So. We've had quite a few DM volonteers. And we've had a LOT of peeps interested in playing something. So I'm thinking we might want to do two groups, which would be altering. There's a lot of interest in pathfinder so maybe a group for more 'advanced' players or whatever, and another group with a game easier for beginners. And see what happens ?


Both DMs and players, post your interest once more, and this time say which of the two groups would interest you. Hopefully we can end up with two fairly balanced groups


ADVANCED

BEGINNER

I think I'll stick to Beginner, with Dungeon World

Anonymous

I would be greatly interested in GMing for the beginner group. My preferred system is FATE Core, especially for new players, but I can learn any system the players show interest in. I have a lot of experience running games for inexperienced groups, and have developed a number of tricks for teaching mechanics organically through play. I value flexibility in GMing above all else (with the obvious exception of fun) and can adjust to the needs and wants of any group. I have a number of ideas prepared for games of various genres depending on group consensus, and will be looking into all of the systems mentioned here.

Can I tentatively put myself down as being interested in the BEGINNER group, but with a good chance that I might not be able to join every session? If I miss too much, I don't mind being dropped from the game or having someone replace me, but I do want to give this sort of thing a try. Basically, just consider me "low priority" if you need to.

Teraunce Steeldragon

I'd be interested in the advanced group raocow . Sorry I didn't see you ask about this earlier. Expect some really oddball characters from me. I should add my vote goes fully towards Pathfinder.

A Scruff McGruffin

I'm down for DMing the advanced group. I'm very experienced with Pathfinder and have run campaigns that have spanned fighting pirate necromancers to stopping lizard people from infiltrating the highest levels of government. I'm sure I can come up with something fun for the crowd and help advanced players not so familiar with Pathfinder manage the rules of the system.

I would like to be a player for the beginner group. I've played 5e enough to be decent at the style, but I've never played Pathfinder, so I would love to learn this way. I think I know certain things about it, though, so I'm sure I'll learn quickly. This sounds like a ton of fun, yo.

UmbrellaProtege

Can I be put down for a tentative 'yes' for the beginner role-playing crowdsplosion? I don't want to say for sure until I know the schedule, because I have to work long hours/travel a lot in the upcoming months. It sounds fun, I just don't want to say yes for sure and then not be able to make it. But if I do get to do it, I'd do beginner.

