Hey Patrons! Now that more people are finishing the final episode, we'd love to host a campaign Q&A to close out the series. Please feel free to use the comments to leave questions you'd like us to answer. ALSO, please follow these rules:

1 comment per person, please don't leave multiple comments.

Try to ask a max of 3 questions, but know we may not get to all of them or everyone's questions. Just hoping to make sorting through and picking questions a bit easier this time.

Comments

Hugz4.u

How much was prepared going into each ep?

Tayl0r000

Would love to know tge ispiration for everybodies Pcs

Dung eater

There’s gonna be a lot of this question I think but what would’ve happened if Everett joined humanity’s side? How would’ve this changed the story?

Moki

Everett James petal bridge?

ScarletTheDragon

For Grizzly or whoever- was there any chance at getting through to Mary enough for her to not form the moonbeast or was she just a lost cause? Also any specific character inspo for each character/npc?

Maddie

I feel like everyone had a very strong archetype of a character they wanted to play. Was everyone satisfied with how their character arc unfolded and/or would you have wanted your character to have developed differently?

adam belisle

Was it always planned to have Everett go to the evil side

kai

did you ever canonize whether mary was the monster jin was childhood friends with?

Courtsnort

Did lucia have any hope of saving Mary?

Goonglab

Was this the ending you had I'm mind from the beginning?

Joshua Collins

How likely would it have been for marry to have been convinced to stop

astro

was bizly always planning to side with the monsters? he mentioned in the last ep that the moonbeast is what settled it, but if the moonbeast hadn’t been there, would he have changed his mind and sided with the humans in the end?

Issra Space Bean

Are you all satisfied with how the campaign ended? Do you wish some things never happened or did happen?

eyes

what's next on the patreon front? Will there be another new series, a continuation of an old series, or just a break for now, while wonderlust is still going?

AnnaDisconnected

This campaign was incredible! my question is if there were any changes to the production or sound design for this campaign next to others? It felt like it was on another level! I’d love to know what was changed and what stayed the same..

bip

what happened to amber :0 surely she made it off of the island safely ^_^

Benjamin Dover

1: do you plan on ever revisiting this universe? Potentially a prequel that exploring the beginnings of the black blades? 2: is there art of Everett in his full monster form, and can I see it? 3: Grizzly, when in the writing process did you decide to make the moon beast the final boss?

honeydahlia

What would Jin’s/Lucia’s hybrid forms be? If Jin joined the Moon Beast, what part would he play in its form?

Silly Duckie1

1. What happend to amber the cat? 2. Was the ending of this campain how you guys invisiond it or would you have changed it?

Random_Soap

Could we have a bit more of Everett’s backstory? Like why he is so focused on strength/being better that the monsters?

Taya

Now that the moonbeast has been killed, does that mean there are no more monsters? If Everett didn’t go evil, how would things have changed? What happened to Amber?!?!?

Daniel Alvarez

What happened to Lucia and Jin after the finale

Lav ForYou

1. For grizzly- Would there have been a way to save Everett or was he doomed as soon as he joined the monsters? 2. For grizzly- Was the moon beast written in from the start or was that something you wrote in after the first few episodes 3. For bizly- why

Bradley Palmer

What kind of creatures would Jin and Lucia become if they were hybrids?

frysier

how did the first king figure out the whole moonbeast thing

Loaf Of Bread

Will Milo be a guest on more campaigns? I absolutely loved her and her acting in TMK, genuinely amazing <3

thekidnamedq

is every moon beast related or is there an expansive beastiverse?

Mar

1. Is there anything in this campaign you guys wish you would have done differently? 2. How did you guys come up with character concepts? 3. For Condi and Milo, what do you guys think Jin and Lucia would do post campaign?

georgia 👁️

Hey! I was wondering (if Grizzly had it planned) what animal head would Jin have become if he became part of the moon beast? Even for condi/ milo, if you both had to pick an animal to represent Jin/ Lucia if they became part of the moon beast, what animal would it be? Props again to all of you, TMK was such an amazing fuckin show, and I guess the true Total Monster Kill was the moon beast we made along the way <3

Chanler Sharpe

This might be a silly question but due to the moon beast in the story, is there any plans to connect the worlds of the suckening and this one?

Blues Clues

How would the final have played out assuming Everet choose to not join the monsters side? Would he have betrayed Mary last second?

Nicholas Winkler

Grizzly: What of the world or story did you write but never get to unveil to the audience/players, if anything?

dragonsin z

To grizzly; did you nerf the fight to try and sway it to humanities side? To condi; how confident were you that you could pull survive that final episode?

Mel_TB

Does this moonbeast lore apply to all appearances of the moonbeast? I know it has appeared several times and changed appearance several times and figure I would get clarification on that end :3 Also, grilled cheese 🧀

bananabel_split

To milo specifically: how was it playing dnd for the first time, and how connected did you feel to lucia as a character?

Eldritch Violet

Is Milo up for doing another campaign in the future?

Ash346

Questions outside the campaign: is milo gonna be here forever now part of the group never to leave undercontract to work for this dnd podcast for free for years to come? (Which would be awesome.)

Hive Fieri

For Condi, did you end up getting any noise complaints because of the finale. For Grizzly, when/how/why did you decide to make the final monster be the moon beast. For all the players, what was your favorite part of playing your characters.

Cat_Clown

what happened to lucias cat?

Tin

This one’s for condi; you did an absolutely fantastic job with Jin and I would love to know some of the inspirations and how you got so into character with him. The emotions and acting felt super real

enbyralsei

1) What determined which hunters got turned into monsters in episode 4? 2) What do you think would have changed about the story and events if this were a longer campaign with the same premice (maybe around 20 episodes)?

applejuicy

does Charlie know about the Moonbeast lore?

jazforthesoul

1. For Milo specifically- Why was Lucia never mad/upset with her parents for what they did to Mary? Was it because she had just been without them for so long that, to her, there wasn't anything she could have done, or was she just that forgiving? 2. Was there ever any way that Jin/Lucia could have talked Everett out of being a monster, or was Bizly pretty set on an evil ending? 3. Y'all mentioned that the monster-ape thing felt suspicious before anything that would point to that happened, so were there any ways that the plot to make everyone a monster could have been revealed earlier in the story, or was Lucia getting shoved out the window the first domino to fall?

