Hi everyone. Sorry for the radio silence over the last month. Today, we're sharing an announcement from Lauren on the end of Bucks County By Night, and our (hopefully temporary) hiatus on new episodes. Adulting is tough and we're sorry to say it's impacting our ability to record at this time.   Thank you everyone for listening to the show and we hope to have more adventures for you in the not so distant future!

While Elias is, uhm... occupied with Lillian, Lewis and Isaac take advantage of the down time to look into the Crimson order and the Blade of Cain. How do vampires do deep research online? It's really just like when non-kindred do it. These vampires just happen to do their web searching while sucking on the blood of a human victim they loaded up with Mountain Dew.   We have sexy new merch designed by Lauren that features Lillian and Elias!

Elias and Lillian hog the spotlight in this episode, meeting up at her house where she is hosting a party. Lillian leads Elias to a more intimate setting where they can chat. A lot has happened since they last spoke, and Elias has some updates. While he was clearly planning on sharing some of what he's learned, Lillian turns up the charm to get him to spill everything.   Will Elias betray the trust of his allies to get what he wants? What benefit does Lillian see in working with him? And most importantly, how do the toreador party?     We have sexy new merch designed by Lauren that features Lillian and Elias!

Solomon plays a haunting voicemail from Elaine, recorded just before her murder. The message hints at a cryptic package she sent to Solomon, one he's been concealing and hasn't opened yet. Solomon's guest, the nun, believes the murder may revolve around an ancient artifact containing great power! Could that be what's in the package? Also, what frowned upon word does Elias learn he needs to scrub from his vocabulary? And will he make it to his meeting with Lillian?    We have a sexy new merch designed by Lauren that features Lillian and Elias!

Our Kindred travel back to Solomon's shop for their midnight appointment. But they are unable to enter until they agree on the proper etiquette for opening the door. Inside Lewis and Solomon meet face to face for the first time, and they actually seem to hit it off! Even with a bit of rambling from Lewis and Isaac.    Elias is not thrilled by the prospects of his potential immortality seeing what long life has apparently done to the minds of his companions. But that is quickly forgotten when Solomon introduces an unexpected guest. Is this new person a friend or a foe? And Solomon shares what may be some of the last words from the murder victim!     Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?

The party meets up with Hendricks. They get the low down on where August stands with kindred politics and the recent regime change. And Hendricks has some very unkind things to say about Toreadors right to Elias's face!   Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?

A new night begins with Elias waking up from his sleepover at Isaac's place. He may have had to crash in a really morbid setting, but at least he got the top bunk! And even better, there's leftover clothes to try on from all the bodies that have passed through the morgue! Elias however is not enthusiastic about that.   Lewis checks in on his herd before doing any other disgusting things a Nosferatu does to start their day. The party then makes a plan to follow up with Solomon. They don't want to show up empty handed! And Lewis reaches out to his buddy Hendricks in what may be one of the worst phone calls ever.   What other daily vampire routines will we get some insight into? And how many times will Mike forget Ben's character name in one episode?    -----   Hey everyone! You'll notice in this episode that Kyle was not able to join us due to other obligations. At the time we were unsure of the length of his absence so we danced around it in the episode. As of the release of this he has still been unable to rejoin us so we wanted to make sure you are aware that the character of Dart will be out of the story going forward. We hope Kyle is able to come back in the future but for now the cast will be Mike, Leach and Ben with Lauren as the storyteller.

The mission to stealthily break into Solomon's shop and search for clues to his connection to the murder victim Elaine is not off to a good start! Dart has gone into a full rage in bear mode, climbing up electric poles and scaring bystanders. It's up to Isaac to turn on his vampiric charm and bring Dart back down to his normal, only slightly grumpy animalistic self! Thankfully there's also time for Lewis to drop some bear puns as well.   Seeing that sneaking up to the shop is no longer an option, Elias takes some initiative and gives up on breaking in quietly. However it quickly becomes apparent that Solomon is more than prepared to deal with unwelcome guests, which leads to tense negotiations!   Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?

