[@featherweight]

I'm not sorry.

[@VillainousVillainessViridi]

Don't be man, you did great!

[@Snowy123]

featherweight I just read ‘I’m not Canadian’

[@Winterpandacookies]

Good

[@Liz-Istrata]

was there a rakdos costume made for Molander as well?

[@laxor0519]

The goddamn zardoz reference is what killed me.

[@Tengila]

"Okay, but first: no animals on stage, because that's cruel." I legit had to pause the video there for a couple of minutes, I laughed so hard.

[@pbtenchi]

This just popped into my head as I was listening Rin: "I'm extremely impressed with your dedication to your job." Avenir: "Thank you, so am I."

[@jonahcarver7198]

Rinn is flirting HARD there. The moment I heard "food poisoning" I knew exactly where this was heading.

[@Snowy123]

It’s funny that when molander goes home to see his grandma they finally embrace the tree

[@RedZoneMTG]

I just gotta say that I absolutely love this series. Kathleen and crew is crushing it!

[@EmberNeo96]

Avenir gettin' it on! Love the costumes that showed up in the recent episodes. These Rakdos ones are definitely a surprise, to be sure. But a welcome one.

[@mekokishude3980]

"Make a walking with grace check" XD

[@Fourleggedfreak]

1:00:56 Kathleen: i'm not much of a singer Also Kathleen: breaks into the most epic song 😂❤👏👏👏🫰🏻🫰🏻🫰🏻 thanks for bringing me joy today fam ❤

[@jacoblong1473]

Me: Cam's an absolute lucksack in this performance scene Also me playing D&D: yo dude shoot me so I can catch that arrow with my +3 dex My d20: 1

[@BiscuitsOfBagEnd]

Me: I think I'll watch Bylaw & Order with lunch Bylaw & Order: 3% human dandruff! 😂

[@TheJaggedHero]

What do I need to do to see Molander's costume?

[@Winterpandacookies]

Commission fanart 😉

[@PavarottiAardvark]

Are there LRR cosplaers? I feel that there needs to be LRR cosplayers.....

[@Winterpandacookies]

@@PavarottiAardvark there has to be seeing as how there've been an Agatha Fisty and Burlap cosplay.

[@Haights]

@@Winterpandacookies And don't forget the Threej!

[@sandmanlives3]

1:39:02 Capri Sun?! 😂 Excellent, as always. Thank you.

[@garlandilluviel3650]

I have listened to this series ones of times (because apparently Ravnica is my happy place [and if you were ever to revisit I'd not be disappointed]) and am delighted each time. And still, "no one knows what the Selesnya... D O E S !"

[@naomihopper4236]

"Avenir, you look AWESOME" "Damn right."

[@WindyDelcarlo]

Ohhh The Boros Legion don't have a sense of humor, they just want to ruin your day, The Golgari are weird, and I don't like mushrooms, So I hope they stay far away, The Simic might get you mixed up with a fish, Or a snake ooor some bird, And the Azorius only care about, Obeying the laws of the written wooord. Oh, but Rakdos is great, the cult's where it's at If you're a roustabout or a hackrobat, And if Rakdos himself comes to stop the show, The doors are locked, you've got nowhere to go! Oh, The Dimir pretend they don't exist, That joke is boring and old, The Orzhov only want your devotion, Your life and your ghost and your gold, The Gruul are a bunch of angry little nomads, Who spend too much time with piiigs, The Izzet are only tolerable, If you're nowhere close to a lightning rig! Oh, but Rakdos is great, the cult's where it's at If you're a roustabout or a hackrobat, And if Rakdos himself comes to stop the show, The doors are locked, you've got nowhere to go! And nobody knows, What the Selesnya.... Doeeeees.

[@SH4D0WC4T5]

a circus blessing, "May the net always find you" from the book "A Son of the Circus"

[@JakobLogan]

That song was awesome

[@pyredynasty]

Life is the best participation ribbon.

[@kilo3989]

Kathleen's voice work is absolutely delightful :D

[@kilo3989]

"What would a tree do? .... Burn down." "What would a tree do? ....... Not throw up."

[@colbynelson2760]

This was great! I was wondering how you guys would handle the Rakdos, and this is better than anything I could’ve imagined! Those costumes were grand, and the show itself! 😍 Spoilers below. That black and blue reporter is totally a Dimir agent, calling it now. I’m excited to see how you’ll get their signature. Cam- That was fantastic, I’m so proud of ya you Azorius Rogue! That flip, the tightrope, that romance ;), you’re really coming into your own as a character. I wonder if Kathleen would’ve let ya used that cunning action to dash or disengage from the halberds. Ian- Clever use of Silent Image, though I’d ask what exactly is going on before trying to make a last minute change. If it was the wheel I’d see them being okay with it, but this rope act, yeah nope, sorry man. Ben- Holy smokes that was awesome dude! I’m proud of ya for remembering that ability again, and having the know how to understand that that was a bad time to use it. Good improve, and I’m glad you’re rolling in the hitpoints. Something that would’ve been cool would be asking if that bonus action disengage you get as a goblin or the action surge could help out in any way. Surge- I missed ya man, we all did. It would’ve been so cool to see Molander transform into an animal onstage or something magical like that. But oh well.

[@TheRealPentigan]

Molander transforming into an animal so he can hide out in the green room with Valencia :P

[@sankethbhaskar4236]

Man I wanted Rin and Avenir to be Dimir agents, because it would make sense why he's a rogue and why he knows a Rakdos.

[@remyjette9614]

Nog in the aerial show is basically left shark

[@nathfrancois5507]

I really loved your circus episode. There as a lot of variety in the acts. I was a little confused by the wheel of death: if it's supposed to be somewhat like a German wheel, the performer shouldn't be running in it so much as moving their body around the bars. You can totally have most of your body outside the wheel for some time. Also, not moving for some entire spins is totally a thing you can do in German wheel). But I'm really glad Nog found interesting ways to dodge (or try to dodge) anyway. Avenir's act on the tightrope was really super cool. Great work with the descriptions. I just have one small regret : I'm imagining his pole looked pretty much like the one on the card art from Hackrobat, so, as a final flourish, I wish he could have done some contact staff (or throwing staff) move with it. Staffs with bladed circles at both ends are called "dragon staffs" in circus. You can often see them in juggling conventions, although most serious performers don't use them : they look super cool, but there are some tricks you just can't do properly with them. Also, unrelated, but I totally squeed when Avenir and Ryn went away to smooch.

[@bendertusepaki8995]

Wow. Those costumes are hilarious! As an audio-only listener, can’t believe I missed them the first time around!

[@eDRoaCH]

OMG Nog finally killed Molander after last session

[@Grimwear]

I know that James isn't a fan of DnD but I wish that he came on as a cameo to replace Serge for the session as a Rakdos who just runs rampant and messes everything up.

[@EnglishPersonAnon]

Shame, he was very watchable in Temple of the Lava Bears.

[@Rolatii]

I am so sad that Serge wasn't here for those glorious costumes.

[@ArchRequiemD]

I love how Nog's costume made him into Sean Connery from Zardoz.

[@D1g1talSqu1d]

32:40 you can see it click in ben's mind that he knows what's gonna happen

[@Radiodragonofdoom]

I was not expecting a Zardoz reference in this campaign 😂

[@Winterpandacookies]

How is Enor the one that ends up being a coward. I thought Avenir's character was supposed to be one!

[@nafnaf505]

GDI Featherweight. I see what you did with Nog's Rakdos costume. Also, now I can't help but imagine him with a Sean Connery accent.

[@hermatic1]

Again already watched the vod. But wanted to watch it again here to help with lrr figures etc. Plus twas a funny/enjoyable episode as expected. Each of you peeps are individually great role players. Regards. P.s. enor's dream of fantastic sausages is a worthy one.

[@catlover0000]

Avenir has a girlfriend!

[@Hotrob_J]

This was a particularly good one

[@LadyLunarSatine]

My god this is such a treasure. And we've still got three more!

[@dancook6114]

I havent seen any dice friends until this one autoplayed while i wasnt paying attention after watching ttc and i have to say, kathleen is a great dm. Her descriptions are great and her npcs are memorable

[@th3TwistedLight]

This was the best circus performance in my life :O

[@tommagennis]

“It’s not Porn because it’s just for me”

[@jamescampbell2353]

Sounds appropriate given the setting

[@nathanlonghair]

Fantastic, end to end

[@FrankiePeanuts]

I'd imagine Molander would have learned not to hug Rakdos cultists pretty quickly given how often he'd hurt himself on all the spikes and other pointy bits the Rakdos tend to wear.

[@frenchcookie42]

Holy fuck that song slapped!!! I'd buy that mp3 for real for real.