Dew Springs

1)Was Ember and Forge able to get back to the mainland? 2) with the assumption that Jin survived, How do you think his mother would react to him? Would he be stowic and do nothing or would she drop her persona and be happy with his return 3) Do you think that if Lucia's sister never was banished, The overtaking wouldn't have happened or someone else would be the king??

Coco

Love this campaign! Heres the questions I have! What happened to the person who rat it out the village? How did other people like trey turn in to monster hybrids? AND WHAT HAPPENED TO AMBER THE CAT ARE SHE OKAY!?!? That's all my questions everyone did an amazing job I love this campaign and this podcast as a whole! :D

K3

Hey there! Three questions then, here we go: -If Jin had gotten Trey, Hawk or Alf free, would they have had their own agency or would they have been "brainwashed"? -Did the people on the mainland see the moonbeast and its slaying from afar? Did Forge and Ember at least? -What do you think Jin and Pebble would've done if they survived after featherfalling?

Arden

I really enjoyed the setting and world building of this campaign so I’m wondering: Do you think there’ll ever be another mini campaign or one shot set in this world?

TIN

Are there characters anyone would have liked seen with more screen time? Additionally is there any chance we get more stories from this world?

denbot3469

What conditions would have to have been met for Everett not to side with the monsters and would you guys ever do a mini campaign in this world again?

TheEtheralGaysOfParius

What would have happened if Everett didn't chose the monsters? Who would have been the heart?

ectoplasmicradiance

For everyone, what was your favorite part about crafting this specific story? The intricacies of the characters/the world are so intriguing to me, and I would LOVE to know what it was like making the specifics of your respective part in this campaign (character decisions/morals, world morals or rules what have you). Also what piece of media would your respective characters like? (Grizz, what would pebble/any favored npc like)

crimsondotnet

if milo had succeeded that one persuasion check would there have ever been an ending where Mary saw Lucia's side of things and there would be peace between monsters and humanoids?

Deebee

For bizly. How hard was it betraying your friends in character as everett and out of character as bebo

randopandour

Okay, here's a few (they’re all for Grizzly): - How did Guildmaster Rock end up working for the King (aka Mary)? - Besides the Black Blades, what are the name of the other guilds, if you had any? - What are the names of all the continents in this world?

Turbo161

Milo was very fun in this. Do you think you will have them on again for other campaigns?

GarlikBread

Why the name Everett James Petalbridge?

Raymond-is-bread354

Ok so I have a couple: Bizly: For Everett, were you always planning on a split, or was that an in the moment thing, where Everett was seeing the worst of humanity from Alph and the audience, just before he decided to change? Milo: Lucia has such a complicated and amazing story. Is she angry at her parents still for abandoning Mary? I can't imagine how she feels. What do you think the characterswould do after the story? This one is for the whole party

R0yal

Out of curiosity, what were the exact stats and effects for the magic sword and ring Jin and Lucia had respectively?

John Haidl

What would the characters do after they killed the Moonbeast? How would they recover from the loss of their guild and friends?

ChumpalZ

This is a very out of pocket with these long winded questions but, would you ever try to do jrwi what ifs for the series if the roles were reversed with character(s) and or alternate endings? Do you intend to ever continue this story if not for a long while maybe with the whole cast (including Milo)? And the last question more for the whole jrwi crew what were your guys favorite things for the campaign as a whole. A side note. Fantastic job, this was definitely one of my favorite series to end by far, thank you for this journey.

Anex

Was there a story beat/side quest with team alfa that the players could have had if Lucia stayed to talk to Raven instead of going to Rock immediately or was that just a short interaction for the players to meet Raven?

Jetstream

Here's my three: If the human crew did survive (which I firmly believe they did) what did they do with the rest of their lives? Will Milo become a permanent member of the crew now? And what's next for the jrwi patreon?

Eden

You knocked the ball right out of the park and into the stratosphere with this campaign in part because of Grizzly's wonderful dm skills but also because of the way everyones characters and dynamics progressed. This brings me too my first question, was Everett switching over to the monster side and becoming a main antagonist something that was intended from the beginning by either Grizzly as a potential plot thread or Bizly as a possible character arc? If not how would the story have unfolded if Everett had not been willing to become the moon beasts heart? Also Milo absolutely killed it as Lucia and also just as an addition to the podcast overall. In one of the sessions there was a passing comment about something becoming a tradition throughout every campaign Milo was in going forward so is there an actual possibility of Milo returning for future campaigns? If so I think Milo would be an excellent addition and I eagerly await what might be in store for the future.

brain_dead_dm

Who was each persons (including grizzly's) favorite NPC?

Matt Koltes

where was goobleck in this world? was he a monster? was he a barrel again?

Westli

this campaign was amazing, i’m just curious about how it came about, conceptualizing everything story wise, setting, and even the characters because the 3 had some amazing dynamics!! also joke question but why does everything eventually turn homoerotic at some point (emizel and his squire, alph and everett)

ourple guy

Did bizly feel guilty about being evil or did Everett deep down feel bad

pinheadlarry

Do you think this world could tern in to the prime defenders world because there there isn't a moon beast

Casketeer

Is there anything each of you wish you had done differently or not done at all? What was each of your favorite parts of the series? Was the myth, the legend, the all great Moonbeast planned the whole time or did Griz just vomit that out?

