Session 49 – Forge Meltdown, Silver Keys & “Named Builds”

This week the stream didn’t get taken out by Streamlabs, Twitch, or YouTube, it got taken out by Forge. Servers couldn’t play nice with Cloudflare, half the table couldn’t log in, and the duct-tape fix was VPNing to Canada… which worked, right up until my PC started dumping RAM like it was trying to hit a high score and the stream died anyway. In the recap, the party bags their fourth key after dropping a nasty two-headed hook-hand horror, gets jumped by moon wraiths, and then Bramble goes full werewolf and has to get non-lethally put down and locked in a sarcophagus until someone can cure him. And for the DM Deep Dive, I get into power builds: why I don’t allow “named” internet builds at my table, and how one broken character can warp the whole party’s fun.
