TIL Murph isn't saying sled weird and sledge is not just for hammers
Are there just no short rests for episodes 50 and 51? I can't find them
Missing from the collection for me, but if I Google it, I can find the direct link to it
mustard streak is my new band name
Late to the game but I think a great ice sport for them would be an ice-skating roller-derby
My dad works craps tables, can't wait to ask him hotdog vs d12
Okay he's given his thoughts: D12 would be a no bet-- no money won off, the dealer would be like wtf and if you were like "it was a joke" you'd just get a well don't do that. If you tried to do smth covert you might get kicked. However, a hotdogs covered with mustard would be an instant throw out
This is perhaps my favorite short rest ever!
Better than the bathtub brisket?
Ohhhhh fuck people were thinking the thing? I was so fixated on how these avatars remind me of cell from dbz. Way better comparison on there part I’ll take the little l on that one
Some fun winter sports: Snow kiting!!! (is awesome) Ice climbing Also, look up bandy!!! It’s basically soccer and hockey
came to the comments to see if anybody mentioned bandy/innebandy
The last time I was in Vegas (October 2022) I was eating a quesadilla by a craps table where my friends were playing. The pit boss made me step back onto the tiled walkway and off of the carpeted area where the tables were.
The entire Mustard Saga is just a Tim Robinson skit.
Just finished The Blacktongue Thief! Loved it so hard
FYI the author read the audiobook
Just want you guys to know that the current season of True Detective is also the Thing
It was so good too
Whenever I heard ‘Birdy’ in the episode, I couldn’t NOT think of Nanalan and the ‘it’s ok birdy’ meme 🥹
Hypothetical—you are required to take a combat or magic casting based feat (like no charisma cheat, I’m talking fey touched or tavern brawler etc) from 5e but have to use it at least 3x a week without being caught. You must do this for a year and if done successfully you receive 1 (dr evil voice) million dollars for every year you complete the task. If you get caught you become 10% less proficient in your best IRL stat (like charisma or con/endurance). You are allowed 3 close calls in a 12 month period.
The thing is the best movie ever made
I can't believe they've never seen it, especially how similar this arc is
Is Gregor up in the NOSHO as captain of the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs ?
This sounds like a I Think You Should Leave sketch
The thing with the mustard would be, are you attempting to obscure the pips on the dice to fraudulently claim a better result?
More lower numbered dice make them roll average more often
Paying for them to talk about hotdogs for 10 minutes is a fucking waste of money
That was the best part are you kidding
Caught yellow-handed
As a person who lives in Las Vegas, I can assure you that you could easily be eating a hotdog at a craps table and be drunk enough (realistically or for pretend), to mix up your hands. I imagine they’d kick you off the table for it, but you wouldn’t get kicked out. Throwing a d12 (mustard covered or otherwise) will absolutely get you kicked out, and potentially banned from all the casinos under that umbrella company. Vegas takes their devotion to Dice Christ very seriously.
Every anime esque reference I imagine myself smiling and nodding politely next to Jake
I am a converted 2D6 over a D12 and always picking up great weapons fighting, I used to love a battle axe but my current character uses a maul and being someone with shit rolls, two D6 is so much more fun, also it gets click clacking when you roll
If you need to roll a 11 or 12 pick the d12 (you'll get either 1/12 of the time), if you just care about the average pick the 2 d6s (average of 7 vs 6.5)!
How about “Intro Lore 2024”. No context lore dump about each person and no questions.
Proposed sport: Broomball. It’s perfect.
every single short rest has an "I think you should leave" sketch baked into it, and that's why it's the best DnD after show
MURPH I love the idea of something with a royal family !!
Ice lacrosse 🥍
As a professional craps dealer, I want so badly to answer all of your questions. 😂 I think that's gonna be my thing in the next Q&A, lol.
Ultimate NADDPOD coward = Scoutmaster Denny. Although did he have a redemption arc? I don’t recall!
so what ur saying is calder is the nc state to his brothers' unc and duke
Well, that rolled down a bit of a side path, or er, a Strip.
Biggest takeaway from this short rest is that Jake has absolutely seen Dragonball.
They all watch it on mixed a new mixed bag. It’s so good haha
The #SportOfTheNorth should be an adapted form of Sledge Hockey Races, where teams of 3 compete head to head. 1 player (P1) from each team is on a sledge pulled by a mount like a polar bear, winter wolf, seal, *cough* serpent *cough*, and must maneuver through an obstacle course while trying to keep possession of their puck. The 2nd player (P2) from each team is protecting a net at the end of the course and acts as the goalie trying to keep the opposing team’s P1 from scoring. The 3rd player (P3) from each team has two choices. They can either a) try to stop the opposing team’s P1 by trying to steal the puck in the obstacle course. Or b) protect their team’s P1 from getting their puck stolen from the opposing team’s P3. The race is best of 3 with a tie ending in a sudden death shootout. I could go into more detail but this post is long enough as is 😅 Ps. This would also open the world to introducing a new inclusive NPC with a physical disability
Jake not knowing Dragonball is one of my faves (I haven't either and it's nice)
I need to see the next Twilight Sanctorum arc have the Vantasmo’s attempt a casino heist using mustard covered D12’s at the craps table
Livestream idea: a watchalong of The Thing with Murph and Emily
Does anyone remember what’s his name? I think his is Jack Hurwitz. I wonder what he’s been up to. For the snow sport, hear me out, ice laquidditch.
intro for sure 2024
It’s 2024. Intros galore!
It was a HOT DOG dude
"Hey man, Maybe you're still eating" is gold, I'm taking it
I also said "ohhh intro me twenty-twenty.. wait"
This year of short rests intros will be Murph and the Murphettes featuring tall Murph, sexy Murph, lovable Murph and with the OG himself Murph!!!
So in one of my own games, my dm had my character’s two sisters (changelings) both play the part of the same sheriff, to spread this reputation of him being omnipresent & unsleeping. If Murph is doing something similar with the identical twins,,,
#introwhores2024
Intro More, 2024. Intro everyone twice!
What is Calder’s fighting style?
The hot dog and mustard interrogation conversation evoked billion grills so much and I love them for it. This is why I pay for this content.
People do still extremely get lost and die in arctic areas. That is not a thing strictly of the past
ice lacrosse!!!
Proposed sport: Water Polo under a water fall or in some volcanic area like Crater Lake, Oregon.
2d6 follows a bell curve whereas the 1d12 has a flat 8.33% chance for each side. You have a higher chance of rolling high/low with 1d12. Great Weapon Fighting Style changes a lot of those stats in favor of 2d6 like Murph said.
abt the 2d6 / 1d12 question, I just saw the other day a video that said that when rolling 2d6 you tend to roll more along the middle numbers, and when rolling 1d12 you're more likely in comparison to roll towards the higher and lower ends of the spectrum (of numbers. how does one speak in english again? anyway)
imagine a graph of your rolls on the d12 and a graph of your rolls on 2d6 – the former's columns (which represent results) would be higher on the edges, and the latter's columns would be higher on the center of the graph. i'm bad at this
Et tu, Birdy?
Intro more 2024. Maximilism is in!
What's funny is that Jake objectively has watch dragon ball z, and just seemingly forgot
Morph is a tiny man made of modelling clay in a 90s/2000s British kids TV show!
I'm proud of each and every last one of you
Caldwell if you see this, lo9k up the board game. Who Goes There Its based on the thing movie and i think you would like it.
