Content

Hey everyone, as we do every year, we will be taking some time off from uploading for the holidays in order to give everyone who works on episodes behind the scenes some time to enjoy themselves and to spend with family.

We will be returning to biweekly Patreon uploads on the 13th of January, giving us 2 weeks to relax. We thank you for your understanding.

While the Suckening will return on the 13th with episode 5, Riptide will instead be taking a hiatus for an indeterminate amount of time, but hopefully no longer than about 6 months. We wish to take the time to write and flesh everything out that we need to to conclude the story in a satisfactory way, as we never had the chance to do so when we started the campaign. You can think of this as a Production Hiatus. (There may be something coming on the public channel in the mean time, but we will need some time before that begins.)

The Suckening and any Patreon content will not be affected by this hiatus.  We sincerely appreciate your understanding and hope everyone has happy holidays!

Enjoy the holidays everyone! and I am very excited to see where Riptide goes after the haitus, leaving off on a cliffhanger is so evil Grizzly but I 100% understand the need for a break. Wish you all well 🙏💖

Georgia Braun

Space

I hope y'alls break goes well and easy!! Happy Holidays 🫂

GoopHole

Oh man the riptide campaign coming to its conclusion! The storytelling in riptide is some of my favorite ever. Laughs, tears, and a whole lot of frustration from self sabotage. I love the riptide crew

GizmoThe_Ginger

Take all the time you need, everyone will be here when you get back 🫶 Happy holidays:3

nautLS

KmartEnthusiast

Super exiting guys! Great to see the quality of the funnies and your minds are top priority

Connor Kronk

Actually sobbing but it’s okay 😭 Totally understand guys. We appreciate all the hard work and effort you put in. Enjoy your holidays!

Ella Greenwood

Does that mean that riptide is ending soon or you just haven’t figured out how you want to end it but the ending would be in the far future? Also merry holidays to all of you guys (including behind the scenes) love you all para socially!!!

tidalwisp

merry christmas! im gonna miss riptide when its gone, but im still super exited for it

Connor Kronk

Guess I’ll just have to listen to the entire Riptide campaign for the 4th time 😎 (Wish I was joking.)

Ruben Trejo

Happy Holidays, I’m excited to see what comes at the end of this, but take the time y’all need to make it as special as can be

KinzerM03

kitsacat

Merry Christmas, take that well deserved break!

theabsolutelad

DizzyBear

Happy holidays gang you really deserve it it's been an amazing year 🥰

unavailable.exe

happy holidays and the thought that riptide is (seemingly) almost over breaks my heart

SireToad

Riptide shall be missed in the meanwhile, but a production hiatus to ensure the best story is good. Excited for more Patreon stuff and The Suckening. Have a good break boys!!

Possum Paul

Well the good side to this is it gives Me time to watch apotheosis!

Blue

Essentially he just wants to plan it properly, he talks about it more on his twitter

Nicholas Winkler

We love you guys (parasocially) and totally understand. Do what’s best for you.

Pine_Tree

happy holidays!! i gotta watch apotheosis and catch up to the suckening during the hiatus fr

Captain Cardboard

I’m just going to pretend that riptide isn’t coming to its end but is just getting to the end of the first major act of infinite acts because this series to good to end :)

Mr. Disco

No worries, totally understandable. Plus, breaks are very important. Happy holidays guys!

Random Artist

ah happy holidays guys! take all the time you need, thank you for doing this for us

gavin christenson

Merry Christmas, I love riptide, but I am excited to see what will come after.

orfencrippler

Happy Holidays boiz! Take all the time you need. Crafting masterpieces takes time to figure out, so it's always better to take a step back and return stronger. Case in point, the most amazing season finale for PD S02! Take care dudez!! ::::) <--Smiling Spider

simbe

Conclude riptide?? What do you mean? Riptide can’t end. There is no end. Chip and gillion are too prone to trouble. Can’t happen. Nope.

em_aye_vee_

I'll miss riptide so much, I hope it has more endings than lord of the rings

gummie

I don't know if I'll be able to survive 6 full months without riptide ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT CLIFFHANGER??? HELLO????

Jackson Stang

I agree, we need an encore and just keep going with it.

simbe

Literally. Riptide has been my life these past two years. Crazy to think it’ll one day stop.

Keira Klyuzheva

Well, I got two other campaigns to catch up on, so good luck writing and happy holidays to you all!

PetalNettle

ThePhantomX64

Hope the crew have a happy holidays. Everyone who is part of the show deserves the break.

azu

Audrey

“Conclude the story” The day riptide ends I’m gonna cry a million tears this campaign has held me together for years lmao

Redo

Nooooo I don't want riptide to end :[

Sylvia Corvidae

They need to just keep rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling and... ...with it! Forever.

simbe

Just keep rolling, just keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. -Dorthy, because if she was real she’d be a jrwi riptide fan

grimalkin

I hope y'all had a blast playing each respective campaign this year, they were all total bangers! The Suckening left on one HELLUVA cliffhanger, can't to see what y'all pump out next. Enjoy your break, merry Christmas, and happy new year gang! 🎉

pumpkinhead

wait, riptide is gonna end soon??? well anyways..happy holidays to everyone!!!

