Mixed Bag of Holding: Short Rest Rewind (Episode 1: Green Teens Gone)
The boobs go back to a more innocent time and discuss Episode 1: Green Teens Gone! Jake remembers what it was like to play for the first time, Emily recalls a time before she knew what was amiss at the Crick, Caldwell reflects on his early goofs, and Murph cringes at all the math he left in during the combat. Sound off in the comments if there are other old episodes you'd like us to cover!

Oo
I do think Jake comes off as shy and noticeably new to the game in those first episodes, but that’s part of what made the show special, what still makes it special I was new to d&d, and what better way to make it relatable than to have a new player. I thought it was brilliant and I’m sure others would agree it made the show very approachable And now we get to watch Jake continue to grow, and now he’s an awesome DM. Full circle
It would be fun for you guys to do "re-listen" now for these old episodes... Like balnor in the beginning sounds like nick cage and his name is pronounced different... It's so nice to see originals and progression
“drinking in the sound of the fiddle” and Emily’s reaction to that line is the exact moment that pulled me in. I was fighting for my life to muffle my laughter because I was working in office
They're truly come so far since then
Emily: I don’t have great memory All of Emily’s DMs: she has the BEST NOTES
First mention of The Grinch on a Mixed Bag right here. Also the first Roses and Thorns ever, and it was started by Jake.
where can I just get the mp3 for the actual episode tho
I still miss tooth collector Bev
Wait was this the origin of roses and thorns???
Yes
That baby voice cracked me up so hard
I’m all for a That’s So Craven shirt/mug!
I really loved this, but I wish we got more content in these mixed bag short rests. I feel like it would flow more if they were for arcs, instead of single episodes.
Caldwell totally nailed the "progressing alongside us and learning" bit - this show inspired me to start playing, and I've now taken the mantle of DM for a campaign I'm kicking off around xmas with some friends. Thanks BoB :)
I hope we get this more than once a month. Great addition to the short rests
Ep. 10 "Nemesis" where the Boobs infiltrate Skullis' underground arena and Hardwon fights using R.Cane (r.caine?). That would be epic. BTW got my mug & moonstone map recently - so friggin' dope dudes!!
I would go ham for a thats so craven shirt
I'd love to hear them all eventually, but especially The Watchman. I'd also love it if you could Skype with Nathan to hear his Rose and Thorns.
Episode 5 - Emily coins "Band of Boobs". & there are "little stains" all around.
I really think it would be awesome to play through it again, but a great short rest would be when you guys went to Prof. Duttle's Laboratory and saw Gunk-Bog and Stunk-Bug. Maybe the Mixed bag short rests could be a little longer? Like maybe cover a couple episodes in them? Like the entire Ezry "Chapter". I think I'd like that, and it could cut down on the random mixed bags ^_^.
