How I work

I know I just updated not long ago, but I want to tell you about how I think about the locations and design them. Today I finished Tavramere Tower, which is in the Ba-Adenu Forest. The tower is a bent, structure poking out over the tree line. It would have been easy to simply create a soundscape for just the interior with no regard for the forest, but in my opinion, and ancient tower would slowly decay, and so sounds from the forest would be heard as the party explores it.
I took the audio from the Ba-Adenu Forest and imported into the tower session. Then I put a ton of reverb on it as well as adjusted the EQ so it sounds that you are hearing it through huge walls with small holes in them. I lowered the volume as well. Then I layered in the audio of the interior of the tower.
So why do all this? Well, now GM's can use the forest track and then transition in the tower track and keep the feel of both locations. It adds that level of realism to the locations.
Anyway, I though you'd be interested in how I approach my work. Have a great weekend!

Hello all!
Looks like most of you have filled out your Backerkit surveys. I'll be locking them down at the end of the month and sending out the all the add-on track packs except the Strange pack, which will be after the Numenera Collection is done. If you have not filled out you survey, please do so.
Thank you for backing,
Wes

Hey Everyone,
I submitted the survey to Backerkit 5 days ago and they have not gotten back to me. I just sent them an email to find out whats up. Hopefully we will get it sorted by Tuesday. I will update you as soon as I have more information. Sorry for the delay,
As for the collection, things are going well. I've finished almost all of the Numenera core book tracks. After next week I'll move on to the guide book. If you ever want to see my progress, check the google spread sheet. I update it as I finish tracks.

Thanks again!

Hello!
Kickstarter transferred the money today so I'll be setting up the Backerkit and sending out surveys soon. I'll send out another update when they are on there way. I'll lock down the surveys at the end of May and send out the add-on packs from past Kickstarters then.
Thank you everyone!
Wes
