Early in January 2023, the cast and crew of Worlds Beyond Number gathered to record what was to be a public "Welcome" message for the main podcast feed, to explain Worlds Beyond Number for newcomers and fans alike. Instead: the cast dropped all artifice and immediately transformed into disgusting gremlins who did not produce one SINGLE MINUTE of audio that we could ever...ever...show to the public. But comrades. This is not the public. THIS is the Fireside. Hail, and well met.We kindly ask that you1) Please not share this with the public, either in whole or as excerpts. This is for you and your fellow patrons alone.2) The cast gets a LOT of details wrong about our release schedule for the next few weeks. Repeatedly. Please don't make any financial or scheduling decisions based on their confused and rotten counsel.Don't worry too much about the upcoming release schedule. Here's the gist: every week you're gonna hear some previews, and then on March 1, the main show starts for the public and you get the Children's Adventure here. It's gonna be great, don't worry about it too much. And then after that? Ooh doggie, you're in for a good time. We are truly glad to have you here by the Fireside. Skooch in.

Sophie

Catrick

Coup crew reppin' omg I'm so excited to listen!!

Jesse Massaro

Wow, I'm so glad to have this.... Abrea just said some really interesting ideas behind the setting and then many toes.

Heather

Brennan, and anyone else curious if you Google citrus scale fanfiction you can find out what lemon means in this context.

Christopher H.

Thank you for going off the rails, pretty much, immediately. I love this energy.

Maxwell Medford

I thought you were kidding when you said 'immediately turns into gremlins' but nO...Y'ALL MAKE PROMISES AND KEEP THEM...IT'S STILL GOING AS I TYPE THIS...OH MY GAWD...IT'S INCREDIBLE...I'M SMILING SO HARD RIGHT NOW.

sam z

i was here on opening day

StWindsor

The spicy 🍋 lol

Lacaille

Glad to be part of the Coup Crew 💖🫡

Evan

Aabria, you may not like gluing moss to your face, but it looked great. I don't know if you think the juice was worth the squeeze, but it was a great aesthetic, especially in combination with all the other scenery.

Lacaille

Serious binyous here

McTaggard

The chaos is so strong. I has a happy.

McTaggard

Coup crew for life!

Tori Wilcox

The lemon thing is killing me

Rita Amber

So excited it's finally here!

i'm begging absolutely everyone to never ever explain what lemon is to brennan

Lacaille

Ending on Lou yelling “fuck you!” to Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries is PEAK

Maggie

Lemon coup crew what’s up

Oz

Gods, I knew this was going to be the energy, but I had NO idea how wild we were gonna get straight out the gate.

Dub LVIII

Alexa, remind me to listen to this in the morning..

Ailyn

Okay I've GOTTA ask if that witch class is gonna get released for public use because a brennan lee mulligan homebrew class is so cool

Krissy Baker

Lou, I love you. Brennen, I love you but mostly when you are with Lou. I would comment on Aabria and Erica but I'm afraid I heard their voices and fainted dead away from an intense emotion that I can't describe and am afraid to examine too closely because the hero worship is so intense. I have just started listening to this and I'm ten minutes in and deeply in love with the podcast as well. Thank you for this effort; I am having to stop it and go back every three minutes because I'm laughing and missing bits. This is pretty fantastic shit.

mar

i'm genuinely upset that i'm a grown adult remembering the citrus scale

Witch of the Winding Path

I love the idea to listen to the childrens adventure. This will be so wholesome and amazing. I alway feel like, as a social worker too, you can learn so much through the past and the growing-up of a person through the eyes of themselves and I‘m so thankful that you let us be part of this important chapter of the Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One 💛

Camille Lanata

what a time to be alive! so excited to cry with y’all on the children’s adventure 🥲❤️

sydney yalshevec

Rumor has it if you leave a pile of brie, a lantern, and a hammer in them there hills you can summon yourself an illusive Taylor

Tessa Senger

Brennan and Lou not knowing what AO3 Lemon is is just the cherry on top of an amazing episode zero! Loved every bit of it and can’t wait to cry/laugh along with all of y’all!

OminousOwl

This was the best thing my ears have been blessed to listen to lmao HERES TO A NEW ERA

Deirdre Aldridge-Pope

Disgusting gremlins is right! Made me feel right at home. 😊💜

Jordan Mantle

I shan't worry too much about how excited I am for this.

Dr. Wekk

oh man calling a fanfic a 'lemon' takes me straight back to like, 2004.

Kenny

I’m just glad to be here. And to now know what a spicy lemon is.

Chris Neal

'STOP CALLING ME A MEXICAN GENTLEMAN' - the sheer intensity

Joshua Vern

I'm so glad Brennan came from Mexico to record this podcast

Morgana Evenstar

This is a dream come true! Thank you for sharing your joy with us ❤️

Plant Sugar

Feels good to be part of the coup crew--I can't wait for more of this!!!

