This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Maron's whole schtick has always pretty much been Maron giving himself therapy, hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, but this episode especially so, since it's him interviewing people about himself. He also plays clips where his guests have given him some revelation into himself.
ReplyDeleteSo, sort of like "Let's check in with everyone in Marc's life and see how this whole '30 years of stand-up self therapy' thing has worked out!" ?
ReplyDeleteThat's actually kinda interesting. I fell way behind on WTF and stopped listening regularly a while ago. Will have to go and check it out!
That and, "Marc burned a bunch of people on his TV show and now he wants to apologize."
ReplyDeleteI have a weird relationship with this show. I started listening maybe 2 and a half years ago, when it was pretty well established already. I never listened to Air America, and I still haven't ever listened to his stand up. Although his latest show is in my Netflix queue. I have watched I think 3 episodes of the TV show.
So everything I know about Maron comes from the podcast.
Did you ever hear the WTF episode when Gallagher walked out on the interview?

His show on Air America (Morning Sedition) was brilliant, btw - even if you don't like the lefty politics (I do), they did some amazingly funny bits.
I heard of the gallagher episode, but never listened. I always mean to go back and listen to the famous episodes but haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I would have loved Air America, I just never got the chance to listen.
