Lollie, Lollie, Lollie, Lollie, Lollie.
Oh, we should have made your chair shorter.
Yeah, you should have.
You should have, but you did it.
Now everyone's watching the video knows!
Wait a minute, Baila Puritz, can you hunch?
Can you hunch please?
Yes, I'll get lower. I will get lower in this chair. Technically, on our minute. Baila Purrich, can you hunch? Can you hunch please? Yes, I'll get lower.
I will get lower in this here.
Technically on our level, Baila Fee.
That's correct.
We're trying it out.
It's like a fac.
Why don't we throw to the Baila Fee?
Yes.
Here ye, here ye.
Crit is now in session the honorable Supreme Crit
justices, Axford Murphy and Tanner presiding.
Hi.
Hi.
Howdy.
And we are on video.
Really exciting stuff.
Or just in your ears.
Yeah, either way.
I wasn't going to tell you how to consume your media.
Totally.
Even if you want to just stare at your phone and watch nothing,
do both.
Give us the clicks.
Give us the downloads.
You get to watch it and have it muted.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's awesome.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
Uh-huh. Give us the view and's awesome. Do you like it? Yeah.
Give us the view and the listen.
If you don't print this out as individual JPEGs
and string it together in your house,
it doesn't count as a view to me.
I'm sorry.
Can I just say we don't even know this was gonna be on YouTube
and Murf just the second you heard it now
was like, please give us the views.
We need the views.
Check it out.
I think what's our YouTube channel?
It's on youtube.com slashin head pod in A-B-D- head pod in a BDP O D. Our professionalism is showing. Yeah.
Speaking of professionalism, let's get right into it. Thank you. That was a
beautiful. Thank you. Now it's not now that's not just bad for sound, it's bad for me.
I'm sorry. I'm trying out my new persona,
the bad boy judge this time around.
I love that.
All right, crispy buns, rights.
Oh.
Smurf.
I need to know more about the buns.
They've already lost murs.
And it only gets worse for crispy buns from here.
Oh boy.
And the video people will see my eyes narrow as
the circle of murs. Oh my god. Yes, they. The video people will see my eyes narrow. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
They're going to get to see Murph Seath.
It's a few buns that has to have a normal problem.
Okay. That's here.
Okay.
May it please the court honorable Supreme Crit
Justices Murphy, Tanner and Axford and the
Krispie and Frisky Baylif spelled B-A-E, which I really love.
Oh, I do like that. That's fun, but two adjectives?
I don't know, seems a little greedy.
Crispy and frisky.
I don't like it.
You should choose one, Jake.
Yeah, let's lower the chair.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Lower the chair.
We couldn't write us a man with a chain sock,
comes in.
Whoa.
Just swinging the way to my friend.
The chair legs, that takes sense.
Whoa. Whoa. I present the case of the pooping cleric.
Oh.
I DM for a group of first-time players, and recently,
one of them has decided to incorporate taking a shit
into the game, removing themselves
from whatever scenario the party is in,
to take a big old dump.
OK, OK, let's begin.
There's nothing if not committed.
Let's begin because I do love when we
read it project these before. Let's let's assume that this cleric is just
going for realism. Everyone needs to use after a long day of drinking meat and
yeah, you need to eat. This is part of he doesn't ignore point weight.
Is the yeah, in conference applies to your body as well.
Point weight or me doing.
So we're on the cleric side for now.
Yeah, we'll keep going.
Let's see what happens.
We're assuming it comes from a place of realism.
The first time it was brought up, I thought it was funny.
So I allowed it and we even came up with a mechanic
to determine how often they needed to poop
based on a role and past poops.
OK.
However great.
It's a little too evolved.
It is. It's what little too evolved. It is.
I'm gonna narrow my eyes.
I'm gonna narrow my eyes.
I'm gonna narrow my eyes.
However, a situation came up where the PC rolled a critical fail on a poop check.
Okay.
They requested said poop check.
And subsequently, we're present for an ambush encounter which almost led to a T.P.K.
Oh my god, they're role-playing IBS.
Why would you do this to yourself?
My question is, you know what? Has the poop mechanic on too far or should I embrace the chances
of unexpected bowel movements at the risk of having a campaign end because the cleric was taking
a shit in the way? But you can see yourself and still heal. You can cheat yourself in your wounds.
That's true. That's true. But can you hear a heal emotionally from that?
I don't want to wait. Wait, wait, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. You can definitely shit yourself in healing word
because that's from a distance. That's a big go. But does that that doesn't require concentration
does it? Cause I would say the pooping requires concentration. I'm going to be dropped
to supreme. I think that you have a child and so you are watching a child learn how to poop. Uh-huh.
I would say from ages three on it's instinct. It's pretty easy. Yeah, but I'm saying the like, I phone.
So it's concentrating on your phone.
Yeah.
I'm saying if you want to do it right,
yeah, if you're just like squatting on a lawn,
if you have to go so bad that you're failing poop checks,
whatever that is, it's just slipping out.
A poop check.
Well, it's all checked.
Well, there must be,
this is their mechanic.
Yeah, so to answer your question,
Chris B, was it?
Chris B, Bonson.
Yes.
Chris B, I'm just gonna call you Chris B if that's okay.
KB.
Chris B, you already went too far.
But also I will say that you've gotten to
into the weeds with the mechanics of the poop check.
You're keeping track of the past poops.
They're keeping track of the past poops,
which honestly has nothing to do with it.
It has more to do with your diet, right?
Yeah, that's depending on what you eat that day.
That's what I had to do.
I had diarrhea three weeks ago.
I'm like a rule today.
This is Murphy, that is a very important distinction to me.
What is loose today could be stiff tomorrow.
You don't know.
That's a Latin above this corner of here.
It's all about your fiber intake that day.
Yeah.
Or if you're like me and you haven't had vegetables in a while,
and then you have a bunch of vegetables,
that stuff will clean you out.
Mm.
Okay.
What I'm going to say is I'm actually going to deviate right now
because right now you're kind of asking almost like for the integrity of the game, right?
Right.
But I think that what's really going on
is you guys came up with a mechanic
that you're having fun with.
