I was reflecting on Jim Carrey's run of roles in the 90's (touching on the early 00's). The Mask, Ace Ventura, The Grinch, The Riddler, etc.

I found myself specifically thinking about just how much of the comedy in those performances wasn't simply the way lines were written or spoken, but was in the *physical* performances he put on. Facial expressions and body movements and whatnot.

So this clearly led to me trying to think of what other actors are out there in the modern scene who... aren't "comparable" (nobody can really match up to Carrey in that way), but *fit that same role.*

I was there for the camping part of the weekend, but didn't bother with tickets to go inside because Demi was the only performance I was familiar with.

Was it a standup set, or some other kind of performance from him?

As it says

I just feel like there are times where word choices and actions from the GM seem so intentional, like it's being carefully crafted to leave breadcrumbs, and then it just breezes by with no acknowledgement whatsoever. Everyone gets caught on the wrong details, or a joke takes over the narrative, or sometimes it's just somehow not clocked at all.

I especially feel like right now in CCoD, with the Coterie having a list of vague tasks to complete, it's often felt like Brennan has used conversations with NPCs to try and lead the players towards people/places that are important to some of those tasks, but the group just all get caught up in wanting to do other things (which is good, players should choose what they do and not get railroaded, but I just mean it feels like they aren't picking up on what's being put down).

Have there been any moments where you've thought, either perceived or later confirmed, that the GM was throwing something directly at the Party's face, and they don't even realize what they've just been hit with?

I'm sure it's been answered in some issue somewhere, but is Mystique's ability limited to copying/mimicking or is she capable of creating a form that she thought up? (Within reason, of course; Not like totally changing into another creature, but just a made up person)
