Alex, I *adore* your "I unno!" noise because it is perfect.

2021-02-15 00:48:53 +0000 UTCYet another comment agreeing with this! Especially after Helen's comments in 181 about how she appreciates Alex's handling of relationship stuff in the show, and Ben's thoughtfulness about his personal boundaries. It would be fascinating.

2021-01-15 08:24:14 +0000 UTC"they say mimicry is the greatest form of flatter" LMAO. ahhh this was such a lovely episode all around.

2020-12-10 19:31:47 +0000 UTCAlso how Lydia played Sasha (no relationships for personal reasons) vs. Cel, who has had several previous marriages and is very much ready to mingle. How much did the players talk with Alex in advance about the different aspects/ what they would be comfortable roleplaying? How does one fit a relationship into an action plot (often fast-moving), keep it natural, give it the right amount of focus? What do you need to watch out for when dealing with PC/PC vs. PC/NPC relationships? What about other types of relationship (e.g. Hamid and his close family)? Yes, a metacast would be really interesting.

2020-12-09 17:58:50 +0000 UTCDear RQG cast and crew, I appreciate you all so much. As a very awkward autistic nonbinary ace I particularly appreciate Zolf and Cel, but that isn't to say everything and everyone else in this episode wasn't an absolute delight as well. Also kudos to Alex for succesfully and compellingly continuing to juggle his troupe of NPCs.

2020-12-09 12:04:18 +0000 UTCYes! Exactly! Thanks for articulating this better than I did, haha

2020-12-09 04:27:15 +0000 UTCLove the new title! This episode was so wholesome, I love how dedicated and thoughtful Helen is in regards to Azu's love life, bless her!! I was waiting to hear about Kiko again 🥺 and Zolf/Oscar is just.... Wow, they've both come such a long way, it's amazing, and it doesn't feel rushed or forced either. Just things falling into place naturally, aka, awkwardly. Good job 👏👏👏 who said Alex never gave nice things... ((Wait don't tell him I said that or he'll go back to making things explode again)) Also I love hearing the other players' reactions when things happen for other characters!! That makes me happy 😁 Can't wait for my best friend to listen to this one 😊✨

2020-12-09 02:53:18 +0000 UTCYes! I would love a romance/relationship metacast, especially because the Zolf/Wilde thing kind of just... happened naturally? I'd love to know if Ben went into this arc with any thoughts about it or how it was worked through on the player side.

2020-12-09 02:42:25 +0000 UTCHear that sound in the distance? That's the sound of me screaming through this entire episode.

2020-12-09 00:22:50 +0000 UTCAaaaaaaamazing as always!! I think this episode makes my top five. Also makes me want a metacast about handling romances/relationships in ttrpgs.

2020-12-08 18:42:16 +0000 UTC"I listen to rqg for the plot!" I say as I repeatedly listen to this episode because of all the adorable relationship developments in it
Freya
2020-12-08 18:20:09 +0000 UTCDelightful! All of the people got to be happy. AJN even got a few dice rolls. The title is perfectly descriptive... and I'm trying not to think about how that expression usually ends. I'm sure it will be fine.

Abigail Espinoza
2020-12-08 16:28:57 +0000 UTCGod i loved the portrayl of emotionally constipated people trying to communicate intimate feelings bc so often it looks like large love confessions and complete vulnerability. Like, as a lesbian, I relate to azu and kikos awkward flirting/uhaul nature but as a somewhat closed off person I relate to zolf and Oscar's ambiguous slow burn. Basically...GOOD JOB YALL
