2024-05-13 00:06:38 +0000 UTCI thought it was very in character for Gillion to be led by his sense of justice but ultimately buckle under the pressure of having others' lives in his hands. He just wanted everyone to be okay and wasn't equipped for the responsibility, being forced by a higher power to make choices for others. Which is like. His whole thing. Charlie may have felt bad for botching the mystery but in character I thought it was excellent for Gillion. Chip is my special little meowmeow and I want to pick his brain apart with a spoon. I absolutely love the way he is driven by emotion in everything he does, including when he runs from them. Guy is soooo traumatized, even if he had some of it surgically removed, he can't just become functional. Everything that makes him tick is so specific and I love coming to these episodes and hearing Bizly say it was all on purpose. Jay fucking slayed the mystery she's so smart and hot and I'm glad she and Anastasia didn't die because that would have been Bury Your Gays :/ Though I guess digging them back up is a condolence and also hot. My brain melts every time she's near a woman sorry. For real though, she did a great job. Grizzly I wuv u. This mystery was awesome, I was super angry every time I had to pause the episode and go to work because I was DYING to see what happened next. Every npc was so memorable and the vibes were impeccable. Each PC was rly able to play in the space and be themselves, even if those selves were not people who are good at myseries lol.

2024-02-20 06:21:56 +0000 UTCwhen i realized that people were actually dying when gillion was the detective, my anxiety shot through the roof LMFAO i literally couldnt even try to figure out who it was because i just kept thinking that it could be literally anyone, the clues werent enough, the detective didnt know how the game worked until like 3 people were already dead like HOLY SHIT good episode 10/10

2023-10-08 07:03:28 +0000 UTCabsolutely loved this episode!! i wonder how it could have played out if chip, jay, or gill were randomly chosen to be either the murderer amogus imposter style and they didn’t even know it due to the blackouts each round, or if one of them ended up killed during the game— that wouldve added a whole new layer of tension and severity and id love to imagine an alternate ending where that happened lol. Anyway i LOVE this episode, the tension was perfectly suspenseful and everyone was so in-character. ik charlie didnt like that he was confused but i mean, gillion himself was confused, so it just felt natural with how gillion acted trying to save the day but out of his depth. Also chips coping mechanism and jay doing her best to investigate, it was perfect. you’re an incredible dm grizzly!! <33

2023-06-04 19:56:24 +0000 UTCI'm so confused as to why grizzly thought he did this episode poorly. This was my favorite episode of the entire campaign so far, it's amazing!

2022-10-01 05:49:51 +0000 UTCDUDE SAME I DONT EVEN REALLY HAVE A REAL REFERENCE FOR WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE BUT OMG SHES PRETTY. Then again I freak out for any amount of representation in media I like
lostincarcosa
2022-09-12 01:51:14 +0000 UTCI'm not the brightest. Puzzles are not my strong suit. I tried my best to follow along, but bro the whole time I was focused on Anastasia. My poor lesbian soul is LIVING. For Jay+ Anastasia -Legit though. This was an epic session and I am 100% taking notes from my own campaign
LifesComplicated
2022-04-20 04:47:41 +0000 UTCTo be fair, I previously had a forensics unit in my biotech class so maybe I had an advantage. So, like, from a scientific standpoint, the tortle was the prime POI frame one. Amazing clues, Grizzly, very good mystery
Keyia
2022-04-16 21:55:07 +0000 UTCI will say, the only red herring I noticed was the theft, which I quickly abandoned after I dismissed the kenku as a suspect. All the other clues I hooked on to seemed to point to the tortle, which was rather convenient on my part.
Keyia
2022-04-16 21:52:35 +0000 UTCMy condolences on the British thing, it must be difficult. Wishing you the best of luck 🙏

