Their Fated Travels...Spoken Word Version Chapter 5 Complete

Chapter 5 is done.
That also ends book 1/season 1, in effect.

If you want more, then you're going to have to make some noise, folks. I will supply if the demand seems to be there for its continuation. I will be judging by likes/comments/views of the episodes and general feedback/feeling I get as a response.

TFT Spoken Word Version - Chapter 4 Complete And Thoughts

Here's the link for the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=16CE1006D27F4CF9

Here's some of my thoughts on making it.

This is the chapter where the party see combat at last. The bit I'm most proud of is part 4, where I have added more music, this time for the actual fighting scenes.
I limited myself to what was available from Bjorn Lynne, as a challenge (and it's free to use music!) With that in mind, that I didn't get to have songs made for me, I think I did okay. I am proud of the result, of how I spliced the tunes up and placed musical sections purposely against the spoken words to fit. I tried the very best I could with what I had. I hope you can tell and I hope you enjoy my vision for the series.
We got to hear a couple of the character "theme songs" in there too.
I do want to say though, I don't intend to have music in every fight. I will play it by ear. But this fight was so grand a challenge for them to face it just...it just felt right to have music. I think you'll agree.

I'm sure I will start work on chapter 5 soon enough. After that, I will have to consider how many views the videos are getting on YouTube and thusly how feasable it will be to continue on with chapter 6 after it. It's about supply and demand after all - and I have a ton of other demands pulling at me. It will be up to the fans, the readers, the listeners to convince me to use my time on TFT.

For now though, all the best!

Rob's Thoughts On TFT Spoken Word Series Chapter 3

It's a slow starter isn't it? But that's a good thing. Lots of time is being taken to really let you get to know characters that are in it with you for the long haul. Three chapters in and no combat for the group yet. Chapter four is where they're going to meet up with something dreadful and sudden though...

I think it's the mark of a good adventure story where you can write that much storyline at the beginning and still have no fighting. It hasn't had to resort to it, yet. It's even more incredible when you consider that the setting is the Warhammer Old World! The Empire no less, amidst a coming war - The Storm of Chaos.

You are really getting to see how the characters interact with each other now. A lot of their deep seated idiosyncrasies and issues will be seen on the surface.

I feel I'm getting the character timings down to a place I'm even happier with. As with anything, the more you do it, the better you become at it.

Keep reading, and chapter 4 is being recorded now, just so you know.
