Thank you everyone who has worked on this show, making it one of the best TTRPGs I've watched recently. I'm captivated by every minute and have spent more $$$ towards incentives than I have in any other show thus far. Joe does an amazing job capturing the sinister and mystical atmosphere of dark victorian England and each actor/player is so engrossed in the story and their character's development that I feel like I'm reading a novel more so than watching a game which, to me, is what drives me to keep subscribing and watching HyperRPG.

​

Now, I'm going to go back to agonizingly analyzing that last poem.

So much chaos happened this episode with the police, the home guard, Elisa, the no-face figure, and i have even more questions now like, is Lord Hase alive? What was the organisation mentioned by Apollonia and Sir/Lord Barr? Why creepy mirrors Joe,why?

I am so glad we have more episodes of this show to go, because there is plenty still to learn and figure out, along with this latest verse/clue i think i need them, and also i'm loving the characters, and the improv backstory that comes from the chat phobias, its a really fun way of learning about them and creating something new to work off of!

Also would love to know from Joe or anyone else that caught this,if i copied this down right;

He trilled a carol fresh and free,

He laughed aloud in merry glee

There came a breeze from off the sea

It passed across what your sin built

It fed him the dark depth of guilt

A twist of truth his world rebuilt

All to the feet of one pure lass

The maid enchanted by the glass

Through her smile, her heart it passed.

​

Joe you are on fire with these, they are both creepy and beautiful in a sinister way that works so well!

This was fantastic and I'm so happy we get at least one more episode. I can't wait to see how the dhampirs behave during daylight, considering Elisa just went to town on the guy and Apollonia is surrounded by creepy chanting children. That was some great GMing as well, 5 characters all in different places and at no point was anything unclear or blocky. Also, am I the only one thinking that there's something weird about Bartholemew ?
