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

Brennan you're a nasty NASTY man!!!
The Wizard Sparrow
It’s time to revisit the beauty of 12 brooks, despite its demise and tragic conclusion the story warms my heart ❤️🔥🦊
Launchpad
Brennan, on GOD. 👊
AGENTAPPLES
I hope that they survived
Erin R
Finishing this episode for the second time on April 21st, 2025, I am afraid of what will befall this beautiful town and can only hope that this story is picked up so we can experience some happiness 😭
Falka
Does April 20th (blaze it) 2025 count?
I cast Vicious Inspiration
same. 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
Slam Dunkle
Listening 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.
Joker
I was right!!
I-Guzzle-Twinks
Brennan, you're EVIL man! 😭
Margarita Noriega
Who's here in 2025 (Specifically, April 8, 2025)
Madeline Salter
He's busy cooking up one-liners I guess :)
The Wizard Sparrow
They were Granoh
The Wizard Sparrow
I 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
The Pompous Peasant
Why were Buckles parents taken? Missed that
Elisabeth Gallegos
Just listened to this after Speak with Animals AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Maddie Moreland
Many 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.
The Wizard Sparrow
Wait… is Jay the great bull frog???
The Wizard Sparrow
My thoughts exactly
The Wizard Sparrow
Will 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!!!
Ambz
i 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
Kaitie
Listened to this after Aid and Comfort. WHERE IS BUCKLES?!?!?!?!?!? IS HE OK?!?!?! IS LEA OK?!?!?
The Wizard Spite
To losely quote Jujubee "how can you be so nice and so evil?"
Finnley W
yesssss i need more 12 brooks
Lauren
Masochists here after Peace and Quiet rise up
Asra Kabdi
Listening 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 💀
irisilmaril
Everyone 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.
kragonaught
WHERE IS BUCKLES
kragonaught
IS HE OKAY
Emma Henson
Flawless, more please
Amy Knutson
Please can we have more. This is utterly charming.
Josh David
I've been catching up and happen to land on this episode tonight on a night where it was exactly what I needed.
OogaBooga
The jug performance was legendary despite the odds
Jade
Is there any chance this will get picked up again? It's such a charming town and beautiful characters. I'd love to hear the rest of the story.
Alcocaine
This episode is such a banger and a feel-good overdose.
Kellie O Edwards
THIS IS NOT HOW I WANTED MORE TWELVE BROOKS!!!!!
Joker
Yeah I forsee this little town being destroyed in the main game later
rio
I can't wait for Brennan to play the Man in Black turning Twelve Brooks into a necropolis...
Lilith Evenstar
I love the Michael Nyman-esque energy of Mr. Spence's EXQUISITE composition.
larkermouse
Really hope we get more of this soon!
Kayzar
Totally nailed what I wish being a teacher was like 😂
Hedge Mage Banbabbabeebiblioboo
some 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
this was everything omg I love them
Colibri
Oh 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 💙
Daxeah
I need so much more of this!!! It just fills my heart with joy.
Sami Main
Here just in case I never said but this episode is specifically a comfort episode for me whenever I fly. It is so soothing and grounding for me and it’s such a balm
Jenneryy
I love it so much!! I really hope we get the next part!
Millie Moshpit
Are we ever getting the second part of this?
Lux ❤︎
MORE 12 BROOKS
Louise Yaganiski
I keep listening to it. I can’t stop. I need more twelve brooks!!
Joshua Sakai
God my heart is so full
Nick Grant
WE NEED MORE OF TWELVE BROOKS
Naomi Langevin
I 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.
Aabria Iyengar
(btw - thank you SO MUCH for the Suvi dice! I almost forgot what it's like to do things successfully!)
