Hey guys, so in the last few episodes we seem to be going through a dry spell with regard to views. We at the channel have talked about it, and we have a feeling it's probably due to the new format - 2x 1 hour episodes per week is a lot more of a time commitment than 1x 30min episode once a week. If you viewers would refer, we will dial it back to the original format. Leave a comment below or advice on how to fix our slow few weeks!

I haven't been following along lately due to PLS (personal life syndrome). Getting back into. I would second your idea - 30 minute sessions are the sweet spot to listen to, and if you truly want to push out your sessions as fast possible, it's totally ok to release multiple videos. For me, it's especially easier to digest shorter segments than follow along for a straight hour.
Thanks, Cogniczar - our next three episodes, featuring Jonah in a solo mission as he cleanses Lord-Captain Jebediah's ship of vile cultists, will be released in hour long segments as they have a;ready been edited and cued up, but following this we will return to the regular half-hour format.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xn685IpPHA
In this small series of standalone episodes, Jonah Keough sets out on a personal vendetta against a sinister cult aboard Lord-Captain Jebediah's vessel. In facing off against cultists of Chaos, Jonah finds himself drawn closer to the dark temptations of corruption than ever before. All he has for allies are a confused crewman, a heretical priest, and an excessively pyromaniacal tech-priest.

Hey guys,
Unfortunately due to real life syndrome, the next episode of Dark Heresy: Second Edition aka the Darkening won't be live for a couple more days. Due to Real Life Syndrome we have all been out of kilter with releasing content for the past few weeks, but we are hoping to return to our usual Saturday evening release schedule this weekend.
In the meantime, gives us a Like and don't forget to subscribe!
Cheers,

Aaaaaand we’re back! Finally! With consistency again, hopefully! Without further ado, here’s episode 18!
In the final days of the acolyte cell's journey through the demonic Warp to the Hive World of Khador, the rest of Gordon's warband get up to some surpassingly nonproductive shenanigans. Feasts are devoured, officers are impersonated, and dresswear is pilfered as the acolytes take some time to enjoy the luxury around them before they embark on their hellish new quest to bring down the enigmatic Timothy Verst.

Jonah can't believe we're still on this warp-damned ship. Follow the misadventures of the acolyte cell as they continue to indadvertedly ruin the lives of loyal Imperial servants in their less than epic quest to reach the surface of the Hive World Khador. The hunt for Timothy Verst and the Iron Gauntlets begins here!
We've also undergone a bit of renovation on our channel page - some of you might recognize a certain Ministorum chirurgeon sporting our cover image. Also, we've officially changed our name from Crystal Geyser Gaming to Turtlehawk Games, in order to ensure no one accidentally affiliates us with a certain manufacturer of bottled water.

While Aaron undergoes initiation into the guild's militia, Jonah faces the grim darkness of standardized testing. But what is the guild's connection to the Iron Gauntlets?

We’re sorry it’s a day late, but technical issues with our usual video editor has caused some complications – hence, we’ve had to download a new video editor, and side effect of the free trial is the watermark on the image. Hopefully we can do something about that.

An Update From Turtlehawk Games:
Hey all! After a few months of technical difficulties, real life syndrome, and other such trivialities, we at Turtlehawk Games are going to begin re-uploading content to our channel for you to enjoy! Starting next week, we will be brining out new episodes of our previous campaigns such as Dark Heresy: Unsanctioned and Dark Heresy Second Edition, as well as beginning some new games like Rogue Trader and Black Crusade. In addition, we will also begin uploading content from campaigns we have already finished, yet never got the chance to upload, such as our Deathwatch game and backburner episodes of CHS: The Diana Files.
We are tentative to commit to a define schedule yet, but expect many more updates in the future. Catch up on the newest episode of Dark Heresy: Second Edition here, and, if it takes your fancy, also check out our pilots for Rogue Trader and Black Crusade.

Episode 25 is live!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GrukgvbbjM
The Adeptus Arbites prepare a special taskforce to retrieve Aaron from custody of High Spire, while Beaver continues infiltrating the hierarchy of Timothy Verst's organization. Later, the acolytes meet the governor of Khador, the man they are oath-sworn to protect with their lives.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzL-z8CPUUc
IMPORTANT: READ THE DESCRIPTION.
We lost the audio file for the battle of the governor's palace. During the battle, the Iron Gauntlets were defeated and the governor was saved. Inquisitorial forces were dispatched the High Spire to arrest Timothy Verst, and Jonah and Aaron interrogated numerous gangers as to the location of their leader. After consulting the Book, Jonah reported his fears to Lord Gordon that the Golden Throne might be malfunctioning and that the Emperor may soon be lost. After Gordon reacted...apathetically...Jonah reported his findings to his fellow acolytes. Aaron, in an attempt to seize the book for himself, nearly killed Jonah, and succeeded in blinding him through the use of his power sword. Jonah lives only thanks to Isis' prodigal aim. After this, the book was destroyed, releasing lesser daemons that corrupted reality around them. While Isis and Aaron were unaffected, Jonah's already twisted form mutated from exposure to the warp, transforming him into a renegade psyker. Following his recuperation, Gordon revealed the acolytes that he had deliberately planted the book on Jebediah's ship to test them, a test they had all failed. Isis and Aaron were then dispatched to investigate a rival of Gordon's, the puritanical inquisitor Caine, while Jonah dismissed himself to return to Sporn to care for those wounded after the infamously explosive "Parade Incident."
Now, the acolyte cell has relocated to Sporn to continue their investigation of Thaddeus. Follow along as Jonah receives some new eyes, Aaron trains the cell's new ward, and Isis applies to the Administratum for a name change, to avoid any association will an infamous pre-Heresy terrorist group.

Hey guys, just a quick message here explaining why we haven't uploaded many videos in a while. I'm re-editing our previous videos to try and make them more concise, along with fixing audio quality and re-uploading them with original artwork. We hope to have re-uploaded all our old content by the end of the month, with new episodes coming out after that. Hope to see you then!

After Max assassinates an Overwatchers security guard, he's thrown into a dark negotiation that sends Jonah and Aaron racing to the upper hive.
Hey all, unfortunately I have some bad news.
What with real life, the amount of RPGs we play, and our very busy schedules, I’m afraid to say that maintaining this channel has gone beyond the scope of my capabilities. We’ve had a lot of fun this past year sharing our games and stories with you, but for now it’s time for Turtlehawk Games to close up. I’ll be deleting the channel and its associated content, but if anyone has any questions about how the stories and campaigns turned out I’ll still be active on the Fantasy Flight Forums so feel free to ask me anything. To all of you who subscribed, liked, or even just listened we thank you for your support, and wish you all the best of luck with your own campaigns in the future. Maybe someday we’ll be back.
