[@mr.e.knight8307]

I'm not one to beg for them, but I did enjoy the extra long eppy.

[@mattwilkes2321]

Yessir

[@mr.e.knight8307]

Sydney is holding the shit out of that invisible katana.

[@playlistb3795]

34:05 that Force Theme drop was *chef's kiss*, as was the response😂

[@grahammacy9290]

Skid’s comedic timing is flawless, and in this case he anticipates where Joe is going in the roleplay by enough time to find the song he wanted and have the theme swell perfectly with Joe. It was so, so good.

[@brendendroid]

Another amazing episode! Remaster ruling FYI: casters can still use "outdated" spells that have been thematically replaced by a spell with a different name. So magus can still use the old attack roll spells that have been thematically replaced by saving throw spells; most notably: Shocking Grasp and Ray of Frost! This is the official Paizo ruling for Pathfinder Society.

[@rossmctaggart2729]

may all your Matthew's be smooth..let the shaving commence! 😂

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

That fan fumble was tight!

[@SurfRlyeh]

Two really exceptional fumbonis tonight.

[@mikesangster3570]

"Hang on, I wanna watch this" Cleric gets high...yes!!!!!

[@TitoWinA]

Perfect ep, the length was great, Zephyr stole the show YET AGAIN, and the fan fumble was the cherry on top, so good!

[@tylermckay2586]

Spell compoents in the remaster are completely removed! Also for Sydney, all pre-remaster spells are still valid, unless they got completely reworked and still have the same name. So she can still keep Shocking Grasp for her Magus

[@Joeys-Channel]

Longer ep the way to go with this adventure

[@jasonkeeley7426]

I'm sure we'll hear this from Professor Eric, but Remastered light does NOT need to be cast on an object! It has subsumed the functionality of dancing lights in that it makes a little orb of light you can move around (or attach to a willing creature so it automatically moves with that creature).

[@dmeep]

I have lost the fight to stay silent as I type these words. May others succeed where I have failed...

[@upsidely2189]

This reads like something you'd find scrawled next to a dead knight in a Souls game

[@paydronian]

I, too, have failed in my sacred charge. Godspeed to those more honorable than us.

[@Cerif55]

Love the longer episode. I know the pre-show banter is part of this groups warm-up to actually playing. My group does the same thing but, only getting an hour or less of gameplay can be disappointing since the story progresses so slowly that way. Might be why their Giantslayer game took 7 years...

[@wondermuttperez255]

I have to say, Troy has a great talent for foreshadowing without giving the game away.

[@twistedcustoms3847]

Words fail...Praise Praise 🙏

[@Kevlar-78]

“This is an old tree ! They used to be up there !” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Kopfschuss451]

That fan fumble was busted. Imagine if that had happened to one of the players like Buggles? Four rounds of not being able to do anything except run and hide is /thumbsdown.

[@andytaylor6267]

That bant really went in an unusual direction lol

[@joesteel7409]

As a long term listener to this on podcast, it was great to check in and watch the vid, love this group and game.

[@upsidely2189]

Kate's superb acting skills on full display with her portrayal of "sick" Zephyr 😂.

[@therantinggm-gd8ty]

Joe needs to read the remastered light spell. It creates a moveable orb, they combined dancing lights and the light spell. No longer have to cast it on something.

[@GryphonDes]

Zephyr is of ELVEN descent - so no check required in dim light

[@Nillockaroh]

I was driving and I caught this on Kate's turn around the 42 minute mark on Spotify, she got all excited when she was about to use Zephyr's ki strike focus point ability, rolled poorly on the attack and missed. Well, at this time Monk has not been remastered, and in the Ki Strike ability it allows you to make a strike or flurry of blows as part of that focus point attack, and it is all one action. I believe what Kate did was activate the ki strike and make a bow attack, and then followed it up with a flurry of blows, which does get her more attacks but certainly nerfs her in terms of accuracy and damage overall. So she should have done one action to ki strike with two attacks on her flurry of blows, she may have still missed with all of the attacks but at least it would be using the action economy well.

[@Penguken]

Juicy Ep length today y’all! Let’s buckle in to go long 😁

[@keithpark2044]

Doesn’t Foundry have a secret roll feature where the player rolls the check but only the GM sees it. Why not use that for those checks? Use their fancy dice for the public rolls.

[@justAuntyJoe]

But pretty dice.

