Quick takes
Episode 30 “I Can Be a Thousand Ball Bearings”
- first not is I thought I named this episode “Oh, to be a Thousand Ball Bearings” but oh well
- Starting off strong with swamp ass
- Bret’s a terrible clapper
- I hate roll 20. I keep trying to use it and it just doesn’t work for me.
- Bret’s quiet but oh well.
- My Dming the combat is off a little because I was trying to get roll 20 to work for me and the tokens were not complying.
- Referencing Benjy for the first time in forever
- Bret’s gone for like ten minutes. So we reference “Isaac’s rule” which is when a player takes longer than like 3-4 minutes to pick what they do in combat their character takes the Dodge action.
- If you can’t plan out your next move during everyone’s else’s turn and update as needed then you’re slowing down the session.
- Unless you’re a new player then it’s understandable it’ll take you some time to adjust and learn. Or if you’re playing a completely new class to you and just haven’t adjusted yet.
- “Why is there a giant dragon on the map.
- As always I zone out while listening to our combat. So don’t expect too many notes on it haha.
- Just for kicks and giggles
- Haskell just eviscerating the acolyte. And they explode in a rainbow sparkle
- Jacque used to have the quietest audio. Now bret does. Oh how the turns tabled.
- Gideons warhammer cutting things clean through is one of my favorite random things
- “TWENTY FOR THE SNEAK ATTACK DAMAGE. This is what I do” “you went from excited to just ehh this is what I do so quickly it’s crazy”
- Gideon can leap over a dinosaurs tail but not get away from a grenade explosion
- Bret chasing the acolytes down and just ignoring initiative order.
- Things move when you crit fail
- Don’t eat popcorn while recording audio
- “They’re lovers” “oh can we let ‘em go?” “NO”
- The whole metagaming attacking stun one or not scene is fun
- Whales from the grave
- Bret rolling random 100 dice
- Haskell finally after 30 episodes gritting with the Rainbow rapier I gave them episode 1
- A lot of poop/butt humor this episode
- “For half a second Gideon thinks haskell turned into a thousand ball bearings”. “And then sunshine at night attacks gideon”. This whole sequence was amazing
- We all started coughing and dying while laughing so hard.
- I haven’t played destiny in years. But that game had a large impact on me and I love the characters and play style. Sad it went the way it did.
- Me Rolling a Critical on the wizards attack and just sitting there like. This is gonna kill someone. And im just sitting still. Thank god for Gideons Glucose guardian for buying him Adamantin armor.
- Bret talking to his wife. I’ve only met Sayde once. And don’t think we even talked. Who knows what she thinks of bret and me haha.
- “Welcome to Obott, we have chickens”
- “Don’t be judgy”
- Gotta be prepared
- “Gideon punches sunshine”
- It’s Breet. Not Brett or Bret. Then I break into story time
- God the innkeeper interaction.
- 10 o’clock is later than I usually stay up.
- I’m eating so much this session. Opening a large bag of popcorn is a bad idea
- Town activities.
- Npcs: Medalia. Leaj. Mono. Toby Tom
- Bret’s name in roll 20 was still Theren. And then as if channeling the rogue Sunshine at Night steals a chicken
- He is a cat
- “I leave the chicken in his bed. He wakes up and there’s a dead chicken on his pillow”
- Which town truly has the most chickens.
- Mono mono mono
- The bad guy from the fifth element.
- Blanket the blood splitter dragon
- My random tables are quite chaotic and o never know. Somehow I must have cut what we rolled after Haskell’s nat 20 on one table. Then we rolled a 49 on my large encounter.
- We run into the Fjorbs group from our text based in the discord.
- We will never know what happened to the ball bearings.
- Not all our episodes have had haskell. One of them Jacque was unable to play. Back at like episode 11 or so
- Who was the worse influence? Theren or Haskell?
- Zane’s inner voice is horrible