Ethan Horn

Quiddie is already my hero. One of my players recently compared me to her and I thought that was the kindest thing I have ever heard anyone ever say to me in my entire life. The pure elation I felt in that moment however cannot compare to the idea of having literally four of the greatest RPers in the world together doing this. I am beyond happy to give whatever I have to just get to be a part of it. Thank you.

August D.

So excited to know who else ran to Aabria’s IG to find out when she got her dog.

Safa Ashkan

I love how Lou introduces Aabria as playing in LA By Night when she wasn't in it and then forgets to say that Erika is mostly known from LA By Night 😂

Leah

this. this is the content i need.

Luke

This was chaotic from start to finish. I’ve always wanted a long, sprawling adventure from each of these magnificent people!

Chris Tribble

Very excited to learn more about the build for Ame and Eursulon

Sean Scott

I just wanna say I have a minor surgery tomorrow I was extremely nervous for and this hour of chaos was much needed. I got tears from laughing and I am so excited to hear more from this group. Love this love y'all.

Kevin

Oh yeah it’s all coming together

Basia

Brennan and Lou not knowing what lemons mean gave me full flashbacks.

Mr_OwlBear

So good. Excellent start. 2 OwlBear thumbs way up 👍👍

booksherpa

Good luck with the surgery!

Kelly McKew

This is absolutely perfect, I'm 2 minutes in

Kevin

Oh yeah it’s all coming together

LazyCon Gaming

I cannot wait for these campaigns. Though I do hope they use good microphones for the actual podcast. It sounds like they're on webcam mics and I'm flashing back to the horrors of D20 remote sessions. I can't do a zoom campaign in audio form lol

디시 Disi

This is just so delightful.

Jake the Cake

I nearly died of laughter during the first 5 minutes

Dorothy Waskow

I’m not even 5 minutes into this and it’s UNHINGED and I’m here for it

thunk

This is so fun so far :)) Thanks for including the transcript also gang!

theelizabethjoy

I'm sitting at work trying to maintain some semblance of calm .... I lost it 30 seconds in.

Kristian Romero

I Love this so much but wondering if patrons will get access to the Witch class? Because as soon as they mentioned it was custom I IMMEDIATELY WANTED IT.

Jacob Odom

I just want to vindicate Aabria, I totally did listen to this while driving

Fernathan

i knew brennan was a bathtub eater, he just gives off that energy

steve

I'm 1000% ready to dedicate my life to this for years to come.

Kyle Richardson

Any plans to release the Witch Class to patrons?

Donnie K

Wow. Brennan truly undersold it when he said "lightly unhinged."

Cait Batchelor

The amount of joy this gives me. Thank you all for being who you are, and especially thank you Lou, Aabria, and Erica for being there to yell loudly at Brennan in my stead

Angel Mae

I am so excited :'))

Michael Johnson

The beautiful chaos that is this group *chef's kiss*

Anna George

Brennan and Lou, a lemon is a smut fanfic with varying degrees of actual plot. A cornerstone of exploratory content for many nerd girls.

Gates Councilor

"The idea of not having to glue moss to my face before we play a game is very exciting." - A.I. It saddens me that I can't ever share these words of wisdom with the world at large, but man, am I excited for all of the chaos to come.

FelisLusia

Hear me out. All participants and listeners should be in their own kiddie wading pools for Lou's game.

Haley

Literally blasting this on the jammed (10)5 and had my catalytic converter stolen last month - did not expect my new favorite fantasy podcast to call out my mundanity this hard this early lol

Chris Neal

Everybody's dying to know - did you meet up at Brennan's for food or go to Denny's?

Geek Peek

I love you all! I'm so happy to be here at the beginning! <3

Radu

Will you ever share the Witch class rules? It sounds really cool!

Lisa H

Looove that M Veselak contributed! Everyone play Wickedness PLEASE

Drew!

Look up the first movie to ever use Fortunate Son in a Vietnam war setting. It's going to break your brain. It happened way later than everyone thinks.

Jarvis

Absolutely hilarious. Love the vibes, and I'm excited for the adventure :)

Stephanie Mazzeo

I'm only 5 minutes in but the chaos itself has me SOLD!!!

Takodana Trader

I love the idea of The Children’s Adventure as a way to work through character creation and all the things that happen before we ever meet our adventurers…before we ever hit Session 1. Many of us players typically don’t have a chance to do that when we play through campaigns and most backstories are blurbs we explain that might be woven into the story, but to have the opportunity to build characters as they grow up is brilliant. I can’t wait to hear all of the character beginnings because I think it would be something super cool for other campaigns to incorporate.

Evan Ackley

Honestly? Incredible. Fuck. Me. Up.

To All The Men I've Tolerated Before

It is so inspiring to hear how long this has been in the works and makes me that much happier that this group gets to do it!

ThoriumLite

So excited and this was amazing fireside, thanks!

Becky Dodd

Ahh, what a perfect outro....couldn't be better, really. True friendship right there. :)

Aabria Iyengar

Oh, please believe I absolutely LOVED IT! I love doing the *most* but it’s also nice to have some good good garbage girl time too!

