I hate D&D as a product and WotC as a company, and Graduation just marinates in 5E in a truly miserable way. So I have a lot of affection for Amnesty, even with its very real flaws.

(Yes, I listen to Rude Tales. The differences are that 1) Rude Tales is not fannishly fawning over D&D-as-Cultural-Iconography, and 2) Rude Tales is loving excellent)

One of the best things about Dragon Friends is that, even though it's built on a 5e framework and WotC occasionally provides materials for them, nobody but Dave gives a poo poo about the system. Even though they're still orbiting the Strahd storylines, they also just don't follow the story except by accident, and rename characters things like Rimjob.

Even that level of coziness with Wizards is too much for me. I don't give WotC and Mike Mearls my money or time.

She and Hodgman also co-hosted a semi-secret variety show at a warehouse in Brooklyn for a long time; I was a regular attendee. Some great guests like Immortal Technique and a shanghaied Property Brother, and also Travis McElroy who said some extremely awkward stuff about #metoo

I don't think the brothers and Austin get along very well at this point. Tons of FATT contributors openly dislike the McElroys, and Travis's. dipshit MaxFunDrive stunt last year can't have helped.

you can tell they don't get along by the part of this episode where they uhh... praised Marielda and said everyone should go listen to friends at the table? extremely brutal stuff

Griffin's obviously a huge fan and has said so many times but I don't think it's reciprocated, and if it ever was I can't imagine Walker's chomping at the bit to collaborate again after last year's stunt.

What happened last year? I vaguely recall Travis advertising something on a stream with Austin etc that they didnt know about before or something like that.

Travis did a DM workshop with Austin and other TTRPG figures. However, he did not disclose to those figures that the stream was part of the MaxFun Drive and a commercial product/advertising.

A prominent, semiofficial FB fan page for Still Buffering was the site of a pretty high-pressure push for SB to do an episode on white privilege. The Smirls' mom was a poster and moderator on the FB page and nuked the discussion. Rosing was one of a number of "big-name fans" who split with the McElroys over this.

Relistening to The Quiet Year playthrough, I kind of wonder what the current season would be like without Griffin bringing so much to the table to begin with.

There was already a world before the submersion with its own sparse cosmology. There were already four main groups. Everyone started with the working knowledge that the world was going to be submerged.

Was Friends at the Table more or less open-ended? Because, listening again, it seems like The Quiet Year was a way to populate the ocean they knew they were going to play in with weird poo poo, not necessarily a way to organically build to a world subsumed by a weird ocean.

Listen to FatT and find out!

The autogenerated YouTube stuff isn't done in realtime, it's part of the video upload and processing pipeline. That probably explains the gulf in accuracy.

Actually paying for live captioning done by human beings is probably out of scope so they're going with a half measure towards accessibility.
