Ch.4 - The Autopsy | Roll for InitiaGive

[@mamazeta906]

Of course Forrest brought his dissection kit to roleplay with 😂

[@RenegadeScienceTeacher]

I never leave home without it.

[@13shadowwolf]

​​@@RenegadeScienceTeachera few years back I played one Dr Drencrathag Kullgoth. A Hobgoblin Fighter/Alchemist that specialized in Surgery, and Herbology. I can imagine how hilarious the two of them would have been discussing this particular disease and how to deal with it. He had a personality that would be best described as Brutally Efficient.

[@dread-persephone]

I love how Jesse doesn't break character for GMing. The people he's portraying are just asking for rolls or describing the scene. It's so funny XD

[@OpinionsNoOneCaresAbout]

Ritha's bedeviled with side quests. Got that ADHD&D.

[@thatssoderek2188]

I feel like I'm learning more and more about Forrest the more I see him play Victor

[@LukeCartner]

I want forest to make that video on mold so bad now

[@FNPetersen]

1:06:05 The table wasn't "recently" used as a weapon. My headcanon is that there's definitely an old story there.

[@AshaCrone]

... it's weird but I love seeing forensics in ttrpgs, lol. That was interesting.

[@diebosseyyy4904]

Kirke was right in this. The town doctor said nobody died from the sickness, or while having the sickness, and implied nobody had died at all in the last few month since the sickness has been around (until the attack). So that means the remains in the cemetery are probably free of spores so far, and we should be burning all new bodies. Which is also why Mushroom Boy digging up a body would have been useless, and it's a good thing he instead autopsied a attack victim. (apart from - maybe everything and everyone in this town already is infected anyway, who says it's just the bread, or breadcrumbs didn't already contaminate the land? so Victor and Azad might be right, but we can't be sure, and they're definitely being careless)

[@Bearmetal13]

That's it. I couldn't hold off on getting these books anymore. All these skills and spells just seem too cool. Can't wait for more episodes.

[@RenegadeScienceTeacher]

Be sure to use the link in the description when you buy your set!

[@StaceyGreenstein]

I came here for the role playing... I'm staying for the professor's lectures.

[@SilverScreenTimeMachine]

staying for HOT WAZZ

[@DataSoong101]

So. I googled mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. Can confirm you should not look it up. Unless you're interested in parasitic protists. Then you definitely should.

[@Zarlos01]

I sadly already knew how it look. Had parasitology in college, the funny thing is that I only got grossed out by a heart with Chagas' diseases. Wasn't that ugly compared to many parasitic diseases.

[@ayymenalsabahi5440]

I love this, great background/ "turn your brain off and enjoy" content. Thank you!

[@ShabbaDabb]

I like the group dynamic a great deal

[@bra1ncramp]

I missed the live stream, but looking forward to the shenanigans this intrepid party will get into!

[@AlanTenore]

Wait...wait...is Forrest dissecting the boy??!? 🤣🤣

[@RenegadeScienceTeacher]

The best art mirrors reality.

[@Boone_Faustus]

Am I the only one who thinks Azad doesn't want the bodies inspected because he's in on the plot and doesn't want whatever it is to be exposed? He already secretly murdered Eloise so I can't say I trust him.

[@mastermachetier5594]

When I first quickly glanced at the topic I got excited thinking you were going to talk about autopsy procedures and what you have learned from doing them 🤣

[@PeaceLoveAndGuns]

Frankly, I'm disappointed that Forrest was not made to animate a mythical creature diving into se elemental force of nature again. I hoped that would become a running bit.

[@jeepspeedracer]

A food safety bacteria video would do very well Forrest.

[@q.is.tir3d]

oh my god the villagers got mushroomed!!!! holy shit!! also im lovin the rivalry btwn vindeca and azad

[@kp11studios90]

Hahaha yay! Forrest and I both enjoyed the back and forth immensely! The great thing about this table was that we had an understanding that whatever arguments our characters get into, it's not a reflection of our real thoughts and relationships. So we went to town!

[@davidhand9721]

What happened to the other character? Did the priests sacrifice her or something?

[@darkfable199]

Ginny was just a guest player and so we had used a way out for her character so she could leave

[@PeaceLoveAndGuns]

Ginny better be back! No excuses! Great work team! I'm really enjoyingbthe dynamics of a involved. Ooooh drama!

[@13shadowwolf]

I once played the perfect character to add to this group. A Hobgoblin: Fighter/Alchemist, he had a specialization in Surgery, and a decent background in Herbology. Dr Drencrathag Kullgoth was as skilled at taking apart corpses as he was at dismembering opponents. The mixture of parts of bodies and plants gave him acces to lots of stuff to experiment with for his Alchemy. Some of his more memorable quotes. "Tis more fun, when dey fight back." "Ya find lots O' interesten tings inside a body." "You don't look like you're gonna be needing that liver anymore, and I haven't eaten today." A conversation between Dr Kullgoth and Dr Victor about investigating this disease would be hilarious. Dr Kullgoth was LN, and had a rather brutally efficient personality when it came to solving problems.

