Rafael 47 reveals the February 2025 update, including exclusive supporter content and a new podcast.
Rafael 47 opens the February 2025 informational bulletin for RPG Next, a Brazilian RPG content network. He outlines the bulletin's topics, including updates on podcasts, lives, critical letters, subscriptions, and rewards. Rafael explains the project's financial model, noting that rising server costs and falling donations have necessitated a shift: content beyond three monthly episodes will be exclusive to supporters on Apoia-se. He details the costs, such as doubling server storage to 80 GB and paying editors, emphasizing the need for community support via donations of 5 reais monthly. The bulletin reviews podcasts released in January, including Bob the Barbarian (a D&D 2024 character sheet review), Narrated Tales like Atenalp's creation, and exclusive supporter episodes like Sheila's Aladdin review. Rafael describes the collaborative production process for Narrated Tales, using Trello for workflow management involving writers, reviewers, narrators, and editors. He announces the integration of the comedy podcast Neuronautas into RPG Next, after it struggled independently for years. The bulletin covers ongoing live streams for Tarrasque na Bota campaigns like Curse of Strahd and Valhalla Riders, plus rental master services on YouTube. Rafael discusses rewards for supporters, including raffles for spots on the Forge podcast, NPC naming rights, and consultancy sessions. He thanks donors and new supporters, listing names and explaining platform differences between Apoia-se and YouTube. The episode ends with contact information and a call for community engagement.
