    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. Scavenger hunts, meetups, maybe a few brawls with the big bads — all to remind us we’re not alone in this Wasteland.Join the Adventure🎥 Watch us live every Sunday at 7:30 PM ET on Twitch📺 Catch up on episodes via our YouTube channel📺 Watch Fallout prop reviews on Overseer Kyle’s channel💬 Join our Discord for behind-the-scenes content🎙️ Listen to Tales From Tomorrow on Substack🎙️ Check out Vault Broadcast interviews on Substack💰 Support the show via Ko-fi for shoutouts, zines, and more📱 Follow us on TikTok and InstagramLoot Deals🧢 20% Off Bethesda Gear Shop → use codes BTALES38 or BTALES39👉 gear.bethesda.net📚 10% Off Fallout TTRPG → code BTALES at modiphius.net🛍️ Shop Amazon & support us → amzn.to/4buk0Er💬 What would YOU do if you woke up in Lantern?🗣️ Tell us your tale → voicecast.app/tftfallout This is a public episode.

    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.

    S1E17 - Bound in Shadow
    Jul 9 2025
    Where We Left OffSam (Sky), Jim (DK), and Raven (Mac) left Hope behind and drifted south down the Ohio river. The Free Radicals at the West Virginia Lumber Mill wanted a new feudal contract — bend the knee or keep drifting. The crew kept drifting.At Tyler County Fairgrounds, they found Reuben mid-brawl with a Scorched. He pointed them to the Grove Family Cabins — more good folk holding the line: Ted, Marlene, Reuben, and Chop. Chop’s new. Eight feet of super mutant muscle, half-sane, dragging dead Protectrons like toys.What Happened This TimeMorning comes — Sam’s gone. Chop’s gone. Reuben too. Sam’s gear’s still in his bunk except the sidearm. Footprints run east, toward the old Aaronholt Farm — and too close to Clancy Manor for Raven’s comfort. She’d dreamt it: a Mothman cult forming up, one of them looking back at her through the vision like a crack in the glass.Jim and Raven track the prints to the farm. Dusty barns, old silos, signs of settlers passing through. They find ammo, stew, a powder charge — and then the ambush hits. Raiders or cultists — doesn’t matter. Shotgun blasts in the dark. A Molotov sails in — barn’s burning. Second Molotov misfires — their hideout’s burning too.Underground, Sam wakes blindfolded. Chop’s chained. Reuben’s roped to a post. A cultist in the dark tries to break him — but Sam breaks free first. They wrestle. Chop rips the manacles out of the wall and snaps the cultist’s neck like dry driftwood.The Dreamer’s PriceRaven reaches for the Wise One. Instead, the Red-Eyed Mothman finds her first. She’s pulled backward through her vision as the barn comes down — gone when Jim hits the door.They Escape — But Not All TogetherSam, Jim, Reuben, and Chop drag each other out of the burning farmhouse as timbers crash in. The barn’s collapsed. Raven’s trail ends at scorched earth and fluttering ash.Next?The Mothman cult has eyes in the dark. The town of Hope is a beacon now — and Raven’s gone with the Red-Eyed one. Jim, Sam, Chop, and Reuben walk out alive, but they’re far from safe.💭 Want the debrief?

  • Overseer's Log 16: Something Wicked This Way Comes

    Overseer's Log 16: Something Wicked This Way Comes
    Jul 5 2025

    In Overseer’s Log 16, Kyle settles into a brand-new office while opening up about how capitalism shapes the Fallout narrative — and his own life. He talks candidly about moving projects forward, teases an upcoming chat with Mr. Wild Wasteland, and digs into how gaming and real-world politics collide. This episode is part reflection, part rallying cry: join in, speak up, and keep this creative wasteland alive.

