25:30 - You're misplaying as the DM. You're thinking of it like a video game where he is suppose to min max. No. It's a story game. LET HIM PICK UP THE WEAPON! It's your job to make their actions fun, not to tell them that they should be playing towards a mechanic. Remember, you are playing a game. Don't let the game play you.

I do miss those Monday nights. Great times. Here's a blast from the past with that crazy magic words game -- Yaug. Have you ever dragged your feet across the floor, then 'zapped' someone. Imagine doing that, but instead of dragging your feet, you drag reality.

The initial discussion of the rules was refreshing to hear, especially coming from people new to the hobby. There’s a phenomenon in the RPG culture where the “loose” view of rules is meant to ensure a) consistency and b) support the intended fantasy. By contrast, the “strict” view is upheld by the optimizers (some call it min-maxing) who look for tactical experiences. The challenge is when you have a mix of these player preferences at your table… Looking forward to more of this discussion!

As an outsider looking in I found this to be the most confusing aspect of TTRPGs. If the GM is making up scenarios then why is there a 300 page rulebook. Its something you have to almost see in action to begin to understand.

Great idea for a series of videos! Can’t wait to see what other games you talk about. Lost Ruins is fantastic, I agree with all your points about it. I picked up the folded space insert to help make set up a breeze. This game is definitely a must have.

I don't know how I killed Cemetary Shade 1st go, but my 5 Demi-humans +2 must've done a ton of damage while I was trying to kill the archer skel, cuz all I hit it with was 1 Bloody Slash to kill it.

Yeah I think he's pretty soft if you can actually land a hit on him and deal with the skellys. Maybe time for me to try and other summons

Spoiler for the end of gathering storm. Rand doesn’t become Lews. He integrates the memories of Lews after his epiphany on Dragonmount. It’s implied that he gets access to all iterations of the dragon throughout all of time. Still agree that he’s not really Rand after that point but it’s not just Lews taking him over, more like he’s leaves Rand behind and becomes the Dragon.
@DateNightDice2 жыл бұрын
yes, very true. It just seems like after that point it is more of Lews than Rand to the point that it feels like Rand is gone and there is more of Lews taking control... if that makes sense? It's more like a new character rather than just Lews or just Rand and it's a little sad that Rand is gone.
