D&D Court: Bonus Cases - Mom Parade

I'd been considering a hedgehog or mushroom themed outfit for the London live show but now the way is clear, it's got to be dinosaurs.

Late to the party, but I used to make “special coffee” for my mom when she was in hospice. Add the honey to the dry cup, pour over the coffee while stirring, and add a little half & half and cinnamon. Tiny Elfin mom approved.

Infantilizing others for their interests is absolutely foul behavior. I hope Murph and Jake have grown past this.

I can't believe you guys are so wrong about the dinosaur story. 1. Dinosaurs are awesome and it's okay to want to be one. 2. The DM promised that the player could be a dinosaur and from the player's perspective and from their perspective they're backpedaling. 3. The player was not even described as being mean or annoying.

Murph describing emily flipping upside down in the pool while all the adults are drinking margaritas is incredible. Never change axford

Wow cloudward ho spoilers from the past

If you forced me to go and talk to someone wearing a dinosaur t-shirt or a wwe t-shirt I would pick dinosaur 100% of the time. Yet both options are better than talking to someone with no shirt on.

I tend to put honey in my coffee, but that’s only bc I usually drink ALOT of tea, and usually only use raw organic honey, that tastes very nice even all on its own, but I’ve never tried maple syrup. I tend to buy sugar free syrup bc I’m a diabetic, and for some reason it hits me a lot harder and makes my blood sugar spike more so than honey does, but I’m also an insane person who likes drinking their coffee black most of the time, so my opinion might 100% be irrelevant 😭😭

One of the PCs in my campaign is a kid! He is a fun little sailor background bard and it is so fun how our whole party comes together as a kind of family to protect him (even though he is of course a full PC and a little badass himself). A different situation but the kid vibes can be truly fun.

This post has the incorrect Short Rest tag. Apparently Patreon tags are Case Sensitive, so it should be tagged Short Rest in order to show up with all the others.

I put honey in hot coffee and I am fiercely defending it because it's yummy

Try hot or iced coffee with honey and cinnamon it SLAPS

Man yall had some spicy pen pals didn't you?

Honey in coffee is the best

How is a wolf more fantasy than a Dino or like a dragon is just a Dino

The child conversation is a bit funny to me remembering that Bev was literally a 15 year old boy scout at a summer camp 😂

i don’t know man, i think cringe culture is fake and often kind of ableist. not to be an sjw but a lot of people are into dinosaurs and as someone with autism, i am pretty sure that dinos are a fairly common special interest for autistic people. however i do think that players shouldn’t be entitled and i agree with emily that it’s not fun to be able to do what you want right away

I 100% agree with Emily, swimming is better with goggles. I haven't worn mine in years because I've been too self-conscious, but this has inspired me to give it another go. Thank you.

I put honey into coffee with cream, so I don't mind the taste so much. Plus I'm so used to adding honey to tea that coffee seems just natural.

I work as a barista and the amount of people who put honey in their coffee is way more than I would have ever guessed???? Like we go through a thing of honey as fast as we do our chocolate drizzle bottle

"I don't wanna be some moron running around as a dinosaur." AniMurph, 2022

"I'm coming firmly against it" about mom love interest

Belated historical fun fact! In England during the height of the slave trade, abolitionists used to use honey in tea and coffee and campaign for others to do so as a political statement because sugar was produced by slave labour - it got to the point where you would know someone’s entire political leanings by how they took their tea and coffee

I read on reddit that it is yummy to use a dollop of mayonnaise in your coffee. I have yet to have the nerve to try it but im going to at some point.

Honey in coffee called a "miel" latte in fancy coffee shops in Seattle! Little FYI for yer tastebuds

I've done honey in hot coffee with a splash of whiskey an I gotta say, I loved it. But it might be the whiskey bias

Please have Murph issue a formal apology to Keychain for the robot slander.

I cannot believe the feathered dinosaur slander

I’ve tried honey in my coffee, but it’s not as good. Ice cream is the way to go.

Gotta get that miel latte !

Lil bit of honey with an even smaller amount of salt in hot coffee 🙌 then mixed with almond milk then poured over ice

Emily, I implore you, try a honey and cinnamon latte

I have a trip where there will be opportunities to swim in a couple weeks… thank you for this reminder to get goggles I always regret not bringing any!

As a vertebrate paleontologist, all the dino hate for adults was brutal to hear. They were neat critters, let folks enjoy it! But players shouldn't be snarky

I've used honey in my coffee ever since working in a cafe in college. I think sugar kind of messes with the taste of the coffee (especially espresso) and honey doesn't to me for some reason. It gets goopy in an iced drink though, so I've recently started using maple syrup for iced stuff, it's great too!

