DeathSandwich posted:There is great interplay between the high energy exuberance of Jammer and Sam, Kelmp saying things that are extremely sad and/or cursed, and Dream oscillating rapidly between deciding if she wants to be mean or horny at the latter. I'm still catching up on M&M but one of my favorite gags so far has been Evan saying something incredibly sad/horrifying then the camera panning over to Dream biting her wand so hard it looks like she's going to break it in half Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jul 17, 2021 |

DeathSandwich posted:Watching the last episode of M&M now. I love that Dream goes full Disney Princess for the last episode. I loved her evolution into Eldritch Disney Princess and Kelmp's realization that that is definitely His Thing. Erika KILLED it with Dream's voice; the way she jumped between saccharine princess and angry goth and started to blend the two is just  My other favorite moment was Lou Wilson as Jammer getting them SO. loving. PUMPED. that the players needed to take a breather afterwards

DeathSandwich posted:Part of the above may also be just a side effect of a PC being made by a DM too. At a certain point the desire to build the story is strong in long-time DMs. Very true. If anything I feel for Danielle Radford; she got the short end of the stick spotlight-wise. Her unique power started as being able to see the connections between people but it becomes elided into just being able to see Jammer's power in action.

MikeJF posted:Apparently her power would've escalated into a sort of mind-reading with a few better rolls. Yeah, I think Aabria did a great job on the whole but I wish she'd failed forward with those rolls better. Hindsight is 20/20 but something like "You read her thoughts but just catch the tail end of a mental sentence, like when you're trying to push an uncharitable thought out of your mind" would have let her known that was an option while still keeping it a failure. It sucks to gate that sort of character development behind dice rolls in such a short campaign. Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jul 29, 2021 |

Having seen episode 2 of the Seven, it might be my favorite Dimension 20 yet. Everyone is loving killing it, and the chemistry is amazing. The fact that they're all seasoned D&D players helps sell the way they carry themselves as a party: they know how to work together and they know exactly how loving deadly they are. I think the plot's a little weak, but I suspect some of that was the PCs going wildly off the rails -- good on Brennan for rolling with Sam casting offensive magic on the loving 20th level Wizard Principal of their high school

"Geese with the stats of raptors" is a phrase that should strike terror in any DM's heart I love that the majority of the combat so far has just been Erika and Aabria loving styling on the Big Bads And that correct response to a flock of geese if you're a terrifying abomination is "gently caress this; teleport away" Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Sep 3, 2021 |

The latest episode of the Seven has one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen Quite frankly there is no way I can spoil it and do it justice; it's a glorious loving train wreck and at least 3 players were completely incapacitated with laughter Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Sep 27, 2021 |

seaborgium posted:And yet it had huge character implications, with one character getting life changing news at the same time the rest of the cast is doubled over with laughter. It's a good episode. I highly recommend the Adventuring Party for this episode; they spend the first 10m heaping praise onto Becca Scott for this reason. She did an amazing job hitting that serious note and that's part of what made it so hilarious, or as Aabria put it, "You came alive ... you nasty bitch."

Sam's obvious glee at spending time with his noise boys is incredibly charming. It's wonderful to see a gameshow host that excited just to be there.

It was fun to see the return of Lou's hysterical laughter as his character does something incredibly stupid Barry is probably regretting losing his heavy repeater rn I do think the party dynamics are a bit off, though. With the exception of Margaret, they all have incredible chaos energy and it means they have to take turns being the responsible one so everyone else can go absolutely bugshit Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Feb 5, 2022 |

The World Inferno posted:Agree. Could be editing, but he's quick to suggest an underline on it means it had to have been production, vs. the occam's razor that it was just one of them. Feels uncharacteristic to not try to suss out who did that as a distraction from the target on his back... unless hew as the one who did it. honestly I think it's art dept. because underlining the name JUST to use it to throw off suspicion later is some 5-D chess bullshit even for Brennan I have never really watched Survivor but I may go back and watch some now; I've heard it's like a master class in social game design

Magitek posted:S2 of Fantasy High is fantastic. Crown of Candy is also excellent, Unsleeping City... none of them are bad, as stated. My least favorite is The Seven, simply because the vibe is so much different from the typical crew and everyone's always talking over one another Different strokes for different folks, but The Seven is probably my favorite. They have good chemistry, watching the antics of a squad of teen girl murder hobos is great fun, and they knock it out of the park in both comedy and drama. Edit: That said, it will spoil some parts of Fantasy High so you may want to watch that first Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Mar 7, 2022 |

Dimloep posted:Watching part 2 of the Starstruck finale, and oh sweet Jeezy Creezy, Murph is loving bringing it with Barry Syx's confrontation with Barry Nyne. "There were Barrys, then there was Barry, and now there's Barrys again, Barry!" Love that for them. It managed to be both hilarious and a really touching moment I wish Syd hadn't been so mean to them though.

enki42 posted:Latest Dirty Laundry was great. Amy brings some of her Breaking News energy to the format and it's amazing (doubly so since it's not like she's like that the whole episode and it doesn't get worn out, it's just one prompt that goes completely and hilariously off the rails.) I'm surprised that after the twin and magician answers no one made a single Prestige joke. Also the sleep thing is incredibly Brennan "Kids, this is why you should just do drugs."

There's a very specific TTRPG energy that occurs when the session's running long and yall are tired and a bit loopy and the GM just starts saying 'gently caress it, sure' to things they probably shouldn't and the next day yall are like  what the gently caress did we do last nightLike the nerd equivalent of waking up from a bender. I don't think I've ever seen an AP capture it so well
