Okay I love Phillip.

Elizabeth Boskey

This is so delightfully demented

Hyena

Brennans Sweet old lady voice going “and I know the devil will give you all the power you need ☺️” LMAO

Sil

Alright, who is the merch gremlin of this co-op b/c I would very much like to purchase one poster-sized copy of this here fine poster

Nick

And GMing these folks is _chaotic!_ Nice one Erica, that was awesome!

Nick

My 4yo daughter loves this kids "Chicken Song". I now can't help myself but sing along with "Crime-a-doodle-doo!" And just very nearly added a "Motherfucker!" Thanks Brennan.

Apple Slapple

38:00 that crunch of his ankle breaking? Sickening. Actually made me cringe. Great job!

Sil

Reminds me of really early video game boxes

Sil

Aspiration + projection via role-play. The only explanation.

Krusty Bo Busty

Is every campaign gonna start with a rooster crowing and brennan playing a sweet old lady

Sil

I've never needed merch more than I've needed it for this one shot, and I say that having to pay in AUD.

Yaseen abdul-malik

I love u ruthy

Ashley Teatum

THIS is a DAMN DELIGHT, I'm at the chaos of loosing the horses and I'm just 💀

Karl Schmarl

FERGIEEEEEEE

Jamie H.

This episode took a turn for me when Ruthie went up to the nervous horse and I thought she was going to soothe him and instead they scared the shit out of him🤣 About to listen to the second half, I hope there's more Fergie🦝

legopsych

Haha, yeah I did enjoy the pun there. I guess I should have clarified, that "bringing up Cornell like this" specifically meant "bringing up Cornell in a way that is actively dunking on it just constantly!" Because, hilarious, but also ouch.

Tim

It might just be Corn-nell.

jose romero

I laugh harder the more evil the goat gets

legopsych

Okay but who went to Cornell that you all either love (and love to mock) or actually hate to keep bringing up Cornell like this? From a Cornell alum who isn’t used to people remember the school exists much less having strong feelings towards it. (Also I adored every minute of both episodes, Erika was incredible!!)

Allyn

OH MAY GODS YES!!!!

Sanja Trinki

Very..... Day of the Tentacle....

Kevin Goodwin

Can we please get a Fireside Chat for “A County Affair”?

Allyn

THANK YOU FOR ALSO GETTING IT!!!

Piper Bacon

this whole thing has big lucasarts energy

Allyn

I think I’ve been playing to many Lucas art point and click adventure games, because I can imagine everyone, ESPECIALLY THE JOCKEY, as characters from Monkey Island or a Sam and Max game.

AniOakley

Nothing could've prepared me for what happens in this 😂

Tiki Mug

Looks like its called Roll for Shoes, they talk about it in the prologue

Sarah

I'd love to know what system y'all are using. I may have missed it

Kitty Stryker

I'm definitely playing this for my dad, a Cornell alumni

Shelby

They absolutely need this as merch!

Shelby

I absolutely lost it during the scene where they spook the nervous horse. I laughed so hard I cried!

Logan Davis

This is so fun. The poster for this reminds me of something that I cannot remember. Anyone have any idea of inspirations for the design?

Khara Daniels

In his birth chart, everything except for the moon ends up answering to a VERY powerful Mars which is a planet associated with violence, combat, willpower, and energy and his Sun is ruled by Saturn which is the planet of old age.

Tania Roblot

It only refuses to play on overcast. I’ve tried reading my RSS feed. Every other episode works perfectly. Odd. But apparently works on Apple Podcasts. So I’ll listen there.

Tania Roblot

This episode comes up as “Not Authorized” on overcast? I can’t seem to be able to listen to it :’( Anyone had this issue?

Locemo

....why does Brennan love to play **criminal old people** I'm not knocking it, it's just interesting

Talon V

Thatsa Loserhoney fucking underrated tbh

lukas roman

Erika did a fucking amazing job!

vip2017

all i could think when they were doing character intros is Brennan went from Grandmother Wren to Grandmother Hen

Jennifer

I'm fking dying. Erika trying to keep everyone going is like watching someone else heard cats!

A

this was absolute chaos and I'm ✨living for it✨

Mae Worthington

It's ALL goat yoga

OtherJason

This is the most genuine "three friends having fun playing a game" I have ever experienced

Ashe

100%

CJ

Thanks for sharing this with us Erika. 💖 I can't imagine what it was like to have your first DMing experience publicized, but it's really neat.

Hannah Brown

RIP me listening to this while wearing my Cornell t-shirt 🥲

Alex T.

brb integrating this into my daily lexicon

Alex T.

