TXC2: CONTACT
TehAmelie:
BraveOthello: Excited to see what kind of Cleric we end up with
Juliamon: *squint* this isn't the song it says it is
TXC2: oh yeah it isn't
BraveOthello: Weird
TehAmelie: is this Esoteric Ebb tied to Perfect Tides you think?
BraveOthello: @TehAmelie No it's because of *spoilers*
TXC2: now the song title might be right?
TXC2: Here we GO!
chaos5896: And so it begins!
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm interested to see what they think of this
TXC2: Hello Cori and Cameron
kingandcommoner: mic
chaos5896: Pauuuuuuper
TheAinMAP: Hello.
Gekyouryuu: hi Cori and Cam
GhostValv: gas leak (positive)
BraveOthello: I mean this is the gas leak stream then, which is why I love it
Gekyouryuu: Cam, I don't know if you saw it in chat during GMMB, but I saw this on Tumblr and thought of you: "My T-shirt with the entire text of Borges' theoretical Library of Babel is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt, somewhere."
TXC2: y'all are just weird (affectionate)
Azralorne: This is why i refuse to take all the blame of the chaos that was our horse clubs!!
EvilBadman: I was saying Hourse-urns
Azralorne: 😂😂😂
chaos5896: Deep quotes, dude
TXC2: "we still talk about you" I whisper, to CDHC's corpse

Marvoleath: We have "hit the table and the scissors will talk"
Gekyouryuu: rename stream: Can't Talk About "Can't Draw Horses Club" Club
TehAmelie: i think there's still some jokes about beating the dead horse left
BraveOthello: I miss Horse Club. I only was around for the end essentially but I came to love the weirdness and saying "yes" to art ideas
Thefluffiestguineapig:
Hitting a dead drawing? 
chaos5896: Can we get a leg count?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Depends on the species probably
TheMerricat: "Millipedes and centipedes are both long, multi-legged arthropods, but they are very different. Millipedes have round bodies, two sets of legs per body segment, move slowly, and eat dead plants. Centipedes have flat bodies, one set of legs per segment, run fast, and use venom to hunt live prey."
dolphgrim: Infinite leg day
SirSamVimes: centipedes are venomous? +1 to the list of reasons they are horrifying hunters (laudatory)
TheMerricat: Centipede was also a bitching arcade game back in the day.
TXC2: how venomous, and to whom though?
ThanhtTheBoss: I would prefer the things they are there to eat.

Thefluffiestguineapig: I prefer spiders
TehAmelie: you know centipedes use legs for everything? pseudo-head? legs. venom stinger? mutated leg. i think even their jaw is legs
MWGNZ: 'little huntsman' means something different in aus
Thefluffiestguineapig: @MWGNZ Often way less "little"
Marvoleath: Spiders are apparently great at pattern recognition
TXC2: Marvoleath makes sense, helps with the webs
EvilBadman: The abby painting is summoning or breeding them
dolphgrim: The other day, I watched a wolf spider kick a rollypolly in ball form to see if it was alive.
dolphgrim: It was not alive.
MWGNZ: thats how soccer starts
dolphgrim: But it was terrifying
Thefluffiestguineapig: That actually sounds neat to see
chaos5896: Appendage ball?
TheAinMAP:
dolphgrim: Spiders have sticky feet. 🤷
MWGNZ: web slinging
TXC2:
no goalies, just like Brazil 
ArtDecoSunburn: In my museum we have in a vial one of the spiders sent into space in the 1970s to test web spinning in microgravity.
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@TXC2 
Vinewood_OG:
I don't even want to ask about "pickle" ball Kapp 
Juliamon: Last night I spent five minutes sitting up in bed trying to coax a spider to not hide under my legs (it really wanted to be under my legs, I just wanted to sleep)
TehAmelie: anyone read this Bilal fake-photobook comic about the future of football?

