You know what’s a lot of fun? Crafting spells you have absolutely no intention of ever casting.

Or like, crafting a spell with such specificity that it is functionally impossibly to cast.

what dnd actual play shows don't show u are just the long stretches of silence while ur players take notes/look through their things and the DM just stares off into space contemplating how little they prepared for the session

I sometimes think people legitimately don't realize that Poseidon is wrong in Ruthlessness and that he's not even actually being ruthless anyway.

In Ruthlessness, Odysseus and the crew of his main ship manage to get away because, rather than sinking the entire fleet in one go, Poseidon purposefully saves them for last so he can force Odysseus to watch him sink the rest of the fleet. This is not being ruthless. This is being sadistic and cruel, which is admittedly a mistake a lot of villains make.

Odysseus makes the same mistake later in Different Beasts, though in this case it turns the crew against him. Not only because of him being needlessly cruel in the way he ordered the sirens killed, but he was so busy going as hard as he could on "Becoming the Monster(TM)" that as some have pointed out, he never considered trying to find a way to protect his crew from Scylla, like, as many have pointed out, keeping some of them alive to use as bait for her or something.

Polities isn't entirely right either, since being too trusting is also not good, which the events of the song Open Arms hinted at. But I think the real answer is somewhere in the middle.

Knowing when to be kind/merciful and when to be actually ruthless without being cruel. Of course whether Odysseus actually manages to figure that out by the end of the musical remains to be seen. But I'm mostly saying this because a lot of fans seem to talk about Poseidon's little catch phrase like it's the actual over all message of Epic, when Mutiny kind of shows that it very likely isn't.

Also, another reason why Poseidon is wrong, is that while you can argue about whether Odysseus was actually being merciful to Polyphemus to begin with, Odysseus's real mistake during the Cyclops Saga was telling him his real name, just like in the original Odyssey.

Is it too much to ask that Eddie be full on bawling at the BuckTommy Wedding because his best friends are getting married and he can’t think of anyone better for them to be marrying, only for him to deliver the most savage roast of them for his speech at the reception?
