Witch Week: Ame, Witch of the World's Heart

IT'S THE FINAL DAY OF WITCH WEEK! We've got five witches in the Coven of Elders, which means artwork of each witch per day for the rest of this week!

Today belongs to Ame, Witch of the World's Heart.

I will find these tools that I need. I will find my friends. They'll come with me. I have so little time, and so much to do, but I will get it done. That's what a witch does. There is nothing that cannot be fixed by hard work and care. And I am filled with the aptitude, the experience, and the knowledge, and heart, for both.

Thank you so much for joining us on Witch Week!

Witch Week: Mirara, Witch of the Waning Moon

IT'S DAY 4 OF WITCH WEEK! We've got five witches in the Coven of Elders, which means artwork of each witch per day for the rest of this week!

Today belongs to Mirara, Witch of the Waning Moon.

Seated already on her throne, you see a woman dressed in robes, deeper and more black than darkest night. A hundred points, sharp as needles, emerging in a crown of spikes, emerging from the back of a head adorned with a completely blank white mask. Arms longer, disproportionate to her already towering form, ending in gloved claws like needles tapping on the arms of her throne.

Stay tuned for the final witch tomorrow!

Witch Week: Hakea, Witch of the Woodland Green

IT'S DAY 3 OF WITCH WEEK! We've got five witches in the Coven of Elders, which means artwork of each witch per day for the rest of this week!

Today belongs to Hakea, Witch of the Woodland Green.

At their center is a woman bowed with age. She moves a gown of moss and bark surrounding her. This woman is ancient. An older Black woman with hair bedecked by moss and vine, a wide-brimmed hat. Her venerable eyes look forward with a pulse of green light that casts the entire world—wherever she looks, becomes verdant. 

Stay tuned for tomorrow's witch!

WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF WITCH WEEK! We've got five witches in the Coven of Elders, which means artwork of each witch per day for the rest of this week!

Today belongs to Gramore, Witch of the Wild Hunt.

If you run in her presence, she is given to kill you and no magical law will stop her from doing so.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's witch!

Some New Updates, Reminders, and What's This??

Ahoohoo, happy Friday! We've got a few updates, reminders, and a lovely little tease for something mega cool that's coming next week 👀

Adding the Patreon-Exclusive Fireside Feed to Spotify

  • We’ve been testing it out for a while and can finally shout about it publicly: You can now add your private Fireside Feed to your Spotify account! This means that if you use Spotify for podcasts, you can get both the main public feed and Fireside Feed right there in the platform. Many other podcast apps also allow you to combine multiple feeds into unified playlists, like Overcast, Pocketcasts, etc, but now Spotify does as well. For instructions on how to add your private RSS into your Spotify account, click riiiight here.

Patreon Recommendations

  • Patreon has added a new feature that allows Patreon artists to “recc” each other! We love this! Check out our About page where you can see the other Patreon artists we recommend. You might recognize our first two: The Griffon’s Saddlebag (who designed the art and stat blocks for the magic items in Arc 1 of the Wizard the Witch and the Wild One), and Transplanar, a really, really good looking and generally fantastic video AP, that we think you’ll love.

Interlude #2: The Clearing

  • We have recorded and are now scoring and editing our second interlude, to debut this September between Arcs 3 and Arc 4! Should you miraculously survive the remaining episodes of Arc 3 (it’s INTENSE and WILD, folks) you’ll be treated to what can only be described as the exact opposite of our first interlude, Twelvebrooks. In “The Clearing”, all new characters will take you far into the past of Umora, to a place made of danger, blood, and light, a place you have not, or wait..maybe you have (?) been before. God, we love being mysterious.

WBN Summer Remix Competition Deadline

Upcoming Merch

  • We hinted at upcoming merch during our birthday livestream, and more things are picking up steam and taking shape as we speak! WATCH THIS SPACE, and get excited!

And what we have in store for next week ... Can you guess?  👀

  • Something witchy this way comes ...

[PUBLIC EPISODE] The Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One: ep029 "The Spy"

Everybody's gotta serve somebody. But who? Who exactly is calling the shots? And how can you tell who anyone else is working for? Finding out can be expensive. It takes sacrifice, subterfuge, diplomacy, a poker face, a long look in the mirror, and worst of all: networking. All this and more, we give gladly, for the sustaining and preservation of great magic.

The gang splits up. The stars align and cast no shadow. In separation: terror and revelation. But it's pressure that makes the coal into diamond isn't it? And oh what stories that diamond could tell, of the phantom thread that unspools from cradle to the gory floor.

