DarklyDreaming posted:Because earlier in the episode he was reminded of the last time he lost people he cared about and now familiar worries are bubbling up to the surface As the game progresses it feels to me like Liam did a patch job on Yeza from C2. Loving halfling loses spouse, struggles with trauma while trying to protect the others he cares about. Orym’s NG attitude feels a lot like if Yeza had been an adventurer, with no son to take care of. Plus he’s trolling Sam by using every halfling reroll as noisily as he can. My only complaint at this point is that the party is full of “face” characters who are allowing the local earth genasi to do a lot of the talking. Over half the group is high CHA! C1 was extremely traditional. C2 was built with most of the adventure arc emerging from PC backstories, leading to a fairly internal/self-referential campaign where PC history and inner drama drove most of the action. So far, C3 seems to be much more connected to C1, focused less on exploring and developing a new part of the world and a lot more on continuing storylines that just happen to involve this part of the world. Instead of PC pasts shaping the campaign, it feels like there’s more of a conversation going on, with PC pasts shaped as much by the setting as they shape what’s happening now.

I think theres gonna be a lot of backstory stuff this season as well - sure launda and oryms look like they're gonna tie to C1 somewhat, but fcg has his amnesia/cant talk about stuff going on, fearne had little hints that her grandmothet isnt exactly the friendliest & why she left the faewild. Theres gonna be a fair amount of the internal stuff eventually. We're still super early in the campaign atm

Mage_Boy posted:Fearne is the proof that Ashley is actually really good at making and playing a character when she doesn't have to worry about being gone for large chunks of time and then remembering how her character works and acts all over again. Although she seems to have forgotten entirely that she is a Wildfire druid with a pet monkey/fire elemental.

imo aabria just had fun playing mister and matt is less of the type to proactively do stuff like that unless the player initiates it

Speaking of Aabria I would freaking love it if they pump-faked Travis's return and had her guest for an episode before the year is out: "....why don't you join us at the table and describe what your character looks like ............Aabria"

That would be cool and all but I really want Travis back because his energy at the table is so great. I was just watching a vid of Fjord getting attacked by all the different polymorphed creatures in C2 and his "panic yelping" as a giant turtle snaps at him has me dying.

They should do like 3 fakeouts before Travis comes back. First Aabria, then Aimee Carerra, then like Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Unfortunately, Travis saw the set in nighttime mode, and has been scared away by its spooky ambiance.

Acting or not, his reaction to Laura trying to get Matt to describe the ring girl kills me every time:

He's obviously playing it up a little for the cameras, but it is really amusing how Laura turns into a teenage girl trying to spook her boyfriend in those moments.

Why is he even ON twitter. It's for white power racist chudmonsters flinging poo poo and being trolled the gently caress out by everyone else. No one really used it for honest communication since 2016.

That's sad to see. I wonder what the latest drama is that prompted this. I think this is the most direct admission we've seen from him that there is a real toxicity issue in the community. Its got to be so disheartening constantly dealing with bullshit dramas on a near weekly basis

My twitter isn't like that at all, it's entirely your own fault if that's your twitter experience. Stop following people who make you angry. (Note, Matt follows 1900 accounts, that's why twitter pisses him off!)

No idea what's going on, but I would bet a billion dollars of monopoly money that it has to do with either Travis or Brian.

Speaking of Robbie being funny, Dorian laying his head on Laudna's shoulder and saying "you're like the cool side of the pillow" didn't deserve to go as unnoticed as it did.

I'm starting to wonder if Travis' absence and Robbie's inclusion over many episodes is in part designed to get us used to the idea of even the main show being a rotating affair with different mixes of players coming and going over the length of a season?

I strongly suspect this is the case. CR has to evolve, and this seems like a good way to try out some different configurations and change the way things are done without causing horrible shock to their audience.

It makes sense he didn't feel stage fright this time. The competition was private and the only audience was a group of friends.