Jadeous

Absolutely dying laughing, thank you all for making this a thing!!

Sam Taz

Loving this energy SO MUCH

Cael

Beautiful.

Lin-Z

"Hey Brennan...?" "WHAT?" ".. FUCK YOU" fantastic 👏🏽 👌🏽 ✨️

Bee Ami

The intro was incredible I was like “Oh it’s so cute and soft” and then Brennan just went “What.” and they started fighting each other and I just burst out laughing

Canid Duality

Finished NADDpod's mixbag yesterday and it's their 5 year anniversary. Now today blessed with this pod and its content at its inaugural day.

Skye

"THE MEXICAN GENTLEMAN!" "STOP SAYING THAT!"

Trumpetmeri

positively unhinged, 10/10

Julia Whitmore

First 5 minutes alone made getting a Patreon worth it

Sorrell Oberon

Will the witch class be posted anywhere? :D

Paxicon

Oh my god, my four favorite actual-play performers, collaborating... my 90 minute commute just got exciting!

Maia Selkirk

I'm desperate to know what Brennan thought a halter top was

ArcadeGoblin

This is beyond awesome, glorious, hilarious, and overall a wonderful time! Great work guys you did awesome with this content! ^-^

bj cox

The Mexican gentleman….😂

AJ Jenn

UGH THIS WAS AMAZING. I'm already excited for all the adventures. I've been wanting to do something similar so so bad. And this gave me the inspiration to do so. Thank you, friends!

kat singer

i've been listening to this while walking around my college campus & ppl must think i'm nuts bc im cackling to myself sm

Eli Hazel

This is genuinely so exciting, a podcast was the perfect choice for this

Garrick McRitchie

Is it possible to get a link to where the witch class referenced in the ep can be found?

The Seasonal Goblin

I'm like crying a little bit. Yall are so damn wholesome and awesome.

Christa Mixtape

Thank you so much for transcripts!!! This means the world to me. <3

Julian

DROP THE WITCH STAT BLOCK pwetty pwease 🥺🥺

Nat20Wife

The back mouth returns! Hahaha

Nicole Rodgers

Tabletop is 73% sitting and snacking, so sweatpants are always appropriate attire. 💯

Alix Irwin

This feels like hanging out with the best friends I've never met, thank you all so much for sharing this with us. Excited to be along for the ride!

Nat20Wife

How did Aabria end up on D20? I feel like we missed a piece of the story where she joined this insanity

toomanyschwas

Lemon is one of several terms used in the olden days* to describe the level of smut in a work of fanfiction. Lemon is explicit, lime is not explicit but still mature. It's the citrus scale. *Olden days which I saw. I say this with deep fondness.

Jacob Trost

Can I just give a shoutout to Taylor for his hilarious and very personalized voice in these posts? I laughed hard at "their confused and rotten counsel."

John Lee

So excited for what is to come

Ed Erickson

Can't wait to jump into this!

Travis Hopkins

…..Cyberpunk Watership Down….that sounds incredible…..

Wilson Jones

Finally a way to be a Patron of Brennan! Take my money!

Amy

I really, really, really, really appreciate that you have transcripts attached. It's gonna make an already great thing even better for me

Harrison Edwards

the audio cut from lou talking about "welcome to the jungle" to CCR's "run through the jungle" was worth the monthly subscription fee alone

Jack

Very likely the best 5 dollars I've ever spent. I cannot wait to listen to these legends play some dnd!

Anna K

"Stop saying Mexican Gentleman!" had me cackling XD

KRC

The jheri curl conversation almost ended me🤣

Mallorie Mize

If you ever want to practice your will power, just listen to this while you have to be perfectly quiet because your roommate is streaming not 10 feet away. I stopped breathing so I wouldn't laugh. Brennan's intro from Lou just got me.

Leah S.

Any chance you can post the witch class somewhere? That sounds awesome! So excited for this.

George Elliott

I’m glad I was able to help support this! I’m looking forward to more!

Conner Scott

22:00 Is the natural evolution of hot tub streamers.

Elle

can i just say... so blessed that there's a transcript for this. my HOH ass loves the level of accessibility provided

Goat

My ADHD followed this perfectly

Mariel Reynolds

I just snorted at "pan-sexual gremlin" Like, LOUDLY snorted.

Malister King

I actually was blasting this out my car windows down on the way to work

Sarah Quisenberry

This was so chaotic and I loved every minute of it. You can take all my money as long as you give me more content like this.

Malu Bresser

erika is the pansexual gremlin representation we deserve

hector angulo

I could legit see this party just chilling and chopping it up! Real life friends making a story happen! You guys and gals crack me up!

Kendall MacKay

I listened to this in the car & felt profoundly called out lol

Haley Nelson

Thank you so much for this birthday 🎁 😂 listening to this made my day

emjaybee_3

Pulling a different CCR song was a great joke, Taylor. Run through the jungle is the perfect blend of what Lou was thinking and what Brennan suggested.

g-unit0301

How do I watch the childrens episode?

