Looks like the IMDb schedule for mighty Nein is probably correct

But Julien has also been slowly turning him against his family given his hatred for Thjazi.

I wonder what he’d think of his parents now.

I’m also curious how Alogar ended up training under Julien. Clearly he’s not close to his family since he didn’t show up for the funeral.

Maybe he went to house Royce to train and ended up under Julien because he’s the best.

I know we haven’t got much of Kattigan yet but he very much reminds of the archetype of a soldier who came home from Vietnam but his mind is still very much there. PTSD and an inability to reintegrate into society.

How most stories end when the revolution is won. They don’t linger on the work of building what comes next. How that hope and promise turns into jockeying for power and who decides the future to come.

I’m older and I’m thinking about how the promise of the hippie generation became the yuppies of the 80s and the boomers grasping to hold onto power now

My first Campaign 4 art, and as is tradition, I came up with my own takes on the characters going mostly from the in-game descriptions & vibes during the first episode as a fun character design challenge that I do each campaign

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleArt #CriticalRolefanart #fanart #bskyart

A very large illustration of all 13 of the main cast all with their reactions to Thjazi's execution. The designs are different from the canon ones, some more than others.
