After 6 months of listening to CR at work I have finally caught up and can begin my descent into this fandom.

C2's cast is way better on average and way more interesting but they're a lot more serious than C1's cast. It's like you inverted the amount of Grog and Vax.

Did you see the long look Caleb gave Jester last episode? I think he’s falling for her, too.

I could have misread it but Liam is like the master of RPing while everyone else is jabbering, and it was definitely a Look of import. What it ultimately means, who knows.

The whole top table is in love with Jester

Beau told her last episode that everyone was in love with her as a way to get around saying "I love you" (or at least, am attracted to you) but she was still inside the zone of truth, so as far as she is concerned everyone has a bit of a thing for Jester.


Have none of them ever heard of Google? "I don't know what this thing is" really shouldn't be any kind of impediment to finding out nowadays.

She was the one not affected by it. Caleb and fjord were and they started to squirm until Beau saved the day.

Been a lot about sealed divine poo poo in this campaign. I'm guessing the beacons being bits of some god before all will probably end up being part of it.

I think you're forgetting the only ship that matters with Beau; her friendship with Caleb. Since it's improving both of them, and they're each inspiring the other to not only improve themselves, but improve the world by stopping a huge war.

That, or Beau x the Balleater. Which she seems to take a weird amount of pride in being the first mate of.

Beau's Friendship with Fjord is way more important. She finally got family that respects her and wants to help her improve thru big brother Fjord.

A redditor had an interesting observation;

Also, that druid (Veridian?) is totally Keyleth's missing mom from campaign 1. She's missing a leg (which is all the Ashari found of her mom), is a half-elf (which Marisha confirmed Keyleth's mother was), a druid, and is appearing on an island that seems to mess with memories.

Big if true, if a slight stretch.

Nothing stopping anyone from making monsters that do this in 5E anyway, but yes there are few that do. Some spells and abilities require the target to be under a certain HP threshold, but thats about the limit of it.

Nothings stopping me from removing half the rules and replace it with VtM mechanics either. House ruling isnt the only solution the game itself could include thing in designs.

The very obvious character arc was Molly runinng from his psat as it becomes too large to be ignored and watching him struggle with meshing a stranger's past with his own wishes.

He just died before literally any of his stuff actually started.

Like a lot of the complaints ITT about "OH he was boring cause he just didn't engage with his character plot" are weird cause the whole of his backstory we got before he died was "Met 1 old friend who also had literally no idea what happened."

Given their report it would have been fun to watch Caleb and Molly swap "Encouraging the other to reconcile with the past as they work to be a new better person" back forth.

I still wonder how they're going to handle this. Are we going to get everyone playing 2 characters at the same time? Will it be two mixed up parties separated? Or will it just be a select few of each?

All I really want tbh is the Nein dealing with Grog because they seem like bad influences and the Dramatic Dark Backstory boys Caleb and Percy to bump heads.

If I had to guess, the next two or three weeks is going to be the Clusterfuck of Travellercon. If they wanted to spice it up, maybe have the Ukatoa fish people show up and start loving with people again?

I feel like we're hitting that point in the story where the gang needs their "Chroma Conclave attack" moment to spurn them into the higher concept meta-plot of the mid to endgame of this campaign. What form that takes I don't know, I don't feel like any of the individual plot threads constitute that same sort of crisis point that the CC had for Campaign 1. Like, my initial thought is that Essek gets outed as a traitor to the Krynn empire and executed, and the rogue Daemonologists use the chaos to start summoning some truly gnarly poo poo.

I mean the evil power hungry wizard with near limitless influence on the empire, an army of black ops magic lords and no real morals is kind of a big threat that could blow up

The Assembly is almost certainly an active threat. Without knowing the truth behind the Beacons and what their researchers are up to, it’s impossible to tell how active. But the peace is going to accelerate the research program, and having the Nein around poking around even moreso.


Yeah leaving the rosetta stone to the magical control of Time/Space in the hands of the Assembly, Trent Itchython Esp., seems like it could only end up poorly for everyone that isn't in The Assembly's inner circle. It's probably gonna pop off way faster than people expec in universe.