Steven Lamoureux

This was FANTASTIC. I'm immediately excited to subscribe to this for the rest of my natural and possibly unnatural life.

syftr

It's coming out March 1st, same day as episode 1 of the main campaign. But each week we'll be getting one of the previews for each character

KO

degenerates for life bb

Nicholas Joldersma

LMAO, the transcript reads like it was written by an AI. It's so good!

Daniel Richardson

For anyone who wants to maybe... hear it again... Erika does "the good voice" as Aabria calls it at 26:22. You're welcome!

Megs

SCREAAAAMING at the ‘spicy lemon on AO3’ and Brennan and Lou not knowing what’s happening 🤣

GabDrako

I am not explaining to Brennan what a lemon is 😅😅😅

Dre W.

I really hope they play Kids on Bikes or Teens in Space!

Robert Z. Real

First 60 seconds had me laughing. XD already a well spent 5 dollars. 💕🤙

Uly A O

Truly it's the best to read the transcript as you hear it lol

QueenViolet

idk how much you guys were joking about cyberfalcons but I would absolutely die for an Erika-ran cyberpunk game

Ben Cairns

This is fabulous, and I like it very much. Suspiciously devoid of borderline ASMR of Brennan chewing almonds too close to the mic tho. Expecting some exclusive bonus content 🌰🥜

Aiden

I heart this so much. You humans have gotten me through some very hard times in my life just by being your awesome self's and doing the things you love. Your joy and passion shines through everything you do together. Thank you

Mike Chapman

Keeping this out of the main feed was the right move. Not saying it wasn't very enjoyable, but it is is best shared with people whose money you already have.

Arielle Gingold

Super excited for the actual pod but holy cow the unfiltered sentimentality and the cannot-stop-cackling-and giggling bits are also very much what I need more regularly in my life so THANK YOU all for this gift (yes, even though I’m paying for it, still a gift)

Cait Batchelor

Ira your ass is glass needs to be a shirt

Teenie

The way I could listen to them talk about anything scared me (but also so not ready for the masterclass of storytelling we are about to get on a regular basis and for YEARS 😭)

christie botos

Being fair, I also didn’t know and still don’t know what a spicy lemon or AO3 is

KaffinatedWitch

Thanks for sharing this with us so for an hour I can feel like I'm part of your insanely cool friendship ♥️

FooldiverDX

First 40 seconds; chef's kiss

Emily Woodbeck

I just love all of you so much, this is so fantastic and hilarious, but also filled with genuine tidbits about ttrpgs the not only got me excited about the campaign, but amped me up for working on my own games and characters

Joseph Flores

I love Lou soo much and his laugh always brightens my day!!!

Joseph Flores

Brennan’s Spanish skills! ❤️

Ciaran Chatwin

Is there going to be a way to see the Witch class in case we want to add it to our own campaigns?

Amanda Butler

I don't know WHAT I just listened to. All I remember is Erika doing "the voice"

Emily Colgan

AO3 = archive of our own, the most popular fanfiction site. spicy lemon = ancient fandom speak for a smutty/porn fanfic.

Lady Land Puma

Right out the gate - completely unhinged, and I'm here for it.

Emily Colgan

it's so amazing to learn how long this has been brewing in y'all's brains. i really can't wait for what's coming.

Helen Hnin Oo Lwin

AO3 and spicy lemon conversation made me feel so seen. I love y'all.

Haley Anne

This is chaos perfection.

Jenn Diaz

I can't wait for more! Eat the rich!

Millie

already so beautiful

mguin

Did Eika say "mendicant ronin"? Because that was beautiful.

Meg Hueing

Saaame! lol Shot me write back to my fanfic writing days on livejournal.

Becca_rebaker

I was on the 5 south sitting in commuter traffic listening to this. 🤣 But it was a crash!

netrom09

This is the most insane and amazing podcast I have ever experienced, and I am already addicted for more.

Sammie Ryan

I'm so beyond excited I can't even begin to imagine how fun this journey is going to be.

Parker Payne

*Genuine sentimentality and honesty from Aabria* Brennan: now THAT has monetary value baybee

Alex Kovalenko

So happy to be here from the beginning :)

Schruka

It truly feels like sitting around a campfire with all of you and I love you very much for inviting us to share thesespecial beginnings with you <3

Jordan

All of my favorite people all in one podcast. Please take all of my money

Cat Loughlin

Woooot!! So excited for this

Pasquale Adamo

So happy to hear the fireside chats. You can really hear the love and excitement you all have for this. Super excited to hear more from my four favourite TTRPG people!!

Brendon the Brewbarian

The Misfits and Magic game will go down as one of the best games I've ever seen.

Troy Lowrance

This makes much more sense once I started listening to this.

Gidgetech

'if you know, you know' oh, I Know

mikemonk

I need to know everything about the witch class!!!!!

Genevra Brown

I can't be the only one who dearly wants to find Erika on Ao3 now. :D

FoxtrotUniform

I'm already very happy that this is the first Patreon I've supported. Can't wait for the series to start!

