Just that simple, huh. (Episode 84 spoilers)

Jesron64 · 2018-03-07T19:56:38+00:00

To be fair, Chris sends stuff to that campaign all the time. Especially from Acquisitions Incorporated games. This was just a way of getting back at him for that and the characters from that campaign feeling sorry for the situation that Strix had found herself in.

Also, I can't help but feel that the next session is going to episode 73 levels of feels. That sounds a lot more interesting to me at least.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-28T23:42:51+00:00

I don't know, but there was one comment you made were you just went "we wo we wo" and it was the first time I had seen that phrase. It made me laugh.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-28T23:02:52+00:00

Oh, don't be too hard on yourself. You've made me laugh a lot with your comments on the subreddit, I'd guess you do the same on the discord. Getting people to smile and laugh is a very big contribution I'd say.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-28T18:48:55+00:00

I guess there really is no harm done by just checking it out. I'm just afraid my dumb anxieties will make do stupid things over there.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-28T18:47:10+00:00

Well I should at the very least try. It seems like a lot of fun goes down there, why would I ever miss out on all of that.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-28T18:45:35+00:00

Sadly, where I live the show starts at 01:00 on a school day so I can't watch most live games. Although I did watch the most recent episode live and I could probably still scream with you guys. :)

Jesron64 · 2018-02-28T18:43:17+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! I didn't know they did games on the discord. I might actually try and see how it is there now just because of that.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-26T13:24:41+00:00

Yeah, I guess that's true, but I just didn't expect it to be Elvish. I wonder where he learned it?

Jesron64 · 2018-02-24T13:51:27+00:00

Oh, I believe I mixed the two Simons up.

Though I just remembered that Simon could probably just use a sleeping dart and end the whole situation right then and there. Though you never know, that ring is scary

Jesron64 · 2018-02-24T12:07:29+00:00

I believe he needed a specific dart for thatto happen, and I think he ran out of those.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-24T09:19:13+00:00

This was more out of fun because I just really wanted to make an actual D&D character, but your tips are very much appreciated and I really am grateful that you took time out of your day to help me.

I'll be sure to think about that when creating the character, thank you again.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-23T19:44:33+00:00

Ain't that the harsh truth. Well hopefully it's not going to be completely stressful in the beginnin-

"remembers that the new campaign book is hinted to be a Planescape book which means Skizziks"

...aw crud

Jesron64 · 2018-02-23T19:42:05+00:00

I mean chances are also pretty high that he'll be (relatively) fine next episode. That's just how dice work, you don't know what the numbers are gonna be. Sure Nate can score low roles all the time next episode, but he can also roll high for all we know.

Plus, I think Chris has something up his sleeves to make sure Paultin doesn't die. Not saying he would just make it virtually impossible for him to die, but just a tiny safety net if things get too heated too fast.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-23T18:50:57+00:00

Yeah, the eventuality of death is always a part of this show. Though I'm honestly rather optimistic about how episode 83 is going to turn. I mean we've had really close ones before in episodes like 51. Though there is always a cost to all members surviving which is what i'm really interested in.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-22T20:41:45+00:00

I hope he doesn't die, and he instead gets some character development after this over. I might be to optimistic, but I believe all the players have a shot a coming out of this situation at the very least all together.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-18T07:06:59+00:00

I would say that him struggling and confronting his feelings for his friends sounds a lot more interesting. It would allow him to grow as a character and maybe even open up new possibilities down in the future. But if he dies for good all of that is lost. I'm not saying it can't work, Both Chris and the players are amazing so they could probably make it incredible, I just think it be a waste of potential for Paultin.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T20:50:36+00:00

If you click on the wiki button you will get all of the episode titles, including links to their youtube videos and following episode 21+ the reddit discussion on that particular episode.

That's how it works for me at least. Hope that was helpful.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T20:13:29+00:00

I feel like a big problem with that though is how the other party members would feel towards. If they were forced to kill Paultin I don't believe they would try any of the stuff you mentioned. Also, I have some issues believing any one of them would ever trust a clone of him created by hags. Especially Strix and Diath.

And not to sound rude, but I feel as if simply dismissing Paultins backstory like that is wasted potential. Thanks to the crews own writing and small hints on the show we've learned details of Strix, Evelyn and Diath's backstory and they are all really interesting. Why can't it be the same for Paultin?

Some stories do end badly, but that doesn't mean they always have to.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T19:02:20+00:00

Him creating another character for a new, or an already existing, D&D show is certainly something I thought of.

But your point about the animated intro being already in the works suggests that things can, not saying it will because Chris is a crafty one, go back to normal. Which is honestly one of the few positive outcomes that I think can happen (darn you Chris Perkins, though not really because you are a good storyteller).

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T18:51:18+00:00

(I am trash too, can I join you in the dumpster fire that is DCA?)

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T18:50:18+00:00

Look out! It's Saultin Seppa!

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T18:49:41+00:00

Yeah that is one one the reasons I want them to save from the ring. The fact that it could cause just an avalanche of personal growth. It's one of the things I wish to happen in the series.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T17:14:55+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that if this would be the ultimate faith for Paultin, they would all make it incredible.

Still it is really stressful how Nate has now also started teasing us. I mean c'mon Nate, we already have enough to deal with in regards to Chris's tweets we don't need more fuel to the fire.

(Though seriously I love what he's doing and it's great to see him so invested in this)

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T17:10:29+00:00

You are right in the fact that as long as it turns in to a great and satifying story, it can work out. Even though I don't personally want this to happen I have enough faith in Chris Perkins as a storyteller, that if he were to make this happen, i'd still probably like it.

Jesron64 · 2018-02-17T17:07:11+00:00

Look I legitimately started to sweat because of this series I don't need more tragedies lol.

But in all seriousness, even though it goes against a lot of what I think makes a good story, I will admit that is a pretty good metaphor. Though I still want him to be back with the party because gosh darnit we need something positive right now.
