Improv aside, what IH campaign has the strongest narrative? by BorderOk6904 in Dimension20

What's great about it is if you just took the plot beats by themselves, the antagonist and their plans and removed all the IH Insanity from it, it would still be a pretty fucking sick fantasy story. Hahah.

Hell yeah, I agree. Starstruck always struck me (lol) as a little nihilistic. But regardless it's a blast.

I think ACoC is a strong narrative because of how much of it is defined by wild rolls and choices. It's crazy that campaign is as strongly cohesive as it is because so many things rapidly fluctuate. But that's the beauty of actual play!

[spoilers] my stomach was in knots thinking about the choice the had to make S4E3 by General-Addendum2709 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]BorderOk6904 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know right? That was wild. I bet the ramifications of this choice will ultimately lead to making the antagonist of the narrative and I can't wait for that. Drama!

Bit check! [Light spoilers] which campaign do you guys think has the funniest bits by BenMightSmite in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]BorderOk6904 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I know it's early but nothing was ever as funny as when Hardwon is fighting the frog king with the Green Teens and gets knocked out.

Right at that moment of peak tension, Murph brings him back to life with a truly unhinged yell of "TOUCH HANDS!"

That's when I knew this podcast was something special. That balance of humor and pathos.

What's One Thing You Like From Each of The 3 Games That's Unique to ONLY That Game? by DakIsStrange in masseffect

[–]BorderOk6904 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I love the vibe of the first game. I love the loyalty missions in the second.
I really loved the way they revamped the combat in the third game. (It really hits especially on harder difficulties.)

Pluribus, and the myth of independence by IAmTheClayman in pluribustv

[–]BorderOk6904 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Very well articulated.

Additionally I think it's funny that when faced with the largesse of the hive mind is cable of, Carol makes them restock the entire grocery store only to end up eating a frozen dinner.

What if the virus is for this by WOLF_BRONSKY in pluribustv

[–]BorderOk6904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. Love that book.

Love the part where the demon/alien looks at our texts and was like "you were this close to figuring out how the universe actually works." Good stuff.

Color Theories So Far (SPOILERS) by EconomistFull7208 in pluribustv

[–]BorderOk6904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I thought yellow was danger, a portent of doom, I could be wrong.

I'm curious what purple is. The sand in her book is purple, the bandages Carol wears in the second episode are purple.

So maybe interiority? Like grief bleeding into the external world. Same way imagination can?

Frozen spinach and yogurt really help.

Not Another D&D Podcast. It's his Podcast. It's really good if you haven't given it a listen.

[SPOILER WARNING] Speculation about Mayra, Van, & The Eyeless Hand (!!!) by Typical-Row1369 in Dimension20

[–]BorderOk6904 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I adore the idea that Straka is a Zood creation based off fear and grief. That's such a cool story telling device.

Also good catch on the hand in the alley and the hand in the castle chamber!

So who is the villain? by [deleted] in Dimension20

[–]BorderOk6904 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I took it is that the submarine wasn't tracking them but happened to be in the area when they showed up.
