By the way it's been bothering me for years: Of all the props on the set of Um Actually, the only one I can't figure out what's wrong with is the Catan board over Trapp's shoulder. Does anyone know what the error is?

I notice this season has been way less formulaic than in the past, there used to be an almost perfect alternation between roleplay episodes and combat episodes and here we've had multiple combats split across episodes and multiple roleplay episodes in a row.

I like it. Me and a friend are watching together and the extremely long Night Yorb fight at the start put us both off, but the balance after that has been fantastic

I finished watching "A Court of Fey and Flowers," which was very dull and pointless, and I started on Neverafter. I'm a few minutes from the end of episode two, and I am confused about why this season is twenty episodes and not two. I think it's safe to say that fight was way too overtuned, even if it is supposed to be the 'horror' season. EDIT: From the Neverafter Episode 3 Adventuring Party: Brennan said that there's no universe in which no one goes down, but if things go well, at the end it might be medicine checks. But I don't see how that's possible given that pulling the glass shard didn't dis-animate the constructs. Because (1) there were twice as many constructs as PC's, (2) the constructs had higher HP than the PC's so that it wasn't feasible to kill them, and (3)the constructs would kill stabilized 0 HP PC's. I don't see how the PC's could retreat from that fight while carrying the inevitably downed members. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Mar 9, 2024 |

Neverafter would have been scarier if the cast had segregated the comedy bits more deliberately. In Fantasy High Sophomore Year everybody respected Kalina, but it seemed like any NPC in Neverafter was fair game to be the butt of a joke. The tone of the season suffered as a result.

Without spoiling anything Neverafter is the weakest season D20's ever had. When Brennan gets around to explaining how its world works, it's too obtuse to connect with. I saw what he was going for, but it gets increasingly hard to care when the setting is so untethered. Just gets progressively worse each episode unfortunately. There's some wonderful moments in it, and I'm glad they swung for the fences with it. Gave us Orange Hat, so it is a net good.

Neverafter is kind of messy as a whole, "Fairytales but scary" and "Fairytales but meta" are both well-trod ground and I don't think it ever completely gels together. However the bits are hilarious, the late-night mania of the Adventuring Party episodes is incredible, and I really liked some of the characters. When I was younger I had some vivid nightmares where I would come to the slow realization that I was 1) in a horror setting and 2) in a horror story and that I had no actual free will because no longer a person or even a character but an archetype and I was bound to the rules of the horror story even in my own brain and the cognitive dissonance woke me up. So I really liked the Evil Stepmother's schtick. Her incredulous "I don't even have my own name" really hits me. I don't care about the fairies or princess I just want 20 episodes of her eating her way out of stories.

Neverafter is better than CoC. Especially if I’m judging off of “did the tone land with me?” Edit: To expound a bit more, I don’t find any of the main cast to be particularly talented dramatic actors (at least in the dome.) So having Brennan attempt to do serious and be countered with comedy is preferable to the others attempting to also do serious.

i liked some of the early vibes of neverafter but the characters taking a piss out of huge existential threats and brennan leaning into it did make it hard to take certain villainous characters seriously

Brennan mentioned after EXU that he's learned it's really hard to maintain a horror high tension level for more than a handful of sessions and neverafter kinda shows that. I'd like to see another go at horror with a four-episode shot.

I listen to Call of Cthulhu podcasts a lot and even in the one shots the players are usually laughing more than in D&D shows. Tabletop horror tends to not be all that horrible OOC, unless the GM is going out of their way trying to make poo poo hosed up and disturbing, which is not everyone's cuppa.

Sudden Loud Noise posted:Neverafter is better than CoC. Fighting words. Said it everytime it comes up itt, but the first half of CoC is still among my favorite sections of any D20. It is astounding how well they land the GoT influence, and I'd argue up until a midway point that they never quite recover from it's legitimately gripping watching the family make their way back to Candia. I think one HUGE difference to me is that in CoC you can tell the players are invested in their characters completely in a way I don't think they reach in Neverafter. Part of that is probably a stakes thing, easier to lock in wanting justice for this family who's had the world turn against them than "these fictional storybook characters that keep dying are fighting to not die for real this time but they're also stories and there's multiple versions of them so...". They go in super giddy and by episode four or so it's already so much more serious. Rules. Can't defend the second half. It's still ok, but the weight gets dropped.

Realistically, if they were going to do a horror season in the first place, the Intrepid Heroes were not the crew to do it with, if only because all 6 of them are professional comedians. Every time one of them was genuinely spooked, somebody did a bit and the tension snapped. Even Mulligan blew up his own spot a couple of times. That's my biggest point of contention with Neverafter as a whole. You'd really have wanted to run it with a custom crew of people with horror chops: Erika Ishii, Taliesin Jaffe, Iyengar, Luis Carazzo, and maybe some actors or writers from the LA scene. Horror only works if you're willing to take it deadly seriously, especially in a format like a TTRPG.

neverafter shoulda 1) decided if it wanted to do "fairytale horror" or "meta horror" and 2) not have the party tpk 2 sessions in and then have a massive lore dump that tells the characters we've barely gotten to know that they are immortal and infinite and everything they knew is tiny and insignificant