Zoë Berry
As a Dutch person I can attest to this, however I’ve been experiencing a profound lack of giant bullfrogs :(
leotoffee
That's the first time I've heard I've ever heard at nat 20 on disadvantage 😂😂 story dice coming in clutch
Caleb Jinright
improv is so beautiful
Felix
you are all the most brilliant people
Dylan O'Donnell
The Professor, the Fuckboy and the Honored Friend
Blake Cipperly
Is there going to be a transcript for this one? I am looking for a spelling of something
Gabriel Aviles
I need more of this so badly, this is my 3rd listen and we NEED a part 2 after this chapter of WWW
Sonya
It’s so nice to have a story set in Umora that is just wholesome and pure with no real struggle ❤️ fed my lil heart
KnockOffGrimReaper
the 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
Tuker
Such a treat. The opening made me misty for how pure everything was.
Sean Case
An utterly captivating and charming tale - it reminded me of 1980s fantasy films in the best ways. What a talented group of storytellers!!!
Cole Pulcinella
I loved this little story! It wasn't longer enough lol And the score was so beautiful!!!
Niko Ortiz
I need more of this right now actually
Ryanath
A town with impressive water infrastructure, a thriving dye milling industry, and delicious cheese production. Thats not twelve brooks, thats the Netherlands.
Mark Denn
I 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!!!
Beomene
Let'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!!!
Savannah Johnson
the most perfect snippet of story. what a masterful job of creating such a colorful mind world
Christopher Underhill
simply amazing 😭🐸
Nailo Dice
What an honor to assist J with scoring the lead Bullfrog role. 🥹 thank you!!!
Saleibriel
"cambions" are also a classical name for certain demons, which kinda... says something about how the Empire feels about shapeshifters
Inauspicious
*sad Aabriya voice*: "Why did the dice get bad again?"
Inauspicious
"No, you may not." CRYING
Inauspicious
"It is not one of those! And even if it is, it need not be!" I love y'all so much.
Jerry was a Rancor driver, drove so gotdam fast
Shout out to Taylor's earnest-ass tones while majestically underscored, making me all emotional AFTER the game. I love all y'all! -Tony/h47
Michael Link
Jay is giving peak Mozart energy (from Amadeus)....
Evelina Meiklejohn
This was so cute and delightful and perfect!! 💖
susan tiss
That was most sweet. 💜
Jenny
This is perfect and I need Erika playing more himbos asap
ella thompson
also i love this idea for running a oneshot where the world is built by the players in this way
ella thompson
gosh this music is so beautiful
Aragnnock Hod
Let Aabrya play cutes fays. She deserve cuteness in her life 😭 As usual, all of you were perfect. What a wonderful little trip
Medway
I am going to riot I want more so much
TK
That was so goddamn pleasant, wow! Also, "cambiens" for shifters was so good, Brennan's really flexing his Spanish lol
Louise Yaganiski
I love the normal storyline. But I definitely didn’t want this one to stop!!! It was giving major Rogers Hamerstine Cinderella vibes! Love it! Love you guys!
Alessandra Vallado
Please Brennan we need a part 2 where we help our beautiful baby boy frog 🐸💚
Ethan Scott Baird
I would love y'all to run some off main sessions like this with Lou, Aabria, or Erica DM'ing in this world with some guests (from Dimension 20, CR, Dungeons & Daddies, or others)
Christian Kavanagh
One shot?! Nuh uh, get back here and tell us how these wonderful people help this sweet little frog boy!
Thomas Johnson
agreed. I wanted everything to pause for awhile longer in hopes that we get much more time in Twelve Brooks. I was immediately smitten.
Grace Coleman
The world is just so beautiful and full of life, I’m so happy to be apart of this community who gets to experience it
Hex Sharpe
...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)
Ahbuu
the amount of heart in these stories is astounding. I can’t wait to hear more interludes and hope we can meet these characters again :)
Bree Manahan
Ugh, had to turn it off and cry at my desk for a while because I wanna live in Twelve Brooks so badly.
MK
The prompts, the perfect joyful world building, and the music 😭😭😭 THE MUSIC!!! 100000/7 would die for Buckles 🐸
Moosemade
Not low-key terrifying to be a Wuvvy, I don't think
Moosemade
No! It can't be just this! Don't make me leave Twelve Brooks! I don't want to gooooooooooo!
