Origin story and early planning

The podcast, 'Friend and Faux Adventure Co.' was born out of the host's desire to start an actual play podcast based on the 'Borderlands' video game system. Early on, the host reached out to potential players including Phil, who had never played the game before, Kimmy, who was initially undecided, Matt, who had some experience with the game, and Kyle, who had played the third installment of the 'Borderlands' game. The host also started the board game community show as a way to practice talking to people and learn audio editing.
