Henotheism as the norm in fantasy rpg settings is fascinating when it’s so rare in the modern world.

Jon excellent job with Ep 76! There is no way you should be critical of your handling of the mask it was phenomenal. Loved the discussion of the pantheons and Gods in the detox; you guys are always raising the level of thought when it comes to RPG'ing. Thank you!

Nice to see a Roadside Picnic reference! I was rereading it recently and thinking how good something like that could be for a d&d style setting.

Interesting discussion about pantheons. I would have to ask Matt, what would it take for Avaricios to make the plunge to Thoth? (If there even is a turning point) Jon, Job well done as a DM. The whole session was great with choices and character development. (I was going to put this on the main video, but forgot to comment. Sorry)

What would it take? Quite a lot, I think. To abandon a lifelong devotion? To leave a god he loves, and who has performed literal miracles at Av's request? And Lysseon's parties are much, much better. I think it would take a real crisis of belief--a fundamental betrayal to get him to abandon the power that got him this far.

I think the Thoth situation was very well done and it gave the mask this enormous narrative potential that I think is very exciting. Also, for how creepy mother is, guaranteeing that political relationship was quite the feat and definitely important for your relationship with the beastmen and the goblins. It was a real nice session guys!

Giving up the Ioun Stone that increases Wisdom, when a huge chest of gold had already been given... There's a certain one handed cleric that is probably sad about that.

Maybe Thoth didn’t do anything because he was so flabbergasted at Avaricios’s insolent audacity, sort of like that recent video of a guy who was late to court, driving and talking to the judge through a video call, while his driver’s license was suspended. The judge was speechless for a few moments. The judge to the guy’s lawyer: “Why would he do that?”

I saw a video where a lawyer showed up to court late and he was obviously drunk. He proceeded to tell the judge the reason he was late was that he'd been in a car accident, didn't call the police or trade insurance, and was currently parked on the side of the road with his hazards on. You can't make this shit up. The judge ordered a breathalyzer. You should have seen the look on his client's face. 😫

Maybe “Audacios” is the name of your thief character you made.

There is Thoth speaking to Avaricious again, "Be the change you want to see in the world, Avaricious." I think Matt is right, Thoth sounds a lot like Jon. I wonder if he (Jon) is controlled by Thoth... Can't wait for Mort to become "the Ptoresus" (spelling). Going to be a good time for sure. Tuesday is so far away. Ted, are you saying Jon is the larger God, messing with Matt?

I have often wondered if that's why it was there. As a kid, I'm ashamed to say, it was like the worst cursed item you could be inflicted with but there must have been gamers for whom it was a blessing. Somebody at TSR knew it would be important to someone.

@@warduke42 Don’t be too hard on yourself! It’s just the other way around! I think that’s one of the reasons why fantasy and science fiction are great. Magical items like that girdle pose questions to people who perhaps wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise.
