D&D rampages can be fun, and anyone saying it's not the right way to play can go to hell. If I wanted to get railroaded into a quest to save a bougie Duke I'd play a jrpg.

It's totally a valid way to play, it's just not a style I prefer to watch (especially when it starts right before I go to bed). I was much more engrossed in the ongoing quest mishaps of the Party Satyr, Jock Centaur, and Crop Top Harpy going on another channel.

i hope the 6 man tag tonight is good or they have something cool planned, because i basically don't even understand why you'd try to have such a huge match, even 3v3 is kinda "too much" in that the spots are too heavy handed in their construction and things feel like a big paint by numbers to cram everyone in

Yeah, like, it's a different set of people but the ten man tag was already a bad clusterfuck, and this 12 man one was recorded so soon after that I doubt they got a chance to really course correct.




what if FTR is in the dark order

I’m guessing the 12 man won’t go down like a normal match. FTR will have secretly beaten Kenny up backstage and Hangman will get left alone and beaten down or something

AEW Heels announced a membership platform

AEW HEELS LAUNCHES DYNAMIC MEMBERSHIP PLATFORM FOR FEMALE WRESTLING FANS

-- New Female-Forward Community Led by Brandi Rhodes to Hold First Event on New Platform Friday, August 7 --

August 5, 2020 – AEW Heels, the new female-focused wrestling community led by AEW Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes and the stars of AEW’s women’s division, today announced the launch of its new fan membership platform. Powered by Wonderful Union’s secure digital platform, female wrestling fans can seamlessly access AEW Heels’ exclusive content and other special benefits — all in a safe environment for engaging in conversation and developing friendships worldwide.

With an annual paid subscription of $49, members receive access to a variety of features including virtual meet-and-greets, video conference discussions with industry experts, exclusive AEW talent Q&A sessions, customized merchandise, special promotions, themed parties and more. The secure space enables AEW Heels members to connect, learn and thrive together through shared passions for women’s wrestling.

Female fans can subscribe to AEW Heels at: alleliteheels.com

The first event for AEW Heels members is scheduled for Friday, August 7, which is included in the annual subscription. The virtual event will be curated on the platform and feature a Q&A session with Aubrey Edwards, a social media strategizing discussion with Brandi, and a special session on respect and empowerment in the workplace with Keisha-Ann Gray, partner at Proskauer.

“AEW Heels is a first-of-its-kind community designed to celebrate and inspire our female fans around the world,” said AEW Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes. “With our new platform, we look forward to the next step in connecting the AEW Heels community and making this the best time ever to be a female wrestling fan.”

AEW Heels debuted earlier this year with two special video conference sessions designed for women. Session elements included a Q&A with former AEW Women’s World Champion Nyla Rose, a tutorial with renowned AEW makeup artist Stella Kae, and a mental health seminar with AEW Chief Legal Officer Megha Parekh, as well as a sweepstakes program and donation opportunities to support The George Floyd Memorial Fund and The Trevor Project.

The point is to get FTR, The Bucks and Kenny & Hangman on the same team so that they can fall apart.

I wouldn't be too surprised if some miscommunication happens and FTR leave with Hangman and The Bucks & Kenny eat the loss.

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


I have played DND one time. My character was based on Trump. I pretty much hosed around constantly and, in true Trump fashion, succeeded through constant failures.
- After our first battle, I split up the party so I could cash in on our riches. The DM allowed it and I went back to get our pay for beating this guy. But because it was only me, the guy cut how much he was going to pay us by 1/4th.
- I then tried to con a guy in a card game in order to make more money but he found out and stabbed me in the hand.
- Met back up with the party and got poo poo on for losing the money.
- Beat the next big guy by a fluke (used Unseen Servant to push him off a ledge, he fell into fire and then I rolled a natural 20 and he died instantly).
- Used magic to make myself look like one of the bad guys and I just kept hitting enemies from behind with an axe and killing them.

I don’t want to play again because I may have to actually try this time.

I'm all for this idea especially when it continues to push the growth of the Dark Order. Getting any kind of victory over The Elite is a win/win for the story

The first time I played DND our DM yelled at us because we all had video game RPG brain and wanted to check every pot and chest for loot and then we got taken out by the first pack of kobolds we encountered due to poor rolling.

Her, maybe Anna Jay if Britt thinks that might weaponize the dark order in her favor. Or maybe a debut?

Someone with more time/energy/talent, put together the Dark Jobber Rankings so we can see who is the King of Dark Jobbers (KODJ), tia

My guess is Lee Johnson or Alan “5” Angels (if he still counts, he signed right? Maybe he shouldn’t).

I'd be good with that, her last few Dark matches have really shown that she's more than just her gimmick and that she can actually have a match. I'd be interested in seeing what she and Swole could do.

Also her gimmick is absolutely awesome and would be the perfect Britt selection

Counterpoint: Abadon should stay an undefeated special attraction for a bit longer (I know Shida has already beaten her once before, but that was pre-signing, and I think they should keep her losses at a minimum for a bit longer).

Assuming she can still go, I vote Reba/Rebel since A) she’s tied in with Britt already and can do a one-off match without hurting any of the rankings or future match-ups, and B) the whole match could be played for laughs as Britt barks way too much on the sidelines and costs Rebel the match but still blames her incessantly.

Bonus points if it has no big “Reba has turned on Britt!” moment and they instead just keep rolling with her as Britt’s beleaguered sidekick, since that has been gold so far.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Abadon owns, the last time I had such an immediate "This is my favorite wrestler ever" reaction was the first time I saw Shida wrestle, and that seems to have worked out well.

Her twitter feed also rules - it's like 90% threatening to eat wrestlers and 10% body positivity and hyping up AEW.