Björn Reckmann

If theres a new main campaign after riptide planned i pray to the gods for charlie to dm it <3

Teagan Wing

I didn't realize riptide was ending soon :( but I'm hyped for it anyway xD

ToppHatChicken

It's so sad to think that Riptide is ending soon but It's been such a hype journey. It will be very bittersweet when Riptide concludes, but I very much look forward to the ending. The ride has been incredible, have a great hiatus, and I look forward to all of the other stuff to be produced.

FYNNER

From their statements in the reed you guess 5 years of Jrwi video that seems like the plan

FYNNER

To the people that think riptide is ending soon: it isn't, at least from his interview on 5 years of riptide we are in for at least another year of riptide after the hiatus, I think they're just taking time to set up a definitive ending so everything can start flowing towards it

Sam Kirke

bit devastated the hiatus might be so long, but I’m curious about the plan for content at the moment, will that mean all that’s being released for a while will be suckening on for free and then on patreon. Not sure what this will really mean for patreon tiers. Whether as a patreon subscriber or not- I look forward to seeing what comes next either way! Happy holidays :)

Alpha Abyss

It will be very hard to be without Riptide for months not gonna lie. Even though I understand the reasoning for the hiatus, I really look forward to the episodes and this is gonna suck. On that note, I'm glad at least The Suckening will be back in two weeks as I am VERY curious what direction that campaign is going to go in. Happy holidays!

haywild

I hope when they say that they are going to "conclude the story" they mean the arc, even though it seems like they mean they are going to end riptide. I really don't think they should end riptide because of how many loose ends there are, such as chip being still dead, the artificial leviathan still being built, the war, Gillon

haywild

man i just accidentally hit enter. As i was saying, Gillion's sister being missing. Another reason they shouldn

haywild

I did it again. They shouldn't end riptide due to the goofy guy gillion because he is so silly.

Lauren Robinson

God this campaign is good! Every time I see Gillian and Chip and Jay I end up smiling and I am exited to see the resolution of this story and saddened to know the campaign is close to over.

Xéphen

Man I hope we get a satisfying conclusion to Gillian, I want to see him become this chosen one he's been after for so long and have his moment to do some real actual chosen one shenanigans

Alfiendd

I’m eating beef stroganoff for the first time in my life rn and I gotta say this shit kinda slaps. Anyways- I trust in y’all to do what’s best, and it’s your story to tell to us, so do what you all think will make it as good as you want it to be. I have no expectations aside from Gillion to fail a stealth check- take care 💛

VeeVee

remember the bald guy the faywild? i think we have a pretty long way to go :)

VeeVee

dude i literally started rewatching riptide like 2 weeks ago, this is perfect timing

Guitar George

Love you guys, take as much time as you need, I severely need to catch up on riptide anyhow

Foolproof Mayonnaise

you deserve this! especially considering the insane spike in stakes and imo in quality of the episodes since about right after the feywild, I can only imagine what you'll do with this content given time to really write and give the characters a fulfilling conclusion (and hope that said conclusion involves felipe). happy holidays and thank you for all the incredible stories!

Caspian’s Boyfriend Icarus

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!! And to the JRWI crew thank you for being amazing people and making such an amazing show ❤️❤️ forever grateful to have found you guys and your content and I hope to see more from you guys for a long time :))

Honeywisk

Happy break and happy hiatus! You ghoul boys deserve it! If riptide needs some fleshing out to make it the best it can be, take all the time it needs ya goobers! We will wait patiently for Jay Ferin to return from war. Happy Holidays and New Year, JRWI team!

Pawkit !!

well deserved !!! happy holidays and new year !! <3

Little wind

Enjoy the well earned time of of make sure to get dopple gille something nice

Goldtone

Officially fallen into riptide relapse. Became a patreon-er ‘caus I can’t survive without these guys and their DnD sessions </3 Enjoy the well deserved break, and take care of yourself Grizzly, give yourself as much time as you need, writing these stories should be fun, not arduous :)

Tecka

Wait I forgot that riptide like actually had to end eventually, I thought it was just going to go on like forever for some reason and now hearing that it is going to end soon makes me sad as those where the characters that got me into Just Roll With It and d&d in general. So basically, that means if grizzly doesn't end the campaign with a bang, I might kill someone. :>

Steve Harvey

BRING BACK THE COUNCIL TO FILL THE GAPS

Michael

i kinda hope he doesn’t become the chosen one, although whatever happens im here for it

AAH AAAAH AHHHHHHHHHHH

Does anyone know if there will be episodes this weekend in replacement of riptide? Or will there be no post?

Fujin :)

I just realized that 6 months is half a year, bi weekly sucking will be the only thing keeping me sane for the next 5 months and a half

Vyrion-157

RANDOM 3 am THOUGHT !!! Imagine if Grungus the Goldfish, the one whom Chip and Gillion took out a loan with, used the power granted by this bargain in order to become a leviathan of the undersea.

Alana Cake

The way that this post was almost exactly 6 months ago to the day made me realize that it FLEW by, as it turns out past me is just REALLY dramatic!

chaoticgaygremlin

I am so excited for the next riptide episode! Like stupidly excited. I have an addiction. It is concerning. I am willing to wait a thousand years for those silly little pirate people to return istg
