THE SUSPENSION FROM THE JUMP TAYLOR COME ONNNNN

ceeg

So punctual Taylor thank you for your service

Mariah Maxwell

I have been checking DAILY for a new episode! I’m so excited to listen!!

Sean Kelley

"Everything." Put everything on an episode? Like a bagel? This one's gonna be a doozy!

Ryan Schlichting

WOW that opening twist on the theme, I had to do a double take

Isabella Mazzone

It's 8:40 am in Italy, just in time for my morning walk to work, starting my brain before teaching!

Connor

Only good part about working night shift is I get to listen immediately

Connor

Is there/will we get a map of the citadel??

Freya

How does this show keep getting better???

Sil

... Gods damn it Taylor, we're not even 30 DAMN SECONDS IN 😭

WWMSudoku

"whether me being created to love baking is an abrugation of my free will" nice philosophy degree brennan

Al

Mister Callum's voice is so very close to Garthy O'Brien and I nearly cried.

AbsitInvidiaVerbo

How could you do this Do you have any idea how many fanarts of that challenge clam soup I'm gonna have to see when I'm scrolling through my medias in the morning? I am so upset I can't go somewhere and order this now

Erik Germani

Lou's ready to write the Zagat guide to Umora, he was making those eateries pop

Simon Mills

I straight up thought that Losario was about to burst into song ala Gaston. If there was a musical episode, I may actually die.

Simon Mills

Taylor, my man, I got huge Final Fantasy 9 vibes from the music this episode. Fantastic work. Incredibly evocative.

Erin Morehouse

At 43:52 I can’t make out what Brennan is saying in the flash back, it lasts about 40 seconds but i don’t want to miss even one word of this story 😊

ISAWziti

Right!?! That lingering note that remains and continues to leave the intro music hanging!! The dutch angle of musical discomfort 👀

Evan Ackley

43:40 Brennan is super echo-y and not able to be heard 👀👀

SparkAlli

I wondered this too! I figured out it’s a roughy summary of choice phasers from the convo Ame has with Grandmother Wren in episode 15, around 1:10:00. My best guess at each bit is:

SparkAlli

…a small group of self-deputised individuals within the leadership of the citadel…chasing which I believe they jokingly referred to as the League of Whispers dedicated to the downfall of the citadel from within…the corruption within the citadel…prolonged series of secret violences across Umora…Suvi was brought here because they thought they had more time…Steel has often asked me if I have any idea where Yorin was…I have my suspicions about him.

Incite Astrology and Tarot

Oh thank god! Now I can continue my regularly scheduled sobbing on my morning commute

Shreyas Joshi

This episode had such good music and world building. And damn you Brennan for making me hungry before bed

eve

In the first 30 seconds taylor has already outdone himself

A Kid From Kansas

RIGHT OFF THE BAT TAYLOR ALREADY WHAT THE HELL MAN

Nyctef

This episode was SO much fun and made me SO hungry! And I want to appreciate how nice it was to see Ame enjoy the citadel! I feel like it would have been super easy to go "as a witch I have to dislike the wizard place" (at least, that's the way I assumed it would go) but this was so much more fun

William Krise

oh my god I love Mr. Callum he is like my favorite thing ever holy shit (and I'm definitely going to take the concept of living spells for my world in some capacity thank you Mr. Brennan Lee Mulligan)

William Krise

yo nice work on the music with this one Taylor, got some FF12 lowtown vibes from the jaunty town music

peace k.

TAYLOR DROP THE CITADEL SOUNDTRACK

worldsbeyondnumber

Actually I think I might…pick it up, pick it up! [launches into ska cover of Rain Road]

Fraser Borland

Hey Taylor that bakery piece is beautiful, thank you

Eric Osborn

Every time anyone says "it's a..." my heart begs for them to finish with "winner baby".

