Dice Friends - After the Flood: Strandlines

[@whitefirecomix]

Amazing work by all but special shout-out to Adam! God damn, dude, you almost made me cry with that opening interaction with Petr's mother. Top quality RP. Love this one-on-one format and would be very keen to see more of it.

[@Weendigo172]

"And you never see Tamsen again" hit me like a punch to the gut. There are lots of ways that can be interpreted, and all of them are profoundly sad.

Dang! These are all great. * Boleznena's story does a great job at expanding on the themes of memory and identity that were only mentioned briefly in the main campaign. * Hela's story has /fantastic/ imagery, and makes me wonder at the mechanics of the flood. * Petr's story is just brilliant, and I think Adam did an amazing job at talking through his character choices and giving him a feeling of agency. "Your magic is how the world heals itself" is a beautiful, tragic contrast to "I want to use so much magic I can never cast a spell again." * Sword is a magical girl, and that's wonderful.

So Cam has been quite open about this idea that the Mechanics of D&D formed the storytelling and world of Etin. The Crucible ceremony seems like an answer to the problem of 'Why don't elves and half elves have more class levels'

[@leviadragon99]

"The rest is just a swordfight" hot damn that double-meaning was the perfect note to end on.

[@Winterpandacookies]

These are great. Realy enjoyed how Cam displayed his own world with these four characters.

[@johnn1199]

I would give a lot for more stories in this setting and even better with these specific characters. Fantastic work, Cam and players.

[@robertabugelis3962]

I thought this was going to be a second campaign! Now I want to rewatch them again.

[@kappaross6124]

Ooh yes! Was wondering when/if we'd get to see it

[@ZarathaZarati]

Thanks so much for doing these, I loved the extra backstory for everyone!

[@Simriel]

The theme music for the world of Etin evokes such a truly powerful amount of excitement in me. It tells me I am about to discover more about this wonderful world.

[@KumaKaori]

2:00:18, sometimes you roll the dice, and sometimes the dice roll you. XD. Serge is such a good sport.

[@ethanfordford6621]

I can’t wait to watch this! Just gotta schedule it into my schedule

[@ThinEndOfTheSWedge]

These are really rather beautiful.

[@aidankatz6983]

Cam this was awesome.

[@Simon-ow6td]

Woho! Didn't expect this! Just great, reminds me of my own one on one RPs I have run. Though I'm not half the Role Player or GM of Cam.

[@FrankiePeanuts]

I always wondered if that was a scar or paint on Petr's face. Now I know.

[@julianslavin3896]

oh it's paint

[@FrankiePeanuts]

O.o He had his face ripped open by a magic owl. It's a scar.

[@TheGodOfDucks4806]

i loved sword's and petr's backstories

[@MatthewMcKee]

this was fun backstory, but I wish it was released closer to the gameplay, I've already forgotten these characters a bit.

[@Othelbark]

Awesome.

[@AdrianCeroni]

Wow.

[@AllFlimmits]

I don't understand Boleznena's backstory...

[@Winterpandacookies]

From what I gathered and what Cam said in chat during the stream, it's basically depicting the life behind being a half-elf. According to Cam, the elves of this world are extinct and what remains of them are half-elves. Boleznena's siblings and relatives are all humans and have shorter lifespans than him, hence why his nephew is expecting a child. What's happening in the second part is that he is helping a fellow half-elf go through a ritual that basically expends their XP points in order to switch classes.

[@AllFlimmits]

@@Winterpandacookies Oh, it's more that it's exposition on half elves as a whole told through a protagonist we know than it is direct explanation of how Boleznena got to the CAMpaign.
