Fireside Chat #000 "This is Our Salad"
Early in January 2023, the cast and crew of Worlds Beyond Number gathered to record what was to be a public "Welcome" message for the main podcast feed, to explain Worlds Beyond Number for newcomers and fans alike. Instead: the cast dropped all artifice and immediately transformed into disgusting gremlins who did not produce one SINGLE MINUTE of audio that we could ever...ever...show to the public. But comrades. This is not the public. THIS is the Fireside. Hail, and well met.
We kindly ask that you
1) Please not share this with the public, either in whole or as excerpts. This is for you and your fellow patrons alone.
2) The cast gets a LOT of details wrong about our release schedule for the next few weeks. Repeatedly. Please don't make any financial or scheduling decisions based on their confused and rotten counsel.
Don't worry too much about the upcoming release schedule. Here's the gist: every week you're gonna hear some previews, and then on March 1, the main show starts for the public and you get the Children's Adventure here. It's gonna be great, don't worry about it too much. And then after that? Ooh doggie, you're in for a good time. We are truly glad to have you here by the Fireside. Skooch in.

I’m way behind the times but can “Cyber Falcons” be a Lancer RPG game please? I’m thinking Voltron but maybe your stations in the combined robot make more sense.
Very late to the party. But at 5 mins 11 secs in, this is exactly the chaos I hoped for from this patreon. Thank you!! 🤩🤣💗

I love these weirdos. I think by the episode where the old woman throws Ame a lemon for good luck to find her lover on the front lines, Brennan has discovered the meaning of a lemon.
This is wonderful!!!
listening to this again years later, and couldnt breathe in the beginning 😭😭
Long time patron, first time listener. Finally taking the time to sit down and start listening to this wonderful project. I'm so excited to enjoy the work and passion you all put into your stories. Hail, and well met.
Finding out that Brennan called something a halter top without actually knowing what it was makes me wonder if he actually knows what brocade is or if he just likes how that word sounds
Can't believe Erica is a tumblr user, absolutely incredible
Love that coming into this years later we're just finishing up the first story. Feels like it's still just beginning.
I have been a member from almost the start, just a couple episodes in, I think. But only just now caught up. This is just too much quality stuff, that I felt like I needed to listen to it at the right sort of time. And wow, it is so good. I just hope all the Patreon stuff stays on here.
I just have to say when Erika started talking about Japanese and Celtic animism in their mythologies, I was like, “This. This is why I am here.” So much wonderful care put into these characters and the world. With just enough pedantry about storytelling. It’s perfect for me.
Im so late to this party but Im just thrilled to be here
relistening to this on May 7, 2025 and hearing the earliest reference to Im da joker honey. the love and hilarity of this napkin doodle just sprinkled through out space and time
Wow! This has me cogent, lucid, informed, and ready to take on this narrative podcast!
HUGE thank you to the Redditor who gifted me a membership for a few months so I can dive into all this amazingness.
Catching up on all the older episodes, incredible stuff! Love your work
I am so fucking happy I subscribed to this also I need to know about I’m da jokah honey (baby)
Now we know.
I'm so happy I signed up for this 💙
So happy to have found this/been pulled into this from your other wonderful work!!
Brennan: if you're just joining us now Me [2 years later with ADHD]: huh what? you called?
« back mouth » dead
Will never get tired of Taylor swapping CCR in for GnR
Would of loved Mathew Lillard sorry Aabria
i listened to everything till the end of arc 3 and only now, ONLY NOW I FIND THIS GOLD OMG AAAAA SO MUCH LOVE also live for pansexual gremlin
I am gay for this. <3
I am pan for this. 😉 I mean, I’m pan anyway, but ESPECIALLY for this. 😝
So glad to finally start my adventure through this podcast, I love you guys
A am in love with this podcast. Just finished episode 30 last night and just realized there is a Fireside chat after each episode which I will be listening to for the next several weeks (waiting for season 2). FYI, this podcast sat in my library for a year (after receiving a snippet from TAZ). THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all your hard work.
Coming in a year and a half late ... Can anyone link me to Erika's spicy lemon? Please & thank you.
"And I'm Lou Wilson." LOU. YOU CAN'T KILL ME LIKE THIS.
Now I'll never actually know where Lou came from.
Happy to be here 1 year later!
Listening for the first time during a drive north to portland, and truly the first traffic I hit on I5 was exactly when Brennan was speaking to the listener in traffic on the 5.
a year late but so glad Brennan enjoyed his fries, saludos from Mexico 🍓
I don't know how I am a year + late to this, but the combination of these beautiful people makes me so incredibly happy!
💜
BURROWS END IS CYBERPUNK WATERSHIP DOWN THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS?!!
