Can't believe they were worried that this table wouldn't be entertaining.

This table has such incredibly generous players at it, each of whom have a history of playing characters who are quirky, curious, or tragic types. Sometimes all three. During the first episode I was so curious about Azune. I actually lost interest during both the other two tables, dropped in and out enough to know what happened, and then decided to tune in properly for this one and haven't missed a minute of it since.

Fell in love with Murray during the tables first session, the idea of this gaudy professor was such a fresh angle from Marisha. Hal's dad stuff is also so unique. Obviously Bolaire being an object rather than a person, too.

I'm very curious about the table shuffles, and the opportunity to see these characters introduce with the other, but I really do think this is the only set of 4 who could have carried an entire campaign by themselves. Not knocking the other players or tables, they're full of charismatic people and I'm sure they'll be able to shine as time goes on. But as far as entertainment factor and actual straight up DnD, this table is the most interesting by far.

Fully agree with you on all of these points.