2022-04-16 21:40:05 +0000 UTCthis episode was absolutely fantastic and i rlly enjoyed playing along with the characters and trying to solve the murder! I actually did figure out it was the tortle! i dont know if this was intentional but after the first murder, Gillion asked if anyone had candles and the tortle said he had matches. i thought that was kinda normal but added it to my list i was making anyway. However, as soon as the ashes were found i IMMEDIATELY connected it to the matches because that was the only character that mentioned anything that could possibly produce ashes. then Gillion said someone must be smoking and i knew matches could light a pipe. ALSO I NOTICED after they saw the knife belonged to Maddagger, the kenku actually looks towards the tortle worriedly and later we lean the kenku is an observer and knows a lot, so i thought maybe they knew the tortle had gotten this dagger. Of course that could have just been a coincidence and not intentional but i found it interesting. And ofc as soon as Anastasia said not everyone is as they seem i guessed the tortle because who would suspect an old man with kind eyes lol But seriously this was such a fun concept! I enjoyed every moment of it

2022-04-14 07:08:45 +0000 UTCI thought it was Griffin the entire time because he was so quiet

2022-04-12 22:24:09 +0000 UTCMy favorite part of just rolled with it is listening to y’all hype each other up

2022-04-12 18:59:20 +0000 UTCY’all need to know how much I loved this episode- I know you’re all stressed that you think you didn’t do a good job but I LOVED this episode. My brother listened to it before me and he’s been hounding me to watch it bc I’m apeshit for this stuff Loved the mystery, loved the bits, loved all of it <33

2022-04-12 18:42:47 +0000 UTCI thought it was gonna be Anastasia but I’m glad it wasn’t cause she was hot and I Liked her so thank you grizzly

2022-04-11 05:00:05 +0000 UTCthis episode was sick, I love mysteries, but I suck at them so I was sus of everyone. Also I was really exceted for the drow elf guy cos I play one, so sad that he died before any interaction with him :(

2022-04-08 06:24:51 +0000 UTCbro I fucking loved this episode it was so much fun trying to follow along and piece it together and the characters were so much FUN too
Andante
2022-04-07 00:01:47 +0000 UTCi thought it was the turtle as soon as grizz mentioned the kind eyes but i feel like i still went through the journey of trying to figure it out with the characters if that makes sense. like in my mind i was crossing people out as we went along trying to see if i got it right the first time. it was a super fun episode to listen to i was on the edge of my seat the entire time

2022-04-05 19:44:24 +0000 UTCAlso I have no idea how two men can play gay women so well I am going APESHIT for Jay and Anastasia!

2022-04-05 18:47:59 +0000 UTCI LOVED listening to this episode— From the beginning it was so immersive and magical (don’t even get me started on how great the world building is) and it was not frustrating to listen to at all. I had NO CLUE it was the tortle, every red herring planted I fell for it but that’s what made it so fun to listen to! I was trying to solve the murder and I was failing just as bad as gill 😭 and I think Charlie did an amazing job of playing gill in this episode. I’m pretty sure Gill did not have many chances to make decisions for himself as a child, which shows in his character as he still doesn’t entirely know how to make responsible decisions for himself, let alone for the good of a room of strangers. I loved chips brittish coping mechanism and sincerely believe that Rebbeca’s death is gonna be Chip’s joker origin story, and Grizzly this was a phenomenal episode! I have no idea how you made this to be so entrancing and mystical, but I had the best time listening to this episode! I adored all the npc’s and they did not seem at all like side characters, they felt so real, my favorites were Ban and Railyn (and Anastasia and Griffin) (and all of them tbh)

2022-04-05 09:34:06 +0000 UTCGrizzly goated with the sauce no cap
Jesse Sheckler
2022-04-05 01:01:18 +0000 UTCI thought it was either the turtle or the woman who bit Jay
Shadow Cosmos314
2022-04-04 04:33:42 +0000 UTCTo be entirely fair, the second I heard “he has kind eyes” I did think it was the turtle
Shy
2022-04-04 03:29:59 +0000 UTCmy girlfriend was CONVINCED it was eve when we were watching but I was really sure it was either the kenku or marlowe so like,,, yeah anyway me and her had to pause so frequently to be like "listen to my theories" and shit oh my GODS it was so much fun!!! i don't know how you'd put another one of these mystery things in the campaign but g o d s do I want to watch more this was awesome!!!! stellar work, grizzly! /gen
aster
2022-04-03 22:19:42 +0000 UTCI totally thought it was the Kenku because of all the stolen items, but I guess I’m dumb lol
ElvishCyborg
2022-04-03 21:51:30 +0000 UTCI was leaning towards eve as the murderer, but I also expected that answer to be too “on a silver platter” considering her personality. I was suspecting the tortle since he was as far off from the initial type of person the gang was looking for, which would inherently dismiss suspicion. Also, I really loved all the characters in this episode! Raylin was super fucking cool (rip my dude bro), I loved the satyr twins and the kenku, and the inclusion of Jacko made for a great overall disturbance and red herring in the episode. :D

