Briggs has been streaming for like eighteen weeks straight, 9 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.880 so he's completely lost his mind. So we'll see what he says. 10 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:50.079 Yeab, Yeah, I lost my mind a long time ago. Boys exactly. 11 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:56.079 Also with us today, Truck and Briggs drugging Brigs fucking Briggs. Yeah. 12 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.359 I also want to talk about dungeons and dragons at some point because for 13 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.840 my sub on, one of the rewards I gave was I will run a 14 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.879 one shot under the dragon campaign for the RAN Cafe group. Hell, you 15 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.239 find one more person and we're going to talk about I have a couple of 16 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:11.480 questions I want to ask you guys and some stuff you need to talk about 17 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.439 for that after, but I say we start off with the Avatar live action 18 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.760 just quickly. Oh yeah, sure, for sure, of course. So 19 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.480 I'll be honest with you guys. Go ahead. I've been like I've been 20 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.159 listening to people like Goes and watched it. I like, watch Charlie's review. 21 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.680 I watched most of people and everyone's saying it's fucking mid and disappointing. 22 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:30.920 So I was like, you know what, man, I'm not gonna do 23 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.519 it. I'm not gonna do this to myself. I know Briggs said watch 24 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.519 it, but I can't. I started Rewatchingura log on and instead that's like, 25 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.599 you know, for my mental health, and I don't want to be 26 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.959 watching some mid ass shit Like I just just look at looking the casting for 27 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.680 Azula, like, bro, like that girl is not threatening or sinister looking 28 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.640 in the least. Okay, Like I can't. I can't bin into that. 29 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.239 I can't bin into that person being Azula because of Zula is such like 30 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.680 a crazy, uncanny character and this person cannot be that. So it's like, 31 00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:12.919 you know, the original creators walked out on it. Everyone is clowning 32 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.439 on it. Some people, I guess liked it because some people like the 33 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.719 death note loove actually whatever. But I'm not fucking with it personally, But 34 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.759 I'd like to hear what you guys think. Sure, So personally, I 35 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.240 think I understand hearing other people's opinions and kind of basing it off of like 36 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.439 the look from an outside perspective, like how they like the casting and like 37 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.439 the character design or like the outfits and stuff like that. But at the 38 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.520 end of the day, I feel like you should at least give it a 39 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:43.000 chance and develop your own own opinion. Truck. Yeah, general thoughts, 40 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.039 Did you enjoy it? What did you like? What did you dislike? 41 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.400 So I watched the I watched the first episode and I got like twenty minutes 42 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.759 into the second episode before I jumped in the call. I will say, 43 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.240 so, I, unlike a lot of people, I didn't actually grow up 44 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.680 watching the original animation for Airbender. Like I it wasn't like part of my 45 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.159 childhood because, like similar to Pokemon, like my mom didn't let me watch 46 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.520 it, Like for whatever reason, she saw anything that was violent and she 47 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.120 was like, nope, not allowed kind of thing. Like my mom was 48 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.759 very strict growing I had very strict parents growing up. Uh, so I 49 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.879 didn't get to watch it until like the I want to say, like eighth 50 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.000 or ninth grade, So unfortunately, I actually didn't get to I didn't get 51 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.000 to like experience a lot of the nostalgia. So I don't hold a lot 52 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.000 of those opinions. So my opinions are coming from predominantly some of like the 53 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.120 memes and stuff that I have heard about from and like a lot of like 54 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:44.360 the like, like a lot of the like the very commonly known scenes like 55 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.439 that's my only Avatar like knowledge. I'd have very very little experience with it. 56 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.280 And I also watched the shitty movie from Forever again. That movie was 57 00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.199 That movie was garbage, altogether. Positive of notes that I will say, 58 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:09.520 visually stunning, absolutely beautiful world, gorgeous sets, the costumes, a costume, 59 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.240 the costume, the costuming gorgeous. It looks fantastic. The bending special 60 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.600 effects is obviously improved drastically since the last attempt to make an Avatar live action 61 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.040 That are really good and some that are. There's some that are, there 62 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.240 are some that are, but I think overall, like from what we what 63 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.720 you see just in the first episode, like the bending looks beautiful, like 64 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:43.800 you know something land there my boy night Shyamalan. Okay, but uh so, 65 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.639 I honestly think the like it. It definitely does like the fire bending 66 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:53.839 genuinely genuinely looks gorgeous. Uh. I will say, from like the acting 67 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.600 that I have seen so far, in the just the first two episodes, 68 00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.759 it seems like they tried to do a little bit blending, which didn't land 69 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:06.199 super well at least for like from from my opinion where they tried to still 70 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.879 make some of it. You know, it's lighthearted, it's a kid's show, 71 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.120 but then they also have a lot of really dark undertones and like in 72 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.959 the first scene you get to see some guy actually burning to death, Like 73 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.319 it just kind of seems like there's a it's a little bit jarring for me, 74 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.480 and some of the acting is a little bland. However, I will 75 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.199 say the one casting thing that they did correctly was Uncle iro. I. 76 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.319 I've only seen a little bit of him so far. I haven't seen all 77 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.800 of him, and I actually think he's my favorite. So one thing, 78 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.480 I don't think we're gonna see him naked? What I mean, why not? 79 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.040 I'm you said, I haven't seen all of him, and then I 80 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.600 made a joke. Okay, that's not what I was. That is not 81 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.560 at all where I was trying to go with that. But okay, I 82 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.560 don't know, I just think, yeah, or fucking weirdo anyway, I 83 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.000 just think I was just trying to say that like he was. I think 84 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.680 that they cast him pretty well. I think he seemed to like capture uh 85 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.639 because like you know, I again I don't have much avatar knowledge, but 86 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.240 I do remember like a lot of like quotes from Uncle Iro. I remember 87 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.000 a lot of his you know, like a lot of like his character, 88 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.639 his quotes and everything like that, you know, from the episodes that I 89 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.079 did get to watch, and he was always kind of like a fan favorite 90 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.160 of mine. But yeah, so I think that they did a pretty good 91 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.920 job casting him. I think he so far so far. Again, I've 92 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.839 only seen the first episode and then the first like this first like twenty or 93 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.879 thirty minutes of the second episode, So I don't have much to begin here 94 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:44.839 but to actually keep watching it if it wasn't for a podcast, based on 95 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.680 what you've seen, based on what I've seen, I mean, I I'll 96 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.480 finish it, like I like, I'll watch a couple episodes, but like 97 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.160 I think if I was just enjoying it in my leisure time, like I 98 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.800 probably would watch it just just to see what happens, see what they do 99 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:01.920 with it. But at the same time, like I also like when whenever 100 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.959 something has like this much of a boom of Like also, I will say, 101 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.759 the one thing that I find really funny is, so you know how 102 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.800 One Piece Live in constant in contrast to like how One Piece Live Action held 103 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.279 that number one spot on Netflix for so long, this has had like maybe 104 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.720 a couple of days where it was and then immediately got beat by Love Is 105 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:29.959 Blind. God, that's so funny, which I find hilarious because the tea 106 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:35.240 in Love Is Blind is far more entertaining or appealing than a New Avatar Last 107 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.759 airvender. Because they're like, we tried this once, already fuck it. 108 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.720 Okay, you guys, you guys ready for I'm ready to hear your opinions, 109 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.879 Briggs, because I'm pretty sure you got through all of it right. 110 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.000 I watched it all. Uh huh. I actually really liked it, do 111 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.160 you. I actually really like it. It's awesome. So did I have 112 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.680 a couple complaints? It was far from perfect. I just think it's above 113 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.439 midt. I think people are hate get the hate is overblown. I think 114 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.879 there's absolutely a hate boner for it because it hadn't even dropped yet and people 115 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.959 were hating on it left and right, exactly for a good reason. I 116 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.839 will explain this, Okay, So yes, let's hear the opinion from the 117 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.480 guy that hasn't watched it. I want to more of what Briggs had to 118 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.959 say about it. People hated on it even before it dropped, because that's 119 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.759 completely the fault of the people making the show. First of all, obviously, 120 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.800 the original creators walked out on the project because they weren't happy with how 121 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:35.799 it was going, so that is an immediate red flag. Then you had 122 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:41.000 you had the Netflix people saying stuff like, we want this to appeal to 123 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.159 a Game of Throwne audience, the Game of Thrones audience. We don't want 124 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:46.720 it to just appeal to kids, because the original was, you know, 125 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.399 primarily towards like teens and tweens. But then at the same time they made 126 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.480 comments like we made sok a less sexist because we didn't want we thought that 127 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.559 was inappropriate for people to be exposed to. Meanwhile, that was the whole 128 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.000 point of his character development. He starts off as sexist and then realizes that 129 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.879 he was wrong about that. But so they're the one hand, they're saying, 130 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.279 we want this to be more mature, like for a Game of Thrones 131 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.279 audience, and on the other hand, they're saying, our audience can't even 132 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.240 handle a guy who's sexist being in the thing and then growing as a person 133 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.559 as he goes through the adventure. So people were like, what the fuck 134 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.159 are these people actually aiming for? Like, what are they doing? Yeah, 135 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.000 I feel like they try to just keep kept their mouths shut because and 136 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.320 let the series speak for itself, because honestly, I have some