[@bumblerbree]

there is nothing funnier to me than ally rolling a thirteen in front of the board and saying 'nat 20' with absolutely zero shame or hesitation

No wonder Emily was thinking of platonic adult sleepovers, that's exactly what adventuring party feels like. Absolute tomfoolery, followed by deep philosophical debate

Rick's nervous, "Uh, sure" would make you THINK that he might not have a Gundam ready with less than a day's notice, but it's actually that he ALREADY had several Gundam prepared for this exact purpose

Yep, that's the tone of someone parsing the word "make" and converting it to "have ready" in his mind.

I love how excited Lou gets whenever there's a Black NPC.

[@GardensAndGames]

Seeing Ally sitting behind the DM screen is like seeing a little boy wear his dad's dress clothes. I'd put money on it that Ally pointing at Siobhan and saying "you're dead," was a subconscious callback to Ruby getting ambushed during A Crown of Candy.

After seeing both Ally and Siobhan behind the DM screen, I have a mighty need to have each of them DM a season.

[@devenseltzer6618]

it'd be so great to see each of the intrepid heroes DM on D20. Murph obviously has a lot of DMing experience but even if it's just like 6 one-shots where each episode is a different DM leading the session, i think it'd be super neat to see each of their DMing style

[@manjuxbun15]

I forget which D20 YT vid it was posted under, but somebody commented something similar (IE wishing for each Intrepid Hero to GM a season), annnndddd the official D20 YT channel replied that they DID offer the chance to all of them but that something along the lines of it’s a lot of responsibility/a huge time commitment and they all have their own independent endeavors to take into consideration. Seriously I wish I could remember which vid it was, but I just remember being heartbroken reading that reply 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

I think that Caldwell was the one who told Emily and Murphy that frog assholes are called vents.

[@IRFine]

The craziest part is that the following episode of Adventuring Party managed to somehow be even more chaotic. “The corn is high and so is the thermometer” “sweatin’ like a coke bottle at a barbecue, Jack. I’ll tell you that right now” lives rent free in my head.

[@yasminalong2324]

the first two clips are naddpod related. Caldwell talked about a frogs asshole being a vent on an episode of C3, and on a dungeon court episode they talked a lot about bird-lesque, which is similar to a bird sex show.
