Ahahahahahahaha!
I must admit, I enjoyed this so much!
I took my own advice from the last episode and just turned off my DM's brain.
Instead of analysing it as an
RPG Session, I started watching it as an
RPG Show.
And, in my not-so-humble opinion, this was the best episode released!
This is the third session of TITANSGRAVE and, as such, you can clearly see that some mileage is already accumulating from the previous sessions, with phrases and situations that create a strong identity to this party of characters. For example, the curious thing is that nothing happens in this episode! Besides a scene that serves to setup the cliffhanger ending, all the time is spent just shopping at the market. But because you already know the characters and the inside jokes, it shines! I laughed in so many situations!
There are a lot of funny moments and a lot of references to situations from previous sessions, that it really makes you feel like you’re part of this group! Everybody seems to be more engaged and having a lot more fun at the table! Also, in this session particurlarly, there was a lot more back and forth between the players and NPCs and a lot more interaction with the scenery, which made the episode richer and more dynamic!
Curiously, and I guess it’s because I watched this with a much more laid back approach, it was the first time I realized that a soundtrack keeps playing during the show, which adds a lot to the mood. At first, I thought this was added only in this episode, but after going back to the previous two episodes, now I hear it’s always been there. So good, it gets my seal of approval!
Remember: grab a bag of chips and a coke, and tune in to a nice 45 minutes RPG sitcom.
Go have a good time! The next episode has so much potential, I can’t wait!
Disclaimer: Due to a recommendation from Fildrigar, I recently watched Dragon Age from Tabletop. I won’t go into it, but I hated it. Nevertheless, it made me better grasp the limitations of this format of show, and how much TITANSGRAVE is pushing it. Probably, this also helped me appreciate much better Wheaton’s effort here.
"Five gold and a party!"