issues with 137 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.159 it, without a doubt, but I still really enjoyed it, and I 138 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.600 do want to talk about it a little bit. So we're talking about the 139 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.279 acting. All the old men, all the older guys fucking killed it. 140 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.559 Oh, they be amazing. Talk to your acting from like Ang's Master to 141 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.960 Uncle Iro to even some of the older guys like the fire Lowered and some 142 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:56.960 of the about as Master. Yeah, I I genuinely like he stood out 143 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.840 to me in the first episode because reminder, only one episode in he actually 144 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:07.919 impressed me because I felt actually gripped by his character that in the moment of 145 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.960 like you know, and like recalling his conversations with his master, like it 146 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.360 made me feel a little emotional, like I didn't cry, but I felt 147 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.960 it, and I think he did. Like I I have to say, 148 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.200 like a lot of like the old like the adults that were cast genuinely shot 149 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:28.159 like they shined. They did a fantastic john every scene with uncle Iro from 150 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.000 him, like episode three onward especially just blew me away. Now, I'm 151 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.679 gonna have to watch it, man, it'd be fair. Though. Uncle 152 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.399 Iro is a highlight in the original too, so it's like, well, 153 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.879 and I think I think they did a good job with that, like a 154 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.360 character that I cared about from the original. If they butchered him, I'd 155 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.519 be sad, you know. Yeah, That's why I'm saying. I think 156 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.159 if it's like I feel like that, he's such an important character to cast 157 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.519 well, because if you fail uncle Iro, you fail the entire fandom. 158 00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.360 And even like with his relationship with Zuko, I think Zuko and uncle Iro's 159 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.159 dynamic they killed really good. In regards to acting, I think Aang and 160 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.279 Katara at times sometimes a little short, but you know, they're young actors 161 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.120 playing younger people as well, so maybe sometimes it came off as cringe because 162 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.600 I got to remember that, like the person speaking right now as twelve years 163 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.840 old. Whatever. However, old Ang is right sokka. I think his 164 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.200 acting was fucking good. I think Soccer was good. They did so in 165 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.320 regards to like the whole like they made him less sexist in his development. 166 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.960 I will say he didn't undergo that development. There was like an old man 167 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.360 in like the water village who was sexist, who like came around, which 168 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.120 is kind of random. They tried to do it with him rather than like 169 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.559 Socca kind of had his sister's back. It made sense with how they changed 170 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.320 the story low key, but like, obviously it's important to have your main 171 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.519 characters change and develop and grow as time goes on, so I think that's 172 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.759 slightly a flaw. My one of my biggest gripes in the first episode, 173 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.399 when Ang finds out he's the avatar in the original, he freaks out, 174 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.399 He gets sad, super upset, and he runs away, and that's when 175 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.759 the storm hits and he gets stuck underwater. Fire Nation attacks the fucking air 176 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:13.399 village. Whatever. He doesn't want this huge responsibility, right exactly, and 177 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.320 he they do the same thing kind of where it's like he just wants to 178 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.320 be normal. He just wants to be a kid. He gets super sad 179 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.399 and upset, and then he kind of calms down a bit and says he's 180 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:30.000 gonna go for like like to think in the sky with Appa, It's like 181 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.720 he wasn't running away, Yeah, And I feel like the whole thing of 182 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:39.440 running away was important for his guilt later on. Yeah, right, Like 183 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.840 it's part of his character, Like he still felt guilty in this one because 184 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.960 he wasn't there to save the world and he wasn't there for like his his 185 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.759 people, but he didn't run away, So I feel like that takes away 186 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.240 from it a little bit. I felt like, yeah, no, that 187 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.120 was very strange because I feel like now the guilt of the like not only 188 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.679 just wanting to be a normal like you want to just be a normal kid, 189 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.960 and like the entire thing is now like now the kind of guilt that 190 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.840 he has isn't like, oh I ran away and this was my responsibility and 191 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.240 like I have to own up for that now. It's just oh my god, 192 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.519 everybody thinks that I am just a coward when it was a whoopsie daisy, 193 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.879 like it wasn't even his fault. He's like, it's not even my 194 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.679 fault, and now I have to like kind of like prove it. I 195 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.039 was like, that doesn't seem right. That was a change. I'm like, 196 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:30.200 that's that's not necessary. Yeah, that's an unnecessary change. I agree 197 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.799 with you. I will say I had one thing spoiled for me that I 198 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:39.399 am going to continue watching just to see, and that is the Cabbages guy 199 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.720 yea, a guy the og voice actor to voice that, and I heard 200 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.000 that instead of just you know, it happening like there was, because it's 201 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.759 such a like world no, like widely known moment that they had a lot 202 00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:00.879 of build up for that scene for when it actually happens. Like honestly mad 203 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.200 respect that they actually went above and beyond to have something like that that like 204 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.679 could actually unify the fandom. I thought that was so funny and I cannot 205 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:11.639 wait to watch it. Yeah, it was. It was hilarious. It 206 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.960 was a hilarious moment overall. I don't think it's amazing overall. I think 207 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.320 it's worse, worse than original in a lot of ways. And they've made 208 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.000 some a couple of bad changes, but at the same time, I think 209 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.879 it's better than mid and getting more hate than it deserves. And honestly, 210 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.080 I gave it, like I think just below like a seven out of ten, 211 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.039 Like I gave it like a six point eight six point nine. Like, 212 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:33.919 Yeah, I think it's a like I would recommend. Like I think 213 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.240 someone could watch this and never watched Avatar and enjoy it. I think someone 214 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.159 who watched Avatar could still enjoy it with maybe like depends on the person. 215 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.360 Again, I'm coming with very little Avatar knowledge, so I'm actually excited, 216 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.360 Like I'm like, I have little, like very little childhood nostalgia to this. 217 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.720 There's some nostalgia that I have, but like not nearly enough to be 218 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.080 like one of those like people that's gonna like have a strong opinion about it 219 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.679 one way or the other in comparison to the original cartoon. However, Uh, 220 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.559 I am excited to see what they did with it, just to see 221 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.799 what how it how it stands on its own, and I probably will have 222 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.759 some gripes with it as well as I do with most things things that they 223 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.159 most things that they try to adapt, and you know, with from something 224 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.440 that has an AA thing and and I know a lot of the complaints have 225 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.039 to do with like the pacing of it, being like they were like they 226 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.000 they skipped through so much or they rushed through so much. And I'm like, 227 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.519 I feel like that's a very common thing though, because like we even 228 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.960 had pacing, Like there was even some pacing complaints that we had with the 229 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.480 One Piece live action, which we praised the ever loving fuck out of. 230 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.639 But it's like, I think Long Park and Anemeca agreed our long Park and 231 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.000 Broady were quite roush right, and they did that. They did the exact 232 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.480 same thing here, and again the thing is there, there's a difference there, 233 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.080 guys. That One Piece is a very very long story, whereas Avatar 234 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.200 is not. Really So, if they're going to commit to doing a TV 235 00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:00.840 show on a beloved property, then commit to doing it right, you know, 236 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.440 having several seasons and doing it because you have a built in fan base. 237 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.879 If you do it right, you're going to be successful. Right. 238 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.600 Yeah, I don't. I don't think it was necessarily bad, but it 239 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.120 was. There were certain times where it's like you could tell that they were 240 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.879 just trying to get like an arc or like a trying to push it into 241 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:23.240 into an episode, and that's the that's the biggest time. The biggest thing 242 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.080 is like, I mean, yet, while I hear what you're saying, 243 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.080 and I'm obviously one piece is the larger story arc. But at the same 244 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.519 time, when you're trying to crush anything that's going to be longer than the 245 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.000 time that you are allotted to do a live action remake and you don't have 246 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.759 as much time or freedom, there's gonna be sacrifices. There's gonna be cuts, 247 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.240 and obviously not like the directors aren't going to magically make everything work out 248 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.720 perfectly one to one or you know, like they're going to make some changes 249 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:56.240 that people are upset about. I know part of it is Netflix's fault as 250 00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.200 a company, because, for example, if they committed to four seasons of 251 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.880 Avatar, you know, the four nations for seasons forty episodes, it would 252 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.640 be much easier than not knowing whether they're only going to have one season or 253 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.480 two or or you know, so then they're trying to kind of like end 254 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.720 it in a way where it would be kind of satisfying. Stuff like that, 255 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.079 and that screws you up. If they could get that commitment ahead of 256 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.200 time. It's like, this is a beloved franchise, it has a huge 257 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.839 ndbase. We can definitely do this. I think that would be way better. 258 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:26.880 But they don't do that. They're just like, oh, we'll see 259 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.200 how it goes, and that's what screws them. I feel like it screws 260 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.319 them. But at the same time, definitely with Game of Thrones and stuff, 261 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.000 I think they might because I think Game of Thrones had like assurances they 262 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.680 would get a certain amount of seasons and stuff like that. But yeah, 263 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.559 I think the way Netflix does it is very stupid, and then they end 264 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.440 up canceling a lot of stuff because it doesn't mean people's expectations right. But 265 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:52.759 then you also have to take into account the budget that is needed for productions 266 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.440 like this. They wanted to get to a Game of Thrones and stuff like 267 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.079 that. There's big budgets for a for all sorts of shows. Of course. 