"I'm Twiggy. *This is Trixie*." Such a great intro for a character! Deborah Ann Woll was such a great guest! So pumped for her new show!

[@leavealoner]

Oh man, is it Trixie? That makes so much sense! I thought the squirrels name was Tricksy, but I thought that was a little bit too much like Twiggy and I was constantly wondering if their names were similar for a reason.

[@theadultdemon]

it's like seeing two dms in a candy store showing others this awesome thing they have they're so in sync it's like dm instincts

[@Peter_Cordes]

You're in luck; she DMed a whole 6-episode actual-play series, Relics & Rarities, for Geek & Sundry. kzbin.info/aero/PL7atuZxmT954B-AtfJsw_YbULHL_L7J8z plus a followup episode at a convention. It's excellent, with a different guest each episode, starting with Matt Lillard. She's also DMed a few one-shots.

[@SaintBigfoot]

I adored Twiggy so much, her interactions with Caleb were the best.

[@bumblingthroughdungeons]

Amazing stuff. Most underrated moment was Liam's stone face when Caleb is introduced to her. Nobody stays in character for the sake of the scene like Liam.

[@tyetnic]

I love how Deborah basically described things like a DM would. She's great!

[@HelicopterShark]

Partly her play style, partly how anyone should introduce their character on their session one, partly as Matt used her character to introduce the happy fun ball. I'd suggest to any DM with a friend that's interested in dnd but hasnt got the time to commit, to allow them to play an Story PC (NPC that's controlled by a player really) Allows them to experience the RP and it disguises the hand holding that tends to come with a brand new player joining an established group.

Mercer got some great adventures...the last few GMs I been with are so much into politics, low magic, low exp, its so boring, even the players arent as humorous as these celebrities. I love playing characters like Deborah's Twiggy to lighten up the mood of the atmosphere...but they roll their eyes or say you touch my stuff i cut you, etc...some people just dont know D&D is about high adventure and fun.

[@madanotap6492]

I mean, technically speaking d and d is about whatever you want it to be about rather than specifically one thing like 'High adventure and fantasy' but I do agree that having your group want a different atmosphere to you kind of sucks

[@madanotap6492]

I hope that situation improves for you later.

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

different strokes for different people. If grimdark isn't DnD then why do people love Curse of Stradh?

[@thehorse5307]

I agree to some extent. My current session I'm playing the DM is all about sticking to the rules or making them harsher. Even if you roll a one on your HP level up he doesn't let you reroll, all of the encounters we face we barely make it through the skin of our teeth and encounters are a lot more dangerous because he decided to make Short rest a day and Long rest a week (but only for HP recovery since that would make Mages impossible to play and classes with short rest cooldowns have like half their abilities missing most of the game). While the HP recovery system is more realistic since your character isn't going from Level 1 to Level 11 in the space of a few months, I don't think a tabletop fantasy game needs to be that strict. Although I do find our new game a lot more tense as a result as now any encounters we face across the way carry real weight because we can't just recover all of our shit from a nights rest.

[@brilobox2]

Holy what? Your fellow players aren’t as funny or entertaining as these trained and highly experienced actors doing a show in front of a camera? Noooo

[@Agrellar]

She better be careful, Wilson Fisk is RIGHT there.

[@estoy1001]

If she returns as a recurring character, she's totally Q from Star Trek: TNG. BTW, Laura's vocalization of Jester asking Twiggy "How long have you BEEN ON THE SHIP?" (not in this highlight) is possibly one of my favorite Jester lines ever. She has Jester's original personality and mannerisms so well. When Jester says "Hey! We saw youuuu!", it's amazing from just a linguistic standpoint.

[@jesterssketchbook]

I'm also obsessed with Laura's cadences and accent. "This was downstairs!" is a standout to me. Couldnt agree with your comment more!

[@peterlewerin4213]

That was... something. This group of people are all amazing in their own ways, intelligent and creative, working hard and having fun at the same time (in a good way). Even OOC, they contribute to the feel of the game. I half recognised the guest actress, I'll come back to that. At first I was put off by the sheer amount of saccharine, and I couldn't really decide if it was the actress piling it up, or the actress playing a character who was piling it up. (It makes a difference. It's like _Tropic Thunder:_ Robert Downey Jr. didn't wear blackface: he played a character who did.) And then I saw how the actress interacted seamlessly with GM and players and all was well, and the cutesplosions with Laura/Jester, and it all worked. But she did pull out all the girlie-cute stops. Anyway, Deborah Ann Woll. I was following True Blood for a few years (I stopped watching because of the mind-control shenanigans in #4) and Jessica was one of the highlights. A woman who can't quite escape her teens, who is given the powers of an ageless predator. A mixture of innocence, rebellion, and pragmatism, just like any young person but amplified. Inconscient Bill is forced to become a parent. Pam, who gloated at Bill's misfortune, is forced to deal with some baby vampire issues as well. And Hoyt-- Jessica was one of the minor characters that contributed a lot to the quality of the show. Excellent work by DAW, hope to see more in the future.
