I firmly believe what ever you’re obsessed with at 11/12 years old becomes a core part of who you are, regardless if you lose interest in it or not. Maybe some of you were lucky and were obsessed with warrior cats or smth, and if you’re real unlucky it was probably twilight.

A quick peptalk/rant.

"We can't make our characters deeper and more serious in Witchlight" -Legends of Avantris cast Sorry, whose campaign is it? Whose characters? It's y'all's. If you want to play the characters with more depth and internal worlds, do it, fuck anyone who would have a problem with it. Y'all obviously had a blast playing Starlight and we all loved it.

IDK, I understand feeling obligated to do something because of fear of audience outcry, but there are deeper moments in Witchlight. Anyone who says the characters don't have depth wasn't paying attention to Kremy's fear of Garou, Frost's pining for companionship, or Gideon's anger about his slavery, or Gricko's woe about his mother, or Twig's complexity beneath the brownie silliness.

We won't even get into how complex and sad Torbek is under the "dumb, horny pervert" that much of the audience has flanderized him into or this would be an even longer essay post.

Anyone who says Witchlight characters don't have depth was apparently watching a different D&D podcast during episodes 41 and 46, or the end of 65, or, fuck, the end of episode 1 where the fairy dies, and they can argue with a wall so they'll have a debate opponent who can match their level of media literacy and intelligence.

I'm very tired of people who only watch the shorts expecting LoA to cater to what is funny and not what the story actually is - a solid blend of mostly humor but also depth, because Nikkie is an incredibly talented DM who can juggle both with ease.

I sometimes worry that even the LOA cast doesn’t realize how incredible their own characters are in Witchlight.

As much as I find the humor, jokes, and fey curse shenanigans in Witchlight to be entertaining, the serious side of the story is very dear to me. This is especially true in certain scenes where we get a glimpse into the characters' struggles, pain, guilt, and memories.

Kremy, who despite always putting up this front of a confident salesman who doesn't give a fuck about anything, is actually a man who loves his krew a whole bunch. He's tied down by so much guilt that he thinks he'd be better off dead. Then there's Gideon, who is so caring and loving toward Twigs, despite the strong and hot-headed man he appears to be, he still has a gentle soul deep down.

Gricko is extremely overprotective of Hootsie and his friends, willing to put himself in danger for them, and he gets so angry when Kremy comes up with an idea that might hurt Torbek. And Fucking Frost overall, honestly. He was thrown into some kind of cult at a young age and never got closure after losing his parents. He's scared that companionship will hurt him and that attachments are only holding him back, yet he craves those earthly attachments so badly. He loves his friends so much that he is terrified of losing them or having them leave him.

TORBEK. FUCK. A man who has been lonely and ridiculed his whole life for being "too gross" and off-putting, who finally gets accepted to hang with friends for once, only to learn that they betrayed him and sold him out. It led to him getting tortured for YEARS. Now, he is tied to another entity in his head that could hurt his friends and loved ones if he isn't careful. He just wants to be accepted, to be part of something, and to be loved. There is so much more to be said for him and yeah honestly, he deserves his own post.

There is still so much to unpack with the Witchlight krew. I hope the cast don't feel discouraged by trying to keep up with the "haha funny" jokes for the fans and actually start exploring their own characters more deeply in the lore.

YES all of this, the depth is already there, so I'm truly baffled by (mostly) Richie's insistence that "nooooo sorry guys, we can't." The depth is already there.

It's like they're in the 5ft section of a diving pool and refusing to swim over to the deep end where they would really rather be.

Im honestly kind of sad that crooked moon isnt as big and popular as neon odyssey. Folk horror has always been a favorite of mine, and once neon odyssey came out people either started acting like crooked moon didnt even exist or that it was "the shitty beta" to neon odyssey (according to some ttrpg reviewers on youtube and fans in the fandom). Which just makes my blood boil. Yeah, the crooked moon kickstarter was messy - but no one got scammed and it was their first ever kickstarter. clearly they've learned from their mistakes since then. Plus, the crooked moon material itself isnt messy or bad, its high quality and packed to the brim with amazing things (edge of midnight is a testament to that).

I guess maybe people are just bored of folk horror and want retro eldritch space horror now, but most people just move on far too fast and are so quick to shit on what came before for no good reason

I think it has something to do with the very real thought process behind Neon Odyssey? of a very positive, hopeful, nostalgic message? An that works! I guess its what people need as the world falls to ruin but it can sometimes feel a bit naive, If done wrong. I'm not saying Neon Odyssey is done wrong by any means but it also feels overwhelming in its scope of references and inspiration? kind like Ready Player One was? Like exhausting. But in my opinion that's space and all Syfy media in general. Crooked Moon on the literal other hand, is by all accounts a very depressing and pessimistic story. Its a full on doomed narrative from the beginning and even if the players manage to succeed, the question is; do they really? Its not really made for a hopeful outlook. Its artistic and beautiful in its messiness and dramatic gothic storyline. Do I have my issues with it? TOTALLY! But that's what's great about D&D I get to do what I want to the story. Neon Odyssey feels like a soulless cash grab because its playing on the same ideas that every story is now. Nostalgia. Its not, but it feels that way to an extent. That isn't to say that I wouldn't totally go for it and make a character to play with if someone ran it to for me but I wont be touching it.

it all comes down to people's personal interests. space fantasy nerds and horror fantasy nerds. What's important is that everyone is having fun.