Concluding their unexpected meeting with August Crane and Lewis's friend H, the kindred head out to continue their murder investigation. After they explore the area around the odd pyramid August calls home that is. Which almost leads to one of the team dying a very stupid true death. Then it's off to scout out the shop belonging to Solomon in an attempt to gather more clues.   Will they have time to stop and smell the roses? Do kindred pay taxes? How do Nosferatu use a GPS? Is a paranoid old human more than a match for our group of vampires? And what happens when Dart loses his shit?    Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?

The kindred are taken to meet Sarah's father, another nosferatu named August Crane. They are offered a selection of snacks that are not necessarily appetizing to everyone there. It seems August has questions about their investigation, which is taking place in his backyard. And he is surprisingly willing to answer the questions of his guests in turn. What are his motivations? And what connections does he have to the murder investigation?    Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?

We pick things up with our crew of kindred confronting the seemingly young girl they found spying on them. She beckons them to follow her back to Lewis's van where they get their first good look at her, and it becomes immediately clear that she is a fellow vampire.   She invites the group to meet her father and takes a ride with Isaac and Lewis in the van. What things will she discuss with Lewis that make Isaac cringe in disgust? And more importantly, what happens to Dart's body when he transforms into animals? And will it haunt everyone involved, especially listeners, for the rest of this show?    *Release schedule update* We will be releasing new episodes the first Wednesday of the month going forward.   Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?

After dealing with the trauma of Dart bringing a snack to the van, Isaac and Lewis decide to take a break from playing Pong to continue with the murder investigation. Isaac uses his medical connections to get them into the morgue to examine the victim's body. It turns out he is totally in his element when he is in a medical facility! Dart is still a little angry about his tasty human gift being rejected by the others and he flies off in the form of an owl. Lewis calls animal control on Dart. Isaac does forensic things. Elias gets treated like an intern. And Dart mad owl eyeballs a kid before dive-bombing them! What did this kid do to get the death from above treatment? How old are the printers in Lewis' van? And what creepy visual does Storyteller Lauren portray to the players that has them worried about her chiropractic health?!      Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck   Are you enjoying the show?

While investigating the scene of the murder they've been tasked with solving, Dart notices a shadowy figure watching them from a distance. He quickly gives chase. Not curious about that at all, Isaac and Lewis decide to check out the aesthetics of the neighbor's backyard. Meanwhile, Elias gets bored and goes to the nearby bar to continue the investigation. Dart soon follows and engages with a couple of people in ways the other Kindred are not prepared for!    Proclaimed by the Storyteller Lauren as the "most like ridiculous game of Vampire the Masquerade I have ever fucking played in my life." It's Vampire, but played by these fucking guys!      Get your VANpire merch featuring new art by Lauren now!  https://www.teepublic.com/user/intelligencecheck     Are you enjoying the show?

Season 3 starts right now! We're playing Vampire: The Masquerade and Lauren is in the storyteller seat! She's created a tale of murder, intrigue, and passion set in the world of the Kindred.    Join us as four mysterious figures approach a designated meeting place north of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Some of these elusive creatures walk out in the open, others slink through the deepest shadows of the night. And only they know their motivations for being there.      Just a couple quick notes for you all. We will be releasing new episodes in the Bucks County By Night series every 4 weeks. We've loved being able to release something for you all every other week for these last 7 years! Unfortunately it's been increasingly difficult to get everyone together so for now we're going to release less frequently to make sure we can tell this story with the attention from us that it deserves.   Regular listeners will know that our original intention was to continue Kyle's story with our ongoing characters for Season 3. Kyle had to step away from running the game and Lauren was gracious enough to take on the role (she's amazing at it). We definitely hope to get back to Namee, Rady, Violexx, Jag and Way one day and will keep you updated on developments. Our discord is a great place to get the latest news on everything related to the show!   Thanks for listening!   New merch is now available!
