Wow, first we get several sessions with a hostile DM and now Narrative Declaration is moving onto predatory DLC practices? I can't believe one of my favourite TTRPG groups has gone downhill so quickly... 😔
@@NarrativeDeclaration Now listen here buster! ...I don't know what platypusess (platypi?) eat or how much of it.

@@AT2Productions Zediquette truly is the book all rogue traders keep in their quarters to read before going to bed so they can all aspire to be as cool, successful and charismatic as Zedek.
oh gods, bloatus is like that one charaters from that ATLAB episode the painted lady. the major, shop keep bloke. who just wore diffrent hats and had diffrent jobs in the shitty little town
Gotta be careful around Bloatus the Toadfly Merchant...his friends are...rough...(seriously, they lay their eggs in the nostrils of toads, and their maggots steadily consume said toad's nostrils, eyes and brain)
Hey is it bad that I binged all of rotgrind Also a complication could be “blind as a bat” the player is now legally blind for 5 minutes and needs to scream to find things for the next 5 minutes
No, nothing wrong with binging something you like, but thats a loaded question since if your binging something at the expense of something important...you get the idea. But no, theres nothing wrong with this.
I had the idea of a complication, “Rolled/Sprained Ankle: The character who triggered this complication has their movement speed reduced to half for 1d4 rounds.”
Bloatus is the nurse joy or cop from pokemon, they all look the same but arent the same person and have the same name. Because let's be honest, nurse joy is either having clones, has a big family with the same name, or is all powerful and is everywhere.
"No, that was not Zathras, that was Zathras. There are 10 of us, all of family Zathras, each one named Zathras. Slight differences in how you pronounce. Zathraas, Zathras, Zathras.. You are seeing now?"
I felt this one in my soul. I've had sessions like this where no one in the party seems to be able to actually do anything, meanwhile the GM can't seem to roll below a 15 for 90% of their rolls. This is not helped by the fact that the GM for the campaign I'm currently in has RNGesus on his side and has rolled more 20s than the rest of the table combined and doubled.
I didn't suffer with you guys, that was fucking hilarious. I've been in this same situation numerous times, I hate it when I'm in them but by all that's holy and not it is the best thing ever to listen to other people lose their shit in these overly long terrible fights where they can't roll for shit (80% of the time I roll sub 10, the other 5% of the time I roll 11-14, and 15% of the time I roll 15-20). I understand the pain, and because I understand it so well, I can't help but laugh maniacally at it when it happens to others.
Hey Thruston, you CAN play commander on a budget, hell theres an ENTIRE channel dedicated to it!!! Dont need to break Zorens bank just to get your fix ;p
Earndil, every episode: "It's clear that I don't want to be here, that I don't like this, and I want to make sure no fun is allowed. MOVE ON GET ON WITH IT."
@@somenerd3515 It's not a bit. You can hear the awkward pauses and the tiny moments of silence that convey discomfort in the others. Thurston pushes back now and then in very subtle, polite ways which show that it isn't a bit. I don't understand why Earndil stays involved.
I don't think they should complicate on recovery checks since you can't crit fail or succeed on them anyway, so complicating it just makes it unnecessarily harder without any benefit. Especially since Thurston only lets boss monsters complicate on nat 1s, and not standard mobs. Or harder uncommon mobs.
Naw, that was a boss mechanic. The pistols are just upgraded weapons that grant a bespoke line attack, which is already pretty schweet for characters to have.
I heard this a few times and find it weird. Why are allies taking splash damage when the Alchemist crit fails? It should be no one takes splash damage right?
The feature that allows bomber alchemists to not hurt friends has a rule that on a critical failure. Which in pathfinder 2e is either a nat 1 or missing a DC by ten or more that is doesn't take place. The logic being you fuck up the throw so much you still catch them in the blast despite the safeguards
@@masonwilliams1345 ??? It might have been errata away, but all the bomber says is that they can chose to deal damage to that target alone instead of splash damage hitting allies.
@@OnCallGM your my kind of fucked up in story making I love REAL MONSTERS and abominations, and love making them myself. While sadly I cannot draw, I DO however hold the ability to make monsters in stat form when ever I get inspired by images lol. Yall have a monster suggestion thing anywhere? Even if they needed to br rebalance, or well, balanced at all since that's the part I duck at lol, I would love to commit some suggestions/creations. Albeit, might need to change the art since well, any art I use, is not mine sadly. One day I'll have that motivation. Hopefully lol.
" It reads you like a frickin' fiddle. "
*THEY PLAYED US LIKE A GODDAMN BOOK!*
2:02:47 Zoran gives Rehua a "How to Tank For Dummies" book after Rehua abandons Oran. Extremely good joke and I'm surprised no one mentioned it.
Having been the guy who loves his table despite rolling his eyes at them, I just hope Earndil has a great day today and a good experience.
He clearly is good friends with all of them, so I doubt anything actually gets to him
Cant wait till they find bloatus the adventurer merchant, who has tiny adventurers in his cage, they're fine, they just like being small army men that swarm thieves of bloatus with magic and tiny weapons.
Basically night at the museum lol
Vaali going "Idk I'm not homophobic" to Bloatus had me in pieces
So Vali is a missing poster on milk, Rehua is Tugbert, and Tanhauser is DLC content. What, perhaps, is Oran and Baldric? :o
Oran is the Stream, so we'll never know about him
If anything Baldric should be a potion
@@divonh7166correction potion seller.
A warcrime waiting to happen
Baldric would be a badly drawn wanted poster of himself with a triangle or a circle for a helmet.
Baldric if he is missing should just be a bad png of a bucket
Earndil on the off-chance that you read this I absolutely love the scream soundboard sound. Edit: AND THE DOOR SOUNDS AS WELL
Just wait, now that Hulky's made that joke, it'll be revealed that Rehua really was killed while he was absorbing sunlight a couple sessions ago, and the Rehua with them now is really his Nobody Xarhue.
His Heartless attacks the party later, they clash and become a normal tree man again while Simple and Clean plays.

Now I'm expecting the group still in outset to break down baldric's house walls to make one massive house against his wishes 🤣
The first 30 minutes of this is just "Oran's gunky fingers". I fucking love these guys.
This episode feels especially clip-worthy, those first ten minutes, Zoran's karma nat1 and that fight towards the end, I was cackling 🤣The party was in a *mood*.
Great episode and for the algorithm!
I find it hilarious that the first complication {Spoiler} gets is something that happened in Rotgoons 🤣
When that happened I thought I was going crazy! "Wait, haven't I seen this before? Did I somehow forget three hours of my life?!"
Ahhh I see without the chaotic balance of speaker d earindil assumes the role of gm bully.
I was expecting “Horsefly Merchant”
i'm happy i saw my fan art at the end, anyways love the campaign and can't wait to see where it goes next
That nat-1 roll for Zoran at the beginning was just epically hilarious. Moments like that are why I love this series.
