torn grimoire posted:i just want griffin to run another campaign. or even clint or justin (though i've heard that justin doesn't want to DM?) I want to see Clint do another one. Commitment was my favorite of the short ones. The PCs and gameplay were fine but the plot was the best kind of ridiculous and awesome. It was like a Golden Age comic book and a Dan Brown novel had a baby.

torn grimoire posted:(though i've heard that justin doesn't want to DM?) His characters have been best parts (and in some cases the only good part) of every single campaign. It would be like if Griffin decided that he wanted to let Travis be the funny one on MBMBAM so he (Griffin) could take a two year foray into picking listener questions and being actively unfunny on the show.

DesertIslandHermit posted:I feel like Travis wanted to build something big but didn't know how to do it. He introduced so many characters and things early into Graduation which felt backwards compared to what Griffin did for Balance which was just introducing a new plot-significant character every couple of episodes with the exception of the start of a new story arc when he'd briefly introduce a small cast. Travis can pace and map out a short adventure just fine but creating a long-term campaign compared to creating a 4-part campaign is oil and water. The worst Travis could do now is rush the story to try to finish it because he'd probably end up introducing even more characters and things too quickly. If that isn't already happening now. blossommirage posted:DMing is scary as hell, I can't say I blame him.

Highly recommend Tiny Heist, the first ep's a little slow and Brennan's little kid voice is annoying, but it picks up fast and Justin's character is one of my favorites ever.

Crown of Candy ends on a fun note, but the first half of it rises to the occasion of being a Candy land Game of Thrones shockingly well. Legit stressful medieval drama, but with food people. It's the best. Rick Diggins is the best character in that show tho. HOW SPICY DO YOU WANT IT?

DesertIslandHermit posted:I feel like Travis wanted to build something big but didn't know how to do it... Yeah, I get really strong vibes from my first time trying to DM and building something way to big and complicated and utterly beyond what I had the time or skill to pull off. I just, you know, wasn't putting on a show for an audience that helps pay my bills so I was able to be like "hey guys I'm in way over my head here, I'm gonna pull out a chunk of the middle here so we can finish this game before we graduate." Also bringing in another recommendation for Dimension 20. It's a solid cast overall.

Stroop There It Is posted:Agreed on pretty much all counts here. Personally I don't think he's rushing it too badly currently though--as one of the few people on this forum who actually keeps up with TAZ:G instead of regurgitating poo poo I've read about it on other websites, apparently?--and he's definitely not adding tons of (unmemorable) NPCs at this point, thank god he got the memo on that. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens with the main plot, and still enjoying listening to the show plenty. Travis can definitely turn it around but he shouldn't buckle to the pressure that it's the least watched of TAZ. He should get feedback from proper channels and work it out from there. A couple of my friends warmed up to Amnesty a little while after it ended. Balance will forever be their magnum opus. Trying to make something like Balance again would be a recipe for disaster. Even a sequel campaign staring Tres Horny Boys would disappoint in one way or another (although part of me wants to see them go back to where they originally came from when they started out in the IPRE at the start of The Stolen Century arc ). It's a lot of pressure when your first project in something is unanimously your greatest so far. Not everyone is like Friends at the Table.

I haven't dropped money for Dropout yet; what makes Pirates of Leviathan so bad? Is it "unlistenable" as in the audio quality is really bad, or is there a problem with the cast?

Travis can be obnoxious and cringe but he’s pretty much harmless. People get too used to assuming hipster liberals are really nasty or creepy but he’s just really annoying at times. He does need to read less social media, though.

It’s mostly the audio, it was the first full quarantine season and it just sounds abysmal, especially Brennan. There is one cast member who does a bunch of annoying player things that I personally can’t stand, but that could just be me.

I'm glad they have Brennan back in the studio for the next season, because he often has the worst connection out of anyone on the quarantine episodes. When I saw that the new one was going to be a murder mystery, I thought it would be a great return for the brothers because of their mystery novel obsession. But it still looks like a strong cast.

I finally watched that clip and...oof...that was mortifying to watch. I think that was him actually controlling his rage, somewhat. In his defense, that ChilledChaos guy everybody is handjobing instantly triggered my “edge lord brat that thrives on negative attention alarm”.

At the end of the day Travis should have known that his streams were going to attract the occasional...non-fan? Calling them trolls, to me anyway, implies they knew/cared who Travis McElroy is. There was always going to come a day when someone decided to dink around in a way he didn't like, and the whole thing feels to me like he was blindsided by the fact that yes, he too could be trolled. Melting down about it just made things worse, as it tends to do.

Munch Squad may be hit or miss, but it did bring the Chicken Sandwich Wars to my attention. I don't watch a lot of stuff with commercial breaks in it, but the one time I did in the past week there were like 4 separate chicken sandwich commercials from McDonald's, KFC, Arby's, and Popeyes within a single hour. It's real. The Chicken Sandwich Wars are real. It's not just a press release thing.

We've spent years of our lives, endlessly debating the potential devastation of a human/centaur war. Foolishly, we never stopped to consider the war that was right on out doorstep, with higher stakes than ever before. How much blood will be spilled in the chicken wars to come, I ask? When will the madness end?
