Sorry for the delay! Travel has complicated our schedules and we aren't able to record this week's Short Rest until the weekend. It will be posted Sunday (4/7). 

To make it up to you, we invite you to take part in this week's episode discussion! Ask a question about this week's episode in the comments of this thread, and we'll answer as many as we can in the Short Rest. We'll cater the Short Rest to the stuff you're most interested in hearing about!

Comments

Michael McDougall

I think what we're all dying to hear is Caldwell's opinion on grapefruits.

Connor Stewart

The Band of Boobs has so far visited the Elemental Chaos, the Feywild, the Crick and some dang frozen mountains. Are there any other specific planes or landscapes you as players would want to see before the campaign ends?

Zach Fox

The 2 Crew has touched on this before, but it seems like it's been a while: what upcoming abilities or multiclassing are each player looking forward to the most with upcoming levels? Follow up: how do you look forward to these abilities helping you in your upcoming battles against Theala and her Big Dang Birds, etc?

jacket22

Does Niyac where underwear?

Tittyaana

To the DM(s) are you ever afraid that the world you create might be more interesting to you than your players and/or listeners? (Soon to be first time DM asking)

Anonymous

All this talk about relationships - how’s Pawpaw’s love life? Is there an animal for him? Hell, you definitely can get weird cross breeds like a Gryphon right? Possum Devil Monkey would be awesome.

Kahl Gillispie

How did Bev the IV gain his eyesight back?? This wasn’t ever “officially” clarified, and what other small things have happened in the FeyWild? (If any)

Anonymous

So has Bev IV lost his paladinhood fully and just gotta find a new faith or is he fully serving Ilsed and Akarot gave the okay to just protect the BoBs bc the goal "Fuck over Thiala" overlaps enough?

Anonymous
>>21458017

Murph might have said at some point that it wore off after a while, considering Bev IV was fighting in Galaderon after the crew met with the Green Knights, but we could fanon it to be that going to the FeyWild just kinda wiped off the magic

Anonymous

What do y'all think of Alanis re: this Bev IV thing? Surely she knows he's committed to Akarot — does that knowledge ease your concerns about Bev IV or concern you about Alanis

Josnak

Q for Murph: When you came up with what truths Ezra would reveal to the BoB, were there any alternative ideas that you discarded?

Amy Beery

Do we get to know what memories/information Balnor sees when he’s attacked by the eye? Also, for flavor, was Paw Paw heartbroken by Moonshine’s heartbreak, or did he have his own? If his own, what do you guys think it is? My husband and I were joking that his dad is a High Elf Possum

Cody Ary

This sode was the thiccest! I have a question for Emily. When you are making the music for the show, how much info does Daddy Murph give you so that you can incorporate the right feeling and tone into the music? And does it affect you as Moonshine at all knowing that you made happier music so the upcoming scenes might not be as serious?

Mitch Shultz

How do you as the players see your characters dealing with the truths that Ezra has shown to them? Example being Gillad continuously torturing the widow. And to what ends are the BoB’s willing to go too correct them?

Cody Ary

A Q for Daddy Murph: How far in advance did you decide to make Balnor the missing piece that the Bob's needed in order to be successful?

Alec Persaud

That’s very kind of you guys to do!!! Stay safe during your travels :)

MiloSassafras

Q for Murph, how far ahead and how detailed do you plan sessions?

MiloSassafras
>>21460035

Bonus Action! Can we see what the BoB character sheets look like now? I'm interested in how many notes a 1 year veteran player like Jake takes now, if any Lol

Atlas Earth

What did Balnor see when he was getting frozen?

Anonymous

Q for the dungeon daddy! Do you have any advice when it comes to helping the party continually develop their backstory and motivations without putting words in their mouth? Either from a DM or player perspective? New player from Denmark and day 1’er! I want to empower my party in building their motivations and stakes! Thanks for the thicc sode

Tukaru

I wanna here about the Hardshine kiss (from each character's pov), what Balnor saw and what alternate scenarios Murph had for the Queen's spooky power.

Nathan Benson

Q for Murph, what were you going to do if the BoB decided to duke it out with Brisbon? Also what monster is Bev Sr modeled after?

