Hello, welcome to the Ox Ventured D&D podcast now with less D&D than ever before because we are actually listening to our first season of Blade in the Dark, which is a TTRPG that is set in a sort of Victorian steam punk world full of heists and crimes lovely, lovely crimes.

I'm joined today by special guest Ellen.

Hello, is that correct?

Yeah, and I am my channel and I play Barnaby the Butcher for to skew the third in this particular adventure and all the other ones that I'm in in blazing the dark.

So how's it going, Ellen? How's your week been so far?

Good, good, busy. I'm excited because as of recording last night Nintendo didn't Nintendo direct.

I see more tears of the kingdom Metroid Prime has just got a remaster just released.

There's all sorts of exciting things.

Yeah, but basically it's sort of a double edged sword when they're good for us on Oxford because it's like all exciting and then it's like, oh no, I have to come.

All these games make some stuff.

All Nintendo is good and Nintendo as far as I'm concerned.

So let's talk a bit about Blade in the Dark.

Obviously, if you've been following this podcast, you will have listened to the first of our heists, Deadman's Dead.

This episode is going to be a heist called Iron Hooks Bounty.

But I think given that it's the first time that either of us have been on the podcast to talk about blades.

I thought we talk a little bit about our characters, right?

Who will have been introduced to listeners of the podcast, but maybe a bit of background on what was the genesis of Lilith?

And what, you know, what appealed to you about playing that particular archetype and that character?

Well, people will know from playing Meryl when I like being able to communicate with people who aren't human.

So like animals and plants and all that sort of stuff.

A formerly human.

And the formerly human. That's what I get to do as a whisper.
