@TreeHairedGingerAle День назад

He really is a _brilliant_ roleplayer! Loved him in Pirates of Leviathan, where he plays a depressed rat barbarian. Oh, and that one-shot he played with Anjali, playing as a himbo warrior with a Latino accent... don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic the crew have been inviting more Latino folk to play, but it surprised me to hear him mimic one of our accents effectively, since it's not one featured here often

A tip for the people who miss the time stamps, Flando posts their timestamps on reddit because they are having trouble with RU-vid hiding their comments. What I’ve been doing while the problem is going on is just copying them from reddit and commenting myself since you can still see your own comments despite the timestamps not coming through to other people.

@EvilLobsterKing 11 дней назад

Official rules Warforged are humanoids to my knowledge. And the Hellls have a druid with fifth level spell slots. They have parts of FCG. Complications to this are many. Who knows if Aeormatons count as humanoids. Only Matt knows whether this spell could work. FCG may have a soul and be unwilling. Sending is back online but resurections, or in this case reincarnations may not be (outside of Ruidis). I have a feeling Sam won't go for this option, but what do I know. It jusf seems pretty on the table.

@Sp4rt4nSl4ya 11 дней назад

@EvilLobsterKing 11 дней назад

@@Sp4rt4nSl4yathat is a very good point. The spell Reincarnate does specify creating a body and then calling the soul to it. Which I would interpret as bringing back FCG into a meat body. But having watched several hundred hours of Matt DMing I can totally see him vetoing this for a number of reasons. I am very much just looking at this from a rules perspective. It would be very weird narratively if they relatovely easily (getting the materials from any number of the high level characters, including druids, at the encampment) brought their friend back right after such a sacrifice.

Godddddd I love the confrontation with Liliana. It's *chilling*. Her mind's even more affected than Predathos than I realised. But she represents the indoctrination and sunk fallacy that gets people into the Ruby Vanguard. She's a dark mirror to the Bell's Hells, each with their own draw towards an unhealthy power to escape their shitty situations. Everyone had banger lines against her. Fantastic character. Fantastic antagonist. Love how the Bell's Hells at this point can't trust her but know how good it would be if they could use her.

@pippastrelle 12 дней назад

@@Marpaws That absolutely reads as sunk cost fallacy/self-denial to me. Can you imagine how desperate Liliana would be to justify her 2 decades in the Ruby Vanguard at this point, especially to her daughter? How the bar for "horrible things" would have risen and risen and risen for her? Maybe she did try to mitigate or keep out of things. Maybe she had to start turning some blind eyes to justify to herself the necessity of her being there. It's an excellent reflection of the kind of circular thinking and adjustment of boundaries cults instil in their victims.

@sodasaintcommentaries4054 12 дней назад

I will say that Liliana might not be hopeless... not yet. She DID come to save her daughter. But it felt good to see her finally be forced to reckon with the price of her choices. Let's hope she doesn't betray the Exandrian side and Imogen isn't forced into a horrible position.

One thing I don't get is why they didn't point out to Liliana that things like charm person exist. In the world of D&D, feeling in your soul that something is right doesn't mean that it is. That's one way to really shake her confidence, make her actually analyze the risks from an outside perspective. "What if you are charmed? What if that feeling of comfort and rightness is an illusion? Does the other evidence match? What if Predathos is magically lying to you?"

Reasoning someone out of a magical charm is probably a lot harder than you're imagining. Just think about how hard it is to convince someone that they are in fact in a cult.

Now imagine in addition to their own mind manipulating them, there's a layer of magic as well. Good luck with that ^^'

It wasn't until now that I realized the common thread to most of the team. Something they can all relate to. Laudna was reanimated to be used as a vessel for Delilah's return. Ashton was imbued with the shard of a Titan to be used as a vessel for the resurgence of Titan power We learned today that Ruidusborn like Imogen are vessels for Predathos to be used for his awakening. Fearne was born under the red moon because her father wanted her to be a vessel in this way. Even Orym, who uses himself as a vessel of grief, following the path he believes his father and husband would have wanted him to go. FCG, the most obvious example as something created for the use of others, found a deeper meaning to his life. His friends. And chose his own path. Though Chetney is the weakest example of this in my mind, he also finds himself to be a vessel of this werewolf curse he has. Something he didn't willingly ask for, but something he embraced. Which is why I feel he's the most adjusted of them all. Something was done to each of them in order to become poker chips in a game others were playing. They were all made to be vessels, used to serve something 'higher.'

