A very short review of "Bocchi the Rock" and a much longer and more baffled review of "Ranking of Kings".
A very quick review of an uncomplicatedly good show (Bocchi) and a much longer review of a show with a perfect first half that shits its pants and keeps walking for another 12 episodes (Ranking of Kings).
The main characters in each are named "Bocchi" and "Boji". Please enjoy me mixing up their names for an hour.

Jello reviews Starkid Production's "Hatchetfield" musicals. All 19 hours of them! Wow! Some are good. Some are bad. Find out which!
↓↓↓ TIMESTAMPS BELOW! ↓↓↓
So this is a bit of a niche topic. For the uninitiated, Starkid Productions is an independent theater company that makes comedy and parody musicals released for free on YouTube. They got their start with Harry Potter musical parodies but have since moved onto actually mak...

Jello (and his boyfriend!) review both "The Owl House" and "Gravity Falls", two shows they just watched together.
I showed my boyfriend Gravity Falls over the last few months and then we watched The Owl House and now we are here to talk about them at you for a long period of time.
Both of these shows have significant spoilers and being spoiled will hurt the experience of watching them, so we've segmented this review:

REPOSTED TO ALLOW FOR MULTIPLE VOTES:
Hey all. Sorry again about the relative radio silence on here. It's been a rough year so far. I was sick for 3 weeks of January, 2 weeks of February, and am still dealing with some post-Covid symptoms that I imagine will take quite awhile to go away.
The good news is that I finally (!) get to work on a YouTube video full time again: Dogs in Love 2, our playthrough of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. In fact, I d...

I'm trying to get this video finished in the next two weeks, but it's huge so no promises!
I think the first 10 minutes of this video might be the funniest thing I've ever edited.

Hello, all you wonderful patrons!
As I’m sure most of you are aware, I do long-form reviews of shows, movies, and games listed under the “Jello Reviews” tag here on Patreon. Ordinarily, those reviews are spoken and essentially improvised as I find I’m best at explaining myself when I do it verbally.
However! This January I was completely incapacitated for about 2.5 weeks with a chronic fatigue illness that was so strong I spent 85% of every day glued to my bed. I ...

Here's this thing! An hour and some change of me talking about design changes I would make, primarily in regards to the newly re-uploaded Anime Campaign: Episode 2. Most of this is about map and encounter design.
NOTE: The first half of this audio is about changes I would make as a GM, but the second half focuses on player etiquette. There are a few things the players did in these two adventures that I'd like to use as teachable moments ...

The first episode of Anime Campaign, the TTRPG series that Epithet is based on has been reuploaded. You can watch it here.
For those interested in the actual TTRPG mechanics of the characters, I've included their original character sheets along with some design commentary and five new example character sheets from the upcoming TTRPG system remake. 2023-01-17 21:01:38 +0000 UTC

This is first episode of "Anime Campaign", the TTRPG series that "Epithet Erased" is very loosely based on.
Originally streamed on Twitch.tv/SurpriseRoundRPG about 7-8 years ago, "Anime Campaign" was a series of loosely-connected episodic adventures with rotating party members and players. Each episode is loosely based on a different genre. The first episode, "Bliss Ocean Curiosities", is a western. This stream (along with elements of later episodes) was eventually adapted into episodes...

Hey all! First off, I just wanted to thank everybody here for an absolutely incredible month of support in December during the book launch. It's the best my patreon has ever done by a huge margin, and I hope all of you who grabbed the PDF are enjoying some of the exclusive stuff you get on here!
I wanted to have 2/3 things done already for the new year to capitalize on all the new Patreons and make sure they had some good things to look at, but as per usual with January I'm ext...

A small collection of outtakes from the Epithet Erased: Prison of Plastic audiobook! Originally we had all the actors record some eyecatch dialogue in case we wanted to use it between chapters. I've included one from each character here, as well as some of Graham's many-heads before they were mixed into the final scary voice.

Hello!
We're just one week away from the release of Epithet Erased: Prison of Plastic. To remind people that this is a thing that exists and also a thing I've been working on for 18 months, I'll be doing two launch streams!
Both of these will be on my main JelloApocalypse YouTube channel, not the new one for game streams, and they will feature many members of the cast and crew.
The first stream wil...

Look what I found on my computer! It's the original audition sides for Epithet Erased. These were made so long ago we literally didn't even have an art style for the show yet, so Oz had to draw a bunch of rapid-fire concept art of the characters.
I posted these with Sound Cadence's permission, but they asked me to hide the rates. I'll tell you that the Prison of Plastic rate is pretty standard, but the original S1 rate was absolutely bonkers high. I asked the ...

As far as I know, the audiobook will be releasing on Soundbooth Theater and purchasable versions of the book itself will be available on IngramSpark.