Natasha Hedeker

I’m not crying you’re crying 😭💜

niv fecher

This is everything that I've ever hoped for and wanted and I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect these people🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I am a broken husk of a human

gazzafizza

The music cue at the beginning had me exclaiming "TAYLOR!!!" out loud in my car

Clarice Swingler

Just want to say the guy in charge of the underground fit pit, brennan pretty much described Tom Hardy in Bronson.

Conor Steinke

I can't listen it on the patreon app, no audio file in the post - is that a me problem or a patreon problem?

worldsbeyondnumber

The public episodes are hosted publicly, not on patreon, check out the instruction guide, pinned as our top post for more info on how to listen, or just click one of the top three links in the post above.

Space-Weather

This episode has made me SO HUNGRY

johanna

Man I wish I could draw so I could the the Citadel into visuals.

Conor Steinke

My bad, I thought I had access to episodes here but those were the fireside chats. Thanks for the prompt response

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I am so glad that with a long-form story, we have time for catching up and lovely nights out together. Enjoying the calm before the next storm.

LizzieExcellent

Damn Taylor that opening . I am in awe regularly by your talent you add so much to each episode and it is beyond my ability to express.

worldsbeyondnumber

If we can encourage everyone to watch Bronson, then we have done the work of The Lord. -t

crawdaddy

Please give us a shirt with “this is why we run”

Ron Ron

What tier do I have be on to make Losario my husband or be part of his polycule

Jules Vance

I have not finished this episode because I ration them when they come out so I can consume them twenty minutes at a time for a concentrated burst of seratonin when I’m having a bad day. It wouldn’t do to squander such a prescious resource.

Magali Bosmans

Not me being like 'say you want to talk robot ethics, brennan' during the whole Mr Callum moment Anyway can't wait to see if they'll explore some seedy magic cyberpunk bits of the citadel too

Alena Rose Solenne

I can't wait to finish work to listen to this. So excited!

Alena Rose Solenne

I just listen to them 3 times in a row. You have great restraint

Jules Vance

You know what, you’re right. I’m creating a false sense of scarcity. There’s enough meat here for several re listens!

Colin Carlton

“Wizards stay caffeinated all day” needs to be on a tshirt.

Brandon Carbaugh

I've watched enough Brennan Lee Mulligan campaigns to know we're approximately 8 episodes from Mr. Callum stepping out of the shadows during a tense showdown like "You know what else weighs less than five pounds?" and then raising a gun.

Brandon Carbaugh

I feel like you'd have to be really into absinthe and greco-roman wrestling.

Koi Boi Tracy

Steel really went “Your parrents were superspies”

Ron Ron

You see the guns I have! Suplex is my kink!

Beignet Gesserit

Don’t give the fox a magical eating disorder

LSky670

That would be incredible

LSky670

We would've gotten Sith Jar Jar if Brennan was in that writer's room.

LSky670

That clam dish sounds incredible

Cody Hasselbring

Everything is so good and nothing bad will ever happen to these sweeties again!!! On God!!!

Michael Munene

The sound design on this episode is nuts! The spacial echos for the illegal pit fighting space had me freaking out. Taylor!! You acoustic madman!!!

BahHumDoug

Absolute master class of a world building session. I’m blown away.

BahHumDoug

Please! I’ve been wanting Ame’s recipe for juk since the children’s adventure!

Heliks

Trivia for Brennan if he finds his way here sometime, but in describing the semi-transparent baker, that ability to see the outer rim while it gets more transparent toward the center of mass is called the Fresnel effect, named after a dude who made lenses for giant lighthouse lights!

Raine

Some real never going to die energy coming from the Citadel. Loving the ride but I know the shoe drop is going to be nasty.

Kurt Anderson

Changing the primary motif in the opening took me for a ride. Thank you so much for playing with my musical expectations, this is the best show I've heard or seen to in a long time. The world building is so organic, and the characters feel so lifelike. Thank you for your work everyone!

Lojaan

Suvi returning be like "introducing the strongest man in Silbury and the coma from Toma!"

Heliks

Did we also miss Suvie pivoting from the name Sky to Silence?

