Episode 38.1 now on YouTube. (Patreon)

As I mentioned in this post, things went awry last Saturday. It was too bloody hot here in Edinburgh as a heat wave struck. So, we opened the windows and put on a fan to keep ourselves cool. Everything seemed fine. We played a flashback where Lukas spun a tale for the players, and all was good.

Until we got to the recording. And, nope, it was baaaad. Whether it was heavy traffic, sirens, screaming kids next-door, or other sundry noises of Scotland's capital, it left the recording in a bit of a mess. At points, we couldn't even hear the PCs talk. Our mics were just too awesome!

So, to post-processing we went. After all, there's a lot you can do to tidy up sound these days, and we're getting better at this sort of thing here at LAWhammer. The majority we managed to clean, but some scenes were still fundamentally a bit broken. But, that can be fixed, too.

We've edited them.

This week, for the first time, we've given the video a good edit to remove all the sections that would not have worked for you headphone listeners out there. It means a scene or two has been dropped by the wayside, but nothing important is gone. Indeed, as consider this version to be exactly what Lukas says to Dieter on that evening. Fortunately, as this is 100% a side episode, it wasn't tackling anything essential to the core plot. Well, not much...

Now, for those wondering if I'd edit out the end to have a different conclusion?

Nah!

The conclusion stands.

It was a great conclusion, right?

And, finally, because we've edited this one, you also get to have the joy of our Corner Goblin's voice-over for each of the different sections. Erin was brillo!
