Here we have Dungeon World session 2, the first 'full length' session for Dungeon World and it's honestly pretty amazing. It's like a perfect session. It's really good I think. Yes.


And then, a surprise Shadowrun session 0! I guess Fuse had some extra time and he was all hey let's make a thing in the f-zero universe. using shadowrun.

It's an episode 0 so it's just us looking at menues so I don't know how great a listen it is, but man is shadowrun FASCINATING. I'm looking forward to actually playing. The recording is split into two, and there is a fla and a mp3 version.


And then, the usual.

Dear raocow, 10 of the best locally thought wizard questions! a song with bird noises youtube.com/watch?v=igHOaMOzzUo 1. Have all the weird musical links and videos people have forced you to watch gotten you any strange notable recommended vids? 2. Who would win a fight between Plok and Rayman? 3. Do you think we'd ever see a return of you goofing around with flash games for a spell or has the patreon elite voting system scuppered that kinda video? 4. If you were inclined to quote someone as inspiration for problem solving, who would be your first port of call? 5. A bunch of powerful wizards appear and say they'll stop pestering you but only if you finally beat MariAri! What are you going to do? 6. If an evil empire suddenly sprang up overnight and took over the world, would you join the inevitable resistance or just go along with it? 7. A powerful wave washes over you granting you mastery over one single term or concept with the word wave in it. What do you pick? 8. Is jumping and kicking a guy the best finishing move or you do possibly think the good ol' diving kick can be surpassed? 9. How good are you at the fine art of shadowpuppetry? 10. How good are you at giving advice to people?

I'm jumping on the early train this week! Music: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRSr0GprIIw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRSr0GprIIw</a> 1) If you had to participate in a eating competition, would you prefer to eat as much as you can a time limit or to try to eat a set amount of food as fast as you get (i.e eat as many pancakes in 10 minutes vs eat 50 pancakes as fast as you can). What would be your food of choice and how well do you think you'd do? 2) I'm going to Montreal this summer. Have you ever been? If you have, were there any good stops you can recall that might be fun to visit? Food recommendations are welcome. I might not be able to eat there but I know other people might. 3) Favourite Disney movie?

Curse you, raocow, and your unpredictability! Just plain music: youtube.com/watch?v=gxIBq8NIIag (still a 6 sec. loop remixed into a full thing) Qwagajuus: (at this point I can just type whatever) 1) Object Dreams is a tumblr where the owner has fed some text into a predictive text interface and used it to write some bizarre texts (for example, for the one you read last week the source was "hundreds of amazon reviews for fire extinguishers"). Anyway, with that bit of exposition out of the way, let's get semi-but-not-really-even-that political! objectdreams.tumblr.com/post/153754597444/1-star-review-of-dreams-from-my-father-written 2) Has all this rpg business affected the theoretical mst/riffing/whatever term we ended up using for the mystery science theater 3000 thing (heck, I'm all for "a mystery science thing" or AMST), last mentioned like two years ago or something? 3) Let's try this way: What video game property would it be really hard to screw up adapting into an animated series? 4) Why do you call fuzzies Richard? 5) Is there something you wish wasn't spoiled to you? 6) Is there something you wish was spoiled to you? 7) Ok, one more Object Dream and we're done? Surrealist noir: objectdreams.tumblr.com/post/157223468594/film-noir-scene-written-using-a-predictive-text 8) A powerful sfinx turns you into a cat. How do you feel about this turn of events?

Gentle music: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgIyVD4bA54" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgIyVD4bA54</a> 1. My opinion on t-shirts (that is, ones I would probably buy/wear): - One with the cutesey raocow character (the one with the blue/green R shirt) - A shirt that _is_ the blue/green R shirt (oh man such a complex design) - something something saucepan (or "raocow saucepan") - The "howdy" shirt! I forget exactly what its design is 2. Man, your pronunciation of "guillatine" really threw me for a loop. I don't think I've ever heard someone in the US pronounce it seriously as "gill-a-teen"; I didn't realize that was a real pronunciation (but it looks like it is). I've only ever heard it as "gee-a-teen", which I guess is kinda partway between your French pronunciation and your English pronunciation.

argh, razzin frazzin patreon; accidentally submitted too early. I meant to add these: 3. Pronounce the following words/names, please: - gaussian - Reuters - Tycho Brahe - gif - Pret a Manger (this is a restaurant or food shop or something) - experiment - February - strawberries - Nguyen 4. You're in the Eastern time zone, right? (I feel like I should already know this but somehow I don't or forgot) 5. Have you ever watched an LP where you wanted to (or actually did) yell at the screen? (This is not related to any recent events! I don't know if you did anything yell-worthy around the time you're reading this :)

