Started TAZ a couple of weeks ago and just now finished Balance and holy poo poo. My favorite line from the finale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkZQlVefscY Wish there were more animatics of it. Kazy fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Jan 9, 2020 |

I just listened to the new episode and the whole year theme discussion was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life, it took me ten minutes to realise that they were hearing "twenty" as "twunny" not "twenny" and even after I worked that out intellectually my brain just couldn't process it and I couldn't hear a vowel sound other than "e". So to me the entire time it was a conversation of people declaring stuff that clearly, obviously rhymes to be bad slant rhymes and stuff that clearly doesn't rhyme to be perfectly good rhymes. Brain language processing is hosed up. Did it really sound fine to everyone else? I gather it did since only one person in this thread has made any sort of comment about them pronouncing stuff weird. Except in my case their pronunciation sounded normal to me, they just then kept claiming stuff rhymed with it that didn't.

Yeah, when Griffin (I think?) was complaining about some bad slant rhyme I was legit confused. Definitely an interesting look into how the same sounds can hit ears very differently. Edit: like, are they making the claim that "funny" rhymes with "twenty"? I can't hear that no matter how I pronounce either word. Trapick fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jan 9, 2020 |

Travis needs to implement cleave rules if he's to going have 12 enemies at once, that's one thing that immediately made NADDPOD better with large encounters.

yeah there were 3 npcs there the whole time I guess? Also trav should definitely take some cues from NADDPOD because that's a 3-player fast and loose 5e podcast that makes combats exciting and that magmin thing was woof

There's a reason most modern tabletop games have rules for fighting a mob of enemies as if they're a single entity and doing "damage" to the enemy is represented by taking people out of the mob.

Ideally they would just have single digit health pools that let you use Cleave rules to swing through one and damage another. Travis realizing that 1: the encounter was going to suck for everyone except 2: Justin, who was about to smoke everything in 2 turns so he just noped out is indicative of pretty crappy encounter design. You see in a lot of NADDPOD encounters that their DM will have chaff characters but always some beefier mid-tier guys who need somebody to go one-on-one with them. Their party should be pretty good once they all fall into their respective roles, but right now it is the J-Train unless Travis gets creative

maybe it's because I'm a dork who likes the mechanics parts of rpgs, but I didn't find the fight that boring??? or find listening to combat in general boring. I'm still slightly mad about Griffin's subclass being OP but Travis obviously doesn't give a poo poo about balance and who cares as long as they're having fun? (it's me, I care. but I'm trying not to)

Finished the TAZ ep. My first thought was "oh poo poo, Leon's gonna get whacked by someone who thinks he knows too much" but I don't think Travis would murder a loveable NPC like that this early... or would he????

I spent a week trying to get my throat to form the sound properly and I can do it now but it takes effort. Metis of the Chat Thread fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jan 10, 2020 |

One thing that really struck me about this TAZ was how, after the initial fight, it took them a bizarrely long time to get anything done. There were multiple times during the episode where I was like, “why is nobody attempting to make any progress?” It was particularly noticeable near the end where they had the Xorn calmed down, it was cooperating with them and doing whatever they asked of it, and it still took them like 15 minutes to get the picture of it with the paper. I’ll chalk it up to rustiness after a month off.Stroop There It Is posted:maybe it's because I'm a dork who likes the mechanics parts of rpgs, but I didn't find the fight that boring??? or find listening to combat in general boring. Same, but I’m glad he put an end to it after one round. Some Strange Flea posted:Squirl Girl or Squirrel Girrel? https://youtu.be/0FRD4uq1mVw

In fact, the Mcelroy family being remarkably bad at puzzles is one of my favorite running jokes in TAZ. Was also pleasantly surprised to see Clint be the one to figure out the answer, that fit in well with the emerging characterization of Argo being the smart one of the group.