Bugszbear

Where possible things grizzly, did you not get to show in the story or and ideas you had that you didn't get to do?

lenver

1)For Milo: Will you ever be in another jrwi campaign, maybe as a guest or something? You did a great job with Lucia, it'd be awesome to see you again!! 2) Was the moonbeast always planned to be the big bad final boss at the end, if so, why? 😭 3) Could we have some more info on Everett's backstory?

Abstrot

What were the inspirations for your character? What were your favorite npcs?

Spark Chaos

Which of your other characters do you think your TMK character would get along with the best/worst?

Princey Calypso

How would the story have gone like if everett didn't immediatly join the hybrids after they attacked the dragon egg? Also what would have happened if jin had cut the crystal veins before they went down and met with everett and mary? And last where was amber (lucia's cat lol) during that fight?

Nyxus Vivyd

What were your original ideas/concepts/basis for your charcters? Did you get what you wanted out of the characters that you had in mind when you made them, and did that want change through the course of the campaign?

luckytheproto

Question for grizz: what was the hardest improv scene in the campaign? Long time listener and your improvements as a dm have inspired me to try to create a story as good as you all tell!

Abdulaziz Mohammed

1. Is there any epilogue the dm and the players can conjecture about or want ideally for the characters? 2. Would another campaign / crossover / what if be able to take place in this world or with these characters? 3. Can there be a possible what if ending that gets played out in a session (like you guys thought about doing for apotheosis) where Everett gets his friends on his side?

Alex Rúnar Pálsson

Apologies before hand, this got a little long: 1 ) When making your characters in general, do you plan an arc for them at all or do you just start playing and see where the story takes them, and if so how much do you plan? For example, did you know beforehand that Everett was gonna be evil or that Lucia was gonna break her non-violent code? 2 ) What is your favorite bird? 3 ) Also one quick world question for G-Man, are the monsters in this world animals that are a natural part of the food chain or are they kinda like in the Witcher universe were they are from another world and are invasive to the ecosystem, if so what was their origin?

Ironic

What are these characters doing after the campaign ended? And is there anything that you wanted to do with your characters and weren’t able too?(npcs too)

artandbrimstone

was there a particular entity mary was "chosen" by? how did she come to learn about the moonbeast and was she planned to be the main antagonist from the start?

GeneralBlep

These are my questions! 1. Where did the idea for Alfs character and personality come from? 2. Where did the idea for Mary and the Moonbeast come from? 3. Does pebble sound like Felipe on purpose or was it an accident? (This one's my silly question LOL)

paytontheninja

Would Lucia, Everett, and Jin play Fortnite?

Calvin Tatton

1. What was slimes character concept if he had played 2. Well Milo be in future campaign and or Current. One's like riptide or the suckkining 3. Not a Question what kind of is can we have slime though on the campaign

Minnow

how do you think the world viewed monster hybrids after all this? did they get absolutely beaten the fuck up or was it more of a peaceful outcome? and then for milo, how was this as your first jrwi campaign? i know im speaking for a lot when i say this but lucia was absolutely awesome and i’d be SO HAPPY to see you in more campaigns aha tmk was awesome, by far one of my top 3 campaigns

Alana Cake

What would have happened if the moon beast got to the moon? going off of real world proportions, if something is big enough to consume the moon it might as well just become its own planet! Did Forge and Amber get home okay? To Milo specifically, what was Lucia's plan to insite peace? She was trained to kill monsters, surely she understood how near impossible peace was. Also, not a question, wonderful campaign, the voice acting and characters were amazing and I hope all of you a extremely proud of this masterpiece!

Rachel Blood

what was amber the cat doing during the moonbeast battle? is she chillin?

orfencrippler

How similar/different are these characters compared to your real-life Monster Hunter characters/playstyles?

Lane Kyser

Is there any chance we could see TMK return in some form, or connect to one of the other series?

Sammy Mirande

Bizly What was the original plan with Everett, was he always going to betray the party? Love the Podcast, can’t wait for more Riptide <3

MoonLettuce

Heya, love the show and yall are great. here are my questions 1. How is the Moon the source of all star magic? is it like the Moon is a funnel/ MASSIVE arcane focus for people? 2. how exactly did Mary become the island's Monster King? or any ideas on how she made it to the island 3. Did you intend for the party to form the Dymanic of: Thinks Monsters are the best, Thinks Humans are the best, and Thinks both equally powerful (Ev, Jin, and Luc in that order)? its great to see a spectrum of Monster sided to Human sided and the conflicts that arise. or arose i guess. Loved this series! hope to see more Milo of JRWI aswell!!!

Magnolia

Was Rock the only one at the Dragon Egg who knew about Mary's plan?

thee_birdo

for bizly: What was Everett thinking when he reached his hand out to Mary in the last scene? for grizz / condi: We're there plans to tie in the monster in Jins backstory into the story in a meaningful way? was that monster Mary? for grizz: how did Mary fall into the role of king? was there someone in that role before her? how long had preparing to summon the moonbeast been going on? for milo: not a question but your Lucia playlist killed me i hope you're happy

Eggyneer

quemstions 1. For Gribbly: If any friendly npc was freed from mary's little vein thingies would they have assisted the party or been unconscious? 2. For everyone: What backup characters did you all have planned if anyone died during the first hunt? 😁

Dulee :]

Loved the campaign so much, and inspired me with some of my own campaign writing. Lucia especially because she's really similar to one of my player's characters :D 1. Grizz, what would have happened if Lucia managed to convince Mary there was another way? 2. Everyone, who are your favorite NPC's?

