The Motorhead quotes are a blessing to this old headbanger. DM did a great job of giving each character showcase time while managing to keep the beast of boredom from slaying the rest of the players. The players are doing a great job of making the best use of their time in the light. I am so excited to see the rest of this campaign payout here on TH-cam.

    This was very very good! There's a lot of dnd content out there, but this stands out as having a lot of potential. Everyone has great chemistry, which makes or breaks these things. Very impressed with Tom's DMing, loved the call of cthulu series but wasnt sure how well the skills he showed there would translate, and he blew my expectations out of the water.
    All the characters are great so far, but the aspect of random posses of adventurers wandering the area makes it really easy for other NRB cast to drop in and out seamlessly. I'm as excited to see great guest characters as I am to see where the current crew ends up!

Here's wishing you all the pigs in the universe!
    Also, has anyone told Dom about all the pigs? Because I think he might have a special interest there... And, tbh, I'd love to see him show up on this adventure, even if it's just as a guest character from time to time. Stalin the Barbarian, anyone...?

    *EDIT after **48:30* So, uh... when Tom mentioned the pigs were smiling, I was like, "I...don't know if that's cute or creepy?" So I decided to Google Image Search "smiling pigs". DO NOT DO THAT.