Bruceski: The Aztec empire did not offer a sufficient bribe to FIFA to be recognized
Vinewood_OG: Is it really a sport without a halftime show?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Then clearly lacrosse isn't a sport either
TheMerricat: I like the fact that Badminton is named literally after Duke of Beaufort's Badminton House in Gloucestershire
Thefluffiestguineapig: I am very much kidding
TehAmelie: it has rocket legs and behavioral implants and the death of the sport. but then people reinvent it by kicking some rocks
TXC2: is it even really a sport if it governing body isn't corrupt?
chaos5896: @Bruceski o7
TXC2: !patreon
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig We need to bring back Chunky from the Mississippian culture.
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@ArtDecoSunburn 
Oh that joke was for 6 of us but I laughed
BraveOthello: Go dingle the bingle if you haven't chat
Marvoleath: There were news?!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Hi @LoadingReadyRun Cam and Cori! Is this game a sequel to Everyday Wax?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I genuinely sometimes do that if I'm in a studying hole, just have the VOD playlists on
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig I appreciate that. We can salute the mounds of Ballplay, Alabama.
NapalmSideburns: Is that a threat or a promise?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Then roadtrip to some of the ones in my region in Illinois and Ohio. Serpent Mound is neat

poipal: There's a very strangely presented "check your privilege" scene
SirSamVimes: my partner told me about the demo of this game and that its primary influences were "planescape torment, disco elysium, discworld"
Bruceski: Everybody who compares a game to Dark Souls needs to play a second game
SirSamVimes: then when I regained consciousness I was in the character character for the demo
Wolfstrike_NL: So everyone is irish?
ArtDecoSunburn: @SirSamVimes So two discs and a plane?
SirSamVimes: technically planescape is many planes
TehAmelie: i'm fine with the legacy of Disco Elysium being "games can have very strong writing"
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig That's on my list next time I do a road trip in that part of the world. Though nothing beats Cahokia.
EvilBadman: Yes, it was excel
NapalmSideburns: I'm watching from the inside of my eyelids, send help
ArtDecoSunburn: @SirSamVimes Good point. And lots of doors, right?
poipal: It's okay I'm watching this in a cinema
JadedCynic:
glorious 1440p on 19" babeee 
SirSamVimes: @ArtDecoSunburn an entire city of them (but in a more weird way than most cities being full of doors)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn It is interesting because it is slightly more intact than Cahokia relatively speaking (fuck white people and their instinct to destroy things to """develop it""""") so that is fascinating especially to compare to stuff out west
ArtDecoSunburn: @NapalmSideburns Blink twice if you need help.
EvilBadman: This is main screen content, but I do have the Odyssey running off a tiger electronics screen
dolphgrim: What if I am watching from a string of e. Coli bacterial cells? I'm not, but what if?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I have watched reversed movies at the drive in.
TehAmelie: what i liked in The Expanse was screens being thrown around and left on the ground like newspapers.

