Hey, it's Brian Postain, nerd poker. We're calling it The Fog Campaign. My friends are here, Sarah, Chris, Blaine, Ken, Engineer Sam Sam and of course our kick-ass DM Dan Telfer. Welcome to Nerd Poker. Hey everybody it's Prime the Sane. You're listening to Nerd Poker. It's a whole new campaign. We're calling it the fog campaign for now. Blaine pitched a bunch of funny ones but I'm not in the mood to pick one yet.

So there was a... Play Misty for me is pretty good. That was one that you said right? Or Slay Misty for me. That's pretty good. I like Sleigh Misty for me. Good bits. It's once you know that the fog, there's fog there. That being the best and also the fog can be murdery. That's why sleigh is replacing. Anyway, I'm already starting with gags in the high season.

You should welcome all the new listeners. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We're starting the adventure again. So email your grandparents so they can get on board with a new narrative. My friends are here. It's a big part of a nerd poker is me, Ryan Pesane, playing Dungeons and Dragons with my pals. We've called it nerd poker. We called it nerd poker before it was a show.

Just going back on that, if you are a new listener and some of these guys I played with, I don't even want to figure out exactly what what year. Yes. When did a when did Halo come out? Yeah, something like that. Was it are we spanning two centuries? I think we might be 30 years. I think it's supposed to be. Wow. They'll come out or yeah, something like that. Are we spanning two centuries? I think we might be 30 years.

I think it's supposed to be. Wow. Maybe 32 because didn't we start playing like in 2002 or no? I don't remember. That was 30 years ago. No, it was 90s. I think it was 90s. Even I don't know. 90s.

I was doing the wrong math. Okay. I think it's a hundred years ago. Right. Okay. I think it's a hundred years ago. Right. Yeah. Well, I remember when we tripped and fell into that weird frozen room. Right. Yeah.

I don't think it's quite 30 actually, but anyway, long time. Can we fucking get rid of all this? No. Okay. We're all here. Chris is here. Hello. Ken's here. Yes, I am. Bl're all here. Chris is here. Hello. Ken's here.

Yes, I am. Blaine's here. Hey, hi. And our dungeon master, Dan, is here. Why, hello. And Sam is here. Hello, sweet children. And our friend Sarah decided, well, how would you put it?

She's not going to be able to be in this campaign, but she did say she's going to try to finish out the Curse of Strahd bonus episodes on Patreon. So exactly. Yeah, that's just what she has bandwidth wise. We of course are still playing with her and still she still loves playing. Just yeah, she couldn't get to the house on a regular basis. And you know, she's missed a few and so it made sense to me. And so we're all going to die in a couple of days.

Yeah, because Sarah took all the notes. She knew what she was doing. We did. She's the only one who really knew how to play Dungeons and Dragons outside of Dan. I mean, I like Chris. I like poker. Chris is pretty good. Blayton remembers a bunch of rules I don't, so that's nice.

Well, I know first a robot cannot harm a human being or through an action allow a human being to come to harm. Then it gets a little foggy, which is great for a fog campaign. Now we have a special guest. I wanted to spoil listeners and all of you adventurers by having somebody come in and do something extra fun. So our cast is going to meet her character.

We're gonna have her do a guest NPC for this first episode, but we should introduce her as a human being, very funny comedian, a good friend of mine. She has a new special on Don't Tell Comedy, Jenny Zagrino, everybody. Hi. Hi. Can you guys hear me?

Oh, Fox. So we're gonna go ahead and dive right in. Our adventurers all received a letter that went with a deal they had made all of you have been hired as mercenaries, but also more for your skill because there is a small seaside town called Dellsmouth along the coast where all of you have been told there is great treasure in a city that has a cursed fog hanging low over it an impenetrable cursed fog and a thief who thought you might be able to help him properly plunder Del's myth, sent word and a letter along with a prepayment in order to make this worth your while. I would have one of you like to read this,

would you let me to do it in a character voice? Should I do that? Chris is nodding because I think normally I make him do the dramatic reading. Oh, that's your character. Sure, well, yes. And this character is somebody, I don't think we've released it yet. Right. The YouTube thing we did, the special at TITMAS.

You know, that's coming out during Thanksgiving. So this is an NPC I played briefly on that as well. Oh, OK. The letter goes a little something like this. Give me a ticket for an airplane. You got a time to make a fast train. I'm going home. I'm going home.

Baby, just roll me a letter. What was that sound? Are you able to bring your mic around to that side? I know you have one. Not easily. Do you need me to do that again, Sam? Yes, I do. Give not easily, but I needed to do that again. Sam. Yes, I do. Give me a digger for airplane.

It got down to do a fair stream. No, he didn't go. I'm a go home. I'll leave me. Roeville. Blaine, did you speak that up? It doesn't say that anyway. I read it on a box top when I was eating my frosted flakes of corn. when I was eating my frosted flakes of corn. You know, not only am I going to get my Adderall dosage upped,

but I'm going to play this episode for my psychologist. There's a really funny typo in here. I don't know if you'll see. There's several typos. There's a funny one. And I want to, you know what? Yeah? It's funny.

