State of the Naish - December 2024

[@jacobford3766]

Started listening about 8 or 9 months ago, finished giantslayer, a&a, listening through strange aeons and just started gatewalkers last week. how could the universe not show me Glass Cannon earlier.

[@TheGlassCannon]

The important thing is that you're here now.

[@pr3tend3r-01]

dude 9mths and you finished giant slayer? that is dedication... 🤩. you need to give them some bucks to listen to some of their "patreon" stuff there is an ongoing one that is great plus some of their other campaigns that ended

[@IskarJarek]

you should try their subscription, also don't sleep on get in the trunk

[@sjoerddrooger1134]

impressive! Welcome to the Naish!

[@rossmctaggart2729]

the scroll list of episodes in spotify to get to the first 50 is a few good swipes 😁

RIP Hubert. Gone but certainly, definitely, painfully never forgotten 🦔

[@NoahKunin]

Should be an easter egg character in all future campaigns.

[@BB-ql3gz]

You can't put that amount of sheer sexual energy into the universe and then expect it to just vanish. That MUSKY Hubert energy will make itself known again.

[@DavidGRauscher]

I like Hubert, but he’s no Razmatazz!

[@SrTNick1]

Having a live show campaign that leads up to a full year climax sounds really cool. Looking forward to it!

[@therandom802]

@SrTNick1 this does sound cool...and my money is on Joe rolling rocks the whole way through.

[@jasondavies7000]

It’s been suggested by fans for years, glad Troy’s finally making a change.

[@rknowling]

I can't wait for more "Time for Chaos"! ❤

[@maltdingo]

Really hope the GCP looks into Season of Ghosts as a replacement for Gatewalkers. Has a lot of room for characters to breathe, just an excellent story with a big OMG moment.

[@DangDale]

I hope when they switch to a new AP, Troy also lightens up a little gives out some caps. Cause I don't think the AP was the sole issue.

[@waterslethe]

Yup. Hero points are built to make bouts of bad luck feel less bad. Every other session this campaign had a horrifying string of bad luck that someone said "this just isn't fun anymore" about. 🤔

[@nathanheilman850]

Yeah, it's interesting to hear the guy in charge of the campaign talk about how it's not working or resonating without seeming to take any responsibility for why that is.

[@cameron.johnson]

I totally get how annoying it is that caps basically make your pc un-killable if you can spend them to stabilize, but all he has to do is just make a rule that they can't use them that way.

[@blykins80]

@@cameron.johnson I've run PF2e since day 1 and, while I've never TPKed a group in this system, I have permanently killed multiple characters. Hero Points stablize, yes, but they are still unconscious and not helped much in the middle of combat if the threat isn't handled. Most of the Hero Points in my sessions are often best used to reroll a critical failure, or to re-roll an attack you really want/need to hit. They are typically for fun moments like that and when the players know they will get rewarded with them later, they use them in interesting ways.

wooo Strange Aeons marathon ftw... looking forward to it.

[@replays_gaming4200]

I think Joe hit the nail on the head when he said about every combat being a slog when Trash mobs are deadly encounters and every combat has people going down all the time it just became a slog. I loved gatewalkers and watched every episode excited for the next, I'd have loved to see it continue but I think it could have done with some tweaking (I understand as a GM running an adventure module you just running it as it was written) but I think it needed some rebalance. player death can be positive and add to the story and if there is no risk of that there is no drama, but you expect players to die epic deaths to a boss or in saving someone else, you don't expect player deaths vs trash mobs, I'm running a D&D 5e Campaign at the moment that is deadly and very dark, but alot of my trash mob fights make the players feel powerful and let them cleave through the enemy armies forces, and then when they fight a general that's when its dangerous and deadly and there is a chance one of them will actually die. Maybe it's the hero points as other people have said, maybe it's just the AP and the balance. I don't know. The campaign itself is interesting, the story is great, the characters are fantastic, the people at the table are what we watch for, I think gatewalkers could be salvagable if you were willing to just tweak a few little things with it, I'm sorry the people who love your shows are the silent majority most of the time and you see a sea of hate, We do love your shows appreciate you guys.

[@tbgold07]

Only started watching and listening to you guys this year. Went back and watched all of the live shows and watch gate walkers every week when it comes out. I think you guys are doing great.

