“Aabria Iyengar: I'm sure everything with Silver will go fine, the episode ended well.” OOOOOOOOOOOoooOoOooOkay

John Dupree III

Lou's reaction to Steel's offer really rung true for me. I was heavily disfigured a decade ago, and my experience in the American healthcare system trying to put myself back together was frustrating and less than useless. After a decade of adjusting and living with my new normal, a retired surgeon approaches me, informs me of the reconstruction possibilities, and offers me a contact. It's a painful struggle, especially in the moment, to reopen that door to hope.

Archon of Commoragh

Frost Fairys are a highlight for sure.

SJB

I understand there may be times when you can't be in a good studio/recording space. But this sounds like headphone mics? This is a high profile podcast, which has a high number of backers, even if you're recording at home, do I have to listen to a Zoom call?

Jasmine

Question: real talk outside of the bit, is Brennan okay? I saw someone say that he wouldn't be present for any of the talk backs in era 2 but had no source on it and I only saw it that one time. Is he coming back?

Sky Young

Likewise, fellow Sky! I still geek everytime it's said. My brain's like "oops did someone say my name? Sorry I was listening to a podcast" haha

zeppelynne

Do y'all think y'all will release the soundtrack for Worlds Beyond Number at any point? I love the music so much the artist is so talented

Sky Rowan

Aabria, I need you to know, as a person with the name Sky in real life, you choosing it as Suvi’s wizard name makes up for the decades of never seeing my name on any little novelty keychain or notebook or sticker. I love this so much. It’s the little things for me

Ruvi

"A NEW FEAR"???? YOU GUYS HAVE NOT LIVED W THIS WORRY SINCE EP 1??? three childhood friends grow up and are hot now??? i've been So Conserned about this third wheel possability for Forever fjyjt

Ashley Teatum

Exactly what I was thinking

Derek Davidson

We need some episodes of Eursulon and the foxes restaurant critique show, "Eats that in'spire' "

Vice Versailles

Sonder is an absolute treasure. Really demonstrating his name. Just a whole and complete life going on entirely outside the narrative

Mushroom Morgan

I am so deeply team the PCs just happily end up in polyamory

ParticleZon

Just have Saige stop by for a guest character appearance. Aabria & her natural energy will shift everyone off of any other sapphic ship. Then she leaves and Suvi can pine.

Siverbullets23

There was a "room where it happens" missed moment when talking about the archmages meeting room

Shades Run

I watched Transcendence along time ago, I also liked it 😂

Christen Bushie

Bold of you all to assume that we *just* set that ship sailing. Suvi constantly showing off to Ame is 100% a trope

Xathonn X

Yeah I hope he comes back soon, I really like the DM insight in aftershows

jfromid

Well, during the children's campaign, when Eursulon first tried to go home, Brennan asked if he was carrying the Pauldron.

geansai

honestly don't know where the idea that everyone hates silver came from!! feeling indifferent is not hate 💖

Katlynn

I love the reference to Brennan’s “Dom DM” moment

Winifred Yost

my deeply unproven theory is that Aabria was more than happy to leave little crumbs of ship bait here and there in a slow burn / angst / plausible deniability that fuels fan fic way, and Lou or someone else was like "legit please no, that would be The Worst as a playing experience" and everybody was like "yeah cool we all want to have fun and a good time" and this was kind of a course correct to let the fans know not to expect it to happen on the podcast. Or Aabria legit played things way more sapphic than even she realized and was surprised by the... enthusiasm of the response no matter the how and why tho, mad respect for setting clear expectations and respecting the comfort/bounds of everyone at the table

Jonah Loeb

Silver is, like, two or three years older than Suvi. There's absolutely no way he was involved with the League of Whispers.

Lilith Evenstar

Brennan's turn on Candela wrapped up earlier in the month, and from some of the things they have said it sounds like the firesides are usually recorded in the week before they air. My guess is that Brennan had been in production on a D20 sidequest this past month, or possibly working on his new improv show with Izzy.

Peter Crowell

If I had to guess; his playing Candela on Critical Role conflicted with recording these, which would mean Aabria will miss some soon

Peter Crowell

Was literally coming on here to post the same idea. Have the guests, Lou and Brennan play themselves. Erika or Aabria play as beard guy and the other GM

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I agree, and I seriously doubt they would be pressured into anything. It's just funny that Aabria hadn't realized the ship had sailed, since she is in the comments on Discord--or was for a while.

Evilest Teapot

Also the point at which 'Ame thanks Eursalon for visiting her in the infirmary and says she knew Suvi was there, too, because "there was one place on the bed that had her scent."' is in ep 16 at around the 1.20.00 mark

Brian Smith

*spoiler ? Theory ?* . . What if Eursulon’s “amulet, talisman, anchor” is the golden armor? Curran's Pauldron?

David Caponi

It’s around the marks 1:18:15 and 1:33:18 in the pod btw

David Caponi

I’ve been doing a listen through and lo and behold! Episode #6: Fresh Fish, 6 months ago, there are not one but TWO times that Suvi calls herself Sky. Picture perfect foreshadowing, people!

