Like all men do Age weighs on them. So obviously there comes a time to hand power over to new blood, but the rules and laws that were established regarding the succession of the High Lords all stemmed from a belief that the Emperor would still be around to help make good choices because it would be inconceivable for the Emperor NOT to be there.*

    I honestly love that the Emperor is trying to be a powergamer, not because he's enacting a power fantasy, but because he literally can't comprehend that normal people can't do the overpowered shit that he can do without effort. Dodging an arrow, destroying a soul, commanding other people's will, that's all child's play to the Emperor. He cannot fathom that those things would be out of his control. Absolutely hilarious.

      We start getting stubborn by 30. You cannot use just common sense reasoning by the time of old night. You'd need someone to takes actual years explaining it in microscopic granular detail for him to really understand. Anything less is just him humoring you cause he trusts your opinion

He doesn't use his powers for minor successes that can be achieved otherwise, but when all else fails he bolsters those who fight for him with all the strength they need to overcome their enemy.

      I mean, you're using "consequences" really loosely there to be honest. Really, Magnus was *punishing* them for doing anything that wasn't his plan.
      He wanted them to be characters in *his* story, he literally even says so, and whenever they didn't act out the image in his head, he would throw enemies at them way above their power level instead of just crafting something new for them to experience that would suit their desires and accommodate their play style.
      Magnus made a campaign for Magnus, and got mad that the players weren't playing like Magnus would. I consider that the worst kind of railroading: passive aggressive railroading.

You could say they were actually fully interacting with the Warhammer Fantasy World directly due to magnus.

      @@vintheguy I don't think they were implying Dorn has some special superpower, Astartes are just canonically capable of significantly faster mental processing power than humans and Primarchs are canonically about as far advanced of Astartes as Asartes are of normal humans on that point. Base physical stats are just flat out higher across the board.
      They just straight up absorb information a crapload faster than we do by default. Like imagine how rapidly you'd pick up a language if you read about 50x faster than everyone around you and your brain flat out wasn't forgetting a single bit of detail doing so.
      Dorn can probably fall asleep listening to lessons on Spanish and have the language mostly workable by the time he woke up. Hell Angron could probably have it figured out in under a week if the Nail-addled lunatic could be forced to sit still and stop murdering stuff long enough to take a class on something.

    I think I understand now why Magnus was so bitter about the outcome of the game. Magnar Buckethead was Magnus' character. He wanted to play, not be the GM. That's why he gave him stats and a week-long backstory. He wanted to take part in the story by proxy and having him killed in such a ridiculous way angered Magnus from that point onwards. Also, I think the name "Magnar" is pointing to this interpretation pretty clearly, wouldn't you agree?

      It makes no sense to me.
      The goal of the GM is to make the experience as fun as possible, not to win the fights.
      Winning for the GM should be having successfully crafted an interesting experience.
      One of the early fights in my mini-campaign involved hordes of skeletons that would keep crawling out of this pit and falling from crevices in the ceiling.
      They were so weak they could hardly damage the player, and the player could basically kill several at a time.
      They were meant to possibly slow the player down and weaken them slightly, as they leapt from pillar to pillar across this pit. (They could use their whip to swing across parts, this was an Indiana Jones style single person mini-campaign) Then they'd fight to skeletal minotaurs, which again shouldn't have killed the players, but were a bit more of a challenge.
      The goal was to make the players feel strong, as if they were an experienced adventurer. But it also meant to cause them to decide if they needed to rest or not, because depending how much time they spent navigating this temple, events in town would be more difficult. There was basically a Pandora's Box kind of thing that was going to start spawning monsters in town while they were in the temple looking for clues on how to close the box.
      I let the players be any class they wanted, and I ran through it twice. My cousin was a Ranger, and he was insta-killing skeletons left and right, though he did take a few hits and almost fell into the pit.
      My brother on the otherhand was a Warlock, and when he did it he just teleported across the pit, bypassing the entire thing, going straight to the minotaurs. However his spell usage still made him have to decide if he wanted to rest or not.

      Yeah, no. I'm all for players expression and forging your own oath, but a group of players that go off the path for absolutely no reason isn't fair to the DM. In the same way a DM is expected not to railroad, players need to remain respectful of the adventure the DM has prepared to run.
      You can't agree to play in a Curse if Strahd game, roll up into Barovia, and then look your DM in the face as you say "Waterdeep is quite nice this time of year."
      The DM is a player too, and has to far more prep work with more stress than anyone else at the table. If they're running a sandbox game, then go nuts. But Magnus honestly only does things wrong when he starts making the world punish the players for his own feelings, and with how badly he's treated by the players, I don't blame him at all.

    Honestly, the only bad thing Magnus did while GMing is getting pissed off. Letting the dice drive the story, even if you don't like it, letting players naturally die and making something for them even when they piss you off, making a combat encounter that's nigh impossible through direct combat, and even explicitly saying what you desire to help everyone get on the same page are all decent decisions.

