Mr. Taylor Moore, sir, we need to have words… Starting Suvi’s eulogy for her fallen companions off with the same notes for taps was absolutely filthy work. Caught me completely off guard. I went from happily enjoying my favorite podcast to sobbing in .02 seconds. In all seriousness, I love your work. Never change, you beautiful human. Thanks for making it hurt so good

2024-11-14 22:28:18 +0000 UTCThe existence of the door knocker proves my point actually. The magic is there, the only hurdles are scalability and limitation that magic effects tend to have. The Citadel is an organization whose purpose is to solve these problems.

2024-11-14 17:42:25 +0000 UTCA door knocker that only let's her teleport to one place, the empire may have many hands but they are not infinite

2024-11-14 17:10:01 +0000 UTCI’m just so stoked for all you killing it! Love the in-depth storytelling you all bring to life! I love how yall growing and growing see you on different platforms. Drink Life! Congratulations to all on WBN. Happy to support what y’all be doing.

2024-11-13 00:24:39 +0000 UTCI was ready for their paths to diverge a little bit, they all need breathing room and processing time after the adventures of Indry’s winter wonderland. But I am excited for Eursalon and Ame to get some visual intel / data on what the Citadel is up to. Side note: Still thinking about Ghost and what her fate was.

2024-11-04 17:21:20 +0000 UTCMaybe this is my own misunderstanding, maybe I'm just being That Guy, but in really stuck on the whole key stone barrier thing. Suvi went through all the trouble of breaking the passkey into six pieces for herself and her retaining companions, and then Ame, Eursulon, and the Fox roll up on a ROC. I was like "oh shit oh shit, this whole mountain is going to descend on them, if not for the bird then for crossing the barrier without a passkey. But it didn't come up? Maybe it will next episode? It felt like such a pivotal misstep tactically but they had time to talk to Old Wallowroot and get the horses up to the safer passage. Granted, a whole ass sorcerer showed up, but seemingly just to deal with the roc. Did I miss something or am I jumping the gun on story beats?

Andrea Rico
2024-10-29 05:12:06 +0000 UTCMagic kinda solves all problems especially in a nation that uses magic as the backbone of its development. Like if you're using magic to make ready made weapons, magic rings to be better at lifting boxes, you better be using magic to increase the yeilds of your crops. And the gates would definitely be under heavy security. Also the rations could go in a pouch of infinite holding and the point of rations is to sit around until needed. I've had rations that were 2 years old and rations that were a month old, tasted the same.
Agiddysea
2024-10-28 23:19:19 +0000 UTCI don't think Sully was necessarily a goner, but I think it was a reasonable call given what Aabria said: "I know what I would expect someone to do if it were me." I don't think that was a moment of self-interest, that was a moment of Suvi following the soldier's code she's been trained to follow.
Adarsh Nednur
2024-10-28 23:15:27 +0000 UTCI love so much the way Brennan's voice takes on the tone and personality of a character's perspective when he's gesturing towards their internal monologue, and it's always especially apparent with Suvi and the wizards.
Adarsh Nednur
2024-10-28 23:11:30 +0000 UTCEven if you can teleport your supplies, you have to actually have the supplies first. My guess would be that the agriculture and manufacturing and such are the hard parts of supplying the troops. Plus I can imagine opening a teleportation portal directly to where all of the enemies are could pose some security concerns lol it is a good point though. As for the bag of infinite holding, I think it's probably useful to let people carry a lot without physical encumberance, but it seems like an inefficient use of resources to let a month's worth of rations sit and wait in some guy's pack if he's in a position to just get more when he runs out, ya know? Also lol this is a much sillier point but thinking back to Tefmet struggling to get their stuff into their bag of holding, I'm now just imagining a soldier sitting in a room with a month's worth of food and a normal-sized bag and having to just shovel in one handful at a time until it's all in there.
Adarsh Nednur
2024-10-28 23:04:53 +0000 UTC"Can you give me a name cloak for this wizard?" "Sully" "K, you watch as Sully gets their jaw ripped off" One of the top 5 most brutal exchanges I've ever heard lmao
Adarsh Nednur
2024-10-28 22:52:41 +0000 UTCHe's hot I will admit
Joker
2024-10-28 18:28:29 +0000 UTCYeah it would be crazy to see all the wizards just turn on Ame and see what Suvi does in response
Joker
2024-10-28 18:27:54 +0000 UTCThe Wizard Sworn is making me feel big *gonna F this old man* vibes, just purely based on competence alone.

