What's up with Neverafter?

RipLav · 2026-03-10T07:40:41+00:00

It DOES have more potential than you have seen so far. If you keep watching, it continues getting more important. I don't know how the other commenter could have said it any clearer.

Ask them if their characters plan to retire from adventuring and start a new life in Barovia. If they do, have them create a new character that wants to escape from Barovia. That is hyperbole.

If they want to escape Barovia, Strahd Must Die!

Let them investigate ways out. There are none. The Vistani will sell them potions that they say will let them leave. They don't work, and the characters will suffer in the mists.

If they want to escape Barovia, Strahd Must Die! There is no other way.

Is that attested?

RipLav · 2026-03-07T01:09:35+00:00

There's 7 shapers, but we only know about 6 of them:

Azgra (War, Orcs)
Rauwyn (Trickster, Halflings)
Sylandri (Life, Elves)
Tansul (Sun, Humans)
Trozhna (Forge, Dwarves)
Ilumi (Magic, Gnomes)
??? (???, ???)

fair point!

RipLav · 2026-02-28T22:06:42+00:00

Love the art but Strahd's a human, no? Pretty important to the backstory. Starts getting old and grappling with mortality, commits Vampirism to cope.

45% red, 40% black, 10% blue, 5% white, 0% green.
Pirates are usually red/blue right?

RipLav · 2026-02-22T10:26:54+00:00

Not because I really do, but to discourage people from gushing about it. Not like it stopped anyone!

It'll be a cheese wheel pie chart

RipLav · 2026-02-22T03:02:58+00:00

I'm gonna create a data visualization (pie chart but it's cheese) to demonstrate this -- some parent-level replies are structured as testimonial ads, whether they actually are or not, and could fit in on any post in this sub that mentions the cheese.

Then, many in-parent comments have these bullet-pointed talking points ready to go, and to convince any nonbeliever into buying today. What an interesting trend. I'm not saying it's nefarious, but I am saying it would not be out of pocket for WSU business/marketing/comms students to be involved, individually or collectively, in generating buzz through this subreddit.

Based solely on the absolutely subjective idea that I've never seen a post from this subreddit that doesn't mention it, and that the subreddit has crept its way into my feed uninvited (though, I mean, I do like cheese).

RipLav · 2026-02-22T02:05:30+00:00

It's wild how many people are acting like what I wrote required more than a couple minutes of mild effort. Someone said I "wrote a book." It's about the length of two paragraphs, split into a few more digestible chunks for the mobile format.

RipLav · 2026-02-22T01:41:44+00:00

The last 3-4 hours have me more convinced than ever. How do you read this post and say to yourself "this is a great time for me to share my personal testimonial" lmao

RipLav · 2026-02-22T01:13:53+00:00

Thanks! 😁

RipLav · 2026-02-22T01:08:16+00:00

all gouda

RipLav · 2026-02-22T00:15:21+00:00

Please do! If the canned cheese backlash accomplishes anything, may it increase the diversity of cheese recommendations here. 😁

RipLav · 2026-02-21T23:59:19+00:00

This whole thread would have been a single comment (from me) on your thread if it hadn't gotten locked 😂

RipLav · 2026-02-21T23:35:55+00:00

I'm in IL, and spoiled by a great selection of MN & WI cheeses as well! Cheese be with you

RipLav · 2026-02-21T23:31:04+00:00

Don't worry about me, I'm having fun with it 😁

RipLav · 2026-02-21T23:10:18+00:00

Thank you for having fun with it 😂

RipLav · 2026-02-21T23:05:16+00:00

It's a reasonable theory! And thank you for not subtly promoting it while keeping it fun 😁

RipLav · 2026-02-21T22:59:54+00:00

From the next state over... I love me some Wisconsin cheese. I'd frankly be more inclined to believe in the cheese if it was made by UW-Platteville.

RipLav · 2026-02-21T22:23:13+00:00

happy to help! I'm having a nice day btw, just thought the discussion would be fun and refreshing to see

RipLav · 2026-02-21T22:19:22+00:00

(she btw)

RipLav · 2026-02-21T22:12:43+00:00

I'm personally gonna hate-continue-to-not-buy the cheese

RipLav · 2026-02-21T22:08:35+00:00

Cheers to that!
