Starting point is 00:01:09 This is a headgun podcast Welcome to dungeon court We are your supreme crit justice's murphy axeford and Tanner joined by the loly loly loly loly loly loly loly loly loly loly crawling his way back into our bad graces. I'm not even in the bad graces yet. The band left. You're not even in any graces. I have no graces. You got a crawl before. Yeah, I have to beg for grace. I can't believe that. We have this limbo stick for a reason and we want you to crawl under it. It gets lower and lower each time. I will crawl. I will crawl on the ground. It's a little performance for the entire court. I will squeal like a pig. I will
Starting point is 00:02:01 beg for grace. What is it going to take? All right, now you just make me feel bad. No, no, sorry. I'll do anything you want. Yeah, we already installed this limbo pole. Shit, you're not making this fun. He loves it. Stop touching your nipple, Baylor. He wants no grace.
Starting point is 00:02:22 With that, why don't we throw to the bailiff? I always feel like I want to say, just because now we only do these once a month, I mean, it always feels like so long since we've been playing. I know. Oh, it really does feel like I was just thinking that. Yeah, great news everybody. Here you, here you,
Starting point is 00:02:37 you crit is now in session. The honorable Supreme Crit Jussell. His expert Murphy and Tanner are presiding. And our first case comes from Ethan. To the most honorable Baylor Jacob, the hottie her wits, wow, I didn't choose this one first on purpose. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Okay, lead it off with it. Yeah, Ethan, make sure to off some loombo. He's using a tie from the ground. Those three other nerds. Oh, and then actually parentheses, just kidding, I'm so sorry, please forgive me or punish Jake the ground. Those three other nerds. Oh, and then actually parentheses, just kidding. I'm so sorry, please forgive me or punish Jake on my behalf. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Okay, you're back. I submit the case of sound effects shenanigans. I run a home-room campaign where I'll usually use a sound effect board for in-game things, like swords clashing. Oh, cool. Recently, the players have started using sound boards also. Yes. They played a sad
Starting point is 00:03:25 trombone sound, want, want, when a character died. Loud and wet fart sounds frequently during otherwise high stakes character moments. The players seem to be having fun with it, but I'm starting to feel all I can do is be a punchline to a fart joke. Can I keep the fun of sound boards and stop that feeling? Have I opened Pandora's beatbox and now it's too late. Oh my god, this is so hard. We've had a similar question. Second soundboard case. Second soundboard case.
Starting point is 00:03:49 We have it. Soundboards are wreaking havoc. I love how it's evolving. This new technology is fessing. I see right. We have the accidental sad trombone sound. He actually quote unquote accidental sad trombone. I don't know if I buy that.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Debatable, yes. I don't remember what my take was at the time, but from whatever I remember, I'm like, I'm either, I've either grown stronger or flip-flop, do you know that? I don't know. My heart breaks for you in this case. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Because I just feel, I am trying to be logical about it, but I just want to emotionally respond. You're right, they're wrong. Yeah. We've talked about this stuff before, but when you beat a dead horse like this, and when you keep making the same joke over and over again, it's just not gonna be funny. There's always the compliment that these people
Starting point is 00:04:34 are having fun, and you're the one creating that fun space, and ultimately they're enjoying having fun with you. So it's not actually... They're quite literally cheating. It's not an insult, but I understand that, but I don't want you to have to feel. They're shooting on the DM. Yeah, I think so. Actual poo particles, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Maybe they think you like it. Maybe they think you like it. Like, imagine delivering a speech that you had written at like midnight the night before for your bad guy, and then just like somebody presses a button wet fart every crack. Yeah. Oh my God. It would be really funny the first time.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Yeah, it's so funny. And then I want to think that this is going to run its course is the thing. Yes, that's what I'm doing. It's that it does get funny again. That's funny again. For instance. And people will keep trying until it gets funny again,
Starting point is 00:05:21 which means there's going to be a lot of time for it to not happen. Yeah, there's going to be a lot of variations. You can do like instead of swords clashing, you can do like butts clashing for like a sword battle. That's a thing. With your asses are hitting and farting every time. Yeah, so I think you're, I think you're trying to solve
Starting point is 00:05:35 a problem that wasn't brought to. Hearing you describe it is much more funny than the actual sound. Right, because hearing you describe quote, but's fighting. It's much better than any sound anyone could make. Oh yeah. But yeah, I mean look, you guys shit on my-
Starting point is 00:05:54 Did you punch a butt so hard that it far? It's probably cool, right? Definitely, are you kidding me? Yeah. You definitely could punch a stomach so hard that it far. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying like punch one cheek.
Starting point is 00:06:04 A cheek that's happened to me. I've like walked really hard into the subway, turn style and first. Yeah, definitely dude. Oh, certainly, certainly. The worst is when you're in high school or something and your friend like pushes you or punches you or something and you were like holding it apart
Starting point is 00:06:21 so you let down your defenses and you're flexibly fart and then you have to beg your friends not to make a deal of That did not have The classic the classic I demand to live this It's funny how like Double-sided farts can be in high school where it's like either the funniest thing or the most embarrassing There's no in between you have to be so high status to be able to own it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:47 And I was not there. Yeah. And I think a lot of people are not there. There's very few people are so strong that they can just rip one and be proud of it. And everyone can. Yeah. Everyone can. For more acquaintances.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And it's like the older we get, the less likely it's going to happen again. Yeah. True. It's definitely true. But anyway, going back to this case, it deflates the situation. It's a literal shitty thing to do to the DM. And I think my advice to you, first off, I'm on your side. Yeah, on your side. It makes the funny moments less funny when there's no rhythm to your session.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You know what I mean? Like if you can't take a break to be sincere, then the funny moments aren't gonna be funny. The sincere moments aren't gonna be sincere. You won't build that tension to really with the judge. Yeah, exactly. All of it is just shit.
