    Hey Sark! :-) Could you scan in some of your masterful drawings you have created to help illustrate the environment the characters are in, phallic references and all? I know it would help me envision their environment as well. Thanks!

     

    I'll see. Usually I have very elaborate maps worked out but this campaign is a legal pad full of scribbles. Maybe when / if I get improved maps done I'll upload them. If you can't wait just head on over to Pornhub and check out all those D&D maps!

    I am curious to know if you've ever played Word of Darkness stuff by White Wolf?

     

    Also, do you always DM games? From the comments that have been made it seems like you're the DM all the time and never a player. If so, are you happy with that or would you like to be on the other side of the screen for a change?

     

    I have played in a Werewolf campaign but I prefer White Wolf's books for reference and shitter reading. Not a put down. Taking a shit while you read about the Technocracy is epic.

     

    I haven't played since the early 90's. Sometimes I think it would be fun to play but I remember all my old DM's hating all my questions. So I stick to telling teh storeez.

    Did you ever play 3.0 or 3.5 rules Sark?

     

    Unfortunately, negative. Always wish I had, but I went from many other games, to 2nd Ed., to many other games, to this current group who were all already familiar with 2nd Ed., to now. I've read enough to recognize that 3rd & Pathfinder are pretty slick.

     

    Us switching rules is entirely possible since I warp them out of any recognizable shape anyway. I've even jumped game systems entirely in the same campaign. Went from Shadowrun to Call of Cthulhu one time. Not that I recommend that.

    Do you not like the charge mechanic in 4E (i.e. use a standard action to move your speed and then make a melee basic attack)? Seems to me like these guys could have been getting a lot more attacks off if charging was allowed.

     

    Also, attacks of opportunity? Your enemies run away from trained fighters a lot with no adverse consequences.

     

    Love the show!

     

    Still learning the combat mechanics, but I can tell that it's going to be the first area I hack up to serve my own purposes. *opinion alert* Feels too board-gamey. Understandably since that was part of Wizard's experimental remodel.

     

    Good heads up though, I'll work charging in and see how it flows :) Keep in mind that we are usually 3-4 eps ahead of what's aired so changes don't seem to happen immediately on the show.

    Is there any food/beverage/snack banned from your table?

     

    I had one DM ban popcorn because of grease stains, another banned chicken parm because of farts.

     

    Surely, you must game in the worst center of that Venn Diagram.

     

    Not yet. But nobody has spilled 64oz of Monster Rehab on Earwolf's mics yet. Give us time. And yes, I'm dead center.

    Would it be possible to some how incorporate the nipple story from your youtube channel into the game down the road?

     

    I don't even remember the nipple story but I hope I do so it can be incorporated ASAP.

    Dear Mr. Sark

     

    Would also be cool to add the Diving Bells stats if that's a thing you've made. Who knows maybe you could eventually compile all your creations into a Nerd Poker campaign setting sorta thingy!

     

    I do have notes on everything but the Diving Bell device doesn't much in the way of stats as it is a rudimentary bit of salvage. Movement rate equaling a jog and a depth limitation based on me wiki'ing diving bells. :)

    Hey Sark can I have a drawing of the diving bell please no matter how crude. A human stick figure for scale would also be cool...

     

    Thanks for the great show!

     

    I'm at work atm but I'll whip something up.

    Has anyone in the party leveled yet?

     

    I haven't assigned XP yet, I tend to do it when they hit lulls between campaign beats. But yes, they have accumulated enough XP to level. Some, more than once.

    Sark, doin a good job but if you haven't already go check out Spencer from Harmontown... maybe he could help you out with 4E and dynamics.

     

    Good tip, I will! I'm already getting a feel for the 50% of the rules that I'll be omitting ;) I'd honestly rather be learning Pathfinder but 'Pathfinder With Brian Posehn & Friends' doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

    Sark, did you take your name from the character in TRON? I'm a big fan of those movies, it's been nagging at me whenever I hear the show, really love it though keep it up!

     

    Yes, it's from Tron! I added the 'Mr' because 'Sark' was snapped up on Xbox Live within moments of its launch a decade ago and I was looking for one syllable gamertag.

     

    It is also often assumed to be calling back to the villain from the US TV show 'Alias'. Or sometimes, 'Stark'. Or 'Shark'. Or 'Shrek'. Or 'Sack'. :(

    Sark, why won't you plug you YouTube channel? I come from there and I'm loving this podcast. I feel it would work the same way around, you are an awesome entertainer :).

     

    Thanks! I just figured we'd had enough plugs right then. Feel free to spread the Team Respawn love!

    Sark, what is the most obsessive compulsive action you've ever seen a player repeat? Like searching for traps or casting detect magic in every room.

     

    #1 Brian rolling warriors.

     

    #2 Brian accidentally killing innocents with his inhuman strength.

     

    #3 Gerry dying.

    What is the highest level this group has managed to get to in any edition of D&D? If Gerry's Ell Ryan is any indication, they seem to expect the lifespan of a Bic lighter owned by a sickly hamster. Thanks!

     

    Gerry is the Mayfly of D&D. That's why he's so fun! Highest level has been the 10-12 range many moons ago, 2nd Edition.

    In my experience too many DM's call it a day once they know all the rules, but the real mastery is in learning the rules then trashing everything you don't like.

     

    Unfortunately I haven't learned 4th yet, and don't have a lot of time between sessions to do it. So I'll learn it on the fly during our game and I'll stop in here to gather pro-tips. When I feel like I've got a handle on various rules I'll start refining it a bit. Just in time for D&D Next... *sigh*

     

    In the meantime, keep the tips coming! We all read these forums. I hope these a-holes don't screw up and get themselves murdered before they find out what the hell is going on on this planet. I give 'em a 50/50 shot.
