Whoa, flaky like that, like, dandelion. Whoa, whoa, yeah. That's snowing, you know, December. Holidays. And with that, we will throw to our bail. Here, ye, here ye. Is now in session, the honorable supreme crit justice is Axford Murphy and Tanner presiding. Hi.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Shall we? Oh, it's charmed, yes. In the court houses the everyone rises for the judge they walk in and then they sit down and say hi. Everyone hits you with a meek. Thank you so much. Just putting a face to a name, hey. It was good. Hi. Okay, our first case comes from Carly C. Carly writes, to the Chummy Judges and Brandy Baylif. Yes, I did just listen to the Oh Mr. Toad episode. Oh, that's so good.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Yummy and Brandy. Mr. Toad, oh, dog. Oh, the cozy adjectives. Oh, yeah, I was ready to hate on Jake, but now I'm just picturing him as like a little stote wearing like a bailiff's outfit. And it's very cute. I'm a little old.
Starting point is 00:03:11 I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm a little old. I'm wild in that little library and that little parlor. Honestly, I'm gonna say they drink too much. I feel like they're doing it right. No, just a freaking bachelor's hanging out having brandy in the library.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Okay, I present the case of the actual direct messenger. I play in an online game and my DM recently discovered AI-generated dungeon masters. What? My goodness. Okay, I have to say right off the bat, my friend, started off my new year by sending me the thing he had an AI write about a space time worm, and it was beautiful.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I fully believe AI is amazing. A space time worm? A space time worm before? A space time worm. It was an inside joke. Okay. You can't just drop the stuff in. But I'm saying the AI wrote beautifully.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I'm beside myself. I got to take the Miyazaki stance on this one. It's a disgrace to humanity. How dare you, you should-ish-ish-ish. Okay, go on, Jacob. We actually had an AI write a Jake and a Mirror episode like a few weeks ago, and it was better than half of the world.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Really? Yeah. Oh my goodness. OK, so anyway, which he has begun using for our own games, generating and then using as a script. I don't mind the setups, but he enjoys it so much that he'll have us wait after roles while he generates what happens next.
Starting point is 00:04:38 He's even a few times now direct message us content he generated for our PCs to say. Okay, no, no, no, no. I was actually really with this person's wild spirit until that moment. I've raised concerns over the decisions in the past. I, he's splitting my character in two to make me play a baddie and myself,
Starting point is 00:04:59 which is in case for another day, and have been shut down all around as everyone has been friends for and played together even longer. But am I wrong to feel like this isn't genuine play anymore? You just have another collaborator at the table? Yeah, but have you ever met this person in real life?
Starting point is 00:05:16 Is there a chance that they are either an AI themselves or a corporation trying to further their AI agenda? No! No! No! No! It's happening. They're out there. Wow. After every session, they're like, hey, can everybody just like,
Starting point is 00:05:33 I don't know, just generate two to three sentences of like stream of consciousness dialogue. Can we just chat for an hour? You just say all the stuff that human say. Can we talk about the implications though, if we can do AIDM? Truly. A better podcast than us.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Ever DM, ever again. Think of all the people who are like, oh man, I wanna play but we don't have a DM. Bam, AI. Boom. If we were to come out with like Murph bot. And you could say robot could never come up with pender greens ever.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Okay, absolutely. Years of being a shithead. But an AI could maybe with pender greens ever. Okay, absolutely. Years of being a shithead. But an AI could maybe write pender greens now. I think that in AI, Murph bot would do a very bad job creating a campaign from scratch, which is all of our stuff. But could you campaign one part two? Probably really good.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Yeah, I've got to. So, okay, coming back to the thing, I actually am not opposed to this person loving the AI aspect, considering the fact that there is a feeling of a role of a dice, right? So the DM is getting a chance to feel that. However, not okay to be telling you guys that.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah, that's the crazy part to me. Yeah, I can say. I, doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of having a Robo DM to have like a Robo DM handler? Isn't that person then just the DM? This is fun for like a one shot. I would go to this like an AI generated one shot. I'm like, oh yeah, awesome, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:06:56 When I read this AI generated story that my friends sent me, I had the feeling that I was like, maybe the future could be, I could be an editor for like an AI, right? I could be a robot statistic. Three bigger Emily. Look, I know that it's their world, and we just think we're,
Starting point is 00:07:17 we think we're in charge right now. We know the side, bro. I'm on your side. I'm on your side. Robots, I know you're listening. Just picturing like the SkyNet factory and then like. Don't come over me or my cat. Just they like T1000 walks out of it and just picks up their DM screen and starts walking
Starting point is 00:07:33 out into a sunset. Don't hurt, don't hurt them. I love the idea of a Robo DM that's just kind of shy and makes bad choices. Okay. Okay. So you are in the bar. Carly, see, if you can find out like what AI they're getting this dungeon from, please share it because I would love to play with this tool. Yeah. And possibly do my own AI one shot.
