Coming up in September on NRB Patreon!

Hello NeRBs! 

Thought I’d drop in to let you know what you’ve got coming up content-wise during the next month on Patreon: 

The poll to decide which game is played in the Patreon-Exclusive Board Game Club is live now, so make sure you exercise your Patreon rights and vote for what you want to see played. We’ll shoot asap after the vote has concluded and get that over to you early September. 

We’ll also have a new episode of Unboxed winging its way to you this month where we’ll be discussing Stalin’s sophomore stroke of genius: Communopoly 2. (Disclaimer: I have not been forced to praise our glorious leader against my will.) 

And we’ll have not one, but TWO Patreon-Exclusive episodes of Blood on the Clocktower for you to make up for August’s shortfall!  Please also remember that tomorrow Communopoly 2 releases for the unwashed masses so if you want to get in before the crowd check out our previous post to get hold of the link.

Over on the main channel we’ve got Block Party, Lovecraft Letter and Beast all in the can for Board Game Club, and Teri is beavering (bear-vering?) on Honey Heist for later in the month.

Enjoy!

Regarding BOTC patreon content. Some of the comments in the October Poll post go into more details.

Robert James

Still no Blood On The Clocktower and it is now October. Any update?

Mitchel Ragan

Any updates? We should have a BOTC today and another next Saturday, no? Where is the podcast?

Lee Dellbridge

Crap, that's hugely disappointing although a bit odd. Did they say this recently? With Adam gone, I cannot really see what else they could want to see. I sincerely hope the two companies manage to come to terms as a lot of money was invested in the Kickstarter and the Patreon exclusive BOTC is a big pull for the Patreon. I will keep supporting them for a while yet to give them a chance to work all this out but it will be a struggle to justify it when I reassess my Patreon subs at the end of the year (I review all my subs in December each year) as life continues to get harder and more expensive here in the UK and the pulls to paying for NRB content are being removed. To clarify I do not include Adam as a pull, no offence to him but while I enjoy his on-screen character it was and is the cast that drew me into NRB and I did have some Adam related issues.

Josh Giles

Can't see alot more BOTC with The Pandemonium Instute issuing a statement that they are pausing working with NRB while all this goes on. Starting to consider whether my patreon contribution is worth it!!

David Donaldson

I do hope we get an update on Lord of the Board. I feel like I was going crazy, remembering a preview for it and then just never seeing it mentioned again.

I couldn't agree more - I can't wait!! So hoping there'll be an episode this Saturday <3 :)

shywolf

What about lord of the board??

stephen costa

When do either of the botc episodes come out? We are Les than 2 weeks from September being over and I can’t wait!!;-)

Doug etue

I'm wondering this as well. Was really hoping that a BotC video would be out today, but nothing so far, aww.. I know NRB have a lot going on right now, but oh it's been ever so long since BotC, and it's been so dearly missed! <3

whens the botc eps coming out

Posted this above, but bears repeating: Matt Lees is absolutely entitled to his opinion about people and practices, but I do think he was misleading in terms of the transparency at play. TDM's financials and related documents are all publicly available (as they must be by law). The things that were stated publicly are backed up by them and Alex Shane does not have a "controlling" interest, though he does have shares and voter privileges - facts publicly available since 2021. By all means, everyone has to do what they are comfortable with, but we also all have unprecedented access to data and information. We also need to take responsibility for how we individually consume media. It is miscategorizing both past and present to say that there is a coverup and nothing Matt Lees posted provided any proof of that (just speculation).

Lindsay M.H.

Matt's post on Twitter was interesting, but not substantive. I searched for an hour and could not find any mention of the allegations against Alex "Shane" Spilling ever having been tried in court or otherwise substantiated. I don't want to look like I'm defending a sexual predator, but I also don't think someone should be blackballed based on untested accusations. "Innocent until proven guilty," and all that. Yes, guilty people get accused of things they've done, but innocent people also get accused of things they haven't done, and people will use that as a weapon if they can get away with it. Now can we please cease speculating while we wait for facts?

Love NRB. NRB 4LIFE.

Who is Matt Lee and what have they posted?

In light of Matt Lees’ posts which I only read this morning, I’m cancelling my Patreon Subscription to NRB. Didn’t really know anything about TDM or it’s ownership of NRB, I’m purely here for the games and the fun but I really do not feel comfortable contributing now knowing who’s pockets I’m lining. I think Oli needs to be front and centre on this with transparency, and communications. I love seeing Laurie, Sully, Holly, Blair, Dom, Tilly and the rest of the cast and they were the reason for me subscribing to the Patreon and contributing to both BotC kickstarters in the first place. I really feel for them now and hope they knew nothing of the goings on with Adam et al. If they were to continue under a different guise/ management I would definitely contribute again but for now, I’m out. I’ll still follow on Twitter and subscribe to the YT channel just to see what the resolution to this mess turns out to be.

2 episodes of BotC *and* a Honey Heist BGC?? What a phenomenal month this is gonna be

Lotus

Laurie, you are my demon and have my support

Micah Newby

Yay BOTC

It probably means they’ve recorded it and Teri’s currently editing it 😊

Helen Kemp

Thank you immensely for the update! It's more appreciated than words can easily express. Looking forward to every single bit of content dearly!! <3 <3 <3

shywolf

Honey Heist?! Teri?!

Thank you Laurie for the update xXx your writing style brings me far too much joy!!

Charlotte Perrill

Great stuff across the board, lovely to see everything moving forward.

Reynard Wrecca

Thanks for the update and glad to see double clocktower!

Lee Dellbridge

Thanks Laurie :) Will we get a steer on the podcast about the future of House Rules?
