Now You Know – An Adventurous Ending

Every week, Now You Know recaps the Know Direction content of the past week, previews the Know Direction content of the week to come, and shares the thoughts on the state of the network from the director of operations, Ryan Costello.

Take a deep breath.

I know there’ve been a lot of changes around the network lately, some coming and going. The schedule and casts look very different than they did a year ago.

On that note, the last episode of Adventurous’ Lost Maid of Anactoria playthrough goes live tomorrow.

But don’t fret! We’re hard at work scheduling the next recording of Young and Adventurous. If you have any feedback based on how the last seven episodes went, let us know. We’re happy to see what we can incorporate into future Adventurous content.

Speaking of content, here’s a recap of the Know Direction Network content that came from last week:

Ryan Costello

What started as one gamer wanting to talk about his love of a game grew into a podcast network. Ryan founded what would become the Know Direction Podcast network with Jason "Jay" Dubsky, his friend and fellow 3.5 enthusiast. They and their game group moved on to Pathfinder, and the Know Direction podcast network was born. Now married and a father, Ryan continues to serve the network as the director of logistics and co-host of Upshift podcast, dedicated to the Essence20 RPG system he writes for and helped design. You can find out more about Ryan and the history of the network in this episode of Presenting: http://knowdirectionpodcast.com/2021/01/presenting-ryan-costello/
