Well that was annoying. My GM-ing notebook’s version of Syrinscape decided to go un-blessed just before the first game of a new campaign coinciding with an (admittedly rare) outage of the Syrinscape server. Cue hasty re-jigging of the room’s audio setup before the players arrived, followed by some clumsy switching between PCs mid-game to run music on the desktop in the corner and the rest of the game from the notebook. Not the smoothest game session I’ve run.
I know it’s not the end of the world, and I know it was just an unlucky combination of events. It’s just very frustrating when a subscription service you’ve been with for ages decides to not be available at exactly the time you need it. So let me vent, OK?
Grrrrrrrrrrr!
Thank-you.
(In case anyone’s not getting the tone of the above… it’s mostly tongue in cheek. But there’s a niggling core of “Well Syrinscape let me down this time, maybe I should look into alternatives as a backup plan in case it does it again.”)