Starting point is 00:07:39 There's never any tension. It's all just farting around. It's, if you fart during a serious moment, your whole session is fucking fart. Yeah, that's what it is. My first suggestion is that it's possible that you, you sound so wonderfully patient. And it's possible that you are being so nice
Starting point is 00:07:58 that they think you like it as much as them. Yeah, maybe. And you're not. So maybe a first step might be, I don't even know how you bring that up. A possible situation to be like, Hey guys, stop having fun. We need a fucking hacker to come in and hack their soundboard. You know what? You know what? We're not doing sound boards anymore. I think the easiest way is to take it away for everybody. That might make everyone okay. I know. That might not go over. But could you do it though in like a fun curmudgeon way,
Starting point is 00:08:27 put on like your Murf hat, where you're like, I'm laying down the rules, but everyone knows I'm still having fun. Yeah. Could you do it like spell slots? You only have so many sound. That's very funny. It's like a lot of point, but you can just like,
Starting point is 00:08:41 do you have one fart? I don't know. You better do it. Or do you have to do it? I'm so funny. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun.
Starting point is 00:08:49 You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun.
Starting point is 00:08:57 You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. You better get some fun. I think that maybe what I would do is if people were pulling this shit on me,
Starting point is 00:09:05 is I would just be like, if you make the fart sound, your character just ripped ass in that situation. So if you're talking to the king or something, you go up to them, you rip ass in front of them, king goes, okay, I don't wanna talk to you. Walks away. That's how NPCs react to you.
Starting point is 00:09:21 That's a really good solution. I'm gonna present a bad one, so yours looks better. Great, great. You should tie the fart button to a number on the dice. So when every roll like a three, that's the fart number. I guess we'd probably be two. What's the fart number?
Starting point is 00:09:35 Because two is shit. One is piss. Oh, we wouldn't one be shit and then two would be piss. I mean, in terms of, in terms of, why am I, wait wait wait wait, no, no, but I was saying that if we look logically, what is, what is a rolling in that one in your pants? It's probably shitting your pants, yeah. This is gonna keep you using,
Starting point is 00:09:55 I roll in that one by going number two. Yeah. Maybe, all right, I'm trying to think about which number, oh, probably eight, because that kind of looks like a little cloud. So maybe that's, when you roll an eight, you get to fart, you get to do the fart. I think, called well, you actually may have accidentally
Starting point is 00:10:10 stumbled on something. I actually think you've hauled it. I actually think it wouldn't be a bad idea to be like, what? Hey guys, can we keep it within the role play? So like, if you roll a persuasion check of like a five or less, yeah, go nuts on the far machine if you want. Like you fart during the, during the scene, that's fine. You already have made a bad impression or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Cause you know, I don't know, there could be an out for that. And typically when someone has a bad persuasion check that often does lead to some kind of humor or something. And that way you're not taking away an epic moment or something like that, although it could still not work out. I would just have the NPC walk away anytime they fart. Okay, so yeah. If they get a one, they shit themselves. If it's a two, they piss themselves. We probably come, right?
Starting point is 00:11:02 We're all going to say come. Okay, we were all going to calm. Okay. We were all gonna say Where these numbers are too confusing I need to rub one out Logical we've been I need to go number one. He and has been number one for way too long. I need to go number one. I mean, I need to go, come, is insane. And I can't abide this.
Starting point is 00:11:36 You know what? We've got the perfect punishment though. Okay. You'll, right. You have to butt fight your friends. Sure. Uh-huh. I wasn't going to say you have to butt fight your friends. Sure, yeah, I was gonna, I wasn't gonna say you had to butt fight your friends. I was gonna say your friends have to change their ordering
Starting point is 00:11:53 of the Peepoop numbers and number one for them is now coming. Right, and they have to explain that every time. One is coming. Yeah, so you'd be like, oh, can I use your bathroom? Don't worry, I'm just going number one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or they say, Don't worry, I'm just going number one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or they say, don't worry, I'm just going number three.
Starting point is 00:12:08 And then you say, what do you mean? Oh, because to me, number one is coming. I love you. Because you're also, you're doing that solo. It's one person doing that, and you're looking out for number one. This is true. I'll show when you're also during love making.
Starting point is 00:12:24 You have to be like, I'm gonna go number one Yeah, cuz one is become and three is for P Two is for poo three Yes, guys, this is really important just a a quick reminder, just a little health update. Always make sure you go number three after you won. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that is really good advice.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I believe we solved Kramber's problem and we solved another problem that society didn't even know. So everyone, please, please, please. Please, switch one at one and three. Switch one and three, everybody. One is come to us, poo. So everyone please please. Switch one at one three. Switch one and three everybody. One's come to his booth and actually. Spread it. And I switched one and three and actually so ordered on that. So ordered. So ordered. So ordered. There it is. And the players, the players as the punishment have to be the ones to explain
Starting point is 00:13:22 to everybody that's in the end. They have to be ambassadors of the new. They have to be a better person. to everybody that I'm in one head. They have to be ambassador is of the news. They have to be a bastard. Sam told the malls to hand out pamphlets. You have to get on the news as an advocate for switching number one and every third. And you have to vehemantly correct people when I'm in a room.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Yeah, you have to be passionate. Hey, no, what is come, buddy? Yeah. I didn't get on the news for this. I didn't get on the news for this I Didn't get on the news to be pushed around I don't go on the fucking today show for this Too mean to get on the news Hoda was so confused Okay, so yeah, that's all ordered then that's all happening
Starting point is 00:14:03 Scorted me from Kelly and Michael. Is that Kelly Ripa and Michael's to me? And I mash in them together. I don't know if they're still together, but it's going to be a full media blitz is what we're saying. Yeah, they'll be on the Sunday shows. Okay, Derek S. writes, to my dearest most beloved friends with an asterisk, the asterisk says, friends includes honorable judges Murphy,
Starting point is 00:14:26 Axford and Tanner, it should no way be misconstrued as to include the lowly, lowly belive, oh, get on the floor. He's not even an asterisk. Where's an asterisk? Yeah, yeah, dude, I fucking love him.
