"start lower, I beg of you" has to be one of the most menacing things Sam said on this show.

It started off a little grating, but dammit if I couldn't help but laugh a bunch at some of the pulls they made in later categories. Impressive as hell, and they double down on Count Chocolata being a character.

Neverafter is great so far, but I'm having a hell of a time understanding the plot.

They're all story characters, there's an evil godmother eating stories or controlling them, or making the stories darker, but there's also a book that eats characters and sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad... Maybe a rewatch it's easier to follow, but the lack of an understanding of the 'reality' of the game is making it feel like grasping for straws trying to follow what's going on. Starstruck and Tinyheist were wild universes, but they had enough of a tether in reality that it wasn't hard to follow. This one... not so much.

From the Numbers Beyond site. Better subscribe to their patron cause it sounds like they're going to give away hundreds of dollars. Has to be what that redacted bit is. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

I think/hope that we're on the cusp on learning a few more rules/movers of the universe, I certainly hope so. The mystery is a little too unknowable to get invested in the stakes atm.

Now I kind of want Sam to be a guest on the next season of Dimension 20 and for Brennan to play Evil Sam or Sam's ancestor Samuel Dalton; including pulling out the top hat and monocle any time he's in character.

I'm dying for another season of mice and murder

Amy is the quality label for a breaking news episode and she should never change a thing

double nine

imo this season has had about ~8 solid-to-great episodes, and a bunch of mediocre / boring ones.
especially a horror themed show - you just can't keep that atmosphere going for ~25 hours.

As an experiment, it failed: they should have gone for either horror-comedy or shortened it to a much smaller season imo.


e: tbh I do wonder what calculations go into the season length, given that it's a paywalled streaming service

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever been bored out of my mind with an intrepid heroes season but by golly, Neverafter did it. Even Unsleeping City I just fell off for unrelated reasons, but there are numerous times I would forget what was going on as I was listening to the episode. It also really doesn’t help that NADDPOD is in a place right now that’s super exciting and interesting so it makes every episode of Neverafter feel so bloated and flaccid by comparison.

speaking of naddpod, is that the type of podcast one should start at the beginning at, or should you just pick up the latest episode and work your way backwards?

I don't know these people are actors and writers. If brennan had given them such a choice somewhere in the middle of a season, I can see them taking the drama bait for a bit. Not in literally the final episode though, lmao.

basically: pacing issues, again

I love how we're at the final episode and we still don't know the agenda of the main villain (?)

that's good writing there.

it's been a while since I listened to it but I think Coffin Run is more character moments than big d&d battles

is Starstruck the season where Brennan uses the word 'youths' but pronounces it like he's in a scene from my cousin Vinny?
Because I can never tell if it's a deliberate affectation or not

yeah Ally showed a mean side of themselves that's hard to shake

of course it was literally the rules grant & themselves set up so it's not like they were cheating or anything, but there's still a less viscous vibe from grant's challenges than ally's.




that said some things were clearly "just" because they didn't think of the consequences (flea market comes to mind), less about planned meanness and more just being shortsighted.

I hope they build more seasons without the dnd ruleset, it really seems to drag down the drama
otoh presumably there is a large part of the audience that's married to dnd as a pillar so a full break will be impossible
