Yeah, let me get some music playing Oh my god, we can actually look at I forgot.   I forget for God It's okay now she doesn't have to get tweeted at all the time true. Yeah, at least any of the YouTube post by Oh, and you have a fan art reel up at the top I love it I do I'd love to commence the idea of telling the story of how I'm associated with the you're gonna knuckles me I What creation? Yeah, what you guys don't know that I know of the meme I didn't know that there was a war to it outside of Braggzilla. I think because I saw the queen thing Oh Yes, so I could tell the quick story of that so in case you guys don't know the you've gone to knuckles me I'm started with Gregzilla who is an amazing animator and artist and It started with what is the video of him doing a review yeah kind of review Sonic the world Yeah, and I had done the sound effects for that video for some of the animations in it And that's how I'm associated with the meme. All right. Well, how dare you perpetuate that? I Think it's a world-class meme It was such a it was so huge. I remember my friend Gil dressing up as you gone to knuckles for a very worrying statement anime All right, okay But yeah, welcome everybody for those who are here early welcome to the post campaign chat Starring the players and DM of Belkanis necrohunt Darring it's a strong word You guys are the star though, and I don't know. I always feel like a shining star No matter who you are Wherever you are Can we pretend that Airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars. Can I leave? We're straight now I love Nicki Minaj All right, so anyway Welcome to this dumpster fire No, I have the minimum amount of structure for what to do with this So I guess welcome to our little Q&A Belkanis necrohunt is over I apologize that the the episode is a little later We had a little bit of audio issues but it has been solved and Tizen is working like a busy busy be like the good editor that he is and Today we get to talk about the campaign before we launch into some of the frequently asked questions Is there anything that you guys wanted to talk about the campaign first? I? Love you Legitimate question because I think I know the answer, but I just want to I it's like it's like but I don't have like absolute DM confirmation Why the hell did Luna sword keep getting pulled towards necromancy was that weird Raven was at the Raven Queen shit?   So I mean So I think that Luna found a meaning out of it I'm just curious what the no no no that's a good question because it does contradict something in the previous part of the campaign so You know credit where it's not do ie. I didn't do a good job of explaining it myself at the time I know this is a slight retcon, but Basically They're in the lustrous expanse I have an idea that the power of belief is strong enough that it can Kind of manifest into magic ie. That's how things like clerics and paladins work is their belief in faith in a thing Is what gives it its power Rather than They're handing out power. Yeah. Yeah, so that there's a note in the notes that Laszlo has on the play on the characters Invert time about how it's like mmm I wonder how her sword is doing all of this perhaps a it's a manifestation of her belief in the Raven Queen You know all that stuff akin to a palette in her cleric So that is my explanation for that and perhaps her learning about the power You know that all of this was just within her herself meaning the Raven Queen would have maybe subconsciously Caused the sword to go back to being normal Yeah, I like I said I drew my own meaning from it I I drew that it was little things of the Raven Queen trying to get my attention like when she like when she like as Echo dad like reached out and stopped Luna when she was having that like sparring that's that like angry sparring Those few times I so I found meeting out of it I just just curious what the like what the Because me and you when we talked about this we were like I want I was like I want vague I want to be able to interpretate and I want to be able to be wrong So I was curious on just what the original intention was hmm, I Don't think it was poorly executed. I enjoyed it and as the person who owns the character I think I was her right to have the final say I liked how you did it. I'm glad I'm glad also by the way I don't know if I mentioned the art that you can see in the background not the slideshow at the top right the art That is showing everyone. This was done by our wonderful Cinematic artist Kate tactician Kate who is great and My right-hand girl that has also helped me like write a lot of the things that I kind of wrote myself in the corner She helped me figure out the thing about Luna sword and where to go with Enoch's character and pretty much everything That I was stumped on so thank you Kate if you're listening you helped me figure out and and kind of Fix and patch all the a lot of the plot holes that would have been in necro hunt otherwise That's interesting I want to hear more about that I want to hear more about so this is my burning question Just constantly because I don't know how many people in the chat know this But there is a trailer for necro hunt that came out five years ago And ever since I started clicking on the actual necro hunt sessions that trailer On your personal channel kept getting recommended to me over and over I need to know What the main like what the big differences were between this session and all of the other ones that you've ran Oh, man lots. Firstly. There was no Raven Queen nonsense.  Yeah, I like the way that it was drip fed to us There as we like went to location to location and I love that they wasn't like hi blue I love so much that it was just the random pranks of this One little little necromancer and not like anything sinister like somebody trying to leave a paper truck. Yeah, right How it turned out Was Cara always like not the bad guy and Chandra was always evil. Yes always always I had it where it was all a conspiracy that Chandra set up Also, her old name was Donna, but that was too confusing because Donna Cara too close together So I changed it to Chandra Chandra sounds more fancy anyway Okay, how many people? Sorry. Oh, I I I have a I have a pretty somewhat morbid question in this aspect because I Got asked this a lot, especially When I was finishing up D6 Donorate was what would have happened if we had died like if all of us had had failed and they're and And Chandra had their way. What would have happened? Okay? either So I wouldn't I Would say that if the party had failed There are two different failures.  How many people figured it out or rather how?  And us in figuring all that out So there are two different points that the party would figure it out Because of the fact that I didn't lay clues out nearly as well as I did with you guys because that's a new thing And I'm very proud and happy about that because that was not the case like I said all the clues were at the Like invert time all at once So I feel like the mystery was less interesting and less well thought out So they would either figure it out when they fought Cara and learned that she wasn't the Black Vein Queen or they learned it at the end if they had Pokeballed Cara brought her back and then I don't know we're hesitant to give it back to Chandra because there was a bunch of loose ends And they didn't know where she was going with it I just love how much that we are just recalling it pokeballing at this point. Yeah, they're not mu crystals anymore The pokeball worked and then it got smashed That Luna would have picked it up Protected me and I was just so in the moment And I felt so bad after I ran away, I was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry I would just couldn't have been solved so fast these fighters would have died before they took it from Luna Yeah, I had it. I had real quickly another idea In the battle before you do Aaron. What's up daddy? I just want to I just want to shout out agent B Smith. He's a friend of mine. He just rated the chart Yeah, thank you agent B Smith for for the race All right, thank you. Okay back to your anyway, yes Yeah, I still had my mute crystal your time and when the dragon came out I thought Could that have been possible and this is more from Aaron to Joe is Would that have been possible to use a mute crystal on that dragon?  I think it would have been it would have been definitely useful to have just like, okay I'm blind. Could I just throw this at the at the torso area and would have that would have solved that problem But then again, we would have at risk If that thing broke out of the mute crystal because obviously lots of necrotic energy and magic and you know It couldn't contain Abbey why would I would think it would contain, you know this draconically delay it while we came up with a plan though, right? Be that is I would say that as well. Probably okay, so that that's a mistake on my part I just thought it wasn't gonna work at all speaking of mute crystals I So I read some of the questions in advance for this and my favorite one was like, what are some things that you would have done differently Right before Cara went through her portal and said kill the bitch I desperately wanted to throw my mute crystal at her just sit on scene capture her and then We can have a conversation. I could have just told the group like we need her to lay a trap or something and And the only mad as a player like that would have been very smart The only reason I didn't is because I had just saved the day in the fight against bloodstried And I really didn't want to steal more of the spotlight like right after But I really wanted to do it like as she was walking out.   