Hey there, raocow! Have you heard of The Binding of Isaac: Antibirth? It's a fanmade DLC-size mod for Rebirth! Just thought you should know! You can find out more at <a href="http://antibirth.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://antibirth.com/</a> ! It's being released shortly after I post this, I think!

Hola, raocow! Christmas is over, time for metal! Résiste et Mords!: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGtEH1i78sI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGtEH1i78sI</a> What are your plans, if any, for New Year's Eve? My plans mainly revolve around blasting the sky with as many fireworks as I can afford. More on Agone: the effects of music (the magical art is called Tune) depend on the instrument used and the more powerful form of Tune can be used to create magical instruments and to compose powerful scores. Funny detail: the harpsichord is not available to player characters (called the Inspired) as that instrument was chosen by the setting's equivalent of the devil, called the Masque, for himself and his allies. The powerful form of sculpture (Shape) can be used in two ways, either to create living creatures or powerful Artifacts out of glass, stone, wood, metal and cloth. The simpler form of Shape can be used to change the consistency, weight and shape of an object. The races available to players in Agone include Ogres, Minotaurs and Giants. So if you want to be a super strong bruiser, you totally can. Now for new stuff: You are a mage and during your first adventure a gobling charges at you, weave a spell to dissuade him (read carefully and describe the effects): Cast a Spell (INT) When you weave a spell to help solve a problem, describe it and roll +INT (roll 2d6+2, we'll assume your Intelligence is 16). Spells cast this way can never deal damage directly. On a 10+, the spell certainly helps, but choose one from the list. On a 7-9, the spell takes effect, but choose two: • Your spell won't last long - you'll need to hurry to take advantage of it. • Your spell affects either much more or much less than you wanted it to. • Your spell has unforeseen side effects, and might draw unwanted attention. • The casting saps your energy. You take -1 ongoing to INT until you have a few minutes to clear your head. On a miss (if your result is 2-8), something's gone horribly wrong. Your spell may well have worked, but you will regret casting it. (You probably have chosen the Black Magic talent which allows you to cast damaging spells, but lets see how you handle this situation with non-damaging spells.) The above scene was inspired by the Dungeon World RPG (more specifically by the "Dungeon World Alternative Playbooks" 3rd party supplement's mage playbook as I like its magic system more than the one in the core book), a fantasy hack of the Apocalypse World Engine. Powered by the Apocalypse (a.k.a. Apocalypse World Engine) is a very non-crunchy and story telling focused game system. The GM creates dramatic conflicts and struggles for the PCs and all players share the responsibility for shaping the story and the game world. The classes are called playbooks and each playbook includes all you need to quickly create a character, including lists of names, looks and selectable gear. More info on the Apocalypse World Engine and its assorted hacks: <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/PoweredByTheApocalypse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/PoweredByTheApocalypse</a> For those interested, the full-size preview of the book shows the entire Mage playbook: <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/108623/Dungeon-World-Alternative-Playbooks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/108623/Dungeon-World-Alternative-Playbooks</a>

Addendum, I'm afraid I am far more a collector of RPGs than a player, due largely of my disinterest in social interaction. The fact that each RPG book contains countless potential stories thrills me and drives me to acquire ever more of them.

Dear raocow, Boo! It's quite possibly the last powerful wizard primetime power hour spectacularaton of the year 2016! (Part 7) i miss you westwood youtube.com/watch?v=w30WxOqOOPs 1. A bunch of classical music composers are drawn from the aeons of time and put against eachother in a big ol' slugfest! Obviously, this must be the work of a powerful wizard! But who wins the fight? 2. One day you wake up to find yet another powerful wizard boon left on your door step! The boon grants you a one time ability to rename anything or anyone, with history also being altered so that it was always named like that. Renaming a thing will also cause it to be renamed to the closest equivalent in other languages too. What do you use this awe inspiring power for? 3. You're having cereal one day, but then a powerful wizard comes along and brings cereal mascots to life to fight to the death for entertainment! Who's your money gonna be on? 4. What does a powerful wizard's doormat look like? 5. A powerful wizard comes along and (choose what happens next!) 6. What would you buy a powerful wizard for Chrimbus? 7. What kind of resolutions would you expect a powerful wizard to do for the new year? 8. If you encountered a powerful wizard with a seriously nasty case of the hiccups, how would you go about scaring them as to cure said hiccups? Alas, none of the boons involve slime pcs in dungeons with dragons.

