Aqueles que acompanham o blog e nossos podcasts devem ter notado que fazemos algumas brincadeiras (ou confusões?) com a numeração dos episódios.

O piloto recebeu a numeração #00, depois tivemos mais dois episódios numerados como #01 e #1.5, o primeiro com a cobertura do EIRPG e o último com a participação da Matilha e dividido em duas partes.

Em seguida, tivemos o primeiro temático com a RPGArautos e o Camarilla, batizado de #02, e finalmente saltamos para o episódio #04, falando da tradução da nova edição de D&D.

Um total de cinco episódios. Para acertar a numeração, decidimos criar outra brincadeira: o Caça-D3Cast #03.

Num exercício de edição de som, pegamos todo o material extra que tínhamos das gravações anteriores (e da próxima) e criamos CINCO podcasts diferentes, que foram escondidos em cinco blogs da comunidade virtual de RPG brasileira (um está aqui mesmo no D3System).

O primeiro leitor que encontrar os cinco D3Casts e publicar um comentário aqui no D3System, ou enviar um e-mail para contato@d3system.com.br, dizendo onde eles estão vai receber os três básicos de D&D 4ª Edição em inglês e estará automaticamente convidado a participar do próximo D3Cast.

Quem não quiser revelar onde os episódios estão escondidos pode comentar do que cada um deles trata nos comentários e até mesmo dar algumas dicas da localização. Claro que os “hospedeiros” dos podcasts não participam da promoção.

Assim, com o episódio #03 dividido em cinco partes, teremos um total de seis gravações publicadas e o próximo D3Cast será o número #07… é, acho que o ajuste não deu muito certo.

Boa caçada.