I thought that was a really that was like Nathaniel coming in clutch I think oh, yeah, I think if that if your move had not worked. I'm pretty sure that Vertheim would have died I don't think you were taking up too much spotlight. You were showing off your skills I'm saying I was worried that I would be stealing the spotlight if I did that and then also just Unilaterally stole Cara Yeah, it would have been a bit much for one person and I was like I appreciate you being conscious about how much time you are Basically in the what is it in the camera screen screen time there it is Yeah, I appreciate that you are conscious about it But I will say that you did a good job of making sure that other people had their chances as well Me and Joe I don't know if anybody has anybody think anything else they want to say right away But like I mean Joe kept just talking at length about what the best way to like I Kept going to Joe about crazy shit I wanted to do and just saying I don't know what your plans are But I want to like like with in Chester City I wanted to set the protectors up against the the spine of death and had have the protectors fight bloodstry to either get the protectors Killed or learn something about bloodstry that we didn't know already and I messaged Joe I'm like I want to do all this crazy shit and I have no idea what your plan is But this is my intention and then it didn't go that way and I was perfectly happy with it But like I just kept messaging him crazy shit like that and seeing what's stuck Honestly, I do apologize that I'm not as a d-chest to be able to To make way for that sort of stuff because I would have loved to that would have been great It's great dude like I knew that most of it wasn't going to work anyway That's why I messaged you because I didn't want to just like try to strong arm the campaign I messaged you on things. I wasn't sure you were excited.  It's coming for you now It's coming for you and it's gonna deal damage at the end of everyone's turn cuz it's like on its last leg Reason the Renee was so reckless in that fight. There is She was so reckless in that fight Kimmy hmm remember all the letters Yes Letters, would you like me to read them? Yes, please.  Let's pick one cuz I wrote one to each of the team members.   Oh, I'm so sorry Like pulling the picture down is like I don't know what I was expecting I It was just like when I when I heard you talking about that letter thing cuz I know exactly why you did it I know why you did it.   Oh, no, it's so good It's so it's such a good idea, but I will say if I could interrupt at the end at the end of that thought I will say That if we could I want to go just a little bit of structure because I do I do have a Limited amount of time today because I will be playing in the unexpected later So I only have two hours to spare I would like to start out with some of the more frequently asked general questions And then we can lead into the more questions that we've been thinking about or like seen in the chat or seen in the Comments under Twitter and YouTube Small recommendation so we don't all talk out for each other take turns Well, I was gonna ask if we could roll for initiative one more time Yeah, let me pull up the thing because this one I have it where I have player question DM question player question DM question So yeah, we can we can roll initiative to see who goes first and as far as the player question. So Let me open one more time real quick The last time guys Here's where I roll in that one hold on I will bring up a guy's Boop. All right turn order is up Oh Yeah, you got to put your tokens on the board No, this works, I would have just picked that random Chandra what Oh, no, this isn't a Q&A at all In this house Your final role as Nathaniel was a goddamn 20. We only roll 20s in this house There we go. Let me grab mine. The initiative was just never removed from last time I again This is not a Q&A Joe is brought us in for car for cars revenge. We are all going to die We've all grown to the size of the world math work I got a whole 12 nice Was already a big man Aaron I'm getting there. I didn't have any of this open. I believe in you You'll never beat me I just I just want to say like fucking He not called it in one the very first session by pulling a gun out on me and saying he didn't trust me All right, so this will be the order it will be Davi then Shelby then cami then Aaron So first let's do it question What was the inspiration for your characters starting with Davi? So I talked about this. I don't know when but when I make a character I usually either come up with I usually think of music first because I love music with a lot of like Important lyrics in this case. It was the death note musical. Yes. There is a musical for it But in addition, I like drawing from like historical characters as well as fictional So in addition to trying to draw from both L and light I didn't really like either of them more than the others. So I kind of tried to mix them to I also pulled a lot of my like Thief taker vibes from both Javier from lame is a rub and Jonathan Wilde the Jonathan Wilde was the biggest inspiration being honest His whole story is kind of similar to Nathaniel's in that he was basically a bounty hunter They called him the thief taker general of London but he was secretly Super corrupt and would steal people's shit only for those people to come to him and then he'd be like I'm on the case.  Nice.  So when I first came up with her I was very inspired by Witcher I had just played through which I just finished what you three because I was very late to that party and started the books And she was meant to I think before I mentioned before that I was originally going to try and play a blood hunter before I decided I didn't want to tie her to an Organization or anything. I just wanted Luna to be an independent sell sword But she softened up a lot more because I expected her to be a bit more cocky I mean Luna was definitely like, you know, she knew her strength, but she Wasn't as like I'm the strongest in the land. Like I thought she was going to be She's softened up a lot and she kind of I feel like I pulled a lot more of the stronger parts out of my personality Because she aggressively moms everybody and she's loud Very nice cammy what inspired Renee? if Nathaniel was Javier then my girl was a combination of Angiola and Oh God What is the other dude's name we fell in love? Oh God Marius Marius Marius Marius not Darius Marius But basically like think all the boys from Les Mets singing red blood of anger men Because when we were first proposed this whole campaign idea And it was like we got to come up with some characters I was like I want to play a bard and the dad was like well I was gonna play a bard but that's okay And I was like both and it was like both we can both play bars and then we went barred buddies like barred friends Do they have a relationship? Hold on and we like booked it over to another chat and started discussing we were like, okay? Okay, okay. Okay. How are they related like we gotta do this now? I can't confirm. This is exactly what happened I The Daniel was the brain then Renee was going to be like the mouth Like basically I thought of her as like the mouth for the Daniel of like if he ever didn't want to do anything like super directly Or if he didn't want to use his magic specifically, she would step in be like what's up everybody time to use my girlish charm like Chat saying Barty caught movie Barty yeah, she very much I My personality bled through into her when she started getting really flustered really fast I originally imagined her like far more suave like think the dance with Routak, but like all the time Think her personality Constantly smooth and suave and under control accidentally let the anxiety sleep out Well, I like the anxiety but this in the sense of like she's still sort of winging it like a lot of my characters tend to do I Have another barred character Danny Comparing the two Danny is a oh shoot. Okay. I can work with this. I can just wing it and Renee's like Oh, of course, this is happening. Okay.  What was the inspiration behind Enoch? I'd imagine it was a multitude of things mainly anime I mean the first idea that came to mind was Vashna stampede from the tri-gun series because I've always loved I always loved like space cowboy kind of things and While Vash is a much more Wholesome character who doesn't want to kill while Enoch is on the on the warpath at the start I also wanted to pull in a lot of ideas of You could definitely play a cowboy in this fantasy game and I also really love the idea of like outlaws and And like gentlemen outlaws and stuff like that While also like playing a character that was very intense Definitely like but also like still had a heart of gold and that was always the big thing It's just that I wanted to point into like Like especially when it came to like the concept of like flaws and stuff like that it's just like there are rules to follow that way if those rules are broken it can lead to altercation and I had a very simple through line and then in eventuality as he would grow throughout the campaign that would change but Yeah, like a big thing is just like Vashna stampede Spike Spiegel Ryuji from Persona 5 And God Another swim more God Geez, I know there's one more but like one of the big things is just like I This is by the way my first campaign that I've ever done as a player, you know start to completion and I've been running games for years and years and years. I've always loved the concept of like bringing in guns for For D&D and firearms and stuff like that because it you know It's not too it's not too much of a long shot that we have this magical fantasy world that you know these pieces of technology while still new can still exist and That's right. It's a fantasy. It can have yeah, it is advanced as you say it is not because it can't be Yeah, yeah, yeah, and so that's that's what I really enjoyed about About making this character. It's just like all the ideas of like outlaws and stuff like that But also still being a good person at their core and the thing that haunts them is like Eventually their actions coming to get them Yeah, but yeah, awesome So the next question I so I'm dividing these up into player then DM then player the next question I think I can answer is Generally the general question FAQ. What was the character creation process? So I told the players I said your level 3 and your character has a reputation already that already exists doing something Whatever it was I let them decide what it was But I told them you have done something to gain notice of the Viscount like the Viscount has been keeping tabs on you So and that is also kind of how I implemented their backstory into the world and have the world have it They may feel like they exist in the world because Characters will acknowledge the things that they've done and characters will exist as a result of things that they've done, you know So I feel like that's a nice tool and I highly recommend any DM using it You know using their reputation as a means for putting them in the campaign in the first place that way You know you can use that like more and recycle it and stuff.  