Pain doesn't make people. The pain is inconsequential. It's love that saves them.

my favorite dirt wizard

Started listening last month and I'm on episode 62 now don't say I have a problem I DON'T!

Caleb in particular has been all over the brain for no reason (awkward, dirty ginger wizard who loves libraries and plays with fire, I'm smashing the kinny button), but Jester is so sweet!!!! I was worried I might find her a bit much but she charmed the whole party + me.

Stars aligned and I rewatched Inside Job and felt the urge to draw wizards at the same time

Another thing they have to keep in animation is the disguises Caleb casts on everyone to go into the Beast City in Xhorhas. All of these disguises are particularly wonderful, we have a return of the twins and Taliesin going full Jim Henson, but specifically this:

Beau: Can you make me a dude tiefling? A red, shifty-looking tiefling? Red skin, deep eyes. 

Matt: There you go. You are a red tiefling. It's pretty accurate as you can envision, at least what you can see of yourself. You don't really have any reflective surface to check, but based on this, not bad. 

Beau/Marisha: I check my pants.

Matt: You're a dude tiefling. Since Caleb's really only seen one dude's tiefling before-- (laughter and applause). Long may he reign indeed.

Travis: Holy shit.

Laura: He's only seen one dude's tiefling. 

Beau: Why is just my dick purple? I don't understand. There's a gradient. 

Liam: It's just a sunny-side up egg.

Beau: My happy trail has an ombre. This is incredible! 

Matt: The benefits of the tiefling. 

Sam: Long and wide may he reign! 

Matt: Anyway.

The latest teaser confirmed it: the Mighty Nein animated series will draw on material that not only predates episode one of the campaign but at least two characters' respective session zeros. The synopsis for the show also highlights what is most likely the Beacon, suggesting it may get significant emphasis early on.

Because of all this, I think it's possible (even likely) that the first season will NOT end with the events of episode 26, which is where I and many other fans figured it would after the initial announcement.

Instead, as a few fans posited, we could see C2E12 and its consequences serving as the season one finale.

When I first saw posters bringing this idea up, I liked how it sounded. It would give the Mighty Nein much more room to breathe than Vox Machina. I didn't want to believe that could happen, though. I didn't want to get my hopes up.

Now, I am getting my hopes up. Just a little.

Because to get to the Iron Shepherds before the end of season one, the CRew has to hustle. They cannot afford to waste time on any extraneous content. Pre-episode-one material is most welcome but it is extraneous to the Mighty Nein's overall story. It is nothing we can't infer from context.

Incorporating this material implies that the pace will be, at the very least, somewhat slower than TLOVM's pacing has been.

Showing how everyone meets means they can dedicate the rest of the season to Trostenwald, the Gnoll Mine, (Shakäste!) various Zadash hijinks, and then the attack. If paced well, that’s enough for 12 episodes, even without moving some later events (Where The River Goes, Harvest Close, the tournament in Whispers of War, etc.) up in the order, which they could do.

But I could be jumping the gun. It could be the CRew makes the mistake of trying to squeeze pre-session-zero content into an otherwise faithful adaptation of a season that ends at C2E26. Or adding that material but slicing out tons of content from the stream to make that work. We don’t know yet. We can’t.

But, again, the allusion to the Beacon makes little sense unless we have some time to sit with it. Not if it’s in the middle of a season racing towards Glory Run. Travis has said here about TLOVM that they had a limited runway and wanted to be off to the races from the jump. But with the Nein, they want to play around more. We could take that in several different ways, but it sounds promising.

We might get a slower burn with TM9 than with VM. If the first season ends around Midnight Espionage, we might not even see Caleb’s or Molly’s backstories until season 2! And that’s exciting; new watchers will have time to get to know these characters, care about them, and mull over who they could be before the bombs drop. And that’ll be fun to watch.
