I feel like if they're going to have one of the boys die, it's not going to be via combat but rather as making a sacrifice, so I'm sure there will be a few more fights in the arc, but not many since he wouldn't want to accidentally get them into a situation where one of them fails a series of rolls real bad and just ends up straight up dying (which would almost definitely be Taako at this point).

I think clint would be the best DM. Justin would be good but didn't he do TAZ Nights? That was way too heavy on world building. And didnt they say Travis never wanted to dm?

Ah, OK. Yeah Clint should DM the next one. He's got the comic book experience going for him, and I think his goofy humor would really shine through in a DM setting.

But that's what half the TAZ posts in this thread already are, and it's the loving worst!

Idk, TAZ Nights had a lot of world building for a one-shot but it would be fun for a longer campaign. He just had to front-load the exposition to set the stage, rather than revealing things over time the way Griffin has done.

Watch Justin's top five games of 2016 video, he talks about how he finds Minecraft overwhelming and only likes to build the Lego model from the instructions. He's just not the kind of person who would want to or even be able to DM a game. He's funny as poo poo but he's not a super creative person.

Clint would not be a good DM because then he would actually have to learn the rules. It is very easy for a novice DM to gently caress up 5th edition combat and murder everyone.

Griffin is the DM; a great DM, and perhaps the only DM worthy of the title on TAZ. I haven't heard TAZ: Nights yet and I'm sure Trav does a great job, but Griffin is just so good it's hard to imagine anyone else doing it

Clint shouldn't run DnD. Clint should run one of the more rules-lite systems, like Dungeon World or any of the *World variants.

I'm envisioning a scenario where the three of them somehow have to choose which one of them will die. (Which would almost just be a transparent setup to kill Magnus because of course he'd insist on doing it, but whatever.) With the way these guys have managed to combine goofs with high emotional drama so far, that would make for one amazing scene.

I agree. I don't know too many systems to compare it to but that was my thought as well. Dungeon World is quite easy. I only played one session before I felt comfortable DMing it myself. It would also be a good fit for the kind of group storytelling they do.

From the little I know about tarot, these are all really spot-on character choices too.

yea Justin is really clever and fantastic at playing off others but he seems like the kinda guy who can very easily be overwhelmed by choices, so throw him in a wide sandbox and say 'yea you can literally do anything you want here' he may not be as down for that vs just playing a role and reacting.

The only two I can't figure out are The Magician and The Tower.

Edit: Looked it up, The Magician is Avi, The Tower is Julia.

Get bashed, platonist!

The Magician is Avi, you can see the cannonball containing the THB behind him. The Tower is less clear. At first I thought it was the Refuge clock tower, but then I saw that the figure is dropping a pair of tongs. It's Julia.

I think I got pretty much all of them bar one or two

0: Taako
1: ??? Avi?(the BoB guy who launches the glass spheres)
2: Voidfish
3: June/Temporal Chalice (11th hour)
4: Klarg
5: Red Cloak
6: Killian & Carey Fangbattle
7: Sloane & Hurley (Petals to the Metal)
8: Magnus
9: Yohan the bard
10: Team Rocket Elves (Suffering Game)
11: Istus, Goddess of Fate (11th Hour)
12: either Jack or Isaac (11th Hour)
13: Kravitz
14: Noelle (Crystal Kingdom)
15: The Grand Relics
16: Destruction of Fandolin
17: Angus
18: The Director
19: Merle
20: Roswell (11th Hour)
21: Lucas (Crystal Kingdom)



E: I guess Julia/ravens roost also makes sense for 16, thought that might have been Noelle in the foreground
E2: man did 11th hour have a lot of good characters.

Yeah that one could be way clearer. It seems like, similar to Kravitz's dreadlocks, the fanartists have all kind of settled on giving Julia that big poofy hairdo, but without that context it kinda just looks like a bunch of shapes. Julia is a perfect choice for the Tower card though, it basically means 'sudden horrible destruction/upheaval out of nowhere'

It's the hammer and tongs that give it away as Julia rather than the figure itself.

Oh it looks like if you go to the blog tag for 'taz tarot,' you can see earlier posts where the artist says who they all are. Blasmeister has it except for-

The Hanged Man (16) is Isaac rather than Jack. (Looking at the meaning of that card, it's almost hilariously apt - meanings include feeling suspended outside of time, renouncing a claim, giving up control, ending a long struggle)
The Tower (16) is Julia.

I want to believe that the reason Travis and Griffin go along with Munch Squad is because Justin is throwing around the power that comes from being Oldest. Same reason Justin and Griffin poo poo on Sad Libs. On both segments the non-performing brothers are audibly annoyed...

I think most of the time they acted annoyed when Justin started Haunted Doll Watch, just because their other tradition is one of them springing a bit out of nowhere. As soon as a bit has something funny to goof on, they drop the annoyance so they can keep momentum going. Weird that never happened with a Sad Lib...