268 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.359 Yeah, I agree the same balls. If you're Netflix, you have 269 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.880 to have the balls to actually commit to something and be like, we're gonna 270 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.599 make a high quality show and we're not gonna base it completely on how the 271 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.920 first season does. What you know, whether or not we're gonna review it, 272 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.640 because it's sometimes you have to make the investment. You can just be 273 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.640 like, oh, yeah, we'll see how it goes. Like yeah, 274 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.839 Adamactus to so I agree with you. I think like it was something like 275 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.400 Avatar or something like One Piece, and she's like, just do it right, 276 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.680 spend extra money, spend extra time, give us a couple more episodes, 277 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.839 or don't cover as much. I completely agree with you, But I 278 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.119 do want to say I've heard more episodes than you think, because isn't there 279 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.559 like three or four books and they're all like twenty four to like thirty episodes 280 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.160 or something like, there's quite a few episodes. Yeah, I think all 281 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.599 they wanted to do was get to the end of book one. They just 282 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.960 wanted to get to like it's like it's like the One Piece wanting to finish 283 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.720 the East Blue. Yeah, they want to first the first arc. They 284 00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:02.279 wanted to end in a way where people would be excited for in two and 285 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.039 yeah, but then again that they get ten episodes, right, they don't. 286 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.039 They can't get any more than that. So it's like, yeah, 287 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:12.480 question, I wish it was more too big quick question, like for both 288 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.799 of you, just because and also chit chat as well. Do you guys 289 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.680 think that because of the like, do you guys think that the one piece 290 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.599 live action had any effect on how they went about like the production with of 291 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:33.240 Avatar Last Airbender, or like maybe the company's expectations for the success because of 292 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.839 how well they did one piece, or the fans expectations because of how well 293 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.160 they did one piece. Do you think how much how much of how much 294 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:45.440 of a role do you think that OPLA played in the overall results of like 295 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.720 gigantic? I think it's gigantic because at the end of the day, just 296 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.079 throughout like media, whatever, some whatever, something finally succeeds everyone else, 297 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.160 or in this case, the same entity is just going to try to copy 298 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:03.839 copy the copy the formula, right, And I feel like live actions failed 299 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.799 for so long because they would get a series like that's now, that's fifty 300 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:08.599 episodes, or they would get a series like fucking dragon Ball at a million 301 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.000 episodes and like let's make a movie. Yeah, you know, let's do 302 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:17.680 an hour and a half. I mean, they tried that with Avatar and 303 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.680 it was terrible. That formula will always fail because we're complaining about it being 304 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.680 rushed for when they give us eight hours Avatar or eight ten hours piece, 305 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.880 ten hours of one Piece. Yeah, they give us eight hours of one 306 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.680 Piece, ten hours of Avatar. Wait a minute, we got jipped one 307 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:40.839 Piece, fans, we got jypped. It wasn't wasn't one piece, it 308 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.599 wasn't eight it was well, it was eight episodes, I think one or 309 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.839 I think there was like the finale was like an hour and a half or 310 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.359 something like that. They gave us like an extra half. Yeah, No, 311 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.160 parts of one Piece were definitely rushed, but I think overall the adaptation 312 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:57.759 was far beyond expectations. Yeah. But one thing I was gonna say, 313 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.759 because you talked about like those, I'll just stuff like I rewatched Avatar as 314 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.960 an adult years ago, and I thought it still holds up and stuff. 315 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:07.680 But I don't think the fact that I watched it as an adult means that 316 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:12.880 I'm gonna be less upset if they screw things up. No, And I 317 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:15.480 know I don't think that either. I'm just saying that I don't really have 318 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.160 any like I didn't get to watch Avatar and it's and it's full. Like 319 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:23.480 I've never act like I haven't sat down and watched an entire season, like 320 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:29.079 as an adult, or like I the only like memories that I have of 321 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.799 Avatar was watching like being able to watch a couple episodes before my mom came 322 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.799 in and turned the TV off. Like I don't have a lot of like 323 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.039 like the only or like you know, maybe like I would sneak an episode 324 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:42.599 or two while at my cousin's house or something like that, Like I don't 325 00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:47.240 have a lot of memory of this show, nor do I have like like 326 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.400 I haven't like connected with like I haven't rewatched a lot of it as an 327 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.319 adult either. That's all I'm saying is I don't have like there isn't gonna 328 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:56.799 be a lot of nostalgia for me, And I'm I'm saying like for me, 329 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.599 I'm coming into this pretty much live action only with very little memory or 330 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:06.279 of anything besides you know, my cabbages and like the boulder, Like those 331 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:08.599 are my memories of Avatar. Look, I don't. I don't have a 332 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.559 lot. And then you know, I thought the Lemur was cute, and 333 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.039 what's crazy? I read I watched it growing up, I read the books 334 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.400 growing up, and my memory of Avatar is still like this goldfish, goldfish, 335 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.200 I think it helped me enjoy it more because I remembered certain changes. 336 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.160 But like with one piece, dude, if they fucking changed a single frame, 337 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.519 I would know, Yeah, well yeah, with one piece, that's 338 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.119 that's that's a different ignorance. Ignorance may have been a little bit like Bliss 339 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.279 here, But honestly, I think I think it was a successful adaptation. 340 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.559 Genuinely I think. Okay, so hearing Briggs' takes on that, I feel 341 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:49.640 like I will probably, I will probably enjoy it because I don't have I 342 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.880 have very little, if any nostalgia factor outside of my cabbages and thinking Uncle 343 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.599 Iro is dad. Like that's it. That's it. That's all I meant. 344 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.759 I didn't. I didn't mean to take away like, oh, like 345 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.000 you know, if you watch it as an adult, then like you can't 346 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.559 be upset with changes, Like That's absolutely not what I mean by that. 347 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.720 I'm just saying that I don't have any memory of it, so I'm kind 348 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.799 of going into this live action only. Yeah, can I say something crazier? 349 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.000 There's one So there's some changes I hated. I think Zuko's relationship with 350 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.680 his father, the fire Lord. Yeah, and like that that dynamic with 351 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.000 the sister as well. Is better in the live action really because in the 352 00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.759 in the original adaptation, we don't get to see like a crazy fight between 353 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.279 Zuko and his father. And Zuko, who's been training his entire life, 354 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.119 actually did well in the fight. But it was his his empathy and his 355 00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.839 like, his his kind heartedness that made him hold back and lose this fight, 356 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:45.680 right, Like, he was actually about to have the upper hand on 357 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.640 his father, the fire Lord in the fight, and then he held back 358 00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.920 and because and then and then his dad sends him away, right and like 359 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.640 like and I just like because a big thing with Zuko is the fact that 360 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.880 like his dad wanted him to be like whole blooded bla blah blah, and 361 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.480 then he still has some good in him despite trying to push it down and 362 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.000 fight it and trying to be cold hearted. Damn. I think it actually 363 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.079 worked better for his story. One. We got a cool fucking fight out 364 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.079 of it. You Like, we got to see like that empathy side of 365 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.400 him, like you didn't want to fucking bash his dad in the face with 366 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.640 fire versus in the and I think in the original it was just like I 367 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.799 refuse to fight you, dad, Okay, that's cool. Like that is 368 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.079 you know, I don't know that that's pretty cool. I'm I'm excited because 369 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.799 like like I said, I don't remember any of the key points at all. 370 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:34.519 I don't like, I'm not going to be able to pick up on 371 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.039 any changes at all. Yeah, So I think the only one that I 372 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.079 the only one that I picked up which a lot of people were like screaming 373 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.480 about, was that, you know, the the intro was done by somebody 374 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:49.599 different in the live action than in you know, the original like mm hmm, 375 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:55.119 the like the Elements speech. God, So like that was like one 376 00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.200 big It was nostalgic to hear that. It was nostalgic to hear. Yeah, 377 00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.799 I was gonna say. I was like, it's just like I'm like, 378 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.680 even as somebody who never watched, like didn't get to watch all of 379 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.000 the episodes of the show, like you you know, you understand when somebody 380 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.359 starts bringing out the Elements, what's going down? Like everything everything changed when 381 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:17.519 the fire Nation attacks. Everything changed in the fire most the spin off with 382 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.799 fire Lord Oza is the main character. I mean, they were the good 383 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:30.160 guys all along, right and in MAC I think you should watch it change. 384 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.799 I doubt I was, but I'm I feel like it's worth giving, 385 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.440 like giving it a chance for the sake, like even if it ends up 386 00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:44.599 being bad or something that you don't like. I still think that trying to 387 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.440 like either like trying to blow it off and then like talk about everything that, 388 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.000 like, like everything that makes it bad without even watching it or giving 389 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.319 it a chance, like it it holds less weight. Like I think that 390 00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.240 kind of argument can hold less weight. It's like, oh, I don't 391 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.559 even it's not even worth my time kind of thing. I'm like, Eh, 392 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.960 that's kind of lame. Like at least give it a shot and then 393 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.359 formulate your own opinion. Yeah, and formulate your own opinion on it. 394 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.240 I think that will hold a little bit more weight in like in an argument. 