Introduction podcasts for FRP/RMSS Rules/Books 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 each product on the official ICE discord servers. This way, everyone can decide if a particular module suits their needs, starting from the earliest releases. Some of these products are no longer available directly and can only be found second-hand on platforms like eBay. Please note that the links I provide are for cover images only—not for purchasing—since there might be cheaper options elsewhere. These episodes are meant to introduce and entertain for new players/Dms, so rules talk is only one layer- the podcast try to teach basics and make them interesting for you. Here's a group of pilot episodes introducing the Healer and Lay healer professions with their base lists and the natural (Skill) healing healing as a second podcast. In addition the Skill companion School of Hard knocks is 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.

So these are all done with notebook LM, Ai?

[Micael]

Yes, many tries and  afterwards worked upon to cut out wrong sentences or put something interesting  in to add from other versions...

[Lord Nikon]

Why not just do a solo podcast or grab a buddy and do a podcast? I have nothing against Ai, but notebook LM audio for podcasts stinks. Heck I'd do one..

[Micael]

You are welcome to do it- but I don't think, that I could do a better podcast then the AI using the perfect content input and corrected afterwards by humans. And don't forget, that the time it would consume is 5-10 hours per podcast if you want to do a similar quality and postproduction- nothing I have available beside my daytime job...
Have fun!

[Lord Nikon]

5 to 10 hours per podcast? whaaaat? nooooooo. but I am not here to argue with you, you want to do your method and I get it. have a good one.

[Micael]

You can look to my interview with nicholas- from ICE (CEO). I had to prepare, discuss all questions before, train the english questions (because I am German, not english- writing is easy, speaking not)- afterwards I needed 16 hours to cut all the scenes, put music to the right places, create title and end pages... I am no professional who is doing this everyday... Just do it and create a 1 hour podcast with others together without misspellings and good tone quality and tell me, how long you need...
Have fun!
