[@shurley96]

I love how Mike is absolutely owning Silas as a character. So many great lines and reactions.

[@ceilingfanenthusiast6041]

The thing I hate about RPGs is that the players sometimes try to persuade/intimidate influence someone and despire the player saying just the right thing, the roll fails. Keeps seeming to happen to Silus. The chance system makes more sense to me with physical actions. I just wish more leeway was given when a players actually says something clever irl, rather than their actions being irrelevant in light of dice rolls.

[@mennograafmans1595]

​@@ceilingfanenthusiast6041That's why you should actually roll social things before talking. Because why roll first and then describe the succes after, but do it the other way around with social skills?

[@ceilingfanenthusiast6041]

@mennograafmans1595 I feel like the social rolls are just hard to do right in general. I feel like either way it creates problems. I almost feel like it shouldn't be a roll, it should be up to the GM based on how convincing the persuasion is. Either that or the GM should have freedom to heavily advantage/disadvantage the player based on how well they do. Idk. Maybe a rule system could be made where the GM can advatage persuasion rolls but not disadvantage them just to prevent any tensions at the table lol.

[@mennograafmans1595]

@@ceilingfanenthusiast6041 Thing is, you then massively disadvantage shy or less social people. I myself can't smoothtalk or threaten for the life of me. Should I then never play high-charisma characters? That feels almost like demanding someone actually do the heavy physical labour their character does.

[@ceilingfanenthusiast6041]

@mennograafmans1595 yeah I agree. I don't have a good solution, I'm just a bit unhappy with the current one. I'm fairly shy too irl. I think I might be able to do it better under a persono in a tabletop game but still, it is definitely hard to try to be witty or intimidating.

[@superscriptturnip]

He did slip that information sneakily into his description of the room a few seconds before, maybe to give them a chance to stop it if they caught on. My brain was just thinking "Wait, there was something a little off about that description..." when he revealed it outright. Well played, Marshall Andy.

[@ethanlappin]

​@@superscriptturnipyeah it's a more subtle form of roleplay and storytelling that'd be interesting to see them learn instead of the more hand holding 'you see the non-intimidated orderly stood by the door looking anxious' especially as they play more complex games like deadlands where there isn't necessarily a redundancy for failed actions like the dnd games they've played

[@ilfardrachadi2318]

I hope Misty Mountain Gaming take note of the fact everyone has to keep picking up and peering at their dice to see what they have rolled. I love the tinkling sound of these dice hitting each other and clonking onto the table, but if I were at a table with players I didn't know and trust I'd be pretty uncomfortable with dice getting picked up before anyone can read the number rolled.

[@weneedaladder8384]

My problem isn't so much the distrust of other players but just the fact that it seems the dice are really difficult to read. It's kinda one of the most important things when it comes to dice: knowing what they land on.

[@GarmrKiDar]

Yeah, ornate metal dice may look cool but they're really hard to read, which makes action scenes all the grindier. Same goes with low contrast colours, or excessively colourful or 'noisy' patterns. Honestly looking at their website they have some really pretty acrylic dice that are a lot more readable than that. Some of their metal dice also have coloured enamel faces, making the numbers stand out a lot more, and doing with much less frills. So they know how to make readable dice, but clearly readability wasn't on their mind when they designed their hollow sets.

[@Joe90h]

You must be playing with some lousy players if they feel the need to lie about their die rolls to succeed. Let the failures happen, I say. (Although I will admit, there was one time with a budding DM's girlfriend but the DM kinda knew she'd try to pull something so sat next to her as naturally as possible to peak some of the rolls)

Im thinking Victoria is either secretly the leader of the gang & needs their rings for some supernatural purpose or maybe she wants the rings to do a ritual to resurrect her family.

[@banditbanzai3197]

The rings do seem oddly specific, and I have been waiting for some kind of complication to emerge with her. But it might also be a mundane human thing, where she wants to be able to look at all the rings laid out together and know the gang all paid. Or it could easily be something like you came up with. I'm really curious to find out.

[@SolaScientia]

@@banditbanzai3197 Same. Initially it seems fine to want the rings as proof that the targets are actually dead, but at the same time it's not like it's impossible to get the rings without killing the targets. I'm sure there would be ways to prove the targets are actually dead without needing the rings, so it now seems oddly specific. Or I'm just way overthinking it all.

[@AquaMaryn.]

