I thought Johnny's "I've been secretly trained in swordfighting since I was 8" was going to be the most audacious flashback of all, but then along comes Mike with his "I've arranged it so Astor's been slowly going mad from lead poisoning" gambit. Magnificent. 😘👌

Wasn't it said at some point that Kasamir's cane had a sword in it (I may be getting confused because of the ghost shocker thing)? If so it does make sense for him to have some swordfighting knowledge, although from the age of 8 is still pretty absurd.

"But you don't innovate anything. The only innovator in this room is Edvard." After 2 seasons of admittedly amusing rants, it's odd how cathartic it is for someone to simultaneously validate Edvard's frustration and skill in one line while chewing out Astor for the crap he and his family have been doing for centuries.

@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor Poking fun and making jokes is one thing, Johnny does that too by repeatedly bringing up bees in BitD. But the reason I stopped watching the later Oxventure adventures is that it got way too joky for me. It was no longer about the fun, epic adventure but about Luke saying random nonsensical things, Andy destroying any plot he could with great passion, Mike being made fun of at nauseum (which at some points I seriously think kind of lowered Mike's enjoyment of the game and it's great to see him actually turn the joke around and become incredibly useful as Barnaby) and Ellen and Jane just kind of going along like "Whatever." That is why I am amazed that in BitD, Andy and Luke work toward the story instead of against it and Mike gets in on the jokes made about his character instead of suffering under them. Johnny is a pro as always when it comes to getting into character and even Jane and Ellen are more active in this.

@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor Yeah but there's only so far "This is what my character is like" can go.

And I am not saying this is bad or they should conform to how I want them to play, no no no, far from it. But it did break my enjoyment of the story and I just sort of gave up on the baseline Oxventure. This is why I am so happy to have this second season of BitD and am hoping to see more kinda of TTRPGs from the gang, maybe next time with someone else as GM like Jane or Mike.

The twist would be that while class, magic & character sheet would follow DnD rules the gameplay would follow BITD system as per usual like stress, harm, flashback etc. Ok I know it sounds hella complex but this is just me coping with BITD truly ending.

I remember when the 1st episode of this dropped, and I was completely enamored with the world that Luke had made. It immediately captured me and didn't let go, and from start to finish this has been an absolutely wild ride. If you guys ever see this comment, thank you, this Podcast was something to look forward to look forward to during some pretty tough months in the past years, So thank you. Thank you for all the wonderful stories you have told, old, it truly has been great.

What a perfect end to an excellent campaign, thank you so much Luke for running it and thank you so much Johnny, Jane, Andy and Mike for playing. I genuinely teared up a little there, but they were happy tears so it’s all good.

1:35:57 Johnny: "No, Kasimir trains with clothes on cause that's the state in which he expects to do much of his fighting, if not all." Luke: Mental note, concoct some scenario where Kasimir has to fight naked.

That was a brilliant ending. I'll miss the Hobby Horse Gang, if indeed we don't see them again, Edvard, Zillah, Kasimir, Lilith, and perhaps Barnaby most of all. But I've loved the ride on this. Luke is a fantastic GM, and Blades perfectly fits his style, though I'm sure he'll be brilliant if they go to something new. These truly were some Lovely Crimes.

And what powers oscilatronic devices? Every single one of the WMMs has the personality of the ghost that Edvard put in there. So in conclusion, in some ways the WMMs have a soul

And well done to Luke for being an excellent GM. I've enjoyed the difference in tone, the world-building, and lets not forget that AMAZING background music that he wrote and recorded himself. Just a phenomenal run. Bravo.

I can’t believe it’s over! This is what I looked forward to every Friday on my days off. While part of me wants a third season I’m not sure where to go from here. I’m not sure another season would work, but maybe a fun Christmas special that could serve as an epilogue. What’s everyone up to? What magic do they possess? How is Volisport now? Could be interesting.

@alexharrison2743 Жыл бұрын

I'm the same - as much as I desperately don't want this to be the end of Oxventure in the Dark, I really do think that was the perfect place to wrap up that storyline... I do wish that Luke had maybe spanned the story across another season, feature some of the other gangs/factions etc, but the succinctness of these two seasons is beautiful. I think a one-off epilogue Christmas episode could work well, but anything more than that would be cheapening the ending they've given