Uses goggles in a pool freaking rules!! It's the forbidden knowledge, we aren't supposed to be able to see clearly down there, and yet with technology we do anyway!!

All the people in my life use honey in coffee hot or cold. Is it a PNW thing?

Down here in Australia mayple syrup costs far too much to ship in just to use in coffee. We reserve that pleasure for pancakes and waffles. Honey is regularly used as a sweetener in coffee by many people I know, as it has a much more appealing taste than plain sugar.

As a fellow bottom-of-the-pool enjoyer, I fucking loved the goggles bit 😄

Feels like Murph has been playing a heel this pair of Dungeon Court and I am here for it. Love y'all ❤️ love the content. Naddpod holds a special place in my weekly schedule.

I love honey in my morning coffee as a substitute to sugar, but it definitely adds a touch of honey taste

This one hurt me as a paleontologist. I wish I had a court case so I could roast the bailiff

I’m going to have a store. Literally, just Find-a-Familiar. For the cost of a literal level one spell, you can customize your own familiar. And I mean, customize the physical appearance, and then just Use it as a reskinned familiar of any other type

Love honey in my coffee. I've never heard of maple syrup in coffee before. Maybe it's a west coast/east coast difference.

Lmfao I am fucking crying “They went IN on him?!” “The mom can’t celebrate Mother’s Day” 💀💀💀💀💀

Those goggles got me gigglin'

Punishment for Dino Boy should've been: allow him to wildshape into a dinosaur but he's LITTLE, like chicken sized dinosaur lmao

ran a cafe for a couple years, my partner is still a barista, and yeah honey in coffee is a thing and really great. i would be down to try maple syrup, ive tried maple sugar in a hot latte and it was better than i thought so why not syrup? the one thing i wont do is steam the honey with the milk because it is the absolute worst to clean off the steam wand. but really do whatever floats your boat to sweeten your coffee.

Can’t believe the most controversial thing that’s happened on the podcast is Murph saying dinosaurs are for kids

My wife doesn't listen to this, not at all her thing, but I played her the part about the goggles because it immediately made me think of her. She had a good laugh.

I need fan art of Murph and Em at Sandals with all the couples canoodling at the pool!!!!

I definitely don't wanna come at Murph for the dinosaurs thing because I thought what he said was very funny, but some people just like stuff and that's fine, as demonstrated by the several other dinosaur defenders in these comments. I personally do not care about dinosaurs nor am I defending dinosaur persons behavior, but I feel like some of the dinosaur judgement was undeserved also emily bringing goggles on vacation is extremely wonderful and endearing

Way too much hate on dinosaurs and dinosaur enjoyers in this episode. Even if you think it’s childish, D&D is wish fulfillment. Where else in adult life are you going to get to pretend to be a dinosaur? There’s nothing about turning into dinosaurs that would upset other players, so what’s wrong with letting a player have that? I’ve played with a Druid named Dinoman who only turned into dinosaurs, and it was awesome. Every time he’d transform into a brontosaurus or pteradon the whole table would cheer him on. Unless it’s something that makes other players have a worse time, just roll with your players ideas and let them have their cool moments.

Emily I’ve done both honey and maple syrup, and also a mix of the two (mom is a hot ey person, dad does syrup). Both are acceptable and perhaps even good, and the best honey coffee I had was when I got some local honey from a lady on the side of the road. Pinnacle of home coffee experiences

I hold Jake and murph in contempt for their anti-Dino behavior. How dare you

@emily, honey is really good in coffee if you also add oat milk! 🧡

Chips Montgomery... sounds like someone's next character 👀

That story of Emily taking goggles to the pool was so endearing

I have no idea why I never thought about honey in coffee, it’s normal in tea so it should be good in coffee?

Taking a Kid adventuring is dangerous and not responsable! Says the party that had kids on a bag

Why not have the pool in Dice Christ confessions be a pool of holy water where players come to wash their dice of sin?

I love the google°°°°!!!

I use honey ALL THE TIME. #HONEYHONIES

Studies of the T-Rex's larynx suggest that they didn't roar, they honked like a goose.

My wife uses Honey. I just use sugar. Sometimes brown sugar. I did try Maple Syrup today in honor of Emily and Jake. It’s pretty good. I also use oat milk.

Personally I like zombies and dinosaurs, and think giant robots in Japanese media are cool as heck. But I find the family guy humour cringe like murph. Different strokes for different folks like Emily said, I think murph went a little too hard against people who like these sort of "childlike" things haha

People who don’t put honey in their hot coffee make me SICK.

