I'm happy that Cain is based on Pappa G from Bloodborne, because that is just how I've seen him this whole campaign
Now they look down their nose and say "I played The Garden." it's crazy.
You're all famous to me! 🥰 I've had dreams about meeting various people from naddpod and D20 and totally geeking out.
how is having perception prof "metagamey"?
Because a player who has played the game before knows how important and prevalent perception rolls are. They’re not saying it’s ALWAYS metagemey, like you can have a character that is perceptive and give them perception prof, but it’s metagamey to give your characters perception prof by default (which is what a lot of people do including myself)
I found you guys because of Adam ruins everything, then I found you on D20 and then I ended up here
Can’t forget about father gas coin the savior of the third mates
Saw other people mentio the Tasha stuff but thought I'd mention Class Modifier Module by Gabriel Hicks a homebrew thing with mechanics for assigning ability points by class and background rather than race
Murph not knowing about Marvel stuff just blew my mind
So I guess I'm going to the naddpod live show being guest dm'd by the guy from buzzfeed in January
I love hearing your irl stories, I would be absolutely hype & very shy to meet any of you 😂❤️
I love how uniquely powerful the great fairies feel- like Ulwen in his world of ice, vs. Leonora who might look more innocuous but makes these incredibly powerful tomes, vs. Callista who straight up is the sun on her plane. They all feel like such distinct, godlike beings.
I will now be calling the gravelly southern accent that causes people to trust someone "The Cobb Effect"
Isn’t this the buzzfeed patreon?
39:27 "I've actually only listened to the Hexbuds arc..."
That alone was a helluva ride! Just imagining filling in the mental details and references with no starting point
My boyfriend always gets Caldwell and Griffin mixed up so the last bit killed me
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the addition of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything to 5e make it where you can take the racial bonuses to ability scores and switch them to whichever ability scores you please? Like a Tiefling’s +2, +1 could be applied to Strength and Con rather than Charisma and Intelligence.
Yes, that's correct, I was thinking the same thing.
As someone who loves the McElroy brothers and NADDPOD, this absolutely got me snort laughing. Love it.
Some good news: the Guild of Fury Stans have assessed Jake’s remarks and have nothing further to add
This was such a good short rest episode 😍
Anyone else find it weird that Emily would act like she knew nothing about The Adventure Zone?
?
Who the fuck is Chet Hanks
I want sure until they mentioned his dad, Tom Hanks (I think he works at buzzfeed?)
Adventure Zone and NADDPOD mashup is too beautiful for this world
From what we know, Cain went with Mox because he thought that the Elder would open the gates if Saranisis (sorry I butchered that) was killed. Coming here he probably found out he was lied to by Mox, so I get why he would want to kill her. His goal was to let the spirits pass on, getting Saranisis the crown would do that.
Also, I think them being there, won that fight. Them taking as much damage as they did, probably let Cain outlast her.
If you have not already, I implore you to watch the channel 5 chet hanks interview. All their content is gold but that interview is truly art.
I had a feeling Caine's look was based on Papa Guacamole.
As others have said, custom options from Tasha's COE basically lets you throw racial modifers anywhere.
“I love it when you stretch me out” Tanner C. 2021.
For emily the racial rules for any stat increase were actually released in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything! There’s an option for it on dnd beyond its just kinda hidden
In response to the half-orc talk, With Custom Lineage from Tasha’s (I believe that’s the correct source) you can change/replace the ability scores from a given race
Came to say this and you are 100% correct!
Please confirm it was Travis "Chet Hanks" Helwig
it was!!!
hi chet hanks (chets hanks? chet hanks'? chet hankses?)
Jake schooled Brian on a barbarian ability. Our boy is all grown up :’)
That huge fight reminded me of playing an MMO and trying to let your high level friends power you through a dungeon. You somehow make it through being a body bag for your friend
Omg I was just listening to the council of elders when this got uploaded! Perfect timing