Awks

Were pebble and Alf lovers?? 🥺🥺

Xavrockerr •

Was an ending fighting a herd of hundreds of monsters led by bebo the original plan because i get that vibe from the rolled for episode 5 Also great mini campain boys 10/10 very fun time

toboboby

- there were a lot of implications that mari and lucia were both chosen, were they chosen by the same person/thing and how does choosing work for other people in tmk? - was there a chance everett could have sided with jin against the moon beast before the final battle and if so, how might it have looked? - when it comes to dm/player dynamics while creating a campaign, how does your process look and how do you all work together to integrate everyone into the worldbuilding/story? this is hands down the BEST campiagn i've ever listened to and immediately became one of my favorites! everyone did such a phenomenal job, HUGE PROPS to all of you and i'm so excited for whatever comes next!!! thanks so much to y'all for doing this, it means the world <3

Lydia

if each player had to sum up their character in three words what would they be! this also includes grizzly for the moonbeast/mary :>

Gray

for grizz: you mentioned in streams that you were improvising a lot of this campaign and letting the players and characters just kind of do what they did-- how did it feel to not rely on a strict / specific plan? for everyone: what were your characters primary motivations in becoming a monster hunter, and what were their motivations to keep going and trying to fix things after the main attack from rock?

Mike Rawch

Grizz (you KILLED it with this campaign btw!) have you thought much about the "kings" who came before Mary? I'm so curious about the first king(s)! Also, if you know, could you share a bit more about Rock's backstory? How did he go from being a guildmaster to being in league with the monsters (or was he ALWAYS a monster?) MÜN BEAST

Mason

When’s the next time we’re gonna see Milo in a campaign? Girlie pop fucking ate as Lucia, great job out there sport

Ellzhenry

For Grizz! You are clearly so much more confident with your DMing style now. What do you think has been the key to improving? What can you recommend for someone hoping to get into DMing? Thanks for this beautiful campaign 💕

Natsu Sekai

Small request, can we get 5 interrupted minutes of yall just talking about the moonbeast? Grizz already explained his initial process to Biz in one of the Rolled's, but Condi & Milo probably also have stuff to say about it (it being the moonbeast)

Codybert

For everyone: How did you come up with your characters personalities and lore? And for grizzly: what did the players do that surprised you?

Larping

More moonbeast? 🧐🤨

H4RPY_W1NGS

For everyone: What parts of your characters lore/an NPCS lore would you have liked to see explained or mentioned during the plot? For Condi and Bizly: How would Lucia dying during her fall have affected what your characters did going forward? and a small question for Grizzly- what color are Mary’s scales? :) EDIT: I SAW THE ART IGNORE THE LAST QUESTION :D

Sharkbarkz

-If all the PCs became monster hybrids, what would they look like/what traits would they have? (We already know what Everett looks like of course) -Was there any chance to save Mary? -Does Charlie know about the moonbeast inclusion? What did they think? lmao

OctolingO

1. For Milo: how was your first JRWI experience? 2. For everybody: where did the ideas for your characters come from? 3. For Grizzly: I feel like this has had some of the coolest NPCs in JRWI. Where do you get the ideas for them?

Gamer Obama

General question but I noticed that you guys stopped uploading the player character sheets to patreon is that intentional or just an accident. Id love to see the character sheets for a lot of these newer campaigns as im a huge rules nerd

Swirly is a confirmed guest on jrwi

For everyone: What was the most heartbreaking moment in the campaign for you? For condi: how many noise complaints did you get by the end?

joes✌️cool

what about the other guys in the moon beast (craziest thing to come out of my mouth)? maybe im actually that stupid but iirc only mari's outcome was roughly described. i assume everyone else also turned into constellations and yk saw their parents or whoever, but like maaaayybe everett survived and now they all live like happily ever after in a small village of their own making and lucia has chickens. lucia has chickens. i cant get the image out of my head of lucia holding js a little guy. a little plump little chickeny guy. if she doesnt fw chickens dont tell me. let me live blissfully. speaking of that sort of happy ending in my head, (assuming jin and lucia survived. right. yk like feather falling yeah yeah yeah) what do u guys see them like doing or going like what they up to. neeeedd me that epiloge type shit like in apotheosis

Kobra

Who was the great protector that saved everet when he was little? Did he have a great plot significance or just a random dude?

junieebuggie

for everyone, what was the most heartwrenching moment for you all? question for Bizly: I know it was mentioned in the rolled but I want to hear a bit more of it, why did Everett reach out to Lucia? Did he want humanity to prevail at some point during the fight? side question: is Milo gonna be on JRWI again? I loved her performance and would love to see her again!

Inconspicuous Ginger

Was there a plan for lucia's death after falling out the window? Did grizzly plan to have her parents save her? (they gave her featherfall later, was that originally intended to be used there?)

Tdog 982

What happened to Lucia's cat

Lennon Harrison

Grizzly- did you make a monster campaign just so you could make the moon beast the final boss?

Zach Willsey

Was it always planned for Everett to switch to the monster side? Or was it kind of a concept that just happened and you guys JUST ROLLed WITH IT

Coskar

My only question: Since the “Moon Beast” died trying to consume the moon, does it even count as the Moon Beasts’s origin? Also, Milo please come back for more campaigns because you and everyone in this campaign have been amazing. 11/10

Jordyn Libberton

1) For grizz, what was your world building process like for this campaign? (Where you got your inspiration, where you started, and whatever details you want to share about the process and how you world build) Did you start knowing that the moon beast would be the final boss? 2) For everyone, what was your favorite npc to interact with? Grizz, what was your favorite to play? 3) Also for everyone, if there was ANYTHING you could change about this campaign (even small details) what would you change and how do you think it would have impacted the story? Side note: you all did amazing in this campaign. Grizz, you have grown so much as a dm, it has been so fun to watch. I've always been impressed with your voice acting and descriptions, but this was next level. Milo, welcome to JRWI! You knocked it out of the park. We loved having you, and hope to see you again. Bebo and Condi, the voice acting in this campaign was incredible. I loved these characters and the stories you gave them. All around, loved this campaign.

Captain Capybara

Round 2 of Everett and Gin arm wrestle with their new abilities. Whose winning?

