not sure how to make "hello" into worthwhile merch. Hmmmm. A tasteful range of cute Hello Bertie branded accessories, overpriced and in garish colours. As per missnash's suggestion: a duet featuring Zolf and Hamid covering Lionel Ritchie's Hello. A black T Shirt with the vaguest silhouette of a dagger wielding shadow with a speech bubble whispering "hello" with a subtle emphasis on hell. Lol! I want the shadowy Sasha t shirt! And one for my daughter!

I'm expecting that Sasha's portrait is pretty much exactly that (though I'm sure it is at least ten times better in reality - the others have been amazing).

loved the episode, yeah that natural 20 was brilliant, as well as the 2 and 1/2 minute outtake of the rave being brilliant (especially with James doing it in character) The fact that Brutor was also in the carrying sack (i'm not sure how to spell it) means that he saw EVERYTHING with Bertie and Wilde, as he didn't leave anything behind. That poor animal... But then it IS Brutor so you hope he didn't really know what was going on... Yes, but eventually he may figure out what is going on, and then he will swear revenge on Bertie for what he has done. Since we all know that Brutor actually controls the entire universe that the player characters are in, we can expect this to happen, when Brutor gains his sentience.

All the Meritocrats. Also, I've just realised James can craft a long com disgusting joke AND pun with the aristocrats/meritocrats thing...

All of this now enters the intrigue lounge, Brutor survives due to being ALL the Meritocrats, as well as becoming the one true God of the entire world.

What's weird is I'm terrible at NPC names. I ran a World of Darkness Werewolf game where pretty much every single non-critical NPC was called Pete.
Smokey Pete, Mystic Pete, Stabby Pete. All of them.
When one of the players and I swapped roles he carried on the tradition too - substituting "Pete" for equivalents in other countries. There was an entire army with the first name Dilshod once.

I was in tears of laughter listening to this episode. The previous one also reached some new comedic heights. Great stuff.

Kudos for the best handling of a riot scene I have come across And well-handled on the flow - it wasn't until the end of the episode that I clocked that not much time had elapsed. Not a lot got done but a lot *happened*, which is nifty in of itself.

As far as theories go this one caught me unawares.

Sounds like your naming difficulties aren't a bug, but a feature!

Sounds like your naming difficulties aren't a bug, but a feature! The names were mostly for revenge. I was running a somewhat sandboxy game and their ravenous bloodthirsty semi wild werewolf pack made me roleplay a full session as an office of bureaucrats in Aberdeen City Council as they tried to gain information in the least wolven-terror-beast way possible. A part of me died that day.

Having horrible flashbacks to the bureaucratic nightmares of Oneiros S:PI game. So the Celestial Bureaucracy was a little bit... convoluted. You were Sidereals, the supposed masters of bureaucracy and political intrigue I like to think there was enough action and mystery/investigation to compensate for how esoteric it may have gotten. Admittedly when I was trying to limit the fallout from two mischiefmakers masquerading as Joybringers, it may have made things harder for the rest of you. <sotto voce> mwa ha ha ha ha </sotto voce>*
