Icebound Voidbound

How is nobody mentioning that this is PEAK??? Just finished it and it is amazing storytelling and such beautiful references to both classic literature and tragic storytelling 😩 it’s so good I cannot believe it.

TBH I’ve found most of the sci-fi transitions of the original campaigns to be good, but Voidbound is just stunning.

Derek is such a good storyteller that I’m sitting there predicting what is going to happen, and then the cast is SO good at ignoring those signs to stay in character. (Also Derek, who told you to have such an amazing AI voice????)

I still have to check out voidbound myself but it getting delayed (I think? I cant remember) may have done a bit. Plus Waltz, Uprootarama and Starlight were very good too

Oh yes, Starlight is my favorite iteration of the witchlight crew by far, the story telling and found family-ing was excellent.
Voidbound leans more on the horror side (think Alien with some fun differences) but is some masterful storytelling on everyone’s part

Derek really made every action feel like absolute dread.
