Poor Rust :(

Does Murph say "Egg messenger" and not direct messenger at the beginning

I've tried working with oils like a thousand different times, and they just absolutely drive me nuts. Happy for folks who enjoy them, but god they're so messy, and they take fifty years to dry, and I simply can't. I can get all the effects I want with acrylics, and they're water soluble and dry quickly. Again, total respect for anyone who can make use of them, but I'm acrylics4lyfe

Oil paint > Acrylic always!

Fire episode

Pentagreens

spoilers for C3 and a fun fact: C3 ep 45 is when hardwon gets the kingshammer back, so when i finished relistening to that ep and searched "45" to find the corresponding short rest, i accidentally clicked on this aptly named C1 short rest ep instead lol

listening to these short rests is EXCELLENT! i have so many thoughts and questions that I just *need* solace on and it's great to pop over to patreon and be immediately sated. I was SO mad at hardwon for turning rust against them mid-battle, but when the alternative plots for rust surviving were talked about in the short rest and it was clear that teaming up with him would have been more metagaming than roleplay? felt so much better - i just love the "peaks behind the screen" i get here :)

Mariah K. Pixi

What about the ring of featherfall? Didnt Hardwon have that or did he lose it after they all used it together?

Noah Crozier

is anyone else having a hard time getting these short rest episodes to play? i’ve been struggling since about ep 40 and ep 44 has completely disappeared :(

Natasha

Oh my goodness, did Emily just hint at her role for the Unsleeping City (at ~11 min)?

Matthew

I agree but man when he was released that was epic!

Ranger Zenith

Why oh why didn't Hardwon free Ulfgar from the gem as soon as he got the hammer?

Lindsay fennell

I found you Alex ya big nerd

Ishan

would it ever be possible to get some episodes unedited? as a fellow player myself, i would love to hear a raw unedited episode to get a bit more insight into their game mechanics

What an awesome episode!! I listen to this on my drive to and from work and this episode actually made me tear up! I didn't want it to end.

Penny Garbo

I don't think this was covered: why did the dwarven guard tower have ice from the Dragon's breath only on the top and bottom with a gap in the middle?

Tony Trip

Hello fellow Design Thinking practicioner!

Tony Trip

Ha! I thought they said this fight would have been impossible to win since Akarot by himself is challenge rating 17, so adding the dragon (without him focusing his actions on movement) and the pale prince would have made that fight unwinnable. Thus why I thought maybe Daddy Murphy would have found another way to have the mountain fall apart. Thanks for the reply! :)

Antoine Audy-Julien

They did discuss it briefly; they would have had to fight the dragon, the pale prince, and akarot on the top of the mountain rather than just the dragon and the prince. Also they would have been more vulnerable to breath attacks by said dragon. It's okay I miss stuff too sometimes haha.

Taylor Roberts

Awesome episode!! Keep bringing that amazing content weekly, loving every part of it! Quick question tho (just posted it on the subreddit, but maybe someone here could answer, maybe even the almighty Daddy Murphy himself. I was hoping you guys would discuss this question in the Short Rest, but I don't think you did (or I might have missed it, I was listening to the SR in the middle of the night while soothing my newborn boy!). ***What if Willhelm had died during their ascent*** (e.g. when Moonshine was repeatedly using infestation on him, which was hilarious btw)? He would never have been able to use his 8th level Earthquake which then led to the insane descent... Would they have had to fight a losing battle up top the mountain or did Daddy Murphy have another ace up his sleeve to make sure the mountain crumbled anyways? Cheers!

Antoine Audy-Julien

Did anyone else accidentally read the title of the episode as King Shamer?

Pablo Martinez Belloso

Have not been this nervous since Scrumper saved the day!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Which was fitting since he woke it!

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord - Rock the vote, baby!

Any chance we can see the video Caldwell took of Jake?

infjeff

I love this campaign so much! Great work you magnificent band of boobs! P.S. Jake I just bought some of you bears oils for the first time 🤞🏻#2019 #yearofthebeard

Nico

Also Caldwell I’m the same way with saying sorry! My friends joke if someone stabbed me I’d apologize for getting blood on their shirt.