[@davidglover7949]

I'm disappointed that Gatewalkers is gonna be sunset. I was really loving the characters but I understand you gotta do what you gotta do to keep the whole audience happy. As long as the cast stays together I'm gonna watch whatever adventure you run as soon as I can.

[@forrestweigel934]

I think ending Gate Walkers is a good decision. I personally love the adventure and where you guys have taken it but sometimes an AP just doesn't work. We've done the same thing at my personal table. 2/3 of the way through an adventure and it just wasn't the right fit. Stopped playing that adventure and switched and had a much better time. We weren't having a bad time before just not as much fun as we could be having. You guys are the best in the biz, keep up the Great work! Merry Christmas and Happy New Jawn!

[@Humongeloid]

I've watched the Gate Walkers show since it was hyped up. I'm certainly going to miss it. While my comments are generally about how they play out the session, I love the story they tell. I look forward to your new show whatever it may be.

[@AJBernard]

I ALWAYS look forward to Gatewalkers each week, but I don't know if it's Gatewalkers I love or anything you all would do. I do love these characters, I love the way you all play them... I will miss Gatewalkers. But I can't wait to see what comes next!! Bittersweet news here... but I will always love the GCP!

[@IM-Silviu]

Just throwing my 2 cents here (and totally not subjective) : I enjoy more shorter adventure /campaigns - 4, 10 or 20 episodes. And pretty often, I would watch series based on systems I am interested at that moment. Excited for the news and for the channel in 2025!

[@MrShooter72]

I’m not gonna lie; I was mildly hoping there might be a new season of Voyagers of the Jump announced, but wasn’t holding my breath. Hopefully something is still coming in the future. When I first joined the network, I went back and watched all of season one of Time for Chaos, bringing me up to speed. I really loved season two and I’m looking forward to season three. The Gatewalkers announcement was a bit of a punch in the throat. It’s the only campaign I have been with since day one and felt like my show. I always looked forward to the end of the week to watch the new episode. 😢

[@kionkick911]

Excited for 2025. Let's go Naish!

[@QuantemFear]

I really enjoyed Gat Walkers, I am sad to hear it go. Excited to see where it goes from here though :)

[@mikewillis9537]

Gat walkers could be a side quest with all gunslingers in the party lol

[@tracyburrage6666]

I was upset when they moved from 1e to 2e on the main show. But now I’m upset about the loss of gate walkers. I like the characters and the story. My biggest thing is I think you have to give out caps or go back to 1e. It’s hard to have it both ways.

[@HenriMuurimaa]

Impossible Landscapes was amazing, kudos to everyone behind it. However, I need Time for Chaos.

[@shadomain7918]

I love how you say "this'll be 15-20 minutes tops!" and it's already 10:34. ;)

[@dregarironfaith3603]

I’ve loved this network since the beginning. Things wish we still had: - Grant Berger - A more team/friend atmosphere. It seems very corporate these days - which has to happen I guess. I just used to really connect with the gang and feel like I was at the table with them. Now I feel like I’m watching a show. - I love Troy’s GMing and style but lately his posts seem a bit dictatorial and bossy with unilateral decision making. I liked the buddies playing a game teamwork the way it used to be. I hope they regain some of that in 2025. They are a great group but back to the roots with less corporate mess would be nice to see. Take care Naish!!!!

[@mybuddyken436]

How will you and the crew change the way you play the game that will make this next venture in pf2e better? it didn't seem like "gritty" limiting hero points got the results you were looking for. That said I am starting to vibe with GW and hope it wraps up neatly for you. I look forward to your next venture whatever that is. More, I'd love to see another season of Voyagers of the Jump. Traveller is one of my favorite systems and I always want more.

[@kellymccoy9403]

Thanks Troy! Excited for 2025. Sad about Gatewalkers. I certainly enjoyed the AP and show, but I do see why it might not be for everyone. Excited for what's next. BTW having listened to GCP since the beginning, you made me feel old as shit. 10 years 🎉

[@Keithersk]

Keep it up guys. Loving it all. You keep me sane at work.

[@NoSympathyGiven]

LOVE GCN, LOVE TFC! Found you guys this year through Time for Chaos. My youtube review put Time For Chaos as my top podcast, which i listened to 330 hours of. Which adds up to about 3.5 rewatches. I was totally hooked and am so excited to see more asap

[@0x_Ho11oW_x0]

Damn. I really like Gatewalkers, but I know I’ll love the new show as usual.

