Thoughts: DCA 16-31

Thoughts: Dice, Camera, Action Episodes 16-31

#WaffleCrew (2nd Half of Season 1)
I continued my quest of constantly using my free time to listen to/watch Dice, Camera, Action in my spare time and finished up "Season 1" of the show. I enjoyed these episodes even more than the first half of Season 1.

Unlike when he DMs Acquisitions, Incorporated - Chris Perkins actually looked up spell descriptions and rules during these sessions; for some reason, I really like seeing the more human side of his DMing.

The regular crew members were on their game:
Holly Conrad as Strix, a tiefling sorcerer;
Anna Prosser Robinson as Evelyn the human paladin of Lathander;
Jared Knabenbauer as Diath the human rogue; and
Nathan Sharp as Paultin the human bard.

At this point, the players had really grown into their characters and thus had fun playing out their unique personalities and being playful with the tension between them. One of the episodes was actually a live play at a convention (with the players in costume), which is always fun:


The guest stars were even better and more interesting than the first half of the season, with several of them returning and a new surprise with professional actor Sam Witwer playing the "Mad Mage" Mordenkainen in a couple of the episodes. Witwer's voice/accent and phrases were hilarious and perfect for the character since he portrayed he as an old grognard.

They finished Curse of Strand and, ***SPOILERS*** escaped Barovia in the finale ***END SPOILERS***. Thus it leads to Episode 32 starting with the team playing part of Storm King's Thunder...
