So I'll dip out then for the beginner group, so we can possible whittle it down a bit to just the one group in each. I'm actually playing 5e every week with my good buddies in real life, so I really don't need to join, as much fun as it would be I do request though that someone tries to record the sessions so we can still listen in to the fun afterwords, because I would super love that.

D

I haven't watched this yet, but I just wanna say the youtube thumbnails for these are pretty great sometimes.

A Scruff McGruffin

Woohoo! I guess I'm DMing the Advanced Group (TM). Get excited! Feel free to ask questions about my DMing style here. I imagine we'll probably do full character creation and laying out the world in out session 0. Start getting some fun character ideas now!

UmbrellaProtege

I'm also fine with sitting out of RPing so there doesn't have to be two Beginner groups, and I wouldn't want plans made around me, especially since I'm a 'tentative' anyway. If there is a way to record/watch them later, even just the one Raocow's in, that'd be fun to see how it goes. Maybe next time!

Yo Raocow! Music Pointillism: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUkXPeL82DI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUkXPeL82DI</a> Yay out-of-context Space Channel 5 thumbnail last week! That sucks that the SC5 music got cut off last time, but what can ya do. Aside from submitting it for the next Patapon vote!! I only might be half-kidding with that too. What's your opinion on rhythm games, Mr. the Cow? Too difficult to LP? Too difficult for you personally? Not your cup of T, U, or V? Speaking of, I have some random Patapon-related questions that I didn't get a solid answer to from looking through the older posts. 0. What are the games left from the last Patapon vote(s) for you to play? I can see the top of your file in these videos has a list, but some of the ones on there (like Dynamite Headdy) weren't among the winners' circle of the vote, but might also be played anyway? 1. I don't have any reason to assume otherwise, but do you plan on doing another vote when the list of last times' winners runs out? On to the normal stuff. 2. What would you say your third favorite type of game is to play, and that's me assuming your first two are platformers and Metroidvanias, just based on channel content? Do you think this third type of game makes for good LPs? 3. It was nice to hear chipmunk time/chibicow again! I hope it didn't cause you any computer issues. 4. What's a skill/pastime that someone can do that impresses you to the point of awe? Something that makes you stop what you're doing to watch them and just go 'wow'. I guess art or sports, particularly specialized Olympics ones, could be go in this category, but even though a lot of that stuff impresses me I'd have to put professional tap dancing at the top of my list. Just having an internal beat being tapped out to the movement going that fast and still staying on rhythm is insane to me. The story I told last time about my parents' Christmas gift was one of the more...intense ones about them, but it is pretty telling. (And a big part of why I loved Mema so much; she was the antithesis of anger, and her house was a safezone I spent a lot of time at.) Just for another example, I can remember once when I was probably around 5 my mom asked me to put away my toys, and I didn't, so she made me carry them all out into the yard and burn them in a big pile. Good thing that was before I had any video games. The good news, in case anyone out there listening to this paid video service is a kid/teen dealing with any anger like that while still stuck at home in baby school, is that once you become an adult you can move away and, without being technically 'estranged', choose to see family maybe once, twice a year on your own terms. College is great and you'll get to grow and develop on your own with friends who share your weird interests, and also there's alcohol. Adulthood is arguably better because there's no homework and you still have friends and alcohol. Distance, growth, and distraction make life a lot more stable and bearable, and living well is the best revenge. 5. Fun fact: Raocow, at some undisclosed point years ago, you referred to elementary school as "baby school" once at random and I don't think I've called it anything else since. Overall I'd say you've greatly affected my speech patterns these last seven years. How do you feel about the inevitable your influence upon peoples' lexicons like that? That there's a little bit of you in thousands of people out there in the world. 6. Have you done much real-world painting in addition to digital art? Do you enjoy it? I also do digital art in my spare time and hadn't painted anything in nearly a decade, and for some reason I decided to get a bunch of painting supplies and canvases together for a paintapalooza. It's actually quite fun and stress-relieving, even if I'm not as good with a brush as I am with a tablet. 7. Who's your favorite classical artist, if you have one? Could you search up and show your favorite of their works on the video? Personally I'm a big fan of Magritte, and surrealism in general. Some great examples are: <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1f/Ren%C3%A9_Magritte_The_Human_Condition.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1f/Ren%C3%A9_Magritte_The_Human_Condition.jpg</a> and <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b9/MagrittePipe.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b9/MagrittePipe.jpg</a> (You see, it's not a pipe, it's just a picture of a pipe hohoho look how clever and artsy I am) But no I really do enjoy that little mental puzzle of finding out what's really being said in every piece.