Shane Nolan

Q for Daddy: most surprising twist/ turn that the BoB made?

Tom Edgerton

Q for murph: Does hardone loose gallads head or has his head been replaced by a clone and if so Is the head the same or did he slightly upgrade it when he got a new one?

Anonymous

Question for Dungeon Daddy, have you decided on how time is going to pass in the material plane while this arc is going on? Because from the glimpses back into the material plane (curtesy of Alanis and Ezra) not much time has seemed to have passed on the MP, and what do the band of boobs expect to happen if a lot time has passed?

Kevin Alman

Q for daddy Murphy. Did you make it so Bev lost his spell component for the coin when he dropped it in the teleported, or did you let him pick it up after? Basically are the boobs down 2 revivify components now?

Eric and Andrea Benoit

Man, this short rest can't come fast enough. Once this fey wild arc is done where do you go next?

Thomas Friedlander

You guys have been mentioning Magic: the Gathering a bit in the short rests in addition to using Ravnica material in your campaign. My question is: what color(s) would you say reflect each member of the BoB (or in real life)?

Thomas Friedlander
>>21463634

P.S. I've thought about making some decks based on what I think your characters would play and then sending them to y'all

Brian Flake

(Spoiler) What nasty thing do you guys think Moonshine's dad would have had to do in order to win the heart of Jolene?

Anonymous

Q for Moonshine: do you wanna find out about your dad (and/or mom) if given the chance?

Amy Beery
>>21458421

Also, to the players, what other thorns did you think Ezra would use against you (especially Caldwell and Jake, after hearing Ezra torture Moonshine)/What thorns have you been curious about/wanting to see what consequences have unfolded since you have moved on with the adventure?

Jayden guerra

I think we all want to know why Sierra Needle was banned from that college

Alex aka Zol Ark

Q for BoB, do you guys support the Hardshine? P.S. and I don’t mean Bev’s weapon ;) (Did I really waste one of my many questions on a goof? The answer is Yes... yes I did haha) Edit: goof not good!!

Mason McCauley

Question for Murph: How did you come up with the bad memories for the BoBs? Bev Sr's deal with the devil, Galad lord of Shadowfell (still upset you got your bell rung), etc... Have you had these planned the whole time? Did you talk to Jake, Emily, or Caldwell about how their family members would act? Truly heartbreaking episode, keep up the amazing work!

All Pulp! No Juice!

For everyone: how was it dealing with counterspell for the first time? In my campaign when I first used it on my PCs they also wanted to kill me with nannerflies.

Anferny

Can your next shirt be: "Bros before Saving Throws" and have all the halflings together? (I wouldn't be against having Hardwon & Moonshine there, too).

Elysium Ervin

For Murph: Will there be any more guests anytime soon? I love the Band of Boobs but I would love another guest appearance especially if one played Beverly’s aunt/uncle or cousins

Mason McCauley
>>21466766

Also, very DM centered question for Murph and Caldwell, how much do you prepare for an episode? Do you write out every possibility? Note card? Online doc? How do you handle random encounters like the angels? Honestly, y'all should do a DM talk mixed bag!

Kestrel

Can we assume that everything Queen Ezra said was true, or is it possible that some of it wasn't fully accurate?

Austin lauer

To Murph: do you have plans for Erlan to come back in a blaze of badass redemption soon? To the BoB: marry fuck kill: gema, triss, shae

Anonymous

Any chance y'all will do a live show in LA soon?

Evan O'Neal

To players: This is perhaps the most political intervention you’ve involved yourself in. When would you trust one of your own with the crown (Balnor) over a stranger (the sunset princess).

Anonymous
>>21467151

I was thinking about this too. She combs through people's memories, but I feel like it's been mentioned a few times she reads the memories then finds a point to make it worse for the person, to make them feel depressed/guilty (unless I'm mis-remembering or misinterpreting, which in case my bad). Does that mean she might possibly be exaggerating or outright lying just to bolster that effect?

Evan O'Neal

To Emily: when will Sierra Needle’s next album drop

Rich Hilborn

For the players, do you have a list of things that your characters still have to do, and what is on that list?

