“We’ve found locked doors, which is not the same as finding a wall. So it’s just about who has the key…Perhaps Soft and Stone gave some ability to you to bypass these locked doors, I don’t know.” 🫠🫠🫠 IS THAT SO?? 🙃

Ashley Teatum

Oh no it's me on my subsequent re-listen 👋

Udoka

Listening to this episode again and the sound effects are just gorgeous.

Ale

Love the consistency that I can watch gastronauts and experience heavy food twice. Sorry they cut out the part where I can only imagine Brennan explains that butter changes depending on the diet of the cows, the breed, and butter can be cultured and soured.

Sil

So help me if this sorcereress is the offspring of a certain spirit x consort, Brennan... 😂

Danielle St John

Is anyone else getting Nikhil (Battle For Beyond) vibes with Fox? Or is that just me...

Ashley Teatum

Hi it's me again making my way through on the re-listen, it's truuuly wild to hear this really sweet happy go lucky try everything delicious and fun at the Citadel episode 🥲

Jonesey

Spaces for screaming For learning and acting up Connect to living

Sil

... this shapeshifting SOB be hiding behind some Wicked Witch talisman with the equivalent of Nondetection, and YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

samecontent

The music and whimsy of this episode really got me in the feels.

Sil

Ooooh, I'm relistening and you better believe I don't trust that Merara (?sp) didn't cast the curse 😒 and isn't some sketchy Warlock for The Traveller 😡 the Waning Moon description is just a little too close

Ren Sotelo

That intro music twist was dirty, Taylor. Loved it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Beldaran

It's the Age of Arcanum and disco is never going to die, baby!

Val

Okay- did Aabria improv the bit about first year students dropping out after finding out about temóre bc that is subtle but BRILLIANT and the implications of it are delightfully unsettling

Megan

Brennan in a fireside chat after arc one: “I’m so excited to build more unique and fantastical places that Taylor can have fun creating incredible scores for ” Me- a rube: “how could it *possibly* become MORE fantastical and incredible? The bar is incredibly high- and Y’ALL put it there!!” *cut to me /immediately/ replaying the scene where they take the transport down to Haverward- because I completely got lost in the music and needed it in my BONES* “Well- my mortal senses clearly have no idea what a ‘bar’ is to gods.”

Skorp Corp

I want so badly to go to the night market, oh my goodness! Brennan has painted scene after amazing scene yet again for everyone to play in with so much enthusiasm, and the music always ties it together. I can never praise Lou, Erika, and Aabria enough for bringing so much relatability and fun in their role-playing! Eursulon already building a report with the community is DELIGHTFUL, he deserves to be excited about things again! Also I cackled out loud at one point 🦊🍲 iykyk

Lindsay

I haven’t finished this episode yet but omg; the music while Brennan is describing the Night Market 🥰 I desperately want a Worlds Beyond Number album/playlist PRETTY PLEASE!!!

Samantha

I just wanted to share that I started to come back and re-listen to this episode when I’m feeling down and need to manifest joy in my life - because this episode is FILLED with it! ❤️🥹 That is all.

Benedict Geddes

Absolutely busting waiting for the Wizard class details

Worlds Beyond Number

We definitely are! Had a bit of hiccup but we will catch up soon. Working to make them quicker in he future as well ;) -t

sree

i gotta ask, are we just not getting transcripts anymore? that'd be disappointing

Worlds Beyond Number

YES! Thank you! -t

Ashley Teatum

Saying it right now, I don't think he did it (vague for spoilers). I just said it aloud on my walk, absolutely not.

Paletuvier

Ooooh, that citadel music gave me big flashes of An American in Paris! So good! Such a vibe!

Tino Rosales

This episode made me make gumbo for the first time

LB Brimer

Hearing the music of the Citadel take off as they flew down to Havarward made me feel like I was hearing the Harry Potter OST for the first time. Full body goosebumps! Every time I think the music cannot possibly hit harder, here we are. Taylor, hats off to you!

Bee

Yeah Ioved that so much. Had to literally take a deep breath at the lost wheelchair though, actual nightmare fuel for me

Phoenix Vizva’i

“That’s a…”

Bill Willson

Any other parents whip their head over their shoulder whenever the crowd noise baby babbles or is it just me?

