The Grinch (feral)

I can’t even imagine wtf the cover image could be referencing lol

Dustin

That spill MUST be a Caldwell spill.

Hamerin

Don't even need to listen first to know the spill boy strikes again

Morgan

coming home from the bar to a new dnd court is the perfect friday night thank you judges 🙂‍↕️🫶

Sean Boyle

My god that's what that puddle is. I thought it was cat piss on the floor and I was really wondering what was gonna come up in the episode to prompt it. Haven't listened yet just came to comment on the thumbnail.

rosebramblewolf

Person whose boyfriend DMs for three exes, please update us!

JK Atula

Clearly Sir Chadsworth plays at all 3 of these games, and the harem of stolen SOs they've accrued is too much for the GM to stand against

Papervirse

I googled "dopey cause I'm picking my axe naddpod" and forgot to add the minus ai and all google ai did was flame hardwon: "Dopey" is likely a reference to Hardwon Surefoot (played by Jake Hurwitz) from Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDPod), specifically referencing his "stoic and goofy" nature. The mention of "picking my axe" refers to his signature weapon, a great-axe named Gemma.

Amanda Dick

I would like to plant myself firmly on the side of “your birthday is your problem”. I will buy the tshirt and everything.

Akrilothian Gaming

Also can I purpose Fibby for the lying dwarf name thank you

JK Atula

Bro you can't have Tired the Dwarf, they're gonna kill Snow White when she gets her turbo nap and Tired is stuck working the mines

josephine sameck

Lol, loved Murph's (scared and immediately backtracking )- "I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding"

Kevin Palmer

I have 2 questions for yall haha, first: is there a place for patreon members to talk to each other? I have questions for the fandom, on patreon, and definitely don't want to be clogging up comments on posts. And second questions is: is there a way to download all the episodes at once on patreon, or do I need to just download one at a time? It's almost 1,000 episode lmfao

Benjamin P Parson Gomberg

Regarding the Birthday Backlash, my quibble was Murph trying to use Lord of the Rings as an example about how fantasy doesn’t have birthdays. The story starts with a double birthday party for Bilbo and Frodo, and Sméagol’s descent into Gollum also began on his birthday as well. He literally picked the worst fantasy series to argue that birthdays are unimportant.

Kellyd

The subreddit is the best place to talk to other fans

Reid

Not Spillwell being the thumbnail

Little Cheese Confettis

Regarding the 5 hour long session and people dropping off - some people legit can’t socialize or engage for that long. I used to run a game with friends and one friend had ADHD and it was like, exactly at the 3.5 hour mark I would see her start to drop off. She had a lot of fun, was engaged, up until that point. She wasn’t the only one, she was just the person who it was the most obvious. So sessions became 4 hours (with 30 mins of that being for food)

Witpending

Thumbnail requiring exactly 0 context

Abigail Agnew

“The best way to lie is forever” sounds like a pop punk album title

remmingitis

"Dumpy", however, could probably fly off the damn shelves. Get that shit in the Tank ASAP

Kitt

Loved the reveal behind the episodes cover art. Honestly, I didn’t see it coming, so it was very exciting 🥤🌊🫢

HeyYeah

These guys love lying

HeyYeah

Like it's so weird to complain about someone coming clean about a lie right? They talk about how like they can't trust someone if they know they lie, but like you can't trust people even if you don't know? Wouldn't you rather people just tell you every time they lie to you? It's just crazy. I mean they also literally are people who do think it's fine to add like HP in the middle of a boss fight and then admit to it, so what's wrong with changing the centipede mid battle when it had lower stakes than the Thialla battle?

casablumpkin

Disney Park security is no joke.

Unbaked

im excited for The Down Upside Down Under!!!

El Jefe

Holy crap! That is such a huge spill! Caldwell truly does the title “Spill Boy” proud.

