This episode makes me cry god damn it murph

Inez Bangar

This was such a good episode for Jake’s roleplaying and it was a HORRIBLE episode for listening to at work and having a chill time.

Sami Kerwin

i just started listening to the series, and while i was planning on getting here on the patreon, this was the one where i IMMEDIATELY was like ok i cannot go onto the next ep without hearing what they all thought about this 😭 absolutely wild, such great rp!!

wilhelm paul martinez

Brennan is good, but he's not kill Gemma bastard Murphy level of diabolical

Matthew

I love how Murphy planned this whole thing to pin it on someone but everyone has an alibi

CommodoreBlue

Still waiting for the Travis episode of D&D Court.

Hex Sharpe

I'm still mad at my husband about a multiplayer Magic game from like eight years ago, so I feel you Murph

DM Joe

Re-listening to C1, so I'm super late to comment here, but I just remembered that this episode was the one that made me subscribe to the patreon for short rests. Such a dramatic episode amongst all the humor. It really hits hard even knowing what's coming. Just wanted to say thanks Murph for making such a good story and thanks to the Boobs for making such great characters

Lilloth

Can’t believe DnD Court was birthed from Gemma’s ashes 🤘😔

OsoMarcos

Today is Thursday Dec 12, 2024 and I’m new here. It’s WILD to hear the Band of Boobs promote the fledgling Dropout bc I found Dropout before this series. This story has me in a complete chokehold and I’m GAGGED over Gemma’s death. I am here for the ride and am looking forward to getting current to see what’s happening with everyone now.

Emily Bausher

just listened for the first time and that was the episode that got me to subscribe because I cannot BELIEVE what just happened 😭

Feeline Productions

This episode was amazing! Can’t believe they finally kissed.

Connor McKenzie

Hardbuns axe is named Gemma, we can only hope this is incorporated into future role play ;D

Connor Proudfoot

I listen in work and genuinely needed a minute after this episode.

Jens Ek

Best episode of the pod yet!

Emmanuel Ronquillo

This episode was such a doozy. I was getting ready to point out how funny it was cause I just watched J&A Double Date where Murph and Jake kiss, so the roleplay was a hilarious coincidence. Then Murph HAD to have an assassin.

Rich Hilborn

Sooo, apparently I’m going to DnD Court?

Joshua Steiner

Damn that episode was insane! The scene on thr balcony was so vivid, making the assassination 10x more brutal. Well womp'd, Daddy Murph, well womp'd.

Akira

If Moonshine had 5th level Druid spells, she could have cast reincarnate on Gemma. So sad! But I love this, so much?

Tyreesh Simmons

That episode took my breath away. Such a rollercoaster of emotions. Idk what I’m going to do until the next episode!

M Scott Anderson

This is why you don't keep owning your DM. They punish you, eventually.

Cyborg Version of Josh the Kobold

Murph discussed how dangerous a fight with the assassin would have been without Hardwon's weapons, but he is Athletic AF and there's a possible scenario in which Hardwon perceived the assassin and grappled them. Maybe giving away that he is present but also having successfully saved Gemma and captured her attacker. Grappling is an underused mechanic, including on NADDPOD. I wanna hear more BoB grappling! #endrant All in all this was one of my all-time favorite episodes!

Joshua Chong

I think Hardwon would be able to take on an assassin barehanded. He'd withstand the two hits and grapple the shit out of a dwarf, something he has tons of experience with at the dwarphanage. And then paw paw woulda got Moonshine and Bev.

Tina Cassell

Reincarnate would have had all kinds of interesting possibilities. Chances are she wouldn't have ended up a dwarf so she could have gone off and lived her own life like she wanted. Revivify was also a possibilty in the first few minutes, its a 3rd level Paladin spell. Though this is more interesting narrativewise, and I kind of doubt they would have had the diamonds on them the spell uses.

i usually do too, i'm very glad i made the choice today to listen while doing chores before work

PurpleBullets

I want to just say how glad I am that this worked out so unintentionally perfect narratively. If PawPaw hadn’t been there, Hardwon would have been caught in an empty tower with his ex-lover’s dead body, with the murder weapon, and a note addressed from him to sneak away from her couriers, at a party he wasn’t invited to, days before her wedding! His friends were distracted and he finally got what he had been longing for. It was the perfect frame-job.

Wes Rand

Damn Jake, how’s it feel to get YOUR bell rung?

Dustin Blechschmidt

Fans last week: Ooh, they should have Jake's wife on to play Gemma! Murph this week: Yeah, about that...

