Humbug Scoolbus posted:The dice have been mauling Rekha this entire game, but that one Persuasion roll of Raph's Having blood spray out over the room in Roll20 was a nice touch I thought after that roll. I like the way they're adding extra stuff to Roll20 and having the miniatures do stuff on camera more this season. At least it feels like more, makes sense with the pandemic precautions but I think it adds a lot to the show.

PharmerBoy posted:Brennan points out the body had crumbs from dinner on it as part of the evidence of it really being Brockhollow, but Mrs. Molesly remarks that the Squire hadn't touched any of his food during dinner almost immediately before the murder. Still think its a body double done up to make it look like the Squire's dead. Well, the obvious answer is it wasn't the Squire that got killed. His family didn't know about the shrapnel, and Brennan said faking all that evidence in that amount of time is almost impossible, so maybe we've got a Don Draper situation going on here. Someone he was in the war with took over his life to get out of the war, and now they've been killed. This is supposed to be a Sherlock Holmes type thing, so now that we've removed the impossible, the merely improbable is left. Surprised no one compared the list of Roman emperors to the ones in the li-berry. I'm sure there's some sort of discrepancy that leads to some secret passages.

The World Inferno posted:Wowie zowie, they've already made 17x their original ask. Have wondered if CH was going to throw in the towel, but there's clearly enough of an audience for them to cater to. Well, even during the pandemic they kept making Um, Actually, Dimension 20 and Game Changer so those must be their shows that make money. It's just figuring out if it's enough to keep them going in total.

The character interactions have all been amazing. I really want more episodes of this one.

Moose King posted:I was kind of on Brennan's side for that conversation. It's just a different cultural expectation when it comes to friendly banter, a lot of Americans tend to not do the "taking the piss" style banter until they're much more familiar with the person they're talking to. If you're taking the piss out of someone from the US and you're not close friends, there's a decent chance it will get taken as an insult. And 99 times out of 100, calling their partner a dog's breakfast isn't going to go over well no matter how close you are. I was too. I know a guy exactly like the kid he described from his camp who apparently never got the poo poo kicked out of him for it. He still deserves it, and now I just avoid him. It might be a cultural difference, but people seem to forget that goes both ways. Americans think saying poo poo like "Your girlfriend looks like a dog's breakfast" to someone you just met is insulting, a lot of British people apparently don't. Err on the side of not pissing someone off, don't just go "It's our culture, you have to let us insult you constantly". The parallel to using someone's chosen pronouns or name is right there, just because you were raised to think it's ok to constantly insult people doesn't mean you can keep doing it if the person you're doing it to is getting pissed about it.

lemonadesweetheart posted:On reflection I think I'd like to see Gabe GM a less insane group. He is really putting in the effort here and I'm afraid it's just going to spiral out of control completely. I laughed my rear end off throughout and I think the characters and players are really funny but am I wrong in saying that the amount of effort he seems to have put into this deserves something a little more? I noticed that too. How many clubs did he list off to have them join, only for the main part of it to be "Ooops, dude got turned into a vampire spawn and now we have to deal with it". This seems like a bit too much chaos. Also, am I the only one who thinks that the picture that gnome sent is of his actual eggplants he grows? I mean, Gabe kept referring to their garden and the great eggplants he grows.

lemonadesweetheart posted:Someone tell me what the rules for the last game changer were, is it just smash things? Not really. It was just "hot or cold" but with an audience sound machine. Sam had thought of some things he wanted them to do or items to interact with, and he used laughter/cheers to tell them hot, and boos to tell them cold. Then it was a bit of a memory game to see if they could remember what the previous people did. I'm thinking he just had items picked out, to see what they would do with it rather than an actual action for some of them. That way he could change it up if something was working better. Sam usually posts a breakdown of the episodes to the dimension 20 instagram stories a while after the episode airs, so just keep an eye on that if you ever can't figure one out.

tsob posted:I need to find the episode where she tries to scream until the answer comes to her, and it actually works. That aside, Brennan played in a recent D'n'D charity game that's worth a watch. Aabria Ayengar DMs, with Brennan, Becca Scott, Micah Burton and Danny Quach as the players in a Strixhaven campaign. I'm not familiar with the setting, so I've no idea how true to it the game was, but they all play students in a magical academy. The setting isn't really important though, because the first six minutes is some of the most bananas, chaos crew energy I've ever seen, and while they manage to calm down a bit, it keeps a solid energy throughout. Including Aabria deciding a few minutes in that if they raise $20k that she'll make a new ending, the Daddy ending, even though she has no idea what that'll actually mean as of yet. Which basically sets the tone. The cast play some fun characters too, with Becca playing a bard whose specialty is tap dancing, while Brennan plays an old necromancer who is his own Warlock patron and addicted to dying. Brennan did one for DnD Beyond with Aabria, Ify, Erika Ishii and a few other people that was also pretty insane and good.

MikeJF posted:Might have been Brennan, but also Katie is the first person to suggest they all rig it and vote for Sam, and he does warn them that that'll blow up in their face if they try, so I'm on the fence. After the last Game Changer, Katie was working with Sam as a scab. I thought Sam might be working with Katie this time too. He wanted a way to sow distrust, so he worked it out so Katie would vote for herself knowing the rest wouldn't be able to resist trying to vote Sam off.

If Sam can land Tony Hawk, Giancarlo Esposito and Michael Winslow for Game Changer, I was hoping they could get one or two celebs here and there for this too. That might be a second season. Seems like they're trying out new shows, if they work out well they'll give them another season. It would make sense if that's what they're doing they grab people they already know to come in, then the second season they widen it as now it has an audience.

It went up a buck or two a month, but you could get grandfathered in if you already were paying the lower price. I think they started pushing the yearly subscriptions about then too.

They posted something on the Discord, apparently they had some scheduling issues with the last couple episodes so they're doing adventuring parties remotely for the last two episodes, and the final episode is pretty short cause they had to finish, something like an hour and a half or a little under that. The Green Hunter is incredible though.

tsob posted:The rejiggering he had to do for Escape the Bloodkeep is probably my favorite example just because it wasn't a lucky dice roll or any one player that hosed his plans, but the whole party as one gestalt that caused it. Not even the whole party as one consciously making a decision, but everyone gelling together in a way that threw his initial plans out completely, because he had initially planned for the season all about a group of villains to end in a PvP brawl to crown a new dark lord, only the cast were so friendly and cooperative from the off, probably as a conscious decision to subvert things that he knew within one or two episodes his plan was never going to work and he had to come up with a new ending for it altogether. Which must have been one hell of an overhaul. The Samwise Gamgee analogue he made for a joke but that Matt Mercer's character got obsessed with trying to beat and just never even dented because Brennan gave the Halfling a Storm Giant's stats as a joke was great too. Man that was a great season. It has one of Brennan's best NPC's too; Avanash the "my bones" guy. Bloodkeep did also continue the bit in the first fantasy high of having the players focus on some random bit of coolness in the set, like the crow in the first season. That whole boatman thing was pretty obviously made up on the fly, and all because someone thought the mini was cool but it became a huge part of the last battle.

First they came for his brain, then they came for his heart. Have one of the kids start crying when Brennan beats them. It might backfire, he's spent a lot of time working at a camp for kids. Brennan might try and convince them that Sam is the bad guy and he'll share the prize with them if he wins, he just wants to beat Sam. They still have that "Congrats you've unionized" sign I bet.