The only thing I would ask is,
is the rest of the table having fun with it?
Right.
And if the answer is yes,
all of us are having fun with it,
then I don't think you need to worry
have you gone too far. That's right. We're doing something that all you guys are having fun with., then I don't think you need to worry have you gone too far.
We're doing something that all you guys are having fun with.
Just think ask the folks that almost got TPK'd.
Exactly.
If they love the fun,
yeah, if they would rather be TP.
I know we all love the poop check.
Wait, we love it.
We all just love the P.C.R.X. poop check.
We all agree, you're down very fun.
I just think, like, cool.
I just say though that it's really fun that it's a Clarex
because usually we get like bad rugs, bad poutin.
I love that we're getting this little Clarex
who's like, well, but they're not bad.
They're just like, yeah, we're not Clarex.
What an interesting nuanced character
that they're like, I really want to help out the party
and take huge dumps.
Yeah.
I think this person, that is a good character flaw.
It literally, they have weak vowels, but a strong heart.
It's a cool character arc to be like,
the one thing I couldn't heal was my gut.
Whoa!
They're good health, right?
They're looking for a mystical kombucha
that will magically heal their biome.
Then a greater restoration doesn't understand
what's wrong with my gut.
The problem with gamifying things like shitting yourself
is that the 20-sided die,
everything just has too good of a chance of happening.
Like a five percent chance of a critical failure.
Which on a shithole is going to be shitting yourself.
You don't shit yourself five percent of the days.
I also want to go back to what Merced Edwitch is that,
if you needed to shit, you wouldn't
leave.
You wouldn't not be in the fight.
You just would be in the fight but have shit yourself.
Totally.
Because that's your choice.
Stakes like that, you wouldn't be like, excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
Yeah.
There's this historical precedent for this.
Right.
Hitting yourself.
Yeah.
People weren't on the fucking battlefield
in the full armor being like, hang on a sec guys
and going over and taking like a dump
and then wiping their ass.
Yeah.
I never thought about how long it takes to doff armor.
Yes.
Right, oh yeah, you can't doff it off.
Yeah, yeah.
You can't, you can't doff it off.
You can't doff it off.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I think most times the cod piece would just extend around and would just like catch the poop underneath there. You can't, you can't do it. You can't do it. You can't do it. You can't do it. You can't do it. You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it.
You can't do it. You can't do it. You can't do it. You go use the restroom. They can choose to ship themself.
Yeah, it seems like they kinda want to ship themself.
Yeah, they're movement speed.
Yeah.
There's, it's like a cleric.
Let me lay on his.
Like, oh, no, no, no, no.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, how, how funny could it possibly be like the 10th time this happens?
Yeah.
Like during this, I think that's the reason Chris was time this happens. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the reason Krispy is writing to us.
Yeah.
It's because again, the first time
and they're like, this will be so funny
at the end of every day, we'll do like a shit check.
Well, what we don't know is what happens on an app 20.
What sort of miraculous shit did they take?
I've had those shits.
Yeah, that's a no-wiper.
I think we've all had an app 20.
That's a no-wiper.
It's the Houdini shit.
Yeah. It's so perfect that it goes down the fucking toilet with that.
Guys, thank you so much for watching it for the ever video DNA for it.
I want to shout out Jake for being like, all right, our first ever video recording.
Shit, what's up with that?
She hit her feet right in minutes.
It's about the legendary Holyborn.
I think so to answer Chris B. The question.
I know.
To answer Chris B's question.
We always got to weed out people
whenever we start in a new medium.
Yeah, you have gone too far, Chris B.
This has gone too far.
Yeah.
You don't need to game a fight,
shitting yourself.
If the cleric wants to shit themselves that bad,
they could just shit themselves.
Sure. Also, if they shit themselves,
they should still be getting in that fight.
Yeah.
Are we ruling with Chris B.
Chris B.
Or the Chris B.
Sorry, with Shitty or Chris B.
Chris B.
And the cleric are both guilty.
I don't think we're good.
I know, okay.
We're ruling with the party that was almost to be kid.
Right, we're ruling with the party.
Although we don't know what their dynamics are.
Krispy asked, did I go too far?
And the answer is yes.
Yes.
Yeah, I think you did.
Because I think,
yeah, Krispy, you went too far.
Krispy, sorry, Krispy.
Come on now.
We've all gotten excited about mechanics
and put them in the game
and then we have to live and die by those mechanics.
Everyone in agreement that the ship mechanics are a flawed. Yeah, flawed to begin with. Flood, because you should be able to live and die by those mechanics. Everyone in agreement that the ship mechanics are a flawed.
Yeah, flawed to begin with.
Flood, because you should be able to fight and chit.
If anything, you might not have ever fought here.
Not if you've gone too far, but they're flawed to be here.
But they're flawed.
Yeah.
If you have to poop that bad, then it doesn't require
a concentration.
Yeah.
It's also, can I just say the fact that when you first said
crispy buns, I pictured sort of like some toasted buns
that you're gonna eat for a chicken on.
But now in the context of talking about shit this much,
crispy buns.
We have ruined our first-
I'm thinking about that.
Yeah, that's the opposite.
We have ruined.
And I feel about that we displayed it on the TV the entire time.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's some crap.
There's some crap. The artist rendering of the entire time. Yeah. Yeah. There's some crap. There's some crap.
Yeah.
Uh, the artist rendering of the crispy buns.
So everyone is against crispy.
Oh, I know what their punishment is.
Oh.
They have to put on a full set of medieval armor in this.
And then kick themselves.
That's perfect.
There's precedent for this.
We have made people don armor before.
You can don it on, but you can't drop it off.
You can't.
There's no time to be sloppy.
Don't.
Don.
Yeah.
Can't sit off.
Yeah.
All right, cool.
So you are sentenced to shitting yourself
in medieval armor.
The whole party's going to be there, right?
They're going to be watching.
Yeah.
If they want.
We need to let this party decide what is that.
I love the idea of crispy and this garlic just thinking it's so funny and everyone else just don't face sitting at the table.
Yeah.
Oh, I love the idea that it's like a super serious party.