Taylor is funnier than the yellow m&m
The chaotic first 7 minutes that they Definitely thought they were gonna cut and Didn’t got me instantly hooked i’m so excited to listen to the rest of this podcast
Joined today - happy to be here! ❤️
listening back to this after burrow's end and hearing aabria panic abt the "cyberpunk watership down" erika was talking about is sendinggggg me lol
Brennan: "I don't know what 'Spicy lemon on AO3' means." Erika and Aabria: "You know what to do! GET IN THE COMMENTS!"
I feel like I should mention that the next button doesn't work on the patreon app...
Wow i love this team, love the energy and the full transparency, it feels so natural. Love it, love you \o/ Now my dream is to have a anime adaptation in 2-3 years, just because... Yes
People always suggest podcasts & audio books to me because of adhd stuff, but I have auditory processing issues so I don't do well with them. I love these folks so much, I'm taking a chance on it & spirits but I am dying from laughing so far.
I love them so much. This is my first time using patreon, and this is so worth it.
just got my patreon sub this morning, crawling thru the archive now. I have on many occasion been that person blasting WBN on the 405, it's a good time🤣
IS CYBERPUNK WATERSHIP DOWN BURROWS END???????????
It all makes sense now I gotta go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu
Wtf is the moth?! 🤣
This was chaotic good encapsulated.
New to the Patreon. This is true total chaos and I love it! And love hearing that this is for the long haul 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Cyberpunk Watership Down trailer now on Dropout! Is this what you were talking about 😍
I fully thought y’all must have been friends forever listening to how well you all work with each other in the narrative - talk about right people right time ✨💕
After listening to this episode, my podcast app has The Moth, This American Life, and Radiolab in my recommendations
This is completely unhinged 35 mins in and I love it so much already.
Literally calling me out as I was listening to this Fireside Chat on my way home from work (AND on the 5 nonetheless!!!) in rush hour traffic 🥲 (But note that I do prefer headphones for the campaign eps if possible because the sound quality, audio mixing, and the score is incredible!) Everything has been absolutely incredible so far, and to say I’m emotionally invested is an understatement! Thank you for taking the time, no matter how long it took, to create and share this project with the world ❤️
I actually was subscribed since day one, but only now have the time to listen to all that's happened. I am not disappointed thus far, these four are hilarious without even trying
Same here, so happy to be listening finally
I joined this episode late even though I was the one blasting it from my car (you're welcome.) I appreciate all the fresh starts, some of us dissociate in traffic so it's nice to be welcomed back every time. Also Brennan as the token white boy saying "hootenanny" was everything. Thank you.
I have scrolled all the way down to this post after finally listening to this on my podcast feed and I came here specifically to say that I understood the lemon reference and I laughed so hard.
It took me 2 months to get here but I realised I love you all so much it's foolish for me to not be. This is the most perfect intro I have ever heard.
I’m in the same boat. This is so good. I can’t wait to hear the rest.
Amazing.
Perfect. Nailed it. I have no notes.
Wind, sincerity and lemon in AO3.
I know it will (hopefully) be quite a long time til this game is wrapping up and a new one begins but a suggestion for a TTRPG other than D&D would be "Stars Without Number" its a space/sci-fi setting that could be different than the high fantasy of most people's TTRPG experiences.
Hearing Brennan scream “STOP SAYING MEXICAN GENTLEMAN!!!” TWICE, less than 5 minutes in - cannot wait for more of this
Every time Brennan puts on his alternate personality voice, I can’t help. It think about peanut butter in pipes.
Listening to this on headphones, it feels like I’m able to overhear other people’s imps of the perverse, to which my own imp applauds wildly. And that top shelf sincerity? Yes. Starting my binge session now.
So mermaid pool party campaign next yeah?
Honestly Brennan thinking a halter top is like a crop top because it 'halts' is the funniest thing
If they all love each other and play ttrpgs together, is it called a polyhedral-cule? 🤔
You've done it. This is what the inside of my ADHD brain sounds like. This whole episode. 🤣🤣🤣😘
Oh I am listening to this after the most recent D20 teaser came out and am very much wondering if the “cyber punk watership down” is related to the new teaserrrrrrrr hmm
I’m wondering how Brennan will be integrated later, if the three of them have characters so we’ll established in the Children’s Story…
AAAAAASO EXCITED
Thank you all, so much.
I'm listening to this again after finishing the Children's Campaign because I need a mental and emotional refresh. Good lord...
I enjoy how much audio texture and unacceptable content there is just 10 minutes into this patronage. Thank you.
