Glad to see I wasn’t the only one going slightly nuts with the swap. The inconsistent naming thing was killing me, but I think the confusion was part of the point. Glad they moved on though.

No! He's literally the only person this has ever happened to! He's completely unique and the main reason the show is as good as it is

I've completely fallen off OTTSOS. Joe is just too low energy as a DM, I find myself losing interest by about the 20 minute mark

I think I'm kind of falling off of OTTSOS, too, unfortunately. I'm up to King of Queens and I wish that Tim had learned maybe 4-5 more facts about Henry VIII or listened to a recording of the voice he's doing before committing to this character for 90 minutes

I don't think I'm going to abandon it entirely, since the episodic nature of it means that a mediocre one doesn't set the tone for the rest of them, but I don't drop what I'm doing and listen to new eps as they come out like I do with Rude Tales. Branson's characters have always been a blast at least.

TBH the Henry VIII ep was probably my least favorite so far. I don't know if I'm just becoming more acclimated to Joe's style or they're finding a groove, but I've been enjoying OTTSOS more and more recently, and I feel like he's been hitting the pacing better. I do enjoy Legs but Taylor's other characters have made me laugh out loud a lot more.

Yeah I don't think I'm going to fully abandon it because when it's good, it is really good (still laugh thinking about Cavvie), I'm just gonna let episodes build up and select from the good ones I think

Joe is as fast as Brandon but he's incredibly dry, so it feels pretty different. my favorite episodes are the ones where Branson is playing, but the only one I didn't care for so far was the wedding party negotiation / motorcycle race one. I think I ended up fast-forwarding to the race.

I keep trying to get involved in both discords, but that poo poo is still alien to me.

This seems to be a consistent thing with Tim, he picks a voice and sticks with it even when basic common sense would be like Tim, no. Nobody is going to enjoy this. Please stop

I've started listening to Dungeons and Daddies while I wait for Rude Tales to return (the recording is done, now Taylor must edit it into something cohesive) and I've really been enjoying it. I'm the kind of person who likes their actual play podcasts to be 90% goofy bullshit and 10% sincerely heartfelt character moments and Dungeons and Daddies is one of the only non-Rude Tales podcasts that hits that perfect ratio I crave.

I've heard it's good but frankly the hideous name prevents me from ever actually listening to it

Also I'm fully over d&d. I dropped out of OTTSOS, I tried and failed to get into fun city, what I need is a rude tales type podcast but playing call of cthulhu or something like that

You're in for a treat, that podcast is amazing. They just started the first ep of their second season and it's a banger. The DM, Anthony Burch, actually cited Rude Tales as an inspiration for how to introduce characters in a fun and organic way (plugging them straight into the world and having them react with an NPC instead of having the player do a monologue about themselves), so the similarity of vibes is pretty strong.

Check out Not Another D&D Podcast for something in a similar vein, too. I'll also plug Dragon Friends, but that one is even more chaotic than any of these other three. Every episode is performed in front of a live audience, so there's a lot of (fun, good-hearted) conflict between the players and the DM to get laughs from the crowd. Also all of the NPCs are played by a separate guy, so sometimes even the DM's own NPCs turn against him. I think it's my personal favorite D&D podcast, but it's very very jokey, it's not for everyone if coherent storytelling and emotional character building is important to them (this isn't to say that the DM doesn't try to tell a good story, it's just rare that the players cooperate with it in the way that he might have hoped when he was planning)

That's a shame, it really isn't cringey or anything like that at all. It's just about 4 dads trying to get their kids back. It's also extremely loose, mechanically, and honestly the DM might be as over D&D as you are, he complains about the mechanics a lot and doesn't hesitate to ignore them when they aren't fun

You and me both, if you or anyone else ITT comes across a comedy call of cthulhu role playing podcast please post it to this thread because I've been longing for one of those for years.

Would also be interested in a comedic Vampire: The Masquerade podcast. I loved the Blood Tales of Depravity episode the rude tales cast did, but Branson hated the rulebook for VtM (which is fair, honestly) so we're never getting one of those again and it's left me hungering for more. Although I guess What We Do in The Shadows is basically VtM lARPing, so there's always that to fill that particular void.

Nah, Bogan Strahd was just sort of a general dick in the same way regular Strahd is, but his in-the-moment portrayal was out of the DM's hands on account of the way the show is set up.

Stream of Blood did some pretty cool Cthulhu stuff, their Neptune Society stuff should be up on youtube. There's definitely horror but the players are almost all comedians so it gets to be pretty fun. Several of repeating characters are just ridiculous and yet they still work. Horse cocaine may be one of their better bits, and the live show they did to determine what happens in the next arcs was incredible. They must have had something like 20 people they were switching between during the stream, and even had a running mystery/adventure happening during it.

Becca Scott's Calyx has some decent stuff too. Not as much comedy, but still very entertaining. Not a spinoff, but she's said it's inspired by when she was on Neptune to start her own Cthulhu stream.

Stream of Blood's VtM stuff has some decent comedy in it, but it's more dramatic. Still worth a shot just for Brad Lockwood and the running count of destroyed cars. Also, one of the main players is from that HBO show Raised by Wolves and is not only incredible in his scenes, but his reactions to other players. Dude's just good at twitch gaming.

I'm swiftly moving toward a solution which pleases nobody! YEAGGH!
Catching up on OTTSOS and I think it might just need tighter editing. These are all funny people of course, but it's got a lot more of the cast laughing at each other than Rude Tales and these pastiches of 45 minute Star Trek episodes are stretched out to 90.

That said, the Gamesters of Triskelion one made me laugh a lot.
