Relistening because tis the spooky season. And the spirits feel VERY much like the spren in stormlight archives. I just read all those amazing novels and now notice the similarities. I know they both are inspired by fairy tales but definitely feels like spren. Oh and there are 3 gods also is very similar which is very cool.
just realised Fia is basically the chainmaille artist ixdoxclare

So I now own the gladeholm university pullover, and at our local sheetz, I was wearing it while out with my girlfriend, and this one dude, who had the most adorable little girl, pointed it out to her, and said to look at it because it was cool, and so I smiled, turned back and thanked him, and waved hi to the little girl, but I’m 90% certain he wasn’t even a NADDPOD fan. I’m pretty sure he just thought it was cool sweatshirt, so kudos!!
a time loop episode where the characters are stuck repeatedly failing bc of Hugo would be so funny. wake up every day and have to cope with hugo
Starspawn!
omg I’m in the middle of my first bloodborne playthrough I’m so excited
Catching up on content...a few years behind
Same. I stopped a couple eps into campaign 2 so I just started everything over 😭
I finally caught up and I'm playing an Echo Knight with the same flavour of my Echo being my shadow who has been acting up! So cool 😝
I just beat bloodborne, so good timing for me!
Everyone has to play Starspawn
I just realized that Jake has a Stand for this campaign. I hope his character does some cool poses
Starspawn
I need an “I was bullied at Iron Deep High” tee shirt!
Hey Emily, the background of your character sounds slightly similar to the beginning of the book With a Single Spell. Was that part of the inspiration?
STARSPAWN
A bit of a nitpick, but I’m pretty sure there’s no such thing as an “objective morality.” It’s not like we can view morality, or measure it, or use it to make predictions about the world.
in DnD there could be tho
Please close out shows by now singing “don’t fear the reaper”
New to the podcast do I need to have finished season 1 to listen to season 2 I wanna listen to them side by side?
Nah they're separate worlds. I think you're good to listen sinultaneously
Ugh I’m transporting!
The Hedge witch reference and Fia's mating books gave me some real Magicians by Lev Grossman vibes! Freaking great books, would recommend.
The people demand Star Spawn.
Henry should gain 1/2 inch of height every time he levels up hahaa
Campaign 2 ends with Henry Hogfish being more jacked and a bigger badass than Hardwon.
Loved all the character concepts, but what happened to Binky Fiasco?
Fiasco became Fia and Binky became Boginya. Much more palatable to my DM, who repeatedly reminded me a Binky is a child's pacifier. -Emily
Starspawn. Yep.
Loved this so much!
you know, jake could actually pull an emily tier whomp if he ended up taking the feats “polearm master” and “sentinel” for henry since he wields a harpoon. would definitely like to see that
I am SO glad the cross stitch arrived safely, especially since the UPS confirmation just said it was signed for by Ray in Los Angeles. I'm so happy, I'm even going to forgive Caldwell for pronouncing my name Nickel. A mistake only Starbucks has made before. 😄
Emily referencing the Warded Man! Covering his body in Sigils to fight against the evil forces from The Core!
I just looked this up and put a hold on it on my library app! -Emily
Please do a Christmas special with Yugo in the new world!
Guarantee if Yugo is in Eldermourne, he runs a pyramid scheme that Henry Hogfish fell for.
Summer fun is over, winter is coming. Light your bonfires and toss a coin to your Witcher because everyone is bad in this town.
Light those bon freres
Can Randy the Werewolf be the Tom Bombadil of this world?
Randy the Werewolf comes over for tea in my train. -Emily
I ABSOLUTELY love your guys' laughs, they are one of the best parts of the podcast and just further elevate the humor. You all have fantastic laughs and I adore them each, and I must say Murph and Emily are like the power couple of weird wonderful laughs, you guys absolutely send it and I am totally here for it
Starspawn.
