Dice Friends - Trouble in P4RA-DI5E Ep1

[@jackielinde7568]

Dale: "Happiness is Mandatory." Me: "Happiness is indeed Mandatory, Friend Dale."

[@Winterpandacookies]

Did you know that not being happy is the number one cause of treasonous thoughts?

[@jackielinde7568]

@@Winterpandacookies I did not know that. It's a good think I'm always happy. BTY, dear friend Winterpandacookies, what is "treason" and how do you know about it?

[@Winterpandacookies]

@@jackielinde7568 I'm not entirely sure, but I was told that as a loyalty officer I should prevent people from taking part in it.

[@jackielinde7568]

@@Winterpandacookies As your leader, I think we should learn what it is, so we can make sure that 1) we're not doing whatever it is, 2) we can stop people (by force, if necessary) from doing it, and C) because Friend Computer expects nothing less of us that to defend Alpha Complex from whatever it is.

[@Winterpandacookies]

Watching this felt like I was watching schadenfreude. I'm glad Jacob learned about Dale. Also, off-screen Heather laughter was great.

[@ujai5271]

"We are significantly over time here." Proceed with every other episode being about as long as this one.

[@t3hf1gm3nt9]

God this is already turning out to be everything I wanted it to be. I loved the Paranoia one-shot that was done ages ago by you guys, and Dale's GMing style is PERFECT for this kind of sillyness. Also "I said sphere, not spear. I watched you!" is the best line ever XD I've been looking forward to Jacob and Dale's interactions

[@pyredynasty]

That moment when Jacob realizes that Dale is an evil care bear.

[@Zara-Bari]

Implying there's any other kind.

[@pyredynasty]

I’d be willing to accept chaotic neutral once in a while.

[@Simon-ow6td]

Dale AND Jacob? What did I do to deserve this?

[@Grimwear]

In Nelson voice: Lots of things.

[@VorpalSmilodon]

ABSOLUTELY amazing

[@whitefirecomix]

19:56 - Dale: "I'm going to say yes to everything you say" Me: Oh god no! ...but also YES!

[@havcola6983]

YES, Dale is such a perfect DM for Paranoia! This could become the best Dice Friends campaign yet!

[@mattlozinski1700]

I'm just watching 2 and a half hours of jacob being tortured. it's great

[@EForrest88]

I do love watching Dale's "Yes" to everything attitude, I strive to have as high quality a skeletal frame of a story for that to work when I GM.

[@Eramiserasmus]

This going to only get better from here. We have Dale and Jacob! The only way it could get better is if Cam appeared!

[@7PsycoMantis7]

I haven't really gotten into the Dice friend's stuff other than the Semolo Plateau and the follow-up but this... this is gold.

[@EffinChat]

I saw Dale in the thumbnail and got excited Dale's DMing style is so enjoyable to me

[@The_Murder_Party]

Anchupom it really is, Cam too, love his worldbuilding!

[@bigwig8657]

Cannot agree more, toeing the line between letting players have great reign in their choices while also not letting them get to off track or at least punish gaming the system while being jovial and quick on the uptake is a hard skill set to cultivate.

[@The_Murder_Party]

Robert M I love the “do you have any seeing giant spiders before they take a bite out of you skills?“

[@MathonwyPrime]

I absolutely love the chemistry Dale and Jacob had during this episode. I had to pause the video so I could stop laughing to catch my breath. So good. Dale, you are a DMing genius.

[@embyrr922]

This is everything I wanted Jacob+Dale to be.

[@haj_endot]

This perfectly encapsulates why I want to play Paranoia with friends.

[@kilo3989]

"I know everybody! Hi Brenda!" *ominous music intensifies*

[@Tajessa]

I was just thinking the other day 'man, that one shot Paranoia campaign was great, I wish they'd play it again.' And lo, I have been blessed. I actually squealed when I saw this go up.

[@BlackPrince1330]

Heck yeah! I was so excited when I saw they'd be playing Paranoia with Dale as the DM! His style fits perfectly with Paranoia. This is gonna be one of the best Dice Friends series yet!

[@mackenzierobinson7310]

Deciding to rewatch one of my favorite dice friends, i didn't realize how quickly Jacob began his "feud" with Dale

[@munhozcesar]

watching this team being silly during breakfast today has made my day

[@JoyfulAmalgamation]

So what was the actual minute count between Jacob going "Oh Man! Dale says yes to EVERYTHING! :D" to "Oh man, Dale says yes to E V E R Y T H I N G O_O' "?

[@buzzbros2002]

Not sure, but it started at 19:55. I want to say now that it hits at 31:42. EDIT: or quite possible 56:11

[@myrixica4222]

@@buzzbros2002 nah you're right with 31:42 cause that's quickly followed with him says "I said sphere not spear, I've watched you"

[@Zara-Bari]

Well... Blake did keep track of all of his blood and Nibbles got to ride him, so... mission success.

[@2MeatyOwlLegs]

I usually don't watch Dice Friends because I am not so much into Pen&Paper RPGs but I have seen so many highlights from this specific campaign I just had to watch it. Dale and Jacob have superb chemistry. I love everything about this.

[@NNK001]

Jacob and dale is an amazing combination. Also dale is definitely the genie of dms. As in he says yes but twists the shit out of it.

[@drd051178]

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Thanks for the quality content!

[@MadMontyMN]

He is a Monkey's Paw DM

[@Ivy_Panda]

Watching this during the stream was such a great experience. I'm so glad y'all are playing Paranoia!

[@_Max_Fan]

I look forward to these perfectly normal humans beginning their first mission for Friend Computer. Or collecting treason stars for not even attempting them, whichever. Either way it should bring me to the required level of happiness.

