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

T
TētēKura · January 27, 2025

Also, this episode is a gem! My soul remembered every part of this fireside

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.

The crazy frog theme music Taylor loops in is so funny and perfect

S
Shades Run · December 29, 2023

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! 😘

C
Channing Schreyer · December 28, 2023

Request for an escape from Panama one shot 😂

A
Aaron Levitz · December 28, 2023

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.)

M

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.

"I wasn't allowed to have lunchables" was the most relatable thing yet 😅

J
JME · December 15, 2023

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

C
Cur · December 15, 2023

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....

S
SomeRandomFan · December 14, 2023

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.

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.

Fancy meeting you here!

C
Caia~ 💖 · December 14, 2023

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"

L
Lyndall Cave · December 14, 2023

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?

Caywood Rider · December 15, 2023

I want to say that’s sacrilege - but then again, they are really invested in building community, and many of them live on homesteads…

J
James Genovese · December 13, 2023

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.

W
Wraith · December 13, 2023

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?

Truly losing my mind over the idea of Eursulon spending time at a children’s library. Just absolutely wild and swoonworthy.

C
Chris Kagamine · December 12, 2023

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
