Kate's character didn't even have to put on a cursed mask to start having weird dreams in this campaign!

I work at a public library, and not only do we usually have girl scout moms donate cookies because they like the library, but all the old people who come up for coffee will bring leftover boxes of cookies for me that they didn't want to finish off. It's a pretty good time.

All that time spent learning the AP inside and out has paid off. The ease in which Troy weaves his own touches into the AP and how impactful his changes are, are ceating a phenomenal narrative.

This new season is slowly turning me into a 2E convert

Why is Troy tossing a box of Thin Mints in the thumbnail? If Troy is a Thin Mints hater, I don't know if his love of Christmas will fully balance out this transgression. Edit: He hates the Thin Mints 😔

I think, it's him actually telekinetically pulling the box of Thin Mints closer. With his love of Christmas, I'd not be surpirsed, if Troy was actually a Psychic IRL.

Consider the following Recall Knowledge House-Rule to better clarify matters.... ------ **Recall Knowledge** ------ * No need to specify which skill you want to use. * The GM will choose the most poignant/beneficial for you to try - often a combo of lowest DC and/or skill with highest bonus ------ When trying to "Recall Knowledge" about a creature, you may ask ONE question about a creature. To make it less vague/open-ended, consider using the following - most likely to help you during Encounter-mode. GM may elect for you to pick ONE of the following (per Recall Knowledge Attempt) or roll a d8: ------ * 1 **Immunities** or **Resistances** (answer limited to 2 ; even though more may exist) * 2 **Weaknesses** (answer limited to 2 ; even though more may exist) * 3 **Saving Throw Order ** (highest to lowest) * 4 All **Traits** ...AND... **Languages** most likely to be understood/spoken ...AND... GM chosen "excerpts" from the creature's description (not the entirety of the creature description) * 5 Unusual **Passive** abilities - likely limited to one * 6 Unusual **Reactions** *or* (One, Two, or Three) **Action** Abilities - likely limited to one * 7 **Speed** - type(s) & value(s) * 8 Player's choice ------ * A ***Critical Success *** allows for TWO (2) questions to be asked. IF... no "useful" information is yielded from a question - e.g. creature has no weaknesses/immunities/resistances/unusual passive/active abilities THEN... GM *may* allow player to ask a different question or GM may pivot to other information that may serve a useful purpose to the players. * Each Recall Knowledge *failure* results in the DC increasing by +2 for each subsequent check. * No more than three (3) Recall Knowledge *checks* may be attempted for a creature (per PC) without additional research being performed during days/weeks of downtime.

Bant is on POINT! SO funny love how y'all are gelling so well.

risky medicine doesn't work with assurance. When using assurance, it's just 10 + proficiency, you don't add any other modifiers. So assurance is only useful at level 3, unless you get expert in medicine at level 2 (by taking the medic archtype probably, not sure if there's any other way.)

@luc1829

@@133TME he did take Medic. So he's an expert already. But if he takes assurance next level, even without the +2 from risky surgery, all successes are crits. So he could just *always* heal for 4d8. But that being said... all he needs to roll is a 3 or higher to crit anyway.

@133TME

@@luc1829 Ah ok, I'd forgotten/ maybe never learned he'd taken that. Then yeah, risky surgery is good. Tbh though, in my games I don't actually care how much I heal out of combat. Once you have continual recovery + ward medic (which I think are worth prioritising over risky) it's a rare GM that doesn't just let you heal the party to full out of combat. Actually making each individual treat wounds check gets pretty tedious pretty quickly. I honestly wish battle medicine continued working as it currently does, but treat wounds was simply an hour to heal a party member to full, ward medic let you target multiple people and continual recovery reduced it to 10min to heal up, or maybe half an hour.

Love the banter at the top of the show. Great fun listening to them being friends around a table. Zephyr with the regular punch. Its so dumb, but I laughed so hard thinking of One Punchman. Today's episode thumbs up.

They are still called Samoas on the west coast. We know people with girls on both coasts, and we order from both so we can compare the different bakeries they use. Some of the names are different, some of the packaging is different, and the cookies are definitely different.

Fun episode with a great Cliffy

I love how you all rip and joke with each other an nobody seems to take it personally. Sidney is my hero. Seriously, she's amazing. I hope that perception is real, and you all are as good of friends IRL as you seem in the game, because the world needs that. We need to see people joking around and not getting offended. "Sidney nine." man... I love the GCN!!!

What happened to the world that Syd was a Girl Scout that never went camping? When I was a Girl Scout the whole point of selling cookies was to pay for camp. I guess the ‘80s were just a happier time.

I wonder if the dream is why Kate was in chat last night. I also had the same look on my face while I was listening. Great show in Toronto guys! Troy, Leaf fans have had much more embarrassing loses than that.

Zephyr may be coming down with a little something... or a lotta!

