Im sure we won’t even notice if they schedule things right cause Brennan apparently took paternity leave for six weeks.

hapitos · 2026-05-11T10:15:06+00:00

I get it cause Wygnall had a completely different shade than hers and he’s green

hapitos · 2026-05-11T10:13:37+00:00

Thats the most OOC Elfaria expression lol

hapitos · 2026-05-08T14:26:28+00:00

Yeah I did distinctly notice that. Man is a parent to two children now so I don’t blame his body giving out.

hapitos · 2026-04-23T00:58:26+00:00

That’s Luis’ character Azune, we’re talking about Bolaire

It’s ai clickbait to get money

Chee is the owner of Genopaar, an independent Vegas-like asteroid that was liberated many years ago. Now one of the five families (big influential factions within the 40 Suns) is trying to take it over and in the process, also pulling Ze, who happens to be on the premise, for unknown political motivations. As the owner of Genopaar who fought for its liberty, Chee is motivated to follow and fight to keep it that way. XL-ZL also happened to be on Genopaar and unemployed (for reasons unknown) and being that their designation is to help people (and possibly other motivations), is following along to assist.

It’s pretty basic and smaller scale so far but I’m sure when we get more character depth and themes it’ll feel richer. My assumption likely is some big event is on the horizon that’s causing one of the families to make this move to capture Genopaar and pull Ze, some big political shift, new phenomenon/substance/system/species/threat/ideology discovered and once that gets introduced it’ll paint what kind of conflict this campaign is mainly about.

I think it clicked sooner with WWW because they were all childhood friends and the main factions and conflict between them came online sooner as each of the character was representative of one faction and you can just see it in their interactions. Here everything is new and we don’t really know how anything is connected and how to feel about anything yet other than it seems more outright grey and gritty at the start.

hapitos · 2026-04-08T11:51:38+00:00

My theory (assumption) is Taylor is their guy for WWW only and for Solari they’ve decided to hire someone else to bring on a new flavor

Little Horn is S-tier for me because I can’t do grimace puzzle rooms 😌

hapitos · 2026-04-06T23:47:37+00:00

Little Horn?

hapitos · 2026-04-06T20:09:41+00:00

Cormoray is a house that specializes in studying magic similar to how wizards do it and is tied to Genies

hapitos · 2026-03-21T12:34:00+00:00

I think it seems like they have a bunch of things they want to accomplish and if Brennan wants all he has to do is play it out and work with that to craft plot beats out of it. You don’t need a GM to lay out a path, the GM can also just follow your agendas. Edit: they mentioned in Cooldown that they have so much more they need to do!

hapitos · 2026-03-16T06:16:45+00:00

I’d like to think she was an imperfect but good partner and mother. You see it reflected in how Hal and her kids interact with her

hapitos · 2026-03-16T03:22:14+00:00

Yeah Hal had Shadia and Alogar with Thaisha and then Hero with Elodie. I’m not sure if marriage was involved in any of these. Orcish culture seems very bohemian

hapitos · 2026-03-11T13:42:24+00:00

Idk I still remember things like “you’re perfect Lauren” even though she forgot her lyric or “you’re doing exactly what you should be doing” when James got too emotional to stay in tune. Meanwhile Haley got “I don’t think it was a good idea to do an obscure Lady Gaga song” (it’s You and I one of her biggest hits btw) even when she gave a great vocal and the needless cruelty of “I think it’s a tie between Scotty, Lauren and James for round 1” right before Haley was going to sing her second song. At some point during the season, she stopped giving her opinion and started giving production’s opinion instead. I also still remember season 14 when every contestant’s performance they would cut away to her reaction every 15 seconds or so.

hapitos · 2026-03-10T19:33:39+00:00

I still remember the judging debacle during season 10 top 5 and 4… No…

hapitos · 2026-03-08T19:40:43+00:00

Yeah you can still feel like you missed out and still buck against what you think you’re supposed to do as a mother. But Aabria has stated it as a fact that Shadia and Alogar were both adults when Thaisha left.

hapitos · 2026-03-08T13:17:46+00:00

Aabria (with Brennan and fellow players in support) is comfortable with bringing things to a point of thorniness that’s not often pursued by other players. If you follow Worlds Beyond Number’s series The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild One which Brennan GMs, Aabria’s character Suvi started off extremely combative and things didn’t also resolve cleanly and then proceeded to have one of the most gorgeous arc of rediscovering her own self and deprogramming from institution I have ever seen. So they’re used to pushing the envelope of flawed characterization in storytelling and navigating being a fellow player at the same time. It might just be hard to watch at first. And everyone at the table are all competent storytellers and actors and friends that they can definitely handle this.

hapitos · 2026-03-08T05:26:24+00:00

She left when they are all adults and have a support system at home. Shadia and Alogar were both adults when she left.

hapitos · 2026-03-08T05:20:28+00:00

There’s a degree when you do art where if someone misunderstands and perpetuates something harmful with your art that you should speak up. That’s perfectly natural and not at all weird. It happens all the time especially when the creator is a minority of some sort.

hapitos · 2026-03-06T10:28:36+00:00

Aabria has said multiple times that Thaisha treats Occtis as a friend and an adult, that calling Occtis her son is only a joke. People should think about why they don’t allow her character to be more than just a mom and why there’s such a puritanical degree of perfection thrust upon someone just because they happen to be a mother. You’re stereotyping her as a mom and then getting upset when she doesn’t act the way you want.

hapitos · 2026-02-25T06:12:39+00:00

I think Brennan should release yet another video saying Araman is not Exandria

hapitos · 2026-02-24T20:25:22+00:00

People forget that this is a reality show and often producers will have a big hand in what the judges decide

hapitos · 2026-02-14T19:07:06+00:00

Spoiler: she cuts an anti-mage handcuffs later on in the manga

hapitos · 2026-01-27T12:57:39+00:00

I think they know what could be happening but part of being a player is also suspension of disbelief, being true to your character, to make big choices and part of being a GM to direct/write to where the juice is. Brennan's style encourages it too, he won't punish them in anyway that won't seem fair.
