Mixed Bag: Owlbear Cave
Join us as the Wealthy Owlbears hear your homebrew pitches and decide if they work for our eggs. If that sentence didn't make sense, it's ok, it also won't make sense after you listen to the episode. Come get lost in the tank with us!

Oh no I've been using the potion modification rule, but i also added they're essentially water balloons that can be thrown ala baldur's gate 3 for heals. I'm gonna get sued so hard.
Listening to Murph try and keep Caldwell and Emily on the rails/not lost in the tank is hilarious. Without Murph, this would’ve just been Caldwell, Emily, and Jake arguing semantics about the smallest, most unnecessary details that they create out of thin air. Without murph there, the other 3 could probably riff completely off topic for hours. Thank god for Murph. Also, thank god for the other 3 maniacs - y’all are a hilarious group.
The start of a pattern of Murph dropping eggs for cursed scenarios?
Can’t believe the first tortle tank was actually an owl cave
Right?! i love how murph instantly started saying “lost in the tank” because of shark tank and Emily kept being confused cause they were bears.
The pitch at 26:00 was also in the latest D&D court, but the attitudes of the judges are very different than the attitudes of the owl bears. They ultimately came to the same conclusion. Pretty sure the submitter here was the DM from the latest court case.
had a look thru the backlog and put this ep on — when i got to that part i was thinking the exact same thing. glad someone else noticed 🤝
The potion one is perfection
that counterspell counterspell thing sounds really fun
In my home games for crits we roll advantage for damage pretty much. So it’s like for a 2d6 we roll 6d6 and take the highest 4. So you can still roll bad, roll good, and get maximum clickyclack.
brilliant
You guys should do a mix bag of attack on titan first few episodes love the review of the anime’s
It would be cool if only the winning owlbear gets to incorporate the homebrews they win into a real life session (trinyvale, hotboy summer, Jake's home campaign, etc)
"lost in the tank" gives me big "TANG versus BANG" energy
It’s amazing how quickly Em or Caldwell can get lost in the tank lol
I have 2 major DMs and one does the double damage on Crits and the other does damage but with advantage, and it doesn’t do way too much damage, but it’s nice knowing that my character won’t be annihilated right away with double damage 😅
"Dont get lost in the tank" merch please.
Murph is logical and everyone else is a looney tunes
Without Murph, this would’ve been absolute cartoonish chaos.
See for crits I hate rolling double dice I prefer doubling the roll, so doing the add the max thing sounds way better for me
Loved this mixed bag, but I'm so sad at the missed opportunity to say "lost in the cave"! That's my homebrew pitch lol
The pebble in ear item was just a different take on the earring from critical role campaign 1.
I don’t know why, but the first thing is thought of as an Owlbear Cave intro was doing the Wolf of Wall Street Matthew McConaughey hum/chest pound thing, except with owl hoos instead of hums
You are lost in the sauce, I’m lost in tank. We are not the same.
I love this
Speaking stones for ears just sounds like a worse rapore spores cuz you have a verbal component along with a hand signal as opposed to telepathy or whatever speaking in someone else’s mind is
I am in desperate need of "Lost In The Tank" merch please and thank you
My pitch: instead of eggs, you have chicks/cubs aka “chubs”
This is so messy
Murph thank you so much for lost in the tank.
Hoot Growl!
Every time I listen to Mixed bags I am always reminded how much I just want a weekly version! I love the off the walls humor slowly consuming Murph. Love you all!
I think the Crit thing could be done as a "Feat" or Ability for a Character. Having it be a whole table rule is kind of silly since, like they said, not everyone would enjoy playing that way. But if it was set up so you could choose to do that as a Character. That might work. Maybe have some concession somewhere else in stats to help counterbalance it.
I've played with a campaign that combined the critical rule with critical confirmation, so had a choice when you crit. Roll double dice or confirm the crit (to again and see if you hit) and roll normal but add the maximum dice value.
I'll take Caldwell's answer. Or 300 bucks cash.
Though in retrospect I seriously undervalued my Invisible Rope.
Truly shocked jake picked my list of magic puns. I would like to point out if you used two fingerless gloves you wouldn't be able to do anything. No weapons, shields, or somatic components. I came up with the item when I had a character with a free hand and didn't want to give them a shield
The first level of exhaustion sucks if you're a wizard. If you're the only high int character in your party, you're going to lose all your intelligence checks. Disadvantages on checks is rough. I think the price is, if anything, too high. I would only use this if a player was going to die otherwise or there was some other serious risk
(That’s my submission to the bears)
Great idea, great listen, feel like it could be finessed if no prices were requested, the owl bears decide if they’ll bid and then for competing bids there’s a roll off. Then just like sentencing in D&D court the winning bidder states what they’ll invest
Casting a spell during a death save situation was probably explicitly prohibited since if a healer was down they could just cure wounds themselves and just never be killed.
I love this, please please please do more nanny naddpod crew
Year of the 2 crew. How about each owlbear has a exact coin per session to invest?
Murph we want to be lost in the tank!
i’m lost in the tank (cave)
GET LOST IN THE TANK !!!
Should I be studying, maybe
SO. MUCH. CONTENT. Happy new year 2 crew!!
Perfect timing to ignore my college applications
