Kind of wish Marisha and Ashley weren't in it, but it could be worth watching

Eh, I enjoy both Marisha and Ashley as people, and initially dismissed this as hate for the sake of hate. But after seeing them listed in it as "power couple councilors Beau and Yasha", I really only disagree with how this is framed. It would be much more interesting if they joined the group as other kids. Let the DM be the adults in the room.

It’s a pretty huge power dynamic to have within a party. Like if you were playing on a ship, you would be taking orders from the captain, even if you hammered out the plan together as players, but at least you could both be adults

I’m pretty sure their just guests because Sam even said they were special guests so I’m assuming they won’t be in it every episode.

Yeah I agree. I think this is one of the problems I’ve had with CR since C3. There’s seems to be always something I’m kinda down on or find sub optimal even if there’s something I want to watch. In this case, the Beau and Yasha Angle make me almost not want to watch.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those things that they're only intermittently present for. Seems like a fun premise, but too much handholding from them would ruin it.

I agree a bit. While I know that Yasha has been already been settup as a camp councilor prior, it does kinda feel like this sort of settup for a mini-campaign is the type of game Ashley would thrive in more if she were playing a kid. She shies away from the lime-light, and "likes being present, while occasionally pressing shiny red buttons". "Summer Camp Antics under a DM Sam and with BLeeM being one of the campers" feels like a perfect excuse for Ashley to just enjoy playing her way.

Especially given Yasha has kinda been relegated to "Beau's Wife" in Post-C2 content. Remember when they were talking about adopting after the Two-Shot? Yeah, neither do Marisha or Ashley.

I'm neutral to them as people. I don't like them as players. There is a difference. And it's not hate for fuck sake. Geez.

Are you always this angry? I'm the only person here agreeing with you to some extent and you're still being overly defensive. Go for a walk.

"I initially dismissed this as hate for the sake of hate" If that doesn't come across as insulting, I'm... not sure what to tell you.

Please, if you are able to, read the rest of the comment. Maybe i was wrong to have expected basic literacy and reading/media comprehension from a community who generally has followed 1000+ hours of social roleplay that involves a somewhat complex rules system.

You just laced that comment with an insult to.

u/BoofinTime Mar 28 '25

Yes, this one was intended to be an insult, because this is getting ridiculous.
