While I completely agree, I think it’s too late, this being the last season of impossible landscapes, I would be happily shocked if anyone died before the last episode and if this were a movie/tv show, I’d put my money on cumstone sacrificing himself, Bobby involuntarily dying, Neil Breen embracing the insanity and Vicki being a coin toss on making it out. I was fully exporting Bobby to be turned into a red mist by the clown last finale. I’m interested in how they treat this last season because from where they are at now until the end of the book, I wasn’t really a fan when I read it. Regardless, I’m 100% gonna be watching it all on release whenever it comes out (assuming late summer).
I agree, but I think up until now I think Joe’s been right in how he’s pulled punches. Because of it being a streamed show, and the nature of how Impossible Landscapes is built, having the continuity of characters helps the presentation. Honestly, a character dying in part 2 would be awful because of the nature of part 3. You can (and most games do) shoe horn in new PCs, which is fine at the table, but I think the show (due to the tone of DG) would lose something if that’d happened.
Honestly, I love how GiTT works because while it’s not your typical bloodbath lethal DG game, it’s turned out to be something better: a character study of each of these oddballs.
I've been rewatching GiTT to prepare for season 6 and damn... All of them made such wonderfully twisted characters. I just passed the episode in season 4 where they were talking about how Cumstone is such a strange choice for this kind of show (I think Skid or Joe actually compared him to a Street Fighter character), but that's oddly appropriate because the dark surreal humor he brings counterbalances the mind-fuckery horror of the whole thing in a really satisfying way.
It's run during the Gatewalkers videos for the last three weeks.

Man I hope they stick the landing on the last 2 seasons. Joe needs to stop pulling his punches and really let the game play out. I'm not really sure if the players are going to have a load of fun though. The last 2 books are really on the rails.
Likely due to the “on rails” nature of the last two books I think I remember Joe saying he planned on this being the last season of IL. While I’m pumped for it to start streaming, I’m a bit worried that the players are going to feel a lack of agency, that’s the vibe I felt when reading the text.
Yeah, I've read the books and listened to a different podcast about it and the last book was just a expositionfest till the end. The lore is AWESOME but the players just kind of sit there twiddling their thumbs.
They said on the Fod a few months back that they were hoping for a few weeks break after TFC ends, but not too much. Early/mid July might have been mentioned.
I have a feeling that they will wait until after Gen Con before releasing.
I think on a past FOD Joe mentioned that they were recording eps of the new season. But that is all they said about it if I remember correctly
Think he said on the fod this week, "First ep(s) in the can!"
Characters need to start dying. Bobby should be dead 100 percent.

What teaser?

I saw that and was like "What the hell is this? Is it a sponsor ad? Weird" and never connected the dots. I'm a dumbass.
They have been teasing Season 6 via their YT videos, so if you’re an audio only listener you wouldn’t have seen it

I talked to Joe at the Vancouver live show and he said they are only doing one more season of Impossible Landscapes.

They started recording a few weeks ago. Nothing solid, but most likely some time after Gen Con