That's like, we actually have a very strategic game plan in which if the cleric isn't there,
but I guess you guys want to go for it.
Yeah, they're so serious.
They're not going to like this punishment either.
Yeah, so seriously we're not gonna like this punishment either. Yeah, so many at the tip somebody at the tables
Just like this Revenant was my father the whole time
My I present you to the demon on Sushi Shush! Shit my son! What are you fucking tidal waves, my fucking ass! Oh!
The DMs are like, yeah, you didn't want to even fart in this room!
Oh my butt!
My butt from the farts!
Okay, so ordered.
So absolutely ordered.
Our next case comes from Tom,
who does not address the court at all,
they just get right into it.
All right, Tom, appreciate it.
Hold the view.
I feel, Ned, but I like it.
Yeah, Tom is desperate.
Thanks for keeping it brief.
Tom needs an answer, Tom writes,
my friend keeps playing as children.
Okay.
Oh, you're so cute.
Yeah.
May please the grandiose judges and a beautiful bailiff.
My friends have been playing D&D for a couple of years now and we often break up our main
campaign with one shots every now and then with everyone still putting in effort into
their one shot backstories and characters, all except one, who has repeatedly played
the same type of character, a child who has somehow gotten away from their parents and
is now with the party of adult adventurers.
His characters are usually between the ages of seven and 11
and have names like George or Nancy.
They always are split from the setting of the campaign
and often involve him roleplaying them
as 21st century children.
Before almost-
Some people, some people the way they make the indie characters
is like an insight into something you don't want to know about them.
There's always a shit cleric at the team, listen there.
This is their poop mechanics.
There's also always a poo-poo priest.
Yeah, it's basically, it says from what we're already in for.
After multiple times, it's happened I'm sick of having to worry about protecting a child on the battlefield
and everyone's shot.
Am I wrong to be annoyed about it?
That's right.
It's safe.
Open and shut Tom, you're right.
You're right.
Yeah.
I do think, because we would even have that.
Luckily, I think the way we played Beverly,
Beverly was like 16 or something, but there is that element
of especially when you're playing characters who are like, if anyone was ever like, I'm 12 or something, but there is that element of especially when you're playing characters who are like if anyone was ever like
I'm 12 or something. It just everything is weird now. Every time you have a fight with a bandit or something
You're like oh this bandit just punched a kid
My name is Nancy why'd you punch?
I think if you're gonna play a kid you you gotta make it, that's when you gotta
make it the most, the toughest fucking
most badass fighter possible.
So, Leonna, right?
Like, yeah, yeah.
That's a 12 year old that can exist in Anakin
and also only once.
Yeah.
If you like, skate through on the character like that,
then you play again, right?
Yeah, yeah.
This time I'm George, I'm 11.
That was a camp.
And also, I was separated from my parents' part.
It's wild.
You get to suddenly, like, well now we have to be your parents
I guess.
I'm trying to, okay, let's play Devil's Advocate here.
Right.
What is this person trying to, what are they trying to get?
They are an adult who is tired of the
The demands and responsibilities of being an adult. They are using their D&D sessions to escape personal responsibility
Which is kind of just a little weird for the other people. Yes. Yes. Yes. I
A lot of people do that like I escape in D&D. Yeah, it's weird to be like my escape
It is our it's already child like play my escape. It is, or it's already child-like play.
Yes, it's a world of wonder.
Yeah.
I would also be six.
D&D can be therapeutic.
I don't think it should be therapy.
Ah, absolutely.
I like it.
Thank you.
Yeah, put that on a cross-stitch.
There we go.
Put it up there.
Yeah, the rest of it.
I don't know.
Solid shit one.
I think that you can it can be it can be
Aspirational as aspirational it can be aspirational it can be
The cleric was aspirational, but don't bring in something that you're personally working
Right, I do I wonder if
This is again doing a very favorable read of the situation because I think they're probably just trolling you
doing a very favorable read of the situation because I think they're probably just trolling you.
They could want like their type of fantasy
could be like stranger kids,
stranger things, stranger kids.
I love strangers.
I love strangers.
I love strangers.
My favorite off-friend show.
Yeah.
This is a little bit more.
Try those kids, you had to.
Yeah, it's on that.
Which is all the kids, all the kids are smoking cigars
and they're just like, where the hell's Billy?
Yeah.
Oh, I love Maggie Bobby.
Yeah.
Where's number 12?
What are you doing?
You don't win.
Dixie Baramins on number 12.
How much did Danny Gorgon?
All the kids are played by 30 year olds
so they can work them way harder.
They all just have reasons to do this.
They get around five or five months or longer.
We're all at the tune of these kids.
They're not an actor, they don't need school.
They don't need school.
I just wear a little tiny kid.
I didn't go to school anyway, but I wouldn't need it even if I did.
It's the first TV show based entirely around knockoff Halloween costumes.
Anyway, they might like that sort of
earthbound slash like stranger things of that like you know
uh... in fact i believe there's an rpg or tt rpg called kids on bike yeah that
that that's that type of thing that like summer camp yeah vibe that's what
that would be the good read on it but i'm still saying that's still weird
that's probably not the can you know that probably not it's the multiple times
it's the multiple times that's weird that this guy probably and that's still weird. Can I just, that's probably not the key to this. No, that's probably not the key. It's the multiple times.
It's the multiple times that's weird.
This guy probably, and that's why you're right,
say that he's trolling them.
Yeah.
It's getting, it's getting funnier each time.
It doesn't get you.
Oh, could be trolling.
Now this person's even trolling her.
And they're from Indianapolis.
But it also could be like a weird thing.
I think it's something that maybe if they aren't trolling you
could be like, hey, what if you play a character who actually had
more agency and could sort of contribute as a peer rather than be a
dependent. Yeah, you could do something like that and just but do it like in game
almost. Like start babying the kid in a way that
Oh, like the kid gloves on. Also, like to give me a nice kid.
I'm so sorry.
Who gave a 11 year old George a weapon?
Oh, you're so cute.
Here, it's iPad.
Let's do screen time for you.
Yeah.
We're going to allow screen time.
We stop at a tab and they're like, we actually do, do
daycare for adventurers.