Ken, how many typos did you find? I just wonder. I know this is funny. Okay. Well, typos did you find? I just wonder. I know this is funny. Okay. Well, why don't you just go ahead and say ding, ding, ding when you think I'm reading a typo out loud. Okay. But you have to read it as it's written.

It is. Ken, why do you like it? It's funny. I like funny things. Like finding my mistakes. What are you, Reddit? All right. I like funny things. Like finding my mistakes. What are you, Reddit? All right.

Ahem. I know how I gotta brace myself for my told you. Are you about to read a letter? All right, cool, God. Oh, what idiots we are. Ahem. Dearest mercenary, hail and well met. Thank you for agreeing to travel with such haste.

Vast artifacts lie ahead, treasures untold, but I cannot plunder it alone. I find myself in Delsmyth, a once quaint seaside town now, quite rank and disgusting. One year ago, a horrible cursed fog rolled in from the sea and coated all of Delsmyth and its people in a soupy haze. And horror lies within this haze. It appears to control the minds of some folk, bringing them to murder wantonly, seemingly random, deeply violent,

and each killer under some kind of thrall. They awaken soaked in blood and viscera, unsure as to why they have committed the crime. Quite unpleasant. The fog is everywhere, nigh impenetrable, and very damned eerie. It never leaves. The source of said fog seems to be

some sort of fissure in the sea. Local legends say the fissure is reachable through elaborate caves. Climbing up and down cliffs is not my forte. Strange creatures also emerge from the sea. They pose, not post, a danger. That's not the one. Oh, God, I know there's several.

That wasn't funny. They, oh, I hate that voice you're doing. Me too. They pose a danger I cannot quell alone. Yet I know of several treasures, quite glorious that the beasts have purloined, then vanished into the caves you begin to see the benefit of this adventure

here it comes hahahaha hahahaha oh my god alright now what I wanted to say now the Steven Root voice really saved me what I wanted to say was I am but a thief but what did I write Ken?

I am a butt thief. But what did I write, Ken? I am a butt thief. Oh my god. I am a butt thief. You are a moron. Goodnight everybody. I am a butt thief is what I wrote. At least there's only one T. Anyway, a renowned and wildly ambitious thief I am, but a mere pair of spindly hands.

The tasks ahead require brute force. I am small, as well as the silver tongue. My known tongue is stiff, though serviceable. And if I am lucky, the keenest of eyes, I have but one, having lost an eye in a deadly shopping accident. Enclosed is an advance of 10 gold, which I have sent to you and three other mercenaries. Spend it as you see fit in town.

There are valuable supplies here. I even hear whispers of secret entrances to the caves, mind control protection, and other things that might help us in those dark caves beneath the waves. Perhaps together, we can rid Del's Myth of its loot, and if you like, save its population from this troublesome fog curse.

Yours in treasure and abundance, Thelonious Pepperstep, AKA Lil Peepers. Nice. So Lil Peepers sent you this letter, and we are now going to see who arrives in Del's Myth first. Could everyone please roll a 100 sighted die? Thirty seven. Twenty nine.

Sixty five. Oh, can't so much. Almost nice. Brian, what'd you got? Eighty four. Oh, shit. We say thirty seven again. Thirty seven again. Thank you. Do we go through them all again?

No, no, I just. Is my cool. Let me make it as weird as possible. Thirty seven. Thirty seven again. Thank you. Do we have to go through them all again? No, no, I just. Cool. Let me make it as weird as possible. Thirty seven. Thirty seven. Thirty seven. All right. Thirty seven. I actually rolled a hundred, you idiots. You didn't. A real 100 sided die. Show Jenny what that looks like, Brian. It's insane. Can you see it?

It's a hundred sides. It looks like a golf ball with math on it. All right, so- I don't believe it. Fake news, don't believe it. Hey, wait a minute. I'll tell you why. First of all, Brian, why don't you tell us your character's name and what they look like?

Are you meeting me or do you want me to tell you? This is for listeners. You're about to, you're all gonna meet the NPC played by Jenny one at a time. Well, my character's name is Joffrey Spicoli. He's a high elf. Yeah, we. Yeah. And he's might be a little bit of a roguie thief or a thiefy rogue. He might be. Yeah, he is.

Oh, OK. Full on. What does he kind of look like, Brian? Like my son. I like you as a young boy. Blanky and light skinskinned and blonde and... Screams about Fortnum. Not as tall or as fat as me and or as old. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Well, Joffrey, you approach the town of Del Smith by coming in from a road to the west. As you exit the forest, you notice there are large stone turrets on either side of what used to be a gate that has since fallen apart. No one actually wants to go in this gate because a thick almost black fog. There are no guards anymore. No there's no guards but there is a thick almost black fog that hangs over the entire city so you cannot... town... it's a

it's a town. You cannot really see very far into it. Lil Peepers, your contact here in Del Smith, told you that you should meet up at a fortune teller shop near the front gate. You begin to wade your way through the fog looking for this fortune teller shop, which begins to appear in some dim light. Jenny, what what does Brian's character Joffrey Spicoli, see as he approaches the fortune teller shop?