[@Scott-ql2kx]

I am glad that Gatewalkers is getting axed. Much as I enjoy the playing and GMing, the AP itself lacks a lot that really gave us a chance to get attached to the PCs in Giantslayer and Strange Aeons. I'm WAY happier to support a network that knows when something isn't working and is willing to pivot, versus certain other TTRPG shows hard committing to a downhill path for years because they can't or don't want to change.

[@waterslethe]

Yeah, I had fun listening but it's so many sessions in and there's nothing to ground us. It feels like a bunch of oneshots with the same cast. Bring on a new adventure, hopefully homebrew because APs are a ball and chain for an experienced group.

[@noahgelb9289]

Thanks Troy! Been listening since early 2016. GCP got me through law school, the bar exam, and many other challenges. Love you guys. Will try to make it to the Austin show next year. Happy holidays!

[@pthepersistent7369]

This probably harped on to death, but the bottlecap situation needs to be rectified, even in the most recent ep no bottlecaps for any of the great roleplay.

[@thetalesofulran1976]

Bringing Gate Walkers to an end had to be a tough decision, and I respect it. Getting together can seem like more of a chore when the game feel isn't just right, and I am confident after watching that particular series in its entirety that you ALL have great chemistry and need to find another story to tell. Just so you (Troy) know, the introduction episodes that you created before the Gate Walkers campaign started was very entertaining to watch. I got a chance to get to know the players and listen to some of their character ideas which really helped me get involved with the content you all created. When and if you all decide on another pathfinder campaign to run please give us some of that "insider look" stuff, it adds a ton to my personal stake in the groups success! Thanks for what you all do sir, and Merry Christmas! PS: I bought some Joe Dice as a gag gift for an upcoming party this weekend. He drives me crazy, but at the end of the day, I'd help him change a flat in a snow storm with no hesitation.

[@TsunadeKamaii]

Hoping there is a Blades in the Dark announcement in this

[@Guitarsoul24734]

I was hoping for the same, I feel like Haunted City is one of the most popular and beloved GCN shows.

[@dmeep]

Troys audio lvls are so much better on YT thank heavens i missed stuff last night due to low volume

[@analog_caveman]

Listened to the SotN and the Q and A with Troy. I was pretty shocked by cancelling Gatewalkers. I hope Troy can find something he's excited about.

[@Cerif55]

Here's hoping the new show lands better than Gatewalkers. I'd suggest Season of Ghosts or Seven Dooms for Sandpoint. I would also highly recommend being unafraid of altering the AP encounters if they aren't well balaneced. As much as Paizo gets the math right, it doesnt mean a single PL+3 encounter is the same player experience as 3 or 4 PL +0 or PL -1 enemies. When in doubt, build wide not tall.

[@IanRiley915]

I didn't realize that you all did a retreat. That's really cool that you would put that together for members of the nation. Keep being awesome!

[@Karma_Kay]

I discovered you guys a few months ago when the infamous Sydney's Doing Math clip went around the interwebs. I've loved everything you guys have done and really hope you reconsider removing Gatewalkers. I love how you all play, you play like how I used to many years ago with my old group. Too many people complain saying you are playing "wrong". There is no wrong way to play, the GM sets the rules for campaign. You can follow as many or non of the rules as you want, as long as everyone is having fun. I'll continue to watch whatever you put out but please keep Gatewalkers.

[@adamantois3]