Nicole Jordan

What a beautiful episode! You guys blow me away everytime : ) It seems like we’re going back to galaderon now but I was really hoping that Hardwon would try to talk to Chord near the gash. I know it’s not important right now and probably wouldn’t have worked but I need his mom saved!

Nicole Jordan

wow what an ep

Loosh from CT

Great episode! I love that you guys started doing rose and thorn in your short rest, but the advantage of it over highs and lows is that you can also do bud! (as in “rose, bud, and thorn”). Bud is something you’re looking forward to next episode, so for example “can’t wait to slowly behead every member of the chosen” or “I am so looking forward to taking Acarot’s head and carrying it around oppa-Gallad style.” It could add a fun new wrinkle to it!

Alex Kahn

EPIC! This level of entertaining role-play and gaming is why I subscribe. Thanks!

Targott

I‘ve always thought that Akorat=Lich/Anti-Paladin. Maybe Anti-Paladin/Wizard that hasn’t yet reached Lichdom?

Targott

This was such a good episode. One of my favs!

Did I? It's been a while since I listened to that episode! - Caldwell

I think the Mythril Dragon was technically was a cursed dwarven king.

Jeremy Umpleby

I'm really going to miss frostwind but I'm exicted to see whats next (moneys on hillhome). Also I'm sorry i dogged you in the crickmas special comments murph my Catholic guilt has been flairing up like crazy when I get a patreon notification.

jacket22

Caldwell says up top that both he and Beverly have never killed a dragon, but didn't Bev kill the mythril dragon in Cragwater?

>devolved into a discussion of rules and checking books which I edit out! Any chance you guys could do an episode that dives into common rules issues or terminology for those of us who don't have the books? Like DC saves, spell slots, and more? It may be dryish but there are I'm sure many would live to hear it.

Sidratul Chowdhury

That was a hell of a beautiful moment with Gemma and Hardwon 💙

Marquisa Zrymiak

Any chance we can get what Akarot is? I think you said he’s CR 17 and I could not find a fiend that matched in my DnD research (I.e. DND Beyond). I would guess he’s also homebrewed a little (or totally) at least to have Kylo Ren’s voice

Leopold

Cool. I thought it must have been something like that. Just wanted to make sure I didn't get partial amnesia lol. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the awesome work.

Chris

Toma is alive, we just forgot to mention her in the NPC round up at the end. She was further up the mountain and found a safe peak once the Boobs turned to ice! - Murph

Not Another D&D Podcast

It was cut. She didn't have time to cast it, so it ended up being interrupted and devolved into a discussion of rules and checking books which I edit out! - Murph

Not Another D&D Podcast

That's it!

Not Another D&D Podcast

In the short Rest, Emily mentions one of her Thorns being wasting a spell trying to make the gash appear elsewhere. Did that get cut from the main episode or do I just forget hearing it?

Chris

Great episode as always

Brian Korda

You guys should make a "Big Crick Energy" t-shirt and/or tank!

Brian Korda

Three, why the heck haven't you guys repaired the dang airship? You have a ton of gold from Smugglers Bounty, and for half of this arc the airship was sitting in a literal city of artisans and builders. All I want is to see Hardwon wearing his captains hat, hoisting a banner of the Stormborn crest to the top of the mast, commanding his crew of Dwarf-ans into battle.

Zach K

Two, Bev 100% needs to summon Ram Daniel as his permanent steed with his find steed spell, take the cavalier feat, and fuck up the Chosen's day.

Zach K

One, where the did Tomma go? Did she ride that avalanche down the mountain like Apple Scrumper in the mudboarding championships? Or is she hella dead now?

Zach K

Loved this episode! BUT I have a couple of gripes for you boobs...

Zach K

revivify is also in 3.5 and was awesome. grats on the levelup btw

Rebecca Reeg

What type of NPC was the pale prince? I think Murph said CR 9...so maybe Champion from Volo’s?

All Pulp! No Juice!

That music when Ulfgar was released was bad ass!

Taylor Roberts

The mechanics of the fight was real dope!
