Another session of the Carrion Crown campaign, and the group finds themselves embroiled in a werewolf murder mystery. Deep in the Shudderwood, the group is staying at Ascanor Lodge, and indications are that a werewolf is on the grounds, killing a new victim each night.
Video is now posted on YouTube, and ready for review.
Major challenge this week was really technical. I attempted to trim the workload of the video system by utilizing NDI to share the player-screen. Unfortunately, the Ubuntu Linux based software has issues, and ended up locking up several times during the game. That piece will have to go back to the design, to figure out how to get it stable.
The other challenge was with lighting and the cameras – I noticed mid-game that the player cameras had shifted somewhat, making at least two players nearly hidden. A bigger concern was the lighting – with our new LED-lit table, we have the overhead lights off. However, that appears to make the room darker than expected (and darker than prior games). I likely will need to add or redirect some of the lighting, but several players just disappear in the background.
In the meantime – we are continuing our prop giveaway, after unfortunately not receiving any participation last round. If you have interest in our props, like, subscribe, and post a comment on the latest video. A random commentor will receive the current prize bundle – the Promethean from the prior game and a set of Rust Monsters added after this session
