Jam

Derek! What did you think of book club?

SoulOfAFox

What's the hardest part about being a DM?

Jaqwob_onthe_Cob

Question for Mace and possibly Dan Dillan: Have you thought of an enemy or possibly a PC that is a Simulacrum? They can hunt down the party, but every time they kill it, it comes back in a new body.

Pineneedles

I love that porchabella came up last episode after Derek made her up for a joke months ago. Does anybody have a favourite case of a quick joke accidentally becoming plot relevant?

Angel Reyes

Question all LOA how's a good way to get into DND more easily

T.R. e'Frogue

Who would you want to see cosplayed out of your older campaigns? What would be fun to see more art of?

Clone Andy

Given how awesome you all are, have you found it difficult to not get a big head? You guys obviously haven’t let the success get to your heads, but was it difficult to do and was there a person or thing that kept you grounded?

Pidge Platinum

Where in the world sounds the most interesting to vacation to? And which PC would you possibly bring along for the trip? (Can be anywhere on the globe (Earth), and any PC.)

HarleyBear95

Now that the fog is (hopefully) lifting from the crooked crunch, what is the biggest thing you’ve learned about yourselves this year?

Rain

Would you ever consider doing any "real" voice acting work? For example the voice Mace does for the Crooked Moon trailer would be a perfect fit for a game like Borderlands.

EmilyInRedCoat

What would be hardest thing to adapt to for your characters if they got transporter to regular Earth without way to travel back to space? Who would be a fish out of water and who would adapt the fastest?

Dice Queen Kululu

I love watching your shenanigans every week. You really know how to bring a world alive. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your work. You can really tell you are all passionate about it. I look forward to watching more of all of your campaigns.

Tastydoomtime

Since it seems the most likely to happen given fae shenanigans, how would the feywild crew react to being transported to the stardust universe? Or more specifically transported directly on the rhapsody

Keaton Whitney

For the Patreon exclusive campaigns, WFRP and Shroud, are there any plans of including Nikkie or Mace in either of them. Or do you think those campaigns benefit from smaller parties?

Emily G.

So firstly I'd just like to say that I absolutely love your content and this as well as edge of midnight REALLY inspired me to do a homebrew, outerspace eldritch horror campaign with a lot of SCP lore. A lot of stuff, including enemies and npcs are homebrew, and with 6 players im having a hard time balancing combat, so I was wondering if yall had any advice on how yall manage! Much love from ATX 🖤🖤

Istharan

I just finished watching Cowboy Bebop for the first time cause of this campaign, phenomenal show but I wanted to hear what you thought about the ending? (spoiler free or whatever) Personally I thought it was way out of line with the show and made no sense

Jack Hubert

When are we getting the Anthem character sheets

Tartan Bampot

How often do you find yourself speaking in the characters voice outside of the game?

Oliver Phillips

What advice do you have for someone who wants to get into DND? (Finding a group, getting a campaign started) LOVE this campaign by the way!

Wesley Gill

How do you guys manage to keep the energy going through the massive livestreams for Anthem? I am going to need to do a large (8 hours or so) dnd sessions every month and I am wanting some advice.

InvertedRain

Has Pyke been wistfully thinking of Ophelia more or less since she re-appeared in his life?

Byrnikins

What job would your character have In The real world?

SorenSilverblade

If the Witchlight crew were in the Stardust Rhapsody universe, what species would they all be, what kind of ship would they have, and what sorts of bounties would they have in their heads?

Color Spray Creations

If each of the Stardust crew could have their own robo-canine companion like Rhett, which dog breed would they choose to base their robo companion on?

thebeetleinabag

do any of you guys have a favorite character to play? if so who!! 💙

Eldritch Pizza

Just had the third session of our Crooked Moon last week & I'm loving it so far! Which province of Druskenvald do you think would have the best food/restaurants?

Nbcgold3

Watching this campaign has gotten me inspired to dm my own space themed campaign. Any tips from mace (or anyone else) about how to run one? I feel that trying to flesh out a galaxy or even solar system to be quite daunting.

Cobalt Bluewaters

Question for Mace. In a setting as vast as the Stardust universe (outer space), how do you keep the story on track and guide your players toward certain places? You’ve mentioned before that you all talk about what happens in your campaigns, but do you also plan ahead which planets to visit next? Or do you prepare multiple paths and scenarios depending on what the players discover or choose to do?