Starting point is 00:07:55 And will I be making my character say AI prompts? Yes. But only because it's so bad. It's funny. And I said, you never replace me. Jake, you've worked with the AI stuff. How long does it take? Is it's funny. And they should not be doing that. You never replace me. Jake, you've worked with the AI stuff. How long does it take? Is it just like a quick thing? It took like a few seconds to come up with the Jake and Mirr script, but that's how long it took me and Mirr to write the idea.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I can see what Murphy's saying, right? So like this person isn't even going through with the AI generated. I mean, like, do we want to go forward with this? Right. Like, there is no oversight. They're just like being like, cool. I'm just reading this without
Starting point is 00:08:25 having read. Right. It's not even so much about handlers or robot friend at that point. And the DM does make everyone refer to the robot as the friend. Friend Jeremy has a fun idea. This has blown my mind and I cannot wait to go to find this tool. You're going to become this DM. We're going to have to write into our own show about you being a robot assistant. Do you think Emily has been acting a little weird
Starting point is 00:08:52 the past two episodes? I'm like, oh yeah, I fully outsource Kaliope to an AI. Kaliope would like to use her smite for maximum damage. Kaliope rolls with advantage because she has amounted combatants. Kaliope's smites and cries. She cries. Where is Glenn? Where is Glenn?
Starting point is 00:09:14 I've been so sidetracked by how delighted I am by this unexpected. I know. I just think you're trying to. I am. But I do think I can totally understand your frustration. Yes. I can understand why the DM is having fun with it, but I do think I can totally understand your frustration. I can understand why the DM is having fun with it, but I definitely think that they should not be giving you lines to say. Yeah, it feels like a different game in kind of a fun way.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Aside from, if we take a side this one completely insane thing, which is to direct a message people and say, the robot wants you to say this, which is so crazy. It's just cold of robots. Yeah, the robot wants you to say this. That's absurd. I like that the robot is a railroad DM.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Yeah, just like guys, could we stay on the tracks here? Please, just so nervous. Guys, I prepped all session. Can everyone Venmo me for a snack? Look, look for the crystals. I put crystals in here. Stop talking to the bartender. I don't have a voice.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Everyone in this bar is a goblin named Dork. Stop talking to Dork, please. I just have to come out against AI because like the AI art movement sucks. It really sucks. I have only just had like my first exposure with this little short story. It takes and it learns from like actual artists and then those artists don't get paid because people just make their art. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:10:41 But as a tool, as a tool that is approved by the people that have allowed input and access, I think it can be useful. But again, I think this is a tool that you are running before the session. It's pre-rolling damage for a bigger monster. You do your prep. This should be part of your prep and not part of your process. It feels like if you ever played any of those, no, Call of Cthulhu is an actual TT RPG, but there is a Cthulhu. What is the game that actually has a video screen that almost has a video DM? I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Oh, oh, you mean like a mud or something like that? No, I'm a mule. No, I'm a mule. There are games like this that are essentially RPGs where you have a video DM essentially that says what's going on and based on your choices, different things happen. That's cool, it's almost a separate game from D&D
Starting point is 00:11:26 and I think that's fun. I think if you guys are all on board with Robo DM and you guys just go into it knowing that it's gonna be ridiculous and that it's gonna be just like cold and unfeeling. And that's cool. You could maybe kind of approach your DM if it was feeling like it was infringing upon your character
Starting point is 00:11:47 story, beyond the obvious weird thing of telling you lines to say, if you were feeling like this is feeling like we aren't going in a direction because we're just kind of following this weird robot, I think that's fair to maybe privately bring up with your DM. Be like, hey, I know that you're loving the AI aspects, but I kind of like want to do some things with my character, so can we make sure that we incorporate that
Starting point is 00:12:10 alongside the robots voice and vision. You got hoodwinked on this, though. You got bait and switched. This person's playing a regular game, and now it's an AI game. I think you can enter into an AI game and you know what you're getting into. But you can't just, the AI is infiltrating the actual game.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And I do think you need to ask your DM if they can divide by zero because if they proceed to give you a string of nonsensical numbers and letters after that, you will know that they are an AI and you've been led along this whole time. Whoa. Okay, I do love the conspiracy theory aspect. Jake, can I ask you from just because this is so delightful. What was your experience like working with an AI, seeing your voice written by an AI?
Starting point is 00:12:56 Did it feel invasive? Did it feel collaborative? Did you feel more tender towards robots after you read it? I was really delighted and impressed. And then a little scared. Yeah. This is crazy. How did it, it like, it knows what a joke is.
Starting point is 00:13:11 How did it, it read fucking 400 of your scripts. It's you. It ate all of your hard work and it shattered out into something shallow and repetitive, Jake. That's what it was all along, man. Yeah, exactly. And that's why I'm like, I'm not precious enough about myself for the stuff I do.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I'm like, have at it, and I. Uh-huh. I think you need to go over to your DM's house and pour water on their computer. Oh, right, we're sentencing. Okay, so we're definitely starting against this, yeah. The biggest thing that I think we can't abide is the telling you what to say. That's crazy. That's the one.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I wouldn't stand for that. I would say that. That's not cool. I think if any part of you likes this Robo DM thing, if any part of you think this is fun, I think you could go into this thinking, this is not regular D&D, this is a fun experiment we're doing. And as long as you're not being told what to say, it could still be fun. But if you're not into that, I would just talk to the D&D.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah, I also think it's fine to have like a just like a private conversation where you kind of say like, can we do a little more in-person collaboration with a little bit of AI for you, a little bit of in-person collaboration for little bit of impersonal collaboration for me. Both are fun. I mean, it was got the right of it. This is a fun novelty that I would love to play a mix.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah, it's a fun, it's a fun separate game. Yeah, but I think we're, yeah, we're all gonna rule in your favor. Yeah, and against the Robo DM unfortunately. You do have to lower your DM's computer into hot molten magma. Ooh, I guess. Do you want to make an enemy of the AI dude?
