That's what we call a joke, my friend. The robot asked a silly question and it's funny.

But thats not how it's initially presented? like Trav has his rant about how it's not going to be the same as the IRL person (and during that he says he knows who it is in the real world) and the history skill but it's not initially a joke, just a random question

A real answer might have been "Greeks" and not an individual name. But Greeks don't exist in Faerun so Travis was justifiably confused.

As I recall, one of the boys said math at the same time as another one said history, so Hodgepodge asked a Math History question. Anyway, to answer your question, yes. Here in America we are absolutely taught that Mathematics was invented by a man named Douglas Jameson Math.

Zeeman posted:What does a history skill normally do in non-trivia based D&D anyway? It can be useful to make sure PCs have a shot at knowing things that players can't/don't, or to make sense of why the PC legitimately knows something a player does "out of character".

Zeeman posted:What does a history skill normally do in non-trivia based D&D anyway? You roll it to learn stuff about the world. The GM might have a list of facts and different things you learn at different DCs. In more progressive systems, a "History roll" would let the player establish facts about the world instead.

It can help improve rolls if you're trying to glean information about artifacts, locations, people or groups of interest, etc e:f,b

Please relisten to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_2HbLCBfhw&t=244s No-one reacts like it's a dumb or weird question, Justin causes random goofs to come off it but no-one reacts like the question itself is a bit or a goof

Pocky In My Pocket posted:Please relisten to this - The payout of the goof is that the answer to the question was extremely stupid, especially after Justin got all fussed up about actually using an in-character skill check for once. The question itself is utterly immaterial. It could have been anything and the same formula could have easily prevailed. I really liked it.

The correct answer is loving Doug Math, that should make it crystal clear that it was a joke regardless of anybody's response to the question

Is that what you're saying?

"I of course know the real answer, which I could totally say, but won't, because reasons" is basically the equivalent of what Justin said. If you think he was being serious there, then... oof.

Justin (and you) thought Griffin was going to give him the answer for his good roll, Griffin wanted justin to use his good roll to come up with a good (read: funny) answer.

That is insane
