102. The Moist Bandicoots
Description
On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
Nothing gets Nathan in the holiday spirit like Die Hard. On this episode, we become John McClane and create a quest to stop an assault on a wizard’s tower. Is it part of a campaign or a one shot? How does our party get there? How do they stop the fantasy terrorists? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? All that and more on this festive episode.
When Frank Capra made It’s a Wonderful Life, he could only imagine that one day we would use the premise to create an end-of-campaign scenario for a TTRPG. Truly this would be his crowning achievement. What would the world look like if your PCs were never in it? How about OUR PCs? Should we be afraid to find out? Also, a spicy Nathan explains why he didn’t actually like the movie.
Home Alone is the best Christmas movie of all time according to ‘90s kids. Since Kevin McCallister is the OG murder hobo, we can easily take his home defense strategy and apply it to… magical bandicoots? How would we defend an abandoned town from a furry swarm of destruction? And can we remember where the family went in the 1st and 2nd movie?
