I noticed it, only because I thought it was unusual for an F-bomb to be in a trailer. It didn’t bother me though, I thought it defined the character in a short handed manner, this is someone that’s a little rough around the edges, probably not very polite or social. I’m looking forward to the...

A few weeks ago we made up a bunch of characters each for a game to be played when we’re a player short for our main game. On the weekend we played a session with everyone there just so we all got a feel for the system together. During the session, we were making our way to a rooftop banquet on...

The length of the show felt like it perfectly captured the feeling of a novella. At least for me. I’m looking forward to rewatching the series again from the start, probably this weekend.

I took this as a way to emphasize the 'what's in a name' motif of the show. Some King declaring that these people are or aren't a Kingdom isn't reality, in the same way that someone being officially a knight doesn't make them so if they're not upholding what it means to be a knight. I'm not...

Great stuff. No notes. Looking forward to a new season each year for the foreseeable future.
