10th anniversary commentary stream notes

## Episode 2

-Demonac had more plans for B'ob, but things changed when they teleported to Vistria.

-Dwarves don't fish much, and there aren't a lot of Dwarven sailors, because Dwarves all hate the sea and boats. Yes, even the sailors. Ships are an unfortunate necessity for getting essential supplies, and are generally slow and heavily armoured. Not ironclads, though. It's not like they have steam. Wooden sailing ships covered in armour.

## Episode 3

-The Batman image whenever he says Warforged Robot Lumberjack comes from the B:TAS episode with the robot duplicate of Batman. It's to illustrate the word "robot".

-Aquacommon has been retconned out of existence, now that there's a proper explanation for the existence of Common.

## Episode 4

-Not commentary, but just a note to self that there are pictures of the then-kings of the Three Brother Nations in this episode.

## Episode 5

-Marp's sword was probably only +1 - Demonac's notes weren't great at the start, as he wasn't planning to make TDDC yet.

-Naf had a piece of armour that could generate a blur effect (the sand cloud), which would have been great for Angel if he hadn't fled. This was something of a trend, as Spring Attack Guy in the Drow Mines also got away despite having good gear for Angel.

-There's a lot of Dwarven racism against Warforged. This is why the Dwarves never mentioned Temple 1 and Temple 2 to The Party - they're seen as being effectively appliances.

## Episode 9

-The Warforged Robot Lumberjack was Epsilon's escape plan for if his Temple 1 body was too damaged to escape in.

## Episode 13

-WFDF's jacket is loosely based on Terry's from Batman Beyond. Sort of a cross beteeen that and one that the Batman Beyond police sometimes wear.

## Episode 14

-When Demonac says the goo person is an abomination, he meant to say aberration.

## Episode 15

-The brothers' faces come from tracing a tiger's face, but this was modified for the other Rahjs.

-Decerebrate is a level 7 power. That was probably already be in the Extras, but I'll make a note here just in case.

-There was a plan in place to allow The Party to save anybody who was decerebrated.

## Episode 16

-One of the spoons was from the ancient Sahaguin empire (I assume the one they got from B'ob). It was "probably divine".

## Episode 17

-The Deluvians looted Lady V's hoard after she died. It was just Deathfin V who didn't care about the treasure.

-They never remembered Black's mace's "buff on crits" ability. Maybe once. It was 4 temp HP.

## Episode 19

-It wasn't shown, but Draven went to 2-5 parties to show up Grey Beach.

## Episode 21

-Although it was originally an art error, it is now canon that Jonasson has a Drow ancestor.

-The giant Orc is intentional foreshadowing of Ka-Jord. He really can enlarge, but it doesn't work exactly the same way as Shadow K-J did.

## Episode 22

-The 1st person shot from Beta's POV was in reference to the beginning of Robot, the first Tom Baker episode of Doctor Who.

-The therefore symbol all over the golems is a Ghost in the Shell reference.

-They were originally meant to meet Father Fields in the south, before they unexpectedly teleported away.

## Episode 23

-Not all colos cloaks are cloaks. They can be other types of clothing.

Second video:

## Episode 27

-The "King" of Rogues was actually a woman. She called herself the King of Rogues to throw people off. Apparently historical figures being misremembered as men is fairly common. For some reason, this makes me wonder about Smith, even though we saw him in Saga of Balvan.

## Episode 32

-The Goo People don't tend to show up a lot "on the surface".

-If The Party had gone a very short distance past where they fought the goo people, they would have met Lady Myulana.

## Episode 40

-The Strategic Withdrawal Unit is launched through the lava.

-It was never established at the table whether or not Black really has children.

## Episode 42

-The fire elementals fadeer summons are not the same type as the ones from the Epsilon boss fight. It's just Demonac being lazy with art assets.

## Episode 45

-The encounter with Lady M mentioned in the ep 32 notes would have been in her actual lair, treasure horde and all. I guess the desert is as good a place for a dragon lair as any.

-Darius isn't exactly the most important hero in history. Sleeping with dragons is probably at the top of his achievement list. Not a bard, though. Demonac hates that stereotype.

-If the seed had been empowered using the ley line, it would have become a "magma tree" in the basement of Polaron. Yes, he called it a basement. It wouldn't have fully cured the plague, so they'd have to keep returning to it for treatment.

## Episode 46

-That's Pelor's sun on Balvan's shield, not Blibaal's maw.

