2023-11-03 05:24:40 +0000 UTCWhen are we going to get the sequel? The people want answers Murph!
Alex Herndon
2022-08-27 17:52:43 +0000 UTCsounds like Jake and Emily have their choice in the trolley problem made up. There's no shame in that, it's just interesting to see someone not even considering the other side.

2022-07-14 13:48:31 +0000 UTCevery single optimizer disagrees about monks being OP. Also people clapping back against "um actually"s always seem weird to me, like yes it can be annoying but now you have more information, stop whining
Summer Tribe
2022-06-15 17:05:55 +0000 UTCWhen Lou Wilson shows up to work, he shows up to fucking work. If you don't believe me, go to dropout and watch the episode of Game Changer where he blows Giancarlo Esposito out of the water in an acting challenge (GC was overacting but Lou was perfect)

2022-02-28 16:01:29 +0000 UTCBecause of Jabari I'm going to be playing a character who speaks in third person
Genaro Morales
2022-02-10 17:01:05 +0000 UTCAnyone else imagining Caldwell sitting there mic muted and only speaking up to take them out?
Foster Doss
2021-07-07 15:28:55 +0000 UTCOhp guess I was wrong 😂 I did think it was Henry actually
nonya bizness
2021-03-22 02:36:13 +0000 UTCLou Wilson was an amazing addition to the crew. What a delight and a pleasure!
Nikolaus Cox
2021-03-15 15:46:32 +0000 UTCIt's okay imo, they completely forgot about Stillness of Mind but it made for a much cooler fight with Lou reliving his fight with the giants.

2021-03-08 13:13:29 +0000 UTCHow long are you guys going to be doing this rotating hero's thing?
Hymntastic
2021-03-04 18:01:08 +0000 UTCSo real question: what style of musical would Jibari's flashbacks be? I was thinking either hard knock life from Annie for the Hexblood training or maybe the king and I.
Alyssa I.
2021-03-03 05:35:33 +0000 UTCNADDPOD gang: joking that the reincarnated god is Henry. Me: haha... ha... yeah totally... I didn't think that.... that's... ridiculous

2021-02-26 23:32:45 +0000 UTCI've never felt more seen than when Brian talked about killing Berkin at 2am
Nicholas P Neumann
2021-02-26 21:20:06 +0000 UTCAh, I see many have made this point more eloquently before me

2021-02-25 10:53:49 +0000 UTCRoses make rosehips!! Dragonhips anyone?