UmbrellaProtege

UmbrellaProtege Hey Raocow. Music Castanets: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ync81hyTjhE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ync81hyTjhE</a> I got sick after the Nintendo Switch event and I'm writing this with a high fever with cold medicine under my belt. Turns out touching controllers hundreds of people have been using will do more than just make the controllers respond weird. (Germs was the secret word) So, sorry for being out of it and any weird non-sequiturs! I don't want to step on your toes since that's your job. Except I don't think you're out of it. Go you! Oh man Code Lyoko song from the gun guy last time! It was indeed a French cartoon set in France, although they showed a map of France in the English dub and called it California. I sure watched the hell out of that when I was a young 'un. I enjoyed it at the time, but fun fact: I only started watching because I look surprisingly like the computer dude, Jeremie (minus the giant forehead, I hope) and also was going into programming. And now here I am. Maybe someday a pink lady will come out of my computer and fall in love with me for unclear reasons after being stuck in a computer for years. Good times. To answer your question from last, 1-2 Switch is indeed more analogous to Wii Sports than Mario Party, based on what I've seen. It's just standalone minigames. The reason I compared it to Mario Party though, is because instead of a full bowling/golf game that takes ~15 minutes, you're playing a game where you have to swing a sword at someone and then catch it (or miss), best out of three. So it's a matter of doing the same minuscule action(s) for a minute at most, which I feel is closer to Mario Party minigames on their own. I think the closest analogy would be to majorly slow down WarioWare, slash its graphics budget, and take out 90% of its minigames, which sounds about as fun to play as 1-2 Switch. 0. This isn't a question but you featured heavily in my fever dream yester-today, probably since I wrote that Patapon thing while I was coming down with the sickness. In the dream you had decided to include Patapons as throwaway characters in AT...ATX...S?...the webcomic with the swirly people you draw sometimes, with the SMBX girl everyone forgets in it. (Uhh...sorry!) I was featured as the little guy in my avatar but you named him Umbrotege because the panel was too small, and he said as much in the bubble. I think I had to fight a bell (probs Bellmoore) and also Roo was there, or maybe Roo's Raocow rendition. Lots of cats too. Your main character girl in the samurai hat just saw us fighting and then was like "Huh" and kept a-going. Also, being drawn really hurt while I was coming into existence! 1. If you had limitless money given to you but you could only spend it on traveling to three countries (with a week to stay in each), where would you go? Why would you choose those places? 2. If ? 9 2. A moment of jazzy silence for whatever that question was supposed to be. Or maybe not because copyrights? Don't get flagged, Raocow. No more flags. 2. What was the worst gift you ever got? One Christmas when I was 8 or 9 my parents got me a bundle of sticks wrapped in ribbons because they said it was what someone like me deserved. I always assumed they were switches meant to hit me with (I just went outside and broke them all and cried in my room for the rest of the day after they grounded me for breaking them), but one of my friends pointed out this weekend they may have been calling me a faggot (i.e. a bundle of sticks), which was something they also did a lot without unnecessary symbolism. Either one sounds plausible. 2. Sheath!! Her name might be Sheath. Maybe. 4. Somebody mentioned Katamari last time. I love Katamari! The stage you mentioned, Raorao, was the one I was introduced to the game on. So fun to get all the way up to galaxy sized. Oh this is a question line - what do you hate more; carrots, peppers, or BUGS? The music I posted is from Space Channel 5 (technically, the sequel) which is a very different type of game than Katamari (it's a rhythm game), but has a similarly weird sense of humor, with lots of bright colors and fun gameplay and weird-good music. I've been really enjoying it ever since I saw ProtonJon play the original and found out the sequel was on Steam. You play Ulala (pronounced ooh-la-la), a peppy space reporter for the space news station Space Channel 5 who goes around saving space people from space danger while reporting on it and disco-dancing for better space ratings. Almost everything in-game gets prepended with 'space' and it's hilarious. Michael Jackson is actually in the game playing Space Michael, one of Ulala's bosses, who mainly just scream-sings "HOO!" a lot. It was originally on the Dreamcast. Had you ever heard of/played this game, Raocow? 5. One more SC5 music just because it's the greatest menu theme: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvd2_JBQonQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvd2_JBQonQ</a> 6. Any game that features the line "Oh NOOO! The space bird mistress is being forced to dance!!" is worth checking out in my opinion. Also Ulala is really funny and a great hero of justice and deserves another game. Next time it goes on sale on Steam I recommend it to everyone. I recommend it either way but people like money. = 7. What's a game that you feel it is a crime that it never got a sequel/more sequels? Your answer doesn't have to feature a dead celebrity who may have been a pedophile. I think it was Sheath.

Bellmoore

Heya, raocow! Pause this and guess what the musical genre is going to be before unpausing: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDzVqj7v6A0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDzVqj7v6A0</a> Now I am torn. I do not really have that much play experience and Dungeon World sounds fun to play, but it would also be fun to create a character using my Pathfinder collection. What to do, what to do? If a choice must be made now, I will take the beginner group. Unless there are too many people there, then advanced. New game stuff: If you were playing a post-apocalyptic game with a campaign map based on your home town, would you be tempted to direct your band of mutants to loot your apartment in the hopes of metagaming some cool Old Age artifacts into your possession? (Of course I have a katana under my bed!) Stuff like binoculars and umbrellas are considered artifacts in "Mutant: Year Zero", so chances are you probably have something a group of resourceful scavengers can use. Maybe start a cult centered around the blue haired cyclops? (There are so many idols depicting her, it must mean something!) And now I have an image in my head of a big hulking, glowing dude (based on your descriptions of your usual play style and I rolled luminescence as your random mutation) with a Demo doll on one shoulder and Waluigi on the other. Also, Party Cannon's musical genre is Brutal Death Metal. If you guessed correctly, you are awarded five seconds of smugness. Here's something cute to balance out the music: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BM7HP1cB4y8/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/p/BM7HP1cB4y8/</a>