Devon Layocck
Truly magical! Some of the most vivid and well put descriptions of a fantasy town I’ve ever heard!
Orangetronic
what an absolute joy. i’ll think of this whenever the frogs are singing to me this summer
Shelby Welby
Lovely
James
I am so charmed by this. I love these characters and this town so much.
Melissa Whitehurst
Only 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
Jack Barlow
I 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.
Matt Kilsby
Erika absolutely nails the lovable himbo energy from Jay
Matt Kilsby
This was spellbindingly beautiful and fun and effortless. These lovely people are so good at what they do ❤️
Samantha Demmerle
I fell in love with Twelve Brooks immediately 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Giant Tom Hanks
This was so much fun!! I wonder where in the timeline of Umora this takes place
Catherine S Wall
*gestures at satyr played by Aabria* Is this a Wuvvy?
WiGeekMom
This was great!!! Can't wait to go back.
Quinn Hardie
Such a great way to see other parts of the world! Love the idea of short views into different stories every now and again :)
LVK
Dropping a snippet of a story > playing through to a natural conclusion. Whatever the storytelling version of edging is, this is it
Aaron Paley
I kind of hate my job, but I could not stop smiling the entire time I was listening to this at work. You guys are extraordinary storytellers.
Kyle David Perry
Why is this opening prompt and music making me well up right away?
Liuba M
Up 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!
Ruvi
Hey this joseph dude slaps!! Good job joseph! Also ♡♡ love this!! Ep 2 When (affectionate)♡♡ Also ×2 when the bullfrog theme happened i got chills in a way i cannot explain for such an odd instrumentation????? Music never ceases to amaze me ALSO ×3 the way yall describe this snd the music on top is SO PICTURESQUE i might cry thats so beautiful and colourful ♡♡♡
Emma Runswick
Agree with this! Stunning, and would be so good to just listen to, even without the story.
Obakam Ogaji
1 in 400 chance guys the spirits truly walk among us
cami
such a wonderful story 😭 i would love to see these characters again in the future <33
REO
Hey quick question: why the heck isn’t this like five more hours long?!?!?? please?!?!?
Al
Mary and Jay have such Ricky and Esther energy and I adore it.
Caeodos
I love the art, the music, the story, the characters. It made me so happy listening to this!! Thank you for creating this and sharing it, I can't wait for more!
ProsperousPotato
The music reminds me so much of Lena Raine's work for the game Chicory. Beautiful stuff.
Krusty Bo Busty
Why is lou almost always silent for the first twenty minutes of so many one offs and talkbacks
Amaya
I'm just now realizing that a part 2 isn't listed on the upcoming release schedule. Maybe the rest of the interludes will be interspersed with the release of the main campaign??? If not, I'll have no choice but to keep listening to this on repeat the way I have been since this dropped
redolent forsooth
The score is incredible!!!
Amaya
I would be absolutely DEVASTATED (but yes, I could see it happening)
Charles Ewing
Just wow.
tayycro
Now so okay, are you not doing more of this? are we supposed to just be in SUSPENSE???
Lucien Thunderstruck(Please insert Mungo roar)
More please ❤️❤️❤️🐸🐸🐸
Eva - What's My Body Doing
THIS WAS SO SPECIAL AND WONDERFUL!!!!!! Damn y'all, this was the sweetest ever, I'm going to end up listening to it over and over as my new go-to comfort media
Ben Brownlee
WBN continues to be the best $5 you can spend.
Judah Subject
Have they said when part 2 will drop? I didn’t see on the calander
macksimumchaos
The music reminds me so much of the little bear show
Josh Neff
Delightful and hilarious! I definitely want to see (well, hear) these characters again.
Matthew B
Akira Kurosawa's YoHimbo, starring Jugband Jae!
Riley Crowder
Id like to announce on an unrelated note that my partner made Congee as an experiment, and because we already had a sort of rice pudding I spiced it up and made a variant on Juk with Eggs and Chicken, and it was delicious. :)
nandrusin
Well this is lovely!!
