MMD S4 Legacy Eps 10: "For Good or for Ill"

[@Mia-z5e]

Thrag: "Cast the phylactery into the fire, Vale. Destroy it!"

[@GreekSoloRPG]

I was there the day the strength of the Order of the Purifying Flame failed.

[@Eryomis]

"Are you the BBEG?" "What? no." "Okay, continue." "Join me, and together-" "That's it i've heard enough." curb stomp the phylactery.

[@foolcat23]

This is more gripping, engaging, and entertaining than Rings of Power at (presumably) a fraction of the production costs. 😄 Thank you Trevor!

[@gmscott9319]

I would hope he's spending less than $50-60 million per episode. Maybe just $40 million, eh?

[@scottwalker6947]

Having a Lich want to end its existence certainly would be an excellent subversion of expectations. And, would make an interesting story.

[@andrewstraight2961]

Trevor, this is hands down one of the best live plays of *any* RPG, solo or otherwise. The meaningful choices, rich characters, and the great care you take editing deliver such a polished, immersive, and captivating experience! Bravo, and thank you. Super inspiring. Can’t wait to get my hands on the Broken Empires RPG! *Standing ovation!*

[@GroovyAshley77]

What I always find interesting is that Veil is part of an Order whose whole life’s purpose is to put the dead to rest. Yet, she herself can’t let the her dead friend/mentor go to rest. She’s torn between her duties as a member of the Order of the Puritying Flame and her own personal grief. It’s tragic, but also very understandable. Good episode as always! 😁

[@animatorFan74]

oh man, the plot just gets thicker and thicker..... so so crazy. Like going to face your high school bully and you find out his victim story and just start feeling sorry for the guy. It would be SO FREAKIN COOL to get Sherylin back, though, after all this time..... I just hope Edbert finds out what happens either way. And whatever the ending will be, it's gonna be crazy :P

[@samsolitaryroll]

You've expressed perfectly the falacy of Veil's line of thought while clouded by her obsession towards Cherilyn. This is an obvious lie by the Lich (or is it?) and she fell for it line, hook and sinker (or is she?). And this episode made me revisit your Lichdom episodes for the umpteenth time for confirmation of the Lich's personality. Looking forward to witness where the dice will take you and Veil next! Great stuff!

[@zuzoscorner]

Randomly reminded of Fallout New Vegas and Dead Money Begin again. Elijah: Finding it, though, that's not the hard part. It's letting go.

[@Mothsaam]

I loooove the personality mechanics. I'm so excited for the Kickstarter!!

[@normnevins8067]

Trevor!! You are killing me this season...moment, twist, moment, twist. Ahhhhhh! Great work as always.

[@darthaelris2059]

Good stuff good sir. And as side note, great to hear you back in the booth over at Lego Star Wars. Really liking Rebuild the Galaxy

[@Zaknus1]

Not only have you changed my perspective on solo RPGs (I never understood the appeal or why they became so popular), but I also thoroughly enjoyed watching your online solo sessions to the point where I'm now watching all the seasons in reverse order, currently starting Season 2. Previously, I always got bored watching online sessions and preferred to run/play my own. I also backed your Kickstarter and can't wait for the finished product to run it for my players. It looks like it might be the best d100 fantasy system I’ve found so far. Thanks for broadening my horizons!

[@sebastienparadis9115]

The more i watch this serie the more the flaws vanish from the broken empires. Keep it up.

[@danielp.9522]

Veil is definitely in love with Cherilyn!

[@StatsScott]

It was great to see the personality traits optional rule come into play. Your talk at GenCon introduced that and it sounded like a great way to help with character development / roleplay.

[@shadowdx2757]

Damn. The storyline becomes really beautiful and tragic.

[@thepittbull1568]

4:28 "Oh Oh he said it. He said the thing!"

[@Alkis05]

Man, it is uncanny how much our design decisions about rpg system align so much. I have been designing a system that hits the exact same notes. I truly aiah you succeeded in completing your project, because I would have the rpg system I always wanted, or something pretty close and all would have to do is pay for it, it is much cheaper than designing it buy yourself, as I know so well. I dont know what I want sooner, the game or the last episode of this wonderful campaign. Good luck in all your endeavors and thx for all your contributions to the community

[@DeletarTepes]

The rolls for the phylactery absolutely killed me. Looool

[@ThisIsNotAUsername-v3o]

Yours is the first TRPG podcast I have thoroughly enjoyed and plan on watching another episode of.

[@bizzy5439]

One of the best episodes of this season for sure. Looking forward to the kickstarter!

