I've been burning through TAZ recently and am up to Stolen Century. Taako is the greatest and most powerful wizard of all imo

I am now totally caught up aside from the Flop House episodes and Amnesty. Those live show episodes are all fantastic, but especially Tomb of Horrors and the company retreat. Commitment was eh. I now hate Naturebox and Blue Apron. Literally everything else on maximum fun sounds like the worst kind of daytime television line up.

Burnt through all of Amnesty while working today. MUUUUUUCH better than Commitment in setting, system, and characters. Would TOTALLY be on board for it as Season 2.

Seems like a step down from Amnesty, but more solid than Conviction. Augustus is fantastic.

Colonel Whitey posted:I get the criticisms of Amnesty and agree with them to some degree but I also think Griffin handles exposition and storytelling much better than Clint or Travis, and I don’t mind listening to him telling a story. If they do Amnesty they just need to tweak the balance a bit. Yeah this is p much where I'm at.

I dunno a lot of this just seems to come from the perspective of caring about these as games.... which I don't. The rules are there to give a bit of direction and framework but I'm here for Griffin's storytelling and the others' goofs. Yeah Amnesty has a lot of setup, but that ended up making it feel the most natural, it actually does feel like one of those shows. And, with the group truly made, any followup to it would obviously feature a lot more active interaction between the crew than the "pilot" did, which would take care of my main issue.

Like I don't really think it's fair to compare Travis doing a miniarc dry run to Griffin's full blown campaign work but I also can't conceive how you think it's BETTER.

Crocoswine posted:a lot of people found the latter half of Balance to be comparatively very boring to the first half, as it focused more on the drama and story as opposed to the fart fart goofs that preceded it. If you didn't think that the story was actually all that good then it's easy to think Dust is more entertaining than said latter half. Dust is loaded with that same kind of drama but with none of the earned buildup. It feels like if Balance started on 11th Hour.

Poor Miserable Gurgi posted:I fell like I'd be more into Dust if it actually felt like it was leaning into being a Western, rather than yet another story about how vampires and werewolves hate each other told through a fairly rote murder mystery. yeah the vampire/werewolf stuff kind of undercuts everything in a weird way

Blockhouse posted:I mean a lot of that has to do with anchoring it means you have to deal with the fact that the old west loving sucked and there's a reason like 75% of westerns made since the 70's have been about that. Sure, and Travis said as much, but at that point it feels like it'd be better to just... do another setting? Like you CAN do an aesthetics-only old west thing but that's much easier to do in a medium with uh, visuals.

I feel bad for dumping on Commitment because what could you really expect of Clint's first go but MAN that thing was boring.

Aside from Secret of Nimh (which I rewatched a few years ago), I have a much clearer memory of 90s Bluth (i.e. what I actually grew up with) than I do 80s Bluth (which was being buried by sequels by the time I was a thing). I need to see American Tail again, at least. I think I finally figured out why Dust is just not doing it for me: a lot of it feels so much like the Magnus Drama Hours segments from later in Balance, only Travis is doing it here without the buildup those had that made them work.

Well that's that. Still very obviously inferior to amnesty, mostly because I don't think Travis can really put together a strong enough through line, but it did pick up a bit at the end, and it IS still better than the nothing that was commitment. Curious about what Justin's arc will be.

Yes what a thrilling role playing game it was too, especially the part where they did nearly nothing interesting for 3 episodes straight and the 4th episode had an NPC finish off the boss. There were some bright spots like Gandy gambling and everything Augustus did but mostly it was pretty dire. Rody One Half fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Mar 23, 2018 |

Ariong posted:I haven’t listened to the latest Dust (thanks for the spoilers btw) but I’m curious what exactly you’re looking for in this. What I’m looking for is a story created by four people woth one bringing the setting and the others instigating the action. Dust was great for that, because every event was a direct result of something the players decided to do. It's everything. There is literally not one element that I don't think Amnesty didn't crush Dust in, and certainly Commitment. It had my favorite party, it had the most interesting fights (compare the finale of Amnesty to the finale of Dust or Commitment and it is quite obvious who is used to designing encounters and who isn't), and it had the best jokes. And that's what I want: a good story, with neat characters/setting with goofs and cool fights for color. Yes, it took quite awhile for the party to meet up... but as a result of that we actually got character development from all of them and it all came together in what felt like a more organic fashion. And if they continued Amnesty, that problem wouldn't exist since they're, ya know, a party now. Like yeah, okay, Dust was more freeform, but few of the freeform events were actually very interesting, so why does that matter?

Doctor Reynolds posted:I started listening to "Friends at the Table" since Griffin constantly says it's his favourite podcast, and goddamn the DM says "do you know what I mean?" so much it's driving me insane. The DM, Austin Walker, straight up says you shouldn't listen to the first season for various reasons. But I don't think it ever really overcomes that their more interested in obsessing over their own fiction vs entertaining.

It got extremely tiring, when I tried friends at the table, listening every time they stopped for half an hour to talk about how what they were doing with this character or that setting element was so mold breaking for X or Y reason. It's the kind of thing where you are left with the impression that half the time they forget they are actually doing a show. Rody One Half fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Mar 29, 2018 |

Well Elementary was pretty bad, but going into the backlog both the origin story and the beach adventure were some proper Tres Horny Boys business.

Elementary is mostly just random noise, but the previous years' bonus episodes, from TAZ Nights to the Secret Beach Adventure are all quite good.

Amnesty is better than Dust and far better than Commitment. It is good that it's the main thing and that returns to those weaker series will just be between main episodes. But also that the offweek system still lets people who were way into those get their fix in, between Adventure Zone proper.

I'd accept it being like We Hate Movies: all ads at the start, so you can just pre-skip straight to the theme song and get all the content. None of this mid-roll horseshit. Admittedly it's still better than SBFP, because unlike them, the McElroy's put music in the ad section so you can just hit the skip 30 seconds button until it goes away.
