Introducing... "Playback"! It's not really a Foundry "show", per se.
This video series (if it ends up being that, it's experimental at this point) is just me, and at times a partner (the esteemed
@Irislynn !), playing your mission, with our verbal commentary enabled.
If you're an author, you might care because it is an opportunity to see your mission being played in real time by 1-2 players with live commentary that can display strong and weak points in your mission... plus you get to see what both an experienced and more casual player think of your work!
Please submit your mission to me/us below. I'd prefer that it meet the following criteria:
- Is a Fed mission (for now)
- Can be finished in roughly under an hour
- Is group-friendly (unfortunately this might disqualify well-made but complex missions that depend on triggers. Sorry advanced authors!)
Not sure if we will play them in the order they are received or which ones look interesting, so pitch away I suppose.
As I mentioned this is a new and casual project so I'm unsure when we can get playthroughs out or how quickly we can play contenders, but I will keep people posted.

King of the Mountain
ID: ST-HIZ9VPQY2
LEVEL: 31+
An emergency beacon from a Federation shuttlecraft has been detected, originating from the icebound world of Toron V in the Beta Ursae sector. Conditions on the surface are brutal so a rescue effort must be mounted at once.

Thanks to ajstoner for volunteering his mission!
It's... not the most complex mission, but I'm curious...
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?
It's Federation, starts at Wolf 359. And is reasonably group friendly, as much as anything is in the Foundry.
It was the winner/only valid entry in the PrimetimeUGC "Rogue AI" contest.