395 00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.400 Yeah. Also, I think that genuinely we're going to see so much 396 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.359 more live action because they finally found a formula that kind of works. Yep, 397 00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.599 and honestly kind of too. And oh one piece live action Avatar live 398 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.599 action. Like, I think they're both successes, maybe one better than the 399 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.759 other. I'm also definitely one better than the other. Definitely one better than 400 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.000 the other, let's be honest, Briggs. I think someone who hasn't seen 401 00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:38.240 one Piece and hasn't seen Avatar, would enjoy the Avatar one more really Okay, 402 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.160 yeah, but stop doing this now you're pissing me off and making me 403 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:45.960 want to watch it so I can criticize it. Do it, and I 404 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.720 don't want to learn. I feel like my only complaints are because I know 405 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:55.680 the original Avatar like the ones that the changes I remember is what my complaint 406 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.559 would be. With one Piece, I just fucking fan boid, So any 407 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.920 change that they made, I'm just such a one P fan boy that I'm 408 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.519 like, you're like approved of it, approved of it, approved of it. 409 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.880 Yeah. It's interesting how different the two situations are, with those with 410 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:15.839 the original creators walking on like working on the one piece very closely. Well, 411 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:21.319 I don't think Oda would let anybody touch one piece without his stamp of 412 00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:25.680 approval, to be honest, Like, I think there Is has gotten the 413 00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.799 bag before for certain things, but I do think for this live action he 414 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.000 came through. Anyway, I think we move on to solo level and so 415 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.079 we could hear from anamac a little bit, go for it. Yeah, 416 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:44.960 so I do enjoy soul leveling so far. I think that it's cool. 417 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.680 How they brought in the whole gaming element and fantasy element into the real world 418 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:55.720 without going the classic game. It's like it's all a virtual world type thing. 419 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.640 And least I don't think it's a virtual world unless it's all like the 420 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:04.160 matre or something. But yeah, I thought it was cool. I thought 421 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.720 so far it was. It's like interesting a concept in terms of like the 422 00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:14.079 main character getting like this I guess you call it second awakening or whatever, 423 00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:17.720 where he he doesn't right away get stronger, but he has to like earn 424 00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.599 getting stronger, kind of like in a game. So yeah, I always 425 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.000 just like it reminds me of Sytema, right, Like you know, Sama 426 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.200 has to do a certain amount of exercises every single day and then he gets 427 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.359 stronger. And it was literally a one punch Man reference, like his his 428 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.440 homework for the day was a hundred push at one hundred and six sit ups, 429 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:34.400 thank lumber one. Like that was actually a one punch Maan reference. 430 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:37.519 Yeah, yeah, that's what I That's what I that's what I picked up 431 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.839 on, And I thought I thought that was cool. And I thought, 432 00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:45.359 obviously there's no explanation yet as to how this world exists, like how you 433 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.200 know, these gates opened. But then why does he have like a player 434 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.960 menu? You know, why does his power allow him to do that? 435 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.960 I don't know, but intriguing so far and interesting and it could still go 436 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:02.839 the I guess the one the sort of online where jin Wo jin Wou is 437 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.400 it? Yeah, if he where he just kind of like becomes overpowered like 438 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:12.480 Kirito. But so far, I thought that his like, you know, 439 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:17.160 he's gone through a lot and earned his success with Kyoto. We just kind 440 00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.240 of meet him when he's already overpowered and he's like, oh, yeah, 441 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.920 in the past, you know, I I grinded. I was grinding hard 442 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:29.160 in the game. But yeah, I think this so far is promising, 443 00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:33.359 but we'll see how it goes. But yeah, like I definitely am gonna 444 00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.160 keep watching so far and I like it. One thing that I have difficulty 445 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:42.200 with is remembering Korean names, and that's something that I noticed also in when 446 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.880 I watch k dramas is they're so different from what I'm used to. And 447 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.880 I guess the Japanese names I'm used to because I've been watching so much anime, 448 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.119 but like the Korean names, they have two parts, and I often 449 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.200 like they mentioned like someone's name, and I'm like, bro, who is 450 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.960 that again? I don't I don't remember, but that's just probably like because 451 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.559 I'm not used to it yet. Quick question, how far did you get? 452 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:10.279 I think four or five episodes? Oh nice? Did you see him 453 00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:14.319 enter a dungeon with Maybe this wouldn't have happened yet. I didn't say he 454 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:17.680 entered a dungeon with a guy with armor and shit went down? Or no? 455 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.880 Well is it the main the big dungeon with like the big statues. 456 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.680 No, so that's a cool concept. I think it's a really entertaining start 457 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.200 to a series with that dungeon where it's like a double double dungeon. It's 458 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.359 way more powerful than they thought. It was creepy as hell with a twist 459 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:34.079 at the end. Like, I think it's a good start. It probably 460 00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.839 gets mult people's like interest. But there's another dungeon they go into afterwards. 461 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.119 That's episode five. I don't think you got that for five yet. Okay, 462 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.079 so maybe then I'm not in the in that one. I saw the 463 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:47.480 one where he goes into a dungeon by himself that like is like in the 464 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.000 subway station. Oh yeah, so you you watched four for sure? Yeah, 465 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.720 So he ends up like beating that dungeon and by himself, and it's 466 00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.839 like people don't even realize it's a dungeon. So I thought it was cool. 467 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.720 Cool. He's kind of like it's like an what do they call that 468 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.720 augmented reality type thing, but like obviously it's magic, it's not tech. 469 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.160 But yeah, I thought it was cool, like he sees things that other 470 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.920 people don't see in the same location. Yeah, I think you should keep 471 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.519 on watching as well, because I think you might appreciate some of the darker 472 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:25.079 elements of this series because some stuff does go down. I'm not gonna spoil, 473 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.279 but it does get pretty pretty good. I definitely see because like when 474 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.839 he went into the dungeon where it was like huge statues and stuff, like 475 00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:33.880 a bunch of people got killed. Like it wasn't just like, oh, 476 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.680 we all made it out a lot. It was like, no, like 477 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:38.400 some people, even people that we got like a little bit of a backstory 478 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.400 and stuff like that, they just got killed, bro, and just like, 479 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.119 oh shit, like this is They're not joking. I think some of 480 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:47.519 my chat is getting confused between you and goes in Right now, this is 481 00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:49.759 so funny. Didn't you just read it and you guys do a podcast on 482 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.039 it. No, that's goes it. Yeah, that's my brother. We 483 00:31:52.039 --> 00:32:00.160 have a similar voice though, Yeah, it wasn't still my favorite. Rude 484 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:07.160 You owe your life to meet trug Trump. Yeah, okay, you literally 485 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.440 owe your whole identity to a character I created. That's true. I guess 486 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:15.480 that's fair. I am. I am the solo leveler of you or whatever 487 00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:20.559 that means. That's fair. Yeah, yeah, I have I have your 488 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.400 name and the name that you created and the design that you created, but 489 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:29.440 everything else is all me bybe Yeah, animat. I like that you pointed 490 00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:31.480 out that he actually starts off week and has to work a little bit for 491 00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.079 his power. Like, guess he was kind of handed. Like the ability, 492 00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:39.119 the ability to gain solo leveling and actually get stronger and stuff. We 493 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:43.039 still have to work for it to a certain extent and grind. And I 494 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:46.440 appreciate that because the amount of anime nowadays that are just like I got eye 495 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:52.079 to another world with some insane skill or cheap skill. It's like, I'm 496 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.680 happy that's ability. It takes. It takes. It takes place in our 497 00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.279 world to some fantasy elements powers, and there's a gates it opened, it's 498 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:07.640 like and then he has to like work for it, you know, anything 499 00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:08.920 else. Some me think, oh, well, why you talk about Dungeon 500 00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:14.039 and dragons though, yeah, okay, well you don't want to talk about 501 00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.119 anything else about Soul Leveling because I feel like there's quite a bit of hype 502 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:22.079 for it, and uh, I'm just I think, yeah, I think 503 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.720 the show definitely has a lot of potential. I have heard from people before 504 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:31.200 that the webcomic kind of diverges from the original concept and some people didn't like 505 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:36.440 that. Oh I didn't know that, but yeah, light novel to web 506 00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.200 comic, I believe. Yeah, whatever it is, whatever the original work 507 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.920 is, some people were saying that it kind of like that. I don't 508 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.440 know if it's the concept that changes or just like the perspective or something. 