Wait. I’m just now joining. Can someone tell me what’s going on? 🤣
Watching on my girlfriend's first day driving to work in our brand new car, this is life! I am here at the beginning, incredibly grateful to go on this journey with you all. You possess some of the closest qualities of magic we can percieve in the real world.
Speaking of not knowing some thing; for the longest time I thought that a mullet was a medical condition. I thought it was some kind of weird skin condition or a growth because I would hear people say stuff like “eeew look at that guy’s mullet”
Y’all- the fuel this is giving to my parasocial friendship of theses amazing people! Ugh Repeats as a mantra “you don’t actually know them”
I know the likelihood of any of you seeing this comment is slim, but as someone running their first campaign on stream (after a couple one-shots, but very little in-person GMing, lot of playing on and off stream though) I really REALLY appreciate how candid y'all are about your fears and worries when it comes to running games. Aabria, I absolutely felt SEEN by your comment that you plan and worry and fret until about 20 minutes into game when everything slows down. Anyway, I know I get a real kick out of lovely comments when I catch them on anything I'm in, so I hope you do too and know that you made my life a little bit better today. Thank you <3
Aabrias dog being named after her character is really cool im so excited
So uh I'm new to audio podcasts and I downloaded an app that you can change the playback speech in. I've been crying on the floor laughing at listening to yall talk in a drunken cadence at 0.5x speed. It hurts
Just learned about this today, subscribed IMMEDIATELY and imagine my surprise and delight when I learned that Brennan has visited my country SEVERAL times!!!! So, hi from a HUGE Costa Rican fan!! Hope you’ve been here a lot because we made a good impression!!
Yall gotta peep Spheres5e if you're looking for 5e character building with freedom. Also "I'm gonna write a spicy lemon about that" almost made me throw my phone across the room while howling laughing
Hi GANG! Loved this! Aabria, did you know Suvi is a Finnish female name and also a synonym for Summer?
I thought Lou was thinking of "You're Going to Miss Me" by 13th Floor Elevators
Misfits and magic got me into Dimension 20, it’s great to get y’all around the table again and for long term too
BLM, LW, EI, AI... The four points of the star that guide free form TTRPG, live play, best of class in improv story telling... How lucky are we to experience this?
OH! OH! INTERNET LORE TIME! Okay, so, Brennan? A "lemon" is (or was, back in the oughtie days of wild internet fandom subculture) a term that authors would use to label their fanfics as Sexually Explicit (usually slashfic, frequently one-shots, often m/m or f/f ships--or 1x2+4x3+13x6x9 fics, shoutout to my GW people). It was part of a now-obsolete system of Citrus Ratings that were widely understood but rarely explained-- like a hanky code for pre-social media internet queers. Lemon ("explicit sex definitely happens") and Lime ("sexual themes or implied sex") were the most common, with Grapefruit occasionally used for esoteric or extreme Lemon content. It's from the age of hand-coded shrine websites and fandom webrings, when there were few codified spaces to publish fanfiction online, and the ones that did exist didn't allow adult content, or went through famously catastrophic purges of adult content, like the LJ Strikethrough. Early Online Fandoms had a vast and wonderfully baffling lexicon just for categorizing and identifying fics, so potential readers could immediately parse the tone, genre, subject/s, level of canonicity, maturity, and authorial intent, purely based on a string of nonsense qualifiers. That taxonomy has largely fallen out of use and been replaced by much more streamlined platforms and tagging systems, but sometimes you can still find the terms out in the wild, such as on podcasts with hosts who are absolutely 1000% exactly the kind of people I went to highschool with.
OMG I had no idea how much I needed this reminder of those early daze
So excited for this podcast- looking forward to the rest of the previews with great anticipation for March 1st!
IT’S ABOUT DRIVE IT’S ABOUT POWER WE STAY HUNGRY WE DEVOUR
Grateful for Oren Cohen's https://youtu.be/YkmX2v6pM8Y interview today - Worlds Beyond Number Interview with Brennan Lee Mulligan. Hey, Gang! I'm glad to be here too!!!!
Simultaneously feeling so comforted and SO HYPED by this group's energy. Thanks for sharing your joy with us!
Huge thank you to whoever transcribed!! 😊
Five minutes in and my face already hurts from smiling. So excited for this podcast! :D
Four of the most charismatic, creative, and c-hilarious people on the internet sitting in a room together. So excited for this journey.
Also, I can't think of a better group to try and recreate the *feeling* of a Ghibli movie.
Me: This is great, I'm going to listen to this while I work! Narrator Voice: They did not, in fact, get any work done.