Jonathan Ramoutar

Any chance we could get Sierra Needle stuff on Bandcamp? Old stuff, too? I looked it up but all I found were dead streaming links, and I can't go on knowing there's a song called "RAM me in the ASCII" without hearing what it sounds like

Israel Solis

Hi sweeties: curious to know how much input the players have on their characters backstory? For example Jake made his character an orphan but did Spoon Daddy ask Jake what his parents might be like?

Joe Murphy

Since this is a campaign after the campaign, would you ever do a 1 off of the gang playing as Thiala, Ulfgar and Alanis through one of their quests?

Anonymous

Murph, do you ever get writers block while working on the campaign and if so how do you deal with it? Also is there a future relationship between Moonshine and Hardwon???!!!! I honestly wasn’t expecting the kissing.

Carly Scutella

Murph, how far in advance did you decide Bev Sr. made a pact with acorot? Was it always purposeful that he wasn’t using paladin spells or did you just notice when listening back and decide to make it a story element?

DMCDawg

When did you plan Bev’s dad’s deal with Akkarat? Before or after the gang arrived in the Feywild?

Nicole Jordan

Are all the people frozen experiencing the same thing queen ezra did to everyone during this episode? What happens if say the kids of cran and durlin don't have any big secret or trauma to reveal? also I just love when we get to hear dm secrets so you know

Turner Tush

Murphy did you kill the raven queen????? One of my characters would be very upset

Miriam

It seemed like this was a really tense episode, especially for Caldwell when it came to his saving throws. What was it like being at the table as the main fight was all happening? Did you think it was the end for Bev/the gang?

Loosh from CT

are there good dragons in Bahumia

Leo

Hey Murph do you and the team ever read the reddit and change the aspects of the story based off of those posts?

Daniel Unger

I am also interested in the canonical monarchs of the Feywild and Shadowfell. Where's the Raven Queen, Murph? What did you do to Titania and the Queen of Air and Darkness, Murph?

Cain

To the band of boobs: will you all be willing to make an NPC sacrifice if it ultimately comes down to it? Beverly Sr seems to be on the verge but I'm worried someone will try beyond what's possible to save him at the expense of the party.

Jason MCGauly

1-why did you let Emily peek behind the screen and state she was out of counterspells? 2-was anyone else hoping Bev would actually die so we could see what death would be like for him?

Saru

Q for Moonshine: Are you planning to awaken PawPaw anytime soon or awaken him at all? (Not sure what level spell you need to do that ;;)

Chase Wassenar

A friend of mine and I noticed that Murph has recently started to give players more specific info behind the game's mechanics in pivotal moments (ex. In this episode, he told the band of boobs how much health the airship had and what would happen if it hit 0, and you told Emily when their opponent was out of counterspells). What's your DM philosophy behind what you choose to tell players and what you keep as a mystery in order to maintain suspense?

James Marshall

No question, just wanna congratulate Murph on this fantastic rp-heavy encounter that I'm definitely stealing, and props to the Boobs for making the most of it through their role-playing. That scene had a very unique, gut-wrenching beauty to it. Also, I wanna say that I'm not only jealous of the Boobs for having Murph as their DM, but I'm also jealous of Murph for having Emily, Caldwell, and Jake as his players. Awesome group of people... yeah, this ep got me very emotional... Great work!

MJMM

Question for DM Daddy, was there an off screen conversation about revealing who was truly Moonshine's mother?

Anonymous

SPOILER: In this episode Hardwon referred to Bev as his “little brother” and earlier in the fight kissed Moonshine, both while in combat. Is it easier for Hardwon to let his walls down in combat or is it the stress making it easy for things to slip? Also, gosh I cannot wait for a moment of quiet for the Boobs to talk over all the BuckWild things that have been happening

Jennifer E

I’ve been trying to think of a question, but I’m still reeling from the fantastic narrative emotional rollercoaster Murph took us on this week! Amazing story telling paired with fantastic role playing from the Band of Boobs! Great ‘sode, everyone!

Marisa

Murph- how far in advance did you decide that undead Galad would be someone the BOB would have to fight?

Taylor

Question for Daddy Murph, was all this emotional trauma revenge for getting dunked on? If not, womped? Having got your bell rung?

