Hey folks!
With the passing of Bertie, we're going to be bringing Season 2 of #RQGaming to a close soon. Which means it's time for another dose of Q&As!
Please leave any questions you have for the cast and crew in this thread and we will attempt to answer as many of them as we can. Closing date for questions is 10pm GMT this Friday (16/02/17) as we will be recording on Saturday.

Yay, Q&A time! 1. Will there be another fourth player? 2. How many episodes are approximately done in advance to the one that's aired? 3. How big/small was Hamid in his dragon form?

I am awed by the number of episodes you all are able to produce across all shows and still keep the quality high. How do you make this work, especially since I assume everyone has a day job?

I'd love to hear a bit more about the balance between telling a coherent story and playing a roleplaying game. I've recently started listening back to the beginning and there are a few times when something either goes horrendously wrong or way better than expected because of the dice: the Parisian catacombs are probably the best example. Those episodes are so tense and full of such great character moments. How do you make it so something unpredictable somehow still includes rich and satisfying story beats?
Alex, have you ever been genuinely flummoxed by an in-character decision someone's made?

How did the players surprise Alex the most this season? I never felt like Alex railroaded the players, but I'm curious about the moments when they went in a direction he completely did not anticipate.

Hi! I love the show! I was very sad when Bertie passed, but it was handled beautifully!
Questions: 1) Will there be a new character joining the party? 2) Will someone tell Zolf and if so, how will he handle the news? 3) Can someone give Hamid a hug? 4) What Olympic routine do you feel best embodies Janice (on Ice)? And finally 5) Would you consider re-naming Bertie's last episode "Bye Bye, Bertie"?
Thanks for all you do!

Have any of you ever gotten so emotional (angry, upset etc) that you've had to stop recording?

I love this show so much. It is by far my favourite RPG podcast out there. RIP Bertie, you will not be missed.
What were your favourite moments of this series? What were your least favorite/most frustrating moments? Which special was your favourite? Are we going to get a spin-off series about Brutor and the magical taking sword? Alex, do you find it easier or harder to create encounters now that the characters are at a higher level?
Keep up the great podcasting. I can't wait to see where this series goes next.

There are some excellent questions here. I'm excited to record this episode. I'm gonna add one, we'll see if it gets included:
Alex - why can't you ever let nice things happen to the characters? Why can't you let them be happy?

I feel like I've had so many questions, but they're mostly forward facing, would require spoilers and there's no fun in that. For Bertie, I feel there was quite a lot of story and history on his character. It's sad there's so many threads to pursue that now may never be explored, and that's ok. Things happen, and that makes things even better, despite killing people.
So my question about Bertie, According to Bertie, if he failed, he would be sent to the flaming poo dimension if the debt was not repaid or he failed. Does that mean that Brutor is going to have to take over the family name and take over Paris in efforts to not end in the flaming poo dimension? And will the team get the famed item he got during his semi-solo expedition? Maybe as a parting gift to Hamid.
For Sasha, (I guess it's more of a general gameplay question) Can you reverse being undead? Are there potions of cause light wounds? Channel negative energies in a can? Is this to nerf her since she was kicking butt for so many episodes in a row?
I will admit is hard to see Hamid break down like on episode 80. I can't see things going well at all. His sister is dead, Zulf went solo, Bertie is dead, they ruined Paris, Sasha is undead AND he spontaneously became a wild dragon that wouldn't go for walksies when he could've been saving his sister. Yikes. So I'll let him off the question hook for now.

The only unasked question I have is whether season 2 merchandise is going to appear in store.
I'm so excited to see what's going to happen next in the story, it's my favourite podcast by far!

We still have no exact spelling of Grizzop's full name. Grizzop Drikt akt Amsterdam? And what does it mean? I thought it could be Goblin for 'Grizzop Drikt from Amsterdam', but that're questions for Ben to answer. .

Having recently read David McLellan's biography of the man, I'm curious: does Karl Marx exist in this version of the year 18-*mumblemumble*? I can only lament the fact that we'll now never get to see the spectacle of he and Bertie stumbling upon one another.
