Whilst surfing old forum threads for my guide, I cam across a vast treasure trove of podcasts (Know Direction - wow!) that are likely of interest to budding games designers... and as I haven't done a mega link post of helpful material for some months now, here's one to be getting on with :P

There are a lot of other podcasts on the same site, but these are the ones I picked personally as likely to be of most immediate interest. Some subjects duplicate over the years, but occassionally different questions pop up, so I have included duplicates for interest.

I still have around 70 or so pod-casts to go, so I might be adding to this list.

I have tried to list them in superstar/importance relevance for you all :)

Enjoy - Starting with the obvious one ...

Nice work Anthony.
As most of these are Paizocon seminars, the running time is going to be about an hour. With 34 post this is a lot of time. One a day, starting when RPGSS is announced should last you right until the time is your entry is due.
I will try and get one a week which lets me finish right about when my entry is due. Nice work, Anthony!

Sssshhh - don't say things like that.

I'll end up checking the boards daily and looking for vote buttons again >.<

Phew! That's some hours of goodness to listen to there :D

As we re-listen to these, do you think it would be helpful to rate them according to the RPGSS usefulness?

Sure, I listed them from the summaries in the order that I felt would be most useful, and some of them are targeting the experience rather than taking part, and others as a method of looking towards the future.

I particularly found Auntie Lisa's Story Hour fascinating - so those towards the end of the list might not be Superstar targeted, I just enjoyed them a lot.

Oh, and the first two involve Neil :P, so start those as 100% Superstar applicable :P

Holy Moly. Dotting, bookmarking, and calling out sick from work for a week. You are a saint, Anthony.

Hmm. Is there a way to download the old Know Direction podcasts? I'd like to listen to a few of them while I'm driving, but I'm only seeing 10 (I assume the 10 most recent) on iTunes.

Those links used to go to the podcasts at know direction. I will try and find out.

Ah, never mind, think I got it. Looking under 3.5 Sanctuary instead of Know Direction seems to have brought up more.

I suspect you will need to right click, save to you computer. Open itunes and add them to your library, then upload to your device.
