The following are instructions and suggestions for submitting this season:
Directions:
10 minutes max! – we’re going to be enforcing the limit a lot harder
Don’t narrate everything, be selective about what you talk about – focus on things you either loved or hated
Leave pauses between subjects in your audio (these will not count against the time limit)
Note: For the manual episode specifically – Don’t read the whole thing, there will be a secret narrator. Just call out things you care about in the first 14 pages (the rest is a player’s guide).
Suggestions:
Take notes beforehand
Edit your submission down (leave bloopers at the end of the sub)
Be proactive and submit before the deadline
Don’t describe every battle – please
Note: The Manual Episode is also a good time to talk about your nostalgia for the game and any behind-the-scenes trivia.