Austin

I think it's safe to say that after the first 10 episodes many of the big secrets you guys have been cooking up for over a year now (the subterfuge with Quibly and Glup, meeting the true crew members of the Rhapsody, Nikki's debut on Stardust, Kelsey's surprise guest appearance, etc) have now been revealed. What secret are you most glad to have off your chest? Were there any moments that didn't go quite as expected? Looking forward to more twists and turns in the future

Stardust678

Question for Mikey: would Ko be a fan of battle beast? You mentioned ko was into traditional metal and I was wondering her thoughts on power metal

Strider1_FOX_2

I seem to remember it being mentioned that in this setting, space is not a vacuum. If this is the case, from a non game mechanical standpoint, how would that affect the flight dynamics of space craft? Also, does this mean in space, someone can hear you scream?

HoldThatThink

Glad to see everyone back. Question: if each character of the crew were to have dance they are known for. What would it be?

Agonarchy

When they form a band, who plays the sax?

MightyMajin16

Hey Mace, would you ever play Rexx in a one-shot?

marshell doonan

If the stardust setting becomes a future kick starter would marshal the scattering cards of the group be a stretch goal?

Joules

Do you guys have any ideas or tips on how to design a player character or NPC who uses mobility aids, including wheelchairs? I just received my own wheelchair after my 2nd recent hospital visit, so l was curious how you'd incorporate one or other aids into not just a design but also into abilities!

Fright Knight

What is your current favorite flavor(s) and type of ice-cream

Byrnikins

How do you deal with players who are always late to sessions without making it awkward when your DM isn’t big on conflict?

Hiccup

how comes your hair ALWAYS look so good, especially Richie, Derek and Mace

JackTheMurph

Anyone gotten to look at the new humblewood expansion? I'm excited to play a pangolin in the new gadgeteer class.

ClownySkeleton

wawa vs sheetz vs any other gas station? what’s your favorite?

XxSyexX

What are you guys' go to t-bell order?

KysmetScribbles

Do you have any recommendations for introverts trying to break out of their shell as a DM or player?

Joe Kramp

hi! i’m planning to run a oneshot for some brand new players, and i’m wondering what advice you have for helping them with character creation and getting into character.

Free

We’re up to around 22 species revealed in SDRA, what were the main inspirations for species specific traits and characteristics?

Free

What did the world building process look like for SDRA since its technically outside of avantris/not associated with the timeline or any other campaigns?

FeelingFroggy

Been watching an anime called Friren: Beyond Journey's end which explores themes of memory, the passage of time, and legacy as the main character is an elf. Have you ever thought about playing a long lived character (e.g. 500+ years old) and how would you think to roleplay it as a 3 dimensional character?

-

I just want to say thank you for the amazing chronic pain/addiction representation. Rett’s story brought me to tears. I feel very seen.

Emily G.

Thank you for the respectful way you portray chronic pain, and pain management options. When you introduced it in anthem, I had to stop what I was doing and cry because I felt so seen. What yall do means a lot to me, but ive never been so personally affected before. It's a conversation thats handled in a lot of ways, but you have handled it with care. Thank you 🖤

Remire

Is Ziggy vegetarian? I wonder if his burritos are just bean and cheese

Noah Sidles

How do y’all balance your homebrew outside of playtesting? Anything you can share is greatly appreciated?

Ben Moller

What sport or gym focused types have or do you guys do. I remember in episode 4 I heard someone mentioned powerlifting

Rain

As you guys are such good friends outside of your campaigns, are there any jokes/references(from your campaigns) that you use with each other when you're just hanging out? PS - Apologies for not realizing it was Mikey who voiced the Crooked Moon trailer. 🥴

Remire

What are Pyke and Retts Bounty Hunter ranks?

canned..bread

What does Pyke do with his finished cigarettes? Does he just flick them onto the floor and Hank cleans them up or are there like 15 ashtrays scattered around the ship?

Lilah Berry

Which of the characters you play would be best friends or worst enemies?

Tartan Bampot

Calling it now, Ko's sister is the one who gonna be trying to kill them

WhyThough?

When will we be getting the Anthem character sheets on the Spreadsheet?

Joules

Richie, now that we're further into SDR:A and have learned more about Rett, is there more you can tell us about his prosthetics? We talked before about how his arm is removable and waterproof!

DRIPPYSANS

What is your character's goto drink, and or comfort food?

Noss of the Southern Hills

Question for the group: Have ya’ll heard of Steam Powered Giraffe? They’re a very niche band/act and they have an album called Vice Quadrant: A Space Opera. I often find many parallels between the albums songs and the world of Stardust Rhapsody. I often play the album right before you guys start streaming!