Zane

Murph, were you wanting Hardwon to get his just desserts for selfish condemning his Sweet Mamá for a while or was that more of a recent thing? I guess the same extends to the other two too. For the players, how do you think this is going to weigh on them and affect the Band in the future? is it making y'all reflect on things from the past in maybe a not so great light?

Anonymous

When the Band of Boobs minds were being dug through, what memories were you all expecting Murph to bring up?

Dani Sharkey

How blurred did the line between the character's feelings and the player's feelings get, (especially when Bev was rolling his death saving throws). Are you able to distance yourself enough as actors, or were your hearts just as beaten up as your character's by the end of the session?

BigFred78

When would there be time for another guest to appear? Next ark? Who would be your favorite guest to guest star as a character of Bahumia? Or Fay Wild? Maybe Jon Gabrus?

Spotpilgrim7

@Emily why aren't you plugging Doomsday Diaries on the podcast? It's so good and the fans love your music for the episodes!

Zach K

Here's some quirky quick questions to quell my curiosity. For the gang, can you ask Allanis how to use Rosaline's charges? Even if you just say it out loud she can probably scry you and send some animal messenger or something. For murph, what Cleric Domain and level is Earlin now?

Cameron S

Murph: Obviously Bahumia's hell isnt quite the same as standard dnd but are there other archdevils the party might have to worry about? Asmodeus was replaced by Illsed and theres akarot but I was wondering if the other archdevils like Dispater or Mephisto are still around and might offer deals to the players to help usurp Illsed.

Shenshen

I'm sorry, but I must now ship Hard/Shine! My question, if there was Fan Fiction about this podcast, would y'all read it? Also; when is your next live show?

Ben Delahay

You had Paw Paw freeze up? Did he find out he was the son of a city raccoon?

Ben Delahay

If Akarot made a deal with Bev Sr. does that mean he compromised on his dream to be Bev’s big bro by becoming his cool/creepy uncle?

Kaylie Elise

What level is Bev Senior? After he made his deal I have a hunch he jumped up a few but I can't tell.

Gus Rachels

What's the contingency plan for if/when a PC fully dies? Will they roll in a brand new character at the same level, take over an NPC, or play an alternate storyline in Shadowfell? What if there's a TPK?

Kaylie Elise

Who is everyone's dream guest to participate on the show? Personally I would love to see Matt Mercer try to keep up with your shenanigans and goofs.

rando

Murphy what was your inspiration for you feywild courts? Also I got a new phone recently how do I get the RSS feed again for the short rest?

Kyle

Does the bow that Moonshine got from the ghost girl have any magic properties? It's just a little thing, but I'm curious about it!

Anonymous

What did Balnor see in the Queen's spell, or was it just the same thing that we got to hear about when he got his memories back?

Anonymous

Murph, how far in advance do you plan these killer plot twists? Was Bev’s dad always gonna make this pact? Did you know the Widow was gonna be Galads prisoner all the way back in the Galaderon Saga?

Anonymous

Will Pawpaw ever become an awakened animal?

ayahiraya

Did Queen Ezra and King Lestibourne fuck? (Please say no.) In my defense, it's easy to make that connection with the (false) rumors alluded that they were lovers (leaving Queen Cirilla and all) and then the Boobs finding him cuddled up in Queen Ezra's lap... So. I gotta ask.

ayahiraya

Also, how far back was the Bev Sr./Akarot deal? Were they already in kahoots when Akarot offered Beverly that coin?

Connor McKenzie

Real Talk: Will undead Galad pashing his own rotting decapitated head cause a Doctor Whoish paradox that will destroy both Galads x'D

Lucian Walker

How does bevs dad feel about his love his light

Emma Horton

id love to know if bev’s idea to hold a reaction and cut off the eye stalks would have worked in the fight against the queen. it seemed like such a dope idea!!

maxent

I know there hasn’t been an NPC y’all have been Cobb-level tight with in a while, so I have to ask: what qualities do y’all as players and as the Boobs look for in an NPC to make them an honorary Boob? Side note: I was listening to some old 8 Bit Book Club & was reminded about where I’d heard Akarot’s name before...you ain’t slick, Murph

Anonymous

Will there be more Hardshine action?

