I need to understand how/why Vasselheim survived the Calamity, and I think the city is a perfect backdrop for... Dawn of Divergence? Or maybe it's just Calamity, Downfall, Dawn as a trilogy

Holy shit, what he says about Aeor when the M9 find it in C2 and its inhabitants not being a product of the age of arcanum, but rather people living there would have grown up in the Calamity 🤯

Watching the third episode of Never Stop Blowing Up before this and seeing the players protesting against Gymnast Martial Artists who are all the same age (except for one of them) is so crazy. Why am I more scared by the way that Brennan said that he keeps things on the rails for the players benefit, than I am by the certainty of Aeor being destroyed after this mini arc concludes?

Brennan is always such a hecking delight to watch. Great interview! I am SO excited for Downfall. I have no idea how they're going to approach all of this, it could go SO many ways, and that's amazing! We know Aeor falls, it's in the title, it's the getting there that's fun* :D *fun = I expect to be left a bawling mess again, and to leave a piece of my heart in Aeor permanently, joining the other fragments that have at this point been scattered from one end of Exandria to the other. I can't wait! Can I also just say again how much I appreciate when interviewers LET THE GUEST TALK, like, it's so nice when they wait for the whole answer to a question, instead of pushing ahead before the guest can finish the thought. Caitlyn is really good at this sort of interview! When the people you're interviewing are storytellers by nature, letting them talk is such a gift for the viewers :) I always look forward to watching these.

I love Brennan's pitch for Divergence, and understand his desire to leave things as a trilogy, but... just adding on that seeing the Gods and Titans sealing away Predathos would be insane.

Would love to see a season of Matt and Brennan trading off being DM's. Each of them feeding off the other in the story direction. They could share a Player Character when they are not DMing. Filling this character with extraordinary color and improvisationalism. Making the storyline fresh and chaotic and allowing these two geniuses to have fun!!!

Agreed. Those guys took humble table top gaming to a completely new level. They gave everyone a lesson of what the scope of storytelling and theatre could get to within this particular canvas. Exandria was gripping, shocking and hilarious from the introductions to the final catastrophe, impossible to pick out one outstanding moment or even moments, there was so much talent and commitment to the telling of the story from everyone at the table.

This has been my foremost thought since I heard about Downfall. I do like Brennan's idea of exploring the Divergence, but if he and Matt wanted to skip a bit further ahead, the destruction of Molaesmyr would be the next most impactful and significant event in Exandrian history to explore (in my humble opinion). Also, was Ludinus both a founder of the city and a catalyst for its demise?

I hope I am understanding this correctly, because now I want it to happen. Will the player characters be acting on behalf of the gods, caught in the juxtaposition between divine fury and parently care? What will it look like to have primes and betrayers working together? That's also a great way to bring another source of tension into the party. I can't wait!