I'm sorry. Could you repeat the question if the campaign was not time-gated what NPCs or side quests? Do you wish that you could have done? I? see, okay, I Think more things in Belkanis proper would have been interesting as far as like Side quests go. I think we did everything that we wanted to despite the time limit and as NPCs go there aren't a lot that I Think needed more fleshing out I think the net could have had a little bit more. I agree. I agree. I agree with that I think other than that I can't think of a single NPC where I'm like, yeah This person didn't get their time that they needed the only like so I have to default to like places Because we have all of the places that we've been to and out of the places that we've been to Belkanis despite being the name of the country that we're in Didn't get a whole lot of personality to it as much as Chester City your clove waited And that was just because the moment we started we left and then we were there just to end So if I had no time limit, then I would have done some cool stuff in Belkanis. Maybe be a witch taker for a sec Okay, okay. Yeah, that's fair enough and I agree I definitely have points in the campaign where I look back and I'm like I wish I had given that Place or person more things to do. Oh To just like to clarify. I think that you did perfectly well I don't think I think if you included more things to do or time or like or thing Yeah, if you included more things to do in Belkanis with the time we had it would have felt clunky You did the best that you could as far as where we win It's just if we had all the time in the world, I would have gone to the one place We didn't get much to do in yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, no, it's it's true It's such as the nature of an improv like live sort of game deal. It's like you It's different from making like a show or movie. Anyway Shelby what anything that you would have liked to spend more time on or with had there not been a time limit? Um Honestly, I think I would have liked to explore more of regalwood regalwood and more of their protector shenanigans in regalwood because that's that more came back during Chester City, and it was perfectly fine when it did Besides like our brief meeting when we had to go save mirth I don't know. I would have liked to know more about what they were doing in regalwood Just because we know they were extorting people But I would have liked to know like the extent or maybe Luna would have liked to know the extent if Certain things had not been happening at the time But really I think I mostly agree with Davi most more belch in his proper stuff But like you said, it's the nature of the beast live D&D is not the same thing as playing at the table There's a lot more you have to be like conscious of so I think you did the best of what you could I Definitely came out with a fulfilled story and various few questions and what I did have we're answering now So yeah, I think that it went pretty well I will I will have something to say about that time gate as well later on but Kami anything that you wish you would have gotten to do had you had it not been time gated If it hadn't been time gated I would have liked to connect more with the protectors in that making that connection between Some of those people being from Renee's old gang. I think would have been really interesting to like sort of delve into Because that sort of like happened near the end and sort and that gave that gave Renee a lot of questions We're not gonna lie, but um, I didn't really get to like touch on that. That's just a personal thing though And like Davi said Nanette would have been fun to to delve a little bit more into but I understood that we had we were on a time schedule So yeah Yeah, and this is this is good for me as well because this is feedback for me as a DM on what I can do better So I appreciate you guys being honest with everything else felt like really well-timed to me So and if we if there were more of that I feel like I would have been put too much in the spotlight No, it'd been like, uh, uh look over there in the corner someone else Like and lastly Aaron anything that you wish you would have gotten to do had there not been a time limit uh, I think The biggest thing for me would have been the church in Chester city like that that whole song and dance with like like people taking money to like Do things for like prayers and I'm all like Oh god, I'm about to pull a jesus christ up Because like in all reality it's just like from enox perspective prayer is free You know going to your your home church should be free, you know donations are useful definitely, but like From my perspective, I really wish I could have delved a little bit more into what that would have been like either corruption or You know, uh, you know kind of wrecking the established order because that seems like something I would have done uh But definitely it was just like I felt as enox very personally like disappointed that this entire establishment is basically taking people's money just so that way they can walk into their faith and I find that disgusting and it's almost like It's it's that level of televangelist that I personally as Aaron hate and I would like I I I would have just Delved deep into that, but unfortunately no time for it but I mean Like it doesn't bother me that much because at least in the end story there's conclusions to it and I really And I really enjoy that it's just like yeah that guy got fucked over good So I guess I can talk about my Thought process behind giving a time gate just to give some perspective this is not an excuse by the way because you know Some people may have criticisms as to giving it a time gate and making it a railroad and it is a railroad I do consider this campaign more of a railroad than a sandbox personally Yeah, and it is and there I don't think there's anything wrong with that However, my thought process for making it a time gate was because kind of more so this kind of trying to give the players a push and direction and always you know Giving them enough time to to do stuff but not do everything You know because I feel as though sometimes campaigns can slow down and games can slow down when the players Never want to move on and they want to do everything, right? That said there's nothing wrong with that either That's just my personal preference and my time gate was kind of a means to try and push them Towards making progress and having to make sacrifices with where they put their time And questing and to show that they can't solve every problem Now whether or not I did this well, I think is going to be up to your Everyone's own interpretation and I don't think there's any way any wrong way to look at it Even if you believe that I did it the complete wrong way and I could have easily done it better Um, but that is just the mindset that I'm in That said I do see ways that I could have done it better in the future without making a flat You have two weeks to do this just like or else. Um, I I do Think I have thought of new ways to make it urgent but not like Too urgent like urgent in the uncertainty Sense rather than urgent in like here's your flat time limit Uh, maybe like left like bread crumbs of like oh shit's going on like if we don't stop it soon Something's gonna happen. We don't know what but it's gonna happen. Yeah, and we don't know when yeah I I want to do we don't know what and we don't know when that kind of urgency I think that's the way to do it. How I'm how to do that. I don't know. I'll have to figure it out But uh, yeah Is Uh, all right, uh next question will be for me is what parts of necro hunt were the most difficult to plan slash develop basically just making just like all the the new the like sub plots and like character background stuff like trying to remember What strings are in the air and when to pull them and when to tie them up and like all that stuff because like Uh, it was easy when I was just thinking of one or two But then when there's like five or six, I'm like, oh fuck and like thank goodness for kate for helping me out with that But yeah, just just that and sometimes On the play the players can account for this as well that sometimes I just flat out forgot some things And then they're like wait, what happened with this? I was like, oh, shit I totally forgot that I mentioned that or I did that and basically I think that's just Uh, that's a thing that I got to work on and that was definitely the most difficult part Was just forgetting things whenever there's so many plates spinning in the air Uh yeah, um And plot holes, of course, you know with luna's sword and like the her dad's Statue and nannette like oh, what's she doing here? You know, where where is she going now and like all that stuff? Who is thirm? Why is he doing all this stuff? Yeah Yeah, basically spinning plates the usual thing dms run into Oh Next question frequently asked if you were to meet your characters, how do you imagine the interaction would go starting with davi?  Are you kidding me?  I made you I I am your father.  Oh, luna's intense. I don't think I could handle her intensity. I could barely handle playing her for four hours Uh, I don't know uh I feel like it would depend on what mood I found her in did I find did I meet her after A job or did I meet her while she's at a bar because there are two different Uh, I don't know.  She's pretty chill.  