Crown of Candy Favorite Moments

[@robinmansions2884]

"Now a Count *can* coup!" 1.5 seconds of foreshadowing, new record

[@evanc.1591]

Yup, that's definitely the "chronomancy" of this season.

[@archiloque]

Folks, if you can afford it, treat yourself to the full, unspoiled experience -and a Dropout subscription, even for a single month. It's a treasure trove of incredible content. A Crown of Candy alone is more than worth it. If money is tight, you can split the bill among friends, this lovely company actually ENCOURAGES password sharing. And then, after 30+ unspoiled, tense, exhilarating hours of some of the best storytelling you'll have ever witnessed, you'll come back to this video and reminisce with the rest of us, wishing you could forget all about Candia and watch this god-tier show for the first time all over again.

Calroy wanted a puppet, if you notice, Cal does a lot of things, and is one of Amethars greatest “advisors” when he’s actually including the king, then he can kill amethar in an “accident” then he can say the heirs are illegitimate or say there unfit to rule. Then he kills them so he has no enemies. Boom king of Candia, and yes, I’m a GM

This series made me genuinely weep a few times. How brennan lee mulligan managed to make game of thrones out of food people (but less incesty lmao) is just fantastic

[@HS-iw1ed]

Calorum was probably one of my favourite homebrew settings to watch. The cast have talked about how nerve-racking it was to play in such a high stakes, high mortality rate game, but this wacky world made of food people politics and bizarre low-magic mythology is actually one of the most exciting and engaging things to watch. I was obsessed with the idea of this food-people world for too many weeks after the finale of this game, and cannot wait to revisit it in the Ravening War game run by Matt Mercer

[@dwell7315]

To be fair, they could very likely be planning on continuing, but from both observation and what they've said, this season was so incredibly taxing emotionally and mentally, it would probably be a while. Even in combat, I think either Ally or Siobhan mentioned that every battle took way longer than the episode length because combat decisions were so hard this season. Everyone had to make the best possible play, in every single situation, just to survive. Compared to normal D&D that's got to be super difficult.

11:33 -- man, up to a certain point I really feel for Plumbeline; out of all the antagonists, she does have a *super* legitimate grievance. The Concord's only been around for twenty years, so unless she's literally Jet and Ruby's age her father *already had* a living heir at the time he signed on for an agreement that made him emperor at the cost of locking his children out of the line of succession. Regardless of how you feel about hereditary primogeniture, I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect her to be cool with that, especially after her father nominated one of his -- with love -- aging himbo war buddies instead. It's not really a good system. (It's not even stupider than some of the wildly impractical succession schemes actual real life humans have come up with, but it's not good.)

"Where is your bulb now?" At this moment, Brennan realized why Zac's typecast was himbos. Because when he plays an smart character, he just runs circles around Brennan, and thus, Lapin had to die, because he was proving too powerful.

[@dwell7315]

I honestly think that Lapan pulling his church status to arrest Alfredi (with an assist from Theo) is one of the smartest, clutchest moves I've ever seen in a D&D game. There were several this season (Liam's Detect Poison and Theo's Knock come to mind) but Brennan's reaction after Lapan's interrogation of Keradin is incredible. Pretending to be in on the plan to get him to squeal, only to immediately pull rank (and with Theo's mild intimidation/humiliation) and start ordering the guards around is perfection. I really want to see Zac play more intelligent, scheming characters like Lapan, he really shines
