PointOfViewWeekly

Recorded 3/15/18

In this episode of PointofViewWeekly, we take a few minutes to talk about BFLs during Bob’s intro. We discuss the new Fantastic Beasts trailer, Bob has feelings…. We also learn about the RPG Bob is playing. Scott has a new project that is a cross between Hamilton and Critical Role, it’s a must listen and the link will be below. Ryan is doing his fatherly duties and Scott is going to be an uncle. Sue and Danielle round out the crew. We have homework for next time, so that should be fun too. We invite you to do the homework and let us know what you think. Have a great month, everyone.

For the second week in a row the PoV team met up to chat and this time we recorded it. We had a few mishaps along the way, but we wouldn’t be Potterficweekly if we didn’t. Ryan will explain our newest friend Craig once we get going, he’s a good minion but not a great one. Bob starts us off by telling us what’s been happening with him since New Years, poor Bob. Then Danielle joins us after Ella goes down to talk about Stranger Things and This is Us. Scott is missing as he had other plans on the only night we could meet up, we did talk with him a bit before the recording began so we know he’s doing well. Enjoy the insanity that is Poufwa.

Here’s the latest episode of PointofViewWeekly, recorded last month.We discuss the new Star Trek shows, books we’ve been reading and a little Critical Role. Danielle gets Ella to bed and then joins us late, Bob has other commitments and has to leave early and Sue goes mute to answer a phone call. Along the way we talk about ducking, Captain Malfoy and cats. Scott becomes unplugged and Sue tells a bad joke. Sit back and enjoy this episode of Poufwa.

Welcome to Poufwa Whenever!! In true Poufwa fashion we gathered together for a podcast. Ryan was on a new computer as his had eaten our last podcast and Bob was Twitching. Danielle was sick and MIA, Scott was jet lagged from Ireland and Sue was cussing her computer. But come together we did and we even talked about things. What, I don’t remember, but we talked. We hope you enjoy this crazy podcast. We promise to try and get them out a little more regularly.

Welcome to Poufwa Whenever!! We gathered together to give each other recommendations for shows, books, games we thought the others would enjoy, but first we get sidetracked. It starts with Ryan wanting to do a quote, then jumps to Fantastic Beasts. Yes, they’ve finally watched it!! And Bob is still have strong feelings about the movie and the actors. Scott joins us late and Sue has to leave early, but we all manage to be there at some point. At the end of the show we do get around to our recommendations which are as varied as we are. We hope you enjoy the show and we’ll do our best to record another one soon.

It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to sit down together and podcast, so even though two of our usual group can’t make it, we podcast anyway. Sue has a question about ghosts, Ryan realizes we’ve missed something and Bob invites you to watch him on Twitch. Sue and Bob talk D&D while Ryan chases a cat. We hope that Danielle is feeling better and that we find Scott who is MIA for this one.

We hope to be able to get together again before three months are up.

Welcome to our second D&D play session!  From over 3 months ago!  …Yeah, Scott hasn’t gotten any faster at editing.

In this episode, our intrepid adventurers attack the goblins on guard and check out the building they’ve been tracked back to, hoping to rescue the blacksmith’s kidnapped daughter.  Ander rushes in swinging, Zan lobs cantrips with abandon, and Tia does her best to keep them out of trouble. It doesn’t really work.  

Sadly Amy had a cold when this was recorded, so Zarra was inexpertly piloted by Scott.  She gets a few arrows in though.

Can our heroes overcome the goblins and escape with the girl?  And what are goblins doing in this old stone building, anyway?  Listen and find out!

Intro and extro music used with the kind permission of Ross Bugden.  They are edited from his pieces “Rapture” and “Drive” respectively.

Other music and sound effects used include:

Forest by casenote,

Ambush by Devan Edward Ballard,

Goblin Cave by Phil Jervell, and

Goblin Hordes by user952397679

all of which I found on Soundcloud via the Roll20 jukebox and used during play, though I had to add them back in for the podcast.  They’ve been further enhanced by a few effects from The Dungeons and Combat soundpads by Tabletop Audio, which are free to use with attribution (though Scott is also on his Patreon because these are good), and versions of

Desecrated Alvarian Temple by Fox Forrester, and

Abandoned Temple by GrayHeart

Those Scott found on ambient-mixer.com, which allows you to turn on and off sound effects in a posted ambience and also create your own.  They’re available under a Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 License , which apparently isn’t supported for new stuff, but still counts for those things that already had it.

As of this posting, we still haven’t recorded the third episode, so who knows when it will arrive, but we’re hoping to get on that soon – probably in a few weeks when Scott is no longer rehearsing like mad.  In the meantime, sit back, relax, and we hope you enjoy our attempt at D&D!

When we talked about doing this podcast we had a few subjects to talk about, but it turned out there were only two that got mentioned. Ryan went on a rant about Gilmore Girls, the revival. Then Bob had a few words to say about Fantastic Beasts, most of them started with F. We talk a little about the one Star Wars movie. All in all we just had a good time sitting down and talking again. Ryan and Danielle open a Christmas gift on air. We won’t be doing a Holiday episode this year, so there are a couple of holiday favorites attached to this, enjoy.

We at Poufwa wish you a wonderful holiday, whatever you celebrate. We want to thank you for listening and being a part of our Poufwa family. You all mean a lot to us.

Happy Holidays.

This is what happens when you mix the coasts with the middle of the states and throw a Canadian in for good measure. Join us for some hard hitting thoughts on our recent election. Bob is AWOL, so we pulled Lady Chi in for the ride and if you know Lady Chi and Ryan, you’ll know it was a ride. No blood was shed and we’re all still friends. At the end we talk briefly about Ella’s Birthday Stories. Congratulations to the story Family Meeting for getting the most votes. If you are interested in reading these stories they can be found here.

Recorded 9/13/16

We’ve been away for a month and are excited to get back together for a chat. We learn how to count with Bob. And while waiting for Canada to join us, we plan for Ella’s first birthday. Sue gets confused by a message from Scott. There’s discussion of Star Wars and Star Trek Then Ryan sends Bob his love.

Here’s a link to one of the costumes Danielle liked for Ella’s birthday.
