"You can Certainly Try..."

This is just where all of the TTRPG/ Actual Play stuff I like goes, I guess.

happy halloween to all the pivotal critical role moments that have happened while the cast is in the most ridiculous costumes imaginable for the scenario

currently holding alyxian “the paragon/apotheon” up to the paragon’s call + otohan + predathos and going hmm. neat

[sky-scribbles]

Bell's Hells made a pretty salient point about how Predathos has been imprisoned for thousands of years, and releasing an entity that's been trapped for so long, left to go slowly mad, might not be a good idea. And that got me thinking about Call of the Netherdeep again. (Spoilers for all of that adventure, especially the ending.)

That is exactly what can happen with Alyxian, the anatagonist/deutragonist of Call of the Netherdeep. He is a powerful Ruidusborn who ends up stranded in a pocket dimenion, the Netherdeep, because of a magical cataclysm that happened when his 'connection to Ruidus flared to life'.

The Netherdeep is very Ruidus-flavoured. It's a psychic mirror for Alyxian's trauma, giving it physical forms. It's full of psionic aberrations, like sharks that cause a 'psychic maelstrom' around them and fish swarms that stun people who get caught in their space. Alyxian's own demigod nature and deep trauma are obviously an influence, but there's something of Ruidus - something of Predathos - woven in with his nature, and with the Netherdeep.

You know what happens if you release Alyxian - who has spent a thousand years slowly becoming absorbed into the Netherdeep, and being tortured by its influence - without helping him heal from his pain? He turns into a storm of shadow that 'can reduce cities to rubble in a matter of days' and begins razing Exandria.

Just an observation.

I really love the thoughtful mechanization of character death here. Destroying a character sheet makes the ritual of it all feel tangible.

Imagine you're at a fan meet up for James Cameron and he's just signing shit as usual. Then one day some people from his submarine trip are like "Jimmy! Paula found Atlantis!" and he just up and runs out of the place like "Holy shit, Atlantis!" and minutes later you see him booking it away from the KGB in America for some reason in a sixty year old trailer.

That's Montgomery LaMontgommery.

No, no, not quite.

You’re a member of Congress and James Cameron is there advocating for the importance of preserving shipwrecks and not reclaiming them. He speaks so passionately that a key swing vote decides to resign from Congress altogether and go live in the water and dedicate their life to preserving coral reefs. Cameron has to remind them their safety is important and that they should at least live on a boat. They literally run away.

Then some people from his submarine show up with a nepo baby and a sovereign citizen, saying Paula found Atlantis but she’s in trouble, he runs out to also go find Atlantis to save Paula, and minutes later is driving down Capitol Hill, shooting at the KGB from a Ford Model T.

That’s Montgomery LaMontgommery.

I’ve seen a lot of people asking in the tag what Maxwell’s full class mechanics are, and they mentioned it in the AP for ep 2, but I haven’t seen anyone post it. It’s here:

The Pugilist Class - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

The Pugilist Class - With nothing but their wits, will, and fists, pugilists lay it all on the table every time they’re in for a scrap. No

Max specifically is using the “The Squared Circle” subclass, as well.

Shoutout to my Czechoslovak grandmother and Great-Aunt, specifically making sure that one of the of like the three Czech words that they taught me was “Kočka”, so that I could understand a joke in a show that I don’t think they would understand the concept of, 22 years later.