[@megadog9305]

Please tell me the Molander costume that would have been prepared in advance is available somewhere.

[@Winterpandacookies]

Kathleen said after the stream that Featherweight didn't prepare one since he was told in advance that Serge will be on vacation during this episode.

[@megadog9305]

@@Winterpandacookies Aww man...

[@axtonjedi]

Serge! Noooooooo! Hope he enjoys the vacation though!

[@Reboundary]

Somehow I kept thinking it was Always Look On the Bright Side of Life until the chorus of the second song.

[@LithosAndros]

Nice Klingon reference with the Par'Mach.

[@pauljohnson3317]

What an amazing scenario!!!!

[@violetblight69]

I'm using "I picture Vitu-Ghazi" now, that's amazing

[@LadyBernkastel92]

I just got into dice friends, and I have loved a lot of it so far, but this campaign, and especially this episode have been the highlight for me so far. I do wish Moe had been here for it, but the care and thought Kathleen has put into making each guild of ravnica memorable, and the glee with which a rakdos circus was performed have been amazing. Also as a side note, Ian has forever ruined/improved how I think ravnican vedalkens sound

[@chifii]

The next highlights reel is gonna be 45 minutes long b/c of this episode.

[@schonlingg.wunderbar2985]

Why is there a skull, where Serge should be?

[@Winterpandacookies]

To keep Ben company.

[@Zara-Bari]

Don't even worry about it.

[@Gabriel-qh4yx]

The little mermaid took a weird turn

[@Kifford]

I want that song on an MP3.

[@ZhangHe2369]

58:30 Yep, left right left then both sides @ 46:49. Those where the exact instructions.

[@ff0213]

40:15 Cam just locking in that Audience Participation #timewarp

[@_Max_Fan]

So when is Nog starting a matchmaking service?

[@LadyLunarSatine]

Possibly working up a side hustle with the Izzet for some COOL TECHNOLOGY(tm).

[@octochan]

plz explain the 'walking with grace check' at 1:53:06

[@piisnotthree]

I took that to mean walking with an erection, so he had to roll to compose/calm himself.

[@octochan]

@@piisnotthree sounds legit

[@fenixmeaney6170]

What would a tree do when faced with fire? Does backflip

[@dracoelynne]

awww, we don't get to see what Moander would have worn??

[@Tr1sh4Lynn]

I just realized something: If they had stopped at "Sausage + Bun", would they also have gotten the food poisoning, too? And how would that have affected their circus performance?

[@KumaKaori]

55:03, Ben, you ... technically were warned which directions the spikes were coming from before you started XD. oh well, made for a more amusing show! 58:32. XD!!!! Oof, Nog. Oof.

[@chrisrebert9271]

14:10 And 1 point of Inspiration to Ian! Wait, wrong RPG system...

[@cryomancer20x68]

I expected even more whips and chains from Rakdos.

[@clockworkcthulhu8195]

so one question remains do Molander has a costume?

[@darshaddkyre]

59:42 - the first song

[@DavidJohnson-mo7fq]

I wanna join the cult of Rakdos. They sound fun.

[@haj_endot]

avenir should have grabbed cider cuz y'all know what apples make you better at

[@MyCaptainPugwash]

Wait isnt Molander a evil god of decay from Forgotten Realms??????

[@LadyLunarSatine]

That's Moander; no L.

[@TigerGuy786]

Still think Avenir is dimir... we shall see how that turns out. Haven’t disproven it yet that I can remember so there’s hope

[@KraestBurns]

Cam has posted (fairly aggressively) to Twitter that he’s not. Pretty sure he’s getting tired of the comments on every episode of this campaign being 90% about him being dimir.

[@TigerGuy786]

@@KraestBurns I did not know that as I don;t follow his twitter. Thank you for informing me.

[@snirky]

Who's the person complaining about Nog and Valencia?

[@nathfrancois5507]

She's the mother from the Krovog bus when they went to the Cardinia mountains to meet the Gruul on episode 4. Nog actively encouraged her kids to do mischief like climb in the luggage rack, and was generally more friendly with them than she liked. When she berated him, he told her his name was Blaznord so he would get blamed instead of him.

[@snirky]

@@nathfrancois5507 Cheers!

[@lightfut]

But Nog actually dodged correctly on the third set of spikes! Argh!

[@leeshajoi]

Are hackrobats a thing in Homestuck? Because I feel like they should be.

[@austinwanner134]

Nice nails Ben

[@Snowy123]

No serge? :(
