      Oh man, giving away a temple of the Raven Queen can definitely come back and ruin your day. Quite curious to see what this tournament Ket is participating in. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a stronger reaction to the scenery from the Gulag. Why is everything so brassy anyways? i see a lot of brass in steampunky settings but that’s clearly not what Rodrigo’s going for here.

      Rodrigo mentioned tweeting something to Ket during play. Is there a chance the could be reproduced here?

      • Stephen Schleicher on September 3, 2011 9:55 pm

        If you get on Twitter you can find it there. http://www.twitter.com/fearsomecritter.

      Gee, I don’t want to rub Rodrigo’s knob (hem!) more than what he usually receives here, but what I expected when the plot began to be clearer was lot of repetition. I mean, visiting 5 different cities of the dark council gods and find 5 different mcguffins! And so far I’m amazed by the variety of experiences!

      Kuddos man, and btw I stole your facyflaps for my game!

    3. Marco on September 4, 2011 4:07 am

      Wonderful world building by Rodrigo’s part, seriously, is it weird that i want to join Asmodeus :D?
      More compliments to him because he’s able to raise tension even more getting closer to the end. This trick with Ket is just one more example of his skill.
      I think we never saw Torq so angry against a party member, and he’s scaaaaaryyy…
      I’m gearing up for my own D&D 4e game thanks to you, you’re a great inspiration. I wonder if i’ll be able to do a fine work like you.
      By the way, more twitter interaction please :P that was great!

    4. Gary on September 4, 2011 7:44 am

      Did I miss something? What did Ket do to piss of the queen?

      • IamtheWalrus on September 4, 2011 3:03 pm

        Sold away a temple to Lloth. Believe it was ep#99?

      • IamtheWalrus on September 4, 2011 3:04 pm

        A BIG temple… right next to an eladrin college.

        • Gary on September 4, 2011 7:44 pm

          Ah… remember now! Thanks!

      On the one question at the end of the show
      Me and my buds on the internet use Game Table combined with Skype, Game table if far better then wizards one and can do every thing necessary for DND Best of all its free

    6. Andreas on September 4, 2011 11:53 am

      I knew fakerigo was a little devil!

      And man, is the Raven Queen a tight *** *****! Can’t she spare like ONE temple for the course.

    7. J. R. Scherer on September 4, 2011 9:24 pm

      I can’t find that particular entry in Rodrigo’s twitters but that’s okay. I think Ket should do what he was trying to set Torq up for with Tiamat and sign himself an infernal pact with Asmodeus.

    8. reg on September 6, 2011 5:11 am

      Daaamn, finally reached the latest episonde and now I really have to wait until the next one is published? Scandalous!

      I wonder what the mechanical effects of Ket changing his patron would be. Would he get different powers? Or is this “just” a flavor thing?

      Also I feel like Ket is getting a lot of spotlight here. Not that I personally mind, I find it exciting, but I would not do that in my own game – would be afraid that the other players may either get bored or envious of the “preferred” player. You guys don’t seem to be bothered though.

    9. Ricco on September 6, 2011 8:21 am

      Cool episode, the tour guide really seemed sad about the fact no one was impressed about the city, he really wanted them to ask for more info. Can’t wait for Torq to start nailing Ket’s cape to the floor or something so he doesn’t dissapear.

    10. Paul on September 6, 2011 11:48 pm

      Can’t wait to hear if Asmodeus beats up Torq.

    11. Zobogo on September 18, 2011 6:01 am
