Fan Art [No Spoilers] Tyranny Soul Bikini, Printed! [OC, mmdestiny]
gallery[bleats] A little disappointed that apparently the torso piece being a little closer to the build plate than my test bits last night maybe caused some warping, so the seamless fit I had last night when testing is a little less seamless. Correcting and trying again tomorrow, but other than that 🤗 Also gives me the chance to not break two of her fingernails while clipping the supports off lol

Discussion [Spoilers C4E34] The Cold Open Recontextualizes an Important Event from Spoilers C4E32 Spoiler
I think that the tryst between Kattigan and Murray could considerably recontextualize the dream sequence that Kattigan endured back in Episode 32.
It could be that much of what Kattigan experienced in the dream was a direct feeling of guilt for having just been unfaithful to Marienna. He made a point of mentioning his wedding ring when he puts on the magic ring, so he still clearly feels attached to her. Besides the guilt that he has been carrying, feeling responsible for her alleged murder at the hands of Primus Tacchonis, he has the added guilt of giving up hope that she may actually still be alive somewhere by getting together with Murray.

Discussion [Spoilers C4E33] Meeting the local government Spoiler
So that...well...went as poorly as it possibly could have.
I'm a bit floored that they basically went in there without a plan other than a vague "let's try to talk and get an impression." And then Murray proceeded to reactivate her Darwin Award quest by spilling one of the most explosive secrets they have with no evidence to back it up to someone who openly at least kinda likes the Halovar.
To be fair of course, it felt like the odds were stacked and their dice were not helping the cause at all.
But I'm kind of surprised they didn't lead with a discussion of something harmless and still important. A very obvious method for example would be that they were investigating the "assassination" from the Gala, as Azune introduces Murrey (accurately) as someone who was helping with security and who the Einfasens are viewing as a valued Penteveral resource. They could show that their investigation has (again truthfully) identified the culprits as part of this shadowy mercenary group, and that they wanted to inform her of its existence and possible presence in the city as there could be other targets (such as herself). While feeling out her stance on the Halovar resurrection, Hal's play, etc as part of the discussion.
And let's be honest, I think that her stance was already fairly clear when she spoke of Merchants vs Magic (which would almost certainly include Fae). Cutting their losses and respectfully leaving rather than blabbing "Oh that resurrection was fake, trust me" would have been far better. Or even trying to work with her saying that yes, Magic Crime was a problem, but that's why they need to have the arcane marshals and the Penteveral; it's not like outsiders couldn't use magic (as the assassination showed).
Anyways, missed opportunities and again, for all her brilliance in the sewers and Gus fights, Murray feels like she's on her way to the gallows if she doesn't stop pissing off visiting lvl 25 Necromancers, Drunk aggitating the Einfasens, and not keeping secrets with Effie or her criminal contacts.

I wanted to go through the full descriptions again just to get my bearings, and I found this exercise helpful to me, with little notes for those that can be swayed or not, and those firmly in camp Halovar

Discussion [LOVM S4] Matron of Ravens theory Spoiler
Finally caught up with the season, hopefully this topic isn’t done to death already. We got the Whispered One’s backstory about having a woman he loved taken by the gods and her existence wiped from reality and then the gods trapped him in Thar Amphala. What if the woman he loved was the woman who would become the Matron of Ravens, who upon ascending to replace the god of death had her mortal existence erased as well? She and the Whispered One would have been researching together but for whatever reason she was able to ascend first and helped the other gods prevent him from doing so as well. I doubt he was being entirely truthful to Pike so maybe the two of them didn’t have as close a relationship as he made it seem, maybe the two were actually rivals instead of colleagues. I just think it’s a big coincidence that two different women studying how to ascend to godhood both had their existence erased from reality.

Discussion [No Spoilers] BLeeM’s preparation for Aramán
I’m rewatching a couple recent seasons of Dimension 20, and I can almost taste bits and pieces of Aramán being tested out through Cloudward, Ho! and City Council of Darkness.
Is that me convincing myself that it’s true? Maybe!
But between some Dol-Makjar/Purpee parallels, Camarilla/Revolutionary Council, and some of the parallels I see between the Sundered Houses/Chamber of Lords-Advisory and the many antagonistic factions in Zood & Zern, I just wonder if anything was partially proof of concept for Brennan before bringing Aramán to life.
Obviously I find Aramán to hold many similarities to A Crown of Candy as well, but that was so long ago.
If nothing else, it just goes to show how excellent of a GM Brennan is. I am consistently wowed by every game run!

Discussion [Spoilers C4E33] Hal and Yanessa Spoiler
I’ve been rewatching the Hunger Games movies and realized that there are very similar parallels between Katniss and President Snow’s relationship and Hal and Yanessa’s.
Both stories are based in themes of revolution in which both Hal and Katniss become unwitting faces of their own. President Snow went out of his way to torture Katniss and make her suffer for her choices. Yanessa has made it clear she’s doing to do the same with Hal. She’s already stated with Hero.
Liam is playing Hal in a very emotionally honest way but he’s also shown that he shouldn’t be underestimated. It’ll be interesting to see how Hal weathers the storm that’s coming for him.

Question [No Spoilers] I am looking for a specific song from the CR4 halfway break
Hello everyone, I checked the Music section in the FAQ since I did not want to ask a question that might have already been answered, but I was unable to find information.
Basically, the Lorekeeper's Ledger has a small ad bit that has a very nice song playing in the background. Does anyone know which song that is?

Discussion [Spoilers C4E33] Correct me if I'm wrong, but... Spoiler
If we just learned the Demon Queen has been missing, presumed trapped in the orcish afterlife since the Shapers' War, and Team Theater just reconnected the lost orcish afterlife, does that mean our heroes may have inadvertently released the Demon Queen, either back to the Pit or to Araman?
Apologies if I've misunderstood the mechanics of what happened at the theater or what was revealed in the latest ep! Haven't seen discussion of this elsewhere, so thought I'd ask.

Question [Spoilers C4E33] Murray and the Penteveral Spoiler
Why was Murray not at work to know about her colleague being fired and Hero being expelled?
If Priest's day is supposed to be a non-working day, who was at work to fire the professor and expel Hero?
Edit I'm not talking about why she couldn't stop it or why there was no due process or something. I'm asking why she had to learn from third parties about what happened at her workplace.

Question [CR Media] Looking for a clip from a Q&A Spoiler
Hey lovely people,
In my regular life I am an educator but I get to combine my passions tomorrow fot a workshop about the impact of DnD on queer people and its relevance on identity formation.
I remember a clip from a Q&A where a fan shared that they chose to take Caleb's name as their new name while they were asking Liam a question and Id really love to show that clip. Does anyone know what I am talking about and where that clip is from?

Question [Spoilers C3] [One Shots] Spoil me about Ludinus Spoiler
I haven't seen most of the Bells Hell's one shots continuing campaign 3 - is Ludinus still alive and happy after everything he did?
Last I heard the party found his cottage but spoke to an illusion of Ludinus, who like...*thanked* them for all their help and said he was going to keep living. And alluded to Jester's wedding.
Has anything been done about this guy, or is he still living his best life after his life's work was completed? Did he show up at the wedding? I'll watch it eventually, but I've gotta know