raocow... Christmas holiday season was nice, wasn't it? Anyways, I thought I made shallow questions before you read them, but they turned out to be really something special, and there's quite a bit of my mind that I still wish to speak about them. I never would have imagined that you were once arrested as a child. You don't give youself enough credit there, raocow. I am just realizing now how far you've really come. Not just from the start of your LP journey, but your life. It really takes an oxload of strength to shrug off a past like that to reveal a cheery exterior. ...Given that you have told your story about your days at school, I feel the need to give mine as well. My school experience was incredibly different from yours... First of all, I approached people instead of the other way around, though calling me a social child was a bit of a stretch. I often sat at an empty lunch table at lunch, and conversed with people near me, even if they were alone. I made a few friends this way. I was also pretty brave as a child... once breaking up a fight all on my lonesome, in what I would still consider the most heroic moment of my life. My closest friends were actually the teachers, but I also had a fair few friends among the students. I was also accompanied by a teacher's aid for most of my schooling career (who were all thankfully very nice), but I had a few... unpleasant habits. And I still had a bit of an awkward teenage phase, not helped by moving. Strangely, it wasn't until college when the old motivation took a hit, but I still manage to find my way by the end of a class's lifespan. Keeping good graces with the teacher was enough to keep me going in the vast majority of cases. ...That brief autobiography aside, I... didn't expect that to be the poem of the day last week. It was rather blunt on the terms of writing, but pretty unorthodox.... interesting combination there. Poems are actually pretty freeform these days, with beauty being in the sparks of creativity between the lines. IT'S YA BOY... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgM-WORbWeU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgM-WORbWeU</a> ...I can't even continue the rest with a straight face. Questseuq: 1l.) Why do people just use an excuse to cover up that they goofed? 23.) You know there's something wrong, but you can't quite feel it with a long pointer finger... What is it? 4o7.) Is everything plane as day now? Or is it dork as night? ...I think the song ran out. Have a REAL song: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyeYwgIMXoQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyeYwgIMXoQ</a> In 8-bit, naturally, to avoid the copyright. REAL questions: 1.) You know how you mentioned Diablo II and that one Final Fantasy? Well... they would make for really good streaming games! You might even be able to reupload them to Youtube, if you desire that as content as another option... (not alone, naturally) 2.) Did your family give you some nice gifts? I know I got a few, but Christmas is a little less special for our family at the moment. 3.) What's the best joke that a game has told you, either by visuals, or by text? 4.) Is that washing machine down there secretly a Sloshing Machine? 5.) Did you ever remember that I sent you a Mario Maker level last holiday season? 6.) When do you think hard light is going to be marketable? 7.) What is your opinion on ceiling fans? 8.) Let's end this with a display of fireworks. What's your favorite tradition for this time of the year? Since the VCR is sadly kicking the dust a long time ago, I cannot participate in my pastime of watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Well, 2016 sure happened. It was... a thing. Now on to a good number of people, also chomping at the bit to get some questions out there! Also, as a last note, I wish I could be a part of that hypothetical cession with Bellmore. These patapon people are cool people.

Hi rao! A longtime viewer starting about eight years ago, and a recent patapon, I'd first just want to say thanks to you for all the fantastic videos, and actually another thanks to the Talkhaus for all the amazing projects they have done like the Advent Christmas', ASMT, ASMBXT, etc., and just the style that it all has. I feel like if I wasn't already wrapped up in so many other things I would have gotten into the whole Talkhaus thing; it just seems like one of the best online communities, having some great ideas and talent. I have yet to catch up on all the Patreon videos, so I apologize if these have been asked already: 1. I never got the chance to play the old Rayman series when I was younger, but after watching a longplay of Rayman 3, I found it fantastic and really liked how there was definite change in the feel of the game about halfway though, still nicely funny all the way though, but adding some gravity. This is something that I wish more games nowadays would re-explore. What are your thoughts about the Rayman series? 2. Do you have any favorite comedians? Personally I love Eddie Izzard! 3. Something I've remembered from the earlier videos is that you're a root beer drinker, heck yeah! Do you have any favorite root beers/sodas in general? I love trying unique and even unusual sodas. 4. Do you have a favorite type of chocolate (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, with/without other things inside, etc)? Clearly I don't have a sweet tooth. 5. Thingamajig, doohickey, or whatchamacallit? Would there be French/Quebecois equivalents of such words? I'm flying out for the holidays tomorrow and am downloading the audio versions of the Patreon videos for airplane listening material. Have a great holiday everyone! Alex