[@AlanTenore]

Looked it up... 😭 But now I know...why I shouldn't have looked it up lol

[@JosefDerKaiser]

I love the energy this group has! I feel bad I didnt like Eloise now that shes gone Ginny's presence is noticably missing even though shes still in the intro, but these characters are growing into a tight knit group! (Despite their differences)

[@Cavatica]

one of the things I really loved about this game is how our characters didn't immediately all like each other, we had to grow into one another like actual people with actual differences who need to solve a problem together

[@Deioth]

I suddenly cannot help but wonder if at any point the party becomes enamored by some random nothing side NPC and now they have a pet goblin or something and derail half the campaign, just as Gygax intended. Also, OF COURSE Forrest has a real life dissection kit to prop with his RP, that we all know he has absolutely used for real lmao he could have given an anatomy lesson from memory for whatever parts he dissected through

[@len9505]

I think you, Forrest, would like to try Call of Cthulhu

[@TheRealBrit]

I 100% think that would be more his speed, not that this hasn't been great already

[@asherthedisaster4724]

Petition for forrest to play a cleric I think it would be very funny

[@RenegadeScienceTeacher]

Jesse and I already have a great idea for this. If we raise over $50k, we'll do another season so people can see it!

[@13shadowwolf]

​@@RenegadeScienceTeachernot sure I could take you seriously if you tried to pretend to be a man of faith...I would be laughing too hard the whole time. 😀

[@hannajung7512]

​@@13shadowwolfin a world were deities are demonstrably real being of faith can be very scientific in nature, in fact, in most settings there is a deity of knowledge, that encourages the pursuite of science, research and every trade that focusses on gathering information about the nature of the world, from the detective, over the alchemist, to the occultist and mage.

[@13shadowwolf]

@@hannajung7512 that's one of the interesting parts of D&D type setting, the "Science" of "Faith" because Cleric/Deity type gods often require "Faith" for spells to work; but Knowledge/Deities like Thoth required Intellectual/study for their Priest's powers to work.

[@AndrewGillard]

41:05 The Firefly reference was totally unexpected but delightful! 😸

[@Spotastic9]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@Diovaynes]

I wonder if the bread was made with Pâte Fermentée. That would explain why Kirke was able to detect that the bread has... "killed", before. You see, Pâte Fermentée is a kind of "pre-ferment", that adds extra flavor to dough. And it's basically a piece of dough you take out of your main dough, and you just leave it to ferment for baking on the next day. That means that, the bread baked in the setting could have a little bit of ALL past breads that were made, which means that, technically, all of the breads are the same bread, and that could be why the "detect item" worked to assess that the bread had... killed, someone.

[@13shadowwolf]

Lol, in one bag. Until you have tried to carry a dismembered corpse, you don't realize how akward it really is. I've been a hunter since I was a child, it's family tradition. I've packed out several different animals after field dressing, a body is very awkward to move, even with a meat pack.

[@alexhilton2259]

1:02:21 you can't cut the moldy part off!?

[@nagranoth_]

I'm so confused. When I click "Notify me" I get no notification, but I DO get a notification for future episodes...

[@geminiadastra8662]

When the episode is scheduled, youtube considers that being uploaded and will notfiy. I think after that you have to opt in for a reminder when you're able to watch it

[@werwurm]

Does anyone else think of Quincy? He also had to convince religious folks to allow an autopsy half of the time.

[@justanotherbob1621]

I would have been able to just live a peacefull life if you didnt put "Don't look up mucocutaneous leishmaniasis" on the screen...

[@AshaCrone]

I donated through the link about two weeks ago and selected the Hero reward. When are the donation rewards being sent out? I’m actually really interested in the game system and Share tabletop and would like to jump in. I’ve tried reaching out a few times but no answer.

[@ShardTabletop]

Hi Asha! First off, I'm so glad you're excited about trying out ToV on Shard! To answer your question though, we typically wait until the Tiltify campaign has concluded to fulfill the rewards. This is due to a number of reasons, the primary one being the efficiency of doing it all at once, versus doing multiple waves. But also in this case, we're still working with the cast to finalize their virtual dice! That being said, if we are able to complete the dice early, I will see if I can talk to our team about doing a mid-campaign fulfillment.

[@AshaCrone]

@@ShardTabletop Thank you. That's very reasonable, but this information is not available on the tiltify page or anywhere else I looked. It would have been nice to know so that I could plan accordingly. However, I have been very impressed by the free version of Shard I've been trying right now. Thank you!

