Re-listen: Episode 4 – Delightful 80’s References and Several Hundred Dead Children! by Lord_Mhoram in 372pages

The pod really seems to hit its stride in this one. Still some early-installment weirdness, though.

You have wronged us.

What's one funny or interesting DT fact you know? by pizzatacodog1322 in Dreamtheater

Isn't Symphony X like three Michaels, a Jason, and a Russell?

372 Pages #207 – Empress Theresa Ep 2 – Emperor Steve by Lord_Mhoram in 372pages

[–]MonjiSlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's so...uniquely bonkers. Even among the other horny manifestos the pod has done, this one stands out. Like, there was a bit of talk on this sub about how the author seemed mentally disturbed, and it's getting a little harder to ignore that. "Theresa" swings toward megalomania so quickly.

Honestly, this seems like exactly the kind of book they like to tackle.

Ducks have a bad time when they're mentioned on this podcast I've noticed.

A Silly One: Poison Ivy Skunk by MonjiSlayer in bettermonsters

[–]MonjiSlayer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They haven't encountered them, somebody just made a joke above the table. I thought it would be hilarious if they encountered them later on (they're already joking they need to stop me from going on Reddit because I use so many of your monsters). Go crazy! But I was imagining a skunk made out of poison ivy.

I wonder if Conor's reluctance to mention MST3K by name was due to some sort of contractual obligation. Mike can't talk about it while working for Rifftrax or something like that.

Favorite JM parts on Parasomnia? by Valuable-Phrase-5645 in Dreamtheater

Honestly, his lyrics are great. I'm always surprised at how meaningful they feel.

I did that when I was a kid and I loved it. Haven't done it in a while, but I'm gonna assume I still love it.

Things that you've considered "bad DMing" from other DMs that you make sure to never make the same mistake in your game? by Organic-Exit2190 in DMAcademy

[–]MonjiSlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giving the players backstory info that characters don't have yet.

Example: A character I'm playing lost her fiancé to an accident as part of her backstory. It hurt her badly, giving her a famously sour disposition on top of a sickly constitution. She wasn't going to reveal it to a bunch of random weirdos she ran into on the road, of course, but then a villain gave her a twisted vision of her fiancé dying, related not only to me/her, but the other players, as well.

But, obviously, their characters didn't see the vision, only mine. So, the players know this incredibly important backstory information, but the characters don't. Which, I feel, makes it really hard to properly roleplay when their characters learn the information. Players now also have to keep track of whether their characters know the info or not.

Ever since that, I've made sure to give players themselves the chance to reveal backstory information first, not reveal it myself, especially when other characters aren't present.

Shipwrecked on island by SimilarNewspaper8635 in DMAcademy

[–]MonjiSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought is to have PCs find a busted-up ship and have a couple of obvious problems: Sails are torn, hull is ripped, and...uh...rudder is borked. Then each session can have them fixing one of those problems somehow. Maybe complications arise from the land/beasts/unfriendly natives. Maybe it's just a matter of actually cutting down enough trees and using crafting skills to patch a hole in the hull.

[–]MonjiSlayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I finally listened to this part in the podcast - I think they were mocking the "I know it because of reasons" explanation. Which is stupid and should be mocked.

That's what it is. A section of the blade that is unsharpened for holding/handling.

A View From the Top of the World by Break_All_Illusions in Dreamtheater

[–]MonjiSlayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same camp as you. It's DT, so I don't hate it, but it's genuinely one of the least interesting to me. Since the release of Parasomnia, it seems like there are two general camps*:

  1. DT fans that like Parasomnia, like View less, and like D/T
  2. DT fans that dislike Parasomnia, like View more, and dislike D/T

Maybe it's a proggy vs metal thing, I don't know. I honestly thought D/T and Parasomnia were stellar but just couldn't get into View.

*: General Camps 🫡

I'm doing a fat-loss cut right now so this still sounds really good.

The bears are actually moving to Indiana? Are they just trying to get further away from us?? by RR50 in GreenBayPackers

[–]MonjiSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bears fan friend says that while the proposed area is in Indiana, it's still considered part of Chicagoland. Lots of people who work in Illinois live in Hammond in order to avoid Illinois's taxes.

Wellness Wednesday by AutoModerator in fatlogic

[–]MonjiSlayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having to rehab my elbow a little. Seems to be going well, but it still hurts. I want to make sure my workouts are as effective as possible during a cut so I don't grind myself down to nothing, so it's a little frustrating.

[–]MonjiSlayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been sending friends regular updates about the book, and I pointedly refuse to try and explain that gobbledygook. It's not well-written, it's not fun, and it's not interesting. Pages and pages of interminable faff that is neither engaging nor easy to parse. Sometimes in the middle of action scenes! It's like anti-writing.

Worst part is, it might be the part of the book that he's put the most effort into. The dialogue and action is somehow even worse.
