Update 02-08 - UNREMITTING HYPE
Added 2025-02-07 23:42:49 +0000 UTCHello and Good Evening or Morning or whenever Alfa gets this to Patreon, everyone.
It's me Earndil again with a- IT'S A WEEK AWAY. WE'RE RELEASING THE NEXT EPISODE COME HELL OR HIGH WATER BY NEXT WEEK, 2/14.
ARE YOU READY?
CAN!
YOU!
DIG IT!?
That's right folks, after almost a year of talking about how we're working hard on the next episode (We do that a lot you know, it's a lot of hard work) we're FINALLY able to get it out.
We are spending the next few weeks all-hands-on-deck preparing and quality checking the episode. That's the main reason we've not had any updates really over the past month besides the post-christmas thank-yous, and we're finally getting this ready.
Please, do us all a huge favor when it comes out, and share it around as best you can to whoever cares, or might be interested.
We don't e-beg often (by my reckoning we make a concerted effort of it only once every two years or so) but this has been a huge undertaking, and we are really hoping the response reflects just how much we've put into it.
As indicated, we're hard at work on this, and this alone pretty much, so we're focused on this almost exclusively (save for me doing odd-jobs about the company for video comp for future works, get excited for that I suppose), so don't expect many more updates until then!
You will know more next week, so please... keep your eyes and ears out on socials.
Until then, have a poppeng rest of your day!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Week!!!!!!!!!!!
-Earndil
Until next time, have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Amanda is the ghoul. And that Matilde is a BG ragabash homid born. Curious to see if I'm right.

2025-03-27 00:19:13 +0000 UTCIv been rewatching chapter 5 and noticed at least 3 times characters take great combat poses for a walpaper, but becouse of it being in video it would be only PC screeen resolution. So i wanted to ask will you ever make a from combat part of 5 chapter but for pfone resolution ?

2025-03-18 10:49:53 +0000 UTCAfter seeing the episode a few times, I'm changing my mind on who it was. I went in kinda certain, but I think Git told us exactly who the Ghoul is, and they've been using the Elixir of Domination Big D says Kevin mentioned.

2025-02-14 17:48:01 +0000 UTCI mean Git is a very simple background character, in my opinion the best candidate to use as a mole, he stands around and listens, goes home > day job, gets mind probed by his master then > back to be a mole

2025-02-14 08:53:30 +0000 UTCShe called the vampire countess only after he was out of earshot, so he might not be in on the scheme. But, it could also simply be that he's not high enough ranking to be worth informing, if he's just a ghoul

2025-02-08 23:13:17 +0000 UTCI am still going to shitpost my theory that Occam is a hidden Sidereal Exalt, specifically the exaltation of Chejop Kejak. It probably isn't true. But I will still stand by it, because I'm a huge Exalted 2E fan.
Benjamin Pointer
2025-02-08 22:50:53 +0000 UTCI had some additional rambling about why I didn't think it was the others. I don't see it as D, Marckus, Kitten, Remold, Brok, Git, Spit, or Harry. Most of that lot are visibly accounted for or consistently in the presence of others -- And of them, Spit's the only possible one, and I am pretty positive /his/ secret is being a Garou. I don't see it as being Grimal -- While she was definitely suspicious, what with her wide-eyed and terrified looks, I chalk a lot of that up to general mental instability, self-consciousness, and legitimate terror at a possible vampiric agent in the chapter house. It's suspicious, yes, but explainable. I don't see it as Elise -- While she definitely had a bit of curious placements, they all made sense. I posit that her placement outside the security room area was because she went down to Matilda to allow Grimal to hide out in the security room. Matilda's shown to having been leaving the security room, in the map. Matilda would have been bribed with Giles' cigarettes, and Grimal would hide in the security room because it's /literally/ a super-secure room. If Grimal's afraid, she'd be safe there. It'd also be quiet and away from everyone else, and she could get herself in order. Elise would just be being a good friend, here. But /those/ three are accounted for. Dr. Waters was in her office doing cocaine. I believe you can /see/ the cocaine on her after she went to her office, she /definitely/ has the pep in her step from an upper, and.. Really, I think she's just on the up-and-up of being a drugged-out hyperknowledgable individual. This leaves Amanda unattended for a time, and she /could/ possibly be the ghoul.. But I don't really feel that one. Her blathering "baba yaga" after having been shocked shitless is a red herring, to my thinking, to grab lorewhores like myself and make us /think/ she's it, because we're super-confident in our lorewhoreyness. But it just doesn't hold up as well as the possibility of Fatigue, to my thinking.
Benjamin Pointer
2025-02-08 22:48:02 +0000 UTCYOUTUBE CAN SUCK MY SALTY BALLS, THEN. Okay. So, recreating from memory -- I think the ghoul was Lord Fatigue. There's several things pointing toward this, and what I recall included the exchange that was had in the pub. The way he spoke to Giles regarding where Simon went off to, it felt off when I watched it initially.. And in retrospect from the Disciplines audiolog, this feels like a very subtle expression of the second- or third- level Dominate power. Dominate being one of the Tremere's signature Disciplines, and the ghoul being in the thrall /of/ a Tremere.. It'd fit. There's also the fact that Fatigue was in the Break Room, when the map was displayed. It's an odd choice; His getting up and leaving the conversation when he did implied that he /knew/ where Simon was.. .. And the break room wasn't it. He's also an old man, and the break room is on the third floor. It's highly unlikely that he went downstairs and then /back up/ to the third floor, let alone in that span of time. Fatigue is also one of the few with access to the Archives. He's also been there a truly lengthy span of time, and it would make sense to target him as a potential ghoul -- People clearly defer to him. I want to say there was more to the theory, but those are the strongest initial points I can recall. Simon is almost certainly an Ahroun, and if I had to guess is either a Fianna or Bone Gnawer. At first glance, I'd think he's a Ragabash, but the presence of the full moon -- And the fact that I seem to recall a Garou's rage waxes heavy when in the moon of their auspice -- lends toward Ahroun in context. Acting under this thought, Simon /absolutely/ ripped Fatigue apart. What triggered it? Not sure, but it's immaterial -- There's a /lot/ of reasons why a Garou would rend a Wyrm-tainted creature to ribbons. If this is true, Simon also 100% knows he's Garou, and it's not his First Change; His uniform is definitely under the Rite of Talisman Dedication. .. I think that's it. Enough for me to hopefully claim internet points if I got it right. :D

