Definitely a freak take but I was fine with the degree of compression. I even kind of liked it, honestly? Like, there’s something artful about how it’s stripped down to the really key beats and the way they trust the viewer to really absorb info. Andor S2 doesn’t feel rushed in the way...

[X] Plan: Liberty WITH Poetry?

Maybe the 108th should be instructed to go the other direction and keep an eye on the bridge or something. Wouldn’t want such a perfect scene to be interrupted by shouts of pain or somebody bleeding on something they’re not supposed to. Wouldn’t be proper.

oh yeah I can feel it, ~15 minutes into the arc and I can see the #SyrilSweep incoming Edit: Ah! Well, nevertheless

Yeah, the picnic is fun. Especially loved this little bit. de Toucy has all the 'real' authority here but it's completely useless in the face of nobility. Not because they're scheming or threatening or even unpleasant, just because all that social conditioning at work. Everyone's used to...

It's a neat bit of military history but I think it might be a bit too granular to represent mechanically. The main role of lancers was steamrolling infantry, yeah, and it definitely could be cumbersome in a close-in duel against a saber, but they weren't helpless. There's plenty of examples of...

I mean as the person who made the plan I definitely was aware of that rules change? We talked about possible ways they could use Ready Charge to cover their advance across the river. Ready Charging into them ourselves is still the best move available because, well - the worst possible scenario...

We can be calm here, folks. Unfortunate that we didn't inflict significant stress with the ambush but it's still our turn. We have a full turn's worth of actions to break one of these units. I can't do the math but I suspect a pile of checks against a unit with only a net +3 on Morale isn't...

We don’t see enough of Partagaz to know what motivates him but Dedra does not strike me as a ‘true believer’. She feels like a foil to Syril. Similar on the surface (zealous devotion, desire to climb the Imperial power structure) but ultimately driven by different core urges. Dedra is driven by...

I’m surprisingly confident that the Syril Karn face turn is coming. They’re really constantly emphasizing two things: one, the exact nature of his toadyism - not corrupt or cowardly so much as rooted in this sort of childish-romantic quest for ‘meaning’ and ‘justice/order’ - and two, the fact...

WHISTLER I They called themselves 'woodsmen' instead of bandits, but the wood did not want them. Not that this could properly be called a wood. A wood was a product of man's hands. A place full of hogs feeding on acorns and peasants scrounging for fuel, a place for lords with shining spears to...
