An Update on What's To Come Over the Next Few Months
Hey folks! I hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on what I've been working on over here and what you can expect out of the Archive over the next couple of months.
First, I wanted to THANK YOU all for making the Pale Lodge Merch Collection launch such a huge success. It had been a good long while since I tried to do anything merch-related, and it was extremely encouraging to see how well received the collection was. It was a sorely needed win following the YouTube debacle, and it's gotten me fired up to do more. There will be another (much smaller) limited drop coming in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for info on that as I get it together!
Next, on the publication front: I've been working hard on the strider's guide, but I've had all sorts of crazy ideas while I've been building it, and it's ballooned into a much larger publication than I initially thought it would be. I'm really excited about where it's going, and I think you guys are going to love it... but I've decided that I want to take the time to do it REALLY right. As such, it's going to take a little longer to get out, but fret not - I've got something else cooking that will hopefully tide you guys over until the full guide comes out. The first Pale Lodge Contract Catalog (final name TBD) will be coming out sometime in the next couple of weeks, and I can't wait to share it with you all. The Contract Catalog is going to be a collection of 24 DETAILED pale lodge contracts that cover everything a hunter might need to embark on a journey to slay a god (or something smaller). It's going to be part lore drop and part collection of playable TTRPG modules - every contract will include random encounter tables and 5E/mork borg compatible stat blocks for both the contract target and any other things a hunter might run into on their adventures. 5E/MB compatible stats will also be included for all contract rewards. About half of these will be expanded versions of already opened contracts that have been featured in published videos, and half of them will be brand new. The goal here is to get you guys something both interesting and useful, equal parts lore and playable adventure. It will also delve a bit into the Pale lodge itself, and finally answer some long-open questions (how does lethality rating work anyhow?). In any case, I can't wait to share this with you folks. It's looking like it will be somewhere in the 75 -90 page range (though this could change), and I'll likely be pricing the PDF eBook somewhere around $9.99 - print price TBD. Curator tier members and above will be getting the opportunity to download the PDF version for free, as part of the revised tiering benefits, while everyone else will be getting a discount code to use on the eBook version!
Finally, on the Patreon front - I've started the process of getting ALL archive content on here. Bear with me, this will take a little while, but I want EVERYONE that's here to be able to access EVERYTHING in one place. Stay tuned, I will be sparing you guys the email blast every time i get a new video piece up, but I will be letting you guys know when each collection (pale lodge, patchwork city, bestiary, etc.) is up to date.
Okay, that's all for now. Thanks so much for your time and attention folks, and remember to always stride safe!
With gratitude,
Your Head Curator

I can see many types of Liminal Spaces but i dont know how enter in the other dimensions, you can help me?
The Pale Lodge Contract Catalog sounds great. Can you include an ePub file as well? Thank you.
Hey, I’m new to the patreon and am so excited to be here. I’m so glad that 5e material will be available for a playable adventure ever since I saw my first Archive in Between video I wanted to play a campaign using it. Looking forward to purchasing the material. And thank you curator for creating such a wonderful world for all of us to enjoy ❤️
Question: When are you going to post your next longform video?
The Liminal Lodge approves. Fotamecus is. fwiw, Fensquatch would love a patch for the Pale Lodge and the Patchwork City.
Found this on iFunny and really really enjoyed it! Glad I can get access to more. Keep up the good work! 👌🏻
You know, on your TikTok, one of your oldest videos was remade on YouTube as “who built the citadels?”. I’m thinking you should start remaking your oldest stuff back when you still did slideshows!
One of them was called something like “Under the Water”. I really liked that one!
I really love how creative the Archivist is. I really enjoy what you've done so far and look forward to seeing more
Hey! I just bought a membership and all your stuff is still locked! What gives ?!?! You gyped me!
I can't wait to see more from TAIB. I've been hosting a 5e game set in your world for awhile now. Using your YouTube as researching role-play wise is super fun and immersive. Can't wait to see more
Same!
Having everything on youtube and instagram here on Patreon would be amazing 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for the update! I am very excited to see everything coming down the pipe. Have you considered building a lore archive at some point? I feel like it would be a rather huge endeavor though since there are so many lore-rich things already presented.
Will you be adding those Members Only videos from YT like "Out of The Dark", "The Hunters", "The Courier", etc? I'm dying to see those.
Any chance of a Pale Lodge velcro patch in the future? Love the logo and want to add it to my kit bag. Need a discount on their services.
when you get into your 70s the whole wide world sucks, The Archive In Between, however, does not Suck. I can't think of any higher praise.
Stupid question, but where is the merch store?

As someone who has bought both compendiums, I can’t wait to get my hands on something else. This Contact Catalog sounds awesome!!
this is fantastic news on every front! thanks so much for you effort!
Yes!!!! MOAR LORE!
Your mythoverse stories are superb!
As a high tier member I can't wait to get my hands on that pdf. I've specifically been making a document about the lodge. Oh boy!
On YouTube there was a way to search terms for a specific video. I wish patreon was like that
Looking forward to the tabletop RPG. Now I have to find a group of willing participants, but that ain’t your problem. I’m a NY commuter, so I ALWAYS stride safe!
I bought Compendiums 1 & 2, cant wait for this new one! The world you have created is so rich/vast/mysterious/dangerous/ and filled with wonder!!I have so many questions! Anyways... You are The Man! I love the way your brain works. Keep it up homie.
Dear Pale Lodge and Archive in between please make merch available in 3x and 4x for us bigger Striders. I myself can not stride in anything smaller. Thank you.
Playable content? I didn't know that was intended or planned. Just now if I had friends lol
Can't wait!!!
Could not be more excited!!!
I so Greatly Appreciate You! TAIB is my escape from the natural world.
I’ve enjoyed the content so far and the shirts are great. I’m very interested in a hard copy of the Stridors Guide. Easier to carry on…trips.
I'll be looking forward to any printed copies of your work. The compendiums I bought were great and really sparked creativity.
