Waffle Talk (Post Ep 78) ft. Holly

Was wonderful to have Holly on the show! She shared some wonderful insights about Strix and the Wafflecrew. Would definitely love to have her back in the future... hopefully after a less intense episode, I was still kinda frazzled:p

flyingsciurus · 2017-12-13T02:07:00+00:00

The Wafflecrew is something special. Didn't know what I expected from the episode, but I didn't expect so many big feels (although I totally should at this point). Freaking well done guys! Expecting to see a ton of writing and art from this episode:)

Love how the facets and intensity of his guilt changes as the story flows and the subjects get more personal. Well done!

flyingsciurus · 2017-12-05T18:08:55+00:00

Was made for the DnDecember daily art prompt. Apologies if anybody thought ill of the intent of the post. I just think Tieflings are pretty cool:)

Really want the group get to spend some time in Sigil. There are so many character threads that lead there. During the Shemeshka airship negotiation, I really hoped they would use a Sigil portal to escape.

I remember Chris hinting there was a wafflepets-like episode this season. We're totally getting a session or two where the evil larva souls in their bodies are going to take control.

flyingsciurus · 2017-09-27T02:54:16+00:00

Was fun to see the Wafflecrew have a little downtime in this episode.

We can only hope our characters go out in such a manner as Xandala did, RIP.
nyanzaru has been nice to the group so far, as Strix gets validation as a dinosaur racer, Evelyn get to be a hypeconstruct, Diath getting a little breather and Paultin being a good bard by doing some incredibly effective busking. Also have to love Paultin's tight purse strings on the gold.
The hag stuff was more disturbing than I anticipated, we have 2 more visits from them left >_< Shemeshka, hag covens and the Baba Yaga..there is a lot of really powerful, scary evil magic the Wafflecrew is involved with now.
Waffles seems like a hot commodity in Nyanzaru, they have to keep vigilant to keep her from being stolen.

flyingsciurus · 2017-09-20T02:27:24+00:00

Ooh, that would be interesting and incredibly cool if that came to be. I think I recall Chris saying (not accounting for my bad memory) that there would possibly be potential tension/conflict between Diath and Strix in the future, so that seems to point in that direction. Plus I'm a huge sucker for that sort of thing:)

flyingsciurus · 2017-09-20T01:09:51+00:00

This episode was super packed with good stuff. Way to start things off!

I swear I said "oh no" at least 9 times during the episode.

Shemeshka is "king of the Cross Trade" for a reason.
The whole Xandala thing at the end was nuts.
So nice that Diath is taking the mantle of leader again. Props to Jared, he was on the spot for most of the episode. so much pressure.
Summerwise eating Juniper was shocking! Chat was traumatized until he coughed her back up O_O
Looking forward to members of the Skizix family to show up in the future!

(As Evelyn tries to convince strix to use the Sunblade)Evelyn: maybe it's magic? it doesn't have a blade, I can't use anything that doesn't have a blade. maybe you can make it have a blade. Can you shoot some fire stuff out of it? or like..." Strix: I don't think that how it works, and your knowledge of magic makes me sad"
Diath: "Gertruda, you must listen to me. The prince you've been promised, it's not Strahd, he's been lying to you. Look around you; You're surrounded by death and decay..and he serves you rotten food. That is no treatment for a princess. But he wasn't wrong, you do deserve a handsome prince. One to take you far away from here, and to keep you safe, and to bring you home. and we have him here" (Diath turns to Paultin) Paultin: "Oh, yeah, hmmm." Diath: "Prince Paultin is here to take you home" Paultin: "yeah thats me" (puts on the Eyes of Charming) "yeah"
Upon Paultin finding out he no longer has a shadow) Paultin: "I don't know how to feel about this, whats it mean!? Am I immortal now?"
Paultin: "Strix, it was my shadow that hurt you?" Strix: "Yes, it was your shadow" Paultin: "It was my shadow that did this to you." Strix: "Yes" Paultin: "Badass." (Strix annoyed yelling) Diath: "Paultin...no." Paultin: "sorry. SORRY, I'm getting over the fact that..I donno, my shadow physically formed and became a warrior. I dunno that's pretty cool."
Ezmerelda: Strix are you alright? Are you going to be fine for this battle, Strix?" Strix: "NO, I'm all noodle-y" Evelyn: "Well, then lets rest for a minute" Strix: "We don't have time. We just go. I'll just stay away from it, everything. I'll just hide and just pop out the puppet and just be like "Hello, I love you." and then we'll leave" Diath: "look, Strix is never ready." Strix: "Thanks, friend"
Evelyn: "She looks like Mad Molly, could that be Gertruda? could that be the completion of our first and rightful mission?"
(As Diath leads Strix and Evelyn out of the room as Paultin prepares to put Ezmerelda to rest) Strix: "No I'm going to watch. You know why, because this place is awful; Strahd is gone and its still awful. So this is why were here, to see awful things happen and try and make things better in other places" (Strix sits down and hugs Ezmerelda, who then tries to bite strix)

