Here is what Griffin said:quote:
In the last TTAZZ they talked about wrapping up this season and coming back to the setting in the future so it's not really a surprise. They also said it was not building to any kind of "Save the world" finale. Maybe just the timing being now but keep in mind that they'll be at 45 episodes at the end of this season. Amnesty was 36 and Graduation was 38.

Ethersea is good and I'm glad they'll come back one day. I have like three episodes to listen to! My personal favorite was Amnesty but I live in WV and love the Monongahela national forest so I have some bias there.

From the new ad break: quote:We are nearing the end of what we’re considering season 1 of Ethersea. This may come as something of a surprise to you, we usually give a little more lead time before we announce something like that, but we’re getting kind of close to a logical wrap up point for the story and characters that we’re telling. We really like the whole sort of world and vibe of Ethersea, so it’s something we’re planning to return to at some point. We’re not 100% sure what we’re going to be doing next, although we have a little bit of time to put that plan together. There’s probably three to four more episodes of Ethersea left in this season, and then we’re going to move on to something else and probably return to Ethersea at some point in the near future. With that in mind we’re going to be biweekly again for these last few episodes, partially because we have a ton of stuff going on in our personal lives right now, and also because we want to have little more time for them to have the kind of polish we want them to have. Edit: drat, too slow.

i don't really care about them going bi-weekly. i just don't think that the campaign, as they've built it, is at a natural end point. devo, in particular, seems to have regressed over the last few weeks e: i guess they could all die in four episodes which would be p lol

Kind of a bummer but not a huge deal. I appreciate what they’re going for with Devo’s character but the execution seems to have fallen short. If it was a longer arc I could see it working alongside other character growth over time, but that’s a long time for a character to be a dingus. I’d prefer that they keep things weekly

in that last TTAZZ Griffin also said pretty emphatically that he wasn't allowing any more character background that didn't arise naturally from play at the table. (I'm not accusing anyone of tanking this campaign... I just think that's a really good idea in general for the way they play and even more generally for generating comedy.)

Devo is a turd sometimes and clashes with Amber. I dunno I thought today's episode dealt with that in a pretty satisfactory manner.

Ah, it's a shame they're moving on from Ethersea for a bit but I've absolutely got in a creative rut with a campaign before and needed a break so I get it. I think I'd like to see Clint DM something though.

if you want to project your weird baggage onto my post, go ahead. i was literally just listening to the first half during lunch and tired on Devo and Amber sniping at each other. it’s not fun to listen to.

normally people are talking about like, irl stuff with actual negative consequences when they call stuff "toxic"

I think by assuming the poster could only have meant the most online meaning of toxic, you have inadvertently shown that you are, in fact, too online

I really really really really really want someone to just shove Devo in a locker and steal his lunch money or something. Devo deserves, nay needs to be mercilessly bullied.

Absolutely hilarious to me that Griffin attempted to set up an opposing choice between helping the bleached Brinar open the passage to the next world and helping the Blink Sharks prevent that as if any one of these people would even consider helping the blink sharks, were there even any left Though I'm not even fully sure they were aware there was a Mass Effect Choice.

Obviously we don't know how this arc is going to wrap up, but ending a live play story not because the world has been saved but because the main characters got sick of each other would be really really funny and I hope that's where this is all headed.

There could be more, there could be Unforeseen Consequences later on.

It's been fun to see Griffin punishing, albeit gently, that kind of stuff this time around. It'd be hilarious if the 'season' ended with something terrible happening to all of them as a result.

I think there's a ton of media (Bioware RPGs spring immediately to mind, as did the half arsed end of Falcon and Winter Soldier) where "oh, we'll handwave a solution that somehow makes everyone happy without digging too deeply into how this doesn't somehow piss off anyone else" is how stuff ends. It's surprisingly pervasive.

I'm listening to last week's MBMBaM, and that WikiHow Furby article is loving wild, but it makes me wonder: The McElroys HAVE to be aware of the Oddbody Furby community by now, right?

Had a hearty laugh during this week's MBMBAM when Justin talked about the casino member who got a free ticket to their latest Boston(?) show, went to it, hated it, but bought a poster anyway.

Bought a poster specifically because she thought Travis looked cool
