WWW Interlude #1: Twelve Brooks

or....Good Will Humping (Aabria made me type that.)

Behold! Our first "Interlude," an in-world canon one-shot where the cast gathers to create, expand, and play hitherto unseen people and places within the world of Umora. It is a profound pleasure to welcome you to the modest, but beloved, amphibious hamlet of Twelve Brooks, on the very cusp of its (regionally) famous midsummer revel. You are not going to BELIEVE who they named Great Bullfrog this year.

Starring Lou Wilson, Aabria Iyengar, Erika Ishii, and Brennan Lee Mulligan

Produced by Taylor Moore

Edited and Designed by Jared Olson

And featuring an original score and live saxophone performance from our first guest composer (!) Joseph David Spence

Coming here after that one episode hurts my soul. Brennan, why? Why do you do this?

Always a great episode. Needed a bit of magic this morning to start my day 🤗🔥❤️🦊

Coming back to listen to this from the beginning of arc 4 and I fear I am going to responsible for my own sorrow….

It’s time to revisit the beauty of 12 brooks, despite its demise and tragic conclusion the story warms my heart ❤️🔥🦊

This is so beautiful. A brilliant example of how ttrpg can be a wonderful and creative experience without any combat at all. Bravo

Mackenzie Hughes · June 24, 2025

Forgive my denseness, does it just end here? Is there more to the one shot somewhere else?

S
S'Morgan · January 21, 2026

Yes, this is the only Twelve Brooks interlude. You see Twelve Brooks again towards the end of Book 4.

I need the full song that plays in the outro! It's so fun and brave and adventurous!

Adam Simon · May 11, 2025

I am new to Patrion so I didn't have the chance to listen to this before Part 1. This is so delightful... And I am scarred for life. Thanks Brennan, I can always count on you 😅😂

F
Felix · May 1, 2025

(new/future listeners, spoilers:) you know that thing lou said about brennan where he starts listing what you have so that you know what he's about to take from you? doing that to myself by relistening before part 1 comes out today.

M
Michal Samel · May 10, 2025

I did the exact same thing!

d
domino · May 1, 2025

Makes it so much more interesting to listen to when you think about Brennan knowing full well what he’s gonna do to them with this later

L
Laxly · May 1, 2025

The music sounds much more ominous in the beginning knowing what we know now.

Brennan, on GOD. 👊

Erin R · April 21, 2025

Finishing this episode for the second time on April 21st, 2025, I am afraid of what will befall this beautiful town and can only hope that this story is picked up so we can experience some happiness 😭

S
Slam Dunkle · April 19, 2025

Listening to this again before the Battle begins and goddamn Buckles better make an appearance in the main campaign. Would love to see him and Nif meet one day.

T
The Wizard Sparrow · March 22, 2025

I had to listen to 12 Rivers one more time so I can understand or remember what is gonna happen in the next couple of episodes. I wonder if Ame is going to find the scroll and help bring the great bullfrog back to its full size

T
The Pompous Peasant · March 18, 2025

Why were Buckles parents taken? Missed that

T
The Wizard Sparrow · March 22, 2025

They were Granoh

Elisabeth Gallegos · March 12, 2025

Just listened to this after Speak with Animals AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

M
Maddie Moreland · February 23, 2025

Many months ago when this interlude first came out I remember feeling like “Oh, it’d be so much fun if some of this came back in the main campaign!” In blissful ignorance of things to come. How dare you build us up before tearing us down again.

T
The Spirit of Vicious Inspiration · April 19, 2025

same. my money was on someone eating the fabled Twelve Brooks cheese in a scene, and me just being like "oh wow I get that reference!" but no. this is why we can't have nice things

T
The Wizard Sparrow · February 21, 2025

Wait… is Jay the great bull frog???

T
The Wizard Sparrow · February 21, 2025

Will Ame find the scrolls in the castle about the G-B-F…what happened to the shimmering magical jug pieces? I need more of this story!!!

