Hi ghaladen,
I'm really appreciating your recording effort, this is a great way for me to follow other campaigns and answer my wish to be able to see all paizo wonderful material without being phisically able to find the time to play by myself everything as I would. My group is so slow that we needed about 6 months just to play the price of immortality trilogy, so we'll need at least one year for our first AP (still not clear if it will be Carrion Crown or Curse of the Crimson Throne...).
However coming back to my topic I'm really appreciating your work with ROTR, all the PSS and now Kingmaker too... fantastique!! thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. I think Azmyth from the Chronicles: Pathfinder Podcast coined it best when he said "this kind of 'gaming voyeurism' seems to be quite popular amongst the community of role-players". And it makes a lot of sense. I want to run all 6 Adventure Paths (and even their old Dungeon Mag stuff) every time I hear or read something cool about one of them, but it's completely unrealistic as an adult to play (and prep for) that much. But I can certainly pull up a podcast on iTunes or a playlist on YT and play it in the background while I'm working.
And if I'm GMing a game then these playthroughs are a wealth of ideas. With the page count per module being what it is, it's impossible for Paizo to cover every situation and explain all manner of ways to tell their story. So in that case I think these playthroughs kind of "fill in the gaps" and show GMs what other GMs do, and to me learning by example is the best way to learn.
Also, I think it helps strengthen the Pathfinder brand. The problem with the industry is that Wizards of the Coast is sort of the grand ole Steamship of RPGs and Paizo, White Wolf, Fantasy Flight, etc. are all the tugboats attached to it. So, given the turbulence WotC has experienced lately with 4th edition, if the S.S. known as D&D tanks, Paizo and Pathfinder are gonna drown with it. Now, to be fair, I don't expect my little YouTube channel to expose roleplaying to the world, or even go viral (although it has done decently well for it's meager 6 weeks of existence). But if others follow suit, and suddenly there's lots of Pathfinder material on the web (not just playthroughs), then maybe someday I can walk up to a stranger on the street and ask him if he knows what Pathfinder is, and not get a blank stare up until I say "It's like Dungeons & Dragons". -_-
Anyway, thanks again. And I believe the guys from the podcast are doing Carrion Crown and recording it on Justin.TV. It's unedited, as I imagine with the podcast on their hands, they probably don't have the time to, but still interesting to tune into.

Unfortunately this is Zoji the Half-Blind Oracle's last session, as he has given in to this thing called real life.
However, we have a new player as of Session 4. In the meantime, get it at the usual place.

Hey kids, it's that time again! Our 4th session of our Rise of the Runelords campaign is up on YouTube.

This one was a bear of a video to edit (almost 5 hours), and the next one is a good size as well. Will have that hopefully up soon. As always, please subscribe and comment.

So a few new changes. First we're now recording in 1080p (although the frame rate sucks recording on my laptop, next session is using another machine, so the FR will be better). Unfortunately we were using Logitech Webcam Software with the new camera, and it crashed after the first hour and didn't save the video. Sucks to lose an hour out of the campaign, but it is what it is. We may consider redoing those videos someday just for continuity.
Also, for the time being Jeremy (plays Aerodus) has taken over DMing and I will be playing Brug the Half-Witted Half-Orc Barbarian. He's on a quest to find his goats and the holy totem symbol taken from his tribe's village in the mountains :) (was told during the video that was lost).

9th Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords session finally up on YouTube at http://bit.ly/RiseOfTheRunelords. This was 9 1/2 hours, so it took awhile. Sorry for the wait.
As always, please subscribe and comment.

Sounds like you have lots of fun, makes me regret running a VTT game. :(
I think this is a great resource for us DMs, I really want to use it but...
I'm having real trouble following. My hearing is awful and I cant assign a voice to a character. (Or a mini to a character...)
Could you post up a little bit about your characters for your group here to help us follow along?

Where did you get the cool looking tiles from that you are using in your game?
The Dungeon Tiles from the first session were the Dungeon Tiles Master Set: City from the D&D Essentials line. There's also a Paizo Map Pack in there, although which one it is I forget. The map in the very first fight I believe was from King of the Trollhaunt Warrens module(Amazon link). Every thing else is various D&D Dungeon Tiles I've collected over the years, most which you can find in those Master Sets. Here's all WotC put out:
Dungeon Tiles Master Set: Dungeon
Dungeon Tiles Master Set: City
Dungeon Tiles Master Set: Wilderness
At $13 a box each, which comes with around 10 sheets per box, it's a pretty good deal. Hope that helps.
I merged the multiple threads on this topic.
Thanks.
