World Wide Web of Darkness

Interested in talking about the World of Darkness? What about Vampire the Requiem? Werewolf the Forsaken? Mage the Awakening? Promethean the Created? Geist? What about Masquerade, Apocalypse, Ascension, Wraith, etc, etc?

Lime Flavored.com is the place to put that podcast.

I am actively looking for podcast content and would LOVE to include a World of Darkness podcast to that... whether its actual play or informational, this is the site for you. Just go to www.limeflavored.com and use the email link to send in your idea!

We'll talk.

Something new, this way comes...

I am actively working on something new, which started out as an interactive podcast and has blossomed into a full blown online chronicle.

Interested? Check out my website, www.limeflavored.com for more information and updates.

Something Old, Something New...

Denizens of the dark, may I have a moment of your time? There is good news and there is bad news. Let's start with the bad.

The Bad News:

The Podcast of Darkness as you know it IS dead, deceased, gone to join the choir invisible... if I hadn't nailed it to the perch, it'd be pushing up the daisies! (Wait, that is a line from Monty Python). In any case, the Podcast of Darkness AS the Podcast of Darkness has died.

Now, we take you to the GOOD news:

The Podcast of Darkness is coming back as The Masquerader podcast! As far as Robert and Aaron go, they are no longer permanent fixtures on the airwaves. There are reasons for that, which I will go into, but let it be known that those reasons are not my own.

As The Masquerader, I will be solo-casting the new World of Darkness (trying to release what I'm covering ahead of time). I have made a concerted effort to obtain as many of the new WoD books as possible to be able to expound upon some of the ideas in the new World of Darkness. I will also be having guest hosts! Yes, now those super dedicated listeners can join me in my effort to podcast... and if you feel that one of my shows highlights a strong suit of yours, by all means, let me know and we can see about getting you online!

To expand: I am diligently working on a method of getting out my podcasts in a way other than the badongo method I was using before (i.e., I am trying not to be "ghetto"). This means I may have to pay for some sort service to either host it or distribute it that is more "professional" than we've been in the past. If I go this route, and I am limited to my own resources, my time online is limited, so I will be needing some assistance.

Don't think this "assistance" will be only in donation form. We'll be doing some t-shirts, mousepads, and maybe some other items... swag.

Now, the expansion on the status of Robert and Aaron.

In Robert's case, he is not in love with the new system. To say it easily, he hates the new system. I absolutely love this new system and since there is very little that I want to do with the OLD system, Robert probably won't be on very often or at all.

In Aaron's case, he is currently attending college. His commitment to anything other than his girlfriend and school is almost non-existent. There is certainly nothing wrong with that but his involvement in the new podcast (or the old one) will be a "now and then" type of deal. More power to him.

But, for the future, The Masquerader is what I am looking at doing and even running an online chronicle right along side the podcast... that, too, is being looked into as well. Since I'll be going a lot of this by myself (at least for the moment), I'd like a little patience. If you want to help, the place to start is with the Resources of Darkness. I'd like to turn that website into THE place for the new World of Darkness.

And, that will be the primary place for updates from here on out. I don't know how often I'll be updating this website but that one will get updated more often. Any help is good help.

Thanks and check out the new website.

The Death of the Podcast of Darkness?

Not quite yet.

Stay tuned.

33?

Yes, 33... I don't have episodes 34 and 35... sorry, if anyone HAS them, I would be happy to wrap them up with the rest.

Links to the shows

Finding that Badongo files are gone? Can't listen to all 33 episodes? Below are the archives of all 33 episodes in zip format. Enjoy!

First 10
Second 10
Third 10
Final 3

Sorry about size, I don't have the time to individually wrap them.

A change is on the horizon

For those wondering, the podcasting of the Podcast of Darkness is all but over with. I apologize, but too many things have come into our lives to keep this up and maintain any sort of quality for the podcast.

My podcasting (Dustin's) however, is not over with. I am going to be video casting or podcasting (or both) on many topics with a focus towards things that I like (politics, writing, comics, good TV, NFL football, and more). Gaming will be included from time to time, but since I have had a fire lit under me with writing, I think that will more than likely become the largest focus.

I am participating in NaNoWriMo and that has given me some hope for getting out of one of my two crappy jobs and being able to write for a living. Being an author is something I have always wanted to be and I have some serious motiviation to get that going now. Not only do I want to write novels, I want to write comic books. I have lots of ideas and they need to start hitting paper or I am going to be stuck doing crappy jobs that I don't care for.

If you are interested in knowing more or following any progress on a video cast or podcast from Lime Flavored in the future, go to my Lime Flavored blog.

Thank you for stopping.

Episode 35 and Notes

First, the link to the Episode (35): Download this episode

Now, the notes (taken from the Forums of Darkness Announcements):

• We are going to be putting more effort into researching Mage (for the Unbound chronicle) so that we can be more of an authority rather than just a couple of goons wading through it like everyone else.
• We are returning the non-game specific segments like plot ideas, character creating, world building, and things like that. This will be a PERMANENT part of the show.
• With this new focus, we may also be renaming the Podcast of Darkness to something less bland... maybe.
• I now have the ability to use VIDEO, which includes having little loading time, no specific program requirements to run the show, and the ability to broadcast LIVE (which will include live call ins, live chat, text messaging, and more!). This will still be recorded as audio, but visual references can now be added to the program! (Which is another reason for a possible renaming)
• A new forum, free of silly errors. The new forums will have modifications like a roleplaying system built in, a cash system built in, battling abilities, and things of the like... as I have said, though, that is giving me an issue with this at the moment.
• A better interaction with all of you, as listeners, viewers, and players. How? Unbound. I am going to have to kick it in the ass with this thing once everything else starts falling into place and I will put some time aside on a regular basis so Unbound can be put online and started.
• Finally, the freaking resources site I have promised. Yes, I will begin putting up articles and whatnot, mainly ones that appear on the show, that can be referenced and built upon by anyone with the desire to jump in and help.
  

These are the things we will be working on and there will be podcasts until we launch the video one. Thanks for listening!