Cameron McEwan

Emily did a great job of playing a depressed version of Moonshine. How did it feel to have Moonshine acting like that?

Cameron McEwan

Oh and when are we getting a nanner-fly DnD spin off?

Frederick Weisenberger II

Serious question: How does the cast think it would of went if instead of landing the helicopter or jumping out of it, the party just straight up ran the helicopter right into the tower?

Anonymous

As hardwon and moonshine have the same taste in ladies, would they consider a thruple situation ?

Anonymous

Did you intentionally make Gallad look more like ghirahim from legend of Zelda skyward sword now that he’s king of shadowfell?

Mickberg

Why didn't/couldnt Bev the 4th and the other green nights come back to the material plane? It's cannon the legendary heroes could go back and forth, it just feels weird to me that the green knights wouldnt have found a way back for 25 years..

Micah

Did the one hit point the Nanner flies inflicted actually win the fight?

ayahiraya

To Murph: When the Boobs were claiming they were on the same side as the devils while on the airship, unknowingly really being on the same side, how hard was it to keep a straight face?

Anonymous

How do you think moonshine is going to react knowing who her father? Do you think she will want to meet him or just push him out of her life and forget that she knows the truth? P.S. Emily; I'm going to try and incorperate your music into my current campaign.

Anonymous

This ‘sode was pretty thick. What is the cutoff line for a chode ‘sode in your minds?

Emily

Murph, how long have you been sitting on Bec’s dad making a deal with Ackarot?!?

Brian Jones

Murph, in general, how far ahead are you planned out in world? Can you timeline a moment you had a future event planned out?

BK

Does the return of Galad mean we may still get a Rosaline song?

Gage M.

I think the rose of this episode was learning about Galad. The thorn was probably about Moonshine's parentage, since I kinda liked the mystery of it. Murphy did you feel uneasy at all reveling that in this episode?

Josh Meier

When is the next live episode? Do you plan on any more Patreon tiers?

Emilie Rayner

What drove Hardwon to kiss Moomshine?

The Master

Are there any spells that bev and moonshine have learned that they haven’t used in the campaign before?

Grace B

Hardwon and Moonshine’s kiss! Unpack that sucker please Two Crew. (Example: how likely is it that Balnor will think some kind of Balnor-Moonshine-Hardwon love triangle has formed?)

Robert Z.

I’d like Caldwell to talk about what he was thinking about when he was rolling 2s on his death saves and Ezra counterspelled Moonshine’s healing spell. I love that really small relatable D&D moment when he realized that the party did not have any potions. I’m also very glad he survived, otherwise I’d never be able to listen to the episode where he bought three health potions and immediately fell down on them the same way again.

Avery Bruni

Okay two questions: 1) Bev and Moonshine pretty clearly don’t trust Bev Sr. to be on his own, even though Murph keeps metagaming and telling them through dialogue that he’s fine. How does the revelation about Bev Sr. in this episode affect their trust of him now? I can see how it could go either way. 2) Does anyone feel like Murph went in harder on them than the others with the Seer? I feel like Hardwon got F’d 😂

Anonymous

Did the players remember that the Queen could counterspell as a reaction based on the fact that "Brian-Murphy-who-drinks-curfee- talked about this archetype on the Short Rest some time ago? If so, was it hard not to metagame there?

Sean Magnacca

What’s everyone’s favorite bit/goof? Also, Murph, what’s your least favorite bit? Angels=birds?

Expedia the Forbbiden One

I know Emily didn’t want to know about Moonshine’s true mother being either Jolene or Maribelle. Did this change and that’s why it was revealed or did Murph surprise Emily with this announcement.

Duncan Crouse

Does Emily feel as strongly about Moonshine being half high elf? And do you think Moonshine will want to meet him especially after seeing Beverly reunited with his dad?

Kyle

Do you all listen to other D&D podcasts/shows? Alternatively, what do you draw inspiration from for your characters/stories/music?

Anonymous

Q for Murph, do you have a general idea of how the campaign will go from here on out, or do you plan each section of the campaign as it comes?