I love that this came out the same week that they released a Dinosaur Druid UA

I've been drinking honey coffee for about 4 years, BUT the trick is to let the coffee cool a little bit before. It maintains some honey properties to not shove it in boiling coffee. Alo it dissolves better when it's just medium temperature/luke warm etc.

I do love honey in my coffee! But it has to be from a bear. You can't trust honey that doesn't come from a bear's belly. 🐻

Generally honey in tea goes alright

The idea of a familiar that takes the form of a child is actually really cool. Magic child

Emily, I too am a goggle-wearing bottom-of-the-pool starer!!! I also used to try and "sit" on the bottom of the pool and lay face down on the surface with the water in my ears because I liked the quiet... undiagnosed ADHD really is something else😂 my parents would get slightly perturbed to find their kid playing dead or trying to lie belly-down on the bottom. I was such a strong swimmer that they didn't really mind though. They eventually got me a set of diving sticks and would set up little agility courses for me to basically get the feeling of skimming the bottom of the pool (this also stopped me from weirding out my siblings with my "drowning victim" look) Pool freaks are valid, goggle users unite!!! Edit: just realised I forgot to say that I'm nearly 25 and I would 100% still do this

Honey is the only proper sweetener you should ever add to chai. Theres nothing else quite like tea strong tea with grated ginger, cardamom and cinnamon plus a drizzle of honey.

I've come to defend the Honey Coffee!

Seemes short rest appropriate but our own Emily Axford was cast to play Sydney Emanuel in the movie of Legacy of The ancients show for the Glass Cannon Podcast thought it was awesome seeing my 2 favorite shows cross paths like that!

Hear me out - the mom is bringing the NPCs as canon fodder; I’ve seen this before, this secret murder hobo brings weaklings with them and use them as human shields and trap canaries. You can kill off the NPCs but you may have just given them what they want. It’s 2022 Moms can be murder hobos to.

Goggle pic where

I might fight Murph and Jake over their dinosaurs opinions.

The child adoption made me think of Peyton in Dungeons and Daddies.

I. Love. Honey. Coffee.

Honey in an americano is 🤌

There are many ppl putting honey in their coffee and they're all crazy people

Add me to the Axford Goggles Gang. If you know you're going to the pool, you bring your goggs!

I love honey in my black coffee, really only works hot cuz it will melt into the covfefe but honey in cold coffee sounds like it would just sink

We had a similar druid situation as the first case but our DM gave us a item that led us to our hearts desires and our Druids led us to a jurassic Park island ran by Richard Attenborough where he saw the T-rex he was looking for

My mum always takes her coffee black with a spoon of honey. I can’t get behind it though… I humbly believe honey belongs with tea.

I know that in the campaign I play in we adopted a little ghost girl. You don’t really need to worry about her too much, but it is still a kid to have around.

I don't know what it is but being in any body of water, including pools, instantly turns me into a 5 year old. I want to race, I want to dive, I want to do wire-fighting Kung Fu while weightless in the pool. I fully support the adult goggles in pool movement.

The Player in the Case of the Rejected Adoption, if you’re ever looking for other games to play you might really enjoy Wanderhome by Possum Creek Games- one of the playbooks is called The Guardian and about having a ward to take care of

Emily is a treasure 😂

mad respect for goggles! life is short, flop around like a dolphin!

I’m here to show some love to dinosaurs in DnD. Adventuring in a jungle that’s kinda prehistoric with Dinosaurs and some big bugs has been one of my favorite one shots to play in. I love to throw in a dino as an exotic creature when I DM. Not defending the player, that is wild behavior. Didn’t Eldermourne have a bunch of zombies and robots?

I’m 22 and I really like dinosaurs!! RAWR 🦖

I tried honey coffee once and did not enjoy it.

Hi. Big defender of honey in coffee here. It’s real yummy and yes, excellent in a latte ❤️

If you put honey, and cinnamon in your milk and froth them before adding to your coffee it’s amazing!

I like the idea that this dinosaur player is actually a kid 🦕

I defend the stance of wanting to play dinosaurs. Reptiles in general are cool and dinosaurs are, in essence, just bigger lizards. I've always thought their embodiment in fantasy campaigns is never that strange especially since dragons, kobolds, dragonborns, wyverns and drakes all exist in these settings. In a fantasy setting where you're trying to engage in these fantasy scenarios: would you rather turn into a boar that you can easily find in the real world or a reptile that you've only heard of in stories and books?

Cafe con miel is absolutely normal.

I’m here to fiercely defend honey coffee.

