So I just subscribed and this is my first morning coffee with you. I'm not big into computer games, or gaming at all, because I'm from the Boomer generation. My life and habits are a little different. All of that stuff came out when I was in my 20's...a wireless lapel mike! That's what I need! I was just going to look around and see where I could find one. I'm starting a video thing myself -- well, another one aside from the readings that I've been doing since last year. Hopefully, one day you'll find the time to look into my stuff. Oh yes, and I did get into D&D a couple of years back with my son and some of his friends. I enjoyed it, a lot actually. And as to navigating the video aspects of this thing, well, I just play it by ear.
Computer games are okay...and I'll be the first one to say I'm NOT into them...Everquest was really the only one I loved, but I look at modern games and EQ as ways to connect and spend time with my kids.
Not much else.
Fortnite that I mentioned, and about Lucas, is a game my older kids love, and I watch them play. Kinda cool to watch and ask questions about.
The lapel mic is really good. I tried it on my phone, but I think it's my phone...
So now I'm downloading the substack app on my iPad and seeing if i can do all these things via the iPad.
I'm thinking about the lapel mike. My kids used to play games, my son still does. It's a generational thing, I think. Of course, my kids are a little bit older than yours -- like closer to forty now than thirty. (The oldest just turned 39.) I'm using the iPad to make the videos for my new project, and now, with the wife's old phone, I have a second camera I can use.
No fooling! I read out my stories in one go. I have an Apple, and use Photo Booth, then edit it in iMovies, and put it up for Sundays. I sometimes stumble and because the reading time is sometimes fifteen minutes, I don’t want to start over again. People have said they don’t care if I sometimes stumble and have to repeat myself. And that’s fine by me.
I studied many aspects of substack, but I could t, for some reason, figure out how to give people files without having to do a Dropbox link or the like.
I want the option to have it go out to readers.
Now I wonder if you did that behind a pay wall...does it prevent sharing the link?
I have it behind a pay wall because my paid subscribers get a copy of my ebooks before they hit Amazon. I just set the article to paid and as far as I'm aware, free subscribers can't access the file.
I’m excited!
Me too =)
Gonna be fun!
You mentioned Joseph and Isaac being willing to playtest, but if you find yourself wanting another playtester, you know where to find me
You are also volunteering?
I can say right now, you are SO invited, Benjamin!!
Yes, I’m volunteering, I would love the opportunity to play any role playing game with you.
Especially one that is being developed about life of fiction!
YESSS!
@Joseph, we have another brain and perspective to add to the development team!
WooHOOO!!

Hey Ben, and welcome!
...a few things....

We use what we have.
I prefer to do all things with my desktop...and I have a complete portable studio for podcasts....but that doesn't help me with the Substack app.
Thing is, most people don't care about the quality so much as the authenticity of content.
Good thing for you and me =)

Maybe I'm blind but I couldn't find the link to Lucas.
CRAP! THANK you, DW for pointing that out...I didn't insert the link (fixed), but here is the link as well:

Glad to help
I'm not sure if this is what you meant about sharing files but you can put them in a post and let people download them.

This is EXACTLY what I was trying to figure out.
Gosh, thank you so much, DW!
Oh good. I'm glad it was that easy.

May need to do a test.

Thank you for that EXACT example, DW....that's what I would like to do. =)
Like this one. https://dwdixon.substack.com/p/a-gift?r=3onfnc
