weekly font posted:I think this mechanic is why it feels forced. He did that to the party to force a narrative instead of letting them discover it naturally and the end of the fight really showed that. That 3d10 was totally made up bullshit to kill Murph. It’s good its an actual play and obviously the team dynamic and structure is wildly different than a home table but in one if a DM wasted 2.5 hours in a slog of a combat to introduce his mechanics and plot I wouldn’t sit for session 2. It’s really bad form and even in AP form not especially entertaining. he tried to do the 3d10 earlier but the only people hitting her were out of its range. it was definitely meant to kill someone going in but I don't think he improvved it on the fly

given its success, it is a terrible choice of name for the system instead of the podcast, as the podcast seems like it will vastly outstrip the system in popularity. not fair, but true!

coc has problems but they're all pretty interesting problems. a lot of the humor and character work is top notch and there are some incredible highs. unfortunately the weakest d20 season (main cast at least) is neverafter by a mile. there are some really fantastic and funny moments in spite of itself, but it felt like a misfire. they mashed together two premises which would have been stronger on their own (fairy tale horror vs. meta 'jumping between stories' stuff). the early TPK followed by a full episode of exposition i think causes a LOT of problems later on. we have all of 2 episodes with the characters as mortals living their life in fairytale scaryworld, but almost immediately have all that ripped away as the scope and scale expands. we've barely had time with the characters so instead of it feeling like a cool evolution for the party, it just feels like we barely ever get to know them. the whole time it feels like pc's are adrift and not super sure what the stakes are or what matters, and it feels like the players just retreat into (really really funny) bits b/c there isn't any real drama or pathos, just endless lovely situations they waltz through. if you GOTTA keep the horror and the meta stuff both, i think it would've been better for the campaign if the 'meta reveal' was like, 10 episodes in at least. let us and the players get to know who the pc's are and how awful the situation is, and *then* pull the rug out and reveal that things are also hosed up a meta level beyond their comprehension.

yeah like i think it says a lot that in the middle of a very dramatic and complicated two-episode final battle for the fate of reality the pc's are mostly cracking goofs and trying to obtain a tophat

porter is an interesting character because he's being a bad teacher but in the weird mechanical meta world of d&d he isn't wrong that its a pretty bad multiclass

tbh i also thought porter was baiting gorgug into getting really pissed off and raging at him as a secret test

neverafter shoulda 1) decided if it wanted to do "fairytale horror" or "meta horror" and 2) not have the party tpk 2 sessions in and then have a massive lore dump that tells the characters we've barely gotten to know that they are immortal and infinite and everything they knew is tiny and insignificant

im all in on the theory that the swear jar will come back in a future episode if its just a "no swearing" penalty rule, why bother counting them up with a fancy prop??