Joanne Moody
Such a delight 😃
Fireflux
Wow, if this didn't absolutely make my week! (And it's been a tough week, that's no small task). The underscoring here was UNBELIEVABLE, Joseph David Spence absolutely killed it! I hope we get to hear from him again soon!
The Wizard Syndicate
I 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!
Alissattack
This was so delightful to listen to!
Ren Challacombe
this cured me
Ursa
I loved this so much, my face hurts from smiling the entire time
El Jefe
Hearing 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.
kragonaught
these is such a quintessential one-shot 😭 the trust between these players makes me so happy
kragonaught
so we all agree miri was REALLY into the frog head right 🐸👀
Alexander
Fun fact: Buckles' family name "Greno" most probably comes from "Grenouille" which is french for frog! 🐸
peas&frankyou
@Taylor - when does the ost drop?
Walker Woldstad
Dude I cry brennan is the dm he plays with my feelings to much
Miyaa
I’m not sure anyone else has suggested this, but when can we get a map of this city?
Joshua
Not even 10 minutes in and I’m already weeping. The sound design matched with their amazing storytelling. I want to live here so bad.
Haroherimen
Only 9 minutes and 25 seconds into this one shot and this town is already so charming, I’m low key furious that I can’t move there tomorrow
Skorp Corp
This was the treat I didn’t know I needed! 😭🐸 Thank you WBN crew for your creativity and imagination, music, production, everything. I can’t recommend this podcast to my friends enough.
Skorp Corp
Yes! The excited squeals and laughter as they build these stories and worlds are contagious. You can tell how much fun they have together!
Austin Bentley
Why did the music bring me to tears this is beautiful
Jenna
This was absolutely darling, and it brought me immeasurable joy! I hope there will be time and space to revisit these characters one day.
Alyssa
@WBN we need the hooch jug version of devil went down to georgia!
FELIX J
Can anyone else see Brennan just nuking Twelve Brooks in the main campaign?
Lorna Burns
I’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
Jorey Kay Mull
MINT!
Nicholas Paul Arman
I need the music from this episode stat!
Worlds Beyond Number
Sounds like a great idea for some Twelve Brooks Fan Fiction. Go forth!
Worlds Beyond Number
"Bone Cone" is short for "Bonus Content." Aren't we fun? Aren't we just too much?
flyingwriter
Maybe silly question: what is bone cone? Also when I heard the ampatheater description, I thought “ahh hear comes the musical episode”!
Timothy A.L. Crawley
Perfect as always
Ajax
*weeps in urban planner*
Carrie Mook Bridgman
Long-distance hugs to you.
Manisha
Absolutely obsessed with the music/score in this one shot. So beautiful. Really took my breath away at several times
Carrie Mook Bridgman
Well, they're not going to stop in the middle. I just hope we don't have to wait til the end of Arc 3 of WWW for Part 2 of Twelve Brooks.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
Ouch. ;)
Carrie Mook Bridgman
I am trying to visualize Leah. Need character art. Is she part spider, or a satyr with extra arms and regular hands?
Lojaan
Me too! I read it too my daughter at least once a week. She loves it too
Lojaan
WUVVY!!!!
Bryan
The 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”
Johnathan Arriola
The 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.
Karen mc donnell
When all my world is burning and it feels like there's nowhere safe you drop this and give me rest
Ian
What a beautiful story. Thank you to everyone involved... heard and unheard <3
On the Fence
I need to steal this game format.
Alex
This 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
This was so lovely! Please give us a part two? 🐸💚
Esther
ahhhh, 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)
Ale
Rock on
Christopher Dwyer
It's a One-Shot, so probably not
James O'Dwyer
Well that was just charming. I am as much a fan of these side stories and oneshots as I am of the main campaign
Luke Rose
Gods I needed this. The peace this has inflicted on my heart against its will cannot be overstated or ignored. Thank you all
Joe
Will there be a second part of this?
Haepenny
What an amazing little window into another facet of this beautiful world 😭♥️
Cole Carpenter
The music reminds me a lot of Colin Stetson, amazing work.