[@Chadius]

1:36:50 FOXFIRE! You'll get caught up in the... FOXFIRE! FOXFIRE! FOX-FIYAAAAAAAAAH!

[@luc1829]

Honestly, the *best* first level spell for a Magus for the first few levels is just Magic Weapon. I usually don't even bother with damaging spells for the most part and rely entirely on my cantrips for damage. Though Expansive Spellstrike is such a nice feat for fixing that headache of "which one of these spells can be used to strike".

[@jackofallnerds727]

Its an old tree, they used to be all the way up on the ceiling...Tree Nuts...thank you GCN. hahaha.

[@Ren_Brands]

Fun Episode, everyone was excelent but Kate and Joe did a particularly great job in this one.

[@chance9512]

I spent a split second going "omfg what did Kate and Joe do?" 😂

[@thorinbane]

With how long combat takes in remaster, longer EP almost required. Really enjoyed the RP and some combat. Thanks for staying OT for the fans.

[@russellcharlton7814]

Longer in remaster? How so?

[@thorinbane]

@@russellcharlton7814 Having to chew through HP block and tactics are brutally important to be able to maximize chance at crits. Joe aiding another(guidance) matters long term. HAVE to debuff them and buff you. (2E in general) but making some rule adjustments is also hard to adapt. With only some changes you have to look at everything individually. Its actually more time consuming because you aren't looking for a total overhaul but nuances. A small change like Astas spell strike no longer working with her shocking grasp(or remaster name equiv) is one such thing. So you are relearning the rules. Slowing down combat, but it will fix itself with more time, like any system. They mentioned in the fod that they are hybriding it because there is weridness with incomplete rules at present. Might change with monster core coming out this week, or at least present less discrepancies. I will say Rolemaster was brutal for characters dying, but combat didn't last very long. Modern game design is like that, very gamey (imo) and tends to take longer than an OSC style game. Though you are more likely to stick around long term unless you name your character lucky.

[@russellcharlton7814]

@@thorinbane I hear you.

[@shadeslayer16]

I don't know if I missed this, but isn't Zephyr a half-elf? Why is she rolling concealment on dim light?

[@IceDragon978]

probably a feature the wall-clinging goggles man has is causing it

[@BlueSapphyre]

The Looksee Man has concealment in dim light.

[@noctea]

Shocking Grasp is such a central part of most magus builds, Paizo will have to consider this when they remaster the magus. Until that happens I allow the magus in my game to keep using Shocking Grasp.

[@DireWolf271]

Hydraulic push, briny bolt, and horizon thunder sphere are some fun alternatives, but yeah there is no real reason players can't keep using shocking grasp if they like it.

[@upsidely2189]

I doubt anything will be done about it. I wholly expect Spellstrike to still be functionally the same, Strike with infused spell. As it's perfectly fine to use legacy content (preremaster) people will still be using Shocking Grasp. Despite speculations, I can't find anything confirming Thunderstrike replaces Shocking Grasp. In fact, official statements seem to confirm you could still use Shocking Grasp even in PFS games. For example Paizo officially addressed the minutiae of it with Ignition and Produce Flame - stating you can learn either spell due to them functionally being different, despite Ignition being the thematic equivalent to Produce Flame.

[@Penguken]

Upsidely beat me to the punch. As a fellow magus and rules lawyer, pre-remaster spells are generally fine for use post-remaster if the name was changed to something else (which is the case for shocking grasp). As such, Sydney should still be able to use shocking grasp. Hopefully Prof. Eric catches this

[@bcjames6235]

Great ep. Shaved Matthews, treez nuts, interesting combat (that they might have had some issues with if not for that boss fan fumble). This show makes me happy.

[@Hoodoojuju82]

Troy, I love the headbands. It's the same feel as a good hat but I get to show that I still have a full head of hair. Bonus that it covers part of my fivehead.

[@paolomazzilli]

I no longer have any doubts about it. Matthew is my favorite player

[@jjbudinski8486]

If you haven't yet listened to it check out A&A, Matthew is solid throughout but around episodes 130-ish on he had some really great moments.

[@TheLibGamer]

I didn't think temp HP stacked... so do the temp HP that Buggels gets from the amped cantrips only last a round?

[@iocaneaddict5961]

I LOVE all Glass Cannon videos!

[@PaulSpurgeon]

Kate's audible exasperation at Sydney's perfect vision was hilarious.

[@chance9512]

Calling it now, matthew is going to rubber band shoot a GCN sweatband into the crowd at some point.

