The Toast Peddlers

If you could, get an external microphone and place it an equal distance from everyone, thus making the audio less extreme. I happen to have an external mic that I would donate to this cause. It works good from a distance, which is what we want. We could possibly hang it above the table to keep it non-grounded, which eliminates a lot of bumping that vibrates along the table and disrupts the mic, so - for example - we wouldn't hear the dice rolls so much or the table moving around.

While we're add it, let's pad the room for noise reduction, get ourselves a nice little studio.

haha ya I'd love to have a real studio. but the external mic thing is definitely possible, I'll ask Dad

I'm obsessed because I'm really digging this; I'm just dissappointed that I can't hear everything. Getting a mic that's farther away from everyone would help a lot, picking up projected noises (voices) rather than static noises (dice).

HOW ABOUT UPLOADING VIDEOS??

I was considering video as well actually. I like audio for D&D because it lets you visualize the fantasy a little bit more. but watching dice roll and players acting out their characters is equally exciting.

I will be Num BurCruncher

I've got the ultimate idea.

How about I work with someone who's making a campaign, and build a world for them on maptools? What do you think, Nick? Want to set up your campaign or another campaign online?

That would be really cool if you really want to do it. I'd be glad to.

Would you want to send me a rough map? Or a list of stuff you have in your world?

Sure I'll get on that

Specifics are nice too - for example, if you have something hidden, Maptools has a "hidden" layer and can display the required spot/search check to the DM. You can get specific on anything you feel is important.

The 3rd chapter in the epic story of the Toast Peddlers was a success! Also it was recorded! Listen as the PCs come to the bard town of Fringwhich and hilarity ensues! I should have it up here later tonight, so stay-tuned; I don't think you'll want to miss this series of episodes.
