The broadcast gods took a swing. Mid-fight, the stream flatlined, the VOD sealed itself like a tidy little coffin… and we cold-started back into carnage with no intro, no countdown, just adrenaline. In Tech Diaries, I walk you through the crash playbook—why momentum dies, how to necromancy it back, and the safeguards that keep a severed signal from killing the story (crash slate, local record, split hotkeys, pin-the-link, go).

Then the knives turn inward. In the Recap: a vision of chains and a goddess dimmed, a mark that isn’t just a mark, a spymaster with smoke for answers, and three doors no one wants to open—Menest, the Oracle, or the hunt for an ember that might save a god… or light a fuse. Deep Dive closes us out: Fences, Not Cages—how limits at the table (flight, water folk, banned options, yes even Silvery Barbs) keep the ride fast without caging the players. No answers here. Just the ticking. Come hear which door opens—and who gets pushed.