What's down, raocow! Music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=reOLeLX0Q9U Additional Ars Magica information: Vis is pronounced WEES Covenants are generally established in areas with a magical aura in order to gain a benefit to magical workings. The base you described (a spot between time and space) is basically just a covenant located within a regio (REH-ghee-oh, with a hard g), which is a special form of aura that has several layers. The lowest level of the aura is connected to the mundane world. Regiones (reh-ghee-OH-nays, also with hard g) are rare, but a covenant located at least partially within one isn't too uncommon. Now, what would constitute a proper project for an experienced magus would be to figure out a way to reliably create regiones. This would probably require lots of lab work, visits to different already existing regiones and several catastrophic botched attempts at creating one. Plenty of story material there, especially since regiones tend to be inhabited by creatures attuned to their type of aura. Something different: Lets say that, while adventuring, you lose a hand. Since you have managed to earn a favor with a powerful wizard, you have two choices: either you suck it up and maybe get a hook hand or you ask the wizard to regenerate your hand. What do you do? The catch is that magic in this world works by tapping other dimensions and drawing their laws and materials into your world. So, in order to regrow your hand, the wizard would replace it with the appendage of an other dimensional creature that is capable of regeneration. It's unlikely that your new hand would look remotely human (and it might behave in inhuman ways) and there is a change that you might be turned wholly into a nameless creature, an insane hybrid being. The real question is of course whether the wizard cares about you enough to explain the above to you :) The above scenario was inspired by Praedor, a Finnish rpg that unfortunately hasn't been translated into English. Praedor is set in Jaconia, a circular land with a surface area roughly a third of the United States, which is completely surrounded by Borvaria, a seemingly endless ruined city. If you are familiar with the novel Roadside Picnic, you could describe Jaconia as a safe area surrounded by a massive Zone. Everything in Borvaria is toxic (except the air, mostly), there are monstrous predators, packs of nameless creatures and tears in reality from which spill out the natural laws of strange dimensions. But, there is also treasure which could set an adventurer for life with a single good haul.

