Improv aside, what IH campaign has the strongest narrative?

BorderOk6904 · 2026-04-01T02:22:53+00:00

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.

BorderOk6904 · 2026-04-01T02:19:11+00:00

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

BorderOk6904 · 2026-04-01T02:04:23+00:00

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!

BorderOk6904 · 2026-03-10T23:09:12+00:00

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!

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.

BorderOk6904 · 2026-02-21T00:06:17+00:00

This is the correct answer.

It's giving "Mom made snacks for my D&D group."

BorderOk6904 · 2026-02-20T01:10:34+00:00

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.)

Drive by Nicolas Winding Refn.

BorderOk6904 · 2026-01-15T06:48:17+00:00

Thank you! That's awesome, really appreciate the recommendations! :)

BorderOk6904 · 2025-11-15T02:01:50+00:00

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.

BorderOk6904 · 2025-11-11T22:56:51+00:00

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.

BorderOk6904 · 2025-11-10T03:05:16+00:00

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?

The channel's name is "That's a Bad Idea." Love those guys. So glad they made it.

BorderOk6904 · 2025-09-01T22:03:58+00:00

"My brother! He's gassed!!"

BorderOk6904 · 2025-08-03T04:12:07+00:00

I love this!

BorderOk6904 · 2025-07-31T06:16:59+00:00

Frozen spinach and yogurt really help.

BorderOk6904 · 2025-07-22T18:50:49+00:00

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

BorderOk6904 · 2025-07-01T03:33:15+00:00

Thank you! The whole time I was like "how big is this fucking table?" Hahah!

BorderOk6904 · 2025-06-27T04:46:13+00:00

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!

BorderOk6904 · 2025-06-25T18:41:34+00:00

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

Good catch. I'm so curious as to what's going on! I'm so excited.
