‘Wilhelm trots along solemnly.’ I was hoping the horse was named Solemnly.

I love the complicated legal standing of magic and mages in this setting. The academy can just take magic children at their discretion, but they are not allowed to participate directly in warfare. No magic users are allowed on the throne. Its all very fleshed out and interesting.

Joe did such an awesome job roleplaying and keeping a straight face when everyone was making jokes about Master Noodles. You could tell he wanted to laugh, but just stayed in character and tried be serious about it. That made it even easier to imagine the actual scene happening and made it even funnier. Great job everyone. You guys rock.

[RicardoMoralesMassin]

oh my... Rudi DEFINITIVELY blew up the dam. And its eating at her. Incredible.

[stonerocks]

A masterclass in worldbuilding and social and political role play - great work all of you!

[texastaterbug]

Jill's reaction to Noodles' excitement about the condition of the city is perfect.

[GaryBoyles]

I watch a few other channels that run DnD, but you guys are my favorite by a long shot.

I am so excited for the reveal of the moral and historical quandaries - and SO excited about the fact that there is really no guarantee that all of these PCs have matching or even really similar perspectives.
Also the fact that Master Noodles is still a moral grey area is amazing. I love it.
Also what is Rudi's connection to this town and situation! AH. :D So awesome.

[Klaital]

OMG the return of Noodles! I remember her from Dungeons of Drakkenhim.

[alexwhitney]

Praying for Monty's vocal chords after that dinner with the duke

[scottburns]

Emerald tavern.... halflings.... Monty is good with references.

[_Phillter]

Every character that Monty gives voice to is incredible! The number of times I sat and smiled at his Master Noodles conversations are too many to say without embarrassment haha! As a fairly new DM I aspire to his levels of character expression and creation someday

[jameskaib]

The way Noodles describes Delirium, it almost reminds me of uranium. Poisonous, but it can be used for things like producing energy and medicine. Just a thought.

[Maninawig]

Noodles isn't that odd of a name, given that Wilhelm's last name is a semi-poisonous flower.

Though I am more curious on how this episode would have changed if Draken Force would have sided with the Silver Order over the Amethyst Academy

[JJFO]

Wow...love this. Thanks guys and gals for the weekly entertainment. Make our weeks a little better...always.

[dominicspagnol]

funniest thing about the mic problems is Monty never cuts out for us xD No worries monty, the world can always hear your beautiful voice! <3

[zactheg]

That intro still gives goosebumps, love the campaign!

[AliL]

Wow! This episode is my favorite so far. So Drakkenheim like! I was missing this political intrigue with the delirium scourge looming in the backgroud, spreading to another city through the river. No dice rolling and yet so much tension! I like both NPCs and PCs. Master Noodles at the mad Duke's side is a vivid picture in my mind, very well flashed out. They feel like they just came out a gothic novel. As well as the final discussion between Rudi,
wrath and Will. Congrats guys, really well done.

[kparish]

❤️ The Holy Grail references !!! Also, soooo much excellent RP ( ie talk about what to do with Illyria possible war)

[nemonamenlos]

I think this is one of my favourite episodes so far. There is so much going on just under the surface, with hints at the secrets all three characters keep - both upfront as well as non-verbally. I absolutely love your roleplay here! Also, I think it's cool to see the characters get drawn into the conflicts and complications of the wider world again. I'm really interested to see where this party might end up in the tug-of-war that is Werstermar compared to the party in Dungeons of Drakkenheim. I have an inkling it might not be the same place as Drakkenforce ended up in...

Btw: Sorry for spamming comments. I might just have binged through all your live-play content, which might have really captured my interest and imagination... But thats just conjecture! ;) Anyway, sorry for the slew of comments again, but expect more, because I have thoughts to get of my chest now that I have more of the whole picture. Hope it helps with the algorithm at least. :)

Can't wait for the next new episode!
