First episode of new DM Acq. Inq was better than the last two episodes of Perkins led games imo. The new guy came out swinging and won me over. Having a bunch of guests was fun too. Looking forward to more.
The New Guy (Jeremy's going to have to earn his real name) was pretty good.
He's proven himself vulnerable to that Pat Rothfuss BS, but Pat did make a convincing argument for it.
Pat Rothfuss is a good example of why Charisma shouldn't be a dump stat.
In Jeremy’s defense he didn’t just capitulate to the ol’ Patrick Rothfuss BS, he gave inspiration because Viari leapt off a skyscraper, caught a flying spy construct*, and then used an immovable rod as a trapeze to “kill it like a chicken” hanging upside down from his knees in midair. That’s cool AF, and a great way to show off my second favorite new mechanic from 5e.
Also Jeremy’s been working at WOTC for 11 years, is the lead rules designer for 5e, and gave the keynote speech at that PAX. That’s not “the new guy” that’s “Mr. Crawford, sir” to you. Obviously he and I are on a first name basis because I cornered him at PAX and we both gushed about our love/hate relationship with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
*with just the tiniest bit of help from Ms Walnut Dankgrass** and Evelyn.
** Walnut probably would have caught the damn thing on her own, but on your annual review you have to be making those power plays.
Kthriss says, "[You're] familiar with a shadow of a thing potentially being as critical as the entirety of the thing" then Rosie asks to look at the Ur, touches it, and Jerry says, "You don't think it's an object" and Rosie replies as if she's had a great revelation. I can't tell if she's kidding to placate Kthriss or not. What am I missing to understand her response in this exchange? https://youtu.be/-4PNnAaYIaU?t=3025
I’ll be honest: they may as well be playing Mage: the Awakening at this point. I couldn’t follow along. It feels as though the game has slipped into Jack Vance’s The Men Return territory where action and consequence are completely divorced: “causality” is simply word dressing for Jerry’s nonstop metaphor. That may be his intent. Regardless my interest in the game has waned.
I watched the c team pretty religiously until the end of my master's/ starting a new job/ moving house happened within the same two weeks. This was summer of last year and I simply couldn't keep up with the length of the episodes.
The last thing I remember is
There was a flash forward where walnut and bard lady were getting married but then it went back to normal time where donnar cracked a joke like "lol what do you think is going to happen you'll get married and live happily ever after??"
I would love to start catching up but it's been nearly a year and I've no idea what season that was. I'm worried to guess in case I spoiler everything. Any insights to what season that was would be wonderful.
I think that was the Season 2 opening episode. Hold up a minute, I'll check.

I think Crawford's done a great job, really. I've also loved Xavier Woods basically becoming a regular part of the crew. He does a lot of creative stuff but without the undercurrent of "I'm trying to slip one past the DM" that Rothfuss has.
The good news is, Chris's new show, D&D Presnets: T.O.R.C.H., just had its first episode at PAX East. Pretty much the perfect time to jump on board a new show like this. I don't think it's up on youtube yet, but I'm sure it's somewhere in the PAX and DND twitch channel archives.

All kinds of spoilers in here for seasons 1 through 3, but super-fan and sometimes K'Thriss cosplayer Robin Childs spent the last several months painstakingly animating a video to go with a C-Team song by Bentoma, and just released it today.

That sounds correct!!
Thank you so much I really appreciate it!!!!
I just watched the episode where Chris left for good, and I started tearing up.
I'm willing to give the new guy his shot, but I'll really miss Chris
Chris has just been the voice of D&D for me, and I will miss him