I've listened to everything GCN has ever put out and the problems of gatewalkers are not unique. The combat fatigue is reminiscent to book two of strange aeons, the only thing that made that watchable was the rotating cast, random characters thrown in kept it fresh. That isn't possible in the GW format so we see the same characters constantly struggle for 7 straight weeks with no change which isn't great tv. The characters are underpowered and can't reasonably defeat the challenges posed to them in a reasonable amount of time. This reminded me of the slog of Joe's dead characters around the urgathoa gauntlet in Giantslayer. That resolved well only because of the high DPS builds that cut the battle times in half. Obviously the bad luck didn't help but I've done the math and if you were using automatic bonus progression or had just awarded enough striking runes for the front liners, there's no way Asta dies. It would have cut combat times down by about a third too. Too late now but if you're playing for the entertainment of viewers, consideration needs to be given to how to streamline combats and maximise good role play. Good role play should be rewarded with bottle caps which then streamlines the combat further. 5 PCs is automatically adding bloat to the fights and correcting combat balance for that extra player can also add even more bloat. The fumbles add bloat, the crits add bloat, playing up the severity of the dying condition every time adds bloat. The end result is a show that just feels off for some people but nobody can pin down exactly why. My advice as a GM who always has 5 players, is to make sure their character sheets are actually good. Nobody should have anything other than a +4 in their primary attribute at level one unless it's a class with a multi attribute requirement. Everyone needs to keep in line with expected progression, striking runes, potency, armour potency and actually useful artifacts. Struggling through encounters EVERY time isn't fun. The struggle should be in high stakes situations against meaningful adversaries where a death is poetic not frustrating. Finally, foundry VTT is your sponsor, you could at least use it to automate things more. Things like tracking hp, persistent damage, concealment, spell durations, distances between tokens and to hit rolls you could do with zero effort. Then Norse Foundry dice can shine in important moments, death saves, last hurrah strikes, max level spells, important roleplay moments etc. so those dice feel special and your other sponsor is happy too. Tl;dr I enjoy all your shows, gatewalkers is/was entirely salvageable with minor tweaks to loot, builds and bottle caps and I truly hope you start automating more through foundry.

Gatewalkers was my introduction to the GCN. Love it. Look forward to it every week. I am sad to see it go. Hoping that the next thing in line includes the same cast of players and Troy as the GM. I’m not a player but the show has made me interested in becoming one. Thanks to Joe, Sid, Matthew, Sydney and Kate for a great adventure.

[@weirdGraygirl]

Don't know if anyone has made this guess for the Buggles contest and given the recent developments, I figured I'd better shoot my shot: My guess is the inspiration is from Wheel Of Time. Rand and Moridin's situation seems similar and there's the whole Car'a'carn prophecy [spelling of this prophecy made me think I might be on the right track]. Rand and Moridin become a thing when their balefire crossed in Shadar Logoth. My other guess is Jodie/Aiden from the video game Beyond Two Souls.

2 or 3 Fods back, Troy commented, "Well we don't record Gate Walkers anymore..." Or something along those lines. At the time I assumed it was because the cat fight resulted in a TPK and somehow they let that little slip get through the edit. Now I'm wondering if he had already decided to drop GW as a show. I'm gonna miss Brother Ramoo and Barnes!

Wait hold up you cancel the main flagship show but mention nothing about it's replacement? Guys... We just want a simple but long adventure path like giant slayer with the main cast that's reliable and on time every week. That's it. That's what we originally fell in love with. I send you guys money every month not for the different cast and games, I send it because I want to support just one show that's on every week that's a normal pathfinder campaign 😞 I love the other stuff. But I would give it all up for just another giant slayer

First The FOD and now Gatewalkers... I started listening and got caught up on both during a single very long road trip I took this year. Got hooked and I'm going to start listening to Strange Aeons. I really enjoy Gatewalkers, but I do think it's more so that I really enjoy GCP. When the AP started I was thinking wow this is awesome and I even proposed that we play at my home table, but as the story kind of jumped around I started to see why many people don't recommend that AP and I'm glad I didn't start playing. Excited to see what the next Pf2e AP will be on GCP though.

[@throughlydruxy8501]

I think saying goodbye to GW is a good idea. I watch it, I've been listening since a bit before A&A. I'll keep watching because I like the characters and players and the general gaming vibe. But the story is totally lost on me and I don't care for the characters stakes in the story, unlike Giantslayer, Raiders, and Legacy

[@timjohnson2533]

Nothing feels more Canadian than watching someone drink eggnog out of the top of of a moose skull while talking about Christmas movies. That said, I'm excited to hear about Strange Aeons coming to a recorded marathon format, and excited to see the new live-play adventure that will be happening. I'm sad to hear that Gatewalkers is ending, as it was something I really looked forward on Thursday night, but I understand that sometimes a campaign will simply not quite click, and have to bow to the decision to let come to an earlier conclusion. If that means it frees up time to put towards 2025's offerings, I'm all for it though. Still the best damn TTRPG network in my eyes.

[@rukavinafree1]

Gatewalker characters are interesting to me. I really was looking forward to the back stories as the game unfolded. There are lulls in it for sure, but I can say that about Strange Aeons. I sloughed through the whole book about the boat trip, it felt like it was written originally as a filler book (imo). I also feel like Troy is correct with the pacing for SA. We have been in the Mysterium for WAY too long. I just hope SA is going to be on KZbin after the stream for all of the hundreds of hours watching, I would like to continue to see it through. Pulse MORE VOYAGERS please! Get Seth, Mathew and the crew back!!

