[PUBLIC BONUS EPISODE] Interlude: Fortune Found

Can you please put this on an LP. It would just sound so damn good on a record player

I can see this episode on apple podcasts :(

Catching up on my WBN listening and I now eagerly await the WBN folk album! An incredible musical score and the most lyrical narrative opening to boot - collaborative storytelling at its finest

I just went to do a re-listen and can’t find this interlude anymore. Did it disappear somewhere or am I somehow missing it right in front of my eyes?

When is the next ep?

i loved the little nod to Gundren Rockseeker with Gundren's Mining Company in the story where they are seeking rocks 🖤 some classic lil dnd lore thrown in for funsies~

The score for this ep is just absolutely incredible!!! Taylor, you’ve done it again!!! But actually, the flavor of music for this episode really felt different to my ear holes. Like the music is what scared me—but in a good way hehe

Fahad is an Arabic name that can mean “panther” “leopard” or “cheetah” Theeeemes

Optional name for Millie’s liquor: Fortune’s Flavor. 😂 This was fun—I’ve enjoyed how wildly different each interlude has been and how it’s opened up the world of Umora a little more each time!

Lotta leg infections in these interludes, I'm noticing.

Finally listened to the whole thing. This was a delightful episode. So glad I wasn’t eating anything when they started to saw off the leg😂😂.

thank u Brennan for dropping us into what feels like a mythical version of the height of gold mining in nevada, it makes my brain tingle

Omg, I did miss an episode. Too many pods I ignore, but my eyes never miss the usual icon 😭

Loved this. Made me think of exploring the cave in Scarlet Hollow

Trains. We're going to see more of the Free Roads when we come back to WWW eventually.

What is this setting up? I thought the next campaign was a space setting run by Abria.

This was amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ But now I need an actual Campaign set in the Wild West

thank you for this glimmer

Brennan two years from now: “You see a mining town that was once alive and vibrant, but has been fire bombed into ash shortly before you arrived. You can still see smoldering, skeletal remains of the dead…..”

This isn’t on apple podcasts :((

The music and tone throughout struck my Firefly heartstrings. Not excited to see how Mr. Hollow cuts them. Also, at the mention of luck spilling out of a bag, every Call of Cthulhu player near a podcast screamed.

The mineshaft scene took me back to being a child and hearing ghost stories in the Rockies. You all are incredible!!

Visceral whiplash going from describing a horrific bone break to the line “At the dance hall?” This is what WBN delivers and I’m here for it thank you

Technical question: I'm planning on discontinuing my Spotify soon. When do the uploads get to YouTube? Or is there another podcast service that's recommended?

You only have one skill, it's Railway Bureaucracy, you have a +2. The characters that Lou can make work!

This setting might have been my favorite so far. Absolutely incredible

The soundscape??? the music??? the tap-tap-taps aligning???? By god they’ve done it again 🤩

Yes, the gun referenced when Aabria’s character was protecting their mule from the starving dogs was described as Rhuvian! Something about fire magic discs as ammo?

One of my favorite Tom Waits songs is Town With No Cheer and this hit all the same spots. Stark beauty, pain, and emptiness in a truly nostalgic mirage. Such evocative world building, and this had the best of the bittersweet endings.

lol, Brennan was like “at its height, this was a big town, now it’s a small town living in the husk of what was, inside the husk of what was hoped. The population is maybe 1000 people.” And I’m sitting here thinking about where I grew up that has had a population ~500 for the last 15 years

Oh cool an interlude! I can’t wait to experience the war crime that happens here a couple years from now.

This was unbelievably fire! Did anyone catch any clues as to when this is set in relation to WWW? Also, I don’t know how much (if any) coordination there is between all these things, but it was extra lovely to get this on a week where I’ll surely be going through withdrawal (/j) because there’s no D20 or C4 dropping lmao

For what has been, so far, a very gender-equal book why are only the men conscripted for the Empire? Is Millie going to be Fortune Fields’ Rosie the Riveter AND Rose Kennedy?

Eeeeeeeeeeee this was sooo good! I made a D&D sepsis simulation for the nurses at my hospital to help them practice advocating for their patients, and the scene where Harry had to make quick decisions about how to treat a necrotizing wound was MY JAAAAM. I honestly might use the death-saving-throws-while-alive idea because it perfectly fits that sense of, “We have to make the right decision, right now,” that comes into play with these cases. Woooo you made this nerd so happy! ☺️

I’m upset with how amazing and beautiful this music is only because I have to wait to listen to it on its own 😭😭 it’s so GOOD

“A place that is holding on with white knuckles at the very edge of oblivion” made me pause and stare off into middle distance for a solid 2 minutes

Now plastic canonically exists in Umora thanks Aabria!

THE SCORE! It's perfect and I love it so much

Oh man, I love the implications of a steam train in a world with wizard constructs. What does it say about a society that goes tonsuch legths to avoid wizard craft like this? I hope they do something with this. Kinda fits well with the zeitgeist of a ton of technology alienating people.

I can’t wait for this to deal emotional damage to me at a surprise point in the next few years!

Middle East meets old west…I love feeling representation that doesn’t feel stereotypical or over the top or in your face. Thank you for this.

The music!!!!! The twang!!! The bouncing golden luck!

Idk why but the Man in Black having a rustic country twang, when we now know Umora canonically has a Frontier Adventure(TM) area of the park, is very funny.

Hoooo boy that vein of silver. We know that Lucent Court needs quicksilver, and that their supply in the Shroud Mountains has dried up thanks to Eioghorain's efforts. I'm very curious to see how Fortune's Fields fares in Book Two.

So good!

Is this set in Umora?

A shame the papier mache themepark didn't get to be worked into the narrative somehow.

Love this. Starting to hate the Interlude to damaged leg without trigger warning ratio

Is this Sedona?

Cool! Fun to see Taylor building the team and giving Jared more, can’t wait to hear Nic’s score!

the people need to see millie and fahad as militant miners union reps

If at some point someone says "Fortune favors the bold" I'll do a backflip

I just started to listen to it, and my only concern is: Will this be used against us, like Twelve Brooks

So if The Free Roads are sort of an Old West era analog for Umorra, I can see the WWW trio getting involved in a good, old-fashioned train heist at some point. Another amazing interlude! I can't wait to see how this dusty town returns in Book Two.

Another absolutely gorgeous musical score! I really love the vibe of the town and it’s going to be so interesting to see the gang in the Free Roads.

That was my favorite interlude yet! I want to learn so much more about that town and all that goes on, terrifying grandpa or no

Also I wanna see Hollow and will Gallows go at it

Oaky reminds me of Mickey Rooney's character in Phantom of the Megaplex

Brought to us by Fortunate Horse and Unfortunate Mule

Damn that guitar riff for fortune's fields reminded me of Tristram from Diablo 1.

What up Brennan, setting up some lovable locations and characters that you can destroy in Book 2 to punch us all in the gut?

Just want to say iv been going thru alot lately and havent been able to keep up with my favorite shows or podcasts but seeing new content from yall really does warm my heart and helps bring that motivation back. Also congratulations on the release of an amazing game erika!