A
Ambz · February 18, 2025

i swear Jay's jug tune is the Qu's Marsh theme from ffix!! great work either way, Taylor!! also.. relistening to this after catching up on the main campaign.. my HEART

K
Kaitie · February 16, 2025

Listened to this after Aid and Comfort. WHERE IS BUCKLES?!?!?!?!?!? IS HE OK?!?!?! IS LEA OK?!?!?

T
The Wizard Sparrow · February 21, 2025

My thoughts exactly

L
Lauren · January 30, 2025

Masochists here after Peace and Quiet rise up

W
Witch of the Word and Spark · January 28, 2025

Listening to this after Aid and comfort, the way Brennan asks the players to start by describing how very endearing the town and the people are feels very intentional in the worst possible way 💀

T
The Wizard Spite · February 6, 2025

To losely quote Jujubee "how can you be so nice and so evil?"

i
irisilmaril · January 23, 2025

Everyone in the comments when this came out sort of passed over the “Empire taking families from their homes, including children.” bit because Buckles is such a gosh darn cute how could his situation be emblematic of something broader darker and more sinister.

k
kragonaught · January 15, 2025

IS HE OKAY

WHERE IS BUCKLES

OogaBooga · October 6, 2024

The jug performance was legendary despite the odds

J
Jade · October 1, 2024

Is there any chance this will get picked up again? It's such a charming town and beautiful characters. I'd love to hear the rest of the story.

I was right!!

I can't wait for Brennan to play the Man in Black turning Twelve Brooks into a necropolis...

Morgana Evenstar · August 31, 2024

I love the Michael Nyman-esque energy of Mr. Spence's EXQUISITE composition.

l
larkermouse · August 27, 2024

Really hope we get more of this soon!

T
The Wizard Squeamish · August 14, 2024

some honest criticism that ive been putting off making because the response to this episode was so positive: the music in this episode made it so difficult to listen to what was being said. the main campaign episodes do a better job because there are known motifs that can be sprinkled in when appropriate. the first fifteen minutes of this episode that went to the public feed were unlistenable as someone with auditory processing issues because so much was crammed in (yes i know there are transcripts but i usually dont need them and would prefer to continue using them sparingly). i hope that whoever reads this takes what i have said in good faith. peace love and witches x

R
RuidusBornRaven · July 31, 2024

this was everything omg I love them

C
Colibri · July 26, 2024

Oh this was just delightful! 😍 I adore every single one of these characters, especially Buckles, but Professor Salmon was a particular delight. Lou's descriptions of him were so great I could invision him perfectly! I would love another trip to 12 Brooks, but until then, I'm gonna listen to this again 💙

D
Daxeah Reacts · July 21, 2024

Here just in case I never said but this episode is specifically a comfort episode for me whenever I fly. It is so soothing and grounding for me and it’s such a balm

Nick Grant · May 18, 2024

WE NEED MORE OF TWELVE BROOKS

N
Naomi Langevin · May 15, 2024

I love the way Brennan absolutely did not pronounce the French word for frog correctly. Was that on purpose to hide that Buckles is from a frog people? It must be, he speaks Spanish well so that using French pronunciation would be easy. I do love the tie in, the hint.

It’s so nice to have a story set in Umora that is just wholesome and pure with no real struggle ❤️ fed my lil heart

K
KnockOffGrimReaper · April 23, 2024

the only complaint i’ve had so far about worlds beyond number is that I haven’t gotten to see more of erika being a gold hearted fuckboi

Such a treat. The opening made me misty for how pure everything was.

S
Sean Case · April 19, 2024

An utterly captivating and charming tale - it reminded me of 1980s fantasy films in the best ways. What a talented group of storytellers!!!

R

A town with impressive water infrastructure, a thriving dye milling industry, and delicious cheese production. Thats not twelve brooks, thats the Netherlands.

Z
Zoë Berry · May 7, 2024

As a Dutch person I can attest to this, however I’ve been experiencing a profound lack of giant bullfrogs :(

B
Beomene · April 17, 2024

Let's riot!! And I've only heard half so far, so I don't know if this maybe happens, but I don't think it will happen: These characters somehow meeting with Suvi/Sky, Ame and Eursulon!!!