TXC2: so we're a 40 year old in the US army?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig You might like a book from a few years ago by Whitney Martinko about settlers encountering the mounds in Ohio. Really good history.
pawssumplace: Doot
thedepthandbreadthofseth:
?
pawssumplace: Yaaaas
TehAmelie: jeez i'm already struggling not to run off and buy this
ArtDecoSunburn: @TehAmelie "Talking Simulator -- Driver of Impulse Purchases."
SirSamVimes: the icons of the stats would make sick tattoos
TehAmelie: so, max Wis, lots of Str, get a mace and start swinging? that's how clerics do right
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn I think my great uncle was probably one of the amateurs who contributed some to that (his wife wanted to be a pastor's wife then hated being a pastor's wife because of all kinds of things) but anyways, focusing on the game!!
pawssumplace: Isn't that twitch generally
TXC2: or LRR generally
30teracyte: yes it's absolutely wearing that inspiration on its sleeve
ContingentCat: @ArtDecoSunburn I've yet to regret a talking sim impulse purchase though so eh
TXC2: there's at least 4 video games I brought from watching LRR play them over the years, 3 of them by Cameron
pawssumplace: Are the seagull noises from the game?
SirSamVimes: I respect games that wear their influences in their sleeves as long as they understand why and how those influences do what they do
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Interesting.
pawssumplace: I'm unkept
TehAmelie: do we wanna be Evrart Claire?
ArtDecoSunburn: @SirSamVimes Exactly. Embrace your influences, but don't mindlessly ape. Remix and transform.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 2 games I got influenced by a couple people that I for sure know of, I would need to think hard about others but both were absolutely by Heather and Adam. Other games I WANT but don't own a PC so can't play
TXC2:
"just run away ,dummy" 
SirSamVimes: the role sections of the stats are really funny
ContingentCat: Identity theft isn't a joke game
EvilBadman: So low charisma?
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig yeah, no PC is quite the barrier, same with me and a PS4 & Bloodbourne
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 So Cam and Cori have also influenced me and other LRRsmens have influenced me to put things on my wish list but I won't ever purchase
pawssumplace: Never say never
ArtDecoSunburn: I remember my first experience as a "caster" character -- playing the Wizard or Elf in Hero Quest as a kid, where spells were cards
SirSamVimes: me irl
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ah, well this is me
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SirSamVimes Same friend
Thefluffiestguineapig:
ThanhtTheBoss:
I've really wanted to watch somebody play this after I've finished it.

