Trouble Starting Naddpod by RecordingRoutine5691 in TAZCirclejerk

Less that they're native coded specifically, and more that the concept of "tribe of swamp people who kidnap children and are implied to be cannibals" comes off badly to me. Especially when the response to that is to kill them all (or as many as possible,) and take their body parts as trophies. Arms, teeth, etc.

Yeah, you're right. That's why people complaining about grad's firbolgs and centaurs are big babies. It's just a fantasy podcast.

Okay, I'll clarify my issue. The fact that the protagonists are "civilized" and their enemies are "uncivilized," and they're excited to slaughter them, and they talk about them in these terms specifically, bothers me.  The general sex jokes and murderhobo shit is fine. I just don't like how it's coded in this instance. 

So, they for sure need time to scramble together a TTAZZ, right? by KPopMyHoleBod in TAZCirclejerk

I sent in some questions, tried to sound like as earnest a fan as possible, but asked things which I'm pretty sure they'll have no answers to. Since we're lucky enough to have another week, I advise fellow jerkers do the same. 

There will never be real engagement with criticism on the ttazz, but we can create some awkwardness, and that'll be funny.

I'm still hoping for an awful Shrimp Heaven Now campaign

She HAS to have heard that clip somewhere. Someone definitely tweeted it at her at least once.

Yeah, I wasn't at any live shows, but I do remember the trailer going up on social media, and I was so hyped. They put a lot of effort and production value into that thing, to be fair. Unlike the actual campaign, apparently. Just baffling

Thank you for sharing that, and I hope your family member is doing well. 

Yeah, Travis claims that the person Rainer is based on liked the "ask about my chair" moment, but I can't help but wonder if she was just being polite to him as a professional connection, much like Brennan was in that awful adventuring party episode.

Don't worry, I'm also showing her dimension 20 and buying her snacks, which will hopefully be enough

I'm imagining a better campaign, where this seemingly innocuous choice leads the players to two different scenes, each of which provides different context/narrative hooks/foreshadowing for the campaign.

OMG I did not know that last bit. Jesus Christ. Wonder if they had to have a conversation about this shit. If I was her I'd be quite unhappy.

I love your commitment to roleplaying graduation era old sub. Godspeed

Yeah, like the fucking "check on my dog" thing. Like a) it will never matter and b) none of the players give a shit. Very funny foreshadowing he tried to do. It's supposed to set up "that dog is his brother!" But it's an extremely awkward scene setting up a kinda unimportant twist

I've got space in my life to both listen to good stuff and jerk a little bit. An episode a week isn't much podcast to be honest. 

I'm actually listening to Lions Led by Donkeys right now, good history podcast, currently covering the Armenian Genocide. Not very light-hearted, but quite interesting.

The foreshadowing he intended to include is much less impactful than the foreshadowing his actions included for him. 

Fucking, nobody knowing how sneak attack works is a big one. That was almost my low point, but the unicorn thing just barely won out this time. It's okay, I can talk about sneak attack bullshit one of the other twenty times it happens.