She's not gonna You know be super up in your face uh I don't know probably get yelled at a lot because my mom friends yell at me all the time So I I'm kind of what used to that All right, uh cammy if you were to meet renae, how do how does that interaction? Would you see it going down? karaoke, there'd be some karaoke And I'd love to see it too I can't eat renae, but if anything it'd be at like a karaoke bar, and then she'd be like, oh, I like her style And then it'd be like, oh, yeah, and then like if she was singing out to the harmony She'd be like, yeah, and then we started singing together like yeah, then that would be it It would be like a one-time thing never see each other again, but remember each other fondly And Aaron if you were to meet Enoch, how would that go down? Uh a few things first off. Oh, dude, you have a robot r Uh that our our major interactions, I would imagine is that We would sit there and talk for hours on end about Our lives like I like I would I would just listen to Enoch talk about his entire life Start to finish if like if he was like a true real person Uh That isn't from my imagination Um, but also I I feel like Like I would just try and like See what things he would end up confiding in in all eventuality and then Talk about a lot of Yeah, talk a lot about I would say religious points of view because me personally I'd I'd I have my own I I'm not going to get into that whole song and dance, but like I have my points of view I would imagine he would have his points of view. Uh, we would definitely show off each other's corgis. Definitely Uh, but like keep in mind curro was totally based off of you know Banjo because I really love corgis and the fact that as an artificer you could literally make a tiny creature Whatever you want it however you want it to look at and for flavor. It's just going to be this Yeah, tiny winged corgi that can fly That was really main idea for that, but Yeah, we would just do a lot of talking probably end up being friends in the end, but I imagine one of us would get pissed off at some point, but then we just get over it No, here's a question from good old tavern cat records And this is going to be a unique case where I take a question from the chat before it's time to take questions from chat Because we're not doing that yet, but tavern cat records i.e. the person who composed The majority of the soundtrack to balcony snicker hunt. Thank you Thank you And they have a question for me about the final battle How long did it take for you to figure out the concept about the final battle and how the mechanics would go So the concept of it was very easy because I already had it In mind because kara was always going to turn into an Rather chandrel was always going to turn into an undead dragon and in every version I have it that she siphoned too much. She couldn't handle it Or she would get resurrected and become a monstrosity because resurrection doesn't exist in this world except for in rare occasions But um Yeah, she was always going to be a dragon However, the one major difference in this battle compared to previous ones is minions because goddamn That is my biggest flaw as a dm is I keep forgetting about action economy and giving bosses just a singular boss to fight And players singular boss to fight and then they wreck it because they take four turns before the boss can even do One also legendary actions are a thing I keep forgetting exist and they can happen anytime um So basically taking into account legendary actions giving more than one target So uh older versions of the dragon didn't have segmented parts that the party had to attack There were no like Wraiths in the room to some inspectors like it happened here. There were much fewer guards Uh, it was mostly just chandrel old chandrel a.k.a. Donna Laszlo and thorn and that was kind of it But yeah, I'm trying to add in more stuff and that was the main new thing is segmented dragon and minions Can I ask a question go ahead Was his name always laszlo dungbite so laszlo was his old name But I thought that's silly. Let's call him blood stride But then my old my older players were just like uh laszlo is still funny though. You should keep it around I'm like, you know what? I will that's his real name now I appreciate this.  That was his old name dungbite was new though. I dungbite was improved Okay Actually, I also have another question for you joe go ahead because This would have been very interesting because at the time that I would be at the level for it If I had decided to bring igness into this campaign instead of moving him to the scales above uh How would you have handled the concept of like revivify because Ignis being a divine soul sorcerer having Like he would find a way to try and get diamonds and stuff like that for the revivify spell What would you Had done in that aspect if you had used revivify On the players I would have said that there would be temporary but drastic side effects that I would have found some way for the players to Uh, basically solve for NPCs Uh, drastic side effects that would stay forever I don't know.  Maybe black permanent black veins on a part of their body where revivify was cast Uh, maybe they lost their memory. Uh, just like all this stuff because, uh Bringing back the soul in the lustrous expanse is Hard incredibly hard and difficult and not common and you know as you saw in necker hunt Causes horrible things to happen Yeah, oh god Yeah That was and that's why I wanted to explore I can talk more about the exploration of necromancy because I find necromancy a fascinating subject Which is why I wanted to make base a whole campaign Uh around it, but the next actual question Which I can answer quickly is everyone wants to know what the heck does the stick of stickiness do? Yes, please tell me Oh my god What is the stick of stickiness the stick of stickiness is my favorite Homebrew item that I like to include in every campaign and every campaign it does something different and in this one Uh, I'm just gonna say it's gonna remain a mystery forever and up to interpretation But I will say I will say the origins of the stick the stick was from vertheim That's fake cat a dragon in it. You know that you know that you know the uh, you know that uh vine where it's like Hey, look at this umbrella. I got that's what the stick does I'm boycotting this I'm out of here But yeah, the reason I was here was to learn this question But yeah, like uh, the stick was from vertheim i.e. You know interdimensional item for you know Remember the guard was like this is interdimensional. It's from another dimension. Uh, And there were clues there are trees around vertheim that I would have taken into account if anyone decided to investigate them I would have said it has a very similar texture to the stick of stickiness And I ask how the hell I came into the hands of greek yak. Can we at least know that? Yeah I'm gonna say that is also open to interpretation i.e. I don't have an answer I don't have the real the less satisfying but truer answer is I don't have an answer for that You know what? I'm just gonna choose to believe that greek yak stumbled into vertheim and then stumbled out of it because that's See it's on brand This is like asking any this is like asking any indie music writer. Hey, what do your lyrics mean?   It made me rich. So maybe that's what it really did In the end it's a magical property was giving me mad bank. This sad my even my mom wouldn't tell me what it was Okay, next question Uh for the players, how did the campaign change your character? And how does it compare to what you were expecting them to end up? Where you were expecting them to end up character wise davi? Uh Right, so This is a little strange. I actually went back and rewatched the first session of necro hunt And I didn't even notice until rewatching that like my voice for an ethanol changed somewhere down the line Uh His personality didn't change, but I got a lot more like Interested in speaking Uh I think strangely enough I Originally kind of wanted to make him a complete recluse And be very bad at talking to people just at all And the his whole deal was that he was terrible at talking to anyone So he just immediately defaulted to charms is that he would never have to learn social skills uh And that kind of bled through like obviously he has like He's not the best at acting like a normal person, but then he just became a master manipulator constantly uh so Yeah, I think when I when I first envisioned him I wanted him to just suck at any Normal conversation that involved charisma checks unless they were explicitly Involving his charms. I don't even think persuasion was one of the things I had us good statin Like I don't think I I don't think I got really high in deception, but not per not persuasion. Yeah. Yeah. Very high in deception Yeah, all right. Yeah. All right. That was it. Anyway. Yeah all right, uh Shelby uh, how did your character change? How did the the uh Events of the campaign changed luna and how does that compare to how you what you were expecting?     I love you, but they were very much more competitive than uh Um in my head, but I really like that no it luna has like a bit more of a soft side when she was kind of You know luna's a hard ass and she's a hardened monster hunter So seeing her being able to turn around and be like no I just want to use someone as a pillow tonight and you're coming with me um Was like that Yeah, yeah, no or and like and just the fact that like they still had some competitive moments They still argue about their kill counts that never ends Uh, they will argue about that till the end of their lives.  I'm just saying it now But luna is the one who skinned it. So they they constantly go back and forth about that Which also a side note. I want to say thank you for You know giving me trust to run an npc that has an ongoing romance with yours And I find it, you know very and thank all of the players as well for trusting me to run Romance for your characters not only with an ongoing one But one that has ended and potentially new one with rené and a rocky run one with uh with enok as well I think that's very interesting that every like the three characters aside from Nathaniel all had like their own different experience involving romance And I appreciate you guys trusting me with with doing that because I know romance and dnd can be a rocky and messy thing to deal with Yeah, oh, it's something that I I I don't know.  You did we didn't go too far Nothing was pushed. Nothing was like grossly alluded to it was just it was really nice It was really nice. Yeah, just like just like a very fancy.  