Dear raocow, Goodness gracious! It seems I avoided the great musical rift by slacking off! music you shouldn't abandon to the void youtube.com/watch?v=6yNRthy6e3g 1. Who would win a fight between Jerry Seinfield and yourself? 2. Who would win a fight between the dynamic duo of Banjo &amp; Kazooie vs The Lost Vikings? 3. Would you rather violate campus policy or Krampus policy? 4. What do you do when you can't sleep? 5. As a result of catching a powerful wizard in the middle of stealing your free time, the wizard council grants you powerful boon! However, all the top boonsters are out for lunch at the time so you have to make due with a less than powerful boon. You may choose from: being able to light a match with one strike, being able to instantly magically cut vegetables with 65% slice efficiency, the ability to turn limited edition products into regular products twice a month, and being able to control what colours and therefore favours you get in any one packet of candy. 6. What did you do to celebrate the millennium? 7. At what time do you have the best ideas?

Willhart

I wonder if we could get some short writings of what happened on each game session? Not sure who would write it, but it would allow people to follow the events better.

Willhart

Also where would the sessions happen? I guess that probably depends on the game played.

Hi, raocow! I didn't know Psychedelic Eyeball did music: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO1lwqu1Op0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO1lwqu1Op0</a> Today was a pretty good day, I won Horikawa's Make a Rad Bug contest! Which was especially nice since earlier that day I lost a bidding war over some Spelljammer books. Do you use any online auction sites like eBay or what-have-you? I frequently use a local auction site to buy my RPG books and have made some interesting discoveries that way. Let's create a backstory for a character! Pick a D&amp;D/Pathfinder character class and race and answer the following questions (set of questions picked randomly from a list): 1. What event did you witness that you consider a bona fide miracle? 2. Which of your foster parents would you turn to in a crisis and why? 3. Why do you care more about what happens to the natural world than what happens to the civilized world? 4. What is the furthest you've ever been from home, and which party member did you meet while you were there? 5. When and why did you quit being an actor? Why don't you tell anyone about this past occupation? The questions are from a book called "5 Questions", a system neutral character creation tool for roleplaying games, which can be found in DriveThruRPG.com And lastly, please try to remember that your car is not a horse and that not all pits have to be yoshi jumped across.

Wow, as if the internet didn't want me to get absolutely devoured enough. I missed my dang train. (It's not your fault) Last week never happened, and I STAND by that opinion.... except for your videos, and the first two days. Those were good. raocow. Hello. How about some music for the soul? (and also food) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNb21VjUKxs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNb21VjUKxs</a> You know what? I love cheese. And hate chocolate... funny how the world works, huh? Do the cosmic strings occasionally make themselves visible? Anyways... put me in an open beginning section for those RPG sessions. I am familiar with storytelling, but have never played a D&amp;D game or its spinoffs. I'm excited to get in on this soon... Thanks for the extra week. I'll use that time to get hold of a working headset... I'll probably making another post about a tabletop game session myself, so keep your eyes out for that. Questions: 1.) So, how was your last week? And this week? (Okay, better question this time) 2.) A powerful wizard cooks up a stew. Do you trust this wizard enough to drink it? 3.) I still prefer forums whenever I can. Does that make me an old-timey guy? 4.) THROUGH THE FIRE AND THE... never mind. Have a question instead. What is the first thing that comes to mind when thunder booms in the sky? 5.) If you had a special fighting move, what would it be called? 6.) Did the disco ever come back, or is it still dead? 7.)What is the best idea for a calendar? I'll have more questions when I get back to you from my friends. Of course, all of you patapons are also my friends... I'm just referring to a different set of friends.

Got some music this week <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHsHJn7lH3g" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHsHJn7lH3g</a> 1) So, on a scale of 1-10, how excited are you for Baseball Spring Training?! Please say 11. 2) Yeah, I'm a bit overly enthusiastic about baseball. Is there any event or annual occurrence for you that you always get excited for no matter what? 3) What's your opinion on mermaids/mermen?

