Did they do a Talks Machina panel beforehand too? That would add on an extra 60-90 minutes before the show proper.People are saying the show went for 8 hours, but I don't believe that.
None so far. I think they will keep it close to their chest until it is releasedWill there be spoilers from the live event on tonight's Talks? I'm assuming not, but don't want to risk it without asking.
For those that didn't see Talks, it's funny that the only person in the universe that didn't see them going immediately to that tower was Matt Mercer.
He gets so wrapped up in the details that he sometimes can't see the forest for the trees, I guess. I think they literally said "we should go to that crazy tower" the week before.For those that didn't see Talks, it's funny that the only person in the universe that didn't see them going immediately to that tower was Matt Mercer.
Well, it makes sense. Dunamancy is a new magic, it would surely be fucking with a lot of things.the answer to the question on Caleb & Nott's backstory intertwining, starts at 36:25-ish on twitch

I've put Campaign 2 on the backburner for now, and decided to finish Campaign 1 instead. I've just finished the Whitestone Arch and seenTiberius' goodbye, which I thought was nice. Then I made the mistake of reading the youtube comments where people where going crazy on Kayleth for being just a big a metagamer as Orion was... woops. Only another... 60+ episodes to go, I think
Keyleth was just a big dork, and the basement dwellers in the community want any female character to either be a sexbomb, cute and unimposing, or tough as nails. She didn't fit into any of those narrow archetypes like Pike and Vex did, so she got endless hate. Most people don't like to watch awkward characters, and Keyleth was intensely awkward.
The youtube streams are also quite good.The Alpha "Quiet" rooms are great! I wish I could watch it live more but... EST and on that 9-5 grind
Is the connection between Knott and Kaleb that the people from Kaleb's past are clearly the people who swooped through Knotts hometown and set everything on fire? I had to watch that episode in a million tiny chunks and got a tid bit lost with her son and the basement and their obsession with the fuckin chair and so on and so forth :-D halp
She definitely had some weird interpretations of spells that felt like she just read the title and briefly skimmed the description. I disliked those moments when she would get mad at Matt for just telling her what the spell actually does so her plan wouldn't work (mostly because they were just awkward and felt like when you're at a friends house and they're fighting with their SO while you're in the room) but they were a very small part of the show in the grand scheme of things.Well... i mean the vitriol in the chats in season 1 were mostly awful towards her for sure. There is never really a reason to go so in deep with the shit talking to someone just trying to play a game to entertain you. Definitely don't agree with the extreme level of hate they spew...
But like godamn remember your spells please. There are soooooo many moments in season 1 - like 50+ episodes past them being "new" to 5E from pathfinder where she just does ridiculous shit with her spells that wont work and Matt has to explain, again, that the effect she is asking for isn't really what the spell does. Queue 10 minutes of hemming and hawing over what to do instead followed by a minute or two of pouting and then finally moving on. I love Marisha to death but fuckin Keyleth, Vax and Percy got on my nerves. Repeatedly. Would have loved to play a character in that group, though.
Fast forward to her playing a straight forward as fuck monk and even when she's bein an obtuse teenager with a chip on her shoulder and attitude straight outta the guttah and i'm still into it. I like her in this character so much more.
also SPOILERS for background details on the end of the last episode:

It was Kryn soldiers from Xhorhas who torched Felderwin, most likely looking for one of the Beacons (Dodecahedrons) that Caleb's former instructors from Cerberus Assembly were experimenting on with Nott's Alchemist friend Yezza. Nott was blaming Caleb's "people", the Cerberus Assembly folks, for getting Yezza involved.

I
And she was never nearly as bad as Vax. I can't count how many times i was tapping the screen on youtube when that dude decided to be a brooding sad sack for the 10 thousandth time. And the staring. And the long............ pauses.
Like fuck dude just die already. Fer real.
Even Taliesin will do the thing where he'll go to use a spell and Matt will have to correct him on it because Tal didn't read the whole thing. Marisha as Keyleth was kind of tiring with that stuff, but I could overlook it just because her spell load out could be drastically different one week from the next. Keeping track of all that stuff is tough. I like Liam with this kind of stuff, because he's generally not afraid to ask Matt to clarify how something works before he tries to use it.
From his Between the Sheets interview I think it's obvious looking back that Liam was working out a lot of depression or other shit in his life through Vax. He had a bad medical condition I think the whole second half of the campaign. It wasn't necessarily always fun from an audience POV, but I think it was kind of therapeutic for him.
The best improv speech for my money was the Grog speech in the Kevdak episode. Inspired stuff.
The youtube streams are also quite good.
Much more consistent video quality, no chat, and it's easy to pause and scrub backwards if you need.
Absolutely. I don't mind Talesin because it's always clear what he's hoping to do - he is never vague with the spell in the hopes that Matt will hand out a gimme and let it slide - and when it's explained that isn't the way it goes he is instantly ok with it and moves on. He is a long term DnD guy i think and it shows. Liam is also just great in that he works out what his spells do and then really gets into the casting. The Firewall on the boat was fuuuuuuuuuckin dope.
I need to watch all those between the sheets. Didn't know that about the dude and i can definitely appreciate letting some emotional GUUUUUHHHHHHHh out through your artwork or passion. It definitely didn't ruin the game for me - obvo - but a little background on where some of that came from isn't a bad thing. I'll keep that in mind on rewatches as i curse his stupid name. :-)
and Grog was just a fucking champion through and through. From RP to following rules to just letting himself have fun - Travis is a good fuckin dude even though he is maybe the least familiar with DnD in the group and i don't think i've ever seen him argue with anyone at the table over anything. Would love to DM a game with him in it. And Laura too she's the fuckin best.
How DARE you not mention the best RP'er at the table - Sam fucking Riegel.
That's true, but I think there's a window of time that the video still plays after the broadcast ends if you just let it play and don't scrub around.Last time the youtube thread stopped when the show stopped - which sucked if you ever paused it/showed up late, because it'd end halfway through.
That's cause Sam Riegel does not act good sir. That man BECOMES his imagination.
But to be real - there was only ever 1 option of the people at that table for who would make a legendary Bard. The man is a tour de force who disappears into his roles like Knott into a shadow. With buttons.
