The trick with the stun wand was quite good. Say what you will about this group, they're inventive.

I really like the advantage / disadvantage mechanic in 5th ed, which I know only from this podcast.
It's a clever way of doing it and shown relatively well in that shock wand bit.

I also like people being given advantage for good roll playing.

For an inexperienced GM, I'm really impressed with the way Griffin manages to balance rewarding good creative play while still challenging the party at every turn and not allowing them to just skate through any conflict.

My favorite bit that got overlooked by the brothers was their dad claiming to have went to the police academy... movies.
