i did catch the free unpaid yt stream last night and they did show the last game part on it, they kinda talked about some stuff but i dont recall anything juicy and more just kinda doing a few more tankard questions. though, maybe they stop doing that part going forward and it was more a happy accident this time? honestly its ok for me, i am also all for them doing what they need to do and also i pretty much never watch the end game section anyways even though i think i enjoy 4-sided dive more than the actual show sometimes (kinda - its just a lot easier to manage a short monthly show vs the 12 hours or whatever of monthly game time) i know it had the douche but bring back game ranch instead for the game thing imo e: or mame drop bobthenameless fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Mar 6, 2024 |

I miss the Beyond plug-in thing they had, when it would track conditions and HP and all that. I think it got dropped when they had to go to prerecord for COVID, but it also wouldn’t surprise me if it was out of their hands and removed on the D&D Beyond side of things.

Yeah, I doubt there's any way for it to work as a Twitch extension with prerecorded episodes, since it's just fetching live data. They could maybe add something to the video feed for it? But just as well I think it's kind of fun not knowing when someone's on death's door or not.

I'm honestly surprised they haven't just moved to their own platform by now, but knowing they're developing their own system and the next season will probably be on Daggerheart makes business sense to keep viewership as accessible as possible (especially when each episode begins with a huge sponsorship ad and 5 minutes of new merch drops). I was like 4 eps behind but caught up on everything over the last week and a half, and the most recent eps have been pretty good after a solid lull in story/action/interest. Be damned if my aging, addled mind isn't more excited about Dimension 20's tight-edited 2 hour episodes over CR's 4 hour realplay as time goes on, though.

It was slow to update and didn't really work. I'm just grateful that they post the HP on their character sheets, because for some bizarre reason, Dimension 20's character sheets shown in their videos have everything except HP, which is slightly annoying.

I do enjoy the tightly-paced D20 episodes - even if some of the series are hit-or-miss, and CR can due to the liveplay nature end up feeling repetitive and wheel-spinny, but I still do enjoy the more freeform, less on-rails approach CR has. They're both different approaches to storytelling, and I think they're both good and valid. Due to the elaborate, completely custom maps and setpieces, D20 also tends to run on the 1 combat/long rest method, which means players and especially casters can freely dump all their spells without needing to hold anything back. Actual attrition only really comes into play in season finales. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Mar 8, 2024 |

Yeah this I agree on, been watching a bunch of d20 lately and really liking the format and like 10-20 ep campaigns Also Brennan is a treasure

Yeah these days I tend to catch up by putting the videos on 1.5 speed a few weeks after they air. Means I'm a bit behind on the big reveals but whatever I'm not in it for that. I ain't got the time or attention span to watch the streams on Thursdays.

Well done to the team for infiltrating the city relatively smoothly. Although some people are natural improvisers, and some people naturally panic and flail when asked to improvise. They party is getting quite good at clearing up their own crimes scenes I suspect that the movement the party hears is more likely to be Volition than Imperium. It occurs to me that the transplanetary portal they found ends up in a really convenient place on Exandria for say, new settlers to arrive. It's seemingly the middle of nowhere - flying into the sky showed no nearby village lights - so no immediate population to displace on an already scarcely-populated continent (as far as we're aware), there's fresh water, woods, and even temporary shelter with the abandoned village in place.

Flakey posted:What was up with the Candela book? Lots of tonal whiplash. It's laid out weirdly. It feels mechanically incomplete. It reads strangely preachy on what it considers good and bad almost to what I would consider to be "Wokescoldy" for as much as I loving hate that term. Largely it just feels like it would of been better off as a campaign setting for Blades In The Dark, which it seems Extremely Similar to mechanically but just kind of worse in every way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKFfZyod4KM

My only question is there some sort of passive fear generation in Daggerheart? Because from what it looks like encounters are entirely driven by player actions, which is not intrinsically a bad thing, but if the players don't take any actions then the villains are going to have a hard time doing anything menacing. There needs to be some sort of consequence for not engaging, so that players will be disinclined to just ignore the enemy that can't hurt them unless they do a roll. This can be done narratively, but that puts a whole lot of pressure on the GM that in other systems would be taken care of by the fact that the enemy has a guaranteed turn.

That was a good episode of CR, some very good decisions and quick thinking under pressure. I guess that Laudna switched out of her Misty Visions Eldritch Invocation. (Cast Silent Image at will) because that was how I would have handled that (and I would likely have been wrong because the slithers don't use eyes to see). *** I only read the Candela quick start guide and watched the first episode of the first group of Candela Obscura, but just from that alone, I didn't like the mechanics. It's a game about confronting supernatural threats which has absolutely no combat mechanics or any objective way to handle damage (Example, see the very first episode, where a character took some damage from failing to investigate an artifact). That means it's essentially a test of how well can you read the GM's mind about their intended way to resolve the situation. Great, if you have a highly skilled GM and high level of trust between the players and GM... but looking at all the stories of bad times from the Game Experiences thread shows how things can go quite wrong without that.

For what it's worth, if you're good not thinking too hard about the mechanics of the system, the second run of Candela Obscura is probably some of the best acting and roleplaying I've seen. Everyone in that second season nails it out of the park. It absolutely stands on it's own regardless of the quality of the game system it uses.
