[PATREON EXCLUSIVE VIDEO] A Home At Last!
2025 was a huge year for us. Thanks to you, we finally have a real home.
The days of chugging coffee around a folding table in an Airbnb are officially over. We now have a studio built and designed with care — a space that actually suits our needs, lets us use the right equipment, and gives us room to level up for the future.
We wanted to share a little tour of the space with you, to help us wrap up the year together. Click here to watch the Patreon exclusive video!
This studio came to life thanks to the incredible work of Taylor Frost, Zak Klapperich, Joe Kidawski and Skye Jackson, with guidance from our consultant James Vincent, who designed the full technical setup. And our Director of Operations, Melanie Bowman, flexed her interior design skills to transform the space from beige industrial to a moody, jewel-toned oasis.
Looking ahead, we’ve got big plans. More video. More recording. More experiments. More stories. More content in general — all made possible because we finally have a space that can grow with us.
None of this would exist without your support, your patronage, and this truly special community. Thank you for helping us build something real.
And one last thing — if you’d like to contribute fan art that we can put up on the studio walls, please send it to worldsbeyondnumber@gmail.com. We would love to make this space feel even more like home.
We hope you enjoyed the milestones of this year — the end of Book 4, comedies, murder mysteries, special merch, beautiful animatics, and so much more. We collaborated with some truly amazing artists. We showcased our friends. We stretched our wings into video. We hired our first full-time employee. And all of it is setting us up for 2026 to be an even bigger, better year.
We cannot wait for you to hear Flight of the Icaron, with GM Lou Wilson, starting January 6 — followed by our next big game, SOLARI, run by Aabria Iyengar. We’re taking to the skies, and it’s going to be epic.
You can expect the same bi-weekly bonus content by the fireside, and hopefully even more surprises and goodies up our sleeve. We have so much in the works, and we cannot wait to show you!

congrats y'all!!!
Nothing like a home and center to create from - thank you so much for making these stories happen before yours was set up! May your coffee never run out ☕️ that is my blessing to you all (including unseen staff who are also much beloved!)
Hungover on a long bus ride to see family (yay xmas) and getting emotional that the gang have got gaff 😍😭
So I’m avoiding my graduate finals and I ask chatGPT the difference between elk, moose, stag, deer…my mind is blown😂😂😂. Deer=is the umbrella term (family) for moose, elk, red deer white-tailed deer and reindeer (caribou). Stag=adult male deer (red) and the female is called Hinds. Elk=found in North America but in older European text the term could mean 🫎 moose. Moose=largest deer species
how can you be a fan of this particular show and willingly use chatgpt
So excited for yall!
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so happy for you guys
Congratulations on the amazing space! So happy to see a bit of the future of storytelling.
A campfire on wood flooring? Bold. 🏕️
ASDFGHJKL HOLY SHIT YEEEEESSS THE MONEYS DID A THING :DDDD!!!!
Yayy the team has a home base!! Loved seeing it tyty
To think…none of this would have been possible with my 5€ in particular. You’re welcome guys!
I legitimately have never been more proud to see a group grow like this. I'm over here like "Yep, that's my Patreon dollars doing good work!" Supporting art like this genuinely feels amazing.
My coworker gave me a small birthday gift today: a crocheted pink salamander. I got larval Cram Daniel for my birthday and I am ecstatic. Desperately wish I could post pictures in my comments here.
MORE VIDEO LETS GOOOO WE WIN
Wow that studio is *gorgeous* what a treat to see it!
Brennan and Erika's beautiful songs...
This really cheered me up on a difficult day so thank you for that. Proud to be a supporter from the get go and so very chuffed for you all. The studio looks awesome; a space that will serve, enable and inspire you going forwards. Super stuff. Spiffing. (Sorry, bit British.). It’s so heartening to see your enthusiasm and excitement! Can’t wait for all that’s to come. Happy holidays to you all. X.
...has anyone else noticed the similarities between Mirara and the Junk Mother?
💚🎉🥳🎉💚
Proud to have supported since the start to see such amazing things being created with such a bright future ahead. Kudos and congrats to you all and thanks for your work.
SOLARI is the official name? Can’t wait for another world from WBN to be obsessed with 😂🤩 Wish I could send y’all some fanart, but it’s mostly fan-crafts instead…can’t send through email, haha
Ooooohh yayyy!
Sending some fanart your way! One you’ve already seen…and hopefully in the next few weeks I can send another one when I finish it! Absolutely love the studio guys!
Love the new space and love that YOU love it!
That’s amazing!!! Congratulations on your new home. What a delightful video.
Congrats on the studio space you all!!! It's been so, so cool watching WBN grow and expand over the last few years. I look forward to basking in each world and story you and your team share with us in all the years ahead, like Flight of the Icharon and then the new sci-fi book! Always been a big sci-fi lover, can't wait to meet everyone's characters 💛
Congratulations y’all! I’m happy you have an inter-dimensional home for the all the worlds and all the firesides :)
This space looks phenomenal!!! It's the best feeling in the world to find a home to make the things you want to make, congratulations!! Proud to have been a small part of it :) (also i just want to come and like hang out here with you guys the vibes look amazing)
So fucking happy that y’all have made your wonderfulness manifest into a physical space for you to continue to tell phenomenal stories. Hell yeah!
