I don’t get the DCs and “success/fail” in this context, can someone explain? Where would a 5 be a success and 20 be a failure?
The DC to convince the hangman is 5, the DC to convince the head guy is 20. DC stands for Difficulty Check and it is the number you have to pass or meet on your roll + bonuses.

So is the joke that the PC convinced the hangman (who only needed a 5), hence the “success”, but failed to convince the leader (who needed a 20), hence the confused guy reading “failure”?

I didn’t know that the second guy was supposed to be the leader, that would’ve made more sense. Thanks

Makes sense if you’ve seen the movie
Which is…?
a collection of still images played at a constant framerate and paired with audio matching what is shown, usually for entertainment purposes
Surely you can’t be serious!
I am. And don’t call me Shirley.
Thank you for elaborating, no notes. I am now perfectly at ease with the current state of affairs.
Glad to be of help! Let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with.

Technically the framerate does not even need to be constant! It’s not rare to have minor fluctuations for effect; though following this thought through one could argue that slow-motion segments are actually higher framerates.

The question then becomes are we talking about the raw footage or the processed clip? Then we also need to ask about different regions and systems, that can have different standards for output. Then the source material could be one framerates, and the output could be another!

… What was I doing again?

… But that’s not important right now