Oh, you see a wooden door, right? And a brick wall. And there's a little sign outside that says, fortune telling inside. And then it has a poem on it. A poem, not a poem, but a poem. A poem. Can you improvise a poem now for us?

Am I supposed to wait for anybody or should I just head in? Will you come in and get your fortune read? And if you don't, you may be dead. Oh, that was pretty good. That's pretty good for a poem that I pimped you into doing. More of a riddle. It's more of like a,

as a stanza, it's kind of just like an idea just tossing it around. I like it. Oh, carved beneath a plong. Is dirt vision helping fog? It won't in this magical fog that I specifically made so you can't ask me that question. I'm a dick.

Wait a minute, but he did ask the question. Well, she did ask, I know, I know. I think you made your phone wrong. I thought it'd be funny if I was snarky. Hey listeners, I made a face that I make every once in a while. Yeah. Joffrey, you opened the wooden door and you are now inside the fortune teller shop

where you and the other mercenaries are eventually going to meet up with Lil Peepers. Jenny, what is your fortune teller shop where you and the other mercenaries are eventually going to meet up with little peepers. Jenny, what is your fortune teller's name? Oh, well, it is pronounced. It is spelled. It is spelled like one would spell Glendale. It is pronounced Glendale. My name is Glendale. The Fortunate Teller, Glendale. That's amazing. All right, so Glendale, you were giving money ahead of time.

I put my tea down because I was drinking it, a little bit of sleepy time tea. It's a little, you know, you can have it all day. And I thought to myself, oh, I've been paid to tell some tarot fortunes for the for this traveler. Elf guy. Oh, hello, fortunate teller. Hmm. Well, welcome. She's talking to you. Thank you. That's a man.

Welcome. She's talking to you. Thank you. We love putting Brian on the spotting character. Would you like your fortune told? Am I supposed to? Yeah, it's paid for. OK, sure. Yes, please. It's free. It's a free fortune telling.

Now, Jenny knows how to do tarot in real life, which is another reason I thought of her for this. So thank you, Jenny. Oh, we're going to we're going to know what's going on in your in your future. What was your character's name? Joffrey Joffrey Spicoli. Joffrey Spicoli. Is it Italian, Jopri?

This year. Yeah. All right, Jopri, we're going to pull two cards for you to see where you are currently and where your future may take you. Perhaps if we're confused, you can ask for a clarifier. So your first card is the magician. This is a card that tells us currently where you are in your life is that you have all the powers that you need at your fingertips.

You are the master of your reality. You can do whatever you need to. You know all of the all of the spells. You have the power of all the suits to help you. But what will you do with it? So that's currently where you are now in your life. That's pretty damn all right. Very cool. The only thing holding you back would be yourself or this future card, which is the chariot. Now the chariot card for you as your future could mean a few different things.

It could mean that you are, will be barreling down on your next adventure with pure confidence. It could also mean that if you don't be careful and hold the reins, your chariot will be knocked off and you will find sudden death. Wow. Would you like a clarifier? No, that seems pretty clear. That's the one anyways.

Yeah, I like it. Oh, last one. Last card is the Divine Feminine Beware. Aware of a woman. That's it. That's it. Interesting. That's just general in general.

Everyone should. But Jeffrey, thank you so much for joining me and my fortune telling povel. I like what you did. So now that you're done, you'll take a seat and wait while the rest of the mercenaries arrive. these uh, arrive. Other adventurers. Ken, your character. Are your friends coming to join you? Yeah, I don't know these dudes yet, but uh, I was told to be here.

I was here first because it's kind of how I roll. Is that you, you roll? I don't know what that means. I roll a good one or I roll a thin one, whatever you want. Get out of my shop. That's how you roll right on. Getting the cut of you up in there. So Ken, you're caring. You roll right out, right out, right out. So Ken, you're care. I just watched days to get faced with real studio days ago. I just watched Deadpool and Wolverine again and Matthew McConaughey,

Deadpool that is hidden. And that movie is so good. All right, Ken, you're McConaughey. He's a Deadpool. He's the cowboy Deadpool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's his actual voice. Oh, shit.

Blake Lively is the one. And Brian, did you know that? Well, you know, the gray one is Jerry and I. Yeah, we we invented some great one. I think is Nick Cage, the voice. Oh, no, no, that's Nick. Kate is one of them. Oh, OK. I don't know. That's probably somebody else.

But yeah, the Zen pool is from our run of Deadpool. So awesome. That's fantastic. Yes, stoked to see that. Alrighty. Ken, you approach the once closed gates that are now falling into disrepair or rotting with humidity from the sea. You wade your way through the disgusting

fog that you can't see through even if you have dark vision but before we get into me nagging you about dark vision tell us who your character is I am like I am Shalab a tiefling sorcerer detective and I am red-skinned with horns like most tieflings. Dark hair, very devilish. Don't like the grossness of this location though. Oh. Did you say you were a tiefling? Yes, sir, I'm sorry.

Yeah. Nice. Yes, sir. And you open the door to the shop and see a human who appears to be available for telling fortunes. And one of them is prepaid for you, Glendale. Oh, welcome, Shalub. Hello, Glendale.

