Let us know what you thought of the metacast, there's a bunch of technical bits, but quite a lot of it is just us riffing and chatting. How's the balance? Should we dive deeper into system and mechanics, do you like it when we just go off on tangents?

I cut whole swathes of discussion on what music you all listened to at school. Thrilling stuff.  |

I thought the balance was pretty much spot on. The checklist is the important bit in mechanics terms really.
The interesting moments in levelling up have always been the revealing little things players give away about how they feel about their character and the game. You did fit a little bit of that in which was nice. I get a warm fuzzy feeling when everyone gets excited about numbers getting higher.
Chatting and riffing is always good. I love the game and the story but I could definitely sit through an hour of you all just talking.
Oh, and Hamid will always be a hero in my eyes. Bless his little cottons.

Yeah, I could listen to you all talk about your characters for ages.. As someone who finds stats really difficult to understand, it works best for me when it's linked to a character because then I can get what the point of it is. Otherwise all I hear is 'this number gets bigger and this number stays the same'.

Otherwise all I hear is 'this number gets bigger and this number stays the same'. I always try really hard to explain the maths in relation to character whenever possible. It's kind of a hang up for me and I understand why it can be a turnoff when people don't do it. |

I've enjoyed the balance and referencing 'Once More With Feeling' is always going to make me super-fan-girl-happy. Numbers in relation to the characters is really interesting for me personally, and I love that you guys are chatting about where your characters are going! Might do similar with my lot soon  (Also, hope you all had Good Xmases and New Years celebrations etcs!) |

James' comment about making academies out of the schools of magic made me collapse with laughter.
But you overlooked the most important point - what about *Brutor's* progression plans?? Or are they not necessary coz he's already the most advanced creature in the world?? Enquiring minds want to know! ;p

Hopefully the latest episode (28) should shed some light. |

Hopefully the latest episode (28) should shed some light. Consider me enlightened! (And slightly horrified - I wonder if Bertie's due a visit from the RSPCA at some point soon...) |

Now see here young man. He's The Divine Being. He simply must learn comportment and style and he's learning from the epitome of mortal comportment and style. I see no reason to get the pen pushers at the RSPCA involved, seeing as they know nothing of table manners or respect for their social superiors. |

I've never had fan theories about my work before. Carfeul or I might go all Abrahams and start mentioning "the mystery box" all over the place. |

I am struggling to add lens flare to the podcast.
