I was a bit surprised by my party's actions in this episode. Every other group I have ever GM'd for, would have definitely investigated the door of the tomb at least a little before just grabbing the hand and diving right in. I had each of the 12 scenarios planned, knowing I would only use three of them, which is perhaps a little over the top - even for me. But each one was relatively simple.
As you heard at the end of the episode, timings got away from me a bit, so this one runs straight into next week's episode, hopefully you've still enjoyed it. As always Alex has spun gold out of the rather poor hay I have provided him with. I loved the magical teleportation sound effect that was used in this episode, it made it so much more fun. The effect for the voice of Atlas was also lovely, I do tend to do a bit of voice acting for my NPC's but it's really interesting to hear that dialed up with effects.
So many jokes in this episode that I really loved too. Perhaps the best for me was James' "... Sir Bertrand thought to himself."

I like the less polished presentation of the sidequest, it's not a bad thing! For newer players I'd think It kind of feels like a glimpse into what happens to us when we play long enough.
There was a wonderful bit in the last episode (I listen to the previous weeks episode in the gap between getting home and the new one coming out) after Edward healed the leopard.
*Roll* It jumps into the trees *Roll* Successfully *Roll* You can't see it...
And by the party leaping straight into it, do you really just mean Alex? The other two would have taken a bit of time over it if they'd had a choice I feel...

It had to make the check to avoid attacks of opp, then to jump into the trees, then to hide. Perfectly logical  I dunno about taking their time. Tjelvar would have, I'm sure, but Bertie seemed to feel that his destiny was at hand... |

Tjelvar would have, I'm sure, but Bertie seemed to feel that his destiny was at hand... Entirely logical, and I followed that's what you were doing. It sounds much more like I actually play. The main quest is very good for showing less experienced players how to go about getting their tabletop on and is very good for that, but now I can also play an episode or two to show them how it all comes together when you're confident with the rules and the roles. As for Bertie, I think he would have taken a bit more time over the classical nudes if he hadn't needed to chase after his companions... Please do forgive the mess I made of the quotes there.

Difficult to do on a phone during a ciggie break Perhaps, it's fun to see a character who is even more gung-ho than Bertie. We actually discussed how to make a spin-off work with the examples of Frasier (good) and Joey (bad) in terms of using an established character. A topic that has always fascinated me. Edited your quoting, hope that's ok. |

Oooh, that tickles! (thank you. It was annoying me even whilst I was working)
In terms of this spin off it's definitely more Frasier than Joey. Though I find myself hoping that Tjelvar spins off himself forming some kind of Rusty Quill fractal. I don't think anyone here has given Ben enough love for that character, who is flat out awesome.