Colin Kilzer

Its so funny I knew it was Caldwell who spilled and I also said “it kinda looks like a landmass”

Patrick B

I simply need to hear more about the DJ Khaled inspired paladin

Matt Renko

The Etsy shop is obviously called Sonic the Hats hog. It was right there

Rafael C

can't wait to get a deal out of all the dwarves shirts after Caldwell goes to jail in Anaheim for selling them under a bridge inside the park

Aster Ellis

The public shaming of Spillboy is so sad to see

Rafael C

I think its mostly about not ruining the smoke and mirrors of DMing so you can provide your players with a sense of immersion and not take the stakes away from it. Like, lying in good faith to make it a better experience for everyone. I think the DM either does lie if they cheat (though they shouldn't cheat, they don't even Have to, just homebrew it in advance), or doesn't cheat at all; so in a way lying to cheat and then coming clean about it is counterproductive and not selfless in any direction, they did cheat for their own benefit and then didn't even attempt to preserve their players' sense of trust, thus making it a doubly deflating experience for everyone, since now that trust is damaged/broken.

nightyorb

Grumpy shirt that says “eat my axe” ⛏️

HeyYeah

Preserving the players sense of trust would just be a second lie. They just shouldn't be lying. Think about this: if that person hadn't come clean then the sense of trust would be preserved even though the person is a liar. Would you rather play with a liar you don't know is a liar or a liar who will tell you they're a liar and where they lied? The former genuinely isn't trustworthy, the latter is because they literally are telling you about their lies

Cody Zimmer

Yeah... I ran three, eight hour sessions in a row when I was in the military because our command structure didn't schedule enough flights and we got stuck for 5 extra days. Even with a captive and motivated audience we had 3 or 4 people cycle out. At the end of the third day I was completely tapped out of pulling ideas out of my ass for the group to play and it unraveled because we were all a little sick of it at that point. Anyway, pay attention to your player's attention spans if you want to play with them again.

tori

WRONG TO BE JEALOUS?!? GIRL!!!!!LEAVE THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!!

tori

🥺🫶🏼 you deserve better you deserve more

Clever Innuendo

Now I'm imagining Murph's face over the clip of Bernie Sanders where he's like "If it's your birthday, I don't care. Do your job!"

tori

the more i think about it the more my heart breaks for you 🥺 you poor thing 🥺❤️ let me fight him 😭

YourAnimeDad

My DM does a lot of heavy lifting but we came up with putting it to a poll and then trying to coordinate once we have a range. And we are a weekly table.

gandalfsbignaturals

murph telling u to break up with ur bf has incredible magical potential. i think ur powered up for a smite now

Fiver

Are you by chance autistic? My sister is autistic and has a similarly strict, hard-line, black and white stance on lying. You either are always truthful or you’re a LIAR. We’ve had similar arguments a number of times. (To be clear, this isn't a judgement call, just different ways brains work) Personally, I want you to lie to me about little things if it will make my experience better, or just make me feel better. Not, like, if you fudge every roll or you’re cheating on me or something, but do tell me you like my new shirt or pretend you didn’t change some HP in a way that makes an encounter more enjoyable. Things that really don’t matter but lubricate social interactions.

Hugo Wull

Yes, Caldwell had a massive spill, but he also had a fantastic country music pun.

Rai

I want the “your birthday is your problem” grumpy shirt 🩷

Zodi

I wanna skate with Murpheus

TechnoMach

Maybe its a terrible idea but you guys should consider the Starch Madness idea (ranking appetizers) for this months mixed bag

Savor_The_Robot

my friend turned 29 and we threw him a surprise party. Lol

Bransy330

NADDPOD 🤝 Threedom Podcasts who love an absolutely incomprehensible to anyone outside the fandom t-shit

bretpop

Snow white is public domain

Grass

Don’t know what happens but the thumbnail is very exciting! I’ll report back

Grass

Girl I’m sorry but you deserve so much better. A good partner is allowed to have separate activities and interests but should still feel some joy in the person they love participating

Grass

Jake that’s WILD because it’s my birthday and I’m 28

Grass

A spill! Fantastic work!

Mortimer Lunch

Can we get it on the back of some sweatpants à la “Juicy” attire from the 2000s?

Hayley Carter

My favorite thing about these is when they claim to not know something when it was in the submitted case 😂 ignorance is comed y?

Tony K

Caldwell is a bridge troll 😂😂☠️☠️

david

Long time listener and ima give my Caldwell generous read here. If the guy has 2 games going with exes is it possible he at least thinks dnd is the reason for the breakups and he dosnt wanna mess it up again? Its probably not that and he is prolly a shit head but it could be right?

electric_claire

I've been DM to many people who treat D&D combat like an autobattler so I'm kind of inclined to side with jello DM. Two cubes is probably too much but it can be really frustrating to DM when your players' only strategy is to move to the nearest enemy and attack. Sometimes you gotta retreat and regroup, lay an ambush or a trap, use the terrain to your advantage, etc. Two gelatinous cubes in a locked room is certain death but two gelatinous cubes in a long hallway is certain victory if you play your advantage.

Austin Powers

Thanks for reading my Strahd story on the podcast!! Still buzzing haha

Kal and her cats Portland, Star, and Berlin

Murph having the most Reaction™️ to the boyfriend not letting the girlfriend play d&d because “she wouldn’t fit in” is frankly the biggest mood. Emily, your husband is a walking green flag🤣

AgedGouda

“Fun around the house” in reference to the flintstone pillowcase costume, Caldwell has crazy memory. I believe that was brought up on the show years ago 🤣 Edit: 20:55 I think it was the “player named flaming hot Cheeto” episode with Beardsley??

Gearbox

If the girlfriend sees this, don't take your relationship advice from a d&d podcast. The hosts do not know your boyfriend as well as you.

Brendan Duggan

Can we get more surprise rounds? Every time i hear them i end the episode in pain from all the laughing im doing and i am a bit of a masochist

pedalinpigeons

It sounds like she already has a lot of misgivings about the DM boyfriend already so I say trust your gut and it’s okay to take relationship advice from these knuckleheads. 😂

pedalinpigeons

Extra red flag if the DM boyfriend’s name is Nathan. 😆 (#ifykyk)

Smurrosaur

I just need someone to know the cursed (/impeccable?) 7 dwarves merch that immediately popped into my head: it’s juicy couture sweat pants but instead of Juicy across the butt it says ‘Bashful’. I’ll see myself out.

Tavitafish

Individual dwarves for people? You guys reinvented smurfs

Alexis

Caldwell was so close, except resellers are literally selling from actual disney stores and not under bridges hahaha. they bring a bunch of tote bags and wagons and livestream from the store before they even officially bought the merchandise. I’m at work and can’t find a good video/ link but if you just search “disney resellers” you should be able to see what I mean

Martian

I think I'm a Doc rising and Sleepy moon

Oscar

The water spill is the side profile of the Grinch...

Sara S.

Counterpoint: it’s not great DMing to give your level 1 players a fight where their only responsible turn choice is “retreat 20 feet, spam cantrip/shoot your secondary weapon hand crossbow, repeat” where victory is assured but will take 15-20 rounds.

Sean M

Found the boyfriend 😂

TheDandyRascal

Like Murph I also just turned 40 and did nothing. It was great!

Logan

I saw someone wearing an “I’m Grumpy. Deal with it” shirt at the grocery store while listening to this and I felt the presence of dice christ

Ryan

1) Sang Dashboard Confessionals all the way home after that. 2) That ending/closeout jingle ripped.

Lava

The photo for the episode being the Caldwell spill is so funny

AlbireoRising

That's what I saw too! I was convinced when I opened the episode that's what they would say.