509 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.400 But people were saying that they don't necessarily like it. So I'm wondering what 510 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.720 exactly that is. I don't know, I haven't heard. Maybe maybe it's 511 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:57.839 the main character becoming like super op or something he does. So that is 512 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.319 one thing you were you were worried about, like the Sayo effect. He 513 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:07.160 h Unfortunately, the power creep is quick. Yeah, But at the same 514 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:12.039 time, you get badass moments, there are dark moments, and it is 515 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.239 hype. There's it's not it's not the best anime in the world or man 516 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.119 one in the world, but it is at the very least I feel like 517 00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.719 it'll capture your attention and hold it. It's one that definitely, like like 518 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.719 when the Pandemic hit, like that was like the web tune to read every 519 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:32.280 single week like that, It was like that in Tower like that Tower God, 520 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:35.880 yeah, Tower of mid Like it was one of those things where like 521 00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.719 that like those were the it things that would be on every web tune ad 522 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.559 and then like when those and the same with what was what was it out 523 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:47.199 of high school that got an anime like that? Similar Yeah, like those 524 00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:52.519 like those were the it Like Manoa of the Pandemic, I will say easily 525 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.519 top three. So the fact that we're getting Solo Leveling last is kind of 526 00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.400 funny. In my does be like a better version of the the other two 527 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:01.800 in terms of just how it's being adopted, like the quality of the animal 528 00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:05.679 Like it feels like just like an anime. The only difference is that they 529 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:07.599 have Korean names instead of Japanese names, but like it feels like it's like 530 00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:14.440 a proper budget, proper things that. Like, to me, the Tower 531 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:19.119 of God anime felt kind of like amateurish. Yeah, dude, I I 532 00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:22.360 re read a little bit of Tower of God and the mod was a little 533 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.360 bit slower paced. But maybe that's what that's what the mon Maybe that's what 534 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:28.960 the fucking anime needed, just to be a little bit more stick to the 535 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.199 source material because it did not hold I don't know, Tower God could not 536 00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.079 hold my hand. Yeah, I was gonna say, I was like, 537 00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.079 I feel like, I feel like Tower of God was one of the first 538 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:42.920 like iconic Brigo hate Boner moments that I remember from back in the day, 539 00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.639 like so much for me. They all thought I was gonna love it. 540 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.559 They're like, it's the one piece of Manoa. Oh yeah, that's right. 541 00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:51.800 Everybody was so like. I was like, I was like, I 542 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.360 remember Brigo fucking hating the Tower of God. I think Crunchy Old did a 543 00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:00.400 terrible adaptation. They did because they tried to make it crunchy Old original and 544 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:04.440 they saw how terrible that worked for them in the past. Yeah, and 545 00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:07.400 God of High School looked bad ass. Fight scenes were badass. Apparently they 546 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:09.320 skipped a lot I'm like, no, wonder, I don't care about to 547 00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:13.639 do these characters other than the main guy. They fucking skipped so much shit 548 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.719 apparently, And like Adam Back said, I think finally, having read both 549 00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:22.880 Soul Lovely and and watched it, finally we're getting a good adaptation. Yeah. 550 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:27.239 And I can't believe that those fuckers at crunchyroll actually thought, you know 551 00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:30.199 what, we are going to put out a high Guardian spice after everything, 552 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:38.440 and they actually fucking released Oh my god. Okay, I want to ask 553 00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:43.800 you guys, what are your current experiences with Dungeons and Dragons. Been a 554 00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:47.800 player for five years, player for five years years. I've done one shots, 555 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:52.159 ongoing campaigns. I have done one shots, and I've been in two 556 00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:58.960 completed campaigns, uh. Two completed campaigns, two that went on hiatus, 557 00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:05.280 one that I had won I had to leave because of familial issues. Uh. 558 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.639 And then yeah, so and I've and I've done a ton of and 559 00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:14.679 I am also still in one ongoing campaign that plays monthly in person at the 560 00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.119 table. So it's yeah. So I've had a lot of experience, and 561 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:21.960 I've done like a bunch of different world types, Like I've done one where 562 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.400 it's more of like a futuristic world setting where they we have like you know, 563 00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:30.440 guns and Ammo and shit like that. I've done some steampunk esque world 564 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:34.840 settings, and I've done your classic fantasy world setting, so I've I've played 565 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:37.679 a lot of different I have a lot a lot of experience with a variety 566 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:40.480 of D and D campaigns and settings and played a middle multitude of characters in 567 00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:45.159 classes. Whatever classes have you played. I've played a monk, I've played 568 00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:52.760 a ranger. I've played a fighter, I've played a sorcerer and a barbarian. 569 00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:57.480 Played quite a bit. I've played quite a bit. You played more 570 00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:02.400 than me. All I've done is barbarian, rogue, and wizard, and 571 00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:05.800 those are all fun. See, I haven't played a wizard yet and I 572 00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:07.519 have I haven't played a wizard, which I really want to play. And 573 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.000 I also haven't played a bard yet or I made a bar oh. I 574 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.840 also I also made a rogue at one point for a one shot I wanted 575 00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:21.079 to. I've wanted to play a barred really bad, like they're so fun. 576 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:22.760 Oh. I've also played a cleric. Clerics was my first ever character. 577 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:29.039 Clerics are so much fun. It's basically like I love the Cleric because 578 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:30.760 it's like you can heal, but you also, like Tank, everything can 579 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.320 do a shit ton of damage and you have a lot of spell slots. 580 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.599 It's great. I think a Cleric would be the next thing I would want 581 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.519 to play. It's fun, it's fun, very good support character ANIMEC. 582 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.800 Do you have any experience with Under the Dragons yet? No, I've never 583 00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:49.679 played it. My only experience is that people keep talking about it and I 584 00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.760 think it sounds like a cool idea, But I haven't played it, but 585 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.400 I have been looking into it more like truck John sent me some critical role 586 00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:01.920 stuff. Oh nice. I sent him the first campaign out and saw how 587 00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.920 how it's all set up and stuff like that. It's interesting. I'm definitely 588 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.000 down to do something like that. I just gotta obviously find the time for 589 00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.159 something like that, because with family life and work life and everything, you 590 00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:20.480 know, it's hard to find time. So what I'm thinking of doing is 591 00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:22.880 I would just need you in a call for like thirty minutes, and that's 592 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.760 it. You would have to find thirty minutes out of your week to join 593 00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:29.599 me in a call. I will set up your character or help you set 594 00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:34.480 up a character. On a website roll twenty and then we play through the 595 00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.719 website, and I think we just dedicate one Rank Cafe episode to doing a 596 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.239 one shot. I'm down. That'd be so fun. I do think we 597 00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:45.239 would need like an hour and a half, though I don't think we get 598 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:46.719 it done in forty five minutes to an hour. No, So whatever week, 599 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:52.119 you guys know that you have nothing afterwards. Yeah, I would say 600 00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:53.519 we could try a one shot. I think if we try it and we 601 00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:58.599 dedicated a solid two hours to it, I would say it's like two hours 602 00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.960 to be solid, because there's a lot that can happen in an hour and 603 00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:07.480 a half of true gameplay. I mean, I'm sure if you guys are 604 00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:10.000 in the middle of like a battle, you're gonna want to finish it. 605 00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.679 We'll finish it, all right, I gotta go now, right, And 606 00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.440 how do you feel about doing it for a Rank FA episode? I'm down, 607 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:21.320 especially if you're gonna do the heavy lifting, brigs. I mean, 608 00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:23.920 if I'm gonna be the DM, like the player, the beauty of it 609 00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:28.639 like I've been so I've been a player character for like three four years now. 610 00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:31.119 I've never DM before, so I might suck just the heads up, 611 00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:35.920 that's fine, but for the most part, the players just have to fucking 612 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:39.119 show up. The only type of prep you would need to do is like, 613 00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:45.960 choose your character and your stuff. Just join a call with me for 614 00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:50.840 thirty minutes so we could like choose your class and choose your like abilities and 615 00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.719 whatever. We don't need to write three four page background like background stories, 616 00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:58.480 like we don't need crazy stories or anything like that. So one thing I'll 617 00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:01.719 tell you is that I don't know anything about classes. Okay, so when 618 00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:05.239 I first joined One Piece D and D, I didn't know anything about D 619 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.400 and D at all. Russige didn't realize who he was inviting, and he 620 00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:12.440 didn't realize how little I knew about one about D and D either, And 621 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.280 he's like, it's fine whatever, but I got I Dude. I still 622 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:21.280 don't know that much honestly. But what I would write, what Rustage recommended 623 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:24.559 me is He's like, choose a simple character to start something like a barbarian 624 00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:29.960 or a fighter or a monk. Maybe monk's not super simple, but like 625 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:34.559 barbarian fighter, maybe a fighter. Fighter is very very newbe friendly. I 626 00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:38.920 will say fighter is incredibly nube friendly because you just have so many like there's 627 00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:44.000 so many things that you can do. Mm hmm, So like you could 628 00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:49.559 be a barbarian is a guy with no armor with like he rage. He's 629 00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:52.320 a beefcake. He rages, gets mad and has like an axe or sword 630 00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.800 or something a big weapon. He usually usually two handed weapons, sometimes one 631 00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.360 handed with a shield, but again it's usually not needed. Rogues tend to 632 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:05.079 be more assassin esque, right. Rogues are tricky because they die a lot. 633 00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:07.840 Yeah, they're I mean, they're glass canons. You just you just 634 00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.559 have to know how to like play them. You gotta be sneaky, you 635 00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:14.280 gotta use stealth, you gotta disengage. You don't want to stay in front 636 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:19.639 of their beefcake very decks heavy and in the background. Stay in the back 637 00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.880 line, try not to get dove. So I would recommend a simple character 638 00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:27.920 for you to start, and technically you would have to come up with like 639 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:31.199 their name and like funny enough, Like I know it's so funny. People 640 00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.679 in my chair are like, I want to see my character sheet and they 641 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:38.400 have like pages written about their fucking character. I did, dude, I 642 00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:43.360 did one piece, D and D for three years. Want to know what 643 00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.360 I told Rustage. My dude's Ragnar. He's jacked, he's got a fucking 644 00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:51.360 eye patch, and he likes his family and we figured so funny. Dude. 645 00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:53.000 