Really enjoying the Ironman videos. I just started playing DF and learning as much as I can. Also the everyday family and life stuff is super relatable to me. Fun to hear while watching DF.
I love this weekly Daggerfall trip you're giving us. You were wondering about the word "demesne" and its meaning and pronunciation is basically "domain"; I learned it thanks to an OSR book (On Downtime and Demesnes) :P
The tales of your day and events from the past are pretty enjoyable, while watching daggerfall. 10/10 Congratz from Argentina and wish the better for you and ur family.
I really enjoy listening about your outlook on life and about your creative escapades, it helps me frame my own thoughts about similar topics differently. It's always neat to hear what others think about stuff I like :)
Loved all your thoughts on the Iliad and the Odyssey, but the "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" statement that started it all actually has nothing to do with Homer! It comes from the practice of looking at a horse's teeth to determine it's age, and basically means "don't try to find a flaw in something that was given in goodwill."
I've been watching your Ironman adventures on my commute. And while I love your Daggerfall commentary, you've been dropping some real nuggets of wisdom when it comes to real life experiences. I've learned some much from being a dad as well.

About your spell system: I am in the process of making my own rpg system for Warhammer. The goal is that it should be as easy, intuitive and efficient as possible. A large part of this has turned into realizing that when possible it is better to let players make up stuff they want instead of making rules for a gazillion spells/talents/skills/etc that never get used. So my casting system ended up as: 1: Player makes up what he wants to cast based on the kind of caster he is. 2: GM approves, if it fits the magic type of the caster, and sets a difficulty for it. 3: Player can spend turns preparing the spell to lower the difficulty by paying Stress/Fatigue. 4: Player rolls to cast it and GM describes effect based on the result of the roll.
Hey thanks for the ideas! I also agree that keeping things streamlined and intuitive is important. Lately I've been leaning toward using a stamina/stress system instead of mana or spell slots so that casters and non-casters both have an additional resource to play with for their cool abilities. I like the idea of not having spells explicitly written out, as I don't really like learning about each spell that exists when learning a game, but my concern with doing away with pre-made spells entirely is that some players benefit from having a framework to play around in. It's also a bit difficult to scale spells that accomplish different things. For example, one player wants to cast a single target fire bolt spell that will do d6 damage on hit. Another player wants to leave a recorded voice-message that plays if someone opens a magazine to a certain page. How much does each spell cost? I think DM fiat is king in this style of play, but these kinds of ambiguities give me some pause when working on the system. Thanks for the ideas either way, I can see myself incorporating something very similar to the system you're describing when I'm testing Ammomancy c:
@@micah_raygun_ The trick is really to not let players say *exactly* how the spell turns out. But rather give a general description of what they are trying to do. So the player would need to describe "I try to throw a fireball at the monster." and then you might follow up with "Is it a large fireball?" Does it explode?" and then that sets the difficulty. The player might then suddenly roll really well and the spell is way more effective than expected. Granted I am using the dice from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3ed where you might end up with results like "You succeeded very well, but it cost extra fatigue/stress and something went critically wrong." Which in this case might be that the fireball exploded and caused a negative effect in addition to causing a bunch of damage to the monster.
Yeah Astyanax/Scamandrios is like a toddler at most, I forget exactly the words used but for my Greek literature exam we had a passage about Hector looking for Andromache before he goes off to battle and he's described as an infant/baby and is carried by his wet nurse. also yaay Fire Emblem

I get the same headaches if I only drink 1 or two cans/glasses of most alcohols lmao. Blessing indeed most likely. Also MTG is one of my faves, played in HS and spent admittedly way too much $ on it.

