As someone who has run FATE for the last 12 years i can say that I have been exactly where Carlos is right now soooo many times. It really is a fantastic system to GM.
Also, for the record, helping me with typos does not make you “that guy” when you are being cool and respectful about it (like you were). It’s when people are shitty about it that makes it not cool.
First… Love being a DM and having my players that involved that you can sit back and watch how things play out.
Second… Brian no one needed to know the title of your Sex Tape… Who titles their… wait… what? Nevermind the second thing.
I absolutely love these moments as a DM
Times like this are why I love tabletop gaming.
Dude, the happy written on Carlos’s face is awesome.
Also, note please, the lack of any stutter. He may not even realize it’s gone right now …. he’s truly “in the (GM) zone” right now. 🙂
Nice! I totally missed that.
Carlos’ expression in that last panel reads “I was wondering how long it would take you to remember about him”
Love his expressions! Amazing work, Brian!
He is just sitting there, grinning, and it is AMAZING!
The joy in Carlos’ face is so pure… :3

Not to be ‘That Guy’, but you’ve got a typo in the very first speech bubble – “sat up IN bed”, I think? “sat up OF bed” is definitely wrong….
Oh! Thanks for catching that and having my back.

Seeing Carlos so frickin’ chill made me tear up.
Yeah, it’s kind of awesome to see Carlos in his relaxed & happy place.
I keep imagining Maxwell-5’s “Boombox Mode” announcement to have “It’s the end of the world as we know it” playing as background music now 🙂
Five minutes though, maybe not… Anyone know a danger/apocalyptic/imminent-explosive-demise-related track that lasts exactly 5 minutes?
Europe’s Final Countdown has a runtime of 4:56.
Exactly? Dunno, but Europe (the band)’s official video on YouTube for “The Final Countdown” is 4:56. Close enough?
These are the moments I love as a DM, the story just comes to life with the players without me doing anything
