Stardust Rhapsody Ep. 4 | Sci-Fi D&D Campaign | Stone Temple Pilot

[@jessiecardella3106]

My heart melted when everyone thought Casey was saying she wasn’t very smart when she was describing Dandy and the whole crew jumped in with the “That’s not true!” You guys are all such genuine good friends to one another it’s so lovey 🥰

[@Ravensinkwell]

Mace this entire episode: “and you get a dread. And you get a dread. You’re all getting dreads.” I know it was plot reason but he had to have felt like Oprah giving out dreads.

[@raijuko]

He really dreaded telling them

If this was a cartoon episode, then it'd be called "Dread" with how much it is.

[@BlazeNStar]

Rex being ASD + ADHD levels of hyperfixating on dinosaurs and therefore naming himself Rex Maxum because he knows the most about dinos like the t-rex and their tech and magic. It has to be the funniest thought for me today. Like he found this dino temple and is only there because he's trying resurect all dinos and/or to become a dino because he's so obsessed. All his previous crimes and feats were all to fund his dino obsession. He used his whole trust fund to buy the property the dino temple is on just so he could be there and no one kick him out. Lmfao

"It sat waiting, and it has been released" DAMN THAT WAS POWERFUL Mace is a damn good story teller. His use of repetition, pausing, and enunciation to create tension and suspense is absolutely stellar. It felt like I could absolutely feel that pressure, that dread he creates

”You feel a sense of dread” is just… very clever

[@AJB4D]

Mace I think is th best DM for discribing the flow of combat. Like a well written fantasy or scifi book based on what weaponry is used. Amazing spectrum of talent from this crew across all the series. Mikey as dm fo uprooted is unmatched at letting the party go full chaotic and building a world of madness as they getninto whatever. Nikkie DMing for witchlight is the best I've seen for building the world and npcs into something you love as much as the players characters. I'm half way through the youtube binging. Gonna have to patreon support when im caugh up.

[@sleepyproduction7166]

Derek’s icebound is phenomenal especially after episode 3-4 it gets to a point you can’t stop listening to it. He’s a master of suspense, tension, and fear. To the point I had people asking me if I was ok, especially during the fights. Andy’s character Skrimm is really developing and growing.

[@anthonyplacek9703]

sometimes it feels like the party has one brain, but each character has a different reaction to it. leboosh was given the brain for five minutes, and realized that with him tanking for the party, it might get damaged so he gave up brain priveleges most of the time. chuckles refuses to admit brains even exist. dandy doesn't know what a brain is, and the rest of the party are too afraid of what may happen if she got to use it to even let her know about it. pyke, while not having the brain, decided that it would make him look "less cool" and that he would manage to get by just fine with "being awesome" which left rett and kavir, kavir decided it was a lot of responsibility, and only wanted custody on alternating weeks for tuesdays and thursdays. and rett gets it the rest of the time. lol

[@aesyth]

These streams are played live on twitch, and with a donation of 500 bits the players get a Twist of Fate that allows them to reroll a dice roll (usually a d20), aiming to get a higher one/pass a check or save. A donation of 666 bits gives the DM a Twist of Dread that allows them to make a player reroll (with the intention of having the player get a lower one) or reroll one of their rolls. They keep track of them with the bits counter in the twitch overlay and with two pots of tokens irl. Hope this helps!

[@sleepyproduction7166]

No so on twitch they get donations of bits, 500 for a twist which helps the party, and 666 bits which help the DM. What helps the DM? Stopping them from figuring out the plot to early. But there’s different types. Some dreads are straight disadvantage, and others are whole rerolls. Some twists just are advantage, some let them reroll. I think death roll dread/twist let them reroll.
