First Escapist Community Night in October?

[Nick Calandra]

Hey folks,

Posting this here so it's not overlooked in announcements. I'll move it over there once this gains some traction, but I've been promising that we'd do something with the Community for quite awhile now and just haven't gotten around to it due to how busy we've been.

So before we schedule something, I wanted to get your feedback on what you'd like to see from a Community Night?

In October we're definitely gonna do some horror game nights, but I also wanted to do something a bit more interactive with the community like doing a Jackbox, or live Q&A with the new staff here, etc. Are those things you'd tune into?

I'm open to ideas and feedback!

Q&A is fun but I am not sure what a jackbox even is haha.

Jackbox Party Pack? https://www.jackboxgames.com/party-pack/

Pretty much games that we can host and anyone in the audience can join in and play with us straight from their phones.

Oh huh, first time I hear of this existing haha. It reminds me of this one old website that had a simulated board game, lemme see if I can find it.

Yea it does, but a lot of them have audience voting mechanics, etc. Like quiplash.

Here's a suggestion that admittedly, I think will be unlikely: A giant Zoom meeting combined with synctube = Online karaoke!

Haha, I don't think I could convince the team (or myself) to get online and do karaoke

Everyone here has such diverse tastes, I just don't know what we could all do that would appeal to all of us.

I heard Jackbox! Neat but who's streaming?

Though I do agree with Specter though since its hard to tell where's the middle ground between everyone.

It'd be The Escapist team, so myself, Jack Packard, the 3MR folks, I'll attempt to rangle in Yahtzee and Bob, etc.

We stream every day now except Saturdays!
