    Great job with the video. The fact that some "fans" were mad at Marisha for this is mind boggling to me. She plays a high INT, high WIS character who pieced together a crapload of plot threads that the DM intentionally put out there for the players to see, it's simply fantastic.
    How many games have we all DM'd where we practically have to hit our players over the head with clues to get them to move to the next part of the game because they're barely paying attention, so massive kudos to Marisha for being that engaged in the game. Matt must have been super happy as well to know that all he had done had made sense six layers below the surface yet someone could put it together if they tried.

      Those people are very loud, sure, and it's a larger group than I'd likes, but they're still in the minority in the end. Also, what do you expect? That players are *not* gonna try and solve a mystery that's presented before them? That's like, the whole point of a mystery. If I'd be the DM in such a scenario, I'd be slightly disappointed that you'd miss out on that "big reveal" moment (and even then, only to a degree), sure, but that instantly gets overshadowed by seeing how excited your players get about correctly solving a mystery you set up. Either way, my point being, those people are dumb.

      Matt rarely gives them information they already should know unless it's super obvious. There's been many times that the players go back through their notes. It encourages them to keep notes in the first place. While the players would be perfectly justified to ask the DM since (or if) their character would know it, the players actually knowing these things keeps the story flowing and interesting and immensely helps the players keep interest in the game.

      @Aidan Hall I'm gonna go ahead and admit that for like the first twenty episodes I REALLY hated her character, but as episodes have progressed she has easily slid into my top four favorite characters out of both campaigns. I feel that the "bro I'm a teen rebel bro fuck authority bro" facade that she puts up for the first twenty or so episodes really puts people off. Some of those people, unfortunately, obviously don't have enough mental acuity to see beyond their initial knee-jerk reaction to a character. Which sucks, because she really grew into an amazing character.

      People disrespect her for being somewhat of an airhead in the moment! Little do they know is that she's always thinking outside of the game, connecting the dots. She is what I would call a "lucid thinker", someone who delves deeper than the rest, taking notes to solidify her string of thoughts into a cohesive conclusion. Sometimes she overthinks things and comes out as the dumb one, but really she is a slow, methodical thinker who may get overloaded with too many possibilities and outcomes unless she splurges those thoughts onto paper. While others may be quick to think/act like a grasshopper, Marisha does the thinking in retrospect.

      That is very insightful. As a person on the Autism spectrum I see similar things portrayed in Marisha. It's true that many people on the spectrum think outside the box, in my case it's because all of the things on the box are confusing. It's just a guess but I think that Marisha may be on the spectrum, which helps her follow these threads of plot that pass the other players by.

      You don't have to be creative to follow the narrative that Matt laid out, just intelligent enough to pay attention to the important things and to put the puzzle together only missing a few obvious pieces. I'll admit, the cast has a rougher time as a whole due to the multitasking involved in playing the game, acting in character, and producing a show, but that doesn't make the plot that much harder to follow. I would just say that Marisha probably puts forth the most effort in note taking and thinking about the story in the off time than the rest of the cast, or maybe that she's just the first one to lay out her theory wholly. Her investment makes a normal amount of sense when you consider that she's married to the worldbuilder and is always engaged. That's all, nothing any more stellar about this than what's come to be expected.

      Polar opposites too. Jester/Laura fooling the Hag was a flash of creativity leveraging the Hag's emotional need for sadism that she improvised on the spot. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Beau/Marisha pieced together her theory using all the bits of knowledge she had gathered over the course of two years in a careful, measured and logical manner, yet equally as brilliant as the Cupcake incident.