Joy Dertinger

Oh my GOD YOU READ MY MIND! SPECIFIC TERMS IN THE CITADEL?! COME ON, YOU HAVE TO GIVE US A LEXICON NOW!!!! Also I listened to this on my way to my gender clinic and man oh man it was just what I needed. Brought me to a whole other world and just…absolutely and incandescently beautiful.

superphoton

I think Silence is the person suvi is apprentice to? The archmage who we briefly saw in a really early episode

Joy Dertinger

Oh my goodness same here—that was so incredible, that hanging on, suspenseful, rising tension….SO GOOD

Cameron Kennedy

Missing that last note of the opening into that citedel theme was absolutely astounding Taylor you're godly

annemjw

The sound design this episode was just astonishing, you’ve outdone yourself Taylor! Between that and Brennan’s ability to live through location descriptions, the team adding to and picking up on cues - I want to visit the citadel so badly!

Heliks

Silence was also her mom's sobriquet.

Jennifer Sieben

The environmental sound effects both on the voices and just the ambient sounds were so good here!! Really brought out the cool worldbuilding I'm falling in love with.

Christie Joesbury

I don't know why but "How does Fox know how to gamble?" "Well... We've gambled before" is such a funny Lou improv moment 😂. I played out the scenario in my head and I need more gambling adventures with Fox.

Christie Joesbury

When is Suvi's court Marshall because that seems really important and ominous for such a fun episode.

Christie Joesbury

I agree we should use silent image to make positive or scary motivation for running. Running is not fun by itself.

Salvatore Testa

I'm going to assume all episodes will be this fun and cheerful henceforth.

Friday the Fierce

He has said that he most often uses his own natural speaking voice for bad guys and love interests and that we can take from that what we will…

Lauren

This is entirely too tangential to be a spoiler: How does Lou Wilson know the word "Haverford", which he misspeaks instead of "Haverward" (sp?)? Bc that's my tiny tiny liberal arts alma mater that only Quakers have heard of.

Stephen

I'll always love when the intro has a cool transition

Ren Challacombe

As I wheelchair user I will be stealing “it’s not a walk of shame because I’m not walking and I feel no shame” Also oh my god the intro music KILLED ME fucking hell Taylor is the real wizard on the podcast

Sune T. Sørensen

My immediate thought: On Parks & Rec, Aziz Ansari's character is called Tom Haverford. Lou is a comedy guy, maybe it's from there?

Bryn

This episode brought me so much joy. Thank you 🤍

Magali Bosmans

There's some whispers of a fan one on the discord :)

Joseph David Spence

Seems to me that they moved up Suvi’s Name Cloak ceremony to sweep it under the rug. The charges against Suvi won’t go through because her name literally won’t exist anymore except for a few people.

Cressida Ford

Does Taylor know he’s operating in like… the John Williams, Alexandre Desplat tier of scoring? Does he know? I need him to know!

De B

The YouTube video doesn't seem to be there. Or at least, not available to the public

Leo Burn'd

I really tried to take my time, listening in chunks... But now it's gone and it's only Wednesday! :')

mguin

Just a layered bouquet every time, a croissant filled with narrative treats

melanee

Sound mixing at the beginning gave me straight up CHILLS. Like mouth AGAPE 👏 👏 👏

bitterbaldguy

The Strongest Man in Toma would ABSOLUTELY start a Hash House Kennel at the Citadel (it's a drinking club with a running problem)

lunarsummer

The scream I scrumpt when the sound design made gallothopters fly past me!!! Me: "WHAT?!? *audible gasp of delight* WHAT?!?!?"

lunarsummer

TW: food, disordered eating I struggle with disordered eating (the starving kind), and descriptions of good food helps me actually feel hunger signals and get excited to eat, so high key thanks for an episode that helps save my life 😭❤️❤️❤️ Shoutout to anyone who's got the opposite issue though, I hope you're safe and taking care!

