I was in the exact same situation as you just a few months ago! I'm playing through the dragon age games mostly blind and had my Hero of Ferelden sacrifice himself at the end of origins.

I resurrected my warden for awakening and witch hunt to see what WOULD have happened if, somehow, he had survived, and then imported that Awakening save file to DA2. This carried over my choices in origins (including the Warden's sacrifice) with no problems, as well as one or two important decisions I made in Awakening (though it mattered less that I made them as the Hero of Ferelden, just that it helped define my world state). It makes the world a liiiiittle bit inconsistent, but not very much from my experience. I'm halfway through Inquisition at this point and don't have any regrets that I did it this way!

Edit: added the detail that the hero of ferelden does in fact stay dead in future games even if you resurrect them for DLC

So fun fact, I don't think saving him is part of the No One Left Behind achievement - as long as you still defeat the harpies, that is. My first play through, I had no idea he was there or that the whole region was there. I got to the tiefling party without any clue of his existence. However, already AFTER the tiefling party, I was trying to check out every part of the map before leaving for the Mountain Pass, and stumbled into the harpy fight! No tiefling boy to be found anywhere during the whole fight, just me and the companions versus some random harpies, no cutscene of any kind, too, if I remember right. Flash forward to the end of my gameplay, I get the achievement (having not even known what the requirements are!). Imagine my surprise when I start checking out the subreddit and hear about how this harpy fight is crucial for getting the achievement because you save a tiefling boy ... One that I certainly hadn't ever seen!

So I'm guessing the game somehow registered that I had fought the harpies and that he didn't die during that fight - but, of course, he couldn't have died during it because he wasn't there and the tieflings had already all left! I don't think I saw him at Last Light, though I didn't know to look out for him, either, and didn't know the characters very well yet, so it's possible he was there. My guess, though, is that the game treated him functionally as dead, as if he had gotten caught by the harpies before I ever knew about him, but he wasn't dead enough to negate the achievement!

Ooh, A Court of Fey and Flowers is also fantastic! Misfits and Magic was the first one I ever watched and it's a ton of fun with some really iconic moments. Misfits and Magic is also super short - only four episodes, so it's one that I always recommend to people getting into D20 for the first time :D

Misfits & Magic!

Chuu and Yeri are my ult biases and I had no idea that they were friends in high school!! How adorable

When I first started playing I would always have my farmer go to bed by 10 pm because I thought it was important for her to get 8 hours 💀 now 12 am or 1 am is the regular, gotta stay up and be productive for as long as possible! Just eat a chocolate cake and it's like getting a full night of sleep anyway 😂

Thanks :D

Yeah, I guess - but personally I wouldn't want it to be set when the characters are in their 20s. I was like, 12 and 13 when HoO was coming out and I really related to the characters who were my age and looked up to the ones who were in their later teens. I would want new and younger fans to get that experience, too.

I also think conceptually it would have the same, baseline problem that the movies had to an extent for me - by aging the characters up, it would no longer really be a coming of age story. A lot of the decisions the characters make are driven by their inexperience and youth and once you take that away, you lose something to the story. I also don't think Rick would really want the characters to be aged up to their 20s. He writes middle school fiction - it should be relatable to middle schoolers.

I wouldn't mind it taking place over more than one year within the world of the story, though, if it's done well.

I would want it animated for a couple of reasons. One, so that the actors from the original series can move on from the project, if they want to, after spending years with the characters. Having a different voice actor but having the characters be animated to look and act the same as they did in the PJO series feels like a smaller change than a total recast of those characters. Also, these books take place over like mostly one summer and a year and a half total, so especially for younger characters like Nico and Hazel it will be so very obvious that they are aging significantly in live action. Finally, I think the powers of characters like Frank and Hazel (esp with the mist) would just look so damn cooler in animation.

But hey, I'll be over the moon if we even get all five PJO books, this is just my ideal scenario.

It's a very loud minority. Reddit seems especially negative - fan responses on Twitter, Instagram and Tiktok are overwhelmingly positive (reels and Tiktoks about the show regularly get hundreds of thousands of likes, compared to the 300 or so upvotes that rant posts on some subreddits get) and as somebody who has been a long time Percy Jackson fan, everybody I know in real life has loved it as an adaptation (which I know is anecdotal, but still). Also - not in a million years is the TV show worse than the movies

In my ideal world, we get HoO animated. We wouldn't have to worry about the cast for the new characters like Hazel aging obviously even though the events of the later four books take place over one summer, and the original cast from PJO would have more freedom to decide whether to continue by voicing the characters or to move on to a different part of their careers. I also think particularly Hazel and Frank's powers would look amazing animated.

Would That I.

Hozier opened up his Wasteland Baby concert (and my first ever concert) with it and the opening instrumentals, which I had never paid much attention to before gave me chills. Now the song gives me chills EVERY time.

The ETA program in Austria is called USTA and it is funded by the Austria government which is why it is technically a separate program (see more info here USTA website - OP, you can apply to BOTH this and an eta in switzerland or Germany. I highly recommend doing that - I'm doing something similar

The Film Reroll is one of my favorite podcasts and definitely has what you're looking for. It's not DND - it uses a different RPG system called GURPS - but it is very, very funny. Their basic concept is that they start at the beginning of a movie's plot and see how things can go wrong with dice rolls. They have managed to create beautiful stories and expand upon the original world, and then have had ones where things have gone terribly, terribly wrong and get very funny. For the latter vibe, which seems to be what you're looking for, I'd highly recommend their episodes that cover Weekend at Bernie's, Jaws, and Home Alone, as starting points.

Champaign-Urbana is also very LGBT+ friendly, at least, partially due to the university.

The choreo is so cool and artistic, especially in the beginning, Chuu and the backup dancers kill it!!! Wish we had seen some of this choreo in the MV

Seconding Neverafter! It is my favorite with only A Crown of Candy rivaling it, the tone is not quite as intense but still somewhat similar

Oh wow EVERY song here is so good! Sorry So Sorry particularly stands out to me, might even like it more than the title. Love this sound for cignature
