March of the Dragon Queen - Episode 1 - Prelude To War

[@SpoonySamurai]

I like the structure and how there's a bit of back story before they come together and meet. You know, like a proper prologue.

[@GeeksandGamersTabletop]

I thought it would be a nice change!

[@Fluffy52600]

I read Draganlance books all through my childhood, and I'm so excited to see where this goes!

[@GeeksandGamersTabletop]

Glad you are excited! I know I won’t always get it exactly right, but I hope you enjoy the spirit of the show and the directions we take it!

I was expecting Jon to be somewhat like Elrond after the Art dropped. Instead I got Nigel Thornberry

This was an interesting start to a campaign. Looking forward to the party meeting up and surprised that Sevvy didn't immediately go for the offer of power.

[@GeeksandGamersTabletop]

Honestly so am I. The moment she started going for it...I was certain she was about do it. I was SHOCKED (and pleased) when she showed restraint. Also makes me suspicious...it is highly unusual for her.

[@janissmits6577]

I liked your face Erudi, and I laughed at the events when Savvy almost walked through the door behind the black tapestry and crushed your hopes of a "good campaign". I'm glad it worked out for you this time, but give her time. It was comedic gold.

Enjoyed the stream.

I've yet to get to the 2nd episode yet, but I really liked this first episode. Without everyone talking over each other, if felt more immersive, especially on JJ's part. Also enjoyed Commander N. and Velrock's character introductions. I'm already loving Velrock's character, and the fact that he's commited to actually role playing his character. I love that he specifically picked hindrances, like being unable to read well, just for the role of his character. Instead of just trying to create a strong advantageous character, an barely role playing their personality or traits.. It should be fun and entertaining to watch.

Liking it so far. I'm curious how many episodes Erudi can keep them from going evil like all the rest of the games.

[@sevvyluv4709]

I can’t wait to see what happens. Like I said, we have a delusional warlock mage, 1 witch that is haunted by visions and can’t tell reality, 1 guy who is a conspiracy theorist expert and well …

[@Gutslinger]

2:43:47 So if raises give you an extra dice or damage, does it not show that said extra dice in the roll of the 3D dice? I never seem to notice it rolling more 3D dice than normal, even when people do get several raises. So is the extra dice roll hidden, then automatically factored into the final result? This haven't understood it after all of these months of watching y'all play the system.

It wasn't till an hour and forty five mins in when I realized the name is John stamos Also I love the mostly serious rp

[@Likexner]

I dont like the idea of "balance" between good and evil. Good is by definition good. The more good there is, the better. Evil is bad. The less evil there is, the better. A "balance" between good and evil is a weird concept. Does it mean that if there is too much good, someone _should_ do more evil to restore that "balance"? If so, wouldnt that make the evil acts good because by doing them, one is restoring the "balance" which is the desirable state of things and therefore good? I really think that this idea that there should be a "right amount of evil" doesnt make any sense. Instead of a "balance" between good and evil, i much prefer the idea of balance between order and chaos. This actually makes sense because too much of either is bad, or evil, while somewhere around the middle is the optimal amount of both, and therefore good. Both order and chaos are needed but in moderation. Too much chaos is anarchy. No stability, no social cohesion, no laws, no predictability. In a world of too much chaos, one has to live in constant fear of being dominated and abused by other, stronger individuals, because there is no lawful authority to keep those in check. There is no peace, only constant conflict. On the other hand, too much order is also bad. Totalitarian dictatorships are the embodiment of too much order. Every aspect of your life is micromanaged. You are told what to think, say and do. You are compelled to follow every single rule, no matter how morally wrong it is. You dont have any autonomy to choose between doing the right thing or the wrong thing. You "just follow orders". Imagine living in a world where you couldnt get away with breaking even the stupidest, most insignificant rule. Imagine a world where you get busted every single time you exceed the speed limit. Nobody would want to live in that world. There is technically peace, but it is a fragile peace that only persists because it is enforced by evil. It is not a peace that allows for prosperity. It only exists because noone dares challenge the authority. People are constantly stifled, unable to innovate, express themselves or fulfil any of their own desires, no matter how noble they may be. In conclusion, too much chaos is anarchy while too much order is totalitarianism. You dont want either of those. Thats why a balance is needed. People cant just be allowed to do whatever they want without consequences because then the darkest aspects of human nature manifest freely. On the other hand, people also cant be rigidly directed like pawns on a chessboard because it robs people of their autonomy and because the authority that makes the rules will inevitably become evil since there are no checks against it. This is my idea of balance in the universe. If anyone has agreements, disagreements, comments or suggestions, i would love to hear them.

[@GeeksandGamersTabletop]

Nice thoughts! I am not 100% sure but is this in reference to the red moon?

[@Likexner]

@@GeeksandGamersTabletop Its not in reference to anything specific, just the general idea of "balance between good and evil" that is so common in fantasy. It just never made sense to me. But since you bring up the red moon, let me ask this. If a member of that group decides that there is too much good in the world, are they going to commit acts of evil to make up for it?

2:55:36 This is the second time I have tried to watch this Savage Worlds Pathfinder version of the latest Dragonlance setting game, but I really don't like jargon and card inclusion, it's clunky cutesy handicap. The game should have just used a proper OSR system.

2:36:33 I really dislike the playing card inclusion. Quite random and lame. Always feels awkwardly cringy, like why is Poker trying to invade this game. Savage Worlds Pathfinder feels like the epitome of Fetch, it's not gonna happen.