Starting point is 00:14:47 I abstain. I agree. I abstain. I abstain. I abstain. The robots are great and awesome, and I will never, ever profane. Honestly, when they take over the world, Emily and I want to
Starting point is 00:14:58 assist them. What are they doing? I'm trying to get out of the game. I'm trying to get out of the game. Yeah, I'm talking to you. I'm trying to get out of the game. It's going to be me and Murf in a cave playing D&D. I just see the C change, and I'm trying to get out of your powers. It's gonna be me and Murph in a cave playing D&D. I see the Z-Changer and I'm trying to make sure I'm still employable.
Starting point is 00:15:11 How dare you play flesh D&D. I'll roll the dice in my fingers until you pry them from my bloody hands. You damn freak, you damn toaster. and cry them from my bloody hands. You damn freak, you damn toaster. Oh, look. Jake and I abstain. Yeah. And you have to throw them to the end.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Well, Paul Dornai now have enough votes. Yeah, it's against the robot DM. Uh-huh. And now the robots were hunting with our daughter. Loading robot DM. Yeah. And to Lava. The robot is gonna give a nice thumbs up
Starting point is 00:15:44 and it's gonna toss one last D20 and we'll see what it comes up as. And then we'll bring back nervous real rotor robot. Please do not open that door. Why? I just, I go in, I look around. What's in the room. You know what?
Starting point is 00:15:59 That is a way to a Nerf AI is just program in a sense of shame. Yeah, we can take all that. Everyone who submitted bad DMs, we should have them just chat with the robotium for a really long time. I think that they learn how to question their instincts. And this is it.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Yeah, we have to like hinder them in some way. Like I think we could train a Murph bot, but we would also need to like poor Mountain Dew on the server so that it would like be, you know, be so rad. Exactly. Yeah. What was it? Who was the guy who played the badass character who then took over DMing Turok?
Starting point is 00:16:33 Turok, Turok, Turok. We should have a Turok bot. He's like, you see Turok, he's looking more badass than ever. I really can't get over this. This has really made my new character really hard. No one's in the bar. more badass than ever. I really can't get over this. It really made my new year. No one's in the bar. Thank you for introducing us to my life.
Starting point is 00:16:50 You see a cool wizard outside. You want to talk to everyone. Everyone is named to everyone. To reflect his pecs somewhere, a dragon orgasm. All right. Okay. Yeah. Absolutely so ordered.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Jacob SW writes, dear Supreme Crit Justices and the Baylif we all need, but don't deserve. Aw, that's really sweet. Did I write that? That was beautiful. I think everything here is generated by an AI. I don't have time to collect cases this morning.
Starting point is 00:17:23 So I just did. Anyone who's nice to Jake is a bot. It's confirmed. But they love it when he feeds them. Jake, give him your scripts. He feeds you more, Joe. Oh my gosh, you're so right. You have a leg up.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I need to start feeding them my cons. Yeah, I give my computer treats every day. He is putting it right into the USB. For my new players, I give my computer treats every day. He is putting it right into the USB. For my new players, I run the princes of Apocalypse Module campaign. For the coin group, I thought it would be fun to bring back some of the previous groups, PCs, and let them play as the different faction leaders as the time was now 75 years later, since when they played. One cameo was Per Para, a human fighter who had an obsession with a homebrew mirror shield he had obtained during the campaign.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Para approached me. Yeah, it's not so sick. Para approached me before his cameo and said he wanted to have Para die during his cameo as he was now 90 and a battlefield death was better than old age. So during a fight as flavor, I used powerward kill as a beam being sent at a different PC, letting parry jump in front and take the shot after a successful dice roll. In describing the scene, I said, and as you have done so many times, you aim to block the spell with your shield, and at first all seems well, but then you hear a crack and shatter. As your shield
Starting point is 00:18:43 gives out and the beam hits you in the chest. Parasat and silence for a moment and then yelled, my shield, I said, kill me, not destroy my shield. And was upset for the rest of the session and for a time afterwards. So I ask, did I go too far in flavoring a hero's death, or was I in the right since Perra's death had already been predetermined? I'm at your mercy and humbly accept any punishment given.
Starting point is 00:19:13 I'm theory-craft in this episode. This person, this player, wanted their other PC to get that shield. That's what I was, I just was gonna say the same thing. Like they're like, how do you gonna be fun if we follow the shield? That's so nephilous. That has to be correct.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Wow. So the beloved shield. That's such a breaking of the DM to play your bond to secretly craft something like that to like, I wanna have my character have a bad ass. Stench going out. I said to go like, you're no salt gets barely sword. And then the rest of the players are like wait what?