I am so happy to be here! I aspire to guest star on an episode. Lol
I love that the needle drop wasn’t any of the songs mentioned lol lol
Was listening to this again and don't know how I missed the first time around that M Veselak collaborated on Ame's class design, M is brilliant, Wickedness is one of my top 5 favorite games
I will pay $50 a month for 6 to 10 rotating guest stars of Emily Axford, Brian Murphy, Zac and Caldwell Tanner. Emphasis on the Zac AND Caldwell
Brendan and Lou are like peas & carrots
Ooh looking forward to whatever Aabria's cyberpunk bunnies and burrows becomes wherever that happens
Cyberpunk, gotta be one of my favorite genres ever
I really hope they do a Mage: The Ascension game, I know Brennan loves that game but I also have yet to find an actual play of it and I wanna hear some (also hoping they get lou a better mic ngl)
the world is made up of only 2 types of people… there is the lemon club and the non lemon club
This has big zoom energy
This is some truly amazing stuff. I can't wait for the official release!
I have never been more puzzled than hearing "Brennan's back mouth."
...and if you have not seen it, you really should watch/listen to the rest of that GM Round Table with Mercer and Aabriya. So good.
For the record, superman's curl is usually called a spit curl.
Does anyone know how to find the children's adventure?
The children's adventure hasn't been released yet. I can't remember where i read it, but I'm pretty sure it's being released in March with the main campaign.
Loving the kaos so much! Such a delight and now eagerly awaiting the 1st of March!
Loving this so much already, but where is the picture of the kitty with so many toes?!?!
I started listening to this while cooling down on the treadmill at the gym and the faces I was making to try and stop myself from bursting out laughing hysterically were truly insane. Y'all are a joy. 😆
Fully in support of Erika running cyberfalcons!
“STOP SAYING MEXICAN GENTLEMAN” and “HAS EVERYONE BEEN IN A BATHTUB WITH BRENNAN BUT ME???” Have both already killed me, I can’t imagine surviving the rest of this
Definitely not what a Jheri curl is, but Superman was created by a dude named Jerry so his little curl still technically be a Jerry curl 😂
Me trying not to ugly cry on the bus this morning next to a complete stranger
The danger I forsee is that if I ever see any of you IRL, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to help myself from giving you a giant hug. So so so genuine and lovely. And hilarious AF
pansexual gremlin i’m dead💀
yaaaaaay!
SUPER HYPED to see y'all on the JoCo Cruise! Wanted to let y'all know that I'll be running a panel discussion on non-DnD RPGs and how to pick one that fits the needs of your table. Would love to see any or all of you there, and if you'd like to be on the panel, I can absolutely make that happen. If you'd like to contact me, my email is countzane@gmail.com. SOON!
Finally found the time to listen! I can't keep up with the podcasts I already listen to but here we are, and I'm so excited about it <3
Had such a busy week since it first started up on Feb 1, and FINALLY I can listen to this sweet sweet music of hilarity <3 I'm already obsessed!
Eating fries in a hot tub is the exact level of classy I was hoping to throw my money at <3
it's so nice of big DND personalities like Lou, Erika and Aabria to give newbies like Mexican Gentleman a shot
I swear I was already fully invested because this is my dream quartet but I’ve only gotten through the first 5min and I’m cackling with tears coming from my eyes. Love you guys and I’m so locked in and ready for what’s all to come
Brennan's back mouth chomping on prosciutt will haunt my dreams for eternity
four of my favorite people on the internet! glad to see you all having the time of your lives, playing games w/ friends.
This was so great, and the transcript is so excellent as well. So excited for more Fireside stuff.
The transcript is a gift ♥️ thank you
pivot back to the billy club voice!
Cannot express enough how much i treasure the feral energy chats like this, Im excited af for the campaign but if you can throw one of these in the mix every now and then I think I'll be a lifelong listener
This is perfection!
Yuuusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
"That's not where you eat. That's a different hole for that." "Says you, you coward." 🤣
Oh Erika, You sweet summer child. Just say superman curl.
"Moth"-er fuckers?
I truly cannot believe that Brennan Lee Mulligan, King of the Internet, does not know what a "lemon" is. That said, I am SO excited for the stories from this crew.
joined Patreon for the wizard the witch and the wild one, stayed for Cyber Falcons
Honestly, a whole lot more of this would be amazing too, can't wait for behind the scenes stuff maybe? Just friends loving and roasting one another?
this alone was worth the price of admission
I am so here for this, im actually stood behind Brennan right now.
I want cyber punk Watership Down SO BADLY OMG PLEASE
This makes me so happy, just hearing you guys being so excited about this and your camaraderie as friends.
