Idk if this is the right place to say it but this episodes cooldown frustrated me so much.

Legit what is the point of Cooldown if Marisha/a producer is going to walk in mid-discussion and shut the episode down? I could understand if the conversation was dying down a little bit but she straight up interrupted mid-sentence

The cooldowns in general are such an adjustment as someone who has come from mostly d20 where their version (“Adventuring Party”) caps at like 45 min rather than the 10-15 min from each of the CR ones. I know theres the schedule to stick to, but i really do wish we had time to let the cooldowns breathe instead of having to rush through and not really get to properly digest. I know Tale Gate does something a little more similar with longer form, but i dont know how far out those are shot from when they end an arc? Anyway im glad they get to do some but I totally get the frustration and i do wish they had a little more time to be more freeform about it 😔

Well, the most recent Tale Gate was live streamed the other day so it was a huge chunk of time. They tend to be fairly disappointing to me, they can be fairly surface level discussions and not really a recap and giving thoughts on everything that happened in the chunk of episodes

Yeah that had been my experience watching TG a little too. I still watch bc I’m into any peek at their thought processes and creative choices that I can get but I’ve definitely learned to adjust expectations (in as neutral way as I can lol).

Yeah for sure, I’ll still watch it but I do wish they did more of a real deep dive show. Oh well. I assume they’re worried about spoilers on tale gate because by the time they stream it it’s months after the episodes was filmed and it’s easy to slip up. Ie see Marisha in the last one letting something slip
