Looking forward to seeing more of it. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

I like how Brennan says, “Travis, it’s been 3 minutes” as if this wasn’t the same man who opened character introductions with: “Describe your character with the understanding that your mouth is full of blood.”

Everytime Luis plays on CR this poor man is plagued by visions of people dying

Brennan literally just woke up and chose to be both an MVP player and an Oscar-worthy improv-actor for the whole game.

Everyone went all in and deserves praise, but can we give it up for Zehra who gave an amazing performance, but also had to sit square in the middle of not one, but TWO, "do you want me to pee on you?" conversations

Just hearing Luis shout out "There's nothing wrong with me!" and just sob really hit me. My god dude, we need more of this man ASAP.

Travis being absolutely done with the horror 6 minutes in. This is the content we come for.

Brennans quiet "Travis its been 3 minutes..." 😂

I just want to shout out in appreciation at how Talisen is being so open about his personal history through the ages, it can't be easy reliving all of this but it sure is entertaining.

Welcome to the newest episode of "We try to make Travis shit himself."

2:27:52 Look at Brennan: this is the face of a man that is desperately holding back a bird fact.

I adore how Spenser tells his story as if describing angles and shots from a film script. It's a form of storytelling I've never come across, or considered in TTRPG before, but it's so engaging, and adds so much to the atmosphere. What a beautiful thing you've all created here

Can I just say considering that yelling at the normal cr table isn’t a super common, having Luis come in and really bring the loud passion to the table really REALLY cinematic

Zehra goes from driven to slightly cocky to disturbed to full chin quivering, holding back her tears in less than a minute. That is PHENOMENAL role playing/acting. I watched it 6 times in a row to get all the nuances. Stunning.

Marisha playing a Criminal Grandma is something i did not expect for this chapter.

2:27:08 Sean (Brennan): Holding the shotgun Nathaniel (Travis): Dad mode “No, no, don’t shoot the flies.” Sean: Rumbustious teenager mode “You don’t think I can hit ‘em?”

Can we appreciate that this episode's most emotional and heartwrenching sentence is "You want me to pee on it?" Gosh, fucking shit I LOVE THIS SHOW

I hope Zehra became returning guest after this. She did a phenomenal job with this first outing at the table.

can the set designers get 1000 awards for candela please because WHAT?! EXCUSE ME?! ARE YOU SEEING THIS!?!

I love Travis being so comical, my man is really out here just ignoring the fact he's gonna get stabbed because he wants a good scoop
