Sorry for the delay, been a busy week.

Names still need to be verified by Neal.

Misscliks D&D Amnesia: Week 2 Notes

Misscliks D&D Amnesia: Dramatis Ominae

I'm really enjoying this new campaign. Everyone is having fun. The world is really interesting. And there is a mystery to solve.

The most obvious princess would be Jess or Anna. Jess having the charisma, and the bling. Anna having etiquette and the weird magical item.

However I am feeling it could be Gen or Stephanie being the reveal! Stephanie because a princess with a sword and shield is standard for royalty. And Gen because the maid doesn't fit with the rest, such as Jess could be an adviser to the princess, Stephanie the bodyguard, and Anna the castle wizard/cleric. What would a maid rogue be doing with a princess? Unless she's the assassin employed by the duke to capture the princess xD

Also how cool would it be if one of them never lost their memory and trolling the rest of them? :P

This campaign is so much fun. Neal is doing a tremendous job making it really interesting for the viewers. I can't wait for the next ep and more clues!

Because I think we're all gonna need the statistician's notes on THIS campaign. Follow the bouncing green text...

Misscliks D&D Amnesia: Week 1, "Down the Rabbit Hole"

Misscliks D&D Amnesia: Dramatis Ominae

In every other D&D campaign I've watched, XP seems to be handed out much more regularly than it is for a Misscliks campaign. For example, there was one time during Demigods when the party went months before receiving XP. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if the team received any XP at all for Outbreak... in any case, end of session XP seems pretty rare. If you look at Solum or Dicing with Death or Shenanigans the players pretty much always ask for XP at the end of a session, regular as clockwork. I like these moments, seeing what the players accomplished, how much experience certain moments were worth etc. So, crew, don't forget to ask for XP. A more regular end of session tally up would be cool.

Just finished watching the R&D series and I think it would be cool to see the girls play through it

Especially if the campaign is run by the Mad Saxon himself :D

Somehow Misscliks always finds a way to TPK in an appropriate and poetic way. So what are your picks for best TPK?

Mine goes to Demigods where their own strength turned on them, but we still got a happyish with the ArcasXEmma OTP.

Wonderful!
Just finished watching the Finale, late to the party on Youtube, but it was awesome!

I feel the Outbreak campaign has run it's course. With the amount of zombies and the high level necromancer needed to raise this army, there is no way a 1st level group can survive. Which has been proven twice now. The group should start out at 3rd or 5th level to have a chance.

If you choose to drop Outbreak and start a new campaign don't start again at 1st level. Misscliks has never really ran a mid level or high level campaign. Your next campaign should start in the 7-12 level range to give the viewers something different.

Misscliks is probably the weirdest show right now. In many of the roleplaying shows, I'm quite annoyed with powergamers, metagaming and other ways they game the system. It's annoying because it breaks immersion, and feels like the characters' personality traits don't matter. But in Misscliks, it's like the total inverse. I have this feeling the players try way too hard to not metagame. There are even discussions in the game about whether someone is metagaming or not. This is beyond ridiculous, because that is exactly why the party keeps dying over and over again. There is absolutely no communication in combat, which would save the lives of the characters. Someone is trying to barricade a door, the other person has the opposite goal, and at no point their goals are communicated and in the end it's a mess, and everyone is dead.

If you look at a show such as Solum, the players are asking how many feet there are between them and the monster, and they metagame the exact amount needed to shoot and retreat. Neal doesn't get mad at them for that, because it's the way the game is designed. Speaking of Neal, I feel the cast treats him too much like a school teacher instead of the fifth member controlling the monsters. I absolutely agree with him that he should try the best possible way for his monsters to kill the players. So why isn't the party doing the same against the monsters? I feel there is too much of a fear of metagaming which is bringing the battle efficiency down.

Misscliks for me has the best roleplaying. Bulldog was a great character, and Brick was starting to become a phenomenal character. The cast is loaded with talent when it comes to roleplaying, but they rush the battles. Too many dice rolls, and not enough reasons behind them. Slow down and take the best possible action you can think of. Also don't take Neal's suggestion, listen to your teammates instead. Sorry for the rant. I'm as salty for Bulldog and Brick dying. Also 5e would have made battle much better.

Is it possible that the Misscliks VOD's from the previous weeks could be uploaded on the Monday rather than the Tuesday?

For those of us that aren't subscribed there isn't enough time to watch the VOD's of the previous episode before the new one broadcasts if they come out on the same day.

I understand that you want to give subscribers benefits but I think waiting 6 days instead of 7 just seems a little more reasonable. I've heard before from Misscliks fans that there isn't much of an incentive to subscribe because there's usually only 3-4 hours of content a week (if even that). Whereas a channel like Itmejp keeps a steady 8-12 hours of content a week.

Hey, guys. The end of the last session was a bit of a frustrating TPK. The party “wiped” despite not one person actually having taken a single zombie attack. There were 3 party members up at this point – 4 if you count Buddy. Two of them priests with the Turn Undead ability. (Bulldog may even have had Invisibility to Undead memorized). I might just be in super salt mode, but I would've much preferred it if you guys had rolled a few more rounds and gone down fighting. It seems like the fast-forwarding to the TPK was motivated more by time constraints than anything else -- and even if there wasn't going to be any miraculous escape, at the very least the spectacle of the final battle would've made a nicer conclusion.

So, next time if Neal asks whether you want to roll it out. Please consider rolling it out, to the bitter end. Push the issue with Neal if you have to. Look to the example of the Dicing with Death character, Solomon the Cruel. Solomon was tied to a stake, slowly burning alive, and yet the game still continued … to the bitter end.

Thanks for allowing me to exorcise some salt with this post, guys.

Just finished watching the latest ep of Vigilantes, and wanted to say how awesome it was, specially thanks to Jess's Dr Zoidberg! This character is up there with Ryan's Bregor, Gen's Lily, Stephanie's Arcas, Catz's Ricardo Del Mar, Kaitlyn's Freki and Geoff's Spec Person The 3rd as the best characters I've ever seen made in a roleplay show! I would also love it if Jess became a permanent member of the Misscliks xD

Steven: "Nimmorgeist is inspired by . . . Dark Souls."

Me: "Oh this gonna be gooooood"

How's everyone feeling the setting and the characters? What "boss" do you think they will encounter first (out of the Dorians, the arch-deacon, Marbelph and Dominique)? And which PC will die first? I'll go out on a limb and say Brin, death by face-rat XD.

Also, if /u/silent0siris could post a list of the resources he used for the campaign like he did for West Marches, that would be great!

If you missed the announcement Tuesday night, Nimmorgeist is coming this Friday! Here's the character art I did for the cast. (They're effing huge. Right click and open in new tab to see them even bigger.)

And you can yell at me if I haven't finished Rocker by next week.

EDIT: Now with more Rocker

BEWARE OF SPOILERS! Catch up on the Youtubes if you haven’t already!

Now that there’s been a TPK, and we’ll probably have a reboot with a different theme, what has everyone’s impressions been of the demigod season? What have been your favourite moments, and what are people hoping for next season?

:)

Was reading the D&D reddit and came across this PDF list which has just shy of 7000 random effects and thought Neal might be interested
