[Talking Dad] Ep. 39 - Forgotten Realms

What's the deal with D&D podcasts? Right? Anyone? Is this thing on? We also discuss some of our failures and childhood crushes.
It’s insane to me how often you guys talk about losing listeners on the podcast. It’s just crazy how many people have bad taste

Anthony talking about the indie game Passage (which I haven't played, but sounds cool) made me think of A Short Hike. Great game, super inexpensive, a lovely experience. Highly recommend.

LOL, it was really odd to get an Erik Von Detten reference in this podcast. I am a dedicated listener of "Mom Can't Cook! A DCOM Podcast" and "Mom Can't Cook! Extra Helpings" so it felt like a weird crossover :D

Going back through, I realize this episode came out the day before my first son was born. I didn’t even know this existed yet. Thank you all.

Thanks for sharing your “failures”— could get sappy about what it made me reflect on and forgive myself for, but instead I’ll say: you are the best parasocial father figures an adult kid could ask for 🫡

But Freddie is so right about Gadget though! And Beth is also right about the Robin Hood foxes. I will also submit to the panel: Bianca from the Rescuers and Charlotte from Charlotte's Web. Like, why are they made to be so sexy? 🤔😬

Late to the party, but I love hearing you guys talk about your creative processes—both the good and bad. As a wannabe creative, I find it very inspiring.

Did anyone else think Matt was saying VGA Chess? I had a big aha moment when I realized it was VGHS.

The part where everyone opened up about their failures really resonated with me. It centered me and helped me realize that nothing is truly permanent, and that sometimes the best we can do is forge on and keep hoping, driving towards a better future and then you look back and it's been a few years and things aren't so bad in the light of day now.

Loved the Talking Dad episode! I would lose my mind if you all played Among Us together and recorded it :)

Will, I appreciate your emotional vulnerability so much! I'm an aspiring filmmaker, and I let my anxiety stop me from completing creative projects all the time, even those I really like. It gives me hope to know that I'm not the only one who has failed themself in that regard.

You know there's an entire anime dedicated to Ass boxing named Keijo!!!!!!!!

I thought Paydon is Frank's soul, just without the memories, so there's nothing to split?
Nathaniel Doughty
2020-08-15 07:57:47 +0000 UTC
So... if this Canary person can magic souls and homonculi, can she just split the two souls of paydon and frank? Like, can she fix that?

As soon as he said Ass Boxing I though "Holy shit it's Keijo!!!!!!!!"

Great concept except the players don't want to influence their children that much.

I had listener questions but wasn't sure where those go. So I posted in the community section a few questions.
I walked away from this episode feeling like it was the best Talking Dad I've listened to. Not sure why I enjoyed it so much but that was super fun.

Hey I just wanna say how much I appreciate the group changing the format for these talking dads. I made a comment a few weeks back about it and I’m not sure if they read it, but this new formatting was everything I wanted and so much more.
So thank you Will, Anthony, Beth, Matt, and Freddy y’all are really helping me get through these crazy and scary times I’ve gone through and listen to the whole show I think 8ish times now and it’s just, well, just really really helping me.

Oh my god, I remember following Matt’s devlog of Marbelot and I’ve always wondered what happened to the project. A tiny part of me was beginning to think I’d imagined it.

I think it’s important to remember that in a regular D&D campaign, you can have characters who still have to experience death or have characters who have to make moral decisions like the dads do.

It's always a shame to hear about people falling out of TAZ when they tried shifting away from DnD. I adored Amnesty and thought the system and modern setting was fantastic for their brand of storytelling and roleplaying, in similar fashion to how I think Dungeons and Daddies gains a lot from being tied to our real world and characters from it.

I'm vaguely upset to learn that nobody else had a crush on Xena: Warrior Princess. Lucy Lawless was, is, and remains my clearest delimiter between childhood and awkward puberty

Ok,so,I thought of this in a dream so it may not be the greatest idea,but what if the dads got incapacitated somehow and the players had to play their sons.

Beth is trying to think of Erik von Detten of Celebrity Mole: Hawaii fame.

I cannot believe Will actually invented Keijo!!!!!!!!

Your guys' love of Spelunky was, delightful to hear and I'm excited to hear there's a sequel coming out!

I’d definitely follow you without you using D&D. I prefer listening to different systems.
But strangely enough I hate listening to pure improv with no dice involved

I'd just like y'all to know that I'm trying to find jobs out West partially because it means I don't have to get new Talking Dad content late at night.
I mean, that whole "career" thing is important, too, but the podcast about dopey dads in a fantasy setting controlled by the dude who wrote Borderlands 2 is the primary factor.