Granted, some of the things going off-script were the result of luck or quick thinking (such as the knight killing the first ogre as well as the Gorger Lord, or the Shaman Queen’s deception about a portal to another world), but others were simply the result of “roleplaying” or players doing whatever tf they want, regardless of whether it inconvenienced the GM or what consequences it might bring. Don’t forget that the GM wants to have fun too, and if the players constantly trample over everything he does (even though Magnus did allow them to get away with quite a bit, if they could roll well), it ain’t fun for him.

      Overall the party was still constructive enough, though. It's not like they did that shit on purpose, it was mostly just bad luck with roles. They didn't try to kill the NPC, it's pretty much the GMs fault to push it that way.
      But if you really got a group that is just destroying it, well, what shall you do? Have to switch to them being hunted down as crazy murderers.
      Even worse when they kill each other. Had someone in a group once, who just createad a psychopath who instantly murdered the character of another player over nothing. That's just dumb and destructive for the game, which was over anyway at this point.

    Second, the city guard running away is holding a crusader’s crossbow from Team Fortress 2. Third, the cover of the game book magnus is holding is the actual fantasy roleplay dnd cover art. Fourth, every time urban hagflayer kills someone, the collection of severed heads on his belt gets bigger, and each head has the face of the person that he killed. Fifth, magnus has painted miniatures of everyone in the room, including the emperor on his throne and himself. Sixth, the chronicler suddenly has a purity seal. Seventh, bulgo has a lucky clover on his hat, which makes me think that he’s irish. Just to name a few.

    This episode teachers us a very valuable lession: Being "That Guy" has been and will always be completely dependent on the group and context.
    Nearly everyone in this group except the halfing, judge, and knight were all typical "That Guys" that would be rightfully thrown out of any normal group. But this was not a normal group, this was a group composed of That Guys, who despite being more annoying that a sack of skaven on warp-meth, all had fun and enjoyed the game together. Meanwhile Magnus, who under any normal circumstances would've been an acceptable (if somewhat railroady) GM, was thus made into the That Guy of the group due to his inability as the GM to adapt to tone of his party (and even then, he wasn't that bad, considering he gave them just about every chance he could and played the rules mostly straight).
    Remember, you're only That Guy if you bother and annoy the group. Don't be That Guy, learn your group, and either have fun with them or find another group that fits your tastes so that nobody is forced to be That Guy.
    Except the Emperor. He really was That Guy even in the group's context. Mostly because he's That Guy of this universe.

    It’s because Magnar was actually Magnus’s own PC. That’s why he had stats and stuff because Magnus wanted to play the game originally but since no else wanted to DM Magnus decided to just use his character as an NPC. An NPC that was then promptly killed by both Big E and Dorn’s characters; however unintentionally.

(In Welsh, efrog; in Old Irish, iubrach; in Irish Gaelic, iúrach; and in Scottish Gaelic, iùbhrach). The city is called Eabhraig in Scottish Gaelic and Eabhrac in Irish-names derived from the Latin word Eboracum. A proposed alternative meaning is "the settlement of (a man named) Eburos", a Celtic personal name spelled variously in different documents as Eβουρος, Eburus and Eburius: when combined with the Celtic possessive suffix *-āko(n), the word could be used to denote the property of a man with this name.[7][6]
      The name Eboracum became the Anglian Eoforwic in the 7th century: a compound of Eofor-, from the old name, and -wic, meaning "village", probably by conflation of the element Ebor- with a Germanic root *eburaz ('boar'); by the 7th century, the Old English for 'boar' had become eofor. When the Danish army conquered the city in 866, it was renamed Jórvík.[8]
      The Old French and Norman name of the city following the Norman Conquest was recorded as Everwic (modern Norman Évèroui) in works such as Wace's Roman de Rou and as Euruic in the Domesday Book.[9][10] Jórvík, meanwhile, gradually reduced to York in the centuries after the Conquest, moving from the Middle English Yerk in the 14th century through Yourke in the 16th century to Yarke in the 17th century. The form York was first recorded in the 13th century.[3][11]"

    Couple things I’ve noticed since re-watching.
    Yes, Custodisi was in fact the Gorger Lord, meaning Wammudes’ character insulting his brothers inadvertently funny.
    Decius has a huge fucking chip on his shoulder when dealing with the old coots at the High Lords’ table, to the point of one of them asking if Decius is ok after a curiously focused rant from Benny McBackstab.
    Emps realizes he can’t just god-mode his way through the game so he attempts to do everything possible within the game’s confines to achieve the desired result, which involves some fairly clever stunts later on, like propelling Sir Wamri further to defeat the first Ogre, using a fate point to stay in the game, and recognizing the weakness of the Gorger Lord (his absurdly low Willpower)
    Nrod Lagorsson plotting his Castle of Castle after Rogal’s failed attempt to start the adventure.
    Even though Kräkus the Dung Collector was purely a means to troll and screw around, he still made an impact in the story during the confrontation with the Gorger Lord.
    Provost Marshal actually gets a cool moment by having his Litigant burn his lawbook to fuel the leadbelcher, and it helps Karstodes get into the game and enjoy it.
