Welcome to the more official page of the Fauncast Awesomecast (name testing).

Here you put up any ideas for future episodes of this series and ask any questions.

Our first episode will be on the Althanas Day 2017, the day that kicked off the Althanas Festival. Guests with me this week will be Amari (Tiffany) and Shinsou (Chris) and perhaps a surprise guest or two.

We need your questions!

Please post below any questions you have of our guests who may or may not be regulars, you'll have to find out and see, and any other questions. About writing, althanas, anything!

Assuming you're all readers, because why wouldn't I, what are your favorite books or series that might not be well known to the general audience?

Why wasn't the tavern thread a thing before? It's a fantastic idea.

Yes.

Also, why can't we have an Althy day everyday? Or like, once a week?

WE SHOULD DO IT ONCE EVERY WEEK.

YES.

This idea just came to me:

List off the Althanas characters you think are legitimately mental. From writers active and years gone, doesn't matter

EDIT:

- Which Althanas characters could win at chess?
- Most intelligent Althanas characters?
- Althanas characters who are the most sane, despite the insanity that is the world of Althanas.
- Which Althanas characters would use water guns as legitimate weapons?
- Althanas characters who would legitimately be heart warmed by funny cat videos?

Yes.

YES.

Too much exp, rapid character advancement.




Best ships and ship names? We need the ships. All of them.

minus the exp

we should do it everyweek

Thanks everyone for all the useful info.

Fenn I think everyone would love to do it every week. But if you enjoyed it there might be scope for more.

What would people think of another festival day? Maybe half way through the year, so winter time?

Would love a sooner festival since I was completely tied up for this one. I'd target a non-holiday this time (as Labor Day in the US is very much full of cookouts and intoxication for some of us).

Hye guys

Sorry I did not put this up earlier as I forogot.

However, we are recording tonight and we need your questions!

Tonight we will be having Venex as our guest, and our main subject will be Althanas 4.0!

Ashla

Okie!
Come back to an edited Post for questions! :)

- What's the hosts' and guest's favorite regions?
- What's the hosts' and guest's least favorite regions?
- What regions need more attention and development?
- What regions do you guys think are overrated?
- What kind of region/ country do you think has not been done yet here? Like, we've got pretty much three snow regions, a desert region, a combined elf and zombie region, two Murica-like islands, two mordors. . . What else do you think would be neat to see?

~ You have any particular bits of lore or wiki pages that you like?

~ How do you think we could best attract a few more writers to the site?

~ Do you know... the muffin man?

Sorry about this guys but the liklihood is that i'm still going to be stuck in work for recording. Have a great show.

If Althanas were a fighting game, who would be the final boss?

Child Detective
09-13-2017, 03:33 PM
Out of all the characters on 4.0 which is the most interesting based solely on character sheets

Atzar

Whose character would be most fun to hang out with IRL?

Philomel
09-13-2017, 05:28 PM
Subject change due to cast change - tonight we will be talking about all things New! New people, new characters, new alts. How to introduce yourself as a new person and how to get stuck in with a new story.

Our (my) guests tonight will be Briarheat and Venex Apara

*Tentative hand raise*

What's the topic for next week?

Philomel
09-15-2017, 10:16 AM
The plan is to have the topic as 4.0 :)

If that fails then how to reach new members.

Funnily enough Venex we did once have a Althanas D and D over Skype ... Also my own RPG group has kind of fallen apart because everyone seems to want to take a break. I'd be up for being in one again...

1.) Out of all the bazaar's material, what is your favorite? Out of metal, wood, bone, glass, anything?
2.) What materials (like delyn or elkan for example) are the most underused?
3.) Swords are overrated, right?
4.) Name off the top of your head a weapon that would be extremely expensive in the bazaar - excluding guns and weapons with gunpowder.
5.) Region with the most amazing ores and woods and stuff?
6.) Oddest thing you ever saw purchased from the bazaar?
7.) Oddest thing you ever saw sold at an auction.

Hey guys

With hope we will be recording the podcast tonight (Yey!)

Thanks you for all your questions last week, we will be answering them tonight.

Joining me tonight will be Shinsou, along with a special guest hopefully and we will be talking about Althanas 4.0, the main differences from 3.1 and all the good things that are soon to be coming to you :D

Feel free to post more questions below, although we do have a lot already. And yeah, join us tonight :D

Philomel

3. When do I need to be available for the Fauncast?
See above answer.

I am EST so will likely not be available before 10pm GMT on weekdays, give or take. (6pm EST my time)

If that's okay for you, I can be available.

Philomel
10-02-2017, 04:37 AM
Venex ... And others. Because Venex was asking, I have decided to run an un-official althanas RPG, though it will include only althanas people. Check out the thread called RPG to get in whilst spaces are available.

Philomel

Hey people

As you may have noticed there hasn't been an episode in a while. Apologies for this but for now, for various reasons, there won't be one again until I can find the time and energy once more.

It's okay; we can wait until things are going more smoothly! <3