[@Stephen-Fox]

You know, I think that personality mechanic sent me over the edge on if I was going to back this or not, given that I've never really tried a simulationist system before. I do wonder if circumstances can modify it or not (e.g. if stuff like fatal flaws can modify it beyond the simple number), but... I love it when a character sheet gives me tools for figuring out what my character would do in situations I have zero clue (and, no, 'chaotic good' is way too abstracted to count as such a tool, and the anathemas and edicts that PF2e replaced alignment with recently is too specific)

[@SaintSolo]

let the kickstarter Begin! I need the Game in my Hands

[@blakeharp2255]

What part of “IT’S A TRAP!!” does Vale not understand? :-) Good stuff as always! That was an insanely fast episode!

[@shonlewis8336]

Just...wow!

[@nettaros9432]

Amazing as always!. The dice take you to fascinating twists. Can't wait for the next one!

[@srpyle]

Bravo! So good! Can't wait to back the KS!

[@theDexMcHenry]

Great storytelling.

[@tobarstep]

"of the purest shimmering samite" LOL Look, Trevor. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!

[@macoppy6571]

The fate of the new "Personality Mechanic" hung in the balance. Would a binary result enhance the verisimilitude, or would it shatter the fourth wall 🧱 causing it to be banished to the shadow realm for all time?

[@Arcanaambient]

this episode was so awesome! thank you Trevor!

[@billn5866]

It's like the question of do you try to use the One Ring for good...

[@shad0wsta1k67]

I really hope season 5 focuses on Simon and the gang using the Broken Empires.

[@Thepaintedmini]

So Sauronesque!!!

[@Multiklaaas]

Hit like before the KZbin ad finished haha 😅

[@darecarrasquillo]

well, WOW. okay. NOR KARATH, NOR KARATH, NOR KARATH!

[@Liatlordofthedungeon]

wow

[@8urk3]

awesome

[@MrDowntemp0]

Cherilyn is going to be really disappointed in Veil

[@ssteele1812]

Please tell me that this season will continue at some point.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

This season will continue at some point.

[@ssteele1812]

@MeMyselfandDieRPG lol. Nice. Thank you. I can't wait. For now I'll go back and finish Five Parsecs.

[@ksfarmmom]

Did this story ever get finished? Are there plans to finish it?

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Getting to it soon. Still working through the Kickstarter process.

[@MrJHDK]

Liches be crazah 😁

[@Graunstin]

comment for the al gore rhythm

[@chapter7309]

I feel like Thrag should be more forceful. He was also given the task to see that Lich is destroyed, right? And is sceptical about Sherlyn spirit, right? i expected some kind of argue here. But nonetheless here we are. Good story.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

He tried to warn her multiple times. We’re not done yet…

[@Griggs1981]

Great episode few questions how old Is charlyne and is she human

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Did you see Season 1?

[@duieb]

When's the next episode???😢😢😢

[@AaronQ64]

Probably when hes done with the Broken Empires.

[@cybrim1]

Did the Lich make the Soul Cage at the request of the Goddess?

[@ruolbu]

maybe an old type of common/popular lamp was coincidentally used in both cases separately. Like two supernatural beings both going "I need some vessel, let's just grab this really common ikea-lamp that is standing on every corner of the world." :p

[@cybrim1]

@ruolbu lol, the soul cage is on discount at IKEA? Nope, another knock-off

[@josephhill2920]

What are some good sengl rpg games I ordered ironsworn but it cam in a language I don't know and can't find it in English

[@YannMiollan]

I don't know if it's possible, but I would like to purchase the 2-hour actual play of The Gloaming Pool you made with Professor DM, Dave and Kelsey. I cannot subscribe to patreon or youtube because it asks me for a credit card. I can only make one-time payments. I don't really know where to contact you directly.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Send me an email at trevor(at)memyselfanddie(dot)com

[@MollyGermek]

Veil is literally so lesbian for that choice. Love that for her.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Are you under the impression that Veil’s relationship with Cherilyn was sexual?

[@MollyGermek]

It doesn't need to be. It's extremely gay regardless. This is a classic trope in lesbian media. One woman who has sacrificed herself for the greater good to save others has that choice over-ridden by a woman who misses her. Off the top of my head it crops up in all sorts of stuff from Sailor Moon, to Life is Strange to Puela Magi Madoka Magicka.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Interesting. To me, the theme is far more universal: the need for redemption. It’s a theme that seems to permeate all my various works. Nothing particularly “gay” about seeking redemption, simply “human” :) An interesting observation nonetheless.

[@darecarrasquillo]

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Its ALL about relationships either way!

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

True enough :)