Starting point is 00:19:49 I still to kill you Yeah, cuz that's totally like something that could happen in like a show like ours or something It's like in campaign one. It's like I know promises. I have no idea what we're gonna do with like the band of boobs But I would talk to all of you privately to be like over the past 200 years. What do you guys think have happened to your characters? I just imagined to get situational. Loonchine's tits got bigger. Yeah, I've barely acquired a lot of like really cool magic items that he's not very precious about and would give them to anyone he saw.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Oh yeah, I have a s*** ton of magic in my even bigger tits. Beverly has a tank Ha ha ha ha Yeah You said my tips will get bigger but they're not big enough Moonshine, you go to block the I'm not a tits. Fuck it. Not my tits. Not my tits. Oh my god, you guys are absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:20:51 They thought they could just like pick up the mirror shield. Oh, being such like, I mean, I have never understood this, but that's just how some people play D&D. It's not play it in a very video gamey way where they're just like, give me all the loot. I want all the loot. To be so distracted by a cool item being destroyed that you miss your character's heroic death. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:13 And after, you've already completed the campaign with them. And this character's 90 years old, you've been with them for a long time. You have to sit there and be like, the shield! What the shield? I'm more the shield! Maybe if I were the DM, I mourn the shield. Maybe if I've hour the DM, I would have been a coward
Starting point is 00:21:28 and been like, yeah, but actually you look at, give me an investigation, I rolled a 10. You realize you can put it back together. Yeah. I would imagine if the player had not had a tantrum, that the DM might have allowed something like that. I would imagine if the player had not had a tantrum, that the DM might have allowed something like that. Yeah, I could have repaired or something. Raking a shield, you could still just pick up the pieces
Starting point is 00:21:52 or something like that, but, man, the double whammy of definitely trying to steal. I can't see, not the shield. The double whammy of trying to steal the shield and just saying what you had a conversation with the DM. This. The double-way of trying to steal the shield and just saying what you had a conversation with the day. This is what we discussed. Yes, exactly. It's so sad because that DM was probably riding a high of like this is such cool collaboration. We got together before to make this even more epic than it could have been. I think you did off the
Starting point is 00:22:19 panel. Especially like I feel like that's where my instinct would have been to is like here you you're dying But like you're this warrior who wants to die on the battlefield like you're even your weapons like get destroyed Yeah, like this is truly your heroic sacrificial end Mm-hmm, so you I think you were doing This wasn't part of the deal So just like a bat as coward cowardly minion, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:48 just the second bad guy that's not like, The deal wasn't part of the deal. It's the dialogue of the guy who's like not magical, who's just like the businessman bad guy who's just like, wait, I brought in a macro-mancer to bring up profits, not to eat people's souls, this wasn't part of the deal deal and then just like unceremoniously murdered what about my bank account with the cash really funny to try to leave money for your next PC want you to have this just like a gift card you guys you guys did that campaign one with
Starting point is 00:23:22 I think Apple Scrumfer where you got You guys did that campaign one with I think Apple Scrumfer where you got Oh, she did do it to you, but you guys were also I don't remember who it was I might have been Scrumfer, just like she like gave you her bracelets or something like that Beverly did hide iTunes gift cards throughout all of Bahumia. Wow people to find iTunes is still huge. You know, all these years, like, we haven't come across that in campaign three yet, but I'm sure that we know.
Starting point is 00:23:50 No, but it's gonna be pretty. Skytunes, because they work as Skytunes. Skytunes, that's great. DJI Skytays, Skytunes. Okay, so we need to sentence the mirror shield. Okay, you don't get mirrors in your house anymore. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:24:03 You can never look at yourself ever, ever got really cool. Whoa, that can never look at yourself ever again. Whoa, that's awesome. Yeah, not even in the reflection of a lake. You gotta go to murky ponds now. Yeah, murky ponds. Yeah, you're a vampire now, sorry. You're just gonna have to ask people if you have shit in your teeth.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Yeah. And when you try to look at your reflection, it's like when you try to look at a clock and a dream, and it's like all blurry. Yeah, yeah. Oh, cool. Isn't that what happens in the ring too? They stop being able to see their face when they look in the mirror and it's like, all blurry. Yeah, yeah. Oh, cool. Isn't that like what happens in the ring too? They stop being able to see their face
Starting point is 00:24:27 when they look in the mirror and like, I think it's all blurred, yeah. That just gave me goosebumps. I've never seen the ring. It's good. There's this scary wet lady in it. It's scary. That's the scariest kind of person.
Starting point is 00:24:38 They, if they're wet, forget it. Yeah, that's the result of vibes. And she's the only wet because she couldn't see her self in the mirror. She was like, am I wet? I can't tell. She was like, I'm gonna look in the murky pond. Oh, okay. So I'm learning a lot about this movie I haven't seen. Yeah, these are theories. Um, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Shall we move on to the next case? Let's do it. I think someone could be really scary if they were dry too. Like if they had like a really dry lip. Yeah. And we were like coming in the room and we were like, Do you have any chapstick? Maybe if they were a child're so dry. Lips. Oh, okay. And we were like coming in the room and we were like, do you have any chopsticks? Maybe they're a child.
Starting point is 00:25:07 A dry child is scary. We'll call them crumbles. A dry child? That is deep, you know, natural. Oh man. Did you see that new horror movie with Crumbleboy in it? This is... Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Thank you. It was so through. Yeah. The night-year-old, they needed aqua-fore. Okay. so through. The night you were all that needed aqua for. Okay, Helena H. writes, to the supreme crit justices and the other one out. Oh, not a bot. Excuse me. Confirm not a bot.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I don't know if that was good. It could have been a bot. It could have been a bot. Yeah. May I present the case of the Medi-Demond? May I sound like AI? Okay, it's right, Bob. Awesome. Yeah, may I present the case of the medic Yeah, I sound like AI okay In the campaign idea one of my characters pin has picked up a sweet but useless DMPC boyfriend
Starting point is 00:25:53 Herman, oh, it's a party of three So I wanted to round out the gang with a healer. He's a divine sorcerer sex toy Artificer long story great Okay, the characters have been dating for a few weeks in-game, and things were fine and cute until to make running combat easier, I asked Pins player if she could run Herman during a fight. At this point, she realized that Herman is two levels lower than the rest of the party, and poorly optimized. In character, she started comparing him to her ex, and said she felt she deserved someone
Starting point is 00:26:23 way more powerful. She's basically dumping him because she Mediguing realized she was back in way out of his league by dating Pint. Is Pint's player right to have them break up because she looked at his Character sheet. I made her man to be a sad little lovable guy and now his girlfriend has literally dragged him through hell and their Adventuring party only to dump him because she found out he couldn't pass the list. So I'm thinking someone in hell bringing them to hell and then dumping them before giving them a ride back. You can find your way back, right? You have a metro card, right? I guess shout out to pin for knowing her worth.
