I'm pretty sure Griffin doesn't have his Twitch set to archive. They may be lost to the ether.

It's pretty astounding how he still completely fails to grasp the how heat actions work.

Okay yeah, I'm watching his second one, which is archived (but only half an hour) and he said something like "I didn't have twitch set to archive last time, sorry."

Oh, ok. I missed the first few minutes of the second one. What I did not miss was him not understanding how to racing heat.

As he should, because the only thing in D&D worse than the mechanics is the stock lore.

This. While I would love to see them try something different, not at the cost of quality.

I mean, they are ignoring a lot of the more in-depth mechanics of the system. If you just take the basics like they've been doing and maybe rejigger some skills, you could make a lot of things work. The d20 system was really prolific in the 90s for a reason.

Yeah. It's basically the only reasonable way to play this system, and especially d20 ones.

They just released a podcast where Griffin literally said, "gently caress the mechanics, we're here to have fun". Can you shut the gently caress up about actual DnD mechanics??

Did mechanics kill your family or something that makes you throw a hissyfit whenever someone talks about the game that they're playing?

I think they could have a lot of fun with a FATE Core system, especially if they had it take place in a non-fantasy setting. (E.G. modern, superhero, or sci-fi.)

Something like Atomic Robo or Spirit seems perfect for them.

The three meals I've had from Blue Apron have been very flavorful and good. We tried ingredients we probably wouldn't have otherwise and learned preparations we didn't know about, and that's pretty cool. I recommend it if you think it might be your thing.

Today only, new or upgrading subscribers who pledge International Waters will get a special 5 minute podcast, made just for them, about whatever topic they want.

You can pledge all the McElroy shows you want, too -- just don't forget to include International Waters! Join today at http://www.maximumfun.org/donate and help keep the McElroys in cheerwine and me in something shittier than cheerwine.

I donated literally 2 hours earlier than you posted this and totally would've done it. Think they would check another box for me if I emailed them about it? :(
