NAAAAAAAAAUR HOW EMBARRASSING!! Every time my brain getting up and walking away from the table mid-thought and then never returning to it is put on blast, I age another decade... I wish I'd caught this earlier because I'd probably remember more of what I had wanted to say, sob. BUT!! That first paragraph was supposed to be a whole of of mod gushing, so I know that there were things I wanted to say about how you set up and ran the graveyard and how fun it was to go check it out once it was unlocked. I just appreciate everything you contributed from the mod side, from keeping us in order in the Discord to making sure the dead had plenty of things to keep up with! I'm sorry I can't remember everything I was going to write before, but please know I appreciate your work helping out with modding so much!!
But yes!! I really did think that Merlin hit just the right sweet spot. That's way easier said than done in this kind of environment, too, because I think so many people are already like...primed to be like "SUSPICIOUS MERLIN!!!" and "SUSPICIOUS MAN IN GRAVEYARD???" and yet it always felt like the perfect balance of "performative" kindness and genuine interest - never too much even though we and our characters are like hardwired to squint at strange mystical men.
Next time you play him I'll hopefully get the chance to jump all over him!! Points to eyes, points to you. Soon.