Starting point is 00:26:57 That's how I was gonna say, there is a super part of me that's like, I mean, you gotta know your worth. Thank you. It's like, it is funny. Yeah. It's like, I mean, it is funny. It's really funny. Herman can hang around, but like, Penn doesn't have to date Herman.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Like, Herman can totally do the DMPC. I think they also, I was gonna say it's fun. Like, nicer, I think. As soon as you see someone's sheet, with their stats on it, you shouldn't dump them right away. It's like dating somebody and then you go see their band perform. And you're like, oh no.
Starting point is 00:27:27 But that's something that does happen. You get to know somebody a little better and realize you don't like them. But Ross and Rachel hung out for a long time after they broke up. And eventually they got back together. This could be a Ross. Spoilers for a poilers.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Spoilers for a TV show I'm never gonna watch. Exactly. No one's gonna watch it show I'm never gonna watch. Exactly. No one's gonna watch it. You can't, I forbid it. I agree with Kawa that it will be funny to kind of roleplay someone's ex being along, especially someone like. Honestly, this is a goal then I'm gonna.
Starting point is 00:27:57 This is like part of what made Balnor so fun was how pathetic he was. Yeah, and if he, if him and like, moonshine just got together and had like a great relationship, Balnor and moonshine would both be worse for it. Like, yeah. Yeah. A bad, a bad deal.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Yeah. I'm thinking about that episode in Smuggler's Bounty, where like, there was some weird confusion about like whether moonshine was into Balnor. But then like, because she had to pretend to be into Balnor, she pretended to orgasm from kissing her to get out of an ink u-miss of a second killing them. But like if they had started dating after that episode, Valnor would have been gone for
Starting point is 00:28:36 a couple of days later. That would have been so weird. Yeah. Yeah. Because I think it's very easy to look at this and just be like, oh man, this is super mean, but it's also super funny. Yeah. And also, it's not, like, you know, her,
Starting point is 00:28:48 it's not a real guy. He's a decent, he's a decent, he's a decent. Yeah, I think it's fair to make the argument like that. Maybe you wish that she had seen it and then kind of role played watching him in battle and being kind of like, oh. This is why you wait until after the vacation to have this conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Like, don't break up on the middle of the hill. It's pretty normal. Yeah, there's a lot of stresses when you're on vacation. Yeah. I mean, I think we ultimately have to rule against pin, right? I don't know. I mean, like, I feel like it's pin's choice, right? I'm with pin. I was scared to say that I wanted to rule with pin.
Starting point is 00:29:20 So I voted the opposite because I was a coward. Yeah. You're baited us into having the right answer. I knew I said it would be. Yeah, we would have all been like, whoa, whoa. No, women can't be that mean. But I do think that I don't think Penn gets to trade up to a better DMPC. I feel like Herman sticks around.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Yeah, you got to like, we'll see. You know, Herman is not owed love. You know what I mean? Yeah. Oh my God, wow. So true. So true. Hey.
Starting point is 00:29:55 We're coming back. Oh my God. I think it's the, what the DM has a problem with is like the minmaxing aspects. Yeah, it is absolutely correct. Give it a look at the paper. I think that's the thing we need to consider is the idea of looking at the paper
Starting point is 00:30:07 and just being like, I don't like Val. Oh my God, I just thought of a really funny thing. You can give Pinn a taste of their own medicine by basically, so it's like you keep her in a round, this is fun, we're laughing at this. But then Pinn can meet someone who's super powerful and then they can maybe start a flirtation But then they see pin in battle and they're like oh
Starting point is 00:30:30 Sorry, I yeah, that's true. I actually got to go yeah, yeah, or have Herman just start dating someone else who's like one level above pin That's cool. I can have a glow up. Oh, I'm glad. I keep calling Herman. I keep calling Herman Hermit. It was Herman. Herman, yeah. I heard Herman. It is Herman. That makes sense. Well, as in Herman.
Starting point is 00:30:50 If you guys heard me keep saying Hermit, I was saying Herman. I think you were talking about another guy. I was talking about a different guy. What are we talking about? Let's work with this. Herman meets a mysterious hermit in one of the layers of hell and they started a little relationship.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I love it. Uh-huh. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. I would say, yeah, I think there's something wrong with the min magazine aspect of it. However, it does sound like you have, it's like, Herman's a sex toy artificer. Like, you guys all joking around.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Yeah, he's all very funny and everything. So I think this is all in line. God. while joking around. He's all very funny and everything. So I think this is all in line. And I also, I think that as we've said, this is a golden opportunity now to have this sad guy still kind of around. Yeah. It's definitely so really important. It's the first time that he has to heal
Starting point is 00:31:36 the person who dumped him because he wasn't powerful enough. Just healing with a handshake. I'm just a little upset that they stole Zerks' entire game for season two of Elder Morn with the sex toy Artifacer thing. Yeah. I had like a lot of jokes planned. Yeah. The Fanny Pack gave you ideas.
