I think the pirate one is home brewed, roll play is 2.5 ish? and not sure about this one but I suspect it will be similar to the original roll play as this is JP's first game as DM.

Pretty brave (crazy?) to DM your first time on stream, I know I couldn't do that. Hope it goes well, luckily the rollplay live chat is surprisingly civilized compared to the usual twitch chat.

Haha gonna tune in definitely, it's finally on a good time for EU. Watching JP fail on stream is gonna be funny, plus Neal destroying quest items and killing quest NPCs. xD

It's probably gonna be a bit hard being the host and DM at the same time.

Getting hyped! Will be awesome to see new characters, and how the player adapt their playstyles to new personalities. I'm also especially looking forward to see how JP does GMing, and how Neal does being a player for once.

No he didn't. You guys have no clue how a game run by a good GM looks like. I am not such a GM, but I know 1 or two of those. Neal is pretty good as GM, but he has a big problem with pacing in his campaign.
Also I found it funny how neal was making JP work extra time with constant strange comments and requests.
I seen that a lot when one DM plays in a group by another, especially if the current DM is a noob.

Oh and yes, this is JP's first attempt at being DM (and hilarity ensues).

mmhh was mostly entertaining. JP def needs some more time and make stuffs .. dunno less crazy/rnd? also more incharacter stuff for his npcs (evryone speaking in normal casual JP "whatevs" voice was strange) and more thought out actions.

+ Show Spoiler +
god beeing "ye lets watch all dance do rnd shit " then suddenly " I GOT IMPORTANT GODS STUFF TO DO CYA!". also if you want to describe outcome of rolls make them more fitting to the actually roll. missing the ac by 1 shouldnt be "flail wildly missing and hitting other things".

and iirc wasnt the whole fire thing like REALLY random? neal wanted to impale the leader with a charge, rolls a slight miss and instead he throws it through the camp resulting in a instant inferno that kills all?


overall still decent first effort. catz,ryan and neal seem to have a fun chemistry going, the girl (who looks almost exactly like a girl i once "knew" making it weird for me ;P) needs more to get into it but thats ok. explain her things and whats going on tho, stuff like telling her how the death mechanics work isnt metagaming its expected knowledge needed to make good incharacter decisions.
will be fun to see how this will turn out

DND purists kinda suck. The idea behind the game is what's important. If you're having fun, that's all that matters, and the DM has succeeded. All that other shit is unnecessary. I've played in really good RP games that had nothing but a dude talking to us and us telling him what we wanted to do. It's interactive story-telling, nothing more and nothing less.

That said, I think some stuff caught JP off guard, but all in all he seemed to keep the players relatively interested in the game and nobody seemed to have totally tuned out. That's the mark of a good DM or a great party. I think it was kind of a bit of A and a bit of B. I can tell that JP put a lot of effort into this, and that the guys (half of whom had never played a dnd game in the past) in the party really did a good job to stay interested.

One complaint I have, however, is the OP of this post. My eyes legitimately hurt right now looking at it. It doesn't look bad, but it's extremely abrasive on the eyes, and I'd suggest changing around the contrast of the bright red/blackest black a little bit.

Anyone else notice the strange PMs Neal was sending JP (that JP accidently showed). Stuff like '"Can I eat the horse?". I was laughing pretty hard when I saw that but it didn't look like anyone else noticed (probably too focused on chat!).

Gosh, this is actually really disappointing.
It was going so well, idc about random stuff happening, but when the DM cheats to save players, and even tells people about it, it just /completely/ wrecks any chance of enjoying it.
Also, why does a goblin get knocked out for trying to attack and missing?

iirc ryan was there next round anyways and catz still couldve made his save. he WOULD have done it but it didnt get to the point so not that bad.
for dying first session.. well also almost happened to us when we started our campaign half a year ago but here its just more likely since they rolled for lvl1 hp, usually lvl1 hp is max class HD so the rndness at the start isnt that bad.

Nobody likes dying in a campaign, especially if it's your first, especially if it's the first day, especially if you spent hours drawing your character because you were excited.

Nobody likes killing characters off, especially if it's your first campaign, especially if you like everyone you're playing with, especially if it's due to a stupid lucky dice roll.

Personally I didn't mind it at all, I can empathize with the decision and can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing. It's unfortunate that JP doesn't know all the tricks of the DM trade to let him play off those "dm cheat" moments as if he's not doing it.

But it's all subjective, I can see where you guys are coming from. /shrug. He'll get better with time.

I kinda don't like that he made stupid things happen every time anyone missed either, I dunno. He was pretty good for a first timer no doubt, but there were some irksome things.

I think JP felt a need to make something cool out of each roll of the dice, party because it was his first session as DM and party because he is doing it live on stream for 5000+ viewers.

Hopefully he will learn to just make cool descriptions in this case, and not feel it is necessary to put in additional effects.

When DMs go overboard like JP did, players lose the illusion that they have any control in the game and the game loses fun to them. JP will need to learn all of this like we all did through trial and error and he will need to decide if he is doing this primarily for fun of players or viewers.

Yeah, this is about right. I was the exact same when I tried to dm, to my demise. Trying to hard to make it crazy and fun, when the fact these crazy moments happen so rarely makes them so awesome. He'll learn I think : D

Does anyone know what the 12ft shopkeeper is? Neal obviously knew, and I'm extremely curious.

I think the world is pretty cool. Reminds me of dark sun. A few cool sciencey bits:

Most insects eat vegetables, so not having any plants at all is kind of weird. The only other source of food is other insects and animals ( or monsters ). You might also have some kind of insect that eats the dirt, it is very charry so maybe in your world there is some form of tiny insect or bacteria growth or mold that eats the char that insects can eat.

What makes water acidic is the ratio of (OH) and (H3O) to (H2O). Water naturally swaps its chemical formula between these three. If there is more OH, it is more acidic. If it is more H3O, it is more basic. So if all the water of the world is very acidic, that means the wells could be full of the hydroxide ion of water.

You can also say that the well water has some contaminant in it that makes it acidic. Acids such as sulfuric acid are acidic because of the mineral hydrogen sulfate is dissolved in water, and vary in weight from almost the density of water to double the density of water.

Wanted to say I really enjoy this group... week 2 was pretty bad...you could very easily tell that JP had done 0 planning/thought about that session and you could see all of the gaps in the gameworld he was building... but its slowly getting fleshed out.

Also Catz was meant to star in a DnD show, dude is such a baller and makes the game/his character soooooooo hilarious and fun for everyone.

The way he always wants to spam fog especially keeps me dieing laughing.

they got in a fight with something that they were all having trouble hitting... Catz was hesitant to engage in melee with it cause he only had 3 health... he walks up and 1 shots the thing, rolling the max roll on both a d20 and a d100 back to back... effectively 1 hitting the mob

I'd like to see more punishing moves from JP on players like Catz, who basically made the skeleton-guy his bitch lol and no could just walk away.

Think hes doing pretty good job overall, just be alot tougher and less forgiving !