Seer

I’m so hype for every last second of this

prettyfaroutman

I was stuck at a light on La Cienega when Brennan said "if you're just joining us..." and then I opened my window to give some money to somebody who needed it, so they got to hear a little snippet. It felt right :D

emma

this made me laugh multiple times, truly the best way to get me hyped for future content

Bea Huff

beautiful! I can't wait to see what these amazing people create together!!

Andrew M

Folks, I need Lou to stop being so f'ing funny. I started listening to this on my way to the coffee store which is only 5 minutes away from me. I had to work really hard to not crash my car while Lou was doing those intros. 😂

Holger stenstrup

Goddamn, i haven't been so cozy, and laughing so hard in a long time 😅

Charles

I'm just picturing Lou Terminator-sprinting towards a bakery

NadiaX

This makes me so happy, just hearing you guys being so excited about this and your camaraderie as friends.

Melissa L Andrews

I want cyber punk Watership Down SO BADLY OMG PLEASE

Mistress Arbee

I am so here for this, im actually stood behind Brennan right now.

Aase

this alone was worth the price of admission

Karla Andrich

Honestly, a whole lot more of this would be amazing too, can't wait for behind the scenes stuff maybe? Just friends loving and roasting one another?

maybeimmac

joined Patreon for the wizard the witch and the wild one, stayed for Cyber Falcons

Mackenzie Young

I truly cannot believe that Brennan Lee Mulligan, King of the Internet, does not know what a "lemon" is. That said, I am SO excited for the stories from this crew.

V B

"Moth"-er fuckers?

Billdow00

Oh Erika, You sweet summer child. Just say superman curl.

Cannot express enough how much i treasure the feral energy chats like this, Im excited af for the campaign but if you can throw one of these in the mix every now and then I think I'll be a lifelong listener

pivot back to the billy club voice!

Chris

The transcript is a gift ♥️ thank you

This was so great, and the transcript is so excellent as well. So excited for more Fireside stuff.

Brennan's back mouth chomping on prosciutt will haunt my dreams for eternity

Kar_bear17

I swear I was already fully invested because this is my dream quartet but I’ve only gotten through the first 5min and I’m cackling with tears coming from my eyes. Love you guys and I’m so locked in and ready for what’s all to come

Jason Moran

it's so nice of big DND personalities like Lou, Erika and Aabria to give newbies like Mexican Gentleman a shot

Author Effie Jayne

Eating fries in a hot tub is the exact level of classy I was hoping to throw my money at <3

Bluepir

Had such a busy week since it first started up on Feb 1, and FINALLY I can listen to this sweet sweet music of hilarity <3 I'm already obsessed!

Mary Mitchell

Finally found the time to listen! I can't keep up with the podcasts I already listen to but here we are, and I'm so excited about it <3

Zac Nelson

SUPER HYPED to see y'all on the JoCo Cruise! Wanted to let y'all know that I'll be running a panel discussion on non-DnD RPGs and how to pick one that fits the needs of your table. Would love to see any or all of you there, and if you'd like to be on the panel, I can absolutely make that happen. If you'd like to contact me, my email is countzane@gmail.com. SOON!

Erika Abbas Hanna

The danger I forsee is that if I ever see any of you IRL, I’m not sure I’m going to be able to help myself from giving you a giant hug. So so so genuine and lovely. And hilarious AF

Patty Fawcett

Me trying not to ugly cry on the bus this morning next to a complete stranger

Joe J

Definitely not what a Jheri curl is, but Superman was created by a dude named Jerry so his little curl still technically be a Jerry curl 😂

Meg

“STOP SAYING MEXICAN GENTLEMAN” and “HAS EVERYONE BEEN IN A BATHTUB WITH BRENNAN BUT ME???” Have both already killed me, I can’t imagine surviving the rest of this

Jason Hosler

Fully in support of Erika running cyberfalcons!

Alina Rehkopf

I started listening to this while cooling down on the treadmill at the gym and the faces I was making to try and stop myself from bursting out laughing hysterically were truly insane. Y'all are a joy. 😆

Alyssa Robinson

Loving this so much already, but where is the picture of the kitty with so many toes?!?!

Jai Ignacio

Loving the kaos so much! Such a delight and now eagerly awaiting the 1st of March!

Rayne Bakcheious

Does anyone know how to find the children's adventure?

Jon Allanson

For the record, superman's curl is usually called a spit curl.

chronomerc

The children's adventure hasn't been released yet. I can't remember where i read it, but I'm pretty sure it's being released in March with the main campaign.

Rayne Bakcheious

Thanks! Glad I wasn't just unable to find it lol

Krystel Theuvenin

I have never been more puzzled than hearing "Brennan's back mouth."

Aaron Licht

This is some truly amazing stuff. I can't wait for the official release!

The Wizard Sillimanite

...and if you have not seen it, you really should watch/listen to the rest of that GM Round Table with Mercer and Aabriya. So good.

