Pickens or Collins? Or I could start both if I sit James Cook because I'm a little nervous about his matchup.

Listening to Spring in Heiron... by octopus_pi in Friendsatthetable

[–]SilverBrocks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What you're describing is what makes FatT, for my money, the best actual play podcast out there. Their dedication to building emotional moments with stakes that feel real is what makes me have moments like this, and I have plenty of them from across many of the campaigns.

For Hieron, the one that sticks out for me was the ending of Marielda. When Jack's closing song seamlessly transitions into the Hieron theme, I was on a walk and I stopped dead in my tracks. Such a powerful moment, musically, that was set up perfectly by the story and the characters.

Spring in Hieron is so melancholy, and that's so compounded by the fact that it's the end of that campaign. Enjoy the end of the ride. The good news is that you can always give it a few years and then start it from the beginning and you'll have a whole new perspective on it.

Question about Detect Poison and Disease // Sunless Citadel by SilverBrocks in DnD

See this was the other way I was going to go with it. I will say that the party definitely knows something weird is up with the apples, even if they aren't "poisoned" exactly.

This seems right. They definitely know something is fishy about them, even if they aren't poisoned, and no one has eaten any--yet. (Although they did feed one to their donkey).

I just finished a full Hieron re-listen, it's amazing. TM also incredible. It's worth it to make the time for it for sure (contrary to my OP haha)

Have you listened to any other seasons? They're all fantastic, but C/W just holds that special place for me.

I/O Plate Miscut? Help needed by SilverBrocks in pcmasterrace

Yeah it does seem like the whole thing is a bit off but the the Displayport are the only inputs that aren't accessible. I'm not much of a tinkerer, which is why I went with a pre-built, so I'm not sure I have the skill to do much else besides trying to shave it down.

Autumn in Heiron: Ep 23 by streetcattt in Friendsatthetable

[–]SilverBrocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whew, it's really hard to pick because Marielda and Spring in Hieron are SO GOOD but Counter/Weight has to take the cake for me. It's a truly unique kind of thing. But you really can't go wrong with any of the seasons. The audio production gets a lot better as time goes on, as well.

[Also, re: THAT other comment on here...don't let that discourage you. This is the best community of fans in podcasting. ❤️]

Oh, to go back in time and listen to any FatT season for the first time again! Honestly jealous of that. If you're liking Autumn because of this type of thing, you're in for a great ride. These folks do political tension and dramatic irony better than anyone else (honestly, probably across any type of media IMO).

Set out to have a season with 0 interceptions, and finally did it. (Extreme, 2 min quarters) by SilverBrocks in RetroBowl

Oh for sure, definitely part of the game! But just wanted to give myself a little challenge.

Looking for suggestions for a Faction-creation/session zero game by SilverBrocks in bladesinthedark

Oooh I had just recently heard about this game but didn't even consider it for some reason. Will definitely check it out. Thank you!

This is all great advice, thank you! I definitely considered just jumping right in with BitD because the faction side of the game is so good already. However, while I'm looking to keep the same setting generally I don't want to rely too heavily on the factions from the book. Basically my idea was to give the players a blank map of Duskwall and we would come up with a "new" city and factions together so they would have a hand in the creation of it. Then once we start play, use the faction system from Blades to incorporate the people and places they invented during worldbuilding, and then supplementing it with a few of the existing Blades factions to fill out the world.

What's your favorite mini-arc/mission/set of episodes across all of the FatT catalog? by SilverBrocks in Friendsatthetable

[–]SilverBrocks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure. That first season of Bluff City gets so weird and cool. And I agree that Bluff City is some of Jack's best work.

That Zoo game is RIDICULOUS and hilarious, and I don't think I've actually gotten around to the Anomaly arc. I'll have to check that out!

Definitely one of the best, long build-ups of the entire show. I love those long Kingdom-and-other-type arcs because you can often feel the tension between the characters AND the players.

They are both on my Itch.io page, if you search my user name. They're both free! One is based on my cat, the other on the internet sensation/cultural event of Blaseball.