Sorry, I was busy swiping on Tinder, but I'm here to... I'm here to... I'm here to read your fortune. You look weary. Yeah, I've been walking a bit. I hear I can get free tarot readings here. You can indeed. I love it. It's already paid for. And I'm here to tell you your fortunes.

We'll start off with the card that'll tell us where you are currently on your journey, what your outcome might be. And if you wish, we can pull a clarifier. So let's go for where you are now on your journey. Oh, a reversal. Draw four. You have the page of wands in the reverse, which means your energy is blocked. The page of wands in the reverse, it tells us that there was a new journey is starting, but it's, it's a little off, right? So, wands are about passions.

We're getting, we want the things that we want. We're feeling passionate. We have a new idea. We wanna play, we wanna experiment, we wanna try new things. That's what the page of wands tells us when it's in the upright. In the reverse, that energy is blocked.

Are you letting yourself currently play and be excited and try new things, Shalub. Or you're blocked. I mean, I don't like the nature of this town so far. It's kind of moldy and gross. Well, too bad. I mean, that might be your future is the page of Pentacles. how strange for you to get two pages all at once right your future card in the page of Pinnacles tells me that you are on a journey of discovery of education of learning

something new however do you see the goat However, do you see the goat? Oh, no. What? Whatever. I do. You see there's a, the page is wearing the head of a goat. Looks a bit like me.

It's standing underneath the moon. The goat we all know is a symbol of the evil. So. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. My warning to you as the future is that through your journeys of learning and realizing and

education and and and trying new things because you're going to break that energy eventually is you must be aware you must be alert that the goat head can get you at any moment Let's clarify it, please What happened you have the night of cups as your clarifier which this guy loves To to get down. You know what I mean? Yeah to get down, you know what I mean? Yeah. I had the night at Cubs in New Orleans. This dude is romantic. He's like, I think on this journey,

you've got some romance in your future. All right. Through the goat. I think I'm gonna have sex with this goat, honestly. I know. I know. Maybe the goat's gonna let you eat its can. I was sent by the black thief.

Make a note, a can will be set by fire. I have plenty of you. Blame you're fired like Sarah. Wow. Is it my MAGA hat? Well, thank you so much for that strange and wonderful experience. Taking notes on all of this.

Oh, I I was talking I was just talking about goat fucking. OK. That's one fucking blame. Blaine, your character now approaches town, waves its way through the fog. What do they look like? Who are they? My name is Shyam Spade. I'm a private investigator. I'm a tabaxi, so I look like a giant cat, trench coat.

Yeah, they're they're black and empty. Just like I'll give you something else that's empty anyway. Thank you. They're black and empty, just like, I'll give you something else that's empty. Anyway, who's next?

Oh, argh. I think I've walked into the wrong room. That's the right one. So you guys would see, he looks mainly human, but he does have sort of pointy, just not nearly elfin as let's say, spicoli, and he's got like a purple tint to his hair. So there's something kind of vaguely fae about him.

But other than that, he seems sort of like a normal guy. He has a pan flute in his hand and a lute strapped to his back. And I'm just so happy to be here. Glendale, my name is Twoden, and I understand I have a free reading with you. Your name is Twoden? Twoden, yes, nice to meet you.

Oh, what a name. All right, nice to meet you as well, wooden. No, I understand this has already been paid for. It's already been paid for. You don't need to worry. Just sit your pretty little pointy-eared butt down and we're gonna have a little reading for you. Is there a way to, what if I just took the money

and we skipped over? No, it, mine now. Wow. All right. I still have to use my fortune telling powers. Oh. For this. I've already used them.

I've already done this. You have the second side. I can't back. Oh yeah, no, I know. I know what's gonna happen to all of you and it's rough. So let's just go with this. I'm telling. That's not good.

Are you ready? Yes ma'am. To Wolden? To Wolden? I don't know why it's hard. I'm telling you. That's not good. Are you ready? Yes ma'am. To Wodan? To Wodan? I don't know why it's hard. To Wodan. To Wodan, you ready? To a very common name.

Yeah, say yours again. Glendale. God. Ooh. Satiating. Have you met my sister, Galleria? All right. I had that one, be cleared up. Alright, so for you dear sir,

your presence is the Knight of Pentacles but, oh there I go again, disappeared into the fog. It's in the reverse. Now the Night of Pentacles is about slow, steady, methodical work. It's about, you know, we're getting to our destination, but it's taking us time, and we're going through all the details. This, to me, tells me right now, you are completely halted in your journey.

You're completely stuck. You're sitting in a chair. You have nowhere to go. You need to go back to the drawing board on what your life choices are. Oh gosh, the whole thing. All of it is from day one since you were born. Crawl back in that womb. All right. Okay. Now your future card. I like this one for you. It's the nine of cups.

More cups. Now the nine of the nine of cups is called the wish card in the tarot deck. It is a card of all of your dreams coming true. Everything you could possibly desire is coming true in the future but the warning of this card is be careful what you wish for. Like don't wish to fuck a goat. Now that's a weird thing to say to me for the first time. It's just, I just, I'm gonna fuck a goat.

