Just realized I'm missing the D&D livestream because of class.

Half tempted to just start streaming it out loud since I forgot to bring headphones.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I almost feel like they should have done a D&D version Rorie was comfortable DMing, this seems like no one really knows what's going on.

you're not missing much.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

The way the video is put together makes it seem that Drew is leaning in longingly towards Dan.

Who's to say he isn't?

 

[kai3345]

In class rn is this better or worse than the pathfinder stream so far?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

oh man page 200

i need to start on OT3

help

 

[OdysseusVA]

Everything is worse without Vinny

 

[The Dear Leader]

It's worse for sure, it's 45 minutes in and they've just started starting to do a practice encounter before they actually start the campaign.

we need an under the table cam to catch people playing footsie

Seeing this is a monthly thing, they reslly should have met up before so they can get their shit together...

Rorie didn't even explain AC, or possible actions.

 

[TraBuch]

Not even comparable, unfortunately. Even if everything else was the same, it would be so much funner with Vinny.

I would watch a Texas Hold 'Em stream with them all.

Fill it with GIFs quotes and puns and you'll be fine!

Yeah definitely, and Dan and Danny yucking it up every chance they get isn't helping make it any smoother.

 

[nobodyshero]

Yeah, this D&D stream isn't the greatest.

 

[MadLaughter]

Give it time. They'll find a rhythm, figure out the system, and start to gel. They've got a lot to take in at the start. The beginnings are never the best parts of D&D campaigns, as someone who has sunk hundreds of hours into them.

 

[valeo]

I only liked the last one because of Vinny, no other reason.

 

[TraBuch]

It wouldn't bother me if they canceled the D&D stuff indefinitely and just stuck with games like Avalon in these Unplugged features.

 

[MadLaughter]

I'd be pretty bummed. They'll get it figured out.

 

[Lelcar]

Wait a second, did Brad cheat and put a paper under a goblin? Did anybody catch that?

edit - oh wow i see everyone in here is being a bummer right now and harshing my positivity. nevermind.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Seems kind of early to be calling for them to stop doing D&D considering they've not even actually started yet.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Remember when everybody was like "Haha, oh you silly Brad you. You put that Playstation Home thing on the schedule. Haha, that's soooooo far away lol."

One month from now. I suddenly feel old.

 

[Kurdel]

First mini-dungeon in the starter kit is really streamlined, can't wait for them to actually start it.

 

[Rainmaker]

Yeah. It's a little much right now but give them time. They'll probably get into it more once they find their groove.

 

[Mr. F]

Damn Dan looks like he's about to nod off.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

They're just getting used to the new off...uh...ruleset.

 

[ZeroCoin]

Spoiler

Is dodging the ghosts really that hard? I seem to remember it being more about making you feel bad in a "you enjoy the killing" kind of way.

Spoiler

yeah it was more of a slog if i remember correctly its been a couple years

it was just supposed to make you feel bad not necessarily be challenging or anything

Spoiler

Was more referring to the amount of time it would take if he ends up killing a ton of people. We might see an entire episode of MGS3 dedicated to just getting through that encounter. I know that my first time through playing the game and not being committed to non-lethal and not being very good at the sneaking, the sorrow seemed to take forever. My recent no kill / no alert run was quite the different experience.

I just don't really find D&D itself entertaining. I didn't really realize it at the time, but Vinny was the only reason I found the Pathfinder feature entertaining. That and Rorie/Ian's passive aggresive arguments. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I don't really see any of these guys doing crazy shit like wanting to break a statue, take the statue's arm, climb some moss and drop that arm onto a goblin.

Oh, and Dave was pretty great, too.

 

[Kelas]

Drew with the deep cuts

 

[colinp]

How many parts was the Pathfinder streams?

 

[Lelcar]

The adventure is pretty interesting. I like the decision to split up for the horses. Dan is pretty good at leading the party.

 

[Kurdel]

It's easy to backseat DM, but Rorie should have avoided death in the first encounter...

Spoiler

Ah I see, my bad! I also recently did a no kill / no alert run and man, what a relief it was when no enemies showed up, I was dreading seeing one guy getting eaten by a vulture or something!

 

[skynidas]

Ian is kind of an asshole on the chat sometimes

I dunno, I can see Dan trying some dumb stuff.

 

[sproutella]

Is he keeping up his testy relationship with rorie?

 

[shadyspace]

Ian is kind of an asshole on the chat sometimes

He's always had that arrogant nerd vibe about him that's really off-putting.

 

[Mr. F]

Yup. Main reason why I found his clashes with Rorie more awkward than funny.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Wait, why are they turning on each other? Is this how the game tends to go?

 

[Xeteh]

Dan can't take it seriously.

 

[Kurdel]

This went south super quick, jesus christ.

Pickpocketing players should be banned, it was such a pain in the ass during Pathfinder.

Edit : Dan learns about metagaming

 

[SlowRevolution]

Ian had some pretty great moments during Extra Life.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Haha poor Dan. He wants more gold, brad goes for the steal.

 

[mhanna49]

Dan: "I don't have a purse."
haha

I hope they play more frequently so they can get into a groove with this series.

 

[daydream]

I'm on #teambrad, Dan was being greedy as fuck.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Dan can't take it seriously.

Yeeeah I'm getting a weird vibe from Dan, like he's simultaneously not taking it serious and taking it too seriously.

 

[KingKong]

Maybe they should be playing regular board games instead. How about that California water crisis game they got in the mailbag

 

[DrFunk]

CHAOS

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Yeeeah I'm getting a weird vibe from Dan, like he's simultaneously not taking it serious and taking it too seriously.

It's him playing League of Legends again.

 

[Archaix]

Yeeeah I'm getting a weird vibe from Dan, like he's simultaneously not taking it serious and taking it too seriously.

I'm missing the part where this is a weird vibe for Dan. Isn't that every competitive game he's played on Giant Bomb? I mean, sure, D&D isn't, strictly speaking, competitive. But you know.