Monke City

What was Pebble's backstory? What drove you to do a campaign based around monsters slaying and how do you come up with your banger campaign ideas? I love you guys and this is my new favorite campaign ❤️

QueenPickle

Whats rocks story? Like how did he become a hybrid? And how did he become guildmaster while doing so?

hambo

How much did Jin's connection with his Master contribute to how he was treated and/or characterized by Mary as "the disciple"? Did Mary know that Lucia was her sister when she gave the order to kill her? Also! This campaign has been such a blast! It was really refreshing to have Milo's perspective, and she brought so much to the table. So happy y'all got her on!

NeanderTall

For grizzly were there any moments where you threw the party a bone behind the scenes without them knowing i.e. did pebble always have the potion or was it an in the moment idea

Louis Escher

1. Is this Moonbeast similar to the other Moonbeasts? Is there any correlation between them, or did you just make it the moonbeast because of the literal revelation you described during a previous rolled? 2. Milo needs to be in more campaigns. This is not a question, this is a threat.

tickleman

Will Alf the alpha elf be reincarnated into the other campaigns and why doesn't condi pursue a voice acting courier with a performance like that

currentfever490

1. will milo be in future campaigns? 2. would milo consider playing that one character they made art for in prime defenders?

Pancakes The Wolf

1. If Everet won the arm wrestle earlier in the campaign, would that have changed how he viewed the other members of the party? 2. What could've happened if Everet didn't side with Mary?

Gloopeony

for grizzly, did you decide to have pebble be one of the party member npcs after or before the rolled where you were gonna describe him being eaten?

Reverend_Flapjack

How many monsters does it take to change a lightbulb? And how many MONSTERS can beat 1 billion lions?

risenvoider

It might be in the rolled, but if not: What is the Description of the Star scourger? Follow up; how tf is that spelled?

Alex Lopez

Who was the hybrid that jin was friend with

Arie

Where is Charles?

Rosa Rodas

My question is what wouldve been Everett’s final words to Lucia if he got a chance to talk to her before he passed on ( RIP homie you weren’t a good guy but you were a funny one)

Smalls

What originally inspired you to write this campaign? Was there a specific scene you really wanted to do? Please tell me it’s not just for the Moon Beast

Nobuko

1. Are you leaving the ending up to interpretation? 2. If Jin, Lucia, and Pebble were to become hybrids, what would they be? 3. Which NPC would you have liked to explore more during the campaign if you had the chance?

Krow

1. For Grizzly: What can first when you were planning the campaign, the monster hunting guild setting or the plot twist with the hybrids and the moonbeast? 2. For the players: How did the surprise attack on the guild change how you played your characters going forward? 3. Also for Grizzly: Any advice for aspiring DMs when designing and running engaging combat encounters?

Yuunari

Since Trey had resisted the transformation at first, if Everett had failed in turning him into a full monster, would Trey have been savable ? If so, what would have happened to the moon beast ?

Nicky

How would the ending have changed if Mary had remembered Lucia? Is there any world where Lucia could have gotten her peaceful ending?

just a silly guy

Was there any cool ideas you guys had that got left out due to party decisions or time constraints?

ilomilo

1. If Everett didn’t accept Mary’s deal would he have gone back with Jin and Lucia? 2. If Jin chose to attack Trey instead of Guild master Rock could he have saved him? 3. For Milo: how does it feel to have to say goodbye to a d&d character for the first time?

gunkinandgoopin

these might be a bit plain, but 1. to Grizzly: what wouldve happened to the npcs that died if they were saved, before getting captured and during - as in before the moonbeast. what kind of battle capabilities did they have? 2. to Bizly: what would it have taken for everett to change his mind or be convinced to not go with the moonbeast plan? 3. to Condi (and sort of grizz too) : how could jin's background have been revealed, i thought it was very interesting and wouldve loved to see even more of it. side note: i have no questions for milo but lucia was an incredible character, my favourite. i was also going to ask how the moonbeast dying affects the moonbeast timeline and where on it total monster kill falls but. okay thats already three

EmberAnimates

Hi!! First of all, you all KILLED IT with this campaign!! I finished the last episode about ten minutes ago and I still feel entirely hollow inside :D I just have one thing; it’s less of a question and more of something I heard that altered my mental image of that last scene, and I want to see if this was intentional. When Bizly said Everett reached out his “hand” through the heart of the Moonbeast to Lucia, I didn’t see it as his big monster claws/gauntlets that he had throughout the campaign. I pictured his original, human hands; the ones he had before he transformed. It really made the impact of this shows theme hit harder for me, but of course I could have just wildly interpreted something out of nothing 😅😅 So was this phrasing intentional? Either way, that ending scene has devastated me and I will be suing for emotional damages (and I mean that as a compliment to you all, well done)

Rogng

1. What wouldve happened if Everret didnt let Jin go? 2. Was there anyway Lucia couldve stopped Mary? 3. Is Milo going to appear in any more campaigns (pls say yes)?

CrashFox0

1) Was the campaign encouraged by monster hunter wilds releasing soon and re resurgence of people playing world again ( if you can’t tell I’m a huge fan of the series) 2) what where the inspirations for the party 3) and will we get to see anything of this world again Thank you for the great campaign and I can’t wait to see what’s next to come :D

cora_borealis13

1. Was Everett always going to betray the party or was it an in the moment decision, and if it was an in the moment decision, what caused you to make the choice you did? 2. We know that Jin was supposed to be part of the moonbeast in place of Trey, and that Mary and Rock were supposed to be there, but were Alph, Arterie and Hawk planned to be the other 3 heads or was that just what made sense narratively? 3. Was giving Lucia only one (or very few) tools to do damage a conscious decision when making her character or was it just a very in-character coincidence?

void

Was Lucia’s sister always gonna be the endgame antagonist or was there something else planned and it just ended up working better as Marry?

Captain

1. How did pebble make it through the snake-pocalypse? Literally how? 2. What happened to Amber? 3. Did Alf have a reason to be as much of a dick as he was, or was he just like that?