Derek Davidson

Please tell me there is a "Guest of the Citadel" pin or brooch in the next merch drop!!

Stephen Laster

°°°°°°Spoiler Warning°°°°°° °°°°°°Tinfoil Hat Time°°°°°° Is anyone else getting "Clean up Op" from Steele? I know Joren isn't exactly a treat, but the ONE TIME Steele has plausible deniability, Soft and Stone die? Did Soft and Stone find something in the Citadel that merited ACTUALLY turning coat?

Cipactli

yeah it's especially tough with no transcript :(

Carrie Mook Bridgman

And Lou Wilson. Excellent demonstration of how to involve players in world building.

Wilhelm Bulathsinhala

Hey Folx, just a heads up: sometimes the voice modulization makes it really bad for accessibility for Hard of Hearing and some others too. This particular ep with Suvi remembering what Steel said (at least I think that's what was going on), was incredibly difficult to understand. I have a touch of industrial deafness so I would assume there may be other people that need more accessible content.

Riley Crowder

Episode 16: World Building with Brennan Mulligan. :)

Lost Shoe

Is that galithopter? as in, from the Greek γαλήνη (galēnē) meaning "stillness of wind & sea" plus πτερόν "feather, wing" ?

Sara

I just realized we met our big booty boi in this episode

OneBigUnion

I'm having the same issue with Google podcasts. Ep. 16 won't play. All the others play. I am listening on YouTube now, but wanted to let you know that something is still funky with Google podcasts.

Just_another_queer

Loved such a fun time between everyone but feel like we will pay for it next episode with suvi and ame fighting starting up again

Erik Parsons

I don't know what's up but the episode won't play in Google podcasts on Android. Everything else works great. But I can't listen to this episode 😭

Kevin Turner

Taylor absolutely ON ONE with the music for this episode 👏🔥🔥🔥

FusRohNahSon

I cant believe Ame said "whys it smell like badussy in here" at suvis apartment

Jonah Loeb

They're having an issue with their transcription process, which is holding up the first few episodes of the arc, but they think it'll be fixed soon.

Zander Jenkins

i like to imagine the citadel like the Bass Pro Shop pyramid

Michael Link

Are y'all no longer doing transcripts?

Worlds Beyond Number

"just"?

Brandon

Wait so... the Citadel is just a giant Paternoster Elevator 😆

Jack Jones

Really enjoyed experiencing they majesty of the citadel this ep gang!! Not going to lie that interaction with the living spell really confounded me, I feel like I would have been one of those washout first years can they feel pain, sadness, fear? what if one wanted to leave? would they even be allowed? Very much the case of do spells dream of magical sheep!

Pip Tarou

FINNLEY!

Pip Tarou

We need a map, and we need artwork. My art skill is alright, but not translating architecture into art Q_Q

thaesimir

He's gonna deserve every single one

thaesimir

I'm blown away. I literally had to stop working and just listen

thaesimir

Taylor, the music is phenomenal! Holy crap, dude

Worlds Beyond Number

Yes I got to design the Citadel public transportation kiosk UI for this episode!! A super small irrelevant detail but oooh I loved making it. It's sampled glass "tings" with marimba I think, and It's in the same key as the major Citadel themes. So glad you noticed. -t

Finn

Oh wait (on my second listen already) - Is Haverward on the actual ground at the bottom of the Citadel, and there are 24 other courts floating above it? I thought Haverward was one of the 24 during first listen

Jules Vance

literally

Finn

I was eating dinner during the food scenes and still ended up hungry 🤤

Finn

Ahhh I have the same unsettled feeling about Steel! I can’t get settled with her character and it feels like a very Brennan thing to have a long con character you thought you could trust

Jules Vance

Taylor, that night market theme?? OK Gustav Holst !!!