Funny thing you mentioned Zelda 2, because I remember being terrified by the actual player death effect, but have no memory of the game over screen. I wasn't even aware there was a game over screen in Zelda 2 before I saw it online. Memory's a funny thing. But whatever, here's some music, which I will copypaste in after browsing youtube aimlessly for an embarrassing amount of time or something, I dunno: <a href="https://youtu.be/HcWW6cNCbwc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/HcWW6cNCbwc</a> and an alternative should that one be blocked or finish before you're done with this block of nonsense: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyFqDARGeZw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyFqDARGeZw</a> And now here's some questions I thought up along the week and some that I thought up just now, maybe: 1) If you had to choose, which would you say to be the best/worst of your lp:s of 2016? 2) It's not a big deal that you're not streaming, I personally prefer let's plays anyway. Which do you prefer? 3) What's your favorite obsolete technology? 4) Oh hey it was Decemberween last weekend when you read this out loud next week. Did you get any kewl gifts? 5) What is your stance on fireworks? Cool, awesome or both? 6) Approximately how goddamn fucking terrible is the weather? 7) A powerful hindsightseer allows you to redo something that, in hindsight, you could've done differently. What dodododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododododoododododododododododododododododododododo you do? Ps: I'll take this opportunity to express my admiration for let's player's skill to come up with stuff to say on the fly. If I tried let's playing, it would start at awkward silence punctuated by stuttering mumbling nonsense and slowly degenerate into dead silence punctuated by frustrated cursing and angry non-words (such as "mrr-hoha!"). Also Bellmoore received a couple of new Lamentation of the Flame Princess books today, so expect something about them in a coming patapon. Probably not next week's one, but y'know. Yay for christmas!

In response to Mikkofier, as a matter of fact, I do live in New York, so that's probably why my supermarket had Rao's sauce stocked. Interesting indeed.

Also, to raocow, New York is both a city (New York City) AND the state in which NYC exists! (Also New Jersey's not that bad. Parts of it anyway... :( I used to go on vacation to one of the smaller cities on the south Jersey shore and it was actually pretty nice. No Bahamas or Jamaica or anything, but it's close to home and it's got a beach, so it was fine.)

Bonus content in honor of the last patapon video of the year and (ha! Mikkofier, this shall not wait!) because I just received the latest Lamentations of the Flame Princess books. If you are running a campaign, whether in an published setting or a world of your own creation, how willing would you be to wreck some established parts of it that are dear to you in order to add more puch to an adventure? In this case the wrecking is done by a bunch of Giants riding in a Skyfortress. The Giants in guestion resemble centaurs, if you used the front half of a shark and the body of an elephant and if sharks had big, beefy arms with wickedly clawed hands. Now, how would you flavor these giants? Are they: 1. Space aliens! (take the above description, but add "...if sharks and elephants had been designed by H. R. Giger." How did they get here?) 2. Angels! (more specifically of the fallen variety or they are descendants of fallen angels or maybe they are some other variety of mythological low-life.) 3. Mutants! (the antecedents of the giants were less hideous and gigantic. Are the PCs in danger of mutating if they stay in the Skyfortress for too long?) 4. Shark-Elephants! (they are literally sharks and elephants sewn together mad scientist style, with some beefy arms thrown in for good measure. Is their creator still around?) There is a similar questionnaire for the origins of the Skyfortress. (Spoiler: the Giants did not built it, they just found it and have been joyriding it ever since.) The above is from "Broodmother Skyfortress: buying any other adventure is just throwing your money away!" On to other things..., but first some appropriate music: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be9kflgG8Xo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be9kflgG8Xo</a> The year is 1617. Are you bad enough dude to infiltrate a place nobody else has been able to return from: Lucia de Castillo's chocolate factory Castillo Chocolatería in northern Friesland? The French merchants who have approached you are willing to pay handsomely for each and every piece of information or sample that you can provide. The products of de Castillo's factory are centuries ahead of her competitors and they are desperate to know her secrets. A sample or taster, if you will, of what you might encounter while exploring the factory: Poison/disease called Irresistible Smell, you begin to smell delicious. At first you just attract animals to lick you all over, but after a while the effect intensifies and all characters near you must make saving throws to keep themselves from tearing into you tooth and nail. The only cure is to mask the smell coming from your body, hopefully before you are reduced to a gnawed skeleton. (If you can do a death metal growl, now is the time to use it) "Blood in the Chocolate" is a fun Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired adventure. Well, fun for the GM anyway. Players whose characters end up deformed or consumed by their companions might have differing opinions. As with most LotFP adventures, viewer discretion is advised. From the back cover blurb: "Blood in the Chocolate is a psycho-sexual romp that pits characters not just against their enemies, but against their own twisting, melting, inflating, or poisoned bodies." Happy New Year!

