hob?? and rue???? has instantly shot up into the most compelling dynamic in the campaign for me
hob, used to being undermined and disregarded, not thinking that anything he says would have an impact on this elegant, ethereal being
and rue, always seen as self-possessed and in control, having their world rocked by the words and actions of this honourable, genuinely-trying -his-best goblin far beyond their expectation
what a masterclass by oscar montoya and brennan, wow
“...and his name will be known to him before it is known to any other”
i’m so??? emotional about this line. truly a passing sentence in a bigger scene that made me felt Seen and Known
i think a lot of its impact is because it wasn’t a Big Thing™️. the scene didn’t grind to a halt to mention pete’s transness, the language used wasn’t anachronistic and fits right into the historical setting.
transness is just another facet of who pete conlan is: he’s someone’s descendant, he’s quick-witted and fast-talking, he’s A Mess sometimes, and he’s trans
trans people existing as fully realised people with hopes and dreams, pasts and futures to come; it just means a lot to me
MORE TIMBERN DOODLE FOR MY SOUL >:]
“i don’t need a boon… this is just because you’re hurting”
sam, my love, my heart. i’m so so happy to see this. this is just like what she did for lola and her dog, on a much much larger scale.
sam sees someone hurting, she sees that there is something she could do to lessen that hurt, and she reaches out to do it. it’s so unfair that she didn’t have someone that did the same for her, but she can make sure that other people don’t have to go through it without help. my beloved.
incredible decision by aabriya to include social/reputation mechanics to the game. it’s regency! it’s fey! of course your social standing impacts how you interact with the world.
*chef’s kiss* perfect.
Bruce has this hanging on the fridge by a little magnet.