EvilBadman: is it pro or con dwarf
TXC2: dwarfagander
pawssumplace: I read the encyclopedia as a kid
Marvoleath: Rock *and* stone
n_mandrag: The strive to undermine the current regime
pawssumplace: Wiki was in a book when I was small
pawssumplace: *waves cane*
ContingentCat: ouch
TXC2:
I read an out of date encyclopedia, learned history until it stopped in 1985 
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@TXC2 I read a Star Wars EU encyclopedia does that count 
TehAmelie: a sorcerer can be a cleric too
pawssumplace: Just keep in mind many science bits will be painfully out of date
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie Depends on the cleric's domain and sorcerer's focus I guess
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig lets say yes for fun
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 (Oh I know you absolutely can do it, I've seen that multi-class done and it is MAXIMUM CHAOS, wild magic sorcerer is nonsense paired with basically anything)
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Ha. I think I bought that the week before the Disney purchase when the EU was scrapped. It's a space atlas frozen in 2012.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Swang sounds like what you roll for stripping charisma checks
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn There were a couple
Thefluffiestguineapig: I was a very lonely child
ArtDecoSunburn: @pawssumplace In my fifth grade classroom was a text book that noted that "one day, man may walk on the Moon."
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn 0.o
Thefluffiestguineapig: That text book sure was a whole thing
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig You're never alone if you have a book!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Having fun isn't hard if you've got a library card!
TXC2: boo, down with two party systems
Thefluffiestguineapig: IRL political affiliation: socialist democrat and learning to shut up about it
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 BIG SAME
ContingentCat: wow
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I'm a Conservative Socialist Anarcho-Speghetti Monsterian.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Actually I'm apolitical should be an automatic failure
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig I was the kid who made sure the pants my parents bought me had pockets deep enough to carry a paperback around. I remember lugging the omnibus "The Once and Future King" around third grade.
TehAmelie: i'm a materialist humanist.
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth But where do you stand on the local school referendum?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TehAmelie well that's kinda boring.
TehAmelie: politics ought to be kind of boring
EvilBadman: She shook your all knight long
ContingentCat: your whole what?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn I read the Timothy Zahn books around that time plus the Mistborn books later. Then in middle school wanna know how many friends you make lugging around the tome of all the Sherlock Holmes stories? Including your teachers?
ThanhtTheBoss: If memory is correct, you will probably pronounce everything 'wrong' since the creator isn't from UK/US/CAN etc
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @ArtDecoSunburn usually in the back, beehind the majorettes.
ArtDecoSunburn: @TehAmelie Policy ought to, at any rate. Give me dry competence Al Gore over "have a beer with" George W. Bush.
TehAmelie: quite
Thefluffiestguineapig: @thedepthandbreadthofseth A wet lady gave you a sword somehow makes you worthy to rule?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn YES PLEASE
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth Ha! Now hustle that xylophone off the field!
TXC2:
Thefluffiestguineapig I mean, that would make me FEEL like I had the power to rule
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig It was a very compelling damp sword.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 (I was trying to make a badly rephrased Monty Python holy grail joke)
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig oh I know
Piratical_tendancies: thats a lot of.. apples?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Piratical_tendancies Matt Damon incoming as an NPC?
ThanhtTheBoss: @Piratical_tendancies it is a lot of ... apples...
TehAmelie: this room does immediately feel very Planescape Torment
Thefluffiestguineapig: Having never played this game: big Garden of Eden vibes
Kaaannaaa: haha, literally just joined and was about to ask if it was made by the DE folks
SirSamVimes: it's a circular mortuary with stone slabs. it is 100% intentionally evoking planescape nostalgia
TXC2: was planescape also based on D&D? (I assume 3rd ed)
Kaaannaaa: yes
SirSamVimes: @TXC2 yup
TXC2: ok, that's chat
ThanhtTheBoss: For some reason I thought Planescape was 2A
SirSamVimes: having the clickable lore tidbits be passive stat checks is such a good idea that I can't believe I haven't seen other games do it
TXC2: ThanhtTheBoss it could be either, I just assumed 3rd 'cause of the time it came out
BlueChloroplast: I started planescape torment but never got out of the mortuary
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wasn't another game being advertised on the menu screen called "Esoteric ________" something related to Lovecraft?
Thefluffiestguineapig: OOF
SirSamVimes: I do have vague memories of planescape having thac0, but I could be conflating with bg1/2
Thefluffiestguineapig: To quote Diogenes while presenting a plucked chicken "Behold a man"
ThanhtTheBoss: Oh god, not thac0. It has been so long, yet it still haunts me with unnecessary complexity
EvilBadman: Triflin' ass ebb
BlueChloroplast: Ewww
Thefluffiestguineapig: So smelling slightly of piss?
ThanhtTheBoss: @EvilBadman No, the ebb is cool man. It's like a wave. Let's surf it.
Invitare: That's why Count Binface has the best policies of all politicians in this country
TXC2:
the Themes might be the cleanest river in Britain these days
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Relatively
TXC2: *Thames
jamesinor: Esoteric Ebb kinda sounds like a 1950's Marvel Hero
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig oh yes very much relatively
EvilBadman: Add an apple, find a Korok
ThanhtTheBoss: I wish this was voice acted. And don't you mean voice actor? Isn't your inner monologue and one voiced part all one person?
BraveOthello: "Never ever ever baby!"
SirSamVimes: this game has a LOT of words and would be incredibly expensive to VA it all
ThanhtTheBoss: Prayer is contemplation?
SirSamVimes: in my dream world the stats would all be voiced by jonny simms though
TehAmelie: there's the main voice guy who does like half of all the lines, but a few others come into Harry's internal monologue
A_Dub888: what’s up gamers! What level of esoteric are we?
ThanhtTheBoss: @SirSamVimes Yeah, I've read most of it aloud. That was a poor choice.

jamesinor: Shield of Faith? No no, I learned Shed of Faith... It's a mobile shed
kusinohki: meows - what did I miss?

