WWW: The Children's Adventure Episode 2

Episodes 2 and 3 are out of order in the Spotify version of the fireside

Heartbreakingly lovely

"A path becomes a road when first it feels the touch of bounded wheel or the iron of a horse's shoe. "

On my second listen of the whole campaign no idea I’d cry at “marvelous first spell” 😭😭

Apparently patreon does not allow you to download mp3 files for podcasts. I don't own a smartphone and use an MP3 player to listen to everything. Does anyone have a workaround?

Marvelous spelll of an episode

So good! The screaming is doing my head in though. Hopefully that dies down when they stop doing the children thing.

1:35:15….Eursulon wants honor and Kaliah follow, prelude of the Taboo of Passage…she was first and he’s been on his way…gut wrenching, screaming…why Brennan, why…clever..clever..clever (overall 3rd time through but first after the completion of book 1) 🦊🔥❤️🤗

let's goooooooooooo eursulon m'boy

why wouldn't you fill just half the bucket???

First time watching this, just needed to share when it was revealed Ame's first spell was saving Suvi from her nightmare. I burst into tears oh my god that was beautiful

The amount of content and characterization Lou Wilson can pack into "Mm-hm" is a joy.

I don't remember this?! If so I will have to listen again?!

“Marvelous first spell” —— I said out loud “Oh Brennan, what?!?!” As tears started streaming down my face. My dog got worried and I spent the next 10 mins trying to explain to my dog what happy tears were.

Suvi breaks my heart EVERY TIME SHE SPEAKS.

"Are you dead?" Children are adorable. That is so real.

"Foods here on one minute" KILLS me 😂

The track that begins 15:35 and picks up at 17:28... this is what I'd kill for at my table, absolute favourite

Just discovered this podcast and I just have to say, I downloaded Patreon just to be able to listen to these.

It's so good, like SO good. I can't believe it took me this long to find this podcast

Listening to the children adventures while waiting for Fireside Chat ep48

I have not been captivated by such a story in a long long time. This is FANTASTIC and I can't wait to spend this month grinding through this movie.

first time listening wowowowow i love ame and suvi so much i hope they never experience sadness ever

Coming from the main pod to this, brings SO much context. I LOVE this so much 😍

as a certified goat hater i feel seen

Suvi: “That’s not true. No, magic is super controllable. That’s the whole thing about it.” Ame: “HAHAHAHA… oh ☹️” 😂 oh babies. Adorable and devastating. I never knew I needed Aabria and Erika to be in magical summer camp together but here we are.

Damn Grandma Ren is so cool. Wizard of the Wandering Road, has to be something. Spoiler Grandma Ren doesn't even need a spellbook, she Knows, she knows the secrets of the world and of its Heart

first time listener! this literally feels like inner child therapy for my soul lol

This podcast is truly magic ✨ "A marvelous first spell" hit so hard. Seeing children bond with each other and with Grandma Wren is truly the most heartwarming thing I've seen in a long time. ♥️

Erika's Nat 1 followed by Brennan's "Perfect" is just 🤌✨

"marvelous first spell" had me in physical pain trying to stop myself from crying (and I shed a tear or two anyway) 😭😭 the amount of times I have started crying/tearing up/laughing in public bc of this podcast is truly unparalleled to any other media I have consumed bc goddd I love this show sm

First proficiency of the game is nature, taken by the wizard. You guys stop it, I’m dying. Love this story so much

I'm listening to this episode and as I'm kneading bread to bake, Brennen describes lohan the baker and I felt like I was being watched.

I just joined patreon bc I fell in love listening to WWW on spotify, but this audio keeps glitching at like 27 min and I can't listen to the whole thing 😭

I’m late to these episodes but OMGGGGG I was even expecting the phrase “marvelous first spell” because I foolishly looked at the comments before listening to the entire thing. BUT STILL automatic tears. Unbidden. Why is it so good???!??

"Marvelous first spell" fucking took me out!! 🥹 now I'm sitting here sobbing

I just love hearing the reactions from everyone.

Cried when he said marvelous first spell, -&_$@ still crying

I am fascinated by the rules for character building were they ever released.

My feelings cannot fit inside me. I'm going to gnaw my own hand off. It's taken me five days to finish two episodes because I have to keep pausing to cry and flap my arms.

"marvelous first spell" SO MANY FEELINGS, STOP (don't)

Completed enchanted by this bunch. This is the perfect dose of joy and hope and dazzlement to counteract the adult world.

