Last time I tried VERY light captions This time they're not quiiiite as dense as normal, but still capture the major tangents and side conversations. Let me know what you think! (Also, if you're early, the chapters only show up once the video is fully finished processing on youtube's end. They are still clickable in the description, just won't show up in the bar)
“The four endure, the four remember” They *are* integral part of the puzzle. A bit vague but real clear one you remember it was written inside a temple in a room where the pillars depict the elements. “The four (elements) endure, the four (elements) remember (Kimaljiori’s name)” They are telling the players to look for the sphinx’s name inside the elements.
Came for the analysis, stayed for the argument over ichor and petrichor pronounciations. xD Sorry I missed Live, Mega! Work's been awful lately. Was still fun seeing your analysis of the golem fight and the theorizing over the Chroma Conclave and the bombshell reveal J'mon had, hahaha. For me... I just really can't be encouraged to be critical of the "but now you must prove yourself" fights. I can understand why someone would be critical, but for me it passes the justification threshold I have in my head so it ends up being all good; and I become more concerned with if the fight itself is fun. Speaking of: Something to ruminate on, how would you design a fight with an entity that has non-magical immunity? Something that always stuck with me during this fight is how the non-magical immunity would have been a non-factor for the *entire* party... if Percy hadn't lost his magical gun in a vat of acid. Tal rolled with the punches there and admitted to switching to focus on status effects, but that has got to feel bad, and I'm not sure if I would want to design a fight like this out of worry the one person would feel bad and think they couldn't do anything. ... It probably matters less with a huge party like this, but still.

Captions are great 👍🏻

It is now cemented in my mind that any player you are running a game for should be suspicious of everything and everyone. 😂
I'm too stuck in the BitD mindset XD