In the case of the people going in on NPCs for not joining them, my advice is that sometimes you need to be very clear and concise as a DM talking to your PLAYERS, not just in character speaking to the party. I’ve done this a few times for the same reason where I just look at my party and go “there’s six of you, plus a bunch of enemy NPCs I’m going to be keeping track of in initiative, along with whatever you summon and whatever familiars you have. Not everyone is an adventurer. If you’re going to play D&D, play D&D and stop trying to engage the NPCs of my universe to do it for you, and also making it harder on me just so you have less responsibility on yourself.” Sometimes you really have to lay it all on the table like that and let them know. This one hit me because I’ve had players do the same thing and it irritates me to no end.

I am 34, not a scientist, and dinosaurs fucking rule. And feathered dinosaurs are the only way to go. I think you sinned against Dino Christ, who is way more rad than Dice Christ. Cause he has feathers. Check out the new Prehistoric Planet. It is freaking amazing.

Honey hive rise up!

I am pro goggles on vacation.

My guys we exclusively sweeten our coffee with honey.

Maple syrup is waaaay more illegal in coffee what are you all talking about? You never have had a honey latte?

I’m currently playing one of two warforged characters in a tomb of annihilation campaign. I cracked up when Murph got worked up about robots and zombies and dinosaurs because I felt so specifically called out since our campaign has ALL THREE (and it’s rad as hell).

As if Emily couldn’t get any fucking cuter, imagining the goggle situation makes me love her even more lol

Good content but can we stop pretending these are not entirely made up?

Wait I thought D&D stood for Diapers & Daddies?

I put honey in hot tea instead of sugar

A cafe miel is pretty common! It's like a latte with honey in it.

I'm with Emily on the goggles. I actually couldn't learn how to swim until I wore big snorkeling goggles and then nothing could stop me spending time sitting on and exploring the bottom of the pool.

As a fellow goggle user, I have never supported Emily more.

The honey almond milk flat white at Starbucks is pretty good

The goggles thing makes me want to hang with Emily so bad. She literally doesn't care what anyone thinks and I love that.

This is the first time I’ve vehemently disagreed with Murph, Dino’s are rad

Im about to camping, and OMG I almost forgot my goggles!! But now I will be at the bottom of a river tomorrow trying to look at shit~ ty ty justices

Barely into the ep, but yes black coffee with honey is my favorite way to have coffee.

I agree, give that person a talking dog. Have a druid npc they help who has a dog companion that is the pup of their original companion. Through some fuckery have the druid either die or stay behind and they cast awaken on the dog. A newly awakened dog could fill that void of a child.

I put honey in my partner's coffee every morning!

Ok bopper

I’ve put honey in some iced coffee, but the one time I put it in a hot coffee it hit so wrong.

There was a special drink a the cafe I work at last month that was a lavender honey americano so it’s definitely not unheard of

I fully support honey in coffee. You take your honey, you take your cream, and boom you got coffbee. I used to drink it before I started my day as a teacher and it would sooth my throat and get me ramped up to rant about history.

Caldwell did not get nearly enough credit for his "Let's play Devil Dinosaur's advocate" joke

The court is really where the Jens Nyack relationship shines in this universe

Ginger infused honey baby! Sounds weird in coffee but you gotta try it!

Honey works, maple syrup is the goat tho

Starbucks had a limited time honey and Madagascar vanilla coffee blend. It was like drinking strong floral coffee....it wasn't great but not bad either.

I do honey in coffee and my friends and I call them honey bombs 🤣

I put honey in my coffee sometimes, but depending on the kind of honey it can get a weird aftertaste. So far the best sweetners I've tried in lattes are rosemary syrup and rose syrup.

Honey in coffee sounds good if I could still drink coffee. My weird drink that I'll defend is a 50-50 mix of Code red mountain dew and Chocolate milk. Best chocolate cherry soda around

I had to hear how they were treating my best friend Jake

I paused the ep because it's very important that I get in here early to mention that I wasn't allowed to listen to any contemporary music as a kid, so I just had a bunch of random mix tapes of music from the 50s and stuff, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly, and one incredibly inappropriate song from the Big Bopper in which he is begging his woman for sex over the phone? Anyway. Chantilly lace and a purdy face y'all

I don’t do coffee, but putting honey in my tea in the morning has been my morning routine for years now

Man more and more I am horrified by some of the cases yall put out, like some of your groups are awesome, but nightmarish XD

You put maple syrup in your coffee??? Now I gotta try it!

Love that Jake was so uncomfortable with compliments that they all went back to endearing insults.