I'm just picturing Lou Terminator-sprinting towards a bakery
Goddamn, i haven't been so cozy, and laughing so hard in a long time 😅
Folks, I need Lou to stop being so f'ing funny. I started listening to this on my way to the coffee store which is only 5 minutes away from me. I had to work really hard to not crash my car while Lou was doing those intros. 😂
beautiful! I can't wait to see what these amazing people create together!!
Lou’s intros are the most perfect thing ever!
this made me laugh multiple times, truly the best way to get me hyped for future content
I was stuck at a light on La Cienega when Brennan said "if you're just joining us..." and then I opened my window to give some money to somebody who needed it, so they got to hear a little snippet. It felt right :D
I’m so hype for every last second of this
I'm already very happy that this is the first Patreon I've supported. Can't wait for the series to start!
I can't be the only one who dearly wants to find Erika on Ao3 now. :D
I need to know everything about the witch class!!!!!
'if you know, you know' oh, I Know
I am now so unbelievably hyped!
I’ll let Brennan be an honorary Mexican
This makes much more sense once I started listening to this.
The Misfits and Magic game will go down as one of the best games I've ever seen.
So happy to hear the fireside chats. You can really hear the love and excitement you all have for this. Super excited to hear more from my four favourite TTRPG people!!
Woooot!! So excited for this
All of my favorite people all in one podcast. Please take all of my money
I loved every moment of this!
It truly feels like sitting around a campfire with all of you and I love you very much for inviting us to share thesespecial beginnings with you <3
So happy to be here from the beginning :)
*Genuine sentimentality and honesty from Aabria* Brennan: now THAT has monetary value baybee
I'm so beyond excited I can't even begin to imagine how fun this journey is going to be.
This is the most insane and amazing podcast I have ever experienced, and I am already addicted for more.
I was on the 5 south sitting in commuter traffic listening to this. 🤣 But it was a crash!
Did Eika say "mendicant ronin"? Because that was beautiful.
already so beautiful
I can't wait for more! Eat the rich!
This is chaos perfection.
AO3 and spicy lemon conversation made me feel so seen. I love y'all.
Saaame! lol Shot me write back to my fanfic writing days on livejournal.
it's so amazing to learn how long this has been brewing in y'all's brains. i really can't wait for what's coming.
Right out the gate - completely unhinged, and I'm here for it.
I don't know WHAT I just listened to. All I remember is Erika doing "the voice"
Is there going to be a way to see the Witch class in case we want to add it to our own campaigns?
Brennan’s Spanish skills! ❤️
I love Lou soo much and his laugh always brightens my day!!!
I just love all of you so much, this is so fantastic and hilarious, but also filled with genuine tidbits about ttrpgs the not only got me excited about the campaign, but amped me up for working on my own games and characters
First 40 seconds; chef's kiss
Thanks for sharing this with us so for an hour I can feel like I'm part of your insanely cool friendship ♥️
Being fair, I also didn’t know and still don’t know what a spicy lemon or AO3 is
AO3 = archive of our own, the most popular fanfiction site. spicy lemon = ancient fandom speak for a smutty/porn fanfic.
The way I could listen to them talk about anything scared me (but also so not ready for the masterclass of storytelling we are about to get on a regular basis and for YEARS 😭)
Ira your ass is glass needs to be a shirt
Super excited for the actual pod but holy cow the unfiltered sentimentality and the cannot-stop-cackling-and giggling bits are also very much what I need more regularly in my life so THANK YOU all for this gift (yes, even though I’m paying for it, still a gift)
Let’s goooooooo
#CoupCrew
Keeping this out of the main feed was the right move. Not saying it wasn't very enjoyable, but it is is best shared with people whose money you already have.
I heart this so much. You humans have gotten me through some very hard times in my life just by being your awesome self's and doing the things you love. Your joy and passion shines through everything you do together. Thank you
This is fabulous, and I like it very much. Suspiciously devoid of borderline ASMR of Brennan chewing almonds too close to the mic tho. Expecting some exclusive bonus content 🌰🥜
idk how much you guys were joking about cyberfalcons but I would absolutely die for an Erika-ran cyberpunk game
Truly it's the best to read the transcript as you hear it lol
This was everything I ever needed in my life.
Omg.... I've never laughed so much
First 60 seconds had me laughing. XD already a well spent 5 dollars. 💕🤙
I really hope they play Kids on Bikes or Teens in Space!
I am not explaining to Brennan what a lemon is 😅😅😅
SCREAAAAMING at the ‘spicy lemon on AO3’ and Brennan and Lou not knowing what’s happening 🤣
For anyone who wants to maybe... hear it again... Erika does "the good voice" as Aabria calls it at 26:22. You're welcome!
LMAO, the transcript reads like it was written by an AI. It's so good!
degenerates for life bb
This was FANTASTIC. I'm immediately excited to subscribe to this for the rest of my natural and possibly unnatural life.
