the heartbreak of Elias's last moments with the beauty and comedy of seeing what traits Hardwon inherited from him, hearing "Watch this!"... ouch oof my bones
I cant wait to listen to episode 69! Im sure it will be a funny episode for the funny number and will not be emotionally devastating and make me cry in public!
Wow, the comments are right - such a tear-jerker, I'm overwhelmed. Roses abound for all y'all
Man, every now and then I need to remind myself that Murph’s storytelling is the main, driving force behind how amazing this show is — but, specifically in Campaign 1 his story telling just felt extra magical. This battle is underrated I feel like (or maybe that’s just me forgetting about it (between re-listens) and how good it is, for whatever reason). Murph’s ability to tell a story during an intense battle (in a flash-back sequence!), while also having it be an actual part of the combat, is brilliant! Anyway, I can’t put into words how impressive Murph is in this episode. Episodes like this just show that Murph is on another level as a DM, and is undoubtedly one of the best in the world.
Murph got that dawg in him
I WAS LISTENING TO THE HILHOLM SCENE ON THE WAY HOME ON MY LUNCH BREAK AND I WAS SOBBING ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY AGAIN, MY THIRD RELISTEN. IVE ALREADY DONE THIS. AND IT STILL GETS ME UGH
This is my third time through and it proves that again and again these incredible storytellers infuse light and love into these adventure tales. Emily’s music consistently highlights the emotion of the moment. Murph’s descriptions give the players so much room and depth to fully flesh out the scenes. Thank you for being a light in my (and my son’s) lives!!!!
69th comment on ep 69 lol 😂
Nice
At 1:09:00 I was in tears listening to Murph's description of the epic battle at Hill Home. Such perfect story-telling.
Nice.
//Warning// don’t listen to this episode in a public setting. Was sitting in the middle of a big hospital’s cafeteria and listening on my lunch break. I’m sure it was worrisome to see a hospital employee choking back tears while trying to eat. What a great episode.
I'm so sorry I'm so wildly emotional rn I don't know how to technology and have now commented and deleted twice the post I meant to comment over the whole episode lmao
I've been a bit behind on episodes and just listened to this one. Big ups to Murph, the descriptions of the battle my goodness, the whole thing was amazing.
This one was a real tear jerker 😭 amazing as always
Fuckin a Murph - re-listened to this episode and your Lydia dialogue gave me chills. Nicely done.
So good!
I love the lore of Pentergost and I in college. Also, my new favorite episode
*Pentergreens
Although I'm saving the episodes, I listened to my shout out for this week 😂. Thank you Murph! I should have known coins were bad idea 🤣. What a weirdo!
I got the Casper The Friendly ghost treatment. The SS Stormborn is party central
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the studio for this, with Murph looking lovingly at Jake as they play the heartfelt reunion of Hardwon and his mum. Wait do they ever do these as livestreams?? (New patron here)
I wish. There's been a call for it but they said with the amount of pauses to do math and frequent bathroom breaks (they hinted at Jake) that have to be edited out of the final episode they're not going to do it
Nice
When Elias Sr. shouted "Watch this" I got goosebumps. It was amazing and awesome storytelling!!! I'm getting goosebumps just thinking of it. I'm not crying. Definitely not crying. Walls up. Walls up.
Nice
I noticed you guys had trouble coming up with a nickname for Boston, may I suggest Papaston?
Did anyone else cry? I cried!!!
This episode was so good! I was late for work because I didnt want to stop listening 😅
I'm saving this ep and short rest for my vacation driving next week 💕💕💕🙏🖖🖖🖖
Nice
Also... nice.
This was one of the thiccest sodes in a while. I just needed to give Murph props for the scene at Hillhome when the elves arrived. Amazing.
Legit teared up there!
Extra thicccc 'sode. Also am I the only one who wants to see Galad murdered more as a running gag? Just chained up and brought along the adventure just to be murdered and brought back whenever the boobs are stressed out.
Oh yes. Or put him in the sword. Or the Bag. 😈
The Galad dialogue after the divine smite was A+
Ok Daddy Murphy. Didn't expect to cry today but "I wanted to let you know that when I was your mother you were wanted" killed me.
That was amazing! Question : Can Moonshine Gentle Repose Galad to avoid him coming back, at least for a while? Would that even work on a revenant? Edit : Nice
nice
Oh my god this was so cool this was a truly epic battle
A++++ I was so caught up in all of this that I could see every little piece of the story as if I was watching the best movie ever created
nice

Special thanks to Daddy Murph for giving Paw Paw plot armor. Was really worried about him
Omg currently shivering at eguane arriving in the airship. This episode is amazing

@Alexander Mills No Murph said he's been super busy but they banked a few episodes this recording session so we should get our eps at the right time for the next few weeks.
Awesome. Thanks.
Don't mention the later times, Murph is an overworked man
I'm so here and patient for these eps 😉
HELL YEAH
Hooray! New episode! Will this be the normal posting time from now on? They used to drop earlier in the day.