We find a lot of them coming from land.
Yeah, because we have little nants here.
A general rule for your character should be
that if a cold balled punched them,
it wouldn't be that weird.
There you go.
Wow.
Put that on the wall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we're punishing Jeff Togold. We're punishing Tom's friend. They have to play their next character as Jeff Togold.
There you go, that's 200-year-old.
200-year-old Togold.
You have to play Beverly's
Rizzled Old Younger Brother.
But he dressed as like a little boy.
Yeah.
But also, I mean, you could ask the party.
It also is like you're creating a party together.
If the party, maybe the party's into it.
But it says the DM's not.
The DM's the one that's gotta put all those challenges out.
So they're the ones who have to be like,
I have the thing is Dandee, you know,
if it's an 11 year old, just fucking, you know, punch him.
Whoa.
It is, yeah.
It is, yeah.
It is, it is.
It is not real.
It's true, it's not real.
This is your friend who's trolling you.
Yeah, yeah.
That's your 11 year old after our country party.
You are staring at an adult.
You can punch their character.
Yeah, you can definitely punch Jeff Togold.
He was made to be punched.
All right, our next case comes from Theo.
Theo E and Theo writes,
may it please the court and satisfy the bailiff?
Wow.
How you feeling?
I feel satisfied.
Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't call after the question comes out. The Baylif. Wow. I feel satisfied. Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
We're waiting till after the question comes out.
At least, in satisfied.
I went in feeling satisfied by our last question.
I bring to you the case of the frozen Teflin Girl Front.
A while back, I was playing a 5B campaign with my friends.
I played a Revenant cleric named Vigil, and I met a Teflin named Alark while in a town.
We had a bit of a romance and ended up kissing in front of a fountain.
That fell in.
Just huge, sassy stuff.
Friends style.
Yeah.
Hey.
I don't want to go down, I don't want to go down.
They didn't invent falling in Fountain's man.
Yes, they did.
Name one other person who fell in a fountain.
Fuck.
Yeah.
It's over.
It's credited candler being.
I actually one time did fall in a mini golf fountain.
Really? Really?
Was it a meat cube?
No, I went full leg in.
Like I stepped back, tripped over some bricks,
went full leg into a thing, and then got out.
So I wouldn't get yelled at by my dad,
and my dad just turned around and I was soaking wet.
That's not the worst.
He was just like, I can't do it.
Also, I feel like the water at Minigolf's is like stained blue.
Oh, it was, it's a soft, ruined, yeah.
That's a cesspool.
Yeah, but I think I had some like green air walks on
or something. Oh gosh.
Yeah. It's like the same color.
It's the weird.
I feel like everyone has a tale about like getting wet in front of their dad
They're dad being upset about it. I
Jumped in my my aunt's hot tub one time and like all my clothes. It was like a really rebellious of me
And my dad was not happy and I had to ride home from Memphis wet
Never been wet in front of my dad
Put this man on the stand. I don't know if I've been wet in front of my dad. What? You guys are going to be wet in front of my dad. Put this man on the stand. I don't know if I've been wet in front of my dad.
These fucking guys problems.
Sorry.
All right.
We're going to table this.
I guess I'm just too well behaved.
We're good.
Me and Emily were good kids.
I am the bad judge.
So we'll end just keep sappy stuff and then fade to black.
However, one of my friends wanted to freeze the water while we were under it as a prank.
I didn't want my character to get too stuck, so I asked our DM if we could do a check
to stand up beforehand, so at least it would just be our legs that were stuck.
My friend accused me of metagaming, and the DM ended up agreeing, and my character almost
died.
This is a bad prank.
It ended up fine.
But after that session,
three people quit and the DM ended up ending the campaign.
Whoa.
My question was, wasn't really metting gaming.
And should I have not spoken out?
Wait,
none of this.
Theos,
Oh my god.
I think this game,
yeah, Theos like,
my question is,
wasn't really metting gaming? No, none of this should have happened. Not a single secret or has it. I think this game, yeah, Theo is like, my question is, was it really medicaming?
No, none of this should have happened.
Not a single sequence, we're having this.
What I have is, three people quit and the DM,
there must have been a blow up,
like a blow up after this.
Yeah.
So we are not getting the full story,
I don't know, yeah.
This seems like the final straw on the camel's back.
I'm wondering what else happened.
Is it possible that this romantic little encounter
was stealing the romantic interest from someone else?
A true angle?
Oh, I don't know.
I mean, three spouts in the fountain.
Yeah.
I think freezing someone in the fountain
and almost killing them is weird.
I can see doing it,
but I can see doing it as a prank just to be like,
oh, we're all having a silly moment,
I'll freeze you guys,
but then committing to it so hard that there are.
Something happened after the initial freeze, I think.
Well, it's a prank.
I'm gonna stand up, you're metagaming.
Yeah, like, do we think that they just wanted to do
a silly prank then when they stood up that the person was like, I'm gonna stand up, you're a metagaming. And like, do we think that they just wanted to do a silly prank then when they stood up
that the person was like, fuck you,
trying to metagame my silly prank,
now I'm gonna become serious.
Yeah, I think so.
I think that's what happened.
I think that's super tense.
Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm really pranked seriously. Oh my God. Yeah, here's, wow.
Yeah, because it is, I mean, I guess it's metagaming
a little bit to be like, can I get out of the way
of this thing, but presumably whatever spells
should have a save, you don't just get to freeze.
It doesn't say specifically what spellers,
it just like, try to freeze the water.
Just try to freeze the water.
Just try to freeze the water.
Is it possible, Theo, that you were having a good time?
Your friends were like, let's get in on this good time.
And then you were like, no, no, no, this is my good time.
And then maybe that's why they went to medigaming.
Is it possible?
Someone got pissy.
I don't know who got pissy,
but someone definitely got a little pissy in the fountain.
I think, yeah, I don't know. I'my, but someone definitely got a little pissy in the fountain. I think, yeah, I don't know.
I'm obviously going to side with you here.
Yeah, I think this seems like a wild thing for you to get in.
The fact that three people quit.
That's highly fountain based.
Okay, let's, should we try to roleplay how we think this great?