So do you work here as well? I was sent here. Oh, I just- Did you get the letter? I did get a letter. Did you get a letter too? I did get a letter too. How are you? I'm Twed.

What's your name? Nice to meet you. Shlub. Hi. Shlub. Hi, Shlub. Sorry, ma'am. Oh, last, the last card that I'm gonna use to clarify. Yours is the King of Wands. Well, that's good, right? I love it.

We'll see, it's a card of arrogance. It's a card of confidence, but can sometimes go, go in the negative direction so yes get to the things you want go for what you wish for but be careful of your arrogance be careful man or old man whatever you are I don't know what you are be careful does the oh does your against me he's the greatest of all time? Cause that could be a problem. You know, I can't tell that future. That's inside his own heart.

Got it. But they're your futures. Thank you. Please. Thanks. Get out of my shop. Oh my God. I'm so scared.

As you're about to be chased out of the shop. Can we ask any, if she knows anything about the town? You can. Yeah, sure. Do you know anything about the, it's obviously a curse. Do you know anything about the town's curse? Oh, well, it's been here since I've been here. That thick fog just kind of sticks to your face and it's real gross. And I don't like it.

Is there any warnings about the fog? Is there anything we should look out for? The fog, maybe like, you know, stuff on the road. You don't want to trip and fall. That's like a kind of a bummer. Oh, so before like really watch our stepping or foot. It's full of pirate ghosts. Truly, you have to watch your footing. All right.

Is there any buddy that you can guide us to that can help us? Yeah, we just gotta let, we got a note saying to come to you. We're not sure where to go next. Can help us with the fog and it's possible mind control. Well, the fog, it will. Dude.

It will get to you. I forgot to do it in character. It gets into your bones, the best way to say that. The fog really gets to you. But it's been here for a while, and unfortunately it shows no sign of leaving. If only someone could help us have that happen,

like maybe you should leave. You can't just leave. Okay, well, thanks. Now you were told to wait here for your contact, who would do a lot of explaining about where to go next. So do not despair. Are you kicking this out? It does sound like you're being kicked out though.

Do you mind if we hang out out front like a doo-wop group and just kind of... Is there a flame in garbage can out there? That's fine. And you are all chased out of Glendale's Galleria. Do you guys still smell like cologne? Thank you, Jenny, for doing that. That was awesome. Yeah, thank you, Jenny.

Thank you. You're welcome. You're welcome. I'm free for actual realtor-free things. That will be just as accurate. That's right. You actually do that for people. It's great.

I do it for fun. It's fun. I like it. Do you have any? Thank you so much. Yeah. Before we bid you adieu and get to the weird character I have to bother everybody with, they're going to get creeped out by him, I'm pretty sure. Is that Mr. Peepers? It is Little Peepers. It's Little Peepers. I told Jenny about Little Peepers. I think Jenny's seen pictures of Little Peepers.

Sorry, Jenny. I've seen Little Peepers. Sure. With the dating scene in New York City. Who knows? But Jenny, do you have any shows you want to plug coming up? This will go up next Monday. If you're in the Seattle area, I'll be at the comedy bar

January 3rd and 4th. And I hear really good things about that club. Is that your first time up there? It's my first time at that club. I went to go watch a friend and it was so fun and so awesome. And I'm excited to do it. And local friends have said that that's I'm went to go watch a friend and it was so fun and so awesome. And I'm excited to do it. And local friends have said that that's I'm sorry to interrupt, but they have said that that's like the best new club up there. And I haven't met myself.

But yeah, here, amazing. Have you been? Have you done? No, I haven't. But yeah, I've been going to Seattle forever. And people say that they are really happy with it. Cool. And what else? I love it. It's it's I mean, I love Seattle, and people say that they are really happy with it. Cool. And what else? I love it. It's it's I mean, I love Seattle, so it's great. Seattle people from C.B. And then I'm going to be in

Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Atlanta, Athens, Savannah, Georgia. So I got a whole thing coming up in January, but December's kind of quiet. That happens. Yes. I know. That's all the, everybody says, let's circle back in January. Yeah.

My work's about to stop like second week in December. Yeah. Well, thank you. Yeah. Thanks Jenny. I'm going to, I'm going to let you go. But yeah, I really appreciate you calling in from New York. Bye.

Thank you Jenny. That was great. Have a good night everybody. Break your legs, thank you. Break them hard. Thank you. Break your own damn legs. Yeah.

Oh god. Yeah, love you Jenny. All right. As you are all forced to stand outside like a doo-wop group because the fortune teller chased you out, which I didn't tell her to do. I enjoyed that she just got sick of all your bullshit. You eventually see a tiny figure approach about the size of a halfling, four feet tall. You see a tiny elephant person. Who what?

A Loxodon wearing a very flamboyant hat with a big feather in it, a dashing shoulder cape. I remember that guy. And an eye patch over one of his eyes. He points at all of you with one of his fingers and in his other hand, twirling a dagger and says, wow, oh, Hale and what bet? Hey. Hi. Hello.

