On my like 5th re-listen and I always get so emotional during this episode and this fireside not just because it's such a touching part of the story, but it has such a sweet moment that's incredibly personal to me. When I was 4 years old, I was at my brother's Cub scouts meeting and he met his best friend to this day, and at the same time, I helped seal our families being tied together by literally being RoRo from is ep. I just got sleepy and crawled into a nice looking lady's lap and fell asleep. She just so happened to be the mother of my brother's new best friend. This scene always makes me tear up 💜💜 thank you all so much
Aabria's "brrrah, brrrah" brings me so much joy
Kaliah: “I’ve been here the WHOLE TIME”
Was that a Letterkenny reference??
Almost! They spun off Shoresy the character from Letterkenny into his own show and it’s from that :)
Really odd editing choice to have players leave the room and not disclose that to the audience, everyone listening knows it’s an actual play
I haven't finished listening to this episode and im so far behind in the story but Brennan!!! HOW YOU GONNA LET HIM FIND HIS SISTER AND THEN **IMMEDIATELY ** START TO KILL HER??? BAD BAD MAN!
Wedding desserts: nothing toys a Pittsburgh cookie table!!
“showing up to a fully catered event with tin foil brownies” honestly i feel like Ame would love a pittsburgh wedding cookie table, which is essentially exactly that
I love when artists all come together and mesh perfectly for a project 😤 💚
When I listened to this episode, I accidentally skipped the entire Suvi scene - so my Chapter 3 experience was completely in the dark about the Geass just like Erika and Lou!
Oh my I had a tear. And I'm on the happy pills. Great work guys
Playing catch up here. I loved this peek behind the curtain.
DID YOU JUST REFERENCE SHORESY?????
Okay, but what if Sly is Stripe's ex?
For team snacks~☆ A baklava Haiku: Golden layers dance, Honeyed whispers on my lips, Keto dreams take flight. Once upon a time glitter dated a vegan lass with coeliac, and learned the ways of P O T A T O baklava. With ghee. That is all. Recipe upon request. 😋 as hobbits do~☆
15-17 minutes makes me think of the English folk songs Captain Cried All Hands https://mainlynorfolk.info/martin.carthy/songs/ourcaptaincriedallhands.html And Steeleye Span's masterful use of its lyric 🎵What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers? When you could be safe at home free from all dangers?🎵 In their anti war song Fighting for Strangers
Ursalon being invited take up finding and helping other way shadowed spirits as his sister did would make for a lovely driving quest
was rly hoping to hear more on steel’s request for suvi!! would’ve been a great moment to continue to conversation on suvi’s perception of obedience as love ;__; the ultimate obedience that is being a puppet?? or, a commentary on gifts from the citadel coming with strings. suvi may be a nepo baby, but she was given some costly resources for a personal event. of COURSE the citadel is going to exploit this friendship for benefit, why wouldn’t they!!!!!!
On one hand, that is a fantastic element to inspect. That being said, Perhaps there's little more to say about it (for now), or maybe it's something that will be given new context later. I often feel like this aftershow is too short to unpack all the “trauma” the story instigates. (Note to cast & crew-- this is not a critique. This is a parasocial obsession I've fallen into, and that is not your job to manage.)
Please include a Shoresy reference in every fireside from now on!
"Piece of mom cake" shirt please
I think it's interesting that being found out through witchcraft is not the only fail condition for the geas. I mean, if Suvi gets knocked out for a long time, that's one way. I feel like the most plausible way might even be relationally with Ame and Ursalon - heck, someone could even just see her placing the music box.
As a Canadian, gotta love a Shoresy reference! Gotta set the fucking tone, boys!
Settle down…
Will the other three witches in the coven ALSO be intensely fuckable?
Ame didn't bring ketchup. Ame brought capital 'C' Catsup.
Baklava is really making the rounds in the Brennan Lee Mulligan DnD universe recently
I noticed that too! Also both latest episodes of WBN and D20 are the same length! 2hr 13m. Well both episodes that mention baklava anyway. I just remembered there's a new ep today.
Even the leprechauns are digging up peat bogs, what has the world come to
I had JUST started to conditionally trust Steel...
Big mistake. Never trust a cop XD
I’m curious of why their is a picture of Will Smith, this comment is before I watch the episode
it’s his character in Men In Black with a neurolizer, a device that erases people’s short-term memories (just like Suvi did with the potion)
Unexpected Shoresy reference!
WWW Sudbury AU confirmed
Geas mechanics if needed https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/geas
Thanks for posting this! I meant to look it up but kept forgetting. Interesting to note that Greater Restoration could "cure" this, and that is a spell that Witches have access to.... It's a 5th level spell so Ame wouldn't have it, but I imagine the Coven of Elders has a few high level Witches knocking around in there....