2021-02-25 10:53:17 +0000 UTCJake harnessed hardwon, that's why he crit so much
No Cool Name Ideas
2021-02-25 02:59:41 +0000 UTCWell, after more research, it appears that I am wrong and I apologize
Garrett Morrow
2021-02-24 20:58:05 +0000 UTCYes, but they aren’t melee weapons...
Garrett Morrow
2021-02-24 20:43:19 +0000 UTCUnarmed strikes are melee attacks.
Steam313 .
2021-02-24 16:14:27 +0000 UTCOMG MURPH I AM GOING CRAZY I haven’t seen anyone else say this! Stunning Strike can only be activated on a melee weapon attack, (aka your Monk Weapon). It says so right on the ability, page 79. “When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 Ki point etc... You cannot Stunning Strike on Flurry of Blows.
Garrett Morrow
2021-02-24 08:55:48 +0000 UTCAs your friendly neighborhood science teacher I wasn’t going to be able to resist bringing up rose hips and how many things we don’t think of as fruit are totally fruit. But many brilliant folks have already beaten me to it. So I’ll settle for saying I loved the episode & the arc! Thanks for bringing your creativity, joy, and humor to us!
Kelly Williams
2021-02-24 02:31:42 +0000 UTCSo poetic Narsty makes a comeback because jake first said those exact words in the fight against the coral reef drake in the mavrus chronicles ep 4 ☺️
Gavin Owen
2021-02-24 00:28:09 +0000 UTCYo I don’t know If Jake meant it, but when he said “that’s what back to the future is about” in response to going back in time as a charming person.... he was 100% accurate. Well done!
Dmkampz
2021-02-23 23:37:02 +0000 UTCI am imagining Jabari giving notes to the bards that follow him around playing his workout music. “No you sing it like this: “ my king!!” Looking forward to seeing Murder the Musical when it makes it to Broadway.
Crystal Reynolds
2021-02-23 23:03:03 +0000 UTCEmily - don't know if you're familiar with the British rapper and TV host Big Narstie, hopefully he won't sue over the new character! I loved this arc so much but am equally excited to check back in with the old crew!
Brendan Watroba
2021-02-23 22:11:17 +0000 UTCAgreed! Love that show, too. Fabian Seacaster is the best!
Tian Stele
2021-02-23 17:36:26 +0000 UTCI'm a bit late on this one, but I finally watched "The King of Staten Island" Really great movie and Lou was amazing. Congrats Lou! Can't wait to see you do more.
Wags
2021-02-23 17:32:26 +0000 UTCPoint being, it's not like this hasn't happened before and he's been known to do insane things given the right circumstances
Con
2021-02-23 06:22:54 +0000 UTCIn the final combat of the Bahumia campaign he was rolling 8 attacks a round, each of which was reckless and had a 18-20 to crit.
ExcArc
2021-02-23 06:17:48 +0000 UTCWhat's the stretch goal to add Lou as permanent fixture?
MightyMick
2021-02-22 23:27:24 +0000 UTCJake was rolling constant crits in the final battle in the first campaign too, so it's not like the rolls are anything new for him. Doesn't stop it from being absolutely insane.
Con
2021-02-22 23:18:01 +0000 UTCI think Fia's friend Irina is also a candidate
Nathan T Wilson
2021-02-22 22:20:25 +0000 UTCThis was so good!!!!
Jonnie Kimmins
2021-02-22 22:20:23 +0000 UTCGuys, you are the absolute highlight of my week. Mad props to Lou! His appreciation for you is contagious and he has said all the things I would say if I could sit in on a short rest. Murph, your creativity, wit, and commitment to your players shines through every episode. Jake, having been a faithful listener since Ep 1 in Moonstone, your development as a player has been a joy to watch grow with each new character you take on. And Ms. Emily, you are joy incarnate. I have no idea what your life has been like up to this point, but I want you to know you are the embodiment of every cool girl I knew or wish I knew in high school, college, and beyond. In fact there are moments when I listen to my 13 year old daughter and think, “man, she’s going to be that cool nerdy girl that doesn’t quit and embraces her quirks as gifts.” Sorry to get all sappy stories on you guys. Wait until Caldwell comes back and starts telling baby stories; I’m probably going to be a mess. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to when you can tour again.
Michael Lawton
2021-02-22 21:45:17 +0000 UTCRoses fruit! They produce rosehip which can be used for tea, jams and sauces, fruit leather and people use rosehip oil to try reduce scarring. Dragonrosehip tea sounds amazing tbh.
Mirrhi
2021-02-22 20:13:02 +0000 UTCSo listening to the short rest I think I realized that tarragon is only a lvl6 monk, with her 5 levels of cleric, so she wouldn't have evasion, since that's 7th level correct? So she would've taken half damage from that AoE attack. The outcome would've been the same but at least Murph would've thought he was being slightly effective in the fight lol
Keith robinson
2021-02-22 18:02:21 +0000 UTCSo good! We need more! ;)
Julia Storbacka
2021-02-22 17:40:54 +0000 UTCI feel like Murph told them the truth with Henry. Think about it, someone who relives life over and over again, never truly dying? Henry's cursed, his shadow turns into an old man, its been made out to feel like Henry if the cursed child
Ghost
2021-02-22 16:48:55 +0000 UTCThe whole thing is a fun ride but in particular, there's an arc where the main characters shift to a group of evil, superpowered master thieves trying to pull off a murderous heist against the world mafia. The main arc in the 2nd half of the series also has some of the better storytelling I've experienced.
FiendishNoodles
2021-02-21 23:58:24 +0000 UTCI just have to say that I was really into Eldermourne since the get go but this whole arc really sealed it for me. I love how lived in this world feels and it hits me right in my Diablo 3 loving heart. It’s just so great. And Lou was amazing and I really can’t wait til they figure out how to bring him back later. Honestly, I think it’d be really cool if after this next portion of the main campaign they were to do that “Narsty Smites” part of the campaign with another guest like Zac, Brennan, or Siobhan.
Vince Mascoli
2021-02-21 22:13:18 +0000 UTCWHEN HE SAYS "ARE YOU CRAVEN" IT KINDA SOUND LIKE CRAVING AND I'M LOLING HARD
Vonvonvon
2021-02-21 21:38:45 +0000 UTCI think I might watch hunter x hunter because of this 😁
Dre W.
2021-02-21 20:14:51 +0000 UTCI truly think they all would love HxH
Conor White
2021-02-21 17:05:16 +0000 UTCLou you did so well we LOVED ALL OF YOU this little side campaign was so delightful we cannot wait for more!!!
Sarah Sullivan
2021-02-21 15:24:31 +0000 UTCEvery time Emily and Murph talk about Naruto so reverentially, I get a big goofy smile on my face, and I don't even particularly love Naruto. They probs don't have the time or inclination but hunter x hunter is pitch perfect for them, complete with goofy and weird humor, switching in-and-out of main characters, excellent villains and great world-building. Maybe I'll PO box them some blu-ray to sweeten the deal.
FiendishNoodles
2021-02-21 12:07:36 +0000 UTCI think Henry is cursed by something he did in one of his former lives. Now Fia's childhood friend Irina on the other hand 👀 I'm not sure how common sorcerers are in this world so maybe there is something more to her
Saru
2021-02-21 07:50:10 +0000 UTCCheck him, Em and Murph playing on dimension 20!
Mick
2021-02-21 04:56:45 +0000 UTCMurph saying in the intro he watched Pokémon but was to old for it makes me feel seen.
rscx
2021-02-21 01:02:53 +0000 UTCMurph, you should check out the Mythic Encounters in "Mythic Odysseys of Theros." I think they'll help build multi-form encounters. I've used them a few times and I adore them
Hemlock
2021-02-21 00:11:50 +0000 UTCPeople keep saying that, but there are many maps and regular new heroes, and more than enough players to find games quickly.
Garga Lenoir
2021-02-21 00:01:24 +0000 UTC*after caldwell threw out his magical die in boston* we cut to the bleachers hours later, everyone gone, and we see a desperate Jake Hurwitz crawling in between the seats looking for the mythical dice
sesamese
2021-02-20 22:29:13 +0000 UTCI wish HotS wasn't on life support... I love the game, but lack of content is a sure sign of it dying.