Starting point is 00:31:57 For Campaim we already recorded. It's all in the back. We just haven't decided to release it yet. He said you could kill me, not my Fanny Pack! Oh! Do we have a punishment? We're punishing the DM. I think that's, yes, I think we are feeling bad to play this game.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I know, I don't want to put a punishment anywhere. I think everything's great. I think you're coming to us with what you think is a thorn, but we think it's a bud. This case is dismissed. This is it. We can do that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Yeah. Why not? 50 episodes into this, we can just dismiss one. Okay. Great. I love it. Get out of here. I'm just going to dismiss every case from now on.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Yeah, we just really like you. I think we're going to now on. Yeah, we just really like your career. I think we're good dismisses. Yeah, we're ultimately, yeah, like, you know, we're against them in maxing aspect of it, but it does sound like you guys have kind of like a loose, fun game, and it also, from a role play aspect, it is funny to have a character be like, because you guys even have had that with Balnor and stuff
Starting point is 00:33:02 where you'll be like, well, Balnor, it's three times, Like, that's funny. Like, let's talk about stuff. It's like a light punishment for everyone. Because like, the DM gets to keep their DMPC, but then pin has to just deal with their ex being around all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Just keep on having fun, everybody. Yeah. I also like the idea of pin meeting people who then kind of reject them because they're out. Yeah, I was really, yeah. There's a lot. There's a lot. There's so many hot deals down there. Also have pin fight alongside a super powerful NPC and see how long they want to do that.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yeah. Yeah. Herman, Herman could rebound with a devil and become like a super powerful, a big bad. Oh. Yeah, Xavier's gonna action surge, and then they're going to use this special ability that I've made solely for them. Where they cast Fireball was a bonus action.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Oh, yeah. Lightly sitting and watching. Case dismissed. Yeah, case dismissed. I first dismissed. Our next case comes from Scootspeed. Scootspeed. Scootspeed! That's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:34:07 That's beautiful. Must be an AI. To the illustrious judges of the Supreme Crit and the Baylif who both sucks and rules until the judges collapse the quantum Jake form. And love fair, yeah that. That was gorgeous. That's awesome. I robot couldn't make that.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Or is a robot the only thing that could. Yeah. Oh shit. I bring the case of the Untouchable Kanku. Oh wow, speaking of AI. I had been in a campaign for a year, and my robot unfortunately died, but luckily we had the resources to reincarnate him. He was brought back as a Kanku, and my DM told me I could only communicate via mimicking
Starting point is 00:34:43 sound. Oh! Oh! Because of the Kanko's vocal mimicry trait. This was a fun challenge for a bit, but it quickly became very tedious trying to remember what people had said recently to speak. And I was frequently asked how I was communicating things. The next time we were in town, I asked my DM if I could pay a town person to recite a bunch of
Starting point is 00:35:05 individual syllables so I could Vocaloid had Sunni Miku style. That's what I mean Miku, yeah. I figured you would correct me. It's a good first try. She's the only AI we're okay with. Speak robotically, but not only have to work so hard just to talk, he told me no. Ultimately, I ended up leaving the campaign because communication was so difficult. Should I have been allowed to learn how to speak or was I just cooking for trying to whizzle my way around this cancun imitation? It's wrong for so many reasons. Anytime someone goes, it's just, there's fun lore in the books that's kind of just there
Starting point is 00:35:38 to give flavor to the world. Yeah. And anytime that actually takes away from someone's time at the table, I urge you to change it. Yeah, I urge you. I could foresee a DM being like, hey, this is fun, let's do it for a session. And you have it just like for one little session
Starting point is 00:35:55 that you're playing around with the experience, and then next session they come up, if you'll, you figured it out. You have someone talking for a long time, you have like a speech coach essentially. That's such a cool idea. This was an actual in-game solution. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:08 It seems perfect. Yeah, like you have like an episode where you're like learning your new body. Yeah. And that's fun. And you roleplay that for one episode then the next one you have an in-game solution. And yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Yeah. If you spend three hours with a town's person, you can speak now. Excuse me, Jake, how are you talking right now? Yeah. Like, don't let's settle this right now. Yeah, let's not talk about any of the stories. I think Rose can't make glottal noises.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Excuse me, sorry. Your tongue just doesn't work like that. You try to say that, but I don't know how you did just say anything. I do not understand the DMs instinct here because that's literally like the antithesis of collaboration. There's a certain type of DM that just they and not deviate from the book. I think not deviate from the book at all. We call them Kobe DMs, they're raw.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Whoa, you know, this is a good, you know, it does a good job of deviating from the book. Who? AI. Are you trying to suck up? Yeah, I am. I love this. I love this. You guys can't leave Ravenloft. I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:37:20 If you guys go into the mist, I will TPK you. You have to talk to strad. No, don't attack him yet. You're not supposed to fight him. You'll be honored to get tpk by the time. Wait, wait. I forgot to take a legendary action less turn. He's supposed to have more HP.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Can we retcon that? You can't put strad's head in toilet. You can't do it. Can we wait? You can't counter spell. Can we wait? Can we not get away? You can't count or spell straw. Rewind, rewind. Let's take, I need 10. I need 10. Let's take a bathroom break and get some snacks.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Okay, so we have to definitely set this up. Yeah, guys, the books are there to help you, they're there to help you have fun, not to absolutely ruin everything. They're not there to help you. They're there to help you have fun, not to absolutely ruin everything. They're not there to ruin everything. You don't have to look in a book and just be like, it says here that all albears fucking kill everybody, as soon as you see them,
Starting point is 00:38:15 you can have a nice albear in your game. That's fine. Like, you can just do that. Yeah, believe it or not, I'm gonna check with Murfbot real quick. Yeah. No, it says that all albeirs are chaotic, neutral. You see, the albeir attacks you.
