    Overseer's Log 18 - A Raven From the Ashes, a TTRPG GM Diary
    Jul 19 2025
    A Raven From the AshesHello, Vault Dwellers and Wastelanders — your Overseer here.I wanted to take a moment to reflect on Episode 18 and all the weird, wonderful, improvised magic that brought it together as well as give updates on the office! As a reminder, we will not have a new episode the week of the 20th, but be sure to follow my other YouTube channel (Overseer Kyle) and our Vault Broadcast podcast as we’ve got new episodes launching next week!Where She Went...Episode 18 saw Raven separated from the crew, waking inside a burnt-out barn — alone, breath shallow, eyes wide — until she found sanctuary the only place a dreamer could: a refrigerator.Yeah. Really.That choice — to crawl in, half-suffocated, as the Mothman beckoned — sent her somewhere few have ever gone: Lantern.It’s a Mothman sanctuary referenced in Fallout 76, but not fully explored. We expanded on it with a twist of Rose Red, the haunted house that builds itself to your fears. What if Lantern wasn’t a place you traveled to physically, but mentally? What if it grew with you?In Lantern, Raven found Brother Charles — not the stuttering, fractured vessel he’s become, but the man he used to be. The one that speaks clearly. The one still whole. That was no accident. That was the version of him who never left the Embrace of the Mothman.Behind the GM ScreenLast week, Sam re-entered the story via a brutal Mothman cult ambush. That worked out great — thanks to a real-world scheduling conflict, we got to write that absence into the story. This week, we did the same with Raven.Mac and I had discussed her fate off-air. Originally? She said she'd go willingly with the Mothman. But after sitting with it, she decided Raven would fight — reject the pull and run. So, we rewound the tape and wrote something better.I love how much creative elasticity this format gives us. It's spontaneous, it's emotional, and it's deeply collaborative. That’s the beauty of tabletop storytelling.The Settlers Pack UpMeanwhile, back at the Grove Family Cabins — Ted, Marlene, and Reuben made a choice: to leave. The world is getting stranger, more dangerous, and the crew's brush with the Mothman cult shook everyone.What I haven’t said aloud (until now) is this: I didn’t originally know if they’d be good folks. Maybe they were raiders. Maybe they were cultists in disguise. Like all things in this campaign, that answer was improvised live at the table, shaped by your actions.Studio Upgrades and No More Pre-ShowQuick IRL update: we’re tweaking lights, sound, and camera angles in the new studio. It's a slow climb toward full-time, and every Ko-fi contribution helps put fuel in the tank and power in the grid.We’re officially cutting the TTRPG pre-show on Sundays — at least for now. With a small audience, it doesn’t quite serve its purpose, and I’d rather focus that energy on building better episodes. Once our viewership grows, we may revisit.Programming Note📵 No TTRPG stream on July 21 — Skye’s got a scheduling conflict.🎮 Instead, we’ll be live in Fallout 76 all weekend! Come join us in-game or hang out on stream.On the Horizon✅ Vault Broadcast: New interviews with 2Cam Cosplays and VendorHunt76✅ New zine preview for Ko-fi members — test prints are rolling✅ Tales From Tomorrow returns Sunday, July 28 @ 7:30 PM ETI'm also working on organizing Fallout 76 community events.

    TFT18 - A Raven From The Ashes
    Jul 16 2025
    Where We Left OffRaven vanished in the chaos. The barn was burning. The cultists were dead — but the Red-Eyed Mothman wasn’t. Sam, Jim, and Chop stood in the ashes, Reuben at their side, wondering if the fire had claimed her too. But Raven was somewhere else. Somewhere darker. Somewhere colder. She walked the halls of the Lantern — a place from childhood stories. A home of the Enlightened.Back at the Grove Cabins, the settlers were packing to leave. The cult’s reach was too close now. And even as the fire died down at Aaronholt Farm, the woods grew quiet in all the wrong ways.What Happened This TimeSam and Jim search the scorched wreckage. The barn’s collapsed, but the dust still lingers — glowing purple, just like before. They follow its trail and find something impossible: Raven’s voice, echoing from beneath the rubble. They dig. They find the fridge. She’s alive.Inside, Raven had lived a dream — or something worse. She saw the Lantern up close: endless hallways, glowing green fog, rooms built to her questions. Brother Charles waited there, calling her “child.” Telling her she’d never really left. That only her mind had walked those halls.She brings something back. A weapon — an 18th-century blunderbuss. She says it came from the dream. No one’s sure what that means.The trio regroups. They loot the homestead for supplies: ammo, fire arrows, stim packs, some whispered note about not being alone. But the settlers at the Grove are leaving. They’ve seen enough. If Hope’s still lit, maybe they’ll go there.Dusk falls. The Mothman still watches.The Lantern BeckonsThe figure in the dream called himself Brother Charles. Said the Lantern was a sanctuary. But only minds could enter. Is it a real place? A memory? A psychic echo? And if Raven brought something out… what does that mean about going back in?They Found Her — But She’s Not the SameRaven’s alive, but shaken. She speaks of the Wise One, of trials ahead, of a kingdom of ash. Sam and Jim aren’t sure what to believe — but they know they’re heading for Point Pleasant. The cult’s not done. And neither is the Mothman.Next?The settlers are scattering. The trio heads east. Brother Errol once said the Lantern took a long journey to reach. But Raven found it anyway. In her sleep. Through fire. With dust in her lungs and something new in her hands.What else is waiting at Clancy Manor? And what happens when the Chosen One knocks on the wrong door?💭 Want the debrief?

    Overseer's Log 17 - Bound in Shadow
    Jul 13 2025

    We’re live on Twitch at the time of this posting: https://twitch.tv/overseerkyle

    We’re streaming again, building a studio, and crawling out of the Vault one cable at a time.

    This week’s Overseer’s Log is a bite-sized update on everything behind the curtain: new desks, Fallout 76 community streams, and a steady march toward our second Fallout TTRPG campaign this summer. I reflect on Tales from Tomorrow Episode 17 (our improvised “Sam’s Missing” arc), what made it work, and why I believe the best TTRPGs are the ones that embrace chaos with good company.

    Also covered:

    * Homebrew grapples and cinematic rulings

    * Vault Broadcast’s return to schedule (and future Twitch plans)

    * Summer Campaign nights on the horizon

    * Discount codes for Bethesda Gear (BTALES38) and the Fallout TTRPG (BTALES)

    Unfiltered, unedited, and (mostly) unscripted — it’s just me, a tripod, and a half-eaten desk lamp sandwich.