Robert McDaniel
2021-02-20 21:44:56 +0000 UTCLou, thanks for being a part of this family. It has been a fantastic ride and we'll see you when the train comes back around. I am really feeling the Henry child theory. There are thing that Shank has said that make sense with this piece of the puzzle added. Plus the moral conundrum leads to he two casts of characters fighting each other which was also suggested. I feel like Murph is building a puzzle from different sides of the board and we won't see the full picture until the final piece. "Mans got chapters"
Anthony Felton
2021-02-20 21:43:19 +0000 UTCJust make Lou a permanent party member.
Eiden Weissblum
2021-02-20 21:36:01 +0000 UTCAbsolutely convinced Murph is pulling a trickster trick on us and Henry IS in fact the Trickster's child. Gonna get almost to the end and that's gonna be revealed and he'll get to be like "I mean I told you back at the end of arch 2."
Ash Hammack
2021-02-20 20:25:30 +0000 UTCThank you so much to Lou! You did an incredible job and it's been so much fun to listen to this arc!
Logenthar
2021-02-20 20:09:53 +0000 UTCHaving so much fun imagining the Hexbloods and the Choo Choo Crew crossing paths down the line. I know it’s impossible but what I wouldn’t give for all 6 characters to interact and react to each other!
B.Holmes
2021-02-20 19:47:00 +0000 UTCReady for some Dragonfruit and Narsty Smites!
Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord
2021-02-20 19:06:40 +0000 UTCIN ORDER TO REMEMBER THIS ARK THE RIGHT WAY I'M GONNA NEED A SHIRT THAT JUST SAYS "ARE YOU CRAVEN?"
Vonvonvon
2021-02-20 18:42:41 +0000 UTCRoses do fruit! They create rose hips. Also, roses are closely related to apples, so the dragon rose could grow some freaky ass dragon-scaled apples...
Frank
2021-02-20 17:04:58 +0000 UTCThis might be a pie in the sky thought about the future of the campaign but talking about Caldwell being in the next Hexbuds arc just had me thinking that Caldwell plays the one (1) who actually went through with the recruiting process and adds Bev energy to their crew
Maddy Leaman
2021-02-20 16:38:41 +0000 UTC@Murph : Would it have done anything if during the fight they had destroyed the king's head? Also the Leoric power comes from his incarnation in the vastly underappreciated moba Heroes of the Storm where he traps enemies (and more often than not allies...) in a tomb to drain their life and kick their ass.
Garga Lenoir
2021-02-20 15:39:20 +0000 UTCThey held back too! They didn't use Corbeau's hex, they often did the stun at the end of the round instead of the start, they didn't always use evasion... This could have been an even more brutal curbstomp!
Garga Lenoir
2021-02-20 15:37:27 +0000 UTCI love the show, but man... PLEASE ADD LOU! Both him and Jabari add something really fun and exciting that the main campaign doesn't always capture.
Gregory Warren Brown
2021-02-20 15:06:03 +0000 UTCI had the exact same thought as Murph that the King coming out of the flames was reminiscent of Resident Evil, though I was picturing Nemesis on fire and jumping into the river from RE3
Bill French
2021-02-20 14:16:20 +0000 UTCThe only thorn I've got is, that Cameron Diaz' performance was really lackluster this arc. Hope she step's it up, when the Hexbuds return
David Wieland
2021-02-20 13:02:29 +0000 UTCI think it was the Atlanta live show Caldwell chucked the hot dice into the crowd? Anyone remember?
Kelley Boonruang
2021-02-20 09:13:06 +0000 UTCBtw - roses do fruit! They make little berries that are called rose hips.
Cassandra Cordova
2021-02-20 05:11:06 +0000 UTCAs someone with ~*religious trauma*~ the reaper god gives me such bad vibes but I love how y'all are handling it.
Cassandra Cordova
2021-02-20 04:42:09 +0000 UTCI still think it's Henry. It makes so much sense with what Bad Shank said and I bet Murph made that joke to try and throw us off the scent!
Thomas Friedlander
2021-02-20 03:52:59 +0000 UTCI will miss the hexblood so much ! Please Lou come back soon. Love it so much