2024-10-28 16:00:45 +0000 UTCOh I thought you were saying Silver was a "boy of all genders" and I did not remember that piece of lore 😂

2024-10-27 21:42:33 +0000 UTCMan I'm not ready for this to end yet I'm already waiting for the moment it comes back after this next huge break while they do the space game (Which is gonna be awesome but still)

2024-10-27 17:25:35 +0000 UTCHey I think If you want your questin answered it would be best if you submit it on the FAQ link. I think they might read the comments but only answer questions submitted this way. Just trying to help and I'm also interested in the answer to your question
Dandeleila
2024-10-27 14:00:26 +0000 UTCSuvi risking everything (even other people who can't say no to her commands) for someone she loves and who just told her he loves her makes so much sense. The loss of her parents and her grief plays so well into her inability to leave any chance of him being savable--last time she could only sit around and be hidden, now she has agency and power to fight like hell to get to him. I am so in love with this story ❤️
Melina
2024-10-27 10:35:20 +0000 UTCAlso they have clairvoyance which, even if not 100% accurate, would be the backbone of their intelligence gathering capabilities. The Empire is mishandling their most valuable asset (the Citadel), truly ineffective.
Agiddysea
2024-10-26 16:36:12 +0000 UTCI think it's normal tbh. Army Rangers hate Green Berets, Navy Seals hate Marine Raiders. Animosity across branches is super common in the military. I assume imperial soldiers have their own names for Citadel Wizards
Agiddysea
2024-10-26 06:42:11 +0000 UTCI swear, if they hurt a feather on Firebringer's gigantic head, I will leap through this screen and lay that sorcerer *out*!

2024-10-25 22:58:39 +0000 UTCI do have to keep reminding myself Suvi is 20 and making bad descions about boys makes alot for sense.

2024-10-25 22:55:55 +0000 UTCrocs have 248hp and thats way over the damage any non insane spell could do, gotta be banishment
Nathaniel Levy
2024-10-25 05:11:53 +0000 UTCI saw it as Sworn specifically naming Rasper an Imperial toady. However the reaction of the rest of the Azure battalion soldiers shows that this is likely a commonly leveled insult from the Citadel personnel
Dominic Corbin
2024-10-25 02:16:50 +0000 UTCSpirits with more names are also considered more powerful. According to wizards. I interpreted the in-game reason it asked for a name as two-fold, one to gain another name and thus more power, and also to prevent giving a name to be commanded by. Out of game, obviously the more they care for Fifi the more they feel the loss.
Dominic Corbin
2024-10-25 01:59:37 +0000 UTCI’m thinking the door knocker is going to come in to play with this whole scene
The Wizard Sparrow
2024-10-25 01:30:25 +0000 UTCI keep imagining the anger levels of Steele when she finds out what Rasper did. Plus she has Suvi’s memory of the plan (which I know she will refuse to get back). So many unanswered stories.
The Wizard Sparrow
2024-10-25 01:28:57 +0000 UTCIt ebbs and flows when the story requires. Ame literally has teleportation with the door knocker. Also those gates are the single greatest asset of the Empire next to the speaking mirrors. Redundancies should have been built in lol
Agiddysea
2024-10-24 23:48:15 +0000 UTCWell teleportation ebbs and flows in Umora, such as back during the conflict that killed Suvi's parents that had been a time where teleportation was easier
Divanté Malachi
2024-10-24 22:58:15 +0000 UTCI know this is a story of, in part, war and its consequences, and Brennan is serving that story at every turn, but this brutality is killing me, haha. It's funny, my first instinct is anger. "BRENNAN WTF NO." But after sitting with it, contextualizing it, all I'm left with is respect! Love the show, keep it up!

