  1. I just finished your Dresden game Delivery podcast. I love the chemistry the players had and it gave me more confidence to run my 2nd attempt at a Dresden game. Thank you. I know you did some "bloopers"/"funny moments" at the end of the pod casts. Have you considered after your round table pod casts of doing a "gag" reel in the future? I can just imagine the hilarity that gets edited out of your games. I'm looking forward to listening to how your group handles Hunter! <3 you all!

  2. Hey guys, enjoyed listening to the latest campaign. Would have to agree that it wasn't as strong as Shit Luck overall, but it was still enjoyable hearing the story progress and learning more about the characters.

    This may have already been addressed, but where do you guys stand on incorporating the God-Machine Chronicles updates? It shouldn't be all that hard to incorporate into Hunter, and would definitely change some dot distributions for some characters (Chu in particular, since his 'powers' are now a general merit.)

    Looking forward to hearing what's next for all of you.

  3. These sessions, as I honestly tried to listen, are well edited. However, I just cannot embrace the fact that Storyteller speaks three times more than all of the Players combined. Also, you give away too much details and extremely unnecessary stuff. Like with standing on Benjamin's doorstep... It was enough to say "You don't hear anything form behind the door." Period. Why are you babbling about how the sounds cannot be heard from where they are standing, something like that, from within the house, etc. My gosh. It seems like Players have minimal influence on the events, as you, Storyteller, make it feel like a book reading. So sorry I cannot diges KotN's WoD sessions.

  4. So I just recently (in the last month or so) came across your podcast. I started from the beginning of Shit Luck because I'm a WoD fan who just started running a Vampire: Requiem game again. I was so engrossed that I finished that and skipped Delivery and went on to Chagrin, which I have finished as well. (Don't worry, I plan to go back and listen to Delivery before moving forward.) The game is excellent. The players mesh well and even the tangents and jokes are worth hearing. The editing and sound effects add to the ambiance, but are unnecessary as the Shit Luck tale shows. The length of the podcasts are great, and I wouldn't want longer. If you do, nothing is stopping you from listening to two at once. ;) Keep the good times coming and looking forward to the Dresden Files stories. No spoilers please.

  5. So finally caught up to the most recent episode ( a hell of a slog). and it seems like you all are missing an obvious part of the bad guys M.O. plus who laid the western union trap cause that bastard was clearly summoned there.

  6. Hi guys, long time listener, first time poster. What is with the Scott hate the last few episodes? Scott did you kick someone's puppy or something? You're doing horror right buddy. Just thought I'd give you some support since its seemed to me that almost everywhere I see your name mentioned its something about not liking you. Keep giving -3 dice for darkness, love ya Scott <3.

    Anyway, loving Sin-Eater so far and unlike a lot of people, with all the Silver Bell hate, I'm loving Grace. She makes the party uncomfortable and nervous, which makes for extremely good and awkward (but in a good way) roleplaying. I love in the last episode when she's pushing for action (which I'm like YAY we won't be stuck at a door for 4 episodes!) and Michael Clay is just like "But, but, but, but". It's probably one of my favorite moments of just arguing at the table.

    Keep your Leatherman's frosty, and keep up with the good work.

    P.S. If this somehow gets in one of the actual plays, have Mike read this please, since Michael Clay is my favorite member of the base group.

  7. I just wanted to say thank you for being my driving companion for the past year. Your group’s antics and compelling story telling has kept me awake and make the hours pass quickly as I drive from Iowa to Maryland (roughly 16hrs straight, ahh to be young).

  8. Agree with the sentiment. I listen at work while I'm drafting for 9 hour days. Love that I can have a quality gaming podcast to listen to, with great production values.

    I'm on the West Coast, but I hope I can get to one of the cons you guys attend, and game with you.

  9. [Comment from Arcaile]:

    Congratulations to KOTN on the completion of the Sin Eater Campaign! I began listening to your group's full archive in April 2014 to fill the void after the World of Darkness MMORPG game was sadly cancelled, and I have to compliment Scott with much acclaim on the way that fascinating library research and bizarre metaphysical peril is regularly woven throughout his stories in an adept and addictive manner (as well as the care by KOTN put in to the performance and great editing of the Dresden, Dungeon World, and Numenera stories).

    I feel like many of the commenters to The Knights regularly criticize campaign pacing and as-yet-uncovered motivations, but in my opinion that is the price one pays for allowing player-characters the freedom to make their own attentional focus and decisions in driving the story's ultimate path.

    My favorite scene in the entirety of "The Sin Eater" was Edgard, Jay, and Chu's escape from the realm of the fairies with simultaneous help from the real-world, in "Part 20: Which I believe is Pimp" since the locus of conflict in The Hedge was most focused upon the dangers of the external environment more than interpersonal conflict over a very secretive and potentially dangerous stranger/ally, well played realistically and cryptically by Rachel, immune to all interrogation and turtleneck scrutiny, and less easily classified or labeled in the imagination of associates than a rogue Hobo-Werewolf, who as a partner was clearly and un-mysteriously both a Hobo and a Werewolf. Each player trapped in The Hedge was able to dig into the history and personality of their characters to give a deep and complex background breadth to their current thought-space, and to the intricacies of the wider system of Voudoun as it existed in the story (much as sister Katie O'Connor always has a lot of personality and pluck infused by Jim into her scenes, which I will always look forward to hearing more of). I wanted to see Ethan Clark and Daniel struggle more deeply with their convictions and addictions and personal demons, but I think that both the flow of the story as it unfolded and their prudent gameplay kept them largely out of trouble for the most part (and The Bishop as well was another character with more complications to probably learn of in future segments).

    My favorite comment in the entire campaign was Mike's discussion of worldcraft and storytelling on how evil and sinister characters do not eat their breakfast in an evil and sinister manner, since I see this as a very common problem in modern lore-building in books, comics, film, and videogames, and my least favorite comment in the entire campaign was also from Mike, since I live in Iowa, which according to him stands for "Idiots Out Wandering Around". You indeed have fans in Iowa! I still cheered Mike as he brought out The Subtle Knife. =)

    My best to everyone, and keep up the good work. I am a poor student with scientific research commitments so I cannot be a Patreon supporter or AmazonSmile funder, but I encourage all others to donate what they can, and I will continue to spread the word to friends about your program. If future hypothetical game systems do not work out for you guys, I also recommend the "Better Angels" system as performed in serial by the ragNERDrock podcast ( http://ragnerdrok.com/episode-index/ ), since I think that you would all have a lot of fun with it.

    Night night, Night Knights!
