A tip for the people who miss the time stamps, Flando posts their timestamps on reddit because they are having trouble with KZfaq hiding their comments. What I’ve been doing while the problem is going on is just copying them from reddit and commenting myself since you can still see your own comments despite the timestamps not coming through to other people. Hopefully this problem will be solved because we all miss Flando very much. ❤

Official rules Warforged are humanoids to my knowledge. And the Hellls have a druid with fifth level spell slots. They have parts of FCG. Complications to this are many. Who knows if Aeormatons count as humanoids. Only Matt knows whether this spell could work. FCG may have a soul and be unwilling. Sending is back online but resurections, or in this case reincarnations may not be (outside of Ruidis). I have a feeling Sam won't go for this option, but what do I know. It jusf seems pretty on the table.

@@Sp4rt4nSl4yathat is a very good point. The spell Reincarnate does specify creating a body and then calling the soul to it. Which I would interpret as bringing back FCG into a meat body. But having watched several hundred hours of Matt DMing I can totally see him vetoing this for a number of reasons. I am very much just looking at this from a rules perspective.

Godddddd I love the confrontation with Liliana. It's *chilling*. Her mind's even more affected than Predathos than I realised. But she represents the indoctrination and sunk fallacy that gets people into the Ruby Vanguard. She's a dark mirror to the Bell's Hells, each with their own draw towards an unhealthy power to escape their shitty situations. Everyone had banger lines against her. Fantastic character. Fantastic antagonist. Love how the Bell's Hells at this point can't trust her but know how good it would be if they could use her.

@@Marpaws That absolutely reads as sunk cost fallacy/self-denial to me. Can you imagine how desperate Liliana would be to justify her 2 decades in the Ruby Vanguard at this point, especially to her daughter? How the bar for "horrible things" would have risen and risen and risen for her? Maybe she did try to mitigate or keep out of things. Maybe she had to start turning some blind eyes to justify to herself the necessity of her being there. It's an excellent reflection of the kind of circular thinking and adjustment of boundaries cults instil in their victims.

One thing I don't get is why they didn't point out to Liliana that things like charm person exist. In the world of D&D, feeling in your soul that something is right doesn't mean that it is. That's one way to really shake her confidence, make her actually analyze the risks from an outside perspective. "What if you are charmed? What if that feeling of comfort and rightness is an illusion? Does the other evidence match? What if Predathos is magically lying to you?"

Reasoning someone out of a magical charm is probably a lot harder than you're imagining. Just think about how hard it is to convince someone that they are in fact in a cult. They have all the information in the world about what a cult is and how they operate, and yet... nuh-uh, not a cult in their eyes. Now imagine in addition to their own mind manipulating them, there's a layer of magic as well. Good luck with that ^^'

So she could've waited until the beginning of Opal's turn and dropped the concentration right in its beginning, forcing Opal to skip two rounds (when the spell ends, the target can’t move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it).

It wasn't until now that I realized the common thread to most of the team. Something they can all relate to. Laudna was reanimated to be used as a vessel for Delilah's return. Ashton was imbued with the shard of a Titan to be used as a vessel for the resurgence of Titan power We learned today that Ruidusborn like Imogen are vessels for Predathos to be used for his awakening. Fearne was born under the red moon because her father wanted her to be a vessel in this way. Even Orym, who uses himself as a vessel of grief, following the path he believes his father and husband would have wanted him to go. FCG, the most obvious example as something created for the use of others, found a deeper meaning to his life. His friends. And chose his own path. Though Chetney is the weakest example of this in my mind, he also finds himself to be a vessel of this werewolf curse he has. Something he didn't willingly ask for, but something he embraced. Which is why I feel he's the most adjusted of them all. Something was done to each of them in order to become poker chips in a game others were playing. They were all made to be vessels, used to serve something 'higher.'

3:15:52 I love her as a player and a person but presently, at this time in her growth journey not as a DM. I can suspend the deviation of Matt’s themes with Matt having to harmonize afterwards like with the last exu. But If anything it’s because it’s too goofy, players can be goofy and it feel like a character trait and vibe fine but for me, I don’t engage in narration when it’s less structured and constantly playing around instead of story driven and immersive. Maybe it’s also the whiplash from going serious narrative to silly/randomly sexual/ non immersive commentary. Like any game it’s hard to keep playing when you have to buy in constantly. It would be the same issue if Sam was DM and only did Sam chaos stuff as DM. It’s fine as scanlan brand but it’s distracting and hard to engage when it’s your job to create engagement and cementing narrative

That's the gamble with things like this, that the viewers are aware of what happened in the side campaigns.

During a conflict Opal put the crown on to save the others. After which they split up, just before campaign 3 started, and then they had another adventure after Dorian re-joined them, a heist, which leads into this.

Not sure if it was the greatest choice to get away from our main party, to see what the crown keepers are doing, right after one of the characters died. But I understand that this was likely planed weeks in advance.
@JD2jr. 12 күн бұрын
If nothing else, I think they should have played this stuff in advance, so the team could reunite, and then they could do the whole "what have you been up to?" and cut to a "flashback". It was jarring ending on a cliffhanger of sorts, but instead of building anticipation with it, it was just an awkward segue to a disjointed story.

Just a question of opinion, no hate, no harassment. But am I the only one who was unpleasantly surprised with this episode. I was waiting for a deep conversation heavy grief trip for a character I loved by characters I care for. Instead I got a very long, pace broken mess of a game about characters I don’t care about, by a DM whose style I, personally, don’t enjoy. Not to bash on anyone, but the thing I have an issue with, is that this episode wasn’t advertised as Exandria Unlimited, it was presented as the main CR. And I can’t help but feel a bit upset. Just wanted to know if anybody feels the same. Have a great day everyone and don’t forget to love each other. ❤

Apparently Matt needed a break. Which he definitely deserves. But I feel like this is bad fanservice. And no, I don't exactly appreciate this change of DM seats either. It will be recaps for me until we return to the main cast and Matt as DM. You are not alone.

I don’t think I’d want to make my players RP more than 90 minutes of fresh grief, and I was glad CR didn’t either? I’ve honestly never been happier to see Aabria, but I can see why the handbrake turn was a real ‘love it or hate it’ moment?

Man, I feel sorry for Aabria. Her stints at CR are more often than not rather unfortunate. This switch has such an odd timing. I mean, it is nice to see Dorian, Opal & Co. again, but the decision to have the aftermath of C3E91 cut this short is just baffling to me. Sometimes there is a feeling that can't be recaptured, and just dissipates once it is lost.

honestly. i don't think there should be a different dm thrown into the middle of an campaign let alone an episode. im fine with CR having other people dm for side content/stories/oneshots. exu made sense to have different dms. same with playing the other systems theyve played. but in the middle of the main series is jarring

It's the Exandria Unlimited playlist. Ferne and Orym were originally part of this group with Dorian. They're why Dorian was with Bell's Hell's in the beginning. Getting caught up shouldn't be too difficult as they only had a mini campaign and not a full fledged 90+ episode arc to get through.

Since these characters have nothing to do with the story at all, I wouldn't worry about it. Its likely because of scheduling behind the scenes that this decision was made.
