[@ZebMeierWatz]

"where did you get that?" Sid: "found it" 🤣🤣🤣

[@househikephotography]

I for one am really glad that we did a deep dive into the paintings and Golarian Lore/History. Sooo cool!!! 😊

[@aridien9501]

Portland is excited to see you too Kate.

[@Nillockaroh]

You guys mentioned the idea of playing as a centaur, it appears in May of this year Paizo is releasing the Howl of the Wild book which includes six new ancestries including the centaur. Very excited for that to be released!

[@jasonkeeley7426]

We sure are! Playable centaurs, minotaurs, merfolk, and more! (and we have addressed the weirdness with centaur traits)

[@cladvahd6155]

Yoooooooo, something to look forward to. What we already have is so neat [been lately properly diving into PF and having a blast] can't wait to see what lovely things the great people at Paizo have worked out for that.

[@117Arkantos]

Per what Troy said about Dimensional Assault triggering an AOO, it doesn't have a Somatic component, just Verbal, so it does not provoke most Reactive Strike or AOO features.

[@NerdishNature]

You know it just hit me. I’ve been listening to you guys since end of 2016 and you all, the naish, were and are part of a significant stretch of my life. So many hours of fun and drama. I think I said it before but thank you. Also I remember Troy talking about his dream of publishing his own TV show and well I be damned look where we are. This is even better. To the first decade ❤

[@crushingit5128]

I've listened and almost repeatedly gave up the GCN for several years now because some of their Campaigns are just too serious (e.g: all the call of the Cthulhu). I personally wanna laugh along with a good story, not be in dread for 90 minutes daily. Besides this campaign, new game who dis,and side sesh s2 are there any other "fun" campaigns. I wanna pay and support these guys but I'm not finding too much content that fits my preference.

[@Saluno375]

Wow, I didn't realize this either but I think I started listening towards the end of 2016, so a full decade really isn't far off. An era of prime content! I'll celebrate it here, dreaming of an EU tour ;)

[@TheGlassCannon]

Blood of the Wild is a BLAST. That comes out every Monday for subscribers.

[@Kopfschuss451]

Also, Legacy of the Ancients

[@sharxboy]

@@crushingit5128 Listen to Blood of the Wild, it is different and awesome!!!!

[@Bl4kAce]

It's truly a perfect joke for the Magus to have a sentient weapon because in PF1e there was an archetype for the Magus called the "Bladebound," which gives the Magus a sentient weapon that scales with them as they level up. Fingers crossed that Sydney gets to keep her sentient katana that, for sure, also knows Howie the greensting scorpion.

[@jrlonergan6773]

I believe Troy played a Bladebound magus in season one of one of the Patreon shows

[@PocketCabal]

All this talk about Count Ranalc and it's killing me that none of the players seem to know ooc about his lore adjacency to a certain other adventure path. The description of the barrier around Nighthold in an earlier episode sent me spiraling. Love the show!

[@luminousmage]

I’m sure they looked it up at the end of the session but a +1 rune is a Level 2 item and while that’s not unusual to see on a Level 2 character, Sydney’s starting wealth should have been 30 gp so she wouldn’t have been able to afford such a rune normally as +1 runes cost 35 gp unless it was “a gift” as she said or she was somehow allowed to get extra wealth from Lucky’s leftover treasure.

[@upsidely]

Good call on the circumstance bonus for Zephyr. Old Troy would have given a penalty and said jumping and attacking is more difficult 😂

[@thatJoshieJosh]

I know the Crit Fails are a GCP special sauce, but for what it's worth I don't think such effects should affect Zephyr's second strike in a Flurry of Blows, only after. That's a single action that happens all at once - the rules tell you to combine the damage from both strikes before applying resistances/weaknesses because it's supposed to be a rapid-fire succession. I would rule the fumble on the first strike just resembles an effect from the entire action, the results of which resolve after both strikes finish.

[@kwagmeijer26]

I believe centaurs are playable from 3rd part supplements, but also they are being officially published by Paizo in May with the book "Howl of the Wild"

[@dmeep]

I want to be as happy as Kate is on the thumbnail. What is your secret Kate? rolling a nat 20? bottle caps? North Foundry dice? hitting the like button? subscribing to the channel? purchasing GCN merch in their store?

[@anorak78]

Laughing at Brother Ramius for once again doing more harm healing than the monsters attacking

[@FleshyInterloper]

The anti-cleric strikes again

[@TheGlassCannon]

All of the above.