Literally, I didn't write anything. I wrote nothing down. I didn't 646 00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:57.920 I didn't write a single thing down. Every now and then Rusty would just 647 00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:00.679 send me a message he's like and he's like, okay, and he would 648 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:02.199 be like, okay, what what what? What's the kid's name, Magnus, 649 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:07.599 what's the wife's name Hura? Okay? All right, Like four months 650 00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:12.880 later he's like, or I'll be like, yeah, they got they all 651 00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:15.400 got fucking kidnapped, and I'm trying to save them. Like it's like it's 652 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:19.159 very there's there's no actual writing. It was literally like a point yeah, 653 00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:22.320 point four, like a couple points like this is who I am. You 654 00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:27.559 don't here's my here's my hot take, and I and I Brigel will definitely 655 00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.079 agree with me. Based on how Ragnar was made. You don't need to 656 00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:37.480 have like seven pages of a backstory to have like to feel depth in your 657 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:43.599 dn D character. I have felt so strongly connected to some of my characters, 658 00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:46.599 uh, and I have written nothing for them, Like my last character 659 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:52.800 that I recently retired because the campaign ended. Uh she she was written for 660 00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:55.079 a one shot. She was I wrote her as a throwaway character. I'm 661 00:43:55.079 --> 00:44:00.280 like, she's gonna go absolutely nowhere and then and like it's for a shot. 662 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:02.320 Anyway, that one shot turned into a two year long campaign, and 663 00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:07.320 I cried when it ended. When it ended, and I like, like 664 00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.079 it felt like it was the saddest thing for me to write retired on her, 665 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:14.440 like on her character sheet and like to actually put her away because I 666 00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:17.079 was like, wow, like this this one character went through so much and 667 00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:22.280 like and I wrote nothing for her backstory other than like what I knew was 668 00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:25.360 gonna like supposed to be happening in that one shot because it was like we 669 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:28.800 were supposed to be traveling with my family. Oh guess what. All of 670 00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:32.400 them died. Yeah, all of them died. And now like my dad 671 00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:36.320 is like a devil, and like there's like all of these crazy things. 672 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.280 My mother is a dragon. Like it's like all of this like crazy like 673 00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:45.000 stuff happened from just me going uh yeah, my like background is a black 674 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:50.960 dragon heritage and that's about it. Yeah, like that's how I happened black 675 00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:54.320 dragon heritage because it was my writer, So to me, writing stuff is 676 00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:58.079 not a problem, Like I'm literally writing a fantasy book right now. So 677 00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:00.199 you'll have fun with D and D. That's what I'm hearing, Anna, 678 00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:04.760 mag you are actually I feel like you will genuinely have fun doing that. 679 00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.159 Yeah, I think, I think so. That's why I've been kind of 680 00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.800 itching to try it for sure. No, I'm so happy. We'll start 681 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:14.400 off with a one shot and if people enjoy it, maybe we could do 682 00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.079 it like every couple of months type of thing, as like a rank cafe 683 00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:20.039 as well. We'll see. We'll see how you can you get guests for 684 00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:22.280 that too. We are going to need at least one guest because I can't 685 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:29.239 have a two person party. I would say three max four. Ideally four 686 00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.639 is nice, but maybe we'll start with three. And what I'm thinking we 687 00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:35.840 can we can people. I don't know how people feel about me spoiling, 688 00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:37.440 but I'm not gonna tell guys anything of that. I've already kind of been 689 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:42.840 planning in my head. I think we're going to start with this a very 690 00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:47.000 basic fantasy world. Also again to the details, where it's just like you 691 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:52.920 two whatever characters you guys choose, just make sure they're like over eighteen and 692 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:59.760 under fifty please or under seventy, we'll do. You two are going to 693 00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:02.880 be ventures, and you'll have your own reasons for becoming adventures. You guys 694 00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:07.519 could decide that. I don't decide that. Yeah, and you know you 695 00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.039 got their adventures. Wait, Like, I'm so excited. I'm actually really 696 00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:15.079 excited. I've been wanting to play D and D again, like h ever 697 00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:17.199 since my last campaign ended, and like I only get it once a month 698 00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:22.719 or once every two months now, so it's like, oh, I'm actually 699 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.159 I've been itching to play, so like this is this is really scratching my 700 00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.280 This is really scratching my itch. I'm really excited, and I'm gonna start. 701 00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.199 Your guys, Clearly Stark John likes it and has experience, so then 702 00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.760 she can kind of guide us through this. Yeah, I mean I've never 703 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:42.679 I've never I was gonna say i've never DMed, but I'm happy like I 704 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.719 and like that's the thing is, I will never like overstep when it comes 705 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.800 to that, because I know there's like a problem with some players that can 706 00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:52.079 like try to backseat DM. I will not do that unless you are reaching 707 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:54.960 out to me for a lifeline. Yeah, if I ask you a question 708 00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:58.320 or I asked chatic question, that's fine. Oh yeah. What I love 709 00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:00.800 about Russig is D and D is like he just kind of makes his own 710 00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:06.840 It's he has like the I'm not rule of cool whatever. It's like if 711 00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.159 it's if it's fun, he'll let it work. Yeah, we don't need 712 00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:13.840 it's a fucking like manual for like D and D five E and like all 713 00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:15.000 the rules. But at the end of the day, Ruster has some of 714 00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:19.519 his own home brewed rules that he prefers, and that's just the way we 715 00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:21.320 play, like and chat. Sometimes it gets mad, like that's not how 716 00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:24.519 it works. It's like playing every table can have their own set of rules. 717 00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:28.159 Ultimately, it's up to the D to the DM to decide. I 718 00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:32.159 hate rule lawyers like el L exactly, and I feel like we don't need 719 00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:37.159 to have the perfect rule campaign. It's like, I'll decide things based off 720 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.679 of what I think is fair and obviously I want I'm gonna it's not like 721 00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:44.360 I'm gonna make I want these guys to lose and die or I want them 722 00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:45.719 to succeed and be easy. I'm gonna make it so that I think it's 723 00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:50.639 a fair campaign. There's there's something like there's something that's like fun, like 724 00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:54.280 a challenge is fun. Uh, And especially if we're not starting at like 725 00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:59.239 level one, like dude, we're we'll be able to have a lot of 726 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:02.480 fun. It'll it'll be fun. It'll be a good I think even if 727 00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:06.239 we didn't start at level one, which it's just it's hard to work up 728 00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:07.519 from you. No, we're not going to start a level one, especially 729 00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:10.920 for a one shot. Yeah, that's the other thing. So it's a 730 00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:14.320 one shot technically, but if people like it, people like it, we 731 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:15.639 can make it in you. Yes, I wouldn't want to go like I 732 00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:20.000 would say level three, level five max. That's yeah, that's honestly, 733 00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:25.440 that's that's that's perfectly appropriate for one shots level either. So, like the 734 00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:29.079 thing is that in MAC, like level one, you're basically a fucking civilian, 735 00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.159 like you're an NPC that it's like a normal dude. Yeah, you're 736 00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:32.960 a normal dude who could pick up a sword. But it's like if you're 737 00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:36.000 level three, you might have a couple of abilities. So I'm going to 738 00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:37.599 start the level three so you can, yeah, you start to pick like 739 00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:43.079 the powers. So there's class, there's like within your class, you have 740 00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:46.960 your own subclasses, uh and things, and usually three and five are where 741 00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:52.000 you start to unlock those innate abilities, like Barbarians get to choose like you 742 00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:57.719 know, their like elements and whatnot. Sorcerers unlock stuff around that level. 743 00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.480 So it's like a video game, dude. So basically like every time, 744 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:05.719 whatever time you level up, you either get like improved like ability score, 745 00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.760 like you like get stronger, or you get more like like vitality or whatever, 746 00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:13.280 like health or whatever. Or at specific levels like three and five, 747 00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:15.119 it's like, oh, I could use this type of attack now, or 748 00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:19.760 I have disability and you add I would just add it to your sheet an 749 00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:23.320 iMac and be like you could do this, yeah, and from us in 750 00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:28.280 the meantime, I need thirty minutes of your time at some point to get 751 00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:31.000 into a call, okay. And if you could come up with like, 752 00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:35.639 actually, no, I'll get into a call and we could figure out the 753 00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.400 name afterwards, you could figure you could figure out everything for your character, 754 00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.599 and I just like, but before the session, tell me your name for 755 00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:45.400 the session. Yeah, And well, I think it's appropriate to set a 756 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:47.119 day and time for this because it's going to be kind of like an event 757 00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:50.400 for the Rank Cafe and then we can promote it and stuff like that, 758 00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:53.840 exactly the class before we come with the name, I assume, yeah, 759 00:49:53.920 --> 00:50:02.320 yes, but realistically I would choose between Barbarian Fighter, Ranger or rogue for 760 00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.880 you like nothing with magic or anything like. And this will be streamed right 761 00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:14.239 here on the RAN cafe, so be here. I'm just just to let 762 00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:17.519 chat know like this, this will be this experience will be right here on 763 00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:22.199 this very channel, so this will be super super exciting. I'm actually I'm 764 00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:24.960 I'm pumped. I'm pumped. And then I'm sure offline we can probably talk 765 00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:30.119 about who we can probably get as a guest. I don't know if you 766 00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:34.679 have ideas in mind, art or anything like that, but yeah, not 767 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:40.440 really, not yet, but we'll get there. M hell, yeah, 768 00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:44.920 I'm excited. This is I'm excited. I'm a little nervous. Well, 769 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:47.320 I'm not nervous for the one shot. It's more if this were to continue, 770 00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:51.360 because I think I'm not the best storyteller. I think Animac would probably 771 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.199 be a great DM, but he has to learn the game. If I 772 00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:59.039 knew how it works. Right now, I'm telling you right now, he 773 00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:01.960 would be one of those real rotors, would have to like he would have 774 00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:06.519 to learn how to make sure because, like they think, a big part 775 00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:12.000 of not just the storytelling part, but like being able to let your players 776 00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:15.360 tell the story with you is very very important. And I feel like that. 777 00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:20.360 I think I think breaks like you will probably get the hang of that 778 00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:22.800 pretty easily. Yeah, because I feel like I know better than you guys. 779 00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.760 So that's the Yeah, exactly, You're going to be like, why 780 00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:30.840 are these characters are really you're kind of dumb, Like you should just you 781 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:34.320 should know that there is a like you should know that you have to ask 782 00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:37.639 me for a uh, like to check for traps because obviously this thing is 783 00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:42.679 going to be trapped the way that it looks. I can't relate to this. 784 00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:46.719 Yeah, A big thing is that the DM doesn't write the story. 