#taz crit

[scarlettmarlens-blog]

You’ll never see more creative and hive mind fanart than of podcast blorbos. So widely different but so perfect each time

[may-tine]

I kinda wanna start watching dimension 20. What campaign is the best to get into first?

[mabaris]

sometimes, reading D&D lore, i am reminded that one of bioware's first big games was D&D IP, and many of those writers went directly on to work on dragon age

BEEF ROLLING HOT HOLY SHIT

[wizard-loving-wizard]

very concerning that so many NPCs from previous heists are showing up. i felt pretty strongly that it was probably kenshall who had paul pantry killed. maybe paul had some dirt on kenshall and was trying to blackmail him. maybe he even figured out kenshall was behind the gallspire incident and threatened to expose him.

but now darla davis is here and claiming she actually investigated the murder and determined it was gravel, even though it seems like the murder didn't even happen at prize pantry... very strange. darla seemed to be more aligned with the employees than the dentons, so it seems unlikely she'd go along with making gravel a scapegoat unless they were hardcore blackmailing her as well. it will be very interesting to see what she says next episode.

'murder we spoke' was really funny though. that made me laugh. and i loved how the background music went to a serial-type song.

my least favorite thing abt steeplechase is how a lot of the time the boys try to do things and justin just like...totally blocks them. so it feels like most of their efforts are completely useless. he doesn't even let them roll, he just roleplays the NPC stonewalling them, and doesn't give any opportunity for it for it to contribute to the story.

like when clint talked to the whittle around hardlight. it seemed so obvious that that guy didn't know anything about the crime. it would've been way more interesting if that guy had potentially had some information, and if clint rolled really well he would've found it out. it would take some real improv to do, but would've paid off so well if justin had roleplayed and tried to incorporate clint's initiative into actually helping them. but instead the same thing happened with a bunch of npcs and most of the episode was just spent in conversations where the boys learn nothing. i know it was pretty obvious that gravel didn't actually kill paul, but when montrose got her attention and asked if she did it, why didn't griffin roll to see what kind of answer she gave instead of just defaulting to a non-answer that justin knows will fool montrose's lie detector

i don't know, maybe i'm thinking of this more like dnd but this episode felt soooo slow

[ysolt]

when it comes to people being influenced by first watching popular™ live play dnd shows before playing, stuff like crit role gives you a very skewed and high expectation of how it's going to pan out but it's still like a pretty normal way to play. but TAZ just fully fucks you. like youre done for. it's like a horse kicking you in the head

[one-little-nerd-stayed-home]

Why do the Noir or genre short seasons/oneshots of ttrpgs go so fucking hard like Mentopolis was incredibly good and Twighlight Sanctorum is fuckin awesome and I think about Taz Dust all the time and also that first Call of Cthulhu one shot Crit Role did while I was in college is rent free in there baby.

Also Emily Axford is such a hell of a DM I love her NPCs so much

[perplexingly]

I’m looking for another ttrpg show to listen to, could I ask for recs?

I’m familiar with Crit Role, Bombarded, TAZ, Naturalne 20 (the Polish one), Geek & Sundry’s Vampire The Maquerade, Deerstalker (the one time they actually played dnd); I tried watching Dimension 20 but I just can’t make it past the first 5min of the first ep when they make horrible fun of slavic accents

I know there’s lots and lots more but that quantity is overwhelming 💦

Also if anyone knows something rather mystery/horror that would be great too!

[trashyspaceprxnce]

I like that C2 E45 of crit role is literally just taz balance. We got the planes, we got the red robes, it's all there

[breadedsinner]

I loved TAZ so much and it helped me through a time, I feel bad that my main memory is Merle seducing a plant. Might be time for a re-listen of Balance, although I am very much a fan of the whole thing, I'm really behind. I do wish it were more in conversations with Crit Role/Dimension 20.

Looking for the “city” dnd? Podcast

does anybody know the name of that rly good (dnd?) game podcast with a funny white guy dm that everyone on here loves. NOT TAZ. NOT CRIT ROLE. It’s called [something] City and features several gay ppl. sorry for being so vague. Ppl have recced this soooo many times I can’t believe I can’t remember it…….

[du-hjarta-skulblaka]

Somehow ended up relistening to TAZ Balance and its forcing me to acknowledge the fact that I am. Almost certainly going to rewatch the entirety of Crit Role campaign 1, despite the fact I'm literally on the final Vecna fight, both before I actually finish it and before watching the other new seasons hhshsjfjf

[omegawizardposting]

I’m enjoying the Crit Role cartoon, but I think as far as podcasts go, The Adventure Zone is more my thing. I would struggle to listen to Crit Role; I can watch it animated and have a blast, but podcasts are already hard for me to deal with, and Crit Role requires more attention. Meanwhile, I can do other things while listening to TAZ and not feel like I’m missing anything.

(Although I guess Crit Role is less of a podcast, more of a show.)

[disneydreamlights]

Are there blogs that are into Vox Machina but don't post Crit Role spoilers? I love the show so much but am terrified of getting campaign one spoilers.

(I am not listening to Crit Role, I could barely do the hour long episodes of TAZ. Crit Role episodes are four hours. I will die.)
