Sadly, MBMBAM also referenced Rock-a-Doodle so it's clearly time to end it.

Loving Dust so far, I really enjoyed the Banshee reveal. And yeah, the townspeople all making fun of Errol was excellent.

One thing I’m a little confused about. They are suspicious of Liam becuase his diggers are covered in silver dust, and so were the body’s wounds. However, I could have sworn that the wounds were covered in silver and copper dust. Is my recollection faulty, or did the copper dust get written off as irrelevant for some reason? I am pleasantly surprised by that rapport that has developed between Gandy and Agustus. Maybe she reminds him of his daughter.

I'm surprised no one mentioned how super suspicious it was that Liam's digger gloves had both been recently cleaned AND were covered in dust. My guess is that he killed the guy, then cleaned the blood off the gloves, then put silver dust on the gloves to hide the fact they had just been cleaned. Pretty sure that was a major clue they didn't pick up on.

Yeah, I was thinking this as well, but I was also starting to get suspicious of Connor (the Sheriff?) since I think he's said the least about himself, and it doesn't feel like the Banshee would lie about something like that

the main trio in dust is my favorite so far, but as a tradeoff the npcs have all been pretty unmemorable except uncle oni and the banshee actually I don't really remember a lot of the npcs from these mini arcs. the technopath girl and the king of the usa from commitment, mama and minerva from amnesty (beacon too but he's played by justin so that doesn't count) Raserys fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Mar 21, 2018 |

sexpig by night posted:American Tail and Land Before Time are classics you savage Neither of them hold up at all, but that doesn't mean they aren't culturally significant, and I will go to bat for Rock-a-Doodle even though it is, on the whole, total garbage. The Secret of Nimh and that Scissor Sisters video are legitimately great.

Aside from Secret of Nimh (which I rewatched a few years ago), I have a much clearer memory of 90s Bluth (i.e. what I actually grew up with) than I do 80s Bluth (which was being buried by sequels by the time I was a thing). I need to see American Tail again, at least. I think I finally figured out why Dust is just not doing it for me: a lot of it feels so much like the Magnus Drama Hours segments from later in Balance, only Travis is doing it here without the buildup those had that made them work.

It was supposed to be that it was metallic dust that could be copper or silver and they couldn't tell which without further investigation. Uncle Oni confirmed it was silver after Gandy spent a question on it. Conners seems really off to me. Something was said in episode 1 about him being able to see truths, making him a good sheriff because he always acted on those truths. But he can't see the truth of this murder and is willing to prosecute Dillon for the 'good' of the town? Am I missing something or is that dude straight lying to get away with his own plan?

Thanks for clarifying. I think what Connors is trying to get across is that, when word spreads that Jeremiah has been killed, the townsfolk are going to want someone to hang for it, and currently Dylan is the main candidate. If he doesn’t have someone else to point to then his choices are to either hang Dylan, or to be run out of town on a rail so that the townsfolk can hang him themselves. However, nobody they’ve met so far has really given off any bloodthirsty vibes. Maybe Connors did the murder, or is in cahoots with the person who did, and wants the main trio to find an even better scapegoat.

I mean I think at this point it's obvious Liam did the murder out of jealousy of Ann marrying a fang, but I think he had a push from 'ol Conners to seal the deal.

I haven't listened to episode 3 yet, but the explanation in episode 1 was more like he can tell if someone's lying, but he doesn't necessarily know what the truth is.

Has Travis said who actually owns the mine? I know it’s “the Blackwell’s mine” but was it owned by Jeremiah or did he not specify beyond that?

Well that's that. Still very obviously inferior to amnesty, mostly because I don't think Travis can really put together a strong enough through line, but it did pick up a bit at the end, and it IS still better than the nothing that was commitment. Curious about what Justin's arc will be.

Dust is easily my favorite of the three arcs, and if they don't choose it I'll be a little disappointed.

Waffleman_ posted:I mean, it was better than Amnesty in that it was a role playing game. Yeah, it did feel a lot less rail road-y, though if they go with Amnesty hopefully that's just because Griffin really needed to nail down a lot of plot. I also like how Dust, unlike Amnesty, doesn't do the "main characters know a secret that they have to keep from everyone else" thing, that both Amnesty AND Balance did. I think I liked the setting of Commitment the best, I really like superhero stories, though I wish Griffin's character was a little more interesting. I ended up liking Amnesty a lot more at the end, but it felt like it took a while to get there. Dust is also my favorite by far. The main characters are all great and the setting is cool as gently caress. I really like how different and non-combat-oriented it was, as well. Made it really interesting, even though I like a lot of the fights from Balance. Excited to see what they're announcing next week.

Yeah Commitment was alright but it suffered from being the first mini-arc and I didn't find the King of the USA all that compelling. Amnesty split up the party for waaaaaay too long and I just didn't find the plot/premise very interesting. Dust has some neat mechanics and just sorta came together better than the previous arcs. Can't wait to hear Justin's.

Waffleman_ posted:I mean, it was better than Amnesty in that it was a role playing game. Yeah this. Amnesty had the better storyline, perhaps, but even Commitment was better than Amnesty in that it had actual roleplaying and not just the GM talking by himself for the better part of the whole arc with minimal to no input from the players. With some tweaking and true life-or-death scenarios, Dust would be the best choice for next campaign for TAZ. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Justin tells his brothers to gently caress off in terms of his turn in the GM seat as he is currently playing "lets raise Baby #2"

Yes what a thrilling role playing game it was too, especially the part where they did nearly nothing interesting for 3 episodes straight and the 4th episode had an NPC finish off the boss. There were some bright spots like Gandy gambling and everything Augustus did but mostly it was pretty dire. Rody One Half fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Mar 23, 2018 |

Justin’s arc will be 4 Sherlock Holmes raising a baby who is also Sherlock Holmes. I like the idea of Amnesty, but don’t like the execution. It felt like Griffin wanted to avoid the “start a game without much planning” that Balance had so much that he swung to the opposite end and started a planned story without much game.

I haven’t listened to the latest Dust (thanks for the spoilers btw) but I’m curious what exactly you’re looking for in this. What I’m looking for is a story created by four people woth one bringing the setting and the others instigating the action. Dust was great for that, because every event was a direct result of something the players decided to do. With Amnesty, I don’t think the players’ actions had any effect on the story. That is, I think things would have played out the same way no matter what Justin, Travis, or Clint decided to do. In contrast to Balance, Commitment, and Dust, I can’t think of a single opportunity they had to alter the course of the story. The way I see it, that makes it one fourth as interesting at best. EDIT: Let me make it clear that I’m not trying to debate you into a different opinion or say yours is wrong or anything. It’s just that I can’t think of anything that Amnesty did best out of all three mini-arcs, but if it is your favorite so far then you can. What is it? Combat?

Dust was better than Amnesty or Commitment IMO. I wouldn't be too disappointed if this is what they went with but am also interested in what Justin could bring to the table. If his GMing is half as good as his characters then buckle up. On the other hand I can see Justin just not having the time or desire to commit to GMing a game.

Got my ticket for the Columbus show, mostly caught up on MBMBAM and TAZ. A few long drives tomorrow and I should be golden. I'm liking Dust quite a lot, especially that it doesn't feel railroaded like Griffin's arcs.
