I love how Clint, seeing his son disappointed in getting just a fish, pulls a classic Dad trick and offers a bunch of money for his fish. Which makes Travis more attached to the fish.

Hold on hold on hold on (SPOILERS FOR BALANCE): But if Garfield says he's a new hire at the Costco in this episode it means that by the time they find Garfield closing up the shop for good during reunion tour, that means Garfield in a matter of maybe a year, went from new hire to OWNER. That is mercantile wit beyond belief!

I believe in one of the first "The 'The Adventure Zone' Zone" episodes, Griffin admitted that was a bit of a retcon, because he wanted Tres Horny Boys to interact with Garfield from that point on whenever they went into the store. So rather than just a new hire, Grif turned him into the owner and sole proprietor of Fantasy Costco.

This reminds me of Justin’s later buyer’s remorse over the pocket spa This is an EXCELLENT animation - I love how you kept the three as their characters even though technically they weren’t always in character. Perfect decision that helped the flow of it all. Favourite moment was Magnus asking Griffin to paint them a word picture.

I forgot that Travis’s pet naming conventions and insistence upon strictly calling pets by true names started this early.

See, the fact that Garfield smiles wickedly when he says the benefits are terrible tells me more about his character than any other animatic about this point 😂

Garfield winking at Takko always gets me. XD

It is absolutely astonishing to me that Griffin made this mystery bag so Magnus can have a pet and Travis immediately was like “That, I want that now.”

This is sooo good! I love their designs and expressions. And how Merle keeps trying to eat Steven.

The closest thing to that ball (which obviously provides sustenance to the fish) is a circlet of sustenance for 2k5 gp. At 300 gp this was a bargain in that it was sold for less than it costed to make. Problem was, it was kinda useless, except maybe as a toy for some rich girl, so they put it in a "mystery bag" to lure some suckers and get back some of the cost. This is brilliant in how much it makes sense.

I’ll never get over steven’s grumpy face at the end. I love it so so much

So, this reminds me of a thing I did for my players. They were lousy with money so I did something like the mystery bag, each package was 500GP and players rolled a 1D100 to see what they got. One player got a cape that could turn in to bat wings and allow them to fly. Another got a t-rex figure that turned in to a real t-rex. Yet another got a bottomless bag of peanuts that they weren't very impressed with, I let them sell that back for 250GP. The bottomless bag of peanuts was even more useless because I don't use stuff like hunger or thirst in my games, lmfao.

@@SymBatAnimations I am the kind of DM who likes to just have fun, so often times, as long as there's a way to involve a dice roll in it, I'll allow it. If they had wanted to use the bag of peanuts on a hole to fill it, or to like suffocate enemies, I'd have allowed it. I do this thing called "Fate Rolls", where a player can roll a 1D100 to try and nudge fate in their favor, so if you were playing in my game and had the peanuts, if you had asked, "Any chance [enemy] is allergic to peanuts?", we let Fate (1D100) decide. Although, while I love and encourage creativity, stuff like that I generally only allow once so it isn't abused.

@Uncle-Jay

Yeah, I use the 100 sided as much as I can because it's fun to roll, everyone likes rolling that big ass clumsy 1D100. If religious players want to try and contact their God, they can try once a day and on a 95 or better they actually do. That doesn't mean they'll get what they want or anything but they have that chance and they just love the fact that's an option.