Okay raocow, I've got your Subway sandwich. It should arrive in the mail soonish. If it does, just assume the post man ate it Also, for some reason, this question disappeared AGAIN. Maybe it's because of using the edit feature in patreon or something. Anyways, how do you feel about DT3 winning both best and worst LP? Any feedback you take away from that?

Z3r0Up (Zero-Up)

If there's music playing, hit that pause button! We're doing more audio shenanigans! So today, we're gonna be doing some Mad Libs! For anyone whose unfamiliar with these, usually you're given a story that leaves out a bunch of keywords. Before you even get to the story, you're prompted to choose certain kinds of words for said story, such as nouns, verbs, or adjectives, though they can also be more specific, such as type of furniture or sports ball. Once you've selected all the words necessary for the story, you plug those words into the proper places within the story, and then read what hilarious and nonsensicle string of sentences you've come up with. In this case, Mr. rao will say these words and then I'll take the clips and make a vid for next week! Now that everyone's informed, let's get started with words! Section 1! 1. A cute animal (other than a cat, that one is too obvious, and say it a few times in different ways, with one or two of them being plural. Also, take note of the animal you choose, as I'll be calling it up later.) 2. A profession or kind of person (like singer or emo.) 3. A verb ending with ing (such as turning.) 4. A kind of building (can be the building itself or the name of a store/company.) 5. An adjective 6. A part of the human body 7. A noun 8. A type of bird (such as seagull.) Section 2!! 1. Your cute animal you choose (again, said a few times in different ways, though none need to be plural.) 2. A food that is typically eaten hot (said once, and then 4 times with no pauses.) 3. An annoying enemy-type from a game (said normally, then the plural form, and then sing it!) 4. A verb 5. A store (either a type of store or a specifically-named store.) 6. A kind of beverage 7. An adjective (first normal and then with -ness at the end, such as cute and cuteness.) 8. Another verb 9. Two nouns (they don't have to be related, but after saying them separately, try saying them as if they were combined into one word.) Section 3?! 1. Cute animal time! (same as last time.) 2. A greeting 3. A dangerous animal (said a few times.) 4. An adjective 5. Another annoying enemy-type 6. Another adjective 7. A noun 8. Yet another adjective 9. One more adjective SECTION 4 1. The cute animal one more time! (same deal as before.) 2. Take a quick, deep breath 3. A profession or type of person 4. A surprised noise or word (stretch it out for about 5 seconds.) 5. Say something polite 6. A noise (like you're trying to say a word, but it isn't coming out right.) 7. An internal organ 8. A number (any number will do.) 9. An action word (such as spin or turn.) 10. Say "patapons" 11. A nationality 12. A video game character 13. Finally, whisper your cute animal into our ears Great! Thanks for taking part in our survey! Pleas wait at least one week for your special "I answered a survey!" video. Thank you and good day, sir/madam. *click*

C'MON EVERYBODY <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwmDUVxBxA0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwmDUVxBxA0</a> In response to you saying that Katamari is at its best when it's not being too gimmicky, I absolutely agree. I have yet to play We Love Katamari, but I've heard that it has a lot of those gimmicky levels, which I guess makes the first game more straightforward and pure. I suggest that you try the original if you're feeling nostalgic, but want more of that pure straightforwardness. Or maybe I'll hold onto that idea for the next patapon vote...? And here's a question to pad out the music a little longer: Paper or plastic? Or do you bring your own canvas bags from home to reduce waste? It's a silly thing to wonder, but I work at a grocery store, so I'm just curious. Okay, you have a great week, raoest of cows!