[@Concret3Cowboy]

It’s actually her raging at a natural 2 lol

[@Dankmex]

I was coming here to say that 😂 That face is concealing a burning rage, not an expression of happiness​@@Concret3Cowboy

[@Baraz_Red]

For the tour, Vancouver is rather unique, and beautiful in the summer. The city services and the people keep it super clean !

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

Love that Buggles is a passionate art critic.

[@andymorgan688]

As a Vancouverite I am so excited that I finally Get to see my favourite podcast after years of listening. Really looking forward to this and I’m so happy that you guys are coming!!

[@TheGlassCannon]

We can't wait!

[@TitoWinA]

I could listen to this session forever, hearing the thoughts and theories of all the players and what they could be possibly dealing with, this discussion of the evidence should happen more! Also poor kate, the dice aren’t on her side lately😂

[@austinemmer5339]

Quadruped Poppet is as close to centaur as I'll ever need to get... Sounds adorable.

[@upsidely]

Can we get Kate playing a creepy spider poppet

[@tylercomstock1893]

When you visit Portland, I recommend sticking to the east side and eating at Sivalai Thai.

[@BenGreen1980]

the gang is SHOCKED a level 2 character has a level 2 item.

[@ProfOnlyCrit]

Yeah, their reaction to that really caught me -2AC.

[@khpa3665]

As soon as Troy said a creature jumped out from behind the books, I immediately assumed it would be an orangutan. Also, Brother Ramius entering the library gave me serious Belle in Beauty and the Beast vibes.

[@JacksonOwex]

On Matt's question about PLAYING a Centaur, technically not yet but as Joe said you could throw one together, BUT in... the middle-ish part of the year Howl of the Wild will have playable Centaurs AND Minotaurs!

[@JacksonOwex]

Is Matthew okay with "Matt", or does he prefer "Matthew"? Since I typed that comment and put "Matt" I've had a small bit of... weirdness about it! 😆

[@Furious_Ant]

I've been relistening to Giantslayer, and it's been said he prefers Matthew.

[@surginspurgeon74]

So happy I found this show and podcast to watch/listen to! You guys have became my favorite thing to listen to while at work! Always give me a good laugh! Can’t wait to see you guys in Naishville!

[@TheGlassCannon]

Welcome aboard!

[@kwagmeijer26]

I appreciate Troy avoiding AoOs despite probably knowing the party doesn't have any, it's good DMing from the monster perspective.

[@BlueSapphyre]

Another fun thing to do as a DM, is allow monsters to have recall knowledge checks on the PCs, so figure out what like spells they should be casting or whatnot.

[@AJBernard]

I missed the hats on the store... I've been checking for them again for a bit, but haven't seen any more. Would love to buy a GCP hat! I really appreciate you all. thank you for doing what you do, the way you do it. Please never stop.

[@TheGlassCannon]

They're coming back! Likely, March 18th!

[@AJBernard]

@@TheGlassCannon Excellent! I'll pick one up then!

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

We got to see Kate walk a mile in Joe's shoes/dice

[@yurchakt]

In Vancouver, make sure you take in the VanDusen Garden and then grab a Japadog for lunch.

[@kasperx777]

So excited for KC. For BBQ I suggest KC Joes, which started out of a gas station, trust me it's a KC experience. For museums, the WW1 history museum is unreal good. Both the negro league baseball museum and the jazz museum are both excellent as well

[@EldritchEye64]

Skid, as a long-time member of both the HEI Network and the VFA, I am always curious to ask other members what their favorite version of Dekkar's hit sensation Empty Bottle is? Personally, I have always been a huge fan of MT BTL 3.0, LaRue really brings a new voice to the urban plight. Also, RIP Matt Newman. He was like a son to T. Amato, a second-favorite, but still a son.

[@snuzzlebumble]

Poor Kate, I feel like the dice are picking on her specifically!

[@spazoman]

You guys have to go to Kansas City Joes and Boulevard Brewery

[@amandareynolds5952]

Lol it's rare to get a wholesome dad joke out of Troy. Amazing 😂

[@ArticleNoun]

Love this episode!

[@Ren_Brands]

Great episode everyone was amazing.

[@jellroberts9249]

I thought fan crits were only for natural 20s?