Starting point is 00:14:38 You got clowned on in a foot, no. You love it. Yeah, dude, clowned on me, don't give me grace. Whilst my brother and his betrothed, we're visiting, I was attempting to teach them how D&D works and how dice decide what the outcome is as It was approaching dinner time our party was stuck between two options red robin or Texas Roadhouse There is no Apple bees or Ruby Tuesdays. Please forgive me, but our options were limited. Okay, let's talk to South Well, actually, I guess with it finished a question, sorry, sorry for interrupting. We're heard of food chain. I heard a food chain. I was like,
Starting point is 00:15:08 maybe it's just this gun's food chain. Let's refuse your gun. Moving on. Moving on. Moving on. The man has the suburbs running through his chains. Moving on. I was born in the showroom. Moving on. Moving on. Three of us wanted Texas Roadhouse, but my brothers Fiancé desired the honey mustard that can only be found at Red Robinin in the spirit of helping them understand the game We left it up to the dice. Oh, one through five Texas Roadhouse six through twenty red robin I wanted to give the fiance a good chance at success. Okay, that makes sense statistically We rolled a natural four. I then explained sometimes the generous DM will grant advantage and how that worked and allowed a second role. No, no, no, no, no, you wanted your Texas road.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Shout out to the two crew. Okay. Oh, it is kind of. She then proclaimed, I don't like this game and we ended up at Red Robin anyway. Judges, were we wrong to forsake the dice in order to please our guest or should we have stuck by the dice's decision Despite the fact that this was technically not a D&D game. I humbly await your judgment and just punish me Did they play D&D afterward or was that it was that like Game over fully worth the question here is judges were we wrong to forsake the dice in order to please our guest or should we have stuck by the
Starting point is 00:16:23 Dice decision? to forsake the dice in order to please our guest or should we have stuck by the dice decision to put the fact, this is technically not a D&D game. You truly waited it for the... The one person, that one of the other things. The one person wanted one thing and everyone else wanted another thing and made the odds in that one person's favor and then the dice just waited twice in favor of the... And they learned that sometimes D&D is cruel.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Yeah, I'm not really in senses, yeah. I think what you did was you created the smallest possible one shot, which is you choose one, there's one choice. And that was like, that was all the taste of D&D that this person needed to be like, no thank you. You know what to eat dinner and then leave. There's precedent here to not roll for dinner.
Starting point is 00:16:59 We got another case where somebody rolled everybody's Chinese on the roll. Yeah, I was gonna say, is I think that like people, if they're hungry, they really can't be reasonable. Yeah, sometimes. Also, I think it's bothering me just that my obsessive tendencies with like linking the mechanics so that they make sense and stuff, the idea of there being four people, three of them voting for Texas Roadhouse and one of them, a one in Red Robin
Starting point is 00:17:26 and doing the three quarters in the one direction and the one corner in the other direction. I know, but it's driving me nuts. Right, I know I'm the crazy person. You were far too kind. Yeah, I don't know if I've ever been to a Texas Roadhouse. They rule, they're all they got. I don't think I have been to one either.
Starting point is 00:17:42 They're great, they've got a few cinnamon apple butter that you put on the bread. Oh yeah. Are you ready to talk about food chains now? You got really excited. Oh, we're leaving that in. Okay. Yeah, I'm just saying I would have also voted for Texas Roadhouse. Although, you know what, Texas Roadhouse, that one was a little bit rare for me.
Starting point is 00:18:04 We didn't have one in my hometown. We have a red robin in my mall. So maybe it's flipped there. Maybe red robin's a little more special. You got the endless fries there, bottomless fries. That's pretty sick. They got some great burgers. So this is just a note for everybody listening.
Starting point is 00:18:17 We cut 30 minutes of early conversation. Yeah, what you're wearing. This is a win for everyone. You better be shaking. So deeply edited down. I guess my big question. The big question that remains is does Texas Roadhouse have like a little jingle?
Starting point is 00:18:30 The red robin yum is so good. Yeah, that is good. I don't know. What is it? Red robin yum. Oh, OK. Is it all harmonizing on it? Yeah, it's true.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I would mind a wet fart right at the end of the ass if we can workshop that a little bit. I mean, it would be kind of a good advertisement for a restaurant. It's true, you're gonna fart. Which restaurant you choose, it's gonna make you fart. What restaurant would have the gall have the quavos to do with fart?
Starting point is 00:18:55 Why would you want to elicit fart before you eat? Yeah, it would have to be so good. Okay, here's the thing, it would have to be undeniable. Guys, it can only's the best. It would have to be undeniably nice. It can only be the trooper. Fellow justices, if the Sonic boys were up in their car, munching down on Chili Cheese Pups,
Starting point is 00:19:13 if they were in the car, Chili Cheese Pups in farting to be like, oh man, these pups are so good, I don't mind the farts. I'm going next day, I'm getting a cherry lime and I'm getting a bag full. I think you just wanna go to Sonic already. I really do wanna go to Sonic now.
Starting point is 00:19:25 It's been a while. For the hearing you guys talk, it makes me realize I mostly eat microwave food. But what if you drove in your car to get microwave food? Interesting. The prospect. It sounds harder. It is. You know what I will say?
Starting point is 00:19:41 I'll give a little fun anecdote for when you're trying to, because again, we've talked about how rolling is terrible for choosing food. It's never a good thing. Here's a good one. And also, We'll roll for dinner. Sometimes have rolls for dinner.