How do I watch the childrens episode?
It's coming out March 1st, same day as episode 1 of the main campaign. But each week we'll be getting one of the previews for each character
Pulling a different CCR song was a great joke, Taylor. Run through the jungle is the perfect blend of what Lou was thinking and what Brennan suggested.
Thank you so much for this birthday 🎁 😂 listening to this made my day
I listened to this in the car & felt profoundly called out lol
I could legit see this party just chilling and chopping it up! Real life friends making a story happen! You guys and gals crack me up!
erika is the pansexual gremlin representation we deserve
HERE WE GOOO
This was so chaotic and I loved every minute of it. You can take all my money as long as you give me more content like this.
that open was the shit.
I actually was blasting this out my car windows down on the way to work
I just snorted at "pan-sexual gremlin" Like, LOUDLY snorted.
My ADHD followed this perfectly
can i just say... so blessed that there's a transcript for this. my HOH ass loves the level of accessibility provided
22:00 Is the natural evolution of hot tub streamers.
I’m glad I was able to help support this! I’m looking forward to more!
Any chance you can post the witch class somewhere? That sounds awesome! So excited for this.
If you ever want to practice your will power, just listen to this while you have to be perfectly quiet because your roommate is streaming not 10 feet away. I stopped breathing so I wouldn't laugh. Brennan's intro from Lou just got me.
The jheri curl conversation almost ended me🤣
Same! I was dyyyyying!
"Stop saying Mexican Gentleman!" had me cackling XD
Very likely the best 5 dollars I've ever spent. I cannot wait to listen to these legends play some dnd!
the audio cut from lou talking about "welcome to the jungle" to CCR's "run through the jungle" was worth the monthly subscription fee alone
I CRIED laughing.
I really, really, really, really appreciate that you have transcripts attached. It's gonna make an already great thing even better for me
Finally a way to be a Patron of Brennan! Take my money!
…..Cyberpunk Watership Down….that sounds incredible…..
Can't wait to jump into this!
So excited for what is to come
Can I just give a shoutout to Taylor for his hilarious and very personalized voice in these posts? I laughed hard at "their confused and rotten counsel."
Lemon is one of several terms used in the olden days* to describe the level of smut in a work of fanfiction. Lemon is explicit, lime is not explicit but still mature. It's the citrus scale. *Olden days which I saw. I say this with deep fondness.
I came here to find this type of comment, because I also remember said olden days with great fondness, and I was not disappointed. Thank you!
Immediately in tears
How did Aabria end up on D20? I feel like we missed a piece of the story where she joined this insanity
This feels like hanging out with the best friends I've never met, thank you all so much for sharing this with us. Excited to be along for the ride!
The back mouth returns! Hahaha
DROP THE WITCH STAT BLOCK pwetty pwease 🥺🥺
Thank you so much for transcripts!!! This means the world to me. <3
I'm like crying a little bit. Yall are so damn wholesome and awesome.
Is it possible to get a link to where the witch class referenced in the ep can be found?
This is immediately great. Fantastic.
This is genuinely so exciting, a podcast was the perfect choice for this
i've been listening to this while walking around my college campus & ppl must think i'm nuts bc im cackling to myself sm
UGH THIS WAS AMAZING. I'm already excited for all the adventures. I've been wanting to do something similar so so bad. And this gave me the inspiration to do so. Thank you, friends!
The Mexican gentleman….😂
This is beyond awesome, glorious, hilarious, and overall a wonderful time! Great work guys you did awesome with this content! ^-^
I'm desperate to know what Brennan thought a halter top was
Oh my god, my four favorite actual-play performers, collaborating... my 90 minute commute just got exciting!
Will the witch class be posted anywhere? :D
First 5 minutes alone made getting a Patreon worth it
positively unhinged, 10/10
"THE MEXICAN GENTLEMAN!" "STOP SAYING THAT!"
Finished NADDpod's mixbag yesterday and it's their 5 year anniversary. Now today blessed with this pod and its content at its inaugural day.
Omg imagine Emily as their first guest. The level of sheer chaos😆😆😆😆😆
The intro was incredible I was like “Oh it’s so cute and soft” and then Brennan just went “What.” and they started fighting each other and I just burst out laughing
"Hey Brennan...?" "WHAT?" ".. FUCK YOU" fantastic 👏🏽 👌🏽 ✨️
Beautiful.
Loving this energy SO MUCH
Absolutely dying laughing, thank you all for making this a thing!!
I'm *dying* right now. I'm out of breath from laughing so hard.
Ahh, what a perfect outro....couldn't be better, really. True friendship right there. :)
Very excited for this!
