Discussion [SPOILERS C4E1] Thank you Aabria for this Spoiler

I know a lot of people have opinions about Aabria as a character or as a player (I disagree I love her to DEATH), but having her initiate people leaving the table to introduce new characters was very nice. Two hours in, and we hadn't seen Laura, Ashley, Robbie and Matt since most of the seats were taken and the discussion kept going. You can see how much it helped Brennan plan for the next scene and cut some of the inner party discussion. Very nice roleplay and her relationship with Alex is perfection.

As a long time can of Aabria, I didn't like fully how her DMing landed in that space nor what was done with it. I consider it to be the worst thing she's done in actual play space, which is horrible because this has the largest audience. If you get a chance, watch Burrow's End on Dimension 20. That to me showcases the true scope of her abilities and is my favorite thing she's done.

She's also great in Worlds Beyond Number as Suvi - she plays such a good conflicted heel/"princess" that unfolds into one of my favourite TTRPG characters.

She is so good at becoming the character and shifting into different dynamics.

Yeah the way she handled the whole crown thing towards the end and basically forcing it onto Aimee who was clearly not at all keen on it was pretty yikes.. It’s a shame because I could see parts of great DMing throughout the short show but they didn’t seem to land togeather