I've got a dance, I've blown up.
I love it.
Okay, so what is everyone, who's everyone going to play? I'm going that. I blown up. I love it. Okay.
Oh wait, okay.
What is everyone, who's everyone gonna play?
I'm gonna, I'm not gonna play one of the,
I'm gonna play one of the outside characters.
I need to try to, I can play the DM.
Why?
I just went so poorly.
I'll be the DM.
I'll play the, the fountain tiefling.
You'll, you'll play the, you'll play Theo.
Yes.
Okay, and then Jake, you're gonna play the person who,
um, tried to freeze. Okay, great. And, um, Emily, you're gonna play the person who tried to freeze.
And Emily, you're gonna play one of the people
at the table that quits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, great.
I think I've come up with a character.
I understand.
We know all of our characters who is the quitting player
that we are.
I'm playing a paladin.
I'm playing a paladin.
All right, so let me set the scene.
Okay.
So, Theo, you are here with Lark,
who you guys are making out.
We've got Chandler being nearby.
We've got Monica nearby.
Everyone's playing around in the fountain.
You guys roll over into the fountain as you kiss.
Haha.
Wait a second, they roll over into the fountain.
They roll over into the fountain.
The fountain erected in the honor of Moriden.
The God I have devoted my life to.
You're going to frolic in the fountain of Moriden.
Emily, why are you doing this?
You insult our pallidate!
You insult the God from when my smile? It's derived?
Tell him that I can do this.
Tell him this is fine.
I cast Freeze Water.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
I step up.
I step up on top of the fountain.
Okay.
I bring water with me.
Hey, hey, no, no, no.
No, you can't do that because that's metagaming.
You have not seen this.
You're in the water right now.
Yes.
You're fucking getting out of here.
You're at a ninthth level free water level.
I'm sitting adulterer.
That's gonna kill water.
I haven't seen it for a second.
Dude, dude, hey, dude.
Yeah, we're trying to play a game right now.
I'm at DM.
This doesn't sound like the fucking game to me.
Was he gonna give me it me?
Okay, was he gonna give me it me?
I'm not gonna give you it.
This party has to be this whole thing.
You were the game with Larry Session,
that's right.
I know about that, James.
I know, okay.
That session where I couldn't make it
because I have a double-shifted apple beast.
I know that he cheated on Locke with me, dude.
I heard about it, okay?
Fucking hurt.
Okay, your character did not hear about that.
That is also made a gaming.
Okay, as someone who is actually currently,
I'm just gonna speak out of turn
as someone who's playing a paladin
and working through my Catholic guilt.
This is actually trespassing on some of the stuff.
Emily, again with this shit.
I'm sorry, it's just like,
I'm bringing in my personal baggage
to work out at this table.
And right now, this is complicating it for me.
Yeah, yeah, I'm out, I quit D&D.
I'm gonna have to quit. All right, you know what? That's fine, just, I've been. I quit D&D. I'm gonna have to quit.
All right, you know what?
That's fine, just I've been wanting to DM anyway,
so anyone that wants to join my table
where people can make out with whoever they want
and figure out just like what their deal is at the table
and if they wanna take a shit, they can take a shit,
come to my house.
Can I play a three year old?
And.
And.
Okay, I think we know what we're in for.
We know what happens. We know what's going to happen.
We're off course on the other side here.
I also like Paladins. I was just trying to do a silly bit.
I was trying to do a silly bit and Yeah. So I would take it personally.
I was trying to do a silly bit.
And it was also a call back to how Carl Will said,
it should be therapeutic, not therapy.
That's why I went there.
We were just playing characters.
It was a silly bit.
It was silly bit.
It was just a silly bit.
Just a silly bit.
We were just having fun.
We were, what's the punishment for Theo's table?
Theo's table?
Well, they all already broke up.
They have to get back together.
How about, all right.
They have to get back together.
Terrible fate.
They have to have like,
oh, we actually, I'm making it too fun.
I'm making it too fun.
Okay. I think I got it.
They have to get back together
and play a session in a fountain.
Oh, wait, you're on electronics. Is that not plugged in? Not plugged in. Oh, with your electronics.
Is that not plugged in?
Not plugged in.
I don't want it.
It's gonna electrocute it.
I just want your stuff to get ruined.
I want your phone.
Yeah, you're gonna have to wear goggles
because when you roll that D20,
you're gonna have to get under.
Yeah, I see what.
And the very goggles is kind of a good thing.
And the goggles.
And the goggles.
Listen, I'm a gaggle gal.
Look at that. I'm gonna be a gaggle gal. For at that. I'm going to say, I'm going to gaggle gal.
Everyone watching the video at home, you'll see Emily
was wearing her goggles right now.
Get in the gaggle gal and when me and the gaggle gal
is get together, we are a gaggle of gaggle gal.
It's a problem.
We have to ask her to take off the goggles
before we record and she refuses a lot of times.
Yeah, she just giggling.
She's a giggling gaggle gal.
I think it'd be really cool to have fountain
that instead of money, you toss D20s into it.
Oh, okay.
Should we, should we thought of fountain?
Yeah, when we do a nad come,
we'll put a fountain in the little,
that's from Mary, a new Patreon stretch goal.
Yeah.
We're saving up for fountain.
We're building a town square.
Oh, wouldn't that be scary though to look out
and see all the different, like,
see one area and be like, oh my God, there's a lot of sub five rolls over there. Oh, wouldn't that be scary though to look out and see all the different like see one area and be like oh my god
There's a lot of sub five rolls of
They like you do like a little wish
So you throw a dice in there and then you look down you see the
I'm gonna be make a
Oh, you know
You know we could do to make this punishment even worse. Okay, we could combine it with the first punishment
The person who has to shit in their armor
is also in the fountain.
That's nice.
Oh, I think he's the best.
I think he's the best.
Yeah, he got to go play D&D in the shit fountain.
Right.
And let's put the eleven you're on the fountain too.
Why not?
Yeah, they go.
It's making weird.
It's making weird.
All right.
It's just silly fun.
Cool.
So ordered.
This episode of NADPOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs.
There are 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.
Luckily, Bird Dogs has made the decision
of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier. Bird Dog's 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.