So excited and this was amazing fireside, thanks!
It is so inspiring to hear how long this has been in the works and makes me that much happier that this group gets to do it!
Honestly? Incredible. Fuck. Me. Up.
LET’S GOOOOOO THIS IS GONNA BE EPIC
I love the idea of The Children’s Adventure as a way to work through character creation and all the things that happen before we ever meet our adventurers…before we ever hit Session 1. Many of us players typically don’t have a chance to do that when we play through campaigns and most backstories are blurbs we explain that might be woven into the story, but to have the opportunity to build characters as they grow up is brilliant. I can’t wait to hear all of the character beginnings because I think it would be something super cool for other campaigns to incorporate.
OK, now this is EPIC!
I'm only 5 minutes in but the chaos itself has me SOLD!!!
Absolutely hilarious. Love the vibes, and I'm excited for the adventure :)
Look up the first movie to ever use Fortunate Son in a Vietnam war setting. It's going to break your brain. It happened way later than everyone thinks.
Looove that M Veselak contributed! Everyone play Wickedness PLEASE
Will you ever share the Witch class rules? It sounds really cool!
I love you all! I'm so happy to be here at the beginning! <3
Everybody's dying to know - did you meet up at Brennan's for food or go to Denny's?
Literally blasting this on the jammed (10)5 and had my catalytic converter stolen last month - did not expect my new favorite fantasy podcast to call out my mundanity this hard this early lol
Hear me out. All participants and listeners should be in their own kiddie wading pools for Lou's game.
"The idea of not having to glue moss to my face before we play a game is very exciting." - A.I. It saddens me that I can't ever share these words of wisdom with the world at large, but man, am I excited for all of the chaos to come.
Brennan and Lou, a lemon is a smut fanfic with varying degrees of actual plot. A cornerstone of exploratory content for many nerd girls.
The beautiful chaos that is this group *chef's kiss*
I am so excited :'))
This is my life now
The amount of joy this gives me. Thank you all for being who you are, and especially thank you Lou, Aabria, and Erica for being there to yell loudly at Brennan in my stead
Wow. Brennan truly undersold it when he said "lightly unhinged."
Any plans to release the Witch Class to patrons?
I'm 1000% ready to dedicate my life to this for years to come.
i knew brennan was a bathtub eater, he just gives off that energy
I just want to vindicate Aabria, I totally did listen to this while driving
I Love this so much but wondering if patrons will get access to the Witch class? Because as soon as they mentioned it was custom I IMMEDIATELY WANTED IT.
I'm sitting at work trying to maintain some semblance of calm .... I lost it 30 seconds in.
Paint it Black
This is so fun so far :)) Thanks for including the transcript also gang!
Lmao not a lemon
erika running a vampire campaign on worlds beyond number when!! this is gonna be so freaking amazing
30 seconds in and I am screaming Omg this is gonna be great
I am so excited to be here
I’m not even 5 minutes into this and it’s UNHINGED and I’m here for it
I nearly died of laughter during the first 5 minutes
This is just so delightful.
I cannot wait for these campaigns. Though I do hope they use good microphones for the actual podcast. It sounds like they're on webcam mics and I'm flashing back to the horrors of D20 remote sessions. I can't do a zoom campaign in audio form lol
Oh yeah it’s all coming together
I... I have to google lemons?
This is absolutely perfect, I'm 2 minutes in
We need a poolcast
Pool party
So good. Excellent start. 2 OwlBear thumbs way up 👍👍
Brennan and Lou not knowing what lemons mean gave me full flashbacks.
Oh yeah it’s all coming together
I just wanna say I have a minor surgery tomorrow I was extremely nervous for and this hour of chaos was much needed. I got tears from laughing and I am so excited to hear more from this group. Love this love y'all.
Good luck with the surgery!
Very excited to learn more about the build for Ame and Eursulon
This was chaotic from start to finish. I’ve always wanted a long, sprawling adventure from each of these magnificent people!
this. this is the content i need.
I love how Lou introduces Aabria as playing in LA By Night when she wasn't in it and then forgets to say that Erika is mostly known from LA By Night 😂
So excited to know who else ran to Aabria’s IG to find out when she got her dog.
Quiddie is already my hero. One of my players recently compared me to her and I thought that was the kindest thing I have ever heard anyone ever say to me in my entire life. The pure elation I felt in that moment however cannot compare to the idea of having literally four of the greatest RPers in the world together doing this. I am beyond happy to give whatever I have to just get to be a part of it. Thank you.
Feels good to be part of the coup crew--I can't wait for more of this!!!
This is a dream come true! Thank you for sharing your joy with us ❤️
Ah, my heart feels good.
