D&D Court: Bonus Cases - Sex Panthers and Pants Dampeners

The deep sigh at 16:02 🤣

Sex Jefferies = Young thug's DnD character

jake: if sex lasts for a long time austin powers: uh, thank you

It’s hilarious to relisten to this and hear how truly charitable Murph was to anchorman saying that it’s not funny to quote it even though it’s a funny movie and then everyone came after him

I'm with murph. Just think of a fucking fantasy name, I absolutely would not let a character named something flippant and dumb be in my world that I have spent over a year crafting. DMs deserve to have an immersive world too. Also anchorman wasn't that good, move on.

Will confirm for you: yeah, pissing yourself and not caring, while in combat is a thing. Sometimes, it's simply because you have to pee and there is no "time out" It happens

Murph just hates silly names in DnD for no reason. At no point did the DM say that Sex Panther was a problem player. Murph just decided that because he hates the name.

I assume the friend of the bitter player was just a ride or die mother fucker who was mad for their friend. Tbh sounds like a good friend to me

This episode was worth the price of Patreon alone 😆

Murph literally named a character cooter.

In defense of Sex Panther, my absolute favorite and well rounded character to date is named Blippi Springstep, named after that dipshit annoying children's YouTube character. However, the similarities between my Blippi and the YouTube personality start and end exactly there. If Blippi died, I would be a broken man and maybe leave the campaign altogether.

Dang, my husbands DM is just like the only rogues dm. Dude clearly has a vision and a huge story he wants to tell, but is trying to force it through a dnd lens :/

hi can someone pretty please tell me where to put submissions for court cases im new here

Emily has such a wild list of movies she hasn't seen - have they ever talked about why? Does she just not like sitting down to watch full movies?

This was great! Can't believe my case got on! Note about Sex Panther: I was hesitant to ok the name because it felt kind of cringy, but this player was sooooo set on it and was the most excited of the group to play and it was the first character he had ever made. I adjusted during gameplay and would just call him Sex instead of the full name.

I just got a catalog from ULINE that has Ron Burgundy laying across the cover and says "our huge selection is kind of a big deal"

I'm sure people aren't going to care, but something on the piss pants Merc story: In the book Red Platoon by Clinton Romesha, he entails the battle in which he got his Medal of Honor. While under fire, someone (can't remember off the top of my head) took a dump fully in an ammo box while simultaneously calling in air strikes on Taliban forces in the Korengal Valley while their base was under attack. Just a fun thing about battle and bathroom habits.

Caldwell’s “A little bit of a brag but okay” in regard to Emily claiming her pee doesn’t smell is the most underrated response. I died laughing.

Also, do I have to piss myself next DnD session bc Jake said so? Because I will...

I wonder how an Anchorman themed DnD one-shot would go.

Strong agreement Emily. I also don’t like bananas. Though my issue is more texture than taste related.

My friend built a Kenku Bard as a throwaway for a one shot named Boing Boing. That campaign ended up going on for almost 2 years.

To be fair, "Moonshine" and "Hardwon" (Hard one) could be viewed as joke names too

there is prejudice against characters with goofy names in this court

Ran Boston Marathon in 97. First half mile is just filled with runners running into the woods (no leaves) shitting! Blew my mind!!

So does Emily hate bananas bc Chiquita destabilized a south American country to sell bananas

Nah I can totally buy Sex Panther actually being totally serious and invested, I've seen tons of great characters where the name/concept is just a dumb pun or reference, but the character itself is played completely straight.

I'm playing through Tomb of Annihilation on Roll20 and I successfully recommended to our DM that we roll private death saves because it's meant to be a bit of a meat grinder and we already lifted the death save DC to 12, and it's for exactly the reason you suggested where it makes it more tense and prevents metagaming for healing.

Brick killed a guy

Can’t wait for the mixed bag where the crew watches and comments on Anchorman for Emily’s first time

I don’t like bananas either, especially ripe bananas. They taste too…. banana-y. But I’ll begrudgingly eat a banana that has a touch of green, it tastes a little better. And the texture… the texture leaves me feeling as if I’m eating wet cotton.

