  • What do you mean Leiland is human? I thought he always had dope elf ears?
    What do mean wheres Jeremy and Leiland Jr.? I thought they were always only there when convenient?
    Yeah, sorry gang, this one's probably my roughest yet, with not that much attention to detail, but hey they can't all be good I guess.
    I'm still taking request btw, so if you have any suggestions I'm here for it! I was thinking about going back to fantasy high (maybe even season 1?) and doing a scene from there. Maybe Ayda and Fig and their kiss?
    What scene do y'all want to see?

      He was probably suppose to show up either after they did some sort of insight check to figure out how to activate the blood pool or he was going to show up after they all fought eachother to the death because that was the initial plan, a giant pvp at the end, but the power of good and brennan's desire not to railroad players too much resulted in what we got

    1:50 This is how I see it.
    Think of the forces of good in this game. The forces of good will sacrifice themselves, even whole armies willing to die for the cause of goodness.
    Evil is selfish. Evil will care about their friends and NO ONE else. They will tear down the world so that the people close to them can be happy, completely disregarding the happiness of literally everyone else just because they don’t know them. Having their little friendship circle is very evil, because of the WAY they did it. It calls to mind mean girl clique stereotypes in a high school. Yeah, good for them that they’re friends, but they maintain that by tearing others down. Legit I think Olag is closer to “good” in this universe than the PCs

    A little detail that I absolutely love is when everyone is coming in for the group hug you see Markus fade away thinking, "Oh no, he doesn't want any of it," only for him to appear on Lilith's back to get in on the hug. I just love that he teleports in for it. Also that shot at the end of everyone getting ready for the last fight is awesome

    It legit took me a few seconds to realize that minotaur was Sokhbarr, not because you did a bad job at designing him, but because I just keep forgetting he's supposed to not human. A lot of the personality of the characters come from seeing the actors faces as they perform and that causes me to associate them as their characters even though their mini figures don't look anything like them. I always imagined Lilith just looked like Erika put with a spider body. It's weird.

    This campaign, along with great shows/games like CN's Villainous and Lego DC Supervillains, proves that 'hero' and 'protagonist' don't have to be the same thing in storytelling. I truly believe that the world NEEDS more villain centered stories.

      I use the worst software. I don't use software really. I draw every frame on Medibang (making layers "frames" so to speak and making them translucent for the onion effect for reference) and then I go through every frame and make them a jpg.
      Then I transfer them over to a photo animation software (stuff normally used for like photo albums or stuff like that), and adjust the duration of every photo (frame) to match the lip sync. I would NOT recommend this method, and the only reason I do this is because it's just a hobby. I have no intention of learning real animation software or anything like that because I'd either have to pay, or I'd have to learn.
      This is a really easy yet stressful way to do this, and I wouldn't recommend it. But hey, it's just a hobby!
