No! No, no no no 😭😭😭 I can’t believe it’s over and there’s no more magic! That’s not why I listen! Omg what a sensitive and amazing ending, I am genuinely crying! What an amazing story and performance, this kept me going through the last two years of Coronavirus shenanigans. Thank you all. Xxxx

Lauren
2021-12-04 01:58:23 +0000 UTCOh Lord I just realized RQ could do years and years of one-shot RPGs, each set in a distinct context derived from all the wild post-Myriad consequences...
Space Modulator
2021-12-02 23:05:36 +0000 UTCIt's been over a day and I'm still processing it... Outstanding work, brilliant story! I can't wait for the epilogues (there's SO much to be covered!) <3<3<3

Cyan
2021-12-02 07:25:34 +0000 UTCJust WOW! Glad everyone made it but kinda disappointed Hamid won't get to be a real dragon some day. Gotta say, hearing Zolf go all the way off was spectacular
Lizzy_belle
2021-12-02 06:34:30 +0000 UTCWow!!! What a ride! I’m so happy to be here with everyone at the end. Thanks for crafting such a great story, this feels like such a satisfying conclusion! I’m so proud of how far the LOLOMG group has come, and am so happy the whole party is alive and well. Gonna miss the crew and the campaign, but am really looking forward to epilogue content 💕 also, now that wilde can’t prestidigitate, sounds like he’s really gonna have to Be Fine for real ;)

2021-12-02 04:47:31 +0000 UTCAlexander you *very rude word.* but I respect your craft. Well done, y’all. Now I can relisten all the way through in one go. Looking forward to the metacasts after this! 👌🏻👌🏻 Thank you to all of you for giving me motivation and inspiration to get into GMing my own rpg!!

Lark
2021-12-02 02:32:38 +0000 UTCEveryone came out alive 😭 Makes sense that magic would be gone seeing as it's supposed to be a draw on other planes. Still my favorite tabletop podcast 💖 Thank you so much RQG crew!
CarpeFish
2021-12-02 01:51:41 +0000 UTCI don't know what I was expecting. But I think my mind is as broken as everyone else's will be. I can't stop thinking about how many things will be affected. There's so much that needs to be covered epilogue. I have so many questions, so many consequences. Alex you evil genius, how much you have done! Thank you
Julia Robins
2021-12-02 01:22:22 +0000 UTCI’m so thankful for epilogue content. 🥲 I already miss this podcast.
Kristin Urbanski
2021-12-02 01:12:43 +0000 UTCThis is nothing like I was expecting but I loved it anyway. I wasn't here for the beginning of this story, but I feel so lucky that I got to experience the end with everyone in real time. Thank you all so much. This story and these characters have brought me so much joy.
Marie
2021-12-01 23:24:37 +0000 UTCCan't believe its all over. ;v; it was fantastic, what a great ride.
Marimo
2021-12-01 23:01:11 +0000 UTCOkay now that I’ve had time to process. I just wanted to say TMA may have been what introduced me to Rusty Quill but I stayed and got invested because of RQG. This podcast has gotten me through much of the pandemic and I can not thank you enough for the 200 plus episodes you all have given us. This has been an amazing adventure and this ending had me lost for words in a very good way! Thank you so much again ❤️
SpaceFeather
2021-12-01 20:54:23 +0000 UTCI need to know what happened to Brutor's friends and the community of awaken animals!
Klauz Jamfield
2021-12-01 20:40:19 +0000 UTCThank you for such an amazing podcast 💛 Just wanted to note (spoiler alret here): would it be possible to get a warning for Zolf's prosthetics stopping to work? Perhaps something like assistive devices malfunctioning? It's been a trigger for a few people, including me, and we'd appreciate that being added.
Jordy
2021-12-01 20:32:38 +0000 UTCI... I didn't cry during the episode but this is getting through to me now. This is the end. Thank you ❤️
Scaredycrow
2021-12-01 19:43:57 +0000 UTCThis episode did not at all go how I expected but I still enjoyed it a lot! Thanks for all the fun these six and half years! Can't wait for the epilogues :D

Bonnie Calderwood Aspinwall
2021-12-01 18:55:48 +0000 UTCOkay wow Never ever would/could I have imagined *that* But... It is beautiful! What a wonderful ending! I hate and love the magic thing but I think, from a narrative/story standpoint it feels like the right thing ... I am very excited for the epilogue and other post-main-campaign content And while I have like 20 other Podcasts, I really wanna listen to This one has earned the place of "comfort"/"reason to stand up in the morning" Podcast That will be listened to again and again Thank you for creating such an awesome thing. Thank you!
Caelan Jon
2021-12-01 18:47:30 +0000 UTCI thought I was scared before the end, but now I'm terrified of the Aftermath Of His Craft. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

