PATRONS! I am BACK! The Vlog returns in a new and improved form with "Office Hours with Andy." Filming in my office once a week gives me more flexibility, and we can do more cool stuff! This week I'm talking about the year so far, and what lies ahead. Topics cover Neon Odyssey announcement, NO campaigns, NO lauch week, conventions for the year, cosplay, lifting, and Patreon enhancement.Make sure you leave comments on this post, let me know what you like, dislike, questions you have for next week, and anything else on your mind! I'll try to incorporate as much as I can in the next video. Thank you for all the incredible support you've given us. We couldn't do this without you!

Woah!!! Awesome!! I've missed these so much!!

Curious

Ive missed these!

Josh LaFlower

If people don't want to listen to you talk for an hour why do they watch legends of avantris? 😂 Feel free to yap as much as you like! It's music to my ears lol.

Drift

<3

Jadeyn F

Im excited for this series!

CandiedKitsune

ahhh i missed these so much! and i love how more ~relaxed~ the vibe is/can be with you doing these from your office

lycheepop

Gonna listen while i crochet!

Bardcorevibes

Can we get an invite only YouTube channel for the paid members, so we can chat on the lives like the twitch crew gets to? I'd love to be able to say hey and contribute jokes when I'm able to jump on!

Fancy Frogmouth

THE VLOGS RETURNETH! I missed these so much.

Fancy Frogmouth

My question is how are you feeling about NO being so close? I feel like my veins are full of electricity.

Joules

I love this- tho, what happened to the vlogs? They're not on the sheet anymore or on here- can we not watch them anymore?

Legends of Avantris

Unless I am misunderstanding, all of our live content is chattable including YouTube. There's also the discord channel for patrons to have their own space. A seperate YouTube channel and managing invidivual invites wouldn't be feasible.

Fancy Frogmouth

I personally love the surprises. I understand others not liking it but it is really fun for me when the switch ups happen. Hope nobody was too cruel or rude.

Mykayla Harris

I would love to hear about the game design process in a bit more detail, just out of curiosity. What player level do you think is appropriate for the DM to introduce familiars? Also, when you say to leave questions "here" do you mean in the YouTube comments or the patreon post comments?

Fancy Frogmouth

My parents are probably tired of me talking abot DCC as much as they are tired of me talking about Avantris... I too am insufferable. 😂 (Sorry I will comment less in the future per post...)

Mykayla Harris

Jk, Im dumb and typed this out right before you finished the sentence that said on the patreon post 😆 This is what I get for trying to multitask lol

Linguist

One hour of yapping Andy? Yes please!! I love to hear his thoughts and can't wait for next week. Thanks for the hard work! <3

Fancy Frogmouth

I just mean making it more concise so I am not spamming but if you are good with me responding as I watch along I will continue to do just that. ❤️

SassMasterJM

I like the conversational nature of these, it's one of my fave things seeing you guys at cons and stuff where you can just talk like real people and not have to be on so much. I didnt really notice an audio issue if that helps! A suggestion for NO products is- for spell cards please make them more like standard WOTC cards! Like, playing card size so they fit in my binders. It's the biggest product complaint my players had, that and having them double sided. Keep rockin', Andy!

Jennderqueer

Great first installment! I would love to hear you talk about mission design. I struggle with coming up with new ideas for player adventures.

Fancy Frogmouth

Sad news for WFRP but I understand. Every day we still get closer to its return. Andy, just had the thought, are you gonna leave your hair as is for the Carl cosplay or cut it?

TheMadTrickster

I've never got the chance to listen to VODs so this was a great time to start. Especially for a gym day! This was fun to listen to and hear about what's going on. Wish you the best with working out and your Carl cosplay. I am looking forward to more. Take care!

starcrossreverie

My mom and sister are the same, they can eat 1 meal a day and be perfectly fine but I NEED 3 meals a day haha I get hungry around every 4-5 hours and I feel dizzy if I don't eat

Ihatethewordfate

Office Hours!!! I think it would be cool to hear you talk about any "current events" you're aware of in TTRPG space. For example, your thoughts on the DCC RPG.

Fancy Frogmouth

Can my least favorite "member" of Avantris be the people that say they hate you and don't want to hear you talk for an hour?

superkillerjack

With so many of the openings from the odyssey campaigns having awesome saxophone part any plans to learn some of them and potentially play them for us

Ghost kid 13

This was awesome to get to listen to while doing research! I love these so much !!!!!! I can't wait for the next one !

Tina

It was a pleasure to listen to you talk about everything, Andy. I love that you allow us to be part of LOA. It's an honor to be included. I can't think of anything to add but more so bc I know you'll always have plenty of things to talk about. Thank you.