Finn

BIG SAME

Kate Wilcox

I am only 30 seconds into this episode but when the opening theme didn't end with that happy lil "daaa-da!" and go into Brennan's opening narration but instead bled into that grand swirling orchestral movement- whoa. Because Im so familiar with the theme, I was expecting ine thing and was blindsided by this powerful piece. Absolute perfection. 🥲

Sasha Gabrielle Landau

Since the Sound and Music bonus ep I've paid a lot more attention to the sound design in this show, and it's been so cool to unlock what feels like a third dimension of appreciation for the show. This episode I listened to it twice; once to pay attention to the story, and the second time to pay attention to how the music told the story. Obviously this episode was an insane sonic painting of the Citadel, but my favorite tiny thing I noticed was when Suvi was calling their ride down to the surface and was looking back at her friends, there was a little warm piano riff playing. When she realized she'd hit the wrong button it dropped down an octave to sound a little wonky, like "uh oh, oops" and then once she corrected it took off again. Such a tiny detail but the way it set the tone was so charming. Almost vaudevillian haha. This episode was so lovely, great job guys.

Micah D Lord

All I have to say is TAYLOR. FREAKIN. MOORE. The music and ambient sound effect work were insane this episode.

Yaseen abdul-malik

What dish would you three. Not your characters get to eat at the citadel?

Moira Goree

Same! It's such a unique idea for a character race

Mirandur

Now I want a fully "fleshed" out new race/species option for character creation: Living spell.

Noah

I really hope y'all went out to eat after recording this ep

Christopher Wohlgemutg

Is the Baker Calum a play on Calroy from Crown of Candy

Worlds Beyond Number

Ah yes, the vocals didn't export there. Thats been fixed and you can re-download to get the fixed file, though it's just a flashback to the info that was discussed in ep15, So you didn't miss anything new, sorry bout dat! -t

Thermovore

As someone who has perfect hearing and is listening on noise cancel headphones, I couldn’t understand a word of what was said in the flashback moment around 44 minutes. I think the vocal effects were too strong. Otherwise amazing episode so far though!

Abigail Rickabaugh

This episode made me accept that one day Taylor will be stolen from us to become an award winning film composer

Lilith Evenstar

The combination of Brennan's words and Taylor's music is indecribably perfect. Also, I cannot begin to fathom why but I am firmly convinced that Steel killed Suvi's parents.

lunarsummer

TW: food, disordered eating I struggle with disordered eating (the starving kind), and descriptions of good food helps me actually feel hunger signals and get excited to eat, so high key thanks for an episode that helps save my life 😭❤️❤️❤️ Shoutout to anyone who's got the opposite issue though, I hope you're safe and taking care!

lunarsummer

The scream I scrumpt when the sound design made gallothopters fly past me!!! Me: "WHAT?!? *audible gasp of delight* WHAT?!?!?"

bitterbaldguy

The Strongest Man in Toma would ABSOLUTELY start a Hash House Kennel at the Citadel (it's a drinking club with a running problem)

melanee

Sound mixing at the beginning gave me straight up CHILLS. Like mouth AGAPE 👏 👏 👏

mguin

Just a layered bouquet every time, a croissant filled with narrative treats

Mickie Pietsch

So much joy!

Leo Burn'd

I really tried to take my time, listening in chunks... But now it's gone and it's only Wednesday! :')

PhatChance

Losario is literally just Tom Hardy in Bronson: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT--_7oamil0zGJmazzrqhkM2atUB6OETi8XAc42Vir-_9DBEM&s

Cressida Ford

Does Taylor know he’s operating in like… the John Williams, Alexandre Desplat tier of scoring? Does he know? I need him to know!

Bryn

This episode brought me so much joy. Thank you 🤍

Sune T. Sørensen

My immediate thought: On Parks & Rec, Aziz Ansari's character is called Tom Haverford. Lou is a comedy guy, maybe it's from there?

Salvatore Testa

I was thinking that this whole episode!

Ren Challacombe

As I wheelchair user I will be stealing “it’s not a walk of shame because I’m not walking and I feel no shame” Also oh my god the intro music KILLED ME fucking hell Taylor is the real wizard on the podcast

Stephen

I'll always love when the intro has a cool transition

Hex Sharpe

Please let Taylor know that this episode made my ears feel VERY considered, fantastic work

Lauren

This is entirely too tangential to be a spoiler: How does Lou Wilson know the word "Haverford", which he misspeaks instead of "Haverward" (sp?)? Bc that's my tiny tiny liberal arts alma mater that only Quakers have heard of.

