it's the fact that this arc is wholly built on suffering, torture and anguish, but that entire section of merle choosing what to give up had me dying laughing 😭

The scene where Merle loses his memory of The woodsman gets me every time

To me these elves have the same vibe as Mettaton EX from Undertale. Like even his boss song "Death by Glamour" fits these scenes.

Everyone saying Griffin is sadistic is completely missing the point and has probably never played d&d before. Without sacrifice and struggle there is no point in playing. Pain comes from life and how much you love living. That’s what makes it so important.

I think the idea is prob you wanted to minimize suffering by any group by choosing trust, as they are only ones who will suck it up on the complaining and it'll affect boss fight difficulty at end. Also feel like theres foreshadowing on betrayal by cam given hi always choose forsake advice.

Hey Griffin? What the fuck?

Wait, what enclave. Wasn't Merle a merc when he was younger? I guess that could have been Magnus, but I seem to remember if was Merle.

I know that DM's are supposed to provide a challenging environment to keep the game interesting, but does anyone else think that Griffin is just really sadistic towards his dad and sibs during a lot of these later arcs of the balance story? I mean, it really feels like they get really annoyed with him and he couldn't care less and just continues to lay it on.

Was never a fan of the brothers’ aggressive atheism phase.

Hell if Justin doesnt want to play any more kill Taako off and let someone else come in as a different character maybe one of the wives

This arc is a buzzkill. Griffin's getting on my nerves.

I'm not really enjoying this arc that much. Yeah i know its suppose to be raising the stakes but its not coming across that fun and its reflected in the players none of them seem to be having very much fun this arc. The no healing thing is so stupid just seems like he is trying to kill them. And Having listened to all the episodes till now i stand by that Griffin is way harsher on Clint than the others and they all kinda gang up on him needlessly he's just too nice to really put them in their place. And yes i have played D&D before 2 different campaigns i am allowed to think Griffin is a bit of brat DM at times especially this arc.

I think that it looked like he was trying to kill them because he was trying to kill them it was his goal to make them suffer so he did just that make them suffer and try to kill them. Also them doing that is their family dynamic. I know that in my family my siblings and I all gang up on my Mom because we think it's funny and that's how our family works. And my Mom thinks it's funny to. Diffirent families have different dynamics. Also if Clint had a problem with how they were treating him he would have commented on it and had it revised or redid the episode. But that's just how I see it.
