Status of the Show
|
|
| Well it has been a while since the last show and I wanted to update those who cared on what the status of The Solowargaming Show was. Unofficially I have moved the frequency of the show from every week to once a month. The change occured more as a simple fact of reality than a choice, meaning the show simply wasn't getting posted every week. Other than the frequency of the show I am also still debating the format. From the beginning I didn't want to do another "review" podcast as there are a very lot of shows out there doing that and doing it better than I could alone. Also from a solo perspective there isn't that much to review to justify a weekly show. I still like the alternating show format so that every other show is a review but I am leaning toward doing the review shows maybe every third or fourth show as I generally get more negative feedback from those shows than the others. As far as the other shows are concerned I always envisioned them more as a "Do It Yourself Solo" type of show like you see on the home improvement channel. The purpose is to actually hang a new door or a change a window and walk you right through it. The only problem is finding the time to actually play through a game solo or test a solo mechanism in a real game or, as we are currently in the process of, create and implement a solo campaign. So i think the move to a monthly format will be good. Finally, I don't expect to post any future announcements for the show on TMP as the negative comments that i have gotten predominantly follow my announcements there. I would prefer to alert those who are really interested in the show through this blog, the Solowargamers Group at Yahoo, and the RSS feed that you can subscribe to through Google. That way I feel only those who really want to hear the show will know about it and respond. My main goal for the show is for it to be fun for me and fun for my listeners. I don't make money on the show and I'm not doing it for any notoriety in the hobby. Just promoting fun and hopefully giving back to all you solo wargamers out there that have fed me your great ideas and rules through the years to keep me gaming - mostly solol all these years. So with all that said i am really setting a goal to get the next episode posted by week's end. I will do part II of the solo campaign and give a good review of Berthier which I have been trying to use! |

I look forward to the next pod cast... it is a pity you are not letting us know when it is out through the TMP... you shouldnt let a few comments from people that couldnt do a pod cast themselves stop you from using the TMP as a resource.

Your stuff is gold - keep it going. Weekly was a bit ambitious - monthly is fine - just keep going please