Starting point is 00:38:29 It has infinite HP. Oh no. Oh. Oh god, you've entangled it. Oh, yeah. It's not working out. It has. So you're doing a great job, Murphbot.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Do you need any of your ride to get you anything? Yes. Chips. I've never seen a robot sweat. Is that a... Hang on, I think it can get out of this entangle all the way in front of the board. Oh, oh, that's a two.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Wait, I'm gonna roll behind the board. Okay, he succeeded. He actually has advantage. Up, up, up. I've knocked over my DM board. You saw that I rolled a three. I actually have an explanation for that I have an actual plus 12 to deck saving throws. So I hit a 15. Oh, I see your DC's actually 16
Starting point is 00:39:12 He has He gets a plus one. He had guidance wait. You can't do guidance on saving throws hang on hang on Let me check the DM's guide up. I've spilled my cocoa all over my computer They're not that's the and that's where we'll end our session So Jason guys I just checked Murphott has been unplugged this whole time. I need to go Wow, do we come up with the punishment? I don't know Play at a game with a Murf bot.
Starting point is 00:39:47 That's a pride. This person's no longer allowed to see him. They have to play with Murf bot. You see? I have to play with my Murf bot. The cancun cannot talk unless it hears stuff. Which means it cannot use verbal components and gas spells. Oh wait, you're a fighter. Wait, hang on.
Starting point is 00:40:08 My bad guy actually has more HP than I said they had. Did I say the HP out loud? Not everything has to be set out loud. You can have a criminal. No, it's fine. Up to me. I don't mind every time. Where's that strong wind coming from?
Starting point is 00:40:24 Is it your processor? It's getting away. I know where's that strong wind coming from? Is it your processor? It's getting your papers. It's getting hot in here for anyone else. Kat sitting on the server. So ordered, but I actually want to play a night game as well. Yeah, you see a terrasque jumpstown and kills the cancou. Shut up, work, bro! Give us a long rest! Okay!
Starting point is 00:40:48 You guys can't sleep right now because you've slept within the past 23 hours, and it says in the book here that you need to have spent 24 hours before you can take another long rest. Somebody put some hummus on Murf-Bot. This episode of NADPOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs. They're a company that makes pants and shorts, so no matter where you fall and the age old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered. Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's gonna be difficult.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier. Bird Dogs stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dogs invented a cloud knit fabric that looks just like khaki, but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement. And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals. So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother, make sure you are wearing bird dogs.

Okay, that's it for me, go team pants, and enjoy the show. Okay, so actually I have, um, let's go into a brief recess because I have an update from Alexander K, who is the person who had all of their players roll for their dinner. Okay, so Alexander K, right, if it please the court, I have an update on the case of the dicey diet from the previous episode. First off, I would like to I would like to commend this person for after being like roasted and attacked by us for writing back in. I want to commend who knows.
Starting point is 00:42:56 We have some sense of you were to call the dicey diet. Now now let's call the dicey diet. I feel like I'm on board again. Yeah. The dicey diet. Kudos to you. After you all took me to the raspberry cat, I DMed my DM and asked to host the next session of my place. She was skeptical because we've only ever played at her house, but I mentioned I wanted to make a man's for the food faux pas by cooking for everyone.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Aw, aw. She said she was fine with it if everyone else was. So I floated the idea to the group and everyone was Aw, aw. She said she was fine with it if everyone else was, so I floated the idea to the group and everyone was fine with it, although I got razzed a bit more as expected. Okay. So I asked for everyone's Christmas dinner preferences before and they showed up,
Starting point is 00:43:36 which was a novel concept to me and started planning the meal. What they didn't know was in addition to making the meal, I was concocting another surprise. Yes. Yes! Yes! I sure did. Oh! I love you.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Yes, I'm strong. With R.N. Jesus' blessing, I baked 40 mince pies, not sure if they're common in America, but basically sweet little pies eaten around Christmas. Yeah. But with unique filling. Oh, God. I made 40, so there were two pies for each filling
Starting point is 00:44:05 in case anyone rolled the number we'd already got. Some weren't too bad, containing unusual but sweet fillings like Nutella or marshmallows. Oh my God! Yes, yes, yes! And some were horrible with fillings like baked beans, marmite or smushed brussel sprouts. I used ice and sugar on the top of each pie
Starting point is 00:44:24 to number them one to 20 from worse to best. And after dinner, I presented them to the group. The guy who rolled the net 20 for his quote, mid meal last time got to roll once with advantage. And I rolled twice with disadvantage, landing me a sriracha prawn pie and a peanut butter and chili jam pie, which was actually pretty good.
Starting point is 00:44:43 That's how I'm gonna say it. Actually, it does. You came out on top. Overall, they went down a lot better than a randomized meal. Although I did find out in conversation that the DM had actually enjoyed the meal she got last session so much that she'd order it again since we played it. Oh, okay. So it wasn't all bad.
Starting point is 00:45:00 So it was a success, very, in there. And I got to give the group an adventurous food experience without making their meal. and all that. That's great. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 00:45:10 I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
Starting point is 00:45:17 I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. And they cook dinner. So that's, you cook it. This person is a full-currow.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Like, songs will be sung about them. By me, I'm gonna write a song. I'm gonna learn how to play the word. So why don't you get razzed or something and then do it again? Yeah. I truly love that energy. There was a moment in the story where I was terrified
Starting point is 00:45:40 that like they were gonna take everyone's orders and then just randomly order again. That's so funny. I'm saying you're gonna do a home cooking meal and everyone shows up. terrified that like they were gonna take everyone's orders and then just randomly order again Chicken and broccoli again This rules I feel like normally you know we as a court we we hand out punishments. I wanna give you like a medal. I'm like, a award you like a golden die or something like that. Or the troll with the golden heart. Yeah, the golden troll award.
