This is the second time I've listened to this episode and I keep gigglean out of control every time, from that semaphore hand signaling thing description.

i cannot wait to see gow this turns out *insert rupaul opera glasses meme*
Nah, man - the issue is letting the poorly trained Malinois out and about to bite people. A well-trained dog isn't going to get "riled up" and bite people just because other dogs are around. Maybe the other player wouldn't bring their pups, but that's -also- on the DM to handle. Punish that DM.
The gauntlet story DM to party host metaphor holds up. It's like if you have a party and only one of your guests is vegan, so there's only one vegan dish that's meant entirely for them. You don't put a sign on it, pay no attention to who takes from it, and only told the vegan it was their dish. When that ends up in the person who can only eat one dish at the table getting mad at someone for taking another serving of that dish without asking, that is on you.
these dudes are funny!
You go into the bathroom. There are three seashells. there is no explanation , and everyone laughs at you for not knowing what they're for.
Best Episode
I know you guys probably got a lot of this back when the episode came out, but YOU FORGOT TO MAKE HENRY ROLL AT DISADVANTAGE DUE TO HIS EXHAUSTION WHEN HE ROLLED THAT NAT 20 PERCEPTION CHECK. Love you guys.
Mew-isiana Purchase
listening to this for the first time in 2025. Love these guys
Caldwell shouting out one of my favorite bands!!! TWRP is amazing, and I love every album.
TIP: in pathfinder the magus is a half caster gish, they are basically PF's equivalent to eldritch knight but built out into a full class.
1. try yelping. the dogs will stop if they think they're hurting a person. 2. my dogs don't hump,but they have a bark that echoes on its own, and my cat-obsessed friend apparently gets a headache when they bark. I just deal with keeping the dogs quiet so it's not a problem. 3. there is no cure for lethal dog farts
pretty crazy for a group of people who adore something now that they weren't totally certain of prior to playing it to prematurely judge a game system that they know almost nothing about
using generative AI or LLMs makes you a gigantic loser
I feel like the way to solve forgetting about Legendary Actions, to satisfy both Caldwell's desire for anime and Murph's desire for fairness, is to not use them until either the next big wollop from the players or the monster's next turn. THEN, stage them entering their "ultimate form", be it an actual physical transformation or some kind of roar from rage. Only then use Legendary Actions. That way, it doesn't feel like it's out of nowhere or like the first few rounds the DM was holding back.
1:14:40 "people who think they know who their daddy is are often more wrong than people who know that they don't know who their daddy is" amazing quote
I do think the anti-crit ability is cool as an ability a deity of Fortune would grant (not Luck; the two are related, but Fortune is based in Fate instead of Chance) to their Cleric or Paladin as an optional ability - you just rolled a crit fail or success? you may choose to reroll and instead hand that nat 1 or nat 20 to another character OR keep it to yourself.
Jake and Murph absolutely killing it with the RP at the end of this one. Fourth re-listen, and my boy Hardwon gets me every time.
