SPOILER ALERT! No one. (We reveal the most purchased table in our kickstarter) S5E17 

Doug getting it right is such a proof he is in touch with his target audience

Doug: “Bobby is good as causing trouble but not solving trouble. He’s a visionary, not an implementer.” Bobby: *...all I heard was* “I’m a visionary!😁”

I think Bobby missed the point of what most people said in the other video. Getting to know all the other people in the Wyrmwood shop, their quirks and backgrounds is a huge part of what made Wyrmlyfe interesting to a lot of us. While we generally agree that from a storyline perspective following Doug is great, getting to know all the diferent people in the company made us feel more connected with the company. Heck, if we didn't know about Big Tony, Theo, Zoe, and all the others in the shop following Wyrmlyfe would be less interesting to me. tl;dr: Sure following the big picture is interesting, but for a lot of us it's also about the people behind the scenes.

Me last episode: shut the hell up Bobby, Doug is NOT the “Main Character” Me this episode: Yes. Doug. You tell them how it IS!

Answer: Wyrmwood. Doug is a convenient microcosm for the business, but no amount of Doug can make up for an interview or interaction with Fabrice, Big Tony, Cynthia, etc. I'm also a huge fan of Jason-related segments, because those tend to actually get back to woodworking in some way. And silly as it sounds, I started watching (and continue to watch) because Wyrmlife is woodworking-adjacent.

If you want to expand Wyrmlife I think it would be very cool to have 1 episode a week where you show the craftmans creating all the different products you make and the decision making behind how they do it. I would love to see you hit that type of audiance with those type of ASMR wood working videos. Similar to the Matt Mercer DM screen video.

When you can guess the popularity of your product, that is someone who is familiar with his customer base.

Lilliput would likely have done better if the survey allowed for ordering multiple tables, but it explicitly said to not worry about that for now.

"Bobby drives a Bucatti" This video is just an easy example of why Doug is the main character. The montage of Doug's day was really entertaining content.

I think the thing with the whole "Who's the star of Wyrm Lyfe?" question is that yes, Doug is the main character, but in a TV show the main character isn't the focus of every episode. Even though Aang is the main character of _Avatar,_ there are episodes that focus on Katara or Zuko, or even Appa. I think it's good that you guys have identified the important role Doug plays as the central focus of _Wyrm Lyfe,_ but I hope you don't forego an interesting episode just because Doug isn't central to that particular story.

Yeah, I stayed until the end, but honestly, Jason's "splurging" comment was way better than the Bucatti comment.

100% agree with Doug on Wyrmlife. Also, Jason is Armin.

When a CEO explains thing in anime references I know I like the company

Answer: Doug. The reason is because of his connection, vision, and dedication to the Wyrmwood brand and the employees. Plain and simple. But a "real star" knows how to share the limelight, passing the ball (as it were) to his fellow actors (or employees in this case), and work together. I am so envious of the employees at Wyrmwood, for having a boss who cares so passionately for his team... rather than simply looking at the bottom line only. He cares about that too, of course.

I personally watch wrym lyfe for the business aspect of things. I currently work as a digital marketer/graphic designer for 2 local companies so hearing about how you guys have evolved your marketing over the years and continue to innovate is really cool. I also run a side gig of woodworking making living room furniture and some dining tables so all of the crafting is awesome too. Doug's CEO input on everything definately produces a multitude of content that just keeps on giving. Im also the guy in my friend group who owns all the games so I love me some Ed time lol. I have missed Jason, Bobby, and Gates in the more recent vids. One thing I wasn't super fond of was the old interview questions for people who never got any camera time. Super neat idea and promotes a good culture within the company but from a viewer perspective it feels like I'm getting some character backstory for someone who I only see for 3 minutes of air time. I binge watched from season 1 when I discovered you guys and can say its continually improved season after season, and I agree this most recent season was nearly flawless. Needed some more Doug yelling at Bobby though lol. Cheers!

