Flailing Through First: Recent Episodes
How I Spent My Allowance
WE FINISH TALKING ABOUT MAGIC ITEMS. WE DO. WE PROMISE.
What will we talk about next time?! NO IDEA!
In which Will and I discuss differing viewpoints on explanation, I digress about Wheel of Time, and we just barely get through a list of what Artifacts can do.
In which Will and I question the creation of manys the item. And plug two things which probably don't need our help.
In which Will and I discuss the last half of that table, and also a D&D video we both watched.
Will and I start on our last table of Misc. Magical items from the DMG and are tragically cut short by an uncharged computer.
Yes, yes we are, and tonight we discuss two of the worst/most misused magic items ever.
In which Will and I wax poetic about the uses of a Deck of Many Things and a bunch of other items. Strap in folks, this is a long 'un.
Will and I go straight for RSW- Rods, Staves, and Wands. Really Wands, Rods, and Staves, but who's counting?
In which Will and I get into a surprisingly detailed discussion of Holy Water and then swim straight on into potions.
In which Will and I discuss perhaps the most complicated character classes. And then we're done!
In which Will and I discuss certain events in the gaming community. And I wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes (to the tune of "Duncan and Brady" by The New Riders of the Purple Sage).
Well, tumble, tumble, tumble, small d4
Ernie Gygax junior’s coming through the door
Gonna revive his dad’s company
He'll cater to old white men, just you wait and see
Chorus:
You know he's
Been rollin’ dice too long
Been rollin’ dice too long
Been rollin’ dice too long
Said Ernie, your time has gone
Now gaming as a culture has come pretty far
Then along comes Ernie with his TSR
He thought Wizards of the Coast was acting too woke
And cast Protection from Evil as a little joke.
Chorus
Well Ernie, Ernie, Ernie, you know you done wrong
We like diversity, we like to get along
You’re a racist, sexist transphobe, that’s pretty clear
Now take your busted system and get outta here
Chorus
Well, tumble, tumble, tumble, small d4
Ernie Gygax junior’s coming through the door
Gonna revive his dad’s company
He'll cater to old white men, just you wait and see.
In which Will and I finally get around to discussing Magic-Users, and then basically insult the entire Illusionist class.
This actually is your daddy's Barbarian; it's just not yours... not to be cavalier about it.
Will and I talk about Character Classes. At some point- some point soon!- we might stop talking about Magic-Users.
In which Will and I try to roll under an arbitrary number to come to a better understanding of saving throws... and... each other.
