[@SkepticalCaveman]

I think these characters are perfect for live shows. They are not as serious of a group and the cast can relax and play up the comedy more for the audience, than they can with their main characters since much more is at stake in the real campaign.

[@7on]

Live shows should only be one-shots (IMO).

[@SkepticalCaveman]

@@7on I think its absolutely fine if they reuse these characters since they don't have an important story arc to solve. They are comic relief characters perfect for a live audience. Although I would love to see an one shot with the cast playing completely randomized characters (including stats) and be forced to improvise on the spot. That would be very fun. Also only randomized NPC's for Matt too. DND Beyond has a built in randomized so they can just roll a random character live right in front of the audience.

[@PlantOutofPot]

it's also why the vox machina one shots were so great. It was still more serious than this one, but they were making more jokes than in the main show. Partially because they had a live crowd to please, but also because the main story was over and the World-level threats were dealt with.

[@Answerisequal42]

I would still watch the shit out of this if they would continue this tbh. They could even make a campaign on all live sessions with those crackheads. It's really entertaining^^

[@QuestionQuestionMark]

Skeptical Caveman that doesn’t sound too too fun to be honest. Because then you get a bunch of random characters that don’t have their shit together it’s boring as fuck to watch there is nothing interesting about that, it’s be more acting’s than D&D at that point. With no substance, the thing that makes these fun for me at least is seeing the characters the players made. A completely randomized game would just make it a party show. This is a D&D show, in my mind at least. The thing that makes the show so good ARE the characters. Take that away and it’s just a one shot, the appeal is in what makes these particular people interesting.

The vox masheena and keeleeth aren't her accent, they're because Hazel has only read those names in a book, not heard them pronounced. At least that was my understanding. Like Matt in real life with the word "sigil", it's something that happens when people learned words through books and didn't check a pronunciation guide. So it's a subtle bit of character backstory building. The rest are presumably what an old-timye Wildye-mount accent sounds like in-world. :P Or at this point, the *start* of that accent among reporters and so on. So not old-timey for them, this is accent trend is starting now, and she's starting it.

But Exandria doesn't have voice-based media at all, other than town criers and in-person oral storytellers. In-universe, I don't think *Hazel* is doing an impression of a voice she's heard a group of people use; she's a pioneer.

who is gale?

[@faceyfacefaceface]

@@hand.2 The star of two of Sam's greatest intro sketches.