To get yours and a free Yeti-style tumbler, go to birddogs.com slash papa or enter promo
code papa at checkout.
That's birddogs.com slash pop-off or promo code pop-off for a free Yeti-style Tumblr.
You won't want to take your bird dogs off, we promise you.
Okay, that's it for me, go team pants, and enjoy the show.
Uh, our next...
Thank you.
Our next case. You can put it closer.
No, no, no, I feel like for staging it's better there.
Our next case come from Brenton C.
Brenton writes.
Okay.
Brenton C.
Maligan.
Nice.
Love that.
Budget Brendan.
Hey.
Hey, reference to our friend, Brendan Lee Mock.
Very good call to us.
The showrunner for Strange Kids.
Yeah.
Honorable judges and BB Baylif.
I present the case of the bubbled wizard.
Okay.
When I was a fledgling DM,
I was nearing the end of a short campaign
that I was running for my friends
and I had them enter a castle
that immediately flew thousands of feet in the air,
creating a cool set piece for the final fight
against the BBEG wizard.
Love it.
This sounds fun.
It sounds like it's on fledgling.
End of case.
This rule.
Incredible.
A happy ending.
At the beginning of my shooting cleric.
At the beginning of what was.
At the beginning of what was supposed to be
a multi-staged epic boss fight,
one of my players tosses a beat of force at the BBEG, trapping them in a giant force field bubble.
They then casually rolled the BBG out of a window to fall to his death.
To counter this admittedly hilarious move, I had the BBEG cast Fly to save themselves,
which then led to an over an hour of heated back and forth arguing about
flying in a force field, atmospheric crosswinds, and the terminal velocity of a wizard in a
bubble.
Fed up with the bickering, I finally gave in and said that the wizard dies by falling, ending
what had been an interesting campaign on a dull note.
The players were very unhappy with this outcome, even though it was what they had been arguing
for for the last hour. Was I wrong?
Oh my God, people don't know what they want, they don't know what's best for them.
Was I wrong for wanting the fight to continue in an interesting way?
Should I have not given into my players I am at your mercy?
There is also a PS that I will read after.
Oh, okay.
Okay, okay, I need someone to look up beat of force because I need to-
Yes, I want to know the mechanics of this because I will say usually when we record a home
I can look it up on my computer, but I didn't bring it first things first you want your BB-EG to have legendary resistances
You do not want I you want that your players to have to work to have a big ending like this that at least that way you get a few rounds of
a big ending like this, that at least that way, you get a few rounds of terrifying BBEG
before they put them in a bead and throw them out of a castle,
which would be a fun ending.
That happening right away isn't ideal, obviously.
Wow, that was just a really nice piece of DM advice.
Usually we just like really say,
we really just talk about shit and stuff.
And that was just really great.
You know I'm nuance.
I'm like a cleric that also shit some shit.
You have good shit and bad shit.
Okay, so the beat of force, you can use an action to throw the beat up to 60 beat.
The beat explodes on impact, nice sound effect.
And is destroyed from the goggle gal.
It's creature within a 10 foot radius of where the bead landed must succeed on a DC
deck save, legendary resistance.
Yeah, I'll say got it.
A sphere of transparent force then encloses the area for one minute.
Any creature that failed to save and is completely within the area is trapped inside the sphere.
That does have a sphere.
Creatures that succeed on the save, that doesn't matter.
Only breathable air can pass through the sphere's wall, no attack or other effect can, and
enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere's wall, moving the sphere
up to half the creature's walking speed.
Okay, so can he move?
The sphere can be picked up, and its magic causes it to weigh only one pound, regardless
of the weight of the creatures inside.
Oh, that's smooth.
If you succeed, are you still, you're not in the bead, right? Partially within the area, and are pushed away from the center of the weight of the creatures inside. So if you succeed, are you still, you're not in the bead, right?
Partially within the area and are pushed away
from the center of the space.
Got it, so you get pushed.
You get pushed, yeah.
Okay, now look up fly.
Could you cast fly?
It has to be a creature, right?
So you could cast fly on the thing.
So you could cast fly on yourself, right?
You could find yourself.
And it's only one pound.
Yes.
You could push it. You could push it and be carrying the cage. Definitely. And it's only one pound. Yeah, presumably you could push it. You could push it.
And me carrying the cage, the cage is only one pound.
It's a bubble.
So I think what happens here is that if you're going to rule
for something that seems unfavorable to your players,
you need to just lay down the law and just be like,
that's it guys, no more arguing.
There's no, as soon as you have an hour argument, you already lost. Right, that is true. You need to just like instantly be like, that's it guys, no more arguing. There's no, as soon as you have an hour argument,
you already lost.
Right, that is true.
You need to just like instantly be like,
no, he's casting fly, he can cast fly.
More than 10 minutes.
Yeah, no outcome is good.
It weighs one pound, right?
Like, if I can fly, but I'm in,
and I'm standing in like,
you know, like those, oh, this is like a,
this is gonna be like an industry thing.
They make like a little pop-up tents
for you to change your costume in.
Oh, like when you go to the beach.
But if I were, if I were in a tent, right,
let's just say a tent, if I were in a tent
and I cast fly on myself, I could just fly around.
You could fly with that fly with a tent.
I'm like, a tent on a tent.
Yeah, if you're in a freaking Coleman,
you can just fly around with it.
Yeah, I'm gonna say you fly around with a big tent.
Yeah, yeah, you're good. Full-size tent. A family tent gonna say you fly around with a big 10. Yeah, you're good.
Full size 10.
A family 10.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, gosh, yeah.
Must do that all the time.
Yeah.
Back in the scouts.
The other thing I will say is that you can,
situations like this where you just,
your players really get ya and you don't want to take
the wind out of their sales, which it sounds like this
situation very much happened.
They came up with a clever plan. You didn't have legendary resistances. don't want to take the wind out of their sales, which it sounds like this situation very much happened.
They came up with a clever plan.
You didn't have legendary resistances, so you got put in this position.
What I would do is I would kind of cook it, but make it seem like a role matters, where
I'd set the, I'd make it very hard for things to not turn out my way.