Musik (swedish for 'music', HARDCORE SWEDISH KNOWLEDGE): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl2ZykId8Oc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl2ZykId8Oc</a> ~ You wander down a dusty road. You meet two wizards (I mean, what else would YOU meet?). The first wizard, sporting purple drapes, offers you a rainbow-colored concoction of unknown qualities. The second wizard with no outstanding outward looks offers you a magical leaf he found during his travels, he promises it is quite amazing by his standards. Now then, which of the two wizards would win in a battle?! ~ Random short stuffs from a D&amp;D 5th ed. campaign I'm in: So, we're currently casually visiting hell (as you do) and we might be murdering the entirety of the crew of the boat that will take us to the 5th level of hell, then to the 4th, then back to the 1st level. Good times. Also, we have a flying city. Radical. Also also, my character is the only surviving character that we started with, although technically not as he sort of committed a very undetailed assisted suicide to reincarnate in a new body so a couple of pissed off nobility dragons wouldn't find him. Bummer. Merry ferry!

this patapon can count as a "coming patapon" at least at the time of writing.

So, I've been subscribed for a while now. Figured it was about time to get off my lazy butt and actually login and check these vids. I guess I could ask a few Qs while I'm here. 1. Did the shirt fit? Or is it now an awkwardly shaped blanket? 2. What's your favourite opera? Unless you find opera to be a boring snoozefest, in which case :( 3. Do you enjoy any visual novel games (e.g. Hotel Dusk) and have ones that you want to look into? Or do you find visual novels to be a boring snoozefest, in which case :( 4. 2016 was extremely garbage (at least for me), but I'm still optimistic about 2017 being better even though it's just an arbitrary beginning/ending point. Anything in 2017 that you look forward to? That's all for now. Let's see if I remember to actually watch the next video. Thanks! (Note: I tried typing this out on my phone at first and it was near impossible. Stupid no line breaks)

(Assuming you used the 5th ed. Reincarnate spell as written.) How would you rate your feelings, on a scale of delighted to enraged, if the DM had used a reincarnate table from a previous edition and you came back as an animal or centaur or some such?

It's time for a patapon request! Oh man! Grab that Inspirations books, flip to a random page, read the poem on it (if that page doesn't have a poem, read the next poem you find from turning a page or two) and give us a reflection on what you read with as much or as little detail as you want to. Merry christmas to you, cowrao, and to all the other great patapons and saucepans alike! ^_^