Dear raocow, call your doctor if you have wizard questions lasting over four hours. the sexican youtube.com/watch?v=R5t8FQJVVn8 1. If you happened upon a Deck of Many Things, would you dare draw from it? 2. What would you do if you were the last man on Earth? 3. Who would win in a fight between Dynamite Headdy and Rayman? 4. What's the funniest place for a cat to get stuck? 5. A powerful wizard breaks into your house one day while you're away to add arcane magic to your keyboard! However, upon examining the mystical keys of power you become acutely aware that pressing one will change your life in a magical way and cause the others to vanish into the cyberether. So pick one, you big dummy! You may choose from @, Alt, Space Bar, Tab, Plus and the Anykey. @: @ lets you discern where exactly you're at with perfect clarity. Perhaps more useful is the fact that it also allows you to decide where other things are at, bending reality to move a thing to a new location. No-one will think this is weird, even if for example you moved the local grocery store to the middle of the road or whatever. Alt: Alt gives you access to a powerful tome. If you ask the tome about a plausible alternate history, then it will fill its pages with vivid details about what could have been. Pictures are optional, and the tome can change its style of writing to whatever you prefer if you ask. Space Bar: The Space Bar grants you the power to summon to a fully functional interstellar spaceship. What it looks like is up to you, but is incapable of being armed. If you show anyone on Earth the spaceship, it'll crumble to dust but you can just resummon it once they're out of sight. It also always has a computer with an in depth list of good intergalactic bars. Tab: Tab lets you start a tab with any recognised business you can think of. You will never be asked to pay your tab. However, you may only have one tab in existence at a time and any existing tabs need to be paid up before starting a new one. Plus: The power of plus allows you to add to anything once a week. You can add to anything from something as simple as your bank account or even as something as vague as how people will receive your actions. The amount of added effectiveness is random, but will always be a positive amount. You cannot use this power to add any more powers to your self or alter existing powers in any way. The Anykey: The Anykey duplicates the effect of any key, determined randomly every hour. The only exception to this is Space Bar's ship, which will last until you won't get messed up by not having it. The chosen key is not guaranteed to be one of the other keys of power so you're more likely gonna end up with something that doesn't do anything a lot of the time but hey ho! Anyway, as to the fascinating virtual tabletop tussles, I'm still a little hesitant but you could put me down as a reserve ADVANCED combatant or something. Yes.

Oh man a double post?! I don't trust the edit feature on here after the last couple weeks... Anyways! Just finished watching the last video and I wanted to mention that I can relate to the whole cheese "my body is rejecting this and I feel sick" thing. For me, it's not cheese per se, but I have an eating disorder that makes trying new foods very tricky and my diet is pretty limited as a result. Basically, if I'm trying something I'm not comfortable with, I tend to get extremely nauseous and it's almost impossible to keep food down. Hell, even if it's something I don't think tastes all that bad, I start to feel sick after a while. I've been slooooooooowly trying to fix this. It's kinda hard work since I have to take things in very small portions, often with other things I do enjoy, and even then sometimes it doesn't work. Meanwhile, the stuff I can eat is mostly fast food junk. My friends find it weird that I can eat that but not "real food". I do want to get better though. It does get frustrating though because often when I'm out with my friends and they want to eat, I don't want to be a burden so I tell them they can pick anything they want. Sometimes I get lucky and there's something on the menu I can handle, but often I just end up not eating. Despite all that, I often like the look of food and watch a lot of cooking videos. I even cook a lot for my family. I just can't eat what I make a lot of the time. Probably not a good thing when you're serving other people. &gt;_&gt;

Also I've got a number of Pathfinder campaigns behind me without dying entirely so sign me up for ADVANCED I suppose.

Lovely Penguin

I'm a noob, so I'll take the beginner group, please.

Willhart

BEGINNER I think. What is the current situation with you and the talkhaus website? How much accesss do you have to it currently, and have you thought about getting a better on some day? Stuff like the wiki is really outdated, and I remember even small things like turning on snowflakes caused trouble. Old admins have not been much around either, though the two new mods are still active. Do you also have ideas to help increase the activity on the talkhaus forums too? I feel like a lot people have moved over to discord, and the mosts for example were smaller than on the past 3 years. Could be an organization thing too though, or people have gotten tired to that. How would the tabletop games be organized? I assume trough discord or something.