SirSamVimes: @ThanhtTheBoss no but I love reading absolutely inordinate amounts of words
TXC2: hello kusinohki you missed character cration
TXC2:
Thefluffiestguineapig yeap, don't like that I hear that one
jamesinor: It described the zombie as lookin indecisive... Well, it can't decide if it's dead or not, sooooooooooo
kusinohki: Shred of Faith - aka Amazing Grace meets rock...
jamesinor: Shredded Wheat of Faith - Part of a religiously balanced breakfast
TXC2:
isn't that just Quaker oats?
kusinohki: shredded wheat communion - This is my body, shredded for you...
A_Dub888: @Thefluffiestguineapig *CLANG*
jamesinor: @kusinohki I am actually writing a dark comedy right now that does kinda relate to that
jamesinor: @TXC2 Probably Keloggs
TXC2: "this bread is the shreadded, ripped, anabolic, jacked body of Christ...."
jamesinor: Bread of Faith - Communion Wafer
TXC2: jamesinor indeed
jamesinor: Bed of Faith - Religious Hamock
kusinohki: has this been played before or is using a similar system to a previous game? these die rolls look familiar...
jamesinor: Hang on, is this saying that he didn't get revived because his gofundme didn't work???
ThanhtTheBoss: Ugh, I hate how much of a Wisdom player I am.
SirSamVimes: @kusinohki it's vaguely based on D&D
TXC2: kusinohki no, but the game is D&D based, and many have talking about it being a "disco elysium" like
jamesinor: Well, they say you can rest when you're dead... so uh... I guess he can rest?
ArtDecoSunburn: @jamesinor I'd love to see a comedy about the Church of General Mills.
jamesinor: @ArtDecoSunburn It's a dark comedy about the pilgrim's being cannibals. I call it Flesh on Fridays
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wooof
Marvoleath: self employed
jamesinor: Half the chapter titles are name puns for food items
Thefluffiestguineapig: That is a neat way to do this
ArtDecoSunburn: @jamesinor Their powers would be obscurity and twice-daily tides?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh good, that term isn't suspicious at all
jamesinor: @ArtDecoSunburn Exactly, that is absolutely the kind of random powers I would expect from a Great Lakes Avenger
kusinohki: the leg of lamb of god.... why is that now in my head??
SirSamVimes: each character being tied to a stat that you use to behold them is very fun, so you have more insight in characters who your stats are in tune with
jamesinor: You know, I'd love to see this system in a Discworld setting
ArtDecoSunburn: @jamesinor Clever. There was a "Masters of Horror" episode about the Founding Fathers at the Constitutional Convention as secret cannibals. Might give some inspiration.
SirSamVimes: contact mike my love...
Boopity: Yoo who up esotering their ebb?
SirSamVimes: the increasing payoffs for contact mike are the funniest joke in the game
ArtDecoSunburn: @jamesinor "By the Power of Lake Huron!" Their nemesis could be Saint Lawrence Seaway Man, with a French accent.
TXC2: hello Boopity welcome
ThanhtTheBoss: Mmhmm
TehAmelie: ost is Swedish for cheese
jamesinor: @ArtDecoSunburn Then it would turn out in a gritty reboot in the 90's or early 2000's that he's responsible for Lake Superior being all... Lake Superior
Boopity:
@TXC2 
SirSamVimes: man is just steamrolling you
ArdCollider: o7
Thefluffiestguineapig:
TehAmelie: this man is going to talk us to death
ThanhtTheBoss: Ooooh big heal!
ArtDecoSunburn: @jamesinor That's great. Lots of gritty, rundown factory and wharf scenes. Bad flashbacks to the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which both traumatized him and activated his powers.
jamesinor: @ArtDecoSunburn I hate that this seems 100% like an actual character they woud have made
kusinohki: what makes the pocket watch esoteric??
jamesinor: What black forest cake have you been eating???
TehAmelie: the dark arts? no no it's just black mold
ArdCollider: so much black mold a TERF tried to move in and live in it.
SirSamVimes: I love how the game uses real languages as substitutes for fantasy ones. Draconic being latin absolutely fits
TXC2: I would have thought that Draconic was more guttural and odd, like Klingon
TehAmelie: the other day i learned some mushrooms can be poisonous to just a few people. that's got to be the worst way to find out about an allergy
SirSamVimes: oh yeah if you're doing an actual conlang I'd go with something gutteral and staccato (like what ffxiv does)
SirSamVimes: but latin's connotations of empire and age work for an ancient race like that for me
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's valid

