Hello and welcome to the first Guffawsoleum of Season 4! It's our usual fare of slip ups and gags that needed to be cut for time, but tune in next week for something extra ;)
Thank you so much,

2021-09-01 16:27:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey, it's Jillian! I've missed writing these. Wanna know an embarrassing fact about me? When I first heard about the tv show the L-word, it did NOT occur to me that the L was for Lesbian and I was like... it's probably Love. We've come a long way since then. I think I made it through 4 seasons of the show a few years back. One day I'll finish it and watch the reboot. But until then, I made a cy...

This record was just loaded! Getting it under 75 minutes was a mission.
We have a healthy sized guffawsoleum for you this week, I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks so much!

Jesse here, with some notes about our latest one-shot. I know they're a little later than normal, but I've been pretty busy these days! Plus, I think having them go up on the off Tuesday is kind of nice. That way, you get a fresh dose of Many Realms each and every week! Maybe I'll keep this schedule for the future--what ...

A lot happened in this game! - somewhere between the wet desert, and destroying some tiny, tiny housing, we had time to crack a few jokes that didn't quite make the final cut. We hope you enjoy film history jokes and questions about what a desert is, really.
Thanks again for all your support, and we'll see you next time!

Hey Realmers! I'm back with your regularly scheduled behind-the-scenes glimpse of the making of Many Realms!
(First off, I want to say: did you love this episode, or what? I had a ton of fun running and editing it, and I think the end result turned out great. I hope you enjoyed it too!)
I have a few different juicy details about this week's episode:
Above we see the "suspect c...

I'll level with you: most of these are dumb British accent jokes. Did Jordan just play a British character in Recount? Yes. Did we spend much of the time making dumb British accent jokes then? Yes. Is that going to stop us in any capacity now?
Absolutely not.
That's my guarantee to you, Realmers, and my word is stronger than a thousand steampunk robots.

It is I, Jordan! Reporting to you with some notes on our Pirate Oneshot, Jewel Of The Sea.
I wish I could say there was an overwhelming amount of prep on this one but there certainly wasn’t. That was by design! After reading the ruleset for Jewel Of The Sea, I felt that created a series of playgrounds for the cast to then improv within was the best way to approach...

Many Realms is celebrating our two year anniversary this month!
In May 2019, we released our first ever episode, the first session of our Tallow campaign. Even though we had a lot to learn about audio and pacing (and transcribing, and marketing, and editing, and graphics, and composing music, and Patreon, and...) we think we've come a very long way in a short time!
With 50+ ep...

Okay a few quick thoughts and then I'll tell you about the seal song.

- I've been bouncing the phrase "That's gonna scar you tacky bitch!" in my head for weeks!
- Gwen and Anna not fighting because everything else is life or death?? *heart eyes* It's a shame they didn't interac...

Now, we close out Recount with our final Guffawsoleum of the campaign! As with all of the other Recount outtakes, it's mostly about dumb vampire jokes, dumb seal jokes, dumb British jokes--well, you get the idea.
We hope you enjoyed Recount and we sincerely thank you for your continued patronage, without which this show would not be possible!

2021-05-25 19:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo I guess I cursed this episode when I introduced myself as the manager of crises… We lost a bunch of audio for this recording and only had a backup of half of it because my internet went out halfway through the record and I had to call into our online meeting with my cellphone. So we had to re-record some bits from memory which was an adventure but I think it turned out really well.

Hey, Patrons! We're back with another Guffawsoleum. This ended up being a short record for us, so it's a baby-sized Guffaws, but we hope it's enough to brighten up your day!

2021-04-27 13:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello again,
MY FAVOURITE EPISODE! I hope you liked it. It’s my favourite because it really captures the spirit of Monsterhearts well with its emotional highs and lows. It also has relentless momentum. The plot barrels forward and shifts in tone quite significantly.
If you read my episode 04 notes I talked about setting up dominoes. That’s because here in episode 05 we start kno...

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Guffawsoleum!
The episode 5 record was tight, so we had fewer outtakes this time around, but we did find time to talk about alternate universe Leonards and some now-outdated memes (we recorded most of this season in December and January, so if our pop culture references seem passée that might be why).
Thanks so much for your support and see you ...
2021-04-13 16:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis episode of Recount sets up a lot of dominoes. In particular, a lot of plot threads have now been set up for Riri. Hopefully you listened to our session 0 where Jordan gave a little bit of backstory on his Vampire. The two of us collaborated on some lore to drop in this episode to give more context as to why Riri has ended up in Whitfield Bay (which was the fun note from British vamparent C...

We're halfway through Recount, and the second half is just around the corner! We just hope the cast isn't getting a little, well...Floopy.
After you listen to this Guffawsoleum, let us know if there are other seal-themed movies Declan should be watching!
See you next time!

During the record everyone spent a good 10-15 minutes making up a schedule of courses they’d be taking. It was very helpful to not have to argue about that for the rest of the campaign! Also fun fact, I forgot to physically describe half the NPCs in the game so I recorded descriptions of them later to stick in...

Hi everyone! And welcome again to our spooky blooper reel!
We're mostly talking about granola bars this week with some fashion and some rowing chatter peppered in. Missing from this Guffawsoleum was the full 10 minutes of us hashing out what our class schedules would be, turns out, that does not quite make great bonus content.
Thanks so much for your continued support and we'll catc...
2021-03-16 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostDear Realmers,
I write these notes just hours after we recorded the finale. Recount is our shortest season ever so this has bought us some really valuable time to plan our NEXT season even though for you, this one is just beginning. Anyways, let’s talk about episode 2!
One thing that you might notice about my GM style in this season is that it is very player directed and there’s...

Hi everyone and welcome back to another Guffawsoleum!
I'm not sure yet, but we might make the same Twilight joke in every episode, but I guess them's the breaks when you got a hot vampire in your cast.
In additon to that one Twilight joke, we have a couple of deleted scenes and what I think is an extended dueling bit?
We hope you enjoy and thanks so much for your s...

Jillian your MC here with some thoughts on Episode 1. Let’s talk about the setting. We built it as a team by deciding what decade and geography excited us. That of course brought us to the fictional town of Whitfield Bay in the 90s, which I based off a real town in British Columbia where I had some relatives growing up. I have been thinkin...
