| [http://spoonyexperiment.com/ Noah Antwiler, aka the Spoony One.] He is a cynical bastard and an old-school [[grognard]]. Though many of his older reviews fall under either [[/v/]] or [[/tv/]], he also runs a review series called '''Counter Monkey''', which has become his unofficial secondary show.

| [http://countermonkey.com/ Originating as a text-blog in the dark corners of the internet,] [http://spoonyexperiment.com/category/counter-monkey/ in late october of 2011 he began making videos retelling his 2+ decades worth of experience with] [[roleplaying game]]s, [[LARP]]ing and [[board game]]s. His stories tend to be either recountings of games he was in on either side of the player chair (taking on [[Dungeonland]], killing an entire [[LARP]] worth of [[vampire]]s because they ttried to railroad him into a particular Covenant, and the finer nuances of playing a [[Bard]] to being kicked out of the [[RPGA]] for killing players and having a guy in [[Thieves' World]] be royally fucked up) or advice and talks about games and settings he really likes like [[Vampire: The Masquerade]], [[Shadowrun]], [[Cyberpunk 2020]], [[Planescape]] and more, as well as the fine art of [[DM]]ing with how to guide your players without [[railroading]] and punishing stupid behavior. Spoony is a harsh but fair DM who is willing to give his players some leeway but will not hesitate to [[TPK]] a group of dumbasses or people who riff on his campaigns.
| |
| | |
| He also looks over weird shit from the history of the hobby, like the ''[[Book of Erotic Fantasy]]'', ''[[Nymphology]]'' and that one time wresting was turned into an RPG for the [[d20 System]].
| |
| | |
| But do note that he cannot help but ramble: [[Wat|he once went on for 3 hours straight about only a couple of subjects]] and took over an hour to tell an anecdote how he killed a number of [[Star Wars|Sith]] in [[Star Wars RPG]]. As such most of his videos are not quick watches: you'd be served best by taking at least 1-2 hours off for a video of his.
| |
| | |
| And there are some completely legit criticisms to be had about his extremely-narrow idea of how games should work. At the very least, [[Old School Roleplaying|his nostalgia goggles are clamped on so fucking tight that they sometimes impede the flow of blood to his brain]], and he can't get past the idea that [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons|Second Edition]]-style [[D&D]] was an immaculate masterpiece and nothing about it will ever need fixing, changing, or updating ever. 3[[d6]], down the line, ''no backsies'' ([[FAIL|but rolling up and discarding several innkeepers until you get the stats you need for your iconic bard character is fine]]). If you disagree you're obviously a cowardly, pampered, boring crybaby whose opinion isn't worth shit.

| | |
| Spoony is more well known for Twitter drama and godawful streams these days, and Counter Monkey has ended for all intents and purposes.

| Now get off his lawn.