Erika, I noticed that you set DC's for the players' rolls instead of having them roll against you to determine success. Is that a choice you made for this game, or have I been running RfS wrong this whole time? (it's totally okay if I've just been doin' it wrong)

AGENTAPPLES

This reminds me of the time aabria killed her riding goat in critical role

RoseWitch

I am desperate to know how many notes Erika wrote in prep for this and how much was off the cuff. DESPERATE! I have an image of just a nest of deep-dive notes for agricultural vibes and I'm here for it

Shannon Shea

The Cornell reference cracked me up because there is a school of ag and I knew a lot of farmers there!

Nickolas Mertens

Did I hear some inspiration from the Bastion soundtrack in the music here? Spike in a Rail? I love it!

To All The Men I've Tolerated Before

What do I have to do to get a "the lord's hand did not touch this creature" t-shirt?

Cobalt Paradox

Oh, man. LOVE the immediate acknowledgement of the rooster slurry. Gotta be in my top 5 reasons for going vegan.

katarina

Taylor, best use of "Night on Bald Mountain" I've ever heard oH MY GOD!

David Ritchey

This was amazing. Had me in tears with the rabbit race, the reverse reading, rat infestation and goat yoga. I wish this was longer than a one off. Such amazing work by everyone!

ohgodthepandas

More Satan than I expected for a county fair!

Matt Kilsby

Gotta respect Aabria’s commitment to not committing to Phillip’s accent

Alden Michels

Aabria’s tribute to The VVitch is amazing. Splicing it with goat yoga and Fergie Ferg is obscenely hilarious.

Devon

I am begging you to sell merch that says “dost thou wish to live Fergaliciously?” 😂

David Morales Boroff

Ooh, what’s that Bluegrass instrumental that comes in at 1:12:48? When they time skip? That theme bops.

Wrex Verdi

This was unhinged and I loved every minute of it. Looking forward to more from this crew.

jbyrd

Omg "if you stop running you die!!!!!!"

jbyrd

This pod is so fucking fun! Living at the airport until your plane arrives made me laugh out loud

AliceH

As An HR, this is pretty much every convo I have w money/equity IRL 🤣

Karen

Having an absolute BLAST with this. Everyone is so funny, and great work from Erika!

Megs

OK but how do we get the music?????? That theme rips.

HwlingMadMurphy

...just learned this whole "reverse reading" thing. Absolutely wild.

Jen M.

"Dost thou want to live Fergiliciously?" lolllll 💀💀💀

Conor Steinke

Okay that back cover text section is so well written. Can't wait to listen.

Justin Richter

I’m sitting here absolutely cackling at every “live deliciously” reference

Ren Challacombe

I just got my paper peer reviewed and published in a journal for the first time and if I can do it I believe a goat that might be the devil can do it

Jackaloop

REVERSE READING "I just laughed so hard I almost passed out" no you know I felt when I got episode 2-ed

Jackaloop

Shout out to Taylor for how fuckin unsettling the millions of rats in the rafters felt. Double shout out to the great and powerful Erika for making the entire situation happen

Bee Ami

This is hilarious omfg I was failing at trying not to laugh out loud so hard that multiple coworkers asked me if I was ok lmao

Madison Beske-Somers

This was sooo good I love how chaotic players are in one shots

Ryan

This is my favorite piece of content please more a lot more

The Overthinker

This is what happens when you give a goat the power to read and reverse read. It is awesome.

Mike Chapman

I do hope we learn at some point whether Brennan chose the name Ruthie, or it was issued to him per Aabria's quite sensible advice.

bluebluebutton

Erika is killing the gm game!

Brandon Rilling

ERIKA YOU DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB I LOVED THIS SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin Goodwin

The idea of trying to keep Aabria, Brennan, and Lou on the rails, good god pure chaos! Sending healing to Erika!

Sarah Vee

This is a really fun one-shot, and just about the vibe I need right now (in a lot of pain and having a hard time concentrating on my usual podcast faves and/or my usual faves are too much of a downer). This and Dungeons and Drag Queens are hitting at just the right time for me!

Nora Edgren

With that scene on the computer, this could almost be Click Clack Moo for Adults

Jesse Belanger

Aabria channeling Marcid wasn't something I knew I needed until now!

Toe

be horny do crime!!!!

Toe

ERIKA U KILLED IT. TALENTED. BRILLIANT. INCREDIBLE. AMAZING. SHOW STOPPING. SPECTACULAR.

Josh

Brennan as a gilf hen is everything 🤣

Jack Westbrook

"Dost thou want to live Fergiliciously?"

Jack Westbrook

Roll for Shoes looks incredible. I have ideas for combining it with Microscope.

Corey Lynn

yall did so amazing! and erika you're an EXCELLENT gm ♡♡♡

Mack Whaley

Do we know if there will be a fireside chat?? 💛💛💛

Dylln

PitchforkTunaCan69 😭

Kendall MacKay

Create Monster 4 ❤️❤️❤️

Patrick Hutsler

Campaign 2… Doors 3…😉

Jack Wilkinson

Fully losing it at the HR management, this is pure gold

Gavin McDonald

(Defeated sigh) "Yes, you can roll for HR."

