@ivyartemis2431 2 ай бұрын

fun fact: so far, everytime tom has run this game on a stream or video, everyone's first roll has been negative, immediately turning one of the three mortal characters into immortal enemies. some of them have been inportant to the rest of the story (Lewis' french war buddy, Madeline) and some of them have never really shown up again (an immortal cat, an immortal donkey)

@KrazieAF 2 ай бұрын

My head cannon for the ending is that Madeline all this time has always been searching for Pyrion, one step behind him. It’s why Pyrion could never find her! But thanks to the archaeologist and his curiosity on Pyrions life, it made Pyrions movements predictable and easier to catch. She’s been in pain for so long being disconnected from her lover - so close yet so far! Seeing him create a song about her, solidified to her that immortality IS a curse and she will free them both. So when she finally sees Pyrion once again, and as Pyrion opens his tired eyes he is stabbed through the heart and asks “Madeline why!!” And she proceeds to stab herself and replies “our pain will stay behind as we move on together” both of them die together leaving the archaeologist dumbfounded at the sight… however he had his reasons, he wanted immortality himself and he drank their blood and gained their powers and now he is the new 1000 year vampire!

@42ndguardian 2 ай бұрын

Sad that it didn't end with Madeline being the archeologists' secret benefactor, having funded his research to find her husband. Then deciding to take them both out by flinging open an opening to the sunlight, having been ready to go for decades, but only willing to do it if they went together.

@Dostwyn 2 ай бұрын

It's funny how the beginning of this is very similar to Lewis's playthrough of this game during a stream. He was also a soldier who died and got resurrected at the battle of Hastings, although he was a Frenchman called Leonardé of Rocherdé.

@xavierreichel8254 Ай бұрын

I think, if you ask an 21st-century English man to roleplay a character for a thousand years, on average, most of them will pick an 11th-century English man. Not unexpected, but it does make me a little sad that all three TYOVs we've had so far have essentially started in medieval England. I hope the next time they play it, someone goes for a Roman emperor or a Mesopotamian swineherd (not that these three playthroughs haven't been absolutely fantastic).

The ending of my heart: It happens exactly as Pyrion tells the story, but insteat of the archeolegist and just ending. He regresses to his old, mortal self just for a few seconds and wispers: "Madelin, my love, i´ve finally found you." ... then he dies, with crying Madelin over him.

God's damn Pyrion is _so_ good at improvisational RP. He doesn't just arbitrarily say something, it's all funny and logical and contributes so constructively to the overall story. Absolutely riveting. Fantastic episode boys, Tom and Pyrion have to be one of my favorite duo's in the Yogs.

@Blitzkrieger17 Ай бұрын

damn, pyrions knowledge of history, and military history in particular, really paid off in this game. i love how enveloped he became in the character, and the way they altered history... i was totally hoping he'd become the man in the iron mask with the whole gunpowder thing, but the way he went about it was great! technologically advanced aztecs! but yeah, i agree with a lot of the comments about the ending, that Madeline would have been searching for him, and used the archaeologist to find him, to put both of themselves out of misery, rather than a blind, cruel, betrayal... HOWEVER, knowing how the game is played, perhaps that was just the luck of her roles, and SHE forgot how much they meant to eachother.... GREAT GAME, would 1000% watch this as a movie!

@coreywho2972 2 ай бұрын

Pyrion has fantastic chemistry with Tom. I know Pyrion isn't local so he dosen't get to see everyone as often as others. So it's really nice when he clicks with other Yogs members. I think Pyrion and Lydia are fantastic together aswell. Would love to see all 3 together some more !

@bitnewt Ай бұрын

This was my favourite yet! Pyrion's leap into alternative history was brilliant - and what a story! A romance, a sonnet, a ballad, a meme! It's fascinating how similarly Lewis, Tom and Pyrion's runs started, too, but I suppose it's natural to start with the history you know best.

Always up for more of this, so interesting to see everyone's stories. Recently did one of a Pictish woman with druidic themes which ended with her determining people are awful and disappearing into the forest. A note for Tom and others who want to play this - you don't need to start at Prompt 1. You use that as a starting prompt which you base the first roll from but it doesn't have to be the first one you act on. That particular bit of the rulebook isn't worded the best
