    Andy's commitment to getting his character killed by disregarding magical consequences because Morven only knows magic, already died once, no big deal, and is playing with house money in the form of somebody else's body is true roleplaying integrity.

    It's awesome how the atmosphere can be so dark and foreboding, while we still get to enjoy the silly moments of chaos and comedy from each person (both in and out of character).
    Deadlands had a similar vibe of organic flow between comedy and horror. Deadlands seemed memorable (to me) mainly because of the exceptional characters Andy created, and how they interacted with the players. So far Wyrdwood feels memorable due to the uncertainty and mystery on many levels.
    While in Deadlands I was mainly eager for the showdowns with awesome baddies, in Wyrdwood I feel like we're all being taken on a journey and I'm fascinated with where it will take us.

    I really like what Andy is doing with Robin, my hope and kind of expectation is that the commoner will develop into a surprisingly capable adventurer in his own right, get a subtle dynamic going where going all sorcerer on thing often turns out worse than the frail alternative.
    In general I like what they have picked for themselves. Luke has a cool gimmick to riff off of, Ellen taking a page out of Barnaby's book and evolving it, and I think Mike has really set himself up to have the kind of story-driven role Eggbert somewhat randomly evolved into.

      We've seen that Morven responds negatively to crowds and is often rather quick to violence. I suspect the party may be more inclined to have Robin around for social situations (slightly ironic given Morven is the more charismatic of the two in a dread sorcerer kind of way). Is it weird I kind of think if Robin were to have a class it should be warlock with Morven being his patron? (Also Jane's character is cool too imo, always remember to be grateful for your supports.)

      In Johnny's videos with Luke when he was getting ready to DM himself (I think on Dicebreaker?), I remember Johnny saying that he would write up a page that started the episode (location, people, interactions, etc.) and then have bullet points for the major story beats, but otherwise, wouldn't block out anything more. They would let the players fill in the rest and I love that mentality.

      Too much time managing inventory in Bethesda games will give anyone some skewed opinions on how much stuff weighs.

    I am very much late to these admittedly, I've been watching them over the evening I'm writing this (it's gone 20 past 2 in the morning and I've been struggling to sleep and tried to listen to this to help me 😅) but I absolutely love this Wyrdwood series so far. And the music is so chilling and yet beautifully eerie and perfect at the same time. Love all of your characters, your channel and all 6 of you are amazing, keep up the amazing work! 😊

    Feeding the algorithm, but really want to stress how good this is. All aspects of it. The game, the PCs, the DM, and the filming and sound quality.
    I normally have actual plays on and they are background noise to other tasks. This one was two cups of tea, and concentrating on it.

    Love seeing Andy interacting with the Sorcerer mechanics, but somebody please tell him that he didn't need to spend all of his sorcery points - 1 point lets him protect a number of creatures equal to his Charisma modifier (which I think is four).

    As an avid fan of Oxventure, I’ve always loved Johnny’s talents for leading any TTRPG, but this season feels like a truly epic tale in the making, i haven’t felt suspense like this since Stranger Things season 2

    This is _so_ good, y'all, I just have to say. Had the same concerns that a lot of people had - still attached to the old gang, missing the wacky, improvisational world of Geth, and all that - but the first episode had already dispelled 'em all, and this one's even better. I simultaneously can't wait for the first Debt envelope, and also...not, since I really don't want anything bad to happen to these folks, haha. (But, for real, this mechanic is _absolutely_ brilliant.)

    Morven speedrunning her debt, meanwhile Andy only rolling for debt once opens up the possibility of Robin having to take the heat for it if he happens to be active if/when they get a card 👀

    • @nikkianzalone2914
      @nikkianzalone2914 3 месяца назад +3

      I imagine it largely will depend on what the envelope says but the effects won’t trigger until they next time they use magic so Morven will be in the driver’s seat

    I love all the characters and story so far, but most of all Happen and his homebrew Cadance dice! Whenever he's like "Phrase Cadance!" I'm always questioning whether it's technically a "good" 20 roll of a "bad" 1 roll, though neither of those matter to him as long as he as his faith and a result! Love all the characters so far, not much into horror normally but this is great so far!
