We put a bow on this awesome adventure as we add our final commentary on the Angel’s Guard campaign. What a ride it has been! We discuss how much the characters have changed, some timeline theories, and even some possible “alternate endings”. It is sad but fitting that this episode is released today, as Jordan credits his inspiration for the final scenes of this story, Author and Grand Master Gene Wolfe, who’s recent passing will definitely be felt in the science fiction and fantasy community. We will keep on rolling and begin a band new adventure next time on Bone Throwers Theater.

Who has the best Roleplaying: In spectacular fashion, Jordan, the GM

And now it’s time for some more commentary! We talk about the characters’ motivations. We also talk about how Jorus, with his “get-the-job-done” attitude and mind-reading ability, influenced the group. Mike and Jeremy talk about how different TV characters influenced their initial character concepts. Jordan talks about how hard it is not to lead the characters. Jeremy mentions how hard it was to avoid meta-gaming.

Mike received a character point for advancing Valentine Montecute the most, particularly in his mentoring relationship with Brother Benedict. Johnny got the character point for best roleplaying. The introduction of Jorus caused a maturation of the group. Johnny got the point for best snack for bringing home-made jalapeño poppers.

And it wouldn’t be a bone throwers session without some bad, bad puns.