Mikkofier

For absolutely no reason, here's some place names that also happen to be random finnish words: Ankara (harsh/strict), Lima (slime), Nauru (laughter), Korea (colorful/beautiful/opposite of garish), Oman (one's own). Yup. That sure was trivial. Let's just go to the music: <a href="https://youtu.be/xcW1It_ZW7M" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/xcW1It_ZW7M</a> And then questions: 1) If you were to decide to run as showrunner for MaGLX3, presumably after hitting your head especially badly, what would your "thing" be? 2) If you were shopping for people's memories, what kind of memories would you be looking for? 3) If you could construct your own mental world, what would it be like? 4) Who wants a body massage? 5) Who would win in a fight, the You right now or the You yesterday at the same time? 6) What kind of car is the coolest? 7) A powerful machinist offers you a machine that can do any one task perfectly. What is that one task? A cat: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Rmvfgdq.gifv" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/Rmvfgdq.gifv</a>

Hi there, raocow! I don’t know if peeps remember me, I’m kinda back(ish) after a brief leave due to stress. ~~questions~~ I’ve been trying to kinda mentally wrap my head around the extended ASMT-ASMBXT universe plot.. And I had some questions, but don’t really know who’s the best person to ask! ((so, if you don’t know the answers to some of these, maybe someone watching does ^--^)) Is the identity of demo’s master ever revealed? (At the beginning of ASMT, Demo speaks to a ‘???’ who is that? What do they do? And where is that space station-y thing we see Demo in?) Also, is the plot of ASMT connected to the same universe as the ASMBXT set of games? -unrelated question- Is the joke, “Is your refrigerator running? You better go catch it!” able to be translated French in any way that retains the pun on ‘running’? is there an obvious substitution for the pun that comes to mind? Anyways! Thank you for everything, i really really appreciate the moments of uplifting spirit I get from watching these videos-- even when I don’t get to watch all of them these days, they are a great distraction and a much needed stress relief!!! Please take care

26/02/2017 Hey there Raocow~, been reading good japanese translated to english web novels lately? I was a bit late with the summary last time, and things, so here's 2 weeks of summary. A whole load of stuff happened. One new comer, a monk by the name of Aarav got infected with vampirism when on a bounty mission with Jiklok. He is currently locked in a magic nullification sector of the town jail. Marik met a naga by the name of Syrithia, and ended up in a relationship with her. However, due to the sudden appearence of Grendel from Marik's home caused issues. Grendel had a bounty for Marik to be captured and brough back without questioning, accusing him of murdering the king, which is Marik's father. Meanwhile, Marik lashed out at Grendel, calling him a traitor. Sy saw this happen, and decided to break up with him, though hinted that if they managed to mend the trust between them, they could get back together. Amelia sacrificed her phoenix fire, so she doesn't die of the curse of ice she has. Unfortunately, that decision caused some tension between her and her sister. Other than the monk, there were a few other new comers as well. A centaur named Yui, who has a bunch of simple firearms. A half human half chameleon girl by the name of Taki and a Thiefling by the name of Zahira. Finally, update on the Dragon Labyrinth group. Fassad, 2 kobolds, and Bernard got hit by some gas that caused some transformations. Fassad got pregnant with a weird chimera child, one of the kobolds got temporary random teleportation ability when stressed and the other mutated into a drake. Bernard got superhuman healing ability as well, though that didn't save him from something later. So, at one point, the group came across grave guards, their bones scattered around and was given instructions to reassemble the the skeletons. Humans and scalefolks have quite a strained relationship already, and the scalefolk told the rest of the party to stay put while they did the job. However, Bernard decided, against every one else asking him to stop, decided to try and help. To stop him, the drake decided to swallow him. It would have ended there had Bernard's player randomly decided that he somehow got one of the bones in his pockets, which snapped when the drake swallowed him. That angered the grave guards, and they decided to send Bernard's soul to the Obsidian Desert. They gave Bernard's scalefolk companion, Ranjinja a stone which contains Bernard's soul, so he can return after his punishment. The group found a place they could set up a portal back to town, after dealing with a group of usurpers, which is using that same area to summon a demon to assist in taking down the true owners of the dungeon. Fassad and Ranjinja left the group back to town, and Fassad gave birth to the creature that night. She wishes to raise the child despite how it looks, though. After that, the dungeon group encountered two shrines, one under the scaled god Noctis and the other worshiping the Usurper, each one summoning grave guards back from the grave to fight each other. The group pushed the usurper's forces back, and destroyed the shrine with only a bit of damage to Flyin and the drake. That's all for now, have a little question. Have you played pay to win kind of games before, and do you think they should even be a thing at all? I hope you peeps all have a good day~.