Josh Neff

I didn't realize how much I needed a Bremen Town Musicians-meets-Leverage mashup until now.

Maia Costea

Good job, Erika!!! You were a perfect captain to the most unhinged plans possible, such a wonderful energy to bring to the table! You worked hard, roll around in the compliment!

Andrew Guthy

So when are we getting "Dost though wish to live Fergaliciously" merch?

Lee Philips

Aaaaah!! It's so good! Erika, you did amazing! Your descriptions are so vivid and your npc's are wonderful and very distinctive. And you made that pumpkin sound incredibly delicious. Also, the sheer amount of horniness in a one shot about farmyard animals was wild. Brennan as unhinged elderly people who stopped giving a fuck about what anyone thinks of them years ago is definitely one of my favorite genders. And of course that level of chaos got to Aabria "monster fucker" Iyengar. The cutbacks to Lou's character were so funny. Also, very on brand for Lou's PC to now have like three different names. I can't wait for the next part!

Kevin VanderJagt

Incredible. So unbelievably fun, please do another one of these heists again in the near future. The 'cause' fear moment' had me crying I was laughing so hard.

Kar_bear17

Wooooooooowwwwwww this was truly fantastic and so funny. I’m sitting here at my desk trying not to look like a psycho shaking laughing at my desk

Brook Wentz

Yes yes!!! It was so catchy!

Brook Wentz

Erika I'm so proud!!! You did so good and this was so much fun to listen to. I can't wait for the next installment y'all!!

Caitlin Campbell

wow it’s so cool that lou was able to join us by the fireside!

Dj Michaelopolis

This was so great and Erika, you slayed in spite of the truly chaotic table vibe (which I also enjoyed). Can't wait to hear more!

amoonheart

never thought i’d be so delighted to be reading the words “a human man” but this was a *golden* bit.

abardnamedkate

This exactly 😂

abardnamedkate

Yes, yes, yes! I laughed so hard so many times! This was so good 😆 I know what to do the next time my group is short players. One shot time baby! Way to go Erika!!!!!

Mike Histon

Loved this, great work Erika! Can't wait for part 2!

Allyn

I need this music to be published at some point, cause it’s so fucking good!!! The main theme’s SO GOOD!!! {but also please take your time}.

ilanawannacookie

This was incredible! Great job Erika!!

Alan

Phillip might just be one of my favorite TTRPG characters of all time. The feral energy is real

Konner

"You will make the boys go loco" made me laugh so hard I woke up my sleeping cat and nearly fell off my couch

Di4mond4rr3l

Erika you have done such a good job! All us DMs could relate to you when Aabria declared she could do magic but you held on!

Addi Miyako

GOAT FEED GACHAPON 🤣🤣🤣

Clusterpunk Media

LOVE THIS!!!!!

Brad Barnes

So I now need audio of Aabria saying "Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?!" In the same voice she says, "LET'S GO!"

Ashley P

ERIKA!!! You killed this. No more bathroom floors, you are an incredible GM.

Mike S

Everyone is outstanding, but Brennan's penchant for playing doddering old psychopaths is genuinely amazing.

Adam

Just know I've already registered pitchforktunacan69@gmail.com and will be using this exclusively going forward

E. Filleul

It is working now thanks for the reply

Lilith Evenstar

Erika is truly MEANT for this. Despite the hedging in the teaser, I came in with high expectations of them. That they exceeded them is in zero ways a surprise. Every part of this is perfect. 100% going to try to get some friends to Roll for Shoes with me now!

Jeffrey Reisdorf

Everyone is firing on all cylinders for this. Erika is fantastic and I can't wait to hear what they have next! 😍😍

Worlds Beyond Number

The feed seems to be working fine. Check out the Instruction Manual pinned as the top post for troubleshooting tips! -t

E. Filleul

But the fire side chat are accessible tho and these are also exclusives are they not ?

GrnShttrdLyte

"Both eps will remain exclusive to this here Patreon for months," quoted from the description above. That may be why public feeds are unavailable, as it won't be made public until later.

Benedict Geddes

I love Phillip already

Cait Batchelor

also I'm teasing, this is amazing! Good job Erika!

Cait Batchelor

so I grew up on a farm - we bred dogs, goats, and horses - and ONE time a horse from down the road escaped and ran from his home to ours and apparently I looked enough like hie owner that he heard our horses, spotted me near the fence and immediately shoved his large horse head under my armpit bc he was freaked the fuck out - he did get reunited with his owner quickly and all was well. But, all this to say that even on farms we do generally notice when animals show up, thank you.

SvenTS

By the end of the first half Erika's simple country heist now has magic and a potential mass murder plot. Truly they have passed the GM trial-by-fire.
