i think TRAOD is the most underated game in the tr series

AOD is the best Tomb Raider game. Theres just something about it. Forever obsessed

Unpopular opinion but I absolutely love this game! It’s one of my favourite and I’m always hoping they will remaster it and maybe carry on the storyline 🤞🏻🥰😍

Thanks Chris and Jenni, it's lovely seeing AOD more alive than ever with the help of fans and TR enthusiasts such as yourselves 😊

16:23 That artwork of Father Patrick with his white hair from the latter two Ireland levels really does look like Ted Crilly.

12:30 Jenni’s not kidding. I won’t spoil but I’ll give you a hint: Rouzic in AOD, especially Jenni’s sequel is basically Moriarty from the Young Sherlock Holmes movie, except he’s Czech, not Egyptian. For the kids in the audience born past 2005, he’s also like Sander Cohen if he wasn’t a large ham.

Reading the novel now, I’ve gotten to an entire chapter dedicated to such a past game reference and boy does it sound promising. It’s after Castle Kreigler from the Lost Dominion game (partially based on Murti’s version, not the TRLE). It brings to light something about this past location I never considered until now, after an almost throwaway reference to it in the previous book’s Hall of Seasons chapters.

I love the music where the lights move up and down.

Thanks for this amazing opportunity to chat and share our mutual love for AoD - and to ramble about the secret project that's been beavering away behind the scenes for the last few years 😂🥰❤

Best game in the franchise. Best story, best OST, best Lara

in my opinion TRAOD was the best Tomb Raider game, such a shame they didn’t make it a trilogy as originally planned 😢

J.R. Milward has done us a community service and she deserves her flowers💐! I'm late to the party but as a long-time TR fan and with AOD being my favorite of the franchise, this has made my year. I won't be surprised if she never sees this, but I'm just curious what made her decide to give her hard work away for free? I would have loved to purchase a copy instead and support another writer 💝

I am so happy I found this community! This is exciting and Jenni not only has a golden voice, but a mind of a genius! I mean I am so surprised by the AOD community!!!

Aye! I recognize Jeni! She was a guest on the Brotherhood of Gaming channel during their AOD speed run! It's was good commentary! Also, the guys on that channel would make good future guest for Raidercast.

I'd like to see a lego tomb raider compilation of the CORE era. That cancelled proposal of a Indy and Lara cross over in Lego would have been funny imo but Lucas Arts were salty at CORE for 'stealing their idea' so TT didn't make that cross over.

I hope there will be an audio novel too, The dude who voices Trent has some talent.

I am so very thankful for what you do for the TR community. Your passion is inspiring!

Спасибо за Ваш труд! Так радостно осознавать, что в мире есть столько верных фанатов этой прекрасной серии, которые не дают ей померкнуть!

I'm replaying this game now and listening to the audio book it fantastic!

Oh, my goodness. I'm so envious towards you Jenni for the ability to envision and craft this world with Murti's blessing and inspiration. I've loved AOD ever since it came out and I'd love to write something as researched and detailed as he did. Thanks Chris for making this awesome episode!

Thrilled to hear that the third book is hopefully coming out this year as well. Can't wait to get my hands on Path of the Black Alchemist and give it a read :D

I still have a love/hate relationship with AOD. So much missed potential. I wish it would get a remaster.

I seriously cannot wait for this to come out, I’m so excited!

This AOD month makes me appreciate this game a lot more :) The dark atmosphere was also my first impression, it was dark but not depressing like Kairo...more like a big thriller with a tomb Raider, almost gothic like and crime touch :) The rain in the Backstreets with the lights and music was amazing. I can unterstand that it can be a great free feeling to work on something alone, nice that she is doing her thing, but also that she works with references :) This artefact Collector from the cabal is nightmare fuel! Truly a Kurator Of Doom :o Morgau seems to be like an interesting anti-hero or a Rival. :o Father Patrick ❤ I'm one of the few people who did enjoy the first and third level of chronicles teen levels :) and the Priest was truly cool! Great Idea to bring back some people of Laras Past :) 19:00 great reading, I got goosebumbs 💙 Well it makes sense: Lara is by no means free of the crimes the police things she did. She might has revenged her Mentor and saved the world (again) but she has lost everything and the enemies are still waiting, looking forward how this will be handeld in the novels, since Lara has a big darkness to carry and to find a way out of it, that began when she almost died in trIV. Karel seems to be like Natla: you did destroy my monster producing pyramied? There are other ways do doom the world xD...sounds dangerous that he did survive the Beam through his chest :o You can tell like with Murty how much Jenni is enjoying her work, this research details and working first on the world around is amazing. Its great to hear that Lara will have character development with highs and downs in those novels, amazing how Jenni feels about Laras personal journey. Also happy to hear how you all support each other with your projects :o its important to have people and friends around one to help with such ideas or worries with it :) Amazing Podcast again, thank you so much!

It's true. For the time period, you had to be there. It was epic

Definitely getting my hands on these books

First big mistake back in 2003: Rushing this game. Second mistake: Not finishing it

Oooooh this is exciting ❤

Hey Chris, I’m loving the AOD SPAM ❤ TR is so lucky to have such community like ours. I hope CD can appreciate what you do for the franchise!!!

Thank you for your effort especially in this month :)!

Haunting beautiful!

I love both of your excitement! This is gonna be so fun ("fun" being a relative term, especially with characters like Rouzic :D ). Also I wonder if Gunderson's personality will be explored in relation to Ullsgarth, I'd love to see the rivalry! And the interactions between Kurtis and Morgau will sure be interesting judging by the snippet, if he trusted her so readily. Which also means that she wasn't immediately hostile? Or not all the time considering Lara's mention of havign been overpowered? That's really cool because as much fun as fights are, more different kinds of interactions bring out more sides of the characters too! I'm very characters-and-interactions focused person, if it wasn't already clear :D Also yes, Murti inspired many of us I think, and I hope Jenni's book will bring even more inspiration to other people. Imagine if the TR fandom actually experienced a fanfic boom after its release👀

I think whinston sets up all lara's adventures with actors/remote controle animals and special effects with lara having blank bullets. To keep her busy and sane because he cares bout her like a daughter. Or he's just psychotic lol

This is amazing thank you thank you, i havent read the first one but im gunna now, will there be audiobook versions coz i love Jenni's voice 💙💙 (found the audiobook)

I'm just as obsessed with Tomb Raider as you lmao

I hope your books inspire the sequels to come

I sure miss zip and Winston in legend and the other game I’m not sure. It’s been years since I can play games I broke my right hand my fingers can’t hold on the Xbox 360 controller.

Lara looked like a 9 year old in chronicles area of the isles.

EEeeeeeeeeeee! :D Can't wait :D

Is it a physical Book or only an E-Book ?

Thank you Chris. Just, this. 🥹🥹🥹💚