Prithee tell, Raocow! Music Jamboree: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odWsuzoy6Uo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odWsuzoy6Uo</a> High praise is what Trails in the Sky (last week's gushworthy gushfest) deserves. It is a very story-heavy game, so probably not something directly up your alley (at least definitely not for LPing), but maybe someone else listening could find and like it, and also I think it's appreciation-worthy just for how well it's written. I was just hooked within the first five minutes of dialogue, personally. Neat stuff about the Neverhood in Russia! And fun fact about Mayo the Mayo Mayo's shared olivier salad recipe last time: Olivier Salade was my French name in my French class! I think I even signed the story you read that way. I just picked Olivier as a French person name on its own as my French class identity (another immersive learning thing, we had to be different people in that class) and then picked up the "Salade" part when my teacher mentioned it was a recipe and people just started calling me "Salade" anyway. I've actually made it myself before, it's pretty tasty. Closer to something like chicken salad/tuna salad than an actual lettuce salad, and that is okay by me. I don't have much on the to-share block this week, but may as well go with something: ever heard of Sense8? It's a Netflix show where eight people from around the world suddenly can, without their control, experience everything the other seven people are sensing. Thoughts, smells, pain, pleasure, noises, and they can even "visit" each other mentally, basically becoming an interactive projection into the other person's world that only they can see. The takeaway is that, eventually, any one of them have access to the other people's skills if they are available and can "possess" them in time. So for a straightforward example the Korean businesswoman who is a boxer can help the Kenyan bus driver beat up thugs who threaten him and his passengers, but only if she's not helping someone else already/asleep/preoccupied, etc. Sense8 was made by the Matrix directors and it is actually pretty good. I got recommended it by a coworker and now I'm happy there's a second season coming out shortly. The fact that none of it is fully under their control and they have to sort of figure the whole thing out while (at least some of them) are thinking they're going crazy makes it a little more interesting. Maybe that's what people crave out of superhero shows -- people finding out magical things about themselves -- and then the audiences get bored with watching as soon as the characters know what's up and it goes into the familiar rut of superhero stuff before petering out after... an extremely successful 6+ seasons for some reason. Hopefully this doesn't go too hard down that cliche route. Plus since it doesn't have to be rated for TV, the "joys" of unintentional orgies every time any of them sleep with their significant other get to happen all the time. Way too many times. Mmm, nice and awkward TV. I get the feeling that that, of all things, was why this particular coworker enjoyed Sense8 so much, considering his main comment about how good Game of Thrones was is "Boobs!" (and he's nearly 40) 0. If someone else in the world could have access to any and all of your skillz like in Sense8, what sort of personal crisis do you think you could help them through? 1. What sort of people would you want on your Sense8 team to help with specific situations you have to deal with in your life? 2. When you worked in an office setting did you have any coworkers who were extremely maladjusted? I guess that fits for classmates or anyone else in life you have to deal with. Anyone you could just look at and wonder how the hell they've gotten as far as they have in life with the way they are? Your favorite color is green! Saved myself a question. 3. Do you ever get into moods where you really want to see or make a lot of things in a certain color/color combination that isn't your favorite color? My favorite color is red but I've not been able to get over painting/drawing in a combination of blue and pinkish-purple in recent months, or watching art or imagery slathered in those colors. It's not just this watercolor video playing in the background either, even, it started well before I saw this and it just happened to fit into that niche perfectly. I even bought a bedspread and entire bed set decked out in those colors. 4. If you were a fourth little pig, what would your house be made out of? 5. Have you ever seen a food, or a piece of media, or anything you have a negative opinion about and said to yourself, "You know what? I want to feel the opposite way about that, or at least give it a shot!" Something like maybe if you don't like pickles, just adding pickles to a burger or a salad to see if it's changed, or maybe trying to convince yourself it's not actually bad? Well in reference to that last question, I recommend it. Over the last few years I've Stockholm syndrome'd myself into liking pickles, olives, hot peppers, hot sauces, sour cream, Scotch, dark chocolate, and a bunch of other things. Expand your horizons! Sometimes it's nice. 6. Out of all the sorts of public places you have to go out and interact with to live on this earth as a human being (grocery stores, post offices, banks, restaurants, etc.), which is your least favorite place to go to? Why? Being from a teeny rural town and having moved to one of the busiest metropolitan areas of America, I have come to despise grocery stores and any big-box stores for being constantly packed to the gills with people. Being in those pulsating crowds has become TERRIBLE. Sometimes at my apartment I just look around and realize we're all sort of packed in like sardines in these buildings and it's TERRIBLE. And I'm not even in the city proper! Long story short, I recently REALLY GET why you don't want to go to a convention, Cowrao, and casting it against my grocery store experiences I'm rethinking my own desire to do so one day. At least, unlike grocery store folk, people at a convention wouldn't bat an eye at me carrying a Master Sword or Monado around. That's about the only net positive though. 7. What's the best vacation you've ever taken? 8. What's the best vacation you've -never- taken? Thanks for the vids as always! When you're done with this reading, assuming it hasn't happened on its own, can you advance/rewind the video to maybe about 20 seconds before the end? Just so you can see the end result of the painting. It's a pretty good painting for what it is, I think. What do you think?

Zephyr Dragon Lord

You can spell session right, Zach? Jeez. That Mega Man 2 dragon is a good first boss to gush over... It's pretty nice. 10 years is a decade, by the way. It comes up a fair bit. Oh, and calling me what I said in the question is in itself lazy. ...But then again, I hardly deserve pity. I have procrastinated on a 4000 word essay, and now my back's against the wall. But you know what? Music helps that, too. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUuE2YSBHo4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUuE2YSBHo4</a> Alright. Questions. 1.) When does something cross the threshold from being fun, but brutal to being not worth the struggle difficulty-wise? (Such as that final Super Cat Planet postgame, for reference) 2.) What Patreon tabletop group do you look forward to the most each weekend? 3.) ...That Rock Paper Wizard chose paper. Too bad, you both tied. Try again? 4.) A powerful wizard gave you the power to write one essay of your choosing at least reasonably well in an extraordinarily short amount of time. What subject do you choose for it? 5.) You've been through a ton. Keep it up! But really, does someone need encouragement? Because I can give them my all. 6.) I want to tell you something amazing. This boss that the song is about. The community has a pattern down on him. Guess how long it took. 17 YEARS. I don't know about you, but that is an incredible timespan in which a boss's pattern has been figured out. And by the way, that's Quick Man. The incredibly fast one who seems to go so fast that he doesn't have a pattern. If there's one thing we can't beat, though... it's this great music. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G98baqaSmBY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G98baqaSmBY</a> raocow... I think I can relate to this music. Take of this what you will. 8.) What do you stand for, really? Yes, in terms of philosophically. 9.) To follow up with one of the questions in there, what public places do you mind going to the least? But yeah, even coming from someone with a bit of an urban upbringing, big stores can be the worst. Small time ones are better to shop in, if they have what you need. 10.) What do you want the most right now? First of all, let me say to you that I hope your day and week will be nice, because this next thing I have in store leaves no quarter for comments. 11.) You know... I have something more surprising than Quick Man's reign of terror having an end. And yes, there is no end to the amplification. ...Remember that rumor that Mew's under the truck by the S.S. Anne? Have you come into contact with this before? ...It isn't true. As you might have guessed. But.... BUT.... Someone has made it exist. You may watch this whenever, but be sure you do... This also goes to the patapon people listening in. <a href="https://youtu.be/i2x3pIvVnP4?t=88" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/i2x3pIvVnP4?t=88</a> (Start at about 3:30 if you want to skip the setup) And that is how all of those childhood rumors became true. *mic drop*