Doug is always 110% with his decision making and assessment of the situation. He’s totally right on the wyrmlife front.

The "I love data" smile from Jason 100% channeled his inner psychopath there for a second.

We need those WyrmLyfe shields to go up for sale. Answer: Doug and Bobby. You always need a protagonist and an antagonist. I’ll let you decide who is who :)

What they don’t realize is that there isn’t just one main character. It’s the group they have that makes Wyrmlyfe actually work. JV’s editing/filming style, Bobby and Doug’s banter and how they can just bounce off each other in front of the camera, Jason’s guest appearances, etc. It honestly feels like a better, unscripted version of The Office and that’s what I like about it. Not just Doug, not just Bobby, but the main group they have in almost all the episodes and when their not there it doesn’t really feel right. When Bobby wasn’t there it, honestly, felt like something was missing. I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels like this, but just some thoughts.

Weekly Question: Its JV. The cam work the editing. Gold.

I feel like wyrmlife has a main ensemble cast of doug, jason, bobby and jv, and losing any of those would be a detriment

I love that Doug explains that him and Big Tony have a special thing they do and then he walks by and they just have a super normal high five. If he hadn't explained it afterwards I would have been so confused.

"talk about splurging" lol

I think with the examples Bobby gave kinda shows where his head is at. He's trying to relate Wyrmlife to drama shows (Not to be confused with people who make/cover RU-vid/Celebrity Drama). but the show is a documentary (a raw, on the ground and involved documentary). There isn't one single definition of 'Documentary' beyond that its contents is non-fiction, however, Bobby follows Lorentz's "a factual film which is dramatic." definition. Which, I think, Wyrmlife wouldn't work without. That being said, not all documentaries have "main characters" and have a "focus" on a "Thing" instead. Wyrmlife as a documentary has a "focus" on Wyrmwood as a company. That is why the the content migrated to Keystone this season, even with the intention of alternating the content between the to bases, Because Wyrmwood's focus was on Keystone. Keystone had the tables which were needed for the Kickstarter. This is also why it seems like Doug is the "Main Character", he is the decision maker (CEO) within the company. His focus (to an extent) is Wyrmwoods focus which is Wyrmlife's focus. That Being said, Wyrmlife is more than just about the current focus of the company (I think this is what Bobby means When he say's Wyrmwood is just the setting). It is also about the characters of the people working there, but it shouldn't be about them as characters because then you would lose some of the humanity that makes Wyrmlife great. (I'm Not saying you're doing this, just that if you focus on who's a "character" you could inadvertently do that). Sorry for the long form formal-ish post Uni has affected how I write.

Dougs has changed. A Tesla. How dare he. Hahaha 😁 Kickstarter changing everyone. Edit: The star is the wood crafters. I miss the interviews you guys did.

See this episode was expertly shot and edited, we need more of this, whatever it takes to get it

This is just my stage manager's brain going, but maybe getting a production assistant to help in the wyrmlyfe/media could possibly be helpful? Taking to Doug's point of needing Bobby, a general, on the battlefield there can be a person on the side to handle the letters and organization. (Wow, that's basically a Hamilton. Less dying thou). Get a well-rounded person instead of being super skilled in one thing. They could be sent to where help is needed instead of just specialization. Also, the white text pop-ups are the main character!!! They make me pause episode every time!

The fact that Doug used an AoT metaphor makes me oh so happy.

I personally enjoy the walk around shop to see how people are doing and what they are working on

Bobby. JV's bit of "Doug" content is the perfect illustration of why Doug isn't the main character. Because if he was this would be an employee review channel. ;)

Doug's conversation with Bobby reminds me of one of the Marine Corps leadership principles: "Know your Marines and employ them in accordance with their ability."

Can you describe the smell in the "boring room"?

confession: the only reason i didnt try to talk my boyfriend into wenge was because espresso maple is so close that to me it's negligible.

What a great episode guys ... if this is what we have to expect going forward I think things are gonna be great for Wyrmlife.

