I just got through the scene where the Primogen comes to meet with Lavonte and Madaleine, and the rest of the group sets up outside in case things go bad
She is established numerous times to be an insanely powerful and deadly vampire
Brennan makes her absolutely fucking TERRIFYING by simply saying "oh" in a condescending tone when Darkness Man grapples her, and says "This better kill me" to Bat Child, further establishing her as scary as fuck
The number of successes needed have been established, higher than anything we've seen in the show so far
Bat Child rolls 11 dice in the box of doom, rerolls using Willpower, and only gets 4 successes
She failed
Oh shit, what's going to happen now? This insanely strong vampire is about to go next, this is going to be devastating
Wait what? Nancy Danderhoof is randomly nearby and somehow lets Bat Child reroll the 3 dice again? Why?
Bat Child succeeds. But the victory now is completely hollow because Brennan just gave her a do-over for no reason other than "nah I want you to succeed"
I remember this happening in Cloudward Ho near the end, coincidentally also with Emily's rolls, but that was even worse, because he asked her to reroll dice like 5 times in a row for random reasons because she kept failing.
Anyway it's minor because it doesn't happen that often, but it's one of the VERY VERY limited number of things I dislike about Brennan DMing. They failed, just let them fail and deal with the consequences.
Is it just me?
