Tiki Tuesday Question Lounge for 4/15

Crossposted from my blog This is the place to ask questions about RO, or life in general. We answer these questions during the Tiki Tuesday live show at 3pm (on tuesdays) As this is the place to share Tiki culture I thought I’d expand the section to include artwork and other ephemera For this week’s album, this is an incredible collection of rare tracks that touches on the different types of music that you’d find playing at your tiki bar.

For the past month, Campitor and I have been doing a weekly (originally bi-monthly) Let’s Play on Renewal server. It’s been quite an opportunity to learn and I’m glad at least a few people are watching it. RO can be a bit lonely when you’re just starting out as a novice if you don’t know anyone, so playing with people watching the stream has been a lot of fun. Still getting stuff figured out as far as software, overlays and such that most LPers probably know quite a bit about but we’re getting caught up (slowly). We’ll be doing this … Continue reading The Let’s Play experiment

Mahalo folks to the slightly more personal blog I’ve set up, a place to post news for the game, personal experiences working as a CM and more off topic stuff. Going to be testing out some things to see what I am able to do with this shiny new blog, but otherwise pull up a chair and someone will be by to take your cocktail orders soon.         As a sort of official soundtrack for the blog, imagine the lounge-y tunes you’d hear in a darkened Polynesian-themed bar around the 1960s. The smell of Crab Rangoon and … Continue reading Oda’s Outpost: Welcome!