2021-12-01 18:40:25 +0000 UTCBut he can bloody try!!! XD

2021-12-01 18:02:41 +0000 UTCClassic Zolf reaching for the bucket in times of hardship, YOU CAN'T SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WITH A DROWNING BUDDY
Bonnie Calderwood Aspinwall
2021-12-01 17:57:45 +0000 UTCI can't say anything more than what has already been said by others. I started to listen to this on my commute in February of 2020, because Magnus was still on a break, I had DEVOURED Outliers, caught up with Stellar Firma and had enjoyed some of the one shots, I thought what the hell? After a few weeks, lockdowns came, and RQ content started to become a big part of my comfort. I was able to catch up and listen to the last several episodes live. I can't say how much I had needed something to immerse into, during such a rough time. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
LainyJP
2021-12-01 17:52:49 +0000 UTCI’m a little lost for words but thank you for the adventure! ❤️
SpaceFeather
2021-12-01 17:52:46 +0000 UTCI will be back later once I articulate all the emotions, but for now, all I have to say, I think, from the bottom of my heart: Alexander. ♥
sAZAndorable
2021-12-01 17:47:02 +0000 UTCPure joy. Thank you.
Iggs
2021-12-01 17:32:07 +0000 UTCSo much to think about, but I really, really enjoyed this. I'm so happy we got a roleplay heavy episode in the end - the players are just always so good with these. Especially Ben's performance as Zolf was incredible, it made me laugh so much more than I was expecting. Thank you for this, and I can't wait for the epilogue!
Sue
2021-12-01 17:27:34 +0000 UTCThis podcast has meant so, so much to me through lockdown, and actually inspired me to start TTRPG! , To see the campaign come all the way through to have such a fulfilling ending is wonderful. Massive kudos to Alex for crafting so goddamn hard, as well as all the players (past and present) and crew for all their dedication. Thank you all for creating such a compelling, beautiful story (and for letting Wilde actually live to the end. That bard really does have nine lives). I can’t wait to appreciate it all over again on a relisten!
Cherie Hendrie
2021-12-01 17:27:15 +0000 UTCI cant believe they all lived /except topaz/ the most important character 😭 I'm so overwhelmed I can't put into words how I feel rn. That final awkward outro really got to me... thank you all so much for this wonderful wonderful show

2021-12-01 17:26:27 +0000 UTCBut honestly: Zolf made my entire WEEK!!! 🤣🤣🤣 At one point I was like: "Ouh yeah, THAT'S the reason this guy is your favorite character!!" The largest "Thank you!!" of them all goes out to Mr. Ben Meredith over there!! 🥰

2021-12-01 17:24:10 +0000 UTCIt was so beautiful, I'm crying from happiness, thank you so much

2021-12-01 17:13:46 +0000 UTCWhat an ending... So happy! And yet I cannot wait for the epilogue!
Sevik
2021-12-01 17:13:45 +0000 UTCThe meta-ness of having all the crew help voice Myriad, as aren’t the crew the table to all the plates of the shows?
Lillian Collea
2021-12-01 17:09:36 +0000 UTCThat was really beautiful. I am crying, both happy and sad, but utterly satisfied.

Hazel
2021-12-01 17:05:32 +0000 UTC"Sometimes thing end". An apt way to put it, Bryn. A few years ago, when three of my friends told me they were starting a podcast and wanted me to review it on iTunes, I said "sure", and listened because James is funny and great at improv, I enjoy playing games with Lydia because she always makes great characters and Ben is just an all round good guy. I didn't know I'd get to meet Alex and Bryn and enjoy playing Magic and other games with them. I didn't know that when I introduced Helen to Magnus and RQG, she'd end up as a regular. And I didn't know that I would mess up every single one of those friendships through my actions. I am so sorry. You haven't heard from me, but every week, this podcast has been a lifeline to former friends for me, as well as a compelling story set in an interesting world to enjoy. Alex, everyone - it was very well told. So thank you for that lifeline and that story. I miss you all more than I can express in a comment.

2021-12-01 17:05:20 +0000 UTCOh, my Gooooods ... This is so amazingly beautiful!! 😍 Thank you so very much for this!! *claps slowly with her hands and with tears in her eyes* I love you all so very much!! 🥰🥰🥰 Can't wait for the epilogue ;)

2021-12-01 17:02:22 +0000 UTCI… could not have predicted this ending but now I can’t imagine it any other way. Lord. I don’t have words. Thank all of you SO MUCH and especially thanks to Alex for crafting such a beautifully complex world and story, but also to everyone else who brought it to life. I’m in such tears. Guh. Glad I took off work for this, I’d be a mess. Much love, and I hope to hear some of you again in the next project xx