Mei Rusting

For the party: When creating your character was there any information that was originally scrapped yet you somehow managed to keep it in or vise versa, any ideas you had but was never brought up so it was scrapped? For DM: Is there any idea you write down that you wanted to get to but didn’t get the chance to actually use?

Luc1d_Dr3ams

1. Did you guys inform Charlie about the moonbeast being in or did he have to find out himself? 2. Is Milo planned to be a guest for things like riptide or prime defenders? 3. Was the horned primate the only monster planned to be hunted or did you have ideas for more to be hunted before the whole Lucia out a window thing?

EvanDebin

Was it planned for the campaign to end with everyone kinda just being shot into space or did that just happen because Everett went on the enemy side? Also, if Everett didn’t join the enemy team when he did and stayed with Jin and Lucia, would he have ultimately swapped sides when he figured out the moon beast was involved with the enemy team? (I think it’d be really funny if that were the case)

Three Moths in a Trenchcoat

Was there any way Trey, Hawk, Alf and Arterie could be saved? Was Raven's death because they didn't do enough damage or because there wasn't enough time? What would have happened if Everett didn't join the monsters?

Yosua

For Grizzly, what are the most important lessons you have learnt while writing this incredibly epic breathtaking diabolical sadistic, but inspiring, story, and what would you have wanted to do differently?

coconut Coconut

For Grizzly, is there any date we can expect for riptide coming back? Will it be after Wonderlust?

Lightspeed

For Grizzly, Why did Mary want to abduct Jin specifically? Did it have something to do with his backstory?

Dhakari Jones

How much of a chance do we get to see Milo as a permanent member of the show. I love her rp with you guys she fits right in with y’all so well that it makes me want to see her in riptide and/or pd

Cosmic Axolotl

1. What was everyone’s favorite part of the campaign 2. Will Milo come back as a guest or player in another campaign 3. Will there be a hiatus until PD comes back

CandyNerd

For grizzly: what was the inspiration for this campaign? For the players: how did you come up with your characters?

JustAnotherRQ

For everyone: what was your favorite intro roar to do?

VoidHeartSoul

Q: FOR THE GROUP I know that the goopy gunky slunky funky man himself was busy this time around, but I am so glad Milo was able to join in on this Rollercoaster, the performance was incredible! 1: What kind of campaign are yall cooking up next, do yall have any ideas, or are you..... just rolling with it?!?! 2: Also will milo be a guest in any of the YouTube channel stuff in the future?

Galactipunk

For Grizzly: Was the campaign originally drafted with the expectation of the normal 3-player line-up? (Charlie, Bizly and Condi.) If so, how much was changed because Milo decided to play instead of Charlie?

Trintin Chick

Y'all really popped yalls whole mthrfkin kitty on that one guys...ALSO DID CONDI JUST SPOIL EVANGELION FOR ME RIGHT AS I STARTED WATCHING IT A WEEK AGO?!?! 1) obviously this is a Monster Hunter inspired campaign, but what experience do each of you have with MH and how did it influence you going into TMK? 2)I know these shorter campaigns are Dense and fast paced...there is no room for error or doubt. What is going through your heads when your making the decisions you do. Obviously this is all improv, but How much of your actions are reactionary and how much do you have premeditated. 3) Finally.... Milo Mumbles. When do we get to have her back on another mthrfkn campaign...because the chemistry between you all was PHENOMINAL. ----- *insert clip from Garfield:The Tail of Two Kitties, where Garfield look alike tries Lasagna for the forst time - 'Please Sir, may I have some more?' MOON BEAST MOON BEAST MOON BEAST!!!

JustAFox

1. What would have happened if jin and the group had pulled a person battery off the wall of the volcano? 2. Did yall plan on bizly/everett switching sides or was that just coincidence?

PicKyle1

Great job as always! It makes my day when I see a new episode from JRWI is released. For Grizzly 1. When writing a campaign how do you go about it, do you create all the content and places before you begin or do you come up with it as you go (I’m a newbie dm so I need tips) 2. How do you organize all the ideas you come up with for your campaigns? I’ve been using a note taker called obsidian so I’m curious if you use anything similar. 3. For the group, what was your favorite part about Total Monster Kill P.S great job on Wonderlust Bizly

Mr Mustelid

Working in a lab is interesting because I was crying over a biohazard cabinet. Anyways. 1) What was your favorite intentional or unintentional symbolism/parallel within the show?

Mr Mustelid

Question 2 is answered in the DM notes :)

Jayla Field

Now that TMK has finished, what is coming next? Will riptide be returning? Or Prime defenders? What happens next for jrwi Patreon?

ariconditioner

What was the process behind the creation of everyone’s characters, NPCS included? :D Any particular inspirations, thought processes, etc?

Soul

i use campfire for dming

JRWI: ECLIPSE

yIPII Q&A!!!! It was such an awesome fucking campaign i cant believe its already over 😔 but! Questions,,, i think my first question is God Damn will Milo be back on jrwi any time soon? Milo's rp, writing and improv was incredible- just so fucking funny and moving when it was needed. To maybe see a character of hers become a silly riptide pirate or something... It would be peak in my opinion Next question I have is bout the Moonbeast, probs for Grizzly; is TMK an official origin story for Moonbeast or is it kinda more like a fun tie in/easter egg since, tbh, I'm sorta lost on whether the Moonbeast is actually still alive or not? Basically, is this Moonbeast the same Moonbeast that helps the Yaois in Apotheosis? Or is that a seperate kinda beast. Like, I'm curious how the MB became a summomable thing, did that magical essence merge with the moon or something? Ty guys for this incredible experience, i am going to miss these freaks 😔💖

LemonMilk

For Bizly, How was it playing against the other PCs in that last session?