Tim

I do think “the best way to lie is forever” definitely would have made a good pop-punk/emo album title. For some reason, it feels Mayday Parade

dillish

Dashboard Confessional = capital W

Aileen Garcia

Anyone recall which episode has the flurry of blows and movement ruling? Can't tell from the episode titles :(

Dr. Eggman

Can we have a shirt with Balnor wearing a grumpy shirt in a birthday hat saying "your birthday is your problem"? 🥺🙏

Summer Tribe

How tf do you loose a fight to gelatinous cubes? Literally walk backwards. Big Bro is completely correct

Summer Tribe

Birthdays are the only reason i see some friends. Idk bout y'all but i need them

Kaidan C

The gelatinous cube thing is freaking sending me into orbit, they’re making it sound harder than it is, Emily made it sound like 15 feet per turn is really fast too I ran a naddpod inspired monster madness and one of my players drafted the cube. Indeed, it was hard-ish to kill, but it was so freaking slow that challenge rating 1/8 monsters could just easily avoid it throughout the entire conflict To me it just sounds like that party wasn’t very creative, which… DJ Khalid and shrek? I’m not too surprised Also of course it comes out that Murph has had birthdays, the lousy hypocrit (jk)

Kaidan C

“A lot of misgivings” like, 1 and 1/2 misgivings that she’s clearly not even certain about if she’s writing in about it Not taking the internet’s relationship advice too seriously should not be a controversial take, ya ever stroll on through r/relationship advice? People should be using their own intuition, context, and not putting an oversized amount of weight on the advice of strangers who don’t even know your partner

Kaidan C

My generous read is that bringing a new girlfriend/boyfriend to a closed game is kind of weird, and I think people overlook that I just don’t understand why he couldn’t just come out and say that if it’s the issue. It’s definitely sus

Kaidan C

It triggers my ocpd a little bit every time I just have to remind myself that the courtroom pastiche is paper thin and meant more for comedy than anything

Kaidan C

Caldwell is so good with the deep cut references I always appreciate his pulls from early 8bit book club

Kaidan C

Very well said, it’s good to try and be observant about that I’ve also run into the issue where just one player can only play for a couple hours, but everyone else, myself included, is ready to lock in and play for 4+ hours (I heard 5 hours and laughed a little, because to me that’s like base level, I’d go for another 3 hours easy) and it can be hard to try and structure the entire game to cater to only one person In this case sounds like the whole table was feeling done though

Kaidan C

Also a lot of other fantasy properties prominently feature birthdays as well

Kaidan C

Sounds fun! I think it’s a great way to take a break and celebrate a friend or family member, or even just reflect on your own growth or just do something you like. Birthdays are a great opportunity to celebrate yourself and do something selfish too, especially for people like me who tend to go with the flow and obsessively people please

Renee 🧡

I promise I’m capable of independent thought 🤣 he’s a sweet guy, I’m just sick of being left out of DnD.

Renee 🧡

I’ve dropped hints I want a one shot for my birthday. We’ll see how it plays out and maybe I’ll be contacting you as my Champion.

katie potato

I thought It was the Republic of Ireland...

Matt L

Don't listen to the haters the birthday take has been your best take in this show!!!

Matt Rajala

Late to the party but I came across a “it ain’t easy being this dopey” bumper sticker in the wild with a dopey based license plate and have to give this episode a relisten

katie potato

I think murphtopia just looks like ireland

Anthony

"I dont think this relationship is working.... Anyway, here's my character sheet.

Max Herzog

The DM is sleeping with his exes and doesn't want his current gf to find out

J. Gro

Related but not, I just saw a license plate that said "GR8GZOO" not 30 minutes ago!

J. Gro

I agree that celebrating your birthday is your problem. It can be solved by telling a good friend/SO that you want to celebrate but don't want to plan - you have to communicate your needs! No one is a mind reader!

J. Gro

Our DM also just comes up with an in-game reason why a character isn't around (when a player is absent). It shouldn't be a big deal!

Benjamin Korynta

Im speaking out of school but it sounds like coercive control

Kellyd

Girl this is literally insane. Boyfriend telling you his friends wouldn't like you and breadcrumbing you with campaigns you would fit into and making the active choice to never start them. He fucking sucks and you're allowing him to treat you like dogshit. Why submit the case if you were just gonna insist he's an angel through the comments? People with angel boyfriends don't need to do that, ever
