It’s always refreshing to see someone actually critiquing the product in a review without rose-tinted glasses.

My wrestling sucks. I should work on that, but I don't like being touched.

Very informative video 👌.Subscribing

He’s lying. All the power comes from the beard!

I hate those fucking symbols to replace a short phrase. It makes the whole thing so annoying to read. It's like introducing a single use kanji specifically for that system in that game.

If you're wondering what that odd sound in the background is, it's my dog, Dory, snoring... lol.

Organization bad.

The GM control is hard to let go.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

From a roleplaying point of view Pathfinder is equivalent to D&D. Good luck getting a Pathfinder game that moves beyond 2d.

If I’m understanding right, (at around 7:20) the dm/gm is not an entertainer and more a player that is instead of roleplaying a singular entity, they’re roleplaying the reactions and thoughts of the world around the others and how it’ll react?

That CEO Mindset is something we all should get a piece of.

Oh I also fail to mention a common flaw when people try to throw hard punches: flaring the elbow. Keep your elbow tight to the body while you punch to avoid getting tennis elbow or just general tendinitis. It’s also a tell. Jack Dempsey calls this “impure punching”, Ramsey Dewey has a good vid on it.

Good video. What about opening up the chest?

Mulled wine cocktail mixer? Just buy mulled wine.

Great video!

Autism unchained.

Time to show up for your Bowling team and toss balls into any lane... its FUN... Manners make a game more appealing, to ALL. There are ZERO manners in almost all RPG sessions and that is a MAIN-fail

Great video, I think a lot of people miss the joy of creation as part of consoomerism. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Goated video

It's like you say, it's hours of your life.

CAWFEE CAWFFEE DOES ANYONE WANT A FRESH POT OF CAWFEE

There's no wrong way to cook a steak. Some people just want to throw a frozen steak in the microwave and nuke it until it is grey. This is fine. It doesn't make the steak any less valid. It's food, just food. As long as it sates my hunger, I am cooking the steak the right way. Me and my dinner table have a blast cooking steaks like this. :^)

Amen, brother.

Maybe not everyone does, but a lot of us want to refine our tastes :)

Good job Ty!

This is so 2010 UA-cam I love it

Absolutely based take.

Oh, and that "D&D" at the beginning of the video is as valid as serving an old fashioned with vodka instead of whiskey. That's something I forgot to say.

People don't realize that no matter the "game" that there are always multiple win conditions whether codified by the game or player genesis. If you want to have a good time playing a multiplayer game make sure unanimously which win condition(s) are the goal. Otherwise you're going to be playing MTG with a guy who is running a cascade deck and you concede the game because his turn has been going on for an hour and he still hasn't "won" yet but is still very pleased with himself...

Oh man, that was hard to watch 🤣😂

"Some people are here to have fun, some people are here to train." I generally like this construct! But the frustrating thing is, people here that and will ask: "So are those training not having fun then? If youre not having fun, what's the point?" and I don't think it's a malicious thing, more of a struggle to understand the concept. I'd like to separate those concepts. We both know, learning can be fun too. Especially when you see improvement. Lots of people come to the Dance Floor to socialize, nod their heads to the music and have a good time. I've come to Tango.

Great use of the camera, and it makes for a great thumbnail too. Love it.

You shared lots of insights here. And I deeply appreciate you spending that much quality time engaging with the ideas.

Great video. I think Shonner would have enjoyed it. The smile topic is so spot on. A lot of those negative game reviews with 1000's of hours is also because the game companies make sweeping changes that aren't favorable. Hope you are doing good.

Not bad. As a power puncher 30 years ago , it wasnt the hands and wrists that had issues but the muscles in the forearms the next day feeling like broken glass

Great video. Thanks. You have some solid power behind some of those shots.

I hate how the thumbs are stitched to the side on boxing gloves. I regret not getting thumbless gloves just for that reason (I rarely use the gloves though).

Note: this is not about putting power out there, but purely about conditioning the hands to hit and be hit. So my lower body isn't putting much in there.

Jesse Enkamp had a good video about knife defence yesterday or a few days ago; I recommend it. Also, when it comes to knife fighting, your objective and the situation impact your approach a lot. Are you attacking or defending? Are you trying to kill the guy or just stop the combat fast? Does the other guy also has a knife or not? What kind of clothing are you wearing?

Yeah, feints are an implicit action of an attack. No need to make it its own action.

Is that a shaskah trainer?

Plenty of food for thought! Counterattacks seem big when it comes to weapon fighting (simplifying lol). An attack is rarely just "an attack" but rather part of a sequence of deflections, feints, parries and lunges, all in varying degrees of commitment. Wonder if counterattacks could make their way into an interesting mechanic somehow.

Great video. I like the transition from 1h to 2h in particular.

One of the things to think about is the lack of impact any given move has. Trying to eke out descriptions from every swing or swipe gets redundant fast. Ideally descriptions would describe the transition from a beginning state to an intended one, like a flurry of attacks pushing my opponent back against a railing or something. Same with defense, how do you thwart the incoming intentions of your opponent and either negate it or turn it around on them. PbtA is a meme but it's lessons still hold - actions without drama are boring, simple as. What are the stakes? What are we trying to get out of this? I stick you with my blade - ok, then what? We go again for another six rounds? Why should I bother narrating anything except the last blow? Initiative in the Storyteller system does this in an interesting way, where you build up initiative which is an abstract representation of cutting off your opponent's options, until you deliver the final blow. Exalted at least also has active defense options, where an interesting approach to defending yourself is rewarded with stunt bonuses iirc. I should say that I like D&D and Pathfinder, so I'm not here to crap all over it and suggest "have you tried not playing D&D?" For me, I keep combat interesting for myself by understanding that every move is going to be just one in a long chain of moves, and trying to eke out every little advantage in a given turn is a waste of time. I try to think tactically instead - where am I standing, what am I allowing, what am I preventing, etc. So my fights will usually involve finding the place that is most advantageous for me and then just hitting something until it dies, or adjusting my strategy based on what is happening. In this way, combat turns blend together and just become a single dramatic action, until I change up what I'm doing and then it becomes another extended action. You'll notice that when people tell stories about D&D combat they do the same thing.

My main problem with static AC is that it's static. You are being attacked by two or three people at the same time? You got the same AC against both. You're attacked by surprise? You got the same AC. You're attacked by one guy while doing something else? You get the same AC. I know some systems try to solve that (giving advantage for flanking, or having touch AC, flat footed AC, etc) but it's often overlooked or poorly designed. It also doesn't leave room for a meaningful non-obvious choice: that's just what you're AC is right now.

AD&D had a parry option for players, your attack bonus gets added to your AC. There are other rules that make AC more dynamic such as facing and choosing what attacks would be blocked by the shield. Still, it is a very abstract combat system that presents some difficulties to role play. The other issues you bring up are the result of D&D combat being more abstract than the rest of the game can be. It is possible to roleplay in depth, most every other area of play in D&D but the rules of D&D really enforce abstraction in combat. If you roleplay other areas of D&D then get into combat that has to be played out in a more abstract manner it can be very jarring, kind of like hitting a speed bump while going way too fast. The answer to both of these problems and more is to just play Mythras.

Very interesting topic. I know you from Shonner (I miss him quite a lot) but I am more of a video game guy. I have been doing solo TTRPG (journaling) since 3.5 though, but my thoughts on AC are perhaps skewed a bit towards that. I think anything that facilitates a more verbose description of the goings on during combat is a net positive. Looking forward to your next video. Take care.