Lulu

I NEED TO KNOW: Why did raven want to talk to Lucia that one time? She seemed like she had more to say before being interrupted. Also what gave everett the idea to experiment with monster blood? Last one How did Trey come to train with Jin and his mom? Did he just volunteer, or were he and Jin friends before the big monster attack and he decided to come with Jin. Okay thank you bye.

weeb

This is not a request this is not a question. Put Milo in another campaign 🔪 Also do any of the party members want to describe what their characters would have wanted for their lives after this event?

XENRAGEDBARNEYX

This isn’t one of my questions but merely me wanting to say that Milo NEEDS to be in more JRWI content. Now into the questions 1) In the campaign, forge talked about going to mainland. Is mainland also swarmed with monsters like the island the crew is on, or is it more civilized? 2) Grizly, I’m running a campaign where on of my players is the BBEG (the others don’t know). Is there any way you would’ve done the final combat with Bebo’s character? If not how did you do it. Did you just let Bebo play the character and you controlled the background or did you direct Bebo in what to do? 3) is there any chance we get another campaign w/ these characters? Maybe a prequel w/ them testing for their hunters license (if it’s not too much like HxH)

stardustandstories

Was there anything Mary or Everett could have said/ done to convince Lucia or Jin that being a hybrid really was the best solution? And was there a potential way for Lucia and Jin to get Everett back on their side before the moon beast formed?

PlumTile

1. In episode 2, when Everett is about to die he sees a vision of a giant monster with lots of teeth. What was that? 2. How did you come up with visual designs for characters and how did you collaborate with the artist? I like the practicality and attention to detail on the designs. For example, Trey and Jin’s matching headbands. 3. if each player character (and also Mary) had a playlist, what types of songs would be on it?

ayako !!

- inspirations for each of your characters? im so curious to see how you came up with story and character design etc etc - If the circumstances were different, what careers or lives could your characters have lived if not for the monsters/becoming a hunter? - personal headcanons for your characters (or even someone elses character)? like favourite colour etc

Squig

1. Would you ever come back to this world to do another, longer, campaign? 2. Mary says that eating the moon gets rid of magic, however Lucia is referred to as being blessed by the starts. Are innate magics like the monsters and other things the moon and people like Lucia the stars or is there no difference? 3. Can that ending with the cyberpunk monster hunter world please be a campaign????

DeeDeDeeDee

How does it feel for this to be the one campaign where none of you have a homoerotic relationship with Charlie?

K !

1-What happened after defeating the moon beast? What did team sigma do? 2-Let’s say some years have passed since the events of the campaign, Would Gin and Lucia still be monster hunters or would they have ‘retired’ after the whole moon beast thing?

WyattTindall

Is there any chance we can see Charlie talk about his reaction to the moon beast and the finale? Ya'll almost made me cry and I'm dead inside lol

SteamToast

At what point in making the campaign did you decide you were going to put the moon beast in it

Tinydude

Was the last moment with lucia seeing her parents as constellations planned?

Enderhead13

1. Was the ending meant to give wonderlust origin story vibes? because If you didn't decribe the sounds of cars I fully would've thought the person woke up in the undercity place (I'm sorry bizly i forget what it called wonderlust goes hard fr tho). 2. Why was Hawk conviently delayed when the hybrid stuff happened in the dragons egg? 3. Why did Guildmaster Rock basically betray humanity and when did he make the descion to? Great job everyone (Especially Milo)! Holy hot damn Grizzly your DMing for this was phenominal, every NPC felt like a different person with thier own voice and ideals, and all of you played your characters to perfection. This podcast has gotten me through so many tough times and helped me find who I am as a person. Thank you all so much! We miss your goey goey gumption Charlie!

AzulPanda

If Mary was like saved by Lucia and is in the “stars” with their parents. What happens to the rest of Hunters that were part of the moon beast. Are Treys and Alphs fate different cause Jim decapitated them before the Moon beast died as a whole? -There was little said about it but what about the other Guilds did you write or think of them to be. Like how was the black blades compared to the rest of them rank or style wise? Is it almost like Black clover where some of them are better off and more regal. It’s also possible you didn’t put any thought and just focused on the black blades lol.

Shawn Dixon

Will Milo come back for other JRWI Campaigns? She was awesome!

Saint

1. How would the team have gathered clues to figure out that Mary was under the volcano pulling the strings? Were there hints that just flew under the radar? 2. How did Mary gain such renown to become this king of the hybrids, and did she lead the force that killed Gins origin town. 3. Was there anyway of convincing Mary and the others to forge a alliance where both hybrids and human alike could have lived in peace? Or is the concept of the hybrids supposed to represent the worst of both monsters and humans and had no chance to live in peace?

CommotionInDaOcean

First off, loved the campaign! Milo was an incredible guest!!! Which leads to my first question: will she be coming back to future campaigns, either as a guest or a permanent addition? She fits so well with the boys and I love her and Bizly’s dynamic (I miss Spittake). Second, what happened to Amber? If Lucia did die, would Jin care for her? I’m too attached to a fictional cat and I need to know she’s cared for♥️ Thank you guys for making content that never fails to bring me joy. I’ve been here for a few years now and I’ve loved everything you’ve put out (even the monster control one shot)

D3ssy

1.) What the ending what each of the players wanted/expected? 2.) Is milo going to be a permanent part of JRWI? (FIRST WOMAN ON THE SHOW) 3.) What was the writing process through out the campaign? I'm always so curious where you guys get your inspiration from. 3

Canonical JRWI Jesus

1. If Everett James Petalbridge was on the side of humanity, would the buff/balance be that the MoonBeast, shout out to my boy, not have the weakness to radiant/weak spot in general? 2. If Lucia had decided not to kill the MoonBeast, shout out, would she have been devoured by the beast along with the moon, thus becoming a part of the MoonBeast, my boy? And 3. This is not a question but a need, Milo needs to be in future campaigns, they’re so incredible and need to be a main player/dm Thank you, that is all from your very canonical JRWI Jesus Much love and peace <3

Shadow Cosmos314

1. I learned if you say the guild masters names fast it sounds cool just say Rock Hawk really fast 2. Please can we somehow get Charlie’s reaction on Moonbeast on the rolled

Whammie

Does Milo/the crew plan to have milo on more of JRWI? Safe to say everyone loves her, plus I believe on Twitter bebo bingus said about having her on wonderlust in response to someone saying about having her in PD. We’d love to see you again Milo! Sucks Charlie couldn’t be there but it was a blessing in disguise

PichuisPro

1 more Milo? 2 does moonbeast existence in TMK connect this story to Apotheosis, or is Moonbeast a multiversal constant (personal theory)? 3 do you spread em?

