Gathering Information: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:57, 4 May 2024

Gathering Information is a Patreon-exclusive Friends at the Table podcast series hosted by Ali Acampora where the cast talks about the process of making the show. It was created in March 2023 during a rework of the Patreon, in order to combine elements of the 'behind the scenes' nature of certain Pusher rewards, Drawing Maps, and Tips at the Table. It is available for Telepresence+ tier patrons, and currently being released monthly.

Episodes


#	Title	Release Date	Length	Cast	Description
01	Adapting Playbooks	Apr 28, 2023	1:22:36	Ali, Keith, Janine	Janine and Keith speak about their experience converting Thisbe and Phrygian to a new system AND some of the overlaps and differences in how their characters interact in the world.
02	Designing Astirs	May 16, 2023	1:09:52	Ali, Dre, Sylvi	Dre and Sylvi sit down and talk about their thought process when designing the Devil's Two Front Teeth and the Chariot Mk 2, while digging into a little bit on why they're intentionally uncomfortable experiences for their pilots!
03	Character Playlists	July 15, 2023^[1]	2:04:49	Ali, Janine, Dre, Austin	Making character playlists and the highs and lows of the last month of making Friends at the Table! Highs: good character interactions, Lows: making decisions! Do Not Listen To This If You Have Yet To Listen to PALISADE 17: Upon Our Grace Pt. 4!
04	Antagonists at the Table!!	July 15, 2023	1:27:34	Ali, Keith, Jack	This month, I'm joined by Keith and Jack to talk through THE ULTIMATUM as decided in the faction game and for Keith to share some of his perspective of THE PLAN and to shed a little more light on some of the friction in the last arc me and Austin touched on last episode. I recommend not listening to this until you've listened to PALISADE 18: How It Always Looks Pt. 1!
05	Developers Blog	Oct 4, 2023^[2]	2:05:09	Ali, Austin	This month I decided to bring Austin on so we can just talk through some of the moving pieces in the FatT office right now: Realis, Grandpa's Farm, looking to what we'd like to record in the winter, and of course... some discussion of Palisade! As you'll hear in the episode, part of the reason this release was a bit delayed was Austin wanted to get on call again to discuss some of the conversation around the latest faction turn! Do not listen to these episodes of you aren't caught up with Palisade! There are major spoilers!
06	The Long View	Oct 5, 2023^[2]	1:26:42	Ali, Keith, Janine	This month I was joined by Keith and Janine to talk about Phrygian and Signet, anxieties about the show, and a little bit of bullying!!
06.5	The Long View (Bonus)	Oct 6, 2023	10:48	Ali, Keith, Janine	Don't listen to this if you haven't listened to Palisade 28! Here is a (very tiny) bonus from the last episode of Gathering Info! Keith opened up a little about what he was thinking through for his next character but it was cut for SPOILERS. However, I love Keith and some of what he said is very funny to me, so I thought I should share it now that I can. Enjoy!!
07	Chaos and Adversaries	Oct 23, 2023	1:38:25	Ali, Art, Jack	This month, I was joined by Art Martinez-Tebbel and Jack de Quidt to talk about...bam bam bam...playing the faction game. I think we ended up having a productive talk about this, so I hope you all enjoy this look into their experience and perspectives!
08	Chaos... Again!!	Dec 4, 2023	1:28:48	Ali, Dre, Keith	This month, I gout Dre and Keith to chat about their approaches to playing, their opinions on DEATH and a check in for big character changes! Are you Team Broun or Team Gur? Drop your hashtags in THE CHAT (don't do this omg) December is... y'know, Decembering and with it a new episode of Gathering Information to come! My hope is to get Austin and Sylvi to sit down and provide a definition of yuri. Sweet dreams ! ! ?
09	Two Wild Beasts	Dec 30, 2023	1:31:25	Ali, Austin, Sylvi	Hello hello hello! Have you noticed that love is in the air? Holiday Season(TM) is already behind us and stores are putting out their valentines goods? Are you ringing in the new year with the hope to live with more PASSION? Well, here's a Gathering Information to set you off on the right foot! This month, I'm joined by Sylvi and Austin to talk about.... ROMANCE! PASSION! CONFLICT! WCW? ENJOY!
10	Into the Mirage	Apr 14, 2024	1:34:59	Ali, Austin	This month I had Austin join me solo to dig into more production and GM type questions for the most recent C/W prequel and our Road To The Finale ! I could write more here but stuck in my mind, there is only one question: If Cody Rhodes is Bugs Bunny, does that make Roman Reigns Mickey Mouse?
11	Soundtracking a Miracle	May 4, 2024	1:35:33	Ali, Jack	Hello all, here's a brand new episode of GATHERING INFORMATION! This month I was joined by Jack to talk about the soundtrack for PALISADE, specifically the process around writing Just One Second and Put To Work. This was recorded before we started playing Questlandia, so it already feels like a distant time far far away.... alas, time! is! fake!