I'd be like, you fall, I believe you fall 600 feet per round.
So I'd say, okay, you can only cast fly as an action.
We're gonna see how high up this wizard's tower is.
It's going to be, I'm gonna roll a D100.
It's that times whatever.
And you find out how many feet it is.
And if it's more than 600,
then he does indeed get an action to fly back up.
And then it feels buttoned up.
You've used the mechanics to your advantage.
That way you can sort of,
if your players are arguing with you,
you could be like, I've showed you're my notes.
Yep, right. This is how it works.
Look at that.
Yet another nugget of wisdom from the ass brain of our deans.
Is there, is this like, part of me also feels like this move is so game changing?
That I'm like, a little wonder, obviously I know that it ended sourly, but I think if
I were sitting there, ask that DM, I might be like, all right, dude, fucking flies away.
You can, like, we're setting up a rematch.
Right.
That, like, this move feels so big
and game changing without actually destroying you.
Because how long does it let, like a minute?
Fly away.
Yeah, fly away.
You can ransack his castle, find out a bunch of shit about him.
Well, it's, it sounds like the whole argument was basically
just, players came up with this cool idea.
Yeah.
Instacilled the BBEG or thought they did.
Yeah.
DM rules against it essentially.
He says, no, he's gonna cast fly and it's gonna come up.
Right.
Then they argue and then the DM goes, okay, no,
you guys can have your way, which just leaves nobody happy.
Yeah. Yeah. So I would say, unfortunately, I think I am going to roll against this DM, though I do,
I do sympathize with you. I see how you got into this situation. It's tough. You're just trying
to please your players. Yeah. But sometimes players got to eat their vegetables. That's right.
I think like when you're a player a player, if your DM is like,
this doesn't work, you're like,
oh, it's because they have something fun planned.
Yeah.
And I want to stick around for the fun.
Right.
Yeah.
You also could have been like, oh, the ball rolls
or the bead rolls off of the castle
and bashes into a bunch of stuff on the way down.
It's going to do this much damage,
or he's going to fall for, you know,
X amount of damage or something like that
instead of having to be like an insta kill.
To wizard, I'm trying to think of like,
I mean, the wizard could have featherfall, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, you can have a ring at the very least.
And it's only one pound.
Does that, does, does,
but one pound?
Is that, have you,
does that even reach terminal velocity?
It's a bubble.
I think everything reaches terminal velocity.
Yeah, of course. I know, no, I know. The that even reach terminal velocity? It's a bubble. I think everything reaches terminal velocity. Yeah.
No, I know.
The only solution reaches terminal velocity.
I have the faith, Jake, and I was sitting here
being like, would it?
No, it's just witty.
Maybe it wouldn't hit us hard.
It's only a pound.
Yeah, no, they'll both fall at the same speed.
Sweet, let's, it's all about hitting it.
Let's go ahead and hit it.
Oh, I know.
What if, what if you could just,
okay, here's what you actually should have done.
You should have just been like,
surprise bitch, a bunch of birds come along.
And that would have ended the argument right there.
Let me just roll this if there's any birds in this.
Oh my God, is that a three bird?
No, I can't believe it.
No, you're right.
Yeah, bonus points if like your players met some birds
at a previous point in the campaign and the friend of them
Like this is where Kaka Kaka comes back folks. Yeah, Kaka gets absolutely murdered
Yeah, so even though this DM is getting punished the PS does say shortly after I did what judge Murphy will probably advise and found new friends
They are much better to me as friends and players
They are much better to me as friends and players
Players are being yeah, man now I feel bad you should have read the
No, the so yeah, but like the players really shouldn't be arguing over this is a complicated one right because it does sound like
For your BBEG you did do some things wrong you should have played down the law and you should have had legendary resistances. However, if the player wrote this in,
if the player wrote this in and was like,
hey, this happened, I argued with my DM for an hour.
Am I right?
I would say no.
So the answer to everyone's quest,
everyone is wrong in the scenario.
You know what I mean?
Something bad happened, the table was broken.
Right.
Like what you ended up doing is a guy who needed to have it.
You're really D&D-wise, everyone here was wrong, but socially, the person who submitted
this, this DM is correct.
They're just trying to play a game and be nice to their friends and they gave in because
their friends really wanted this thing.
Yeah.
So do we have to sentence them?
I think after that nice piece
that we should have read up for.
How about we sentence them to a fucking delicious dinner
with fucking murder.
Can I cook?
Jacob's a cook of dinner for me.
It has to be delicious.
Holy fucking dinner. By Jake Herwitz.
Wow, that's great.
With Brian Murphy there.
I like the candles.
Yeah, I'm there to take a picture of you and Brian.
Here's the punishment.
Here's the punishment.
I'll watch by at one point and says,
when you're about to take a selfie and says,
oh, you want me to take that?
I'm always here.
He's busing the table.
That's right.
I mean, disguise.
I'm wearing a lot of prosthetics.
And the punishment is we have to listen
to the pre-PS audio.
Oh.
That's where we're saying all the things that they did wrong.
And it's ever really awkward.
Yeah.
So we have to have an awkward dinner, unfortunately.
And then after dinner, even the player.
That's a cake cook.
And I do deserve to cook it because I know the PS.
Yeah, a little punishment for Jake.
I'm gonna learn how to cook for this.
I just pictured going to a restaurant.
They're like, great treat and store food tonight.
My friend Jake is cooking.
Okay.
Oh, I hope you're like brownies.
Yeah.
Who do you know, from the dinner?
The scent of burnt brownies.
Actually, that's that.
Okay, cool, so ordered.
I legitimately feel better.
Yeah, because also it's like they got
new friends who are nicer to them.
So if we didn't get from this question
that your friends were being super awful to you,
right?
Honestly, Murf, work it all out at the dinner at your internet.
I'm gonna, I've got a lot of things.
It's gonna be a long dinner because I'm not gonna like timing shit.
Okay.
So the app is gonna be bad and we're gonna see you.
Yeah.
And then the dinner is gonna come out too late.
And then the dessert's gonna come out when you're in the middle of dinner.
Yeah, exactly.
And the drinks come out at the end.