Fireside Chat for WWW ep27 "The Agenda"

If sweet liquid is what you seek, look about you, for in this episode of hit, private, podcast Fireside Chats, the cast of Worlds Beyond Number gather to discuss the episode (as they literally always do without exception) and something called the Omegaverse, which I think means "last verse." My favorite last verse is from Will.i.am in "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas:

And mix your milk with my Coco Puffs

Milky, milky coco

Mix your milk with my coco puffs

Milky, milky right

Anyway, enjoy the show!

Our deliberations begin. You're probably wondering why I've called you all here today. Or maybe you're not. Maybe you already know. How could anyone tell with that mask on your face? Let's do it again, but this time: with stakes, a bird on my shoulder, my breath on your neck. Take a break, sure, but then, (if it is the right thing to do, and only then): have at me.

Episode 25 FSC Will Be Released on Friday, May 3rd!

So, some bad news: Ep. 25's fireside chat will be released this Friday instead of the usual Tuesday.

The good news: This is because CAMP is happening again at the end of the week, and we wanted to record it while everyone was together in one room! Yay!

The stars at the top of the world begin to align, and the meeting of the coven draws ever nearer. Old debts are paid and new collateral is put on the line. Ame plays politics, Eursulon plays cowboy, and Suvi's not playing around, not even a little. Remember, the number one rule of hospitality and protocol is never ever tell your host that all your rowdy friends are coming over tonight. They hate that.

AMTay Community Chat Pilot Q&As

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for participating with our pilot run of Patreon's community chats yesterday! There were quite a few bumps and hiccups regarding the platform's functionalities and user experience, so we really appreciated everyone's patience and kindness throughout the entire AMA.

Moving forward, we'll try to have these a little more regularly for paid subscribers; hopefully Patreon will have all the kinks smoothed out in the near future so things can run more seamlessly, and everyone can participate more easily!

As promised, we collected the questions Taylor answered yesterday into a document, which we have available in PDF form below.

Please note that as these were copied directly from the live chat, spelling, punctuation, and grammar both on the question askers' and Taylor's end may not be totally perfect.

Thanks again to everyone who participated, keep your eyes peeled for the next one!

ATA (Ask Taylor Anything) Community Chat Pilot!

Hi all! We're gonna be testing out Patreon's new Community Chat feature today with a Taylor-led AMA at 1:30pm PT / 4:30pm ET!

Essentially, it's a chat room exclusive to paid subscribers, so join in if you can and bring Taylor your hardest hitting questions.

Please remember to be respectful to both Taylor and the moderator, as well as your fellow community members. Bad chat etiquette will result in removal from the chat, and in cases where applicable, being blocked from the Patreon page.

As this is our first time trying this new feature out, please be patient if there are bumps that need to be smoothed out in real time or if we can't get to your question.

We're excited to see you all there!

[PUBLIC EPISODE] The Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One: ep024 “Knock Knock"


Phone rings, door chimes, in comes company. The Italians call it "hospitaliano," that open armed attitude that makes guesting and having guests molto fun. Whether you're hosting, being hosted, or hosting again because you forgot the first time, always remember, it’s dangerous to refuse a guest, and sometimes worse to be one.

WWW Interlude #1: Twelve Brooks

or....Good Will Humping (Aabria made me type that.)

Behold! Our first "Interlude," an in-world canon one-shot where the cast gathers to create, expand, and play hitherto unseen people and places within the world of Umora. It is a profound pleasure to welcome you to the modest, but beloved, amphibious hamlet of Twelve Brooks, on the very cusp of its (regionally) famous midsummer revel. You are not going to BELIEVE who they named Great Bullfrog this year.

Starring Lou Wilson, Aabria Iyengar, Erika Ishii, and Brennan Lee Mulligan

Produced by Taylor Moore

Edited and Designed by Jared Olson

And featuring an original score and live saxophone performance from our first guest composer (!) Joseph David Spence

[PUBLIC EPISODE] Bag It or Tag It with GM Lou Wilson

Lou invented a game called Bag It or Tag it where he generates random characters and the other cast members decide to bag them or tag them. We play it on the Patreon feed from time to time. People like it very much. Here, in its public debut, is the narrative RPG storytelling masterpiece Bag It or Tag It. If you enjoy this (good! smart!) you'd be a fool to not join us by the fireside on our Patreon.