Unless OP wants to confirm that they did /not/ delete my comment on YouTube, in which case I absolutely will seize my internet points and recreate the whole damn theory. >.> EDIT: For clarity's sake, my YouTube handle is "Sye Cole", and I /did/ tag SpeakerD on BlueSky shortly after I had posted it.
Benjamin Pointer
2025-02-08 22:21:45 +0000 UTCI don't have a copy of it written down just this moment, and out of respect to our Ogrey Overlords and the possibility (absolutely not confirmed) that they deleted the post because I was right, I'm gonna hold off on it until I see the episode. Admittedly, sad about losing possible Internet Points, but c'est la vie. Even if I'm wrong, I'll probably reply to this comment thread with my original assessment.

2025-02-08 21:16:21 +0000 UTCi'll be honest i dont actually have EXACT answers but... i have a few names with a few roles attached to them. i have guesses on whos the ghoul, or ghouls and whos the werewolf or werewolves and a few different ideas on the "Why" of things from every situation... but imma need the actual episode to confirm my theories.
boomerpro87
2025-02-08 21:05:04 +0000 UTCI think it's Simon Spires, who is secretly a werewolf
Will Nelson
2025-02-08 20:36:42 +0000 UTCI don't recall exactly but it was something along the lines that Horse in the audiolog predicted everything. That the "Patriarch in mastering Luna ends up hamstrung" is in relation to blacklaw being a ghoul to a Malkavian and getting got, basically lol. I sadly don't remember the nuances, but I'm convinced blacklaw is the ghoul.
Crimson
2025-02-08 20:12:04 +0000 UTCSince people are posting their guesses in the comments: It's definitely Occam. He's Irish, you can't trust the Irish. Therefore, Occam's razor, he did everything. ... ... ... ... ... ... (if he's actually one of the villains and this shitpost is proven right, I'm going to flip)
Kyle E Johnson
2025-02-08 18:06:13 +0000 UTCDo you have a copy? I'm intrigued
Kyle E Johnson
2025-02-08 17:54:56 +0000 UTCThis might genuinely be a fantastic idea. You've definitely got enough footage from all of your videos to clip some things and post them on social media to help build hype and draw eyes to the series in general. It might have been a waste of time before you finished 5 episodes, 8 audiologs, and the 4 or 5 shorts, but now there's GOTTA be some sufficiently-quotable & zany clips to put out on social media. The hard part is picking good ones, but making them is as simple as clipping video from what you've already got, isn't it? And, I may be wrong about this, but "bad" clips would just get passed over or forgotten, not harmful to you in the algorithm, so there's room to just throw a bunch at the wall, right? I think the guys from Something Witty Entertainment do this so their YouTube channel never goes too long without "content" in the eyes of the algorithm, because they're another one of those teams that puts in ungodly effort into writing and releases one or 2 big videos per year
Kyle E Johnson
2025-02-08 17:49:18 +0000 UTCIt is most likely grimuld I think. I really wish it wasnt, but I think it is her.
PunchingTucan
2025-02-08 17:45:23 +0000 UTCI’m still convinced it’s Elise and she is my PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLL
RedPhlannel
2025-02-08 16:57:13 +0000 UTCNope- they had the next story all worked out and everything, and even had other story arcs running in tandem with it (see also: Bro Trip 40k), so whoever this flamer is, he's incorrect.
Banammock
2025-02-08 16:36:01 +0000 UTCI’m really looking forward to more Occam. The delivery of his last line in Chapter 4 was magnificent!
Eve Mizgala
2025-02-08 14:15:24 +0000 UTCTo reach out as much as possible, maybe do a teaser? And post it on various social media, like bluesky, tiktok, youtube and others? Get the hype going for peeps without patreon?
Erik Franzén
2025-02-08 13:06:36 +0000 UTCI am all but 100% certain I know what is going on in the chapter house.. .. And my stupidly long theory posted to the Chapter 4 on Tuesday was either deleted by OP or deleted by YT. Either way, keeping it to myself and finally subscribing to the Patreon here. 😀 Looking forward to watching it.
Benjamin Pointer
2025-02-08 12:37:22 +0000 UTCI'm like... 68% sure that Gloria Waters is the Ghoul, and the last mini-episode reinforced that theory. I do believe that she is the one that knock-out Occam to then access his office inconspicuous. I do not believe however that she killed Fatigue. Like many others I share the idea that a werebeast is the one who teared him apart, with the most likely suspects being Simon (bit too obvious of a red herring) or Matilda Wild.