2022-04-03 18:28:46 +0000 UTCHeyo! I hope your doing alright Grizz. I’ve noticed that since the episodes where Bizly ran the dnd part of Prime Defenders you’ve seemed a little down. Like, when there was the misunderstanding about them disliking your campaign in the Rolled With It? Idk, I’m just a random guy on the internet listening to you play dnd, so take my words with a grain of salt. Just wanted to let you know that your an amazing DM and that I loooooove your campaigns so much, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

2022-04-03 10:39:08 +0000 UTCalso - i definitely knew it was gonna be the tortle. frame one.
scrimmyjim
2022-04-03 10:06:54 +0000 UTCi thought this episode was fucking hilarious. charlie not knowing how the game worked & fumbling around was so cohesive to gillion's character - gillion wouldn't know what the fuck mafia or werewolves is! it made it really immersive for me. i like that chip is still kind of insane as well, because it's funny in the moment but then at one in the morning when i'm thinking Jrwi Thoughts it starts to get really really sad, and isn't that exactly what it's like to be the funny friend? my favourite thing was jay being flirty with a vampire. the dance was iconic - i love when condi and jay come together to be this super charismatic woman, and i love when jay gets to have a bit of fun. i am so sad that grizzly killed that girl. so fucked up. but the game was awesome, and i love this session so much. i'll definitely be "borrowing" from this arc in my own campaign.
scrimmyjim
2022-04-03 09:56:03 +0000 UTCReal talk, as soon as you said that whoever bought the dagger was stocky, I knew it was the tortle

2022-04-03 05:35:19 +0000 UTCGrizz said in twitch chat after Grimm appears that he actually was lol
Nat
2022-04-03 04:21:40 +0000 UTCThis genuenly was the episode I was most excited about. I literally stood up outta my chair and walked around my room thinking about the clues
Spirit
2022-04-03 01:10:20 +0000 UTCI knew 1000% that the turtle guy was mad sus man, like, I read books, bro, trust me. Either way, I still really enjoyed watching the episode, Chip trauma and all. The one thing that got me a bit sad was that charlie forgot about the whole shapeshifter/mimic thing, even though he said that he locked it in.
Ryezun
2022-04-03 00:10:42 +0000 UTCThey started being wayyyy too obvious imo, at first, I thought maybe. If this is like among the best way to play is to participate but not be too obvious, not too quiet, or too loud. For bonus points, you would want to endear yourself (as subtly as possible of course) to the other players for the extra emotional backstab damage.
Ryezun
2022-04-02 23:32:03 +0000 UTCI thought it was the Satyr honestly
Dhakari Jones
2022-04-02 13:36:37 +0000 UTCI'm not bothered at all by how Gillion went about as the detective. It was honestly so funny and it doesn't come off as frustrating. It felt so in character to Gillion to me that it just fit. It was easy to digest when you see him as that way after all his usual confused sea brain.
Yami Zero
2022-04-02 10:44:52 +0000 UTCAlso, I will add that the clues were perfect, I started suspecting the turtle round 2 but I still had enough doubt to make it feel fun and interesting.
Gunkymunkyspunk
2022-04-02 07:07:53 +0000 UTCI KNEW it was the Turtle (not just saying that to make grizz feel better) and when he was revealed I was absolutely freaking out. Loved the episode guys
Carbon
2022-04-02 06:12:08 +0000 UTCAw grizzly sounds so sad after this one lol. Don't beat yourself up so much dude! It's D&D, main goal is for everyone to have a good time, not anything else :)
Ghostwise
2022-04-02 05:01:00 +0000 UTCI think the mystery had a good setup but it was to fast paced, we shouldn’t be afraid to split episodes if needed, this would’ve worked brilliantly if the mystery had time to sink in, instead it kind of felt like less of a mystery and more of random elimination. There should be less emphasis on making a hasty decision and more emphasis on deliberation and role play. I understand that time is a concern, but mystery games typically need more time to work well. That being said, I really enjoyed the episode, i loved all of the shenanigans, I just didn’t feel the mystery element that much.