Heya, Raocow~. Posting this on Christmas Day~. Have some music, i'm sure you know this artist well, it has been stuck in m head for a while now. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Kg2qxyHQA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Kg2qxyHQA</a> Anyway, before i begin. The reason why there are so many babies in my RPG thingy is because it is kinda of the NSFW nature.... that and the rolls are bad. Low chance of pregnancy and the dice gods decide to get just in the range for pregnancy XD. Oh ya, Yes, the cowgirl is like a Minotaur. In any case, M was reasearching on the corruption that took hold of Hawk and a Gnoll by the name of Tirrs during the fight with the undead dragon. The duo managed to release the demon essence's hold on Tirrs and slew it, one of M's attacks causing bits of the gnoll's soul that the demon consumed to be released. Unfortunately, M was too weak to do another ritual, so they had to postpone the exorcism for Hawk. The next day, the group began the transplant of Alraune, the plant lady. The dice gods were really unhappy with us during that, and the group that moved her fumbled a lot, but eventually got her into the farm after much trouble. Bleddyn was there, but mocks the movers when she could have easily used her nature walk to move the Alraune all by herself once the deed was done. Hawk then lead a group of kobolds to a nearby volcano along with Jiklok who naturewalk'ed them there, where they discovered a ruined kobold redscale aspect temple, which used to worship the god Pyrit before it was burnt down by the flames of "The Bright Ones", as they went prospecting for ores. The kobolds managed to mine up a good supply of "Pyrit's blood" before the party had to flee from giant salamanders that swam in the lava lakes in the caves. Meanwhile, the Lizardman, Arrachoon, was exploring the lakes around the town, and discovered an underwater kobold aspect temple, this one is for the bluescale god Hydrix. Unfortunately, the dice gods were not friendly with the encounter roll, making him encounter a nightmare level creature, a Jellyfish lady. Arrachoon only escaped with his life due to the jellyfish lady forgetting what she wanted to do with him, allowing him to slip free of her grasp, though the venom did a number on him anyway. Once he recovered, he went back to the lake, encountering a patrol of non-humans, who were fortunately friendly to the Lizardman. Unfortunately, as he was on the way back to town to inform them of the friendlies, a megalodon appeared, and took a nip out of the lizardman before getting distracted by fishes and swam away. Hawk got his demon exorcised as well (Kinda wrote this part later than the first segment) , almost at the cost of the air guardian Li's life. There were a whole bunch of other adventures, like Arrachoon attacking a transport vessel which was headed to Steamspire, the city where the arena is, and few interactions between characters. Anna, my arachne character who's main objective is to bring back her species from extinction, has another baby even before the first one she had here hatches. Jigs, Anna's child from a slime as a father, and Solilia's child hatched, making a orange and red marbled looking slime, with a ying yang pattern core, they named the child Julia. Anna's first child here, the one she had with Jiklok, was visited by Vitia and given the powers of the Primal Flame, even before she hatched, Anna got freaked out by the runes that appeared on her child. I had a dose of mook feels the other day too, using another character who is searching for her master, Sin. She stumbled upon some bandits who were a day from retiring, leaning on the tree they hid their stash as they were going to turn it in and live peacefully. Shizuka Hane, my Living Sword character, was unfortunately cut down by the bandits, though they believed that she was a demon and not a living sword, so she still lives. She felt sorry for killing those bandits she did though, after watching them mourn the deaths of their friends. She was trying to go non-lethal, but they kinda forced her to kill when they surrounded her. Lastly, The expeditions to the Capital and Northern Mountains are underway. i believe Alexis and Amelia are heading to the mountains while Harte and her dragon mount Grak, Athena, one of Anna's children, Agnes, the cow girl, Mel, the messenger, and Drakk, a more intelligent gnoll, go off to the capital. Anyway, Questions. First relating to the music. 1: What are your thoughts on peeps cutting stuff from your video and making songs out of it? 2: Not so much a question, but relating to RPG stuff, maybe you could use these characters as playables with a slight modification. <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/oozes/mezlan" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/oozes/mezlan</a> <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/oozes/apallie" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/oozes/apallie</a> 3: From Bro If a character consistently rolls critical failures, should I let them die to appease the fumble demon? 4: From Jiklok "What is your policy on the many flavors of gatorade and would it be practical for an alchemist to call it a 'slow use recovery' potion of sorts?" Anyway, that is all for now, thanks for your hard work, Raocow, and may the next year be great for us all~! PS: If anyone here is interested in the RP, i can link you the RP archive if you message me. Hawk is thinking of getting more players too, so ya....

Last thing of 2016, it sure happened fast.

Which would win in a fight, a fully grown Kodiak bear or a fully grown Silverback gorilla? 1b. Which would win, raocow vs the World? 2. Being that you were completely self employed this year, I guess that means that you'll owe taxes this year (if it also works like that in Canada). 3. WHO DARES TO TRY TO STOP THE TIME BOMB!? 4.

