Any highlights from the LARP? I was one of the many bards that ended up gathered by Hadrian's Hall Saturday night - had no idea you were running it!!

Since you asked:

Friday: Tending bar till 3am, apparently I’ve still “got it”.

Saturday: Went monstering and ended up being made leader of the elite units, destroyed my voice then my body. Came back to discover I had accidentally become the hot bar of Empire. Turned down purchase offers, met imperial taster, hosted an orchestra (sort of), got pressganged into blind knife fighting and a tug of war (winning both and showing off outrageously) also a light amount of running through the woods murdering people.

Sunday: Awake bright eyed and bushy tailed. Go to battle, get traumatic wound meaning I can’t run, lose the same leg 6 times, get cut off, haemorrhage 36 hit points (for reference base players have 2 TOTAL) then die. There was nothing left for a funeral.

Need to work on a new, less vanilla character now people know me but I can confirm a relative will inherit Hadrian’s Hall and it will stay in business.

TLDR: My first character finally got everything he wanted then immediately got turned into hamburger meat. He burned like a comet then fucked off just as fast.

Is there even a slight chance of Outliers season 3? Or anything new from Cry Havoc?? I adore historical fiction and podcasts and these two were the absolute perfect combination, I truly wish they could be more popular..

So likelihood of Outliers Season 3 is essentially zero.
That show was commissioned and paid for by Historic Royal Palaces (the people who look after the Tower of London etc.) and although it was a smashing success by their required metrics I believe everyone who worked on the project at their end has moved on to other jobs by now. Since HRP holds the rights that means we can’t touch it and I doubt anyone at their end even remembers it exists now!

Cry Havoc doesn’t have much chance for a sequel either.
I personally fought disproportionately long and hard as Executive Producer to get that project to exist and I am incredibly proud of the finished project and everyone’s work on it. It’s arguably the technically “best” thing we have made. That said, something on that scale carries a massive opportunity cost i.e. making that precludes us making anything else and we have other stories to tell. I don’t feel bad about it though as the story ends really nicely as is.