I love the segments just walking around and talking to employees

“From the bones of trees and the skins of beasts” Wyrmlyfe is great!

And that conclusion is why Doug is CEO!

I'm loving the high amout of wyrmlife I'm getting. It always felt like once in a while I find a video in my subscriptions but now wyrmlife is a constant flow of awsome content. loving it

When Bobby replied "omg but he's so annoying" I was absolutely rolling!

I would like to give massive props to whoever chose Beartooth as the outro music. Makes this company just even more likable to me!

Honestly, wyrmlife is the reason I've chosen to go with wyrmwood for my future gaming table and accessories. I've loved the content since episode 1 but I agree this season is exponentially better in that I think it represents the team and company so much better. HOWEVER, it wouldn't hit so different if we didn't have the first 4 seasons plus the covid series to learn everyones personalities. Good stuff y'all! Also, super excited to see y'all pass that $8mil on Kickstarter. Big congrats 👏

These videos are never long enough. I could watch hours of wyrmlyfe

Bobby drives a Bucatti Also holy shit Doug. Settle down with your psychic mind powers.

Aww, I said the medium table, but I also plan on getting a Lilliput too for fun small games in front of the tv.

I know it's not the purpose of the series, but I am learning so much about teamwork and collaboration from you guys. I love it.

Bobby totally drives a bucatti :) Thank you for bringing the wyrmlings along for this ride as you work to best understand and what makes wyrmlife tick. It's pretty awesome to see a community below in the comments do their best to express why they love this content so much and what keeps them coming back. The style of the filming with the edit in mind is so interesting and honest. Bobby sharing your mind like you did last episode is always interesting since myself as a person who does similar work also struggles with what is best to focus on at a given time in growing a market or following. Keep bringing us along for the ride as we really do appreciate it.

I'm actually completely agreeing with Doug, Bobby's idea of having people trained to replace him and JV basically gives you a "copycat" style and not the actual style/vision that makes wyrmlife great.

No gonna lie, this was probably one of the funniest Wyrmlife episodes i've seen. From that splurging joke to doug getting all the table sizes correct, i was laughing and smiling. Great content guys, keep it up!

No idea how this channel ended up in my recommended but I have burned through everything faster than any Netflix bingewatch. It's like Orange County Choppers met Linus Tech tips in the same teleporter and came out the otherside with Fly-heads.

I definitely raised my eyebrows at Doug calling Bobby Eren as someone who’s current with the series.

Just wanted to say "In bteween" on the outro hit me hard today. I had never heard that song before. Listened to the whole song it just spoke to my weekly struggle. Thanks for making that accidental connection.

I'm fully onboard with MORE wyrm lyfe each week!

Wait, did I see an option to get things signed by specific people! Kickstarter add on please! I'll take: Doug, Bobby, Jason, Johny

The real star is alot like outlaw star where there is Doug as the main character but all the supporting characters are needed and still have character growth and arcs as well.

Takeaways from last video: MOAR PEOPLE OF WYRMLIFE. Cannot be stressed enough. Bobby (or JV for that matter! Although he does capture Doug rather well... LOL) get back to those wonderful one on one videos with the craftspeople of Wyrmwood! Love getting to know the backbone of the company!

I am very excited to follow this whole journey! I trust y'all with Wyrm Lyfe and so pumped to watch the whole table process

It's not the company. It's not Doug, It's not Bobby, or any ONE person, TBH. It's the interactions, the dialogue, the thoughts, ideas, and actions going between multiple identifiable personalities, and the entertaining things that happen WITH those interactions. Individually, y'all are awesomely interesting people, that have your own quirks, that each adds something to the FORMULA of Wyrm Life that brings fans in. The more people and places you add to it, the larger the Wyrm Life world becomes. Any part that then gets taken out of it, and that world shrinks, and seemingly becomes lesser for it. It never needs to be solely any one or two central person/people, but there will always be central people that help keep things in that wonderful state of flux that you guys have made. This video exemplifies this. Much love for you all.