fart Music request: Play us a song that you really like and/or never get tired of? Not sure if roleplay tales are still "a thing" (especially since you're in so many groups yourself now), so let me know if this is getting tiresome... Well, our D&amp;D sessions typically seem to only involve a single encounter, but this one had TWO encounters. Crazy, I know! Torga was absent, but we had a new player; Toby, a short-tempered half-orc Paladin seeking to prove his independence from his orc heritage. And Jasper Cozypants picked up some actual attack spells from his level-up, since he felt useless in a fight without them. After all the owlbear business last time, Jasper rolled out his sleeping bag for the night while Phonix took watch. Even though Luxis took the bullet for everyone, they decided, "Eh, just prop him up against a tree, he'll be fine." A bit down the road, Toby was wandering all by himself when he heard some noises coming from the trees nearby. He growled and shouted to scare off whatever it was, but instead that made a bunch of stirges fly out and swarm him! For anyone unaware, stirges are weird gross fleshy vampiric squirrel/bat-looking things... super gross! He managed to fend off a couple but got quickly overwhelmed and tried to flee. Or rather, he tried to see if he could jump in a nearby puddle to shake them off, but it was hardly a foot deep, so uh... yeah. Luckily, Phonix spotted the silhouettes in the dark and ran over to investigate. Luxis happened to wake up at the same time and saw Phonix running off, so I checked to make sure Jasper was alright and followed. We caught up just in time to shoot/smite the last couple before Toby went down. He was really grateful for the save, and we invited him to join us back to camp. But when we got back... now a horde of stirges were sneaking up on the sleeping Jasper. Whoops! But we had the drop on them and managed to pick them all of at a range just in the nick of time- Phonix even managed to fire an arrow straight through one and hit a second behind it! Now all safe (and Jasper awake), Phonix remembered that light keeps stirges away, so we should make a fire. The prospect of "Fire!" got Jasper real excited and he cast his new Burning Hands spell right at the grass around us. Whoops! We all had to scramble to contain it before the whole area went up in flames, but at least we had a (very large) fire now... ...In the morning, Phonix gathered up all the stirge corpses to make breakfast with (ew!) and we continued on to our sidequest destination. We reached the ruins of a very old castle (VERY old, considering all that's left was part of a tower, a couple walls, and a well) and Luxis and Toby could sense the stench of undeath nearby. Phonix went up to the tower and heard noise on the other side, so she used Hail of Thorns and fired an arrow straight up so it would land inside. Unsurprisingly, there was a lot of commotion and groans inside, and then about a dozen zombies started shuffling out! (this was clearly the undead situation we heard about back in town) There was a tent set up in the middle of the area, and a necromancer came out and started herding the zombies back in. He didn't see us because we stayed hidden, and I was apprehensive about trying to fight so many enemies at once, but everyone was gung-ho about it, so... well, big brawl time! Toby went around the wall to try and flank them while we started shooting, and the necromancer now turned to send the zombies after us. As they advanced, I stayed in front to keep them at bay while Phonix and Jasper fired away, but the zombies proved extremely resilient. Instead they decided to start shooting the necromancer because if he was dead, then they wouldn't be under his control anymore. Toby tried to imitate Phonix's earlier trick shot to spear two at once, but... it bounced off of one and went straight down the well, succeeding only in getting some of the zombies to come after him instead. While Toby ran back toward us, I FINALLY got the chance to be the cool guy. A Turn Undead drove off the whole horde that was around us, and Toby charged at the necromancer but was stopped in his tracks by Hold Person, and the guy complained, "Freakin' Cleric! Do you know how many graves I had to dig up to get all those, and you just drive them away like that!?" Withstanding a full Magic Missile, I called back, "The only grave you're digging is your own!" and killed him with a crossbow bolt to the forehead, then we both turned back to smite the stragglers, disintegrating them with light magic. Afterward, the DM reminded us what the guy in town had said (which none of us remembered): "Just investigate what's going on, but DON'T engage them." We weren't supposed to fight the group (obvious in hindsight), let alone win, but we did anyway. Welp! Got another French-related question... How would you correctly pronounce the names of these two characters? <a href="http://redthehunter.wikia.com/wiki/Merveille_Million" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://redthehunter.wikia.com/wiki/Merveille_Million</a> <a href="http://redthehunter.wikia.com/wiki/Op" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://redthehunter.wikia.com/wiki/Op</a>éra_Kranz They come from the DS game Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, about dog and cat people piloting big mechs in the land above the clouds, with a similar grab-and-throw / catch-and-return style of gameplay to Mischief Makers. All (or most?) of the characters' voice clips are in French (and there may be other French elements I've forgotten); some that stood out in my memory are Red's "Sapristi...!" (apparently an old-fashioned "by jove!" sort of expression?), Merveille's "Bone chance" (get it, because dogs), and one from Opéra that sounds like both "meow" and "oui" in one word (like "meowoui"). Trivia!