[@paralysekid]

Please look up the "interact" action in the remaster (Player Core pg. 268). It has been changed to include the "swap" sub-action which says "Swapping allows you to put away one item and draw another in the same action (such as putting away a dagger and drawing a mace)". Only saying this so that Talitha doesn't have to waste any more actions switching between rapier and crossbow.

[@WarseerDarkKnight]

Is there a way to double thumbs up this episode? You all are just fantastic!

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thanks!

[@ZeroScore]

I haven't commented on the fashion in a few weeks so Sydney had to come in HOT with the corset cape combo to get me back on track. I think Troy is just jealous that his closet is only full of hoodies and hats like some kind of tabletop Zuckerberg.

[@Humongeloid]

I'm really glad I watched this one. Knowing what the Treez Nuts actually looked like made for no unpleasant imagery. I can safely listen to it later and not be horrified.

[@AJBernard]

Someday I want to take Troy’s class on how to be the most amazing GM ever. Dude… wow.

[@myownbiggestfan]

I appreciate you letting us know that Foundry is a one time payment. The reason I don't check things out most of the time is that I am sick of subscription model. That's important info.

[@GooberNutt]

A Foundry license is a one-time payment. You still need to pay for a hosting service (Forge is probably the most popular). You can also self-host (which is free), but it requires some technical setup on the front-end.

[@upsidely2189]

Eric's gonna be busy.

[@seandirt3997]

Enough of this Joe pre rest slander. When she got to the top of the stairs he said okay great let's rest and Kate said "just a little bit more"

[@Necrotoxin44]

Definitely worth glancing at how spell components work in the remaster. They've basically been gotten rid of, and it's now assumed that every spell is verbal and somatic unless it has a trait called 'Subtle', or something like that?

[@anorak78]

This was a fun session!

[@imjordanhanzon]

Holy shit, that crit was so cool & the narration was AMAZING.

[@jayteamoriarty-writer7534]

Yes, Jo! Take your Emerald Spire! And please please please find budget.

[@ArticleNoun]

Great episode. Can’t wait for the next one!!!

[@leomentos]

Kate needs to have a flashing neon sign for troy and Joe so that they remember that FLURRY OF BLOWS IS ONE ACTION Every combat they always forget and try to pull her up on her action economy🤦

[@davidk8699]

Take cover would have worked too. You can press yourselves against a wall to minimize exposure - +2 to AC. Its a useful defensive option. All just for reference :)

[@davidk8699]

Oh no - they forgot the flat checks on the spells cast at the guy in the sky. Next time?

[@jayhendrick834]

I'll admit...when Skid first showed the cape...I looked it up trying to find it so yeah. I want a Buggles Cape.

[@danielarmstrong7944]

Sydney, look at Horizon Thunder sphere. It's not in the remaster, but it's in Secrets of Magic, which should still be allowed since the whole Magus class is from SoM. It's not quite as good as shocking grasp, but it's an attack roll, it can be used at range and it's only slightly less damage on the 2 action cast than shocking grasp.

[@upsidely2189]

If it hasn't had an official replacement in Core, it's perfectly legal. Paizo even stated you could still choose Produce Flame over Ignition despite the latter being the remastered themetical equivalent spell. Legacy content is still usable, for the most part.

[@lavishcole]

I'm torn between Joe "cheese roll" O'Brien Or Joe "take a peek" O'Brien

[@elfinfluff]

Syndey's underbust corset looked weird until I saw she had on one (1) die earring. Then the ensemble all came together.

[@_Kasziver_]

"are they true jorts or are they cutoffs". jorts being cut is a necessary part of them being jorts

[@redenergi]

Kate the question you're looking for is "What's this creatures deal?"

[@michaelmunsey5660]

Thanks Skid for name-dropping Jenny’s First Year Latin. I took Latin for four years in high school and used that textbook series. Sydney is right in that Latin has not changed (it’s a static language but it’s still used in a lot of contexts in our society) but the method of teaching Latin has changed. There’s been a transition from grammar translation to the reading method. I taught Latin for eleven years and used the Cambridge Latin Course which uses the reading method.

[@TheJimtopia]

Boom-shakes Lake!

[@donc7664]

I hope Skid's "icy hot" spell makes it to the GCN RPG

[@coreyrobinson117]

The map from this ep shows a vas deferens between FoundryVTT and what was used before. Edit: should have finished the ep before commenting. Troy busted out a vas deferens zinger near the end.

