D&D Court: Helm Hammerhand, Skinny Holes, and Rolling for Dinner

I LOVE the dice rolled food idea tbh. Depends on the group. For chill and adventurous eaters, it rules. Go Caldwell! 🩷 Obvs not for everyone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edit: I didn’t wait for the discussions before posting, dunno how to delete it 🙈 — The solution for the player in love with his Toyota: he doesn’t just want an OP vehicle, he wants something as strong as a PC - so why not give it to them? But they’d need to change classes (or pilot a ‘guest’ to get it out of their system) Like so: An Artificer with a steel defender, but flavored so that the PC is the defender, and the car is the artificer — climbing walls, casting spells, dealing damage, a even mount at higher levels (pick a powerful build species, maybe homebrew a warforged swapping out s/t for it – like the no need for food etc, since cars need gas?).

I think a single threat if played off as more playful could be fine. For instance I used to threaten to send my friends dildos to their address so their parents would freak

I think the way to do the random meal thing is to get everyone's actual order and then roll for a single additional dish to add. Then everyone gets to try a few bites of something new but if it's something they don't want it doesn't mess with their meal.

Fun way to solve the car case is to make the car hot wheel sized. Can only cast two cantrips, or could be a heal bot that can also give advantage

@Caldwell, if you're curious about tomatoes in Chinese food, try asking for fried tomatoes and eggs sometime. It's a pretty common dish

i love that right off this bat this isn't even DnD related having your grave filled in with dice is a great idea. I intend to have my organs donated to science or w/e so maybe those could just be replaced with dice

I have to workshop the rolling for dinner pitch: everyone orders what they want, and the group also rolls for one random dish to taste together. That’ll be 10k eggs or 13 brown leaves. (Is there an established exchange rate?)

yuncles and yaunts made me laugh out loud on the bus at rush hour 💀

I have to say, I voluntarily randomized my food orders for *years* in college. Asian restaurants were the best because everything was already numbered, so just put the highest number in a random number generator. Excellent way to order, I recommend to everyone. (I can't anymore as I've been vegetarian for 6 years). On a separate note I also would flip a coin to make major life decisions. Also in college, I had two offers for internships, one in Wisconsin and one in California. Couldn't decide so I flipped a coin, and ended up meeting my wife in California. She doesn't like thinking about how a different coin flip would have meant we never met. I will say, if you decide to live like this, *NO REROLLS.* You must accept to outcome, or bail out before you see the result. Many times just flipping the coin makes you realize what you want before you see the result. In that case don't look at what it would have been.

i'm spoiled now and keep hoping for another video court case XD

I would absolutely love to go see dungeon court live

The dice devil rolls spin down dice for d20’s and uses the d4’s with the numbers on the bottom

Man, if someone ordered my food for me after I bought them whatever dumb food they wanted the week before, I’d be so bullshit. Not everyone just eats anything and a lot of people have good allergies or food sensitivities. I have a lot of texture issues and truly, getting something that I couldn’t eat, even with sides, is not the thing. The hardest of passes. Not everyone eats the same way you do. Bleh.

MY FAVORITE VIGGO FACT IS THAT HE BROKE A TOOTH DURING A SWORD FIGHT AND THEY HAD TO FORCE HIM TO GO GET IT FIXED INSTEAD OF FINISHING THE SCENE i have no idea if caldwell finds this Viggo fact later during the episode, i was too excited to comment about my favorite one.

When rhe fj section came up was right when I parked next to a fj cruiser lmao

There is a cave called "The Shaft" in a random paddock in South Australia that has an opening barely big enough for a single person (divers' gear needs to be winched in separately) that is hundreds of feet deep AND it was first discovered by a horse putting it's hoof through the opening while walking across it. Fortunately the horse was too big to fall in the hole, and they put a bit of corrugated metal over the hole when people aren't diving in it, but there ARE just random max-damage holes out there in the world.

i NEED a follow up from the maniac who fucked with everyones food

Caldwell wouldn’t worry about the threat until a knife was drawn. But isn’t he the one who got knocked out by a bunch a fweens in the crux? Learn a lesson Zerk

As an autistic person, the random food case is my actual worst nightmare.

The first ever dnd court gets announced in MY city and I get tickets and you follow it up with the most viggo-heavy episode to date??? Is this show literally made for me??

3rd Viggo fact Arwen's stunt double fell in love with her horse so Viggo bought it for her. Allegedly.

Murph's outburst during the food case had me CACKLING

Sorry ya'll, I couldn't make it past the first case without pausing it to watch the extended edition of The Two Towers while working from home today. Looking forward to the other cases after the next 4 hours!

I was thinking of ways to do friendly intimidation checks and I landed on "Threaten to tickle the NPC". Intimidation player should have rolled a tickle check as to not harsh the vibe.

In regards to the "brutal" DM, I'll just say this: there's brutal and then there's bullshit. This DM reeks of bullshit to me.

Murph Ness main confirmed. 1v1, final destination, no items

I will pay so much money to have Caldwell call me and threaten my life in his Adam Driver voice

Skinny hole is insane, it's gotta be perception for noticing things in your environment unless it's specifically a trap. Also, 200 feet? Is so deep???

What kind of psychopath watches anything in a shared bed by themselves _without_ headphones...

Y’all are sincerely such a treat for my Friday commute

I think the more important detail about the pitfall trap is that the DM said it was "too late" to switch what kind of ability check to do when they prompted the wrong one and was corrected. It kind of just sounds like they want to kill PCs, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just weird to do that to someone who just joined your campaign.

Video episode coming?

I love the roll for food idea but not as a surprise. If everyone agrees to it for fun I love it. The surprise without anything else seems rough

The FJ reminds me of Odyssey-san from Dungeons & Daddies

The person who did the food thing should apologize. This was a collective agreement among the group, involving MONEY and food, and this person violated it in a rude, weird way. People have food allergies, follow specific diets for their health, etc. I would ask the person to take the next two turns buying food.

Murph was right, my heart wasn't in the right place and I am a frickin troll

The dude that brought the surprise takeout had me cackling out loud 😭

I dunno, my favorite bar in Toronto is a dnd bar where you can roll a d20 for what shot you drink! Sands it's super fun. But it is only a shot, not a meal. Plus you get to roll in the moment. Maybe they should've rolled right before ordering, and taken one disadvantage roll in game if they want to change their meal irl!!

All the polyam talk lately, especially after the new flag came out, is making my little polyamorous heart so happy

Thank you! I just finished bar prep for the day and this notification is a gods send.

Okay but I don't think the food thing was nearly as bad as they made it out to be? Then again I'm closer to a human garbage disposal than anything resembling a picky eater, so maybe it's not my place to speak.

Speed Ranger. Thats it.

Murph is a Ness main confirmed

There is another Viggo fact! At the end of the Fellowship of the Ring, when the Orc throws a knife at him and Aragorn parries it, that was a real knife! Viggo Mortensen is just that good of a swordsman!

A completely rogue court Justice Tanner punishing for punishing sake straight off the bat. Those who cherish the sanctity of the court beware!

If you are listening at normal speeds, at the time this comment is posted it is impossible to have listened to the whole dungeon court episode. Fun facts on Naddpod #1

Why no more videos?

thus was a crazy one already listened to it all the way through at 3x speed you guys are in for a whild ride but I'm not fucking spoiling anything so don't even try asking

I literally just started my lunch hell yeah

Return to video this week or nah?

Sexy!

Hmmmm seems like jake wrote the description tho