Salvatore Testa

I'm going to assume all episodes will be this fun and cheerful henceforth.

Christie Joesbury

I agree we should use silent image to make positive or scary motivation for running. Running is not fun by itself.

Christie Joesbury

When is Suvi's court Marshall because that seems really important and ominous for such a fun episode.

Christie Joesbury

I don't know why but "How does Fox know how to gamble?" "Well... We've gambled before" is such a funny Lou improv moment 😂. I played out the scenario in my head and I need more gambling adventures with Fox.

Jennifer Sieben

The environmental sound effects both on the voices and just the ambient sounds were so good here!! Really brought out the cool worldbuilding I'm falling in love with.

annemjw

The sound design this episode was just astonishing, you’ve outdone yourself Taylor! Between that and Brennan’s ability to live through location descriptions, the team adding to and picking up on cues - I want to visit the citadel so badly!

Cameron Kennedy

Missing that last note of the opening into that citedel theme was absolutely astounding Taylor you're godly

Joy Dertinger

Oh my goodness same here—that was so incredible, that hanging on, suspenseful, rising tension….SO GOOD

superphoton

I think Silence is the person suvi is apprentice to? The archmage who we briefly saw in a really early episode

Joy Dertinger

Oh my GOD YOU READ MY MIND! SPECIFIC TERMS IN THE CITADEL?! COME ON, YOU HAVE TO GIVE US A LEXICON NOW!!!! Also I listened to this on my way to my gender clinic and man oh man it was just what I needed. Brought me to a whole other world and just…absolutely and incandescently beautiful.

Heliks

Did we also miss Suvie pivoting from the name Sky to Silence?

Lojaan

Suvi returning be like "introducing the strongest man in Silbury and the coma from Toma!"

Kurt Anderson

Changing the primary motif in the opening took me for a ride. Thank you so much for playing with my musical expectations, this is the best show I've heard or seen to in a long time. The world building is so organic, and the characters feel so lifelike. Thank you for your work everyone!

Raine

Some real never going to die energy coming from the Citadel. Loving the ride but I know the shoe drop is going to be nasty.

Heliks

Trivia for Brennan if he finds his way here sometime, but in describing the semi-transparent baker, that ability to see the outer rim while it gets more transparent toward the center of mass is called the Fresnel effect, named after a dude who made lenses for giant lighthouse lights!

Douglas Coonfield

Please! I’ve been wanting Ame’s recipe for juk since the children’s adventure!

Douglas Coonfield

Absolute master class of a world building session. I’m blown away.

Sam Rothrock

Let's fucking gooooo

Peppermint Fox (Alysia)

Now I’m hungry. WBN cookbook when?!

Michael Munene

The sound design on this episode is nuts! The spacial echos for the illegal pit fighting space had me freaking out. Taylor!! You acoustic madman!!!

Cody Hasselbring

Everything is so good and nothing bad will ever happen to these sweeties again!!! On God!!!

LSky670

That clam dish sounds incredible

LSky670

That would be incredible

Carrie Mook Bridgman

With a purple bottle and shot glasses on it.

Beignet Gesserit

Don’t give the fox a magical eating disorder

Koi Boi Tracy

Steel really went “Your parrents were superspies”

Brandon Carbaugh

I feel like you'd have to be really into absinthe and greco-roman wrestling.

Brandon Carbaugh

I've watched enough Brennan Lee Mulligan campaigns to know we're approximately 8 episodes from Mr. Callum stepping out of the shadows during a tense showdown like "You know what else weighs less than five pounds?" and then raising a gun.

Colin Carlton

YES

Colin Carlton

“Wizards stay caffeinated all day” needs to be on a tshirt.

Alena Rose Solenne

I just listen to them 3 times in a row. You have great restraint

Alena Rose Solenne

I can't wait to finish work to listen to this. So excited!

Magali Bosmans

Not me being like 'say you want to talk robot ethics, brennan' during the whole Mr Callum moment Anyway can't wait to see if they'll explore some seedy magic cyberpunk bits of the citadel too

Issy (the Wizard Scramble)

The fade in to soundtrack from intro track was unreal

Jules Vance

I have not finished this episode because I ration them when they come out so I can consume them twenty minutes at a time for a concentrated burst of seratonin when I’m having a bad day. It wouldn’t do to squander such a prescious resource.