Morgana Evenstar

The combination of Brennan's words and Taylor's music is indecribably perfect. Also, I cannot begin to fathom why but I am firmly convinced that Steel killed Suvi's parents.

Abigail Rickabaugh

This episode made me accept that one day Taylor will be stolen from us to become an award winning film composer

Thermovore

As someone who has perfect hearing and is listening on noise cancel headphones, I couldn’t understand a word of what was said in the flashback moment around 44 minutes. I think the vocal effects were too strong. Otherwise amazing episode so far though!

worldsbeyondnumber

Ah yes, the vocals didn't export there. Thats been fixed and you can re-download to get the fixed file, though it's just a flashback to the info that was discussed in ep15, So you didn't miss anything new, sorry bout dat! -t

Noah

I really hope y'all went out to eat after recording this ep

Mirandur

Now I want a fully "fleshed" out new race/species option for character creation: Living spell.

Moira Goree

Same! It's such a unique idea for a character race

Yaseen abdul-malik

What dish would you three. Not your characters get to eat at the citadel?

Micah D Lord

All I have to say is TAYLOR. FREAKIN. MOORE. The music and ambient sound effect work were insane this episode.

Sasha Gabrielle Landau

Since the Sound and Music bonus ep I've paid a lot more attention to the sound design in this show, and it's been so cool to unlock what feels like a third dimension of appreciation for the show. This episode I listened to it twice; once to pay attention to the story, and the second time to pay attention to how the music told the story. Obviously this episode was an insane sonic painting of the Citadel, but my favorite tiny thing I noticed was when Suvi was calling their ride down to the surface and was looking back at her friends, there was a little warm piano riff playing. When she realized she'd hit the wrong button it dropped down an octave to sound a little wonky, like "uh oh, oops" and then once she corrected it took off again. Such a tiny detail but the way it set the tone was so charming. Almost vaudevillian haha. This episode was so lovely, great job guys.

Jules Vance

Taylor, that night market theme?? OK Gustav Holst !!!

Finn

Ahhh I have the same unsettled feeling about Steel! I can’t get settled with her character and it feels like a very Brennan thing to have a long con character you thought you could trust

Finn

Discord???? 👀

Finn

*gasp* Fox, no 🦊

Finn

I was eating dinner during the food scenes and still ended up hungry 🤤

Finn

Oh wait (on my second listen already) - Is Haverward on the actual ground at the bottom of the Citadel, and there are 24 other courts floating above it? I thought Haverward was one of the 24 during first listen

worldsbeyondnumber

Yes I got to design the Citadel public transportation kiosk UI for this episode!! A super small irrelevant detail but oooh I loved making it. It's sampled glass "tings" with marimba I think, and It's in the same key as the major Citadel themes. So glad you noticed. -t

thaesimir

Taylor, the music is phenomenal! Holy crap, dude

thaesimir

I'm blown away. I literally had to stop working and just listen

thaesimir

He's gonna deserve every single one

Pip Tarou

We need a map, and we need artwork. My art skill is alright, but not translating architecture into art Q_Q

Jack Jones

Really enjoyed experiencing they majesty of the citadel this ep gang!! Not going to lie that interaction with the living spell really confounded me, I feel like I would have been one of those washout first years can they feel pain, sadness, fear? what if one wanted to leave? would they even be allowed? Very much the case of do spells dream of magical sheep!

Brandon

Wait so... the Citadel is just a giant Paternoster Elevator 😆

Brandon

Ok, a very OPULENT Paternoster then 😉

Michael Link

Are y'all no longer doing transcripts?

Zander Jenkins

i like to imagine the citadel like the Bass Pro Shop pyramid

Jonah Loeb

They're having an issue with their transcription process, which is holding up the first few episodes of the arc, but they think it'll be fixed soon.

Michael Link

Thanks for letting me know! =) I must have missed that notification.

