Screenshot of a replies section. At the top is the heading “Replies” with the subheading “Includes replies that need review.”

A comment from stomp_999, posted 4 days ago, says: “Omfg... political lesbian sci-fi. I tried. I overlooked how cheesy hokey ridiculous much of this was just to enjoy a brain fluff story and listen to the story but you lost me. You lost me with the political gay bullshit. 🙄

I hope no else wastes their time on this useless drivel.”

Below the comment is a “See less” link.

A divider says “2 replies.”

The first reply is from Taylor, posted 2 days ago, saying: “My dude, you seriously clicked on a audio drama about a lesbian couple in Fallout and got angry that it was about a lesbian couple... in Fallout.”

The second reply is from Once Upon A Wasteland: A Fallout Story, posted 8 minutes ago, saying: “The show does exactly what it says on the tin. I'm genuinely baffled by your surprise, though less so than your calling the lead characters' relationship "political."”

I'll have plenty of bottlecaps to hand out/trade at #WastelandJamboree! I ordered 100 more today just to have a cushion. Looking forward to seeing the awesome designs folks have created!

These reviews always make me cackle. "Sex in (sic) the City with rainbows" was pretty good, though, I may use that in marketing! 😂

Screenshot of a review titled “Woke” with a 1/5 star rating. In the top right it says “2w ago” and “Trucker binge.” The review text reads: “Lesbian smut. Not fallout, more sex in the city with rainbows. So much so it should have its own title rather than backpack with a fallout theme to get 5 stars from fans of the game.”

In news that I think can only partially be explained by the success of the #Fallout TV show, OUAW's numbers keep going up! We're #49 on the Apple Podcasts Sci-Fi charts, and we've had nearly double the number of listens over the past 28 days that we had over the previous 28!

We haven't released a new episode in a year and a half, but new people keep discovering the show and listening. “Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal.” - Ernest Hemingway

New pins! I'll have these at the #Fallout get-together in WV in May, so be sure to get yours!

A small enamel pin resting on a wood-grain surface. The pin is shaped like a cloud or word bubble and reads “Once Upon A” in white script above the word “WASTELAND” in large cream block letters outlined in dark metal.

The back of the same pin lying flat on the wood surface. It has a shiny metal finish, two butterfly clutch pin backs, and small engraved text in the center that reads “1 OF 100.”

Here's something that I think is unique in the #audiodrama space - Once Upon a Wasteland challenge coins! They arrived today and I'm thrilled with how they turned out!

Two round enamel challenge coins on small stands on a wooden surface. The left coin is black with a gold rope edge and the words ‘Once Upon A Wasteland’ in the center and ‘A Fallout Story’ around the rim. The right coin shows two women standing close together, each aiming a pistol in opposite directions, with the Latin motto ‘PER IGNEM PER AMOREM PER MEMORIAM’ around the edge.

Close-up of a single black enamel challenge coin on a stand on a wooden surface. In the center it reads ‘Once Upon A Wasteland’ in white and gold lettering, with ‘A Fallout Story’ written around the outer rim, all bordered by a gold rope edge.

Around the white background image, the black border reads ‘PER IGNEM PER AMOREM PER MEMORIAM’ and is framed by a gold rope edge.

Although I don't do crossovers in the show itself I'm a total mark for them.😅 I indulged my love of crossovers and #StarTrek with this commission by @lukael.bsky.social featuring Beth and Lt. Erica Ortegas from #StrangeNewWorlds. I still absolutely adore it.

Two characters stand back-to-back in dynamic action poses. The character on the left is dressed in a red Starfleet uniform shirt from Star Trek, with dark pants, boots, and holding two futuristic phasers. They have short dark hair and a focused expression. The character on the right has red hair with devil horn-shaped accessories, wearing a black jacket, white top, red plaid skirt, and knee-high boots featuring the Union Jack flag. They are smiling mischievously and holding a sci-fi styled ray gun, with a Pip-Boy-like device on one arm. The background is a soft gradient from pink to blue.

The background is a pink-to-blue gradient, filled with streaks of red-orange energy blasts flying past.

These versions use smaller versions of the hero art so the full image fits on the cover. So, which do you prefer - large hero art images or small?

The cover for Once Upon a Wasteland: The Scripts - Season Two shows two female characters in an intimate embrace. The character on the left has wavy red hair and wears a white sleeveless top with a light blue skirt, gently resting her arm around the other character’s back. The character on the right has short brown hair and is dressed in a black armored bodysuit. A rifle extends into the frame from the left side, suggesting a tense atmosphere. The background is deep red with a subtle texture. The title follows the same format as Season One’s, with "Season Two" in bold yellow letters.

The cover for Once Upon a Wasteland: The Scripts - Season Three features two female characters in elegant, historical-style gowns, standing close while aiming pistols in opposite directions. The character on the left has voluminous red hair and wears a flowing green dress with intricate detailing. The character on the right has dark brown hair in an updo and wears a navy blue and white gown with a high collar. The background is a deep blue, giving a dramatic and timeless feel. The title follows the same format as the previous covers, with "Season Three" in bold yellow letters.

How about this? S2 unfortunately has to have them off-center because otherwise Odessa's face would be covered. I think the other two can have them centered though.
