SpacePig posted:It was the phrasing, not the content. It's one thing to say "I hope they go back to just slaying monsters in the next show" and "I hope the next series goes back to being funny". It's not that it's wrong, or not a "thread approved opinion", it's that it always starts an argument. And now I've started an argument about stuff that starts arguments and I'm sorry. The key word as I read it was "just." They hope that the show goes back to just killing gerblins and being funny, as opposed to now, when there is storytelling and drama mixed in with the comedy. It really is a fine thing to hope for.

Alright, fair enough. I've used the just modifier as an excuse before, so whatever.

Yeah, it felt like they were responding to a simple reminder with an unwarranted THE SHOW SUCKS NOW and we've just had that conversation too many times.

I haven't read the thread since it was consolidated so I haven't kept up on what has or hasn't been talked about recently, I just thought I'd throw out my opinion on the show going forward. I didn't think it would trigger anybody, my bad.

You could also stop using the word trigger like that, that would also be cool.

Yeah being triggered is a legitimate thing whereas that was someone blowing up at an innocuous comment for no real reason. Edit: So I'm not just being a jerk, I really hope they go with the superhero idea they've been batting around. I could see them doing a slightly better job of mixing the drama and goofs with that sort of world. Also whoever is the DM could have a ball playing villains. thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Jul 31, 2017 |

Yeah that's pretty whack. Anyway it's not really your fault, some people get really pumped up about TAZ. Just goes to show how much it means to folks I guess.

Although stakes and drama are good, they get exhausting after a while and sometimes it's just really nice to explore a new creative space for the first time. Specifically with fantasy and end-of-the-world stuff, I'm reminded of the more-interminable-than-their-author Wheel of Time books. While I'm eager to hear the resolution of this overall arc, it's going to be fun to have the McElboys + Clint freed of all baggage for a few eps.

Kenny Logins posted:Although stakes and drama are good, they get exhausting after a while and sometimes it's just really nice to explore a new creative space for the first time. I get this. Stolen Century was a slog to listen to most of the time, but ended up leading to something pretty interesting story-wise. They're at a point now where jokes and gags are going to be at a premium while Griffin's big 3 years story comes to a close, so I get where mcvey is coming from, for sure. But honestly, some of the best stuff in the show, outside of them actively trying to make goofs and poo poo, are the clever ways in which Travis has learned to make his fights interesting without having the boon of spellcasting, the crazy spells that Justin breaks out to catch Griffin unawares, and Clint fumbling through powerful stuff and accidentally being pretty good at it. I honestly don't know what I want from the next series. Less mechanics focus would mean more room for jokes, I guess, but more chance at a Stolen Century style semi-set story. More mechanics based could make for wilder battles and stuff, but not a whole lot of room for characterization. Whatever they do, I will listen to it, and if history has taught me anything about these boys, I will like it.

I want them to play Paranoia with Justin as DM and end this family for good.

Man it WOULD be pretty fun to see what villains whoever is DM comes up with. All we seem to know for sure is that Justin will NOT be DMing, according to him.

Colonel Whitey posted:I love Clint but I bet him DMing would be mad frustrating If he understood how the system worked and had a type of setting he enjoyed, he could probably be pretty good. Or if maybe he had someone to handle the active DM stuff for a campaign he wrote or something. But yeah, as it is now, Clint probably wouldn't be great, and Justin has no interest in mastering, so it's Griffin, Travis, or a 3rd party next time.

I have it on good authority Nick Robinson is DMing the next game and its going to be Terrace House.

Reading the responses to Griffin's announcement reminded me how skeeved I am by people calling him by his childhood nickname. I feel like it's pretty clearly what his family calls him and if I were him I'd kinda recoil at strangers acting so familiar with him. But maybe that's just me.

It's weird and I seriously doubt anyone at this point doesn't know it's a family nickname.

Fans posted:I want them to play Paranoia with Justin as DM and end this family for good. Paranoia has great potential to be hilarious, but the brothers might be too soft-boy for it to work out well. Paranoia requires a certain level of ruthlessness on the part of the DM and buy-in from the players on sabotaging other party members. Regardless of what they play, I'll be happy when they switch to something new. TAZ is still really good, but I'll be happy to get more of the rapid-fire joke-em-ups and less of Griffin's navel-gazing about the nature of goodbyes and extended scenes of role-playing with himself.