Dearest raocow: 1. What does Psychedelic Eyeball's accent sound like to you? (For reference for anyone that's not aware, here's what he sounds like [warning, language]: <a href="https://youtu.be/buUM916QRJk?t=4m9s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/buUM916QRJk?t=4m9s</a> ). Like, does it sound like any particular region, or high/low class, or what? Just curious! Music (after that youtube link, in case you clicked it): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKYNqfx2ahc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKYNqfx2ahc</a> 2. Did you have any classes in school (at any level) about technology, computers, electronics, or similar? How many? Ever learn any programming, or anything like breadboarding, soldering, etc? 3. Do you know anyone that can't stand the Binding of Isaac? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one (either playing or just looking at; art, sound, and general plot/premise are just "ugh" to me).

Zephyr Dragon Lord

(as a prelude, this previous music is actually great for highlighting my own, haha...) I'm just going to say... the weekend here actually sucked. I should have known it would suck as soon as you got a chance to DESTORY THE WORLD... and did mediocre. (Still enjoying that Psychonauts playthrough greatly...) Long story short, brother still has at least two mental conditions, they both flared up, we all suffer. The end. Man, what a terrible story. I have the information for the tabletop module, but it's in a manual form... and that takes a bit of time to interpret between work and all of that. It'll be with you by next week. Good news is... I joined the Discord! Now to find the complementary computer cord! Just a simple question of melancholy this time. l.) What do you do to forget something that you absolutely don't want to remember? (I play video games, which is probably why I'm here in the first place, and not a social outcast...) And I'll be fine, raocow. My luck stat's real high, so this situation will sort itself out in a jiffy. You continue having a great day and week. Hopefully I come back to you with higher spirits, and finished paperwork...

swirlybomb

Well, these may not seem particularly relevant since I missed last week, but... Yes, automatic audio-balancing is a valid "minor convenience" power! Hooray! There were two different Banjo-Kazooie tunes linked that week too... Have you ever played Banjo-Kazooie yourself? Is it a game you would consider playing on-camera? (say if it was Patapon-voted) And uh... I really didn't expect your "you are a good storyteller" comment, so thanks a lot! Hopefully the stories remain interesting... One more wintery tune for the end of winter: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X3IPIY7DJs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X3IPIY7DJs</a> As for ye olde D&amp;D tale... At this point, we had a few people officially drop out and started getting a slow trickle of newcomers. Since my character was clearly in with the wrong group thematically, I was switched back to the original group from the first session (in which we were making a delivery but found our contact had been attacked on the way, so we went off the path to search). I think a gnome Bard named Bard ("Yeah yeah, never heard THAT one before...") joined Dez and Parfait's campaign of bloodshed instead. So Luxis joined back with the party of Ialto, the half-elf Bard that thinks he's the reincarnation of a great hero; Phonix, an elf Ranger lady that's apparently suspicious of everyone; and Jasper Cozypants, the wacky old dwarf Wizard that wants to go on an adventure despite most of his spells being party tricks. We were joined by a newcomer, a dwarf Barbarian lady named Torga, but Phonix and Jasper were actually absent this time, so it was quite a small group. Ialto's player filled me in on what happened during my absence: upon reaching a cave, the party's former Barbarian (who had to drop out) noticed a smoke-chute hole thing on the top of the hill; and rather than go in the intended entrance, said "OKAY I'M CLIMBING UP THERE GUYS", dragging the rest of them along. They dropped in and fought the 'boss' of the dungeon, a bugbear whose name escapes me, and essentially started working their way through the dungeon backwards! And Phonix and Jasper got in a big argument about how useless Jasper is (their players are even married IRL!). But since all but Ialto were absent this time, we pretended that it was only Ialto and Luxis that did it, I guess...? Anyway, Torga found herself waking up elsewhere in the cave, stripped of her weapons and tied up along with some unconcious guy. A big goblin (his name was Yemmech) was guarding them, but not paying attention at the moment because they were tied up, looking down at something below the ledge they were on. She effortlessly snapped the ropes and tried to sneak her way over to a chest holding her stolen equipment, but clumsily knocked everything over and alerted Yemmech. He tried to take her down again, but she gave him the ol' one-two punch to the face before grabbing her weapons, so he called for help and not just one or two, but FIVE other goblins came up the stairs wondering "Nyeh? What's going on?" Meanwhile, Ialto was leading Luxis towards this commotion he was hearing- I apparently couldn't see or hear a thing because I rolled about three or four consecutive 1s on Perception! Seeing a horde of goblins on the stairs up ahead, he played a power chord (Shatter spell) for massive damage on the whole group (the DM's response when he realized how much damage was "Are you freaking kidding me!? Well, crap."). Three of their heads just exploded instantly, and the other two fled in fear (we just let them go past 'cause there was no reason to chase them). Luxis ran up the stairs to see Yemmech and Torga starting a tussle, and tried to tell Yemmech to surrender; but since he was the first one to come up the stairs, Yemmech assumed he caused the mass-head-popping and refused (Luxis was actually unaware of what happened and had a hard time explaining he wasn't involved). Ialto came up too, and Yemmech started ranting and complaining about being left alone and how much he hates the boss and is sick of working for him. Between the two of us, we were able to convince Yemmech that we didn't mean any ill will toward him, and Ialto gave him a doll and some treasure found in the boss's room to prove that he was dead and no longer had authority (noticeably evading the head-popping matter). Yemmech was a bit uneasy but believed that we'd let him go freely and started to leave... but Torga was still mad as heck for being kidnapped and knocked him out with her hammer! Oh geez! Once she calmed down we stabilized him and left some supplies behind for him as an apology, and woke that unconcious guy to find that he was one of the guys we were supposed to contact! His pal was nowhere to be found, though... Afterward, the DM said he was quite surprised at how we let Yemmech go, since most people would've fought/killed him. It's kind of hard to want to kill a character once you give them a personality &gt;_&gt; Sorry, another long one... the next couple should be shorter! Two questions that might potentially have the same answer: -What's a game that you really wanted to play as a kid, but never got the chance to? (or didn't get to play for a long time) -What's a game that you'd like to play now, but can't because of time constraints or other reasons?