Why not? I I find it funny that luna did it before any of the bars So, you know, it's fine. Actually, there's actually a reason that renais very much like I made her so that she could flirt But I liked her whole idea that she always puts on a performance and like Her most treasured relationships are people who can see like immediately through that and know that something's wrong And that's one of like a universal thing with a lot of my characters in that They put on Whatever performance they need to specifically whether or not that is to Broodingly go away and like not talk to anybody like iliana or like danie and a little like Renee They very much are like, haha lmao. Look at me. Nothing's wrong. And they like laugh it off So what you're saying is team nanette not team raw tack Raw tack was a very fun time Nanette is the one who immediately sees through all of that and so Renee very much appreciates that because it feels honest Yeah, our attack is a fun drink. The net is for life. Anyway, the net is like the one you have at the end of your day Yeah, sorry about that tangent. Anyway, yes How will the character change your character and how does it compare to what you were expecting cammy with uh, renais renais ending um To me feels very bittersweet in that, um She had this She basically was wearing rose-tinted glasses For a majority of her time. She didn't mind living in the gray area. She didn't mind any of that because she believed in what she was doing was right um, basically she had been roped into Nathaniel shenanigans and Only through the end of that campaign particularly at the very end. She kind of realized. Oh shit I've been lying to myself Like I I just did this entire thing To try and stop necromancers who I now find aren't that bad and the one person who I've been confiding in a lot Did not confide in me I got to rethink what I'm doing Um, and so that's why initially she wasn't even thinking about going back to the witch takers Damn that sounds world shattering Nathaniel. Yeah until Nathaniel said like I need someone to take over renais And she's like, uh And that's why she hesitated for a second because she's like do I really want to go back? Is that what I want to do with my life? Like I don't know Especially because like after seeing that I was like, well, what are the witch takers now like what? What is this thing that I built my life around? um so Because she ends up taking up the mantle again. I think Initially, I was just gonna have her end up being like the one of the people who at the end like went along with everybody going Ha ha. Yeah drinks party. We did it. We're it's over, but she ended up being very existential at the end going Oh, no So Yeah, she had a very to me like a bittersweet feeling at the end She did end up growing immature and by the end, but it definitely like not seeing it In the end of that session it took some time for her to recover You think it hardened her I think it hardened her a lot and I think it made her Realize that she can't like play everything off Or she can't like look away from everything just because Her goals are being met. She needs to be more aware of what's going on around her Wonderful. Well, maybe not wonderful, but very interesting Lastly, uh, erin how did this campaign change your character and how does it compare to what you were expecting? I would say One of the big things is that there is a great deal that inoc had that was self loathing Uh, mainly because like like he obviously feared the other self in a lot of ways And when he started it's just like i'm being put together in a group where In most circumstances, he never really needed a group. It was just always him by himself doing things that he would always do and That's the reason why like it it was very tough for him to like even get used to you know, meeting a bunch of new people Like obviously i've known you guys for you know months in advance before this campaign But the big problem that came with me is just like What if What if this this person who who obviously has a lot of these problems? Just like gets dropped into a group because of his reputation Why is he so removed out of his element? And Oh, no, that's fine. Uh, but You know, that's why he he was a bit of a bit of a shithead. Like he doesn't know how to talk to people He doesn't know how to deal with people. He's just he's just a doctor and so Going from like Doing things in and doing things along the border and then going to be a doctor and then having to do this whole mission with a whole bunch of people for a particular reason is different and Having people see the worst part of him is Was like the biggest fear That i can emulate and then As he grew And he began to understand, you know, not just, you know, his perception of things but also like other people's plights and Uh and people's perceptions and then the big breaking point being was mirth Uh mirth obviously like stepping into inox life and juliana Changing everything he possibly knew like he had to Consider that he needed to lie about mirth, but he really cared about mirth because like he sees Somebody not just only with an inventive mind, but somebody who's just like him who a lot of people end up not believing in him in a lot of aspects and It was compounded by mirth leaving with no answers and that Hurt so much it began to make him question and become even more volatile to Uh thamilias in the end and then towards the end of the campaign where he's lightened up significantly And he's agreeing with party members. He's working with nathaniel. He's getting used to everybody and you know, he he's finally like free of He's finally free of thamilias and a lot of aspects and that's the reason why you know In the campaign when he mentioned like either I could have let that drown me or I could See this as the fresh new start that I want to have and move forward on and apologize with which which was really important and Especially for his hand where he's allowed to go do all the things he wasn't yet allowed to do because somebody else was telling him to live his life you know I think that that's how I imagine going from a very rough person to somebody who is definitely softened up over over the that time Awesome Uh, the next question for dm Is kind of a general one like it was mostly directed at Enoch But I think it applies to a majority of the players about how did I go about Implementing the different parts of their backstory specifically like things like thamilias or the raven queen or Luke and lancell and things like that and basically my philosophy is I really like introspection um and making the characters Check on their values and see you know Do you still hold these values when confronted with them either in a personified manner or a supernatural manner or just flat out Asked by a character, you know, and that's what I tried to do with Enoch Of like I knew that erin wanted him to be a good character But I wanted him to look at okay Here are other characters that are doing what your character is doing Would you consider it good then, you know, basically seeing a personification of that Here's the extreme version of that why thamilias just leaving his body and Possessing someone else and going to do the the logical extreme Same thing with luna. I wanted her to confront the possibility that maybe all of her actions might not have been her own And maybe she was influenced and then you know if uh and like her belief about stopping and and Going to stop and attack and destroy these people who have basically Caused her a lot of pain, you know, like how does she feel about that after seeing what necromancers are luna being Basically betrayed and traumatized by this Awful person who did awful things in the past and they are awful him trying to redeem himself does not Luke trying to redeem himself does not change the fact that the things renae rather renae Her dad Trying to redeem himself does not change the fact that what he did was awful and wrong But how does she confront this person who did those awful wrong things trying to do better? You know, how does she react to that and I like putting characters in those scenarios and what I really also like I'm going to go on another tangent is those three characters Have a strong attachment to the past compared to nathaniel who mostly doesn't care about the past and is mostly looking towards the future Now although the three characters are looking towards the future But it's all kind of rooted in the past nathaniel's the only one who's like No, I'd actually prefer if the past stayed in the past, you know, and I find that a very interesting parallel and kind of Contrast between nathaniel and the rest of the characters how they all have something rooted in the past Uh, all kind of daddy issues in a way Sorry, my computer died, but i'm back. Oh, okay. Well, you missed all of that. Uh, it's okay Watch through the vod, but um, I'll watch through the vod. It's fine. Yeah. Um Yeah, uh, let's see Uh Unfortunately, I don't have many more questions that were frequently asked for the players So if you wouldn't mind just me just shotgunning going through the last few that are involving dm stuff Oh, yeah, sure. So, uh questions about what happened to cara and the rest of the characters And what is uh balkanus's future? I'm leaving that up to interpretation. I gave kind of little bits and hints of that Um, I would say cara would most likely Be more open to diplomacy with, uh balkanus considering that, uh, they're you know, this entire conspiracy with her sister Has been on earth and most of her gripes with balkanus were personal and familial Involving her sister but now that you know the the other two meharians are out of the picture I would I would say that she's most likely More okay with them trying to be diplomatic Uh, but otherwise everything I feel is though you can come to your own conclusions as to what the future of balkanus will be Whatever it is. I will say that its change will be slow with the kingdom Can I ask one or for one piece of confirmation? Just because it didn't seem like it was ambiguous, but it also like is easy to misinterpret Oh, yeah, go ahead When we saw abigale on the rooftop that wasn't literally abigale. That was like her spirit as it was passing on, correct? Uh, if it was not obviously ambiguous, then I'm going to say it here that that is an ambiguous ending that you can draw your own conclusions to Understood Okay Next one is there's a sequel. I'm kidding. Yeah, right