Alex really said: In my first season of Dimension 20, I played the tiniest little boy who was the physical embodiment of a man’s conscience. What would be a good character to choose for my second season? Ah yes. An absolute unit of a mob boss. The logical next step.

I fucking love the dynamics between the ‘people’ and the ‘avatars’ in NSBU.

G13 is using Usha, because he’s a hacker and a manipulator, and she’s exactly the kind of person who can be easily scammed. Haunting. Spine-chilling. Cool as fuck, truly unbelievable storytelling, and it’s developed so organically!

On the other hand, Vic is mentoring Wendell in a way, and we got to see them really sync up this episode, working together to advance the narrative and protect their people. Wendell totally gets the kind of person that Vic is, and I think that helps him take Vic’s advice as the more experienced person- but also know that he’s not always going to be right.

Paula and Jack are sort of… misaligned. She keeps trying to find guidance from him, but they’re almost too similar? Jack so far that we’ve seen is very hands-off, and doesn’t seem all that worried about Paula- or his own family. Whereas Paula of course cares deeply about Jack’s family already, because she’s much more involved and familial minded than what we’ve seen of Jack.

Liv and Kingskin are, I think, the most compatible duo. Liv has settled nicely into her role in some ways, the control and power it grants her suits her well, and it feels like Kingskin likes her because of that? But at the same time her compassion for others is making such a notable difference in the way that she’s able to interact with people in Kingskin’s circles that it feels like he could learn as much from her as she’s learning from him. They feel like the most balanced pair, with the most mutual respect.

Dang doesn’t match Stocks’ vibe at all. He’s trying to do the cool action movie things, he’s playing into the role really well at times- but who Dang is, really, doesn’t sync up. His morals and priorities are very different from Stocks’- for good and bad alike. There’s very little connection between the two, it feels like- to me it reads as Dang just trying to fill the shoes of this Bond-like character, more than anything. Sometimes he’s really able to pull it off, and sometimes it just… doesn’t work. Stocks isn’t helping him. He’s on his own- which it seems is perhaps a norm for Dang.

Then of course, Russell. Russell and Jennifer are not a team at all- what Russell is learning from this experience, he’s learning from simply being Jennifer, not from communicating with her. He’s a man who we know is used to being attractive, used to being complimented and unused to being told off for the way that he behaves. I love the way that Ally’s taken his character as Jennifer- because he isn’t Jennifer. He’s Russell. He doesn’t want to wear a skin-tight bodysuit, he wants to get a baggy shirt to hide this form that he’s not used to, and work with the new skills that he has.

Idk I just think it’s super super cool that all of the players are working within the mechanic so differently, and I think every single manifestation of this dynamic makes so much sense for the characters that it’s just astounding. This last episode was such a good show of these dynamics and the impact they actually have on the plot.

I love conrad with all my heart. Every day he puts a sticky note on a speakeasy that says “please reconsider” and he knows how to drive.

Never Stop Blowing Up is my favorite d20 series ever, nothing could ever top the pure delirium I felt watching Episode Four

[kittyoverlord]

Something about Liv Skyler's character is resonating with me. I can't quite put my finger on it....

[shieldinthestone]

Let them be father and son Brennan

Piled up on the floors, covered in dust and cobwebs, lie the memories Elias Hodge has done his very best to forget. Over the years, they've been gathered from gutters and trash cans, lovingly straightened out and cleaned, to be quietly stowed away in a small cramped corner of the Red Light District.

Because Elias can ignore them all he wants, but the Conscience never forgets.

liv skyler i love you so much

[thefoxfelldownthestairs]

Why are conrad's stats so built to be a getaway driver, why does this child have hot shot driver. I am concerned.

[middle-of-town]

[deanmarywinchester]
