2025-02-14 02:50:07 +0000 UTCWithin the world of Umora, there are many great spirits, with some holding very close relationships with mortals. The great bullfrog is a spirit from around Twelve Brooks (where we be going), who's magic seems to be connected to some of the local people, giving them the ability to do frog stuff (swim, croak, bubble magic, etc?). It was revealed in episode 40 that the Citadel has been taking the local people and their children who show that frog magic.

2025-02-14 02:49:06 +0000 UTCI was convinced Lou *cought* sorry, Philip Orca was making up the final scene details about Wizards 1977. Well, having gone and watched that scene. Wow. What a film. Praise be the most leprechaun looking gun wielding wizard hitting his brother with, "im glad you changed your lastname you son of a bitch".

2025-02-11 03:50:58 +0000 UTC“Eursulon is desperately reaching for anger and rage and cannot find it. Whatever kind of red molten feeling he wants to have, it is replaced by the clear white feeling of purpose.” Hello friends, I hope you are told often and effusively about what your work means to people. But, if you’ll allow me, I want to thank you one more time and share what the world of Umora has meant to me. Working at a refugee agency in Indiana right now is, frankly, bad. Your story (while not exactly a stress free place), has been a port in the storm of news and doomscrolling and fear. I began listening to the Children’s Adventure in November, in a moment when human goodness or kindness felt a million miles away. The story you created was a slow, quiet, safe place to grieve. In a long series of bleak moments, it was also an escape into delight and the promise of something that felt like hope. In my work, I get to call families and tell them that after years or decades of waiting, their loved ones are finally escaping to safety. That there is a flight booked with a seat for them. Your stories were in my ears during the late-night holiday airport pick ups, calming my frazzled and overworked nervous system as we worked long hours to get people to safety before the doors closed. And then, after the 20th, after I broke the news to parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and dear friends of people who had their flights canceled overnight, your stories of resistance and kindness in the face of cruelty were waiting for me. I hope everyone on your team knows how precious their art is: from the four of you who act; to those of you on music, editing, and sound effects; to those of you who run numbers and logistics and social media and probably many other jobs that are necessary in creating something so beautiful. You are doing something miraculous in the world. Or, at least, your story has done something miraculous in me. It’s been holding a space for hope. And I’m so grateful. Malaina

2025-02-10 20:24:21 +0000 UTCThe music! This is TLDR, probably but: I got to visit Sweden last summer, to go to a bunch of locations from a computer game series I've been playing for like 20 years (MDNA's Carol Reed series), and walking around Sweden was wonderful. So, I was walking in my PNW neighborhood listening to "Peace and Quiet", and the vibe in the forest scene, and the music in that scene, fully sent me back to wandering around in Sweden. Amazing. Love the show, love the music, you guys are awesome.

2025-02-10 04:05:26 +0000 UTCMy question on this was if Erika really does make a Bene Geserit IT support character; will they be some sort of artificer? Or perhaps more appropriately, a cleric of a dark god? As it usually takes some form of blood sacrifice to fix IT issues?
Manzabar
2025-02-10 02:41:03 +0000 UTCI initially did, but noticed the episode notes were updated to mention working audio. I deleted the file I'd previously downloaded, pulled down a fresh copy, and then it worked.

2025-02-10 02:33:13 +0000 UTC“There is a certain place at which we have to presume that the rules for D&D are only the rules for brave and heroic adventures.” I am making a guidebook for my homebrew campaign to give to my players as a wrap gift and the last 10-15 pages deal with the contradictions in the world and this amazing cast just knocked it out of the park and summarized it in a 2 min conversation around this quote. You all are amazing inspirations, and it is an honor to get listen to you perform your craft. Thank you.

DaphneDawn
2025-02-08 02:34:01 +0000 UTCOh my goodness when Brennan said he knows what was waiting for them in the heart of the forest! Anyone else low-key think it was Sir Curran? That still hasn’t been revealed to the PCs yet and would have been sick as hell in every sense
DaphneDawn
2025-02-08 02:31:35 +0000 UTCThe right wing has done enough "Trigger warning: list of things that aren't triggering" jokes they weren't funny there and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth now.
Andrew Gribat
2025-02-07 23:30:15 +0000 UTCHey I know y'all didn't mean anything by it, but can you not use content warnings as a place to make jokes? It wouldn't be acceptable if it was labeled as a trigger warning, which is the term that content warning replaced. MBMBAM labels them as "talking points" which works just as well to set up the list of oblique, funny bit names without doing the bad thing.
Andrew Gribat
2025-02-07 23:27:49 +0000 UTCIt’s telling how rich this episode was that in the fireside we got barely if any mention of our (clearly played by JK Simmons) prison buff Merlin and new addition to “Brennan why you so good at making up wizards” the Wizard Slain. I need to hear more about the Wizard Slain
Kevin Turner
2025-02-07 23:25:00 +0000 UTCI really hope we get a soundtrack, I’m still stuck on the themes from WitchCon (Hakea’s/Woodland Green Waltz SLAPS-) and The Great Bear, Taylor is a GENIUS

2025-02-07 03:57:43 +0000 UTCAll the talk of parades in the fireside had me thinking of 'Built Then Burnt [Hurrah! Hurrah!]' by Thee Silver Mt. Zion - Let's have a parade. It's been so long since we had a parade, so let's have a parade! Let's invite all our friends. And all our friends' friends! Let's promenade down the boulevards with terrific pride and light in our eyes: twelve feet tall and staggering.. Sick with joy with the angels there and light in our eyes. https://youtu.be/bKQWYFHt560

