      Right off the bat, I think Kingston is going to be one of my favourite characters. He's older, and with that you get some nice advantages that you have established credibility into this world. You have family, you have a well placed job, you have history with the story. It proves to me that Lou knows how to take characters and put soul into them. I literally can imagine Kingston in a movie like reel doing that bit with his cousin. Absolutely amazing.

    6:15 his tattoos are Russian phrases:
    1. “love is eternal”
    2. “handwriting” or “manuscripts” which feels as part of a famous quote which translates as “manuscripts do not burn”, it is a quote from “Master and Margarita” by Bulgakov (famous Russian author)
    3. my personal favorite: the third word translates as “skill”, and it also feels like a beginning of a famous Russian saying which roughly translates as “a skill can not be drunk away” or “a skill can not be spend on a drink”
    this is brilliant, it is so heartwarming to see people doing research about your language and culture and actually using it the correct way instead of choosing simple mockery (like bears and vodka…)
    and also I can easily imagine these phrases as tattoos
    and it is also very funny

      @@kylebeardsley6200 if nothing else, Joren accepted Liam's asexuality despite being... probably the most sexual character in D20. Thats gotta count for something. Also yeah compared to the mess that is Amethar (Lous character for the uninitiated) and his whole family (including Ruby and Jet, Siobhans and Emily's characters in that campaign), it is for sure some of the more wholesome content in ACOC. Btw, if anyone is reading this thread out of morbid curiosity, I highly recommend subbing to dropout for ACOC - that season is by far my favorite of the inteprid hero seasons, and has some of the most dramatic storytelling and emotional gutpunches, alongside some comedic goldmines (Swifty, Slammed Down Big Style, Gooey and Theos weird relationship, Primsy, etc.). Honestly, if fantasy high weren't available for free on youtube, ACOC would be what I recommend to D20 newcomers. Sorry I'm just kinda gushing about this campaign now lmao, just thanks for reading this comment if ya did, and I hope yall watch ACOC.

    I love how the different classes they chose sort of dictated whether or not they knew about the unsleeping city. Like, of course Kugrash, Misty, Kingston, and Ricky all knew about it because their specific classes give them magic that they control and understand, where as Sofia is a drunken master monk, a class that does not use magic or spells, and Pete is a wild magic sorcerer, so his magic hadn't been realized at this time and therefore it was reasonable that he didn't know about the unsleeping city either.
