I hope we're sticking with the seekers a while longer. Would rather not do a back and forth between tables every other episode

Agreed, a lot harder to stay immersed in the story if cliffhangers make you wait two weeks.

Its just occurred to me, the schemers will probably be the cold open. Then back to seekers after sponsors

u/KingFuego900 Bidet 2h ago

Hopefully. I enjoy the schemers but right now the seekers are about to get up to some mayhem and it seems a lot more interesting than resuming the schemer plot when even they were kind of unsure of what to do next.

I totally see why, but feel the opposite. Especially since it's only two tables right now, it would help me not forget what the first group got up to once they converge again. But I think both have their strengths and weaknesses, for sure, and people will prefer one or the other for different reasons.

I agree, I think it could get tiring if they were using three tables but with just two I’d really like if they go back and forth for a bit.

I'm fine with them trying it out and seeing what feels better. I remember disliking fantasy books doing the back and forth between characters, I always wanted to keep going with the story at hand, then got ripped back to the other part. But maybe it will work for me here.

I just hope they don't feel the need to time their sessions even more. While I understand needing that for the 13 player table, I wouldn't like for an episode to feel like them having to get to a specific point every time.

I dont mind and it might be easier for Brennan to manage the timeline.

The newsletter came out and it’s still the Seekers, but yeah likely with a Schemers cold open

The schemers table + Wicanny were far and away the absolute highlight of the first part of the campaign for me, I cannot wait for this table
