So Priya really texted Pete and had coffee with him and said that they should be a part of each other's lives just so that she could blindside him and use him as a prop in her exhibition. Imagine if that exhibition had gone to plan too, especially if Pete hadn't made all of those friends. For all Priya knew he was still in a really awful and lonely place. With all of the things he's struggling with, there is no way the people there (who were there for Priya) would have seen Pete as sympathetic. So glad that Pete has some friends who try to look out for him.

[@frostbound]

There is a whole play about almost this exact thing called The Shape of Things. Spoilers, the girl completely changes everything about this guy because they are in "love", she then breaks up with him out of nowhere, then reveals at the end that the whole thing was an art piece about how moldable a human is with the right "artist's touch". It's sickening. But I believe this is what Pete was referencing about Priya not being original. I am also so glad Pete has healthier friends for him.

As someone who has listened to all of naddpod... Do not underestimate Emily Axeford. Her decision making is spot on, her characterization is great, her humor is always ready, her accents are on point, and her emotional involvement is second to none. She knows how to play hard and be a fukin delight doing it.

[@KattReen]

This is the first campaign I'm watching, and I'm very unfamiliar with the rules of this game(it's still narratively interesting and entertaining to watch these people play), but I'm definitely the most interested in Sophia's character development. Which is saying something when two of these characters are like the magical yin fucking yang holding the entire city together lol. Like yeah I want to see where that goes, but the Sophia arc is what has had me glued to this shit where I'm sitting down every day to watch 4-6 hours of this. I'll probably get dropout I think, this is a lot of fun.

[@greenredblue]

I've noticed something subtle but brilliant about these encounters. As a DM, game balance is very difficult. You're always on a knife's edge between the two worst possible outcomes of trivial empty victories and party wipes. But Brennan does something clever: every encounter I've seen him run has been just blatantly unfair, and far outclasses the party. But to compensate, he's constantly cheating in favor of the players. He lets them choose what proficiencies to use for rolls, he lets them break rules for virtually any excuse, it goes without saying he controls the villains. Usually he masks this with some kind of improvised little story, but in the subway encounter he just flat-out told Kingston to reroll a death save because he wanted a better outcome. This is amazing because it lets the players have free rein to try whatever crap they want, while feeling like the DM is on their side, yet giving him great ability to covertly alter the difficulty at will.

I absolutely love that this fight was all about trying to do the right thing in spite of personal cost. It's been a major theme of the adventure, especially the last episode, and I do like the way that the "always save the powerful hostage" message was both played straight (Willie letting Sofia get the final blow) and subverted (the people are just people, but still important to save). Excellent work, everyone. Also, I love that the battle against Infierno specifically was really Ricky and Sofia's fight. From the first blow to the last, her thematic arch-nemesis and *actual* arch-nemesis were laying down the big scary martial damage with every reason to want her gone. Also cool that Pete did more buffing/neutralising while Kingston was laying down constant damage. Really an inversion of the classic sorcerer/cleric dynamic *and* (as they mention later) a new colour for both of them, while also perfectly suiting their characters. Kingston was just DONE with this shit by the end, while Pete never stopped trying to make people feel better through the fight.

[@daniellins4114]

@@glowing_purple_girl I guess it a lesson to take: if you want an epic fight, give the boss high AC. Either all the hits will be epic, or it will defeat the party and set them up for a revenge arc

[@duncant6364]

An episode ending peacefully and happily? I don’t believe it. The next one is gonna properly screw everything up, I bet you. This is Brennan killing us into a false sense of security before the kill. And he’s gonna wear a nice soft sweater so we won’t want to beat him up in a Denny’s parking lot, but guess what, Brennan? It’s not working! Those theatre kids are going to get a show, whether or not you remind us of our dads! -With love from Indiana

The way Misty no hesitation just goes “you old bitch!” To Isabela is priceless. She somehow always has vicious mockery active

This session was still not long enough.

[@Electru522]

@@obadijahparks You kidding? They were maybe 2 turns at most from the whole party dying...even the fucking story says that they were not supposed to walk out of this. About half way through, my mind was saying "Just get the fuck out. Focus on keeping the party alive, and pray the NPCs are smart enough to follow us." The fact that they not only killed the bitch (in the fantastic fashion they did), but also got all but 2 civilians out, and all on a shred of health left is proof of their ingenuity, determination, and flat out fucking luck in this fight. This was a GRUELING fight, and lasted just as long as it needed to.

Screaming every time Brennan made Isabella misty step when she was stunned (bonus actions count as an action type for the purpose of stunned condition)😓

[@Jacobbrown-vd2gu]

Rule of cool

[@MeemBeen]

Didn't see anyone mention it but just for budding DMs; Flanking giving Advantage on attacks *is* in the DMG under the "Option Rules" section of the book. So it's sort of like official homebrew--use that at your discretion.

[@CptCalicoJack]

To be fair, the book is called a "guide," so the whole thing is "use at your own discretion"

[@MeemBeen]

@@CptCalicoJack that's true. My point though is that in the video it was called out explicitly as not an official rule, despite the fact it is

[@sanoban]

Rules are not always well respected in this campaign. Ricky got to use channel divinity twice in one fight. You can't normally...

[@Owen-bk5fc]

I'm not a big fan of the flanking optional rule. It undermines other mechanics that give advantage and encourages combats to turn into big "conga lines" of people flanking each other.

[@williamfrenzel327]

The way Murph looks at Emily when she’s kicking ass is couples goals.

[@FantasyFanatic42]

I love that Brennan just looks directly at the camera and says "the dog's fine" just as I began to hyperventilate. 😂😅
