I often feel like DMs struggle with power balance in the game. You create this universe for folks to screw around in and there's lots of ways your players can mess with you. There are concepts within the game that the DM might not like, how even objects have hit points. Players should be able to break down doors and smash open wooden chests if they want to. If they want to burn down a building they should be able to do that. It was like that whole flesh to stone argument Griffin had, I didn't agree with him on his decision. The slime has flesh in the same capacity any living creature has. The fact that it's mobile and seeking out food implies it's alive and not necessarily magically animated. I would have allowed it. He just didn't want to make it too easy and while I can respect that, I also appreciate players utilizing their spells in such a manner. I used to use catapult to throw objects from behind enemies to get advantage, my DM agreed to let me do this once per fight, the reasoning being, once they see me do it, it's unlikely to work again. I've learned to try and go with the flow and re-write the story as their behavior dictates. The most important point of D&D is that it's a cooperative writing experience, have fun and let your players change the direction of the story if that's their wishes. D&D doesn't need to be balanced, often times I want to give my players the illusion of being powerful only to chop them down later.

The heartbreak in Travis' voice as he says "I will push as hard as I can back towards my body." The way Taako is just like, no, fuck you, I want my friend back. The way Merle is like fuck this shit Imma pull both these chuckle fucks back to me because fuck if I'm losing them. The way the three characters have gotten so close on their adventures together that even though they give each other a bunch of crap, they love each other so much that they will immediately jump into another plane of existence and risk their lives without a second thought to save their friend. I'm in tears, it's so beautiful. I love them so damn much and how they've really come together, and how their players have become so invested to make that happen, and how you can tell in the beginning of the campaign they would save each other just to keep the story moving forward, and how that slowly turned into they will do anything to save each other out of love and genuine care, and aaaaahhhhhhh

*ooo that last line*

This is the best episode yet. I literally had goosebumps when everyone worked together to save Magnus

Me, when the Angel disappeared: Lmao, there is no God in Wonderland. Me, Like.... Ten minutes later: Oh shit, there is no God here...

DUPREEEEE

merle is very religious when he wants something - spot on

Holy freaking crap, that "power of friendship" ending was the hypest freaking thing to happen in this series! That freaking RULED!!!!

I like how the TRUST TRUST EASY MODE CHALLENGE contained a VIRTUALLY UNKILLABLE WORM THEY HAD TO BE EX MACHINAD OUT OF.

I can just imagine how shocked Griffins face when Merle casts Planer ally on Taako and Magnus.

Listened to TAZ:B six times all the way through, and Arms Outstretched gives me tingles every time.

I can’t believe that Griffin created Squid Game years ago.

Taako get your manz

God I love it when merle and taako work together They aways have something under their sleeves, first it was garyl, then theres this, using a summoning spell, to bring back your friends who are stuck in the astral plane

I think it's kind of just the whole deal with Wonderland- I mean, this entire place is an illusion made by liches. We've seen their power. So I think either they're doing this intentionally, and if they're not, it's just their sheer power kind of just blocking any outside forces to further help their contestants (because they feed off of suffering).

That ending gave me chills!

I rush in

I know this comment is a few years old but I don't think that's entirely fair.

Did Griffin say he was making music for TAZ himself - if so I guess he's a big fan of Bastion, too.
