docbeard posted:Trinivale They also did a one-shot episode on April 23, 2021 in which Jens goes on a quest to find an engagement ring for his new fiancé that I would highly recommend. docbeard's right about the Triplets finding their voice about 3/4 into the actual campaign, but that one shot is where they perfectly fine-tuned it imo. It's absolutely lousy with Friends references and Onyx insanity. Well worth a listen, even if you decide not to listen to the full Trinivale campaign.

This has always been my thoughts on it. I think they started Trinyvale as an actual, serious campaign but when they seemed to realize very shortly in that it was more of a goof-off game it really took off. Their living situation, how Emily's character gets her power, Jake's Obsidian voice, it just gets more and more ridiculous and that's where the entertainment comes from for me.

I'm trying to decide on a single thing that summarizes what the triplets' deal is, and if I had to pick just one, I'd pick the fact that they have a teleportation stone but only use it to go to the airport

I think what I love so much about Trinyvale in the end is that it's so obvious how much fun they're all having with it. Like I don't think they're ever not enjoying themselves, but there's so much sheer joy in the way they play (and DM for) the Triplets.

Trinyvale's first three episodes being video live streamed probably informed its fuckaround tone too.

Weird Pumpkin posted:Well hot boy summer was hilarious so something less serious like that sounds fantastic it's a deeply lighthearted campaign where the players fully become bad guys by the end (but in a fun, always sunny kind of way), it's great, and I think they return to it just infrequently enough that it's a delight every time. The first few episodes aren't bad really, it just takes a few episodes for the party to find their group dynamic; once they do, it's off to the drat races. I still think one of my biggest laughs of the cast comes from trinyvale; i forget the specifics, but they've done a favor for some townsfolk, and the innkeeper offers them anything they want as a reward, and emily without missing a beat just says "I'll have...seven beers" such a petty little shithead thing to do, it was perfect

Because apparently, not being child murderers is a moral bar that the triplets just barely clears. Or the fact that they mentally broke Sonic the Hedgehog.

Also my favorite joke and one I constantly come back to is in the sonic two-parter where robotnik has commoner stats and the gimmick of his fight is that he has a bunch of armor and has trapped the triplets in a bubble, only for them all to get out and Nyaack hits him with one attack and brutally murders him. The subsequent scene with the triplets all freaking out that he murdered a man and promptly throwing Nyaack under the bus - “I didn’t mean to kill a commoner! A man of science! A scientist!”, only for Nyaack to immediately summon a jam copy of himself and accuse that jam copy of doing the crime, only for Jens to roll a nat 20 in deception such that literally everyone including the jam copy itself believes it murdered Robotnik.

I think it was Emily who observed that saying "gently caress this" and teleporting out of the BBEG encounter to stab an unarmed man is extremely the Triplets' vibe

It’s weird because he’s deeply and obviously madly in love with his insane wife, like for a professional grump like him it’s maybe the one time he’s openly and without reservation happy on-camera is when Emily does something that’s really reflective of her personality ( I’m reminded of the times on Dimension 20 when Emily does something that is only accessible to her own internal logic - Fig had a bunch of those, like Hilda Hilda or that hospital drama she accidentally became a part of). It very clearly makes him happy when she does insane poo poo like that, like you can see him visibly relaxing and just admiring her. It’s very sweet. I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that when he and Emily are playing characters as opposed to one dming the other, he often plays characters who end up directly supporting her as one of their priorities (I’m thinking about how Riz immediately went with her on her hospital drama adventure and silently ensured she didn’t die, or how Riz goes with Fig to hell in season 2, and a lot has been made about the sexy rat fiasco but what’s most notable is how he immediately decides to play a literal rat in the very next season of dimension 20) and she in turn will often do her weirdest poo poo whenever his character(s) are threatened, like “I disguise myself as him”. I don’t want to be some weird internet psychoanalyst, but it’s very sweet how a lot of their dynamic and actual relationship as people married to each other can be seen when they’re both roleplaying together, especially in an on-camera environment like dimension 20. Anyways here’s a bunch of videos I have to prove my point or for reference in case you don’t watch D20 (which you definitely should if you’re a fan of what Murph and Emily do on naddpod). Take special note of how Murph reacts whenever Emily does something insane. He loves his crazy wife. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BXGIOCqjTs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFMdwpGdY64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8beyFGjh79c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDap5gIPHZw

NieR Occomata posted:He loves his crazy wife. Oh he definitely does, but it seems like he's used to situations professionally where Emily says something buckwild and he just has to tell the room "listen, I know that sounds like something that begs for examination but we're on a schedule here and we cannot afford that, because it'll just suck us all into a weird time sink that'll eat up the day so please, for all our sakes, just let it go and let's just keep doing what we set out to do". I'm sure he's had some loving fascinating times when they're at home doing something mundane and she's said that kind of wild poo poo where they can afford to drill down into the silliness of the connections her mind has made, but he appears to be used to it and know "no, this isn't worth it; we cannot afford this" in a professional capacity, where it seems like Jake and Caldwell would be willing to jump after whatever she's dangling and get thrown completely off plan because of it.

There was some weird twitter thing a while back where someone was running a tournament of fictional wife guys, and somehow Murph kept winning even though he's not fictional. Just kept getting voted as coolest wife guy somehow. Don't remember if he won or not, but it was pretty funny at the time.

NieR Occomata posted:They did donkey Kong survivor again? That’s a real bummer to be honest. Is it? I suppose in a way I can see how it's like realizing as a teen that the vast majority of (successful) stand up comics tell a lot of the same jokes night to night across a given tour, refining them as they progress and only record them near the end of the tour but at the same time when some of the scenarios that they game are so interesting I know I'd want to run some of them multiple times to see what happens if Moonshine saves X character instead of killing them, or Bev actually makes Y prank work at the start instead of failing due to lovely roles or what have you. It'd be disappointing if it was scripted and played out identically, but if it's just the same situation and they improv new material inside that restriction then I don't think it's disappointing personally.

I think it's fine imo. I feel like they hit a lot of cities on this tour, so going back to the same well for a few of them seems fair enough, especially since the improvised nature means it'll never be the same show twice, just the same loose premise.

good ep today was a bit worried about leaning too hard into campaign 1 but i think this works really well, plus given the timing and locations of the players right now it makes a lot of sense and doesn't feel like it was pulled out of nowhere. also poor murph cannot catch a break.
