Short Rest: Trinyvale X Strahd - Ep. 22

I’m with Murph - Magic Eye’s are easy. If one day just clicked (after REALLY trying to figure it out). Ever since then I have little trouble trouble solving them. 🤷

Omg. Gang. Murphy said empty turtle shell... He doesn't know that the shell is their spine and body... He thinks they live in it like a hermit crab . All I hear is yipping

Contagion has always been good btw, I actually like the 2014 version better. It doesn’t do the damage but each ability score has its own additional thing like being blinded or vulnerability to damage

They filmed the Turtle Club scene on 9/11 and got the news on set

I forgot about the Crop Duster “smelly superhero” bit. I wonder if Crop Duster could defeat Coloss-Ass

Astigmatism can affect your ability to see the Magic Eye images to varying degrees. My astigmatism is so severe I cannot see them at all

My pops still has his "Lord of the Big Dogs" shirt from when the LotR movies came out. Also, does anyone else remember the movie Mystery Men? The hero "The Spleen's" whole deal was stink

I don’t get what Murph doesn’t get about crop dusters…

i don't think murph understands the concept of gravity

Shit talking superheroes on NextDoor 😂

Strong recommend for the "I spy" style book Dungeons & Dragons: Behold! A Search and Find Adventure: A Search-and-Find Adventure in D&D's Forgotten Realms

It’s so funny I call all the guys I work with Big Dawg cause I’m terrible with names. You want to make a ladies day after you see her do something impressive call her Big Dawg.

My character found a helm of brilliance in a dungeon :) My dm rolled for each of the gems and then immediately had to halve all of the values because it was way too much. For that reason I only rarely use the spells, but even just the fire resistance and extra fire damage on weapon attacks are super fun for my swashbuckler.

Y'all should do a Waldo deep dive, he has lore 😂

Classicist - Hermes kills and eats the tortoise to get the shell for the lyre. Sorry Caldwell, not old age or natural causes 😔

Yes. Memories is a crazy series. Highly recommend

we need a new show that's the paniking DM , with Murph or anyone else improvising like that, I always laugh so fucking hard

For magic eye, people would put the book right to their faces and then pull away slowly. I hated that so I just crossed my eyes and then uncrossed them slowly and it would come into focus. Emily or Jake if you finally get it, plz tell us! Haha

EMMA FROST MENTION 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

Re: Big Dog…I had a Gen Z student (college senior) call me Big Dog with genuine affection in a conversation like 3 months ago and I still occasionally ride that high

I have a Waldo tattoo behind my ear. This episode spoke to me.

Murph I play a war domain cleric/ shadow sorcerer and I have a shield with a base AC of 22 as a twin Casting healer that can shield of faith +shield to hit 29. The Mary Sue of the campaign. Shield and a fear also gives them evasion.

When will content about Sword of the Dragon King be available for listening on Patreon? Asking for all of us listeners

The stinky superhero could just hangout with everyone who lost their sense of smell from Covid 🤣

I looked up the dark gifts and they are hilarious. I love the Dark Gift of Tarakamedes. Also, the Dark Gift of Great Taar Haak would be perfect for jens

Leave it to Caldwell to take boxes of rice on the refridge as Greek or Roman. "A nat 20 on history? Why dont you tell me what you know and ill decide if its right"

The Dragon King named Reginald. Reggie. Reg- is a prefix that means "king" or "royalty". Was that intentional??

great news, you can't smell in space

I love all of the dark gifts, they’re so weird and creepy. I don’t remember which one, but there’s one where the consequence of taking the dark gift is that, everyday, you have to eat bones and dirt.

Shout ot to all my yippers

I can't believe I got into my car to commute home from work and found that I was 11 minutes into this. Having thought I was 40 minutes into it with what a raucous time the first 10 mins is, I'm so excited to have 50 minutes left. Fucking helluv an episode lmao

In this thread: Bowser's Wario could just be significantly more evil. Bowser is mostly a jealous, covetous and tyrannical dude who ultimately has no real plans beyond taking over the world. Wowzer could truly want to end all of existence or something. Next Paper Mario game???