Relistening to the Children's Adventure and I am, once again being punched in the gut with emotions. Particularly Ame and Suvi cuddling up, and it feeling like home. Ugh. I simply cannot /pos

I’ve worked with goats at wildlife trusts. Mostly chill and affectionate dudes that I love. However, one of the hardest domestic animals to control when they want something. In my mind the goat doesn’t care about Ame it just wants the food and she’s too small to keep it out of reach haha. Little to no fear of people if they’re well domesticated so won’t charge, the downside is still no personal space. They will stand in your way/on your toes for scratches and try eat you clothes and rake, no moving them too stubborn. Too many times have I been snuck up on while bending over on my knees and become a step stool for a goat to reach tasty leaves.

"Marvelous first spell." I'm sobbing so hard

I started a relisten of Arc 1, then quickly realized that my relisten actually needed to start with the children. Can't wait for Arc 3!!

I’m on round three or four of listening to these and it never gets easier. THEY’RE SOOO GOOOD!!! ALL THE TEARS!!!!

In which we learn that Brennan has FEELINGS about goats

What was Ame’s first spell? I missed what was actually done.

GOATING ATTACK 😂 Aabria wins DnD

I am sick and delirious and this is truly the most charming thing in the world. I wept with laughter at The Charge of the Goat Brigade.

I have a feeling that if there was ever a live action version, when Ame goes flying from the goat pen, a cabbage patch kid will be thrown in the air.

If grandma Wren were real my inner child would want to find this "home" do badly

"When it actually feels like my home!" Literally started crying

Marvelous first spell made me WEEP

There's so much room for activities!!

I CRIED AT MARVELOUS FIRST SPELL

I wonder: when Eursolon grows up why he couldn't just pursue honor rather than let go his dream. If the bear eventually wants to eat his children and cast them out? Eursolon is then free to pursue honor outside the woods, is he not?

I’m so late to the party on this but I’m crying and would absolutely die for any of these little angel babies that is all thanks

This alone was worth the five dollars 😭😭😭😭

Just discovered this, and I'm loving it. This is such a wonderful tabletop experience - I'd love to run a "children's adventure" style campaign with one of my groups. Not sure if I can talk anyone into it tho...

Running a ghibli inspired campaign and we were talking about doing a character first world build and starting as kids and I'm like welp better join the WBN patreon for inspiration

This is truly brilliant and moving story telling. Really incredible stuff.

Listened to Preludes and there was absolutely no way I'd be able to not listen to the rest of this. Thanks for being amazing y'all 🙌✨❤️

Up through the soil! THAT ENDING IS STUNNING STORYTELLING. STUNNING!

I adore how you normally would get the opposite of Eursolons story, of a human (often a child) stumbling into the fae world and becoming enamoured with it and their customs. Here he is the fey creature who falls in love with the human ideals of purpose and honor and heroism. Love it so much. And all the children are wonderful I could spend forever with them!

is there a way to download the patreon audios offline? i like to listen to stuff whilst i sleep, but preferably without wifi as all my notifs escape the 'do not disturb' mode

I used to play bass for Subordinate Goat

Can we listen to this on Spotify so I can listen while driving?

I love each of these characters so much, and this whole thing sounds so magical I’m hooked

I can smell the dew covered forest

ugly crying

This feels like listening to a Miyazaki movie happening in real time, its absolutely wonderful!

This is the best thing I got my self for my birthday. I love this so mucb

AABRIA. GOATING ATTACK??? I LOVE THAT.

Suvi is such an indoor kid, forced to be in a party with 2 outdoor kids

I've played Erika's Not Again too many times to count.

Thinking of buckets Demon goats in the paddock Making summer friends

The fiddle for Grandma Wren's meeting with Suvi? Yeah, that was real good. <3

This is the second time I've almost cried at work... GUH that scene where Grandmother says, "Marvelous first spell."

I was not gonna get the Patreon, but here I am! Damn you Brennan, Erika, Aabria, and Lou for being too good! *shakes fist* Damn you!

This is incredible. Ame vs the goats couldn't be any funnier.

I missed the beginning before because I had the early version. That was so sweet.

"Taro's not mean, he's just your Nemesis." Should be on a shirt...

I've never been this attached this quickly to charactesr in an actual play format. I would have never predicted to suddenly weep from the wholesomeness of Ame's first spell over dinner. This is truly special, and I'm here for it. Can't wait for the adventure!

