Sparky is my grandma's nickname she's had for years, AND it's what I named my childhood stuffed animal (that I still have, 25 years strong)
Gonna be a mechanics nerd right alongside Aabria: in previous editions you could hold multiple concentrations and meta magic was actually easier for wizards than sorcerers. 5e limits concentration to cap how much buffing and battlefield control you have at one time. Making Metamagic a Sorcerer thing seems to have just been a shot at making Sorcerers feel more unique, since they barely varied from Wizards before.
Illusionist wizard who spins around a huge fucking mirror (as if they’re advertising a car dealership on the curb in front of a strip mall) is SO goddamn funny, and is absolutely my next character
Dibbs on Solace as my wizard name unless Brennan already got it
My re listen to all the fireside chats has been going strong. I still do not understand the image Taylor put in the description of this one
Also, this episode is a gem! My soul remembered every part of this fireside
I'm sorry "gender is cis" without knowing male/female is so funny
“The fuck is a witch?”
Crazy frog goes crazy
Relistening and I fully forgot this was the one where Lou points out that Dual Monsters would be totally doable in DnD. I gotta stop listening to y'all be funny when people are sleeping.
Witches are the magic blue collar ones.
I absolutely lost it during the Bag it or Tag it segment. Especially as a VtM fan. Lol
I'm thinking "magical hippies" for witches
i had to pause listening when we got to bag it or tag it because im in public and we got to cis what and i couldn’t hold back the laughter
Wow the theme really SENT ME😂😂😂
can we please have a pin that says cis what???? 😂
Craig was so based about the staves
Went straight from the ending crazy frog bit into the start of a dungeons and daddies episode and the vibes were seamless 😂
Witches are to Druids what Artificers are to Wizards.
listening to this at 8:00am crying laughing at “honey it just says cis”
taylor has once again outdone himself with the crazy frog bag it or tag it theme mashup😭😭
The theme song. 😆
I’m about to run a campaign where a good chunk of it takes place in one single city, and this is really helping me get in the mindset.
I can smell the patchouli coming off Wizard Sonder lmao
I'm sorry everyone but Witches are magical theater kids.
If Wizard Savory is the canon now, we RIOT
What did the fire temori day to Suvi after she kissed Silver? I didn't catch it
BIG YES to Bag It or Tag It!
The crazy frog theme music Taylor loops in is so funny and perfect
I don’t know if this the correct place to ask questions for next talk back episode but this is my question: since the title of Wizards are powerful specifically with S’s how powerful is the name “Soul”. I wondered cause every living thing, at least to our current knowledge, has one. Love the show guys! 😘
Request for an escape from Panama one shot 😂
What I think I like most about "cognitive load for wizards" is that it ups the stakes evenly. Like... It's gonna suck when a punch to the sternum breaks concentration on all of your spells simultaneously. But it's a glorious time 'til that happens... (I'll also add, we need a subclass that specializes in *maintaining* concentration, at a cost of something else. That one's harder to balance, but the same logic calls for it.)
Yon just sounds like 5 from umbrella academy!
Bag or tag it is the best!
Can we get a feed that has all the main episodes and bonus episodes combined? I just like to keep my subscriptions clean and it would be a nice to have.
Fan casting Stanley Tucci as The Wizard Sonder
The crazy frog got me so good at work
The theme song! Holy fuck Taylor you are a treasure 😂
I just had to draw the Wizard Savory https://twitter.com/MaximusJohnso13/status/1736127509362520304?t=tRnxw1zMxaUsCtBr19NPaQ&s=19
Omg I love him, he's perfect
I hate how often people knock getting married young. Like I know so many people who it worked out great for.
Where my Hadestown homies at?
T A Y L O R !!!!!! XDDD Omfg !!!
Taylor is an actual genius, I won't be convinced otherwise 😂❤️
The movie Old is so confusing and horrible, hot personal take. It’s like the explanation for the whole movie is the world old itself.
Holy cow... the crazy frog...
The crazy frog sent me 😂😂 I love this pod SO MUCH
Love you guys! Hope Brennan is enjoying his stone and its romancing.
"I wasn't allowed to have lunchables" was the most relatable thing yet 😅
WRT how witches fit into the "how they get magic" thing, I like putting them beside scientist=wizard and engineer = artificer for Witch = trades person
So I uh. Have to do or watch something. Have to. While listening to stories and such. When I tell you that I have watched *hours* of forest videos....
If sorcerers are nepo babies, warlocks are sugar babies, and wizards are nerds then witches are shop kids. The kids who went to technical school and learned a trade but don’t get respect for all the technical knowledge that have cause they didn’t get a degree.
this is it
Did anyone else have to look up the definition of Sonder? No? Just me? Ok. https://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/post/23536922667/sonder sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
Taylor is the Wizard Sound and i will not be taking questions.
"What The Fuck Is A Witch" is a bumper sticker I didn't know I needed.
Fancy meeting you here!
So a thought I had was what if grandmother wren and witches aren't long lived, they just slip in and out of the fae realm willy nilly and skip around on time. People will be like "awe it's been so long, you haven't aged a day" and wren saw them "yesterday"
Today I learned that crazy frog a) exists and b) covered Axel F.
Fun fact: c) they also bumped Coldplay from having a #1 hit in 2005
Has anyone thought of their S names yet??? We've got to get like an Instagram filter or something haha
I'm the Wizard Sorceror. Yes I'm sure I'm a wizard! No, not multi-classed. Just wizard. Why do y'all always ask that?
I was really hoping they'd talk about how hot the fireball tamori were.... Or was that just me?
"everyone that matters is hot" -Siobahn Thompson
Absolutely waiting for the fan art of the Bag It or Tag It candidates
I literally yelled CIS WHAT?! In my car on the way home from my night class 🤣 bag it and tag it is a new favorite
If a sorcerer is a nepobaby, a wizard a nerd, and a warlock a sugar baby, then a witch is a homeschooled kid.
Homesteading homeschool kids
I listen to these at work and it was a STRUGGLE holding it together for the bag it and tag it theme song
This episode put a gazing expression on my face. 🫠
I think we need a game where Craig just pronounces things he’s never heard before from obscure fantasy games.
Taylor has outdone himself with the Bag It or Tag It theme song lmao
Came here to say exactly this
My takeaway from this: witch = artificer but make it cottagecore.
Hi! I was wondering if Taylor’s score will be on spotify/ already is. i am obsessed with it
Witches are the DIY influencers of the magic world.
I want to say that’s sacrilege - but then again, they are really invested in building community, and many of them live on homesteads…
This is a formal request that you incorporate the names and ideas discussed in this fireside chat into future episodes. From staff alternatives to the wizard “Savory” and everything in between. GOLDEN
If you’re reading this, they’re trying to silence me, you have to get the word out. Lou is every guest. The guests on the fireside are not real. THEY ARE ALL JUST LOU
There he is! Take the shot! Take the shot!
IT COMES BACK. THEME MUSIC IN THE LAST THREE SECONDS OF THE EPISODE, GOING FOR MY HEAD WITH THE STEEL CHAIR—
There wasn't any world in these worlds beyond number where I was ready for the Bag it or Tag it theme music. I can't be the person I was anymore. Many thanks, Taylor. Very cool.
Oh my godddss I guffawed in the breakroom
Why did Wizard Savory just completely snipe my childhood?
Taylor, you've knocked it out the fucking park mate. I'm still laughing.
you know eddie murphy hangs out w crazy frog
Thank you. Now am imagining that old footage of Bob Dylan and Donovan hanging out in that hotel room playing songs for each other but it’s Eddie Murphy and Crazy Frog. I have been given a gift this day.
Aabria, please, for my mental sanity, don't do a divorce arc, ok? That'd just be WAY Too real for me....
Ursulon: I got you some socks Fox: Ursulon: put them on
I can’t believe I got hit with Crazy Frog in 2023, what a good podcast
Loved the ep!! Always a good time on the Fireside Just a small request: when you finally rescue Brennan from Panama (and he’s recovered from the whole ordeal) could you ask him for his wizard hot take too? I feel like he probably has something fascinating to say.
Let me a bad person and say something super cursed: Witches are the service workers of magic casters. So to explain wicked witches are the ones who hate their jobs and way of the heart are those who are just a little more positive then the rest. Either way I think the best way to prove this is that they all have to field the spirit and human worlds complaints and try to make them both happy. And isn’t that just trying to make both customers and corporate happy?
Sneaking in axel f again at the very end made my fucking day
These fireside’s are always a treat and Taylor just elevated it by LEVELS with the music lol
Suvi is a military spouse with a deployed fella. LOL- we want to hear the 'letters' he sends back.
release the slut cut of suvi and silver!!
I hope Brennan is doing okay! (In South America of course) we miss him!
I gotta know what website Lo- I mean Craig is using for these characters!
I was not prepared for the theme song, and I. Am. Ecstatic.
"They are CIS..." "W-what? Cis what?" "Honey it just says cis." That killed me lmao.
OLD is much less interesting and fucked up than the original comic in my opinion but it’s definitely a movie about the beach that makes you old
TAYLOR (I love you)
The Axel F theme hahahaha
I think I’d want to be the wizard smile
Aww!!! S tier (pun absolutely intended). 10/10. That's so good
Also HADESTOWN MENTIONED ‼️🙏🙏🙏
‼️‼️🙏🙏
CRAZY FROG????
