We recorded a Fireside Chat for the whole first chapter of WWW and posted it for the public, so they could taste but a morsel of the talkback joy normally exclusive to you, our Fireside Fam. Are we not generous in victory? Are we, the Fireside Community, not renowned for our beneficence, even as our power grows?

Sven the Scribe

Crackle crackle! And the CA episode they reference, regarding crying, is episode 5.

The-End

Yes yes yes! Favorite part of the week.

johanna

Loved the number of “and you’d know all about this if you subscribed to the patreon” it feels like I’ve actually done the readings for a class or something

geansai

So nice of Jonathan Venus to drop in for this fireside! Sad Lou couldn't make it as he was, in fact, saving the universe as we know it 😔

Xavier Gamboa

This was written by Mulligan, wasn't it?

Dawn

I'm pretty sure he was just circumventing the Americas

Monica Briggs

So many bits that the public need to get up to speed with.

Emma Runswick

Is this sections of the existing Fireside edited for public, or new?

Dawn

New

Natsuka

Brennan's comment about coming a place in a changed state reminds me of how NaddPod didn't see the Crick until after something was amiss. (Hopefully it's not verboten to make references to other actual play "firesides" here)

In the vein of not centering the world around the PCs, something I really like about the Monster of the Week game is it encourage you to write what would have happened without the PC's intervention. It definitely helps keep the story centered, rather than everything having apocalyptic odds. I've loved this story, so awesome to see y'all in more long-form stuff ❤️

Becca Newcombe

This was amazing, and as an actual accountant doing actual accounting while listening to this, I can be your spicy accountant that just yells at you for your snack budget

Meredith G

Ahoohoo and crackle crackle to the benevolent WBN crew👏🏻

Queerly Victorian

Taylor really can garner the same vibe sometimes. It definitely gives Brennan, but it also gives Taylor being on something

Matt Zofchak

Am I the only one concerned about the number of cookies Brennan is cooking per second? According to the Internet, there are about 1.2 x10^56 *atoms* in the solar system. The number of atoms in a cookie is hard to estimate, so I'm going to assume about 10^24 atoms per cookie. (Based on some very rough assumptions.) Brennan is cooking almost 23 x 10^51 cookies per second. Given this, I'm sorry to say that Brennan's cookie operation has likely already converted our entire solar system into cookies and is now busily consuming the rest of the galaxy. If you look in a mirror (which by now is just a highly reflective layer of cookies) you will see that you are really just a large stack of cookies yourself. This podcast is just the dream of a few cookies, wondering what could have been, if not for the madness of Brennan's cookie empire.

Top 3 1) Morrow 2 & 3) Morrow’s left and right cheek

Daniel Neville

MORROW TWERKING ON THE DERRICK!!!!! I need jt

M Smith

"An absolute unit of a grandmother." I would like to thank Aabria for speaking these words into existence.

Hex Sharpe

MORROW'S FIRST NAME IS GRAHAM BECAUSE HE'S THE JUICY WIZARD FROM TAZ BALANCE: MURDER ON THE ROCKPORT LIMITED

markiboi15

There's a scene in Adventure Time where Finn tells the Ice King to "Get outta here bubble butt!" And then Ice King runs away absolutely caked up and that's how I'm gonna imagine Morrow from now on.

lunarsummer

I can't believe Jonathan Venus said willy gallows would be sickly! Thems fighting words!! Mr. Venus I will fight you in a Dennys parking lot, BE READY 😤😂

Nathan Gold

uh scuse me, i have paid up my $5, where is the picture of erika crying plz? i need to add it to my gallery of people who can't help happy-crying (so i feel less alone).

Carrie Mook Bridgman

How can you do accounting while listening to this?!? Please go back and check your work. ;)

Becca Newcombe

I do remember distinctly being thankful that I listen to the first Fireside on my way to work and not while I was working, because it can be quite distracting I will admit. Also because I sound like a maniac cackling to myself at my desk, crying with laughter, because of ( insert name here ) and whatever crazy nonsense he said because Lou Wilson couldn't make it

Vice Versailles

It’s not up on YouTube anymore? Or perhaps it’s nation-locked, and us Australians are to be deprived!?

Rafael C

omg so true (crazy how well this example fits, "something's amiss at the crick" and all!)

Rafael C

Will Gallows probably has the baggiest, hollowest, driest dumpy known to mankind. The front though,,, I have my headcanons for that.... lets just say he was hung in more ways than one ;)

Aubrey

I wonder if Lou (or any of his stand-ins) would be interested in GMing a lil one shot… 👀👀

Lane Williams

It's absolute sacrilege that Finley didn't even make it into the top 4 DUMPERS!

varygoode

i'm in the US and i don't see it on their youtube either!

Jamie Cryptid Moth

I also liked the follow-up from Erika "the platonic ideal of a grandma"🥰

Jamie Cryptid Moth

I expected the comments to be full of who else we think has a juicy ass... I headcanon not human-form Naram but *Orima* in the top 5 for sure

CarpeBootium

Given the long-form nature of WWW do you think it may eventually become a series (animated or otherwise) like Vox Machina or The Mighty Nein?

Timothy Clark

Grandma Ren not having a top 4 dumper feels like a genuine oversight, because there is no planet that was not a satisfied woman all the way through her death.

Moosemade

We need Bayou Christ merch something fierce.

Cory

But there is also no universe where that woman couldn't get it regardless of dumper status.