Anonymous

When did you come up with the plotline about Bevs dad?

Hot-Wheels Enthusiast

For the band, do you guys know where you'll be going next? Saving Hardwon's mom or visiting Bev's family, or head to where the crick elves are? Or maybe some other plan you guys have in mind?

Kewwand

Dear Brian: Does the saying; ‘Walking around like they know who their daddy is’, hint at the deeper lore that all Crick Elf Daddies are high elves, a secret the Mee-Maws guard. But has found its way into common parlance; that a Crick elf who walks around like a high elf would, all fancy like, just knows the guarded truth deep in their soul.

Kewwand

Also Murph, FMK: Bev, Hardwon, Moonshine

Scott Schubert

What is everyone's favorite magical item/weapon from a game or movie and why?

Leo Gabovich

Did anyone in the party consider trying to ram the airship straight into the cyclops when approaching the tower? I don't know why this was my immediate thought, but was curious if anyone in the party gave it some thought too.

Matt Thomas

Will Hardwon accept oral sex from Galad the next time they meet?

Anonymous

How was the queen able to see all these things? She certainly wan't god-tier like Alanis. Was it a spell of some sort that she can cast?

Anonymous

From Ep. 1 to Ep. 57, what has been the most notable change (e.g., thoughts on DnD, character attitudes, play style, etc.) for each member of the cast? What has been everyone’s biggest surprise, either about the campaign, DnD, or the podcast more broadly, since the podcast’s inception? Keep up the good stuff.

BlurryVizion

Will they ever upgrade their sound system?

Anonymous

How does Murph keept developing these backstories for the PCs? I feel like every arc we get a little more detail for almost everyone.

Alex Taylor

As a DM, what is your opinion of the play style of your fellow boobs? Does anybody ever surprise you with their antics or even lack of antics?

Anonymous

1. In the Akarot army vs. Thiala army battle that happened in this episode, which side was the fork and which was the spoon? 2. Dungeon Daddy shook the children to the core with some Dad and Galad Facts. Will the BoB choose to go after the Bad Dad (Beverley) the Dirty Dad (Moonshine) or Galad (Hardwon)?

Rylie R

What would Paw-Paw have seen that would have broken his heart? Can we have a Paw-Paw story arc?

Anonymous

Emily, what about that bow though?

Jack Thomas

As a new dm I'd like to ask how you write up developments for these characters without ever upsetting players by taking their characters in a different direction they thought of? I'm currently dming the lost mine of phandelver starter set whilst writing my own campaign for them

Nick Russo

Will there ever be some boy band type songs recorded? I remember Emily expressing wanting to do one, and even recording a little bit about Rosaleen. Would love if you guys actually did one!

Marisa Thornburg

Does working with Acarot mean that Bev Sr. will never be a strong paladin again? Will Bev develop septicemia from the holy butt juice? Does Moonshine feel more validated/loved after being kissed by Hardone, or just heartbroken more that he's breaking a vow to Gemma?

Matthew Leonard

Murph when you decided to reveal who Moonshine's father was were you considering that she would now be "walking around like she knows who her father is"? Jake what memory we're you scared of Murph creating for you? Did you think he would make one of your parents a fucked up up person?

Anonymous

Murph, how long have you had these revelations planned for the characters? Have they been in the works since the Boobs entered the Feywild (if not earlier), or was this a recent development?

Daniel Green

Excellent episode! Loved the fight scene, but one of my favorite parts was when you guys started singing Snow Patrol and Jake went straight to Chasing Cars... that's mine and my wife's song! Got married to it even! (We're musicians and had one awesome soundtrack to our wedding and reception!) Oh and as a musician with a small studio, I really appreciate all the work Emily puts in to the music and sounds for the show! Really adds to the overall experience! Anyway, my question isn't so much about this episode specifically as it is just to the group in general... Would you guys ever consider (even as a spin off or a one off) an episode(s) that in some way brought on fans of the show as guest characters - and if so, would there be a way to do this long distance (ie. over the internet) or does involving the tech take away too much from the experience of the group as a whole? You guys do such a great job, the only way I can think of improving the experience is by some how getting to join in... Anyway, great job guys! Looking forward to the Short Rest!

