No, that monologue happens after they get the masks, that's why he's explaining he relates with the mongoose in the first place.

All of Travis' future progeny will call films "Paul Blarts", as in "Well, shucks, thanks dad, that Paul Blart 'Schindler's List' was prety touching."

Guys, I'm pretty sure Taako didn't also have perfectly spherical shoulders and elbows either. I'm willing to bet that the character model is not final so the hot pants shouldn't need to be scrutinized...

I just binge-listened to the last 5 episodes of Petal to the Metal and holy poo poo. I actually cried. That was some crazy storytelling. It's enough for me to forgive Travis just pretending to roll dice the entire campaign.

People complaining about fudged rolls don't seem to understand that without those he probably wouldn't be able to add anything to any fight. 3.X/5 DnD sucks if you're not a caster man.

This video popped up on my Youtube recommendations today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwnEtyAa26g Way back in episode 35 Griffin refers to a hypothetical son as "Henry" which is pretty cool.

padijun posted:Players trying stuff and the DM assigning a skill check and/or dis/advantage is the cornerstone of 5e It is because the designers didn't or couldn't design another type of system. Hell even that is completely busted because there's no real rhyme or reason for what or how to set the DC/Apply bonuses/etc and they never really decided if they wanted to do the traditional +X as item/feat/class skill bonuses or actually use their new advantage system so most of the character option are just mathematically garbage traps. This is all also ignoring the massive flaw in this Class Based RPG where some classes get hard wired Definite ways to interact with the world and change it that the DM can't oppose without just saying "No you can't use your class thing" (Spells and Caster class abilities) while other classes rely entirely on some mother-may-I style nonsense where they say "Can I do this DM?" and the DM has to decide if that player gets to do the cool thing. Admittedly it's not unworkable if you have a good cool DM that isn't a sad angry control freak, which is sadly rare in most Tabletop circles. Basically TAZ is cool in spite of the system they're playing in and Griffon is a really really great DM and while that's apparent just by listening knowing how busted the toys their working with makes you realize just how good he is at it.

Well the point was 5e is suited to TAZ because it strongly encourages make-em-ups (and gives a few suggestions for it) instead of rigidly adhering to the skill/combat rules of previous versions.

Griffin has done a great job of taking a lovely system and making it into good radio. Most successful actual play podcasts have figured out how to do this, but few are as listenable as TAZ.

It doesn't encourage it, it forces it with vague writing, overuse of optional rules and edge cases. If I wanted rules light d&d I'd go with old-school Basic d&d with the d20 roll-under the stat to do stuff. It's basically what TAZ is doing already.

I don't play DnD at all (Despite wanting to but never finding a group) but it does seem like there are multiple points where any other DM in Petals to the Metal, from what i've read, would have given the gang a game over. One for killing the Hammerhead, another for Tacco being out of spells during the final boss fight Griffin is taking a story first approach over rules and trying not to kill off the PCs. Honestly is I was a DM, thats what I would do. Also, is the Adventure Zine for sail to people who didn't kickstart it?
