Using a the name of a dead god as a ritual component in a spell that makes bringing back a dead person impossible is GENIUS LEVEL SHIT

Brennan WTF man! That’s solves so many problems in dnd mythology. Why look into dead gods at all? How do you keep high level characters afraid of dying in game? How do you stop high level characters from just raising dead people to solve mysteries?

“Oisin was just manipulating Adaine!” “No Oisin’s not actually evil!”

Idk I think it’s funnier if he is evil and just also has a crush on her. Like yeah we’re trying to kill you but if you don’t die do you maybe wanna go out to dinner sometime

Over the course of the game, roll a d20 every so often.

This measures the progress of a different, unmentioned party of adventurers who are on their own quest to stop an unrelated threat to the entire mortal world.

If you get a one they fuck up and die so the world abruptly ends with no warning.

honestly inspiring level of chaotic and psychic connection to ur player’s bullshit as a dm

I think Brennan did something interesting with the Porter and Gorgug scene in the last episode. Porter is by all appearances a competent Barbarian teacher. He understands the role of Rage and its mechanical combat benefits, and he even recognizes how Gorgug uses Rage to protect those he cares about. But he doesn't understand how multiclassing into a caster fits into that framework.

And it's true! In 5e you can't cast or concentrate on spells in a Rage. But-- Artificers work a little different than other casters! Alchemist Elixirs and Arcane Cannons aren't technically spells. Arcane Armor just works. And so does the Steel Defender.

Of any caster I think the Artificer is probably the best-suited to multiclass Barbarian because their key subclass features are largely not spells. But it also runs into the problem of requiring multiple high stats. Barbarians already want high STR and CON, and Artificers need INT for their spells and spell saves.

And so there's this narrative tension here. Brennan the DM obviously wants to let his player have fun with the character build-- embracing the creative artificer side of himself is a great character moment for Gorgug, bearer of the tin flower. Someone who has always channeled Rage to protect those he cares about but who has also been called to create and preserve beauty.

And yet mechanically, it's a difficult build. We didn't see Gorgug cast anything in the Night Yorb battle, as far as I recall? And in-universe, classes are a formally recognized thing that require approval. But Gorgug can't be the kind of Barbarian that Porter wants him to be. So he has to show that he can be a different kind of Barbarian-- one whose magic integrates and synergizes with his Rage rather than opposing it.

We see Gorgug still insecure about his homunculus and about the solar lasso, even though these are objectively impressive feats. So it's not a skill issue but an internal conflict-- it's only once Gorgug reconciles and synthesizes his magic with his Barbarian side that the in-world powers that be will recognize him for all of who he is.

The posts ive seen about "I really hope the bad kids dont hurt the rat grinders :(" is giving the same energy as the hangman to fabian going "we should be nice to her cause if we just keep being nice to her then she'll stop being so mean!!"

[omamorens]

i feel so crazy about them i need them to fight it out

[feelingtheaster99]

Honestly Riz/Murph having such an INCREDIBLE turn using knowledge of game mechanics against Kipperlilly who CHEATED the system to get gains is fucking ICONIC

Now that we know Lucy Frostblade’s fate, I am haunted by the moment Fig had with Ivy at the Shrimp Party.

The nonchalantness of Ivy’s reaction. The way her eyebrow raised a quizzical but bemused manner. Maybe she could see through Fig’s disguise but even so… NO surprise? NO double take? Just a cold, calculated “we doing this?” Like what the hell is going on?!

[okthatsgreat]

i’m really glad to see all of the bad kids going through different phases like is that not what high school is about. finding yourself through different phases. i hope they get even more cringe. adaine SHOULD get to dye the tips of her hair with koolaid. fig SHOULD get to throw a bunch of labels and genders at the wall to see what sticks. and riz SHOULD go through a naruto phase

[marshmallsy]

aren't you tired of being nice? don't you wanna go apeshit?
