Worldbuilding: The Demographics of Capital

The difference between 68% and 69% chance to hit is that one of the players will make a bad joke every time they attack for the latter one.

Those are cat scratches. I'd know those marks from a mile away.

This really cuts through some of the boring fluff that slows down my world building, thanks Matt

So are we not gonna talk about the xenomorph that was...hanging out... on the set for the first 5 mins of the video?

"Ankh-Morpork is built on black loam, broadly, but is mostly built on itself; pragmatic citizens simply built on top of the existing buildings when the sediment grew too high as the river flooded, rather than excavate them out." in reference to your Capital is mostly built on Capital quote that you made on your stream.

Nothing to add. Just supporting the channel. Awesome work again Mat

For some reason the idea of an aboleth owning it's own company by enslaving workers with it's charming ability seems really apealling to me.

5:18 Holy crap, you worked on Mercenaries? Probably my favorite single player game ever. Driving C4 laden Sungri Scout Jeeps I stole, full speed into NK tanks, jumping out and popping them off is one of the best memories I have of a video game, ever. I launched a jeep into a reactor cooling tower with C4 once, probably 15 years ago and it's one of my all time gaming highs, heh. Good work Colville.

"I don't know why, I just think that'd be cool" sounds like 90% of my worldbuilding

"Pagh! ...all true Riojans despise that city!" Capital - not the greatest city of this or any age but a symbol of oppression.

Lol. Over a minute in to the discussion, half-way through your sentence: "Hey everybody. Matt Colville here..." This is the pinnacle of polish and expertise. I love this channel.

I initially thought he said his undercity was called "The Lairs". After watching the twitch stream I realized he is actually saying Layers. Much better.

The categories are SO MUCH BETTER. And, I love the idea of the the undercity being called the Layers. Thank you to the chat person who suggested that.

One thing I would recommend for people to do is to look at cities in the American South, like Houston, Atlanta, and such. They started off segregated, were de-segregated, and then grew like weeds after Air Conditioning was invented (seriously). So they make good object lessons for people trying to work out demographics in their D&D setting.

I truly appreciate the window Into your mind, you so clearly enunciate a thesis. I would love to play a game with you as DM. I always hope to bump into you somewhere in south OC!

Running an evil campaign where my players will be slowly working to take over a city, so i'm trying to really develop a single city for them to explore. This might be good idea to help with the demographics of the city.

I'm gunna steal yo $hit. Thanks.

I watched the stream and wondered how you were going to edit that mess. And i struggled with the digressions. What you said about how twitch and you tube being for different people who wanted different things finally clicked in my head, and i realized i had the wrong understanding of what i was doing, i was participating in something. And about the last hour i was able to enjoy The cut and trust of the conversation instead of being annoyed at the other people in the theater for talking over the movie. So thanks for opening my eyes on that. Here's hoping for an amazing 2019 (2018 sucked) and congratulations on living the dream.

Loving Strongholds and Followers! I know it would take awhile, but for someone who isn't on Twitch, I would love to see the streams here on Youtube. Obviously that is totally up to you and whether you want to devote that much time to editing. Thanks for everything Matt!

Matt, thank you for the amazing content you and MCDM put out. It is greatly appreciated by the community you have grown here. Peace... out!
