you said you had shit to talk about. Did I?
Speaker 2:you did in the text I was going more on the line of like the stuff that we've been doing since our like what is dnd episode. Like, I know we had an episode in between, but it was still pre-session two, session one and two, because when we had our D&D episode we hadn't even had a session zero. Did we have the one shot? Did we do anything? No, we didn't do anything because you were still. You were still even considering what character you're going to do, whether it was going to be Fred Black or the detective tiefling warlock, you know. But to my understanding, we did our session zero, our one shot, sessions one and two. So a total of four sessions three related to our main campaign, one unrelated right no, you're right, I think so yeah, and now we have one coming up on in two days, in two days two more sleep, two more sleeps.
Speaker 2:I love, I love that I'm like the first one to go there and say the sleeps part you know what's crazy, though, I've been a lot more active on threads.
Speaker 1:The fucking D&D, the audience, like people are fucking. They engage with you, they talk to you. It's pretty fucking cool. But I've been more active on it and so, like, I put up our picture about, like, when we played. Yeah, and I put up our picture about, like when we played. Yeah. And I put up like a picture of the dragon egg, the little you know, the crocheted the dice bag and people reposted it.
Speaker 2:People were like, hey, that's fucking cool, whatever you know, like suck my dick, you got to roll a persuasion. Check on that dude. Roll that flat. So I might do a cartwheel. So, like all of my Instagram like, the explore page is literally just either like campaign related things, magic items, dice, dice, different dice pages, different dice pages. That's all it is on anything, whether that's on Instagram, whether that's on TikTok, whatever. Like it's all D&D stuff and I'm like dude. This has consumed me.
Speaker 1:My algorithm is all D&D, Like TTRPG related Pro wrestling anime. Yeah, it's like everything.
Speaker 2:Going back to what we were talking about at the beginning. We didn't have any recordings prior to our sessions, so I just kind of wanted to talk about see where we're at. How are we feeling about D&D Before that?
Speaker 1:Welcome back. This is the Dallas Podcast Group. I am the Elder he's HD, if you are new to the show. This is a discussion-based podcast in which myself, hd Jose the Daddy Dungeon Master, hd Jose the Daddy Dungeon Master, the Nomad and our other cohorts. We discuss nerdy stuff anime, d&d movies, tv comics. We discuss everything that falls under the niche umbrella of nerd culture, but anyway, d&d.
Speaker 2:D&D.
Speaker 1:I like that we've been pretty consistent with it since you know we started talking about threads and, like you know, being in and around like that dnd community, like seeing you know that everything comes through your algorithm. A lot of people are like our schedules lined up. I was like fuck yeah, dude. I was like us too. Then like I've been really glad that we've been able to like meet up, yeah, like consistently, or that we've been able to at least plan ahead enough so that we can meet up, cause that's been cool as fuck. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Honestly and again it's to emphasize it like to the fucking degree, like the, the community, and the aspect of getting together with people that, like I want to fucking be around Right, like granted, I don't expect everybody to want to be fucking around me, like whatever, but me in my loneliness I get to fucking be around everybody. You know, that's like the the biggest thing for me. But also, like now that we're in like the actual campaign and like we're like we're all pretty involved now at this point, the, the creative aspect of it like is is fucking cool, yeah, and the fact that all of us interact, doing it, because, to jump into it, opening up into the one shot, all of us were fucking real gun shy Even in starting the first part of the campaign. All of us were fucking gun shy Because none of us it's. Like I said before the recording I get really fucking nervous.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think all of us were like we didn't want to be the first one to you know, have to like open up the conversation of the dialogue.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. Yeah, I think for me the biggest thing was and I said this after our one shot where I was like I don't want to keep narrating what my character is doing. I want to actually be that character and do those things myself. And so, like even the first session, I really like push myself to try to be the character that I created. And I mean at first it's like, oh, I don't know if I want to say this, but I mean you get used to it. I don't know if I want to say this, but I mean you get used to it. And then, and then I mean, since then, it feels weird to not be that character and engage with the people that you've been engaging with. It's to now where it's like we kind of just pick up where we left off and it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 1:So I'm still warming up to, not the interactions per se, but I'm still trying to find the cadence of the character. Know we, you know we mentioned it, but