I like to think lup is the reason for why the boys tend to gravitate to a strong female character who has their own experience in heroism

[@turtledude83]

Damn yeah that tracks. Especially Taako who lampshades it several times.

[@stephenholt6956]

Strong female characters are common across a lot of their work, but they all lost their mother quite young, so that may influence it

[@marsupialsofmars3886]

That's adorable

[@mothergoose9383]

I think they had/have strong female characters in their lives. As if I needed another reason to love these good, good boys.

[@Uncle-Jay]

@@mothergoose9383 I was completely flabbergasted to learn there were people who didn't like these guys.

[@chaoticfoolish]

maybe everyone else has already caught on but im halfway through the episode and i just realized the reason kravitz said The Boys have died so many times was because of them dying during this arc

Merle went from "Not my favorite, has some good moments and ground the boys" to "If anyone badmouths Merle Highchurch they get the GLOCK" for me

[@cartoonking1895]

He really comes into his own in this arc.

[@aethernaut1899]

I was thinking that before I saw your comment, yeah. I've always been a bit cool on Merle; unlike Taako, who was a bad person in a very consistent and logical way, Merle always seemed really contradictory; as Travis teased Clint once, "Merle is a very religious person when he wants something." But here, it's like the character really clicked. Having been spoiled on some aspects of the finale, I've been waiting a very long time to see this, and it's really great.

[@Abrax404]

"I dont want to burn a whole world", then the Gauntlet must've been quite the jab in the gut

[@computerface4095]

Thanks mate

[@maddyc2025]

I feel like in the context of everything taako does after the 100 year cycle makes a lot of sense. Because from what this episode has shown, Lup was basically Taako's person to morally ground him (stealing and looting is a different case, that stuff just seems like petty fun). So many decisions Taako has made up to this point in the podcast seems like something that would have changed if Lup was there too.

[@falsevacuum4667]

Yes I wholeheartedly agree.

[@mcbutteryqleplar5170]

That part with Merle's church really got me man...

[@gabwood1514]

Merle's take on faith is the best I've ever heard, and his speach really touched me. If I were to ever get behind a religious leader, he would be the one I would follow

[@fern5505]

Taako was so ready to murder people for their organs

[@Arrakiz666]

A reminder that Lucretia had to feed the _entire_ history of these robots, history that was painstakingly gathered by her and Merle _specifically_ to be preserved because that was the end for that civilization and NOBODY would know about them were it not for the two, to the Void Fish. Let that sink in.

[@GingerIntrovert]

Holy shit...

[@goten3268]

But remember, she was righting two acouts at the beginning so she only disposed of one.

[@Arrakiz666]

@@goten3268 That wouldn't work though, when the Voidfish is fed something, all information about it vanishes from reality, so even if she has a copy of their history, nobody would be able to read it.

[@goten3268]

@@Arrakiz666 Well if you are inoculated with that certain voidfish the information deleted with it probably would have been restored to its former place like it could possibly mean that the writing is unobservable like a Minecraft inchanting table text but if you are inoculated it becomes words.

[@Arrakiz666]

@@goten3268 I don't think that's how it works, I think the physical medium of the information, like the paper on which it was written, is destroyed in the process. If you read that information before and you get inoculated, you'll remember it, but the medium is still destroyed. So if she has a copy, after feeding the original to the Voidfish the text would become indistinguishable blur to anybody who reads it.

[@lukekearle6644]

Finally this far in after seeing shorts and fan animations about something called the "Adventure Zone" for years. God have I been hooked on this story which just started out as a couple of goofballs fighting gerblins. To one of the most gripping stories with loveable characters I've ever listened to. Why did it take me this long?!

I’m personally loving the format of Stolen Century?? It puts a lot more emphasis on the story than usual DnD games can and I dig it

[@sofialaya596]

yeah thats how pbta games usually work, many preffer it over more tactical games like dnd, maybe you can pick one you like and play it with someone

[@Vikashar]

I've been having a hard time making myself pay attention to this and the last episode. Narrative is good...but what I enjoy enjoy most is character to character rp, dialogue, emotions. The century eps are like history lessons sprinkled with some dialogue here and there. I understand this story necessitates that kind of story mechanism to get through the 100 years. I don't blame Griffin for my not enjoying it. But I don't enjoy it. I'm sticking with it because I am invested in the characters, all the same

Spoilers for this episode but the boys later say they re-recorded the scene with the RoboCrystal because they originally destroyed it. After recording all of them felt shitty and called again to redo it and change it and you can hear the cuts if you're listening for it.

[@Duck-mn8xp]

Vague spoilers for taz amnesty ep 28 “I wasn’t hard enough on you guys for mixed successes” Ned in ep 28: are you sure about that

[@Condescending_Absol]

MAKE SURE you guys listen to the "The The Adventure Zone Zone" that comes shortly after this episode. The entire Crystal part was actually done twice, and it's super heartfelt to hear what happened

[@Uncle-Jay]

Griffin's commentary during the break makes me believe he may have gotten complaints in the game change during this part of the story, which is a shame. I really very much enjoyed it. I think it really helped all of them really gel together writing the story, the change in game mechanics was also a fresh little change considering they had been playing standard D&D so long. I enjoyed it so much I am planning on stealing the idea later for my own players.
