Talks Machina 43: The Chapter Closes

is the forty-third episode of Talks Machina.

Questions Part I

 * Brian asked Liam as a follow up if Liam would have wanted someone to save him. Liam wanted Vax to have a happy ending, but knew that it probably wouldn't happen. He hoped Vax would get to retire to Zephrah with Keyleth and possibly have children if Keyleth had wanted to. By the end of the campaign, Vax was committed to the Raven Queen and had faith in her. He would not have tried to get out of the deal.

GIF of the Week
GIF of the Week winner was @yumyumcabanossi with a GIF of Grog pulling a card from the Deck of Many Things, Scanlan teasing Grog that Percy had lost his arm, and ending with #NoRegrets.

Fan Art of the Week
Fan Art of the Week winner was Olivia Rea with a three panel piece of Vax saying goodbye to Vex and Keyleth then walking into the Raven Queen's cloak.

Quotations

 * Liam (referring to Vax): "While he strips naked a lot, he clearly has no class."
 * Matt: "When you guys latched on and elevated [NPCs] they became more prominent in the story and I think anyone who's ever run a game of D&D can definitely back me up on that. Some of the characters you never expected to become central, do. The players just find something to connect with, something about those characters they end up falling in love with, and end up wanting to go back to them over and over again; and are intrigued by what their history and personality is and then you flesh them out."
