This series is so much fun!

[@TheIcuys1600]

This is great, I just picked up Destiny and Discovery and needed a good resource for GMing the setting!

[@bluespruce786]

Hey Max, are you still using them?

[@luisjomen2aS]

Thank so much for this amazing example! Could any one explain why Elden's illsuion didn't wokr on the "metallic octopus" ? I didn't know lore could have that much of a say in play, I would understand that the impossible should be avoided but an implant that creates illusions by "invading" the target's field of view, sounds legit ?

[@Variarte_]

Her illusion wouldn't work because there is a tech suppressing field presumably around the creature. And because her illusion ability is because of tech implant, her illusion tech wouldn't function.

I wish the dm was better prepared for questions he’s asked. Just kinda shrugs them off, like he wasn’t even prepared at all

[@Fizban0101]

You mean like he was improving instead of overpreparing for every contingency? It's almost like he has limited time due to...I dunno, running a business or something. 🤔

[@lucasbrewer9273]

GM be more decisive stop saying probably you are the universe and the God of numenera

[@susanbeneville5289]

It's a style thing. I like Monte's approach, it gives it a more collaborative feel.

[@nachojones1]

Love the game but Darcy seems so smug and fake. Tough to look at.

[@roqueadeleon]

nachojones1 I don’t get that vibe at all. She seems engaged and is always adding in things for her character and the RP experience. 🤷‍♂️

[@susanbeneville5289]

I agree with Roque. I also don't understand the point of making that kind of comment. Maybe let's try to stick to the high ground and not make personal comments about the players?

[@carabidus]

Any GM would be grateful to have a player like Darcy. She's smart, engaged and quite pleasant.

[@Fizban0101]

@@carabidus I agree. If anything she steps back and seems to encourage other players to be in the spotlight. I believe these days she works for Darrington Press with the Critical Role team.