[@elfinfluff]

My two cents on Gatewalkers is that the AP needs more Objective. It feels like it's written like a season of Sliders, where the group bounces from place to place through gates and just have a mini adventure, but it doesn't feel like they really have a drive to get anywhere. I guess 'back home' but it doesn't feel pressing and the gate jumps feel arbitrary. Giant Slayer for me really dragged during the part at the Giant Basecamp for a similar reason; they're here because this is where the book says they go. And not to put too fine a point on it, but without Grant around minmaxing or lucksacking the damage, the group just struggles with combat. This iteration of the GPC group's forte is really in the characters and their interactions with each other and NPCs, and I think that really shows through in Strange Aeons. If/when GCP spins up again, I think it would benefit from an AP that is more city based instead of "go into the woods and hit Random on the Bestiary" style APs.

[@MatthewInTheMountains]

I am sad to hear about the decision on Gatewalkers, I've really enjoyed the characters and the story. However, to echo the sentiment of others here, if you're not having fun with the ap then you're not having fun. Hope you find something that gets you all excited to play. I have no doubt it will be great whatever you decide on. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.

[@Tecmaster96]

Love the show but that AP was a dud for the table imo. Everyone in the comments loves to backseat GM Troy but beyond the bottlecap fetishism, I think the comments could focus on some of the stuff the party said about the AP. Namely “why are we here?” “What are we supposed to be doing?” “What’s the purpose of this?” All that sounds like an AP problem to me.

[@Whiplash23602]

I'm just waiting for CG to announce that their live tour 2025 will include Montréal Canada

[@BL00F0X]

Yeah, I was listening to GW mostly out of habit but it was not really hitting with me. I was holding out hope it would get that moment where I'd be like "Yep! This is actually awesome! Can't wait to see what happens!" but nope. I thought it was about to when they were planet hopping but the combat dragged it down, and they just ended back up on Galarian instead of another cool planet locale.

[@lasselippert3892]

Only started watching about a year ago when I got talked into playing in a PF2remaster campaign, and started casually browsing youtube for live plays to get a feel for the game. I really enjoy watching this group play, but it's definitely in spite of the Gatewalkers AP, not because of it. Looking forward to seeing what you'll replace it with.

[@LauriHyttinen]

The AP story was a bit meh but I enjoyed the episodes. Feels like the Troy haters wore him down. Sad to see Cannon Fodder go as well. For me personally not that much interesting for 2025. I am mostly here for the OG crew and PF. Although PF2E does not seem that great and the remaster with the silly name changes even less so. Nonetheless Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

He has one. Get in the trunk.

[@Krissosik]

Roger should retire in my opinion, his character already was fully utilized. I'd love to get Troy as a player into next game, but seeing as he is busy with something almost always when playing makes me wonder if he should focus more on organization and PF2 more. There is more people there to take his place in Delta, but well no one will replace him.

I am def a part of the silent majority- I don’t think it’s any fault of the cast or in any large part Troy’s more punishing GM style that it didn’t take off. Even the grindiest aspects and the slow pace made me feel it was building to something, but that might just be my taste.

Bold choice respectable choice. I love the characters from both Troy and the player that came out of gatewalkers. I’d watch no matter what they did and laugh all the way but this AP was a little narrow sandbox-wise. I’ll miss Ramius and Hubert the most. Good sign from the GCP that they know to adapt for themselves and the naish. Best TTRPG show out there

I’ll be honest, I know very little about Pathfinder, or Gatewalkers…. That’s not what had me watching the occasional show. I came back because you have an amazing cast of players, and more importantly role-players/actors that can bring to life some of the most amazing characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching in a game. The GCN cast has me coming back every time. Why? Because everyone is fun to watch, no matter what they’re doing. This is GCN’s secret weapon. Provide the cast with a juicy storyline that emphasizes role-play,and story, and downplay the combat a little. Let your cast really get into their characters, and their development. Drama, and cliffhangers galore! Do this, and I can see every show being enormously popular. Your fan base already knows, and loves your cast. Give them something that showcases their talents. Time for Chaos is a great example of this. Just my 2 cents.
