Neverafter: Mirror, Mirror and No Place for a Prince and Princess
Wow, these two episodes held so much in the stories each. Learning so much about the characters, the book, the NPCs, and then the battle.
I quite like how The Stepmother is seemingly connected to every stepmother or stepmother like characters in these fairy/folk tales being this omnipotent being that is so haunting. I'm very curious about how she will continue to show up in this story. The mirror caused quite a fuss about wishing to be returned to her so I'm wondering if we will see the mirror with her at some point possibly.
The book, especially after the death scenes, has really caught my attention in how it can or may be used going forward. Like Ylfa said, they were focusing so much on the past, maybe it's time to look towards the future which I think will delve into how these characters will come back because I personally don't believe that this is the last of these characters.
I can already say that this campaign is also gonna be a top favorite of mine. It's hard not to have a favorite honestly.
A Court of Fey and Flowers
I finished watching ACOFAF a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to just write about my experience watching it.
First of all, I had never really watched anything regency before. I have read Jane Austin before so there were themes I was able to recognize. However, I quickly fell in love with this campaign. It was the first campaign I've watched for D20 that Brennan wasn't the DM for. All of the different campaign mechanics were so cool and caused such fun little stirs in the stories. From the rumors and secret lives of all the characters were so fun to watch unfold. Binx very quickly became my favorite character and this idea of her court being of craft and lost things really tugged at some heartstrings of mine.
I was also practically crying over Rue and Hob. I was cheering for them from the moment between them in the hunt. I've seen all of the different fanart across the tag and they all just make my little heart sing.
Aabria's DMing was so fun and she really set up this beautiful world full of wonder and whimsy. Along with how she had the other players also bring in their voices into the story, it gave such a wonderful feeling of trust and further developed these stories.
It quickly became one of my favorite campaigns thus far. I can't wait to watch the others.
