Last GameJam saw Mods Ayiza and Sween sit down to talk to Mods Arcane and Kieren in a bit of a podcast format. You might be thinking, "who cares, spend your GameJam making something cool like the rest of the team did!", and we'd say "yeah, fair enough".
There are a ton of great OSRS-centered podcasts which have featured J-Mods and content creators, and we didn't set out to reinvent the wheel with this. We wanted to do something a bit different.
We're able to look back at a time before when the Old School team was much smaller, and you could get a feel for who the J-Mods were and what made them tick by tuning into the weekly livestreams hosted by Mod Archie in the studio. We've got fond memories of these times (and our hairlines), but naturally we do prefer having a much larger team able to work on many more projects, and a team that's empowered to work fully remotely.
That said, we set out to see if we could recreate any of this magic from yesteryear. So, with that in mind, today we're releasing the first episode with Mod Arcane, soon to be followed by the second episode with Mod Kieren. You'll notice that some of the discussion topics are quite dated (like being worried that we're leaking news of Araxxor), that's because these were recorded many months ago. A combination of having other priorities and being pretty pants meant that you're only seeing them now.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy them. And if you do, we'll record some more. Let us know (on X - formerly known as Twitter, Discord, Reddit, or however else you might chat to us) whether you'd be interested in seeing more, and who you'd like to see on future episodes!
