Honestly, I've always come out against recordings, as people will make
less of an effort to get out to the meeting if they can just watch it
later. The energy to keep the group going comes from people actually
showing up. I know I'd be a lot less interested in making sure things
go off without a significant hitch if it was just a couple of us and a
video recorder.
Doing an entirely seperate podcast wouldn't be such a bad thing, but I
don't really want us pushing the main session out that way.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