That Guy If

BEGINNER, if only because People Who Actually Do These Things™ told me I should start small than go for maximum sillyness

Music: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpTaK2_GZok" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpTaK2_GZok</a> Put me down tentatively as ADVANCED and PLAYER. I have a few Pathfinder character ideas rattling around my head I wouldn't mind trying out. So, Psychonauts is one of the only games you've LPed that I'm already familiar with, from watching slowbeef and pullahoko's LP of it two years ago, and I'm looking forward to seeing how your experience differs from theirs. Although I don't believe in the supernatural, I like paranormal themes and aesthetics in fiction, and Psychonauts puts a great spin on the genre. In the spirit of Psychonauts' paranormal theme, which of the following "Occult" classes from Pathfinder do you find most interesting? Kineticist: Moves matter with their mind, focusing on either one of the four classical elements (such as Fire for pyrokinesis) or on the "fifth element", Aether, which is straightforward telekinesis. Its abilities are at-will "wild talents" instead of spells. The most physical occult class, fighting with powerful blasts and physical attacks. Medium: Communes with spirits, performing seances to benefit their party and channels spirits that grant them a wide range of abilities mimicking different classes. If they're not careful, the spirit can possess them. Each day they can choose a new spirit that gives them different powers. Casts mostly divination spells. Mesmerist: Basically the anti-bard, weakening opponents instead of buffing allies. Has a piercing gaze that can hypnotize, confuse, paralyze, or even control enemies. Casts enchantment and illusion spells and has numerous social skills centered around deception. Occultist: Channels energy through relics and other items with psychic significance. Different types of relics give them access to different kinds of magic. A well-rounded class with abilities such as item reading, summoning or binding, esoteric knowledge, and a wide range of spells. Psychic: The most potent occult spellcaster, equivalent to a cleric or wizard, able to cast up to 9th-level spells. Has a specific discipline or background that shapes their abilities, such as dreams, faith, knowledge, or even being haunted. Has many telepathic abilities such as mind-reading. Spiritualist: Has a connection to spirits of the dead, forming a bond with a phantom who fights alongside them (like an animal companion or eidolon). Their phantom can shift between a ghostly incorporeal form and a physical form made of ectoplasm, and can even meld with its master. Also has a selection of both protective and necromantic spells.

You asked if Finnish uses silent letters, to which the answer is no. But this wouldn't be a patapon if I didn't pull a wall of text answer out of a simple question, so let's unload some language trivia. First, some appropriate background music: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLsVxCgbDfI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLsVxCgbDfI</a> (Letkajenkka is both a song and a dance, a kind of old-timey conga line) The finnish alphabet includes the letters Åå ("Swedish o", not really used much, except if you're Swedish), Ää (Pronounced like the "a" in "and", "änd") and Öö (pronounced like the "ea" part in "Earth", "Öörth"). The letter C is not really used at all, which is why you'll get a lot of points with it in finnish Scrabble (The only one we've come up with that's in any way acceptable is vichy, which I'd say is more of a loanword but that tile has to have some use, goddamnit!). Some figures of speech or whatever: "Disappears like a fart into Sahara", "making a bull out of a fly", "Go where pepper grows" (really far away), "ski into a spruce tree/swamp/Hell" (go away), "feeding a willow rope" (Bullshitting), "Bending out of iron wire" (Really spelling things out. There was a Fingerpori strip with a band playing an "iron wire riff". "Let's play this one 100 more times to make sure people really get it"). I think that's enough for today, have a nice day!

And here's our regular weekly bullcrap! raocowabunga! Linebreak. Anyway, having watched maybe 1/3 of a Cinema Sins video, I think I agree with you: Nitpicking is not funny, it's annoying.

Also, btw BEGINNER