As someone who did play a sword and board ancestral guardian barbarian (halfling so I couldn't use heavy weapons in the 2014 rules) for a few years, you don't have to be unarmored to use rage. You can wear medium armor and also use a shield and you literally don't lose any benefits, all that matters is that you aren't wearing heavy armor. If your gm gives you a good one-hander (like a flametongue) you really don't feel the loss of not using a heavy weapon and you can just absorb so much damage.

Heard about magic eye and had to try it out. Took me a little but after I figured out the trick its was very easy. If you want to know how I did it, I slightly crossed my eyes over and over again, just kind of pushing them together, and then there was a depth I could see of the images. Kind of hard to explain but hope I helped. (Just googled “magic eye” and clicked the first link I saw and then started trying.)

There are 3D-images that are just two separate images and you have to get even more cross-eyed to see them, but at least you can tell wether you are getting close and if it's the right size and distance. Good practice if you can't get the magic eye ones to work. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zBa-bCxsZDk/maxresdefault.jpg

I feel like I’m going crazy about the shield thing, doesn’t Onyx one hand her pact weapon? Couldn’t she use it?

Big Johnson himself checking in and feeling seen

I got the helm in my game thr same way and only used it like 2 times because it just felt wayyy too unfair to the DM and also made my sorcerers skills feel pointless.

Space debris can reach speeds of 18,000 miles per hour. So we better hope stinky flight comes with invulnerability if we're going to use it to clean up space trash.

The birds in space discussion drove me crazy, since the thing they need to breathe is also the thing they need to fly! They have to push against air to move around!

Axford, did you just say, “you would just get Fabioed in the air by a bird” 😆🕊️🙌💕

So ready for the finale,! Caldwell this was ❤️

Murph proctor can definitely fly in space all the flying superheroes can fly in space not all of them can breathe in space but they still got the propulsion and control going for him

Cropduster was so unhinged

god i miss the 2 crew

https://www.bigdogs.com/products/big-dogs-dog-grrrinch-t-shirt-navy The grinch shirt…I guess?

I just can't bring myself to order a Big Johnson tshirt express to Australia for the purpose of wearing it to our most prestigious cultural venue, but I'll be wearing it on the inside.

31:19 Caldwell's 2nd reference to Doctor Who! I'm on my first relisten of C1 rn and he just made a TARDIS mention a few episodes ago there too. It makes my little nerd heart happy as hell

I pictured a Kappa demon when Caldwell described the gross turtle with long greasy hair

So pumped for the finale!

Dang, I was really invested in that Dragon King plot...

Murph is kinda right. Not much you can say when the bully says "all I hear is you yippin" -Except that it's an immediate invitation to get punched. Get punched enough times and they'll stop saying that. :P

my pit bull mix does get bullied by chihuahuas who are like a quarter of his size 😭

I had a cleric/druid whose shield really only served as her holy symbol (a gout of fire from cracked earth) since she was always the backline lmao. I think she got physically attacked maybe twice the whole campaign

These guys should have a Big Dog-Big Johnson summit with the AFE gang

As someone who collects vintage Big Dog shirts this short rest was very much for me

Murph loves to drop those end of campaign announcements on us like a hammer

My favorite dogcast

29 y/o and have no clue what this big dog tshirt stuff is😂

We may have reached peak Short Rest. “Rookie of the Year” reference and a “Dragonball Z” within a minute of each other. Only way it gets better is if they some how work in those Warheads candies

This show makes me want to get off the dang porch

I have also never been able to see the Magic Eyes. I have a -11.0 prescription though so maybe astigmatism does just make it harder to see.

*ding* New Murph DM unlocked

Y’all don’t know SHIT about little dogs if you think they’re the ones getting bullied at the park

Magic eyes are part of the reason I found out I was color blind.

I also have never seen a Magic Eye - but I have two different vision eyes (like one is almost 20/20 but is astigmatic and the other is just slightly short-sighted) and very bad depth perception so, I guess I'm a really smól dog

You know who flies and stinks? Wario. And I think hes pretty cool. He has a motorcycle anyway

Amazing timing, get to finish out my work day with this

Love all you guys xoxoxo

Big dog huge hog

Pretty upset that joke was only for the listeners at home…. because I’m working right now

I'm gonna miss trinyvale x strahd

This short rest posted early bc emily was so on top of it

Excellent timing literally just finished the episode <3
