I can't picture what playing a TTRPG GMed by Amy would be like given how she seems to get the giggles at the slightest thing.

Gaz-L posted:Basically, one person on the panel being likely to know a given answer is more fun to me to watch than 3 people blindly guessing until Ify gets bored and goes 'close enough'. And it makes it fun when that person gets sniped by someone either blindly guessing or surprisingly being able to logic it out. Or someone being so excited that they know the answer because they're a fan that they have to jump in as fast as they can, and in doing so forget to preface the answer with "Um, actually..." and in doing so end up losing the answer to the thing they're best placed to know.

Physical bits make a game so much better, goddamn. I need to convince my online group to meet up again in-person. The group entirely forgetting the combat to yell at Lou as he writes an essay is so fuckin funny. Pleads fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Apr 18, 2024 |

So hey. How the hell did they do the "I've been here the whole time" twist on Escape the Green Room? How was Sam talking to them at his podium in the studio while also being tied up in the bathroom? The behind the scenes video doesn't cover it, which makes me think he just opened the door when they solved the puzzle, walked in and sat down because...how else would he get there?

I believe the behind the scenes does show him just walking in while they're in the crawlspace. And some of the reactions in the video are either very generic, or Sam throwing in prompts that he doesn't need to respond to.

SAme with the essay question. 5 minutes for a 300 word essay is a word a second without stopping. You can write faster than that but you can't stop to think. I"m not certain I could write "butts" 300 times in five minutes. I was impressed with Lou trying to write an essay with five people shouting things at him, and when they realized it MIGHT not be helpful and asked him, he was like "Eh, 50/50".

Nitpicking, but where's the expanded critical range coming from? Barbarian gets extra damage dice on critical hits, but it's Champion Fighters who get the wider range.

Thordain posted:I think the Heavy Metal Axe gets an expanded crit range whenever he attacks with advantage. Its exactly that. Crit range expands to 19-20 if the attack is rolled with advantage. It also grants advantage on the next attack against target X that round if Gorgug ends up missing two attacks against them that round.

I'm not sure he would know crumpletilda cobblestone was the one who killed him? She was invisible and just sliced his neck instantly. I'm kinda curious what's up with Helio these days, Brennan hinted he was having a bad time of it in the S2 finale.

I assume the watchertv site looking just like dropout but not quite as stylish is more because they used the same turnkey solution, but that ain't helping.

Wungus posted:I hope it works out for them. I have absolutely no interest in subscribing (and even if I did, they don't have an easy way to watch that fits into my watch habits) but if they're able to make a living without giving money to Google/Youtube and without needing to format their content in a way that satisfies the bullshit whims of advertisers, hell yeah. If only 1% of the current Watcher Youtube subscribers sign up for $5/mo, that's still something like $1,740,000 a year, which hopefully is enough to let some weirdos go make weird videos as a career. I mean let's be honest most people watch for Puppet History now. It has had both members of the Um Actually hosts as guests to tie this back to Dropout

I don't see watcher really doing it. Like I have been a patron since literally they launched on my birthday so like this isn't someone talking out their rear end about it Edit: also their patron is still up but will exclusively for their podcasts so this seems even stupider

Brennan made a good point in the Adventuring Party that as easy as they made it look, they were a couple hits/saves from disaster/almost instant deaths, and their tank tanked like 100+ points of damage. He called it a ridiculously deadly CR encounter but the wave format (and their nuke damage) spread out that danger to make it more than manageable.
