Also he played a very joker-like character so there's plenty of him doing a sick grin. He also looks like he put on 20lbs of muscle for jedi survivor 🤔
I really like this bit for Anwen - so much of the last few episodes have been negotiation, talking, politics, and she's a hammer. I'm glad to see her relief at being able to be direct and physical being acknowledged.
> Vahid shrugs with feigned nonchalance. "They will be lead by one of the greatest warriors at the World's Edge." He gestures dramatically to Anwen. "Anwen of Stonetop — she has defeated champions of the Hillfolk and the Stonefolk in the circle. She has faced terrible beasts of the wild and berserkers driven mad by dark magic. She wields an ancient blade forged from makerglass."
>Anwen unlimbers the Bearkiller axe from her shoulder and lets its heavy blade fall, striking a fallen stone at her feet and cleaving it neatly in two with a loud crack and a flash of white sparks. “Come, then.”
SHEESH. That's a threat display worthy of a David Attenborough narration 🤣. Well written.
"Hopefully the heightened action and fast progress doesn’t strain your suspension of disbelief too much"
Not at all. I mean, huge grain of salt because I'm a superfan, but the pace doesn't seem rushed so far, just urgent. I also expect things to pick up now that the word is out, and the PCs have to force the issue in every meeting - there's no time in-game for faffing, and it makes sense for that to be reflected narratively. Great that PbtA is flexible enough to accommodate that zooming in and out/roll condensation.
Cameron Monaghan's casting was a surprise, but he has seriously been hitting the weights.
This one did not actually have a celebrity reference, but after googling Mr. Monaghan, he'd certainly be a frontrunner. :)

Holy shit you're right!