Starting point is 00:19:54 You have rolls for dinner. You have rolls for dinner. For another great say. Have rolls pre-dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And actually, you can get that apple cinnamon butter on the rolls. Rolls with dinner, not for dinner.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Not not for dinner. But I will say that also sometimes just voting isn't great either because sometimes people are really passionate like this person really wanted the betrothed, really wanted that hunt, really wanted a specific thing from Red Robin and the other people were probably just like, oh, Texas Road House. So I went on a trip one time with Kevin Corrigan from College Humor Fame, a friend. Yeah. And we had a system, it was like a couple of us, where it was like a survey, where whenever we were deciding if we wanted to do something or not, it was strongly agree,
Starting point is 00:20:35 agree, disagree, or strongly disagree. So it was worth like two points in the positive direction if you strongly agree. So be like, I want to walk down to this thing. No, I want to grab a taxi. Well, I guess I could walk. I don't really want to, so I'll disagree. Well, I strongly agree that I want to walk because I want to save the money. And it was just like, it solved every argument,
Starting point is 00:20:55 every debate instantly. Don't you think there are some personalities that would bulldoze that? Yeah, and maybe a Kevin Corgan, a Brian Murphy, who strongly agree and strongly disagree about most things. I think I'm pretty reasonable. I feel like you could game that system. You'd have to play with somebody as honest as Kevin.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Yeah, I think though you, you wanna be friends with somebody that was just gonna like bulldoze, you boss you around. So I think in general it works. Yeah. Okay, so we have to send in someone here. Look, this was the first exposure, but yeah, I gotta go beyond. I don't like this game. Just saying I don't like this game. Like first off, you're the fiance. You got to kiss a little ass. True true. That's true. You're not
Starting point is 00:21:40 an officially in the family. You're on your way there. This is an audition there. Exactly. an audition there. Exactly. They're a herseled dinner. I feel like you can just go get Red Robin later. Like, you can just like, you can suck it up and have the Apple Cinnamon butter and then just like go get Red Robin on your own.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Well, go, go. I don't know that anyone's gonna go to two chain restaurants and one night. I'm not saying in the same night, but also like D&D, I feel like this is also a cardinal sin of this situation, is like they should have gotten the order in, they should have known where they were going beforehand. You got to like, people are trying to be hungry to this, you got to like, no.
Starting point is 00:22:11 You have to have like the order going or you have to have the restaurant picked out. I think you do the strongly agree, this is a pretty system. So yeah, that's the way you go, you don't eat rolls, you don't roll for food. I feel like we, yeah, we have to side with the DM here because like, they put in the effort, they like tried to make it fun, They tried so hard to make it fun. The dice weighed in they were like hey there's a there's a majority for this obvious it's a great it's a great way to learn because if this person played D&D with you and you put in a ton of work with it and then they said I don't like this game that would suck.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Yeah. Yeah. They showed them a very simple rolling game and they're like, I hate rolling dice. That is a good call. I think that someone who is response to that situation, either maybe they become a very different person with their hungry, but it also. It's pretty rude. Yeah, this is like pretty rude.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Yeah, we're on your side. I think, find your side. I didn't get your girlfriend for food, but they were rude to you. And actually, yeah, at the wedding when they say, does anybody have a reason why these two should not be wet? You can tell this story. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah. In fact, play a clip of this. They play this clip. Yeah, just play them this. Start with the butt fighting and right here. Yeah, just play the whole opposite. That will be actually a really good chance for everyone to get indoctrinated into. One has come to his poo
Starting point is 00:23:26 Yeah, that's true. It's Karila marketing for for those other players that are actually supposed to be on the news We're doing a lot of heavy lifting by being played at weddings around the country So I think that we're gonna send us the fiance to write that into their vows. Yeah Like yeah, and by the way one has come to into their vows. Yeah. Oh, nice. And by the way, one has come to his, who's three-star.
Starting point is 00:23:46 We have a little saying in our household, you write your own vows and like, yeah, like you say it in unison with your partner like one has come to his poo, three is pee. Forever shall we be wed? Yeah, forever shall we be. Three is pee, you are for me. Yeah, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:24:01 That's really good. You're holding hands. This is like a nice secular ceremony too. Yeah. The DJ plays 20 minutes of D&D court. And then leaves. It's perfect. It's going to be cheap as the thing.
Starting point is 00:24:15 It's going to be so cheap. It's going to be really affordable. Fine, I'll do it. I'll DJ the wedding. I find. Fine, I will. I really, I really enjoy the wedding. Finally, all of our career pivot is come to fruition. I'm fine, I really, I really, I pass an exam. Instead of a boring regular test,
Starting point is 00:24:45 I had him try and pass a quiz show in the style of who wants to be a millionaire. Oh, that's fun. I even set up a quiz page using an online tool. The problem I had was when they stumbled during an early question, I let them off the hook with a history check role. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I also think that by sending them the link we were playing online, they may have been cheating to get the correct link we were playing online, they may have been cheating to get the correct answers. We were playing on the honor system. After they passed that initial answer, they ended up getting way further in the quiz than I thought they would and made a stupid amount of gold. Did I miss up?
Starting point is 00:25:17 What kind of test is this? You did. Make a mess up and not let them fail when I should have. I feel like if things don't have stakes, I'm doing a disservice as a team. No, this is the fun kind of mess up and not let them fail when I should have. I feel like if things don't have stakes, I'm doing it to service as a team. No, this is the fun kind of mess up. I think it's really, really fun. Right, although, but they're asking if they made a mistake in the answer, of course, is yes.
Starting point is 00:25:34 You know what, at the end of it, you panic, and then you say, now the essay portion. Yeah. And then you make that right in essay. And if you don't do it, then you lose all the gold you got. Yeah, right. At the end of every episode of who wants to be a millionaire the contestants had to split their money with Regis Famous whoa I buy it true. Well, I mean like Regis just threatened to beat them up It wasn't actually
Starting point is 00:25:56 We just met them in the parking lot and say house 50% sound And if they say no he pushes you really hard And if they say, no, he pushes you really hard, he's like 60%. It also seems weird. I mean, I understand that who wants to be a millionaire and I think, but like, they're at a wizard college. You don't have to pay them. There's a lot of issues here. They might have set that up and been like based on how many answers you get.