[@ShardTabletop]

@@AshaCrone I'm sorry about the confusion. I'll talk to the R4I folks to see if we can update the Tiltify page, and am working to see if we can't do an early fulfillment wave later this month.

[@AshaCrone]

@@ShardTabletop Thank you so much! :)

[@natew.7951]

Hmm, not a fan of how long Ginny's been absent

[@RenegadeScienceTeacher]

Ginny was only able to dedicate one day to this event, so her character exited at the end of episode 2. We're super grateful for the time she was able to donate and we hope to have her back in a future season!

[@natew.7951]

Oh no, that stinks. I just hyped this to a friend and talked about how cool Ginny's character is

[@nickydaviesnsdpharms3084]

I came across this short of Ray Comfort dismissing evolution in his typical ignorant but confident way, manner. It would be a good one to respond to forrest.

[@raikurakuzami]

4:11 was a slept on joke :joy:

[@Pooknottin]

Hmm... sand coloured eyes.

[@windspast]

I'm starting to get Last of Us vibes

[@MsBunnyBrains]

[@chasekoop1122]

It feels like nobody likes Azad. I think hes delightful

[@kp11studios90]

Oh my goodness thank you! He's definitely a complex character for sure, full of flaws. Loved playing him though.

[@catbox1677]

dude i love azad! he clearly has really strong motivations and i personally adore the way his character bumps elbows w forrest's due to the same motivations but their differing values (they both want to help ppl but azad leans too far into compassion while Victor leans too far into logic). I can't wait to see his interactions w Eloise now that she;s [spoiler]

[@TheRealBrit]

​​@@catbox1677Ditto, it feels like their characters were purposefully written to be each others foils, personally I'm hoping as the story plays out we see Victor go too far and azad have to put him in place but also azad realising that without Victor's efforts they wouldn't have been able to figure things out

[@hannajung7512]

​@@kp11studios90I love him... that said I also do NOT trust him yet. But mostly because I think there is something of with that church.

[@nixhixx]

I missed something, what happened to Jenny and/or her character? If it was explained, it wasn't very clear.

[@ShilohRipka]

Quiet fool

[@Cavatica]

it was explained at the very end of the second episode.

[@diebosseyyy4904]

it wasn't very clear. she had a spiritual awakening thing where she got disintegrated but allegedly also rebuilt, so not actually harmed. Then she allegedly just ran off to a sketchy part of town where she might be helping and healing people in need, or be murdered. We only know this from the father (and Azad) so maybe they're lying? But if we trust them, last we know of her is she just walked away. Ginny Di the actual person was just a guest for this campaign, so she won't be back (except maybe she will do a cameo or return for the last episode or something idk)

[@nixhixx]

@diebosseyyy4904 I must've been asleep, both times

[@two-toneblue4872]

INITIAGIVE...?!

[@professorgremlin1425]

What happened to Ginny?

[@Cavatica]

yeah so you should probably watch the end of episode 2

[@13shadowwolf]

Doesn't the average peasant have 2-3 HP? 8 points of healing quite a lot considering their base HP.

[@JosefDerKaiser]

Healing doesn't get rid of status conditions, which I assume this is

[@AussieObiWan]

I’m so confused

[@fordajunck2899]

A little bit of sound treatment on the ceiling and/or behind some of the wall fabric would help this sound a lot more pleasant and professional.

[@Cavatica]

we were filming in an AirBNB, we did the best with what we had and I think what we pulled off was amazing, considering

[@fordajunck2899]

@@Cavatica Agreed! I missed that part about the location.

[@Cavatica]

@@fordajunck2899 yeah, it would have been great to film in a proper studio, but we worked with what we had

[@WetDoggo]

Ugh... Religious people... Standing in the way of actually helping people 😅

[@anondecepticon]

And threatening those who disagree with physical violence, also on brand.

[@seangilmore3901]

Evolutionism Is a religion! If evolution is real, why isn't it in the Bible?

[@brianfullbuster5648]

1. Evolutionism isn't a word, it's just Evolution. 2. Because the bible was written thousands of years ago by men who had no understanding of modern sciences. 3. The bible is not fact.

[@ICECREAMASSASSIN]

I'm curious regarding your hair. Sometimes it seems AWESOMELY red but in other videos it seems dark. Do you dye it either way? Tori Amos is a natural red head and she has a lyric in Take To The Sky where she sings, "I dyed my hair red today." Also I want to see you and Conan O'Brien have a hair modeling competition!

[@kp11studios90]

We have color changing lights in the background as hair light and so when it changes colors it affects our hair color as well

[@ICECREAMASSASSIN]

@@kp11studios90 Huh. Interesting.
