  • @janeweber8654
    @janeweber8654 2 роки тому +7574

    Personal headcanon is that for Jester it's not exactly 25 words, it's *roughly* 25 words and Travis is playing the Traveller trying to keep up with her during these moments. When Travis miscounts or gets it wrong, no he didn't, the Traveller just lost count and was like "that sounds about right".

    • @GoldnDusty
      @GoldnDusty 2 роки тому +680

      The one where he sort of goes “Oh shit!” and has to catch up on like 10 words and completely miscounts. In that moment, I imagine he reacted like Odin/Loki in Thor Ragnarok, just setting down a cocktail and completely screwing up the word count.

    Real talk for a moment: The ways Laura used sending actually changed the way that the spell was used for regular players. People realized the weaponized capability of the spell. It could be used to harass an NPC and even prevent them resting. It could force the DM to find ways to block its usage or deal with the interruption it causes. All it took was some thinking outside the norm.

      Fewer than you might think, at least for us vets/OG players. Sending was easily the most commonly-banned spell I've ever run into as a player, and I was personally responsible for that at two tables. But, that was OD&D when a high enough level caster could prep and cast it nine times a day, especially on DT when you had nothing else to prep. One of the tables I played at in college already had it banned.

    I think what we've learned is that Travis has a loose grasp of how many words most words are

    27:30 is one of my favourites and almost makes me cry lol.
    First, there is the _"It's me... Jester!"_ instead of just "It's Jester" and you can see Travis going like... "what the f are you... aaaand there it is" LOL and then it just get progressively worse 🤣
    _"Hey... I don't know if you're alone... if you're not (...)"_ instead of
    _"If you're not alone"_ 😂😂 and then the double situational oh my god how is this possible 😂😂

    I love how Jester consciously learns to limit her words over the series
