The Dungeon Master…. Matt
Beezaura the Halfling Fighter…. Leah
Graven the Goliath Cleric…. Anthony
Safira the Half-Elf Ranger…. Riley

I totally get that - As a player I definitely think there is still so much world building and understanding in the subsequent chapters that helps people get there. I had no idea what world I was in for during that first episode. But anyway I hope you are enjoying it regardless!!

Found you guys through KZfaq Shorts and came to this video to check the campaign out, but I was not expecting all of the Incan inspiration for the world building! As someone with a peruvian herritage, it was really cool to hear Quechua, and to imagine the world through the lens of the Incan culture. Now I'm 100% watching the entire campaign!

For anyone wondering if they should commit to this, DO IT. I am only in the teens now, but it's addictive and helps me get through long days, great stuff.. Also, a point of import I want to make: Do not have preconceived ideas about this show "being like" other popular shows you know of... These people are individual and unique and the DM's style and in depth world building shouldn't be compared. Saw a comment on the shorts to the effect of "why does there always have to be a character that sounds like ___ (from this other popular character voiced by a talented woman named Laura on a different show) ?"... That would be akin to saying every person from the south sounds like (aforementioned person's c3 character), or every sweet southern drawl sounds like or is immitating other characters from said campaign... Drop expectations and be rewarded. Excellent work guys, Loving it so far.

@tabletopnotch 2 жыл бұрын

I PROMISED YOU! :D Thank you for motivating me. And yeah our spotify was launched only a few months ago, so we had a huge backlog of episodes to convert. We decided Chapter 41 and Genesis (filmed on the same day) would be a good starting point for the podcast without creating a humongous workload for our sound guy. Now that people are really finding our stuff, we are hoping to get all eps up in podcast form in the next couple weeks. But also, our sound is so trash early on sometimes, we felt bad releasing those as audio only entertainment hahah

I'd closer compare it to a steroid, I suppose? But more potent and immediate of an effect. And it's something so new that people haven't really discovered the side effects yet, which is I think why it's so dangerous at this point in time. Many are using it for all kinds of things without understanding the repercussions.
