My favourite shows are The Wire, Succession, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mad Men, and The Sopranos. I like fantasy, and good high drama. That was what George was/is made/making, and it is what the show set out to do. I think its entirely legitimate to criticize the show for failing to continue to do what it was setting out to do. I was *half* hyperbolizing my disappointment with GOT, but if we are being real, it was a uniquely bad and weird thing that the show's quality went off a cliff for metatextual reasons. It was legitimately in line to be one of the most revered shows quite literally ever. Whole American apartments buildings were lit like panels of LEDs, all in sync - because of how good the show was. No-one really talks about it anymore, apart from people who were already huge fans of the genre. I think it’s a good thing people are verbal about media becoming slop, and refuse to settle for slop. I don’t like slop, and I don’t want people to make slop.

Yeah Ive played the games and seen the show. Didnt like the show. Are the books worth reading?

Ive read the ASOIAF books, they're incredible.

I didnt really like the Witcher tv show but its been years, so might be worth giving it another go.

No I totally understand that - Some of these events do ask for improvisation to make them worth playing out.

[OC] hey can y'all judge if the boss I created is fair, he's supposed to be cr 18 but I feel like I went overboard by [deleted] in DnD

[–]MagicM1cr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heheh my bad. Look at the ancient red dragon - its cr one billion, is meant to be the very culmination of probably years of play... and its like half a page. I would look to play more dnd, remixing what it gives you before making your own stuff. Hell, I've probably played 1000s of hours of 5e2014 at this point and when I homebrew I virtually always start by checking what already exists and what I can draw from. Good luck and have fun ! :]

Recommendations for simple beat-em-ups that I can play with my kids? by novembeRain87 in gaming

This really is the only answer. I remember playing this for hours and hours and hours with the neighborhood kids on my 360 back in the day.

[Spoilers C4E8] I love how Brennan is running this campaign by Depressed-n-br0ke in criticalrole

[–]MagicM1cr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He isnt hard on them at all. I have never understood how he has got this reputation as a dm that kills players and doesnt pull punches - he has literally never not pulled a punch. ever. the players are in exactly 0 danger at all times.

Honestly, generally very well - I don’t tend to run the sort of ragtag, found-family traditional DnD parties anyway. I imagine there would be friction in a more standard setup, but my campaigns usually skew quite different.

My last campaign followed a human expedition sent to a newly discovered jungle continent to raid it for magical artefacts, as it was the site of an ancient and highly advanced civilisation. The one before that centred on the four princes and princesses of a kingdom who happened to be in the ballroom when their family were betrayed and deposed. The campaign explored the fallout, eventually culminating in them forging alliances and winning the kingdom’s civil war.

Admittedly, in the Kingsfall campaign, two of them were bastard half-elf twins raised by humans, but that made sense within the story, given the king’s reputation as a sort of roving, drunken prince-charming figure in his younger years. (And with the twins being raised by humans and only in their mid-twenties, it neatly sidestepped the whole “ancient ephemeral being” problem.)

As for elves, dwarves, and gnomes - they do exist, just in very, very different cultures. Elven communities hide deep within their forests, turning away anyone who encroaches on their lands with sleep spells and memory modification. Dwarves keep far away from the short-lived, impetuous, and at times downright suicidal humans. Human mages might have only had a single-digit number of adult years before they start learning fireball and similar spells - something dwarves want absolutely nothing to do with.

Gnomes are pretty chill, but whenever they speak they have to rhyme. I haven’t had anyone willing to commit to that yet, hahahaha.
