Update
For those who do not have the patreon, Grizzly released an update video on the status of Riptide. He spoke about working with a writing coach named Mariana (not qsmp) who is helping him with diverse characters, sensitivity checks, and world building.
When Riptide returns Grizzly said they were going to run Jay’s solo session first. He also teased the possibility of upping the quality by using maps and getting together more however it would most likely just stay as it was. They also spoke about bonus material like a recap however that would not come out for a while.
The release date of Riptide has also changed due to behind the scenes complications and to make way for wonderlust. It is said that it is looking more towards early August when recordings and uploads would start again.
In the meantime there are some things you can look forward to to fill that Riptide shaped hole in your heart. The first being Wonderlust. Wonderlust is a new JRWI campaign that is run by Bizly. It’s out and free to watch on youtube and spotify. Another patreon exclusive is a short campaign run by Grizzly featuring Milo Mumbles in place of Charlie as he is busy. If you don’t know Milo she ran a channel with Bizly called Spittake and whether or not you can watch Spittake to see some funny Bebo moments and get to see Milo absolutely dunk on said Bebo. Another lesser known campaign Grizzly didn’t mention is he is in the midst of a non-JRWI called Shadows Over Welde which is streamed live on twitch channel AlphaAniki. It is run by Jonah Scott the person who played Ichabod as a guest character a while back. It already has a few episodes released and for those interested Grizzly plays a representative of the reformed church of lolth called Zephrael so if you like religious themes I would definitely recommend checking it out.
In terms of this blog, as there is no confirmed date I am going to move the timers to continually be moving the timer back later and later, based on speculation, until we get a confirmed date so the date is not completely accurate and more of a way to see how much time has passed.
Don’t worry I miss Riptide too. But it ain’t lastin forever.
This is the schedule I made that I am currently operating on.