for my character I'm playing a cleric, I'm a warforged cleric and um, warforged, they're automatons, they're robots and the character breakdown the, the traits. A lot of it is like like you misread emotions. You announce actions out loud as if to like alert everybody. So, uh, let's say, like one of our first interactions with the goblins, it would be like there are goblins ahead of us, like I would have to announce that. But I'm still trying to find it because it's just, I want to just like talk, yeah, like I, I want to lean more into a character that is, I don't know, like more that has more personality and it's having to like. I do like I want to be a fucking Warforged, but it's. You know, the main thing is that they're like, they don't have personality, they're fucking robots, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Well, I think I don't know if you watched the campaign that they did for Critical Role with Fresh Cut Grass.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's where the I found out about Warford through that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I mean right, like over time, he became more and more aware of his personality, of the fact that he even had a personality, of the fact that he had a soul and what that was like Right. And so I think, with you, I don't know, like how you want to take that Right, but one of the cool things that I think would be worth exploring is like how you became a cleric, because that has like right, that's not been established. That hasn't been established, and it's like how did this, you know mechanical, being come to the realization that like, hey, I'm a cleric. Was it bestowed upon you? Was it just something that you picked up? Like how did that make sense? Like where is that coming from?
Speaker 2:Because clerics want to help people, right, they want to help others, and in helping others, you assume that you have compassion, you have empathy, but as a warforged, none of that is there, it's just. But as a warforged, none of that is there, it's just, you're warforged. So it's like, how did that come to being right? So I think that would be pretty cool.
Speaker 1:I get that and shout out to danny. I mean just, you know, like from an outside perspective of watching these fucking campaigns and watching like established players, you know, through the fucking, like, through the wonders of youtube, to be able to see that shit DMs are. That's a fucking talent, dude, like that's such a technical fucking thing to do, and it's so like it's cool as fuck to be able to have someone like Danny, who's so like astute, astute enough because I think, especially like through us, if anything, because now he has that incentive to progress himself as a fucking DM, right as more as a seasoned DM, aside from being a player, because I think you, jose Vic, obviously, anika, all of you are real fucking smart, like smart enough, like I'm a fucking moron, dude, dude, throw yourself in the list. No, I'm a moron.
Speaker 1:I think it would be cool to have danny play, because I'd love to see what danny does as a player yeah because I can only imagine that he would be like I'm a fucking dragonborn like and I just have the biggest hog, but I also have this sword I don't know which one's which I just swing him.
Speaker 1:No, I, I think he'd be like joe manganello, because he watched, like the campaigns that joe manganello does as his one, because he's like one character all the time, yeah, and it's his only, like his established dragonborn character and like, for people who are aware, and and joe manganello did the uh, the campaign with critical role where he, he took the fucking um vekna's hand, but by taking it he cut off his own hand, yeah, attached back in his hand to his own, and then from there the story ended up unraveling into this, well, extending, I guess you should say um, extending into this, this grander story, yeah, like beyond this campaign. That should have just been one shot, if I understood him. I swear he's been written now Like that's canon, like with D&D, they've established it as a story and I was like, dude, that's so fucking badass.
Speaker 3:Like to think of that, I kneel down and I place the hand on the ground and I raise my axe above my head and I say a prayer to Tiamat and I bring the axe down and chop my hand off, put Vecna's hand on, use my healing pull to heal and teleport out. I'm sorry, it was just business Till we meet again.
Speaker 1:See you in the next campaign. Fuck you. Oh my god. But I think Danny is probably fucking like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it'd be cool to get him to play.
Speaker 1:But it's been fucking cool and again to circle back around, like having Danny there to help us like, especially, like you're saying, with building into the background and trying to establish Fred as not only this character on paper. You know, even in agreeance with other things that I've seen in terms of like dnd character creation, it's like you know to fully immerse yourself. You should establish your class into the background of the character. Why are you doing this? You know how, how do the other characters like, if you want to build some kind of connection to um, the other characters in the campaign, like why would they know you? Why would they have heard of you?
