Fireside Chat Ideas
I am looking to improve some of the aspects of communicating things to the players. Several people have suggested the idea of a weekly fireside chat around when I run test passings. I have created a new Microphone Channel called Fireside for the this purpose. I will accept suggestions here for topics for each week. I would like to keep the discussion on topic as much as possible with as many questions submitted here before the event.
Q: Why do you want the questions up front and not during the event? A: Because historically the ENN chats have started well but got worse the longer they go on. If I get the questions up front, I can think about the answers and not do quick off the cuff answers that tend to upset someone or another.
Q: Can I have a unicorn? A: No, stop asking. It was funny the first 200 times, but now you are more likely to get a snarky answer that causes someone to point out that Pluribus is a meany and he shouldn't talk to the players that way.
Q: How do I submit idea for topics and or Questions that I would like answered. A: Add them to the sections below. (+1 any question that you are interested in that was previously posted)
Q: How long will these chats last and is there any chance of taking questions during the event? A: I am shooting to make them about 30 minutes long. Questions submitted during the event may be answered at my discretion. Posts that are off topic or meant to just be inflammatory will just be deleted rather than posted. (Yes it is censorship, deal with it)
Q: How do I see the discussion as it is happening? A: During the event, just /join Fireside and the microphone channel will be added. If you can't be in game, it will be logged with the other microphone channels.

Questions Per Topic
State of the Game
- So, it is 6 months into the first telling that you have run. What things do you feel that you got right? What things do you feel that you got wrong?
- It feels likes all you do is slow things down, why can't you just give us everything we want NOW
- Why don't you do a kickstarter to fund a new graphics engine?
- Why can't you make the game free to play?
- For Events, instead of one 12-hour marathon, how about 3 or 4 copies of an event, each shorter, and spaced around the clock? This allows people from all different time zones as good of a chance to participate, without people feeling obligated to play for a full 12 hour stretch. Yes, one person could win multiple events. I think most of us are willing to take that chance, though. -Somebob +1 Asnath, +1 Kastou
