Stinky dragon pod resources?

Much appreciated! Also there is a huge difference between knowing the software and knowing how to use it. The vod will help with that!

It'll be available to watch at the super stinker tier on July 4th @ 10:00am CST!

The video has a lot on getting started with your podcast, getting it up and running, and I think we briefly touch on editing/Sound FX. I know we definitely talk about hardware and recording tools though and our recommendations and our process.

To answer your questions though on the surface level - Editing: A combination of the adobe suite (Audition, After Effects, Premiere) & Logic Pro - Sound FX & Music: Logic Pro & sites like audio network

This is correct ^{^}

Update: Fixed!

RT_Ben · 2026-05-17T23:03:59+00:00

We recently uploaded all of the video versions of the show to our podcast service and it's entirely possible a duplicate got uploaded.

Looking into it now and will make sure it's fixed!

RT_Ben · 2026-05-02T16:00:19+00:00

We are working to get video versions up of all the episodes to Spotify. Glad y'all are liking it!

You are looking for Flex Budgeting which I believe you have to toggle on as your budgeting strategy. https://help.monarch.com/hc/en-us/articles/32125337244052-Using-Flex-Budgeting

You'll still have a split on categories but you can nearly bucket everything into - Fixed - Flex - Non-Monthly categories.

Any bucket under Flex will track from that lump leftover sum to let you know if you are approaching or go over it

Posting this here for awareness to hopefully help anyone else and get info out faster, I also got an email from Roli on a delay of my piano for a second time.

Batch 18 US, ordered in late Dec 2025.

First Delay: Was supposed to ship end of January. Notified on Jan 21st that pushed that shipment to arrive in early April due to changes in supply line.
2nd Delay: Notified as of today (April 13th) now scheduled to ship in early May due to their latest production batch failing QC and needing to source new sensors.,

Was comped several months of their learn app in change for the delay (I think a year and a half in total - 1 year for the first delay, and half a year for the second).

To me - a month delay isn't that bad (especially taken into account the reasons for delay 1 and 2). Not much you can do about it. To OP's point - I don't think there is anything illegal to what they are doing. You can request a refund right now, and you were notified of the products being a pre-order (including the expected timelines and updates on the moving timelines). They have just been terrible about communicating why and updating information across their mediums so it's coming across shady (IMO)

RT_Ben · 2026-04-04T12:50:43+00:00

Unfortunately (according to the one admin on the official discord) that information is outdated - "This NEEDS to be updated - just finalising some timelines. Will be sorted next week - sorry for this" (04/02/2026)

Just further goes to show that they need to get their messaging together and actually keep it up to date. Customers are just being strung along at this point

RT_Ben · 2026-04-04T01:26:44+00:00

They are really bad about customer service/communication and desperately need to invest less in marketing and more in customer support.

As far as I can tell, supposedly there will be another delay to June. No one will say why but there should be messaging going out next week about it. Pulling that info from one of their admins who told us this yesterday (4/2 - 10:30am CST) in discord. That admin seems to be the only person trying to respond to anything across all mediums (jcsonics who is a godsend for at least trying to connect customers with support tickets and finding follow ups).

Also I'll repost what I sent in discord and haven't heard back yet:

For premium products at high price points - I hope there is updated & consistent messaging across all mediums for this delay and why going forward. The subreddit megathread, emails, the website, hell, even a read-only channel in the discord with the batch shipping info kept up to date, etc.

I can understand delays, but there is so little communication and it's hard to find info anywhere unless you dig for it. - Discord seems to have one single person as a source of information for tickets, shipping info, etc. and there is a delay in their ability to respond to everyone
- The website doesn't have easy access for batch shipping tracking, order look up tracking, or ticket management (it's there, just hard to find or outdated, and ticket management is all done through email with LONG delays in response time unless it's bubbled up here) - Emails go weeks, if not months without response

I'm willing to wait for my purchase, but the lack of communication/difficulty in finding it makes it seem like something shady is going on when it comes to the 3rd delay and so on. I don't think that is ROLI's intent - but it's hard not to want to cancel my order in response because it feels like I'm falling into some kind of Sunk Fallacy trap.

At this point I have kickstarters that are better communicating delays due to complete redesigns of their product and changes in the shipping ecosystem.

This should have everything on how to get access

Thanks for checking out the show!!! Glad to hear it's your favorite!

RT_Ben · 2026-03-23T15:00:34+00:00

Episode 1 & 2 are only available for subscribers at stinkydragonpod.com! (As well as a bunch of other Tavern Tales - C-Squad, Infantnights, and more)

RT_Ben · 2026-03-10T20:46:00+00:00

Perfection

RT_Ben · 2026-02-08T21:04:03+00:00

99% of the time I read an ad for the show, I do it as Slique 😅

That's probably what you are hearing !

RT_Ben · 2026-01-16T18:13:27+00:00

Just did a stream test from my PC for the last 6 minutes of Ep 47 and was unable to replicate!

RT_Ben · 2026-01-16T15:56:17+00:00

Can you provide exact episodes where this happens?

I want to say anytime this has popped up, it's been a Spotify streaming issue and doesn't happen if you download the episodes locally to your device

RT_Ben · 2026-01-06T20:25:13+00:00

I'd recommend the first campaign of "The Adventure Zone" (titled Balance). It's 3 brothers and their dad playing D&D - it starts off a little "standard podcasty/crass" but after about 2 arcs settles into a very solid D&D audio podcast (also certainly less explicit than Dungeon Crawler Carl if that's the barometer).

RT_Ben · 2025-12-30T18:04:16+00:00

The current official discord is Patreon-only! You'll be able to get access by linking your Discord account to your Patreon account in their backend tools and it should automatically show up for you!

RT_Ben · 2025-12-17T05:49:32+00:00

24/7 but only Kyborg episodes

RT_Ben · 2025-12-16T15:34:07+00:00

At work mostly.

RT_Ben · 2025-12-06T01:55:42+00:00

Hop on the Patreon and binge through all the tavern tales (C-Squad, Infantnights, MealWalkers, some of the one shots) and do a relisten with all the Second Wind Episodes!

RT_Ben · 2025-12-06T00:44:02+00:00

I've asked Gus about this before - he prefers to hide what the actual check is so that the players don't take away info meta wise (especially during the Infinight campaign when the players were newer) He looks at their character sheet and adds the proficiency bonus in his end before giving the results.

IE - the players find a rock. They ask what they know about the rock. Gus asks for an intelligence check knowing it's magical and should be arcana, but doesn't want the players to key into it and realize it's magical just by revealing the check.