Speaker 1:But it should all just sort of be this one malleable fucking thing that you can build on. And I mean, that's like where I'm at. I'm really like lost in that creation aspect, not lost in bad way, but lost in like I'm just like I want to go down a fucking rabbit hole where I'm like not only like, I'm like three characters fucking in. I just have like like I'm creating characters. I'm not even fucking done with this one you know?
Speaker 2:yeah, have danny, kill this one off and do any other ones.
Speaker 1:I don't know I want to message, I want to, I want to go full, just character annihilation. Yeah, I'm thinking about it strongly, yeah. Yeah, it's just like building on, building on that ending and whether it continues or whether it just goes a different route, it is up there. For me, it's a complete fucking annihilation of the character.
Speaker 2:That'd be dope I'd play in your funeral.
Speaker 1:I think stories like that are just cool. That's the type of storytelling that I like, where it's like maybe not the main protagonist, but a protagonist, like I don't mind a protagonist death, unlike Jujutsu Kaisen or like Attack on Titan, where it's just protagonist death. Everybody gets fucking just like steamrolled. But I like like a justified death yeah, I think there's meaning in it.
Speaker 2:Like, if you look at anything like Game of Thrones, right Like Ned, right Rob, those are meaningful deaths, I think, in order to progress the story. Because then, say, rob and Ned never died, Well then what happens? What comes of Jon right, like he doesn't have to face any adversity to move forward and be the king in the north. So I think it makes sense to have some death. I don't want it to be me, I. It makes sense to have some death. I don't want it to be me, I.
Speaker 1:Just I'm just putting it out there I don't want it to be me to build on on the campaign. It is myself, danny, acting as our dm hd. The nomad, jose, the dad, anika and loric Nightweaver brother. Sergio as the fucking, as the absolute goaded, fucking character for the second part of the campaign which we have to get to Lorik fucking Nightweaver, the dark knight.
Speaker 2:The dark knight. We started out. We were a gun for hire. We started out, we were a gun for hire. The group didn't know anything about each other, but we were all hired by a mutual beneficiary that we all share, and he hired us for a task of delivering a cart of goods to a neighboring town of Phandelver.
Speaker 1:And along the way, we discovered the remnants of an ambush. I discovered Applejack. I discovered Applejack. Hd discovered Applejack. Applejack was a beloved character for the time that they were around and I'm just putting it out there. If anybody is a fan of Berserk, I want Applejack to return as the horse from Berserk. People know the character. It's not called a regular horse, it's called the horse. It's as the horse from Berserk. People know the character. It's not called a regular horse, it's called the horse. It's called the horse. No, it's not. Yes, it is dude.
Speaker 1:Yes it is Dude On the internet. On the internet, I don't know that that's the name proper. On the internet, though, like as far as Berserk goes, it's the horse Dude. We're gonna get canceled. I have to bleep that. That's why I said first, but for context, for your reaction, that's what it's called, but that's how I want applejack to come back, father no, but yeah, we were.
Speaker 2:I mean, we're just hired muscle, basically Nobody knowing each other, and that's how we, I guess, started up and freaking Jose almost died.
Speaker 1:From jump, from jump. So I'm a cleric. Hd is a paladin, jose is a barbarian.
Speaker 2:No, he's a fighter, he's a bugbear fighter.
Speaker 1:Okay, I thought he was a barbarian. The nomad is a monk monk and the nomad's significant other, anika.
Speaker 1:She's a druid and then again, sergio is a is a bard, but sergio wasn't in the story yet. No, he didn't join until. But it was the our first, our first conflict. Like the first initial scuffle that we ran into, we had an encounter with goblins, pack of goblins. Yeah, as the druid vix girl cast fucking ice knife, it just shrapneled into not only the, the attacking goblins, but it, it shrapneled jose and it fucking almost wiped him out but that's his character, like he just goes balls, he just goes in what?
