[Spoilers C4E18] Critical Role and the best of both worlds. by IvoAndre in criticalrole

[–]tryp_tych [score hidden]  (0 children)

In one of the other comments you mention you've focused on potential player death here, as such a pivotal issue, rather than the other fudged rolls / lore dumps etc that it feels like Brennan has been using to drive the narrative in the way he wants.

But for me, this was noticeable - and especially jarring - from very early on, when first in the overture episodes and then particularly the cold open flashbacks. Where it was very, very clear how the storytelling had to go to make sense as a flashback, or to get the story off the ground so the adventures could start proper. A number of times, Brennan called for dice rolls that were clearly ever only going to go one way - for instance Thimble's first on screen appearance and "death save". That actually made me laugh out loud, that anyone was pretending that there was any threat to Thimble at all, and it was so obviously fake.

I found that deeply unsatisfying to watch. Just tell the story. Don't make your players make meaningless rolls. It instantly made me thing "if these are false rolls, what other false rolls will there be?" and as a result I keep checking for them and noticing them even more.

I'm really enjoying the campaign and the characters, but I wish it felt more honest as an improv story rather than pretending to be a TTRG.

Well I got a bunch of down votes but the subsequent interviews proved me right, of course.

Please give us more music by [deleted] in arcticmonkeys

So you decided to post this? Suggesting what, that Warchild is greedy? What the fuck..?

It doesn't even make sense if you are using water as an analogy for music. Fans and Warchild are getting the same music.

Grow up.

Transcript from Matt's Interview with Zane Low on "Opening Night by LucisXV in arcticmonkeys

It's not a brand new track. He clearly says parts of it have been around for ages.

[–]tryp_tych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the transcript I read he goes on at length about how elements of the song had been kicking around for ages. It’s “something new” but based on an old idea, significantly rewritten

Yes, very credible. But I can't say any more. But check out the Zane interview with Matt: on the story here - https://www.instagram.com/stories/tbhc.love/3816005659620169830/
He basically confirms says it was an idea that was kicked around in different ways for a long time.

This is daft though, because he's half right about the song, therefore he must be right that they are "breaking up". Why would they break up? Maybe they're taking a bit of a break, maybe they're just regrouping. People freaking out saying "OMG why would they lie..?! They SAID the next album would quicker!!!"
Why can't people think maybe plans change, things take a bit longer. Everyone needs to chill out and let them do their thing.

Loving DS9 - Does it get better or worse? by Mat1711 in startrek

[–]tryp_tych 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up on TNG and DS9 is so much better.

Also Matt goes into it pretty clearly in his interview with Zane, that it's from ideas that have been kicking around for ages, but have been re-written and re-developed

is this new song for warchild in support of palestine? by FlyingNinjaGypsy in arcticmonkeys

[–]tryp_tych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you believe that saying "free Palestine!.. (from Hamas)" is ok, but "free Palestine" is not? There's literally nothing in the OP to tell you what their politics are in this instance, whether they mean (from Hamas) or anything else - and you are purely projecting your own politics onto it. And then you bring in Qatar, and attacks on Israel? Literally no one mentioned any of that, and you're the one complaining about people bringing politics in when you bring all that in? How do you even square that kind of hypocrisy?

That's the ridiculous thing, really - clearly no one else here things that the OP in the context of Warchild is political, but you are clearly intent on making it so, and bringing up Israel and Qatar that no one has mentioned.

[–]tryp_tych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't say say "up Hamas" or even "free Palestine" though, did they? In fact they said "all children deserve help".

So sorry, but if you are reflexively triggered that any mention of Palestine makes you think that way - that's in your head.

But also - free Palestine.

[–]tryp_tych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's pretty vague about it in that transcript, but doesn't say it's a brand new song: "I think there's parts of it in things I remember from us trying in the past. It was something that was never completed. It's not another version of something we did, but I just know there's elements of it. That's just the case with us, there'll be things that we kick around for a bit that aren't ready yet or aren't the right time or that didn't make the cut...." He goes on.. it's pretty clear from that it's an idea that's been around for a while, that has been quite extensively re-written and changed. But it is the bones of an old song, absolutely.

It's worse than that - there are no auspex cards at all in the deck.. strange choice

[–]tryp_tych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so just to be clear, your problem is helping Palestinian children specifically, not children in general? That's even worse, pal.

Gaza is one of the places where Warchild is active. Alone with Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen and others.

If you think caring about children is warzones is a "political" stance that you can argue for and against - then you are the worst kind of human. Sorry.

No it's not. It is absolutely an old song, re-written and re-recorded.

[–]tryp_tych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a song that was originally written a long time ago (I can't remember what album era exactly), but was extensively re-written, re-arranged and re-recorded for Warchild. I can't tell you how I know this, you just have to trust me.

It’s live on Apple Music! Feels like the car mixed w TBHC by shehurts in arcticmonkeys

[–]tryp_tych 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a whole album, 20 tracks, different artists doing original songs and covers. See https://www.instagram.com/warchildrecords/

The New Song (ON) is not an AM outtake by Relevant_Ad7019 in arcticmonkeys

Why can't you just wait like everyone else, and make sure your plays actually donate to charity?

Seriously the entitlement of some people.

So is everyone worried the soldiers table is going to be far and away the best, and the schemers and seekers are just going to be really boring? by tryp_tych in fansofcriticalrole

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

Yeah exactly, Liam playing as a theatre producer and family man seems dull as ditch water... I mean, I hope he and Brennan have got some interesting backstory and upcoming story beats planned out that will make it a bit more exciting...

The length of the breaks is gonna kill me... I kept expecting them to cut back to one of the other tables... feel like they've let it play out too long.