Renegade

the world is made up of only 2 types of people… there is the lemon club and the non lemon club

1man2hands

I really hope they do a Mage: The Ascension game, I know Brennan loves that game but I also have yet to find an actual play of it and I wanna hear some (also hoping they get lou a better mic ngl)

1man2hands

Ooh looking forward to whatever Aabria's cyberpunk bunnies and burrows becomes wherever that happens

Cyberpunk, gotta be one of my favorite genres ever

Grombotron

I will pay $50 a month for 6 to 10 rotating guest stars of Emily Axford, Brian Murphy, Zac and Caldwell Tanner. Emphasis on the Zac AND Caldwell

Jae

Was listening to this again and don't know how I missed the first time around that M Veselak collaborated on Ame's class design, M is brilliant, Wickedness is one of my top 5 favorite games

JustKevinManley

I love that the needle drop wasn’t any of the songs mentioned lol lol

Jen Wyrn

I am so happy to be here! I aspire to guest star on an episode. Lol

Lee Carnahan

Me: This is great, I'm going to listen to this while I work! Narrator Voice: They did not, in fact, get any work done.

Wesley Jones

Four of the most charismatic, creative, and c-hilarious people on the internet sitting in a room together. So excited for this journey.

Wesley Jones

Also, I can't think of a better group to try and recreate the *feeling* of a Ghibli movie.

Haley Alexander

Five minutes in and my face already hurts from smiling. So excited for this podcast! :D

Jacqueline

Huge thank you to whoever transcribed!! 😊

Arillusine

I came here to find this type of comment, because I also remember said olden days with great fondness, and I was not disappointed. Thank you!

Emma Cory

Simultaneously feeling so comforted and SO HYPED by this group's energy. Thanks for sharing your joy with us!

So excited for this podcast- looking forward to the rest of the previews with great anticipation for March 1st!

R. Wesley Nipper

OH! OH! INTERNET LORE TIME! Okay, so, Brennan? A "lemon" is (or was, back in the oughtie days of wild internet fandom subculture) a term that authors would use to label their fanfics as Sexually Explicit (usually slashfic, frequently one-shots, often m/m or f/f ships--or 1x2+4x3+13x6x9 fics, shoutout to my GW people). It was part of a now-obsolete system of Citrus Ratings that were widely understood but rarely explained-- like a hanky code for pre-social media internet queers. Lemon ("explicit sex definitely happens") and Lime ("sexual themes or implied sex") were the most common, with Grapefruit occasionally used for esoteric or extreme Lemon content. It's from the age of hand-coded shrine websites and fandom webrings, when there were few codified spaces to publish fanfiction online, and the ones that did exist didn't allow adult content, or went through famously catastrophic purges of adult content, like the LJ Strikethrough. Early Online Fandoms had a vast and wonderfully baffling lexicon just for categorizing and identifying fics, so potential readers could immediately parse the tone, genre, subject/s, level of canonicity, maturity, and authorial intent, purely based on a string of nonsense qualifiers. That taxonomy has largely fallen out of use and been replaced by much more streamlined platforms and tagging systems, but sometimes you can still find the terms out in the wild, such as on podcasts with hosts who are absolutely 1000% exactly the kind of people I went to highschool with.

Dean Browell

OMG I had no idea how much I needed this reminder of those early daze

Theth

BLM, LW, EI, AI... The four points of the star that guide free form TTRPG, live play, best of class in improv story telling... How lucky are we to experience this?

Coal Burns

Misfits and magic got me into Dimension 20, it’s great to get y’all around the table again and for long term too

Shawn Hanf

I thought Lou was thinking of "You're Going to Miss Me" by 13th Floor Elevators

Jarno Kolehmainen

Hi GANG! Loved this! Aabria, did you know Suvi is a Finnish female name and also a synonym for Summer?

Xanian Jamfalcon

Yall gotta peep Spheres5e if you're looking for 5e character building with freedom. Also "I'm gonna write a spicy lemon about that" almost made me throw my phone across the room while howling laughing

Ignacio Segura Montero

Just learned about this today, subscribed IMMEDIATELY and imagine my surprise and delight when I learned that Brennan has visited my country SEVERAL times!!!! So, hi from a HUGE Costa Rican fan!! Hope you’ve been here a lot because we made a good impression!!

