General clarification on work content


On July 29th 2021, Bruva Alfabusa [[https://youtu.be/OXljeaktnDA announced]] that the series ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' is on indefinite hiatus due to Creator/GamesWorkshop's [[https://www.games-workshop.com/en-WW/Intellectual-Property-Guidelines zero tolerance policy]] [[FanWorkBan on fan animation]].

On December 18, 2021 Alfabusa released an animated video ''not'' based on ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'', but taking place in ''Franchise/TheWorldOfDarkness'' (specifically ''TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning'') called ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1Kc0xuYnfQ&list=PLyiDf91_bTEjbJC0ao08BYZpsSoqk8-MN&ab_channel=BruvaAlfabusa Hunter: The Parenting]]'' with several characters lifted from ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' as a UniversalAdaptorCast, this time portraying a clan of Hunters lead by [[CaptainErsatz The Big-D]]. Alfabusa has also rechristened his group as ''Ogre Popennang Productions''.

''Hunter: The Parenting'' takes place in the year 2006 in the county of Norfolk, UK, the family of main characters living just outside the township of Warham. It's slated to last 15 episodes according to Alfabusa's patreon.

For those unfamiliar with ''Franchise/TheWorldOfDarkness'', [=SpeakerD=] (one of the lead writers) released a video essay on Alfabusa's channel serving as a short (relatively speaking) intro to [=WoD=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h1U-_JFAS8 here]]. It's not too lore intensive and can serve as a great way to get a good feel of the setting.

On Taking place in the latter half of 2006, the show follows Big-D, a wildly eccentric but seasoned monster hunter who leads a crusade against the vampire clans invading Norfolk, UK. Accompanying him is his own family, consisting of the exasperated, risk-taking Marckus and his fiancé, the studious and loyal Kitten, along with the practical but inflexible Door and his son, the perpetually terrified but promising young Boy. Also, the family has a horse named Horse, who is D's favorite son. When not fighting vampires or other hostile forces, everyone faces their unique challenges while maintaining this lifestyle, such as the interpersonal struggles between family members, the strained relationship between D's family and facilities dedicated to studying the supernatural, D forming unlikely alliances with some of the creatures he hunts, and many more dramatic and absurd twists and turns along the way.

* ForensicAccounting: Briefly brought up Big D and Kevin in the second audiolog, where Kevin mentions that running a vampire Clan by simply mind-controlling or blood-bonding its servants only go so far, because these servants still need to actually eat and thus to pay for food, and eventually "the taxmen runs the numbers and finds yours don't make sense". Big D agrees, calling taxmen "the unsung heroes of the Hunters".
