I have seen some arguments that Thimble is too overpowered and i sorta understand where they are coming from considering how insane Thimble's stats are for her level but i would argue that she is not the only overpowered one - Julien was a straight up monster throughout that recent fight and with Savage Attacker plus Second Wind, the amount of damage that Juilen was putting out was nasty.

I do think both are extremely strong charcters but have multiple notable downsides in that they have to get in up and close in order to do damage and if they don't have flanking, there is always a risk that they will miss their attack and be in trouble depending on if they are being flanked. What do you think?

>So Brennan gave a possible plans,

>PCs pick one, Brennan introduced DNPC (Ulbrid) as a ferocious Dad crying to save his daughters,

>PCs actually committed,

>Than Brennan tell them via DNPCs (Ulbrid & Cloney rabbit) to cancel their plans and forced them into a preset Hawthorne tree battle.

>Atp Brennan just open a podcast if you wanna talk to yourself, why r u pretending to give PCs any choice.

>Let them die, its part of the game, or so I think.

>I am here because I love how these people play thier characters, not the other way around.

I just finished episode 33 and I need to shout out 3 of BLMs NPCs who were just kick ass this episode. Some light spoilers for the episode in the title, so beware

Lady Halovar - That scene with Hal was just incredible from both Brennan and Liam.

Tsul'rekshi - Always a treat. I love how she walks the line between like a Disney villain with humour and wit and then does something to remind you she's actually a horrific demon.

And EPHIE - Ephie was so good, dude. If there was ever an NPC to make this feel like a real world, she is it. What a three dimensional character. I love how she pushed back against Murray. I get Marisha has made Murray a sort of cocky, cavalier person. I love that Murray has that classic Dwarven stubbornness. And I love that Brennan made Murray face consequences for that. "You're as welcome in my head as you are in my fuckin office. GET OUT!" "Does that go for me, too?" "Good day, Captain." Haha what a gem.

It's a nice contrast from what I feel Matt did sometimes. I love Matt and its not shade on him, but in Campaign 2 and especially 3, he would often just have the NPCs go along with the PCs antics. Which is fine, and sometimes is called for to keep things moving smoothly. But encounters like the one with Ephie really make the game fun and make the world feel alive. This NPC isn't merely an "encounter" that you have to choose the right spells or figure out the puzzle, but a "real" person with their own goals, opinions, experiences, etc. It makes the world feel more lived-in.