I kind of agree with doug, I just like JV doing things, always entertaining

Nice to see back the middle episode transitions. I though that something was missing in the episodes and just now I noticed that they were missing.

Just a comment about Wyrmlyfe, I discovered it in June and it is why I ended up order a table. While I enjoy table top games, it is not my "thing" per say. I was more drawn into a company that I feel invested in and can feel not only comfortable but excited about supporting them for the quality and personality of the brand. I even raised my budget for a coffee table (size I got) between 100-1000% because I was in search of a new one and this came along. All that to say is key doing what you're doing as this obviously is working on me and I'm sure many others.

This episode has totally made up for Wednesdays episode. Doug slayed me. Don't change a bit, ya'll.

as much as Wyrmlife is becoming a reality show, it is first and foremost a "peek behind the curtain" into how Wyrmwood as a company functions, from the strategic Doug to the troublemaker Bobby to the actual product actually being made. It's proof that the craftsman's promise actually means something, and it convinces us to spam "buy" on a 10 minute old kickstarter because we have been hyped for TWO MONTHS about how excellently this table will have been designed and constructed - that it is worth it. You drive eyeballs to your products. But you do that through showing us your products and your processes, not through some reality tv show of a bunch of staff. I walked away from Corridor Digital because of that. I came because Wyrmwood was woodworking-adjacent. Don't lose that.

I love seeing how the sausage is made. Give us the behind the scenes!

man the music of this season keeps being fire

I missed the randomness of Wyrmwood, the nice chaos unfolding ever where and never knowing what will happen next

I DO see Wyrmwood as the main character. While I was watching the previous Wyrmlife, nothing any employee said was sticking for me. It wasn't until the opening here when Bobby mentioned comments that I realized how much the company being the main character resonated with me. And I've always thought that was bullshit in other media, but here I FEEL it. And I believe I feel that because of the company culture. TLDR Bobby you dumb bro (jk you smart bro, just wrong)

​Doug nails the list.... well the man knows his business!

I never thought I'd enjoy seeing behind the scenes at a gaming table company so much

Can I just say that the song choices have been supreme? This episode was good but the "recent" Volbeat choices were really what tipped me off to recognizing it.

Thanks for the sneak preview of the upcoming products and kickstarters on the white board in the red room. Looking forward to giving my dice a nice coffin.

The outro music every time!!! Well done!!!

The smaller segments are part of why we support this company. They're growing into a bigger company fast but still retaining that small company feel. Shop life is Wyrmlyfe. Also check the "Coffin Tray" on the white board in the red room. Hello Halloween kickstarter.

Doug has character. Wether smiling or being serious he commands a room. I’m not in the same room so height doesn’t play a part for me. I saw the Twitch stream and I look forward to the conversations. Really you have Thursday Twitch podcast.

I don't have the exact words to describe my input on the issue being faced towards Wyrm Lyfe and the media team, so strap in and get ready for what may be a wild ride. I fully agree with what Doug has put forward, Bobby and JV are a necessity for Wyrm Lyfe without question. The two of them are the origin and growth of Wyrm Lyfe, their interaction with whoever is the "focus" of the scene is pivotal to success or failure. That being said I do recognize Bobby's understanding that they need more manpower to crank the numbers up to achieve long term goals. I believe that the individuals brought in to the media team should start with the bulk work that takes the most time to do, or any project that just needs "X humans over Y time = thing happening" like the visualizer did. All the while the "A listers" are able to focus that time they didn't before to slap out the good shit, and with their attention not being stretched thin will find new "empty" time to grow the new team members into the long term goals of succession. There is one point I want to make that I have not seen get contested by the main crew: This is not T.V. , this is not a "storyline" show, this is a VLOG. With a understanding that there are (what have been referred to as) arcs, are just in my view "Big shit happening, and needs more than a few videos to capture it all". We have seen (Or heard) many times when Bobby has tried to manufacture a scene or narrative for it to fail or never make it out of QC, cause that is not what Wyrm Lyfe is. Wyrm Lyfe is the real shit, the day to day, the genuine interaction of the company as a whole. None of what makes Wyrm Lyfe great is scripted or sometimes even prompted, but it organically manifests. As an example from this video alone the conversation in the red room ( 10:15 or so ) where you all descend the conversation into chaos and hilarity. That's the good shit. It's impossible to make videos that are only "The good shit" but that sorta thing is why we're here. That sorta thing only comes from you all talking, and knowing each other, and can only be achieved in the social structure that has captivated the audience through the vlog. We want Wyrmwood, not a damn thing else. There will never be a script that results in the good shit. I've run out of words, so I'll leave it at that. Thank you and have a good day.