That's the worst part of the order I've ever heard.
And I'm going to be dressed as a waiter, clearing out the other tables, because it's clearly
time for the restaurant to close.
And I'm going to play the violin, and I don't know how to play the violin.
And here's the PS.
And here's the PS.
And this is the PS.
Okay, so ordered, and now we have our final question,
case, which is actually a confession.
Okay.
Oh.
For anyone watching the video,
we have, we're donning the road.
We're donning the road.
Yes.
Do you wanna do that again without my feet on the table?
I don't wanna get in the way.
Actually, here, put your foot on the table.
This is so much, too many visual gaps. Yes. Let's start in the way. Actually, here put your foot on the table. Too many visual gaps.
Guys, let's watch from the way.
You're a real dude.
You're a real dude.
A group.
Our roots.
That's right.
Sorry.
I was getting rady for the tube.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, do check us out on YouTube though.
If you want to see them.
We don't know that we're going to have to be a team.
We don't even know.
We don't even know.
Just Google it.
Look it up.
All right.
This confession is from Chris Y. Chris writes, to the mighty and fit bay lift slash oath
keeper slash justice Wrangler Jake.
Wow.
Justice Wrangler.
Justice Wrangler.
That's a brand of jeans.
And I'm wise that I need to be wrangled.
Never.
And the kind of but stern justices slash cardinals
of the Holy Church.
Oh, there we go.
Thank you.
I have a confession.
When I first began DMing, I made a transgression fueled
by a bad habit.
The bad habit is by.
This is saliciously enticing to begin with.
The bad habit is buying exotic and non-standard dice.
The transgression is that I would use a D30 instead of a D20
to try to make the game more challenging.
I've since learned my lesson,
but it's still ways heavy on my soul.
I didn't even know a D30 existed.
D30 did I?
I guess.
It sounds like you've already punished yourself.
But does it, it makes it more difficult?
Okay, no, no, no.
I think that, I think that, no.
You've seen your hubris.
No, you're right, because that only really helps you.
There's more numbers.
No, but it's not.
Because I was thinking, because I have the problem that I feel like very specifically
when I DM for Murf. I always roll really.
She really beats me up.
I always, and I've been thinking about what to do,
how to like, I feel like anytime you have a spell save I make.
Yeah, that's true.
And it's specifically Murph,
and I've been thinking about like, I have like a,
I have like a, I have a dice that I'm like,
cooking on one.
That's gonna be my Murph dice,
because I don't wanna keep cream in my husband.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Whoa!
So I was thinking, oh, they're trying to make it harder
for them to have a critical success,
but I realized that if it's for everybody,
then it's fair, right?
It's even playing ground.
But if you have a D30 and then you're rolling to hit
and you get a 25 to hit, that's insane. Yeah, this is also blasphemy, right? For
Dice-Cris. Yeah, because this is worse. This is not an A1 through 20. Yeah, you know what I mean?
I'm not a poet. I would experiment with one through 30. That's an A1 through 30. That's
an A1. We all have a pauper fee. Please. Let's do the dice for any. Yeah, and they will be.
Okay, please.
That's a six.
You can give it a chuck chest.
A six.
Okay, six is the number of the dice devil.
See, yeah, dice Christ, when you roll with a D30, dice Christ will take away your net
20s.
And that is your joy.
Right?
And you have a net 30, which is something.
What a nat 30, which makes you suffer even more
because the odds, like, one feels even lower.
Yeah, the lows feel lower, the highs don't feel as high.
You're barely getting them 30s.
You're right on that, dude.
There's probably a moment of confusion.
You're like 30.
The fuck does that happen?
This is, but this is word, we're speaking from a place
of this is what we're used to.
This is what we've built up our emotional responses to.
Oh, we built a church on it.
Yeah, there are 20 pillars in this room.
I know, I'm good to remind.
Let's speak of Emily Astor.
Listen, we've all been titty, we've all walked into the
Dice Store and we've seen that D30s so many numbers,
so many sides.
Oh, the possibilities.
What could we roll? But no, no, we know that one through 20 are the numbers, so many sides. Oh, the possibilities. What could we roll?
But no, no, we know that one through 20 are the numbers chosen.
We must get to them.
Should we excommunicate this person?
Oh, that's fun.
Normally, normally, this is for forgiveness.
They have dance, they have dance with the dice devil for sure.
Yeah, however, if they were using the D30 when everyone else
was using the D20, That's some wild shit.
Which is how like 10 roll delicious.
Dice paste forgives all you have confessed.
That's true.
I've seen the error of your ways.
Yeah.
Come back to 20.
And I think you've already punished yourself
because this just sounds weird.
Yeah.
I'm glad you're done.
I imagine rolling in 18 and being like,
eh?
I guess that's okay.
I guess it's okay.
You must have been. I can hold it in my brain. Yeah guess that's okay. You were supposed to be.
I can hold it in my brain.
Yeah.
It's confusing.
It's too many numbers.
This must have been a Zoom campaign though,
because I can't imagine rolling that D30.
And if you're sitting next to the DM,
they're just like, what is that?
Oh, it's a D20.
What's that bouncy ball you have?
You're talking about this, D20.
It's a 47 to hit.
Yeah, that'll do it anyway.
Oh, I crit twice somehow.
All right, you are forgiven.
And with that, I think we will wrap this one up for now.
For now, we get to our Patreon.com slash ad.
Now that's definitely exciting.
That's NADD, POD, don't sing yet.
Don't do it.
Oh, this is our mouths as we sing.
So the bonus cases, we'll be doing,
answering more of your queries.
Where is cases?
Where is cases, confessions.
Where is cases, confessions?
Until then, does anybody have anything they'd like to plug?
We don't have much in front of us.
I'd like to plug our YouTube, which I don't know,
but are we gonna do it on headcombs YouTube or our YouTube?
On our YouTube.
Our theoretical YouTube.
Plug the idea that we might have a YouTube.
Yeah, look at that.
You'll theoretically find it.
You'll find the idea of you being there.
You also don't have to.
Right, okay.
You can just keep on this.
That's why we can't rely too hard on the visual bag.
That's why we can't.
