Settle in, ‘Scapers. Episode 2 is here, and this time we’re joined by Mod Elena! Last week was Episode 1 with Mod Kieren, if you enjoyed that then you'll love this one. Thoughtful stories, a few spicy insights, and plenty to listen to while you grind, commute, or get your dinner ready.

Mod Elena has been at the bow of Sailing development, and the entire new skill process from the very start. She has played a monumental role in bringing the skill to life, and there’s a trove of wealth to be gained from listening to today’s episode!

A few tasty bits to listen out for:

• From dock to launch: Elena talks through the reality of getting a brand-new skill out the door, from internal playtests to those first hotfix priorities.
• Sailing in plain English: What clicked during development, what surprised the team, and how early feedback shaped day-one choices.
• Design trade-offs: Where the team pushed for clarity, where they chased depth, and how they think about adding more over time.
• Player-first planning: How opinion surveys and follow-up polls will help guide the next waves of Sailing content.
• Quick tips for day one: Simple prep advice every account type can use to get going.

This episode with Mod Elena was recorded on October 7th, 2025.

A festival mainstage regular and a long-time OSRS player, we have the absolute pleasure of announcing next week’s episode will be with the one and only, Alan Walker! We’ll dig into game-inspired music moments, community, and what he loves about Gielinor. Mark Sunday, November 23 on your calendar. We hope you enjoy the episode and you can look forward to Episode 3 with Alan Walker on November 23rd, followed by episodes with SoloMission, Mod North, Mod Rice, Guzu, B0aty, Torvesta & Skill Specs, and Mod Ash!

Thank you for tuning in and for taking the time to share your thoughts. Hearing from you keeps us honest and keeps the podcast moving in the right direction. We’re grateful for every view, sub, rating, and comment - we’re so privileged to be able to host these for you, and we want to make sure we can keep doing it! Your support is what lets us make more of these and get even better at them. If you want to help us make this to grow, keep the feedback coming and spread the word!

We saw your feedback on Episode 1’s setup. Two quick notes:

• Seating and framing: Lots of rightly pointed out comments regarding the positioning of the guest, and genuine concern for the comfort of their neck! It’s not actually as uncomfortable as it looks in the video recording, but in later episodes we did adjust the seating slightly and we'll keep this heavily in mind for Season 2.
• Timestamps: Timestamps will be added alongside recordings shortly after they go live! You should have noticed them appear on Kieren’s episode and we’ll continue adding them to future episodes so you can jump straight to the topics you care most about, though we do think you should listen to it all!

We've really tried to make something that you can enjoy listening to whether you're playing OSRS, on the commute, school run, or wherever else. We do need your help, however. Please give them a watch and a listen and tell us what you think. We intend to use the feedback we gather from the first season to shape what the future of the podcast could look like.
