The Dragon Lord's power
- Shortly into the campaign, the Dragon Lord brutally murders Butt Stallion. The party is shocked by this turn of events, including Tiny Tina. However, it begs the question; why is Tina Tina, the gamemaster in charge of the campaign, surprised by the death of Butt Stallion? Is the Dragon Lord, a fictional character invented by Tina, somehow able to override Tina? What gave a fictional character the power to override his creator?
- It could be a result of Tina’s own psychosis, or she could have siren powers not even she is aware of. She is not the most stable of people, prone to making strange, impulsive, sometimes irrational decisions constantly, so one of her random thoughts would be to have Queen Butt Stallion slain and the Dragon Lord to score a major victory, and the implications of it only came to her after the fact.
- Maybe the Dragon Lord rolled a 20 on his attack to hit Butt Stallion, which Tina wasn't expecting.
- Another theory proposed by YouTuber EruptionFang
connects the Dragon Lord's sentience to the Lodge on Xylourgos. - Also? Tiny Tina is INSANE. It's possible that she developed a split personality, that considers the Dragon Lord a real being. Or, like in "The Gamers"? B&B is a real world she's accessing. Which would be horrific.
- From an out-of-game standpoint I took it as Tina accidentally breaking the Butt Stallion figure, possibly with the Dragon Lord one (perhaps carelessly knocking it off the table) when she intended to do something else, and then panicking.
Zomboss=GenIVIV?
- So one enemy character, Zomboss, sounds AND talks like GenIVIV who wouldn't be introduced until the next game. They never explain this like they do with Paladin Mike/Lorelei. Is it possible Tina encountered her online like she did Lorelei? Are ALL GenIVIV systems like that and Tina based her off another one she met?
- GenIVIV was using a standard voice skin that she thought Jakobs might like. So, yeah, this seems to be something that Tina definitely could have encountered before.