Uh, next one is what are my plans for the lustre sixpence or dnd streams in general in the future I do want to build more on the lustre sixpence. Um, it's proving very daunting and overwhelming to try and think Okay Now this history of this one kingdom exists on this massive continent now And I got to think about how that affects the other kingdoms or how it doesn't and why and all that stuff I do want to build upon the lustre sixpence, but I want to start small and uh, separated So I don't want things to have to tie in too much Not only for the players to not have to know all that much about balconies but also for Myself in terms of writing And I do plan on doing more dnd streams in the future. I think this dipping my toe into dnd streams has definitely uh been Made it a lot more accessible to me and made me like feel that it's not all that scary anymore Um, but yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna do things. I think this is the the maximum Length that I would want to do though. I don't do long sprawling campaigns and I can't let alone ones that are streamed so um Yeah, uh, I I think I want to keep it about this small Maybe a few sessions longer, but no more than 30. I like this size Um, and I look forward to more of those in the future and I look forward to Sharing more about the lustre sixpence in the future as well Yeah, and I hope you guys look forward to that and uh, yeah, those are the frequently asked general questions and I think we can move on To picking questions from the chat any things that peak your interest, uh any of the players um Okay, and see yeah, so chat if you have any particular questions For the players or me Oh Is our favorite fight. Okay. We'll go on. Okay. Well, let's do all right favorite fight then Uh, we'll go down the list starting with daddy. I see that one Uh favorite fight, um I will say despite the fact that this wasn't like One of the times that Nathaniel just stepped in and cleared house I really loved as we were trying to get into vertheim all the thorns showing up all of the NPCs arriving To help us because it very much felt like the the reward that we got For interacting with these NPCs like we had made relationships with these people and those relationships had been positive to the point that they were willing to put their lives on the line just for us to go Get us get ourselves into even more danger Uh and the the moment with lancel especially so that's that's a very personal connection Where he looks back and he says it's like you said witch taker. I inherit your enemies Beautiful everything about that entire interaction was fantastic. Oh, thanks. I'm happy about that And I've definitely been influenced by 14 to do that because 14 does that all the time and I'm like I'm gonna steal it Um I considering I just got to a certain part in 14.  So if you see a question that you like write it down so you don't forget. Um, next shelby What was your favorite fight? Oh, uh, I have to say I think From luna's purse like from luna as a character development perspective The cara maharian fight because that was the Only fight in the entirety of belcon is necker hunt where I only made one attack And it was to the bone goal and to keep it from charging someone. I did not I actively was throwing my weapons on the ground Um, and I think that's the first time I've played luna not trying to get up into somebody's face and wreck their house Um, I thought it was a really cool moment for luna's development and how she saw necromancy Especially seeing that she was it was a fucking priest of the raven queen in front of her right now mm-hmm So, uh that one and the mechanic of that one was really cool. I love that we could talk our way out I love alternative routes to fighting in d&d um And that one it felt so rewarding when we finally got her to listen to us and it was so tense And you did such a good job with that entire scene of Having her you know hurt her you dare speech like it that you are not welcome here gave me chills It was so good. Oh, i'm glad Uh cammy favorite fight Um, that one was also one of my favorites. Uh, what are your reasons? Um, no, no, no, you're fine. Listen. I I shake your hand. I agree with you. Yeah Um, absolutely. That was that was one of my all-time favorites and I guess the other one Um would be The fight with blood stride at the end Because it ended up being not what we were supposed to do in the sense of we were trying like we were Tricked so to say in that one moment of we got to kill blood stride But it turned out we didn't have to kill blood stride turned out We had to get rid of all the other stuff first Um, and then we had to like reprioritize our brains and it like got down to the wire Like that was great. Um They're coming in clutch the thing you're coming in clutch Yeah And but yeah, oh, sorry. No, no, no you finish. Um, just a little thing on the other fight. Um With cara, I liked that renae got to use her thoughts to actually get into cara's mind and like talk talk her down As well as being right up in her face. I like that renae being the squishy bean Was getting up in people's faces I was like good Hated me so much anxiety and erin. Well, you know how I feel all the time when I play with you Erin, what was your favorite fight? Oh This is not a cop out to me. I think the final fight was the best friggin fight because Room to fly everyone had a strategy everyone was trying to Everyone was trying to deal with everything in their own way and then like right at the moment where it's just like It's not even like beating on the giant dragon.  I grabbed it immediately That's what i'm so happy about that i'm proud of you guys is because that fight was basically bloodstribe part two I wanted to see okay, i'm just learned.  I'm gonna have some wraith summon You know ads essentially and i'm gonna see if you have are going to Execute your your strategy that you finally came to towards the end of that fight Except sooner and you did and i'm very proud of you for that Yeah, I I also love the moment of saying don't let up for a second I will That's how I always will see like a big end fight.  Just keep going I love little stuff like that. Yeah, because like the bloodstribe fight you guys almost lost. You were very close. Yeah Oh, it was so close but that fight was so good That's honestly very very good fight somebody's question was uh For davi, what does mantle of inspiration do? I don't know man. It's gonna be a mystery forever Yeah, that that is left to your interpretation. I I got one question. Does enox arm have any modification or is planned? uh I originally wanted to put one of those uh wrist gun builds because For the the gunslinger you get like a choice of what guns you want to do And there's one that's small enough to like put on your wrist I would have just put that in the hand and like pop that out whenever it's like The last possible second my last resort my sneak attack But that was Like never got around to it Someone asked me if I would make a balcony's neck or hunt campaign book and I would love to do that I just know that it takes a lot of time So if I ever did I would have to set aside all videos and streams to work on it for well Not all of them, but definitely slow them down to work on it and that me making this campaign was kind of my Kind of foot in the door to the possibility of that because me I knew that if I ran this campaign publicly I would never Really be able to run it for anyone again unless they just never watched any d&d or or anything like that because it's out there now People know what happens Um, yeah, I feel like you could make a pretty cool.  I could do that. Yeah, just like a setting Yeah, that could be yeah, or it's just a bunch of mini adventures that you write into the setting I think you're gonna do that. You're gonna need to write a few more uh adventures Streams possibly it would be a lustrous expanse Lustrous expansion. Yeah, look at that. See I already got the name I already got the name I'd imagine because like all of us are are relatively good writers We I would imagine that we would all have a good amount of input for how things would be Not a writer Anubis asked, uh, what are some NPCs you wanted to spend more time with I think we answered that earlier With like if we didn't have a time limit um But I guess uh If we should go like quickly more specifically one NPC that you wish you spent more time with, uh, dabby Uh, uh Sorry, I was in the middle of answering a question in the chat. Um Uh, one NPC that I wish I spent more time with I think I answered this already kind of yeah, we did kind of I even though like That I personally wish my character could have spent more time with I mean any more amount of time with lancel would have been good Uh, and then that would have been good like overall for the story. I think that would have been a better choice but if you're like asking Who I could interact with it would be lancel because karo was a perfect person to bounce off of but we had plenty of time to do that, uh lancel I Think I talked to him as much as what was necessary for the story But I also don't have anybody else to pick because I think that about all of the characters I interact with If I can say one thing about lancel because people always ask it and I just it's a really quick question to answer Uh, lancel is adopted Uh, nathaniel did not fuck a dragon. He just adopted a kid I don't think nathaniel fucks like nathaniel does not seem like a character He strikes me as like the most like ace man. I think I've ever met Yeah, he's absolutely aro ace. He does not like There was a point where I was considering giving him a small story about how and I did like I wrote it out as A potential thing if somebody ever asked about relationships uh Basically the story would have been like there was one time where some guy When that he was really young Like got infactuated with him But then nathaniel took him off on a like on a mission not back before he was a witch taker and The other guy saw like the result of a gruesome bloody murder got freaked out also not just by the murder But by nathaniel's complete ambivalence towards it And just fucked off and that would have been like the closest thing nathaniel ever got to a relationship And he truly is not bothered by that. Yeah I I think there's actually a scene whenever you uh nathaniel was in the very fancy hotel like tavern and like there was one kind of uh, let's say servicemen That like winked at him and then nathaniel was like gross and then just like walked away I don't remember if that sounds like something that he would have said, yeah Yeah, uh, anyway shelby one, uh, maybe an npc that you would have liked more time with Um Creighton creighton are the tea boy.  