Short Rest: Eldermourne - Ep. 38: Ill Luck Henry

Blazing Babe!!!!

Is the Bourne trilogy reference the first When Did Things Come Out?

Listening to this for the first time now and hearing the blazing babe bit makes the NYC show they did in April make a lot of sense

caring about family "turns you into a republican" lmao the political takes on this show are so LA room temp its unreal

You’ll probably never see this, but Jake. We were at burning man the same year!!

Are you telling me that “when did things come out” started HERE?!

blazing babe fans rise UP

Re-listening to this randomly in 2024 and my god they were not kidding about Blazing Babe. The subscription to the Mixed Bag is worth it for just that “one shot”.

1. I must know what Sir Captain Teenypetals' bunny is named. 2. If you want an "amnesia" character, look for a module called The Demolished Ones, using the Fate system. Your characters start with no memory and you build them as you go by "remembering" skills that you have as they become useful. Could easily work as a one or two-shot!

Wild Beyond the Witchlight is a campaign I’m currently playing, and we just met a talking dandelion with a rapier. I’m gonna start calling him Captain Teenypetals

Relistening to this and I just want everyone to know that I think about Sir Captain Teenypetals all the time. I want to know what happened in the flower kingdom!! why is he hiding from his destiny?

So glad you got to run your burning boy summer one shot

Taking cover for partial cover and 3/4 cover is such an incredible asset to both players and monsters, but it's just not really something that works with theater of the mind games unless you really dive into what's in and around the battle arena.

I genuinely enjoyed The Green Tweens before the party realized they were evil lol and hearing Emily say "I'm from Maine" made me laugh so hard for some reason 😂

If we don't get a bon frere burning man, I'm going to lose it lol

Just got short rests and going backwards. Hearing Caldwell being excited to fight Cain made me lol

We absolutely need Bon Frere burning man!

You guys wondered if there was a cross between a fighter and an archer. For fun, build out an assassin with the sharpshooter feat. Imagine hiding in the rafters, popping out, using Assassinate and Sneak Attack from a LONG range, then disappearing again in the same turn. It's devastating.

BON FRERES BURNING MAN!!!!!!!

Murph IS the fairy of story telling!!

just relistened to the hexbloods arc, and the epilogue with them is gonna be AWESOME. those episodes hit so GOOD.

@emily the last duel sounded awesome but ended up being a big flop unfortunately, just thought I’d give you a heads up

Emily we need burning babe

I'd sub to a higher tier if it got us the Bon Frere Witchlight between Eldermourne and whatever comes next

Hoping one of the special guests is Brennan because I would love to hear him listen to some of the cases the court gets. And I hope the other is either Siobhan or Ally!

I totally did a Jason borne thing with one of my players in my campaign! I had a friend who I really wanted to play and he wasn't sure so I talked him into coming to our 1st session. We ended up rolling him a character that night (wild magic sorcerer) before everyone else got there so naturally he had no backstory. I told him not to worry about it. The first time he went to roll a history check I revealed to him that his earliest memory was standing outside the tavern when session 1 started which spooked the hell out of him. Later he got exposed to some toxic mist and he had a flashback to a memory of being experimented on like Deadpool before he got his mutant powers. As A result of being exposed to the mist he went berserk on the rest of the party and I gave him a level 20 stat sheet and he went full bucky Barnes on the group. That's where we left off. Next session he is going to snap out of it and have no memory of fighting the party but will retain the memory of being experimented on. It's been a ton of fun revealing little bits of backstory to him as he goes along. Surprise proficiencies and strange abilities he's good at. His wild magic surges are also a result of being experimented on. It's been great!

The idea of Hot Boy Summer Fae Wild Burning Man sets my soul on fire. I have never wanted an arc more in my life 👀

I started using the MTG color wheel for alignments. It's easier to understand and work with personality types

@Murph, what would have happened to Leanora had the choo choo crew burned the book she had been trapped in? Released her or eternally trapped her in story world?

GIVE ME BON FRERE FESTIVAL OR GIVE ME DEATH

Wild Beyond the Witchlight is SO good! It's so my vibe that my current PC (created months before the book came out) fits exactly with the feylost background 😂

I WILL PAY AN AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR BLAZING BABE

"republicans are bad because they only care about their family." Isn't a take I expected from Emily.

Wild beyond the witchlight reminds me so much of my favorite book The Night Circus and I NEED to buy it

I would up my pledge for blazing babe

We definitely need this Hot Boy Summer!

Please do a one shot called “The Bourne Identi-DnD” 👀

Emily, I’m begging you to send the Bon Frères to the Feywild.

Who are the special guests??? D&D court deserves to just be its own podcast at this point, I love it.

Official request for Hot Boy Summer: Fae Wild Burning Man

How much do we have to raise in order to get HBS:BM

The last duel was very good btw! I felt like I was watching a history textbook but if it was entertaining and it truly reminded me of how bad it would have been to be alive in the 1300's

Big rose for the live show!

Obligatory love the podcast and the short rests are worth the wait every time! That said, I’m here for the alignment discussion! I like to use neutral in my games as not caring strongly about that metric but care about something different that also has polarity. So if you are neutral on good and evil, you care about something other than morality more than the morality of your actions. If you are neutral on chaotic and lawful, you care more about something else than about order and freedom. Example, I’m playing a chaotic neutral wizard who cares about advancing knowledge more than he cares about whether it was gained morally or immorally. I could be the opposite though, and be a Luddite instead. To me it’s important that the new axis also have two ends to scale toward. Likewise, I have some elves in a world I dm who don’t care so much about law or freedom, but do very much care about the wild spaces of the world being maintained and expanded even at the cost of more traditional civilization.

I'm sure someone already said this, but Leonora gave me major 'Stranger Than Fiction' vibes. I 100% pictured her as Emma Thompson. Loved the reveal about Hank's story so much.

So worth the wait!!! Please, please, please do another Hot Boy Summer! Maybe, instead of Burning Man, they end up at Frye and have to negotiate with the airline to issue a change of return with out incurring a penalty.

I think the alignments are really useful with the deities because they have lost the ability to develop. Chaotic and Lawful really adds depth and breadth beyond good/neutral/evil. Love you guys. I literally spent all day refreshing the feed yesterday!!!

Emily, have you seen The Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis? You might prefer it to The Bourne Identity.

blazing babe PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!111!

Is Nathan on the dnd court????

Blazing babe

Thank you so much for posting! We know you've been super busy this week so it's greatly appreciated that you got this out to us. I've been looking forward to this since I heard Murph's palpable glee at making such irritating characters in the 'sode!

Emily, I saw the Last Duel this weekend and imo, Jodie Comer and Adam Driver were the best parts. Ben Affleck did pretty good too.

Do you think the special guests are going to be Vin Diesel and Yoga with Adrienne

Murph pulling the late shift on a sunday, my man

now hoping the live show gets posted too 😅

The madman made it in time

The live show was fantastic!!

Yeeeeesssss!

A rose! And the live show was great!

Yay!!!

So keen

This has college essay written all over it

Thanks gang, hope the live show went well!

Right under the wire lmao