Hi there. I see you've all made it, but you're standing outside. Did you not go in and get your fortune? We did. We did and she wanted us to leave. So I started to roll one, man. Do you want to end this shit? Sure, why not. Jazz cigarettes?

Yeah, man. Jazz rock and roll, whatever you like. Okay. Well, that sounds very exciting. I believe this is a sex mission. You have to tell us right now. It seems like this is a sex mission. Where did that come from?

There's a code right over here. No, man. I'm not talking about sex. We're all of your'm not talking about sex. We're all of your talk about sex, maybe fortunes about fucking you. And what they might was for sure. But I do think as dungeon master, most of some three, at least three of you had very horny overtones in your fortunes.

I don't know. Well, we know the goat has horns. She told me that my life is wrong. That's less horny. There was a passionate woman. Two of these guys had some romance coming up. I gotta watch out for the dames. Dames are always trouble.

Meow. I'm shaking a fucking goat. What? Again, sir. It wasn't my idea. You keep bringing it up. Maybe you're supposed to fucking EGOT, like Marina Moreno. I, sir. It wasn't my idea. You keep bringing it up. Maybe you're supposed to fucking Egon like Rita Moreno. Whoa. Rita Moreno. Right. She was something on electric company.

So loop keepers, you have something for us? Well, yes, I have many things for you mostly Intel and we are going to go collect things so that we may go into the caves and hopefully plunder things. I do think that we won't want to stay long. What was this? Oppressive fog and the random murders occurring in town? Have all of you noticed to the ground? All of you noticed to the ground? All of you roll a perception check. 19 plus eight, 27. 27.

27. Now. That's pretty good. Jeez Christ. I did say maybe roll up detectives and everybody was like, let's pretty good. Jeez Christ, Blaine. I did say maybe roll up detectives and everybody was like, let's fucking go. It's 14. Nice, 17.

What'd you get, Ken? 10. Cool, so Blaine, 27. Wait, you have a plus eight, right? I have a plus eight. So if someone eventually, are you a bard, Chris? I am, and a little bit of a sorcerer. Can you cast guidance?

I can. So you have the ability to help Blaine eventually roll a 30 on a perception check. Just keep that in mind. And you guys all said you rolled up really crazy stats too, right? Let's get to that in a second, but first I'll just give- Madden nuts.

Simon Spade, you lift one of your boots and you notice the ground has this thick, dark green slime. There's a reason I'm not there now. Oh, what is that? I'm not gonna like it much. Oh, well I'm very direct. So if you're going to allude to things, you should know. I have the inability to detect subjects.

Uh, yeah, you guys got some pretty crazy stats. So Little Peepers is going to lead you to the inn where you will all be able to see a little more clearly under some dim lantern light. But why don't you tell listeners a little bit more? I think we got an implication of what some of your classes are. Brian, can you tell us a little bit more about your think we got an implication of what some of your classes or Brian, can you tell us a little bit more about your character and how you rolled it up?

So you wanted us to roll level eight where, but man, my numbers were nuts. So because I picked a high elf and added, you know, two to my decks and two to my, or one to my intelligence. So I already had a 16 for my intelligence. So I got a 17 and then my decks is 19 because I had rolled it. I had rolled a 17 at 16.

So sweet. Fucking crazy. So, uh, the strength is 16 and then my lowest is my charisma, but yeah, he's, Uh, the strength is 16 and then my lowest is my charisma, but yeah, he's, uh, gonna be very Elfy. I've never fucked around with, uh, well, I've fucked around with rogues before, but never, uh, like a thief like this guy. Yeah. I'm excited to see what you do with.

What kind of thief when you say he's a. Yeah, what's your subclass? Is it a specific kind? He's I mean. Sleight of hand and pickpocketing is where he's like a street, a street thief, a street criminal. Got it. Cool. But he's been doing it for a long time, so he's doesn't look like a typical. He's he's made his way up the.

You know, chain, the chain. Yeah, as it were, the chain, the chain. Yeah. So does he have more of a Spicoli vibe than like? Yeah, because he was just fucking around with the high elf. I love it. I was having fun with the pun. But then like yeah, cuz he Having fun with the pun. Yeah, so he looks more like stone. Yeah, you know the D&D character Well, he looks more like a stoner than no he's he looks like an elf But he smokes the pipe. Yeah, of course

It's like a, a Tolkien elf. Oh, or a token elf. Does he have one of those like giant ren fair Gandalf pipes? Uh, he does. He is equipped with a pipe. Yes, man. That was one of the things I added to his equipment.

I, I went to the ren fair this year and testing they've these fucking insane, like $200 hand carved, like beautifully polished pipes. Good Lord. I had the best one. I wish a fan would give me one again. You better, you go cats. This is true. Mission. A fan years ago, I think it was in Florida.

They made me, it was based on a Slayer joke I did about how Slayer is so metal that any gay act isn't gay if you yell Slayer during it. It's just this stupid thing. And it was also to make Slayer fans mad because they're so homophobic that they're like, no, Slayer's not gay. That's not what I'm saying. Oh my God. But it was just that you could be blowing a dude, they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no hold it and then that too for Sam. Yep. Suck out of the, out of the, the peener. You say suck out the peener. Yeah. And then the, yeah. And then the both the bulls said, uh, it was hilarious. The bull said Slayer on it. Well, Brian would really like another one of those.

