Keeping figurines in the box is absolutely not a new thing, with Pops it’s just way more obvious because people make drat walls of the things. They feel soulless.

collecting funko pops is the toy collecting equivalent of collecting Target/Walmart/Urban Outfitters tee shirts

Pops are loathsome things that have totally devoured all the shelf space for any other form of collectable at local comics shops

Could not tell you a drat thing about what they're trying to accomplish in Dust, but everything with Gus P. is still the best and the ongoing bit about Callan's parrot endears Clint more and more. He just can't help himself.

SamuraiFoochs posted:This makes way more sense. Still a clunky aspect of the system though imo. the point is that it passes the authority on what info you get to the player rather than the gm. its helpful to not think of them like skill checks from dnd, which have a reversed authority, where the gm calls for a check when you perform an action. its much more naturalistic to be able to ask "whats the biggest threat to me in this room?" and find out its the shotgun rube goldberg machine behind the counter, than have the gm go "make a spot check. okay you failed. dont worry about it"

You're not meant to speak the questions in character like they're doing in Dust. They represent the PC figuring someone out detective-style. They're prescribed questions because if you hit a success and get to ask one of them, the MC is supposed to answer it honestly and completely in a way that's helpful to you vs. a traditional Perception check where the DM can tell you a detail of their choice on a success, so they retain more control over what gets revealed. It's narrower but more powerful, and the idea is that it gives the players more control over the story. Being limited to a list of options also creates genre, ideally, although I'm not sure if Urban Shadows does this well or poorly - there's a lot of bad PbtA out there. But one of the big conceits of the system is that it's not universal - instead it caters to telling very specific types of story. Giving the players limited options creates conflict and forces them to play to the mores of the genre they're in, if you do it right.

I’m enjoying Dusk so far. This may be may favorite of the campaigns after Balance. I think Erika isn’t getting “in the mix” of banter quite enough, but that’s to be expected considering your playing with people who have known each other all their lives; it’ll come in time.

I really want to enjoy Dust because it seems like all the players are really throwing their whole asses into their characters and are generally having a fun time, but maaaaan Travis is not good at DMing.

I think actual play podcasts can succeed when they either try to make a really good show or try to have a really good time, and the boys (especially Travis) try to force both at once and it falls flat.

My sister and BIL collect Funko's. She got me two for Christmas one year; some Star Wars prototype clone trooper and something else I can't remember. I guess my disappointment was palpable because she hasn't gotten me any since. I would just sell them but they're not worth the effort, I checked.

Stuff like that which is made to be collectible rarely is as collectible as people think it'll be. I think there's some stupidly valuable funko but iirc its all like blindbox poo poo that was sold at a single comicon and stuff

I swore off seeing another TAZ live show, but drat if that'd make me reconsider that. They are good shows, but it gets grating having an audience that primed to laugh and holler at *every* breath. Fine that that's their jam, but it's like watching a Football game where someone is treating every play, regardless of the play, like a touchdown. A bit much.

the live TAZ are my favorite; the live MBMBAM are my least favorite. one of my best friends has the exact opposite reaction fake edit: the energy of the last couple live MBMBAM has been much better than the normal energy, though
