Hello everybody and welcome to the Fire Side Chat for episode 54. There is a path and we are on it. I am your host, Erika Ishii. And with me as always is my dear friend, Apria, I am Gaur. Ahuhu crackle crackle! Oh my god we did it. We did it with Brennan Lee Mulligan! Ahuhu crackle crackle to make this podcast with all of you would be un. He's gonna say, ah! He's gonna say, ah! It's speaking of honor we are here with a very very special guest. It's me, Google first ever Book One Talkback. First time! Sorry, Apria, I will not be the last salari talkback. But I will be at this the first ever Book One Talkback. I'm so glad we have you in the studio but just as a point of order this is actually not the Book One Talkback. It is the episode 54 talkback. But we do have you here in the studio which is really exciting. Oh no, it's the episode. It's not oh, okay. Well, I got it. I don't know. Don't go near that door. Don't go near that door. Close that door. It's fine. It's fine. I'm here. I took a break. You know, Panama will be continued. I'll continue scrolling in the near future. Speaking of scrolling, my god, the stuff we have coming up for you guys on the Patreon and on the podcast writ large. For those that are here in the hoopla and the hoot nanny celebrating the end of Book One, baby, we got so many exciting things on the way. We got tons of celebration coming to you with not only this talkback about episode 54, the grand finale. But also a public Book One, the entire all four arcs all together, chat, chat it about. We'll try to make it a little beefier so that we don't short-shrift chapter four. But we will be talking about the entire adventure chapter four and previous and the whole summary of this. For friends by the fire side, we will have a producers chat with our very own Taylor Moore to talk about light motif composition music. The music of the spheres, the heavens. Why do vibrations communicate information cosmically? Interesting question. And we deserve answers. And I also, and that's just a fun celebration of Book One. We got some NPC playlists coming your way that I've created. And now that I'm not keeping any more secrets about what people's deals are. That you know of maybe keeping secrets for book two. But don't do that, brother. That's a little like immediate future fun that we're going to be having together on the Patreon. But let us look, I think, to the horizon. I'm looking at some very accomplished game masters here. And I'd like to hear a little bit about what we've got cooking for our friends for all of the, we're putting the S in worlds beyond number here. Let's start with Erica. Tell us anything about what we got cooking up for, for right after, for coming this fall for people. That's right. After our celebration of Book One of the Wizard of the Witch in the Wild one, we are moving for a brief moment into the space of mystery and thrilling adventure with a game by me as the GM, Erica, for hint exclamation mark is what we are calling it. I don't know. I think is it time to announce the game system? Yes. Yes, it is. Okay. Well, don't tell anyone. We have to tell them because it's so great. So far, Erica has GMed a game called Roll for Shoes. And Roll for Shoes is for those who are fans of a county affair is a lovely, I'd say it's a rules light system. One day it's like not even a page. Not even a page. And so when Erica was going to come up at bat again for GM, we said, oh my God, are we going to get, are we going to get even crunch? Like, like, we've done the rules light. Maybe we're going to play something crunchy. Maybe we're going to go and play gherps. Maybe we're going to play some ancient, yeah, table for days. But instead I said, let's use the game system of clue. We're going to play clue. Everyone only we're going to modify it. So it even has less rules than that. You know, it's a very role play heavy. It is essentially navigating based on the traits that the of the characters and a lot of it's it's it's almost larp like if you will. I you know in my in my dream of dreams perhaps one day will play something like this, you know, all in costumes. I like costumes. But in this case, yes, we will be moving from room to room trying to solve the mystery of who done it. There will not be any dice rolls, but there will be sort of all the other traditional trappings of figuring out who done it. Yeah, it's so exciting to take a board game and go, no, no, no, you don't understand this is now an RPG. It is the most when Erica pitched it. I was like, I was like, this I'll get I love it. I love challenge. And I let's get let's get into it. We had so much fucking fun. The I will say the the the actual like the mystery at the heart of this. It's so good. That's why they call them Erica John Grisham, E.C.E. That's why they call it is. They do say your can you your pelican briefed everyone consider your pelican brief with consent. It's it's so goddamn exciting. It's so so so fun. I cannot wait. And then yes, so that's going to be a fun series. That was that was an absolute blast. And after that, Lou. Yes, well, we're soon to be recording the first ever episode of nachos since which I think it's just going to be a real hoot. We're going to eat nachos and talk about no, I'm also running something. I'll be running something next week for all of us that is a little action adventure using the system star wars 5 E. And it is called the flight of the Icaran or the flight of the Icaran will decide. Oh, that's cool. Maybe it's a regional dialect thing like a carry on is fun because I like the carry on like that sort of vulture sense. Yes, the carry on it like it votes airport. Oh, I was like, carry in bird like eating dead meat. Oh, it was immediately speaking