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.
I sat down to write the latest Now You Know and realized I once again forgot to update the banner. I panicked, grabbed the nearest die and nerdy thing and made this Discord banner. I did not intend for the 2024 NYK banner to be another Essence20 reference, and, unlike last year’s Optimus Prime banner which had a dragon on his shoulder that no one noticed, this one’s just Discord with a d24.
I’ll try to remember to update it with Pathfinder-centric imagery for next week. Having Discord as the banner for just one week is hilariously appropriate, honestly, but not network appropriate.
Speaking of the Know Direction Network, here is the content we released last week:
