[One Shot] A County Affair: Prologue

Hello there. I have been hearing the song that plays in this recording EVERYWHERE in the TTRPG scene, what is it called and did you guys write it?

And just as Erika mentions time blindness, my ADHD self is like "wait, I thought this clip was only around 12 minutes and it feels like it's been longer than that." Serendipity

Brennan: I'll tell you this for free. . . Me: I AM PAYING FOR THIS PATREON, BRENNAN

i love that 2/3 of that is a conversation about bathroom courtesy xD

Shower Lacroix for everyone!

Trigger warning The irony that exactly 7 days after this I checked on a family member who went to use the shower, 50minutes after they went in, and it turns out they overdosed. Thats crazy timing

I have IBS so I am spending at least 50 minutes to an hour on the loo. I could not get my bathroom business done in 20 minutes or less. Showering is like 10 minutes max.

this would be an ADORABLE animation

Brennan is correct. How long I’m taking is my business.

Since wing tips are the standard they could have Velcro to the tongue on the sides instead of laces. This maintains the look but adds the convenience

1. I look forward to the madness that these players will bring to Erika's game. 2. I live in a more rural area and I never heard this shoe tying song in real life. 3. I find tying shoes a waste of time, but don't want to have loose laces flopping around to trip me up. I like to get these Merrell shoes, https://amzn.to/3PE6fKz. They've met any business dress codes I've had to deal with. Plus, they're super comfy and easy to put on/take off.

Are we not able to listen to these via podcast app, and can only listen on here?

Y'all are all just fucking magic. From the silliness of the Players to Taylor's "Feeling Teased! GOOD."

Velcro shoes fit the principles of universal design: useful for everyone, especially for those who can't tie shoes, whether because they're too young to learn or because of some disability. Rheumatism, anyone?

This may not be chill to share products that yall say ya want....... buuuuuuuuut i mean velcro shoes are super important to me. and though i an adult fully in their 30s have small enough feet to still wear childrens blinky shoes, sometimes one needs dress shoes. I sew spats to the top of these, bam-zap-pow. dress sneakers. https://tinyurl.com/t5amywyt These are the velcro shoes i wear exclusively elastic laces system for never tying shoes again. Im austic and OCD, and have found its much easier for me to actually leave the house if putting on my shoes is completely hands free. Also for those who gym or have bodies constantly betraying them from the moment they wake up til they go to sleep... https://tinyurl.com/2dw2bauj UV Light with fan for clean not stinky shoes also works on strong farm animal smells.

I am excited to see this system in action. The explanation sounds promising.

Can't wait to find out how long the chicken stays in the bathroom.

Hey this is for the small chance that Taylor sees this we need more Spotify playlist. Normal exquisite is a great mood.

My grandma had a chicken named Ruthie. Ruthie thankfully did not have a gun

(not beautiful, but Vans definitely has their Old Skool shoes with Velcro for adults. I have them and it's the best. Highly recommend.)

Chicken with a gun? I’m all in 😁

I'm fully ready for "see you at the trough, comrades" merch

Will this be replacing WWW? Or will it be released along side WWW? And if y’all already said and I just missed it I am so sorry.

MOTHER FUCKING WEEEEEEE HAPPY MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

Gulp gulp

Excited! And cheering Erika on on this first!

I am so excited immediately

Can't wait! This is gonna be a a blast, love you guys, and Taylor kills that sound design every time. Looking forward to whats to come

This sounds like a fun time, can't wait ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧. Y'all are a treat too listen to, and that sound editing my guy you are slaying it.

I haven't listened yet, but my middle name is Ruth and I was named that after my aunt (RIP)... and I can't wait to see which one of us more closely resembles Brennan's gun-toting chicken Ruthie.

Can we get that background music as just a downloadable song? Because it rules. There's almost a Gangstagrass vibe.

The bathroom conversation absolutely killed me 😂

Hey, can we get clarification on whether Erika actually swallows their toothpaste, like a creature God forgot?

My cock is a'crowin'

As soon as I saw the chicken with a gun on the art, I knew that was Brennan.

LET'S GO ERIKA!!!

Omg I can’t wait 😱

I just wanted to point out that one of the songs in the Don Bluth film Rock-a-Doodle is a much better shoe tying song. It’s not on YouTube though.

Sketchers Slip Ins are damn close to the Velcro shoe utopia brenna is looking for

As a patron I would just like to say that I feel my money is well spent on as many audio segments as you can all put together of the team just shooting the shit over random shit like bathroom habits. Truly, just, as much as you can record, I will happily consume. I would even pay extra.