Anonymous

Murph, stupid little question but what level is Bev's dad? I've been wondering this since we found out he's been in the feywild for 25 years. I would imagine 25 years of adventuring would make him almost on the level of the legendary heroes!

Anonymous

Here's something I've been wondering for a long time (sorry if it's been talked about before), but when Jake made Hardwon, was all of the lies about his life at the dwarphanage planned from the very beginning? Or did he originally actually intend to actually be the coolest dude at the mountain, and the changes to that just come up later?

Debra Wasson

Have y’all ever gon back to the first episode? Did any of y’all see your characters heading in their current direction? Tangential note: the first time Murph is called Daddy is around 11minuets on the first episode

Anonymous

Did Caldwell, Emily, or Jake have any say in the things we saw, or was this all genuine surprise to them as well? Or did y’all do some planning behind the screen?

Anonymous

Is hardshine ever going to be a thing???

Charles Johnson

What was the plan in the beginning if by some unlikely chance Jake ended up hating to play D&D?

Anonymous

Murph, you ok hun?

james_in_space

Boobs: I loved everyone's role playing when Queen Ezra was messing with your heads! As a person who's dealt with depression, I thought the idea of a paralyzing heartbreak was spot on, and very well acted, and I was so happy that you guys still made it funny! When you guys are RPing, do you think about trying to keep that balance between touching/poignant on one hand and funny/goofy on the other? Same question for Murph from a DM's writing and preparation perspective. (Special shoutout to Emily's roleplay for killing it with heartbroken Moonshine this episode <3)

Brian Matthew

How many takes of each "scene" do you take? Like, do you just always go with the first thing said? Or, do you ever say like "wait, guys, I have a funnier thing to say, can we do that again?" Also, I (air)ship Hardshine

Dane Larson

You guys are so FANTASTIC!!! Makes my Thursday! So my question is, did you guys have an idea of what memory Murph (sorry Ezra) was going to pull on to try and break you? If so, what one??? Keep doing what you are doing!!!! LOVE IT!

Ash Hammack

So what is the backstory of the Unseelie queen? How effing old was she?

Semi-Sweet JP

Emily the music was INCREDIBLE did you have any specific inspirations?

BrassW

Murph, what was the ultra-depressing thing you whispered to the BoB's dice to have them lose confidence and roll so poorly?

David Donnel

What stat block did you use for the boss fight? I couldn’t find it in the MM, Volo’s, or Mordys.

Saru
>>21472726

I think knowing how much HP the airship has is as important as knowing how much your PC has in a fight. Also with the counterspell thing I believe that time Ezra only had less than 20HP left anyway and it hadn‘t been Hardwon‘s turn yet. It wouldn‘t have impacted the fight I guess?

Lilly Afshar

I also wanna know the queens back story!! There since the beginning?? Holy shit. Also if you go give that crown to the autumn court, is it gonna go through the queens eyes and curse her too?

Zarina Munoz

A few questions: How long does it take to edit the episodes? They just flow so well and make an hour+ fly by! What did Bev see when he was out? He mentioned saying hi to Hardwon's mom... When will the patches be available in the merch store? Can't afford the tier but I need them in my life. Do the revelations change where y'all want to head to next after this saga is "completed"?

Anonymous

Hardshine forever. Hardshine til I f**king die.

Jim Jam Flim Flam

For the boobs more than the DM, what do you feel Baonor's 'eye-ception' moment would've been like? and as a general question: Does anyone else find it funny, considering how much Hardwon cares about his virginity and sexual image, that Balnor has had sex before Hardwon? (not trying to shame anyone, just thought it's a bit funny seeing how Balnor is thought of as 'less cool' than the others)

Would love to hear the backstory of Ezra!

Bev, what was it like for you to almost die in the Ezra fight?

For D[addy] M[urphy]: how much detail do you put into your settings before the BoB arrive there? Do you already know the types of enemies and bosses for Shadowfell (whenever the Boobs make their way there)? For Bev: What do you think it would take to save Bev IV? If you have to defeat Akurrat in order to save Bev IV's soul, do you expect to have to face him (Bev IV) yourself?

