I know there’s been a few posts on it already, but godsdamn Travis was clutch in last night’s game
Not Chetney. Chetney didn’t do shit. (jk)
But Travis Willingham. the player. the CEO. the fan.
He got his shit absolutely ganked in round 1. Fully dead. Before he got a turn. I’ve seen players rage quit after that. Hell, i’ve been a player that rage quit after that.
And he hung around, making jokes and talking strategy until he was like “ooh, a burger” and got his noms on until he was brought back up
When a TPK looked imminent, he told Matt it was okay. He knew they could move on, even from that. He was a calm and comforting presence at the table.
when Sam pulled the hail mary, he was the only one not yelling, crying, or both. He, in the moment, let his appreciation for the big move and the killer story beat shine through.
Travis did a hellova job last night, and it was easy to see why he captains the ship, and he’s someone i strive to be like as a player, a gm, and a friend
I love that Bell’s Hells straight up befriended an elderly orc man who doubles as their favorite employer and also bakes them cookies when they do jobs for him and is genuinely touched that they appreciate his baked goods.
It doesn’t hurt that he is incredibly cool and works out in a sleeveless vest and is a good person who wants to do good things.
Seeing how so many of Vox Machina went on to become rich and famous world leaders, while The Mighty Nein embodied "If you do the job right, no one will know you did anything,"
I'm kind of hoping that in the end, Bells Hells will be notorious. The kinds of people who have youtube conspiracy videos about them, and make historians Deep Sigh. Everyone's heard of them, but what they are and if they ever really existed is up for debate
