Just delighted by the idea of players playing dual characters. Just a fun concept

[@nonspiderweb]

If you are at all into playing a TTRPG you should check out DIE. It's actually really similar to the premise of this campaign. The players create ordinary people to play as, and then create their RPG characters with powers and abilities, and then they play as their ordinary people TRAPPED in the bodies of their RPG characters.

[@schorfactor7000]

DIE RPG works similarly, your persona is in the body of your paragon

[@jodinsan]

Three characters if you think about it. There are their present day characters, the movie characters themselves, and the hybrid of the two.

[@schorfactor7000]

@@jodinsan very true

[@lordbuss]

@@schorfactor7000 I think it also sort of happens in GUMSHOE. Or rather, each character has two sets of abilities, so some people adapted it into a version where two different characters played by the same player have the same set (while in NSBU, the "real" persona doesn't affect the mechanics). And it’s easy to do in FATE. Also, "troupe style play" is a pretty old thing a lot of people and systems do. It's how a lot of people played OD&D, even.

thats what i said its the last action hero meets Jumanji

[@gibberishname]

@@SgtKaneGunlock no it’s not. Last action hero already has people going into a movie. Adding a Jumanji (aside from the argument about the original Jumanji being stuff coming out into the real world) is just being redundant.

[@gwen9939]

@@gibberishname It absolutely isn't redundant. The Last Action Hero doesn't involve characters inhabiting the bodies of other characters. The Last Action Hero isn't an ensemble cast but rather has a single protagonist. The Last action hero isn't about solving the mystery of the world in order to return to their own. Both Jumanji and this campaign has pretty clear up-front premises about being types of games, even within their own universe. "Getting sucked into an action movie" are just the trappings, not the story or world structures or the characters' relation to them.

[@donovanfaust3227]

Oh man this is gonna be a great season. I love seeing a cast brought together that we don't always see a lot. Most of this cast I've only seen in one or two seasons and loved them all. Great to see Jacob joining the dome too, I am loving the energy he brings with Dang. Also I like how when Brennan was describing our Awesome Action Heroes getting sucked into Never Stop Blowing Up, Jacob was mimicking the classic 'falling down the rabbit hole' motion, it's exactly what I was thinking. Also I can tell the production value has gone up between these last couple seasons I've watched. Getting these longer, super stylistic intros, the live backgrounds inside the dome, and now these cool animatics during certain action scenes? You spoil us. The dome has always been a magical place but I'm glad to see the show growing, and Dropout investing in it more, even if at the end of the day it might not be "necessary". It's like the toppings that enhance the rich story telling ice cream of Brennan and the gang, turning it into a delicious sundae of art. Just wanted to give a shout out to the totally radical job everybody bts in the production crew is doing. Edit:Spoilers Holy, and Jacob explodes twice on his first role in a very dangerous situation! That was so hype

Have you never thrown down on the grill for truly 50 people, all of whom have been told the most sacred of Phrases, BYOB and you have 30 racks rolling in by the truck all warm from the drive. Would you throw them into the fridge and bring the internal temperature of all of your food up to a rancid barely below lukewarm? Like a fool? You expect everyone to use the piddly little ice tray? Opening and closing the freezer over and over letting everything warm up like a band of knaves? Are you pouring up ice trays the night before like Sisyphus? Nay, you text three of those invited most endeared to you to bring a cooler each and for 6 bucks in quarters from the change jar you get 30 POUNDS OF ICE and make off like bandits in the night, and guess what, if you need more, tis only a few single for another 30 POUNDS OF ICE and a short trip up the road.
