yes critical analysis of media is super valuable but I think suspension of disbelief isn't practiced enough
"the beginning relied so much on fate/chance meetings/a bizarre set of circumstances that could have solved the conflict if avoided" babe that's an inciting incident

Loving that Brennan used his DM senses to remind his fellow players of a slight detail that could later be used against them. While Aabria just went ���what would be the most insane shit a player could do that I would hate as a DM?” and then immediately fired an eldritch blast into a busy courtyard to crush a man with yam dominos.
POLAR opposite ends of the DM-as-player spectrum

Between the teaser trailer and the How It Began, we got nice shots of all these figures at the front of the GM screen frontpiece. The figures are clearly invoking religious weight, and the screen overall takes a lot of elements from the Catholic-esque feeling of the Bulbian Church (note: censer at left and chalice at right).
So, naturally, I've gotta make some guesses for inspirations here.

First, we've got Moses coming down from Mount Sinai with the Commandments, with clear inspiration from Gustave Doré down to draping.

The pecan appears to be Mary under her title of Rosa Mystica, the Mystic Rose. (The statue at right has a hood, the angle just obscures it.) It's a bit of a niche pull, but the roses at the lapels is distinctive.

Easy one. Our favorite sexy male saint, Sebastian.

Could be multiple women but the funniest possibility is Lucy due to popular association between carrots and eyesight, though she's more often depicted with the sword through her neck. Other possibilities: Catherine of Alexandria (left), Barbara (middle), or Dymphna (right). Crowns in Christian iconography indicate martyrdom, so there's a lot of swords and crowns.

Now, I have no idea why these particular image touchstones (or possible ones in the last case), or even if there IS a reason, but maybe the series itself will shed some light on that one.

I know Colin technically has 6 charisma, but I don’t think Zac is capable of playing a low charisma character. Colin has one million billion charisma to me. I want to drag him with me everywhere like a fashionable accessory. I want to put him in my bookshelf and pull him out when I’m having a bad day. I want to hear how he’d defend my car if it was ambushed.
