That final fight was .. really anticlimatic, but the character work on Duck and Ned were great, lots of good interactions.
I hated everything about the Aubrey stuff and it was really hard for me to listen to someone roleplaying a teenager wanted to leave home to be a stage magician and being sad their parents didn't support it as something I should relateable and not incredibly silly within the realm of our world and not some high fantasy universe.
I don't think this particular system lends itself well to entertaining fights from a listener perspective, since a lot of the rules are built around how fragile the PCs are and using luck dice to stave off death and I think they are ignoring luck completely and also none of those three characters will die prematurely.

I think I am liking things in amnesty more, but yes I thought it was hilarious/sad that they tried to sell her going out to be a...stage magician seriously.
I love how they retired the David Sims Grew Up In England bit but they also recorded like 6 months of episodes beforehand so it’ll still be here forever.

The final fight going the way it did seemed down to those absurdly good rolls they were getting. Like geeze, their luck was off the charts during that scene.
I really need to know if Jack de Quidt had the whole "two Hitchcocks" thing planned in advance or came up with it on the spot, because that shit is perfect
the cherry on top of each one teaches a different half of the school just slots in perfectly, he had to have that from the jump
I really like amnesty, but without starting up the whole Travis thing, the character itself makes no sense
She's a tough goth fire magician who.... literally just starts giggling when she sees a fluffy cat?
Or nearly gets everyone killed because she wants to touch the shiny thing?
He's playing her like she's 6, and it's really really unnerving
The key is to ignore what Travis says the character is, and instead recognize that she's a theater kid pretending to be a goth

I think he had it planned because there's no way you can just pull that out without having discussed it with your gm at the very least!!
most definitely
an on-the-spot "uh......... I'm actually playing brothers" feels like the most calvin of balls for a player to pull in your tabletop game, let alone your popular actual play
From today’s all systems goku, Dan is gonna have some extra time after their live show and is probably gonna spend it at anime expo.
If this whole thing ends with Dan being The Big Anime Fan I am going to laugh so hard.

This is also a thing that is bothering me a little with Marielda, with Audrey/Aubrey
besides having the same name, these characters are played too cutely for my liking and feel more like an assemblage of quirks than a person to me
this turned me off of marielda too
but then i also wasn't the biggest fan of how they were playing their twilight mirage character either? i might just not be the biggest fan of andi's characters. different strokes! though i can't recall disliking anything they did in the C/W faction game

When they got to the "describe your spaceship" part and Jack pipes up with, "it should look like a sailboat" is when I knew that Twilight Mirage was Not For Me.
Each of the players on FatT have their own sort of personal aesthetic they bring to the show, and I look at what they bring in two flavors: the ideas they bring to the world, and the ideas they bring to how they play their character
like Janine, I like what she brings to the worlds, but I don't especially love how she plays her characters, same with Andi
Ali and Keith are sort of the opposite for me, I like their characterizations but not so much what they do for worldbuilding
and then I am all-in on Jack and Art's particular brands of bullshit, at all times

See I was set with that
But I feel like recently she's actually being played like a VERY small child
like an elementary school aged kid
And its really weirding me out
Honestly, theatre kids and small children aren't all that different

Once I realized the theatre kid thing, I realized that I knew someone who is exactly Travis' character.
Like, bubbly and kind of ditzy, but also I met her while doing a production of Titus Andronicus so she had her hair dyed black and was wearing a leather jacket every day.

It'd be really interesting to me if they ended up framing Audrey as kind of a spoiled kid who made a bad decision, abandoning her future to do something really dumb and thinking of herself as this persecuted victim with parents who don't understand when she isn't, but I'm positive that won't happen.
if my kid told me they were running away to be a street magician I don't know what I'd do. Probably hold my head in my hands and just endlessly sigh until i was a withered husk that would then blow away into dust.
But I also think that acting like a parent saying "hey that's dangerous and risky for a number of reasons" should not be portrayed as a crazy or oppressive thing to say

when travis was like i feel like you're disappointed in me I wanted Griffin-mom to be like "oh honey...we are"
Honestly if a kid I was guardian over showed interest in street magic, I'd support them. Not running away--being successful at street magic requires a lot of hard work, study, and practice and if they're my kid I want them to have a good roof over their head and proper nutrition and shit. I'd definitely buy them books and give them plenty of opportunity and encouragement to practice and shit, though.

I'd be so excited if I had a kid who was interested in stage magic, I love magic.
There's really nothing in the scene that implies her parents aren't supportive of her interests, they just don't want her to run away and literally become a homeless teen trying to do street magic and it feels like we're supposed to relate to her over it.

the cherry on top of each one teaches a different half of the school just slots in perfectly, he had to have that from the jump
The part that really gets me is how the reveal of the twins is used as a cool reveal at the end of the episode where Jack pulls a fast one to gain an advantage, but then five minutes into the next episode he basically trips on his face and completely wastes the opportunity.
I'm trying to catch up on TAZ, and while I generally have a lot of patience for Travis, don't mind him on MBMBAM (and quite liked him on the show!), and acknowledge his Twitter game isn't for me but someone out there gets something from it
I am having a real rough time continuing because his character bothers me so much
I did not have this issue with Magnus, ever! It sucks! I'm hoping these are just first arc growing pains but...

I can't find it on the schedule, though often the event schedule isn't finalized until like the day before the convention.
But considering it starts Wednesday that's pretty soon.
I believe it might not be officially part of AX, just a side thing next door, as I don't believe you need an AX badge to get in