    S1E16 - Something Wicked This Way Comes
    Jun 11 2025
    The crew finally made landfall in the northern Appalachian Territories. The town of Hope is far behind them now—and with it, any sense of stability.This week’s session picked up as the party approached the Tyler County Fairgrounds, a landmark of rusted rides and overgrowth that once held happier memories. What they found instead was a gunfight, a settlement barely holding on, and a super mutant named Chop who may be one of the best allies they’ve found yet.🔫 A Gunfight, a Misunderstanding, and a New NameNear the fairground gates, gunfire broke the calm. A scorched creature and a lone wastelander were already mid-fight as our group arrived. Sam and Jim crept through the brush. Raven climbed a rooftop and flanked the scene.After a few well-placed shots and one dramatic entrance from Raven, the scorched was down—and the settler was still standing. His name was Reuben.Reuben brought the party back to a patchwork settlement in the woods. Just a few cabins, some crops, a makeshift watchpost. But it was enough to be home—for now.The people there, including Marlene and Ted, weren’t hostile. But they weren’t exactly welcoming either. Trust takes time.🪓 “Chop is good at making smash.”While the others unpacked, Sam went looking for Ted and stumbled into something else entirely: a massive super mutant pulling apart Protectrons in the woods.His name—self-given—was Chop.What followed was one of the strangest, gentlest, and tensest social scenes in the campaign so far. Sam stayed calm. Chop asked for Nuka-Cola. And after a few rolls and a lot of heart, they came to an understanding.Chop followed Sam back to camp, dragging two dead robots behind him.Then things got complicated.A half-joking comment from Raven about “keeping” Chop went sideways fast. He backhanded her—not hard, but enough to draw a line. One hit. One point of damage. One very clear message: Chop is not a pet.To everyone's credit, the tension diffused. But the moment lingers.💤 Visions from the CultLater that night, Raven dreamed—or was pulled—again.This time, she saw Clancy Manor not as ruins, but alive with firelight and activity. Cultists marched. Pyres burned. One figure in the crowd turned toward her. Just one.She woke up with more questions than answers.🌽 What We Learned This Week* The scorched are still around* Reuben’s settlement is one of the last threads of frontier life in the north* Chop may be the most dangerous ally the party’s made* Free Radical gangs are rumored to be pushing down from the east* Raven’s visions are starting to feel more like warnings than memoriesThe crew’s presence here changes things. People are watching—some with hope, some with fear.🎙️ Studio NotesWe’ve moved the whole stream over to new software—cleaner visuals, multi-camera setups, and more tools for future guests and call-ins. It’s laying the groundwork for what’s next across Tales from Tomorrow, Vault Broadcast, and beyond.If you haven’t yet, check out our new Ko-fi page. Everyone who joins before we hit our $1,000/month goal will have their name added to a real-life “Vault Founder” wall in our future studio space.Thanks for helping us build something out of the Wasteland.🧭 What’s Next?Do they help protect the cabin from encroaching gangs?Do they track the Free Radicals at Anchor Farm?Do they confront Clancy Manor before it’s too late?We roll Sunday night at 7:00 ET.Until then, grab your discount codes:🧢 BTALES33 and BTALES34 for 20% off Fallout gear🎲 BTALES for 10% off the Fallout TTRPG at Modiphius💬 Community QuestionWould you bring Chop along on a stealth mission?Would he trust you?Drop your thoughts in the comments.Join the Adventure:* 🎥 Watch us live every Sunday on Twitch at 7:00 PM ET* 📺 Catch up on episodes through our YouTube channel* 📺 Follow Kyle’s secondary YouTube channel for Fallout prop reviews and deep dives* 💬 Join our Discord community for behind-the-scenes content and discussions* 🎙️ Follow our TFT podcast for enhanced storytelling and exclusive commentary* 🎙️ Follow our Vault Broadcast podcast for community interviews* 💰 Support us on Patreon for shoutouts in episodes as well as behind-the-scenes content!* 📱 Follow us on TikTok and Instagram for more!* ☎️ Call into the showUse our Affiliate Codes:* 🛒 Get 20% off the Bethesda Gear Shop using our codes:BTALES23, BTALES24, BTALES25, BTALES26, and BTALES27* (If one doesn’t work, try increasing the number — they expire often!)* 📚 Get 10% off the Modiphius shop when buying the Fallout TTRPG using code BTALES* 🛍️ Shop Amazon with our Amazon Affiliate link.Grab your Pip-Boy and stock up on RadAway – the wasteland awaits!