Samuel Cleveland

I’m so stoked to take to the stars with neon Odyssey, I can’t wait to see what you all have done with it and I’m just very happy to be a fan and get to witness your creativity on/off screen

OpalEye 42

I am glad that you guys have taken the feedback on bait-and-switches and modified how you do reveals. I ,personally, wasn't upset by the NeOd announcement stream, but I can understand why some people were. It's fine to have surprises but if you tease something then pull the rug out from under people, it can leave them feeling 1) stupid, like they were played for fools, and/or 2) like they can't trust you. So I really do feel that this change will a benefit to your brand. Thanks for starting the vlogs up again. They are really good to listen to when I am doing chores or driving. I hope you don't end up stressing heaps trying to put up one of these a week. Take care 💚

Drift

Really appreciate the mention of the OUAW bait-and-switch. Surprises are fine, but I think people would rather show up for something that's just referred to as a 'surprise stream' instead. I loved the NO one-shot, but I absolutely understood how some felt about Witchlight not occurring. Personally, I'd love to get a little tour of your instruments! I miss my old bass guitar, and I keep hearing about the instruments that you and the twins have. On the topic of eating enough/working out, I massively feel you on that. I used to eat *maybe* twice a day or graze on food over time, but getting into a routine of eating once every 3 hours has helped with weight gain. I also have issues eating when I'm feeling anxious, so that progress went down the drain in March, lol. I was able to properly start working out a few weeks ago, and I've already experienced some great progress. The Hero Training channel has been really helpful in terms of getting advice and seeing what others are up to! I also think the idea that you need toned abs is entirely subjective, and on my end, I care way less about that compared to just getting stronger overall. Also, Mark, Bob and Wade truly are sweethearts. They've all known each other since high school I believe, and I think I've watched Mark for around a decade now (he's one of the most sincere content creators I've ever had the pleasure of watching). I believe the three of them (along with Ethan Nestor and Tyler Scheid) took improv classes together a few years back, and it's really leveled up their ability to be goofballs.

HarleyBear95

Oh Andrew, you sweet Summer child - you cannot become the 2nd greatest 5.5e game designer on the plant, as that is my destiny! lol

nearlytuna

You got this dude! Good to see the vlog format back again, this definitely seems more sustainable for you too. Love it! edit: Zines? ZINES ANDY FLYNN? ZIIIINES??

Dodoazoogee

This truly made my day! Thanks for taking the time to yap for us. Today you've also inspired me to begin reading Dungeon Crawler Carl in preparation for what is hopefully my first Book Club. I'd love to hear you talk about learning the ropes of game design, how you started making stuff and what you've learned from then until now. As a baby DM I love hearing about things like that, makes me eager to keep improving.

Slade Christensen

Love the vlog format! Great way to get some fun insights about about things coming up and how things are going not to mention just fun to chill out and listen while working myself! Sounds like some really cool stuff coming for patrons so it sounds like joined at a good time. I have so much backlog to watch in the meantime as well. As someone who just joined the patreon, I'm actually currently watching WFRP Mud and Mercy, I'm sad to hear it may be a long while before we get the official campaign but I'm really hoping you guys can find a way, and looking forward to it happening some day. Do you have any personal recommendations for those of us who are new what to watch in the backlog of content? I started really getting into your guys content at the beginning of this year and the amount of things to watch is quite daunting. Still, I'm loving everything from campaigns to video game, and chill content so far!

Sodafin

Hooray vlogs are back!! They’re the perfect thing to listen to in the background of my work. I’d love to hear you talk about anything. 😌

Elena B

I remember being disappointed when the bait and switch happened, I mean witch light left on such a good cliffhanger, what we got in exchange made me quickly forget about any disappointment that I had.

Husky

This was honestly such a fun time to wrap up my shift at work tonight. I had just finished listening to the most recent episode of Waltz and was about to come listen to A&C and saw this and thought it would be a much better use of my cleaning time! I'm super excited to be there right when the button is hit on tuesday. I have off work and I'll be ready with some coffee. I do hope after all of this is finally over you guys get the rest you deserve. Yall work too hard for us sometimes I feel but not only myself but everybody else I'm sure appreciates every bit of the work you do here for all of us. Also love the choice of The Midnight. I finally decided to jump into their discog and I've been loving it like I was honestly expecting myself to.

Darkrai_69

There are several recommended watch orders, listed here: https://avantris.fandom.com/wiki/Watch_Order The only order I'd say is a definite MUST though is "Curse of Strahdanya", followed by "Beneath Dark Wings", followed by "Edge of Midnight"

Starshine Nylene

This was really nice and relaxing to watch, I really enjoyed listening to you just talking about how life has been recently. Just a calm chat without crazy background music and constant distractions can do wonders sometimes. I hope it was just as relaxing for you honestly! I've been having the best time watching all the Neon Odyssey content and like many, I'm dreading for it all to end and we have to say goodbye to all the new beloved versions of old characters, and the new characters everyone has grown to love so much, but I'll be happy for you guys once this *does* come to an end, because that means that you've been so strong and determined to make it through a fun but incredibly exhausting time, and that you can all finally take some time to rest. I really hope you guys feel proud of yourselves!! You all really deserve that break that's coming up soon!! Just hold on a little longer, you can do it. I believe in all of you <3

SorenSilverblade

Glad to see the Andy podcast is back! Here’s a question, what are some Neon Odyssey characters you have ideas for but don’t have the opportunity to play?

