Hey again, everyone. I had hoped to wait on this reveal until after the next TES Lore video goes up, but that's still a little ways off, and the cat's about to be let out of the bag. I figured you'd appreciate seeing it here first.

About a year ago, I started volunteering some of my time to a little project you may have heard of. I've taken on various roles including video-making, but my contributions mostly pertain to writing, editing, documentation, and organization of lore. Much like what you've seen me do in my videos, but on an original creation and much, much larger in scope.

I have joined the team at ‪@OnceLostGames‬, and have been working with them for the past year in helping develop the world for The Wayward Realms.

You read that right. I'm no longer just a presenter of lore on YouTube; I am a writer, editor, and keeper of lore for a massive project, one that aims to be the spiritual successor of games like Daggerfall. It's been incredibly gratifying to work as a part of OnceLost's incredibly talented writing team, developing and refining ideas that are going to be an actual part of a game world. I've even written a lore book or two, with more yet to come.

Does this mean I'll be featuring more Wayward Realms content on the channel? Honestly, that remains to be seen. If there's sufficient demand for it, anything is possible. That's the most I can say right now.

If you have any other questions about the part I'm playing in the project, I'd be happy to answer them here.

Thanks, everybody, for helping to make this channel what it is. It's not a lot in itself, but it's fair to say that were it not for my TES Lore series getting the viewership it has, then this opportunity would never have presented itself. I owe you all at least a little something for that.

So, here's a little tease for the upcoming video. Get hyped, cause it's a big one, and a long time coming.

Greetings, one and all. Allow me to thank you once again for your continued patience with the rate of new videos on this channel. I know it's generally understood that this is a hobby of mine, and that there's no rush to get videos done. Still, I appreciate it nonetheless. I can assure you that I have been quite busy. In fact, I have a new video coming out TOMORROW. It just won't be on this channel, but over at ‪@OnceLostGames‬. I not only edited, but also provided commentary for this, and it turned out rather good if I say so myself.

If you've been missing the sound of my voice, or if you just want to have a little fun, then please join me in watching the premiere tomorrow, at 12:30 PM PT (19:30 GMT). I look forward to seeing you there.

Hey, all. So, the upcoming TES Lore video is going to be put on hold for a bit. A very, very dear friend of mine died suddenly last week. This was hard and completely unexpected. My wife and I will be grieving for a long time.

In my friend's memory, I'm going to go ahead with a project I've been putting off for a while. It's a gaming video that has nothing to do with TES. It's already written, and it is probably the best writing I've ever done. It's a different kind of video than I've done before, but that hasn't stopped me yet.

Most of you should be used to these delays by now. I hope you can see that this time there is reason for it. There usually isn't one, t be honest. This time is different. I thank you all for your continued views and support of this little, sporadic YouTube channel of mine.

I know I'll get through this horrendous time OK. I think making this video will help me a great deal with that.

Thanks again.

Would you be interested in a new series in which I actually play TES? Not a "Let's Play," but something more focused and heavily edited. If so, which game would you prefer to watch?

Hey, everyone! Sorry I've been pretty quiet lately. Rest assured that I am working on the next TES Lore presentation. I know myself well, so I will absolutely not commit to any ETA. Don't expect it right around the corner, but it is coming.

In other news, I've been hard at work on another project which is entirely separate from this channel. My role there may be revealed in the near future, and it is very exciting. Look out for future posts about that.

Also in other news, I'm musing on the idea of a new series in which I'll actually be playing a TES game. It WILL NOT be a typical "let's play" kind of thing. There will be particular goals, and the videos will be heavily edited. First though, I just want to gauge the level of interest in such a thing, and what game you'd like to see me play. My idea would work just as well in TES III, IV, & V. Skyrim is obviously easier to play and record, and may have more mass appeal, but I feel like YouTube may be a little over-saturated with it already. There will be a poll shortly following this post where you can make your opinion known. The more votes it gets, the more helpful it will be to decide whether or not to go forward with the idea, so I'd really appreciate it.

That's all for now. Thanks very much!

Hey, everyone! I was a guest on the latest episode of the LODcast. I fielded some questions about the process of making my Lore videos, and ended up spending most of the time talking about just writing. It was a good time, and I wish we could've talked longer. If you're interested, you can check out our conversation at the link here, or on whichever is your preferred podcast platform.

Holy crap, people... It's only taken five and a half years, but it's almost there!

Fight to the death, round 2! No rules, and they have a month to prepare. Who wins?

Keep an eye on your subscription feeds, everybody!

Although it's only been a little over two months since the last episode, I'm very excited to tell you there is another new Elder Scrolls Lore video just around the corner! It's done and uploaded, in fact. Just need to do all the YouTube setup. No one is more surprised about this than I am, I assure you. This one came together quickly, but it's turned out very well, if you ask me. I'm excited to see the response.

Watch those feeds, and be sure to enable notifications if you want to make sure you don't miss it. I'll see you then!
