15:16 I think the answer for the show and the livestream would also be dramatically different based off things that happen later on, but also because Pike is a much more consistent character in the show.

I have heard people say good and bad things about all charakters except for Grog everybody loves Grog, he´s like a Golden Retriever, if you don´t like him thats a you thing and you should get that looked at…Chandler.(except people that have dog phobias unless they just don´t like dogs and say it´s a phobia…what was I saying?)

@aaliyah4688
October 26, 2024 at 9:06 pm
Matt does have a point that most beautiful stories do have their tragedy in them which does make them beautiful. And that he said that he is willing to roll with what feels natural to those stories, it kind of gives me hope for the future of season 4, that maybe somehow, we won’t have to go through seeing what happens to Vax in the campaigns. I am probably getting my hopes up too much for this, but I really do want to have some hope that we get a happy ending and closure for that story of Vax, and that he does have his happiness. We will have to see in season 4 and see where that goes.

I hope that somehow this reaches them, because this is a question i have been dying to ask matt for years now, but exandria has to have more continents to it. wildmount and taldore together are barely the size of the continental US, you can look at the size of wildmount in the EGtW book and same for taldore the scale is 200miles if you compare that to the US they are roughly the size of the main 48, so that means 90% of exandria is water?