    Overseer's Log: Can We Get A Studio Vault?
    Jun 7 2025
    Don’t forget to show this video some love with a Like and a comment to beat back the algorithm beast! In this episode, I delve into the intricacies of our evolving show landscape, specifically focusing on our upcoming series, Vault Broadcast, and the transition to new recording software that will enhance our production quality. We explore my recent switch from OBS to Ecamm Live, a move influenced by our need for more streamlined guest interviews and better audio capturing capabilities. This new software allows us to create inviting overlays for our broadcasts and ensures a smoother experience for both hosts and guests. I discuss the surprising adaptability of Ecamm Live and its potential to transform our creative workflow, making it easier and more efficient.The conversation then shifts to discussing the exciting prospects of moving our operations into a dedicated studio space. My commitment to finding a suitable location stems from past challenges with housing and recording environments, as I want to nurture creativity without interrupting the lives of those around me. I describe a recent studio tour that exceeded my expectations, detailing its quiet, isolated setting, ample ethernet ports—ideal for a tech-heavy production environment—and the potential for versatile setups. This space offers more than just a physical backdrop; it symbolizes the next phase in our production journey, encouraging collaboration and community engagement.💰 Become a member on Ko-fiIn detailing our programming schedule, I outline the various projects currently in motion, from our three-hour Tales from Tomorrow TTRPG series to the behind-the-scenes C.A.S.E. Review for our paid members. My excitement builds as I share updates on planned summer campaign series and the prop unboxing segments featured on my YouTube channel. I reflect on how these multiple initiatives not only diversify content but also allow for increased interaction and feedback from our audience.The episode further introduces our strategies for audience engagement, especially the importance of timely interactions on platforms like YouTube. I emphasize how your likes and comments can dramatically influence our reach, highlighting the algorithmic nature of content discovery. Alongside mentioning our Ko-fi membership tiers, I explain how these contributions will help facilitate the transition to a dedicated studio and enhance our video and audio output.As we move through the discussion, I acknowledge that the road ahead, including scheduling interviews and output consistency, presents its own challenges but also exciting opportunities for growth. I also touch upon the integration of new tools like Voice Cast, which will allow audience members to submit audio messages—inviting them into our creative process and giving them a stake in our narrative development.In closing, I reaffirm the collaborative spirit of this project. Your support—whether through direct contributions or by spreading the word about our content—enriches this creative journey and helps build a strong community around the worlds we are crafting. With your assistance, I aim to propel our collective story forward, leading to more engaging and immersive experiences for all involved, as we embark on this thrilling chapter together.Join the Adventure:* 🎥 Watch us live every Sunday on Twitch at 7:30 PM ET* 📺 Catch up on episodes through our YouTube channel* 📺 Follow Kyle’s secondary YouTube channel for Fallout prop reviews and deep dives* 💬 Join our Discord community for behind-the-scenes content and discussions* 🎙️ Follow our TFT podcast for enhanced storytelling and exclusive commentary* 🎙️ Follow our Vault Broadcast podcast for community interviews* 💰 Support us on Ko-fi for shoutouts in episodes as well as behind-the-scenes content!* 📱 Follow us on TikTok and Instagram for more!* ☎️ Leave us a message.Use our Affiliate Codes:* 🛒 Get 20% off the Bethesda Gear Shop using our codes:BTALES31, BTALES32, and soon BTALES33* (If one doesn’t work, try increasing the number — they expire often!)* 📚 Get 10% off the Modiphius shop when buying the Fallout TTRPG using code BTALES* 🛍️ Shop Amazon with our Amazon Affiliate link.Grab your Pip-Boy and stock up on RadAway – the wasteland awaits!

    S1 The journey thus far....
    Jun 5 2025
    In this episode, we slow things down a bit—just a few of us gathered around the digital table for a catch-up session in our Fallout TTRPG campaign. Before we dive in, I talk briefly about the launch of Vault Broadcast, our new creator-focused Fallout podcast. We’ve got our very first guest lined up this week: a talented prop maker known for their insane Nuka-Cola armor builds. Couldn’t be more excited to kick this off.Back in the Wasteland, it’s Sky, DarkKnight, and Mac holding things down. Mac joins us despite feeling under the weather—trooper as always. This session gave us a chance to reflect, revisit some core story beats, and bring new or returning viewers back up to speed on where the hell we are in the world of Tales From Tomorrow.We get into some good character moments:Sky’s PC is facing down some dark realities—both in the world and within themselves.DarkKnight’s finally starting to click with the system and opens up about his character’s past (and why he’s so cagey).Mac leans into her cultist roots and how that’s affecting group dynamics.The big themes here? Survival, trust, moral gray zones—classic Fallout. We dig into the weight of player choices and how the story pivots depending on what they do. There's a great back-and-forth about whether certain actions were justified, including one violent decision that's still echoing through the community they’re trying to build.I also talk a bit about GM’ing Fallout—why improvisation matters, and how good players shape the world as much as I do. We cover lore beats, future threats, and where we might be headed next. (Let’s just say the Mothman cult isn't done with us yet.)As always, the session ends with a look ahead—more episodes coming, more ways for the audience to join in, and a bigger focus on community storytelling across all our shows. If you’ve been following Tales From Tomorrow, this is a great checkpoint episode to re-sync with the group and peek behind the curtain a bit.Check out my other videoJoin the Adventure:🎥 Watch us live every Sunday at 7:30 PM ET on Twitch (Pre-show starts at 7 PM!)📺 Catch up on episodes via the Tales From Tomorrow YouTube Channel🧰 Explore Fallout prop reviews on Overseer Kyle's Channel💬 Join the community on Discord for behind-the-scenes access and campaign chatter🎙️ Tales From Tomorrow Podcast – immersive audio storytelling + extended universe lore + Overseer’s Logs🗂️ C.A.S.E.
