The Tortle Tank: Homebrew Review! (w/ Jasper William Cartwright)

AD-FREE EPISODE FOR $5+ PATRONS!

Welcome to Tortle Tank, the show where four flippered financiers review your D&D homebrew and decide if they want to invest their hard-earned eggs. This week, the Tortles, as well as shellebrity guest Jasper William Cartwright (3 Black Halflings) take a look at crit-inducing coins, initiative hacks and one confusingly stealthy doll. Let's dive right in!

That coin of certainty still amuses me. Just such a poor idea

I lost it when Murph defended himself about the “overly masculine” metal dice. Also, I loved listening to Jasper laugh this entire episode! He was such a delight and great addition to the chaos table!

Whoever Nathan T. Who sent the gang Reingeist- I live in your area! Let's go to a live show someday

"He's lost in the tank" nearly killed me😂

When you think about it everything’s already a 50/50 chance because it either happens or it doesn’t so we should all just use coins.

NursingWounds · February 1, 2024

This has the kind of energy I want to bring into the real world. There's a 50/50 shot I win the lottery if I play, and I love that. XD

Daniel Anderson · August 23, 2022

I feel like the throwing dice rule just came up when a bunch of players were rolling and one time a player hit another die, and it was ruled that it was allowed. But I think its only intended in cases where multiple people are rolling, as opposed to some sort of advantage or luck point where you decide to start chucking extra dice.

I'm a 5e DM, but I really love 2e. It is great for multi-classing and it offers so much customization.

Morgan Monroe · August 10, 2022

There’s something about the camaraderie pertaining to D20 truck nuts in these comments that makes me love this community.

J
John The Third · August 9, 2022

From the shout outs… Rhinegeist is awesome. So glad it’s in IL now.

N
Nick Powell · August 11, 2022

Uhhhh we have Rhinegeist in IL???? This changes everything

Z
Zoe Jones · August 9, 2022

Bold of yall to assume that I won't put D20 truck nuts on my Honda civic

S
Stephanie F · August 9, 2022

Same.

J
Jesse De La Rosa · August 9, 2022

It is 1 die and multiple dice. 😁

B
Blue Ashe · August 8, 2022

I don't know how to feel with Murph correctly guessing my age right with the truck nuts bit

D
Dylan Irish · August 8, 2022

Anything with one or more Halflings in it is a good plus up for an ep! Love having jasper in this

M
Max Roniger · August 8, 2022

I want those truck nuts lol

I'm sorry but dice bocce is already being used. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1818197062/bocce-dice-0

Damn I didnt put a turtle pun in my pitch.

The future mavarus chronicles could really benefit from fuck points 👉

Kevin Wixom · August 7, 2022

Man I completely underplayed Fleshy's role in the description. I gave him to the team Cleric because his heavy armor meant he kept failing stealth checks AND it made him question his own God as it was a "living" automaton, something he would view as heretical, and he was always fighting the juxtaposition of "devout follower" and "independent do gooder".

M
Marge In Charge · August 7, 2022

There was such strong Billy Mayes OXYCLEAN energy from Murph that I think his next gig needs to be an infomercial. This was the try out. “ONE IS NAMED APPLEKIN AND OTHER ONE IS NAMED ORANGEKIN” 😂😂😂😂

T
Tyler Foster · August 6, 2022

Murph: "One.. ironic.. 19 year old." Me: "Actually I'm 22"

J
Josh Stadtmiller · August 6, 2022

My slammed drift truck would love scraping truck duts

G
Grass · August 6, 2022

I need to learn to drive and get a truck now

J
Jorde · August 6, 2022

Fia had that tight Josh Allen spiral

Tim · August 5, 2022

I would buy D20 truck nuts almost immediately to put on my Toyota Matrix.

L
Lady Land Puma · August 5, 2022

100% would buy the D20 truck nuts for my DM 🤣

A
Austin Johnson · August 5, 2022

God help me I heard the call for fan art of a Bailiff Tortle with a big ass and handcuffs and I delivered.

I
Ilana Galpert · August 5, 2022

I miss our owl entrepreneurs, but i do love the new tank. maybe there's a compromise here. there are owl bears and dragon turtles--why not owl tortles?

M
Marissa Bickford · August 5, 2022

Absolutely living for this format! More plz 🙏 Great inspo. And also now I’m thinking of lizards with nipple tassels - but entirely no nipples 🤷

D
Desiree K · August 5, 2022

I love Emily's laughter of pure joy at the concept of yeeting dice at other dice.

M
Marissa Bickford · August 5, 2022

Yeah! Bocce ball rules 😂

N
Neji · August 5, 2022

I like the B team idea, I was already planning on doing something like this in my campaign, inspired by a similar mechanic in Assassins Creed Brotherhood and Revelations

B
Bryce Vernon · August 5, 2022

I’m definitely the dice truck nuts kinda guy😂😂😂

G
Grace Bee · August 5, 2022

Lol my first dnd character was a halfling bard and I drive a Ford f150 XL, 2 different Ford rangers, a Chevy S10, and a Dodge Dakota for my job. So I would buy at least one pair of truck d20 nuts!