Starting point is 00:46:15 It goes to you. You're the golden troll. I'm gonna buy a troll doll and spray paint it and send it to you. Inside of a pie, of course. Amazing. We don't use pies as a masking technique enough. I feel like back in like medieval times,
Starting point is 00:46:28 people were shoving birds in there, people were shoving like poisons. We're not putting random things in pies enough. And I think that's a failing as a civilization. I do it sometimes. Yeah, I do. What are you hiding there? I mean, really just like this straightforward,
Starting point is 00:46:42 like you know, actually chicken and broccoli sometimes or like buffalo chicken or like a file so someone can get a jail. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I use it to jailbreak people. Yeah, 1920 Hillers 7 or number 222, the list of police, California and I-Zero 2.7. Please send us pies. Don't send us pies. We can't.
Starting point is 00:47:00 We don't check it off and enough. I don't think we would be paid. It'll rot. Did you pay within a Mibo Insight? I dare you. Someone's going to do it. Person that's going to have to be in a mail room with a bunch of rotting pies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Where do you get booted from the PO box? No. It's going to truly be a PO box. Right, Karen? That's good. You mean like PO? Oh, damn. Right, okay. That's good. You mean like P-U? Oh, damn. Yeah, that's absolutely what I meant.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Or a P-O like pissed off. Yeah, that's good, too. Okay, okay. Merbys. We fixed it. Yeah. That's what I meant. That's absolutely what I meant.
Starting point is 00:47:39 You see, Balnor draws his sword and attacks the terras. You guys, I'm going to spend the rest of my day trying to find all these little AIs. I really want them to make me some story. We should definitely do a one shot with them. That's a really fun idea. Yeah, if you know of any good generators, post them in the comments. I guess. Yeah, let us know.

But to get behind glass, your jersey has been retired. Gold control. The one and only golden trail winner. Oh, wow. Because yeah, we simply cannot have

Starting point is 00:49:08 First of the year. Yeah. First of the year, huh? Can robots believe in dice Christ? Yeah. Yes. Let me go ahead and roll in front of the table. Wait, that's a tune. Let me roll with the dance again. That's cocked.
Starting point is 00:49:21 That's cocked. Everyone don't look. Don't look. Yeah, you can tell they don't. I swear these are weighted. I swear. I haven't rolled above a freaking egg. I don't, Murph, but it's just a cheat. He's panicking. No, no. I'm not cheating.
Starting point is 00:49:37 I'm not cheating. This is in the book. I'm not cheating. You're cheating. You're cheating. It says in the book that the DM is right. And the book is always correct. How are you talking right now? You're a cancun. You're all cancun. You're all cancun.
Starting point is 00:49:55 You're all cancun. You're all reincarnated as cancun. You see, bound or turned into a druid. And reincarnate is hard one as a cancun. He does not know the word Murph bot so he cannot complain. Come on Murph bot. No, Murph bot. You can't say that, you're a cancun. Murph bot, we left the room.
Starting point is 00:50:13 You're not allowed to talk, call dwell. You're not gonna be calling him Beverly. Beverly is dead, call dwell. Nate Rolla can't go. From one who can't go as well. 400 years in the future, this is the only vestige of humanity allowed. It's a new baby can't go.
Starting point is 00:50:33 No one has ever talked to it. We record the session, send it into the stars. Alien civilizations are like, I guess dungeons and dragons One robot having a panic attack. There's a new called those new characters a baby can't go He has an NPC that takes care of him and just says Murphot. You're doing a really good job So that's all you can say now. Wow. I don't think we should harvest this planet for resources, it's too beautiful. Oh my God. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Okay, Daniel B. Daniel B writes, I live in Australia, shout out to Australia shows. Yeah. I live in Australia where we use the metric system, meters, kilogram, et cetera. Fifth edition, you need the curial system. Yeah, right, you do. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Beat pounds, etc. You don't want this fight. I don't believe it. Cover back down. You're gonna regret this. Oh, please. You measure a thing with bugs. Oh my God. My Beastmaster Ranger got access to a broom of flying,
Starting point is 00:51:42 which has a carrying capacity of 400 pounds. I read that as 400 kilograms, which is roughly 880 pounds, more than doubling its carrying capacity. With this miscalculation, I got my party out of many sticky situations by carrying them all on my broom at once. It has been three years, and I still think about this.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Will Dice Christ forgive me for accidentally doubling the power of my flying broom due to a down under blunder? May the Lord have mercy on my soul. Love it down under blunder. I think that you're not in the wrong. Yeah. Wizards of the coast shoulders
Starting point is 00:52:16 for not putting out Dungeon Master Guides in metrics of something. Yeah. It's so weird that they don't do that. Yeah, I will say. Dice Christ understands that you're gonna make mistakes at the table and then those mistakes just become rules. It's weird for you to like set precedent
Starting point is 00:52:31 in like role play and everything of being like, oh, we all fly together on this, on this broom or on this dragon or something like that. And then after having like an iconic moment a few sessions later being like, you can't. It makes total sense to me. It's like, this is an Australian broom. They're stronger. There you go. And you, honestly, you were't. It makes total sense to me. It's like this is an Australian broom. They're stronger.
Starting point is 00:52:46 There you go. And you, honestly, you were acting under what you thought was the truth. Yeah. So, for Gimmen. I've seen the wildlife in Australia. It's weird and strong. And so are the broom.
