In Topic: The game I'm playing is...

Yesterday, 05:13 PM

I finished Midnight Suns, probably one of my favourite games of 2022. I just wanted to dive back in and play NG+ but figure I will wait for the full DLC to be out first before starting again.

Battle system really grows on you, only downside is that I would have liked more cards for the rest of the cast, similar to what you get with the Hunter but I can understand why they didn't, time, budget and balancing wise.

Not sure whether to play Monkey Island next or Tactics Ogre...

Finished EXU: C

Well that made me fucking ugly cry. Jeezus.

So very good.

MAJOR spoilers for the end of EXU:C

Spoiler
I was already a wreck when everyone said their goodbyes to the world ect., and when Nydas promised his brother he would be there soon knowing he would not....but Cerrit speaking to his family did me right in (maybe cause I have kids too?)...so getting to know that he lived after that Hail Mary roll to survive that everyone helped him with....my gods I didn't know how much I needed that at the end of such an emotional episode.

Oh, I was a wreck too...

Spoiler
And I don't even have kids... I was a mess before it but it was the sincerity of the relatiohship between Talon and Wingspan that got me, that it could be lost in that moment.

That Cerrit roll was probably in the top 5 for edge of your seat holy fuck please let it be a good roll CR moments..

And dude, how good was Brennan when he flips out as Asmodeus... the line, "My greatest heartbreak is that when I've collected every last mortal soul and all of my siblings into my pit, that I will only have eternity to punish them!" Is truly fucking epic!

On the Calamity wrap-up episode they talk about character creation and how Brennan let them have anything they wanted magical item wise... with him knowing he was going to mess with them later with the item punishment! Twisted guy haha!

Absolute rollercoaster of a mini-series!

Glad that you are enjoying it!!

I'm almost 2 hours into the last episode of EXU: C now (I marathoned the last two eps yesterday at work and last night at home after the kids went to sleep)....and

Spoiler
The lord of the hells (Is it meant to be Asmodeus?) turning on Zerxus while expected when I knew who he was in the previous episode where they interacted, Brennan did such a hell of a job getting me to buy that the Betrayer Gods were not entirely in the wrong, that when the vocal turn came in this episode....I think I was as shocked as everyone else. Amazing!

So I'm finishing that up while I work today, and then going home to watch the new ep drops of VM, and then this weekend back into M9.

Spoiler
Aye, that is Asmodeus, IIRC - could be wrong here - when CR published their own book during VM and they didn't use WotC to publish they had to stop using copyrighted material like Gods names etc.

That is why in the M9 campaign and beyond the Gods are referred to under altered names.

And in total agreement with Brennan there.

I love the "grey" he creates when Asmodeus is talking about his own creations when he first came to the realm and how he thought he was just expanding out existance...

How love, honour, courage etc are the greatest creations made and how he wanted to make them "more." To make them really matter by creating their polar opposites to counter them...

Deceit, betrayal, viciousness etc were created not to be evil, but to make you appreciate love/honour etc all that much more when they were missing and how his gifts were misunderstood.

It does make you think.

And then you get the line, "Our promises were to the Primordials... AND WE WERE CALLED BETRAYERS!" Goosebumps!

I'm a full episode and change into EXU: C now and after watching VM Episode 3...

Spoilers for EXU:C

Spoiler
So I already liked Brennan Lee Mulligan's GMing, but sweet jeezus when that MFer randomly drops that Champion of the Matron of Ravens PURVAN fucking SUL himself showed up at the fucking Replenishing party Patia's home I had the same reaction as the whole cast to that moment....WAIT...WAIT...HOLY FUCK! and then that moment ramped up to learning something was happening that frightened HIM...and rolling that into Cerrit examining the room with the hodmedod only to learn that some cultist was in there, slicing him in the throat and then seeing a vision of Vespin Chloras in the mirror....fuck me...that was some epic shit.

Re:

Spoiler
Great timing for Purvan to turn up, especially with VM ep3 where they are mocking his name whilst sitting around the campfire, same thing happened in the campaign as soon as they heard his name.

But aye, when he turns up and is worried it's like ohhh shit!

I love that Cerrit moment for the way Brennan describes invisibility and the weakness of the spell, it's a case of yeah, that does actually make sense now you say it! Then along comes "Talon to Wingspan!" Ha!

Glad that you are enjoying it!!

Oh, and my enjoyment thus far of all this stuff made me feel like contributing to the whole endeavour monetarily so I bought a hoodie and a t-shirt from the official site.

I bought the Whitestone joggers and a couple of jigsaws from the store, the Heroes of Whitestone and Isharnai's Hut puzzles, just waiting for some frames then I am going to hang them on the wall.

Careful with sizes though, they tend to run on the small side from the CR store.

That could be Exandria Unlimited content with the rumour a EU:Calamity film... if that is the case FUCK YES!

I'm 2hours into it....Brennan is a solid GM...and while he's different from Matt, both are very good in different ways.

Really enjoyable thus far!

CR was my first foray into DnD so having a 1000+ hours with someone as awesome as Matt as the first DM I saw I think I was spoilt by that you could say ha but aye, Brennan nails it, some parts are totally epic due to his delivery.

I was unsure going into Calamity and another new DM after Aabria and Unlimited but the mini campaign really delivers.
