[@BestgirlJordanfish]

I'm a big fan of *dealing* Fumbles, where a player on a nat1 or a failed roll can take the dramatic consequence but also gain a metacurrency (such as hero points or inspiration), so that there's always this pendulum of more interesting rolls pushed and pulled. I can def see why they started pushing more Kids on Bikes like stuff for that reason

[@firewoodloki]

I have never played Kids on Bikes, why would that be related?

[@jonbmosher]

@@firewoodloki they've used KoB as a game system for a few shows they've produced (Misfits and Magic, Mentopolis, and Never Stop Blowing Up), and from what I gather, whenever you fail a saving throw or check, you get a token or metacurrency you can then use for special abilities or chances to make your next roll better.

[@alphabetbeer]

"D20 Panic" is a phenomenon I've been calling "Player Brain" at my home games for years. I don't know what it is, but every campaign, like clockwork, someone will lose their minds in a scene and start making the wildest choices, which will always snowball out of control.

However you have alllll these other buttons that shoot missiles and guns and do dives and all sorts of crazy shit and wouldn't it be so boring to fly from Point A to B without at least trying out some of the other buttons? And in D&D there aren't real world consequences standing between you and that thought.

[@whocares9838]

Work hard for the RIGHT jobs. There are soooo many jobs that will run you dry. The harder you work the more they will take advantage of you and you will never be rewarded or acknowledged for it. Good people will recognize your talent and hard work IF you are working at a job that actually cares about it's employees. Don't throw all your hard work into the gaping maw of a soul crushing company that could care less if you live or die. Work hard for good people, work average for assholes. Assholes will treat you the same whether you are the best employee there or just barely scraping by.

Nat 1's Pros: - Low stakes situations can become more interesting - Encourages improvisation and thinking outside the box - Great opportunities for comedy Cons: - Simple tasks can become frustrating - Disruptive, dumb and unfair for the players sometimes - You can die (in-game) Nat 20's Pros: - High stakes situations become a lot more epic - Bad plans can work sometimes and that's peak comedy for me - Makes you feel like a skilled player Cons: - Difficult encounters can become trivial - Disruptive, dumb and unfair for the DM sometimes - Can encourage recklessness I think great DMs know how to bring out the best of both and avoid the negative aspects as much as possible. In a way, Nat 1's and Nat 20's make each other better

As someone with luck such that requires for me to optimize characters to get stuff like elven accuracy just to not fail **EVERY SINGLE ROLL**(I also often roll triple 1's in such cases), I say nat ones are great on skill checks and attempting crazy stuff.

[@zaksaturday1693]

It can be crushing to a player who's worked so hard to fail just on luck, but it does make such an incredible narrative in that same lens to see someone lose it all in the same vein. It's hopefully something to look back on wistfully, and feel those bittersweet pangs about the whole journey and the empathy for the character, but equally I know I as either a player or as a DM would in the same hand see it as a beautiful story and feel absolutely sick to my core.

Chronicles of Darkness actually baked in "failure can be fun and rewarding" into the system for the second edition overhaul. While the original way you could get a Dramatic Failure, having a pool of zero, rolling a Chance Die anyways, and getting a one, is still there, you can also choose to turn an Ordinary Failure into a Dramatic once per Scene. This earns you 1/5th of an XP, called a Beat, and probably a Condition that you need to RP out of and get a Beat on resolving as well.

Nat 20 on conversation Nat 1 staying on topic

[@silver_david2498]

One of my favorite moments in a campaign was just full of nat 1s and other low rolls. We had to do a sort of athletics test with a lot of climbing and jumping. I was a very non-dexterous dwarf cleric. So every time I'd try to climb or hook my hammer around something to get height (short lol), I'd low roll the hell out of it and fall. I played into it as a grumpy old man mumbling swears and it made for such a funny series of failures. Then we had to cross a pretty damaged bridge. The DM intended for the bridge to collapse and have us jump or do some other feat of athletics to get to the other side. He gave us warning about the rope making snapping sounds, so I got to cast mending, fix the bridge, and strut proudly across the now pristine bridge. All the failures lead up to one simple and proud moment, and damn did it feel GOOD.

[@kirkwagner461]

"More chances to roll the dice." That's a good way to put the problem I currently have with rogues vs fighters. A fighters job is to fight critters, and to do so they roll a LOT. Over and over. Often getting in more than one attack a combat round even. But I rogues job, of sneaking past a guard, or picking a lock, is very often a one chance, one roll, either you make it or you fail deal. I am desperate to change this.