For your DM what's your process for thinking up and designing the puzzles for the campaign? I'm so intrigued by this. Thanks guys, love you all!!!

For D&Dy Murph and Moonshine: how do you balance letting the players do their stuff without making them feel useless like, moonshine with the counterspell I'm guessing you don't want to punish her for being a druid in constantly counter spelling all of her spells but you also can't let the encounter be to easy and is this why moonshine multiclassed

Jeremy Smithheart

For Murph: How far back did you have this fight planned to go into the BoB's backstory? Bev's included something that happened just last episode so did you change what he had originally?

Hunter Hughes

Question for the Short Rest: When Murphy goes into one of the emotional moments with a character, is there just unbreakable eye contact between Murph and the players?

Haven

To Emily: Having already decided you didn't want to know Moonshine's true lineage, how does it feel to have been told now? Did you think the issue was going to stay a mystery forever, or were you expecting it to come up again?

Q for the Direct Messenger: I love hearing about how you homebrew and flavour-text stock Monster Manual creatures into distinctly Bahumian enemies, and I was particularly curious about where Queen Ezra came from, in terms of her stats and mechanical abilities.

Brett Himmelsbach

For Emily: After finding out that moonshines father is a high elf, how do you think she will go about accepting her new family heritage?

Chris Frampton

For Daddy Murphy... When the fomorian was revealing everyone's secrets, who had the best in person reaction to the revelations?

Murph, did you plan to have Moonshine’s father be a high elf the whole time or did you decide it as the campaign went on?

Yura

The only question that matters; what did Sierra Needle do?

if moonshines true form is fungal how is her father a high elf? is he some sort of high mushroom elf? or was he a regular elf who was just high on mushrooms?

Aristarkh Tikhonov

Really liked the "melancholic roadtrip" vibe in the beginning of the episode. And in total, ep was amazing!

Cody Ary

One question I've had for Daddy Murph: what is the most shocking decision to you that the Band of Boobs has made the entire series?

Her true form isn't fungal (if Ezra is to be trusted), Marabelle was lying

DungeonMama

Sorry if this has been asked before (and if it's too late for questions to make it into the Short Rest), but I seem to remember a long time ago Emily shrugging off the idea of a potential romance with Hardwon. In the last episode, it seemed like their attraction for each other came on rather suddenly, and seemed to be inspired by some not-so-subtle prodding from Bev & Bev. Have Hardwon and Moonshine been harboring feelings for each other for a long time and just now realizing/admitting it? Or are they feeling lonely and reaching out to each other for comfort?

OF ALL EPISODES TO BE LATE YOU CHOOSE THIS ONE?!?!

Thunderous Turtle

I’m probably too late to ask but... For Emily, do you have any plans for Rosaline’s scrying ability?

Michael Campbell

What do you guys think the ramifications of Bev IV’s deal will be?

So at the beginning of this arc, Murph stated that the two courts of the Feywild couldn't be summarized as good vs evil -- a description which seems to be pretty out of step with the way events have played out these last few episodes. I'm wondering whether his plans for the campaign changed after things got going or whether this was some sort of intentional misdirect to try to throw off character/viewer expectations?

hi everyone i just wanted to say that i eat pancakes and most other things with a spoon it’s the clear superior utensil. also short rests make me laugh so hard that i can’t listen to them in public anymore

He said that seelie and unseelie don't directly equate to good and evil, e.g. a manipulative and vain seelie eladrin (Bear Prince) or a crazy and helpful(?) unseelie goblin tinker (Gwee)

Tom Giagtzoglou

I’m curious about this too, and an extension, what are some examples of things that you have known were going to happen for a while, vs things that were made up on the spot?

Caldwell and Jake: are you sorry you didn’t say “Balloo Belay” when belaying to King Lestibourne’s tower?

Mines way down here but I'll ask anyway. Will there be a release of a Behumia setting? All me and my friends listen and really want to run a game in the world of behumia!

Marge In Charge

Emily: does Moonshine intend to awaken Paw Paw? Does Paw Paw want to be awakened? Murph: What did Paw Paw see from the thorn eye?!t

Emilie Rayner

How much content gets cut out each episode?
