but it for sure led to it's downfall as you say

I personally wouldn't say that shift ruined urealms (I even think that the single s4 campaign, the yes king I think it was called was really good) Phijkchu_Pikachu Anyways to have some base level contribution to the current discussion. Around the end of S2 of URL and for sure already during S3. Rob decided that being f

this x100000 awjdnakjw PhrogDor Tbf I have had it pent up for a smidge too long lol

Rob just has a collosal case of "it ain't broke, let's fix it!!!!"

and I know that I'm biased because for my own game I took the stuff that I personally prefered so obviously I'd feel it's superior, and I was just creating my game for a group of friends instead of a huge show

there were so many 2 steps forward 1 steps back that preety much the game just kept changing instead of improving

But sometimes the character creation was improved but combat wsa downgraded, then combat was upgraded but meta stuff was downgraded, then meta stuff was downgraded and character creation was upgraded

Yeah I'm not mad about change because imo every iteration apart from s1 that obviously needed much more plish was great, every iteration s2 onwards I'd say worked beautifully LavaLord See, I don't disagree with the assessment that it didn't need more mechanical upgrades to it but... Okay, I'm in a longform game with a

like it just worked great

And of the entire game I shit you not I'd say the best mechanics is the progressively harder deathrolls from urealms

I GMed for years a tabletop RPG I created that like Urealms was simplified and we had different characters every campaign.

It's so baffling to me that Urealms as a whole had like 5 different mechanical iterations like that's so much fucking work when everyone agreed that s2 was already great

The shittiest thing about combat becoming meaningless was that they already had a great system when deadrolls went form rolling a 1 to rolling 1-5 to throwing a coin PhrogDor I think there are times for more story, but railroading it as hard as he did was a bit much. I think doing so for mechanics sake is what boned th

everyone was like "yooo that was so cool" and I thought wtf that sucked mega shit

Even as a kid I remember the last campaign of s3 Coe had by FAR the funniest character of the campaign, and then when the climax came noone got to do anything because it ended on an animation of Rob's character fighting a dragon or some shit

And then when player characters appeared it would be Rob playing them, completely botching their personalities and never doing anything of plot relevance

but by s3 we didn't follow up on any of those character's stories even when 99% of them were more compelling than Rob's OCs, because player characters were 10x more compelling than the super powerfull character played by Rob we'd then spent like 5+ campaigns focusing on

When random character from buttfuck plot irrelevant campaign #15 appeared I was like "yooo that's bubblefuck the wizard"

The best thing about Urealms was how every campaign expanded the world and added characters you'd spent several hours getting attached to

By the end the campaigns were railroaded so hard that sometimes it felt like the characters didn't matter at all and they were just viewers on Rob's campaign he'd play on his own

Campaigns had to move the plot further because it all had to build up to the scripted climactic animations and set pieces that rob had for (only his) characters

I think the spectacle issue is the biggest thing thay tanked the quality of the show, at the end of the day it all comes down to Rob's ego

If he'd waited a few years for his crashout I'm 10000% sure that urealms would've become massive during covid

Rawb is a generational fumbler

and a decade later I still think that

"damn this shit is the best content ive ever seen on youtube"

I watched url since it premiered and I distinctly remember thinking when i watched the first campaign

pls don't say this my heart breaks Spooky Phijkchu Can we swap to the timeline where Rob didn't take Urealms Live off Twitch

Another reasson to hate Richard Nixon

yeah, sucks he had to come during that time, esp if he liked the place so much from his first visit

Yeah just like doing the rough math I figured maybe the second time he came could've been during the dictatorship, lasted a while

A lot of celebrities and rockstars and stuff come to Chile to do a thing and end up buying a house here it's a meme here

yeah Chile has a reputation for like sucking people in, we're always called the australia of South America, we're quirky

hopefully not during the terrible years

Hey that's neat TinyBomby My grandfather was obsessed with Chile for whatever reason. Ran away from home as a teenager to Chile, and then later moved to Chile as an adult for a few years with his family.