Worlds Beyond Number
We absolutely will!
Space-Weather
That was really good, wow!!!!
Micah Butts
A live SAX PERFORMANCE?!
Erika Iverson
Please give my sincere congratulations to the guest composer! Holy moly, it was so beautiful! I almost wept on the F train back to Brooklyn!
bloops
I’m very much imagining Jay as Arajin from Bucchigiri!! with actual charisma; please help me, he’s actually kinda rizzing me up from behind the screen
Marcius
14:14 I legit turned around because I thought someone was behind me with a sloshing water jug. That was a crazy 3D sound
Alex Ochoa
What an amazing story!
Emily C
Buckles is giving real big Lukas from Burrow's End energy
Jackaloop
I 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
Did not know how badly I needed Erika to play a himbo
Kevin Goodwin
So…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.
MagnaniMel
I 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.
Brandon Scott Robertson
ive never really commented on these things, been listening since the start of the show, but i absolutely love this. im only 13 minutes in but PLEASE make more of these. The incredible worldbuilding you guys do is some of my favorite stuff on this show and this is basically just everything i want distilled.
Yaseen abdul-malik
We want more salmon!!!!!
Victometron
Taylor. The music. Tears of joy at 7:30am.
argylsocks
It was meant to be
DesertShaddow
I need more! This was pure joy! My heart is so full and happy.
Kelly Hauenstein
I've only listened to the first half hour but I've had a giant goofy ass grin on my face the whole time. I love everything about this so much. I can't wait to finish the rest of it!
Kevin Goodwin
What a ribbiting tale
Smitsel
Anyone else terrified that Buckles is gonna grow up to be Eioghorain? Or is that just my brain connecting shapeshifters?
Foraged Blueberry
Absolutely delighted by this. The jug hooting made instrumental absolutely tickled my funny bone.
Genna
Delighted, awed, smiling from ear to ear, crying, swelling with joy ✨ Umora is my favourite THE SAXOPHONE 🔥
Adam
Hey ya'll? You're making joy. Literally spinning joy from nothing, whole cloth. Never stop.
Step
Will we get a sound track the music was lovely!
Bria A.
I am: delighted. 🥹
Zoop
Wow, this is unbelievably delightful! It’s so insanely cool to listen to them spin this wonderful little story together-I am very excited for more in the future!
Clairodactyl
I love this so much. I would like to adopt Buckles please, I love that child/frog, he's so baby!
Jasmine
This is everythinggg
TeacupTheBopcaJournalist
This is amazing and I love it so much!!! True spring time energy and we love!!!
JoelleDFTBA
This is such a tease! Now I want to get to the next hiatus just so we can learn more!
Cortney Cline
I love this! I cannot get enough world building from these people!
Mia Mac-Pry
Brennan: *introduces Buckles* Me: I will die and/or kill for Buckles. My sweet bebby boy.
Merritt Lane
I just love this world! Thank you so much for creating it.
Sydney Jay
I don't know how y'all manage to make me cry practically every episode, but you did it again! This was absolutely beautiful 😭💚🩷💚🐸!!!
Mia Mac-Pry
God, Erika’s description of Jae is giving young hot Toshiro Mifune.
Grace
This is so wonderful. As y’all were creating this town I was squealing with excitement. I love it!
Worlds Beyond Number
Yeah! We really enjoyed making this one, as I'm sure you can hear, so we def wanna do more. Pretty fun to just sit down with nothing and make up stuff with your friends. A++ would recommend.
Christian Paul D. Barrera
Agree with this comment wholeheartedly
Ren Dara
Interlude # 1 means we will have more right?
AbsoluteMission
oh I LOVE this
Koi Boi Tracy
gods DAMN IT, TAYLOR’S DONE IT AGAIN WITH THE MUSIC. I LOVE THIS FUCKIN SHOW
mguin
Jay's muffled voice 😆
KidChimera
The absolute cruelty of making me fall in love with Leah, Salmon, and Jay, and their corner of the world only to take it away
mguin
Just fantastic - everyone made such beautiful contributions when shaping the town (shoutout to libraries in humidity). Welcome Joseph, you & Taylor knocked it outta the park!