I can not wait for more of all of this 😆
This was 100% worth cancelling my netflix for. Five min in and I have zero regrets.
The Cram Daniels' Coup Crew - featuring Slam Jamiels, Gramiel Crackers and Whitney Jammer
Very happy to be a member of the Coup Crew.
I have become a podcast person just in time 😎🔥
I am beyond excited for this
I absolutely love how much this feels like hanging out with friends <3
So pleased to fill my hours with more stories from fantastic storytellers!!
I'm so glad Brennan came from Mexico to record this podcast
'STOP CALLING ME A MEXICAN GENTLEMAN' - the sheer intensity
I’m just glad to be here. And to now know what a spicy lemon is.
oh man calling a fanfic a 'lemon' takes me straight back to like, 2004.
I shan't worry too much about how excited I am for this.
Disgusting gremlins is right! Made me feel right at home. 😊💜
CUSTOM WITCH CLASS
This was the best thing my ears have been blessed to listen to lmao HERES TO A NEW ERA
Brennan and Lou not knowing what AO3 Lemon is is just the cherry on top of an amazing episode zero! Loved every bit of it and can’t wait to cry/laugh along with all of y’all!
Rumor has it if you leave a pile of brie, a lantern, and a hammer in them there hills you can summon yourself an illusive Taylor
what a time to be alive! so excited to cry with y’all on the children’s adventure 🥲❤️
I love the idea to listen to the childrens adventure. This will be so wholesome and amazing. I alway feel like, as a social worker too, you can learn so much through the past and the growing-up of a person through the eyes of themselves and I‘m so thankful that you let us be part of this important chapter of the Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One 💛
i'm genuinely upset that i'm a grown adult remembering the citrus scale
Lou, I love you. Brennen, I love you but mostly when you are with Lou. I would comment on Aabria and Erica but I'm afraid I heard their voices and fainted dead away from an intense emotion that I can't describe and am afraid to examine too closely because the hero worship is so intense. I have just started listening to this and I'm ten minutes in and deeply in love with the podcast as well. Thank you for this effort; I am having to stop it and go back every three minutes because I'm laughing and missing bits. This is pretty fantastic shit.
Okay I've GOTTA ask if that witch class is gonna get released for public use because a brennan lee mulligan homebrew class is so cool
Alexa, remind me to listen to this in the morning..
Gods, I knew this was going to be the energy, but I had NO idea how wild we were gonna get straight out the gate.
Lemon coup crew what’s up
Ending on Lou yelling “fuck you!” to Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries is PEAK
@brennan Lemon is lesbian fan fiction
i'm begging absolutely everyone to never ever explain what lemon is to brennan
So excited it's finally here!
The lemon thing is killing me
Coup crew for life!
The chaos is so strong. I has a happy.
Here for Crammy D
Aabria, you may not like gluing moss to your face, but it looked great. I don't know if you think the juice was worth the squeeze, but it was a great aesthetic, especially in combination with all the other scenery.
Oh, please believe I absolutely LOVED IT! I love doing the *most* but it’s also nice to have some good good garbage girl time too!
Glad to be part of the Coup Crew 💖🫡
Serious binyous here
The spicy 🍋 lol
i was here on opening day
The beginning had me rolling on the floor x)
I thought you were kidding when you said 'immediately turns into gremlins' but nO...Y'ALL MAKE PROMISES AND KEEP THEM...IT'S STILL GOING AS I TYPE THIS...OH MY GAWD...IT'S INCREDIBLE...I'M SMILING SO HARD RIGHT NOW.
Thank you for going off the rails, pretty much, immediately. I love this energy.
Brennan, and anyone else curious if you Google citrus scale fanfiction you can find out what lemon means in this context.
Wow, I'm so glad to have this.... Abrea just said some really interesting ideas behind the setting and then many toes.
any plans to release the witch class?
!!!!!
❤️
the IMMEDIATE LOSS of all decorum is beautiful and i'm so glad it exists
my heart cannot take this i physically could not be more excited
That guitar riff though
The intro alone shows how amazing this is going to be. I'm so excited!
truly the gremlinest of energies
even in this episode alone the sound design and sound composition really is something
I'm 5 minutes in and it's 90% wheezing
Coup crew reppin' omg I'm so excited to listen!!
Brennan, a lemon is essentially a smutty fanfiction! Hope that helps.
Here's to the coup crew, and to Cram Daniels. That's Larp, Baby!
100%
Hey, hey. Erika? I Love you. Hey Aabria? I love you, too. Lou? I definitely love you. And Brennan? There's no way I couldn't love you.
30 seconds in and I'm already loving these vibes