Y'all, not to get all parasocial on you, but your storytelling means so much to me. I was laid off on 12/1 (the day after my birthday no less) and canceled a bunch of recurring charges while I look for work. This Patreon is the only one I kept because your storytelling is a bright spot in my days. I love it when cool people make cool shit, and it's successful. Keep up the great work! <3
I feel the same way! 💜 WBN is beyond compare (Also, best of luck in your job search!)
So is the AirBNB just for Brennan and his American Girl Doll Shoes now? BTW, kick ass studio!
it looks amazing !!!!
oh it looks so cozy, thrilled for you all!
This is amazing!! Congratz!
Heyyyy! That’s the Clue FX I gave to Erika!!! It actually made it to the studio, that’s so freaking cool 🥰🥰🥰
Thank youuuuu!!!
I'm stoked for you all! It's gonna be a gooooood year =D
Awww from camp to home 🏡
My longtime wish of finally getting to hear Lou Wilson himself—the man, the myth, the legend—GM at long last, has finally been answered! Jan 6th can’t come fast enough! And Aabria campaigns are always a wild delight! :D What a way to kick off the new year! Here’s to y’all’s success and much more to come!
So excited to see Brennan as a PC in a long campaign, so excited to see Aabria as a GM in a long campaign, so excited for 2026!!! You guys rule the world(s)
Ahoo hoo! What a lovely home. It’s a sweet birthday gift for me to see you three enjoying the new space, those amazing doors, and that deliciously jewel toned oasis. Here’s to another year and many more worlds to come!
Happy birthday to you!! 🎉
CONGRATS!!! WELL EARNED!!
So excited for the new space and what y’all will create here!!
Crying!!! So proud and happy for you all and this amazing venture, and so grateful to be even a small part of it ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome news folks! Wishing y'all the best during the holidays and new year! Can't wait to hear about the Icaron
So sick
Looks great! Would love more video content! I would also be obessed with magnetic doors 😆
Your guys are just so friggin’ cute. Happy holidays from all of us.
So excited about what WBN has is store for us!!
Congratulations, y’all! The studio looks incredible. A fitting space to a-hoo-hoo and crackle, crackle. Truly the warmest fireside there is. Here’s hoping for a WBN version of the Yule log in 2026!!
Amazing! I seriously want that neon sign!
I like to think that I've contributed, like, one table leg's worth of furniture to the new space.
I love it, it's so beautiful!! And that neon sign is amazing
YAY! I bet that wall will be filled with art post haste! Wish I was better in 2d art, are you open to non wall hanging art?
That’s fantastic!! So glad y’all have a space that’s yours! Your stories have been a rock to cling to during a chaotic time for me. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!
Yay!! A studio! We love the air bnb days and we'll love the studio days even more. I'm so happy to be a small part of the beautiful, insane, imaginative wild ride you all are making. Thank you for bringing a short respite of joy and make believe every week. 🧡
So frickin jazzed for the first story in studio!!!!!
Where do I sign up to be full time employee #2? Ready to throw away my professional technology career just to help make this amazing magic happen every day.
Been a patron since launch, so happy to see this troupe grow to new heights! Can wait to spend a life time with your stories!
Does this mean actually videos to go along with the podcasts?
Question: Have you guys considered offering a visual experience of at least the combats? Nothing like physical battle maps as those can be expensive, but maybe a virtual tabletop? If so I would recommend Shard Tabletop (for D&D) all of their tools for game masters and players are free and works great for creating homebrew material.
So incredibly proud of y'all and ecstatic for the things you will create with this space. Let's go 2026!
Congratulations, this is an amazing space! Cannot wait to see what is created there, thank you for making 2025 so magical!!
Congratulations 🎉
I watched the video before reading the post and thought: WAIT where's the fan art wall?? So glad that's in the works, the artists in this fandom are in-CREDIBLE.
Y'all are just killing it and if the joy (and home-table vibes) your storytelling gives me is shared by all your fans (and I'd wager it is,) I can't even imagine what's in store for you and for us and it's just exciting to get to be a part of this. Cheers to a next year as full and fun as this one. Glad to see you succeeding and loving the hell out of what you do!
Congratulations!
Hell yeah! So excited for y'all, and excited for me, too! Can't wait to listen to your next stories. Congrats on the milestones, y'all!
I'm so excited for 2026! The new studio looks amazing!!
How exciting! Can't wait for Flight of the Icaron and Solari 💚
you made a holodeck!!!
hell yeah
I’m so excited that yall are finally in a studio but does this mean no Fireside today😕
Truly a wonderful thing yall created in these harrowing times. Thank you for continuing to create things for us ✨️
THE STUDIO LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Book 4?! That’s out already?!
Moving on up!!!!! Hurray studio!!! Is there a name for the studio, possibly "The Campground" as it is more permanent than the AirBnB camps of previous campaigns??
Oo I hope so!
Does this mean no recording in a cabin in the woods??
That is gonna be amazing! A real life studio! Gonna be filled with so many trinkets.
Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥰
Congrats!!! Definitely gotta work on some fanart to send you!!
A-hoo-hoo! Spackle spackle?
Nice!