Fox has big, my dearest Pan, energy. Pantalaimon- his dark materials
SHORESY MENTIONED LFG
"F you, Suvi. You got legs on you like redwoods. You could box-jump a bungalow."
Loved the Shoresy reference!
I wish Lou spoke more in these 😔
Thank you for the new grandma! (Also I almost choked on my fruit cup Aabria)
I hear the strum of the guitar, and the sound of the fire, and my whole body relaxes in pleasure. Like Pavlov's dogs, I have been conditioned. I'm not mad about it; it's just remarkable to experience. Thanks all
I love listening to Aabria and Erika tease each other. I have such a friend crush on this whole team
I love these fireside posts
As far as final lines for the chat go... nothing surprised and delighted me more than that one
There's a Whiteboard of things the PC's wanna see? Where pic Show pic Show board Give Pls
No i changed my mind, if they've been crossing things off it's spoilers cursed knowledge, let the tome stay shut
The Golden Compass energy was strong with this episode. Also, I was today years old when I found out Svalbard is a real place.
Steel is a problem? Steel's not chill? Ame's "sisters" set her up to be murdered so they could get the go-ahead to murder all wizards. They've been trying to murder all wizards for decades and Ame's mother knew this and never told that to any wizard. Steel ain't paranoid enough.
Wait did I miss something? Is there a canon plot about how all the witches are trying to murder all wizards?? And Ame's mother knew this? Have we ever heard from Ame's mother? Or do you mean grandma Wren when you say mother?
I LOVE hearing about the different types of instruments that taylor has attributed to different schools of magic - ive been testing out the witch class with a guqin-playing bard witch and I feel validated in my choices haha
Letterkenny reference in my fireside chat? Yes please 🙏🏻
"Give your balls a tug, Suverin" was not a phrase I was ever expecting to hear, but I'm 100% for it
"You don't collect interest at the bottom of the bog" incredible.
I can’t believe Lou came to the fireside!
I’d love to know what the Atlanta situation is with Lou, and how his sea-doo restoration is progressing.
omg, the fact that Erika & Lou didn’t know about the double-secret super nested doll of a plan that Aabria had to play out has me sooooooo amped for the rest of this arc. I mean, I was already crazy excited but this somehow adds more onto that. shenanigans
Right?? And like, *knowing* that means that we can take a closer listen every time Aabria speaks. Because *WE* know that Erika and Lou DON'T know what secret she's holding. They probably know there *is* a secret but we know what to listen for and they don't. It takes an incredible amount of player to player trust to be able to do this and not all DnD groups can. It's so exciting to watch this play out.
The feeling of "oh shit the DM solved my character's biggest problem waaaayyyyyy too early" is very real to me.
Honestly I really understand Steel's logic. What I don't like is her priorities and approach. Ma'am don't do this to your daughter!! Be careful around those witches!!! Ma'am!!!! I really love it storywise though, I think it's really interesting for her character, and that whole interaction was incredible. Aabria and Brennan did an amazing job!!!

COUPLE OF WITCHES COME ROUND THE NORTH POLE THE OTHERRRR DAAAAAAAAAAAAY
End of the laneway, don't come up the wizard tower
The letterkenny quotes at the end got me. Love finding out my interests overlap with these beautiful people.
I appreciate the insight on the fact y'all had heads up on the curve balls - and of courseee Aabria is clicking her heals with joy I don't appreciate how this hour of chats felt like 5seconds
so psyched for this season
You guys are amazing! Such an incredible episode 🤩 So glad to catch this episode of fireside
I would like to point out your brain automatically comes pre-installed with the justification machine there's a study that people saw part of a sign that said stand up and they sud up automatically and every single person when asked why they stood up came up with a different reason because the brain filled in a reason . so really steel saying this actually is falsehood and it's just to pump up suvi
Nobody wants to say “…because I’m a lemming.” 😆
This arc is already set up to be my favorite yet
I meant to say this in earlier episodes but never got around to doing it: the Citadel and the Empire remind me of the British Empire, so I’m just waiting for the episode when Suvi discovers how the Empire has used the Kehmsarazan equivalent of opium to enslave and subjugate some distant nation. And in more current news, I very much enjoyed this episode. Particularly the gift of old saltwater taffy.
Very very awesome!
A hoo hoo, grackle grackle, running a temperature looks like you got quest fever. Give you balls a tug Suvi. These words are art.
What a 'sode. This was, tip to tail, an incredible start to this arc and this TalkBack only makes it better. Love this show so much. Best $5 a month I've ever spent.
Steel is very sensible and nothing will go wrong. 100%
Crackle crackle!
Most Lou fireside chats consecutively ever

Yeah! Top 10!
