For All The People Who Got Into Ttrpgs Through Things Like Critical Role And Dimension 20 And Want To

for all the people who got into ttrpgs through things like critical role and dimension 20 and want to start playing themselves, I urge you strongly before you join full campaigns, to play in one shots, trust me they are a life saving stepping stool into learning how to play longer campaigns. I can understand wanting the longer narrative that full campaigns can offer but the skills that cannot be learned from watching others play (which trust me there are alot more than u think there are), can be learned at at least a basic level with shorter games and one shots, which have way less pressure and are much more suited to being a learning environment. Alot of people I know who just got into D&D recently think they can just jump into campaigns and it will be just like what they imagine and get disappointed and also overwhelmed by how much learning is required. One shots and shorter games help so much with just understanding improv, how a games mechanics works, and how to work with other people in telling a story while being a much smaller stakes activity. And I know alot of people are into TTRPGs for the long complex narratives but trust me even shorter plots can be complex and interesting and also I have to add REALLY funny because making stupid shit intrinsic to the world is alot easier when you dont have to uphold said stupid shit for many many sessions. And if u are like me you will come to love one shots just as much and sometimes even more than the much longer ones.

Hey, worldbuilding idea concerning "what if magic, but it's a science": the more you learn about magic, the more obvious it is that we actually know fuck-all about it. Like a layman will say "ghostly forces are more sensitive to the haunting ghost's relatives due to the bond of bloodlines" with the same obvious confidence as "a rock falls to the ground because it's heavy", while students of the magical arts are baffled by these forces, along the lines of "fucking magnets, how do they work." Nobody knows how any of this actually works.

An ancient mage who is famed to be the most wise of all the ways of magic will sigh at another confusing dead end, admitting something like "in all levels except physical, the fae do not exist", and someone with only happenstance experience with the supernatural goes "what are you talking about, of course they exist, I've seen them", and the mage, exasperated, agrees. Yes, of course they do exist. But they shouldn't. And we don't know how that works.

Since ONE person asked heres an unquantifiable portion of everything that I found during my fall down the rabbit hole:

Paul G Raymond Channel: https://youtu.be/N3DwWLfloYI?si=2-LLKvBX7CzPIcJo Both Luke and AJ are in this I fucking love the awkwardness mixed with the wholesomeness pls do go check out his other shorts too Paul is great

In Cahoots: https://www.youtube.com/@InCahootsComedy Luke and Paul's old comedy duo channel Civilized People is sooo good and both AJ and Luke are in it, theres also another skit with Luke called How to spot a terrorist Rosie Holt who has featured in some SFTH shows also shows up in a video! Agent Ironneck: https://www.lbbonline.com/work/81627 Tom stars in this one. I love it so much idek what was going on but I love it Two Actors: https://www.youtube.com/@twoactors1683 SUPER old channel by AJ and one Jamie Seymour AJ is in most of them and Tom also shows up in a few vids Camping with Greg https://youtu.be/SSl18E1a9g0?si=PnOVrQPMEFaofVQ1 the best one in my humblest of opinions @8:58 https://youtu.be/c4d6JscbDXU?si=lCi5Da3SCaIB12uD Luke and Paul doing a lil improv scene

The Educatoror: https://youtu.be/_jKtJw6sX4Q?si=6h6vsDgZqe5Sa-2r Luke shows up in episode 2 ngl I didn't watch the rest 😭 but as former tech class assistant I can confirm he got the role down In Cahoots on BBC Asian Network: https://youtu.be/y3QvluaHLrA?si=6uzd7LIcjyZGY5lD https://youtu.be/CaHjUaD71SY?si=JIk-QO0PcKK34pCZ Some More In Cahoots: https://youtu.be/dUoN3Z_cUqM?si=pfXtNAA1EPc0SAV4 Sketchtopia: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09yvksy The Monster: https://youtu.be/YsiFLYQopcU?si=a1D309KGZGoMaq8_ Luke (and Paul!) show up in the middle but I wld reccomend watching it through its a super well made little film

Support Acts: https://www.youtube.com/@supportacts4497 Three episode lil show starring Luke (and Paul! and Rosie Holt!) shame none of the vids seem to have many views cause I loved them

Black and White Bushido: https://youtu.be/H2q4j6T0y1U?si=QcBuNnNhmjFSHUxR Nintendo ad that Luke is in

The London Traffic Warden: https://youtu.be/k5H_zwOn6cI?si=fp8yJGvGUohqii8R I think Sam is in this??? But I could not point out where Dalstionian: https://www.willwebbful.com/work-1/dalstonian Absolutly beautifuly directed short starring AJ

The Pineapple Friends: https://www.youtube.com/@thepineapplefriends4075 Some improvised sketches AJ shows up in most AJ got some acting chops: https://youtu.be/ubpskHZWTos?si=tiJEs9QJR78BcDNq

AJJJJJJ: https://www.youtube.com/@lofifilm25 Ofcourse AJs amazing short films f r e d (is that how its typed?) is genuinly amazing plssss go check his stuff out its so freaking cool

Theres probably more stuff I mostly included sketch/acting related stuff this spiral mostly started because I had an energy drink for the first time in years and no pressing work to do and I just LOOOOVE the specific style of sketch comedy that In Cahoots and Paul and Luke did cause its the sort of silly shit I make with my own improv group and I just love those vibes. Anyways half this stuff was probably already found by ppl in the discord which I still have yet to join, and this doesnt feature lots of things they acted directed produced or wrote for, but thats all available online so go look for it urself. I also am new to tumblr so I have no clue if this will show up to the person who even asked for the recs so @hellsquills idk is that good???

couldn't sleep and went so deep down the sfth rabbit hole looking into every fucking thing these guys have ever made/been in and finding videos with like <50 views or from over 10 years ago and I can confirm these fellas have always been funny

About twenty years back, there was this weird transitional period after companies had figured out that harvesting their users' demographic information was a potential gold mine but before we lived in a hellish panopticon where any website operator could look up your IP address and know what you had for breakfast where some sites would try to get you to fill out, like, detailed demographic surveys before they'd let you access their stuff. Not just age, gender and geographic location, either – some of them would fish for employment status, marital status, brand preferences, even religious affiliation. A lot of folks I knew would just pick the first option in every dropdown, but my move was always to fill in the demographic information of the current Pope, at least as far as I was able to determine it (brand preference was always a tricky one). I like to think that, thanks to my efforts, their data sets are haunted to this day by a phantom pontiff.

schlatt takes mumbo on a boat date but crashes the boat πŸ€”

I legit want to write some short little Mumbo/Schlatt thing but I don't. I don't even know what it'd be about. senseless smut of course because that's fun but I mean what's the context. where are they at, where have they met. is it just Schlatt trying again to 'convince' Mumbo to get him onto Hermitcraft (as if Mumbo has control over that anyway)??

idk man

but I wanna do it

I have also considered doing Doc/Purplers because they gave me great vibes in that one video of Doc's. yet again I am forging new frontiers on AO3

did y'all know I'm the sole owner of Scar/Dream, Grian/Bad, and now Doc/Quackity?? turns out you can be the only person in a ship tag on AO3 if you come up with wacky nonsense no one else has reason to consider :D!

but Schlumbo.. I think we can make that a thing. I think that'd be fun
