My sister wants to watch some Game Changer or Make Some Noise episodes, but she doesn’t know anything about Dropout and so I’m worried that some of the references will be confusing for her. Are there any suggestions for good starting episodes that don’t have too many call backs?

Honestly season 1 is a good start - lie detector is simple and tame. The four Noise Boys episodes of game changer are also really good if the goal is introduction to MSN

Do they have enough content to warrant this?
tall cobalt
Yes ?
atomic breach
They've mapped out a plan for while they trial it, and I'd poorly guesstimate they've got at least a week of content slated
(this is a huge underestimate)
tall cobalt
You gotta think for the tabletop content alone
atomic breach
Exactly
atomic breach
I was going to poorly estimate that each season of D20 (which is where they're starting) is like a day of content, but it looks like they vary wildly in runtime from like 12h to probably like 48h, and they've got 27 seasons.
They're set for a month with just the D20 marathon easily, assuming they do every campaign.
(That being said, I feel like an uninterrupted D20 marathon is like the way not to start it, there's a little too much continuity there...)
tall cobalt
they totally wont do that, but there is quite a few seassons of their veriaty content that can fill between longer table top stuff
so like they could do a couple epps of make some noise then a couple hours of d20 stuff and swap between d20 stuff and then other stuff and be going for ages
and all the while new content every week
atomic breach
Eventually
I definitely think playing to the strengths of TV channels as a medium is the play, but for now it sounds like they're just going with the playlist approach
(The strength in question being scheduled programming)

The only thing that might be on Dropout.tv but not the youtube is the superfan bonuses, I think; they get a tiny bit of behind the scenes content (mostly sneak peeks at upcoming announcements as far as I can tell, like the Game Changer season 1/2 bluray), and a discount in the dropout store

I'm watching through Gladlands right now, can someone explain the bungling mechanic to me? It seems like the players will mess up each other's rolls decently often and in most cases I don't really understand why
balmy escarp
Failing a roll gets you a booboo, which you can slend to perform better in later rolls, so there's some degree kf incentivisation to make other people fail, especially in low-stakes rolls. Sometimes its also just for roleplay purposes
That said, I do remember seeing complaints that one player in particular was bungling other people's rolls too often, and in scenes where they trying to actually do something, so you're not the only one confused
visual sonnet
Yeah, there was one moment when ||Jacob knew that Vic was going to fail their roll and bungled it specifically so that the burden of the failure would be shifted to Kokomo, which I really liked.|| But sometimes it really feels like a given player just decides to bungle for no real reason

I trust them and think it can work but also do worry about dropout overextending itself. Particularly delivering a boardgame in the current environment of global shipping and tarrifs seems like the kind of thing where things can go poorly.

Question
Does Dimension20 have like the downloadable character sheets for everyone
Cuz I want to look at them
pallid musk
Not so far as I know
They also tend to run a lot of homebrew so might be less useful than you expect
I think to some degree for the purpose of warding off some backseat gamers / rules lawyers upset by how they're playing the game
rigid kindle
The wiki often has character sheets that represent the characters
But I don't know where they get them from
pallid musk
They do show the stats occasionally, will say moves they're using, and probably some inference
balmy escarp
I saw the character sheets for Welcome to Purpee in my youtube recommended tab, since they let you do tezt+image posts there now (I hate it I hate it I hate it, they don't show up in subscriptions so whether you see posts from people you follow is entirely up to the algorithm), and I wanna say they did that for Gladlands and Cloudwars Ho, too

balmy escarp
Sometimes the discussion does make it in, though the only example that's coming to mind is the two contestants (idr who) playing rock paper scissors for the obviously more fun character
I generally tend to assume that that's the kind kf stuff that's prtty universal to collaborative improv that just gets cut for pacing; there's been some behind the scenes discussion of Dimension 20 (I believe on an episode of Adventuring Academy) where Brennan talks about discussing with the players before a scene what they're planning to do so he can bounce off it to set things up correctly

There's a Mistborn question in the new Um Actually
i say right as the question makes me mad
I don't agree with the answer to that question!
||The answer to the question is "Steelpushing and Ironpulling can't push on ANY metal because they can't push on aluminum"||
||Which is technically correct, but I have two big issues with it: First, they always say it lets you push on "metals". You can't technically push on ANY of them but I feel like that's a distinction that's hardly even made in story. And second, and bigger: When describing Allomancy, they said "you drink, inject, snort, or otherwise ingest metals"||
||And as far as I know, you cannot inject or snort metal, you HAVE to ingest it through the mouth||

||And as far as I know, you cannot inject or snort metal, you HAVE to ingest it ...
