So the doco on D&D’s 30th anniversary is being broadcast tomorrow.
For those who came in late, I’m probably on it, as I ran a session for the microphone. They may use none/some/lots of the session, I dunno.
I’m only a little nervous about how it’ll turn out – the guy making it seemed very on to it, his angle was solid and I have thought through media enough that I optimised what I was doing for an audio audience. (Hmm. Is an audience for video a vidience?) Still, things can turn out wonky nonetheless, and I was only a small part of the big picture.
NPR in the States ran its own, equivalent, doco yesterday. The gamers they used were the centre of the story, which we won’t be, and they sounded like good people. The whole thing was good – but not perfect. It gave a strong impression that there are no women involved in gaming ever, for example – I made sure that there was a female voice in our group to cut this question off at the pass.
Anyway, no point talking about it until it’s out. Saturday 3.30pm UK time, BBC Radio 4, available for download on the BBC Radio 4 site afterwards. I’m gonna listen to it driving through the English countryside, unless I’m locked up in a Lovecraftian asylum after witnessing Things Man Was Not Meant To Know in our sleepover at Derby tonight.
Speaking of which, I must pack.

The Tall Blacks beat Serbia-Montenegro, current basketball world champs, at the Olympics! While Spain is probably beyond our reach, we are able to knock off Argentina, too, they’re vulnerable… let’s hope things go the Kiwi’s way. Its so damn good to see this team taking names!

Hey ~m, good to hear your soothing and authorative voice over the interminet! Shame the article didn’t feature you and your group more, cause I’ve never really thought of you as a sound bite / aural candy which is kinda how you came over.