Benjamin Lawlor
2025-02-07 00:57:40 +0000 UTCThe audio is a little messy. Better to clean it up a little and paraphrase in text: "Rather than giving you sadness, I hope that this gives you a clear white feeling of purpose." -Brennan Lee Mulligan But you could also take solace in some of these others: "Action is the antidote to despair." -Joan Baez "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." -Martin Luther King, Jr. "Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair." -Elie Wiesel "History has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own. -Michelle Obama "Despair and frustration will not shake our belief that the resistance is the only way of liberation." -Emile Lahoud "We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure." -Cesar Chavez "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing." -Raymond Williams

2025-02-06 22:02:56 +0000 UTCIs there any way you can clip the part where Brennan was talking about converting their rage into purpose? I want to share that far and wide.

JUST anxious
2025-02-06 17:08:35 +0000 UTCLiving for the Wizards reference!! I was 10 or 11 years old (I turned 11 that summer) when Wizards was released. My younger brother and I were visiting grandma (in a somewhat small town with a nearby multi-screen movie theater) and we convinced her to drop us off at the movie theater. It was a time when adults didn't necessarily go to the movies with their older children AND a time when an almost 11 year old was certainly expected to watch out for her younger brother (he was 9). We bought tickets to some kids movie, I don't remember which. Then, we snuck into Wizards. I have seen it a few times since and it is quite clear that seeing that movie at that age really shaped me. **A friend and I used a similar tactic a few months before (back home... not at grandma's) to see The Man Who Fell To Earth with David Bowie.

2025-02-05 20:24:24 +0000 UTCIt's funny because I know what spell I wish I could have at parties but know deep down that I would actually use teleport because I have a habit of there just being a switch that gets flicked and I just go straight to bed. It is especially bad when we are entertaining and I hit that because I just go straight to bed leaving my partner to deal with everyone. Worst part is I didn't realise I did it until it was brought to my attention a few years ago.

2025-02-05 20:22:20 +0000 UTCWith this comment I hope to pressure you in the kindest way possible, to release a soundtrack for the music made by taylor moore, because i really really really really really really really need it in my life and in my ttrpg games.

Benny Rodriguez
2025-02-05 15:20:07 +0000 UTCThis episode and fireside was yet another example of what I love best about The Wizard, The Witch, and the Wild One: the four of you are truly building a complex, living, breathing world together and then on top of that, through interludes and secret scenes in episodes, we the audience are invited to immerse ourselves fully in that world by knowing things that the main characters (or even the actors playing them!) don't know. This truly feels like a masterclass in storytelling and every main and fireside episode has been a joy to listen to and even more fun to analyze. ❤️ Also, the best party spell is Heroes' Feast: curing all poison has to mean an instant sobering up and then you can fall asleep happy and full when the party is over. 🥰

2025-02-05 12:00:31 +0000 UTCOkay, so my partner picked up a copy of Wizards 1977 about six months ago and I have watched it like four times since he got it. I'm obsessed with this absolute mindfuck of a movie. Details that Brennan forgot because why the fuck would he remember this movie is a fever dream: 1. They DO actually talk about how Blackwolf (bad wizard) and Avatar (gnome wizard) are brothers in the exposition at the very beginning. Nothing about this exposition matters at all until the last 5 minutes of the movie. 2. This is Mark Hamill's first film. He did a voice for it during the filming of the first Star Wars movie. 3. Originally, the film was supposed to be called War Wizards, but George Lucas asked them the change the name for obvious reasons. 4. The wiggly 70s funk music they use in the war scenes and throughout is amazing and completely does not fit the vibe. There's so much more to be said about this fucking film, and I completely disagree with Brennan, ya gotta watch it once. The art throughout is really well done and it is just such a fun watch. Invite some friends over, get some pizza, and just enjoy the art that is Wizards 1977.

2025-02-05 07:15:23 +0000 UTCBene Geserit IT got me good. On a headset in a call center in a giant black habit. Caller's like, "No, I have my hand in the box now; it's not doing anything." "Did you do the Litany? If you didn't do the Litany, you need to unplug the box, do the Litany, then plug it back in."

2025-02-05 05:39:04 +0000 UTCGod damn y’all this Wizards tangent does NOT disappoint. I haven’t seen this movie since I was (too young) and it’s amazing to me how much I remember just by the fucked up hits they discuss. Whew.

2025-02-05 02:53:36 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. It also made me want to check out the rest of the works of Ralph Bakshi. "Oh, he did a Tolkien movie, cool. Oh, he did a cartoon called Fritz the Cat? Oh my I'm way too you g to see this!" And later on at a more appropriate age I saw Coonskin and got my ass radicalized LOL

So, picturing him as a tall slender man with slightly feminine features is how I picture princes. I guess I have a prince type)

Luke
2025-02-04 13:30:14 +0000 UTCIt's a little thing, but my favorite sound design moment after the prince's introduction is the music when Eursulon is in Bracken, enjoying the play of arcane confetti in the sunlight just before being accosted by Zero. I can *see* Eursulon in slow motion, finally feeling joy seep back in, contentment starting to spread across his features, sun dappling his face and glinting off tiny speckles of confetti, as the tension of the score builds like an undercurrent beneath placid water.
bluebluebutton
2025-02-04 13:27:20 +0000 UTCI loved the entirety of the latest episode, but the thing that really got me was the lack of the outro music following the Silencing of the Great Bullfrog. Beautiful touch from Taylor.