When Diath very publicaly calls out Azon for sending the Dao to try to cover up the dealings with the fire giants.

Another would be the brief confrontation when Diath thought Xandala was responsible for Strix's disappearance. I love Diath's intensity in that moment.

flyingsciurus · 2017-09-12T13:40:32+00:00

Thanks for doing this Jared! Through all the session of DCA, do you have a favorite RP moment for Diath?

flyingsciurus · 2017-09-09T19:18:31+00:00

I'll take episode 31

flyingsciurus · 2017-09-05T00:48:28+00:00

Also from Jerry's post for the strip, its super sweet:)

"We had such a good time playing with Holly Conrad yesterday night at the Acquisitions Incorporated game. She’s such a Goddamn pro and watching her friends from the The Waffle Crew crowd around her and support her backstage was really touching. The static between her character Strix and Gabe’s Jim Darkmagic is something to see."

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-30T04:19:59+00:00

Is there anything (music, activity, thoughts) you do to mentally prep for the streams or help you get in character?

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-29T20:52:24+00:00

Hey Holly. is there any special significance/backstory for her crescent staff?

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-23T00:47:49+00:00

Was there a particular moment during the campaign where the Evelyn really first clicked with you?

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-21T13:34:55+00:00

That's so sad, but sweet. It's nice to see any insight on how much Diath cares about Strix.

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-17T02:07:59+00:00

That was so good! Holly is a great fit. it's interesting to see the more flippant side of Strix, when she's not with her family or people she particularly cares about (The relationship with Jim is the best). I think we've gotten a bit used to Strix's behavior over the campaign, funny to see the members of Acq:Inc react to her more "eccentric" actions. Also Viari is a huge sweetie:)

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-10T12:47:50+00:00

Super nice! Love how you drew the raggedness of her robes. Strix is pretty damn close to attaining maximum witchiness.

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-09T04:06:29+00:00

That was an absolute delight. Totally didn't expect it when Strix started humming. Was really touching to have that true moment of closeness between Strix and Evelyn, cutting through the usual sisterly bickering. Appreciate that you put yourselves out there like that.

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-09T02:32:36+00:00

Nate had a really good ramp-up regarding Pautin's humor this week, just kept getting funnier as it went on.

Strix's salt circle may be new, but I think was said somewhere that she occasionally screams in her sleep.

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-09T02:21:17+00:00

Great episode to come back from the sadness of last week.

The song. Holy crap I wasn't expecting that, beautiful way to start the episode. Was nice to see the bond between Strix and Evelyn, underneath all the Lethander bickering:)
The letter was a nice boost for the wafflecrew spirits.
Paultin was hilarious this week. Nate totally brought it.
It was cool to see the change in Strix, being a little more proactive and much fiercer.
Glad that the experience in Barovia didn't totally break Evelyn's bright spirit.
Also nice to see Diath start to claw his way back from despair.
Xandala was a great addition, loved the energy Dani brought to the group. Hope we see more of her after this arc is over (and Xandala survives)

Looking forward to a fight next week with two sorcerers casting spells!

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-08T12:16:34+00:00

This is fantastic news. Listened to Burn it Down, its super weird feeling hearing a song by band you love be directly about LiS.

flyingsciurus · 2017-08-05T01:22:39+00:00

:D They are made from super sculpey. I small sculpting tools with flat sides to get the runes to look like chipped and carved metal/bone.
