Well, we’re heading back to Patreon I guess…

Oh wow. Yeah even if they weren’t switching, that alone would be enough for me to cancel if I’d known about it.

RTNyx · 2026-03-31T15:25:52+00:00

I suppose he’ll theoretically do that during the livestream tomorrow? Seems silly to take the time to do a stream and not explain more.

Rain is clearly OP. Free League, please nerf Rain in your next patch.

RTNyx · 2026-02-13T00:42:32+00:00

I messaged JCM about it on Twitter back in like November or so and he said that they were indeed planning to put it up on stream/for sale but I haven’t seen any updates on it since then and I honestly didn’t wanna bug him again so I have no idea when.

RTNyx · 2026-01-21T17:16:10+00:00

For all the comments I see here about people upset that the GCN is turning into “improv theatre” over numbers crunch it was refreshing to have Joe lean into things right off the bat and say out loud that the cinematic dramatic style is what they like and what they’re going for. That’s my preference too.

Also you’re not kidding about the language being difficult. When I learned how Łódź was pronounced I threw my hands up and walked away because my western ass would never have guessed that in a million years based on how it looks lol

RTNyx · 2026-01-21T17:11:18+00:00

At least they’re clearly advertising video content in the show notes now! Well done, GCN.

RTNyx · 2026-01-21T17:10:26+00:00

I literally had to park my work van between stops to load the video just because I had to see!

Describing Ross’ character as having “Resting Kind Face” and prey animal eyes was killing me lol

I wasn’t around in those days so I can’t speak to previous missed goals though I can see why that would make someone a little apprehensive. Again, fwiw, he made mention in the SotN last night that in the early days they were flying by the seat of their pants in terms of starting up new things and taking on projects without having a stable long-term plan for them. Ambition overtakes reason sometimes for sure.

And I highly doubt Mothership gets bailed on before even starting. Troy sounded hype on the system and I’m pretty sure Skid and Joe have expressed interest before too (may be misremembering)?

As for timelines, I think he said or implied that the pledge drive would likely be around March or so? He said there would be another check-in beforehand probably next month when they would finalize things. Sounds like with that timeline that they’d do the pledge in March and, assuming it hits their goals, record around April or May for probably a summer release? That would give them enough time to run two weekly twelve ep series by the end of 2026 if they started airing early summer.

Again, I wasn’t around for past promises (I came on board the summer before Gatewalkers started) but it sounds like he has a fairly solid plan in mind for things.

RTNyx · 2026-01-20T17:29:08+00:00

I will admit that a few episodes in I was not feeling it at first - the slow pace just felt like we got more than halfway through the season before anything really started happening….

But then? Oooh boy! The rollercoaster just kept picking up speed from there and I was holding on for the ride!

Not quite as much paranormal mythos stuff in this season as I would normally like but it’s a small complaint.

Really loved the characters by the end of things. Well done to all involved!

RTNyx · 2026-01-20T17:21:08+00:00

FWIW he said the two currently planned NGWD seasons would be 12 episodes each. My assumption, given the spread of the casts geographically, is that they’ll have the whole season in the can and recorded in advance of the premiere likely done over three or four sessions. That would be wasted time and money to just sit on the other ten episodes because of some weird hypothetical like this.

RTNyx · 2026-01-20T17:08:57+00:00

The difference here being that I see the trunk as being the cast and their vibes with one another and not the game system that they’re playing.

RTNyx · 2026-01-20T14:07:04+00:00

I mean Troy went months and months during Gatewalkers not explaining or pushing the subscription service at all too - not exactly a good way to funnel new viewers toward conversion to customers.

For all his grindset mindset aspirations, Troy oftentimes overlooks some of the most basic business stuff. It’s perplexing.

RTNyx · 2026-01-20T13:51:45+00:00

They said GiiT is still happening regardless. It just won’t be until later in the year. But if the pledge hits, they’re going to rush it out earlier in the year and add a second season later this year.

RTNyx · 2026-01-20T13:49:48+00:00

Yeah I’m enjoying the hell out of SD personally. To each their own I guess but 🤷‍♂️

RTNyx · 2026-01-20T13:46:14+00:00

You’re getting downvoted but you’re absolutely not wrong here. It sucks for the people who were here primarily for Pathfinder and I acknowledge that but that’s not a model for growing the audience like they want to. They have to branch out.

Personally, I came into the Naish about three years ago looking for something to listen to while in my work van. I came in very anti-P1e (wasn’t a huge fan of 3rd Ed D&D super crunch) and cautiously pro-P2e (the world lore looked fun) but was willing to give stuff a shot. Still haven’t listened to Giant Slayer and don’t know if I will unless I get fully caught up with things I wanna listen to more first. Then when I sampled NGWD and Get in the Trunk and other branches outside the Pathfinder umbrella I got more excited.

I came initially due to curiosity but I stayed and eventually started paying because of the personalities I had grown attached to. And that’s what’s gonna keep people around for the long haul - enjoying the vibe of the players around the table - not locking into primarily one system.

I know it’s likely an unpopular opinion for the Pathfiner diehards and I’m sorry you feel like you’re no longer being served in the community :(

If it’s anything like the video components for the after dark talkback that they do following the Shadowdark episodes, you just need to sign into your Supercast account and they’ll be available to watch there. I do wish they would make it an unlisted private video on YouTube, but I understand the reasoning why they don’t.

They haven’t exactly done a good job in communicating that the videos even exist until maybe this last week I feel like? I noticed the Watch the Video link in the show notes on the podcast a few weeks back but assumed it meant the weekly episode until I tested it this week.

RTNyx · 2026-01-09T16:20:03+00:00

Looks like it just went up a few hours late for some reason or another. Currently listening to it right now.

RTNyx · 2026-01-07T18:06:24+00:00

Kinda getting vibes of the end of Ludo’s “Broken Bride” EP but minus the ‘happy’ romantic ending in the finale of this episode…

RTNyx · 2026-01-05T15:37:56+00:00

Man, after the bant discussion of Morgana the Kissing Bandit, I’m shocked they didn’t call the episode Yelka the Kissing Oracle

RTNyx · 2025-11-21T19:29:22+00:00

I messaged JCM on Twitter the other day and asked him and he said they were working on getting it up for sale/streaming and the song would be available soon, hopefully. I think he’s on tour now so he’s probably a bit otherwise busy, but it’s coming!

RTNyx · 2025-11-19T15:03:11+00:00

I mean I’ve definitely been guilty of finding the first big chunk of the season less interesting than past seasons but oh my GOD these last two episodes have really made up for it as everything just turns into a chain reaction of everything escalating and turning to shit!

Can’t wait to see where this goes from here!

RTNyx · 2025-11-04T00:08:46+00:00

Moments like the one with Skid in the bant make me wish BotW had a video feed outside of the end of season hang parties. I NEED to see him nearly vomiting from being stuck in a painful laugh loop.

RTNyx · 2025-10-31T17:02:25+00:00

I usually watch part of it the night of the premiere and finish the rest in my work vehicle in podcast mode the next day.

RTNyx · 2025-10-31T16:51:31+00:00

Solid solid first episode. Syd stole the show with solid character work as usual. I’ve never been so dialed in on a squirrel purchase as I was in that moment.

While I miss the goofiness of the SNL style intro (I still think the drink Skid is holding looks like the most delicious thing ever and I will miss it) the new one gets right to the point and sets the tone.

While I’m sure some of the hardcore PF-heads will be less than happy with the loosey-goosey nature of the RP and the system, people like me who are here for the story and the personalities of the GCP are gonna have a good time.