785 00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:52.159 The DM. What it does is you create the world and the NPCs and 786 00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:55.519 like based off of your characters. You guys are adventures, right, so 787 00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:59.639 I know you're going to go on adventures and try to like do a dungeon 788 00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:01.840 crawl. Maybe we'll do or something like that. Right, we'll do something. 789 00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:08.039 So I'll set up bosses in those dungeons or those adventures fights, or 790 00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:14.000 it's just kind of like setting up a world, setting up you're setting Yeah, 791 00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:16.239 you're setting things up for your players to tell the story. But for 792 00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:20.159 example, like like this is not something I'm gonna do, but I'm missing 793 00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:22.159 off the top of my head, let's say like I'm an MPC, so 794 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:28.840 I'm I'm a woman who wants my my dad saved. He got kidnapped. 795 00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:31.159 So I put up a quest on the board and it's and you guys decide 796 00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:34.480 to do it. So it's like I'm technically writing the story where it's like 797 00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:37.760 this woman had their his father kidnapped, and he's now hiring she's now hiring 798 00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:42.280 adventures. You guys chose the quest, and you're gonna choose how you go 799 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:46.400 about completing the class. I might set some some clues and some mysteries to 800 00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:50.480 be solved in order to find out where the person is, but it's up 801 00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.079 to you to figure it out right, And then when when you run into 802 00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:54.280 people, it's up to you to see how you engage with them. Do 803 00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:58.159 we like, are we murder hoboes or do we actually take the time to 804 00:52:58.159 --> 00:53:00.480 talk to people? Yeah, are you gonna. That's a big thing that 805 00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:05.159 not a lot of people talk about, is like there are different dynamics within 806 00:53:05.239 --> 00:53:07.159 parties. How do we talk to each other, how do we problem solve? 807 00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.199 Like, and it's there's a lot of there's a lot of there's a 808 00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:14.239 lot of lessons that I like hard lessons that I had to learn in my 809 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:17.280 last campaign. Uh, Like we kind of murder hobode quite a bit, 810 00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:24.400 and we've suffered the consequences because we like sped past like a lot of important 811 00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:29.599 like details and important information that we could have had if we just took a 812 00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:32.840 second to talk to an NPC and we didn't try to just figure it out 813 00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:37.239 in our big dumb brains. And like, you know, it was just 814 00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:40.639 one of those things where it was like you stuff, like like you're in 815 00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:45.559 this game, your choices have an effect on how the world sees you, 816 00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:51.599 and like you actually can make an impact on what happens, sorry, what 817 00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:55.360 happens out in the world. And it's it's it's both though, like most 818 00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:00.039 fun and frustrating part of this game. For example, like I was giving 819 00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:04.719 an example about like you guys trying to say this person's husband or father or 820 00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.360 whatever. It is and then maybe you find an information that at a bar, 821 00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:10.880 someone knows the person or might have some information you guys walk in the 822 00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:15.039 bar. It's like you could use charisma and like try to be charismatic and 823 00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.480 like smooth the guy for the info, or like try to gamble the guy 824 00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:22.599 for the info, or you can just torture the dude or try to be 825 00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:29.079 like intimidating. However, your encounter with that NPC will now affect future interactions 826 00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:32.599 with that NPC, right, Like if you are yeah, if you're an 827 00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:37.719 asshole to this person, maybe three three fucking episodes later or three things later, 828 00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:42.639 it's like, now you have a mission near there. This person could 829 00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:45.320 have helped you if you they became your friend, or now they could be 830 00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:49.079 their enemy since you treated them like shit. It's like I get to like 831 00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.119 write that part of the story as the DM and it's fun makes sense, 832 00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:57.239 Yeah, it's it's it's all. It's all very like Theater of the Mind. 833 00:54:57.360 --> 00:55:00.960 There's a lot of what ifs uh And I think it's really I think 834 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.159 it's a really fun it's I think there's there's a lot of fun that can 835 00:55:06.199 --> 00:55:07.440 be had, and I think the I think that the three of us would 836 00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:09.880 actually do like have a lot of fun. And I think if we find 837 00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:14.760 somebody that ends up like fitting the role of like that extra person to to 838 00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:17.400 play in this with us, I think we will. We'll be solid to 839 00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:21.599 run a few episodes, you know. I think it'll be super fun if 840 00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:23.840 we had even if it was even if it was like a one off adventure 841 00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:28.639 that only lasted a couple episodes, if we wanted to actually plan to do 842 00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:31.119 like a full on campaign, like, I think we would have the what 843 00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:37.599 it takes to do it. Yep, it's so fun. I love the 844 00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:43.039 chats A normal trends. Newer players equal murder hobos, more experienced players equal 845 00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:47.599 less murder hobo veteran players. Yep, it's true. It's very true, 846 00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:54.599 very very true. Which if I want to be very machiavellian, which is 847 00:55:54.639 --> 00:56:00.519 the best clause, Oh my god, you could be machiavellian as any class. 848 00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:07.760 Yeah, it's your person Your class doesn't necessarily define your personality, all 849 00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:12.840 of them. I'm just wondering if there's any classes with ability that are specifically 850 00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:19.840 like good for manipulating people, uh anything, charisma based. You could have 851 00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:22.599 rogues, you could have rogues, So you could have rogues that are you 852 00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:28.280 can have rogues that are charisma based. You can our sorcerers are by default 853 00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:32.960 charisma base, but they're not very newbe Friendly sounds like the best one because 854 00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:39.760 you said new friendly plus riz bards are incredibly charisma based. But if I've 855 00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:45.760 seen Animac as a bard, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I 856 00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:52.079 just yeah, actually no, genuinely, if you guys have seen the image 857 00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:58.519 of Animac on a horse, does he not look like a paladin? Kind 858 00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.280 of that would be perfect. A beefcake with a sword and he like, 859 00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:06.199 oh my god, honestly, that would be so great. Also, like 860 00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:14.039 it also depends like when you religion when I absolutely would yeah, and you 861 00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:22.119 could when you Truck John admitted that I'm a beefcake. Okay, I didn't 862 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:28.119 say that you were a beefcake. But you you want a sword, a 863 00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:32.280 sword photo of course with a sword looks it looks, it looks beefy. 864 00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:37.719 The armor is beefca like you can have you can have beefy armor. Yeah, 865 00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:45.320 sure, truck, Yeah, anyway, I do want to know it's 866 00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:52.800 okay at it back when you when you watch and you see a group of 867 00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:57.800 adventures, or you see a group of individuals, who would you most want 868 00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:00.239 to play, Like when you seek a party and like one guy like a 869 00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:02.239 healer, one guy's a big dude with an axe. One dude's got like 870 00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:06.119 a sword and shield, or one guy's got a bow and arrow, or 871 00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:08.199 one guy's an assassin. Like who who seems the most fun to play? 872 00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:19.400 I guess the main character who's kind of like doesn't show his hand right away, 873 00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:22.880 but when he does need to fight, then he crushes you know what 874 00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:28.000 I mean. I feel like rogue kind of suits that. I also think 875 00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:34.159 it suits here like personality. Roads could be like like shifty and like intelligent 876 00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:37.280 and smart about how they go about battle. Yeah. Yeah, very tactile. 877 00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:39.840 Rose, You have to be very tactile to play, and I think 878 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:43.760 otherwise you'll do kid. Yeah, I think you'll. I think that would 879 00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:46.760 definitely suit your place side. It sounds like me. I feel like if 880 00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:51.400 Animac like walked into a when he when animc watches a fight, it's like, 881 00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:53.119 why the fuck is this guy standing right in front of the big dude 882 00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:55.719 with a sword. It's like I feel like Anima would be like, let 883 00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:59.960 me sneak behind this guy or talk to him and then get a sneak attack. 884 00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:04.760 M like, I already poisoned this guy. If Anima were to meme, 885 00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:08.119 it would be a paladin, but I think irl definitely more suited to 886 00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:12.360 a rogue. I think rogue works. What about you, Chuck, are 887 00:59:12.360 --> 00:59:15.159 you is there a character that you're leaning towards playing UH or a class? 888 00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:22.079 I mean probably either, I would I I would have to say either because 889 00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:25.199 it's been years since I've played a cleric. I would love to play another 890 00:59:25.559 --> 00:59:29.679 another Cleric, but there are classes that I haven't played yet, like Wizard 891 00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:34.280 and Bard that I've been dying to play. I also haven't played a palettin 892 00:59:34.360 --> 00:59:37.440 yet either, So like, I feel like I am kind of going back 893 00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:39.480 and forth between wanting to do something that I know I've had fun with in 894 00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:45.239 the past and would love to do again, or trying something completely new. 895 00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:49.599 So yeah, I don't know. I feel like I would either go with 896 00:59:50.639 --> 00:59:52.480 you know, I don't know. I feel like it's harder to find people 897 00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:59.360 that want to play the tanky like the tankier classes, so like part of 898 00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:02.039 me would want to le TOWRNS lean towards either a paladin or a cleric. 