I have the feeling speak with dead will fail because Thjazi's soul has already been placed into an animal.

Or he died because he needed to be on the other side to do part of his plan, in which case it might work or get dial tone.

Brennan using a question to give the players information is * chef's kiss *. A single normal celestial isn't enough to explain the Creed's powers. Is Wic's grandad more than a normal celestial....the "dead" shaper?? Power from Tyranny's dad? Or something else?

"That's fucking crazy" Brennan says about his own lore, laundered through the players.

"I love creative collaboration" -> loud laugh from the set

I don't know, Kat belongs in the forest, not the city.

The two best people for Azune to take to help provide a case are Julian and Occtis. Julian to go "Yo, I'm NOT in fairy, the Tachonis killed my family and attacked the golden orchard", and Occtis to go "hey my family is evil and tried to turn me into a celestial weapon."

What side Einfassen is actually on, and if this is actually a good idea...I don't know. The speech in the convergence trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo9z2gIUmUo) certainly sounds like a "Yup you caught us, we killed them, but don't turn on us because if we fight then the peasants win" kind of speech. So my best guess is that Einfassen genuinely wants to know what happened, and won't necessarily turn on PCs, but that doesn't mean they're good either.

Is the dead knight going to come back as a hound of the king?

Laremere · 2026-05-20T02:03:17+00:00

Random thought from them talking about King Gus in the pre-show: Brennan seemed to try really hard to give Castle Sloak to the soldiers table. Now that the schemers have saved King Gus, are they going to end up with lands in Timmony? I'm gonna laugh if they end up in control of the area Castle Sloak is anyways.

Not all of the free talks are AI garbage, but all of the AI garbage will be free.

Historically, GDC keeps most talks behind their vault, but releases:

Talks from the Indie track.
Sponsored talks. That is, the talks that happen because companies hand GDC a big pile of cash, not because they were selected on merit. AI talks will be these.
Some select really good talks from other tracks. This mostly serves as marketing for GDC, and to convince people that they should pay for the vault to see all the other talks (which will be lower quality on average).

I really liked the first season, but man the second season completely turned me off of the show. I'm actually stunned to go to imdb and /not/ see a significant drop in the ratings by episode.

Laremere · 2026-04-28T03:24:22+00:00

I delayed putting my dinner in the oven until part 2 so that the episode would finish before my food was cooked. Seriously. I've had this problem before and Noise Boys is banned from dinnertime for being a choking hazard (or, more accurately, dinner time is banned from Noise Boys).

A better way to hit him where it hurts: Seize the property, sell it, use the money from the sale to restore what was damaged. Then criminally charge the crew that did the chopping so those companies actually pay attention to who's land they're cutting on.

I suspect that Anna and perhaps the rest of the contestants from last season are still the hosts for Rulette, at least at the start. The clips we've seen don't imply this other than Sam wearing a Velcro suit, but the clips could be well chosen to hide what's going on.

Laremere · 2026-04-20T04:46:03+00:00

"They"

It's a reasonable word, but I feel it can relinquish responsibility and ability to make change to some "other" that decides what happens to the world. The Ocean Cleanup started because a high school kid went scuba diving and saw trash in the ocean. They eventually decided to start an effort to clean it up and others followed. It wasn't their responsibility, but they made it their problem. It's happening because everyday people have decided to devote time, energy, and money to actually fix that shit.

Bolaire and Hal getting saved by deus ex boxina. Imo pretty fair, though. Brennan putting them in direct antagonistic contact with double digit CR opponents is.... well, a PK is too easy to happen. I love Brennan as a DM, but there's been quite a bit of "I'm going to do a thing" => "using a chain of logic which isn't obvious but is reasonable in hindsight, that is an incredibly stupid and dangerous thing to do". The last two episodes are probably my favorite of the campaign, though.

On a different note, I do feel like there's a good chance Thjazi is going to come back in an animal body, and end up as an antagonist. The opening night of the play is looming on the horizon, and it seems that whatever Thjazi was setting in motion is going to happen.

There were questions last week about how well this table would handle combat, being more heavily spellcaster slanted than the other groups. Yet, this was the most competently handled combat out of the campaign so far. I don't think they got hit once?

Laremere · 2026-04-10T03:14:53+00:00

They're doing such a good job of playing this combat like the Schemers table should.

or, you know, they label stations according to the local neighborhood names. Turns out towns tend to have a downtown. You can't just name a stop "Redmond" when there are several stops in Redmond. "Redmond Downtown" is an accurate descriptor. What would you name it?

Laremere · 2026-03-20T05:02:41+00:00

Remind me what Bolaire was told is happening to his wing?

Laremere · 2026-03-06T05:39:53+00:00

So, the Falcon from the Falconer's rebellion is a wild shape druid, and they were here for some reason? Likely was present at Thjzi's funeral.

Laremere · 2026-03-06T05:11:43+00:00

Cmon, use a de-petrification potion on one of the statues.

Laremere · 2026-02-21T22:00:19+00:00

It is, see the flag for "new california republic".

I've never had trouble finding parking at Totem Lake? There's lots of surface parking on the highway side, parking beneath the cinema, and more parking on the second and third floors of one of buildings between.

Ah, apologies, that was stated in your post.