Donkey Kong 94? What is this, some kind of bootleg knock-off of Donkey Kong 64!? Gameboy Donkey Kong was actually a game I wanted to suggest during the last Patapon vote (alongside the DK Country trilogy), I just didn't remember until after! So I'm pleased to see it anyway. You might want to consider Mario Vs. Donkey Kong for GBA sometime if you want more, because it's more or less a more-'modern' take on the same concept and mechanics and such (and the cutscenes are surprisingly hilarious, hard to tell if it's intentional or not). Then the sequels went into some kind of Lemmings-like territory or something? Unfortunate. I'm quite late to the Christmas Advent party, but here is my gift of art! Hope you enjoy! This was done a bit earlier in the year: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14760273/Art/DemoSketchpage.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14760273/Art/DemoSketchpage.png</a> And this was done just last week: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14760273/Art/Siblings.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14760273/Art/Siblings.png</a> (I couldn't think of anything suitable to put in the middle, but if you have an idea I will gladly amend it!) Merry Christmas and best wishes to you in the new year, raocow. Thank you for your continued dedication in providing quality entertainment for all of us. That's all I can think of to say. Music yo, hope it's appropriately chill and festive: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln1pzz9l5p0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln1pzz9l5p0</a>So I guess RPG tales are a thing now? We started a D&amp;D (5th edition) group at my workplace a couple months ago when someone brought up the idea in casual conversation, so perhaps I should share our shenanigans as well. I've been wanting to play D&amp;D for some time, so I'm pretty pleased to have the opportunity. Our group is really large, and we had quite the ragtag gang of misfits! (Though it seems that some may have to drop out now, but that'll come later) Our leader is a half-elf Bard that believes he's the reincarnation of a great hero, and most of his songs tell the tales of how great he allegedly is. Being a character from a previous campaign, he's also starting a higher level than us and has already picked up some artifacts that give him once-a-day abilities to fly or turn invisible (fitting for a leader though, if you ask me). Then there's a dragonborn Paladin of Bahamut, who's perpetually super-serious and stone-faced and rarely speaks or emotes anything beyond her default stern glare; she doesn't really understand humor and apparently is likely to not get a joke made at her until about an hour later (her player also describes her as "the mom" of the group, having to keep everyone else out of trouble). We have two elf Rangers; the girl I think is a fairly standard Ranger (though had some mishaps that I'll cover later), and the guy is excellent at shooting things, but terrible at everything else you'd expect a Ranger to be good at. He also says his alignment is not just True Neutral, but "Meh"- he doesn't really care about much of anything, he's just along for the ride. Next is a former-pirate tiefling (demon-looking person, for those unaware) Fighter dual-wielding scimitars that's pretty convinced she's the best Fighter ever and drinks heavily all the time (loosely modeled after Jack Sparrow), and a street-urchin drow Rogue child that would rather kill everyone in their sleep than put up a fair fight, who's named herself Parfait, after the food she dreams of eating one day. With them is a half-orc Barbarian lady that's "the straight man" of the trio, somehow having gotten herself roped into keeping the two of them out of trouble and from running amuck. Being a drow (and a child), Parfait has trouble seeing or doing anything in daylight, so she's often riding on one of their shoulders to get around. We also have another tiefling, this one a Barbarian, but I never got to see her in action (though I'm fairly sure she's a "smash everything!" Barbarian). Probably my favorite character is an elderly dwarf Wizard noble named Jasper Cozypants (the DM tried to translate 'Cozypants' into Dwarven, but couldn't find any Dwarven translations so used German as a substitute, using 'Wohlig-hosen' as his best guess (I may have misspelled that). If anyone does refer to him as Jasper Wohlighosen though, he's quick to remind them that "uh, it's actually Cozypants, thanks"); he's a senile/creepy old man (old even by dwarf standards) that saw The Bucket List on Netflix and decided that he should leave his cushy noble life and go on an adventure before his time is up. You might be wondering how Netflix works in a medieval fantasy setting! Well, one heads down to the river ("the Stream", as it's called) and casts their net out into the water to try and catch these little creatures called 'Flicks', and in exchange for being released they use their illusion magic to tell you a story. He's also a self-proclaimed "party wizard" and has (almost?) no direct attack spells, primarily illusion/enchantment things like Minor Illusion, Mage Hand, Sleep, Tasha's Hideous Laughter; and Prestidigition especially is probably his most-used spell, since it can do 'party tricks' like making miniature fireworks or bursts of confetti, be used as a whoopie cushion, or flavor food for good or bad ("Oh, you're about to drink that fancy wine? Well, now it tastes like pizza"). His component pouch is also a fanny pack. My character I fear is the least-interesting of the group... I opted for a human Cleric to round out the group (since there are no other humans, and we're light on healing/spellcasting in general) and got REALLY lucky stat rolls; a 15, 10, two 13s, and two 16s, each boosted by 1 for being a human, giving me 14 Strength, 11 Dexterity, 17 Constitution, 16 Intelligence, 17 Wisdom, and 14 Charisma. Thus what came to mind was a pretty-boy prodigy that served diligently at the temple throughout his formative years and now has decided to set out on his own to travel throughout the land to help and guide others, and will prefer diplomacy over violence if it's an option (but can still smite fools when push comes to shove). Clearly this is the extent of my character-designing ability. He's also a Cleric of Bahamut so that he and the Paladin would have something in common. I made a draw: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14760273/Art/Luxis.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14760273/Art/Luxis.png</a> (Luxis, pronounced Loo-shis) Wow, sorry for taking up so much of your time, I didn't expect it to be that long. Hopefully I will be back next time to tell of the start of our misadventures so far. Once again, thanks for making quality videos every single day and taking the time to do Patapon videos for us too.

