It will be new characters and campaing so I'd imagine so even if it is the same ''world''.

They said Wednesday evening, that would be around 12 hours from now.

The story is connected to the first season, but with an entirely new cast of characters, it will be extremely easy to watch and understand without prior knowledge.

Try to watch them. They really are great. I believe they're slowly being added to YouTube by those fantastic people who are uploading all of the GT stuff.
It's excellent, from beginning to end. Apart from Taylor DeSwift.
I used to think GT Time went up on Friday instead of Thursday because of GMT, but without day jobs, who knows? Might go up when Kyle wakes up and does what he needs to do.
Yeah, it's slow going to start but still fun as everyone finds their feet, but once Hoggar pushes over that woman...

Right now their patreon is at 29,237. I guess it's time to start discussing what retro do you want them to tackle next

They never finished the Warcraft retrospective.... *cough*

Personally I only had 3 problems with the show and the first one is 100% personal preference on what I see D&D being. That being Ben goes pretty easy for the group sometimes. I totally get that it probably makes sense to stack the odds in the groups favor for a show like this but there were a few times I thought he could have been a bit harsher. A character like Hogger would have a VERY high chance of dying in a long campaing of D&D but as said I understand that they would want to have the same characters for as long as possible. It's just my personal opinion that characters dying is a part of D&D, it's like playing Souls after the first few sessions.
Second being Pervince. He seemed to be a fan favourite but IMO Elyse went a bit too far in making him a joke character. Humour is a big appeal of the show but all the best moments were not some jokes themselves but rather the situations they got themselves into and how they resolved them. Hogger is a joke character done right, his personality gets him into comical situations without the need of trying to make everything a joke.
Third one is Kyles characters VERY weird personality change mid game for no reason. I love Kyles way to play, trying to break expectations and come up with unique plans (kinda like Ian balancing the trap floor with friggin bears!) but there was a sudden unexplained change in how his character acts. At the beginning she is extremely careful and it makes total sense how a small thief would handle a situation even if it goes against traditional D&D dungeon play like staying outside and guarding the cart or whatever. But later on we see her doing stuff that is a totally different character like taunting Goo Swansson for no reason at all. The latter seemed just Kyle being Kyle trying to break the campaing and that is perfectly fine if that was the character but it certainly wasn't what she started as.
That said TTA is easily my favourite internet show of all time.

Dammit the only one who i can reasonably watch is the one at 4PM which is at midnight, the other ones are too late :/
Can't wait for the shows to start

They do have a shortlist of series planned. I don't remember the whole list, but I recall Deus Ex was one of them. I'm guessing that whatever they go with will be a smaller series that's getting a new installment soon. At least to start -- it's been a little while since they've done these! I'd love to see them do Dragon Quest eventually, but that's Final Fantasy-scale. Persona would be great. And Yakuza!
Thanks for the replies. I thought about it and I think I'm going to check the first couple of episodes and see if I can enjoy it just with audio (thinking about listening to them at work). It's the only way I could catch up. (I guess I could also watch the recap Hasney posted, but thats's the plan B right now)
Knowing that they are independent stories, I will try to watch also the new eps at the same time I'm checking the old season, so I have something to discuss here in the thread.
It was released as a podcast too if you're wanting just audio:

For reference so you can picture reactions on bad rolls, here's a group one and a couple of bonus Huber ones
As soon as possible I'd hope so us Euros have a shot at listening to it before or in bed. But in the end I'm fine with whenever it gets posted.
The week that just keeps on giving! We started our own little TTA with a few friends at work and are just about to wrap up on our first adventure.
This is probably the most excited I've been about an internet series since the early days of Red vs Blue.
/edit: Can someone point me in the direction of an archive of all the episodes in video form? I still can't find the early episodes on Youtube.
To maximise financial success it'd be wise to time those in a way that a retro hits just before another game in a series launches. For Deus Ex that would be a possibility and it should drive Youtube views and attention from developers and publishers. I'm not saying they should sell out or anything but they can use the money from views and it might even open some doors to get better access to devs in the future.

Look for GameTrailers Archive on YouTube. They've just started uploading TTA and have up to episode 4 in a playlist so far.
(Can't link at work.)
Ok, this cracked me up bad.

theyre currently uploading a few of the episodes in between, but they are mostly there. you could start and by the time you get up to whats missing, they'll have been uploaded.

Final Fantasy XV Retrospective, from its announcement as Versus XIII up till now.
Yeah, that's how they did it at GT back in the day. I recall the Metal Gear retro being made before...Peace Walker, I think? And the Final Fantasy one was done before XIII. Deus Ex is a short enough series, so that'd be a great one to have done by August. Persona has a nebulous Western release at this point, so that'd be impossible to plan currently. It's Dragon Quest's 30th Anniversary next year, and hopefully we'll get a western release of Dragon Quest XI. Yakuza 0 is releasing in early 2017, so a retrospective could coincide with that. So many possibilities for retros -- I'm so glad the community is large and gracious enough to make it happen.

Twitch sub payouts are quarterly in most cases.
I'm the same, ha ha. I kind of wish they could get the money sooner just because they are already starting to make purchases and I'm hoping that the amount pledged doesn't change before then.

Does anyone have the first 3 hours of the first stream?
Someone does, just trying to see if EZA want it to upload there or get it uploaded by the dude that does the streams if not.

I agree. We need this and to add XIV's turn around as well

Said on the initial stream that they're still working that out.
EDIT: Although on the second one, Brandon did say the archives will go up there.

Before April 1st? I could maybe see it dipping below 29k. Maybe some big donations back out before then. But yeah, I think they are more than safe tbh. If I were them, I'd just start buying shit now. They said they already bought a 600 dollar tripod already, which bosman was completely fazed by, haha.

You need to get to 300 posts to become a member! So post in here more!
Maybe I can beg Brandon to put g4lw on through EZ. Also, are they using libsyn for podcasts or what?
Mikey Jr.

Agreed. The more you engage with the community, the better. I'd even like to see behind the scenes photos once in a while.
Probably not best to add goals now. No doubt they've gotta work out the already paid for shows first.

Just went to their YouTube page to check if they've uploaded the podcast yet and cracked up when I noticed their name is still set to "Coming Soon."
It won't be on YouTube, it'll be on the Patreon page for backers until Friday, then it'll appear there.