2025-02-08 12:19:08 +0000 UTCI have no fucking idea who the culprit is

Kyle E Johnson
2025-02-08 11:28:00 +0000 UTCI care not who the Ghoul is I simply wish to enjoy the wacky charatars and their hyjinks
Draco Meme
2025-02-08 10:46:41 +0000 UTCGrimal spent the time between when they split up and when the murder was discovered being interrogated/tortured by the Blacklaws. Eve if she's somehow the Ghoul, she's not the murderer. Have seen people theorise that Simon's spastic, hysterical actions seemed reminiscent of a Garou about to frenzy.

2025-02-08 10:22:27 +0000 UTCThe ghoul and the killer need not be the same person.
Mersharr
2025-02-08 09:47:29 +0000 UTCyeah well. He's even saying it deserved to get cancelled and that the WH40K setting is only good for horrid jokes
rowan williams
2025-02-08 09:44:53 +0000 UTCI understand the Ogre group was essentially told by GW directly to cease and desist like many another, so, don't see how that was unclear. Definitely no sign they have run out of ideas and they weren't in a corner, they were smack in the middle of a story arc.
Trevor Bond
2025-02-08 09:35:07 +0000 UTCIn grimal's defense she was planning to order beer before they got distracted by conversation, because they were only talking for about 15 minutes before the thing with Brock started, and is heavily implied she went home and drank with Elise. So, she's not a full vampire. But a vampire is only one of the things that could've killed fatigue
Kyle E Johnson
2025-02-08 09:26:40 +0000 UTCGrimal is already a weeb ghoul so she's immune to blood that hasn't been folded over 1000 times, and Harry's smile is literal sunlight so he's also immune. (That's definitely how it works and not cope at all pleasedontleteitherofthemdie)
Kyle E Johnson
2025-02-08 09:21:34 +0000 UTCOh yeah, it's all comming together.

Arch_The_Protogen
2025-02-08 09:17:20 +0000 UTCDon’t think it could be Harry. He was carrying the box, spent the whole time up until discovering Occam with Markus, actually helped point out that Occam had been out of contact for a while and should be checked on, and post-Occam he helped carry Occam away. He is all accounted for. Additionally, as discussed in 4.1 when they discussed the possibility of a full blown vampire killing Fatigue it can’t be Harry, because we saw him drinking beer in the pub. He’s clean. Grimal on the other hand…
LiamOfOrmonde
2025-02-08 09:12:47 +0000 UTCBlatantly false. When people are hurt & angry they will invent all kinds of false things to say just to try to hurt someone. No way in hell they "ran out of ideas". They've created 2 new entire series since then and the TTS story was cut off in the middle of a plot. Even if they "ran out of ideas", they were in the middle of executing a plan, and had plenty of material left to create episodes. It's just someone pissed off about something, who is trying to stir up angry reactions from others
Kyle E Johnson
2025-02-08 09:08:59 +0000 UTCM'yes, nice and VIGOUROUS. Where is the "Mommy come pick me up there is a murder and I have no clue what's going on." on the poll tho'?
S.P.D.C
2025-02-08 08:56:09 +0000 UTCI'm not gonna be on here for much longer. But I have something to ask a collective opinion on. Some new guy on the Discord Server calling himself, Arrowhead and he's spouting this out: "Emperor's TTS got cancelled because the creator was afraid of the new policies. However I believe that this is no true and it was cancelled because they have written themselves into a corner and ran out of ideas. Otherwise that decision was too hysterical" I don't know if he's either stoned or some crack pot. But I don't think he's trustworthy. What's the opinion from all on here? Cause all I'm seeing is this guy calling all the people who made TTS40K as either a bunch of P*****s, brainless or worse both. And I don't even see that as true or if he's worse than that