Andrew Long

So glad you’re back. Leaving my question here. I’ve never seen a mecha Anime but since listening to WfE campaign I’ve been wanting to try one. Any suggestions on a Good one to start with?

Hongry

Bass and sax makes a lot of sense.

GeminiThomas

I love the behind the scenes content, hearing the game design progress, what the flow of progress looks like from the creator perspective versus when we get sneak peaks. It's all fantastic. The marathon you guys must be going through is no joke, strictly speaking as a consumer, it is difficult to keep up with all of the episodes and A&C. To be on the creative end of that has to be incredibly intense. Major props to the team. In that regard it would be interesting to hear about how you guys maintain work/life balance. Or even keeping parasocial balances online or at conventions.

Kaira Harmonia

Given Cosplay was mentioned what has been the most fun cosplay you've done?

Joules

Understandable! I imagine it may have not been the safest mode of vlogging. Thank you kindly for answering, I was simply wondering, don't worry!

Joules

I have a question for next vlog! What's your favourite among your instruments to play? Where did you learn? I'm just curious about your music hobby overall, I'd love to hear more! My dad is a guitarist and bassist, and even played in a band :D I learned guitar and keyboard when I was younger, and plan to relearn keyboarding again.

kiwigirl2015

if the foam isnt up for the next office hours can we roast you? (not next weeks the week after)

Zer0F00L

For what it’s worth I loved the surprise it got everybody guessing. My only fear is if you guys started doing Avantris direct like you said here it would have people’s expectations get so high and if you fall short of their expectations, it could just not end well so I’d much rather be surprised than have to hear a bunch of people whose expectations got too high and now they’re sour about it. Honestly, I don’t think you’ll ever be able to please everybody

Spazdick

You guys talk about the work load stresses you out sometimes, I'm curious how someone would apply to work for Avantris Entertainment? Is the team all within your area or are many working remote? Or is it more of a matter of networking and only those with recommendations are asked to join? I personally have years of convention staff experience for exhibit hall and would be excited to help.

Ayqmb

Has the marketing team considered making mtg or other tcg gamemats? I would love a stardust mat Or even a saltmarsh one

LostWithinReason

Its disappointing to hear there was backlash(?) for the Neon Odyssey surprise announcement because I personally thought it was really well done and enjoyed being surprised. Anyway, you've never looked more buff, Andy. Dare I say you're looking "Jacked" as Markiplier eloquently said.

pomegranate_poser

Are you still considering having Dan on for an interview because thats something I would love to see! Also love this content as a whole keep up the great work!

Morgan Burdick

If you’re trying to bulk up try peanut butter sandwiches! My bf used to eat them to bulk up for wrestling I hope it helps Andy!!

InaNyra

I'm so sad to hear that you wont be doing surprises anymore.. I LOVED the announcement and being there for it live to react with other fans and seeing y'all's joy for something you love was electric. I have enjoyed being there live for all of those surprise moments (players returning to the table for ex.). You guys have thrived because you follow your heart and passion, which the very many of us who truly support you love that about y'all! I know you're running a business but don't let capitalism and metrics deter the soul of LoA! Congrats on all your success and growth this far! It's been so fun to be along for the ride since before Crooked Moon. < 3 (p.s this is a good revamp of the vlogs, same good behind the scenes but more cozy and well paced)

RubyBobcat

As a certified "new" patron (I've been a patron since roughly when NeOd was announced) I'm very excited for the vlog series! I've not really seen any of the Andy Flynn (TM) content, I've been busy being one of Nikki's Abominations >:D But I'm excited to see more Andy stuff, different gaming stuff, and I'm always a big fan of the chill yapping - it's great to have in the background while crocheting :D I'm also very excited for potential patron supplement stuff :o As for the bait and switch, I personally very much enjoyed the surprise, but I see where people were coming from. And I just want to thank y'all for cultivating such a wonderful, kind community. I've felt so welcome since joining the discord and becoming a patron, and overall it's been a very positive first proper experience of participating in a fandom! Love y'all and the amazing work you do (including the fabulous team behind the scenes!) xx /p

RobertTDL

I absolutely loved listening to u talk definitely want more of it! And can't wait for the books!

Ashleaves

Hey Andy. Love love love the vlog. Something that might be interesting to see in one of the vlogs is to watch you work on something your creating and walk us thru ur thought process. Maybe an avantris patron familiar... a little gremlin 🤣
