There's a great, fully-featured, popular, free (both libre & gratis) podcast app for Android called Podcast Addict. I use it, and I listen to plenty of podcasts which use things like art and chapters, so I guess it handles M4As just fine.
ah, so Darion is an established character, and not a clever excuse devised by Bill ! didn't realise that ^_^ looking over some of the other posts again, I think the extracts from their work are fairly consistent and academic in tone, and then comparing that to the more expressive personality in their personal correspondence is kinda a fun !
I've also remembered (another) example of worldbuilding told through a title page and contents : Too like the Lightning by Ada Palmer. the titlepage should be available through the Amazon preview or here on Google books. this isn't, like, some post-modern literature so the narrative actually happens in the novel, but nevertheless I thought the titlepage was constructed really interestingly. (and is perhaps a subtle way for worldbuilders to info-dump without interrupting the plot (although Palmer info-dumps throughout the book anyway but that's besides the point))
since Oa lacks the /ɛ~e/ vowel, which is in the stressed syllable of "Artifexian", the transcriptions needed to find a workaround. I transcribed and syllabified Artifexian thus : [ar.tə.fik.sian], while /u/Yottaphy went with [ar.ti.fə.k͡sian]. it would be interesting to see how a herald working from the blazon alone would go about it !
hope you get over the cold soon, Bill !
Kyrloth's capital is the twin city of Azmarin/Zlovskavaar (A/Z for short). Its centre of governance is a very large hexagonal building called Dar'kana Tower, located on the island of Zlovskavaar, which is represented on the flag.
The use of only grey is intentional.
What do you think?
Hey Edgar and Bill, I finally got up to date with the podcasts to participate in these threads woo! I've a shneaky bit of info about the 8 bit sounds bit. I dabble in a cheeky bit of electronic music production and I use a free programme called LMMS (Linux Multi Media Studio), it's super easy to get decent beeps and boops with it.
Oh and some similar enough artists to savant, going a bit darker and more O the 80's: Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Magic Sword, Scattle
EDIT: LMMS link (it's for Mac as well as windows) https://lmms.io/download/#linux
On Writing: Don't know why I never thought of seeking out writing podcasts. This will be my goal for today! I think I will be firmly in the architect camp. The thought of being a gardener scares me...too many unknown variables.
On fonts: Cool bit of info on thrillers
Other notes: Those names of yours sound great. They feel like they come for a singular culture. Very cool.
Software: Huh! So you've kinda configured google docs to act as a giant cloud based wiki! That's pretty cool. Must check this out.
