In this episode, I delve into the latest developments from our Fallout tabletop RPG actual play series, “Tales from Tomorrow, Under the Mothman’s Embrace.” As your Overseer, I share some critical updates and reflections from the past couple of weeks, during which we faced a notable pause in streaming. This break stemmed from various life circumstances, including technical tribulations for our player Sky, who recently had to replace his laptop. Alongside that, we took a moment to celebrate birthdays, all while gearing up for an exciting transition to the Forge and Foundry system

.In a more serious tone, I address some troubling experiences within our gaming community. Specifically, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I found myself abruptly removed from the Wild Wastelanders Market alongside others. This change was precipitated by a chilling shift in community dynamics that, in my view, prioritized profit over the safety and well-being of its members. I feel it’s vital to highlight that this community, which should be a sanctuary for allies against racism and bigotry, has shown itself to be complicit in harassment rather than protective. I encourage anyone engaged with that group to reconsider their involvement, as it’s clear that the leadership is more interested in their financial bottom line than in fostering a supportive environment.As we navigate these challenges, I also reflect on my commitment to authenticity and my belief in standing firmly against oppression in all its forms. This episode serves not only as a chronological update but also as a rallying call for integrity and solidarity within our gaming circles. I recognize the importance of being proactive and vocal as allies, rather than merely passive supporters. For those interested, I announce new discount codes available for the Bethesda Gear shop, serving as an opportunity to save while also supporting creators who align with our values.

Shifting to the technical aspects of the last episode, I discuss our venture into the Foundry platform, highlighting its advantages over our previous VTT, Alchemy. The transition has been largely positive, allowing for a more fluid gaming experience. I extend my gratitude to community members like Neri who have provided invaluable assistance during this shift. Furthermore, I acknowledge the simultaneous challenges we face, including plumbing issues in my office that have added to the complexity of recent weeks. Despite these obstacles, I am excited about the future, including upcoming Vault Broadcast interviews and a reinvigorated commitment to engaging with Fallout 76 multiple nights a week.I conclude with a candid plea for accountability and reflection from fellow gamers, particularly those who may hold privilege. This moment tests our resolve; we must choose to stand against bigotry of all types and reject complacency. The urgency of this message resonates deeply with me, and I urge you all to engage thoughtfully with these issues. As we forge ahead, let’s maintain our focus on creating a community that values inclusivity, authenticity, and proactive resistance against hate. Until next time, stay vigilant, and let’s navigate this wasteland together.
