D&D Court: Bonus Cases - Minionsplaining (w/ Aabria Iyengar)

Duncle needs to use Cowards Feast against the triplets in Strahd

my bbeg in my home campaign is gonna be a guy who just wanted to be a chef, devoted years of his life to become the best chef ever, eventually harboring magic powers that help others around him and help his food taste amazing... but everyone clowns him for being a loser who is obsessed with food. this dude is about to be twisted as fuck

Caldwell explaining Minions hits different after he played a Minion on Rotating Heroes

I'm surprised how painful it was to hear so much defense for letting someone play a minion. Just. Absolutely not. 😂Y'all admitted to not having seen the minion movies and you don't sound like you're aware of the minion discourse over the movies and ahorts. She also mentioned that the Mom liked the minion memes, which are like antivax vegan Facebook memes. I absolutely couldn't handle it 😂. I think their solution of having minion-like traits was completely the right move, not only in avoiding annoying minion antics, but also allowing the Mom to make her own character and not get stuck in a personality box. I would not enjoy playing in a campaign with a minion; it's sort of like playing with a low intelligence child character who constantly wanders off and acts like an imp, ignoring all strategy and incapable of stealth. You mention having them give the help action, but they truly wouldn't be helpful. Having minion like characters would be great, but minions as-are definitely wouldn't be.

Cowards Crumb

Wait, so we're anti-Jerry but pro-minion? This court's all over the place

I know I’m a few days late on this but I want to be clear: if this is now a pro-Blippi podcast I’m cancelling my patreon sub. We can not equivocate on Blippi. Blippi is bad.

The only reason I know about Blippi was my friend talking about this article on FaceBook: Kids YouTube Star Blippi “Regrets” The Viral Video In Which He Poops All Over His Friend Boy being in your 30s is fun!

“You’re gunna defend this fucking Blippi??” 😂😂 I love Caldwell for this.

Dr. Momma Jones (board certified OBGYN) actually watches episodes of "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant" monthly on her YouTube channel. Highly educational and entertaining videos. Also, if you're ever in doubt, just go take a pregnancy test, ya'll. The $0.88 ones are just as accurate and readily available.

Je suis Jerry 🫡

Hearing the heroes feast story made me so happy for that lizard chef and then so mad that their friends would object to that!

Oof the pregnant bard is controversial… in the lie, the bard “knew” she was pregnant, so the ghost was actively checking….

I was jumping up and down aboit Caldwell hating on Blippy oh my god. I taught preschool for a few years and Blippy is the WORST. I’ve never been able to commiserate about that with anyone. 😅

it would have felt weird to "um actually" my own death though

Something very like the last dice christ confession happened to me last session. My DM--who keeps track of our hp--rolled damage to see if he permakilled my character. My character's hp was 21. The first damage roll of the attack got me to -1, and on the heels of that came 20 poison damage. My DM: "Wow it's so crazy. Your HP is 21, right? That means you were one away from being killed" Me: "yeah..."

For the second to last Dice Christ confession the player should have a 50% chance of getting the wild magic surge of fireball. So instead of every choice being two numbers the lower number is fireball. Story wise you could justify it as they suppressed the surge so hard that it had festered and has to come out.

Please listen to the Tom Segura bit on “I didn’t know I was pregnant” First, I thought I had to take a shit, but then it wasn’t a shit…it was a baby. Warning: it does contain ethnic humor, but the intent is still very fucked up and funny.

Man I love having Aabria on the panel. The insight is golden and I love the chemistry in the crew.

I feel like there is not nearly enough generational trauma here because you guys are way too lenient towards moms and grandmas 😂

You heard it here first folks, babies don't have souls

I love the Chef Lizardfolk Monk

Justice Tanner, as a parent of two toddlers I just want to recommend that you enjoy the Blippi phase. I felt the way you did until they graduated into weirder and less educational toddler content. Vlad and Niki, ASMR Adults playing with kids toys, and just pure chaotic content is on the horizon.

Aabria’s defense of Jerry and reasoning behind it is amazing. Definitely a great example to follow when handling confrontation.

The last story is about my lil frog, Cherry (short for Cherome, rhymes with Jeremy)! This group is really great and the stories and bonds between our characters are really something special. Funnily enough, this isn't the first explosion in-game that happened and it was also caused by this little frog, a Fire Bolt, and a lot of wine. It's fully not done, but I was drawing a comic about this particular moment. Here's a little snippet of it: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/983330967798312980/1006868691562020874/unknown.png Thanks for sharing this story! Love the podcast and can't wait to hear more.

I feel like its worth pointing out that many deets and hints dropped on jerry were left out for the sake of keeping the submission as short as possible. Between the two sessions, we all tried to push jerry towards maybe not playing this character in the way he was. Still, super hyped to have the case make it to court

I love Aabria she is so chaotic 😂

Murph go to bed, it's late 😂😂
