"You've heard of hell in a cell, this is shit in a pit"
I fully get the players not wanting to lose out on playing d&d, but I 100% wouldn’t be able to concentrate on DMing if someone was actively bleeding into a towel at the table
For the monkey question I bring forward the Paw Paw defense. How many times did Moonshine take falling damage? A few. How many of those times did Paw Paw take falling damage? None.
Did they at least clean the blood first
i’m weighing in too late for this but i think the barbarian is at fault because they insisted the monkey was in their backpack. i may be misinterpreting it, but i understood it as the barbarian knew they were landing on the backpack (whether or not they decided to land that way), THEN the DM asked “where’s your monkey?”, and the barb just consistently said in the backpack. it sounds like the BARBARIAN wanted this thing dead for reals
To the dm that killed an absent player, how dare you sir? And to have done so without using all of their saves even? And a disintegration to boot?? You should be deeply ashamed.
now I feel bad for having suggested a punishment before ever having listened to an episode.
It's definitely weird to kill a pc when they're not there but more importantly why are you so committed to it? It's your story no one's making you continue with that having happened you can always change something, and should change something, if no ones happy with it
Starting this episode off by ruling AGAINST the guy who stopped the game due to an injury is such insane funny energy that keeps up throughout this entire episode, I feel high
Irish goodbye to the hospital is suuuchhh a mood
"Never leave down to a roll something that you really don't want to happen." -Murph. Fuckin Confusious Level
I absolutely love Emily’s “ya gotta try” mentality, haha
what is a conversation pit?
:) its a space in fancy homes. https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/MztkRgyeM0kI0jycJnBEzdnt2xw=/1400x1400/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8206865/27T.003C.jpg
https://www.dmsguild.com/product/184921/the-Pugilist-Class There's a grappler sub class in this home brew class
When Emily said don't bring Mudd in here that kinda hurt since I am Mudd
I love that more and more punishments are taking place in the same setting. So efficient!
NADDPOD should make croc accessories 😮
"conversation pit" set me off
I’ve come around, Jake forgetting he took the oath proudly is just gonna get funnier every time.
Ooh, Murphy being a saucy little city pigeon in this one! Moonshine: Has a possum that lives in her gigantic boobs. Murph: I'll allow it. Random player: I want a pet monkey. Murph: THIS PLAYER IS A PROBLEM!!!
1) I'll take a Paw Paw over the new dumb books any day 2) people who take monkeys are always, and I mean always, going to try and be "zany and wacky"
There is a really well made homebrew class called Pugilist that is basically a strength-based Monk that's more about being tough than nimble. One of their subclasses is called "Squared Circle" and is all about wrestling and grappling people, that might be something Murph or Emily like.
Ooh, yeah, one of my characters was the Bloodhound Bruiser subclass and he's one of my favorites.
Or a metal city one shot like the donkey Kong one shot with a return of boom box and his pole dancing gf
When we gonna see a 8 bit book club with Jake and finally finishing sonic in metal city once and for all?
OMG YES, I just finished listening to all of 8 bit book club and I desperately want this!!! Anyone thinking of listening, please do so. It is SUPER interesting and got me into playing games that didn't necessarily appeal to me at first (Bioshock)
Tavern Brawler Feat lets your wrestle people down. You can grapple with a bonus action after you hit with an unarmed attack.
I propose a Shark Tank variant of D&D Court where players/DMs pitch Homebrew rules, items, etc. for the Sharks to discuss and invest in.
This is brilliant
How does one "respectfully lose [ones] shit"? Lol .
life's greatest enigma
when I got second degree burns as a barista, I kept making jokes and such to calm down people who were freaking out and just in shock or coping. It got to the point where my mom said "I like when you're hurt, you're funny then"
A shrub producing some good berries? Frozen tundra? Rime of the Frostmaiden, anyone? 👀
Honestly I would give my favorite D20 to have a full episode/service of D&D church.
if my dm straight up killed my pc while i was GONE, id assume i was no longer welcome at the table/we weren’t friends anymore. that’s so petty and so weird and bad
Right? Even my dm who rolls before each attack to see who it targets doesn't go after PCs whose players are not present for the session. I feel like if they were concerned about fairness, they should have adjusted the encounter and excluded the warforged all together from the combat.
Emily needs to play through the Banjo and Kazooie series or at least the first game. I can't believe no one addressed that she didn't know what they were. Possibly a good mixed bag topic.
As Brennan just taught me on Rotating Heros, if you Grapple a prone enemy they cannot stand up as grapple reduces movement to 0 and it takes half your movement to stand up from Prone. So if the player wanted to mechanically Prone someone AND grapple them, that might be a bit much for one bonus action
Well then they should oppose athletics to become grappled and then on the next turn or available action they would oppose athletics again to prone them, and they would have to win an op athl check their next turn to get out of grapple to even get up, but as Murph said, not enough info about whether they had done damage at all which would mean they would have to continue the attack action and could not bonus action grapple unless they had a feat that allowed it. So we still don't know
Murphy and Emily do not need to take the oath. They have already made one to each other.
Jake forgot the basics of CQC
When's Naddpod partnering with Fortnite for some skins? Take my money pleaaassssee
If you have Extra Attack you can always use one of your attacks for a grapple.
To the grappling monk take a look at the grappler feat!
Tavern Brawler
Crit Justice Emily has officially made it to my Spotify Top 5!
Is there a spot where ill luck henry and the river song are posted where it's just the songs?
In regards to a grappling monk, there is a feat that allows you to make grapple checks as a bonus action and add damage to a successful check. My benevolent dm granted me a magic item with battle Master abilities which gave me maneuvers for knocking enemies prone and grappling them. I also subclassed as a four elements monk which allowed me to do other pushing and pulling abilities and flavor him as an elemental monk specializing in 4 grappling styles. One of the most fun characters I have ever played.
The feat is Tavern Brawler
The Shrub/Water elemental baby could be a Juice elemental!
Hi!!! As it so happens, I am the owner of the bloody foot in the first case. I can’t believe my ex sent in that story but I can confirm that the blood DID add to the ambience and that I have a scar to this day. I have a photo of my bloody towel that I like to look at every Halloween as a reminder :D
this is incredible the court is honored by your presence and i have to ask are you still in a dnd campaign with your ex
The first aid trained listeners demand more information on the Case of the Bloody Foot and a retrial LOL
This made my day haha more to listen to during my drive!
Hmmm. Pits are always good.
First!