I'd love to see the goat scene animated. Two points of view. One from Ame's point of view, showing the terrifying goat battle. And one from an outside perspective showing it to be much less dire.

FINALLY realized this whole misfit children congregating in a magic cottage vibe reminds me of Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic series! Found family has always been one of my favorite tropes, and I’m both excited for this Children’s Arc and terrified by the time skip and what that means for their friendship 😭😭😭

Glad to see I’m not the only one who burst into VIOLENT tears at “marvelous first spell dear.” BRENNAN!!!

Half way through... This is making me so tender. Between the benevolent elders and sweet kids... This just makes me tearful.

I was NOT prepared for the flood of emotions at "Marvelous first spell." Caught me completely by surprise, like in FHSY learning where Pok's Office was.

noooooooooooooooooooo i'm already emotionnally attached beyond reason, that cannot be good

Ame got stuck in the barrel the same way my roommates cat gets stuck in the trashcan when he's being a little trash baby.

God, the Great Bear. Brennan gets ancient primal spirits SO RIGHT. And Eurulon’s arc just grabs me on such a base level.

MARVELOUS FIRST SPELL!!!!! Incredible episode, that line brought me to tears. Also absolutely LOVING baby eursulon no idea what honor is but he WANTS it!!

Does anyone else want a Grandma Wren prequel?

Episodes 2-5 aren’t being picked up by overcast?

First off, this is incredible. I would be totally fine with following them along as children forever. Also, did Erika take crafting for Ame's first proficiency? What version of D&D are y'all playing?

Ame's first spell was for Suvi, and that was everything to me.

Y’all am I going to cry every episode? All. The. Feels. ♥️

Just listening to Ame’s music for a reliable dopamine hit.

I am feral for the cuteness of this little bear who just wants honor and a quest and does not know what those words mean😭 just the childhood urge of wanting

I just got my third case of COVID in 9 months on my birthday and this episode drop has really helped me dig out of some deep blues. Thanks to all of you. (FWIW am vaxxed and mask everywhere)

The goats!! What a perfect representation of what being a tiny child was like

This episode warmed my heart <3

And now I'm crying while Lou interrupts with "food is here in 1 minute".

Sorry to repeat myself but could the editor please lower the audio a bit on Erika’s screams? She’s got awesome range in her pipes but the sudden prolonged high pitched noises make the episodes a lot less accessible, at least to me.

"cheeks full, heart open" 🤣 loving everything about these charming and adorable children!!

“Marvelous first spell” had me in absolute waterworks. Good lord, Brennan. I caaaaaaan’t. My emotions. But like… my emotions in the best way?

LIVESTOCK?!?

Listening to WBN at work is dangerous because sometimes it's silly funtimes. But sometimes Brennan will just psychoanalyze your decor style and lay all your shit out for you to see. <3

Ame casting her first spell and that whole comforting crying Suvi scene 😭😭😭😭😭❤️

MARVELLOUS FIRST SPELL 😭😭😭😭😭

"Marvelous first spell..." 🥴🥺😭😢🥹🥲

The adventures of Ame and Suvi!

it's a culvert brennan

Oh that "First Spell" really got me. Well played

Every time Aabriya and Erika make any noise in reaction to something, I truly feel that on a molecular level because UGHHHHHH ; A; There should be a content warning on this by the way. Warning: Listening to the Childen's Adventure will make you vomit rainbows and butterflies while crying from the cuteness or sadness.

Is there a fan art hashtag yet?

I'm just sobbing through these. Ach!

Thanks, already crying at 'marvellous first spell' and we've barely gotten started. I didn't sign up for this! (I did. I know I did.)

OMG “marvellous first spell” 😭🥰

I love Taro

This feels like a studio Ghibli film in podcast form and I love it more than anything

Burning question, is it 雨, 飴, both, or neither?

Erika's screaming is so charming :)

One takeaway from this episode: Suvi is a horse girl

I literally started crying at work when Ame was like “Hey me too” when Suvi said she was just there until her parents picked her up

The transcript note is adorable and I appreciate it as someone who always uses them. 🤘

I love the idea of the time dilation of a faerie story from the fae perspective.

Suvi vs Taro has big Coyote/Roadrunner energy.

