The Narrative This Week - Sep 7th, 2026 (Patreon)

Text summary was voice to text generated and summarized, be aware that incorrect context and mistakes can occur.

Good morning, everybody! Here is what happened last week and what comes next.

The short version: We recorded Whisperwood. Episode 6 comes to Patreon on September 10. The main shows return next week.

Health Update

Two-Tail Stories is back in the hospital. The doctors want to keep her there so they can monitor her condition. Please send her all your good wishes. She fights hard, and we are all behind her.

Thurston also had another flood in his basement, with about two inches of water. He has a lot to deal with right now. I told him I will fly up to help if he needs it. Please keep him in your thoughts too.

The Return Schedule

This should be the last hiatus week. Speaker and Hulkier are on their yearly trip with Alpha right now. When everyone is back, here is the plan:

September 10 — Whisperwood Episode 6 (Patreon)

September 14 — Chaos Odyssey recording session

September 16 — Rotgrind returns

September 18 — Warhammer 2nd Edition streamed test sessions

Mikura has two Whisperwood animations in the pipeline now. I will share a preview of one soon. We want to dedicate support for Whisperwood before switching shorts and animations back to other shows to give it a chance.

If the schedule changes, I will tell you right away. As of now, everything is good to go.

Fallback Plans

I want to end the pattern where one absence stops a full week of content. So we now have backup plans.

If we cannot record Rotgrind or Chaos Odyssey, we will livestream the Secrets of Grace adventures instead. The group has confirmed this plan, and I only need one final confirmation from a player. Whisperwood exists for the same reason: if one show stops, another fun adventure continues.

Our rule stays the same. If life hits someone hard, we delay the episode and record it right. When you watch the shows later, you never feel the gaps. But we will do our best to make those gaps rare.

Behind the Scenes

My big task this week is infrastructure. My NAS parts are on the way, and hardware prices made that order painful. This setup protects our artists and their work, and it improves our security.

The rest of the week:

Prep all of our game modules

Get the show assets ready for Thurston, so Rotgrind and Chaos Odyssey can start on time

Set up Foundry for Speaker, so he can prepare Mothership for October

Fix our YouTube API quota problems

Meet with our animator and with EZ

Video Editor Applications

Thank you to everyone who applied! EZ and I will meet today to review all submissions.

Thank You

Thanks for being patient with us doing this forced break. Believe me, I want things to get moving as much as you all do.