2 things I learned from this teaser: 1: Apparently you can’t get shoes with Velcro for adults, that are still considered “Nice shoes” in the US. Which prompts me to wonder if my country is the weird one in this equation. 2: Lou, Aabria, Erica and Brennan apparently have a similar friendship to what I had with my friends at 14 when I went to boarding school, where we sometimes showered together to save time. Which prompts me to wonder do they also, like me and my friends did, take naps at the same time in a big pile, and practice/work at the same time, so that no one worries that they are missing out on something. And also that there will be a new adventure and it sounds super fun.. so I guess I learned 3 things. In any case, I am excitement!😊

Best $5 I ever spent

Monk strap Oxford shoes are a nice fancy shoe choice without laces. They’re just buckles.

All Hail Humble GM, ERIKA

Im so excited for Erika to GM! Epicccccc

Full on did a spit take when Brennan said "im Ruthie the hen" and lou immediately after "and i swallow" 😆

This patreon is the best money I spend all month (you know, besides food, rent and life saving medicine). Very excited.

100% was taught the song from a little tie your shoes book. Didn’t learn it. Wore Velcro shoes for years.

god im so glad we get erika DMing im so excited, also sweet new system love it!!

the ART

Glorious

Fully lost it at Ruthie’s “Gulp Gulp!” I just burst out laughing AT WORK! I love these wackos!

They do make velcro shoes for adults!

It's not a Worlds Beyond Number show unless there is 5 minute sidetrack about tieing shoes

I'm losing my mind, roll for shoes was the first ttrpg I ever ran and this is so validating, I can't wait to see how y'all do this, I am BEYOND excited.

LET'S GOOOK

I'm also a two-spitter at the end of brushing my teeth, but "I SWALLOW!" slayed me. I'm dead now. This comment is coming from beyond the grave.

“we’re all in the room by the way…” took me OUT

AHH

Itsa Winnerbaby is an AMAZING name

That theme song is so good! TAZ Amnesty vibes in the *best* way. Can't wait to hear Aabria drop some weirdly chilling Black Phillip quotes.

God that chicken has a glock

I was sold as soon as I saw the chicken packing heat

If you took me back in time 13 minutes, held a gun to my head and asked me to predict even one single talking point for this prologue i simply wouldnt have made it

I FEEL BRENNAN SO MUCH ON THE VELCRO SHOES THING

I have *never* heard the shoe-tying song, fwiw.

Itsa Winnerbaby sounds like one of the guests’ names on fireside chats.

As much as I have enjoyed the rotating guests in the main campaign, it'll be great to get Lou Wilson on the show!

Can’t wait for this!

GOOD NEWS! There are velcro shoes for adults - hmu if you need recs

I am so excited to hear this! Cannot wait for the various bizzare animal voices

why is this the best thing in the universe, this is going to be so amazing

Bonus content on a Thursday? Made my day

Do not cross that chicken!

I absolutely love the poster for this small campaign!!💕 Can I ask who the artist is?? Can't wait for the full episode!!💕

This is the first time I'm really looking forward to my morning commute....

The fact Brennan is playing the chicken fully explains why the chicken has a gun on the picture, and most likely in the story too.

I thought I mastered the shoe tying skill... But 3 minutes into this episode, I feel like maybe I'm missing a step?

Literally could not be more excited to hear Ishii GMing.

I wonder if Itsa Winnerbaby will be... fortunate.

LOVE the poster.

Eeeèeeeeeeeee

Hey, hey creator gang. Please PLEASE consider releasing some “just chatting” type episodes as patreon special. It can be about anything, y’all have proper lege bants, as my English mates would say and just listening to y’all talk about random shit was delightful.

SO EXCITED OMG!!!

I see people discussing the gun chicken, but consider the raccoon fighting for its life on the ferris wheel

Hell yes! And also... they do make adult Velcro shoes https://footwearnews.com/shop/shoes-guide/best-velcro-shoes-for-adults-1203093618/

!!!

Does that chicken.. have a gun?!?

IM SO EXCITED TO LISTEN TO THIS!!!

WHY DOES THE CHICKEN HAVE A GUN

Hell yeeehaw!

Taylor continues to sound like 'sassy Brennan' to my ears. This is not a complaint I just sometimes can't track which it is for the first line or two.

I am R E A D Y.

Ye ye!

Yeeeeehaaaaaw

Of *course* Erika would be a raccoon.

Woot!