K
Kevin Wixom · August 7, 2022

I've got a bright pink 94 F150 lwb 2wd. Understand completely.

atlasrising · August 5, 2022

My fave thing about Jasper is that he can be on either end of the Caldwell-Murph dichotomy. Like he absolutely has hardass no-nonsense DM-Murph energy but equally the Jasper/Caldwell combo is just *chefs kiss* 😂 I'd love to see a chaotic Jasper/Caldwell vs sibling energy Jake/Em one shot or something... Although Murph may need a complete nonsense detox afterward

E
Emily Kelly · August 5, 2022

i think you guys should run seasons of this and then at the end each have to run a one shot implementing all of the home brew rules you’ve collected. or an all out brawl like the 8 bit book club monster mash and you use them like skills against each other LOL

K
Kyle Veach · August 5, 2022

...what's wrong with metal dice?

D
Dallon Taylor · August 5, 2022

dont yall SELL a challenge coin?? why does no one have a coin!? 🤣🤣

N
Not Another D&D Podcast · August 5, 2022

I actually DID use the challenge coin! It's normally on my bookshelf where I record. However, when you live with a toddler things are rarely where you last left them. ~Caldwell

D
Dan · August 5, 2022

I know that it’s readily evident if you’ve been within 10ft of Caldwell opening his mouth, but I love the self awareness of his insanity

N
Nathann Morais · August 5, 2022

Alright alright alright. I love owlbear cave and I love that it is back, revamped, full of tortle references. I also love having Jake put his business side to use throwing jargons around in context to homebrew ideas and eggs. Tortle tank and Dungeon court are the perfect "D&D shows abou d&d that are super fun and don't need to be actual play". Also Jasper works so well with the crew!

B
Ben Delany · August 5, 2022

Hearing them say “tordle” so much reminded me of this wordle joke I made a few months ago. https://tordlehost.github.io

S
Sand Panda · August 5, 2022

So yea... might be stealing the truck nuts idea. I'm sure to give by word of mouth where the idea came from. ❤

J
J. Marshall Smith · August 5, 2022

I don't know if you all actually read these comments but I sent you all some stuff in the PO box a while ago and I don't care that much about the shout out but I am bit worried you didn't get it?

A
Ariel, the Occasional Mermaid · August 5, 2022

You could try posting this question in the community feed—Caldwell responds to questions over there pretty regularly!

Mae B · August 5, 2022

I would find some way to put truck nut dice on my tiny corolla I need them

Currently saving for a truck and I would definitely buy some truck twenties

Megan Ortiguerra-Rojas · August 5, 2022

I DIED when Murph screamed his tangent

H
Hipster · June 18, 2026

I was already deciding this episode was one of my favorites and then THAT happened! It solidified my decision.

C
Chris Atkins · August 5, 2022

Caldwell's commitment to the bit even to the detriment of the pod... incredible

D
Declan Konesky · August 5, 2022

I would totally have truck twenties if I had a truck. But I have a van 🥲

E
Evilbob02 · August 5, 2022

Id like to point out the two crew or choo choo crew put out a deathsave coin, in the merch club, not long ago. Similar to the coin of certainty.

B
Ben Jackson · August 5, 2022

I personally love the group rolling tray idea, and will be suggesting it to my no chortle DM

S
Sy Delta Parkertron · August 5, 2022

Aw man the slime was me! I asked them to put a message for you in the package but I guess they didn't. Glad you like it!

S
Sy Delta Parkertron · August 5, 2022

I just discovered the fun of playing with a slime and thought a Creek Water slime might tickle Emily's fancy

R
Robin Moran · August 5, 2022

'The Pumpkin Chronicles' and 'The Pumpkin Guy' are basically Grib (Jacob Wysocki) in Zak Oyama's Rotating Heroes Podcast 😂

Summer Rose (Grantaire) · August 5, 2022

yooooo shout out to rhinegeist! i moved here recently and they got me into beer. cool to know fellow naddpod lovers work there :)

H
Hedge · August 5, 2022

Right?! We Cinci-nadpoles need to get on pitching a live show here. (Also, welcome to town!) Rhinegeist's rooftop is gorgeous and I think it's out of season but Night Whale is such a Fia beer.

a
aiyana graham art · August 5, 2022

I think about emily saying "your stupid, thunking metal dice" all the time from when murph tried to roll them on a starstruck odyssey

a
aiyana graham art · August 5, 2022

the throwing your d20s at one another to change the roll and them talking about the utter chaos of rolling has beardsley energy/behavior written allllll over it

G
Garrett Morrow · August 5, 2022

I don’t even own a truck and I would absolutely buy a set of d20 truck nuts

D
David Lipscomb · August 5, 2022

I ran a Goliath Barbarian and fellow PC was a kobold rogue. We crafted a backpack for me to carry her around on my back like Master Blaster. She got sneak attack every attack every time

Initiative grouping is used in baldurs gate 3 the game! Works really smoothly to speed up combat.

Figgy Blue · August 5, 2022

The metal really shows how stupid this will be, in a good but douchy way.

Driftwood747 · August 5, 2022

Yall gunna get lost in the tank again

K
Kelley · August 5, 2022

So glad to witness the return of turdiss. Edit: I listened to this right before bed last night and my dreams were haunted by Emily chuck checking D20s in the background.

YAY! so excited to listen.