T
The Wizard Snoop · April 9, 2024

That was so goddamn pleasant, wow! Also, "cambiens" for shifters was so good, Brennan's really flexing his Spanish lol

S
Saleibriel · April 12, 2024

"cambions" are also a classical name for certain demons, which kinda... says something about how the Empire feels about shapeshifters

L
Louise Yaganiski · April 8, 2024

I love the normal storyline. But I definitely didn’t want this one to stop!!! It was giving major Rogers Hamerstine Cinderella vibes! Love it! Love you guys!

One shot?! Nuh uh, get back here and tell us how these wonderful people help this sweet little frog boy!

Thomas Johnson · April 8, 2024

agreed. I wanted everything to pause for awhile longer in hopes that we get much more time in Twelve Brooks. I was immediately smitten.

A
Ahbuu · April 7, 2024

the amount of heart in these stories is astounding. I can’t wait to hear more interludes and hope we can meet these characters again :)

The prompts, the perfect joyful world building, and the music 😭😭😭 THE MUSIC!!! 100000/7 would die for Buckles 🐸

No! It can't be just this! Don't make me leave Twelve Brooks! I don't want to gooooooooooo!

Only 10 min in and I'm crying because of the beauty of the world building mixed with Taylor's soundscapes. Byeeee I'm a mess, can't wait for the rest of the hour and 20 min

D
Darcy Barlow · April 6, 2024

I really hope this is an interlude in the way that the Stormlight Archive uses the word, and that we’ll end up seeing these folks again in the main campaign eventually.

Kyle David Perry · April 5, 2024

Why is this opening prompt and music making me well up right away?

L
Liuba M · April 5, 2024

Up until now, the first episode of the main campaign has remained my favourite moment of WBN. That might have just changed. On a separate note, for a layman it’s almost unbelievable how people can improvise like that; how PCs weaved their story into elements of the world just introduced by others. Beautiful!

R
RuviGaPo · April 5, 2024

Hey this joseph dude slaps!! Good job joseph! Also ♡♡ love this!! Ep 2 When (affectionate)♡♡ Also ×2 when the bullfrog theme happened i got chills in a way i cannot explain for such an odd instrumentation????? Music never ceases to amaze me ALSO ×3 the way yall describe this snd the music on top is SO PICTURESQUE i might cry thats so beautiful and colourful ♡♡♡

A
Amaya · April 4, 2024

I'm just now realizing that a part 2 isn't listed on the upcoming release schedule. Maybe the rest of the interludes will be interspersed with the release of the main campaign??? If not, I'll have no choice but to keep listening to this on repeat the way I have been since this dropped

Delightful and hilarious! I definitely want to see (well, hear) these characters again.

R
Riley Crowder · April 4, 2024

Id like to announce on an unrelated note that my partner made Congee as an experiment, and because we already had a sort of rice pudding I spiced it up and made a variant on Juk with Eggs and Chicken, and it was delicious. :)

Such a delight 😃

A
Artbarian · April 4, 2024

Wow, if this didn't absolutely make my week! (And it's been a tough week, that's no small task). The underscoring here was UNBELIEVABLE, Joseph David Spence absolutely killed it! I hope we get to hear from him again soon!

T
The Wizard Syndicate · April 4, 2024

I both hope they’ll return to these characters and hope they never do at the same time. Like this story is done. We know what will probably happen here, If they never touched this again we’d have heard a magical story with an uncertain ending. But also I really want more of these characters finding so much around them. I want to know what the great bullfrog will do!

E
El Jefe · April 4, 2024

Hearing y’all world-build in real time is wonderful and puts your various talents on full display. I could almost hear y’all thinking, “If this is true, then what else is there?” Adding in the details about the town being shrouded in mist and moss and verdant greenery. Dropping in a castle and history of this place as a defensive fortification based on terrain features. Dropping in an amphitheater and a history of music, placing it right on the lake, and establishing a history of people making music. Aabria connecting the available water to industry with weaving, dyeing, and milling. Everything built upon each other element so beautifully. It made me imagine being at the table, building a world with you.

k
kragonaught · April 4, 2024

these is such a quintessential one-shot 😭 the trust between these players makes me so happy

kragonaught · April 4, 2024

so we all agree miri was REALLY into the frog head right 🐸👀

A
Alexander · April 4, 2024

Fun fact: Buckles' family name "Greno" most probably comes from "Grenouille" which is french for frog! 🐸

Not even 10 minutes in and I’m already weeping. The sound design matched with their amazing storytelling. I want to live here so bad.

