Beyond Help Episode 2: Let Them Cry, "Dirty Traitor!"

Sat, 10 May 2025 23:01:00 GMT

Content Warning:Historical war violence, depictions of historical figures, discussion of history, use of firearms, use of firearms, alcohol use, character death, irreverent humor and song lyrics, and adult language.

The adventure continues as Sinclair and The Daylight begin their travels together. Sinclair, however, has the attention span of an intoxicated gnat, and has delayed a 12 hour drive into a week and a half, stopping at countless tourist traps on their journey to Nashville, much to The Daylight's chagrin. Upon stopping at a historical fast food restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, The Daylight has had enough of his antics, and decides to take some time to partake in her favorite pastime- killing vampires. There's also a front seat display of Sinclair’s past, with a flashback to his time in the American Civil War- and how he assassinated General Stonewall Jackson.

Beyond Help stars Mel Nichols as The Daylight and Lauren Tucker as Countess Sanguine Amanto

Beyond Help Episode 1: Me Here, at Last, on the Ground

Sat, 10 May 2025 23:00:00 GMT

Content Warnings:Irreverent humor and song lyrics, loud noises, use of firearms, public displays of violence, character death, use of alcohol, and adult language. The long trip starts here! Sinclair, a million-year-old minor level deity with a penchant for vagrancy and financial scheming, has been, for the first time in many hundreds of thousands of years, staying in one place and biding his time, forced into suburban settlement through mysterious circumstances. He's become friends (?) with some of the local vampire population and found a restaurant with good boneless wings, but even those aren't enough to keep him from being agitated by seemingly endless waiting. What is he waiting for? For the centerpiece of his long task, a mythological vampire hunter who slashes through the undead like the sun cutting away darkness, known simply as The Daylight. But when she finally arrives, she's far from being up to a conversation with Sinclair, and quickly goes on the attack. Can Sinclair, in a weakened state, keep up with this woman with the destructive personality of a tornado? Why has Sinclair been forced to stand still in time? Why does The Daylight hate vampires so much? And will she be lured to working with him when he reveals his task- hunting down Countess Sanguine Amanto?Beyond Help stars Mel Nichols as The Daylight and Lauren Tucker as Countess Sanguine Amanto.

Sat, 21 Dec 2024 05:00:00 GMT

Sinclair is back, just in time for the Holidays! The daffy deity just wants to enjoy a lonely Christmas with his cat, a copious count of cocktails, and enough Detroit-style pizza to feed the militia of a small state. But a visit from the ghost of an occasional business associate drags Sinclair into the heart of a neo-Dickension nightmare. But Sinclair is no Scrooge, and the future holds little anxiety for a deathless creature of a million years of age. The past however... Will Sinclair's love of alcohol keep him safe from his past, or will he be forced to face his many, many mistakes? And what is the gold ring around his hat, that he claims has crippled his powers? Find out in this festively depressing adventure!