"Marvelous first spell." 😭😭😭😭😭

Erica's dice were not cooperating today 😆

Bless you! I had a nauseating migraine last night so this appeared at the precise moment I needed it.

“Marvellous first spell” made me cry in the car, thanks Brennan

hehe, I was JUST getting antsy for some content. Their timing blessed me (although I feel like they know what they're doing and I am falling for their trap)

“Marvelous first spell” 🥹💕

I don’t know if it’s just on my end, but this particular episode is not appearing on the Apple Podcast Fireside feed

"It actually feels like my home" had me almost fully breakdown at work I was NOT ready for the feels 😩😭🤣

Please let “Marvelous First Spell” be merch

So "It's a Goating Attack" is going to be a merch pitch, right?

LETS GOOOO

My god this is beautiful. What touching performances from everyone.

I love these babies!

Lou validating me going “I thought you were gonna say make a song”

What a marvelous first spell 🥹

Baby Ame continues to be the cutest thing! I also love the gradual montage of skill proficiencies as they grow up!

The goats!!

another wonderful punch in the feels

I'm getting the impression that witches are kind of like how they're depicted in the Tiffany Aching novels - Which isn't a bad thing!

The training to learn proficiencies is amazing. Never would of thought of that.

The first 15ish minutes are missing from the transcript!

God this is fucking fantastic

This is exactly the kind of combat I require from a campaign

The transcript does not match the episode. Still an excellent episode!

Does anyone else's episode not match the transcript? I was listening to the Goat part last night and now it's seemingly gone from the episode

screaming, crying, throwing up

Since these were released all at once, does that mean nothing for the next 7 weeks or you move on immediately to the “now” campaign?

Y'all gotta stop making me cry out of wholesomeness at work. You gotta stop 😭

I assume I will cry a normal amount and will proceed to do so! Happy Children’s Adventure Day to all those who celebrate. :D

LIVESTOCK????

God what a beautiful episode.

aww I can't with the snuggling I love them

This is such a great treat to wakeup to 💗

"Marvelous first spell" made me absolutely bawl

This isn't playing for me. It gave me the first 30 seconds, and then just stopped. Now it's only showing the "replay" icon, but the timestamps on both ends are 0:00 :'(

These people weave real magic from these stories and I have already fully cried

Halfway through the first episode and I'm already in tears? Coolcoolcoolcoolcool

Whelp... Looks like I'm not sleeping tonight.

All I want is art of Ame and Suvi's bedroom!!

Listen, I don't think it's fair how one second I can be grinning and the next second crying or crying while grinning, this is too much talent. What a wonderful, magical podcast. I knew it was going to be good but my lord - it is exceptional beyond what I ever expected.

I kinda liked the idea that it wasn’t Ame “casting a spell” at all that staved off Suvi’s nightmares, and that it was just her being compassionate and kind and Grandma Wren was recognizing that as it’s own kind of magic by saying “marvelous first spell”. But also, I think it’s kinda cool that she has a sign that says “Be Kind” and the first spell she ever cast was out of kindness

It’s pure magic 🌸🐔🐻

"this is the sound of worlds beyond number" aaaaah I LOVE it

About 1/3 into this having taken the time to relisten to the preludes, I need to ed. I've time tween this & that to listen in. Hoping my new buds will help me zone/immerse in the sound. May we all stay cozy, as we follow this virtual campsite storytelling. <3

This is just delightful ☺️

The goats and the GOAT (Taro)

This was a hell of a fucking thing to wake to, holy moly.

ARE YOU DEAD IS IT DEAD?

I’m not seeing these on the fireside RSS feed. Is that a mistake on my end, are they not intended to be there, or are they just not uploaded yet?

marvelous first spell. im in tears

Ame gave Suvi good dreams, I literally can’t even

HOW CAN THESE CHILDREN POSSIBLY BE THIS CUTE

I want more Eursolon!!!

Hey is anyone else TOO HYPED for this?!

I want a map of the cottage!

Very excited to listen to it all.

Truly can’t get over how beautiful and crisp this sound is.

As someone who had to feed goats as a child .... Accurate

Ya girl schlorping this

Anyone else going to listen to these first and then the actual campaign?

YES YES YES

Yay!

CHARGE ON SOLDIERS, IT HAS ARRIVED

YEAH!!!

My hero’s, immediately listening

love love lOVE!

YE SYES YES i love you.

SCREAMINGGGG. IT'S HEREEEEEE

AhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHH
