The Foundry Roundtable Episode 105: Dose of Doom

drogyn1701

Welcome to the Foundry Roundtable, a weekly podcast dedicated to Foundry missions, mission building and other UGC issues starring Foundry authors Drogyn1701, Markhawkman and Greendragoon, with special guest Castmodean.

This week we continue our long-term mission build. We start by bouncing plot ideas off each other while Dragoon works on his prison and we eventually shift gears to a space map.

Good show as usual guys (although watching NPCs being costumed for a good chunk of the episode was a bit of a waste of your talented airtime ).

I did like the conversations about a broad range of Star Trek stuff while this was going on however and wanted to comment on the General Orders part.

It is thought that the confusion between General Order 7 and General Order 4 was a 'blooper' not caught by the series editors. It is generally believed that Chekov's line in "Turnabout Intruder" was meant to state General Order 7 referring to the death penalty associated with Talos FOUR. (an easy mistake to miss, especially given this was the last episode of the series and people probably had their minds on what their next job would be).

Ah but is that not the true experience that all Foundry authors have? We are men of the people after all!

Hehe... it does take up a lot of time doesn't it?

It's a funny thing, but just about every author I've met places a different emphasis on which aspects of Foundry matter most to them. For more than a few, costume design the aspect they gravitate to the most.

(if you haven't guessed though, my key aspect is map design. )

EDIT: Man, that's cool that we can embed media now. Makes me want to design some graphics for the forum posts.

Yeah, I took quite a lot of time hammering out the details of the costume for the Bak'rikan Group in "The Hydra's Head". This is a beta version, mind (I later added Kobali shoulder pads to Maren Varya and fixed her skin tone).


That's the brown winter longcoat, a winter scarf, fleet dilithium mine belt, intel fingerless gloves, and Jem'Hadar backpack, pants, and upper arm guards. Don't remember what I used for the boots. EDIT: Oh, and a Romulan bandolier (I used Romulans as the faction for this group of Cardassian aliengens).
