Short Rest: Trinyvale X Strahd - Ep. 19

The episodes 19 and 20 aren't currently in the Trynivale collection - any quick ways to find them through other areas on patreon?

Hey, did y'all know you're completely missing episodes 19 and 20?

My grandpa and his retired friends used to do that coffee shop thing, they called themselves the old farts coffee clatch and they met at the McDonald's right down the street from my grandpa's house. Every morning at 630, to bitch about the paper and yesterday after they part ways.

Absolute unit is the elite doggo internet era reference

Strahd episode 19 is not on the trinyvale collection list, just ep 19 short rest. Great episodes though!! On the 2nd play-through as they’re all released

I’ve never heard someone pronounce waft and subsequent the way Caldwell does. And I feel like he goes out of his way to use those words often.

Does anyone else have to correct their One Piece brain every time they talk about hockey? I can't stop picturing Murph going red eyed with Haki and just demolishing everyone at hockey.

I can picture leapfrog dunking so vividly. Has an anime already done it? Did Space Jam do it?

Caldwell, to quote Emily quoting James Cameron: "No he didn't". Cameron let Robert Rodriguez direct it, he still produced it thou

Heavy water is water with a heavier isotope of hydrogen. And it’s expensive.

Brennan is doing a great job with running Critical Role as a West Marches game! It's a bit more structured than most, but it's a good place to see the style of game in play.

Murph may not be able to dunk physically, but that won't stop him from dunking on Jake's breathing thing lol

BONG VOYAGE: THE DEATH OF COMMUNITY

I appreciate how much the men of NADDPOD hate on manosphere content. It’s incredibly refreshing

Keep in mind if you learn to dunk, dunking with 2 hands with give you better control of the ball and generally will be easier, but you will have to jump higher. You cannot stretch 2 arms as high as you can stretch 1 at a time. So I’d start with 1 hand. Also you don’t need to palm the ball, just control it. To Caldwells point, if you can’t control the ball due to small hands or something, you can give yourself a lob, but now you have to learn to get that toss consistent. To find how high you need to jump, measure your 1 hand standing reach. Like mine is abt 8 feet if I reach straight up. So I need to jump 2 feet to get to touch the rim, and about 6 or 7 more inches to get my hand with the ball over the rim. Find that reach standing, find how much to touch rim at 10 feet, then add however many more you need for your hand with the ball to clear the top and get over. Possible, but difficult. For Murph id expect he’d have to jump at least 30 inches and some change, depending on his lankiness. Jump a lot to improve, exercise to train explosiveness. Listen to your knees, don’t hurt yourself.

Caldwell, Eels are like sharks and are actually sea puppies that love to be pet and will get protective of their favorite person.

Cumberland Isalnd in GA. :) Maybe do a show in Jacksonville, Fl and then check out the island with wild horses!

I coached high school basketball and you absolutely can lift a player's son to do a dunk like LeBron and Bronny James. It is allowed and not a crime

Shout out to Emily for a SOLID reference to The Consolation of Philosophy by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius

Doodle!!

Still waiting on the mavrus chronicles

There are no rules against throwing your teammate in basketball, but somebody else might need to throw the ball to them or else it could be a travel.

Our group uses When2Meet and I’m the Jeff :(

West Marches games can work better than Caldwell things because once the GM has a world set up, you don't have to worry about timing and scheduling at all. You just keep a consistent game time, and play with whoever shows up. You get a larger stable of players with different schedules, and they all join when they can. Each session is set up as a one-shot self contained adventure, that often ties together with the larger themes and arcs.

regarding medieval people and horses: in the saga of Hrafnkel Frey's Goethi, Hrafnkel swears to kill anyone who rides his beloved horse Freyfaxi, and refers to the horse as his foster child

Sounds like someone was planning to go see LOTR 25th anniversary in theaters this weekend lol

Spud Webb could dunk and he was only 5'7", so you might be able to Murph

The pony island Emily is thinking about is probably Assateague btw

Went back and listened to the Mage Madness saga after the crew mentioned they are doing a show with Zach. Did not remember how much ass Mavrus kicked in that fight. Three seperate life saving counter spells plus he dealt almost 40 damage to two different dudes simultaneously (and that's with both of them passing their saves).

I'm boofing 4 cans of ghost and heading to my local combination Sephora/Home Depot

I feel like they've entered firmly into air bud territory

I'm all here for 2026 being the year of Dunkily Shotsford's awakening. Oh and Murph can try too I guess

Perhaps the Short Rest that has the least relevance to the episode. That said it fucking rocks

Careful Murph Tom Segura’s body crumpled like a wet paper bag when he tried to dunk for the first time

Jordan is all about NASCAR now. He co-owns 23XI (twenty-three/eleven)

Critical role campaign 4 is supposedly West-matches style. Also: Baba Yaga's Malibu Dream house https://bsky.app/profile/sassytealady.bsky.social/post/3mbxngy3rus2k

Having been in west marches and D&D servers a lot of them are held on Discord servers

LOOKSMAXXING is JENSMAXXING When will our burnt out bestie get those high and tight cheekbones you can only make w some hammer taps

Murph should look at more of his mother in law’s beautiful pottery to change his algorithm a bit.

It was the L Word Emily and in addition to everyone getting parking tickets, there was a period sync up.

Murph’s algorithm is one step away from a red pill pipeline 😬😬

Beucephalus the wonder horse is named after Alexander the Greats horse Bucephalus I believe!

I use a Doodle Poll to schedule out my giant friend group hang outs. I just pick a date that the most people can go and it's always worked out fine

Caldwell runs on Dunking.

Isn't the second and third Avatar Movies specifically about the Whales on Pandora?

Emily's looking for a Doodle Poll, which is what we still call them even if we're not using Doodle anymore.

Emily! The Curse of Chalion is my favorite book by my favorite author! I was so excited to hear that you were reading it!

Be warned: Caldwell rolling so poorly in this encounter may mean that he’ll end up rolling incredibly well for the Strahd fight. Dice Christ be like that sometimes

The scheduling app is doodlepoll ☺️

Emily is so simple

Just got the Pickled Dice jar and am turning it into a Picked Dice Terrarium! “Thank you,” - Sundews & Moss

Is Bocephalus named after Alexander the Great's horse or am I misremembering?

we actually got some of the episode this time

Fun Fact: Strahd's Bucephalus is named after Alexander the Greats horse which was also named Bucephalus, which means bull or strong headed.

The best part about emily not really being up on social media trends is I get to hear her react to the insanity of the internet

The iconic Miami Heat shot, but instead of DWade in front its LeBron on all fours howling while his Bronny plays Icarus

Kingdom come: deliverance 2 does the plane thing

Kcd2 has an airplane in 15th century Kutna Hora during a cutscene

"are you allowed to toss in basketball" is crazy 😂

Emily describing figure skaters as swirling really cracked me up

I’m shocked Jake wasn’t the thumbnail

I’ll put this on while I’m eating pussy