FusRohNahSon

I cant believe Ame said "whys it smell like badussy in here" at suvis apartment

Kevin Turner

Taylor absolutely ON ONE with the music for this episode 👏🔥🔥🔥

Erik Parsons

I don't know what's up but the episode won't play in Google podcasts on Android. Everything else works great. But I can't listen to this episode 😭

Just_another_queer

Loved such a fun time between everyone but feel like we will pay for it next episode with suvi and ame fighting starting up again

Kevin Mahoney

I'm having the same issue with Google podcasts. Ep. 16 won't play. All the others play. I am listening on YouTube now, but wanted to let you know that something is still funky with Google podcasts.

worldsbeyondnumber

We recommend avoiding Google podcasts entirely. It is notoriously buggy and unreliable. For reccs on podcatchers and other tips n tricks, check out the instruction manual pinned as the top post on our patreon page. -t

Sara

I just realized we met our big booty boi in this episode

Erik Parsons

Huh. Thanks for the heads up, I've used Google podcasts for a long time without issue. But I have no allegiance and will be happy to change

worldsbeyondnumber

Yeah it’s pretty wild that a company with essentially infinite resources can’t make a good podcast app. They’re actually sunsetting the whole service next year, classic Google.

Lost Shoe

Is that galithopter? as in, from the Greek γαλήνη (galēnē) meaning "stillness of wind & sea" plus πτερόν "feather, wing" ?

Lost Shoe

snapshot, with the orbits of the pieces traced

Heliks

I stand completely corrected! My bad, but thank you.

Riley Crowder

Episode 16: World Building with Brennan Mulligan. :)

Wilhelm Bulathsinhala

Hey Folx, just a heads up: sometimes the voice modulization makes it really bad for accessibility for Hard of Hearing and some others too. This particular ep with Suvi remembering what Steel said (at least I think that's what was going on), was incredibly difficult to understand. I have a touch of industrial deafness so I would assume there may be other people that need more accessible content.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Kinda blatant corruption for someone like Steel, who prides herself on her honor--and for Suvi, who wouldn't want to cheat.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

This was my first thought, for no other reason than that she was so clearly set up for us to trust her and fear Eioghrain (sp?), and I had just finished a season that included a traitor, so I was suspicious. I still think there will be conflict with her eventually, but I have also decided she did not betray Suvi's parents. At this point, I will be disappointed if I'm wrong.

Carrie Mook Bridgman

And Lou Wilson. Excellent demonstration of how to involve players in world building.

Riley Crowder

Oh yeah for sure. Perfect way example of how as a GM to pull players into worldbuilding.

Morgana Evenstar

I have a sneaking suspicion that we will know by the end of the arc. We still haven't heard the portion that was the "Now" part of the Fox's Then and Now, which featured Suvi tearing ethics notes out of her journals and flinging them into the sea. I can't imagine getting from Lil' Miss Fascism Intern to there without something big shifting.

Cipactli

yeah it's especially tough with no transcript :(

Lost Shoe

oh shit, ska cover of rain road is my new goal. I may have to get a ska band together just to do that. fuck

worldsbeyondnumber

The moment you’re referring to was a glitch that’s been fixed. You can hear the flashback in full by redownloading the episode, though it’s just a repeat of moments from ep15 so you didn’t miss anything new. -t

Wilhelm Bulathsinhala

Amazing, thank you! I wasn't sure if it was a creative choice and just wanted to throw in my 2 cents haha.

Stephen Laster

°°°°°°Spoiler Warning°°°°°° °°°°°°Tinfoil Hat Time°°°°°° Is anyone else getting "Clean up Op" from Steele? I know Joren isn't exactly a treat, but the ONE TIME Steele has plausible deniability, Soft and Stone die? Did Soft and Stone find something in the Citadel that merited ACTUALLY turning coat?

livia solanum

Yeah, not having the transcripts anymore makes following what is going on really difficult. 😥

Derek Davidson

Please tell me there is a "Guest of the Citadel" pin or brooch in the next merch drop!!

Bill Willson

Any other parents whip their head over their shoulder whenever the crowd noise baby babbles or is it just me?

