****SMALL CAMPAIGN 2 SPOILERS****** “I’m trying to play a fighter with a lot of honor”- Jake Hurwitz when talking about his next character

Justine

Hardwon actually got a nat 20 back in episode 82 (~23 minutes in), for a constitution save against Deeprag's flail. It's totally understandable that they missed it at the time, given how much was going on in that episode, but it's fun to think about what would have changed if the curse had taken effect then. I think what actually happened was more narratively satisfying, so it's kind of a happy accident. (Would be a lot less happy if Bev died though!)

Justine

I didn't realize until this episode that Shae (Shay?) was a human and not an elf!

Am I the only one who imagines Moonshine's Heroes Feast being just a Super Mario Mushroom?

Wandering Giant

man, what a PERFECT time for the curse to come back, and from 1 to 20 to 1.... flawless.

Silver

I had a look at the Tarasque online, I pictured it as a triceratops...its more like a spiky T rex haha

Magna Ma'am

My son just declared, "gotta use the toilet; +5 to intelligence check." 😆

Just binged this whole series hard. Wanted to do a shout out how grateful I am for this podcast. You guys have taught me so much from your goofs and doofs. Thank you so much. $5 a month is the least I can do for the amount of hours you guys have sinked into this. Another shout out thank you to Drawga to introducing me to Dnd in general. Hope Caudwell can do something to keep it going. It's very entertaining. But questions, do you guys have a favorite dice company? Jake, do you think you will play other dnd campaigns now that you have experienced a game greater than chess?

Also from New Zealand and would love to come to a live show if you came down here :)

It got ripped in half back in Mavris' class, remember?

What ever happened to the book that Bev got from his dad that was basically a touch hands???

Bev is actually the worst person to have down because his aura wouldn't take effect

Jamie Advincula

putting save Bev energy into the world like: *aggressively pickles dice* *does a bullywog mating call* *casts counterspell* *prays to Melora and Pelor* *takes a hit of Alanis's magic kush* *chugs a Bud Heavy* *shouts out to the 2 crew*

So if you worship Dice Christ, does that make you a Crit-tian?

Jenny T

Force ghost Bev should be a thing.

Trying to decide if he is saying Dunedin.

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

He's a green teen again, but the green comes from decomp now, not chlorophyll.

Bea Munro

Posting this again for @caldy, just in case something goes terribly wrong: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/r1F3LQJsQ It's a class called "The Fool" i've made and extensively playtested, which is all about being someone who is pretty bad at one ability score, but incredibly lucky,! As a class feature, you get a similar ability to the halfling's lucky trait.

Let Bev come back as the undead😆 He can be " Beverly Toegold V: The Knight of Rot😎"

Kevin Schleicher

Hey @emily, unrelated to this episode but I'm re-listening to old short rests and got to the parts where you're talking about the song one jump ahead from Aladdin and I wanted to you let you know they took out the line "just a little snack guys" from the song in the live-action remake

Kestrel

Deadeye’s been dead WAY longer than ten days

Daniel King

In regards to y'all sometimes not keeping it as light or not having a joke ready whenever your turn comes up, I actually like that. In those rare moments when the funny stuff stops it acts as an emotional cue for me that you are taking the moment so seriously that I should as well. I get really invested in those moments.

The sign out of rolling with the death saves makes me maximum anxious moving forward.

It would take some serious homebrewing, but, i wonder if moonshine meemaw and a few wizards/necromancers could cast reincarnation on handy andy to bring back deadeye in some fashion.

Ahh that would make sense, thanks!

Todd

I am pretty sure they are level 14. I think the guests are as well, because draconic sorcerers (like Mavris) get their wings ability at lv 14

Best episode yet! Does anyone know what level the party is at this point? Both the Boobs and the guests?

Todd

If Jake wants to play an "Honorable" fighter, he should look into the Samurai sub-class. I feel like there are lots of fun roleplaying possibilities with that.

tacticalgrandma

Ever since Jake talked about liking healing Bev & Moonshine during the Theala fight I've been wondering- would you ever want to play a healing class? Paladin is a solid mix of fighting and healies, and there are some really cool and fun cleric subclasses.

Kestrel

Emily played a monk on the last season of Dimension 20 and it was dope!

Michael Coggins

I know this is a comment you guys have gotten before, and I know it will get lost in the weeds, but in the off chance one of you ever reads it, I really want to say thank you so fucking much. I've had a really tough last year. Wife slept with someone else, getting divorced, moved to another state, and not long before all of that my mum passed... Your hilarious antics and amazing chemistry has truly been a beacon for me to stay positive. I hope to one day have friends I can play D&D with in a similar vain. You guys rock. Also fuck Yugo. Amir was awesome though. Would love to have him come back again too.

I really appreciate the tips for big groups, I’m running my first campaign and it’s sort of massive. I have 8 players (usually 7 or 6) and I hadn’t even thought about fighting one big bad. Genius! Thanks so much guys!

pooki

Damn I guess I’m banished from the Patreon. Glad my question caused so much drama 😂

Yusuf Qureshi

He's read too much lotr 😂

Frankenjam

Fellow Aucklander sounding off here! So it'll be this guy's family plus me.

Frankenjam

Lol Doonadin Fao Jake Dunedin is pronounced "Done Eden"

tacticalgrandma

Beverly dying for good feels like the worst of any pc tbh, bc he is still a kid

Up the NZ live show

Dave Johnson

Battle master is so fun! I play a gnome battle master in one of my campaigns that is very Inigo Montoya and it is a blast

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

Aw, no one wants to be a monk next? You can run up walls and across water and stuff! So many opportunities for shenanigans... #levelupcooter

Zed

Pleaaase come to New Zealand!

Cameron McEwan

I'm very ready for you guys to do an Australian/New Zealand tour. My whole family listen to Naddpod so we'd single handedly fill up half the seats in your Sydney show, just saying. ;)

Elysium Ervin

I’m still scared but I feel a little bit better about next week’s episode. Please, I need Beverly to live for his mom and Erlin.

i'm so not ready to say goodbye to the Boobs but i AM ready to say hello to the three characters you described at the end there omg

Ben Fleuter

Bevenant!

JT Gwozdz

I would already die for Mr/Ms. Fiasco.

Casey White

I can't wait to find out Bev's fate 😥

Geraint

Oh Jake... I really appreciate your love of New Zealand but your mispronounced literally everything 😆 that was so painful to hear

Ben Fleuter

Dusk Mother Revenant Bev! Grey boy!

Emily

If you guys go to NZ I’ll fly out there just so I can go to NZ and see ya’ll. 😂😂 COOL CALLAHY? (I think)

#levelupcooter

Yusuf Qureshi

Thanks for this short rest guys! So good! Come to Auckland, New Zealand, will 1000% be there, despite jake butchering my last name 😂 (its cur-esh-she)!!
