he's kinda libertarian in that he's all about civil liberties and restricting the power of the executive branch but also he's super against money in politics and for a constitutional amendment overturning citizens united so

definitely not like a gold-fringe anarcho-capitalist nutbag type libertarian at least

i listen to on the media and the moth. Regularly before, but now I just check the RSS for an interesting one before listening.

used to be more into general humor or gaming podcasts but most seem to be a few white guys talking about extremely white stuff, which wears after a couple years because it's the same material over and over, like reading an old internet forum or something

gee it's almost like they're trying to tell a story to make a good podcast instead of rules lawyering their way through three hours at a time

someone plays a game differently from you to have fun, and that's okay

basically reducing an rpg to playing mother-may-i with the dm is horseshit and gets in the way of collaborative storytelling and griffin is objectively wrong about how 4e plays

giving all character classes interesting and effective abilities at all levels of play isn't "making everyone a wizard" just like how allowing everyone to make stealth checks isn't "making everyone a rogue" and believing having those abilities somehow hampers roleplaying is a failure of imagination not mechanics

Ah my bad I thought you had legit criticism

For real though, it's not like they just call out what they want to do, they just skip the more time intensive inventory management/movement tracking/time tracking stuff in favor of "let's get to the story part where your guys do cool poo poo" part, roll a strength check to see if you rip that robots arms off

yes and the point is 4e wouldn't alter this in any way, it's just as effective at allowing freeform roleplaying

this idea springs from rules lawyering that you must be hidebound to follow precisely what the rulebooks say and since the 5e rulebooks don't say jack poo poo beyond "ask your dm if you can do a thing" it's popular among unimaginative types

thus far getting to the story where the guys do cool poo poo part has involved them saying they want to do a thing and griffin telling them no while he continues talking

ehhh I don't really like the fanart, I had my own ideas of what the characters looked like already and none of it jives with the accepted fan character designs (that scene is great though animated or not)

this is mbmbam not adventure zone but it's still my favorite fan animation

i gave things a chance and listened to another episode and it seems to be everyone finds them funny because they constantly laugh at their own jokes

like raucously, uproariously laugh at stuff that doesn't really warrant it

is that the key here? like, autistics hear them laugh and think they're funny because they're laughing? if so, you oughta check out this hysterical show called car talk

Of course PFT should laugh at his own jokes, he's a master comedian and we were laughing anyway. It's a different situation.

Other podcast hosts are either unfunny tryhards or obnoxious public radio gigglers. They haven't earned the right to laugh that much and it ruins most podcasts. Do they talk like that in real life?