To add to your talk about knowledge checks. I played in a group with a bard who used a spell for multiple recall knowledge in 1 action, and that bard was always doubted as he always crit failed at least one knowledge check😅

LOL no, walking into a room is an obvious fight trigger in TTRPGs. If Syd had stayed at the top of the stairs like Joe said she would have been fine. "But I couldn't see all the way in the room!" So?! Don't walk in there! It's so obvious!

I was a scout up in Canada and we sold popcorn! I was one of the few girls and the camping trips were dope. Only thing was that if there wasn't a female adult going with us we'd have to miss the trip 😢

Syds shirt is awesome

While Troy was doing the whole dream thing i was so creeped out!!!!!😨😨😨😨😨

Great episode. I just want to give some love for Skid's Cu'ulah Khan voice, even if I butcher the spelling!

Regarding the banter discussion, if you plan to run RK checks as secret checks, it’s useful to have critical failure information prepped before hand. The bestiary flavor text even often includes rumors and misinformation as stuff to pull from. When reviewing monster stat blocks as GM prep, just have the Critical Failure knowledge ready to go as well for those creatures and that’s enough for that session. If rolling publicly, less important. You can create something on the fly with a delay or skip it. The players know they rolled a Nat 1 in that case.

MidFevDreamCliff, dem jawn for the win!

Can you guys show a shot of what the custom sheets look like on Demiplane ? I feel like the other sponsors get some love but never have seen these ? Cheers ?

When I roll a secret recall knowledge check and they crit fail, I tell them something almost true but wrong in a way that will lead them to do the exact wrong thing and then immediately realize they crit failed. So for example, a player knew this pool of magical liquid was some kind of trap and rolled to identify it and crit failed. I told her that it was there to protect the holy artifacts at the bottom (true) and therefore dealt a huge amount of good damage (pre remaster). As it turned out it actually dealt force damage and so when the PC touched it they almost died instantly.

I am wondering if the villains of the AP either gave the Gatewalkers their deviant abilities or are trying to extract the powers from them 🤔

I'm here for more SGA (and all NBA) deep-cut references

Is there a limit to treat wounds? Seems like it minimizes the threat if you can just get to full after every fight no matter what.

I can't remember if Buggles ever reacted to Asta's dog like visage.

Would love for you to sing the Peanuts’ Boy Scout ad from the 70s and 80s. I still remember the lyrics.

I feel like you should have to ask a specific question on a recall knowledge before the roll. If you fail, you don't know the answer. You should be able to roll recall knowledge again later but you have to ask for different information

I was buying beer and the clerk asked me if i wanted to buy some girl scout cookies with a while schpeel. I absent mindedly replied my usual reply "Nah i dont gave any money", as im spending money on alcohol. Lol. I think was just a couple weeks ago

Yes, Boy Scouts do have fundraisers. They sell Trail's End popcorn. It's terrible.

Are they near levelling up?

The Boy Scouts sold flavored popcorn. It tasted awful and I could not sell a single tin.

There are plenty of girl scout troops that complete outdoor challenges and activities... I think it is all dependent on the troop leader(s). One of the troops just a bit older than my daughters' stayed over night in a haunted house to monitor the temp., electromagnetic fields, and other scientific data gathering to "hunt" ghosts.

That's so weird. Like I know its Joe but with Risky Surgery giving a +2 and crit on a success....I feel like he should be healing way more than he is and failing far less often. like even if he goes for the 15 DC he needs to roll like a 3 to do 4d8+5 healing every time. and the 20 DC is only an 8 on the die for a critical success.

@luc1829

2 ай бұрын

correction, the extra 5 is only with the 20 DC from Medic. But still. a 3 or higher gets him 4d8 of healing for the price of 1d8 damage. its pretty much always worth it unless the 1d8 would actually kill the character

Joe's a richard in this episode

we are never going to see that dog again.......but if anyone actually remembers to track the crazy recharge time and actually summons it again, they deserve a bottlecap

*episode content, spoilerish* I love that Syd had Asta burrow herself into the bedding... Very foxy behavior 😊

Sydney: Me love this movie ;)

I think I'm confused about treat wounds. I thought you could only do it once on a person per hour. But it seems like Joe is able to do it in 10 minute increments. What am I missing? Is there a feat or something?

Back in the day I had no interest in the Girl Scouts, but there weren't enough boys interested to make a troop of Boy Scouts. So our troop leader just lied and called us 3 girls in the troop "boys" on paper so we could do all those hiking and camping activities instead. It was a blast! Also Thin Mints are gross! XD

That's a recent thing. I'm in my fourties and when I was a Scout we just had raffle tickets.

I was girl scouts up until the point where I got a badge for making a smore. I thought it so dumb. I wanted to join the boy scouts and LEARN THINGS but they wouldn't let me. To be clear we were not camping we were at the park in a pavilion when we made smores. We did nothing cool. My brother was in boy scouts and my dad was a cubmaster. I saw a lot of what the boys got to do and I was pissed I couldn't join the boy scouts. It sounds like girls scouts is getting better if Gwen gets to actually go camping. I hope it's true.

An interesting note on the bant is that you can be a female Boy Scout if you want to these days so I guess enjoy that information.
