The latest talking dad gets into some of the alternate plans that they had to screw with anthony, and it's pretty wild; apparently they were this close to using an AI to deepfake his voice

I think the scenes with Freddie playing as Jimmy's dad are pretty hilarious, and everything with The Law (I can NOT remember that actor's name) is amazing, but I think I agree with seaborgium. I watched it when it first came out and really enjoyed it, but I haven't gone back to it since.

New episode. The last half hour has cinched the Daddpod as my favorite podcast right now.

I'm up to Episode 56 in the beginning-to-end Patreon marathon, and I'm glad I didn't listen to Talking Dads on my first listen through the cast. Talking Dads is great, but they frequently come up with joke ideas that Anthony will later use, and I prefer having surprises come out of nowhere.

Hey man, high level D&D and they've got a Druid in the party, it's fair game. Honestly they should have seen it coming.

Okay, not as fatal (initially  ), but getting players to gently caress themselves so you can gently caress them is beautiful.

ANTHONY (ep 66) Though I will say that if they had to kill one of the dads, Glenn probably is the easiest one to lose, if for nothing else than because we don't have to have any heartbreaking scenes about a son losing their dad. There's been enough crying already dammit I wonder if there's anything they could have done there? I imagine if they were faster on the draw, maybe they could have stopped it, they managed to burn through 2/3 of his legendary resistances in 15 seconds which is pretty rad under pressure. And props to Beth, who is on record as hating the actual game of D&D, for thinking quick under pressure in a pretty drat hard situation and doing something mechanically useful against an endgame boss; I am also playing a rogue in my first campaign, and my usual approach to situations in this ballpark is "i don't have magic so I'm just gonna be quiet and let the casters figure out what to do." I am also impressed at how calm Freddie was there. I hope they let him play an NPC or something for the finale Ainsley McTree fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Sep 9, 2021 |

Anthony seemed pretty straightforward that he wanted to create an endgame scenario where some of the players could actually die, and he seems like the type of guy to follow through on that kind of thing; if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Glenn being gone for good. Maybe a little easter egg side scene of Glenn in the afterlife, but I don't think he's coming back to affect things on the material plane

Ainsley McTree posted:ANTHONY This sounds mean, but they could have prepared better. It feels like Anthony has been trying to nudge them over the past few episodes saying "Willy has a dragon/army/nuke/etc." while all that the daddies had were their Fyre Fest joke army, a spy, and a plan that could easily, easily go wrong (and ended up not working anyway). The rest of the time they mostly spent doing therapy role-play. Freddie spent time actually beefing up his character. I'm oversimplifying what they've been trying to do, but the group has not been using its time wisely if Anthony is being 100% truthful about how he plans to conduct the endgame. I think this may have been his final warning that "The gloves are really and truly off."

It also sounded like Anthony's behind-the-scenes rolls for whatever he's doing for the bad guys were pretty powerful; dunno if that affects what happened in ep 66 though I'm also just realizing that the previous episode ended with Freddie literally saying "I hosed so good I can no longer be killed in one shot" lol. High level wizards are a bitch

Ron's bad blunt-rolling score should have been replaced by the 20 he got while being ratatouilled by Nick Jr. What a great podcast this is, that it can inspire such a sentence

Yea it'd honestly be worse if Payden actually solo'd the dragon. There was only one way our sweet, stupid, boy could go out and that was 100% confidently saying he's awesome and then eating absolute poo poo

I loved Beth being like "okay Anthony is taking this seriously so I should learn how to actually play this game" and then I'm pretty sure she accidentally broke it the other way because I don't think they realized sneak attack is only once per turn? Which like fair game, honest mistake when y'all have spent with years not knowing what it even was.

Which like fair game, honest mistake when y'all have spent with years not knowing what it even was. i feel like advantage sneak attack is one of the least successful things about 5e and it's really apparent just from how commonly hosed up it is even by experienced players and DMs (also i kinda miss the 3.5 rules where a well positioned rogue could alpha strike something to death with multiple sneak attacks per turn, now you have to be a paladin or someone with action surge to do that)

And it's not like they were ever really playing by the book anyway so honestly who cares eke out posted:i feel like advantage sneak attack is one of the least successful things about 5e and it's really apparent just from how commonly hosed up it is even by experienced players and DMs They should've just renamed it, "sneak attack" makes it sound like you can only do it from stealth (which is a reasonable thing to assume given what the rogue's whole archetype is). It should be called like, exploit weakness or something, you can and should be trying to get one in on every round of combat if you want to pull your weight as a rogue I feel like. I might just be fixated on podcasts loving up sneak attack though, because I've only played one d&d campaign and my character is a rogue, so I'm used to reflexively asking "and i get a sneak attack, right?" every time i stab someone and it's always funny to me when podcast players don't realize until 1,000 hours in how the mechanic is supposed to work
