The podcast lives!

[Undeadprotoss]

Hey! So I know that I've been absent for a few months, a lot of personal stuff going on. But I've figured out how to make a podcast and I was hoping we could do one via Skype maybe this week or next week?

If you're interested, comment below the general times you'd be able to come, it would last about an hour and be on Skype. Comment time zone as well if you don't mind.

Probably should update the original thread, think people are still interested just the lack of new "lore" content slowed down discussion.

[Undeadprotoss]

Just updated it. Maybe we could talk about Enumrate because it seems like it's a really hot topic now.

[Nissa]

Nah, Mislag's just into it, and a bunch of us have been having only vaguely related rants on his threads. I think for an early podcast we might want to talk about who we are, why we're fans of SC, and stuff like that.

[Undeadprotoss]

For sure we can do that as well. Just a general SClegacy themed podcast and we figure out where to go form there.

[Gradius]

Maybe ask LoA for access to the sclegacy YouTube channel. Or I could upload the podcasts there.

[Undeadprotoss]

For sure I'll sent him a tell. I think I follow him on twitter so I'll talk to him there.

Just updated it. Maybe we could talk about Enumrate because it seems like it's a really hot topic now.

It is not hot at all. I have been trying to drum up interest but no one else has engaged with the timeline. Most of my posts in that thread have been new material based on it and the canon expanded universe.

If you want to talk about it, the thread is open. I have not memorized the whole thing but I can answer general questions about the premise.

[Undeadprotoss]

Hey guys, so I've recorded the first episdoe! This one was WoW centered with Ian Bates (red shirt guy) and you can check it out on SoundCloud. I'll add a youtube link later.

Awesome work, Undead! If and when you want to do a podcast focusing on the art and atmosphere of StarCraft, let me know! I'd love to contribute. Being an artist himself, Robear might be a good contributor for something like that as well.

Maybe we could all take our grievances with the current StarCraft canon and turn it into something constructive, laying down a structure for a better future for the franchise's story. That might be an interesting entry for your series.

Maybe we could all take our grievances with the current StarCraft canon and turn it into something constructive, laying down a structure for a better future for the franchise's story. That might be an interesting entry for your series.I do not want to be un-constructive, but I must point out the obvious. This has been done before every which way. There are numerous custom campaigns for SC/BW alone depicting a hypothetical Brood War 2, such as HunCraft, War of the Tribes, The Fenix, Palinchron Concordance, Recolonize Mar Sara, After Brood War, Dark Cold, Final Chapter, Praetor Daexan, The Hybrids, The Hybrids Chronicles, The Revengers, Ascension of Duran, The Last Cerebrate, Empire Wars, Uprising and Resurgence. Enumerate outlines a detailed yet flexible alternate timeline in fourteen pages, and over a hundred pages on concepts for technology and culture, which prunes extraneous elements (e.g. QoB, Duran, UED) to focus on the original premise of the franchise.

Why would you want to reinvent the wheel as opposed to adopting a previous wheel? What makes your attempt stand out from the many others that came before? I do not think your idea is bad, but I wonder if you are going off half-cocked and I speak from experience when I say that. I spent many pages on notes for my version of Brood War 2 and alternate timelines, but after I learned of all the successful campaigns and documents that already came before me I gave up on reinventing the wheel and just attached myself to what already existed. There was no point for me to continue my notes because the previous works had already come to the same conclusions independently. The best that I can do differently is to integrate obscure concepts and stories from the canon expanded universe and devise possible story hooks based on the materials I have at hand.

[Undeadprotoss]

Absolutely! I'm down whenever you guys are, I'm able to do this weekend or sometime next week as well. The first episode would most likely revolve around us introducing ourselves and the like though. But we'd absolutely get to how art and atmosphere play a role!
