Podcasts to introduce RMU to new players/DMs are coming...

[Micael]

Hey everyone! To support our newer gamemasters and players who might not be familiar with every rulebook or supplement published by ICE over the years, I'm launching a short introduction podcast series for many product on the official ICE discord servers. This way, everyone can decide if a particular product suits their needs, starting from the earliest releases. These episodes are meant to introduce and entertain for new players/DMs, so rules talk is only one layer- and sometimes  the podcast try to teach basics and make them interesting for you. Here's a pilot episode introducing RMU core https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_SB5T-GhL5v1KE616HWPcPqX5WuEw6uL/view?usp=drive_link, but on the link below you will find many more for example the Healer and Lay healer professions with their base lists and the natural (Skill) healing  as a second podcast. In addition the professions magician and illusionists are analyzed. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like an introduction for, otherwise, I'll continue posting them one by one over the coming months. Because of the casual view most of the potcasts for RMU and FRP are very similar. In shadowworld chat you can find additional podcasts.

This is a fantastic idea.  The technology and resources available now are fantastic.  I've used YouTube to learn how to play board games with confusing rules.  This will be extremely helpful and very useful to bring in new players to the game system.  I'm looking forward to theses pod casts!

[EltonJ]

Yes.  It is a very good idea!

[Micael]

Yes.  It is a very good idea!

Spell Law is already recorded- hopefully next week I can post it... Have fun

Can you put this on a podcast aggregator?

Can you put this on a podcast aggregator?

Good idea, but its very time consuming to do- we are still pondering how and where to put this most effectively. But I try to upload a few to spotify & apple:

Micael:

All of these podcasts are AI generated via Googles NotebookLM, correct? Just a note that Apple and Spotify TOS:

Creators using AI to generate a material portion of the podcast's audio must prominently disclose this in the audio and metadata for each episode and/or show.

[Micael]

Yeah, we already discussed that in the GM resources Discord chat—this new Google AI is incredible, practically indistinguishable from a live professional. Even better is the AI add-on that offers positive feedback from a neutral perspective on every product. Good point, though—I'll make sure to add it to Apple/Spotify podcasts in every episode.
Thanks