I dropped it in my backyard. I dropped it in my backyard. I dropped it in my backyard and I was so fucking bummed. I was like, oh, no, Stone, you don't drop the pipe. Like did it get lost in the grass? No, just no. It's broken into a million pieces. Oh. Yeah.

Well, Blaine, hard to follow that one up. If you got any Dick Pipe references you want to bring in, I'd love to know more about the numbers and some class, perhaps. Hi, I'm Dick Pipe. Tell us about the deets you one up. But if you got any Dick Pipe references you want to bring in, I'd love to know more about the numbers and some class perhaps. Hi, I'm Dick Pipe. Tell us about the deets you rolled up. I had, I was pretty mid. I had a, I had a high dexterity and a high intelligence because I was, I'm a tabaxi, a rogue, a sage rogue. So I have some magical abilities and and being a rogue, I wanted to, I wanted to have high dexterity and high intelligence. I put those in there. And then between the

being a tabaxi and being level eight, all the other stuff just kind of the ability stores just kind of got, uh, uh, jacked up a little bit. So it's, it's very nice. Uh, and, uh, like I said, I have a couple of, uh, I have some magic abilities, which I love. Uh, I was thinking about making them a cleric because there's a, you know, there's stuff with clerics, uh, that you can use to read minds and locate stuff and you know magical findy stuff but then I just landed on a different name and went in a different direction for a joke. I was gonna be a furcule perot but it was hard to maintain a Peter Ustinov impression more than a couple of lines.

And also have to explain who Peter Ustinov is. And what's your character's name? Siam Spade, which is, you know, I mean, spade and neutered. And then Siam because I have like kind of a, I'm an angel with a dirty face. But yeah, just, yeah, I just like being the, I like the tabaxis. They're very fun. Yeah. Very dexterous and small and quick.

And I have a claws and stuff. So yeah, meow meow meow. Meow meow meow, indeed. Chris, could you tell us a little bit more about the insides of your character? Yes. Open them guts. He is, how dare you. Yeah, a bard.

I've always sort of resisted being a bard. This is the first time I'm going to try and be a bard. Most of his stuff, I really tried to focus on being, Dan had mentioned somebody needs to be a negotiator. So I really focused on that. And so I'm all, I'm like all charisma. Um, and because w because what everybody's been saying, we're at a higher level. I have a really awesome ability that I'm trying to find, uh, it's beyond expertise.

So, oh yeah, here we go. It's silver tongue. T so, oh yeah, here we go. It's silver tongue. When I make a persuasion or deception check uh on a d20 uh anything I roll lower than a 10 becomes a 10 or higher. So rad. Yeah, it's great. That's like a high level like some rogues can do stuff. I got that too. Yeah. Great. Yeah. So I'm so that means with charming people my minimum because I also have a really high bonus, so for charming people, it's, or not charming, but persuading people. I can't magically make them do what I want, but I have a really good bonus for that. Now I can see your full character sheet.

It's got a couple of things that you haven't brought up yet. Tell me. Like your lineage. Do you want to save that as an in-game thing or do you want to tell people a little bit more about what it means by custom lineage? By custom lineage, it's a D&D thing where you can kind of build it. And so one of the things I picked was Fey Touched. So I think at some point when he was a kid, he was kidnapped by a fairy or something like

that. And so that residual... Oh, that's so cool. So like, that's why he has like these slightly pointy ears and the purple shade of his hair is like. But otherwise, I think he's pretty human. But there are things about him when he does his magic. There's like a like a little bit of glow. It's almost as though there's like cinders coming off of him.

It's all stuff to kind of indicate like this fey something happened to him. Every time Chris talks about his player characters, cinders coming off of him it's all stuff to kind of indicate like this fay something happened to him every time Chris talks about his player characters I want to go write a fantasy novel you're so cool Chris thank you and also your last name you want to save that for later oh no his name is tw. Twin tippy knife. Twin tippy knife. Nice. Oh my lord. Ken, yes. I am Shalob, the sorcerer.

Tony Shalob? Tiefling. Well, it's kind of based on Monk. Oh, nice. That's why I'm so squeamish about stuff. I love Monk. A little bit of OCD and, but I use my magic to, you know, I'm a little bit of a sorcerer. I'm a little bit of a sorcerer.

I'm a little bit of a sorcerer. I'm so squeamish about stuff. I love my kind. A little bit of OCD and, but I use my magic to read minds, make myself invisible, lots of detective-y skill stuff. Awesome. Very high charisma as well. So that will come in handy for both of us, I think. I love that. Somebody has to. My strength is on you.

Yeah. And we'll, you know, we're wrapping up right now, but I do want to show you guys in case you didn't get a good look at it, please be careful. This is because we were sponsored by Hero Forge for the aforementioned YouTube thing, Hero Forge. I'm gonna make a new guy. A bunch of NPCs.

