it was just an idea.
I actually give a feck what format the mag continues in.
text html podcast whatever.
as long as it actually behaves like a mag.
Right now most of it is just coppied off the list and developers news
briefs most of which are usually out of date unless the devs have not
released them.
Sadly because of the net our magazine is about as good as a crappy
dialup connection.
in a lot of cases bar the articles and some places like the dnd site
which I don't visit as often as I should most of the info is in our
hands and out of date when the mag is released.
the mag is then quite small.
but then maybe my expectations are quite high.
the industry has changed from its fast roling pace to a trickle
almost stopping at least on the user level in places.
sometimes there is nothing but the swamps sometimes the treasure
comes in nuggets and dubloons.
But I don't know.
I am happy that there are those that want to continue the mag.
Right now the mag may as well be dead and gone the shape its in.
And I am sure it would be easier to call it quits.
though I am not discouraging the fact that there is still a push to
keep this thing going.
I have often wandered what will happen if the mag ever went.
oh we would survive for a time.
the old guard, but without anyone replacements the zombies would come
and then well.
I have noticed this somewhat on swamp.
after my system refused to play swamp I got on a few campaigns on
another box and found I just didn't enjoy it as much as I used to
when it was in active status.
I have noticed that postings to forum has dropped some to.
I wander how long things will go on till the game is lost in the
forum swamp or the page past page 1 of the forum whenever it goes.
Once topics drop to what I like to call the crap pile since its not
right in front of me simular to the back pages of the newspaper which
I don't read they are basically lost and I find that sad in a way.
I used to remember the time when we were a strong force.
We were shooting leaves up to the sky and even with a few small wars
we survived.
To be honest though I never though that it would come to a possible
end sertainly stagnation was not my idea of an end.
its probably just me and I sertainly am not bailing out but so little
news comes out compaired from before.
I think if we are to continue I think we should go foreward and try
to update the mag and try and restore the adventure the mag was.
in the old days you never knew what you were going to find.
The only way I can see this happening is to get the mag on a even
schedual then somehow withhold news and stuff till the mag is out.
or simply have a smaller mag I am just not sure.
I think of something and my mind thinks about the old days.
we have most of the mag in bits before it even comes.

Hi Charles,
It was my understanding that the podcast, assuming we did one, would
be in addition to and not a replacement for the Audyssey Magazine.
Like you I feel a magazine should be read and not listened to. Besides
that it would get pretty darn expensive paying for extra hard drive
space and bandwidth for a podcast compared to the price of a few MB to
store the magazine. Big difference in cost there, and one I don't
think certain members of our community fully appreciates. In any case
I don't expect the magazine will be switching to a podcast for those
and other practical reasons.
Cheers!

The last I heard, he wants to go to a podcast format, which may or may not
work as well as the previous method. JMO, but I think that a magazine
should be read, not heard. Also, direct links to sites can't be put into an
audio presentation. Also, submissions from readers might be more difficult
to insert and edit. While podcasts are cool, I don't think it would be a
good format for Audyssey. Again, this is just my opinion.