Formatting got all weird when I first submitted that, please re-copy it if you happened to already copy it before I fixed.

Hey there everyone, it’s questionable gum health (and the longest video you're probably gonna have this year, jesus hell god)! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5MN5RrZKRg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5MN5RrZKRg</a> So I just recently got my wisdom teeth extracted. They were startin’ to scrape against the side of my mouth, so I figured now’d be a good time to get them out of the way. I will now proceed to terrorize everyone by describing my operation and recovery period in loving, unnecessary detail. To start me off they applied sedation to a vein in my left hand. They tried to start with the right hand, but they couldn’t find a vein big and juicy enough to stick the needle into. Fell asleep pretty quickly after that, and after I woke up they walked me over to a couch with a TV and asked what I wanted to watch while flicking through Netflix. I saw that Sherlock was on there and I’d gotten a fair dose of Sir Britishname Complicated when I saw Doctor Strange earlier that week, so I sorta went “that thing, why not”. It was decent for the few minutes I saw of it before my dad drove me back home, and after I got back I’ve been going through the first season on and off. They told me that I’d be off-balance and loopy and probably not able to walk that well while on the numbing meds, but honestly I was way more coherent than I thought I’d be. First two days were gauze and blood ALL OVER THE PLACE, as well as a home-made ice bag wrapped around my head to ease the swelling. Antibiotics three times a day, oxycodone every 4 to 6 hours, and nausea meds, with meals, nothin’ but puddin’ and yogurt and tomato soup with milk! The most lactose of recovery periods~. Third day and fourth day, I could upgrade to chewier but still soft foods, like macaroni and cheese! This lactose hell continued onward. The weekend after my operation, I could eat most foods again, but crunchy and sticky foods were still out of my reach. Since I wasn’t bedridden anymore for the most part, and I wanted to do things outside the house, my dad and I actually went to see movies over the week following my teeth getting yanked out. First movie we went to see was Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. We tried a local theatre that we’d recently heard of that sold $6 tickets everyday. Went in and the seats were SUPER nice, all of them were recliners with cupholders. You pulled up a lever and a footrest would pop up, and you could just lean wayyyy back and watch some movies, it was pretty great. Movie was alright too, it was pretty breathtaking in the sheer spectacle of it all, though it kinda had problems with tone. As in, one moment you’re all “whoooooooa look at those neato beasties” and the next you’re violently swung towards “JESUS CHRIST EVERYTHING IS DEPRESSING MAN *LOUD SOBS*”. Also the action is savage as heck, these wizard dudes are really tryin’ to freakin’ KILL each other, man! And then the day after that we saw Rogue One at our usual theater where there were slightly less reclining seats and no footrests, but you could order in food and drinks to eat and drink during the movie, and you had little tables in front of you to put the food on, it was VERY comfortable. Overall Rouge One was the best movie about a completely Foregone Conclusion that I’ve seen this year, and I’m sorry that your viewing experience was apparently spoiled by trash poverty-level theatre seats. Was it one of those fold-up seats that you had to keep down with your bum, and then if you ever went to the bathroom or got some popcorn you had to put it down AGAIN? Those were the WORST. And now, on this Monday the 26th, it turns out the dentists fucked up and only removed part of my wisdom tooth on the upper left corner of my mouth. I can feel it poking out at the corner and in the center of the gums where my tooth once was. So I’m probably gonna need to get THAT taken out, too, and that means another day or so of blood and gauze and more healing! YAYYYYYYY~. And because of all this, I wanted to ask, what would be your most traumatic oral pain experience? Any botched medical treatments? And what were the absolute worst theatre seats you’ve ever had the displeasure of laying your rear upon? Also hey why don’t you look at this? Gonna put down another music first cause I’d be shocked if that first track was still playin’! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf0ytNiHXP0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf0ytNiHXP0</a> <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-internet-essential-service-1.3906664" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-internet-essential-service-1.3906664</a> Happy Holidays to you, Mr the Cow! And may 2017 not suck as much as 2016 did! (oh god does this count as part of the Advent Christmas postgame I have no more moneys)