Starting point is 00:26:17 You'll get gold. Yeah, I think it's also as fun as it is to do stuff like asking the players questions with a real world knowledge, it often doesn't work out for reasons like this. Right. If you're gonna allow both, if you're gonna be like, you can roll a history check, but also you can just answer it if you know it, then that kind of confuses the mechanics. In theory, the game probably should have been actually all about roles, because that's how your players can, or I guess been actually all about roles, because that's how your players
Starting point is 00:26:45 can, or I guess it weren't not about roles at all. Yeah, just like any kind of piece of football. It's tough to do, but. The only thing I would suggest is that they got a ton of gold now, but you're at college. Everything is more expensive. They more of those books so much. That's really true.
Starting point is 00:27:03 So you can just make everything super expensive. Yeah, did they pay for parking at this? I remember my car got ticketed at her toad every other weekend in college. Toysians just a couple months away. That's right. Yeah, boarding, dining hall, you getting me credits at the bookstore. You can get that money back, you really can't. You just gotta think like a university.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Make them buy their armor or something like that. Yeah, they're calling them every week and ask them for a donation. Ha ha ha. I just find an old wizard calling. Ha ha ha. I am inclined to disagree with this player though because it seems like, for my understanding,
Starting point is 00:27:40 they're playing online so that this person couldn't see if they were cheating. It seems like they were, it's a wizard college, so they're wizard questions. So I think it's probably like actual like maybe spell check adjacent something or like they're like looking up spells or they need to look no components or like actual mechanics of a spell. I think they're just like going on D&D beyond a cheat. And I don't like that. But here's a nice decision.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I agree. But the DM said that they suspected that their players were cheating. But that's to me, I'm kind of like, why are you playing with a crew that cheats? Because wouldn't they just cheat on roles too? Like, wouldn't you just cheat on everything? I feel like we've learned from some of these that some people don't really know that kind of etiquette.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Right, right. Because you're just hop, maybe you're just hopping on with people online. They're totally know well. If they cheated, they at least didn't cheat in that first question when they stumbled and you helped them through. So I don't really understand just because they got far
Starting point is 00:28:32 after that, you're like, well, now they must be cheating. Because it seemed like they were really just probably just. Maybe they just got stumped on the first one. Yeah, I'm kind of over the opinion that if you think they, if you think they cheated on this, why didn't they, I guess you could do like rules in front of the table, you could do like role 20.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I wonder if you could be like, hey, auto character, are you like Googling these questions? And then if they said yes, you could be like, cool. So you're like kind of cheating on the quiz. So you have to do stealth checks now. You know, like, rather than punishing them, if you just like added them in the game. Yeah, I think you just gotta to do the bar trivia thing.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Instead of accusing them, just up top, be like, no Google, no looking at that. No looking up anything. This is all gotta be your knowledge off the top of your head. Yeah. Emily, you've got the way of it. Like, there's like a certain acceptable amount of shaming at the table that you can do that like really kind
Starting point is 00:29:20 of, if you put someone in the hot seat like that, where they're like, oh yeah, I was, you're like, that's okay, but you're gonna have to do stealth checks. Yeah. Everyone's gonna have fun with that. I think. And then that's kind of fun, because you're like, ooh, I'm cheating on my exam.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah. I think I get away with it. I kind of just like call it out and then. If you true though, that America has a problem and we have a deep moral rot in our society and we think cheating's okay. Ah! There we go.
Starting point is 00:29:47 That was good. Wow, you know what? It's good, let's eat. You know what I've got? There's nothing like a perfectly timed wet fart. That was actually the sound of me winning. Yeah. Shit. Now you're just confusing everyone.
Starting point is 00:30:01 It's like when you play basketball and you say and one, that's you coming, because you're not a basketball. Did you come when you play basketball, you say and one. That's you coming, you're meant to pass. It's you coming because you scored so well. That I just end one. And one. It's an impression, just shooting at three, swishing and just yelling and call. And call and call.
Starting point is 00:30:25 What the hell was that? yelling and call. And call. And call. And call. And call. What the hell was that? That seems like a Jake and a mirror joke. A mirror was yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. So stupid. Anyway, I think, do you know what I'm going to say?
Starting point is 00:30:38 I'm going to stick with my knee jerk reaction, which is I think this DM knows that they fudged up a little bit with the creation of this by mixing the kind of real world knowledge with the rolling mechanics and everything. I will say that if we had known that the players were cheating, if we knew that, then I would side with the DM. But from now, I'm gonna say that I think
Starting point is 00:31:02 this was just kind of a flawed premise. That's why I think I have to have stained because I don't know if the player was cheating or not. If they were cheating fundamentally, they're in the wrong. If they didn't cheat at all, then yeah, you made a little mistake, but it sounds like a fun one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the information we have,
Starting point is 00:31:18 I do think I have to, yeah, not punish the DM, but like they deserve maybe a little slap for what they did, and I think what we need to do, we need to punish them by making them give them another test, but this test has fake information on it, and the fake information is about the new come code. What does it mean when you say one and done? So you wish to ace the wizard's final, So you might claim your place in the tower. Been answering me this.
Starting point is 00:31:47 If you wish to earn your roles, what bodily function does two, Gorgeous Mountain Wave? So, so, so orders, right? So order, yeah. Ah, this, though.

Starting point is 00:34:33 Justices and little bay with with his little badge. Thank you I am a baby. I am a baby. We said it last Actually, you're on paternity leave for yourself. Everyone leave Jake a little baby You were on paternity leave for yourself. Everyone will leave, Jake. I'm sorry. That's right. That's right. Julian had a baby, but she actually always had a baby. Aw, I present the case of players versus riddles.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Our party was at a magical tree that required us to solve a riddle to advance to the boss fight. The riddle went as follows. I cast a spell that affects the masses. I am the whisper you hear among the branches. When with many, I face scrutiny, but when alone, I've been mastered. I realized that the perfect answer to the riddle, does anybody want to venture a guess?
