DDOCast Producer’s Letter Dec 2022
To the DDOCast fans and listeners and the greater DDO community,
A little over 9 years and nearly 400 shows ago I took over as the host and producer of DDOCast. I was suddenly the shepherd of a DDO podcast almost as long lived as the game itself and with 300 episodes of history behind it. Today that journey is ending.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the DDO community in this way. I’ve met some great friends and had some awesome (and at times quite heated) conversations about this game we all play and share a love for. It is humbling to even consider the number of hours people have spent listening to my thoughts and ideas about DDO and drone on reading release notes. We have had a lot of fun together over the past decade.
Now that time is ending for me. Life is so different now and it becomes increasingly apparent that it is time for me to let go of DDOCast. It is not an easy thing to release. Over a decade ago I began making segments for the podcast and it has been a part of my life ever since. It is even harder so soon after the people of DDO and DDOCast helped me (and many of us) weather a pandemic.
What does this mean for DDOCast? I don’t know. I have been unable to identify the next host and producer of the show so, for now, the podcast will be going dark. Cyberears is also shutting down at the end of 2022 so the podcast will not have hosting for the time being. The show will still be available at ddocast.com in both video and audio form and the videos will continue to be available at twitch.tv/ddocast and on youtube. You will probably still see me streaming and posting videos of myself and my friends playing DDO and D&D but for now there will not be new episodes of the podcast. If you think you might be, or know, the next DDOCast host and producer, reach out to me! I would love to find someone to pass this on to.
To all those who contributed and helped me make this podcast what it was, thank you. There have been many and your help has been greatly appreciated. To the Devs, it was amongst the highest of honors to have you on the show. Few players get to have the kind of access to you that I have enjoyed the last several years. Your love and knowledge of the game and its players was always fun to interact with – and you are all pretty swell people to hang out with too. And to the listeners: this show was always for you but you are the reason why it was fun to produce.
So until next time. May all your attack rolls be crits and your chests be level appropriate. Have fun and don’t forget to gather for buffs.
Thanks for listening.

Hey Kobold Kids!
We’re going for an early show this Saturday, simply because we’re heading out to the H.P. Lovecraft Show at the Seattle Art Museum that same afternoon. Yes, its horrid that we’d choose some horror fun over DDOcast, but it is the month of Halloween and we aim to celebrate!

- Date: Saturday, October 8th
- Time: 2:00 PM EST (11:00 AM PST / GMT -4) – A whole hour early

Interview with MajMalphunktion
We also have a special surprise for everyone: we were able to snag an interview with MajMalphunktion! Its a short and casual profile interview with our favorite forum-crusing QAer. Tune in as we air this pre-recorded chat about QAing with Turbine and DDO.
And of course, we’ll talk the latest news in DDO, maybe get some crunchy things going on!
Join us Live for DDOcast 236 this Saturday!!

DDOcast on G+
DDOcast does have a G+ account, but that could all change in a moment’s notice! Still, you can find it here: http://profiles.google.com/ddocast
Got caught by the Google+ name police: To use Google+ features (including Picasa) you have to be an individual not group nor multiple persons. You also have to use a real name if you get caught violating naming policies! And Google will ask for photo ID validation. (You can read more on Google+ Naming Policies here.)
Why: apparently Google says their naming policy cuts down on spam and phishing via social networks. So we thought it was worth the effort to work and keep a G+ account for DDOcast.
What does it mean for DDOcast: we’ll have to operate this G+ account under a single name. We decided to do this under Sig’s name. He does have another personal account though and really the only way you’ll tell the difference is by the profile icon.
How we will use G+: we’ll still post DDO news items and DDOcast announcements! so don’t worry about that! We’ll do that for as long as we can! We’re hoping that Google+ will have a way for organizations to have G+ accounts, but that also may mean that we’ll have to provide proof of “Doing Business As”.
The Caveat: Should G+ change its policies to say “no, you can only have one G+ account” then this will explain why we aren’t posting here! You can find our Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/DDOcast and our Twitter Feed here: http://twitter.com/#!/ddocast And of course our web site at http://www.ddocast.com
Here are our personal G+ accounts, though we can’t promise talk about DDO if you follow us! +Anne Trent and +Sigfried Trent