Chad Conway

Maybe this was answered before, but is Nikkie ever coming back to Icebound?

Default Kestrel

Group question: do you guys have any advice for story/universe crafting? I feel like my attempts are either too small and hyper focused or too broad and all over the place.

Garrett House

Finally just caught up on BDW at the beginning of that episode it was said that it was the penultimate episode. Is there talks to hit that last episode in the near future?

Fright Knight

What is your chosen Lightsaber color(s)

Noah Sidles

Mikey, I forgot to say, you are the only person in a while whose gotten my last name right and it’s appreciated. Everyone always says Sid- els

Keaton Whitney

What are your thoughts on DnD getting rid of Half-Orcs and Half-Elves, I know you once spoke of how you believed Half-Elves were overrated.

Clash with Max

Not related to the campaign but could you all say the first word that comes to mind in this moment I need a new name and I'm not creative...

Fright Knight

The Cult guy has the same vibe as Ygor

Fancy Frogmouth

How would your characters solve the Trolly question to where nobody dies? (In case anyone needs the question "A trolley is headed towards 5 people but you can divert it to hit one person. How do you proceed?"

Kyle Hutchings

So Stardust Rhapsody Anthem has more lore ( game mechanics, subclasses, species, history) than any other campaign, including Crooked Moon, and yet no plans to publish it anytime soon. You Tease...

Noah Sidles

How did Y’all come up with the Crooked moon subclasses? Sorry my Iowa is showing

Kyle Hutchings

While Ziggy flavors his spells as code and deckcraft, is there any possibility of an emergence of actual classic magic in the SRA universe, or would it be more likely to be framed as Psionics?

Rain

Your guys improv skills are quite exceptional, especially with each other. Do you have improv experience outside of role-playing/TTRPGs, as in like theatre/typical improv? Or is it purely just from playing TTRPGs with each other?

InvertedRain

From episode 11 of Anthem, what is a scene you really want fan art of?

Guh00se

Not a question but just wanted to give Mace his flowers. The pacing tonight has been immaculate. The added dimension to Rex was awesome.

Free

Do you have an estimate for how far into SDRA’s story we are/any plans on what the play structure will be like in the future (arcs/seasons/etc.)

DJHERO

As twins, do Mikey and Richie ever make a voice to close to each other? Or have they practiced enough to avoid that

Cobalt Bluewaters

When you were working on the physical designs for the new characters for Anthem (Ziggy, Ko, Pixel, Ophelia) Were any of them harder to narrow down and than others and needed more work throughs, and did some hit the nail on the head the first try? If so and if you'd like to share, which ones?

Fright Knight

Have you guys considered utilizing any time dilation via blackholes or anything like that

Eldritch Pizza

In all honesty, I thought Richie had done the Crooked Moon voice over

Totallynotcringe

What is long worm? Is it like eel or tapeworms?

Lynx

Question for Derek: we unexpectedly came to own a stray that gave birth to four kittens. What do we do?

Fright Knight

Mace have you ever considered wearing sunglasses for the entire episode

Jam

what is the name of the galaxy that the stardust party is in? if it is named of course, and if there isn’t what would you name it?

Kyle Hutchings

If you were to bring over one of your characters from another campaign into SRA, who would it be and what changes would you make to help them fit this universe?

InvertedRain

What is each character's love language?

canned..bread

Will your mech oneshot feature argonauts or will it be a different organization?

Joules

what was your favourite species or class to write and design for in the Crooked Moon?

Joules

what's your favourite or preferred Miyazaki/Ghibli films) to watch with the kids, rather than on your own?

Joules

If you could design a banananza form for DK which animal would you choose?

Joules

Hey Mikey, what's was your favourite animal from the rainforest cafe? do yall have a favourite rainforest animal?

Joules

Are there any additional designs to your character that you think of now, but didn't think of before, but may not change the character enough to warrant a redesign?

ownhill

Will we ever get to peek at the anthem character sheets in dndbeyond?

Rain

My theory is still that Chuckles is somehow the Viceroy.

Cobalt Bluewaters

So, based of what Rex just described at the end there, did this man just blast off into the sun set, without shoes or pants?

InvertedRain

Will Ziggy change his last name now that he has been disowned?

muflon

are there Aarakocra (space) representatives and how do they kiss

muflon

Please, respond. This is very important

Mistrum

Ziggy Rhapsody