Starting point is 00:35:14 What is the context of the riddle? Repeat the riddle again. Yeah. So they're at a magical tree and they're required to solve a riddle to advance to the boss. Okay. Magical tree. The riddle is this. I cast a spell that affects the masses. I am the whisper you hear among the branches. When with many, I face scrutiny, but when alone, I've been mastered. I cast my first off the cuff answer would be mass suggestion,
Starting point is 00:35:39 but I don't think that's right. Oh, is it a spell? I was thinking in the area of breath. Oh wait, yeah, I don't know why I thought I was a spell I'm still on spell check mode. I'm I'm in fart mode because I'm like pass Okay, yeah, I hope it's got that Merf your of the same mind as as the plaintiff here, okay I realized the perfect answer to the riddle was a fart there. We got it satisfied every line of the riddle
Starting point is 00:36:01 The part is in fact a whisper that affects masses. And it is scrutinized among others. Everyone knows a fart is mastered when alone. Yes, and as a suggestion, if you will. As a suggestion. Exactly. Damn, calling it a fire. You know, onyxize that spell, and now it will only be that. As a suggestion.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Yes, your occurs. However, our DM did not accept this answer, and after an hour, he gave us a hint which led to the real answer, a song. This brought the party into a frenzy as we felt that fart was a more appropriate solution than a song. I eagerly await your ruling on
Starting point is 00:36:37 if my better answer should have been accepted. How does a song agitate the masses? It's scrutinized by the masses. How is it mastered if you're alone? I guess because no one's judging you. You can singitate the masses. It's scrutinized by the masses. How is it mastered if you're alone? I guess because no one's judging you. You can sing in the shower. It's like you're dancing in the white. No one's watching.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I think the song doesn't work for this, for real. Far, far, a little better. Farfits. Yeah, farfits, song doesn't. And the fact that they worked on it for an hour, even after, I guess this person immediately came up with fart, it was shot down, then they worked for an hour, and then it was ultimately a little tough. I think as a DM you got to know in your beat, you got to know when someone is outfoxed
Starting point is 00:37:14 you, and this is, this probably got a huge laugh line. If you think about it for a second, it definitely works. I feel like D&D puzzles in general should have more than one solution. Yeah. I can't, I agree with that. Especially because a lot of times you're creating a random riddle, it's kind of just one little section that you're preparing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:31 You don't have the time to be like, this needs to be the most perfect riddle. Riddles are also tough first like, I don't know, I feel like, riddle versus puzzle, I much more lean puzzle. I've done less of them since like campaign one because they can get a little bit, they're not always the best for audio, just because everyone has to kind of stop and sit there and look for the fun.
Starting point is 00:37:52 They're fun though. They are fun. But I think it's, it's generally better to do a puzzle because a puzzle can be like, well, what's in the room with us? Go ahead and do a perception check. Okay, we find this thing. Well, maybe if we're able to weigh ourselves down
Starting point is 00:38:05 with that thing, then we can get past this thing that's blowing this wind machine that would hurt us otherwise. And it lets you gamify it versus something like a riddle where everyone just sits and stops and then just pitches answers to the DM. Yeah. I feel bad for having this opinion
Starting point is 00:38:24 because this DM sounds like they're doing their best. Yeah. I think that song doesn't work. Yeah. I have a concern that like the villain they were gonna face after it was like a bard or something, I was gonna be tied in. I'm sure that that could be why,
Starting point is 00:38:38 but it also just, there's other ways you could have phrased. Yeah. I get mastering it by yourself. I, it doesn't, it doesn't click with me immediately in this moment. I guess you, I mean, you would practice by yourself, you probably wouldn't go out and belt out when you're learning. I feel like the riddle has to rhyme. I know it doesn't technically have to rhyme.
Starting point is 00:38:57 That's right, we send it to the DM. It does rhyme, it does rhyme, it does not riddle. So since this DM to write 10 Rittles that question is that did the DM make that up or is this like a famous Rital and we're gonna look like morons for oh yeah Do fucking like you can't be worried about us looking like more One time this is the one time we've ever looked too Every D and D court
Starting point is 00:39:24 That's actually in the players's handbook, Merf. No one has ever questioned us. No one has ever thought any of our decisions were stupid. No one has ever. On a brief Google search, it does look like nobody else says one for come, so that can't be true. That's us. That's us.
Starting point is 00:39:40 And also, this is not a famous riddle. OK. OK. OK. OK. So we only look like moreons. We're saying one for common. We don't have to look like moreons.
Starting point is 00:39:48 We're saying song doesn't work in this timeless riddle. One, two, three, four, five. When you say come makes me feel alive. Go on. Oh, that's cool. So that's at my book number five. Yeah. You know they cannot be hit.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I said call those on fire before, but you got to cool off at some point. Yeah, you got to like, douse yourself. You got a cool off at some point Yeah, you got it you got to like doubt you got a cool Zmba jam eventually missed I Somehow that derailed me worse than anything Talked about I fully forgot what was just I don't know where I am I just started singing mom one number five.. It sort of had to do with the case we did the beginning of the episode.
Starting point is 00:40:29 There's a rental, I think that we don't. I think I'm gonna say this to the D.M. Because the song is the answer to that. I'm gonna send this to the D.M. to analyze the rhythmic structure, the rhyming of Mombone number five and try to come up with better riddles. The next riddle. Yeah, try to replicate Lou Begge, I think they also should just buy us some Texas Roadhouse.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Yeah, I would love to try it. It could be fun. Or buy us a Texas Roadhouse. What better way to try than by showing up to my own franchise. And I actually know how we could make it even better is by having that red robin, honey mustard. Ah, yeah, it's real great.
