I... AM STILL ALIVE!

And the script for the glabrezu episode is DONE!

Fingers crossed this video will be done by next weekend. But you'll have a new video sooner rather than later!

I figured I should send an update because the story video is not coming to YouTube as I originally planned. Without going too long, the idea behind the story video was to give me a bit of a break between Blood War stuff but it turned out to need lots more work than I originally thought. I did post the audio version of the story to my Patreon but I thought it'd be better for the channel to move to the next Blood War episode.

If 5 people comment on this and say they want the still image version of the audiobook on YouTube (i.e. the video portion is just a static image), I'll go ahead and upload it; I just figured it'd be a better idea to wait until I have a chance to edit.

I've been out, I know! Like I said, had work during this week and I couldn't get it together to edit after each day. I'll be working hard to get my story audiobook uploaded this weekend and I should have the ability to get some scripts done, so I'll pick it up. Uploads will resume soon!

Hello everybody around the world and around the corner, it's me it's me it's the Big NZ, I have to be amped up because I have to say that unfortunately the next upload is probably gonna be a bit slow... as in like this weekend? I had planned to get the recorded version of "Hell Bitch's Brew" out by tomorrow but out of nowhere I got a short temp job, so my time is a bit more limited than I'd like. Still working on it, but I had originally planned to do a lot of the edit today and I haven't gotten to it yet.

Next Blood War episode should be about 2 weeks after that, so that's 3 weeks of wait for the Dretch episode? I've probably jinxed it by saying this but at least you know the estimate.

And if you haven't yet, go watch the balor video! It's BEEN out!

Got a new video up! This one is called "General Notes" and it's pretty much what it sounds like, just going over some "housekeeping" stuff so I can be sure I get that out there. Check this one out if you're a true lore head cause it might help stuff make more sense going forward.

BUT! The next video with real content will be up in a few days! I didn't want to release this housekeeping one until I was on the home stretch with the next. Episode 3 will be about the BALOR! I'm working on the effects and it should be up by Wednesday latest!

I just posted a story on my patreon! It's called "Hell B-tch's Brew" and it's a pulpy hack-and-slash following Gort, the big ol' orc, as he tries to help a fugitive from a group of devil soldiers. The story has a lot of "differences" from the regular D&D setting but it definitely wears its Blood War influence on its sleeve.

If you want to read the story now, you'll need to be a $5 patron. I have recorded it, though, and it will be posted on the channel soon enough for people to listen to.

Also! New episodes of the Blood War Encyclopedia are in the works! Episode 2 is complete but it's a housekeeping episode, so I'm going to wait until I have episode 3 done (or nearly so) before I release it. I'd say maybe a week or so out? Stay tuned!

It's been a while, everyone, but I've just posted a new video! It's the start of a new series, the Encyclopedia of the Blood War. Yes, it's the same topic as the last main series, but I'm gonna be a bit more focused about everything. I've also re-opened my patreon with a public post. Here's part of it:

"What's gonna be the difference this time? To be blunt: I'm broke.

That doesn't mean I'm looking at this as a cash grab! What I mean is that before I had a job and I was doing this as a hobby. I'd create videos when I felt like it and when I had time. This time, I'm going to try and put more effort into it to see if I can make it something. Not looking for anything huge, I just want to give this a real go.

That means I'll be working hard to produce more videos of different kinds. I wouldn't expect daily videos but I hope to get something up every 1-2 weeks; especially with video, I'm not sure I can get things out much quicker. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!"

I gotta plug the patreon, but if you want to see more before you support, don't worry! I know that this is something I have to build, so just keep tuning in for new content and I hope you eventually find a reason to join the patreon!

Narzugon video is actually getting pushed for original lore for use with Spelljammer; this will involve lots of Blood War-esque stuff. Going to try to keep this Legally Distinct but it should be easy to build from.
