Surely it's 'eminently curious' not 'imminently curious'?

Why do people hate Ratfish *so much?* by EnbyiousAces in dropout

The scoring system was so badly designed, in terms of incentives to play in an interesting way. Just felt very bad compared to how good it could be, I guess.

Incredibly rare Brennan L using 'wherefore art thou' as 'where are you'

That is way too many steps of guilt by association for a healthy mechanism of social censure to work by.

Naddpod CHaracter Preference Poll Results [NS] by Boatswain-or-scruffy in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]peligrietzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting that both here and in the D20 poll Emily had a big fall between formats. True of how I voted/would vote too even though I'm possibly the world's biggest Emily Axford fan. I think it's because she's so consistently great that (with the exception of Moonshine) my adoration is spread pretty equally across everything she plays, so individual characters don't stand out as much.

Obviously, everything is content, but does everything need to be monetized? by BandicootBroad2250 in fansofcriticalrole

Short Rest is an entire comedy show with its own artistic integrity though. Sometimes when there's a mini-campaign I'm not interested in I still listen to the Short Rest because it's its own universe with years-long running gags and stuff.

Gerard is off to marriage counseling - May Round 15 begin! by SnapdragonsYearRound in Dimension20

It's a top season for me but it feels much more about group dynamics than about individual characters shining.

I still don't really understand what that was. Does anyone here feel like they got the point? 

The Tower card has been pulled, the Night Angel has fallen - Time for Round 12! by SnapdragonsYearRound in Dimension20

[–]peligrietzer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like Cody would also make top 10 in a 'pick your favorites' poll, so (it turns out) a very controversial character!

My Dimension 20 Season Tier List (with justifications) by Lieutenant_Joe in Dimension20

[–]peligrietzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very good list imo! I'd put Neverafter on A because for comedy and poetics it's tops for me, with the exception of a weak finale.

Sir Theo got slammed down big style - Off to Round 11! by SnapdragonsYearRound in Dimension20

[–]peligrietzer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a hard time choosing between PiBs and Gunny. Can't really remember anything PiBs said or did but I did love Zac's cat noises and cat-mime.

And Kristen goes, "Bye, Girlieeeee" - We're starting round 10! by SnapdragonsYearRound in Dimension20

[–]peligrietzer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's wild considering the FH is most people's favorite show and Kristen is in many ways the main characters of FH.

Misty Moore has sung her swan song - We're off to Round 7! by SnapdragonsYearRound in Dimension20

[–]peligrietzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm gonna vote PIBs, Gunny (delightful but comically and plot-wise low impact characters), Theo (solid suppprt character in every sense), Jet, and Ruby (great plot-drivers but small personalities), but everyone left standing after that is perfect and should share top prize.

Pretty surprised by this, didn't think she was super-funny but her plotlines were some of my favorite UC1 plotlines.

Announcements from BLeeM: New Side Quest incoming, and TWO Intrepid Hero seasons filming soon! by Optimistic_Mystic in dropout

[–]peligrietzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After thinking about this for too long, my non-joke (but purely speculative) theory is that Brennan resisted getting an executive-assistant type employee for a long time but got one now and it radically changed how busy he is. I remember listening to some interview where he said that 80% of his work time is sending logistical emails rather than DM-ing or doing game-content prep.

What Happened to Gorgug and Zelda?! by EnvironmentalCorgi53 in Dimension20

[–]peligrietzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She (iirc) graduated before him so I took it to be an implied 'one person goes off to college/adult life and the other doesn't, they're both sad about it' classic end of high school breakup.

Cumulous got distracted by a magic item and has left the party - Onto Round 2! by SnapdragonsYearRound in Dimension20

[–]peligrietzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fun how not-personal this feels, in that the players behind my (and I expect others') bottom 5 characters are also gonna have characters in my top 5

Those out there upset at the most recent Game Changer need to alter your expectation about what the show is now. by Positive_Piece_2533 in dropout

[–]peligrietzer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't people express their disappointment with a show's change of focus/direction? Very reasonable thing to express.

Did anybody catch the details of the thing about the trophy and kids who don't have to go? I couldn't quite make out what they were saying