## Episode 47

-If they'd just crossed the bridge, they would have found a wand of magic missile, so Draven wouldn't have had to waste the XP to make a scroll.

## Episode 49

-Quill mentions in the chat that the group refers to itself OOC as "TKK", standing for "The KT Killers".

-When Swayne "blasted apart" the lich's deathguard, it was the Curse of Netharin. They must have been so confused two rounds later when they re-emerged.

-Draven has a generic VK statblock prepared, as well as modified versions for "some of" them. I assume Swayne and Cornello.

-Demonac made the animation of the grisgol rising out of the treasure for the actual game, and showed it to the players at the table during the session they fought it.

## Episode 50

-While it IS the case that The PArty could have beaten Swayne, they'd have had to ve \*very\* lucky with die rolls. It would have been about a 1% chance.

-As to the seeking bolt "Missing? Not a large concern."

-Rygax's prestige class comes from Complete Mage. Somebody in chat suggested Eldritch Disciple, and Demonac said it could be.

## Episode 51

-Little One picked up Liz before leaving with Chrysanthemum.

-Demonac made a Heroforge model of Krillidin and ran it by Launchpad before drawing it into TDDC. He said it was perfect and had no notes.

-Kaiser/Viktor's "hand" being 2-pair was not a coincidence.

## Episode 54

-Rygax's Mezania's telepathic range is measurable in inches.

-The Plains of Maznos are like an elephant's graveyard for giants. Which raises some interesting questions about giant culture.

## Episode 55

-"If you run into any Rakshasha that's not one of these four [Rahjs], they're going to be an arsehole". In other words, there are no other Rahjs. Or if there are, they're a-holes.

## Episode 56

-The "slug with a spear through it" symbol is the hyroglyph for "communication or message or something". Demonac is not an Egyptologist.

-Deathmoor's finger beam is just a reflavoured Finger of Death.

## Episode 57

-Al would have kept his word and let them go if they'd killed Rygax.

## Episode 58

-(In the chat) Episode 66 took place in 2015.

-Demonac didn't intend the "any one of you still alive" loophole.

-(In the chat) The scarred blue dragon is Lord Paragos

## Episode 60

-Demonac isn't saying there's no tarrasque just in case he changes his mind later, but he doesn't really like the concept so there probably isn't one.

-Vladimir has been to the Realm of the Albtraum. He told Cornello in no uncertain terms never to do so, so it's a fair bet that he hasn't. There may have been another King who has done so, but this is not confirmed (given proximity and intense boredom, I suspect Swayne).

-The Headless Horseman is actually female.

-Krillidin is a fighter with the arcane archer prestige class. His INT is too low for him to cast spells, although he is technically a lvl 1 wizard in order to qualify for the prc.

-Tentacle casters aren't immune to all acid, only their own acid.

## Episode 63

-There's at least half as much SoS content as there was for TDDC1.

-When the Horseman throws her chain up at Draven, there's about a frame and a half (how do you have half a frame?) of green lightning shooting into the seed from the chain.

-In the actual game, the players knew and cared much less about the various members of The Hand than they did in the video. That Sending is the only conversation they ever really had with Giselle Kira.

-They actually picked up Liz and Rainbowdash from Polaron AFTER the final boss fight with Al, but it just makes more sense for them to do it as soon as they get back.

## Episode 64

-They didn't actually meet Kunai in the game. They were supposed to, but Demonac forgot.

-They could haveb just killed the ghost withghost touvh weapons liken ormal,v but this way was more fun.

-Draven was supposed to be wearing the black breastplate in the epilogue, but Demonac forgot.

## Episode 65

-The fate matrix buff actually started at +1, as the Rahjs had started it three rounds earlier, but it didn't kick in until The Party asked for it. Had to be timed to peak when Al went Weird, after all.

## Episode 66

-Black actually used his Close Wounds on Midgarde, not Mora, but the CW didn't save him and Mora just went below -9 using their houseruled PC death threshold rules. Doing it this way saves Demonac from having to explain those rules to the audience again.

-Lightning resistance is halved against the Alb-knight. This didn't really come up, though, because they didn't cast Mass Resist Electricity for some reason. Technically Little One has 5 electrical resistance but, well, meh.

-Al wasn't destroyed, but Asmodeus won't be letting him expand his realm for a couple of centuries at least.

Daggerface: Stealth:

-WDF is only made of a mithril alloy. He's not pure mithril.