I mean Anchorman is a fine movie, but tbh it makes me uncomfortable how people like Murph are sooooooo obsessed with it.

I must admit that I hated (and still do) naming TTRPG characters. So, 9/10 times my character was a min-maxed character with a pop culture reference name. The worst was a backup character I built called Magnitude (the Pop Pop kid from Community) during college.

Also nothing against the opinions here (the crit's rulings are Supreme, of course) but god do I hate the entire concept of hidden death saves.

"I'm the man of the year" just made me realize that Emily and Julia Lepetit share a lot of the same energy and now I'm REALLY curious what they'd be like in a room together.

I am also here to defend Sex Panther! I'll always get 100% more invested in my silly-on-the-surface characters named shit like Trashy Dickolas compared to some rube named Borgnar Bloodhammer. Murphy simply has bad taste in this one case!

To be fair, wasn’t Binky Fiasco supposed to be super well built and powerful?

Honestly, the name Sex Panther is a bit like Anchorman: it's funny at first, then it gets old, but after a while it might just get funny again.

I hope we get an Owlbear next

Is anyone else mad about how much murph hates anchorman?

Massachusetts is a commonwealth Jake you can’t practice in states

also hilarious how many anchor man/sex panther defenders in the comments lmao

foolish of me to expect an answer about why emily doesn’t like bananas

Don't act like you're not impressed

PSA: don’t watch Anchorman, it does not hold up

#NABBPod

Murph turning out to be the Clarence Thomas of DnD court was a turn I didn’t expect

Obviously *I’m* not Emily but I don’t eat bananas either. I was complaining once about how acidic they are to a friend when I was having leg cramps and they were so confused and I said “You know, that banana mouth feel that stings.” This was how I found out in my late 20s I’m mildly allergic to bananas because of something called Oral Allergy Syndrome.

i love sex panther; they were so committed to playing! just because they had a silly name doesnt mean they cant be serious about playing the game! i imagine a very suave and sensual paladin in skimpy gold plate armor with black fur everywhere, who has risque signature moves ala jens' infinite cheeks of destiny; and another thing, how dare murph go off on sex panther so hard when they did NOTHING WRONG and jens could burlesque dance so good that ALL of his genitals are imperceivable! little finch behavior murph should be punished to act in the next b-list dnd movie

There's a lot w the one DM who was apparently new in the second case that just felt weird. I get a lot of it bc I play older DnD but if this is the first time they've DMd and are playing 5e this seems weird. Like they've read too much online. Should totally just play B/X dnd

Ima Murph Stan, but Murph went to hard on Sex Panther. And I agree this once with Em Murph should be punished. Watch another bad movie for mixed bag and gaslight him about it being good.

I used to say the pet is in "the glass case of emotion" when I worked as a vet assistant and we had a plexiglass box we used to sedate cats and other small animals.

A real punishement is to force someone watch "Wake up and smell the coffee Ron Burgundy", the pseudo-movie they cobbled from the tons of unused scenes from the first.

Hardwon did become a Dracula like Ron Burgandy. Maybe Murph is deflecting.

If you think about it, Calder is sort of in a glass case of emotions

I work in broadcast television and if you think the general populace overquoted Anchorman, actual anchors and reporters have never let it die. Harry Caray's grandson used to work at my station and he would quote Anchorman on air and ended every broadcast with "Stay classy, [town]."

You think Sex Panther is bad? My first game (and only game sadly… hard to find groups in the Midwest) my DM made an npc named “Wilma Dicfit”

I have played a Ron Burgundy character, and it is an Afternoon Delight.

I'm just here for Emily's Tahiti zucchini banana bread recipe

Anchorman mixed bag when?

Weird for Murph to go so hard against Sex Panther when he made me feel actual emotion for a guy named Cooter

“Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.” Never has a movie quote been more appropriate for D&D.

And on that day, boing-boieng idoithead was born

I have a Tabaxi character that I minmaxed the hell out of, and his name is Okra.

Sounds kinky

So clearly the next mixed bag needs to be them watching anchor man

Wild, I got here first Nerds
