One-breath-rant Griffin is the best, but God bless truly exasperated Justin.

Griffin, you're my brother and I love you, but if I can't use my History skill to answer a question in the game that involves history, then what the gently caress are we even doing here!? This is Calvinball!

A very small thing, but Travis's little "m-hms" when his brothers are talking just tickle me. It's like a little Bryan Fellowes moment before he launches into his contribution.

There are few things more frightening in the moment, and more exhilarating after the fact, than feeling like you'll pass out if you don't stop laughing. drat you, Monster Factory. Thank you, Monster Factory.

If by rough, you mean fantastic. Audience questions only exist to give fodder, and that one about the best friend of the ex-boyfriend of the whatever the gently caress was the best fodder one could hope for.

dijon du jour posted:I tried listening to all the MBMBAM episodes in reverse order and I gave up a little after episode 100. Different strokes, I guess. The first episode has the question about the guy whose friend moved across the country and was relying on him for social interaction. First time I had trouble breathing listening to the show, right out the gate

I'm anxious about what happens if someone retweets a piece of fan art that doesn't support someone else's headcanon/ship/etc. People can get fixated on fantasy stories that present a "progressive" worldview, and can get irrationally upset when they're not progressive in the precise way they want. Edit: The plots don't support the worst of it, I suppose, but still and all... people can be terrible.

Friend of the show Elizabeth Gilbert just came out, I guess? It sounds like her closest friend was diagnosed with cancer, and the shock of the diagnosis made Gilbert realize how much the friend really meant to her. It sounds less like she's gay, and more like she loves this person who happens to be a woman, which feels like something the McElroy's would endorse (not that they wouldn't endorse the more traditional model). They've promoted her podcast a few times in the month or so since it premiered, but this is probably too personal to get a mention.

PBS Newshour posted:Because of his self deprecation I sometimes forget that Griffin is like amazing good at stuff. Like TAZ is a good showcase for the reasons stated above, but then like his polygon videos have like an amazing amount of detail put into I'm impressed with. Dude is just legitimately talented, I mean all three are beyond just being funny but it's really easy to forget with how they present themselves. Griffin put the most effort into making his "die in your sleep" jokes scan last week. He's legit.

That Fantasy Costco episode, by the way, is why Griffin is a great DM. It doesn't sound like Justin actually beat the check, but it was just too good a story to not let him pull it off.

greatn posted:Do subscription based podcasts make any money? There's just so much good to amazing free content I can't ever imagine paying someone for a podcast. I donate to maxfun but that seems different. Never Not Funny has done pretty well with it, I believe. They used to be almost entirely behind a pay wall, but now they just do a weekly bonus episode plus additional specials/live shows during the season. I don't subscribe, but I think they've built enough of a relationship with their fans that the fans don't mind throwing them $20+ a year for some extra material.

Alaois posted:okay then I'll just say it Justin is the best storyteller of the three (red lobster, the inflatable snowman) Griffin has the best goof ideas, and his rants are untouchable (bug gym, tybee island) Travis is incredibly quick. He doesn't always hit, but when he does it can break the whole room. As middlest brother, he can keep bits going by being the punching bag. It's a precious ecosystem, and each brother plays their part. Note how, despite their success, it's been months (years?) since they've had a special guest.

The TAZ diversity thing wasn't the most recent thing. He wrote something like, "sometimes you have to push the door open. Sometimes you have to kick the door in. But sometimes you just have to use the doorknob." Which people read as some bullshit respectability politics thing.

purple death ray posted:I read that as "You may have to try several different tactics, but you should always just talk to people first." I really don't understand how that's offensive at all Many of the people/peoples he's reaching have been talking for years and decades. A straight white man saying "Well, have you tried just asking nicely?" is never going to go over well, even given Travis every benefit of the doubt for his sincerity.

I sincerely don't think the firestorm was about TAZ whiteness. People got sad about that, but Travis and Justin are quickly said they were right. The "I need to get off the moment" seems to have been travis's later statement. I don't see that Justin got wrapped up in any further drama after speaking out in support of the fan canons. Travis has taken on a lot more social justice in his account (e.g., the "I am holding your hand" project). I think, as was said before, it comes down to a well-meaning white guy who learned that not every topic is one he should delve into. Also, I talked about the risk of fan canon drama a month ago, and people basically accused me of spinning paranoid fantasies. Just saying. Edit: Also also, this is how Angus looks now in my head: https://twitter.com/rah_ciach/status/802982717075890176 The Modern Leper fucked around with this message at 11:31 on Dec 5, 2016 |

ArmyOfMidgets posted:And sometimes slime is skin and thing die in the first four minutes. Actually, sometimes you take a hardline stance that slime isn't skin and your player suddenly remembers he can cast level six spells. I don't know D&D. Assuming they play it straight as the story reiterates, is Taako out of spell options? It sounded like using the spell was a big deal (besides the damage it caused).

Ariong posted:I like how Magnus tried to say "gently caress it", changes his mind because the Red Robe told him not to, then Takko did it anyway because he's Taako. I also like how Griffin makes every lost body part have an upside and a downside, and I hope that at the end of this campaign Merle is 60% gone, but still fine. Taako did it because he'd given Magnus true sight and wanted to see what was drawing off the black cloud. It was actually a pretty great idea, and major credit to Griffin for working it in so seamlessly. Edit: For people who play in real life, how do you handle secret information like the messages Magnus received? Do you keep it to the one person, or do you let the story benefit by announcing it to everyone? Do you rely on the players to keep each other informed in character?