Makenzie
2024-10-24 16:40:22 +0000 UTCOh yes, but also, I love how Eursulon is immediately like "oh, this is about Silver? Yes, I'll help!" It's a fun reminder that Eursulon considers Silver a friend. They spent time together back in the citadel, and although he isn't his True Friend, they are friends nonetheless. And ofcourse, he does it for Suvi too

2024-10-24 06:36:35 +0000 UTCSuvi risking everyone and everything to save a boy (of all genders!!!) who might be dead already is making me lose my mind. Girl please relax!! Eursolon is going to kill you if you don’t get your lady parts under control.

2024-10-24 04:09:03 +0000 UTCMight send him to the spirit realm but not any region he calls home and not one he can easily egress out of to get where he wants to go. Also, part of being wayshadowed seems to be the way in which his spirit is bound, which is to say that being banished right now, his home realm might not technically be the spirit realm at all.

2024-10-24 03:03:27 +0000 UTCafter every episode my only thought is: they should be at the club 😔
kragonaught
2024-10-24 01:28:12 +0000 UTCI remember it was when Ame wanted to leave the Citadel, and the war started in earnest. but that seemed like a security measure and not sabbatoge.
Agiddysea
2024-10-24 00:51:26 +0000 UTCdid they mention that their teleportation circle system has been disrupted/sabotaged? or am imagining that

Franco Muscellini
2024-10-23 23:35:20 +0000 UTCThat's true. Fingers crossed they get it before something else gets completely screwed.
Bean Planter
2024-10-23 22:18:33 +0000 UTCWell Rasper’s taken the spider…they’ll know soon enough 👀
Jordan Charles
2024-10-23 22:12:14 +0000 UTCI feel like if there were more mechanics, then people would be in the comments arguing about use of the mechanics, crunching numbers, and lecturing the cast (at least if other actual play communities are anything to go by). I respect that this is a story first, with some actual play mechanics
Kitty Stryker
2024-10-23 21:05:17 +0000 UTCI’m glad that these are a reasonable amount for me to listen to in one sitting, unlike other creators! I can actually stay up-to-date with this show 😂
Kitty Stryker
2024-10-23 21:01:29 +0000 UTCIt's driving me INSANE that Suvi hasn't told anyone about Indri's sky-spy ability. It's such an important compromise to security.
Bean Planter
2024-10-23 18:58:18 +0000 UTCHere's a thought, would Banish send Ursalon home permanently, or temporarily?
Kamuraki
2024-10-23 18:04:56 +0000 UTCThat was my thinking as well
Kamuraki
2024-10-23 18:01:17 +0000 UTCWhat kind of soft/economic influence does the empire have with the other 2 factions? Surely the Empire must have access to magic that they can offer that would give them political/economic influence? Also wouldn't teleportation magic eliminate most supply line issues during war, it would also allow for rapid deployment of troops to hotspots pretty quickly. Somthing that would deter most enemies. Also what about a bag of infinite holding? Every soldier could carry a small pack that holds months worth of rations?
Agiddysea
2024-10-23 17:15:50 +0000 UTCI really hope you're correct

2024-10-23 16:38:21 +0000 UTCI gotta disagree I realize they're quite a way from the tower but they did a whole bit on how they have magical reconstructive healing and how people keep vanity scars. He was seared for sure but I don't think he was fully cooked.
Skeletal Cleric
2024-10-23 16:05:35 +0000 UTCWhen eursulon felt disappointed truly for one of the first times ever i felt it in my soul Also i don’t think we’re gonna check on FIFI (which makes me sad😭) which will add on to suvi not caring about spirits and ame won’t want to leave suvi even after she made that promise. So fingers crossed eursulon flips shit and goes off on them soon hopefully no more them 3-4 episodes
Nicholas Savage AKA Eursulon’s knight in training
2024-10-23 15:24:58 +0000 UTCThat's immediately what I thought too. And regardless of intentions, this buildup of Eursilon sacrificing to be available to his friends can't last. If he missed his chance in this, I don't think he will ever be able to truly forgive himself.

oToastTv
2024-10-23 10:52:24 +0000 UTCI think after seeing Ame’s thoughtlessness (the lie at the Conclave and the promise to Fifi) and Suvi’s belief that spirits in Umora ‘get what they get’, Eursulon has more than earned the right to tell them about themselves.
Udoka

TheloniousPunkyBrewster
2024-10-23 09:44:42 +0000 UTCI saw it less about the Empire being made up of non-wizards and more to do with the fact that the Empire interferes with the workings and aims of the Citadel to get the wizards to do stuff that the Empire wants. Like, the Empire has pushed for the Citadel to be a military arm of the Empire--not necessarily that the Citadel wanted that from the jump. So maybe wizards feel some type of way about that.

