It's now time for us to go, and leave you two alone. Hope will carry you through. You have done enough. Today, our story draws to a close. It's our final GKB day, and we're honoured to bring to you our Epilogue: Beginning. What an incredible journey this has been, from start to finish. 🧵

Our Epilogue is only 3 days away. So enjoy another tender GKB behind the microphones. It’s almost time, dear Heretics, we won’t keep you — or them — waiting much longer. And remember: if your GM isn’t this locked in to your love story, you’re doing something wrong.

Our Epilogue is just a little over a week away, and we cannot wait to share it with you. We’ve been through so much, dear Heretics. So enjoy this behind the mics of GKB. Because a #sunshineinflight moment this special is too good to keep to ourselves. You’ve — and they’ve — earned it.

We're always so concerned about looking back. But what happens when we look forward? Are you the person you wish to be? Will you forgive yourself if you're not? It's GKB day & we are back with Interlude 5: Forgiving, checking in on two characters who have faced oblivion & come out the other side.

"It's just a hug brother" This week's episode of Godkiller Balance by @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social is unreal. Genuine pain, incredible soundscaping, phenomenal character choices and just proper devastation.

You don't want to look at it. You don't want to see. But you need to. The Weave has a story for you, and you need to look at it to know. But be careful.. while you are watching, who is watching you? It's GKB day and we're back with Episode 11: Enlightening, which is out now wherever pods are cast!🧵

What would @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social do in service of his god? 🔥 Only one more sleep until we meet Avaris Kershel, the Scion of Perdition — servant to the great and terrible Ashmedai, played by Cody Heath — and believe us when we say you’re not ready, not even close.
