About Beyond The Campfire: A Dead by Daylight Podcast
Welcome to Beyond The Campfire, a weekly Dead by Daylight podcast stepping away from the generators and into the lore. Each episode focuses on one character, unpacking their story, perks, strengths, and place in the game - with discussion, debate, and the occasional scream from the fog.
This episode explores Yui Kimura, the Japanese street racer who spent her entire life refusing to let anyone else decide her path - and ended up in the fog mid-race.
Lemon tells Yui's story in full, from a traditional family she walked away from to build her own, through illegal street racing circuits, a terrifying encounter with a stalker, and the Sakura Seven - the group of women she helped turn into something far bigger than a racing gang.
Dogbomb then covers her perks - Any Means Necessary, Breakout, and Lucky Break - a kit built around speed, disruption, and making life very difficult for any killer trying to carry a survivor to a hook.
The episode also covers the end of 2v8, the Halloween event starting 13th October, the Academia Rift, the NieR: Automata cosmetics, and the Terrifier PTB landing on 27th October.

Episode 36: The Oni
This episode explores Kazan Yamaoka - the Oni - one of Dead by Daylight's most lore-rich killers and the fearsome ancestor whose legacy echoes all the way through to the Spirit.
Lemon digs deep into Kazan's story, from a proud samurai lineage he was desperate to protect, to the brutal crusade against false samurai that slowly transformed him into the very monster people named him. The episode also traces the remarkable connection between the Oni and the Spirit, with the two Yamaoka killers sharing a bloodline, a realm, and even the same blade.
Dogbomb then breaks down the Oni's power, Yamaoka's Wrath - the blood orb system, Blood Fury, Demon Dash and Demon Strike - and why he rewards aggressive, committed play above almost anything else. He also covers the Oni's perks - Blood Echo, Nemesis, and Zanshin Tactics - and a handful of builds for different playstyles.
The episode also touches on tomes closing in January, the DBD forum shutting down at the end of October, and the ongoing community cosmetic contest and the AI controversy surrounding it.

Episode 35: Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington
This episode wraps up the Stranger Things chapter with Beyond The Campfire's first ever double episode, covering Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington - the two survivors who entered the fog together, which was itself a first in Dead by Daylight history.
Lemon tells the story of how two Hawkins heroes ended up in the entity's realm, lured separately to the same location with no idea the other was looking for them. Dogbomb then breaks down all six of their perks - Nancy's Better Together, Fixated, and Inner Strength, and Steve's Babysitter, Camaraderie, and Second Wind - a set that skews heavily towards altruism, awareness, and keeping the team alive when things go sideways.
The episode also covers the ongoing community cosmetic vote, the 2v8 mode still running with the Xenomorph, and the new chat wheel added in the latest PTB.