2022-04-02 02:56:53 +0000 UTCsuch a fun session genuinely as a dm it was so inspiring to listen to/see play out!!<3
melonmeelon
2022-04-02 02:43:24 +0000 UTCi didn't really enjoy this one not because it was bad, but just because it made me angry. Just like the end of Dead Poet's Society, it was good but it was just so unfair to the characters that it made me mad
Die-no-mite
2022-04-02 02:01:40 +0000 UTCThis episode was insane, and I enjoyed it so much. i was literally yelling out loud the whole time, I felt so bad for poor Gillion, I lost it laughing at Chip, and all the NPCs were so cool. I didn't quite pick up that it was the old turtle man until right before they did, but that was because i was following Charlie's logic. Thank you Grizzly, this is the highlight of my week
AislinnMollisong
2022-04-02 01:28:26 +0000 UTCSince Gill was an emo detective does that make him Batman orrr?
Fly Guy
2022-04-02 01:25:55 +0000 UTCI thought Jay and gillian investigating while chip went insane was a good balance I really enjoyed this episode
Prince of Crows
2022-04-02 00:07:20 +0000 UTCDid anyone else think that Grimm was based off of Hollow knights Grimm?
Nathan Cruz
2022-04-02 00:07:17 +0000 UTCI love murder mystery and have been on the edge of my seat for weeks. It's all I would talk about to my friends and I've been playing MM in Minecraft and lots of among us to practice to see if I could sus out the murderer before the big reveal. It was so exciting to listen to and probably an episode to rewatch a ton of times
BonezMcCann
2022-04-01 22:29:52 +0000 UTCI thought it was the conjoined twins for a good bit there. With them having a connection to Bon? (Is that how you spell the name?) But then I was like "dude what if the kenku saw something or heard someone!? I was fully ready for the turtle to tank the table and break character to reveal himself in the end
BonezMcCann
2022-04-01 22:26:48 +0000 UTCI think the session went well all things considered. As a person who GMs mystery sessions/arcs often, Grizzly did great. Everything after handing the players their clues is out of his hands, so he shouldn't beat himself up that much. It was frustrating having connected a few of the dots early on, but the players did not seem to do so, but it was made up by the RP being as fun and wild as it is. The players seemed to have fun so that is what is important at the end of the day. The only criticisms/questions that I got are, were the players getting hints on who did it reliant on how well they rolled? And if so, if the players rolled badly throughout the whole mystery party was there another way they could get their hints for who did? Or would it not be solved and would allow the NPC to kill everyone till there is no one left? (I feel this can be answered via the GM notes for this session later on, now that I think about it) [ADDED] Also, the red herrings really did seem to be going somewhere, I guess that is the point of it being “red herrings,” but I’m wondering if it is safe to assume that Anastasia saying that some actions might be a cover-up to the actual culprit & the fact that she said that not everyone is as they seem is some sort of hint to the actual killer or just a throwaway line?

2022-04-01 22:08:42 +0000 UTCI legit thought "wouldn't it be funny if it was the old man" and stuck with it. Awesome session Grizz! 👏

2022-04-01 21:55:16 +0000 UTCThe kind eyes made me go "Its not him" as a joke, and then i started believing it

2022-04-01 20:45:00 +0000 UTCThis was honestly probably one of my favorite episodes
Kolby
2022-04-01 19:20:07 +0000 UTCI did not get that it was Marlo, I was too invested in the red herrings and it all did add up in the end but I think was just too dumb to put it together tbh. Overall tho I loved this session a lot! Each of the characters were unique and I loved the descriptions of everything, especially the outfits, the style was so good! Grizzly keeps improving as a DM and each session keeps getting better and it’s so cool to see!!!
DefinitelyNotATurtle
2022-04-01 19:12:04 +0000 UTCI loved the entirety of the murder mystery party. The outfits, the description, the characters, just the fucking vibe was amazing. Grizz did an amazing job and I purposely fail a check for the zone of truth for that because that is the whole truth.
