Zero One: Dec 30, 2004; HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

TAZ was pretty good today. Just a lot of DnD fighting for those who miss that. And a giant octopus.

TAZ

The final battle was fine but I wish they had been able to fight Order themselves for a little while instead of a million hellhounds.

The Chaos effects of the battle were really good.

The Firbolg's ending was great.

They also mentioned recent things starting as goofs, becoming real, and then harming them financially. I'm wondering if that's referring to their recent joke merchandise or something else.

All those unsold Bean Juice mugs...

Lin and Jimmy teamed up to trick them into doing the red carpet episode.

So maybe we could get lucky again and get another S-rank episode from their involvement.

This is like the horseshoe theory version of "if there's no reason for a character to be gay then why mention it at all? stop shoving it in my face!"

I was a little disappointed that Fitzroy bring asexual but Rainer having a crush on him never got resolved.

Haven't listened to it yet as I've been crazy busy at work so just going by the comments itt. But I do think there's something to say for just starting off basic and over time working in your large narrative with the state of the world slowly learnt by the characters and that sense of discovery is thus shared by the audience. A lot of my favourite RPGs start that way where you'll just start as some dude on say a ship and you gradually encounter more and more wild poo poo and learn just what the world you're in is all about. It's why I really loved Balance where they started as just some adventures exploring a cave, finding a magic item, that item turns out to be important etc. Or other DnD podcasts I enjoy like Dungeons and Daddies where the premise was simply just 4 dads from our world are suddenly thrown into a portal and things gradually get built on from there. I dont know, maybe I just like that more organic feel?

Whereas here it sound like Griffin has planned out a lot of it so far for this new campaign and is telling not showing, like what the state of the world is, what they'll be doing etc (building settlements?). But perhaps i'm misreading the comments and it's not as set out as i'm interpreting? Still I trust Griffin, and while I didnt really enjoy Amnesty I bet he's learnt a lot and this will be a really fun journey.

I hope by now you listened to the episode since your assumptions are wrong. Griffin spends 5 minutes describing the back story of the world and then immediately says that is literally all he planned and everything else will be figured out on the way.

And building settlements is the point of the game they are playing.

Good episode today. Lots of good questions except for the old Final Yahoo.

Munch Squad good too. Taco Bell has gone too far!

That's patently untrue. When playing as a character in a role playing game, you absolutely have personal and group goals. If there's a monster, your goal is to kill it. If there's a villain, your goal is to prevent them from carrying out their plans. If there's a problem, your goal is to solve it.

I'm all onboard the "just have fun" train, but it helps to know a little about what they are working toward.

Again, I'm down with this, but it is in no way a "game" and it feels weird to call it one. But I'm just picking at nits - it doesn't really matter.

No that's a pretty narrow view of games. Not every game needs to be "kill the monster".

Think of it like Sim City. You build your little city and imagine what and why things are changing.

Then an earthquake-volcano-asteriod hits and you need to start over.

TQY is Sim City.

All I am saying is I don't quite understand what The Quiet Year is working toward.

You answered your own question. Just replace Sim City with TQY.

dantheman650 posted:

In TQY, you have a goal. The goal is (usually) to create a city that can grow and create a safe and productive space for residents to live. If you don't like that goal, you can come up with your own goal. By playing it, you are almost certainly working toward something.

Plot Twist: Justin resigns from the podcast.

"It's a Departure" didn't really have anything to do with their podcast either, to be fair. I just probably wouldn't have picked a song that's clearly about two people for my three-person podcast. Ah well, it's not important.

I thought they said they commissioned the song specificly for the show which makes the lyrics even more confusing.

The sun is setting on munch squad! They need to get in before Justin ends it!

I figured it was a bit, but Griffin's "we've made promises" made me second guess myself.

A couple months ago Justin finally said he was going to stop saying the segment was ending. Then he tried to backtrack this week and Griffin called him on it.

That�s all.

For the millionth time, if they were getting paid by Pepsi to poo poo on Famous Daves they would need to disclose it was advertising. It�s illegal in the US not to disclose advertising like that.

God I was this close to saying that Chuck E Cheese was giving me Phineas and Ferb vibes last week. I even looked up Jeff 'Swampy' Marsh on IMDB to see if he wrote the songs.