Baba Yetu

So uh I'm new to audio podcasts and I downloaded an app that you can change the playback speech in. I've been crying on the floor laughing at listening to yall talk in a drunken cadence at 0.5x speed. It hurts

Sora

Aabrias dog being named after her character is really cool im so excited

Jen Peters

I know the likelihood of any of you seeing this comment is slim, but as someone running their first campaign on stream (after a couple one-shots, but very little in-person GMing, lot of playing on and off stream though) I really REALLY appreciate how candid y'all are about your fears and worries when it comes to running games. Aabria, I absolutely felt SEEN by your comment that you plan and worry and fret until about 20 minutes into game when everything slows down. Anyway, I know I get a real kick out of lovely comments when I catch them on anything I'm in, so I hope you do too and know that you made my life a little bit better today. Thank you <3

Crafted with Self Care

Y’all- the fuel this is giving to my parasocial friendship of theses amazing people! Ugh Repeats as a mantra “you don’t actually know them”

Snuggie the Goblin

Speaking of not knowing some thing; for the longest time I thought that a mullet was a medical condition. I thought it was some kind of weird skin condition or a growth because I would hear people say stuff like “eeew look at that guy’s mullet”

Madison

Watching on my girlfriend's first day driving to work in our brand new car, this is life! I am here at the beginning, incredibly grateful to go on this journey with you all. You possess some of the closest qualities of magic we can percieve in the real world.

Alicia

Wait. I’m just now joining. Can someone tell me what’s going on? 🤣

Lachlan Rowe

I enjoy how much audio texture and unacceptable content there is just 10 minutes into this patronage. Thank you.

TheLongCorgi

I'm listening to this again after finishing the Children's Campaign because I need a mental and emotional refresh. Good lord...

DMJB

Thank you all, so much.

Alexandra

I’m wondering how Brennan will be integrated later, if the three of them have characters so we’ll established in the Children’s Story…

Natasha

Oh I am listening to this after the most recent D20 teaser came out and am very much wondering if the “cyber punk watership down” is related to the new teaserrrrrrrr hmm

Carey Compton

You've done it. This is what the inside of my ADHD brain sounds like. This whole episode. 🤣🤣🤣😘

Carey Compton

If they all love each other and play ttrpgs together, is it called a polyhedral-cule? 🤔

RachelCrane

Honestly Brennan thinking a halter top is like a crop top because it 'halts' is the funniest thing

thequeercat

So mermaid pool party campaign next yeah?

Cian

Listening to this on headphones, it feels like I’m able to overhear other people’s imps of the perverse, to which my own imp applauds wildly. And that top shelf sincerity? Yes. Starting my binge session now.

The WSGF

Every time Brennan puts on his alternate personality voice, I can’t help. It think about peanut butter in pipes.

DepressedPossum

Hearing Brennan scream “STOP SAYING MEXICAN GENTLEMAN!!!” TWICE, less than 5 minutes in - cannot wait for more of this

2026-09-08 21:00 I know it will (hopefully) be quite a long time til this game is wrapping up and a new one begins but a suggestion for a TTRPG other than D&amp;D would be "Stars Without Number" its a space/sci-fi setting that could be different than the high fantasy of most people's TTRPG experiences.

DangerMcD

Perfect. Nailed it. I have no notes.

Endsong

Amazing.

Bat-Fran

It took me 2 months to get here but I realised I love you all so much it's foolish for me to not be. This is the most perfect intro I have ever heard.

Edgar Ritchie

I’m in the same boat. This is so good. I can’t wait to hear the rest.

Julia K.

I have scrolled all the way down to this post after finally listening to this on my podcast feed and I came here specifically to say that I understood the lemon reference and I laughed so hard.

Sara Tarnow

I joined this episode late even though I was the one blasting it from my car (you're welcome.) I appreciate all the fresh starts, some of us dissociate in traffic so it's nice to be welcomed back every time. Also Brennan as the token white boy saying "hootenanny" was everything. Thank you.

KennedyH

I CRIED laughing.

Kato68

I actually was subscribed since day one, but only now have the time to listen to all that's happened. I am not disappointed thus far, these four are hilarious without even trying

Samantha

Literally calling me out as I was listening to this Fireside Chat on my way home from work (AND on the 5 nonetheless!!!) in rush hour traffic 🥲 (But note that I do prefer headphones for the campaign eps if possible because the sound quality, audio mixing, and the score is incredible!) Everything has been absolutely incredible so far, and to say I’m emotionally invested is an understatement! Thank you for taking the time, no matter how long it took, to create and share this project with the world ❤️

Warlock

Same here, so happy to be listening finally

Manic Faye

This is completely unhinged 35 mins in and I love it so much already.

Natsuka

After listening to this episode, my podcast app has The Moth, This American Life, and Radiolab in my recommendations

Fearne Pérez

I fully thought y’all must have been friends forever listening to how well you all work with each other in the narrative - talk about right people right time ✨💕

Robin Hayward

Cyberpunk Watership Down trailer now on Dropout! Is this what you were talking about 😍

Abigail W

New to the Patreon. This is true total chaos and I love it! And love hearing that this is for the long haul 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Sanabadura

IS CYBERPUNK WATERSHIP DOWN BURROWS END???????????

Zak Goggins

just got my patreon sub this morning, crawling thru the archive now. I have on many occasion been that person blasting WBN on the 405, it's a good time🤣

cloudsfall

I love them so much. This is my first time using patreon, and this is so worth it.

Aisteach

People always suggest podcasts & audio books to me because of adhd stuff, but I have auditory processing issues so I don't do well with them. I love these folks so much, I'm taking a chance on it & spirits but I am dying from laughing so far.