TehAmelie: it's just like a stale gingerbread cooki
TehAmelie: e
SirSamVimes: literally the seinfeld bit
EvilBadman: found cake
SirSamVimes: one thing I appreciate about this game
SirSamVimes: when it does referential humour, it doesn't just reference bits, it takes the bit and adapts the entire thing to the game
SirSamVimes: so you can still find humour even if you don't get the reference
Thefluffiestguineapig: You aren't THAT suicidal. Seagulls are one step above pelicans in terms of danger
TehAmelie: may contain traces of cadmium
NapalmSideburns: Bolus

Kanelbulle, bullar is plural

Juliamon: Cardamom is *great* in pastries
SirSamVimes: my workplace recently introduced a cardamom creme brulee and I want to try it
Boopity: Now admittedly, I don't bake a whole lot, but it sounds like such a very foreign pairing to me.
Boopity: I'll have to look into this 👀
ThanhtTheBoss: I've seen Cardamom in Pumpkin Spice blends.
Juliamon: Look into cardamom buns
Boopity:
Thank you for the suggestion That's definitely going in my recipe backlog
TehAmelie: look INSIDE cardamom buns. with your teeth. eat the whole thing!
TehAmelie: that sounded forceful
ThanhtTheBoss: Sounded Enthusiastic to me
Boopity: Me at the dinner table: "Up next, a bit I like to call: my teeth eat the whole thing!"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Boopity That sounds like a horror short where your teeth have mouths
Juliamon: now I'm just bummed that a local farmstand stopped carrying cardamom rusks, they were so good with tea
ghizmou: qwuack
NapalmSideburns: @Boopity And then your teeth open dozens of tiny mouths and eat a plate of spaghetti
ThanhtTheBoss: OMG, we are very stronk sensing

EricTheOrange: can we turn in tare at Fritte in this too?
BusTed: beheld
EricTheOrange: GENTLEMEN! BEHOLD!
ArtDecoSunburn: Of course, seeing bikes here means the economy of this place makes no sense. Bicycles mean interchangeable parts, and factories. And rubber supplies.
EricTheOrange: @ArtDecoSunburn you doubt dwarven ingenuity?
ArtDecoSunburn: @EricTheOrange I doubt their tropical supply chains and ties to plantation economies.
tyrsredritehand: Dwarven mass production?
ArtDecoSunburn: @tyrsredritehand Maybe it they more clearly presented it, like in Arcanum.

ThanhtTheBoss: Nat 1, powerful D&D
EricTheOrange: we are making a great first impression
ThanhtTheBoss: @EricTheOrange Of course we are, look at our fancy hat and scarf.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ThanhtTheBoss That smell of the piss river *nodnod*
Strebenherz: I have not caught all of this game, but I do love that it made STORY with the nat one rather than "FAIL" Fail still made a story
Thefluffiestguineapig: DANG
Invitare: nested like a matryoshka doll :3
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz That is the best way to DM IMO, you take a fail and make story out of it
Strebenherz: @Thefluffiestguineapig exactly that
Strebenherz: like what i'm seeing is there are skill checks with this but the game keeps up the flow quite well
Strebenherz: Tiny Lawyer!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz For example, someone rolls a nat 1 on a stealth check what you do is you tell them the dramatic trip and fall they did right onto their ass in front of who they were trying to avoid
Strebenherz: @Thefluffiestguineapig yeeep
Thefluffiestguineapig: Making a tiny devil a lawful evil lawyer is great
Strebenherz: like you can still story with it or do the thing
Thefluffiestguineapig:
Thefluffiestguineapig:
DAMN
Thefluffiestguineapig: Love the failure explanations
Strebenherz: love the visual of the imp sitting on a pillar just reading
iris_of_ether:
Strebenherz: i'm imagining that being the equivalent of bubble gum coated pennies in the bin
Coloneljesus: oh hell yeah, we're playing DnD?!
Thefluffiestguineapig: bv. ////////////////////////////