Ron Ron

What tier do I have be on to make Losario my husband or be part of his polycule

crawdaddy

Please give us a shirt with “this is why we run”

Worlds Beyond Number

If we can encourage everyone to watch Bronson, then we have done the work of The Lord. -t

LizzieExcellent

Damn Taylor that opening . I am in awe regularly by your talent you add so much to each episode and it is beyond my ability to express.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Would be difficult since everything is always moving.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I am so glad that with a long-form story, we have time for catching up and lovely nights out together. Enjoying the calm before the next storm.

johanna

Man I wish I could draw so I could the the Citadel into visuals.

Space-Weather

This episode has made me SO HUNGRY

Worlds Beyond Number

The public episodes are hosted publicly, not on patreon, check out the instruction guide, pinned as our top post for more info on how to listen, or just click one of the top three links in the post above.

Conor Steinke

I can't listen it on the patreon app, no audio file in the post - is that a me problem or a patreon problem?

Clarice Swingler

Just want to say the guy in charge of the underground fit pit, brennan pretty much described Tom Hardy in Bronson.

Viola Helmers

Yeah, same!!!

gazzafizza

The music cue at the beginning had me exclaiming "TAYLOR!!!" out loud in my car

Bee Barton-Biegelsen

HOW do the episodes KEEP GETTING BETTER?!

niv fecher

This is everything that I've ever hoped for and wanted and I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect these people🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I am a broken husk of a human

Natasha Hedeker

I’m not crying you’re crying 😭💜

Eric Osborn

Every time anyone says "it's a..." my heart begs for them to finish with "winner baby".

Fraser Borland

Hey Taylor that bakery piece is beautiful, thank you

Worlds Beyond Number

Actually I think I might…pick it up, pick it up! [launches into ska cover of Rain Road]

peace k.

TAYLOR DROP THE CITADEL SOUNDTRACK

William Krise

yo nice work on the music with this one Taylor, got some FF12 lowtown vibes from the jaunty town music

William Krise

oh my god I love Mr. Callum he is like my favorite thing ever holy shit (and I'm definitely going to take the concept of living spells for my world in some capacity thank you Mr. Brennan Lee Mulligan)

Nyctef

This episode was SO much fun and made me SO hungry! And I want to appreciate how nice it was to see Ame enjoy the citadel! I feel like it would have been super easy to go "as a witch I have to dislike the wizard place" (at least, that's the way I assumed it would go) but this was so much more fun

A Kid From Kansas

RIGHT OFF THE BAT TAYLOR ALREADY WHAT THE HELL MAN

Jaron Williams

In the first 30 seconds taylor has already outdone himself

Shreyas Joshi

This episode had such good music and world building. And damn you Brennan for making me hungry before bed

The Wizard Spite

Oh thank god! Now I can continue my regularly scheduled sobbing on my morning commute

SparkAlli

I wondered this too! I figured out it’s a roughy summary of choice phasers from the convo Ame has with Grandmother Wren in episode 15, around 1:10:00. My best guess at each bit is:

Aesthetic Pest

OHKAY THE NEW INTRO THO?!??

Evan Ackley

43:40 Brennan is super echo-y and not able to be heard 👀👀

ISAWziti

Right!?! That lingering note that remains and continues to leave the intro music hanging!! The dutch angle of musical discomfort 👀

Erin Morehouse

At 43:52 I can’t make out what Brennan is saying in the flash back, it lasts about 40 seconds but i don’t want to miss even one word of this story 😊

Liam Mitchell

So nice to wake up to this!!

Simon Mills

Taylor, my man, I got huge Final Fantasy 9 vibes from the music this episode. Fantastic work. Incredibly evocative.

Simon Mills

I straight up thought that Losario was about to burst into song ala Gaston. If there was a musical episode, I may actually die.

Erik Germani

Lou's ready to write the Zagat guide to Umora, he was making those eateries pop

Inauspicious

How could you do this Do you have any idea how many fanarts of that challenge clam soup I'm gonna have to see when I'm scrolling through my medias in the morning? I am so upset I can't go somewhere and order this now
