Update 01/22 - EP28 out VERY SOON
AY
Wow, I had not realised this update was so late...
I usually have this notification on my phone reminding me that I need to update but it utterly blanked on me this time around. Thank you to uamanowa for reminding me with a comment!
So, EP28 is well on its way. Last week, I finished up the most intense scene in the entire episode and just today I finished up the subtitles. There's still one scene left to complete but most of that scene has already been finished by my fellow editor, VindicareAssassin.
After that, all that's left to do is some post-stuff, find and fix some glitches, add credits and we shall be all good for the first release of the year.
Throughout February, I will be spending my time working on scripts.
I hope you do not mind this, I'd love to release something small if I can but I would like to primarily focus on getting as far in as possible script-wise so I do not have to worry about being behind on script-count for the rest of the year.
I've already spent chunks of January rewriting the TTS Plot-Bible in preparation for February and, fuck, writing scripts is just incredibly fun. Nothing beats it.
My brain gets fully immersed in the text and I cannot escape even hours past the point where I have stopped writing. It's to the point of therapeutic.
I am very happy that I'm granted the chance to spend my time doing this, so big big thanks for that come closer I will stab you with my gratitude.
Oh, also, I have been very bad at responding to comments here on Patreon of late.
This is partly because I am busy but mostly because my short-term memory is absolute garbage.
I am writing this here to coerce myself into responding more often, especially if you actually ask a legitimate question or just, like, write something nice...
And that'll be that for this update.
'Til next time, EP28 should be out. If not, I die.
Have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy the series. Funny that i now and then binge watch the whole thing again.
+1 will wait another year
Wonder when we'll hear about Dorn's angry bois
That episode was worth the wait and more, Alfa. You and everyone else on the TTS crew delivered an amazing episode. Like always, I look forward to what you have planned next.
Absolutely incredible episode!
Amazing episode. It leaves me begging for more. My thermic reactor is pulsating with excitement over the next Bro Trip episode. Also looking forward to seeing what you do with the Pirmaris Space Marines. Reivers are my favorite.
Just watched it and wow you totally subverted my expectations. It was amazing good job.
slight spoiler: just watched the episode, does the emperor view the Custodes as his 'sons' like the Primarchs? if so could one of the Custodes get kitten a "your sons call me daddy too" shirt for his birthday or other gift giving event?
oh my god i just checked up here to see if things were going well and its ALREADY OUT BLESS
Hey Alfa, hope everything is going well. I wanna say thanks to you and everyone else involved in TTS for working so hard on this series. Just say though if you need another bottle of wine from Nurgle's Garden.
I thought in episode 21 papasmurf said the ultra smurfs had blow off the defense of cadia. It was flowed by a comment about Cato trying to attack something he should not have.
In TTS, and this is bloody important, does Cadia stand?
I think it will, because I have a theory that Vulkan and Corax's bro trip is gonna end up with them having a ton of guardsmen regiments with them, and they'll show up at Cadia just in time for the black crusade
In the words of the prominent gamer Herknes Dragonblade, Yeah.
Woo hoo! And hey, we look forward to seeing you around here more!
Thanks for the update! Looking forward to Ep.28, keep on keeping on dude.
By the way, I know when you had started the series, it was in response to the plot stalemate that had more or less dominated 40k’s story for years. How does it effect you and the series now that new lore is being pumped out at the most frequent rate in the longest time? Have you ever had to rewrite an episode because of something that had JUST released that clashed with what was what you had intended based on older lore?
Honestly, TTS wasn't actually intended as a series when I made the first, very bad video. And I am also, ironically, a person who sees 40k less as having a 'plot' as a whole and more as being a setting in which a million million plot-threads are occurring at all times. But with GW introducing a more overbearing narrative and advancing the setting into the future, I've indeed had to include a lot of the things GW has written. I've had fun with it though, Gathering Storm especially. But I also make sure to keep the events of TTS quite malleable between the point where we are at now in script-writing and the events of the last episodes, just so if GW -does- somehow inadvertently screw things up for us with a new lore-element, we can change things around and we'll live. It also helps that TTS is both a satire and a clusterfuck of disparate editions concocted into a singular barely functioning universe and it not making sense at times is entirely justifiable.
Do you miss writing those wrap book parts? I always loved the interactions in those
I'm sorry, the wrap book parts? Could you clarify, I for some reason do not quite know what you're referring to.
Hey Alpha im new to the whole Warhammer scene and im getting into thanks to both you and my college friend who has not stopped going on about it for 3 years 😂 anyway I just wanted to ask you what do you think of the direction that Warhammer is going in narrative wise, I know that many fans of the francise are either not happy or very cautious but I'm new so dont know yet but what about you? Thanks for your awesome work btw, keep it up man
Ay! Glad to hear our combined efforts has launched you into this brand new hellworld. May the fumes of the plastic glue herald your arrival. So, every time GW decides to introduce new elements into their narrative and pushing the setting even further into the future, I, on a personal level, get extremely stressed for a bit. It means I will probably have to work in that particular event somehow into TTS going forward. This is especially bothersome if it happens to be a piece of lore I've personally already started making use of, such as Magnus returning. But then, after I've figured things out on a personal level, I usually don't mind the stuff GW pumps out. Sure, some things can be rather objectionable but most of the problems do not actually lie in the narratives themselves. My personal biggest gripe with 8th ed, for instance, is actually quite minor; moving away from the iconic Aquila-pattern Space Marine helmet and instead using the newer Mark 10 helmet, the Primaris one. While it is reminiscent of the Mark 4 helmet and I understand why they chose it from a lore perspective, the Primaris helmet simply is not as iconic (nor good-looking) in my opinion, and I unironically feel like the transition GW is currently going through having Primaris Marines become the new, mainline Astartes would be made much less painful if they simply had the Primaris Marines wear the helmet that has been iconic to the Astartes aesthetic since 2nd edition.
Regulations say I'll have to bully you if this is another yugioh episode.
No bully. Not this time. Not yet....
Kitten Rules! *stomp stomp*
I hate you for making me decode that 01010110 01101001 01000011 01010100 00110000 01010010 01011001 00100000 01110000 01001000 00110000 01010010 00100000 01010100 00110011 01001000 01101011 00110100 01110000 01110100 00110100 01001001 01101110 00101101 00111001 00110011 01001110 00110011 01110010 00110100 01101100 00100001 crap, btw it says "ViCT0RY pH0R T3Hk4pt4In-93N3r4l!"
Holy fucking lord someone actually did it already I can feel the pain surging through your nerves and into mine
soon??? WANT IT NOWWWWWWWWWW¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I absolutely love the podcasts. Will there be a new podcast?
Yes! I have planned to make the podcasts more fun to make for all of us by just making the subjects escalatingly more ridiculous going forward.
Wooooo. Script writing! Though does this mean plot has evolved? And thank you and everyone who makes TTS, it is a true joy.
Yes, sort of? I mean, I have always had the end goal in mind but everything from the latest episode to the very end I intentionally keep malleable in case we want to change stuff around. I added a whole load of fun stuff, actually had the T'au included in a meaningful way and included a lot of important narrative events that only occurred in the transition from 7th to 8th.
Thanks for the magic you create, aslo i have a question. When is papa smurf waking up?
I thank you right back but, I am sorry, I cannot disclose this at this time, I think it'd be unwise. Can tell you that a character relevant to his return will be coming around next episode though, if that's something of interest?
Thank you for your hard work and dedication o7
RIGHT BACK AT YOU O777777