Starting point is 00:41:13 It's smart. Why don't restaurants do that? Just stealing javis. Just do these kind of stuff, they do. They definitely do. You don't know, they do. Yeah, remember, all the fries used to be different, but now they're all kind of McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yeah, that's very true, yeah. Anyway, yeah, I think we got, we do. Yeah, remember, all the fries used to be different, but now they're all kind of McDonald's. That's very true, yeah. Anyway, yeah, I think we got to roll against this DM. Well, yes, we do, yeah. We're floppin' on the farce, because we like the fart here. I know, I know. And it just shows that a well-timed fart is fine. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:38 You just, you have to know. You have to be the judge. And if you got it, you got it. And if you don't, you have to admit that you don't, and you shouldn't be making fart noise. And if you come up with a riddle and other people have something that fits better, you got to have the humility to be like, yeah, even if you disagree, even if you hear that and you're like, oh, like, it's not fart, you have to know that like when it eventually
Starting point is 00:41:58 comes out, everyone will be mad. Yeah. Like, you have to know in your beat. You have to know that that like, all right, I've lost this. No, in a second, I can, I can sympathize with this DM even though we're still arresting them. What are we doing to that sentence? Making them buy us a franchise. I guess I think that I'm devise a franchise. I can sympathize with being like wanting this poetic riddle and being like, I, I can't admit, I can't pretend like I came in
Starting point is 00:42:27 with this answer being part. This is the moment when my NPC goes from super high status. Yeah. Yeah. This is the moment where he goes, wait, no, no, no, no, no. No, the answer's actually song with pop, the door's opening, the door's opening, why the fucking? The door's my mouth, the door's my mouth, it's so hot, oh fuck. I hate that, that's actually song with the doors opening the doors open the door is my mouth. It's always very fun
Starting point is 00:42:52 Okay, cool so ordered so ordered and our next case comes from Kevin W. Kevin writes fuck you no intros Kevin writes, fuck you, no intros. Oh, yeah, I love it. Wow, we're all down on the dirt. We're all with him. Yeah, except Jock Herwitz because he's a fucking dad now congrats. So thank you. I said, baby.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yeah. He's a little baby. The paternity leave was for his. Was for him, he had to be. He had to be. Yeah, no, no, no. The paternity leave for his parents to come back and have to take care of him because he's a baby. Can you imagine some really hipp. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person.
Starting point is 00:43:25 He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person.
Starting point is 00:43:33 He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person.
Starting point is 00:43:41 He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. He's a great person. like a gestational transformation, and I need six months off. I'm gonna be only eating milk for six months, dude. It's kind of like I'm doing a lot of yoga and the go mad diet. Galen of milk a day. You're invited to my birthing.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Please bring a raincoat. And yes, I'm wearing diapers, but that's just part of this process. The case of shield not shielding I play an artificer in a long running campaign. There was a cannon being fired from quite a ways away that was aimed at me. The DM rolled to hit. I say I cast shield. He said I was unaware of the cannon being fired. I asked if it was a sneak attack cannon or if I had the surprise condition and didn't know. He said no, but it was fired from 300 yards away
Starting point is 00:44:28 and there's no way I'd see it coming. Am I wrong for going, okay, then whatever, and having a slight salt for the rest of the session? That's what I'm doing. That might be an overreaction I think. But were you in combat? Were they in combat? It doesn't sound like it.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It sounds like maybe you could have had the surprise condition. But they said, well, DM said them. DM didn't know. DM said no. If you are a seasoned adventurer, you've got a spell that shields you. You hear a loud sound like that. I think you can argue that you would just throw it up.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Like if you hear a cannon, you're gonna hear the cannon before you see it. You might throw up that shield just out of precaution. Yeah, like I feel like based on Fourth of July alone, you have a reaction to loud noises. Yeah, yeah, Fourth of July rules. Fourth of July, we throw my shields in. I can throw a shield up.
Starting point is 00:45:13 You waste all your spell slots on your shields. I can absolutely throw a shield up. Yeah, if Murf's not wearing his thunder shirt, he's absolutely throwing a shield up. There you go. Yeah, I think you were cheated here for sure. Yeah. Because, I mean, even, look, rules is written unless you have the surprise condition, you
Starting point is 00:45:32 can take reactions. Yeah. Like, it's spell casting time is one reaction to doing attack, isn't action, reactions are faster than actions. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I think you're cheated. I think it's pretty button up. I think you cheated too.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Yeah, it sounds like this is what shield is for. Yeah, this is exactly what shield is for. I think I got a rule against the deal. I think that if your DMs choking because we buttoned up their shirt all the way, that's the way it is. I think if there was a situation, I don't know that it necessarily all has to be by the book.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Like it doesn't have to be a sneak attack or something like that. Like the DM can be like, do a perception check or whatever because it can be, you know, I don't know. If somebody's got a beat on you and shooting a fucking cannon at you from like a hidden position, you might not be able to react. You might not see it even if, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:21 the shot's obviously not gonna be that stealthy. I think if the cannon has a silencer on it, then that makes sense to me. I'm not a giant silencer. It could have had a huge silencer. Yeah, so I guess it's hard to weigh in right? Until we know there was a giant silencer. Yeah, I ask you to keep these cases brief so they can't really explain if there were silencers on the cannon.
Starting point is 00:46:42 You got to tell us if there's a cannon silencer. You have to tell us. Yeah, the case is brief, but tell us if there's a sil us. You gotta tell us if there's a can of silence. You have to tell us. Yeah, I can't. But tell us if there's a silence. Yeah, whether or not there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence,
Starting point is 00:46:52 or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence,
Starting point is 00:47:00 or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, or if there's a can of silence, with this stuff, you do have to still make it make sense. Yeah. Mechanic wise, you know. I think they should have got a perception check or that would have been the hard ass thing to do. It's like, they're up on a hill,
Starting point is 00:47:12 you don't know where they're shooting from. Do a perception check to see if you've in clock this coming at you. That would have been the hard ass version of it. I think it's bullshit to just be like, you get shot with a fucking cannonball and you're like a magic rogue or something? Come on, you can see that coming.