I found wyrmlyfe ~2 months ago and was drawn in by 1) woodworking 2) startup/entrepreneurship 3) geek stuff.

I love that we got a glimpse of some of the og wymlyfe peeps!

Ahh, this is the type of Wyrm Lyfe episode I've been missing!

This is how you keep the ball rolling after you has an epic conclusion to a perfect build up. Top tier entertainment.

"Bobby drives a bucatti" I stay for the music at the end

I'm dying at the Erwin, Levi, and Eren metaphor seeing as Eren apparently had the longest foresight lol

Bobby is chaos and Doug is order it’s like yin and yang. Together they play of each other. Apart they leave you wanting.

TAUNTON!!!! HOME SWEET HOME 💗💗💗 Oh, I feel like I've just returned from a long vacation. It was very fun at Keystone (5 stars, would definitely go back) but MA is always gonna be home. It's great to see the workshop alive again. It's great to see Big Tony again. That hi-5 was a pleasant surprise :D The Red Room is by far my favorite room now that it's compared side by side. (then again it's the only one with windows x'D) but still, great color choice!

This was a great episode! Funny, the friendships, the laughs. Doug getting a Tesla. It's amazing.

That final song is fantastic! Keep up with the great hits as it helps me continue to expand my music library. Oh yeah and and the content was good of course

Get some TearAid type A for the broken dust collectors! Used to repair anything from tents to coats to anything that needs to be waterproof. Solid as a house!

I for one love the secondary cast, Ed, Gates, Quinn, Tony all of em!

I feel like getting purple heart would be good just for the sake of no one else is getting it making it rarer.

More sweet Kickstart behind the scenes! Edit: Bobby drives a Bugatti ;)

You you're doing something right when everyone guesses the least 3 tables and the CEO nails the table styles in order

In this episode: Doug drums up sales for the lilliput.

"Bobby drives a Bucatti" while the Oracle of Wyrmwood rockin' that WRMLYF Tesla

Don't worry Jason. My wife and I are only getting a Lilliput right now as I am on an involuntary employment hiatus. It's all we can afford. But the modularity you have built in means we do not need to buy everything at once. We can expand when things get better.

I quite enjoyed the Doug segment. The section on finding the mess bandit made me laugh. Big T. Fun times.

Anyone else notice a lot of coffin designs on the board? Are we going to see a new coffin case? Or possible table accessories?

Bobby drives a bucatti... fun episode and I'm excited to see the massive production ramp up that is coming.

Managing by walking around is actually a thing, and it works. MBWA was the acronym for it many many years ago when I was in management.

Bobby Drives a Bucatti And the Doug walking around content was Amazing!!!!

Bobby drives a Bucatti Now, THAT is an episode!! Nailed it. (If you guys do change, I am coming out there myself to help Big Tony straighten you out)

I think, if the ending shows us anything. A successful company, has a CEO who has the finger on the pulse, not only of his company. But of their audience, he knows what his customers are buying. This is why he's successful as a CEO. The company is successful for many reasons, but Doug is defo one of them.

It's nice to be back in the og shop. I feel like it's been a really long time since we've been here. I didn't realize I missed it...
