The armoured kilt is not the one worn by Scottish Highlanders... its the hardened leather skirt (some times with metal plates) worn in the Iron Age Mediterranean.. the kind of thing you see on Roman officers and in gladiator movies.
Still all good - keep up the good work.
Have you touched base with D20 Radio? Dave and Chris would love to have another podcast join the D20 family and there are a lot of fledgling casters who got their start there. I don't think you need to actually do anything perse - they just link your show, give you space on their forums etc.
Could increase your listener base some and give access to some resources.
My initial intent was to approach d20 Radio, but after listening to their podcasting panel from GenCon on Chronicles (great show), they indicated that they now look for podcasts that have at least 5 shows. So, I was going to hit that mark, then approach them.
Before that could happen though I was approached by Ryan at 3.5 Private Sanctuary about having a home on their gaming shelf alongside other great podcasts like 3.5 Private Sanctuary, Know Direction, and Dwarfed. So you can now find us over there at www.35sanctuary.com, would love to have any and all of you stop by!

I certainly imagine more as the strapped style skirt you see pictures of with Romans and their breastplates... but for some reason it is just fun to talk about the Scottish and kilts.
Still, you are correct.

Sweet! Thanks.

Great podcast, I listened to a few last night. Keep them coming.
I feel like a jerk saying this, but I couldn't finish the dipping episode (which was awesome), because the word is pronounced Ark-Type. It was disorienting to hear Arch-Type over and over, but don't take that the wrong way, you guys do great work.

Sorry it was disconcerting for you. That is probably the single largest bit of feedback we have gotten. We will be fixing it in the future episodes, but we already had a few recorded... still, the others after that one will not feature the word so prominently.
When would we see the next 'cast go up?
I really should get a set schedule for which day of the week I get these up.
Let's do this. The finaly schedule will be a weekly release on Fridays.
However, if Wait until this week on Friday it will be a long wait as the last one was released last tuesday.
So as a transition to the final schedule, I will release the next episode, The Gamers' Guide to Skinning, This Wednesday (9/28) and then the one after on Friday (10/7).

At the risk of shooting myself in the foot and also getting death threats from your growing listenership I suggest have a think about what is a 'sustainable' rate for your podcasts.
First and foremost, I am very happy to think of my growing listenership as a rabid, loyal mob. This makes me giggle with glee.
The point?
Aim for twice a month if you can do it rather than weekly. If you can do weekly? Put a few shows in the can for a rainy day when one of you is sick or for convention season etc... if you get too far ahead? Call one a 'Special' and release it early.
Really, really good point... and one which we talked about a lot before deciding on the 1/wk current rate. We currently have 2 episodes in the can ready to go (well, one still needs to be edited), so getting ahead is where we already are.
The main reason I went with once per week is actually ties back to the reason we decided to do the podcast in the first place... we wanted to cut back on how much we spend talking and geeking out on the game. It was making the wifes pretty mad.
For us, getting together once or twice a week is less than we had been. If we could, we probably would game instead, but it is a lot easier for us to get 2-3 hours at night after the kids have gone to bed to meet and record than to get a group of people together on a more sporadic basis (though we do have two 1/month games going that we play or run).
Anyway... I am thinking two in the can will be good and I am going to try and not fall behind on that, but if we have to we have that buffer. Additionally I think it likely that we will get ahead.
Like you said, as long as we keep our schedule of regular episodes I don't think anyone would complain if we slipped a few more out here and there.
Another consideration with a podcast is back episodes. In my opinion, I am a lot happier with a podcast if I find it, like it, and then realize there is a large back library for me to listen to as well... but we still need to build that back library, and I don't think we are running short of topics any time soon.
Again, you do make a really good point and it is certainly possible that in the future we could have to change to another schedule, but even with our busy lives at the moment we both find it works to make the time to do the podcast at this pace.

Very cool podcast guys. With so many new options for PF being released all the time - its excellent to have a well researched and thorough overview to listen to. Keep them coming and I'll keep listening.

We will have one going up on Friday that will cover the Vehicle rules presented in UC breifly (they are pretty straight forward, so we don't dwell much on them) and the Caravan rules from the players guide to Jade Regent in depth with a build suggestion.
Following that should be Player Types and then a discussion on Words of Power (really excited about that one).
Sean Mahoney
Subscribed, really good stuff you guys, kudos and keep the ball rolling.
You'll move the format to twice a month now moving forward?
I know... I suck... my bad... lol
Barry and I co-hosted an episode of 3.5 Private Sanctuary (blv it is planned for episode 180, tentatively should be dropping on Monday) but had some sound issues. I then used the time I had set aside for editing to work on scrubbing Barry's sound file to try and make it usable again. Long story short, I gave up time I had set aside to get my podcast on time and am now late.
I am hoping to have it up later today. We already have the next one recorded as well and I will definitely have this one edited early for release on time (was a good one, on Words of Power).
Sorry! I will get this once a week, on time thing down though.
Just my 2c but i think you should do an in depth analysis of all the archetypes - 1 class per episode. there are so many and so many of them seem to be TRAPS - like avoid at all costs. its put the fear of god in me when creating a new character. i'd rather avoid archetypes completely and go with the core class as originally designed and balanced. it'd be super helpful! keep up the great work guys.
...[I] think you should do an in depth analysis of all the archetypes - 1 class per episode.
It is definitely on the table for things we plan to do. It's more of a question of when and how, rather than if we will do it.
Honestly the biggest problem I see isn't having enough to go over, but rather having too much to go over.
Taking the wizard for example... do you know how long I could go off on spells for? That could be a two part episode in and of itself!!!
But, we could hit highlights, cover archetypes, etc... should be pretty doable.
Does take a little more prep than we sometimes do though as we don't want it to sound like the page flipping craziness our first episodes on firearms did.
Speaking of which... those episodes cover the gunslinger and it's archetypes pretty thoroughly.
