While it has been some time since Daniel did portraits for each of the guild masters, we've never actually posted all of them somewhere that was easy to view, especially all in one place. This post, now serves as that place. Daniel first started doing character portraits of the guild masters for us back in February of 2022, starting with Biri Yarjerit. Over the course of the next year, he did portraits of Oberyn, Mehen, Alberich, and finally Verna, who was finished in March of 2023. As you can see, it's been quite a while that these pieces have been floating around on my hard drive and in Discord without ever truly fulfilling their duties as being publicly posted art of the world of Erylia to help create some hype for the show. While production is a bit slower over the summer, I am planning to do a better job of going through some of the backlog of things like these so that we can better share the art we are so proud to have spent money on having created.

After a rough couple of years, I am feeling like things are heading in a new, better, direction for Adventures in Erylia. The last quarter of 2025 really got me feeling inspired to put more focus on the show, and so far, the data is backing that up. The momentum is keeping up. I'm feeling the passion again and plan to make 2026 a hallmark year for us, with my own personal goal of releasing more episode in 2026 than in 2024 and 2025 combined.

Just a quick update from Damian about what's been going on during the hiatus to get people up to speed, as well as some reminiscing over old blog posts as he works on getting old content moved to the new website so we can get rid of Squarespace finally!

It's been a long time since we released a new episode and while I have had plans to post about what's been going on, things have held them up. This is a shorter production update to let you all know what's going on behind the scenes without some of the deep dive that I've been working on in the background for the last few months. If you want the short short version without opening the post, here it is. Due to some real life issues out of our control, Adventures in Erylia has been put on another hiatus. We're all still friends, we all still talk, and this has nothing to do with the group as a whole, we hate that it has been so long and hope that things will settle down in the new year.

A product that I have been eyeing for quite some time has finally entered it's Kickstarter phase! Introducing Amsel Suite - Tome and Lore! These are the first two apps that will be developed for a new world building, roleplaying, and storytelling notes platform. Tome will be used for prepping notes for your story or roleplaying game sessions, while Lore will be used for keeping all of your notes on your world and the things within it, and both apps will be able to talk to each other so that things you reference in Tome can be linked for their dedicated articles in Lore and vice versa. The platform will be local and subscription free, so once you have it, it is yours to work with. I've already backed and I am looking forward to see them succeed and helping them along the way with my feedback to get the perfect world building and session prepping tool for me.

It's been a long time. Far too long. Our last recording session was on 10/15/2022... That was over six months ago! After that, life for the cast just got very chaotic and busy. But we were able to get together last weekend and sit down for a long 4 hour session filled with roleplay, exposition, and hooks for what the party might do next.

We're in the final stages of getting the last commission from our Guild Masters commission series wrapped up. With this finishing up, we are in need of a new list to chose from for future commissions! We'd love to hear what characters or items you would like to see us have commissioned and they will get turned into a new pool to chose from in future polls over on Patreon. Click on the main post for this announcement to see a Google Form to fill out.

It's 2023 and time for a facelift for Adventures in Erylia. You're now checking us out on our brand new website! The new website should be pretty familiar to our old one, but it has been rebuilt on a whole new platform. In search of more customization options, we have moved from Squarespace over to Webflow. We are really excited for some of the new features and more granular customization that we have on Webflow.

Ohhhh boyyy... I did not expect to start up something like the production updates, get a new episode posted, and then not post one for 2 months. Long story short, life was kicking my own ass. BUT! There's a new episode out now (it only took 3 weeks!!!) and you should go listen to it. But a peak behind the curtain will tell you that it will be a little while before the next one. Guess you'll have to read the full post to find out why...

With our new website up and running, Damian wants to get in the habit of doing more regular text updates on how production is going. Considering everything else that went on this weekend, I am actually super happy with how far I got, though I was slightly under the goal I set for myself part of the way through Sunday. These updates probably won't be weekly, but if I feel like a significant milestone has been reached, I'll try to get a post up about it at the end of the weekend.