899 01:00:02.719 --> 01:00:06.320 Uh, But I also just would love to play a bar because it like 900 01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:10.559 looks like so much fun then. And also wizards are fireball, like wizard 901 01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:16.039 cast fireball and only fireball. I mean, for example, that's like you 902 01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:19.920 you could do whatever you want, especially for this one shot. I'll try 903 01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:21.800 to set it up in a way where like you could play whoever you want, 904 01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:22.679 because at the end of the day, like if you wanted to run 905 01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:24.800 a wizard in a rogue, is that the smartest thing in the world, 906 01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:30.880 Not at all. But so to explain to anamac is like I guess you 907 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:35.960 would notice from fucking m morpgs and fucking any fantasy nime you watch. It's 908 01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:38.159 like a rogue is not a beefcake. A wizard's not a beef cake. 909 01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:42.320 They're both strong in their own way, but like in fight, something they 910 01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:46.719 take they take like there is a uh. There is a well known meme 911 01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:51.800 in the D and D world that is, you see a wizard, it 912 01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:55.480 it dies of one D four sneeze damage. Like they are absolutely squaishy, 913 01:00:55.639 --> 01:01:01.360 like early level wizards are like you die any every encounter, like you're always 914 01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:06.760 going down if you get hit. Barbarians and fighters are gonna have more HP, 915 01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:09.639 right or like a monk could deal a lot of damage, you know, 916 01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:15.920 like but also monks, monks you can't hit as well. Like it's 917 01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:19.400 it's there's a whole balance. But for example, if you guys are an 918 01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:22.360 adventure and you're about to go on a thing, like you could ask someone 919 01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:24.280 at like the guildhall, Like you could try to convince someone to join you, 920 01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:27.679 Like if you if you guys are a fucking rogan wizard, like we 921 01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:31.400 need to hire or befriend a barbarian asap, you know, before we do 922 01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:36.039 this, Yes, exactly, And that's why using your MPCs and kind of 923 01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:42.800 like like having that ground of like knowing, like knowing your world is like 924 01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:46.360 super important, and like befriending people like I don't know, it's I think 925 01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:51.119 it's really cool. It's it's also, uh, I don't know. Dn 926 01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:54.360 D is always just so fun because like there are I feel like it's so 927 01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:59.239 I hate I hate that this has happened. But in two of the campaigns 928 01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:01.159 that I have been in, I hate when I end up going on because 929 01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:05.679 I'm not the one that writes like crazy backstories for all of my characters. 930 01:02:05.679 --> 01:02:08.519 I usually kind of just make them up as I go. And twice this 931 01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:14.239 has happened where my DM like finds my character super interesting and wants to go 932 01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:16.880 down the rabbit hole of my backstory and I'm like, I don't have one, 933 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:21.039 and like they're like they want to make me like the center of attention. 934 01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:22.920 I'm like, I'm a background character. Like I'm very eminence in shadow 935 01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.800 this shit, Like, I want to be a background character. I just 936 01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:30.960 want to be able to hit things with my sword or with a spell or 937 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:34.840 with whatever, or like you know, shoot it with my bow. Like, 938 01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:37.920 let me let me be, you know, let me just be like 939 01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:39.559 the guy that is like support. I want to be a support. I 940 01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:44.400 don't want to be the main character. And it happens so often and I 941 01:02:44.440 --> 01:02:47.119 hate it because I'm like, i just want to be the little guy in 942 01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:52.599 the corner that just either is a beefy tag. I'm just a little guy. 943 01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:54.719 Well, I want to be the main character, Briggs, so you 944 01:02:55.079 --> 01:03:00.880 can you can push me for backstories and stuff that already for you. Sounds 945 01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:05.400 good now, Well I'll message you guys. We'll try to figure out. 946 01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:07.360 It would be so fun. Yeah, I'm excited. I wouldn't want to 947 01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:12.239 do it next week obviously, but maybe two three weeks from now would be 948 01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.920 cool. I think if we well, I think if we can plan with 949 01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:20.800 whoever we want as our guest for that for the one shot, like who's 950 01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:23.159 like somebody to prepare to play. Once we settle that, then I think 951 01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:27.079 we can set a date for it, just because I want to make like, 952 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:30.000 I don't know, I feel like for this we might want to actually 953 01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:31.800 promote it a little bit, and I would I would love to put post 954 01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:35.920 it on Twitter and like, you know, get like a quick thumbnail for 955 01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:38.000 it or something like that that we can use as like a guys, check 956 01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:40.440 this out, raycif he's doing a one D like a D and D thing 957 01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:44.400 and we have this person playing with us, and it's gonna be super fun. 958 01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:47.159 It's about damn time we did this, guys. Yeah, so excited. 959 01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:51.400 I'm so excited. I can't wait. I'm as scared about rulings. 960 01:03:51.480 --> 01:03:54.039 It's my biggest fear is even about creating craft in the world and the characters. 961 01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:58.719 I mean, voice acting might be a little scary because I've always voiced 962 01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:01.159 one person when I play right, like and MATC, you get the U 963 01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:04.320 set the voice one person and he could technically have your voice. Yep, 964 01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:13.039 that's boring, but he can, dare you Briggs. But like but but 965 01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:15.440 like for me, like if you guys go talk to like a woman working 966 01:04:15.440 --> 01:04:18.519 at the counter, I gotta do the woman's voice. Yep, if you 967 01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:21.559 go talk to an elderly dude sitting down, like I have to do the 968 01:04:21.599 --> 01:04:29.440 elderly person's voice. And like a guy who is not my favorite my favorite 969 01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:33.480 thing character, like the only the only thing that I like, or I 970 01:04:33.559 --> 01:04:38.440 should say, the main thing that made me want to like give Dming a 971 01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:43.880 shot was the variety of voices of like the NPCs and stuff and doing voices 972 01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:47.400 because I always find that stuff to be so fun. But I've also like, 973 01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:50.440 I'm like, I don't think I could give the time of day and 974 01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:54.559 dedication that it needs like that it takes. I don't think I could focus 975 01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:57.960 on that for that long, So like I've never wanted to give it a 976 01:04:57.960 --> 01:05:01.159 shot, but like, the voicing thing is always so fun. One bribe, 977 01:05:01.239 --> 01:05:04.079 I pretty much came up with a concept of like what we could have 978 01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:09.320 done on the spot here. I love that like a bunch of group of 979 01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:12.679 adventuress you guys have your own backsprices for while you became adventures and it's like 980 01:05:12.679 --> 01:05:16.199 I it's like, oh yeah, a woman puts up a request on the 981 01:05:16.199 --> 01:05:19.760 board. We started in a tavern. We start in the tavern in a 982 01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:24.599 guildhall, like very like and then and that's the thing, like as you're 983 01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:27.800 like, even though this is like your first time dming, like like a 984 01:05:28.079 --> 01:05:32.199 starting the story in a tavern is like it's it's very common, and it's 985 01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:35.679 you know, it's it's basic for a reason in that it works. It's 986 01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:43.000 the easiest place to get this like like because I think a very uh one 987 01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:45.519 of the like DM's biggest struggles is figuring out, Okay, how do all 988 01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:51.599 of these very different people with very different backgrounds come together? Yeah, because 989 01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:56.480 that is like that like that's crucial if we're gonna like how do we get 990 01:05:56.519 --> 01:05:59.480 to the point where we want to form a party with one another, especially 991 01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:04.039 for starting out to strangers. So I think, for example, like Ruster 992 01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:08.159 would be like, this is a one P D and D campaign and you 993 01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:11.960 guys are pirates. Make a character that that would want to be a pirate 994 01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:15.239 for whatever reason. And I love that. I love that. That's so 995 01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:18.079 that's like simple and to the point simple. Obviously, I am not going 996 01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:25.559 to be doing the woman put up a quest father on the board, but 997 01:06:25.639 --> 01:06:29.280 I'll come up with some other cool stuff. Yeah, No, it's gonna 998 01:06:29.280 --> 01:06:31.840 be so I'm excited. I'm excited to see, like you play a d 999 01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:38.280 M, and I'm excited to see Animac you know, dive into tabletop gaming 1000 01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:42.320 for the first time. Even though we're doing this through day scord. I 1001 01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.239 think it'll be praically. I think Risk counts as a tabletop game. I 1002 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:54.079 do like like you know, t t r PG, you know, like 1003 01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:59.639 like it, like playing I definitely want to. Okay, let's do it, 1004 01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:03.880 guys. Excited over it, people, because we're gonna have some fucking 1005 01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:08.519 fun. Hell yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to see who we come 1006 01:07:08.599 --> 01:07:12.480 up with as a guest. Maybe we'll drop a couple of names as options 1007 01:07:12.519 --> 01:07:15.320 in the or see if anybody takes interest in it in our group chat, 1008 01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:20.559 and we'll ideally people who have played played d before. Yes, that is 1009 01:07:20.599 --> 01:07:24.719 ideal. Yeah, I don't want to, Like, I think you and 1010 01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:28.800 I being the only people that have touched the game would probably not work the 1011 01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:33.559 best. But I want to ask tech that would be so sick. Oh 1012 01:07:33.559 --> 01:07:36.480 my god, I love teching. That would be so fun. But then, 1013 01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:45.440 oh my god, recond No, absolutely absolutely not, Nope, nope, 1014 01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:48.239 nope, nope, nope, nope, nope nope. Like I don't 1015 01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:51.559 know, a D n D game with recon might actually be like good content 1016 01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:59.599 in the sense that it's like, try not to kill yourself challenge how long 1017 01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:02.119 until? How long until Truck's character jumps off? A bridge? That's the 1018 01:08:02.920 --> 01:08:05.559 or a clip that's the that's that's the point of the camp. Hey, 1019 01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:08.880 why is it just you? The rest of us want to jump off too? 1020 01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:14.280 Okay, just if re complained, I would try to have him killed, 1021 01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:19.239 like I think. I think I wouldn't be recon just a railroad him 1022 01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:26.600 until he dies. Oh my goodness. But yeah, Matthew Jen you have 1023 01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:29.520 the ideas you guys have. Yeah, you could have three or four players. 1024 01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:31.960 Would that would be sick? I am so down? All right, 1025 01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:35.439 anything else guys want to talk about they or were down to wrap it up? 1026 01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:39.000 I am going to wrap it up because I really have to make your 1027 01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:45.960 g feel and use the bathroom cool. Yeah, I'm good, Thank you, 1028 01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:50.800 guys. I look forward to the d n D and yeah, let's 1029 01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:59.399 go ye what Then a space cowboys bang