holy cow i am not good at this "not being excessively long" thing

MyOtheHedgeFox

Hello again, Яaocow! .Д. From the not-so-sunny Russia, MyO the HedgeFox reporting! To nourish your soul today, let’s watch a cute toucan falling in the sink. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9POJ2-n0Cs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9POJ2-n0Cs</a> And now, some music! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgPpWTEanrY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgPpWTEanrY</a> Sounds fun? These are Lenich and Kirya – the guitar-and-harmony duo that makes remixes of various musics, from My Little Pony fan tunes to Undertale to Bastion. Juuust giving them a pug. I mean plug. =) And now, some questions and other points of discussion: 1) Come again, what keyboard are you using, and why? How long do you have it? 2) Are you watching any of the numerous Abridged Series online? Which ones are your favorite, and why? 3) I think you will be happy to learn that I tried the tomato rice recipe you told me several weeks ago, and it turned out to be pretty tasty! It’s also called Spanish Rice, and indeed it works the best with a multi-vegetable juice rather than plain tomato juice. Thank you very much for sharing it! 4) Could you name your favorite computer font, and why is it your favorite one? 5) Oops, I ran out of question. Again, haldo from the wonderful land of kartOshka, borscht and cheap broadband Internet, and keep doing what you’re doing!

Hello. Music that's going to get cut by something or other: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkVsuO2Ichk What is after Psychonauts, if it's not the next pataponjour thing? Also, how offensive would it be to make you say "Hon Hon, le baguette!" But now, let's wash a piggy: i.imgur.com/rqLXA1v.gifv

itsthewhinyguys

Hey there, Raocow! My twin brother has been contributing to your Patapon for a while now, and he recently got me to finally start kicking in as well. We've both been fans of your work for a long time, though. The only question I have for you right now is: have you met any twins in real life, and if so, what are your experiences with them?

PizzaPony

Yo raocow, let shut up and jam! MUSIC, from video games tinyurl.com/m73vc4x 2 patapon videos prior, you missed reading this part in MyO post- "2. After rewatching Fist of the North Star, I’ve been constantly misspelling your nickname as raohcow, which led me to imagine you dressed as Kenshiro’s brother in training. Punching people until they explode, too. Come to think of it, that wasn’t a proper question. Ahem. Let’s start anew." I think you missed it because the question below it also started with '2.' QUESTIONS, possibly demons 1. From Hell's heart, whom do you stab at? 2. How often does a french person actually say 'sacre bleu'? And if its not at all like I'm guessing, what are the usual exclamations of surprise? 3. Are you going to listen/watch the FATE session 1.5, or just want a recap? 4. Butter or Margarine? 5. How thick is the layer of dust on the capture card I sent you? 6. How many cans of Whoop Ass do you have in stock? How many have you opened so far? 7. Would you say your LPs are niche, or for anyone interested in video games? 8. In terms of digital game music, what kind do you like most? Ones that imitate real instruments, or ones that are made of 'beeps and boops'? And from what platform do you like the most, NES, SNES, Genesis, old PC, or newly made chiptune music, or other? 9. Whats a song/music that you think you could listen to on a loop the longest without getting tired of it? 10. I almost overslept again, I blame the discord. But anyways, how does it feel to be the reason why us bunch of people have gotten together? We've all got differences, but all share a similarity. 11. To sate Roo's computer curiosity, go into your computer's search bar and type 'dxdiag' and run that, to see what your 'new' computer's specs are. 12. Stealing this question from someone last week, what are your thoughts on me?
