poor life choice posted:I can't be annoyed with stale content from a Facebook fan group. I think with the exception of the McElroys getting folks to donate to charity causes (which is wonderful!), all I'd ever expect from a fan community centered around a handful of podcast personalities are variations on "I love thing," "found a reference to thing in the wild," "fanart of thing." And that's okay. and don't forget the extra spice you find on threads in this forum: trying to psychoanalyze loving everything about the hosts

Rick posted:Yeah, I love this podcast, at least as much as Adventure Zone (I basically listen to it on the dead week of Adventure Zone), but have a similar feeling. I started listening during Counter/Weight, which used a system(s) where there weren't a ton of failures, and the ones that happened were impactful. I went back and listened to the first season though and found myself getting quite annoyed at how harsh the penalties were for failures on rolls that it was almost impossible to get the best result on. Yeah I get it if the players are rolling low (and at least the players get experience for that) but the fact that the only way the players could avoid a bad consequence was to get a 10 (with modifiers) on a d10 dice, and that the consequences for rolling 8 or 9s were often character-threatening situations annoyed me. I know the rules specifically say the DM can make a move "as hard as they want" in these situations but drat, too harsh. I'm not really a fan of Dungeon World and think it misses a lot of the design that makes Apocalypse World (the system that Dungeon World, The Sprawl and Blades in the Dark are all based on) a really good game, and that's one of the issues. Trying to adapt a more abstracted system into a dungeon crawler with classic D&D elements means you're rolling a lot more than you otherwise should be, and the "miss/partial success/full success" system starts to break down.

Raar_Im_A_Dinosaur posted:I'd appreciate examples of how the podcast could improve by switching systems. I don't know enough about these systems to visualize/imagine the difference. Season 2 of friends at the table, they switched from Mechnoir (which is based on a great system, just not one that lends itself well to fast-paced podcast storytelling) to The Sprawl. Oh i thought you were asking for an example of a podcast that improved by switching systems. Basically, D&D 5 is super unbalanced and lovely, and also supports lovely people. There are other systems out there designed to be much more mechanically lightweight and straitforward, while encouraging the players to contribute to the story as much as the DM does. Something like Fiasco, a good example of play being the Giant Beastcast's 2015 Christmas Special episode. timp posted:I agree, but they play it anyways because it is the D&D. Concessions are made because, well, that's-how-you-play this game. Explaining that, no, they're not playing the D&D that you've heard of before, but a different obscure tabletop game instead, would not play the way that the current podcast plays. this is loving awful reasoning, which is why it wouldn't surprise me if it's the reasoning griffin uses Alaois fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Jan 20, 2017 |

DoctorWhat posted:what is your beef with griffin for real? For real? I used to think he was great, but over time I started getting annoyed at the lingo. It feels so incredibly forced and not natural at all. It put me off entirely. Like seriously, try listening to the Rose Buddies Max Fun commercial, and think about what it sounds like to someone who isn't ingrained in it already.

Ariong posted:I am absolutely sure that they will never switch from DnD 5e except probably when they switch to DnD 6e. That being said, boy it sure would be nice if Magnus had abilities besides Hit Very Hard, Block Attack, and Hit Very Hard Again. I'm sorry, I'm a rude person. That's a legitimate apology by the way, not a "heh, sorry you don't like me being an rear end in a top hat  " kind of thing. I really have to try to stop.

Again, I am going to approach this from a position of complete honesty, the fact that they are using and seem committed to continue using D&D 5e has always and will always leave a bad taste in my mouth because of the people who were involved in the making of D&D 5e, even when I was a fan and regular listener of the Adventure Zone.

da beeper king BABY posted:Got a link? I'm not aware of the drama. I am currently waiting on a link to a blog post that goes into detail about everything but the gist is D&D 5e has special consultancy credits for Zak Sabbath aka Zak S and a guy named TheRPGPundit, both of whom are massive serial abusers of anybody who they consider to be "the wrong kind of gamer" and Zak S especially has a long history of doxxing and stalking/harassing trans people out of the hobby. When confronted with this, the project lead/lead designer of 5e, Mike Mearls, went on Google+ and privately assured the two that nothing would happen and that he has their back. e: got the link http://failforward.co.uk/post/93348768153/how-dungeons-and-dragons-is-endorsing-the-darkest
