kindkitI'm partway through the Ancient Rome Sidequest of the Rusty Quill Gaming podcast, and I find myself picturing Alex saying to himself "What this fun and pulpy storyline needs is more moral ambiguity!!" And cackling. (ETA: Alex is--in my imagination--cackling. Not me.)
Further ETA: Having listened to the rest of the sidequest, I'm definitely not cackling. Ouch.
I do wonder what might have happened if it hadn't been for a combination of bad rolls and poor judgment. Might Grizzop and Sasha have changed history? And might they have found a way back to their own time?
Also, I choose to believe that Sasha did not in any way marry Cicero and have a bunch of kids with him. Cicero is her assistant and they're running a school for acrobats and/or thieves.
(And to be fair to Alex, despite his obvious fondness for playing the sadistic god, he seemed pretty upset at having killed off a--mostly--good and likeable character.)

Re: Hopefully not too spoilery to say
Date: 2020-03-10 02:41 am (UTC)As soon as Alex started giving the description of the big house full of children, and Cicero's there, it was the first thing that came to my mind. Along with "oh, no, do not want." I don't think it's what he was trying to imply, but (acknowledging that he was improvising) he could have been clearer. He's joked about having a tendency to accidentally leave out important details when describing things, and I think this was an example.