[@Kevlar-78]

Someone please make an animated gif of Troy at 1:28:39 please and thanks. We all need this……. 😂😂

[@ZeroScore]

Joe's got family in Missouri!? Or the gross Kansas side of KC? I wish I could attend, it's only like two hours away...but shoutout to Joe as my favorite of this episode (and only this episode. I usually don't trust you, Bread Boi)

[@ApolloRacer]

Zephyr: "Check THIS out!" *jumps* >CLONK!

[@imvannier]

i need to hear troy releasing streams of invective (also thanks Matthew I learned a new word)

[@hollyweaver7292]

I love this theme music. Not just because the show is starting, it’s great music. I insist you get Troy a tie dyed keeping it weird T-shirt in Austin. Don’t scratch the swimming holes off so quick- it could be in the 90’s in April.

[@keegs5632]

Troy, if you want snow in May, come over to Alberta

[@ericclark9770]

Tuned in for the campaign - staying for Sydney doing math...

[@paralysekid]

Btw Troy do you consider that the APs are usually balanced around a 4 people party (as far as I know) and that maybe some encounters are therefore a little bit easier for you guys because this group has 5?

[@lesfibresfantastiques7265]

In 2025, you should come to Montreal!I would love it!

[@EvanSkwidLanglinais]

Loving the cough syrup purple!

[@h0ckey87]

Lots of opportunity for "Skid's nerd out" jingle

[@NakedKabukiDancers]

He’s a splainer

[@evilkep7390]

It might be cold... 😂😂 Sydney, it doesn't get cold here.

[@paulfoth]

What a great "What is going on?!" opening discussion! Does Troy's mention of Sarah Palmer's vision at the beginning of Twin Peaks mean that the gang is going to face something like what Sarah has become years later, in Twin Peaks: The Return? Because yikes.

[@Hoodoojuju82]

Love you guys, thanks for making awesome shit.

[@TheGlassCannon]

Thank you for watching!

[@fingerdrop]

I would just like to call out Kate’s Atlanta Housewives reference.

[@calbarog]

I've never been first to anything! #1 fan right here!

[@calbarog]

Can't wait for that Austin show!

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

@@calbarog Take em out for some good BBQ!!

[@nathandunn1851]

When you hit KC, KC Joes is where its at for BBQ and for Matthew they have the portabella Z man its vegetarian friendly. avoid the power and light district its overpriced garbage. The Nelson Atkins is an amazing museum. there are some decent bars y'all might like Harry's or Kelly's in Westport unless its the weekend and then Westport's a nightmare to deal with. Boulevards the big brewery from here they have pretty good beer.

[@DaSkwire]

If Sydney's uncle Bill fights Skid's uncle Bill in order to open for the GCP, then does that mean they're competing for... ...Top Billing? 😎

[@LiveRaidei]

Fair warning, if you’re someone who doesn’t like hot weather, Austin is going to be… an experience…

[@enterprisar863]

I am curious if the crew read that the CEO ArrowHead studio’s, creators of Helldivers 2, mentioned they have a game master (real title) that acts like a Dungeon Master to specifically change events in the game to player actions. The CEO mentioned that they crafted helldivers 2 with D&D in mind. That would be interesting if the CEO or game master came on the pod

[@nickolasbelliveau7095]

Zephyr stays being confused

[@Zib118]

You never think of how hard it may be for a centaur to find seating in civilization until you have one in your party. It looks silly

[@Harthal87]

Please please let it be canon that Asta's sword talks with a Boston accent like Howie the scorpion from Giantslayer. And only Asta can hear it.

[@Baraz_Red]

I guess one could say it was a bookworm of sorts ...

[@augrad0653]

Man I wanted Kate to drop the people's elbow when she jumped...

[@SSmilZZ1313]

+1 potency runes are a level 2 item. All martial characters should have them on their weapons now. The math of the game is build around level two characters having them. Your characters should have bought them while in Seven Arches upon turning level 2.

[@Baraz_Red]

And it is just a Fundamental Rune (+1 to hit) which is probably not very expensive (only 35 Gold I believe).

[@BlueSapphyre]

Looking through the adventure, I don't think the PCs would even have the money to buy +1 runes. There's no +1 weapon drops or enough treasure drops to fund getting martials their +1s yet.

[@cursed_walrus]

​@@Baraz_Redin 2e 35g is HUGE

[@thorinbane]

Yes, but this also highlights my issue with mandatory treasure in 4e and now pf2. Esp when an ap may not have those items and your GM doesn't have magic hawkers on every corner.