TaeguKazu

Wow i love this team, love the energy and the full transparency, it feels so natural. Love it, love you \o/ Now my dream is to have a anime adaptation in 2-3 years, just because... Yes

Cur

I feel like I should mention that the next button doesn't work on the patreon app...

Titania Bird, Super Saiyan Goddess

Brennan: "I don't know what 'Spicy lemon on AO3' means." Erika and Aabria: "You know what to do! GET IN THE COMMENTS!"

macksalot

listening back to this after burrow's end and hearing aabria panic abt the "cyberpunk watership down" erika was talking about is sendinggggg me lol

Exgalliber

Joined today - happy to be here! ❤️

Gothshark

haute jester

Joshua Stephens

I don't know how I am a year + late to this, but the combination of these beautiful people makes me so incredibly happy!

Elician 🐟

a year late but so glad Brennan enjoyed his fries, saludos from Mexico 🍓

Steph

Listening for the first time during a drive north to portland, and truly the first traffic I hit on I5 was exactly when Brennan was speaking to the listener in traffic on the 5.

TimTam Tube

Happy to be here 1 year later!

Law the Fox

"And I'm Lou Wilson." LOU. YOU CAN'T KILL ME LIKE THIS.

Kyle Chapman

Now I'll never actually know where Lou came from.

Alyssa Landry

Coming in a year and a half late ... Can anyone link me to Erika's spicy lemon? Please & thank you.

The Wizard Sparrow

A am in love with this podcast. Just finished episode 30 last night and just realized there is a Fireside chat after each episode which I will be listening to for the next several weeks (waiting for season 2). FYI, this podcast sat in my library for a year (after receiving a snippet from TAZ). THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all your hard work.

Blaize Gordon

So glad to finally start my adventure through this podcast, I love you guys

Robin

I am gay for this. <3

moominmasha

i listened to everything till the end of arc 3 and only now, ONLY NOW I FIND THIS GOLD OMG AAAAA SO MUCH LOVE also live for pansexual gremlin

Zach K

Would of loved Mathew Lillard sorry Aabria

Morgana Evenstar

Will never get tired of Taylor swapping CCR in for GnR

Vanessa Seatang

Brennan: if you're just joining us now Me [2 years later with ADHD]: huh what? you called?

William Stevens

So happy to have found this/been pulled into this from your other wonderful work!!

Shayegerbomb

I'm so happy I signed up for this 💙

The Wizard Spwerm

I am so fucking happy I subscribed to this also I need to know about I’m da jokah honey (baby)

Taka Kauri

Catching up on all the older episodes, incredible stuff! Love your work

The Wizard Spwerm

Omggg the new gamechanger blew my goddamn mind the fucking jokah car 😭😭

Suzy Savage

I am pan for this. 😉 I mean, I’m pan anyway, but ESPECIALLY for this. 😝

Suzy Savage

HUGE thank you to the Redditor who gifted me a membership for a few months so I can dive into all this amazingness.

Valentine

Wow! This has me cogent, lucid, informed, and ready to take on this narrative podcast!

Toe

relistening to this on May 7, 2025 and hearing the earliest reference to Im da joker honey. the love and hilarity of this napkin doodle just sprinkled through out space and time

confusedtealseal

Im so late to this party but Im just thrilled to be here

The Witch of Words and Lore

I just have to say when Erika started talking about Japanese and Celtic animism in their mythologies, I was like, “This. This is why I am here.” So much wonderful care put into these characters and the world. With just enough pedantry about storytelling. It’s perfect for me.

Im Slightly

I have been a member from almost the start, just a couple episodes in, I think. But only just now caught up. This is just too much quality stuff, that I felt like I needed to listen to it at the right sort of time. And wow, it is so good. I just hope all the Patreon stuff stays on here.

Seth Ronalter

Love that coming into this years later we're just finishing up the first story. Feels like it's still just beginning.

Alice

Can't believe Erica is a tumblr user, absolutely incredible

Geo Wouters

Finding out that Brennan called something a halter top without actually knowing what it was makes me wonder if he actually knows what brocade is or if he just likes how that word sounds

the wizard Shrike

Long time patron, first time listener. Finally taking the time to sit down and start listening to this wonderful project. I'm so excited to enjoy the work and passion you all put into your stories. Hail, and well met.

yimyams

listening to this again years later, and couldnt breathe in the beginning 😭😭

BigBurnum

This is wonderful!!!

Saoirse

I love these weirdos. I think by the episode where the old woman throws Ame a lemon for good luck to find her lover on the front lines, Brennan has discovered the meaning of a lemon.

Elenie

Very late to the party. But at 5 mins 11 secs in, this is exactly the chaos I hoped for from this patreon. Thank you!! 🤩🤣💗

Ted

I’m way behind the times but can “Cyber Falcons” be a Lancer RPG game please? I’m thinking Voltron but maybe your stations in the combined robot make more sense.

Tyler

It all makes sense now I gotta go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu
