Hopefully this is the right place -

http://doompool.blogspot.com/ has a new podcast, available on iTunes as well.

We feature actual play, as well as news and commentary. Episode 1 also has an interview with Cam. We'll have more episodes soon!

Listened to the show, and it is incredible. Great strategies for using the provided datafiles and hints on maximizing the effectiveness of the data pool... and everybody's top request: live play.

Hooray for the Doom Pool!

Kudos for really pointing out that sometimes you just can't come up with a positive in a given situation for a distinction, and that's okay . . . its all about telling a good story, and some traits aren't going to be good in a given story.

And in a similar vein, thanks for hitting on the point of explaining how your actions are increasing the doom pool.

Hope you guys find plenty of time to record this baby in the future.

Dang! I knew I should of trademarked my site's name. Ah, well . . . at least I get the residuals, right?

By the way - Awesome job. Thanks for putting in the effort to make this podcast.

To be fair, I did use it first in the game, so.

Cheers,
Cam

Early in the podcast, when refferring to the T-Rex from the Savage Land, it's stated that the T-Rex can only spend a D8 to recover Crushing Chomp. This confused me, as I was under the impression that you could use a D10 or D12 to pay a D8 cost.

EDIT: P.S. that "You still don't know a bloody thing about women" clip irritates, especially when all three "What You Need To Know" sub-sections refer to the datafiles of men.

I'm about halfway through the first episode and I like it a lot so far.

One thing, I would try a little harder to make sure you have the terminology correct when explaining rules bits. Plot Points are called Power Points a few times, and during the Doom Pool discussion it's mentioned that you can add a d10 scene distinction to roll against heroes. This either should have said scene complication, or it is wrongly stating that scene distinctions can be a d10. Villain grandstanding is first confusingly described as a description when player opportunities increase the doom pool, and then described correctly.
Things like this probably make it more confusing for new players, rather than helping them understand the game, which I assume is the intent of the doom pool discussion.