No, no, no, no, no The tea boy the one that uh, sage animal sent me to to uh her apprentice. Yes. Yes He was made kind of almost specifically for like Luna but like more more so the party just to Kind of talk about like what is the nature of like living for yourself versus doing the greater good Well, because that creighton hat did he did make luna question that and that's like what ultimately made luna be like You know, you're right. Actually, you should live for yourself. You should do what you find happy What you find makes you happy and if that's setting tea then i'd like to buy some tea from you Um, I don't know. I thought that that interaction it was so small, but it was so meaningful to me as like a player I would have loved to see more Yeah, and I want to clear one thing up that I don't think I explained it very well as to why he would decline like Luna asking for help. It's because he hasn't you know, he I probably Could have done a better job explaining this But he had an oath that he would not help anyone unless he just felt like it Because if he does help someone who is in need, well, then okay Then he's gonna have to help the next person and the next person and the next person I think that was perfectly well articulated. I kind of I figured out why I understood exactly why he was like Um, no, I can't do this. I like I it was a principle. It was it wasn't like he was incapable I totally understood it and luna understood. It's why she didn't press right Yeah, I like making those questions Uh in the form of npcs and quests you're doing you're really good at that. I won't say it because I don't want anything spoiled in future stuff but the One interaction we had in our test campaign At the very end I've noticed that you like to challenge our morality a lot and it was interesting seeing how everybody how differently we all interacted with it Yeah, yeah Kami a character you would have liked more time was um This is gonna sound random um No, actually, you know, I think that was actually really well put together I see on the cake. I actually would have loved to have more interaction with the dad Like near the end.  It was just like I am done holding on to My grief for you Like I I'm done holding on to this pain that you caused me. I don't want to feel it anymore I already have so much other stuff that now is like prioritizing above that so you are no longer my problem Yeah, she's letting go of the past interesting Yeah, yeah Uh, erin, I think I have a feeling which character you would like to spend more time with Definitely, uh, Juliana Juliana. Yeah, Juliana was very fun to play I I I just Because like in my brain like Like especially from enox perception There is There is that bit where it's just like enox is so Like It's so like unable to comprehend his own existence in a certain light Like it's weird to say it that way Um, he has been controlled and told what to do for the longest fucking time And that has been a persistent problem And now that that isn't the case especially with like juliana who is just like She's taken hold of her destiny and he wants to understand that whole aspect And that's why one of the big things that the reason why he loves her is just like He he likes that in in somebody's Uh purview is just like there isn't a question on on what they have decided for themselves and Enox wants to know what that's really about and how to live like that and now he does And now he gets to spend time You know with that person to connect those dots And eventually come to the conclusion that enox Will eventually like will eventually Settle into understanding his own person Uh, I'll I'll be at half of his life was basically robbed To do things that were never Really up to him in that way But he gets to spend the rest of his Extended life being an awesomer Just discovering himself. That's good. Yeah Kami shelby were there any questions that you may have noticed that might have passed by that you thought might be Honestly the chat's moving too fast. Yeah I know I saw I caught one Oh, you caught one. I caught one. Uh to everyone but shelby. Sorry.   We got a priest. Let's go Am I the priest? You know what verney would have done her gift to you You'd be like, oh, yeah, it's not a big thing. Just like we're gonna meet up at the woods at this time and verney would be like Bed and go put up like all the streamers and like a little archway Like make sure that everything was set up all nice and pretty that would be her gift because it's like Nah, ain't no way you having a simple wedding while I'm around like Be it wouldn't be like a lot of extra stuff because she knows that like that would probably freak them both out I think renae gets luna's style.  This is sweet. I need to draw this now. We're making this all about we're making this all about shelby Because You'll get luna So at this point in the story, Nathaniel Would most likely be very busy with what he's trying to accomplish Uh, so he might not be able to make an appearance But if he isn't he still would make sure that a gift was sent to you and it would be a nice little present with a yellow like A bow tie And inside is a rock Underneath our two drawn-on eyes Look, you're making a family now your rock can have a family too. Oh my god. Yes.  I love that for scorpio. He would have gotten gauze You're gonna need it after tonight Oh, oh, jeez everybody thinks litter and scorpio are way more intense than they are They still are like are fighting but I don't see them as that way. I'd see them. They're more cuddly like Yeah, well, no, it's only canon. They I'm just saying this now guys They only had sex once during the campaign every other time they were just cuddling and enjoying being in each other's company Luna's a huge Luna's like a huge like snuggle bug. All right. She just once like Honestly, that makes a lot of sense. You would spend you know spending all day fighting monsters and getting sweaty You just want to lay down. You don't want to like wrestle another monster in bed I mean when you live in the cold the best thing you can do is snuggle Yeah, no, like seriously, you've seen the environment. They were yeah, that's true. They live in the mountains. Oh, I forget about that Oh, what would what would Enoch get luna and scorpio? Oh, what wouldn't he get? It's a question what he would have what he can't afford I would imagine Well, first off a lot of things he would have done is Immediately handmade so he would have started He would have started planning on like getting like Scorpio and Luna like a brooch and and uh and a little Some like some jewelry that would have gone well with the outfits that they were going to choose for the wedding So that would have been gift one gift two was obviously to hopefully arrive as the priest Uh and like do the whole song and dance Uh excluding erithas being You know being that whole aspect but more just like I feel like they would just have someone that can cast ceremony Just like out of mechanic terms just have somebody who has the spell ceremony because neither luna or scorpio are super religious people I feel like there's would be a celebration of union rather than A god brought us together. It's like no, that's just a fucking. I'm marrying this man. Let's get drunk I've learned ceremony Uh, I think ceremony is a cleric So, yes bard can learn every spell. Yes. Oh my god super nade could actually officiate the wedding Yeah, like I like I said like Excluded all the gall. Oh, dammit. No, no, no magical secrets magical secrets allows a bard to know any spell A bard can learn literally any spell in the game Hey, once they hit level 10, that's the gift Renee will officiate your wedding She just sets everything up. She's your maid of honor.   They're gonna have to learn as well Oh, no, luna's sons are two little forces of nature. That's just a thing. Oh, yeah. No, he would have uh, He would have uh created small little magical toys as well I'm gonna piggyback off of this. Would luna invite mirth? Luna, yeah, of course mirth would absolutely mirth would absolutely help enok. I think Oh Luna would have sent an invitation probably out to kara if if kara would have attended not saying that she would have but An invitation would have found its way into clove way purely because kara was pivotal and changing a very Important mirth like a very hard. I think mirth would attend kara. I don't think I don't know It's more like a it's a gesture Hey, hey, I hope you're okay It would have probably come with like a letter of wishing her well and also hey, I'm getting married And if you'd like to come well this you know that would that would be good because kara's the the exact kind of person That would be like, oh, you know, whatever comes to visit just because they want to hang out It always has to be oh kara I need to help with this necromancy of this magic and now she can't say that to you because you invited her to your wedding Yeah, kara would say that once and rene would visit literally like once a month to get drunk Like that would be the deal if immediately she's like, oh, you just want something out of me every day I maybe would be like No, I do not I brought you wine, bitch Can I throw out just a small little a small little idea for the children that So like they're being raised by lune and scorpio. You'd imagine them to be grifty warriors But what if they both turned out to be like very like soft healers because their parents keep getting I'm working on the portraits of them now to probably be done by this weekend Weekends, but I actually have where both of her kids went Both um, one of her sons went on to continue in the ravens calling Um, I was just fucking as reckless as his parents And one of them actually kind of became more of an inquisitive robe type and me and kami have worked out They joined the witch takers. Oh So he basically