most DMs: the boss you’re fighting is a manticore, or an owlbear! use a little strategy and you can defeat it :)
anthony burch: the boss is literally me from high school, except i can shoot death beams out of my eyes. you can defeat me by stabbing me with my own mall katana, unboxing my collectable anime figures, or googling my old fanfiction.net account. good luck, motherfuckers.
i’m sorry but literally no other piece of media will ever pull off a time travel stunt as based as the one dungeons and daddies just did.
i’m serious. no more marvel, no more doctor whomever the fuck, just four chucklefucks going behind the DM’s back to record their own time travel shenanigans, splice them into the 2nd goddamn episode of the show, and reupload the episode to a half dozen platforms simultaneously without telling the DM jack shit. fucking legendary.
Grant is a sniper by trade because even though he enjoys violence he still tries to keep himself as far away from it as possible. To try and fake/retain as much normalcy as he can
so cool to see my boy taylor swift trending #1 here on tumblr the day after he discovered his demon ancestry and broke out of fake fbi prison. go off king!
{Image Desriptions: two pictures, the first is of a tall, thin, young blonde lady wearing a long light green dress. She’s smiling at the camera, she’s barefoot and is wearing a dark green fannypack. Off to her side her name, Canary, is written in green and white. The second image is of the Brooklyn 99 meme of Rosa Diaz holding a puppy. The puppy’s head is replaced by The head of Canary from the previous picture. The text has been edited to say “I have only had canary for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself”
Today’s episode was brilliant, love Henry’s sense that the boys might get weapons sfhsgvchfcds side note i would die for Canary.
{ Image descriptions: Two images, the first is of Daryl Wilson, a tall medium toned man with curly brown hair and a matching beard, talking to Glenn close, who is facing away from the viewer, he’s shorter and has dark black hair. In the background are Lark and Sparrow Oak stacked one on top of the other in a trench coat. They’re young boys with dirty blonde curly hair grinning devilishly at Darryl while he says “Should we arm the lord of chaos” the second image is of Henry Oak, a tall, pale, blond man wearing a lime green shirt and khakis. He looks very worried and he’s shivering, saying “oh God-.” Behind him is a cloud of smoke at his feet to represent Ron being dragged behind him. In front of him is Canary, a shorter woman who shares similar colors, she looks much more care free}
Anthony Burch: *gives us a description of what the canonical older versions of Lark and Sparrow look like and how they’re nothing like what my personal interpretation of the characters looked like in my head*
Thinking. About the importance of Lark Oak. In a way he’s the black sheep out of all the kids, he’s literally the only one who continues to resent his father even after how much he’s been trying to reconnect with his son, and how Willy Stampler took advantage of that? Of that anger of not being the chosen hero to summon the doodler?? Oof
Like no other kid but Lark could have caused the apocalypse it always had to be him, that’s been his goal since the very early episodes of the podcast and that didn’t change even after his father tried to have a heart to heart with him just like he did with Sparrow. His motivations were always sort of disconnected from all the other kids; they all wanted to get home and see their moms again but Lark still kept his focus in being the most powerful kid in the world despite being reminded of what his mom might think.
Also the fact that he’s the only one who grew up who didn’t have a kid of his own. And it’s never mentioned or explicitly stated but I think he’s sort of the leader of the group when they grow up; It wouldn’t be too surprising that the rest would have to rely on him (just like they relied on him to drive the van when they were kids), like he doesn’t seem to have emotional attachments of his own other than his brother and nephew since he isn’t shown to have a spouse or a kid of his own, and possibly his guilt over causing the apocalypse led him to become even more focused on trying to make things right. The way he’s three steps ahead of his brother in terms of doing what he can to protect his nephew is even more telling of his position as a leader as someone who seems on top of things at least. Yeah I don’t know I just think Lark Oak is extremely good even if he might think otherwise
Should I make my dnd podcast schedule even more insane and jump on NADDPOD when campaign 3 starts? Or should I wait until I actually catch up with Dimension 20 and/or CR C1 so as not to lose my everloving mind?
The idea of a dnd podcast /actual play show schedule tickled me so here you go (warning, this kind of turned into an analysis of my podcast listening habits and preferences ):
NADDPOD: caught up (singular in this distinction so you know I love it)
Adventure Zone: finished balance and amnesty, fell off with graduation, picked up with ethersea, but a bit behind (first dnd podcast I ever listened to)
Dungeons and Daddies: listened to about half, on hiatus listener (the Glenn prison arc was getting a bit intense for me, but I definitely still intend on finishing it since I really enjoy the show)
D20: finished FH S1&2, EftBK, TH, TUC S1, M&M. Halfway through CoC, TUC S2, PoL. Currently watching the Seven (I’m a big fan of D20, but I sometimes get bogged down by the longer seasons. I tend to binge them when I’m in the mood or when a new season has started. Through no fault of their own, the remote seasons aren’t as appealing to me)
Critical Role: watched around 25 episodes of C1 and C2 respectively (liked it well enough, definitely enjoyed the inter-party relationships, but the format isn’t for me. Feels like an actual dnd game, which I know is the appeal for a lot of folks, but I have enough of that in my real life ya know?)
Bonus Round/Improv Comedy Podcasts!
Mission to Zyxx: close to caught up, but I like to hoard the eps a bit, especially since this is their last season
Hello from the Magic Tavern: well into the third season (how is anyone caught up with this behemoth of a show?!)
In conclusion: god, I consume a lot of dnd content
