I don’t know if any of y’all watch Critical Role but it’s been literal months and I’m still painfully sad about Mollymauk and I expect I will be for the rest of my life or at least the next, say, eight years. This is probably a disproportionate reaction to a fictional story but I don’t have much else to get upset about and it’s extremely rare I get that attached to a character anymore. The worst part is I can’t get properly angry because I’ve enjoyed this game’s “death is possible” tension for a long time but that was when the characters were a high enough level to have a fair shot. It just really sucks and I’m trying to catch up on the show but this is always going to be a huge blemish for me. Anyway none of that is relevant to anybody but i was thinking about it.

I haven't watched the second campaign yet but I understand the emotion involved. I'm only somewhere in the first half of the campaign but every death, no matter how temporary, gets to me. I can't imagine what a permanent one will do to me. [offers hugs]

I mean, I am team Permanent Character Death Is Overrated In TTRPGs, so you know how I feel about this. I get why it happened, but I still think it fuckin sucks.

thank you for supporting me as i flip out over this at regular intervals

[ang]

I mean, it's more understandable than the dumb shit I flip out about at random intervals.

As much as I love Caduceus, I really do miss Molly a ridiculous amount. It surprised me just how hard it hit me to lose him especially since, as you said, it was the first death where there wasn't at least a chance of resurrection.

i was saying on twitter yesterday that molly really felt driven by passion, like a character taliesin had been building forever and longing to play and had thought deeply about. and caduceus necessarily couldn't be that. so i'm very sad :(

Yeah, I said this on Twitter, but since not everyone follows both our twitters, i'll reiterate it here that, like, I love Caduceus and he's a good character, but you can tell that Taliesin spent like six months developing Molly and had to create Caduceus over a weekend. I feel like this does mean that a few months from now we'll get more Caduceus depth and maybe grow to love him as much as we loved Molly, but it makes a lot of sense that we all miss Molly so much.
