sexpig by night posted:snampersand ASPersand, superior portmanteau Edit: Holy poo poo, I was looking at MBMBAM animatics and fell into a Youtube vortex and ended up on their Hatsune Miku bit. Justin's comment about being on David Letterman led me to check to see if that had actually happened. It did. And that youtube page has probably my favorite comment I've ever seen: "Hatsune Miku has more talent then today's song/ music artist's, and she is a computer program. Her songs are written by people who have no experience in music, and they are some of the most catchiest tunes ever created. Hatsune Miku is better then any and all bands because she can do something they can't, she can play any rift (if you know anything about music, then you'll know what a rift is) you program into her, she never needs to sleep, and she will never die or age."

My new job rotation is on graves so I've been flying through TAZ. Still think that Justin is the best player, Travis is the worst loving cheater if ALL time, and their dad is the best.

If Travis didn't cheat he would be able to do gently caress all in combat, because most versions of D&D are really bad games and hate non-casters a lot.

"if you know anything about music, then you'll know what a rift is" Why is THIS what bothers me about this moron's post, and not anything else?

Justin also ignores both casting times and components that need to be bought. It's just more noticeable when Travis cheats since he obviously just fudges rolls

That's one of the major balance points, it is supposed to be, for wizards, the need for spell components, but most players and even dms ignore it cause going shopping for ingredients and keeping track of inventory is really boring unless you are pretty talented at painting a scene.

No shade, but I wonder exactly how many listener questions there are that can either be summed up as "am I good?" or "how do I avoid having an awkward conversation?". Like what the exact percentage was for each. E: Are spell components really that important? Wizards and such usually automatically get a component pouch or a focus. I think what's way more obvious is that they don't prepare spells and seem to pull whatever they want from their lists. (Or in some cases, from another list.) E2: It was probably a goof, but I was kind of astounded when Justin seemed to have no idea what he was supposed to do when a character died. Mainly because it was around the time of The Suffering Game, so like after an entire year or two of playing dnd on a regular basis.

I've not played a game of DnD yet where anybody gave a poo poo about components, unless it was a pretty broken ridiculous spell that probably shouldn't be used on a total whim. It's just a boring aspect of the game. We usually do make a token effort of paying some attention to cast time and range though because those have led to some fun situations. 'You need to find a way into touch range to cast this, try not to die' is infinitely more interesting than telling a player they can't do something because they forgot to buy feathers or whatever.

Also, I think the number one role of DnD is that the rules shouldn't overrule fun, and the boys know fun. I'm only just wrapping up the Murder on the Rockport Limited story, but DnD is collaborative story telling, and Justin is making the best calls to be his character in the story -- what would Taako do, vs What would I do.

I had Travis-like rolls at DnD last night. I can't imagine rolling that well for 69 straight sessions.

The thing about spell components are that anything without a gold cost is just flavor text and is included in the starting component pouch/replaced by arcane focus. But anything with a cost is something you actually have to buy in order to not have people just use that spell constantly. Like for example using a sapphire worth 1000 gp means you have to actually buy a sapphire for 1000 gold and not just say you use one. Then of course "cheating " in this type of game only really matters if you make the game less fun for everyone. It's not like you are directly competing with your party members.

There's also that old D&D mentality of GM vs players, which TAZ most definitely is not.

Yeah, Justin just picks a spell and does it. Does it take an hour to cast? Does it cost 1000 GP? Who cares!

Not for nothing but it is pretty hard to fail at combat as a 5th edition fighter because you have insane bonuses I'm at level 5 and the sword I have has a +8 to attack (it's a +1 sword and with my stats I have a +7 to attack with most weaponry) And the great sword bonus lets you reroll damage dice that are 1s and 2s They have to overcompensate for the fact that fighters don't get to do some of the crazy poo poo of 4e

Really excited for when Clint doesn't understand the rules of the game he's running and the internet comments about it. I've listened to actual play podcasts and never made it past one episode.

I really liked TAZ at the beginning when it was more goofy and fun. The stolen century arc just really dragged for me and was not fun at all. I've still got the last two episodes to listen to, and I just can't bring myself to do it.

I think the trade off is that in early TAZ the pace is a lot choppier because they don't know how to roll and check and stuff

Somehow, despite literally no TAZ for 5 more days we have rekindled the long dead, cast times and ingredients, Travis cheats, the show was better when they were taking about getting boners when they killed something, and Griffin had a hard time saying goodbye to his baby that he poured over for 3 years debates. Sure glad we lost the polygon stuff. This poo poo is ribbled right here.
