Every week, Now You Know recaps the Know Direction content of the past week, previews the Know Direction content of the week to come, as the director of operations, Ryan Costello, shares his thoughts on the state of the network.
No editorial today as it’s Victoria Day, one of those holidays where the monarchy tries to bride the citizenry of the commonwealth into celebrating them by giving them a day off. However, I do still want to give the hardworking staff of the Know Direction network their due for all of the great content put out last week and coming up this week.
Recap of May 15th to May 19th
What happened last week on knowdirectionpodcast.com and twitch.tv/knowdirection?

Intrepid Heroes 107 – Battle for Jatembe Park
As someone who doesn’t play Starfinder , I love how Intrepid Heroes teaches me details about the setting. For example, I’d never heard of Jatembe Park. I know Old Mage Jatembe from Pathfinder, of course, but I didn’t know lush greenery surrounds Absalom Station. Bonus, our own Alex Augunas worked on Jatembe Park lore.

Know Direction 289: Firebrands Review
I believe I went on record saying that Firebrands is the PF2 release I’m most excited about this year. That still holds true, even with the Pathfinder 2e Remaster news. I’m intrigued by Remaster. I’m excited for Firebrands.

Digital Divination 083 – Talking Mechs
What I liked about this episode is that John clearly picked this topic because he’s prepping to GM To Defy the Dragon and turned asking Jason for advice on running mechs into network content. I couldn’t be happier.
