Hearthside Chats #3 (Q&A)

One of my players actually asked to play as a walrus person (think Tuskarr from Warcraft). I said yes, homebrewed him up a little something. It's gonna be interesting if nothing else.

Emily's the type of person that taps b after every fight to stop her pokemon evolving

The Plum

Yes please to the DM episode and peak into the closet episode(s) !!!

Alex Franks

You guys should do a one-shot live show of the boobs in their darkest timeline (Bev accepts Akarot's deal ect.) , where they side with the devil and have to defeat Thiala as evil henchmen versions of their characters in an alternate timeline

I always thought about bird PCs in that if they’re flying (using their wings/arms) they can’t use weapons, just a claw attack. It’s a good way to reign in players and keep it from being too broken at level 1. As they level up, they can “train” themselves to use one handed weapons held in their talons, but they still have to come into striking distance to use them.

I was skipping through the aarakocra part and I landed on Murph's mating call impression for about one second. It terrified me to my soul

BRENNAN IS GONNA JOIN THE BOOBS, I‘M SO FUCKING PUMPED

I admit that I was meta gaming a bit when making my Aarakocra ranger character but I also genuinely have always thought bird humanoids looked cool and got super excited to play a cool bird flying around shooting arrows. So when my DM told me I couldn't fly ever it just kinda took the wind out of my sails. I did eventually understand where he was coming from since he was a new DM. I just wanted to see what my dnd mommys and daddys thought of the situation

DM Court Attorney Opinion: Aarakocra are very interesting as a culture to play as. They have a rich backstory so if you want to play them for that it could be a lot of fun. I had a character a while back who was an Aarakocra fighter who's wings were cut off by Kenku. It eliminates the need to worry about a PC flying around while also bringing in some cool stats from a bird person. And maybe at a later level through the story you could get your wings restored... However, if you just want to play one to be able to fly then SHAME! The DM just wants to make the story fun for you and if flying at 1st level in their game interferes with that then no one will have fun.

He said if hardwon would've permantly died and stayed in shadowfell he wouldve brought him back for the final arc with the band of boobs as a dead human

Mark

Just a strange one, about 50 mins in, did Murph say that Shadowfell is the last arch? Spoiler?

As well as many other monster races. They’re reprinted in Xanathar’s guide to everything. It’s a pretty damn helpful set of books

WHAT IF (and hear me out here) Brennan plays as the widow

Jou Anodyne

Aarakocra are an official race and can fly at level 1, BUT they can only wear light armor when they do.

Walter Lajara

Wait Moonshine wouldn't go to Joe's crab shack?

Canid

Coming in as DM Court attorney. Aarakocra do have official race stats, they were released in Elemental Evil Player’s Companion.

Expedia the Forbbiden One

Next week; they're going to do a medium rest after they post the last trinnyvale (I think they mentioned this in an email, but I could be wrong about where I read that)

Benjamin Stalnaker

When will the short rest be posted?

Eliza Ball

I am ready to make SO MUCH art of Brennan's character