Phoenix Vizva’i

I re-rewind a bunch while listening so I can savor the moment before knowing how it resolves 😊

Bee

Yeah Ioved that so much. Had to literally take a deep breath at the lost wheelchair though, actual nightmare fuel for me

Ratteefs

Hearing the music of the Citadel take off as they flew down to Havarward made me feel like I was hearing the Harry Potter OST for the first time. Full body goosebumps! Every time I think the music cannot possibly hit harder, here we are. Taylor, hats off to you!

Tino Rosales

This episode made me make gumbo for the first time

Paletuvier

Ooooh, that citadel music gave me big flashes of An American in Paris! So good! Such a vibe!

Ashley Teatum

Saying it right now, I don't think he did it (vague for spoilers). I just said it aloud on my walk, absolutely not.

sree

i gotta ask, are we just not getting transcripts anymore? that'd be disappointing

worldsbeyondnumber

We definitely are! Had a bit of hiccup but we will catch up soon. Working to make them quicker in he future as well ;) -t

Benedict Geddes

Absolutely busting waiting for the Wizard class details

Samantha

I just wanted to share that I started to come back and re-listen to this episode when I’m feeling down and need to manifest joy in my life - because this episode is FILLED with it! ❤️🥹 That is all.

Lindsay

I haven’t finished this episode yet but omg; the music while Brennan is describing the Night Market 🥰 I desperately want a Worlds Beyond Number album/playlist PRETTY PLEASE!!!

Skorpia

I want so badly to go to the night market, oh my goodness! Brennan has painted scene after amazing scene yet again for everyone to play in with so much enthusiasm, and the music always ties it together. I can never praise Lou, Erika, and Aabria enough for bringing so much relatability and fun in their role-playing! Eursulon already building a report with the community is DELIGHTFUL, he deserves to be excited about things again! Also I cackled out loud at one point 🦊🍲 iykyk

Mage Megara

Brennan in a fireside chat after arc one: “I’m so excited to build more unique and fantastical places that Taylor can have fun creating incredible scores for ” Me- a rube: “how could it *possibly* become MORE fantastical and incredible? The bar is incredibly high- and Y’ALL put it there!!” *cut to me /immediately/ replaying the scene where they take the transport down to Haverward- because I completely got lost in the music and needed it in my BONES* “Well- my mortal senses clearly have no idea what a ‘bar’ is to gods.”

Val

Okay- did Aabria improv the bit about first year students dropping out after finding out about temóre bc that is subtle but BRILLIANT and the implications of it are delightfully unsettling

Beldaran

It's the Age of Arcanum and disco is never going to die, baby!

Sil

Ooooh, I'm relistening and you better believe I don't trust that Merara (?sp) didn't cast the curse 😒 and isn't some sketchy Warlock for The Traveller 😡 the Waning Moon description is just a little too close

samecontent

The music and whimsy of this episode really got me in the feels.

Sil

... this shapeshifting SOB be hiding behind some Wicked Witch talisman with the equivalent of Nondetection, and YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

Jonesey

Spaces for screaming For learning and acting up Connect to living

Ashley Teatum

Hi it's me again making my way through on the re-listen, it's truuuly wild to hear this really sweet happy go lucky try everything delicious and fun at the Citadel episode 🥲

Sil

So help me if this sorcereress is the offspring of a certain spirit x consort, Brennan... 😂

Ale

Love the consistency that I can watch gastronauts and experience heavy food twice. Sorry they cut out the part where I can only imagine Brennan explains that butter changes depending on the diet of the cows, the breed, and butter can be cultured and soured.

Udoka

Listening to this episode again and the sound effects are just gorgeous.

Ashley Teatum

Oh no it's me on my subsequent re-listen 👋

Alyssa

“We’ve found locked doors, which is not the same as finding a wall. So it’s just about who has the key…Perhaps Soft and Stone gave some ability to you to bypass these locked doors, I don’t know.” 🫠🫠🫠 IS THAT SO?? 🙃
