      There's a concept from the Hyperion scifi series of houses that are made of rooms built on far-flung planets all connected by stargate-like portals. You end up with a breakfast nook floating on an ocean planet, a porch on Tattooine, your library in deep space with a view of a beautiful dust cloud, etc, all with different gravities.

      I think, and hear me out here, I know this is crazy, but I think those are just called big houses. I know they're generally accepted as mythical among the LA rental market, but I have it on good authority that Taliesin got a great rent control deal from the original owners of the property. He taught them how to hunt woolly mammoths and which bits to burn to satiate That Which Writhes Beneath The Flesh, so they were like, yeah fair trade, you can have it for 4500 a month. True story.

And every message she counts out 25 words before having a small aside about how hard Sending is to use etc. then stopping before she gets to her point because she's out of spell slots. I can imagine everyone 'vamping' for a bit, then running out of words in the message etc.

    I love how in Liam's version Chutney is absolutely senile he can't even remember his own scheme.

    Aabria lowkey has an enchanting storytelling style, I bet having her as a Dm would be incredible

    This story more than most stayed pretty close for the first few. Sam, Taliesin, and Liam all lost just a little bit, Matt dropped a bit more, but then we got to Ashley/Marisha and the story fell off a CLIFF

      Liam messed it up the most this time not Matt
      Ashley didn’t do bad with what she got, but then Marisha turned it into a forest adventure 💀

    Taliesin's reaction after seeing Travis' story was priceless, "What the living F*CK Travis!?"

    In terms of this game, Aabria is like a genetically modified hybrid of Matt and Sam: she goes full DM mode with extra imagery and scene-setting, but also just adds random details that were never there like Sam does 😂 When the storyteller is chaotic aligned.

    I love that Chutney was almost at full Gollum when Ashley brought him all the way to Slingblade.

    After watching Aabria retell this story and just OBLITERATING it with amazing descriptors and near Shakespearean levels of embellishments, the CR cast is gonna have a terrible time next month when she tells her story.

    Aabria was great! Every guest they've had this season has been a delightful and unique addition to the chaos.

    I. . . I love Aabria. She's so wonderful and you can so tell that she's caught up and knows what she's doing. Also adore everyone's evil elf chuckles lol its kept me laughing the whole time.

    So apparently this is canon now, Chutney somehow found a way into Exandria.
