Aabria "Ain't no laws when you're drinking the claws" Iyengar
So Brennan plays a shady twink, dope.
The Talented Mr Ripley mention?
Did anyone else notice that the die in all the graphics add up to 9? Does it mean something??
There are nine rooms in Clue.
Cant Wait! :)
Like #620 and so hype for this game
So excited
I’m so excited for this
Ah almost thought Taylor was playing when I saw Boddie 😂
Yus!!!!
No joke I adore that you’re using clue as a game system - ages ago in middle school I remember working with my friend to make a double-big clue game with two boards and twice the possible murderers just to make clue take double the time when we played. This is going to be so much fun!!
"I'm shouting, I'm shouting, I'm shout..." BONK.
can we expect a release of the game system in the future?
I have a feeling Brennan Lee Mulligan described Cassidy Green as a “rufous Tim Curry.”
A jazz-age murder mystery based on Clue? This was invented in a lab for me, specifically.
this is so hot that i am no longer sad
I wonder if Erika will round out the other 3 characters as NPCs. 🤔
We're eating guys
Stephanie Brown understood the assignment, hot damn 🔥
not Aabriya naming her character "whiteclaw" MA'AM, HOW DARE YOU!
one of my favorite themes with my favorite storytellers and stunning illustrations that Horner Corner dreams are made of, oh this is gonna be delightful
Horner Corner, here we come!
Why do the dice add up to 9!?
There's 9 rooms in the original board game that rhymes with "glue" that we seem to be referencing- maybe that's why?
Wow, the Horner Corner for this is going to be 🔥🤤🎂🍰
Any chance you guys will release the rules for the system? I’m so excited
It's literally just clue the board game.
I got a bad feeling about this Boddie guy. Seems like he might end up being a little... cold?
The fact that I thought this was just a whimsical little name until I read this 😂
This is such a fun idea. I’m so excited!!!
Everyone is hot
Why is everyone SO HOT
I'm so excited, I've never sseen anything DM'd by Erikaaaaa
Since you are here, A County Affair was a hoot and a holler. I'd check it out.
Oh man, I friggin LOVE murder mysteries and have been DYING (no pun intended) to figure out how to run one with my friends!!! I’m so pumped for this!!!! :DDD
I expect Brennan's Tim Curry impression to feature heavily
These portrait illustrations are stunning!!😍😍😍
TOMORROW? Merry Christmas to me!
the nines what do they mean????
It’s what they’re dressed to
Did anybody else grow up with the Clue short story murder mystery books? I absolutely loved them as a kid and I’m so excited for this.
JUST rewatched Clue soooo I'm primed.
Ok must do a Clue movie rewatch before next week 🙂
So we have Whiteclaw, Arnold Palmer... I gotta check on if any drinks are Greencastles
Maybe a reference to George Cassiday who was also called The Man in the Green Hat? He was a prohibition bootlegger who sold to congress. A very deep cut, but this is Brennan we're talking about...
Aanndd this brought me back to the patreon SO EXCITED
Alright class. How excited am I? (HINT: Very)
Is there any real life model/actor that looks like Brennan's character? I'm enthralled
Yes, there's one internet-famous star named Brennan Lee Mulligan. Different hair, though. /jk
So excited! And is it just me, but as a massive fan of the movie Clue, does Boddie kinda look like Tim Curry?
Boddie? More like Baddie am I right
Yessssss!!!! Yessss
So excited for it!!!!
Oh hell yeah, let’s go! I am so ready for more chaos that they bring to a one shot.
After listening to A County Affair again, I’m so down for Erika as dm!
Your newest, blindest Patreon member 🙋 really appreciates the all text here
Please forgive my ignorance but I am quite curious - how do emojis work for blind people? Is there a version of alt text for emojis?
Smash!
Let the Boddie(s) hit the floor
EYES EMOJI !!!!!!!
Amazing! This will be so cool!!
"Mr. Boddy" was the canonical name of the murder victim in the board game Clue (or Cluedo for the European folk). Nice callback from Erika (not that I'd expect anything less).
This is the lore we are here for.
EEEEEEE!!!! I am so excited for this omg 💜
Lou choosing purple, the best colour, my man
Huh, I would have guessed Col Mustard over Mr. Green for BLeeM, but the other two are spot on
Brennan do love Mustard
absolutely down bad already for this character designs.
Oh! Who is Boddie?
BODDIE AS THE MURDER VICTIM Erika Your Mind. I'm Screaming
The love I have for the movie Clue is making me very hyped for this
dream blunt rotation but i’m the blunt
This ✨💭
I just saw the part about patreon exclusive character creation episode tomorrow and im even more excited!!!!
Is Boddie the murder victim? "Body?"
I'm guessing Boddie is the soon too be victim here...
Why do all the dice add up to nine?
Clue the board game got nine rooms.
Brennan’s character kinda looks like him but also like a beautiful lesbian
literally i've been staring at the card going 'please be a lesbian, please'
Has anyone established an official forum for how we can bet cold hard cash on whodunnit. Cause I have my suspicions, and cold hard cash.
Aabria with a White Claw pun?? 😂
She’s the killer. Her whole world view is there ain’t no laws
White claw, something about being Irish, arnold pluuuumb, the name boddie
im so excited to meet all of them!!!!
white claw,, your mind
who is the most caked the people must know
megan thee stallion voice: boddie-oddie-oddie-oddie-oddie-oddie-oddie-oddie
Claw Whyte...White Claw? Lol
Arnold Plumb is such a Lou Wilson ass name. Love yall.
I believe Professor Plum is one of the Aliases that is provided by the game of Clue. There is a really good movie with Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, and Christopher Lloyd that is a very fun comedy based on the game. I recommend watching it for just a fun background on the game if you wish.