gets Leo rene's win wing primarily because it's like Shit like looking at the little resvan. They're like, oh, uh rene you probably need to see this. You're like picks it up No, this one's coming under my like this one is immediately under my hand. Like they're not leaving my site Like the under his person's like why is she just because I know their mother and they would kill me if anything happened to them Damn right, I would not really but because it's you one thing I want to say before it slips my mind I will unfortunately just getting this out right now. Uh, so I don't disappoint someone People in the future. I will say that in the future I think I will be retconning at least the names and the bullet points of philosophy around the different religions and pantheons In belganis just to be independent from dnd I will use dnd monsters and creatures and stuff like that But as far as you know things like erithas and stuff like that I don't know them well enough to feel like I And also just like the lustrous expanse is a is an original setting So I kind of want to come up with like original pantheons that I know You know have more a little bit more control over and can control how the world works in that sense So I do apologize to erin and shelby and anyone who was invested In like raven queen and erithas stuff that I will adjust them slightly to better suit the setting and be more original You know, it's funny because your interpretation of the raven queen is actually really different from the interpretation. I always knew So I liked it because like one of the things about the raven queen in I think I think she's a pheron And then got swiped up by like snatched up by matt mercer for more lore She uh, she originally she was like an elf that like wandered into the shadow Like that was from the shadow fell and she became like the fucking ruler of it No one's ever seen her face I really like the the way that you put her that she wanted to she wanted to develop and empathize with the humans That she was shepherding rather than she's just an um like an omnipresent force and she's just always there and her um Her only thing is all things must die I like that she had like loopholes about necromancy and she could see where the there was good uses And in as long as souls were not being attempted to be taken from her shepherd from her flock It's I liked that I think that you did a really good job with that and honestly just a name change I feel like you could present that as your own without Um any conflict Yeah, it reminds me of that one poem and I don't remember who wrote it and it's like On the tip of my tongue of who the author is but it's like that poem of because they could not stop for death He kindly stopped for me But it's like she's just kind of she's she's there to guide you where you got to go next She's not there to to give you any ill will she's not there to like just be there She's kind of like hey, buddy like I do Tales of three brothers part the vibes from Harry Potter. Yeah I as someone that had uh used the gods dramatically in their last campaign Uh Like I fully understand In like wanting to make sure that it it's more antiquated with you know your homebrew world I did the same thing with the Raven Queen in my campaign where it's just like I took a lot of the main notes of the Raven Queen But instead of it being somebody that had Ascended to godhood. This was This was already somebody that had the potential to be a god and was A god along with all the other gods rising to their uh to their posts So like definitely changing those aspects is really good for any campaign It's just like really setting it into its own world. Yeah, I think I want to yeah I want I think my personal image of what I want gods to be in the lustrous expanses I want to keep them very mysterious. I don't I want to have a few I maybe like one or two that have ascended, but I want them to be very, you know, they're not mortals they're on a different plane of existence and Are maybe curious about the mortals or maybe they don't think about the mortals Maybe the mortals are not of none of their concern, you know, like I want them to be Godly and like have their own agenda sometimes Maybe they don't even show up to the mortals that call them, you know, I want them to be kind of that and uh Yeah, someone's asking what will Cara's wedding look like Cara's already married She already has a spouse and if she wasn't you know, she would not invite anyone from balconies to to attend I will let you know now Cara seems to me like the type that would probably go I don't know. She's she seems like just because she's so reserved. I Don't think she would have maybe this is just me speculating. She doesn't seem like the type that would have had a really A wedding it feels like she would have like had a private ceremony with Jack Maybe She seems like such a she seems like such like a private person And she something like that is like a really sweet and intimate thing between a couple and she it seems like that Would be something she just want between her. Oh my god I gotta show I gotta show you guys the different comics that Kate drew of Jacqueline and Cara because Jacqueline's very much like Like Jacqueline's very much like the the like sweet But also kind of demanding of Cara and Cara is like all big and nasty and scary But Jacqueline's the only one that can like scare her. It's like you better know You better not make the carpets dirty and and Cara's like yes dear Yeah Comic where like she was hanging like the hangers onto her bone arm. Yeah, I think I remember seeing Kate post that on twitter All right, it's like the the grand total difference of being you know, uh pastel and gothic pastel Yeah, yeah, it's like the flower versus the skull is their relationship. Yeah. Yeah You know, what was that really cheesy line?  We make a rose Oh I stole that from midnight gospel Oh Oh god, that's a that's a show Oh, I love that show so much. I I I remember that last episode so much it made it broke I can't watch it. I can't watch it a second time. It got me calling my own mom Uh Before I forget while I'm on the topic of sharing images I'm currently scrolling to try and find the ones that Kate shared with me But in the meantime, uh cammy, would you mind if I shared the thing that you made? And then I will share the thing that davi that you have signed as well if that's okay I'm sorry. What what is happening? Yeah, let's see. So cammy drew this as a sort of epilogue For uh, let me try and find it. Where is it? Where did I save it? Gosh, where is it ding? Where is it? What is it? You can if you would like you can give your thoughts on it cammy while I'm trying to find it Um, well since we did say that renais was taken up the witch takers Um, initially she would wear like she put on the yellow coat once and then go absolutely not Like No chance at hell Not doing that idea that you just put it on once you both looked at each other dot dot dot at the same time No, yeah, both of them immediately like uh, no, this is not the color. So she wouldn't actually got it. Um Died to the purple color and then also glitterified it probably much to Nathaniel's horror Uh, there we go. There it is. You can see it on screen right now. This is ver big. There it is drawn by cammy There she is the witch taker Also, can I just point out the cammy lined and colored that in like the hour and a half? We've been live I already had it sketched still still you lined and colored that in an hour almost two hours I thought I drew fast Bruce the lined with the with the with the pencil tool with the darker pencil tool and then I just colored I again This just not changed that that was very fast Take my compliment dammit. All right, and uh davi. This is the thing that you have uh in the works. Yeah, you're okay with sure Yes, all right.  That is that warms my heart a lot It's like wow you like it that much Well, oh Sorry, I just want to say you you were talking about absolution absolution being broken I I can't draw for anything The person who did draw it Drew like all of the stuff on the first table first and then the last session happened And I had to message them and be like hey you have to break the sword Yeah, I'm sorry. That was like a spur of the moment thing and I saw people were like really confused afterwards But yeah absolution is broken guys. Luna snapped it. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. I just had to message them and be like Hey that sword. Can you break it for me? Break it in half I'm sorry Anyway, sorry, I'm glad I you didn't use the other thing that I told you what's gonna be recognizable I kept the I kept the earrings. I just put a scarf there as well. So that would be more recognizable Yeah, I know what I'm saying is like when you asked me the question originally you were like What is your most noticeable trait and I was like, can I say her eyes? Yeah, I saw that I'm like, I'm not putting your eyes on this table Oh, yeah, here's the one that I found.  I love it Oh, Kara just had the best tired lesbian energy and I was so here for it. Every moment she was on screen I was like, yes, I love her. We saw her coming up the path and she was like go away children And then she raced their cat anyway. I was like, I like this chick. I don't want to fight her Yeah, that all of Kate's art has been fantastic this entire Like I've linked I've linked her Twitter in the chat if anyone wishes to give her a lot of love which she deserves All of the artists have been fantastic this entire campaign like NPC art.

I don't do a lot of singing Uh, but one of the big things that I I wanted to mention was like talking about Oh, look at that. Yeah, there it is. That's uh, The final long rest that callie drew forever for everyone It's so beautiful because she's the one that drew the official portraits for all of our characters Somehow it just feels canonical. Yeah I feel bad for any artist that has to draw inox arm Oh god, this is so cute I I still love the concept of like inoc could just take off his arm and throw it at somebody I Challenge you to a duel and instead of smacking them. You just look like And smack them with the hand I made a disarming joke. Yeah, it's just it's just that scene from toy story where Woody's like buzz. Give me an R.
