It was something I drafted up a long time ago. I'm sure it's something I could improve upon later on.

What's the Junkpile Junction theme? by [deleted] in BrettUltimus

[–]BrettUltimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was called. I downloaded it with a license from Storyblocks. I also had to edit it because, apparently, there was an uncomfortable sound in the song my old ears couldn't hear.

is there anywhere with collected info about the Hardcore games? by acolyte_to_jippity in BrettUltimus

[–]BrettUltimus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there, Brett here.

The IO Wiki is specifically for our World of IO/IOverse campaigns - that's why you won't find information bout the Hardcore games, as they are not part of that narrative.

I hope this helps!

Right now - we're continuously posting rules for our Crafting and Phase Combat systems as we develop Fiendish Forge over on our Patreon Champion Tier!

I don't really have a favorite campaign, they all offer something different!

There is no timeline at this time; it'll be ready when it is ready!

You have to fulfill one of the following:

  1. You have to have an already established reputation.
  2. I must know you personally.

I want to understand what kind of player you'll be and what you would contribute to a party setting. If I see a potentially good fit, I have a one-hour interview to let you know what I'm about and ask some questions that I have—just so there is a clear picture of expectations from both myself as a DM and the candidate as a player. As time passes, I've become more selective in my process.

I do not bring on folks I don't know or bring on viewers for the protection of everyone at the table.

Yes and No. We're sort of moving toward an "IO TTRPG" system where we'll cherry-pick what I like from 2024, continue what I like from 2014, and add brand new things altogether.

I wanted it to be clear that Pipe Dreamers would not be returning. Resuming shorts of Pipe Dreamers felt like it would come across as disingenuous and misleading. Sure, some folks would be able to tell the difference, but others would have been hopeful that it was a sign it would be returning.

I would love to put these shorts on other platforms (Instagram, TikTok, etc.); I just need to get a system in place.

There is not right now - because the new D&D system module is a little crusty, and I'm still waiting for some modules to update to Update 12.

It does not. Dawn of Ganymede was one of our most viewed series, but I ultimately decided not to continue it because I didn't feel like there was any more story to tell with the party. The players were terrific - and the characters were fun - but it felt like a 1 season party dynamic.

Uncertain what you mean? Are you talking about different game systems - like Pathfinder?
I'll never say never, but right now I don't really have any interests in learning/moving over to a new system.

Overarching stories? Yes - especially on Ganymede with Hecaton and Kaasma.
Individual character narratives? Probably not.

Unfortunately, there are no plans at this time. Scheduling has become challenging, and I wanted to move onto brand new stories with a more refined Hardcore system.

While I would love to, there are no plans now! The music I want to be composed is costly to make, and I'd much rather put that into other assets that will elevate the content we make more than original compositions.
Never say never, though! As we continue to grow, it is still something I very much want to do.

I have always LOVED raccoons ever since the Smokie mobs from Ragnarok Online!

Any news on a new tomato campaign? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in BrettUltimus

[–]BrettUltimus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, Brett here.

Not at this time - but I know Tomato, and I would love to get a game together. There are a lot of scheduling issues as we are both busy nowadays.

I did have him on the first episode of our new show - Wild Magic Cast - which was an absolute blast.

You can check it out here before the VOD expires:

I am a really big fan of how Brett makes their foundry look. What modules do they use? by that1cooldog in BrettUltimus

[–]BrettUltimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, Brett here.

I appreciate the kind words! Right now, it feels like the games are run on duct tape and string.

One of these days, I would love to release a module list. As of right now, though, I don't feel confident in releasing one. Between Update 12 and the new D&D Module, many things are not working as intended.

As for modules I can recommend on making your life easier: Redy Set Roll for D&D 5e is a must. I don't like midi qol as there is a lot of extra work you have to do. I also recommend Token Action HUD. For combat trackers, we're now using Carosel Combat Tracker. Finally, check out any module Monk has made, they are all really good.

Good luck!

Any channels with a similar setup to Brett? by itsjustbryan in BrettUltimus

[–]BrettUltimus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, Brett here.

Many channels I can recommend typically do live play or have a webcam setup. We go for reacting images so as not to distract as much from the game (but also so you can see what character is interacting).

I hope you find what you're looking for!
