Matthew Mercer: I haven’t had a character in a long time actively try and research the world around them

CR Cast: did not know for 3+ years that Exandria had 2 moons

Oh Mathew my lovely, I’ve had this same experience. 

Usually when the players sleep outside and travel by night, I make a note to go out of my way to mention the ‘unusually large moon’ in the sky, and never heard a mention of it. I’d even go out of my way to mention that the outline was apparent in the sky during the day, just much dimmer. 

Recently I was discussing the planes of existence and how I like to imagine they sync up with a normal, scientific universe (spoiler; not well. i’m of two minds on that subject so i just sort of go with both), and I mentioned that in my mind, the world of Anthron that I usually run and that I’ve been running for them for year is actually a moon. 

Everyone looked like I was crazy. They told me that I should’ve mentioned there was a massive fucking planet in the sky. 

I think my response was the closest exact representation to the emoji ’ 😐 ’ that anyone has ever successfully managed to create with their face. Life imitating art, that.
