WWW Interlude #1: Twelve Brooks
Added 2024-04-02 09:01:01 +0000 UTC
or....Good Will Humping (Aabria made me type that.)
Behold! Our first "Interlude," an in-world canon one-shot where the cast gathers to create, expand, and play hitherto unseen people and places within the world of Umora. It is a profound pleasure to welcome you to the modest, but beloved, amphibious hamlet of Twelve Brooks, on the very cusp of its (regionally) famous midsummer revel. You are not going to BELIEVE who they named Great Bullfrog this year.
Starring Lou Wilson, Aabria Iyengar, Erika Ishii, and Brennan Lee Mulligan
Produced by Taylor Moore
Edited and Designed by Jared Olson
And featuring an original score and live saxophone performance from our first guest composer (!) Joseph David Spence

2025-04-20 14:37:36 +0000 UTCsame. my money was on someone eating the fabled Twelve Brooks cheese in a scene, and me just being like "oh wow I get that reference!" but no. this is why we can't have nice things

2025-04-19 00:51:50 +0000 UTCListening to this again before the Battle begins and goddamn Buckles better make an appearance in the main campaign. Would love to see him and Nif meet one day.

2025-03-22 21:55:11 +0000 UTCI had to listen to 12 Rivers one more time so I can understand or remember what is gonna happen in the next couple of episodes. I wonder if Ame is going to find the scroll and help bring the great bullfrog back to its full size

2025-03-22 21:54:42 +0000 UTCWhy were Buckles parents taken? Missed that

Elisabeth Gallegos
2025-03-12 00:29:30 +0000 UTCMany months ago when this interlude first came out I remember feeling like “Oh, it’d be so much fun if some of this came back in the main campaign!” In blissful ignorance of things to come. How dare you build us up before tearing us down again.
Maddie Moreland
2025-02-23 23:39:06 +0000 UTCWait… is Jay the great bull frog???
The Wizard Sparrow
2025-02-21 21:37:54 +0000 UTCMy thoughts exactly
The Wizard Sparrow
2025-02-21 19:16:15 +0000 UTCWill Ame find the scrolls in the castle about the G-B-F…what happened to the shimmering magical jug pieces? I need more of this story!!!
The Wizard Sparrow
2025-02-21 19:15:57 +0000 UTCi swear Jay's jug tune is the Qu's Marsh theme from ffix!! great work either way, Taylor!! also.. relistening to this after catching up on the main campaign.. my HEART

Lauren
2025-01-30 17:53:29 +0000 UTCListening to this after Aid and comfort, the way Brennan asks the players to start by describing how very endearing the town and the people are feels very intentional in the worst possible way 💀
Asra Kabdi
2025-01-28 13:05:42 +0000 UTCEveryone in the comments when this came out sort of passed over the “Empire taking families from their homes, including children.” bit because Buckles is such a gosh darn cute how could his situation be emblematic of something broader darker and more sinister.

Kayzar
2024-08-22 14:36:13 +0000 UTCsome honest criticism that ive been putting off making because the response to this episode was so positive: the music in this episode made it so difficult to listen to what was being said. the main campaign episodes do a better job because there are known motifs that can be sprinkled in when appropriate. the first fifteen minutes of this episode that went to the public feed were unlistenable as someone with auditory processing issues because so much was crammed in (yes i know there are transcripts but i usually dont need them and would prefer to continue using them sparingly). i hope that whoever reads this takes what i have said in good faith. peace love and witches x

RuidusBornRaven
2024-07-31 13:16:44 +0000 UTCOh this was just delightful! 😍 I adore every single one of these characters, especially Buckles, but Professor Salmon was a particular delight. Lou's descriptions of him were so great I could invision him perfectly! I would love another trip to 12 Brooks, but until then, I'm gonna listen to this again 💙

2024-07-26 06:24:49 +0000 UTCI need so much more of this!!! It just fills my heart with joy.

Nick Grant
2024-05-18 22:20:50 +0000 UTCI love the way Brennan absolutely did not pronounce the French word for frog correctly. Was that on purpose to hide that Buckles is from a frog people? It must be, he speaks Spanish well so that using French pronunciation would be easy. I do love the tie in, the hint.

2024-04-26 17:25:06 +0000 UTCIt’s so nice to have a story set in Umora that is just wholesome and pure with no real struggle ❤️ fed my lil heart
Sonya
2024-04-24 19:13:59 +0000 UTCthe only complaint i’ve had so far about worlds beyond number is that I haven’t gotten to see more of erika being a gold hearted fuckboi

2024-04-23 15:17:47 +0000 UTCSuch a treat. The opening made me misty for how pure everything was.

2024-04-20 06:55:58 +0000 UTCAn utterly captivating and charming tale - it reminded me of 1980s fantasy films in the best ways. What a talented group of storytellers!!!

2024-04-18 07:28:07 +0000 UTCI love this episode it describes the one place i always dreamed to be in it was scary how close it was to what i envision in my head, most days, with an amphitheater added on it only makes it more amazing. I WANT MORE OF THESE LOVEABLE SWEETHARTS!!!
Mark Denn
2024-04-17 15:13:59 +0000 UTCLet's riot!! And I've only heard half so far, so I don't know if this maybe happens, but I don't think it will happen: These characters somehow meeting with Suvi/Sky, Ame and Eursulon!!!
Beomene
2024-04-17 09:04:25 +0000 UTCthe most perfect snippet of story. what a masterful job of creating such a colorful mind world

2024-04-13 17:48:45 +0000 UTC"cambions" are also a classical name for certain demons, which kinda... says something about how the Empire feels about shapeshifters