Reid Bathgate
2024-10-23 04:51:04 +0000 UTCLast episode showed that Sworn is really not a good person. They may be nice to Suvi but they clearly referred to Rasper (who is also not good himself) as an “Imperial rat” in front of the azure battalion, who are soldiers of the Empire the Citadel SERVES. It’s clear (to me!) that he values non-wizards as lesser beings.

2024-10-23 02:50:11 +0000 UTCWe’ve seen Brennan give ally an item that lets her hold 2 concentration spells. Wouldn’t put it pass him to give that kinda power to a high level sorcerer
Jerrome Lovelock
2024-10-23 02:28:13 +0000 UTCWell, if that was indeed banishment then Fifi returned to the spirit realm, which might count as them fulfilling their promise indirectly.

2024-10-23 02:28:11 +0000 UTCBanishment is what makes the most sense.

2024-10-23 02:10:24 +0000 UTCWell luckily, I didn't say "man I really wish they produced poor-quality slop content for me to listen to all day". I'm glad that they take time to pursue other endeavors, I'm glad they prioritize their mental health, I'm glad they put so much care into creating each episode with careful scoring and editing... I'm still allowed to be sad that the content they do produce is shorter than other creators.
Joey Sawyers
2024-10-23 01:54:21 +0000 UTCYeah literally the moment I clocked Sworn as being extremely useful, I said "this dude is gone die"
Tijay Arnie
2024-10-23 01:33:55 +0000 UTCSuvi doesn't even know if homeboy is ALIVE. 2 people and potentially a great spirit are dead. Would Mr boyfriend risk his and other's lives to go save HER if she was captive in the North Pole ?! Suvi needs an intervention, some Wellbutrin, and a vibrator. Go sit in your tower and read a book.

2024-10-23 01:00:17 +0000 UTC“I’ll break anything I made!” Yeah I think he was all too happy to enact some serious CONSEQUENCES

✨ Marlee ✨
2024-10-22 23:46:17 +0000 UTCGotta agree with Bingus here—it would have been different had Sully only been minorly iniured. Jaw ripped off, 1 hp…I think going for all of the weird apes made sense. Definitely still sucks, but I don’t blame Suvi for making that call. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
✨ Marlee ✨
2024-10-22 23:44:05 +0000 UTCYeah, I just thought they were all going to be ~2h. Getting 2 (main story) episodes a month, some of which are this short, just feels sad. I'm not unsubbing or going to complain about all the time, just feels bad compared to other DnD shows I watch.

2024-10-22 23:41:42 +0000 UTCThe last episode was 1 hour and 47 minutes.

2024-10-22 22:16:06 +0000 UTC“This bird has not flapped it’s wings in an hour” followed by the most heart swelling, whimsical adventure music 🥰 Meanwhile, in a very different movie, we got a battle so worthy of following up “the clearing” in its RP stakes and mechanics 🤌🏾

Lilac_Capital3
2024-10-22 21:08:35 +0000 UTCSure, if I didn’t know the rules I’d probably find such numbers confusing, as is, the lack of them is just confusing. But I can understand that position which is why I was saying maybe an uncut version for patrons? I dunno I just want more of this story!
Boston
2024-10-22 21:04:12 +0000 UTCright? i would guess it’s just banishment
Kaitlyn Julia
2024-10-22 20:33:50 +0000 UTCSome might say that the mechanics are in the service of the story. I can see how stating the damage threshold, the damage rolled plus whatever modifiers could get in the way of the emotional weight of the episode. It reminds me of the quote "actual play is to d&d, as porn is to actual sex."

Michael Carter
2024-10-22 20:19:04 +0000 UTCPoor Sully died so Suvi could get laid. Aabria has pushed my buttons with this character since episode one.