The wasted effort part hit so close to home with my work.

[@pink_parade2900]

After playing Chronicles of Darkness there’s a system that I’ve started injecting into all games I run which is the ability to turn a failure into a dramatic/critical failure in trade for xp progression. It creates an amazing table atmosphere when someone fails a roll and everyone else starts chanting “dramatic dramatic dramatic”

[@Blu_Maryze]

Thank you for releasing this I will try my best too

[@JCintheBCC]

I love the debate tactic of “my position is your fault.” I need to remember that.

[@Pluveus]

The quality of nat 20's and nat 1's is entirely dependent on the stakes of the roll. For example, if you look at the epic rolls on CR and D20, if you swap the 20s and the 1s in either case, they instantly become horrible disappointments. If Terry had gotten a Nat 1 at end of his story arc, it wouldn't have been the apotheosis of his character development, it would've been the negation of it. For amazing low stakes Nat 1s, Fjord's 3 Nat 1s at the carnival really planted the seeds for the inferiority complex that both drove and eventually led him to overcome his contract with Uk'otoa.

[@ChickenChal]

Maybe, but Brennan's oversimplification of Capitalism is rooted from his philosophical background. Capitalism isn't the exploitation of workers, that's just a path it has been pushed down. Brennan tends to demonise the system that played no part in its own corruption. The system itself isn't bad but its offshoots are (Hyper-, rampant...etc) these come from external systems exerting too much pressure to influence aspects for their own gain. I.e. patent control, unnecessary or malicious fixed market costs, monopolisation. While I would prefer Brennan's philosophical values over say a Libertarians, I believe his views miss the mark. There is nothing wrong with a Free Market, what is wrong is what people value which is an issue that would be solved with better education and social reforms aimed at changing perceptions towards things like healthcare, occupation, and community.

[@thomashanson6603]

@@ChickenChal I agree with you. Brennan has some beliefs on this topic that I don't agree with ("capitalism is the exploitation of another's labor", for instance), but maybe that's why I found it so interesting? I could just relate to his reaction of 'whoah wait a minute, hard work isn't the problem, it's the exploitation'. Something I could relate to and understand from someone that I would normally disagree with on the topic. It's refreshing to see criticism of the 'communism is when I don't have to work' crowd from someone normally sympathetic to that side of things.

3.5e and fumble rules have a certain take on the nat 1. IIRC, something like 20th level fighter makes as many attacks each turn against a straw dummy with the fumble rules. For like 1000 attacks or 1k turns. Every attack that was Nat 1 got the fumble thing. IIRC, some of the fumbles involved like fire damage to yourself, cold damage to yourself. Slicing own head off or something.

on the one hand failing can lead to a really cool moment of success after the fact but on the other succeeding out right can be just as cool and feel alot better either way both are needed if you played a game and got rid of critical fails but made success even better i don't think it would be as fun you need those moments of low so that your success is lifted even higher by comparison yes just succeeding all the time can also be fun but at the risk of making each success less important it's an interesting thing to think about

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

Interesting question, before watching this segment I'd side with Nat 1's no matter if they are DM's or Players being better more often than not - there are so many more interesting narrative ways to really bugger something up, even something that seems so easy its hard to get it wrong in the first place. Where unless the players (as its always the players) are trying to do something really really insane that would only ever work with a really high die roll, guidance, maybe even a succession of high rolls to make progress through this crazy idea anyway there just isn't much special about the nat 20 success - great you managed to succeed at something that little bit better.

[@nicholasfaulkner7185]

It’s funny Brennan saying Luck is a precursor to happiness and being a sane and ethical human being. When in fact the word Happiness itself is derived from the old Norse root “Hap” meaning “Luck” or “Chance”. That’s all it ever meant ;)

[@JaceDraccus]

I think whether a Nat 1 is better than a Nat 20 is a matter of... well, context, I suppose. In the middle of an adventure where the stakes aren't high, a Nat 1 opens up possibilities for storytelling. What goes wrong, how do you recover from it.... In a more life or death situation, like against the final boss (or taking a chance on launching your own content platform from the ashes of the previous company), a Nat 1 is potentially game over. Recovery from that is much, much harder. So they're both right, I think. It just depends on what you're rolling for.

[@penguinwarcry]

At our table 1's have definitely become way more fun than 20's. They always seem to happen at critical moments and are just hilarious. Social interaction 1's are by far the best.