I'm spiraling at this theme music. Taylor you are a phenomenal human being
Is Brennan OK? Overscheduled?
Taylor is the closed thing to a Greek artist with Lo- I mean the special guest as his muse.
TAYLOR
Oooo wizard pitch, the whistleblower of the citadel, like the one guy whose like maybe we should chill could be the Wizard Stentorian, as in loud-voiced after Stentor in the Illiad. Or otherwise the one guy who talks way too much
When I say I screamed TAYLOR when 'crazy frog' started
Moderately brown sounds like how the most rascist liberal would describe a mixed person
Truly losing my mind over the idea of Eursulon spending time at a children’s library. Just absolutely wild and swoonworthy.
After hearing them talking about how the characters age, I realized that at later levels, we could fast forward to the future; because: Ame would live to be old Suvi could clone herself to stay forever young and Eursulon could have concluded his arc and gone to the spirit world, just to decide to come back for Suvi and Ame. Following the 3 of them 100 years later could be a fun way to give an epilogue
I cannot believe I got crazy frogged in December 2023
Erika's Shitty Silver Suitors 🙏
2/3 stocky!
So the group is the Wizard Savoury, Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, and the Wizard Umami
The prequel campaign for the founding of the citadel
Concept: a virtual Patreon sip and paint event
so here for this
Give the public the bag it or tag it rules Craig
Now I want to play a Wizard who’s arcane focus is a hoop and stick like that old game
A witch is the magic weird kid at school
Taylor you absolute madman that theme song is beautiful
A wizard is a university student. A warlock is a sugar baby. A sorcerer is a nepotism baby. A witch is a rural trade.
The fucking crazy frog jump scare was criminal
How are we allowing the disrespect on lunchables aka babies first charcuterie board
AAHH! hearing my name (corey) come out of the phone was SO STARTLING 🤣🤣🤣🤣💜another BANGER of a fireside
Honey it just says cis. I'm HOWLING!!!!
"Honey, it just says cis." dying
Craig has returned!!!! Lets go!!
I listened to the episode before I saw crazy frog in the description and felt legitimately a little scared when he showed up. Thanks Taylor for not throwing Venga Bus in there or I would have had a panic attack.
As someone who worked at a Six Flags when the Venga Bus was their theme song, I would fully collapse
What if the wizards used their orbs like Fushigi Magic Balls
Witches are magical stoners
Taylor, that theme music is wild. I love it
That man does not miss on some sound design and/or composition
I NEED a one shot where 3 of them play one of Lou's characters--sorry. One of the special guests. The story is the rescue mission of Lou and Brennan.
I'm not going to lie I thought job child meant like a sugar baby
Erica out here with the artificer erasures
Analog wizards! 🛠️🪄
Amazing theme song for bag it or tag it! We gotta get a VtM one-shot where Craig runs and pulls all the NPCs out of the randomizer :3
Okay now I want a Patreon exclusive mini series/adventure in which the Wizard Salt, the Wizard Saffron, and the Wizard Sardine work together to build the Wizard Savory brand
Did crazy frog always have his dick out?
Always except on certain channels which it was censored
Why is he here... why is crazy frog here... should I be afraid
I am now burdened with the knowledge of why crazy frog is here. I will never be the same
So glad they got Craig back to visit!!!!!
Brennan please come back, we're sorry. You've gotta tell us what we did wrong
We didn't treasure him enough 🐥
Great work on the music Taylor!
"honey, it just says cis" 😭😭😭
The bag it or tag it theme song!
Gael Garcial Bernal was in Bad Education, a Perdo Almoldovar film
Officially torn between thinking that the trio should mount a search for Brennan and Lou and worried that, if the entire fireside guest roster can't find them, no one can...
And after the Dropout Holiday party too! It looked like Brennan and Lou had made it back from Panama then but perhaps have been captured and sent back to the jungle to finish Romancing the Stone
A Blessing to have this come out on my birthday 🎂
OK but 🥺 👉🏻👈🏻 is Brennan actually coming back
Brennan fully deserves some time off…but we def need some proof of life. Someone get a pic of Brennan holding a newspaper so we know he’s ok
did everyone know the crazy frog had it’s meat and two veg out for the world to see or is that news only to me
This was my thought exactly! I audibly asked aloud, "have you always had your junk out?" The Crazy Frog did not answer...
This week’s included fireside image has a sinister air about him.
it’s the middle of the night and reading the description felt like a fever dream 😌
OK it's too late at night for me to start this episode but I am dying to know why crazy frog is here. Guess I will find out tomorrow
I'm out at a show right now so I can only assume there will be only respectful discussion of the crazy frog
Saving my day one pod at a time ❤️🔥