Ethan Scott Baird
2024-04-08 16:58:00 +0000 UTCOne shot?! Nuh uh, get back here and tell us how these wonderful people help this sweet little frog boy!
Christian Kavanagh
2024-04-08 10:39:13 +0000 UTCagreed. I wanted everything to pause for awhile longer in hopes that we get much more time in Twelve Brooks. I was immediately smitten.
Thomas Johnson
2024-04-08 03:24:44 +0000 UTCThe world is just so beautiful and full of life, I’m so happy to be apart of this community who gets to experience it
Grace Coleman
2024-04-07 21:20:50 +0000 UTC...I can't help but have a creeping dread that the joy and delight of this interlude will end up being proportionate to the terror and heartbreak of the next season. Brennan is trying to lull us so he can hit us harder. (Buckles for president tho)
Hex Sharpe
2024-04-07 07:02:47 +0000 UTCthe amount of heart in these stories is astounding. I can’t wait to hear more interludes and hope we can meet these characters again :)

2024-04-07 00:36:00 +0000 UTCTruly magical! Some of the most vivid and well put descriptions of a fantasy town I’ve ever heard!

2024-04-06 22:37:51 +0000 UTCOnly 10 min in and I'm crying because of the beauty of the world building mixed with Taylor's soundscapes. Byeeee I'm a mess, can't wait for the rest of the hour and 20 min
Melissa Whitehurst
2024-04-06 20:56:27 +0000 UTCI really hope this is an interlude in the way that the Stormlight Archive uses the word, and that we’ll end up seeing these folks again in the main campaign eventually.

Kyle David Perry
2024-04-05 22:06:42 +0000 UTCUp until now, the first episode of the main campaign has remained my favourite moment of WBN. That might have just changed. On a separate note, for a layman it’s almost unbelievable how people can improvise like that; how PCs weaved their story into elements of the world just introduced by others. Beautiful!

2024-04-05 14:34:05 +0000 UTCHey this joseph dude slaps!! Good job joseph! Also ♡♡ love this!!

2024-04-04 21:56:09 +0000 UTCI'm just now realizing that a part 2 isn't listed on the upcoming release schedule.

If not, I'll have no choice but to keep listening to this on repeat the way I have been since this dropped

2024-04-04 05:33:37 +0000 UTCI both hope they’ll return to these characters and hope they never do at the same time. Like this story is done. We know what will probably happen here, If they never touched this again we’d have heard a magical story with an uncertain ending. But also I really want more of these characters finding so much around them. I want to know what the great bullfrog will do!

Ursa
2024-04-04 02:15:34 +0000 UTCHearing y’all world-build in real time is wonderful and puts your various talents on full display. I could almost hear y’all thinking, “If this is true, then what else is there?” Adding in the details about the town being shrouded in mist and moss and verdant greenery. Dropping in a castle and history of this place as a defensive fortification based on terrain features. Dropping in an amphitheater and a history of music, placing it right on the lake, and establishing a history of people making music. Aabria connecting the available water to industry with weaving, dyeing, and milling. Everything built upon each other element so beautifully. It made me imagine being at the table, building a world with you.

2024-04-03 18:53:43 +0000 UTCI’m just gonna say, if they do another part of this one shot, I will be more than pleased. I believe that these three – – no. Four. Misfits. Deserve to get into some ruckus, two spirits, a bard and a scholar feel like the perfect set up for a smaller mini campaign and I would eat that shit up like chow fucking mein

Lojaan
2024-04-03 10:16:26 +0000 UTCThe fact they named the great bullfrog Jay and not Jeremiah is a travesty. Because then it could have been cannon for the YEARS that the world of Umora is being discovered that “JEREMIAHA WAS A BULLFROG! WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE! NEVER UNDERSTOOD A SINGLE WORD HE SAID BUT WE HAD A MIGHTY GOOD TIME”
Bryan
2024-04-03 09:48:35 +0000 UTCThe thing I like about everyone in wbn is the love and enjoyment they have with making and playing with stories. The music, the sound design, it all just makes me feel. I love that. It's something special.

2024-04-03 05:34:23 +0000 UTCThis was so absolutely lovely, I wonder if we’ll ever get the chance to see any of this little slice of the world in the main campaign, with such a long form story anything is possible!

ValiaLing
2024-04-03 05:31:01 +0000 UTCahhhh, so much fun! if you ever revisit this, i would totally hop onboard. (is the great bullfrog there because they think jay is hot too? or there to have a musical battle of the jugs with jay? who knows XD)

Emily C
2024-04-02 22:32:01 +0000 UTCI disagree. First of all we don't know what's been cut from the audio. But we know that things get cut from the audio. So there could be more to that bit that isn't in this final cut. Also, Erika makes it really clear. That's Jae is in to the advances in just the cut that we do hear. The consents there.
Jackaloop
2024-04-02 22:21:21 +0000 UTCDid not know how badly I needed Erika to play a himbo
Jackaloop
2024-04-02 22:15:17 +0000 UTCSo…I know this won’t be liked and easily dismissed by some (because Jae is a f*ckboy) but the costume designer’s…advances…. Had Erika been playing a female character people would have lost their shit.
Kevin Goodwin
2024-04-02 22:12:57 +0000 UTCI love this! It was such a cute way to add more world building to Umora. Joseph David Spence, you did not need to go that hard on the score.

Joan Cornudella
2024-04-02 11:11:08 +0000 UTCI loved this so much! Jay is as they say young, dumb, and full of cum and I love him for that. Leah is so intriguing! Satyr-spider? What? Salmon has some hidden something, I just know it! I'm now so torn because I need to know what happens with Ame and her coven but I also need to know what is up with Buckles! So good, you guys!