That's the gamble with things like this, that the viewers are aware of what happened in the side campaigns.

During a conflict Opal put the crown on to save the others. After which they split up, just before campaign 3 started, and then they had another adventure after Dorian re-joined them, a heist, which leads into this.

Not to bash on anyone, but the thing I have an issue with, is that this episode wasn’t advertised as Exandria Unlimited, it was presented as the main CR. And I can’t help but feel a bit upset. Just wanted to know if anybody feels the same. Have a great day everyone and don’t forget to love each other. ❤

Who is saying they wont grieve in the future? They are still in the middle of a world ending conflict; taking in all of their Focus.

Apparently Matt needed a break. Which he definitely deserves. But I feel like this is bad fanservice. And no, I don't exactly appreciate this change of DM seats either. It will be recaps for me until we return to the main cast and Matt as DM. You are not alone.

I don’t think I’d want to make my players RP more than 90 minutes of fresh grief, and I was glad CR didn’t either? I’ve honestly never been happier to see Aabria, but I can see why the handbrake turn was a real ‘love it or hate it’ moment?

@LizNix01 10 дней назад

I think our main cast needs a break, honestly. I'm glad to see what's happening with Darriax and Dorian, personally. Dorian and Orym are reunited soon.

Wouldn't it be funny for FCG to sacrifice themself for the Bells Hell from Otohan only for them to get TPK at the key on the Exandrian side?

I'm so lost. I don't know these characters at all

@thejinxedplatypus 11 дней назад

It's the Exandria Unlimited playlist. Ferne and Orym were originally part of this group with Dorian. They're why Dorian was with Bell's Hell's in the beginning. Getting caught up shouldn't be too difficult as they only had a mini campaign and not a full fledged 90+ episode arc to get through.

@renoslash1890 11 дней назад

Since these characters have nothing to do with the story at all, I wouldn't worry about it. Its likely because of scheduling behind the scenes that this decision was made.

@masonbartley536 11 дней назад

The Opal vs. Laudna fight is going to be insane. It's either going to happen in the campaign or in an arena match. Either way it is going to happen and I know it. I just hope it gets animated.

Man just when Bells Hells got off the moon and lose a member we cut to this. Im not a fan of this pacing and it hurts to say as a fan from C1

@melcosta5494 8 дней назад

These characters in the second act have a backstory that’s shown in Exandria EXU with the same dm. That’ll give you a lot of context as to why Opal is seemingly immediately a threat to the entire group.

I honestly have no idea what was happening during the second half of the episode. It's a bit odd to be thrown into a different campaign with characters you know nothing about (save Dorian) and have no connection to whatsoever. That in and of itself wouldn't have been an issue per se, but the content of the episode definitely made it all the more confusing. Had it been a more down to earth episode, perhaps as a reaction to Orym's message, it would've been fine and would've felt more as an interwoven story between the two campaigns. The choice to go for a seemingly pivotal moment in the ExU campaign with party infighting absolutely missed its mark for me. It became unwatchable from a "I don't know what this is all about" perspective.

LOL again 3:09:12 No darkvision and thoroughly enjoying that fact. hehehehehe and again you can see how disappointed that the d4 from bless causes him to pass 3:17:14. Just before look at his reaction when rolling the d20 and then after the d4. That is SSSOOO Funny!

@joewoodland8635 11 дней назад

Unironically, hasting opal would have potentially been a really smart move, hit her with the ol' haste and drop. Buy yourself a full free turn. It's a gimmick, cheesy and funny, and it would have worked.