Starting point is 00:47:30 I wanna say, it sucks. You're definitely wrong. You can see that one again. I don't like the okay though. Yeah. Don't like the okay. Okay. But yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Let's sentence this. See what I would do is I would be like really dude And then I slam my hand on the table That's good leave yeah huge shit a huge number three. No number two, right? Two just number two. Yeah, nothing changes about shit Oh, yeah, I say I'll say I'll I'll go I'll say don't worry. It's number two not number one Number one is come and then I go to the bathroom and I blow up their bathroom and then I come back out and then I'm normal. You get a birthday toilet but with a number. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Kong cump. No. Yeah dude. No. I can't abide this. Yes he does. I did not do this. This is one of the times where we say something you shouldn't do. Yeah. Everything that we said up we say something you shouldn't do. Everything that we said up until this point is okay to do. Yeah. This is where we draw the line. This is where we draw the line.
Starting point is 00:48:31 This is where we got to step down for a second and say, hey, everybody, we're just kidding. We're just kidding. Don't come in people's tanks. Don't want. Obviously, don't want to, don't want to anyone's tanks, okay? I'm for con. Hey.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Oh, we have to move on because I'm getting to him, you said I know, and I know I have to grow up. Upper, yeah. Upper Gunca is sad, like, too good. And now I do have to wholeheartedly endorse it. I have to get to it. You're just, they're not gonna notice for a while. We have to move on.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Okay. It's funny the way that the first question can just Set a tenor for yes can completely poison the entire recording Because if you're just we I mean yeah, well first thing was about wet fart No, yeah, and we never recovered stupid to meet it.

They can be the red robin runners that supply us
Starting point is 00:49:50 with a special honey mustard. Okay, so they need to get a red robin bike. Right, so we're, bike is over some of that honey mustard. It'd be nice if we could do it elicitly because I would hate to pay red robin for the sauce. No, no, that's what I'm saying. It's like me, okay. It should be a mustard heist.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Yeah, okay, so they need us at a Bajani mustard heist. And they walk out on the bill. They don't, they keep asking for extra honey mustard and leave. And then when they're banned from that red robin, they have to find another one further away. Right. Yeah, so it started telling a pretty easy job,
Starting point is 00:50:21 but it gets really hard when you're crossing state lines to go to that robin. And then when they complain about it, when they complain about it, you say, you had no problem shooting cannons from so far away. Thank you! Okay, so ordered, you are our Robin runner. Thank you for your service. And you're going to be banned from a lot of red robins, but you're welcome at any Texas roadhouse. I'm begging you, the Robin runners becoming its own like successful You're gonna be banned from a lot of red robins, but it's gonna be worth it. But you're welcome at any Texas roadhouse. No.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I'm being sure that the robbing runners becoming its own like successful business. That would just start with supply. The first day of the year. The first day of the year. So, all time. Rob and runners. Yeah, based on a true story.
Starting point is 00:50:59 You probably wonder how I got here. Me? I'm a robbing runner. $10 million in episode. Jason Statham is the Robin runner. Wow, finally. Okay, so let's lower the lights here. We'll open up the stained glass.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Yeah, it's definitely a church. We need to go to church. I think our confession, we do need church. We need to be cleansed. Comes from Kai C. Dice Christ's advice is my son and campaign cursed. Okay, Chi writes, praise B to dice-chris, I prostrate myself and ask for your advice.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Two years ago, I started my first home-brew campaign. At the same time, my wife and I had just welcomed our first son into the world. For fun, we had him roll the campaign's first dice. We had to have him hold it in his hand and wait for him to drop it. His first ever roll in his life, a Nat 20. Wow.
Starting point is 00:51:49 As a sign of fortune both for the campaign and my son. I was going to say this was an audacious move. You got his 20-seller to fortune. You got his 20-seller to super stitious to do something like this. I'm glad it worked out for you. Well, two years later, the campaign is going strong. My son is growing up beautifully. I write to you now and take us back to a time
Starting point is 00:52:11 when we had just welcomed our second son into the world. The same day, Jake, welcome Gemma. Whoa. A nice birthday, May 11th, let's go. To keep the tradition going, we had him roll the D20. His first ever roll, a Natt one. Dice points, I ask for your help. Is my campaign now set to fail? In addition, going, we had him roll the D20. His first ever roll? A nat one. Dice points.
Starting point is 00:52:26 I ask for your help. Is my campaign now set to fail? Is my son cursed like Murph? Does dice points look favorably on one son and not the other? Okay. As a loyal servant, I will humbly wait for any advice you have and act any way I need to to ensure my sons have a prosperous dice filled life.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I think that failure builds character, so it's not a bad sign, and your son is rolling ones. Yeah, Emily has an interesting take on when she's rolling to see who's rolling hot. She not only rolls to see who's rolling hot before we start, she rolls to see who's rolling interesting. Oh.
Starting point is 00:53:01 So she does not, so she takes out dice. I roll my dice, and anyone that rolls me a 20 gets gets on deck and anyone that rolls me a one gets on deck Yeah, I think that both polls are the most interesting. You gotta have that spice Yeah, yeah, yeah, what you don't write is like a five you don't want a five. That's no for at all. Yeah And one sir, you know what you might have you might have a little comedian because ones are the funny I always got one. Yeah, the ones are the funniest character And you know what you're also what beautiful balance you got a 20 you got a one Yeah, sounds like you got to just take it all together and that sounds pretty interesting. Yeah, you're rolling interesting over there
Starting point is 00:53:40 I think so I think you're all interesting over there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations. Oh, and then I guess since this is, since this is dice Christ, we will baptize your children with decor. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Here. Hand me the baby. We need you to sign so many waivers. We have one of those like money tubes, but with dice. We should make like soft little dice, specifically for this purpose, like Nerf dice that you can use for baptizing. We could offer this service at our Texas Roadhouse. Baptizing. Baptizing. It's really hard to explain. Does this have anything to do with D&D? Sort of. Is this religious? Sort of.
Starting point is 00:54:24 It's really hardly. It really doesn't have anything to do with D&D? Sort of. Is this religious? Sort of? It's really hardly. Yeah. It really doesn't have anything to do with anything. Yeah. A joke on a joke on a joke. And we're losing grip on what this is. Are you going to hand it your kid or not, sir? This is the only thing that got us off of the com code.