C2 is one episode long, Oppa Yugo Style
Really proud of Jake for being able to play a fully average (and short) person
Emily really said I'm multiclassing to be a one person party
I love to be whatever my party needs of me. -Emily
I love the eschewing of traditional fantasy racism
I have one big request for this campaign, it might be a bit crunchy, but I don't care.... Please can we have short rests or mixed bags where you guys talk about your leveling up choices!!? By all means do it after the fact, that way it doesn't ruin any supprises for shinnanigens that may come up, or ruin any potential plot points. But I would really love to hear how you guys choose you abilities feats and spell slots choices. Also MAKES SPACE FOR STARSPAWN!!!!
Seconded, always wanted to hear about this more in depth.
The way Emily and murph describes magical books really makes me think of Terry Pratchett and the UU library
I read the color of magic a while ago and loved it! I will try to read more during this campaign. What book is the UU library in? -Emily
I 100% STARSPAWN with Emily!
STARSPAWN!!
The Elder = Moonshine The Reaper = Hardwon The Trickster = Beverly
When you STARSPAWN were describing the sprites and colors STARSPAWN I started thinking of the colors and STARSPAWN intensity and beauty of Annihilation without the Lovecraftian death STARSPAWN. STARSPAWN
When ya'll were building up to Jake's character I was certain his echo was gonna be the versions of him that he could of been lmao love the shadow tho
Boots of Yugokind
Ok did anyone else get mad "The Pagemater" vibes when they talked about books with personality? Either way looking forward to this new campaign ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧.
I got Harry Potter vibes actually, especially the biting bestiary
STARSPAWN!
STAR SPAWN!!
Henry's physical description felt like an attack.
Thea’s got a talking grimoire!
Jokes aside, SUPER EXCITED FOR ELDERMOURNE!!! Love everything so far, I'm thrumming with hype!
STAR SPAWN!
"Draw boy's ready to draw"
Just based on the initials description in the first 5 minutes, I am getting mad Oblivion: Shivering Isles vibes
"Leave space for starspawn" is what they say at prom in Eldermourne
I'm transported
"Don't fear the reaper" was the only thing in my head when they were talking about him
Starspawn
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!
The new purple logo is fire, by the way
Let's...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-imma be here a while-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Emily! What’s your favourite Hades build? Oh, and it all sounds awesome. I absolutely can not wait.
THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME THIS. I always want an Athena deflect boon, love a little Dionysus hangover / Aphrodite weakening duo, love to turn my cast into chain lightening. So far I've been favoring the stygian blade, but I'm into the shield and fists as well. I think my favorite gifts are the chaos gift that lets you not have to take damage to visit them. Also, I have a blossoming love affair with 'dusa, although Nyx told her not to talk to me anymore, so I'm pretty confused, but keep giving 'dusa potions anyways. What about you?? -Emily
Third children unite 🙌
I’m excited for Henry and his never wife Jill and her husband Tucker.
Bring back the starspawn
*high pitched squeal*
Was not ready for the new logo....
ALREADY LOVE THIS WORLD AND THESE CHARACTERS 👏👏👏
Emily sounds like a Terry Pratchett witch and it is awesome.
Glad I’m not the only one to think that!
@EMILY is your characters name “Fia” as in “Fiasco”?
It was a nickname we talked about when we were trying to make Fiasco work as a first name (a compromise from Murph, who really wanted me to lose "binky"), but then I found out that Feya means fairy in Russian, so it felt extra fortuitous. -Emily

THIS, this makes me happy
i Have to ask. is the name fia based off of binky fiasco
AS A BULGARIAN IM SO EXCITED TO HEAR буквар (Bukvar)! You just made my day! Please give it an Eastern European accent! 🇧🇬🥳🇧🇬
I really should have listened to the whole thing ahead of time instead of typing partway through, but as a person from a small town in the middle of nowhere Colorado one of our doctors was indeed also the coroner.
It’s gonna be so exciting how Murph works in Em’s book and Jake’s shadow. It’s gonna be so nuts
I am very excited to learn more about Henry's son, Pervical "Pawpaw" Hogfish.
ssscreeEECH
someone tell murph to check his twitter mentions me and some friends made him a little birthday gift 😭
Spirit me away to the Starspawn please.
STARSPAWN
Caldwell is Damiel from Pathfinder.
Starspawn
100% agree with Emily, the Reaper sounds so dope and reminds me so much of Hades. I'm pumped all to shit for this campaign.