Coloneljesus: what build are we running?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Does he have a sugar mama?
invickthus: thassa deep v for that goblin, lotta chest hair out and about.
ContingentCat: Tits up
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ContingentCat Hair tall? Check your nails?
NonchalantAvenger: can u read the text out load and do voices? i wanna tuck myself in to sleep and this seems like a good bedtime story

Strebenherz: how spicy was this burrito
BrowneePointz: Call that a Sa-tan burrito
iris_of_ether: Pepperheads
BrowneePointz: *rimshot*
TehAmelie: i did just see a video of a wizard with an incredibly pointy hat fawning at a spoon of hot sauce
TehAmelie: nothing can go wrong with just powering through the need for sleep
TehAmelie: i have trouble believing not-medieval Norway has a concept of "loitering"
Thefluffiestguineapig: SHIT
TehAmelie:
!
A_Dub888:
Strebenherz: Snell watching you get absolutely crabbed
Thefluffiestguineapig:
HOW 2 3s in a row is improbable
A_Dub888: pweez wet go mistow cwab
Strebenherz:
I love that your goblin friend watched you get absolutely crabbed and just let it happen
Strebenherz: but to be fair you just pet a human sized crab
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz This goblin seems to let other people do things and either blame them or take credit
Strebenherz: also true
A_Dub888: @Thefluffiestguineapig more improbable than failing to roll a six on a d6 twelve times in a row?
11 raiders from Lily_Tiger have joined!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Welcome raiders!
Lily_Tiger:
Hello lovelies!! 
TehAmelie: ahoy
Thefluffiestguineapig: @A_Dub888 Oh not at all, or some of the coin flip stuff that's happened during Pokemon streams
TehAmelie: so we just got mauled by a crab and then wisely avoided snuggling a griffon
Thefluffiestguineapig: It just always is astounding to see people roll the exact same number over and over on a d20
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie Me being me I wouldn't have tried to pet the crab but 10000000% would have tried to pet the griffon
Thefluffiestguineapig: OH NO
Thefluffiestguineapig: Do you get XP for every certain amount you listen?
ghyllnox: LMAO
Strebenherz: oh no
BusTed: 😤
EvilBadman: a real lay on hands
iris_of_ether:
Thefluffiestguineapig:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Why is he explaining it?
Invitare: Baby don't hurt me
ghyllnox: Baby don't hurt me
RatherLargeToad: Baby don’t hurt me?
Thefluffiestguineapig: No more?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Did the goblin fall asleep?
Thefluffiestguineapig: We haven't heard what your companion is doing in a while
iris_of_ether:
kingandcommoner: Catalus maybe?
sentientwaffle_: Cato the Elder
kingandcommoner: Cato sounds more correct
Thefluffiestguineapig: So wait, if we talk to this guy enough can you get to the next level?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I agree with "nothing is ever truly free"
Gekyouryuu: "why are you good?" "being bad feels bad."
ghyllnox:
Invitare: A laborious way of explaining that morality is a mix of action and intention
Thefluffiestguineapig: And here is the paradox Cameron, also this is the downfall of a lot of the "alignment" systems and why someone like me would have a lot of DM's throw things at me across tables
ghyllnox: i.e. "The developers of this game are mad"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Invitare Deliberately so it seems
Strebenherz: oh damn that's interesting
Thefluffiestguineapig: I was never that lucky Cam
Thefluffiestguineapig: That sounds fascinating

