I'm a couple episodes behind on CR due to traveling but I've heard enough regarding the previous episode to get the gist of what went down and I cannot believe any of the backlash I've seen over this. It's all ridiculous.

I have to say though my personal favorite response was someone accusing Matt of becoming a manipulative, power-gaming DM who only cares about toying with his player's lives and causing pain to them (and the fanbase, of course); after one death in 26 sessions. That and "Kidnapping players when they're not there" to defend themselves, which I think they missed the part where that was Matt implementing an excuse to take three characters out of the action whose players aren't around.

And by favorite I mean "What is going on."

Although I've seen these reactions, I've only seen them disparately on Twitter or Youtube. I haven't found a large repository of them yet. Are they mostly on Tumblr or Reddit?

EDIT: Yep, mostly Tumblr.

Okay I take it something huge happened and I am trying not to spoil myself but who is being dickwads and how are the cast holding up?

Please say that they are okay and/or calling people out for freaking out about something.

Dice fell where they may and some people didn't like that. Now they're looking for something to blame other than the dice, and being very immature about it.

Oh dear. Are the crew and staff being shouted at on Twitter in a none jokey "YOU DICKS!1!" kind of way?

The grand majority of people are supportive and protective of the cast. Others are having trouble understanding it and assigning fault to the DM or players. It usually takes the form of "this is ruining me and someone in particular is the cause".

And then a few people are noting Ashly Burch's presence and taking the opportunity to go full Gamergate, which is just kinda fuckin' typical.

I think there's healers capable of resurrection in Zadash, which is something like 6 days away. They've also got the Orb and some gold, so if they can get to Zadash they should be able to get Molly resurrected. There's also the possibility of a guest cleric next week, intervention from a god or other powerful being that demands something from the Mighty Nein in return, or Molly coming back without his memories or with his old Lucien memory.

Don't forget that Matt also released a homebrew class specifically for characters that die. That's probably the more likely outcome, the other being that Taliesin just makes a new character.

Honestly the people that are the angriest about Mollymauk getting ripped a new one for good are also the least palatable fans of the show.

I just find it amazing that people who are completely and utterly devoted to a show will shriek and holler when a character they like bites the dust and start accusing the creators of abuse and homophobia, and subsequently deny the intent of said creators after hiding behind the veneer of claiming to be interested in their well-being. What a bunch of loving hypocrites.

Having seen the episode, I can’t believe people reacted so strongly to Ashly’s rping. It really wouldn’t have changed much had she played normally, I think. Also I’m sad Molly is gone bc he was the gayest character in the party, but accusing the cast of homophobia bc he died is like the furthest reach I’ve seen in a while.

What's your av from, by the way?
