A timely quote.

Dutch was many things, but at the end of the day he was a Dreamer.

RDR2 informs a lot for the show and if you ever want a peak into the creative process of the podcast know that most episodes of DW come with a few hours of riding around in RDR2.

Eeler's Choice S2 Crowdfund and TTRPG!

Indiegogo

Eeler's Choice S2

A return to the town of Eskmouth to continue the tale of the great eels. Campaign starts May 2025.

Hello Eel Enthusiasts. I have two announcements for you.

1, Lou and I have been working with Gabriel Robinson (who you may know from The Silt Verses RPG and Trophy, to create a brand new TTRPG set in the Eeler's Choice Universe.

The Eeler’s Choice RPG is a game of maritime folk horror and ecological threats, where hardworking folk build their lives along the coast, and the ocean never gives back what it takes… unchanged.

In this game, a group of residents of the coastal town of Eskmouth are serving their year of community service in the Watch, as all folk of Eskmouth do. Each comes from a different background, bringing their unique skills to respond to situations which threaten the livelihood of the town’s residents.

The Watch go about their lives in Eskmouth, tackling local problems and aiding the community as best as they can by pooling their resources and skills. But something else threatens the city and way of life as most folk know it – a creeping tide of sickness, pollution and strange aquatic mutations. The Watch will soon realize this is caused by the sinister forces of unregulated industry, and must ultimately confront the corrupt organization responsible, all the while maintaining the lives they’ve built in Eskmouth.

Gabriel and I sat down to discuss Game design as well as the Eeler's TTRPG in an interview you can find here

"This all sounds fantastic. How can I play this game?" I hear you cry.

Well, the full game is still some time away from release. But there is one way you can get access to an early access playtest version.

By donating to our crowdfund! If we reach our first stretch goal of $10,000, all backers will receive an early access copy of the game, as well as the opportunity to provide feedback that may be incorporated into the final game when it is released.

That brings us to point number 2,

2. The Eeler's Choice Season 2 Crowdfund!

Our prelaunch page is live now. You can sign up to be notified when we launch on May 1, 2025.

We have all kinds of great perks in store, including exclusive merch items, workshops, signed and annotated scripts, and more. If you loved season 1 and can't wait to see us delve even deeper into the waters of Eskmouth, you won't want to miss this.

Season 2 will have new characters, new locations, and new mysteries. We cannot wait to bring it to you, but we need your help to make it possible. So if you can spare a dollar or ten, that gets us that much closer to being able to pay our cast and crew the fair rate they deserve.

If you can't donate at this time, that's okay! You can help us by sharing this crowdfund with your friends and family. Eeler's is an indie project without an advertising budget. We can only spread through word of mouth. Every share makes a difference.

Thank you!

THIS IS SO COOL! I love the style choices. THIS IS SO GOOOD!

mARTch Day 4: Object w/ @dead-west-podcast ‘s lovely characters!

Getting rating bombed on your Audio Fiction podcast for being a guest on another show by a single person over many different accounts is WILD. And so very immature. I just started my show a few months ago and already see in the sparse data I have how much it has impacted growth and discoverability. Kill em with kindness and move on I guess?

Inspired by our friends @theholmwoodfoundation who posted theirs here as well. Be sure to check out their show! If you do, leave them a rating/review and let them know the team from Dead West sent ya!

So here is our presentation on why YOU should listen and support The Dead West Podcast!