[@missingunknown6277]

Sydney should take Horizon Thunder Sphere! It's pretty busted for a lvl1 spell.

[@LightningRaven42]

And very versatile as well, since you can pump up extra action on those combats where fights start far apart (you won't want to engage first) or sneak enemies (like this one), for some guaranteed damage. Or just use the quick 2-action version on spell strike. Win-Win.

[@b.jacobtomko6794]

What module puts the swirling ghosts around Rameus while he's frightened? That's awesome.

[@gangrel7674]

I'm finally caught up and am sad I need to wait between episodes now. lol

[@the8bitdeity]

Baby Billy Bible Bonkers!

[@luc1829]

Holy crap. Thank. You. Tyler. clutch

[@VanillaNukaCola]

the phrase "shave those balls" could apply to the bant, or the combat, or just take it as general life advice, you are welcome.

[@Krayne95]

Kate's waterskin drinking was uh...hmmm....

[@jrlonergan6773]

Are we just gonna skip over the fact that Troy refers to his wedding tackle as "gorilla salad"

[@ByConn]

Joe, I hope you're getting royalties from the bird shirt sales!

[@freezinpee91]

I know you can be prone and take cover from ranged attacks. +4 to account for the minus 2

[@clintono]

Asta - Cantrip: Electric Arc; Level 1: Thunderstrike

[@IskarJarek]

troy must of thought he was david foster wallace in the 90s, also gcn wristband might be cool.

[@peterdavies6660]

Party skipped over the dark assumption that comes from finding healing potions amongst the vivisection gear. You don’t need healing potions if you’re dissecting corpses…

[@BarklandaOnline]

Surprised that Joe didn't stick to this as well... but the silence really should only go for one more round... It should follow the same rules for every other fam crit/fumble that I think so far has always counted the round it happens as the first round regardless if it affects a multiple attack penalty or not

[@andrewjones3631]

Is the campaign 1 - giant slayer only available by audio or is there somewhere i can watch it with video as well?

[@DraconianMeasures]

audio only

[@snuzzlebumble]

Kate and Joe crushed that RPing

[@luc1829]

Well done Skid. I was checking my tabs going "what the heck is playing in the background??"

[@NerdishNature]

Wait. That’s SW now 😂😂😂❤

[@simmonslucas]

Kate is the new Joe! What is going on...?

[@xAverytheRedx]

Surprised Kate didn't say "Overalls" or "Fully Rigged Rave Onesie" for the bant.

[@upsidely2189]

Not even one mention of laser clothes!

[@pan2990]

Treesticles

[@SurfRlyeh]

Hope those loins are girded because the GCN is dropping a supersize jawn for the unwashed heathens of the Naish this week. Bad dreams! New triceps! Swole monks! Tree nuts! Fantasy's weirdest fertility specialist! Concealment priority has been resolved, but will the dice cooperate for Kate? Will Troy's streak of wardrobe commentary continue? The dice are cruel and the fumbonis are fresh. God bless the Glass Cannon Network and have mercy on our souls.

[@tehnless]

isn't zeph part elf, can't she see in dim light?

[@BlueSapphyre]

Yes, but the concealment is from the Looksee Man's ability.

[@lorenzovaletti4951]

That PERFECT music drop by Skid was legendary!! xD

[@mattrivera9210]

Matty Caps should have gotten a cap

This is buggle's show. Everyone else is just a witness. At least, that's what it's like when he unleashes this inner beast.

[@aaronh.2496]

Felt like I had to comment based on my name. Troy needs to bring the bandana back.

[@MrBudNess]

GORILLA SALAD!! 😂

[@alltradesjack502]

This was Syndey's game 💯 the fit, the roleplay, not so much the roles, but in every other way, slay!

[@DaSkwire]

1:04:55 Lucky the fumble wasn't D4+1 rounds otherwise Spidey would have had to... ...take the Fifth 😎

[@ninjunc]

So why does Mathew get to keep his Apple logo uncovered, but everyone else has covered theirs (and Joe covered his Razer logo)? Is he getting secret Mac money on the side like Skid's cape money?

[@TheGlassCannon]

He's in the pocket of Big Tech!

[@jonathon5075]

Ooooh... math

Comments for the Algorithm Gods.

[@ArkTangentStudios]

Leave it to Pathfinder to reduce "mysterious, magical, superhuman strength" to "you now do bonus bleed damage or push back enemies".
