Published my review of Free League Publishing's Mutant Year Zero: Roleplaying at the End of Days. I have played the hell of a lot of this game and with so much material for it, it is a very safe bet.

Of course the world ends. It was always just a question of time. When it’s all over, Earth is still. Nature invades the ruined cities.

Yup. The device I use records 6 channels in WAW simultaneously. The problem comes when I have been recording for a few minutes and then the memory card can't keep up, so it skips a second or two to catch its breath and the continues, so the video in OBS will always be longer than the audio files.

Paco GMS Magazine @pacogmsmagazine.bsky.social · 20d

I need advice. I need to get a new memory card for my Rode Caster as the one I am using is not good enough and I am getting audio glitching when recording multi-channel. Which one of these would you recommend for speed?

After looking around, seems @ivoox.bsky.social is the best platform for hosting a podcast. It is not free if you want full features, but their support has been great so far and the system seems quick and intuitive. I will start paying and see how it goes! With me luck!