A Bee

1. Grizzly when you were thinking of ideas for this campaign where did you start? 2. Was the moon beast always planned to be the “big bad” of the campaign and if it was, was Everett always going to be the heart? 3. Not a question but a request MORE MILO!

NestingOmega

1. What kind of dog breed would everyone be? I imagine Pebble as a chihuahua or a Boston terrier 2. If the characters quit or didn't do monster hunting, what would have they done instead? 3. What would the character's last meal be if they could choose?

Le Frog

1. Did you expect for Everett to agree to become a monster when he was confronted by Rock or was that completely unexpected 2. If it wasn’t supposed to happen, what was the end of the campaign supposed to look like? Like who was going to be the moon beasts heart? 3. Do you have any tips for upcoming/newer DMs on writing campaigns?

Le Frog

I audibly laughed just now

Unknowntoast

Literally such a cool campaign omg!! 1: How do you balance / create your encounters/ monsters? 2: How do you guys make such dynamic battles? They’re always so fun to listen to!

Cardboard Hypocrisy

Any news on when the riptide dice will ship? I received an order confirmation but no shipping information on August 4th

Alex Lopez

I meant the one that destroyed his village

QueenPickle

*gasps in french* the audacity le frog!

Just Roll With It

hit up support@vidglo.com for an update / tracking info. the dice should be shipping already

Whammie

Oh my god it’s the Le Frog, I’m a huge fan of your work

Whammie

I believe on an update video he said after wonderlust

It’s Cfr3sh

So did Mary end up being Gin’s monster or could we hope to see that resolved in the future? Did Charlie have a concept character for this campaign? What would’ve actually happened if the moonbeast ate the moon would it have actually succeeded?

Pluto Taylor

What inspired your characters?

Clem Wilhelm

Do you think Lucia viewed Everett as Mary in some kind of way.

AAH AAAAH AHHHHHHHHHHH

I was wondering if Guildmaster Rock was the same warrior that saved Everett’s mom since that warrior had inspired Everett and Rock the same weapon type as Everett James Petalbridge

Nate Allen

You guys went over the ending of the campaign if the monsters won, but what’s happens now that humanity has won? Will it be the same old monster hunter or does this advantage the human in any way

Captain

I like these questions, because they’re not angsty in any way, they’re just really neat!

nefarious bees

1) Since the moonbeast was never created, how does it show up in the other campaigns? 2) what was the thing the players were most conflicted in with their characters? (rp decisions)

Lenky

1) In recent campaigns, espcially TMK the sound design (like footsteps and sword sounds!) has been absolutely AMAZING, like actually stunning. You mentioned Anna the editor, is she the one to whom I should send my highest praise for this? 2) Did Condi end up getting a noise complaint?

tiller_

1. How does the monster hybrid virus spread? Or is it like a genetic disease that pops up in families every once in a while? 2. Bizly mentioned the moment that it was revealed that Mary’s goal was to create the moon beast determined that he would side with the monsters, would Condi, Milo, and Grizzly if he was a player make the same choice of siding with the monsters once that information was revealed if in the same position? 3. Why did Milo decide to be a healer and pacifist especially in a world where killing and death is commonplace?

HubbaBubba

Was TMK always going to end up as a battle of ideologies? I would have loved to continue the dynamic of team sigma present in ep 1 and 2, it would’ve been cool to see them just be friends hunting

Possum Paul

Did Lucia get her magic from her parents? And if so, did she get to keep it, or is it gone now

Druddigon1

1. What would have happened to the moon beast if it ate the moon? 2. How did the moon give magic, was it a giant magic crystal? 3. Do you think that at some time in the future (2-3 years from now) you will revisit TMK and use this mini series as the prequel? Maybe a campaign on the mainland?

Nick Rofellia

How many of the names/personalities for NPC's were thought of on the spot? mainly asking about the origin of Alf bc he is just ridiculous. (Love him tho)

Spark Chaos

Can I get your pfp? I'm forcing a friend to listen to SUCKENING and I need them to see my GOAT Shilo

TylluanFathomless

1. When you started this campaign, did you expect the ending to be one of the most emotionally charged things to grace the jrwi page? 2. If they went to collage, what would all of the PCs (and fav NPCs) majors be?

Kyle Tenney

When Everett betrayed the party, my first thought was "Oh man I can't wait to see Bizly's new character." While he kept playing Everett, I wanted to ask what kind of character he would have made if he just gave up Everett to dm control and decided to play a new character?

ShadowyBlazes (aspen)

1. Will we get moon beast art 2. What was your favourite part about your character can be the way they act their design anything 3. How much monster shit does Everett have in him

Crescent Gamer

Did any of you get insperation of final fantasy 16 during this campaign? Especially all the talk about ideals kept reminding me of it!

Bohdan Bolotsky

Please tell me the name of the song that plays in the end of the campaign I'm enchanted by it

Rue

I’m very late but did Lucia bring Amber up to fight the moon beast and if not what happened to her?

Jaloney

Mine isn’t even a question just a crazy thing to put in here I started watching you guys like 6 years ago when just roll with it was baby now I’m a freshman in college. How does that make you guys feel?

Crescent Gamer

Also check your mail, apparently mine was taking in by customs and i had to pay for it to be released