I don't think her motives are as benevolent as resurrecting her family. She may not even be 'Victoria'. :)

[@GarmrKiDar]

I don't know, to me the rings seem a pretty reasonable request of proof in-game, and on a meta level, it is a sensible way for Andy to impose some limitations and make the action more involved - ie. not sniping Bellows or blowing up his whole house with dynamite. I can see the fun in speculating, but I don't feel like Andy would make a plot where the friendly NPC with a vengeance quest had a secret nefarious purpose all along while *also* making the targets of her vendetta so spectacularly evil. It's not like they're hunting down morally grey veterans or anti-heroes with checkered pasts, these are straight-up villainous bastards so it would be a bit weird narratively if Victoria was secretly Even More Evil.

[@lauramarschmallow2922]

I posted on the lst video, that I think either Victoria or er late husband were the leader or at least run with the red hand gang.

Mike needs to add intimidation whenever he levels up and can add new skills.

True, but Luke should not, since it's in-character for DeLacy to be trying to intimidate folks while not being intimidating (and while actually being extremely lethal). Except occasionally, through amazing luck.

I used to work in a prison, and a man who worked a similar job to that security guard, and he acted remarkably like that NPC. So that was just extra funny for me personally. Thank you Andy, something good from my awful old job 51:56

[@superscriptturnip]

(Spoilers below) Theory (that is probably just me reading way too much into things): At 1:06:35 when Ducrow asks if they could be persuaded to look the other way, Silas answers "Not this time". Could this be a callback to something in his past, and why he gave up being a lawman? He said he was disillusioned with the corruption in the system. Maybe he was once pressured by his colleagues into looking the other way and letting a criminal get away, and came to regret it later? Maybe he became a bounty hunter to make up for this? Either way, I'm loving this series!!

[@SolaScientia]

Ooh, that was clever of Andy when he clarified how many people were in the room and just casually acted like there were always just the 3 and not the 4. Well done with that. The entire exchange at the security room with Silas trying to lift shutter had me in stitches. I love how Mike is playing Silas. "Who'd have thought it. A bad politician." I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard at that line. Silas getting a Benny for the line about his hat being over the eyes strikes me as Andy doing that begrudgingly given the head shake and laughing. I'm not sure if the whole deal with Sweet William and them roping in Robert the locksmith derailed Andy, but he rolled with it wonderfully. Okay, I thought Bellows was bad making my skin crawl, but Ducrow (however she spells it) is just as bad in a different way. Andy really not pulling the punches with these villains. Edie with the pencil thinking Daisy was a vampire is hilarious. I can't laugh at Edie much though because I was thinking the same thing. Well, as horrifying as that was, it was nice of Andy to kill off Bobby and not Edie or Silas. That observation was premature, lmao. I was not expecting the machine to bring Bobby back to life by putting the poison back into Daisy. That really surprised me that it worked.

[@coyoteartist]

In case no one wondered, the Wesson dagger pistol is a real thing. It's an .41 caliber over under 2 shot derringer where you have to rotate the barrel to fire the second shot. The small blade would slide out from a center section between the two barrels. They were made between 1868 and 1860. As only about 2000 were made, they're pretty rare.

[@joshuahadams]

There were _loads_ of dagger-pistols in the late 1800’s. Cartridge-firing were properly taking off with things like pinfire and rimfire ammunition rather than cap-and-ball. When you can just pop out the empty brass instead of having to prime, charge, and load a ball, you can get funky with it.

Its the mournival, with spades (swords) representing the nobility and monarchy, hearts representing the clergy, diamonds (coins) representing merchant classes and clubs the peasantry. The hierarchy is based on the social structure of medieval society.

[@NacnudPinky]

The sickness transfer machine is coincidentally similar to the corruption transfer machine found in one of fort calisco's special missions in Band of Blades. It is also being used in a similar manner where unfortunate victims who are not important to the group Suffer to help keep “important people” healthy While they’ll probably never play band of blades, due to its dark militaristic themes, many player characters and similarities with blades in the dark, I am still holding out for an oxventure legion retreating from undead armies across a region now magically unstable. I could see Andy running that as the setting is much less whimsical with hate-able, horrific NPCs on both sides. Although Johnney could do some excellent voices for those unique characters.

I was thinking it was sucking the life out of one to give to the other (a la what the count's machine does in The Princess Bride) until Andy explained about the diseases transferring. Admittedly his explanation makes more sense than what I was thinking.

Nah. I figured it out before they’d even finished talking to the bartender. Mainly because it’s not my first time seeing this plot.

Am I the only one fascinated by Marshal Andy's sticks of TNT that look like they're made of RedVines and electrical tape? 😂
