    You guys better whip another cleric (or more) to add to the post death pool for new AVClub members/retainers. They appear to be perishable and undead presence seems to be ramping up lately. Plus more mythric readers would be valuable.

      On another note my sense is that Ted is not especially attached to Titus yet, which might point to further potential vulnerability in the group. Expendable is one thing, keeping track of items, weapons, papers, backing up party members and precious levelled retainers are others. Recent turnover is like my hungry pencil sharpener.

    • @Metal_Horror
      @Metal_Horror 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      My theory is that a madman or madwoman went all out necromancer and what we're seeing is a necromancy experiment gone horribly, disturbingly wrong. And, obsessed with immortality, one or many mages attempted to grant themselves and others life after death, sometimes ostensibly to protect sacred items or jealously hoarded treasure. Who better to grant these arcane students the knowledge to do this than the great Thoth?
      If this is true, what it also implies is that the AV Club too can pick up necromancy... Maybe to build an army of undead. But it's just a thought; maybe I'm completely off base.

    Love the show and have been ripping thought them since I've found y'all.
    I've wondered why you've opted to have no ambient sounds or music behind these? I know there's an abundance of royalty free stuff out there and always end up playing dungeon synth behind watching these. I don't at all mind doing that, I've just wanted to ask for a minute.

    • @3D6DTL
      @3D6DTL  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      We intentionally try to pare down as much artifice as possible, so it’s basically just the gameplay that is firing the imagination. Very few crutches, so no battle maps, no fx, no minis, no tokens. For me personally, I’ve also found that background music will often not match the tone of what is occurring at the table. And on the opposite end of the spectrum, managing a soundboard with dozens of cues for specific scenarios is brainpower I’d rather spend on something else.
      Thank you for watching, and I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the series!

      My ruling is that it does not grant sight as a default. It presumes sight as a given, and then heightens it. What’s more, the biggest problem with the Iron Circlet is wearing it openly in the Halls. It isn’t sustainable.