carry on like smaller suitcase. Like love. We like optionality. This is like if Icarus had his wax wing melt and then a bunch of other. Creighton youths saw him fall to his death and then went and ate his bones. Yeah, which I think they did. Tough. That's a tough beat. Huge part of my campaign. He was like a massive spoiler. I was like a little baby bell. I'm like, break the wax and then you eat the little cheese inside. I'm going to be honest. Lou as ever is is demuring about how fucking sick this can be is going to be. I the when he. Oh no. I'm so sorry. Oh, God. Sorry. The the when Lou started talking about the like crunchy like sci-fi science behind this setting. I got so fucking amped my jaw dropped. It's very like the timeline. The timeline of the technology in the world is what got me jazzed. Yeah, that has affected everything else. But let's be clear. All right. I'm taking us kind of just relatively from earth to like you know near the moon in the new year. Bang. We go beyond. Straight to just the moon this time. I'm just the moon. Afria wants to give you the cosmos. Look, we're we're ever expanding outward. We were on a planet. Then we were in near space. And then we're going to the deep space. 2026 baby. So I would say if if a carry on doesn't work out. Lou Wilson, Colin, just the moon is. Is not a bad. That's like your first comedy hour. Just the moon. I don't need the stars. I'll take just the moon. I'm not going to lie. I got. I got more stressed out about you talking about us eating nachos together. That I have ever been stressed out by any game. Because I was like, do I have the cheese? You guys can't wait for nachos since everyone. Everyone's dying for nachos. But even inside of everything else that we're doing, we're not actually done with you more yet. Oh, no. Wait, what? What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? There will also be some lovely little interludes in Umora scattered throughout the fall before we get to our next long form campaign. Let's go. We just had character create a big character generation session. Can we get some little stuff about it? Can we do something? Today is for the finale. The future is for the future. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. For everybody's guys, I love my little guys. Everyone's got to be so good. Okay, everyone, shut up about space. Okay. Back to the world. Oh, so we had the finale episode and Brian and I promised to tell us everything about steel, everything, every lingering question, every, every doubt. It all is coming out. And that's where this little preview stops, dear listener. Hello, producer Taylor here. And to sum up, yes, you heard right. Our feed will not be going cold, but instead remains the white hot pipe of high pressure audio art that you're used to without missing a beat to sum up. We've got not one, but too many series coming at you this fall hit from our beloved Erica E. She and the flight of the Eccaryon from Lou Wilson, his first time in the GMC. My boy sent me his sci-fi style historical timeline yesterday. And folks, let me tell you, it puts the mid-century masters to shame. Eat our shorts, Robert Highland. Finally, we're taking it to that old crank and we'll have more than one mysterious interlude with new characters set in entirely new locations within the world of Umora. When will those interludes come out? No, perhaps it's a surprise, dear listener. Though may have you looked for the first one when the veil between the world's gross thin and spirits walk amongst the mortals, but I dare say no more, no goooore! Anyway, listen, and also we'll be having, of course, multiple talk-backs, discussions about the music and sound design of the Wizard of the Witch in the Wildwood, which I personally am very excited for. And then we begin a Bria's first long form campaign with a sci-fi space opera that's going to melt your earballs out of your head. Did you know you had those? You do for a few more months and then they're melted in God. Sorry not, sorry, one more thing. One more thing, okay. I'm recording this, this matches to you. I'm recording on Sunday, August 17th and tomorrow on Monday. I start work on assembling our first original soundtrack for the Wizard of the Witch in the Wildwood, which we are hoping to release before the holidays. And folks, we've got a crazy plan. Listen to me. I've been looking at the data and we think if we time it right and you, our listeners and our patrons, are amenable to the idea and you stand with us. We think that we can get the Wizard of the Witch in the Wildwood soundtrack to the top of the Billboard charts. I'm not kidding. Ben St. Boone, we're coming for you and hell's coming with us. More on that soon fam, stand by. In the meantime, if you haven't joined us by the fireside yet, now is the perfect time to do so. This very fireside chat is I think one of the best they've ever recorded. I'm not kidding. Brennan's conversation about steel is a masterclass in character and just writing and kind of everything. And we also get a ton of never before heard insight into how Lou thinks about playing as a player performer when we talk about that final scene. You know the one I mean. And yes, obviously they talk about the great bear and what he's got going on down below the belt. Now combining hybrid lowbrow folks, we're the first to do it and we do it so well. And who knows what other surprise wonders await you behind that very affordable door of ivy at patreon.com slash worlds beyond number or just like everybody else is going to do it. Google it. You know what I'm talking about. All right, look fam, we're just getting started dear listener. Come with us if you want to live and I'll see you by the fireside. So crackle.
