Get tickets to QuakeCon, August 8th to the 10th, 2024: https://quakecon.bethesda.net/en/ This is Kenneth Vigue and I just want to say, I miss you….we all miss you. I wanted to give everyone a positive update on our life situation. As many of you longtime listeners know, our financial situation these past several years has not been great. Like many of you, we have been no strangers to struggle, living paycheck to paycheck and I’ve been working 7 days a week trying to keep us afloat, crushed by debt that began with long term mental healthcare for my husband Travis for a debilitating condition called C-PTSD and co-occurring conditions. So many of you have reached out, no strangers to either suffering through no fault of your own with mental health or who serve as caregivers for someone does. Everyone’s support over the years has meant the world to us and finally we have hope. Next month we finish a cross country move after finally selling our house, eliminating our debt completely and putting us in a much better living situation. We’ll be living in Texas, and after just getting back from there after signing on a new house for us I do have to say I have never eaten so well.

Once this move is completed by July 16th, I’ll be free both mentally and financially to be far more consistent with writing and editing. More of my free time spent in panic mode drumming up work will be mine again, and I can’t wait to get back to telling stories in Fallout 76 and beyond. So don’t worry…I’m not stopping.

I also want to share something exciting: I’ll be at QuakeCon in August, from the 8th to the 11th in Grapevine Texas and I would love to see any of you who may be going. It’s a truly spectacular event, panels, a truly epic LAN party in the BYOC. Though the convention may have started being all about Quake, today it is the largest yearly convention run by ZeniMax Media, and a celebration of all its studios and games. If you’re nearby or are planning to attend, it’s well worth a visit, and even if you can’t, Bethesda usually has a series of live streams from the event at Twitch.TV/Bethesda. Tickets start at just $16.50 for a day pass or if you want to bring your own computer and grab a spot in the LAN BYOC, you can grab those tickets for $75.

Again, I really miss you…I miss this. I’m so excited and frankly relieved for the next chapter in our personal life, but also the brighter horizons of my creative one. Care for yourself, take time to get out and see the world this summer. Unplugging for a while is chicken soup for the soul, it broadens the mind, declutters our thinking and allows less of the shadows to gain purchase.

I’ll be back in a few months, but I hope to see you in the Wasteland.

Listen in for a sneak peek of our next feature length episode, "Vault-Tec Rises!".

This year some major life changes will be occurring that will impact the show schedule this year but will help me in a big way in terms of being able to create more consistently in the future. Please give this a listen.

THAT'S A WRAP! The Fallout For Hope Team has raised $84,201 for the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Because of our efforts children we will never, ever meet with have the surgeries the need, the chemo, oxygen and medicines to help them fight and the support their parents need to get through it all. To date, we’ve now raised almost half a million for St. Jude alone: $444,608.39 to be exact.

This year the team raised a total of $139,600 in 2023 for St. Jude, the American Heart Association, the Alzheimer’s Association, and Project Hope.

Over 712 Streamers, Content Creators and Volunteers joined us this year, our largest team ever assembled, streaming from 86 countries.

The Fallout For Hope hashtag and all related its related streams, content, and posts from us and you reached 76.4 million people in 2023.

To date the team has raised over $610,639 for charitable causes, which is no small number and no small an impact on things that really matter and people who really needed our help and most importantly, hope.

Deep below, something stirs in the darkness and as Brian and MaryAnne descend down into the mine to save Becky they will encounter something the Mole Miners have been keeping hidden. Timmy will have too much sugar, Becky will hate Sixteen Tons and sometime later Brian will find the right words.

The remainder of this season our episodes will be for charity. Pleasure support our Fallout For Hope fundraiser supporting the humanitarian work of Project Hope: ⁠⁠Tiltify - Fallout For Hope ⁠⁠

When last we left our intrepid Pioneer Scout Leaders Brian and MaryAnne they defeated Blackskull and said goodbye to Briognak the Barbarian forever. It will still be some time before they will be kidnapped and brainwashed in Sanctuary Acres, but we journey back for something pivotal in their relationship that will change things forever. A field trip to the mysterious Nuka World on Tour carnival raises questions...and in a dark tunnel, a question will be asked that will shake Brian to his core.

BONUS! We've launched a BRAND NEW original sci-fi anthology podcast: "Frontier: Stories from Starfield". I'm sharing with you all our first episode in case you want to follow it: https://open.spotify.com/show/29GW7yS7xAOtSfInmbsTYZ?si=db1cd8f1cb9a42b3

This will be the only episode I share here to cross promote. :) In our premiere episode written by Bryan Bachman, a journey to the furthest reaches of the Settled Systems for one fledgling explorer brings her to a planet as devastating as it is beautiful. But through the noise of the never-ending apocalypse below, far behind her in the darkness a voice calls out... CAST: Lori Katz as Delila Bordel Justin Deeley as Cormac Greaves Andy Gion as S.A.M.M Holland Hayes as SS Horizon Command Cara Loften as Neon Lights Bryan Bachman as JABBER, Commercial Reader CREDITS: Produced and edited by KENNETH VIGUE Written by BRYAN BACHMAN Additional editing by RICHARD LOFTUS Music by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen, Idokay, Stephen Keec, Experia and Matooma. Sound effects by Epidemic Sound and ARTLIST.IOBased on the video game STARFIELD by Bethesda Game Studios

We are still working on part 2 of Little Sanctuary of Horrors! Rushing to get it done. Had some issues with work and home the past few days that derailed things. Working this afternoon and evening on finishing touches.

We DID create a piece of bonus content I want to give to you all! Richard Loftus, our new editor and producer who will be helping me get things done faster, created a series of Halloween soundscapes. Growing up I have memories of that ratty old orange cassette tape blasting out our windows for trick or treaters, so I had an idea for us to create the first Fallout 76 trick or treating soundscapes to bring the horrors of Appalachia to your street and home. I'm incredibly proud of what he's created and as you'll hear, he is incredibly skilled at telling stories with audio. Here's a link to download these tracks to have without commentary for you to do whatever you'd like with. It's our gift to you all and the community!

Download:

Simon has awoken to a strange new world, and seeks out an unexpected ally against the Judge and Vault-Tec. Meanwhile in Sanctuary Acres, Chad, Moose and Amata uncover a terrifying truth. There is something in the water, something moving in the earth, and Chad will come face to face with his worst nightmare.

The remainder of our season ad revenue from these episodes will be benefiting the global crisis and humanitarian work of Project Hope. Please support our fundraiser: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://donate.tiltify.com/+fallout-for-hope-ukrainerelief/chad-a-fallout-76-story-podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