[@TigerGuy786]

I’m so excited to see Dale is back! I love him. He’s the GM I strive to be

[@ziramy]

Rocks fall everybody dies! I'm on holiday and stayed up to watch this (I probably shouldn't have) it is so good. I'm looking forward to next time!

[@4winkyness462]

DALE is BACK! And Jacob is a Dino boi? I have been blessed.

[@patrickboden6264]

Dale just ups the enjoyability of dice friends. Good to see him back.

[@johnnywins7031]

At 1:21:20 Paul jumps in on the overlay to reassure everyone that everything is fine. Edit: Whoops, I meant Heather

[@Winterpandacookies]

*Heather. She's the one on tech

[@johnnywins7031]

Winterpandacookies Aw heck, I should’ve checked. Thanks!

[@idlemessiah]

"I have a knife!" *Heather chuckles off camera* Gold

[@IbunWest]

These intros are just getting better and better.

[@samuelblackthorne9122]

The idea of intentionally choosing a action opposite your desires and failing at it to achieve success is quite novel.

[@deworde]

The "We met two hours ago" exchange might be platonic RPG

[@KaelBanner]

Watching this stream had me laughing to tears, I really needed that.

[@timlothar7519]

Oh shit.....Dales back. Yay. This will get put on the back burner so I can binge watch it all.

[@Josh_Fredman]

Dale is the absolute best! What a great session!

[@flannelshirtenthusiast4159]

More Paranoia!? Jacob in a player seat!? Oh hell yes!!

[@TheMaddestHatter234]

Five minutes in, and that whole “consent to puberty” thing sounds awesome

[@grifftastic2745]

I hope Dale gives us a chance to see the briefings and/or handouts someday, possibly after the campaign is over. I'm always fascinated by what we never get to find out through the course of play.

[@Duraxy]

For the sake of Podcast listeners,The Introduction could have...mentioned a few more things. Like Ians Hand. Or the simple, but kind of important, fact that Jacob is A DINOSAUR. Without looking at the character Graphics, quite a lot in the early parts doesn't quite make sense

[@barefootbaymax9687]

I gush about Dale and Jacob chemistry. But I'm going to just chuckle to myself about Dale having reading glasses and wish he had a monocle

[@daleEfriesen]

If I could find a place locally that would make me a prescription monocle you can believe I'd have one by now. I've looked.

[@SenshiSunPower]

What defines "locally"?

[@daleEfriesen]

@@SenshiSunPower I'd want to visit for a fitting, and I haven't driven since acquiring the patch. "Locally" means someplace I can easily get to, so basically Victoria.

Feels like they're too afraid of the computer dice. Live a little!

Omg yes! Paranoia is back!! ❤️❤️

[@munhozcesar]

happiness is mandatory

[@kilo3989]

They DID both say "Let Chaos reign!" I thought it was just Jacob; but Kathleen says it too!

Also known as Trouble in Pair-a-Dice

Trouble in Treason Town was my first thought.

[@TBD83]

I love Dale and i love Jacob this is the best!

[@matthewturner5178]

Oh my goodness, that ending was so hilarious, yet so unnecessary. All they had to do was stop playing cards

[@mumafiedmustangs]

HEY! a Somolo call back. Ah such good times where we were all wondering if Beej was a Necromancer.

[@sergeantbagel2508]

Dale best gm

[@vijaywelch-young998]

Anyone know what kind of pen that is?

[@myrixica4222]

The Paranoia game system was just designed for people like Dale.

[@michellee1190]

So like, did you deliberately keep Jordan in the dark as to the “swing for the fences” nature of Paranoia or did that just happen organically?

[@Winterpandacookies]

I believe it's in the nature of the game that the players don't know all the rules of Paranoia, but also Jacob has never played Paranoia nor has he ever played with Dale.

[@michellee1190]

Winterpandacookies I do remember that part of the idea of Paranoia, but like... often its reputation precedes it. I guess Jordan had been “lucky” enough to have never been regaled with stories about other people’s games of it and thus was GIFTED an authentic experience as the designers intended. :D

Nibbles reminds me of Master Mission Operation Manager Nermit Bundaloy

[@BaltanTwo]

This entire session feels like a strange fever dream. I’ve never watched a prior Paranoia playthrough but I looked up details of the game and still feel confused. Love it though.

[@geokasshu4533]

This is so good!

[@RockMongler]

I don't think Jacob has ever seen Dale run a game, or heard much about Paranoia.

[@Winterpandacookies]

Jacob said before the stream he read the player instructions for the game, but yeah I don't think he ever played it himself.

[@daleEfriesen]

@@Winterpandacookies I believe he read my setting wiki, but knew nothing about the game rules.

Setting reminds me of saga by Connor kostick

I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH

I am drinking alcohol. I realized this was a "drinking alcohol" stream about the time there was talks of sticks and butts.

I have my container of Bouncy Bubbly Beverage and a bowl of Happiness Pills and all set to watch my favorite team of troubleshooters defend Alpha Complex from the Commie-Mutant dangers... Oh, I guess I can watch LRR until my show appears. Where's Tella-0-Mally?

[@FanboyBryan]

okay I'm sorry to ask because it might be disrespectful, is Dale actually blind in his left eye or another eye related thing? for years I've thought the patch was a bit, but it has gone on for such a long time that I've become curious

[@Winterpandacookies]

He has retina damage in that eye.

[@BanjoFox]

I wanna know what kind of pen Ian is using *dying of laughter*

[@bigwig8657]

Can we clone Dale? So his GM talents can be shared around the world.
