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.

Episode 31 - I Know a Guy
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.
