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.
For about a year, Know Direction released a podcast and an article on a daily basis. The world’s changed, the network’s changed with it, and we’re not as rigid about churning out as much content as we used to be. I’m happy as long as we have a podcast or article every day.
Which brings us to Fridays. Our regular Friday content has dwindled to the point that we have only one release scheduled: the monthly release of Know Direction: Beyond.
This is largely my fault. My original plan was to release an Essence20 article on Fridays, and new episodes of Upshift. While we haven’t seen the last of Upshift, my freelancing on Essence20 games doesn’t leave much room in my writing for another weekly blog. I have trouble keeping up with Behind The Screens.
Now that we’re past PaizoCon coverage, I think it’s time to meet with the KD directors and see what we can do to improve the network and fill this gap in our schedule. If there’s any Know Direction Network content you’d like to see, let us know.
Speaking of content, here’s a recap of the Know Direction Network content from last week:
