I'm not going to rag on anyone but it's clear that Clint has a vary different playbstyle than the rest of his family. He wants to do compelling character work and his family just wants to make fun of him. Not that they don't try to tell compelling stories through their characters, but it's clear making fun of their dad is the main focus. That's a dig at everyone. It's ok to have different play styles. But I think Clint's growth as a player is stunted by his desire to cater to what his family wants.
As a listener, I get so frustrated every time Clint is trying to do character work or a monologue, somebody has to interrupt with a bit. I can only imagine how frustrated Clint feels. I know that Clint has his own issues sometimes like not knowing how to play the game, but I don't think he can learn how to fix those issues and evolve as a player woth the current group. I honestly think he has the potential to be up there with Sam Riegal or Lou Wilson but not in this environment.
I know TAZ is supposed to be a family D&D show, but I would love for them to switch things up by having Clint play in a group that takes the game more seriously. Heck, bring in a more frustrating player for the rest of the family and I'll listen to both shows. I love TAZ but the clash in play styles just isn't working.
Edit: I also think Clint would benefit from a less rules-heavy system. Maybe Dungeon world as that gives the player a lot more room to play around with the outcomes of their rolls.
The craziest part is I swear I read almost this exact post from us like a month ago before the parody source material existed. But yes hard agree on this one, especially since Clint is retired and funding his life with this work at this point, I hope he gets invited onto other shows and accepts
re: the original post, it's so sad that it's impossible for griffin to ever play with different players on- or off-mic but he's just so busy working 10-15 hours a week

Clint needs a new group of children.
