[PUBLIC EPISODE] HINT!: ep2 "Hate the Player"

As blood pools upon the thick pile of the Boddie Estate's imported rug collection, our players, and the game, are afoot. Bodies on the move in voluminous pants and long, dark secret hallways. Revelations and aspersions fill the air of the mansion like fingers between the keys of a grand piano, like a sky-darkening murmuration of starlings, as our heroes begin to uncover the culprit behind this m...

The Notes We DID Play: A Look Back at the Music of Book One with Brennan and Taylor

Horns! Horns! Horns for everyone! You get a horn and YOU get a horn! We all get horns down here! Today we are taking a long walk through the thick woods of the music of Book One of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One. Join Brennan and Taylor as they revisit the themes, motifs, and theory behind the sounds behind the show, talk about the secrets they've held since episode one, confirm once and for all the interconnectedness of all being, and tease just a tad, a tad of a tease, of what's co...

Fireside Chat for HINT! ep1 "Let the Boddie Hit the Floor"

For Patrons Only: The mystery begins, but don’t worry, our cast came prepared with totally sensible D&D builds. Miss Whyte’s a knife-catching monk, Professor Plumb is an artificer with a sweet tooth, and Mr. Greene… well, let’s just say his “Verdant Blast” involves hurling a full potted money tree straight at your head. Gunfire, Gatsby vibes, and a rope made of human hair — this first night at the Boddie Estate already feels like it’s one Meteor Swarm away from total disas...

Ep54, Book One Finale, Dropping this Afternoon

What it says in the title. If I could choose one word to sum up the Book One Finale, it would be: robusto. Pouring lube into my computer to help it pass like a kidney stone, or a weird baby. See you soon, my beautiful friends! You're gonna go bananas over this one. <3 Taylor

Picture unrelated. Maybe.

From Sky to Silver: Suvi's Letters, part 2

[SPOILER ALERT for Arc 4 of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One]

Patrons, as promised, here are the contents of Suvi's second letter.

For the Wizard Silver's eyes only, sent from Suvi to her citadel colleagues on the eve of the Battle of Twelvebrooks, and carried forth by a most unusual fleet: liberated demons of wizards' ink.

For those of us using screen readers or those who might have trouble parsing Suvi's excellent hand, a plain text file is attached below.

Remember this when you wake up: The greedy, hungry awful things. Some small part of you will miss them. The lost letters, the old home movies, the people you put on the same path as you, the dumb and silent stars of the southern sky. One last show, and then I can't be here. Don't ever let me forget this: who to kiss, and who to kill.

Carl Sunshine, standing on a sand bar, two dog legs, inviting you to fly with him, from here to pre-baby Heaven. THIS, is Fireside Chat.

(Editor's Note: At the beginning of this episode Erika says that we are in the "falling action" part of the story. Reader, we very much are not. This was a speaking typo: a speak-o. Erika will be sending every listener a cashiers check for $3.50 in compensation for the speak-o. We hope this puts the matter "to bed.")

To make the new world, to free tomorrow from the clutches of not done, we must bury the old world, shove ourselves inside the bone white sand, and there meet ourselves and everyone we have known. A wizard in her tower, oh let down your hair. A wild one, his one foot out the door of the prison cell.

Gooooooood morning, Sunday Morning. It's hot as hell outside and that means AMBIENT HORROR and CRYSTALLINE HYPOTHESES.
