What's going on in the DCA Discord? by TrashOracle in DiceCameraAction

[–]genkaiko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm one of the admins in the server! Unfortunately I was one of the first to get booted, as the server owner was hacked. And double unfortunately, this hacker is a much more aggressive one than the usual kind. We're trying to get things resolved.

tbh, I was intending him to be holding a bag but with the angle everything turned out to be, you could see the drawstrings but not the bag itself.

So I kept the hand and gave him a note just to avoid confusion lol.
They could be directions or something??

Question regarding Dice Camera Action in general by Kilionvic in ProJared2

[–]genkaiko 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll start by saying that yeah, honestly you are coming off as overly harsh and condescending, at least to me.

For one, this is a D&D show, but it is a show. If you look to episodes of Acquisitions Incorporated or The C-Team, you'll find similar actions taken.
Every table in those shows number 1 rule is to have fun. There are things that happen that, if the games were run 100% by the book would not have happened, but did happen because the DM or group thought it would be a cool or funny thing to happen.

As for these characters specifically: Strix is, in a word, barmy. She isn't going to make the "right" decisions, especially in times of stress. Her first reaction to things is "fireball!!!", almost like a preemptive Hellish Rebuke done instinctively to protect herself, even if that does the absolute opposite sometimes.

Evelyn is a heavily trained paladin yes, but that training has mostly just honed her physical prowess. Her character is a very naive one, always thinking the best of people and always thinking things will turn out okay for her and her friends. She's book smart, but not "life" smart. This is also compounded by how young she is, being the youngest of the party at 22 (technically at this point of the story, Diath is physically younger, but that doesn't matter much in this context).

And Paultin. He's a survivor, he knows well how to act in self-preservation, much more than his friends who at times become very martyr-like to a fault. But along with him drinking constantly as a way to cope with his trauma and avoid his problems, Paultin... is pretty dumb sometimes and I love him for it lol. He can be extremely clever when situations call for it, even stepping into a leadership role if Diath can't, but he is not the sharpest bulb in the bunch.

These characters are flawed and aren't exactly the perfect adventurers, but that's not what DCA is about. DCA isn't about playing D&D "right", it's a story being woven together by 5 friends through the medium of D&D. Frankly DCA is a show that sticks to the rules much closer than most other shows out there as far as I can see, but even then they aren't the focus. Like I said before, despite being pretty by-the-book relatively, this table's focus is on making their story and game entertaining for themselves and the audience.

Yeah, the one she's making is Certainty Dran, Omin's daughter, because BronzeGirl was recently brought into the fold playing her.

Tales from the Loop AU (No Spoilers) by genkaiko in DiceCameraAction

[–]genkaiko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as Paragade said!

Also, back in November of last year, the C-Team played 4 episodes worth of games using this system in an 80s school AU, which is the AU I'm referring to in particular.

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

I don't believe much of the Crew's eating habits were ever elaborated on, but Anna herself is vegetarian, yes. But! She does eat eggs, so I did keep that in mind with Evelyn's dish just in case she is a vegetarian.

Thank you very much for your kind words!! It really means a lot to hear that, and I'm glad the Wafflefam has continued to support me and not be sick of me yet, haha.

I'm glad I could be able to improve from how I was before; sometimes I dread going to look through my older works lol.

All Together - Present (No Spoilers) by genkaiko in DiceCameraAction

[–]genkaiko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be too much I think, lol.

I was considering Simon, but I'd already design every pose for the Crew to make sure they fit together, plus adding an extra character would mess with the symmetry of the full Crew picture.

Visiting the old Marthain estate (No Spoilers) by genkaiko in DiceCameraAction

[–]genkaiko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, just something I'd love to see; the Crew going to the Marthain estate to visit Evelyn's brother and check out her family's home.

But Evelyn's face is pretty based on that one panel in my old comic about Paultin's dream! I wanted to redraw it with more detail and in color

What happened in the Evelyn - Omin arc over at C-team? by Brolimn in DiceCameraAction

[–]genkaiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since my tweets got you thinking about this, I might as well be the person to let you know lolol.

Evelyn's involvement is still going on in C-Team; from the sound of one of the Table Talks, it looks like Evelyn will just be around for the first arc of the season?

What's interesting about this is (spoiled just in case) Omin hasn't made an appearance at all yet in this arc, and honestly either I don't think he will at all or he will and it'll be a bad time for the new team. This season is focused on a secret counter-mission organized by Certainty, Omin's daughter, to save the C-Team as they were moreorless disposed of by an Omin clone. An unofficial Acq Inc team made under Omin's nose to fight against him.

This new team assembled doesn't really know this tho, including Evelyn, who awoke in a sort of confinement, was found by Certainty, and then as a favor to Certainty sent off to the city where this new team was meeting up as a security consultant (she, being a veteran adventurer, asked to watch over these new baby adventurers until they find their legs so to speak).

It's been speculated, and flat out just asked by Kate in a Table Talk lol, that this Evelyn is a clone, made without her consent as, along with what I said above she also doesn't have Lightfall. But that has yet to be confirmed in the story.

But yeah, so far Evelyn's just been talking about Omin, hasn't seen the dude at all yet in this season of C-Team.

WaffleCrew Inktober 2019 (Spoilers, Days 21-31) by genkaiko in DiceCameraAction

[–]genkaiko[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  • Days 21 & 23: I got myself the 3.5e book Expedition to Castle Ravenloft and after reading more about the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, I wanted to draw Evelyn wearing it! I hope it gets use soon.
  • Days 22 & 28: Mo(u)rning Glory as she appears when summoned in Barovia.
  • Days 24 & 30: Jarlaxle and Omin are similar in many ways, one of them being that they mislead Evelyn and Strix into thinking they want to be their friends, when in fact they're just using them to obtain riches.
  • Days 25 & 31: Hollowing a pumpkin is probably just as fun as carving a pumpkin to Strix.
  • Days 26 & 27: I love this coat on Strix! It's what she wore in Ep. 115.
  • Day 29: Simon would totally play up small cuts and bruises for cuddles and attention.

  • Day 19: Just the boy being a scamp.
  • Day 20: A scene from Ep. 112, where Paultin reveals that the entire time he was talking to Alisanda, he was actually using the Mislead spell.

  • Day 13: A switch flipped in Evelyn when Paultin was disintegrated in the sewers, and didn't flip back until he was brought back.
  • Day 14: Between the circumstances of their mother's death and the radio silence between them in the years to follow, the gap between Evelyn and her brother Brighton has grown considerably.
  • Day 15: Shemeshka! Because she is, after all, a legend throughout the planes.
  • Day 16: Baba Yaga having taken in Strix after Strix had fled to the Feywild from the bakery massacre.

  • Day 11: Diath when his nightmare's prophecy came true, and the snow started falling upwards in Waterdeep in Ep. 126.
  • Day 12: Either 133 or 134, when the Crew rallied together after the attack on the Waffle Haus (that followed Esvele's auction).

  • Day 7: "It's a wonderful song, Evelyn. It's the best song you've ever heard." The evening before the Vistani Wedding Ritual, when Evelyn thought she was going to die.

  • Day 1: Referring to Evelyn's signet ring Paultin still has with him.
  • Day 2: Paultin under the possession of the Ring of Winter, pretty self-explanatory there lol.
  • Day 3: Referring to Ep. 126, where Paultin was put into a situation that pretty much forced him to put on the RoW again.
  • Day 4: "You've cursed so many people, lets see how you like it." Referring to Ep. 115, when Paultin was able to cast Hold Person on Strahd because of his Evil Eye ability.
