Did we have another Busybody situation where they just casually name dropped Grimm in passing with no further explanation? I wasn’t paying attention to what time in the recording it happened. The wiki only has Grimm in a question about RCR before its release (i.e. they are not Rambler who’s pictured in the rulebook). I don’t recall ever hearing anything else about Grimm.

Grimm is also cited in the flavor text of Ghostly Images in the Realm of Discord deck, that’s the only mention I’m aware of.

Yeah, that was the question from a previous episode. Was the red hat figure Grimm to whom that quote was attributed?

I didn’t know if the Discord had heard something the rest of us hadn’t, but I thought I heard Grimm mentioned again here as though C&A had discussed them before.

My only avenue for updates is The Letters Page and Kickstarter/Backerkit since I’m not a Patreon backer and haven’t bought into SCRPG materials yet. I remember being utterly confused at the Neighborhood Watch episode with the Shenanigans too.

This could just be another instance of time-will-tell-who-can-say. If someone finds the timestamp of the Grimm mention, could you point it out for me please? Thanks in advance.

It’s definitely not an episode to start with, but the Publishers Note where Paul and Christopher try to work through what is in Mad Bomber Blade’s tank had me laughing out loud.

The red hat figure is Rambler and they’re seen on Miasma of Pain in Realm of Discord.

Right. And I assume Girder is the man pictured on Black Market Contact, if I have that card name correct. I just don’t think we have seen Grimm or heard anything else other than the Ghostly Images quote.

8

Yeah. Ghostly images is the only reference we have.

9

Oh, is that who that is? I’d been wondering about that one specifically but hadn’t gotten around to writing in a question.

Yeah, I believe they’ve said recently that Girder is pictured in RCR so I assume he’s the one Expatriette is not shooting at.

And we’ve got Rambler art, and hopefully more coming with the vs. Spite Writer’s Room.

I’ve only played RCR a couple times so far, but haven’t noticed other unknown names in the quotes. I guess perhaps more will be revealed when they have an RCR focused episode soon.

Bet we still have to wait for a potential Disparation reveal before we see art of Darkstrife and Painstake. goes to sulk in corner

I’m surprised they didn’t list the OblivAeon episodes as a good jumping-on point, given how story-heavy they are. Perhaps they felt there’s just too much prerequisite knowledge.

They’re great episodes but a lot of the payoffs require knowing a decent amount about each character involved.

Spicy foods notwithstanding, the obvious story for the singular entity question would be Grand Warlord Galactra leading the Elanabaz Pacification Fleet on their crusade to stamp out all emotion in the galaxy (aka Equilibrium in Space). The Fervor would definitely turn Mkk Dalton into Captain Cosmic and Rainek Krl’Voss into Infinitor so that the two of them could fight Galactra and save the flame of passion from being snuffed out.

To use the five parts of the self from the roleplaying game Mummy the Curse, Harpy is the Sheut of Dark Watch, Nightmist is the Ba, setback is the Ab, Expat is the Ka, and Fixer is left to be the Ren which isn’t terrible. This makes me want fanart of their matching animal heads (jackal, falcon, lion, bull, and snake).

Ew, Harpy wouldn’t date Seraph, he’s basically a golem!

There definitely needs to be a Sentinels equivalent to Fin Fang Foom.

Remove Benchmark, and obviously that has the most impact on OblivAeon, because he diiiiiiiid… crickets

Christopher and Adam are always timely as fleek… And I for one am gratified that Adam largely agrees with me on AI art, or at least he did four years ago. I’ve gotten a lot of flak (not fleek) for suggesting that Adam could use AI to draw a hundred pictures and then generate a thousand more based on it, so he could output way more art than is possible for the man alone. Obviously that’s very different from the fears that AI will replace artists, but I think Adam was right that this wasn’t as much a threat as many people claim.

Since Rahazar is the space equivalent of landed Gentry, Captain Cosmic’s lawyer skills indeed probably have been useful for defeating him. He’d have to learn a lot about the specific jurisdictions of space governments, but there has to be one that applies to whatever Raazy is doing. But then he starts actually obeying the technicalities of space law, and CC can no longer catch him out legally; that’s got to be why he shifted over to being a Parse nemesis, because she doesn’t care about laws, she just kills whatever’s causing a problem.

I think this episode is the first mention of Grimm ever.

I wonder if the original term Virtuoso of the Void was based on the idea of the space between the stars, or if it was always explicitly a magical dimension that does t resemble space at all.