[@Baraz_Red]

@@thorinbane I agree, but the GM can make adaptations so that magic items are not so prevalent nor necessary. Still, I do prefer 5e for that aspect.

[@teresaa6150]

I promise I tried to Google it first.. but how is troy changing the color of the room?

[@aaronsmith3375]

+1 Weapon Potency Rune is a 2nd Level Item. The entire party should have them before completing the chapter; See also "Alternate Bonus Progression" for roughly when the party should count it's coin for a shopping trip. Welcome to Pathfinder 2, where item progression is mandatory character progression.

[@S0cialCrisis]

I’m glad you guys are stoked for Vancouver, my hometown! In my view, the most beautiful city I’ve ever been to. Worst and most insufferable people in the world.

[@Nercrontyr]

Maher-mar? Also my eyes! Get those dice a room.

[@SteelyPat]

When does the Troy Lavallee School of Segues open?

[@randalltupper8910]

What Foundry VTT modules are you all using I love those effects I WANT THEM for My GAME

[@upsidely]

PF2e Animations , Sequencer and JB2A free animations pack. They don't seem to use many mods tbh. The PF2e Animations should prompt you to install the other mods as dependencies.

[@randalltupper8910]

Thought they had to use the foundry character sheets for those pf2e animations to work hmmm 😢

[@linus4d1]

Just for clarification, you mixed up Earthfall and Starfall. Easy to do. Earthfall is the meteor that nearly destroyed Golarion. Starfall is the city in Numeria where the spaceship crashed.

[@upsidely]

Joe: I've got family there that have never seen me. KC Joe: Sean in seat 24b... I'm your biological father.

[@juan5501]

The last scene of the entire campaign, the unicorn lucky released crashes through a portal stabbing count ranalc through the heart with it’s horn. And through the portal you see……. LUCKY RETURNED AS A LICH. The real final boss. 🤯😱

Kate saw Rocky?!

[@Concret3Cowboy]

Boston in September!

[@maxmordor188]

Aww no one's excited for Toronto 😢 Jk, Toronto's a frozen hell! I love it

[@jimmyredd]

They can see the wall color? I thought they were just painted green. How does it work?

[@AsianViking27]

If someone from the party took one of those moving paintings and then later passed it on, would that qualify as the first account of an animated gift in Golarion?

[@KnottaDoctor]

1:30:47 it looks like this is Joe's first mission and he's not going to make it with that shirt 🖖🏻

[@KnottaDoctor]

Also he's looking pretty sharp, some serious dad hero vibes

[@Krayne95]

Syd does math at 1:17:48

[@ThePotsy]

@1:44:35 new meme format?

[@origami_dream]

Rocky would 100% start swinging at Adrian. Either because he's a lug and got confused, or... deliberately. I just rewatched that movie for the first time since i was like 10. Their date scene where he pressures her to come to his place then physically interposes himself to stop her from leaving is... uncomfortable. Not to mention the scene when he separates a teenage girl from her friends and starts talking about sex with her. Creepo indeed.

[@thorinbane]

Meh different time. Movie is almost 50 years ago. Go watch grease if you want to be creeped out at a musical from the same era.

[@MonteGruhlke]

Speaking as an artist - yes, we are shamelessly messy, and yes, we are evil.

Is one of you a Tottenham fan? Love the shout out

[@myownbiggestfan]

Here in Canada Vancouver is the Pacific South West.

[@TheGlassCannon]

Mind blown.

[@donc7664]

Not a PF player, not a Joe fan, but hoollyyyy ship that lore dump followed by player discussion was amazing. Surely there was a Troygasm happening behind the screen.

[@luminousmage]

Wait, on Troy’s crit with a 28, shouldn’t it have only been a fan crit on a Natural 20? Didn’t matter, but still, I thought the group was only playing with fan crits and fumbles on 20s and 1s.

[@alltradesjack502]

Shame on Mathew for doing mental Trigonometry in front if Syd like that, it was really uncalled for

I've played a few shows in Vancouver. The natural parts of the environment are pretty. The nightlife is kinda shit.

[@AustinKazda]

Nothing wrong with Sid having a +1 Katana in level 2 character creation. The PF2e system actually EXPECTS martials to have a +1 rune on their weapons at level 2.
