Mid June Update
Greetings Friends, Fans, & Family
It's so difficult to believe that it is already June. 2020 has been a year like no other, and we're only at the halfway point. While we miss what 2020 could have been (so long, planned holidays), we have so much more to do, and it's creating great things that keep up going. So, we have some updates for you!
We have reached over 3,000 subscribers on our YouTube channel!
We started uploading to YouTube to help people unfamiliar with podcasts find our shows. We recently got a shout out from YouTuber Austin McConnell, and it helped boost our numbers and really kickstart our YouTube game. The YouTube page is behind on episodes and we are uploading one episode from our backlog each week, and our podcast RSS feeds are still the best places to find our shows. But, if you're looking to share the Fool & Scholar love with someone, YouTube may be a great first place to send them, as it can be easier than trying to send someone an RSS.
Also, did you know that you can convert our Patreon feed into an RSS?
Liberty: Deception --- Volume 3
Volume 2 has been out digitally for a few weeks and we're already almost done with color touchups on Volume 3. We are pushing back the release to August as our Pride Month event took up more of our bandwidth than expected. What can we say about Volume 3? It will introduce a new protagonist & one-man faction known as THE MANY (seen above). It will also see our band of misfits in conflict with the Dark Kin (who you may know from Critical Research). More art and information will be released as we get closer to August.
Liberty: AFTER
We are currently working our way through the final update for Liberty: AFTER. In addition to a number of expanded special rules, there will also be a LOT of new artwork. On this topic, we want to know if you have a favorite character from the Liberty universe (besides the Archon) as we work on our list of proposed NPC's.
Operation: Entertainment
VAST Horizon - Season Two is underway, with two episodes out so far. Each episode takes over 50 hours of behind-the-scene work bring to life (in editing / sound design alone), and we are hard at work to stay on schedule.
The White Vault: Iluka - Part 7 releases this week, and Part 8 is on the schedule for release two weeks after that.
Dark Dice - Seen above, Kaitlin and Eezo are beginning work on Story 2 of Dark Dice... It's going to be longer than Domain of the Nameless God. As far as regular production goes, our Pride Month celebration 'Tiefling in the Details' is still under way! So be sure to vote, take part in our artist commission auction, and our masterful GM auction! You and a few friends can even play a game run by Travis Vengroff (which can be D&D or Liberty based). Regular episodes of Dark Dice will continue in July.
Legend of The Boar Knight - We got a lot of likes on our post about our new project, but we would love to hear more from you about it as well! Does a silly fantasy musical interest you? Are you prepared to go on adventures across the world with a band of merry mice and a boar? And on a more serious note, do you ever have times in your life when you want to listen to something...but children are in the room...?
The White Vault: Season 4 - Kaitlin has completed the outline and begun to write the scripts! She is excited, and tired, and needs more tea, but it's all going smoothly. Well... as smoothly as a season of The White Vault can go. We've been a bit radio silent about it because it's been poor timing to announce, but feel free to send a kind comment her way.
From the Fool, the Scholar, and the Pup,
-Travis & Kaitlin (& Eezo)

Thanks for the exciting updates! I just joined Patreon this week so I could support you guys! You write and produce fantastic podcasts.
Thank you for your kind words, and thank for you joining us. Welcome to the Patreon club!
This is all wonderful news. I’m patiently waiting for more of the White Vault and Dark Dice and curious to see how the Boar Knight turns out.
How did you know I was hyped as hell and needed updates lol? Also not to be creepy, but I saw the Elephant Origins tea mentioned. You wouldn’t happen to have gotten it from Happy Lucky’s? (It’s the only place I’ve heard of it is all)
We actually met the Elephant Origins people at a Tea Festival in Portland last year! Got us hooked on their tea and their mission. :)
Thanks for the update. (citrus green tea, ginger peach oolong, and chai are some of my favorite teas)
Fellow tea drinker! Kaitlin, what is your favorite kind of tea?
Yes! Simple high quality teas of any variety except blends. No sugar, no milk, just tea. Currently drinking Elephant Origins Black Assam.
Thanks for the update, guys. I'm new here and I'm thrilled to have found you all. I'm only a few eps away from being caught up on White Vault. I hate it when I get caught up. Anyway, sending love from Chicago your way!
The two of you seem to have the energy of at least 10 regular humans. Does Eezo help out?
He cheerleads and sometimes sings for us
Also “yay for all things White Vault related!”
For the bits that you asked for feedback on, how do you want the feedback? Comments? Discord?
We'll take any! Here is fine
Quick tip for Kaitlin: Green tea(no sugar) helps me out when I am tired of my work 🙂
I can tell you I am an avid tea drinker and green tea really does hit the spot after a long day of work. -K
