D&D PSA: Thunder damage and Lightning damage are not the same thing. Second PSA: Don't tell these guys that during a greenscreen cutaway or they'll mock you for knowing such a pedantic difference during the cutaway for being a nerd. Third PSA: and you'll deserve it, ya nerd.

I'm glad he forgot. At least it meant the UwU dragon had less green screen time😂

[@paullatham8486]

Yeah I also keep trying to forget about the uWu dragon... 😂

[@maxa.9135]

As Bob's main weapon has shifted so much from the shortsword to the Bow, I think at his level he should get a better bow than the basic one, possibly even one with a story arc behind it like Bodger's hammer. That would be a cool reward for the upcoming firegiant mission (e.g. a +2 Bow with firedamage)

When I watched the first episode for 'Misfits', I was looking at Rob holding the laptop on the top edge of the wood DM screen. First thing I thought was how precarious that was. How he had to hold on to it so it wouldn't fall. Seeing the preview for the next episode of NPC D&D, it definitely came down, but saved from the impact on a wooden table by the miniatures, etc. Rob, would you be able to get a minature table, four-legged footstool or something to hold up your laptop so you can keep it (secret, keep it) safe and stable while you interact with the 3D miniature map, or need to get something, without having to put the laptop down?