Only 9 minutes and 25 seconds into this one shot and this town is already so charming, I’m low key furious that I can’t move there tomorrow

A
Amaya · April 4, 2024

I would be absolutely DEVASTATED (but yes, I could see it happening)

L
Lorna Burns · April 3, 2024

I’m just gonna say, if they do another part of this one shot, I will be more than pleased. I believe that these three – – no. Four. Misfits. Deserve to get into some ruckus, two spirits, a bard and a scholar feel like the perfect set up for a smaller mini campaign and I would eat that shit up like chow fucking mein

N
Nicholas Paul Arman · April 3, 2024

The fact they named the great bullfrog Jay and not Jeremiah is a travesty. Because then it could have been cannon for the YEARS that the world of Umora is being discovered that “JEREMIAHA WAS A BULLFROG! WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE! NEVER UNDERSTOOD A SINGLE WORD HE SAID BUT WE HAD A MIGHTY GOOD TIME”

W
Worlds Beyond Number · April 3, 2024

Sounds like a great idea for some Twelve Brooks Fan Fiction. Go forth!

Alex · April 3, 2024

This was so absolutely lovely, I wonder if we’ll ever get the chance to see any of this little slice of the world in the main campaign, with such a long form story anything is possible!

V
ValiaLing · April 3, 2024

This was so lovely! Please give us a part two? 🐸💚

E
Esther · April 3, 2024

ahhhh, so much fun! if you ever revisit this, i would totally hop onboard. (is the great bullfrog there because they think jay is hot too? or there to have a musical battle of the jugs with jay? who knows XD)

I’m very much imagining Jay as Arajin from Bucchigiri!! with actual charisma; please help me, he’s actually kinda rizzing me up from behind the screen

CarpeBootium · April 2, 2024

So…I know this won’t be liked and easily dismissed by some (because Jae is a f*ckboy) but the costume designer’s…advances…. Had Erika been playing a female character people would have lost their shit.

C
CarpeBootium · April 3, 2024

Both points are true, but flip the genders and run that scene back.

M
MagnaniMel · April 2, 2024

I love this! It was such a cute way to add more world building to Umora. Joseph David Spence, you did not need to go that hard on the score.

B
Brandon Scott Robertson · April 2, 2024

ive never really commented on these things, been listening since the start of the show, but i absolutely love this. im only 13 minutes in but PLEASE make more of these.

What a ribbiting tale

S
Smitsel · April 2, 2024

Anyone else terrified that Buckles is gonna grow up to be Eioghorain? Or is that just my brain connecting shapeshifters?

Well, they're not going to stop in the middle. I just hope we don't have to wait til the end of Arc 3 of WWW for Part 2 of Twelve Brooks.

T
TPK_light · April 2, 2024

I love this so much. It's genuinely stunning to watch them create everything out of whole cloth. It's just such a great reminder that they are fully building this world out of their imagination and synergy. It's crazy impressive and I adore the town details and character choices

Brandon Webb · April 2, 2024

The first 12 minutes of this oneshot, in describing 12 Brooks, was the reason I fell in love with this podcast back during the Children’s Adventure. These four effortless create such whimsical, yet grounded, worlds that are so lovely to explore.

Nick Nelson · April 2, 2024

After reading the open beta rules, I really feel like WBN would thrive in the new Daggerheart system from Darrington Press. Stoked for more of these side shots and it would be cool to see how different systems make the world and story feel different!

M
Michelle Spurgeon · April 2, 2024

I loved this so much! Jay is as they say young, dumb, and full of cum and I love him for that. Leah is so intriguing! Satyr-spider? What? Salmon has some hidden something, I just know it! I'm now so torn because I need to know what happens with Ame and her coven but I also need to know what is up with Buckles! So good, you guys!

C
Carrie Mook Bridgman · April 3, 2024
