2026-01-19 03:17:11 +0000 UTCThe past few episodes, Norm started to become my favorite of this season until Scary told him he was the glue 😭 (I have had Scary for 48 episodes and if anything happened to her - ) Normal really is the glue - he's the only one of the teens that hasn't betrayed/turned his back on them at any point (I use the word "betrayal" SO loosely, like Taylor's "betrayal" was leaving Linc to potentially die at the hands of the FBI, LOL). Someone give that kid a hug.

2024-11-06 15:24:10 +0000 UTCNormal is the most season 2 character. First time I listened to these last few episodes Normal was the low point. Every other time I listen, he's my favorite. Will did such a good job, dang

Nicole Jordan
2024-01-12 08:19:31 +0000 UTCSPOILER . . . . . . . . . . Honestly, it should be no surprise that Anthony would pull a surprise baddie disguised as another goodie at a key moment. It’s not like he’s tricked us before… (S1 Finale episodes, GoW Ragnarok)

2023-12-26 16:05:43 +0000 UTCThis is gonna get drowned and I don’t even know why I’m commenting. But FREDDY YOU DONT NEED PERFECT CONDITIONS TO SNEAK ATTACK YOU CAN SNEAK ATTACK WHENEVER AN ENEMY IS ENGAGED ON ONE OF YOUR PARTY MEMBERS OR PREOCCUPIED WITH ANOTHER ACTION TAKING THEIR FOCUS AWAY.

Harrison Lee
2023-12-22 00:33:03 +0000 UTCThere's something very chilling about a grown man putting a collar on what we perceive to be a teenager 🤔 troubling!
Maddy

Sam J Murphy
2023-12-21 20:18:28 +0000 UTCLike I get that they don't follow the rules, but damn it frustrates me when they can do something RAW but think they can't, so then make up some crazy reason why they can. Freddie can use sneak attack as long as a friendly is within 5 feet of the enemy. I mean the whole flaming marshmallow thing was way more dungeons and daddies, but still Freddie that's like rogues main thing you should atleast know how that works

Corey Cox
2023-12-21 05:37:40 +0000 UTCUnfortunately that’d be Banishment rules, Plane Shift is instantaneous and you just are there.
Benjamin P Parson Gomberg
2023-12-21 03:03:04 +0000 UTCAm I crazy? I swear Anthony gave the players the ability to pick one item from the patreon submissions every episode, but they haven’t done it for like half the year. Did they ever roleplay a reason why they don’t do that anymore?
Alex
2023-12-21 02:43:11 +0000 UTCWho is going to tell Freddie that stairs wouldn't work upside down either. You'd just have a slope or like, a pit.
hi hungry, I'm Beck
2023-12-21 00:43:49 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to their wedding anniversary! 🥰♥️🔔
Seaglassslipper
2023-12-20 23:20:39 +0000 UTCAs a heads up, you don’t need to be SNEAKING for sneak attack to apply. As long as an ally is next to the rogue’s target, sneak attack activates. Just making sure you guys know for the future.
Kyle Dawson
2023-12-20 22:09:03 +0000 UTCIf the gang reads these, I need Beth to know I heard the multiple excellent jokes that went unacknowledged by the rest of the group. They were fab and her genius is wasted lol.
WolfGirl
2023-12-20 21:58:43 +0000 UTCThe friendship bracelet is definitely the way to beat Willy. Also if Normal wasn’t concentrating then Willy will be kicked out of heaven in 60 seconds.

2023-12-20 17:59:03 +0000 UTCI gotta pause for a meeting, but goodness gracious Anthony! The line “I know you did the best that you could, but you needed to be a lot better” physically hurt 😭💔 Hitting all my insecurities when my best effort fails, oooooof, top tier as always.
Ellen H.
2023-12-20 17:53:40 +0000 UTCWai a minute! Will states normal has great trigger discipline, but that can't be the case! The memory is the last training his parents did with him, where he had terrible trigger discipline :0
