Oh Captain, my Captain

can we STOP pretending facial hair is inherently masc and boobs are inherently femme? this is how the discourse SHOULD be:

beard = levels in wizardry

tits = levels in sorcery

This is why Gandalf has the big beard AND big naturals

Daeron is stalwart. Clever. As adept with his lute as he is with a sword. And a feature in the fancies of many a young lady, I'll wager. He's kind.

“Why did the bright queen believe essek so easily how did he get away with so much shit before he was caught?” Buddy you would not believe what you can get away with if you’re Quiet and Get Good Grades

So, the Tachonises are definitely creating some sort of purgatory-type army that is walking in between realms, and they are enslaving souls. And it seems like, maybe Cyd is a part of this and Occtis was going to be-- Okay, this is a lot! This is a lot, are you guys ready for this?

Campaign 4, Episode 26 - Council of Heroes

also can we talk about the game design of count the rice?? brilliant

the only challenges that require multiple people are at the beginning and end - at the beginning to allow the players to bounce around there for a bit before they realize they need to go down, and also at the end to ensure that a runaway player has to wait for another to catch up

count the rice itself, of course, can only be played with one player, so that players never actually have to count rice (if you had to wait for a second player at the end, then whoever got closest would win) (this is ofc not accounting for hannah pilkes)

the middle rooms are great too, because they are easy to intentionally fail, and hard to win. the spot the difference rooms are especially good, because you think you understand what it is (spot the difference between the two halves of the room), and this is seemingly confirmed when you successfully loose, but once you come back to try to win, you realize you did not actually fully understand the game. the placement of these is important, too - only players who were intentionally trying to lose got to those rooms. any higher in the sequence, and they might have had a player trying to win reach the rooms first, and then they'd realize the twist

and also the decision to split the rooms up? 2 and 3 in a separate space from 4-8, so players would assume there are only 3 until someone loses enough, subtly hiding the majority of the game from them

ugh just so many little details in the game design here are so perfect and well thought out, game changer is clearly such a labor of love

catherine is hopefully going to become the new demi (dropout’s up-and-coming superstar), which works because demi is on his way to becoming the new brennan (in everything yet still can’t win one damn time, sam has him on speed dial), and that also works because brennan is somewhere out there playing ten games of dungeons and dragons at once
