Just an idiot it turns out lol
Patreon's a bit confusing at first! Let us know if you need help finding something.
I've used the RSS link and all I can find anywhere is the first episode, is it a higher tier that it's available at? I'm new to patreon and completely lost...
not only you
Has Imperial dropped yet, if so I can't find it. I've searched Apple Podcasts and Outcast and nothing.
It's not going to be released publicly, though you can add our Patreon RSS to your favorite podcast app. The next episode releases Wednesday, and they're a weekly release.
Ohhhh! More, please. I heart you guys so much! I'm endlessly fascinated by your stories and how they all tie in together. Kaitlin, you're a goddess! One little note: I did find the background noise level to be higher than I would like. Especially early when the Portuguese interpretation was happening. Looking forward to more Imperial! PS: Can I move in with you guys? I think we would be besties. 😉😁
I wonder how this will tie-in to Svalbard. Will they find subterranean tunnels that connect to the cave system? Or is there a separate colony of eldritch creatures in China? Mayhaps a complete different occurrence to introduce something for season 3... So many possibilities. On a side note, will there ever be artifact replicas as merch?
That's an AMAZING idea... Maybe one day we'll find an artist to partner with on this, but I don't suspect it'd be a wide release.
Wow! This episode was so awesome! The voice acting was spot on. The story is intriguing and I'm very curious to see where this is going to go and how it will tie in with The White Vault. Travis...the sound design is incredible. The hawkers in the bazaar are perfect and they don't overshadow the actors dialog. Kaitlin your writing is so inspired. I don't know where you get your ideas but they are so imaginative and unique. All in all...a great show and a great start to something I know is going to be another hit! I can't wait for the next episode!
Yayyyyyyyy! Excellent episode. I can't wait for the next one!!!
Thank you. The sound design, dialogue and the cast performance are phenomenal. As is the whole episode.