swirlybomb

Holy cow that was longer than I realized, sometimes I don't know how to cut out stuff to shorten it...

You Are NOT PREPARED!! until you start the music. MUSICs, 2 of them because lots of questions (2 of my favorite boss musics) youtube.com/watch?v=6OX0k_ffVWs youtube.com/watch?v=ob-2kfWxDiE QUESTIONS 1. How can someone who uploads videos daily be so bad at a weekly video? (atleast put out a message in the morning if you're going to do the video early again) 2. Are you also going to make a doodle of your FATE character (and dungeon world character)? 3. To clarify from the casino trip (you didn't read what was in the description), I had miscounted the spins, so at the end of spin 9, you had $3.35, and then I took one spin for what was going to be for me, which won $4.20, so 3.35 minus 50cent plus 4.20 = $7.05, so yet again you come out on top. 4. I suppose with 3 rpgs, that's kinda the C Side now? I'd assume if you happen to hit $1500 a month, you wouldn't have the time for anything else. Also, looking way back to when I 1st started watching your videos, I couldn't have expected playing a tabletop rpg with you, mostly given how little I talk. Like seriously, the majority of my conversations with people consists of 'mhm' and 'k'. (but I'm a good listener) 5. Which do you dislike more: throwing up or having diarrhea? 6. If you could have any title added to your name, what would it be? (doesn't have to be a real title, like raocow The Firelord) 7. I take it you've never gone out and rented a canoe before. 8. What is your favorite level in vanilla SMW? 8b. If you can recall, what is your favorite person-made SMW level, be it from a full hack or contest. 8c. If you can recall, what is your favorite SMBX level? (to me, the thing that I remember most clearly of all smbx is still the writing in the level with the angry toad who says 'IM ANGRY. ANGRIER THAN THE SUN. FROM THE DESERT LEVEL IN SUPER MARIO BROS 3' (I was going to link to that part, but I can't find which video it was in)) 9. So who's up for going to egg and TP UmbrellaProtege's parent's house? (tp stands for toilet paper for those who may not know) 10. The pretty good but not quite great wizard tries to solve your rampant wizard problem, but fails and only makes it worse, you now have about 30 wizards in your home fight over who gets to place a curse/boon on you next. What do you do to try and sort this out? 11. Do you have any of my christmas candy left? If so, better eat it, chocolate gets worse with age. 12. If you were to design your own giant robot, what would your main inspirations be from? What would its main purpose be? 13. What emotion do you feel when thinking back on angry cow moments? 14. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