Hope you had a good Christmas, raocow! Music Festival: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKOJbeymd4M" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKOJbeymd4M</a> Here's Part 2 of my high school French story from last time about Dylan (now canonically Die-lan in my head). Side question: did you ever read anything by Roald Dahl? He did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG (Big Friendly Giant), The Witches and other children's stories/poems with generally dark material wrapped up in a happy-looking package. He was definitely my favorite to read as a child, which might be why this came out as a fairly dark kids' book. (Summary of Part 1: Everyone hates this kid Dylan Moore but he thinks they love him and doesn't understand when they throw stuff at him. The townsfolk send him out in the woods to ask why, but really to get murdered by a serial killing bishop.) Avec L’Évêque (Deuxième partie de trois) par Olivier Salade Dylan a chanté joyeuxment pendant qu’il sautait par la forêt sombre et il arrivait à la maison de l’évêque. Il a dansé par la cimetière et les toiles d’araignée avant qu’il a crié, "Bonjour! Je m’appelle Dylan Moore! Pourquoi est-ce que tout le monde ont jeté de choses à moi, l’évêque?" Un grand homme menaçent a ouvert la porte et a dit, "Peut-être c’est parce que tu cries trop fort dans leur jardins. Va-t-en!" Dylan a clignoté et a demandé, "Vous êtes l’évêque, vieil homme?" L’homme a ressemblé à un prisonnier. "Non, je suis Monsieur Eveque. Monsieur Nicolas Eveque. Et je ne suis pas vieux!" Dylan était stupéfié. "Et vous êtes celui qui tue tous les enfants dans ma ville?" "Je ne les tue pas. Je les vends au cirque parce qu’ils sont ennuyeux." Il arrête pour un moment, et a continué, "Mais ils n’étaient rien comme vous." "Pourquoi tu les vends au cirque?" Dylan a demandé. "Parce que leur parents sont ennuyeux aussi, mais sans enfants ils restent tranquilles. Les idiots comme vous sont pourquoi je suis un hermite." M. Eveque a ri. Dylan a secoué sa tête et a dit, "M. Eveque, pourquoi est-ce que tout le monde ont jeté des choses à moi aujourd-hui? Je n’ai rien fait à eux! Vraiment! Dites-moi, s’il vous plaît! S’il vous plaît!" M. Eveque a regardé Dylan d’un œil mauvais, et a sifflé, "Vous allez faire un grand boulet de canon humaine, Dylan." Fâché, Dylan a commencé à crier. M. Eveque a mis ses mains sur ses oreilles et a dit, "Arrêt! Arrêt! C’est une blague! Je vous dirai!" Il a dégagé sa gorge et a dit, "Vous êtes trop insousiant, Dylan. Vous devez vous lever pour vous-même. Puis, tout le monde ne vous détestera pas tellement." Dylan a haleté. Il a demandé, "Vraiment?" "Non," M. Eveque a repondu. "Va-t’en maintenant." Dylan a embracé M. Eveque et a crié, "Merci, merci, l’évêque Eveque! Vous êtes très gentil et très intelligent! Je veux rester ici pour toujours!" M. Eveque a crié, "Non!" Il a déchiré Dylan de son corps et a continué, "Je ne suis pas l’évêque! Laissez-moi seul!" Il a ouvert la porte et a jeté Dylan dehors. "Va-t’en!" Dylan s’est levé et a dit, "Au revoir, l’évêque Eveque! Voyez-vous demain!" M. Eveque, dans sa maison, a gémi, et Dylan a tourné et a laissé la cimetière. There were some really crappy MS Paint drawings that went along with these stories but I'll save everyone the pain because it's the holidays. Happy soon-to-be (2016 + 1 = x), raocow, and may it be full of more good-natured math ribbing.