Billy Jeckel
That was so good, brought back the joy and wonder that makes me love these creators so much
Iridium
This is Delightful-
jerry stokvis
i would kill for buckles
Courtney Yovich
Bravissimo! The score was absolutely magical!
Joseph David Spence
You guys are so nice!!! This was a dream to score. The cast made this super easy to fall in love with Twelvebrookes and find the music. Also Taylor Moore is the best!!
Joseph O'Toole
THIS IS DEEPLY BEAUTIFUL! could we possibly have it continue as a fewshot please please please please please please please please please please please please please please 😭
TPK_light
I love this so much. It's genuinely stunning to watch them create everything out of whole cloth. It's just such a great reminder that they are fully building this world out of their imagination and synergy. It's crazy impressive and I adore the town details and character choices
HexMix
The guest composer COOKED on the score for this one 😍
Tommy Deibel
Nothing compliments a summer festival better than an amazing pair of jugs.
Brandon Webb
The first 12 minutes of this oneshot, in describing 12 Brooks, was the reason I fell in love with this podcast back during the Children’s Adventure. These four effortless create such whimsical, yet grounded, worlds that are so lovely to explore.
Katrina
I love Buckles sooo much!!! 🐸
Stephen Henning
Whoa my goodness this score is simply ENCHANTING
David Paynter
That was so lovely!
DorkLady
The way that i am so immediately charmed by Twelve Brooks before they even introduced characters!!! I fell in love myself!!
PhillyMoe
This background music is enchanting af
Friday the Fierce
This was so cute! I want to spend more time in 12 Brooks! and I want to know more about what happens to this little crew 💚
Jennifer Sieben
This is so fun!! And quite ridiculous how similar it is to where my PCs will be starting next month. I might have to add more frogs to my world.
Christopher Wohlgemutg
I love that the music follows the improvised music of Jay
theelizabethjoy
How am I supposed to go in with my day after listening to this magical episode?
Nick Nelson
After reading the open beta rules, I really feel like WBN would thrive in the new Daggerheart system from Darrington Press. Stoked for more of these side shots and it would be cool to see how different systems make the world and story feel different!
Abigail M
Jay is gender, goddamn. Small town chaos heart throb with fluffy black hair, my guy is living the dream
Melody Snow
I'm only 12 minutes in and I am IN LOVE with 12-Brookes
Jessie Harris
Oh my god that was so cute I want to die
Nairi Malkhasian
this was sooo amazing! would love more umora one-shots
Sean Ryan
The echo on Erika while jay is in the frog head killed me 😂
Britt Anderson
So excited to listen to this on my commute to work today!
puss-in-kinky-boots
my first thought upon hearing that Lia is a satyr was "omg Wuvvy!!!!!" such a fantastic little look into another part of Umora. Twelve Brooks sounds absolutely beautiful and i hope we get to revisit it some day!
lil guy
I had a really bad day and y'all made it infinitely better 🧡
Sharlin Espinal
What in the Masterpiece Theater did I just listen to? In the words of Brennan Lee Mulligan “In-credible.”

🦴🍦! Ohhh I can't wait to listen. It helps that this reminds me so much of the little lakeside, midsummer revel in my nook of the world. Huzzah 💙
Shannon Leimbach
So beautiful and whimsical. I’m moving to Twelve Brooks, everyone.

This is reminding me so deeply and so hard of a Dreaming story that I grew up hearing called Tiddalick 😭💚
Tom Barr-Forrest
This was so GOOD. And that outro?! My god.
Joan Cornudella
Taylor, the score is absolutely electric! I'm just replaying the first 13 minutes over and over. Can we please please please get it???? Did I say please already?
Michelle Spurgeon
I 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!
Callan Michael Webster
I would die for Buckles
SvenTS
So, so good and whimsical and sweet! But far, far too short! More! More! More! (Also I think Lou just established Umoran Acadians/Cajuns)
