    Loved the campaign, this was so good. I checked out this channel thanks to Dom's work on NRB, and now listening to two campaigns I'm inspired to run my own campaign ASAP! Also, very cool teaser at the end . Spoiler . . . . Would looove to see these guys return in a Delta Green campaign. Their predilection towards violence might suit them well

    Finnish folklore in the middle of this: In Finnish, there were several words for bear, both the actual name of it which shouldn't be uttered unless you were trying to summon the bear for a specific purpose... And all the different nicknames that you used to refer to it as needed or desired. And in case the bear came, and was killed, you had to hold a combined funeral and wedding party for it, peijaiset - marrying some lovely lass to the bear's body and ghost to appease it, to make it less sad and upset, allowing it to be reborn as another living bear instead of lingering near as a spirit.

    • @hrani
      @hrani 2 дні тому

      As a modern Finnish person I can off the top of my head recall a bunch of the names, as well as at least one song you could have sung to the bear to make it go lightly and go back to sleep, and it's a children's song! Folklore, it's great! 😸

      Additionally, I'm from a city where we were traditionally seen as wind witches, and sailors would come from all over to purchase favourable winds. On the other hand, just a little bit from here is where a bunch of Swedish raiders came in at one point, and were so utterly terrified by mad Finns in the woods and hills, that they swore to never ever come over here again. It took the Swedish monarchy to do that, much later. There's also a legend of a country lad taking an axe to a bishop because he was upset at the preaching, which we're quite fond of.

    At first, I thought the title was kind of silly. But the setting and world-building, the mystery, the build up, the horror, the characters and performances - it's been amazing, I'm fully engrossed, I've only the finale left and I can't wait! And there are so many more videos to watch still. Keep up the wonderful work!

    I really like the editing of this series! All of the details with the radio broadcasts, the background environmental noises and sound effects are great, the music is fun. There are some moments throughout the series, such as 19:45, where the music nearly drowns out the voices, which would be my only complaint

    Great series - Dom was obviously awesome, and I loved Iggy Sugar! I can see that there is a vague trigger-warning in the description, but feel that some specific themes really need highlighting - the sudden appearance of abortion as a theme came out of nowhere for me, and is pretty distressing for many. Still, now I feel obliged to go back and work my way back through the AP back-catalogue! X