This was a very enjoyable episode. I really need to set foot outside of Daggerfall and its immediate environs. Sentinel really seems like a fun place to look around. Do you need a significant number of mods to make Hammerfell stand out from Highrock? I always like hearing people discuss classical poetry and epics in everyday contexts. My father always was a huge fan of Hector and I also think he is the most admirable person in the Iliad. As for Odysseus, I think you raise quite a few good points about how deceptive and violent the dude is, and it is interesting that while he is a cultural hero in classical Greece, he is a cultural villain for the Romans, as we see in the Aeneid. I think it is helpful to recall that Odysseus is the grandson of the famous thief and trickster Autolycus who was such an accomplished scoundrel that Hermes granted him special favor. I think that the Greeks in the period in which the Trojan War occurred existed in a cultural state very similar to that of the Scandinavians during the Viking ages. The Greeks were sea raiders who valued martial prowess and cunning, that is those traits that can be the basis of deeds worthy of the poets. It is only later in the Classical era that the Greeks became self critical as we see in the poetic retellings of people like Euripides or the philosophizing of Plato. A couple of things: First, I think that Iphigenia was the daughter of Menelaus' brother, King Agamemnon (who led the Greek host in the war), and the sacrifice was the reason that Agamemnon was betrayed and murdered by his wife and her love after the war. Second, another really scuzzy person in the Greek roster was Neoptolemus, the son of Heracles, who butchered King Priam's remaining family before the king's eyes and then, sneering at propriety, killed the elderly king himself. It is true that the Trojans sinned against hospitality, a big offence against Zeus, in stealing Helen, but some of the members of the Greek roster are downright deplorable.
I don't think I have any mods that affect how Sentinel stands out, but Cliffworms' Fixed Desert Architecture is a staple these days, and the DFU settings (after launching the app, but before opening Daggerfall) gives you the option to change the dungeon interiors to match the regions climate. I like playing with that enabled. You're right, Iphigenia was definitely Agamemnon's daughter. It's been a while since I've read this kind of lit and I wasn't planning on going on this rant in the video yet here we are 😅 Makes it even more messed up that someone else's daughter was killed to get Meneleus' wife back. There's actually a ton of vile skulduggery in Greek mythology--I think there's this trend where as a society gets more "advanced," they tend to get more at ease with carrying out treachery to get the desired results, and things like honor are not prioritized as highly.
@@micah_raygun_ Thanks for the info on matching the dungeons to the climates, and I'll have to check about the desert architecture. On the topic of the the myths, I find it interesting how there are multiple variants of the story of Iphigenia's sacrifice to Artemis. In some, it is entirely Agamemnon's fault and doing. Others have Menelaus working to make sure that Agamemnon's second thoughts don't stop the sacrifice which Artemis demanded to get the winds blowing. Also, in some versions, Iphigenia is killed on the altar, but on others Artemis takes her away and replaces her with a deer. If I'm not mistaken, the versions where she lives on in a distant land are somewhat later. An interesting version of the story was written by the German Enlightenment author Goethe, which is worth checking out. It is kind of parallel to the version by Euripides.
Second comment here but I just watched the part about Odysseus: to add to his misbehaviour let's remember that he spent literal years with a woman before sailing towards home again. Dude was just a disaster. If you liked the Iliad and the Odyssey you should take a look at the Eneid, the Roman epic poem (I sec. BC) about a survivor of the Iliad war whose descendant would end up becoming the first Roman emperor (Augustus)
Based classical lit enjoyer I like the Edneid also, it's a nice culmination of the styles of literature that we see in the Iliad and Odyssey. My brother gave me a copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which will be the first time I'm reading this kind of literature since college. Pretty nostalgic c:
@@micah_raygun_ The Metamorphoses are very very good, yeah! If you're looking for some picaresque fun I could also suggest Petronio's Satyricon, shame that it's mostly incomplete and fragmented but it's a good read nonetheless. Atm I'mkinda working on an hexcrawl based on the Argonauts by Rodio: having a classical background here in Italy certainly helped me enjoy this subject more ^^
@@solaris_cc4353 that hexcrawl sounds awesome! I love the idea of going from island to island in your skiff, upgrading to larger vessels to traverse large distances more safely, etc. pls keep me updated with your progress in the comments once in a while c: Being from Italy sounds so cool! I'm generally good at being happy wherever I am, but a lot of literature I've read (The Stones are Singing, Prince of Foxes, all the classical lit) has certainly made me romanticize what life would be like in Italy
@@micah_raygun_ Well once you live here it definitely feels like a normal country, nothing to romanticize about really :) But yeah I'm in love with European and Italian history and culture, that's for sure ^^ The hexcrawl project will probably be on hold until i finish my Black Sword Hack campaign and an Evils of Illmire hexcrawl, but I think about it from time to time :)
@@solaris_cc4353 I think many Americans in my generation like the thought of living in a place where you're less reliant on highways and cars. Public and transportation and walkable cities are my jam, and you just don't really get those in America. If we didn't have the support system of our family, who help us to raise Hudson, we'd be planning our escape as we speak lol
Yoo Shiner Bock is my favourite beer. First one I ever had. Having that with some whiskey alongside is the best. I actually like Odysseus myself, and I never had an issue with the most clever of the Greeks pulling his trickery with the horse seeing as it was a 10 year war. The sacrifice of Agammemnon's daughter was ehhh (but in some stories she was saved by Artemis). At the end of the day a lot of this was the result of the gods having a spat that the humans were the means of settling. Odysseus was just a tool of the gods to have their will be done. Fated, I suppose. I disagree with calling him evil. He's not good, but I can't really condemn him. Spent a lot of time in uni writing on greek lit (and I grew up on it), so I am a bit opinionated.
I'm also a bit opinionated about the topic, as you can tell. We might have to agree to disagree on this particular subject, as I have a pretty broad net for what I consider to be evil. And it usually encompasses any blatantly selfish deed, especially if it involves deceit and cunning. I was really into Greek literature in college also, but it's been harder to get into lately. If anything, Odysseus's adventures spawned a whole slew of awesome stories and archetypes that will get revisited, reinterpreted, and recycled into new media until the end of humanity, so that's pretty cool if nothing else.
I think maybe you just needed to be level 7 to start the Prince Lhotun quest? Anyway if you're interested in bouncing TTRPG ideas i've been working on my own for awhile and I feel like we have a lot of similar ideas/approaches to things.
That's possible, though it would be weird to get the note for Lhotun's quest before having the requisite level. I don't remember what my level was but we have the technology to go see lol. I read on uesp that you can't start the quest if you have negative rep with Lhotun, so I'm just assuming that it went like: Invited to the quest > caught stealing in a temple > negative rep > quest for nobility to improve rep I'm always down to talk RPG ideas, the hard part is finding the place to do it. We're most likely to bump into each other on discord servers I suppose
The big, sloppy, loveable one is ~213k. Meanwhile the first entry in the trilogy that was heavily outlined and more concise is 91k. I still like that first project and would like to reshape it into something that meshes a bit better with my current tastes, but that's going to be on the back burner for a long time.

Wow that makes way more sense than how I've been interpreting it!
There is an expression "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" though which is applicable to the topic.
I love putting this on in the background while I work!