Michael
2021-02-20 01:55:10 +0000 UTCalso the best naruto analogy would probably be like “you’re sasuke and you have to choose between orochimaru and the rest of team 7” idk i haven’t watched that much naruto
H-Train
2021-02-20 01:11:26 +0000 UTC“that would be the weirdest twist” what do you mean “would be”???? i genuinely thought that’s what murph was implying
H-Train
2021-02-20 00:51:53 +0000 UTCGutted to say goodbye to Lou. His excitement to play is infectious and Jabari is simply amazing. Can't wait to see the Hexbloods later on

2021-02-19 22:29:16 +0000 UTCI am very excited to have Caldwell back, but cannot wait for Lou to return!
Nesve Fowl
2021-02-19 22:29:02 +0000 UTCI was pretty convinced that the child of the Trickster was actually Henry until Murph said it as a joke.
Westin Lanser
2021-02-19 22:23:29 +0000 UTCthe amount of money i would pay to see "Murder: The Musical!" starring Jabari the Safari....
Dana A
2021-02-19 22:17:40 +0000 UTCThanks Lou for Jabari the Safari!!!! Cant wait to see the Hex Buds again and cant wait for the Choo Choo crew! Also @jake this whole time I imagine Lake the dog is played by Benji from Yoga with Adriene
Erin Paxson
2021-02-19 22:14:41 +0000 UTCI don’t believe I’m about to be that guy, but what good is being a nerd if you don’t “umm, actually” sometimes? Umm, Actually Monks have proficiency in Dex and Strength. Every class has a major saving throw (Dex, Con, Wis) and a lesser used throw (Int, Cha, Str). I agree with daddy Murphy though, Monks can be OP.
All Pulp! No Juice!