I'm gonna figure out if they'll give us some codes again. Yeah, this guy's really cool. So Lil Peepers is a four foot tall Loxodon who are normally like eight feet tall. You can pass him around if you're very careful. But you did have him for the- Yeah, I remember seeing him. He was sort of a supporting character but now he's gonna be- The bonus campaign you guys that- or it's our video. It's, uh, what would you call it? Just a wash up that we did. Yeah. Two episodes.

Yeah. We'd love to do more. Uh, our sponsors, uh, it was Hero Forge helped us, I think. And then also Schecter and guitars and. Titmouse, I think was also a metal producer. Super seven. Metal injection and, and, uh, super seven. Yeah.

We got to use Titmouse's really cool D&D landscapes. Oh, Lord. D&D room. Chris over there was at Tidmouse, who's also a producer on the Parnaski. Yeah, that guy is amazing. Chris is around the Critical Role Amazon show. It's you got to see it's set up like a van and you open this van door and inside is the coolest D&D room. It's like a tart. It's insane. Yeah, it's great. So he mentions it briefly on the bonus

episodes but Lil Peepers is half Loxodon half Halfling. So that is Loxodon and a Halfling I had a child. Bam-a-lam. Ha ha ha. Oh, hey, Dan, I do want to say that I was having some trouble with D&D Beyond. I was very frustrated. And I do want to thank Chris for being a real sherpa and going above and beyond and helping me find my way through

to getting to Baxi again. I was in the race with making you guys a map, which we're going to hand you at the beginning of our next episode. Then I know listeners, we dropped a big bomb on you at the beginning of the episode that Sarah's not here and we're all of course going to miss her. She, I can reiterate, she did not want to make this decision.

I guess she's been thinking about it for a while and Wasn't able to do the video. It's just totally unrelated and then this came about as soon as we finished the campaign as you notice We just wrapped up a mountain campaign and Dan kicked ass on that and it was when we were wrapping up that that she Sent me an email and then let me know that she had made that decision. And so, you know, of course we respect that and hope that she can come back and, you know, join us in a regular campaign when she wants.

But definitely, you know, do as many bonus episodes as she wants. Yeah, she made it clear nothing's written in stone. She's the best. And not thinking about replacing her yet, it might come up organically. We've had other friends of the show that have been here before and could fit into this part. It's how Chris.

How Chris wanted to be part of the show. Sam, this is your shot, man. I just got to learn how to play. Terry. So but thanks for supporting us. And I'm excited to start a new campaign. It's already this was so fun. I'm so glad you guys liked the Tarot thing.

Jenny was amazing. Thanks again. Check out her comedy, please. Bless you. And what do you want? Do you want to plug anything, buddy? Sure. So I will do that in a second as little people, little people is pulling out the map for all of you.

We should transition into Sam. What do you think? Oh, sorry. Yeah, sorry about that. I jumped the gun. That's right. I just wanted to. Oh, no. I wanted to address the Sarah thing because I feel like we dropped a huge fucking bomb on people. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, what happened? Where is she?

Yeah, I'm sure you're not even listening to part of this shit. Wondering where the fuck she is. Blaine's fired, too. Wow. She's not fired. This is a joke. I'm not going to do an NPC pretending to be Sarah for the whole camera. So Sam.

All right. Episode one. It's a new campaign. We have been called to a new mission. We met Joffie the thief. Sam spayed the tobacco scene, a trench coat, twiddling the kind of Faye Bard and Shalhoub, the sorcerer tiefling. We're stopping by our new friend Glendale's for free terror readings. Love it. And I love that it was called a Glendale's gallery.

If you live in Los Angeles County, that's hilarious. They have a five guys. Yeah. And they also have a Kura rotating sushi. They have seven guys. It's five guys and then two guys. They also have nine guys. This is too many guys. Since... So I'll plug now.

Yeah, please. TV writing has shriveled into some sort of dried apricot. So I have been trying to do as much dungeon mastering as possible. I just got back from Baker demonstrative school out in Wilmette, Illinois. They flew me out to do basically a large group assembly for the whole school and then in classroom demonstrations

of how to be a dungeon master. And I got to bring a bunch of third to eighth graders on stage to like do a D&D thing like they got to do a battle with a dragon on stage. And then the whole crowd had six side and died. We're rolling to like determine how the adventure went. Cool. It was super fun. So I'm going to do more of that stuff. Head to Dan Telfer dot com. If you want to reach out to me specifically about that.

Yeah, please. Anybody in education that wants to teach kids this is the guy to do it. So for sure, dude, I can imagine you're fucking awesome at that. Thanks. I used to do like you did it over here with Rhodes and his friends. With Jerry's kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, fun. And I have a background. And I used to be a volunteer counselor in my high school. And it's fun. It's fun times. And I also I'm on the website.

Brennan Lee Mulligan's a dungeon master online site called Start Playing. So in addition to just going to me through the website, you can look me up on there if you're already on there. That's cool. Cool. I have one gig left for 2024. I'm in Tacoma, which I've been there a couple of times right after my accident last year. But I'm coming back.

So we'll be having a blast and see you at diners in Tacoma, because we'll be having meals in your cute little town. That's first, I think it's like the 7th through 9th of December.
