Update 10/31 - Ogre Poppenang invades Wider WoD Actual-Play Sphere!

Who's here for a patreon update, raise your hands?
Who's here to hear the chronicle of Lambert Fischer, inventor of the Pencilogramme?
Alright glad we sorted that out.

HAPPY HALL OF WEEN ALL, Earndil here (and Alfabusa adding a detail or two)
with another bupdate for you, in addition to a generalized roundup of things in the wake of the TWO HOUR LONG FUCKING AUDIODRAMA GOD DAMN IT-

We want to start by addressing the video linked up above.
Cool WoD community figure what we adore, Jersh (Shaun in PodByNight's Stitch of Fate, if you're familiar), invited a few of us to partake in a Vampire: The Masquerade one-shot this Hallowen!
The evil ogroids from our crew joining in are:

• SpeakerD - Host of Norfolk Wizard Game, Voice of Big-D
  Playing a Cappadocian Necromancer by the name of Ulysses who hauls around the decapitated head of a once-famous martial artist/movie star.

• ThunderPsyker - Voice of Kitten
  Playing Ralphonzo, who is kind of sort of Thunder's interpretation of the Malkavian from VTM: Bloodlines 1 from when he was streaming the game? Really nice guy.

• Alfabusa - bastard creature
  Playing a wretched Salubri Dialberist YouTuber who is obsessed with AI slop but cannot even use the technology neccesary to produce content anymore.

Also joining us is someone going by PeachyPixel8!
First time we talked, super nice guy, he played a Nosferatu named Gooner, a Master of Comedy Disguises and all-around cutie.

As you can figure, this game is a disaster.
If you dare, tread beyond and watch the rise and fall of the most pathetic Coterie in V:TM Actualplay History.

....

Alright, plug over!
Let's talk 2 HOUR AUDIOLOG AGAIN

Hi yes, that Audiolog was a serious undertaking and we're extremely glad to be past it, but what we're even more glad for, is the extremely positive response to the audiodrama!

We took a risk making it as long as we did, there was a great deal of important stuff to discuss, and it definitely warranted the longer treatment...
But fuck me sideways it was an ordeal!

How did you all like Chapter 5.2?
Did you like the Philippines?
Did you like Fatigue, young or old or Kronik?
If you loved the Fatigues, I have great news for you:
They're dead and never coming back!
Allegedly!

But seriously, thoughts below if you choose, we love to see them, and they help us immensely. We're going to be trying like hell to avoid such a long delay again, but knowing us, we'll both disappoint in that goal and hopefully exceed expectations on delivery, as has been relayed to us by you all numerous times.

Now enough auto-fellation, I am pleased to report that work is already firmly underway on Chapter 5.3, Let's Go To O'Tolleys, and I am presently spearheading the preliminary audio composition.

The first draft of which should be complete by the time this update goes out, but don't get excited yet, this draft lacks a lot of recorded audio, with either placeholders or estimates of space abounding.

Alfa please post a pic of delicious food from the episode below.

WIP of the O'Tolleys Menu

Yeah terrific stuff.

Work on Chapter 6 proper continues at pace, our artists, storyboarders, Karl and other integral core people are hard at work making the necessary components, and it's all looking very good so far.

Can't report on much there yet, as we will be chipping away at it while we work on 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5 before its eventual release!

In other news, in celebration of Bloodlines 2 actually releasing,
if you haven't watched Kindred: The Embraced yet, please do, it's a remarkably good tv show that focuses on Vampire: The Masquerade.
For those of us (like me) who are very definitively not enmeshed in the lore and particulars of the World of Darkness, and can stand some bending of the more definitive parts of WoD canon, it's a surprisingly interesting little run of episodes, that was tragically cut short by the death of one of the lead actors.
Give it a whirl, don't let WoD-heads dissuade you with any griping about it not being a good V:tM show, come to your own conclusions about how shit and trite you may find it to be, it certainly can be.

And as always folks, I want to reiterate, thank you for your support in these times that prove ever more trying for all of us, we certainly feel things right alongside you, and we know that whatever support you dare to provide is an express decision by you to keep us going.
We endeavor to not disappoint.

Until next time, we hope you have a poppeng rest of your day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
