He didn’t show them respect because they weren’t his enemies. They were his loyal(ish) citizens who despite their obedience, were kinda starting to get a little underfoot, so he his solution was to just make them more manageable. The only reason he was using his super high Charisma to get things done in Thay was probably because that’s how long it was taking for his Corpse Corps to gather all the magical boogie boogie shit he needed to perform the ritual.

One of my favorite liches. He keeps scheming. And if memory serves he respects enemies who foil his plans. But yeah I hope Szass keeps Thay on the "evil merchant" route. The idea of a villain that you can't stab and that you kind of have to work with fascinates me as an idea in and of itself.

I've played with a group for 11 years now, with only a few hiccups here and there. Our campaigns average 2-3 years each, and we really put a lot of love into our games. Our Main DM just LOVED the Red Wizards and they showed up in most of our campaigns and usually as a major faction. Watching the D&D movie was so surreal for us because we know these guys so, so well and NEVER did we think we'd be seeing them on the big screen. When Szass Tam showed up, we as a group (of course we went together) were simply awestruck. It was HIM. It felt like it was made just for us.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. Honestly? The only thing I still remembered about Szass was that he was OBSESSED with magic items! (even as a lich) Sometimes even to an "unhealthy" degree (for a mage). Which is great for any adventurers who could successfully assail him or one of his strongholds. Because you generally ended up with a higher-than-normal amount of magical swag. Personally, I always like the more "recent" development of Thay "changing tactics" and trying to improve its "public image" and becoming an Artificer/ Merchant power. Granted, they are only doing that in order to conquer via economics instead of magic/ military conquest. But still, a cool evolution IMO.

I'm pretty sure my entry to your channel was that Red Wizards video, probably about 5 years ago as well. I was running Rise of Tiamat and my players were taking a long detour through Thay, so I had to quickly familiarize myself with the lore. Your video actually helped me understand the political situation quite a bit, and then I just invented the rest as I went along. My Thay is probably very different from canon Thay, but my players were pretty enamored with the place so I think I did well.

One thing I've always thought is that in a world with as much magic as D&D something like the Red Wiz are inevitable, in fact classical monarchies are unlikely as how does a regular King or Duke control a population with Mages? Instead something like ruling by Divine Right, or Sorcerous Bloodlines makes more sense.

Szass Tam doesn't merely wish to "ascend to Godhood so he can avoid his deal with Bane". He's attempting to enact the Ritual of Unmaking via the Dread Rings, which would unravel all of creation (including the gods), and grant him the power of all that raw potential to do with as he saw fit, basically making himself into the new Overgod Ao. This is why after making the deal with Bane, he chuckled and mused about how even gods can make foolishly bad deals. He's doing this because he sees the universe as flawed, and wishes to recreate it in what he views as perfect. He's by far the most ambitious villain in Forgotten Realm's history, even exceeding the ambition of Karsus or Larloch.

IMHO Szass Tam has always been a better BBEG than Vecna or Acererak, because although he could definitely be involved with plotlines involving world-ending calamity, he also has the potential to be part of smaller, more intimate stories. Rather than a god or a thousand-year-old planewalker, you're "only" dealing with one of the most powerful spellcasters in the world with the resources of an entire nation at his disposal.

In my campaign, I decided to have a beholder ship crash in a nearby frozen lake. Then, two weird things happened: I both started digesting all of "I, Tyrant" and discovering "Director" beholders, at the same time I somehow in my mid 40s never had seen "The Producers". I decided to have the "Director" putting on a play: "Springtime for Szass Tam". All of the lensmen aboard the ship were trying DESPERATELY to get all the props and set designs off the ship and they had built a stage along the roadside -- remember, frozen lake, so they're building a stage in the middle of winter -- in order to have a dress rehearsal. The party walked in on them and "The Director" (an amalgamation of the beholder itself and Christopher Hewitt's character from the 1967 film) immediately ordered them to all take up parts. Eventually, the party got frustrated, the beholder turned on them, and just as they were about to kill it, a "Producer Beholder" crested over the nearby cliffside and also attacked them. They spent their looting time searching through wardrobe trunks and propmaster trunks finding all sorts of clothing, a few clues to the campaign, and a few very weird items here or there that only a beholder would think isn't weird to keep.

The process of achieving Lichdom isn't fully understood in pretty much *every* fantasy setting. From Warcraft to D&D to Pathfinder. It has always been: 1) Seek Forbidden Knowledge 2) Vile Potions &/| Pact for the promise of power. 3) ???? 4) Profit! (and Phylactery!) It is also crazy to think that in the recent D&D movie the big bad girl of the film is simply a lowly follower of Szass. Which just tells you how terrifyingly powerful Szass was.

One thing I found interesting about the red wizards was that despite Sofina was easily the most powerful character in the main story of Honor Among Thieves, in the flashback she was treated like a generic red wizard among many. Are red wizards normally this powerful in D&D lore?

So... how does the cartoon continuity work into this? Did the Spellplague merge the Realm (the animated series setting) with Toril? Or maybe the cartoon heroes left that fantasy world similar to how Warduke, Strongheart, et. al., left Oerth via the Feywild...? Venger is apparently getting an official 5e/One release/stats/adventure/whatever... so maybe we'll know more about this when that happens?

I have to agree with Ed on this and say nice take on Zsasz. Some "artistic license" but overall great job bro ❤

Really should have at least mentioned Malark Springhill though. He is an extremely important person in the thayan civil war and the reason the dread rings failed.

What is the initial intro video with Szass from? I remember seeing it somewhere but can't place it and it's driving me nuts.
