Let's give Focus (or *cough* foci *cough*) another shot, shall we? You can really tell where I went off-script for this one. But writing it helped me understand it better, so I hope it helps all of you, too. For anyone who got switched off Daylight Savings today, this drop might be a bit off time-wise because I'm in BC and we're just keeping the same time all year. So it's set for 6 PM my time. --- If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing and appease the subscription overlords, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirits --- Jen is a cast member at Dork Tales with a particular love for World of Darkness games, especially Mage: the Ascension.

Back in black with my actual proper editing tech! It's time to check out the Kha'vadi in this month's episode. As I mention at the top of the episode, yesterday (September 30th) was Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as well as Orange Shirt Day - Every Child Matters. I promised a link to Phyllis' story, so here you go: https://orangeshirtday.org/about/phyllis-story/ Mage is literally about these issues (among others), and a Kha'vadi episode is exactly the right place to bring them up. I know some people get mad about "politics" in their hobbies. If that's you, you simply don't have to listen. I won't compromise what I believe in to keep everyone comfortable. I'm probably having pre-arguments over here, but I'm bad at seeing comments when they come in, or responding to them, so I don't want there to be any questions about my intent. And to those of you who have left comments - thank you! I appreciate you! On a different note - Episode 0 of the new all-Hermetic mage game Sword of Damocles we're playing at Dork Tales dropped on Twitch last week. New episodes will premiere through Patreon first and in a few months will be available on YouTube for free. I'm so excited for my character. Hope those of you who like Actual Plays will come check it out. --- If you are feeling generous and want me to keep doing what I'm doing and appease the subscription overlords, I've added a tip jar - but no pressure: https://ko-fi.com/tiptheparadoxspirits --- Jen is a cast member at Dork Tales with a particular love for World of Darkness games, especially Mage: the Ascension.

Heads up about this episode - it's not perfect. Of course, my carefully planned return went to pieces the moment I looked away. I found an issue with Episode 31 and so figured I'd fix it and edit it quickly while I was out of town given that I had access to everything I needed access to - boy was I wrong! I forgot the edited version of the episode, so had to cobble something together AND I forgot some important things like the wifi dongle to let my desktop go online and authenticate the subscription our corporate overlords insist we buy....<sighs> I managed to find an open source editing program that I could use from my laptop at least (not Audacity, I had to do it from my web browser because it's a work laptop shhhh), so I could at least get you all something today. However, I am <well> aware that the pacing of my sentences is off, the sound is off where I obviously re-recorded some lines and, well, it's just not up to my usual audio editing standards. I still wanted to get this out on time though, and once I get back to my usual setup I can get a do-over and reupload it. Sorry for the potato audio, maybe the content will at least make up for it though.

Content Warning: Life events. Hey folks. I'm sorry I went AWOL after hoping I'd be back. This brief blurb sort of explains things - at least as much as I want to explain them. Thanks for being here.

Well. That was certainly. A break. If you're still here, thank you. I'm sorry I had to deal with a lot of life all suddenly, and this example isn't quite up to snuff (particularly the ending, but that's another story), but it's here. Finally. We're back baby! I do recommend re-listening to Episode 29 before this, as I literally clipped this out of that episode and therefore don't explain everything again. However, I also managed to accidentally save Episode 29 as a Draft, which meant I had to republish it.....So if you're wondering why it showed up again, apparently my subconscious needed you to remember it! Or something. Maybe I'm just tired....That's probably it.

Time for a hefty episode about combat mechanics - something I'm sure everyone wanted, and most people do actually need. This episode is just the very basic and mundane combat mechanics, and I'll be doing another episode on the magic side of things for January's episode - after I get the combat example edited, of course!

Just a quick note explaining the delay on the combat example piece. Life is being a bit rough at the moment, but I'm hoping to be back in full force soon!
