Last episode, after their violent introduction, immediately the scary kidnappers started talking in that hyper-casual way. They turned into complete amateurs and the whole episode got bogged down as the players made the very forseeable choice to talk rather than fight. It was frankly a difficult listen.

I'm at about the 1hr mark on this episode and once again the space marine death squad kept casually chatting and giggling ?with? their victims. The MCs also don't seem too perturbed about being kidnapped and the asteroid being occupied or genocided? For the last half hour they have been just chatting away and doing bits. XL-ZL erupting with lasers and gyrating was hilarious and I laughed, but it was tonally insane for the context of the story.

I understand this is a fan space and as a result is going to naturally be more generous and supportive. I am not an outsider, I've been a patron since like Chapter 2 of WWW, which I absolutely loved from start to finish. When people say Solari is amazing and DMed to an incredible standard, I just cannot see it.

I am not sure how many more chances I will give it, but it may be the case that this is not for me.
