Proxy Falls, also known as Lower Proxy Falls, is a cascade and plunge waterfall from a collection of springs on the shoulder of North Sister, that plunges into a gaping canyon near McKenzie Pass in the Willamette National Forest, near Belknap Springs, Oregon.

Episode 31 - "Corporate Restructuring" Pt. 3 Released
The finale of the exciting Corporate Restructuring mission. This was such a blast to run. I absolutely love these "mini-sandbox" type missions.
Putting all the pieces on the board and seeing what the players do is just... *chefs kiss*.
I do feel like it runs somewhat contrary to some of the core pieces of Forged in the Dark systems, but ultimately I think with a blend of static elements (schedules characters) and some dynamic consequences it can still work really well.
See you in two weeks for Episode 32 "30 Days of Onion!"

ALL THAT YOU KNOW - (Spotify - YouTube - RSS - Tumblr - Lore Primer)
I’ve been playing in my first-ever fully recorded and edited TTRPG PODCAST PRODUCTION and I really really highly recommend checking it out. (give it a couple episodes for increases in recording quality/mystery intrigue ok? it’s worth it. IT’S WORTH IT!!! TRUST ME ❗ ❗)
we’re running the Forged in the Dark mod - Beam Saber, by Austin Ramsay, and without spoiling the story too much…… this campaign is about war, the nature of consciousness, and the compassion in knowing that none of us will make it out of this alive.

I haven't listened to a lot of the podcast yet, so far I like it. But, I listen to a lot of shows and I have always been wondering about them: how do you find the time and energy to do this?
First of all I want to say sorry for letting this rot in the inbox for so long, life has been kinda crazy lately. (I hope you see this answer!)
This is a difficult question, and I feel like it's been simmering in the back of my mind for awhile. For the sake of brevity, I've tried to boil this down to some short points.
I Love Doing It
I love it.
When I was a kid, I'd make up all these fantasy worlds in my head - and my one wish was to be able to explore them with my friends. I'd have these persistent yearnings to wake up in some fantastical adventure, and just be able to experience something new and exciting free from the usual expectations of life.
Obviously, that didn't work out - so playing pretend with my best friends is the closest thing I have, and like I said - I love it, therefore I'm willing to expend a lot of energy on it - often times at the detriment of other parts of my life.
2. My Lifestyle Enables It
I don't want to really get into any personal stuff too much, but basically - I have a good job, I work from home, I have enough breaks in between my work that I can put in some time here and there during work hours to develop the podcast.
Motivation aside - this is a huge part of it. I still ran games when I was busier and had more demanding jobs, but there was definitely not enough time that I would make a podcast out of it (at least, an edited one).
Editing the episodes, making music, trying to maintain the blog takes up a chunk of time that honestly, I wish I didn't have to worry about, and there are still a lot of things I could be doing better. (Promoting, making more music, etc). But I am very lucky to be able to do even this much.
3. Release Schedule
Having a two week release schedule has been essential to push me to produce this. Without that consistent deadline, I think things would have fallen apart.
(I am extremely glad I didn't do a weekly release schedule, I'd have burnt out so quick.)
4. I Crave Validation
Up until probably my mid-20's, I was afraid to share what I wrote. It was a mix of self-consciousnesses, doubt, shame, etc.
What I realized was that I wasn't afraid of sharing my work, I was afraid of sharing my work and having my fears about being a bad writer confirmed.
Ultimately, I realized that the chance to share my work with people, and interact with a wider audience was worth the risk of having people not like it.
Even just being able to say "I am making this thing, you can find it here" is really good for my self esteem. It feels like I'm creating proof of my creativity, instead of just squirreling it away.
So, here we are. It's been worth it - being able to know people are interested in the show, seeing the questions that come in, being able to interact with other creators.
-----
That's it, but anyways hope that at least partially answered the question. Hope it wasn't too rambly!
As always, thank you for writing in - it really does mean a lot to me.
#atyk#tabletop#hope this inspires some writer followers to make tabletop campaigns#even i wanna try to run one…… someday……
