The idea that there is even strict lore to D&D is weird. I get if it's something where the lore is super developed and also actually interesting, but D&D just seems like one where you have some basic ideas and improvise from there.

there are pre-made established settings (some of which are actually pretty cool like Eberron [which honestly isn't too far off from Griffin's world] and Dark Sun) but for D&D podcasts like TAZ homebrew stuff is more fun and interesting to work with.

I re-watched some Monster Factories today, and I forgot just how much joy I get from Justin excitedly yelling ""YES". Like, the videos in their entirety are great, but those just thrill me to hear.

his reaction when Griffin revealed "his personal baby boy" Truck Shepard is one of my favorite moments of the series.

As someone who knows quite a bit about the scene, Divekick is a bad game and you shouldn't play it.

edit: and that's speaking as someone who likes Dave Lang, it's just not good and overcomplicates what should be a very simple game to a ridiculous nigh-unplayable point

so it's a perfect representation of fighting games

I don't see how that's functionally different than how they're currently playing in The Adventure Zone and it's basically what I meant exactly by facilitating instead of actually adding to gameplay v:shobon:v

it would help them to no longer be supporting the awful people behind D&D 5e but that's trad games drama no one here cares about but something that's always soured TAZ a bit for me

Justin being antsy about Taako being gay when he gave him such a silly voice is funny because every other MaxFun show that gets promoted on theirs features someone with an ultra cringeworthy stereotypical gay voice as one of the hosts.

hey now, Elliott Kahlen sounds like a cartoon turtle not a stereotypical gay man

Now, take Elliot Kalan's voice, and have it so it's constantly off-key singing half-remembered riffs of the most annoying earwormy songs in the world with the express purpose of annoying the everliving hell out of everyone listening to it.

That's the Flophouse.

Dude can write the hell out of a comic book, though.

also the second he starts talking about comic books, hollywood history or starts giving a movie recommendation, every single time i'm astonished with how much knowledge he just has and can rattle off at a moments notice

this Adventure Zone arc is pretty loving rad imo and I wish it had come after the racing one.

I vaguely remember a N64 game that was kinda like this where you play a ronin that walks into a small Japanese village. Is this like a common D&D format?

Are you thinking of Way of the Samurai because that was a PS2 game

it's also the best goddamn video game ever made

these are the corniest monsters in D&D, I don't know why they brought them back for 5e, but bravo to whoever made the decision

modrons are like, the only good poo poo in D&D not connected to Eberron or Dark Sun.