Alec Persaud

Me and my sister spent the entire afternoon screaming and crying over this ep so aahhh thanks Murph for making my LITTLE SISTER CRY (it was so good though)

Bryan Ortiz

I almost car wreaked listening to this weeks episode....this is pure PODCAST GAMING!!!

DanDrako

The tragedy is how easily this could've been avoided if Bev had just not helped that guy poop...

Danni Sizzle

I ended up listening to the rest of the episode on the floor of my laundry room, clinging to the dryer for reassurances that things would be ok. Spoiler Alert: the dryer doesn't care about my trampled heart and neither does the DM.

maxent

i’m just thankful my roommates weren’t too concerned by the sudden shriek i made. it really was feeling far too good and magical to last. at least balnor finally achieved boob status!

Torr Lucas

Gemma and Hardwon's scene reminded me of the scene from IT Crowd where Moss broke up with Roy through DnD

Jeffrey massey

Just after the kiss...my heart broke,you could hear the pain in jakes voice.great episode

Richard Hesketh

And Bev was just a level away from being able to cast Revivify (the material components of which Gemma was probably helpfully wearing around her neck already...)

PogieJoe

I'm surprised they didn't mention how great Balnor and his initiation were this episode! That actually got me a little choked up.

Connor Proudfoot

Listening again and this is the most indepth look they have done into an episode

Murphy Hitchcock

How is Moonshine casting invisibility? It's not on the Druid spell list unless she were a different circle of Druid (Land-Grasslands)

Frederick Weisenberger II

Here's hope for the best timeline being they find a way to Reincarnate Gemma within the next 10 days

Dave Consolazio

Hardwon didn't have his equipment on, and therefore didn't have his hat with the luck point boost, right? So while we are all bummed for Jemma's untimely death, hopefully Jake can rest a little easier knowing this wasn't an option! (Nevermind that Murph may have forgotten in the heat of battle haha)

Matthew McDowell

For us Bastards Of The Mountain, could Caldwell draw the SS. Stormborn

Targott

I can hear the Arcane calling Hardwon... fantastic episode. I’ve been bingeing the show, and having this episode stand as my ‘To be continued...’ moment is clutch.

Connor Proudfoot

Please Daddy Murph, give us the next episode!!!

Stephano

Frantically refreshing Spotify & Patreon hoping this is all a bad dream... I need my boobs! (BoB)

Targott

Murphy tweeted that it would be up ‘Thursday night PST’. So I suppose he has a few hours to make good on that... :-)

Cody

They could’ve used Caw Caw to deliver the message!

Phillip Astorino

Re-listening to campaign 1 and I'm still heartbroken for Hardwon and Gemma. I'm also Murph, I'd still be mad if another player attacked me lmao

Anonymous

Dont worry murphy you got 'em, going to a party in DnD, at night, and not having a murder mystery?

ayahiraya

Late to the party but lowkey found it funny that Jake referenced that Hardwon was dressed like Robb Stark and got his girlfriend killed in the face of a forced marriage... Seriously though. Ep 35 really solidified how epic this podcast is (caused me to immediately get on with the Patreon to be honest!)

Caitlyn MacLeon

Fuck this episode. I just keep imagining how amazing it would look if Hardwon/Elias and Gemma got some art/a moment of them kissing with that gorgeous background, on the balcony, and Elias holding the dagger because he caught it between his fingers. Damn it.

Jostikas

File is broken? Can't download or listen. Using android app

Sophie Cook

did 'dungeon court' become a thing?? I would be SO down for that and I'm sure everyone else would be too

1man2hands

But Emily didn't answer Caldwell's question, if someone reanimates a skeleton and there's meat around it, what happens

taylor

I created a patreon account specifically to listen to this episode of short rest because this naddpod episode completely wrecked me. Just so you know.

Zacharythefish

This is my 3rd relisten to bahumia and I just realized murph stopped balnor from going up and standing guard even though he totally could have. Brian Murphy is a bastard man

jackalope503
>>75134646

eh, Balnor ultimately will do whatever the party tells him to. He was tearing up the dance floor with a frost dwarf lady and I'd argue it would've been odd and out of character for him to stop entirely what he was doing to follow Hardwon into a private moment apropos of nothing, especially since Moonshine and Bev were watching the hallway at the time

Camy Matsuda

I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS EPISODE! 'GEMMA, GEMMA, WAKE UP" TORE ME IN HALF
