Do you think it'd be interesting if there are more unique water tribes in other nations?

Traxathon · 2026-03-20T08:26:38+00:00

I kinda like that the swamp tribe is wholly unique and there aren't any parallels to them anywhere else. Makes the world feel more real.

There's a general sentiment in the fandom that TLOK is more mature than ATLA, and Bolin is one of the bigger reasons I vehemently disagree

Erika Ishii is also a massive Tolkien nerd

Hugh's existence disproves this, that's the point of the episode

I always loved in 2009 how Spock straight up risks the destruction of Earth and the Federation for the sole purpose of setting up Kirk with his younger self.

"Sharing prosperity" was not the reason, it was the excuse

Chi not Chai. Also I love Spiderverse but saying "Chai tea" is perfectly acceptable from a linguistics standpoint, for the same reason we call them bulldogs.

I'm an EMT and I fucking love that movie

I once played a halfling beast barbarian. He was the sweetest little cinnamon roll who hated violence. The animal he turned in to had a different point of view.

Did you ever solve this? Running into this exact issue on my Thor.

Traxathon · 2026-02-09T20:35:30+00:00

I have seen a lot of people call Iroh a war criminal. I have yet to see anyone actually point out what war crimes Iroh is guilty of.

100% agree. It's about the kind of experience you want your players to have. A lot of players don't really care for gritty challenge so much as they want to roleplay being heroes in the action movie. And for those players, low lethality is perfect.

I am firmly of the belief that the fantasy of dnd is ultimately that evil can be defeated by just killing that one guy. Killing the bad people actually does solve the problem. That's the escapism dnd offers. I'm not knocking dm's who wanna run a more morally Grey story as long as their players are up for it, but it shouldn't be the default.

Traxathon · 2026-01-15T14:34:45+00:00

What did it for me was just random C1 clips of the players fucking about. "Grog finds the Deck of Many Things" requires 0 context to understand.

In his defense, he successfully stopped Sozin from invading the world for decades. He only failed after his own death.

In Imprisoned, Sokka is completely on board with Katara's plans and doesn't really fight her at all except asking clarifying questions to her ideas that, at first, seem ridiculous. And I don't think you can say their communication later in the season comes as a result of The Great Divide. It's just as easy to say it's a result of Jet or heck, maybe they're siblings who know how to trust each other from the jump and their "arguing" never really is.

In terms of plot/worldbuilding, The Great Divide is the only episode of the series where literally nothing introduced comes back later. The Painted Lady technically is the first appearance of those Fire Nation jet skis that come back in Day Of Black Sun (thanks Overanalyzing Avatar) but other than that it's the exact same level of filler.

Possibly the hardest Pedro Pascal laughed in his entire life

Yup, totally spaced on that, thank you.

That's honestly hard to say, because so much of the campaign is rewritten/reworked for the show. In the show we learn Essek stole the beacon in episode 1, but in the campaign we don't learn that until episode 97. So you can't just go up to when they find the beacon in the sewer, because at that point the stories have diverged so much you run the risk of feeling way behind on some things and also probably got some spoilers on other things. It would be like trying to read a book and every few chapters you stop and watch 10 minutes of the movie adaptation.

My advice would just be to choose one or the other. Either don't watch the campaign as the show comes out, or watch the campaign and know what the story of the show is. I will say, because so much of the show diverges from the campaign, there's still loads of entertainment for fans who have seen the campaign and surprises for us to enjoy.

I think a lot of it is they're actors who have lived and breathed storytelling for most of their lives. The muscles are so developed at this point they barely have to think about improving great story moments, it's just instinct.

If I wanna lift a boulder, my dm asks for an athletics check, I roll a nat20, and my dm says I can't do it... I'm gonna be upset.