OminousOwl
2024-10-22 20:14:41 +0000 UTCI saw Aabria during her run at Twenty-Sided Tavern and she made this comment during stagedooring that her dice hate her unless Suvi's being a cop, which I think continues to be truer than EVER right now (in the best and most interesting way possible).
Nathan Asher
2024-10-22 20:04:44 +0000 UTCI THINK that Fifi was just sent back to the spirit realm. That's my hope. I think if that's the case and Ursalon finds out, he's gonna have a HARD time not joining up with Gaothmai, especially since that's where so much of his family lives.

OminousOwl
2024-10-22 19:44:05 +0000 UTCEveryone has their own play style! Remember that these people have been playing for years and have centered their professional careers around APs. You can learn a lot from this series but as long as you’re having fun and not judging yourself too hard in TTRPGS you’re good 😊.
Sammi Jacobs
2024-10-22 19:34:22 +0000 UTCI also like the detail that Suvi is still apprehensive to trust Ame and Ursalon even after they immediately answered her call. Aabria is playing this character so well (in a sad way)!
Sammi Jacobs
2024-10-22 19:30:03 +0000 UTCDAMN THEY MY GIRL FIFI!!!!!! NOOOOO
Sammi Jacobs
2024-10-22 19:24:26 +0000 UTCThat fight had me on the edge of my seat!!!! I feel like most of the physical fights in this arc are gonna feel like true struggles for survival (like oh this can end badly) and I’ll be holding my breath each time 😭😭😭!
Sammi Jacobs
2024-10-22 19:24:03 +0000 UTCLou thinking to find and talk to the oldest tree and the WAY he asks for the protection reminds me just how bad I am at dnd

2024-10-22 19:01:44 +0000 UTCim so sorry i put it there in the last ep the moment brennan described his view of Suvi's youth please protect him :((

2024-10-22 18:52:50 +0000 UTCThese short episodes are making me really sad lol 🥹
Joey Sawyers
2024-10-22 18:43:38 +0000 UTCThe biggest offender of this though is back in Arc 1 when they were freeing Naram and Eursalon had to do a certain amount of damage but could only reach it with smite, which he unlocked. The mechanical challenge was cut from the episode for little gain.
Boston
2024-10-22 18:36:05 +0000 UTCThis episode had a few that I found disorienting, the creature that attacks Suvi through her shield at the start doesn’t get a damage roll stated, and the nat 20 inflict wounds right after hit two targets, which I would imagine was an extra boon because of the nat 20 but it isn’t discussed in the episode.
Boston
2024-10-22 18:34:25 +0000 UTCThat assumes there were rolls being made to be ruled on and then excluded
Agiddysea
2024-10-22 18:31:09 +0000 UTCThat what I thought too!!!
Annie A
2024-10-22 18:29:03 +0000 UTCI feel like Brennan is going to make the pcs pay for their broken promises before the end of this arc and I’m already scared🫣 What an ending!!

Katie Roberts
2024-10-22 17:53:28 +0000 UTCNo, again the preference would be just including the rulings and numbers in the public feed. Otherwise I’m just a dog at the table happy for any scraps, they could just be plain audio playbacks
Boston
2024-10-22 17:49:50 +0000 UTCI GASPED SO LOUD AT THE END and wasn't watching the time so was fully unprepared for it to stop there. you beautiful brilliant evil masterminds.

2024-10-22 17:01:25 +0000 UTCSo was that a banishment spell at the end there? I don’t think Fifi was killed but does anyone else know any other forced teleportation spells?
Jerrome Lovelock
2024-10-22 17:00:49 +0000 UTCSo Patreon versions of episodes that don't cut anything out but still have music and effects? Doesn't sound like a good use of time tbh
Agiddysea
2024-10-22 16:47:14 +0000 UTCI found myself very frustrated listening to this episode with so much of the rulings and numbers being cut out. We love dnd!! We want to hear what’s going on! If not for the public her maybe for the patrons at least?

Matthew Benedict
2024-10-22 16:04:29 +0000 UTCBrennan.. I will not forgive long term damage to Sworn. Sure. Knock him out, make us fear for his life and wellbeing but don't you hurt my most goodest boi ok? Suvi needs someone she can lean on goshdarnit and there ain't noone else . Brennan please..