Justin Melillo

Is this a "we know brennan isn't available for a while" or a "brennan's schedule unfortunately just hasn't lined up" situation? I love the firesides but it does feel like something is missing without the GM perspective there

Harold Dupree

Wow, that is amazing

Kristin Higginbotham

I believe it’s been established that the guests also play as Eurselon each episode, which makes the consistency of his character episode to episode all the more amazing

Ley

I don’t think that’s true at all about female characters, but I also don’t think the online ship is going to affect how Aabria or Erika play it

Evilest Teapot

The surprise makes me think that they genuinely hadn’t thought of it and therefore that the story will not go that way. Although I do love the ship and will sail along with the rest of you I just hope that the Wbn crew don’t feel pressured into anything

Lojaan

I kinda get disheartened by ships like this. It's so surprisingly rare to see real friendships in media without them being turned into romances

lil guy

I want an avengers franchise of all the guest stars

The Overthinker

I also liked Transcendence.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

But Silver is Suvi's age, so if he's part of it, he is next-generation, like her.

Merissa McClure

Baking is science for hungry people

mguin

Also: magical confections are WOEFULLY underused as a concept

mguin

Chekov's gourmand fox, calling it now

Lilith Evenstar

I have my moments.

atomic

You are a genius

Lilith Evenstar

Can the next campaign be a series of Lou's guests DMing the Panama Rescue Story with Aabria as Brennan, Erika as Lou, and Brennan as Mr. Beardguy?

Zac

Hopefully he’s just busy with the most wonderful things.

Matthew B

Wizard Sorry is the Citadel's chief ambassador. They are incredibly smooth but no one really believes what they say. Wizard Sincere, on the other hand, is beloved by all, but they don't let them talk to outsiders. We don't talk about the wizard Silly.

Matthew B

The wizard Ship hates Silver but no one really knows why.

Matthew B

The wizard Slim was named Jim. The wizard Savage was named Randy. They are life partners and are the only ones in the whole world who keep each others' birth names.

Matthew B

The wizards Saber and Scimitar are twins who insist they are totally different but people get them confused all the time.

Matthew B

The wizard Slap is def multiclassed monk.

Matthew B

I'm wiz Shady, I'm the real Shady All you other wiz Shadys are just imitating

Brandon Carbaugh

What up y'all, I'm the wizard Sicknasty!!! [does a kickflip while casting a fireworks cantrip and absolutely beefs it]

Ben Hazel

What if next time Mr Drifts accepts the return invitation except he isn't able to make it so HE needs to have a replacement

Toe

me 🤝 Erika narrative edging

PhillyMoe

Because she said #CeaseFire and El Musky is a toddler

PhillyMoe

As a fellow tumblrer, if I was to have reservations about Silver, it would be from the idea that the group has yet to identify the people Soft and Stone were battling against. If S names indicate power, Silver, who was already named well before Suvi, could have been part of it.

Matthew B

Someone could turn Tumbler around on Silver with some sexy fan art of him looking at the camera and saying "What's up? Drama!"

B Dunks

Truly hoping for a wizard named Snickerdoodle who just makes baller cookies

Beignet Gesserit

No Brennan again 😶‍🌫️

Rachel

I’m on tumblr and I like Silver! It’s really ok!!

Matthew B

S-tier wizards confirmed. Headcannon: Somewhere in the world there is a wizard named Shit and they are THE SHIT.

Roy Ernster

So at this point, are we getting a either a one shot recreation of Brennan and Lou’s adventures in Panama, or, and this is my preference, a full on scripted audio recreation of said events with Brennan, Lou, and Aabria/erica playing the captives against whoever isn’t a captive playing the captee?

bitterbaldguy

I was one of those tens of people to watch Transcendence, I believe in you Aabria!

Tommy Deibel

Aabria- as the youngest of 3, you got sibling dynamics down pretty damn well

Carrie Mook Bridgman

"Who is this boy standing in the way of a ship that we just set sail"?!? Oh, Aabria, honey, that ship sailed the first day of the main campaign. You were there. You saw the comments, at least here. I have been resisting that idea, myself. I like the sibling dynamic, and I worry about Eursalon being the odd one out. But after that episode? Don't pretend you and Erika are surprised. It's not just the writing-on-the-hand scene, either. I can't find it right now, but I think it was in this episode where Ame thanks Eursalon for visiting her in the infirmary and says she knew Suvi was there, too, because "there was one place on the bed that had her scent." Lou: "It would be awesomeif that ship could sink." Thank you! If any three (!!!) players could pull that off, it would be these three, but I really hope they don't condemn Lou to a "cursed experience." It's a long campaign. Maybe later they could bring in a couple more regular players to ease the dynamics, and something could happen there. I just think it's hilarious that Aabria sounds surprised.

Jonah Loeb

100% agree with Lou, sink that damn ship before it leaves the harbor

Nicholas Mock

Exactly where everyone is a different versions of these podcast guests

Tom J

Fireside Chat Out of Context: "Yes, go to the mat for edging!"

Worlds Beyond Number

Katrina Focht

I'm glad the Tumblr girlies agree because I will go down with the Suvi and Ame ship 🫡

Why did aabria get kicked off Twitter?

faizaan723

Dw Aabria, *I* think Silver is great

Harold Dupree

Now I won’t assume anything about the patrons of WBN, but all of Lou’s guests have a very robust knowledge of the episodes and the firesides. Is Lou giving out content for free to all these folks? It’s his right to do so, but surely he wouldn’t give out now over a dozen free passes
