keysi ellle

Catching up, do you ever think back to this episode and go, “hmm, COVID happened not long after you asked what’s the worst that could happen making a golden idol of Murph?”

Daddy Dekaye

As a raised Roman Catholic lad, I felt Murph’s panic when Caldwell mentioned melting the gold of the homeland into a false idol.

Gilligan Froggert

The absence of violence is NOT peace! Cheerio! Subscribed for life!

Dan

Definitely got a smile of nostalgia from me at the winkle in time reference

Oliver Jasper

Love the Yellowcard reference 😂

Kristina Croes

Griffin Mcelroy does camera directions sometimes, and it works well

1man2hands

Wait are Wrinkle in Time and Ra Ra Riot not good normal references?

1man2hands

"It's dope how bittersweet it is dude"

1man2hands

Murphy you’re goin ass first in the damn box

Michael Singer

I love how The Band of Boobs shit on Yellowcard....meanwhile I still listen to their acoustics. :P $20 bucks Murph was a fan in highschool/

Stefan Maroni

I doubt it.

Jeremy Umpleby

Do we think Luna bent a knee?

Nicole Jordan

this final arc is stressing me out, and i love it

Cole Johnson

Yes! Wrinkle in Time references!

rscx

I agree with thelovely1withahat, where is Lydia Stormborne!?

Alexander J Taylor

Ren absolutely would not have bent the knee! People do that for him. I would love to see him join the band of boobs against Thiala

Alexander J Taylor

It’s been awhile since I’ve laughed as hard as I laughed at Caldwell and Murph’s ”golden idol” bit in this Short Rest.

JBeev

There are some game masters like Adam Koebel who use stage directions as their preferred method of describing things in-game. It's a bit strange if you aren't used to it, but if you want to do that Caldwell, I doubt anyone would stop you.

Bea Munro

Pendergreens contract will be up before Theala comes back!!

foxyfungi

I'd buy NADDPOD whiskey gems!

Leo Gabovich

Dude, EXCELLENT wrinkle in time ref

Robert

Murph is a better writer than God. Everyone worship Daddy Murph. Everyone sacrifice a D20 in his name!

Terran Benedict

Oh SHIT

Kestrel

If you do a time jump, that means it will be past the 30 days of Geas on Pendergreens

Lauren M

Imma be honest, its been a long time and I don’t remember much for a Wrinkle in Time. But, that image of everyone bouncing the balls in unison? Seared into my small, impressionable child-mind

Mixxuie

I cried tears of joy to hear it’s guaranteed Ren will return.

Emma

The black and white horse got mixed up. The White Horse has different interpretations, could be Conquest, but when Pestilence is included, that's who it is. The Black Horse is definitely Famine though. (And Pale is Death and Red is War, but you had those right) I mean, they are whoever you say they are in this context, but if you're talking about the actual real-world symbolism, they got mixed.

They may have been too craven to pick a side.

Michael McDougall

But Murph praises Dice Christ, and to solely embrace the madness of the D20 does a disservice to all the work that Daddy Murph puts into the champagne.

Michael McDougall

I gotta know how Maganis and Coldain are. I feel like Maganis might be a crystal

Her Majesty, Claudette

Murph you are a dm on par and if not better than Brendan!!

GREYFOX!!!!!

Fun fact, in philosophy the absence of violence negative peace and the inclusion of social security and justice positive peace.

jacket22

rose for Murph making roughly 60 rolls in 15 minutes tense, exciting, and novel. I swear his flexibility with the goofs but focus to keep having ‘em throw them dice was a minor miracle

joel

well since pendergreens is currently in charge of hell and bev sr was banished to be with the dusk mother, the chance of that happening is slim

my favorite thing on the short rests is when you guys just shower murph in roses and compliments, it’s real cute.

Marisa

also, Bev is gonna come back from summer break, first day of highschool, gonna be a level 20 paladin, basically a lower tier demigod, in a room full of highschool dweebs

ShezInJapan

Emily took me back to 2006 with that naruto ending.

ShezInJapan

Check the music list on the episode! If something goes terribly terribly wrong, they usually play Valiant Ol’ Cobb

Kestrel

I was getting big World of Ruin vibes from Thelia ascending and the world getting ripped apart.

Drew Fitzpatrick

I yelled, “LUNA” when they started talking about characters they’d like to hear from. So excited about every episode to come!

Gabi H

good Camazotz reference 👌🏼

I love the parallels of people bending the knee to Thaila and being sent away and thanos snap in infinity war. All the speculation of who stayed and who didn’t. Also Instead of giving players new magic weapons all the time I like the idea of if their characters start with weapons that are meaningful to them (sword passed down in family stuff like that) you just power it up by seeing wizards or absorbing power from big bads they kill

Adrean Mays

The boobs should just say they were training for 30 days straight and demand a 3 level jump

Tig

Here’s a silver lining: every Pebblepot surely bent the knee, and so they’re all dead.

Jenny morash

RIP Denny and his entire lineage

Benjamin Stalnaker

I didn’t know how good this content was (my bad I know) and I’ve started watching Fantasy High and the second I pay off my student loans I’ll be sure supporting ya’ll until the end of time. Seriously, you guys have talent!! Thank you guys for all your hard work!

Emily

I love RaRaRiot thanks so much for that SUPER DEEP pull bev

Barback of Penance

There should be a Patreon tier called “The Cult of Murph” we are opposed to Dice Christ and embrace the madness that is a D20.

All Pulp! No Juice!

Caldwell, was "she played me like a damn fiddle" a Metal Gear reference or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

Thomas Friedlander

I want to know what would have happened if Bev had failed that final death save. If Bev died would Thiala have just brought him back to life herself since she needed him for her plan?

RJ Schoeneck

We're officially at the point in this campaign where I have to check the comments section before I click play so I feel like I won't be walking into character death :

tacticalgrandma

I will buy whiskey gems. Please put them in the shop.

Rachel Indelicato

I’m super excited! I have to say this though: what about Shadowfell? Will Lydia make an appearance? Technically, Thiala represents the Chosen (you know....milk) so..... I wonder if Lydia will send her revenge??? And also; wonder what the other gods of the light think.... could be interesting.... Thank you guys so much for an amazing episode!!

Emily

New Short Rest canon: Murph is a better writer than God himself.

Brandalf The Bae

I know Ra Ra Riot! I got your ref, Caldwell

Puck

“He drew a Wilson on a diamond” is my new all-time favourite throwaway joke on this podcast.

Ryan Coogan

Every time I see a new episode "Murph better not have fucked with Cob or Paw Paw"
