Last Action Hero
🕑 Added 2022-04-16 15:21:40 +0000 UTCYeah, so the next two movies both have a lot of people in them and are hard to schedule, it became clear that we were not going to have either of them ready in time to meet our schedule, so we brainstormed and remembered this movie that we had started just pre-pandemic and interrupted. We had always intended to keep going with it when we could be in a room together (it felt odd to do in-person and remote within a single movie) but then we kind of forgot about it. So when we were brainstorming how to get stuff on the schedule, we suddenly remembered that we could continue this one now.
Last Action Hero is a really great movie for the reroll, I mean, jumping into movies is sort of the whole point of it. Plus the infinite recombinational possibilities of being able to go into other movies. I actually don't know where this is going because we haven't finished it yet, but Lisa is doing an amazing job with it so far.
I guess the real thing to discuss is the different energy that comes with being in the room together vs remote. I think we've adjusted admirably to remote. Before the pandemic it was my position that the show could never work remotely, but I think we've proven otherwise. But it's irrefutable that there's a different energy with being in the same room together. There's just something more present and explosive. But you tell us, do you even notice the difference? Which do you like better?

I have two expectations for part 3: a brief mention of eggs, and Andy playing Old Mel.

I informed one of my players, who was also listening to this episode, that henceforth I would be adopting the Lisa Kopitsky Action Confirmation Tone in all my games. The first big difference I notice between remote and co-located sessions is that the back-and-forth is a lot snappier when everyone's in the same room because you don't have a delay and the crosstalk auto-fade that most video software uses. The second is that when three-plus people participate in one line of discussion, it goes much more smoothly because people can 'step' on the ends of each others' sentences better.