ArdCollider: (I am reading the comic Crowded in TPB format right now and it addresses a lot of these issues as modern satire)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh number one is hilarious
MAPBoardgames: That was touched on in the He Who Fights with Monsters series
Thefluffiestguineapig: "What if you're not smart enough to understand your actions"
HadesLeprechaun: I don't think I've played a TTRPG where people actually got experience per kill since I was in high school. It's always been milestone based since then
Thefluffiestguineapig: Good news my dude! We hear our traits talk to us!
RatherLargeToad: all I know is my gut says “maybe”
Gekyouryuu: my favorite explanation of alignment was "true neutral = ask yourself, what would a bear do?"
couchboyj: If I don't make it through this morality lesson, tell my wife I said "Hello"
Gekyouryuu: it's not necessarily correct, but it was explained to me that way and has stuck with me as a phrase since
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RatherLargeToad I preferred mushier systems where if someone does something bananas that was extremely in character I as a DM would give them some bonus XP for that with set specific points where I would give levels. So I'm incentivizing role play that was creative
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig That seems like an excellent approach.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Gekyouryuu It is a very good phrase but that does bother me. But that's also not quite true tho because as someone who studies animals you see sharks who learn who helps them and will lead them to other sharks trapped in nets? That's altruistic
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn So if, for example, the rogue found the treasure first, searched it for EXACTLY what they wanted and took only that and made the rest of it look untouched they would get some bonus XP depending on the difficulty of that task (if it was magically protected, was the rest of the party RIGHT THERE etc)
TehAmelie: i like to think of druids needing to actively work as an agent of neutrality
TehAmelie: if too many good things happen, gotta start some evil to balance it out
Thefluffiestguineapig: It meant if someone rolled up a selfish character even if you as a player wanted to work together, unless you gave me a character growth or in character reason for it there was likely going to be some discussions
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie For me it depends on the type of druid as well
Thefluffiestguineapig: For example if you have a true neutral circle of the moon druid that isn't going to present the same as a circle of the spores or circle of the land druid
TehAmelie: well yeah
Thefluffiestguineapig: So I don't think starting evil and starting good are necessarily what they would see. I think they would have a side, but they aren't invested in the goings on of other stuff necessarily
TehAmelie: i'm too eepy to think in any detail. . .
TehAmelie: hooray, we're back
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, agreed
Thefluffiestguineapig: I want a system that handles a lot of the stuff so I can facilitate what I want out of the role playing in game
HadesLeprechaun: loved 4e
MAPBoardgames: 4th ed was a very well-developed, open-ended, boardgame.
HadesLeprechaun: I like how it unified all the classes into playing the same way, everyone played 'cards' for their actions, you didn't need to read another 20 pages of rulebook to be a wizard
Gekyouryuu: one of the first campaigns I played in was 4e, playing a busted character the DM had on hand that the rest of the players joked "if [Gek] weren't here, we'd have had to fight that, wouldn't we?"
ghizmou: sorry, I'm classless
TehAmelie: the game wanted us to be Lawful Evil right? i guess it's the basic stance for this job
TehAmelie: ah right
RatherLargeToad: sorry, there was a typo, it’s “Cure Mime”
TehAmelie: Battle Angel Alita had a fun bit with a therapist trying to cure minds with a science fiction device. but it just caused a lot of spontaneous combustion
HadesLeprechaun: has Cori beaten this or just played it previously?
GapFiller: closer to billiards than pinball apparently
TehAmelie: are we multiclassing into MORE Cleric?
HadesLeprechaun: I am only at the end of the first day in this game, but I am most definitely NOT a Cleric, I most certainly a Rogue
HadesLeprechaun: *am most
sentientwaffle_: wtyp!
iris_of_ether:
GapFiller: TapTapConcede Guaranteed Non Fascist Podcast is one helluva slogan
EvilBadman:
The populace craves another 15 part playthrough
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GapFiller Considering how some of them have gone, it is an unfortunate thing you have to say but also I would say all LRR products are guaranteed profoundly the least fascist
Ashmantle:
LordZarano: If anyone wants to see this played by someone who reads almost everything and does voices for all the characters I'd highly recommend IggyMaid's playthrough
TehAmelie: i'll have to watch this again when i have had more than 3 hours of sleep