Speaker 1:yeah, I like that he's laying into that the lovable brute yeah the. You know right that he was like me attack me, fight, but then he got ice knife. He was fucking almost wiped out. That shit was cool as fuck because in the first session, the session zero, the one shot that we did I was the one who got folded right away. Yeah, I got folded instantly by like a crab monster. I don't know what it was. It was a sea monster, a sea. It was a rock, lobster, rock, lobster, rock, lobster.
Speaker 1:You know, anthropomorphic fucking thing that attacked us but I got folded instantly, yeah. But then, you know, as we progressed on this little track, we found a path and we ended up encountering another pack of goblins. But we snuck up on them near a stream, near the opening of a cave yeah and I believe the nomad was the first one to get the jump on them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he. So he. He killed one, just one, shot him just one inch punch straight to the foot, monk's head, monk's fist, yeah, monk's fist straight to the chest. But then he got, he got downed himself but he got folded up. Yeah, that was funny and that's where our beef started.
Speaker 1:Uh, yes, I really like that. Currently there is like a little rivalry. Think sasuke naruto guy, kakashi deku bakugo. It's just this butting of heads.
Speaker 2:But it's not only, it's not solely just you, it's you the nomad, and then jose well, it was squashed between my character and vick's character, but what got me was that the whole stealing of the wolf thing and I was like, dude, I'm gonna have to 1v1 this dude right now. And and then jose jumped in.
Speaker 1:He's like no, I'm not gonna let it happen turned into a 1v2 so our group happens upon this cave and we encounter more goblins, but also there are wolves. There are a pack of wolves, three, so there were three that were chained up. Luckily, our druid spoke with them. Via her, her abilities speak with animals, speak with animals and, um, she was able to communicate with them and be like hey, like what's what's the situation here, fellow quadrupeds? What's up my dudes? What's funny is that we weren't supposed to acquire these fucking wolves. No, the party was not supposed to acquire the wolves, but we made this move of not well, not we, I speak just in general. But whoever had the initial idea to control them, was it you?
Speaker 2:well, I well, it was my idea to get applejack the the horse. And I was like, okay, well, I tamed this horse, but the horse has a stupid name, so I'm going to let it be on its way. And so I was like I want to tame something. And so then we pull up to the wolves and I was like a wolf is my favorite animal, I need a wolf, and so that's where it started.
Speaker 1:And so we acquired wolves, not the most goaded of wolves. That's where, that's where it started. And so we acquired wolves not the most goaded of wolves. We encountered a wolf, and well, not only wolf. We encountered clark clark. Clark was was the mini boss of the cave, but um, he had the most goaded wolf, ass ripper. Apparently, ass ripper just was too detrimental to the party to save. I was informed that we killed Assripper. I thought Assripper survived.
Speaker 2:I one-shot him.
Speaker 1:I thought Assripper was a part of the party. Granted, the wolf's name wasn't Assripper, it was just Ripper. But Assripper was more metal of a name and I one-shotted a goblin with Guiding Bolt and that was cool as fuck.
Speaker 2:That was the one cool thing that I've done. I. I haven't done much else. I I think you did pretty good in that in that second session, but we'll get.
Speaker 1:We'll get to that point when we get to that point, but yeah, we're almost out of the cave. You know where we ended off the night. We defeated the goblins who took down clark was that you?
Speaker 2:that was. I thought it was to say it was me and my wolf, like we. That's how we finally got the bond that we did like that's when I tamed. It was when I took down ripper and then I kind of like looked over at it because so I asked which one was like the alpha of the pack when we first entered the cave. So there wasn't like an alpha at the time, there was like a beta. But because I killed the alpha, the wolf that I had then like took over as alpha and then simultaneously I convinced it to attack Clark with me and between the two of us we ended up doing enough damage to like just one shot him basically. Well, I guess Jose hit him with like a headbutt and it did like seven damage Tight.
Speaker 1:The headbutt was tight and he was like I'm the king now, and the incentive was that it will feed you with the carcasses of the. The fucking enemies will feed you the dead bodies. And they were like all right, we don't get fed, so we'll join you. Oh, we threw a goblin off a bridge too. Yeah, we threw a goblin. Hey, we're tight dude.
Speaker 2:We're tight at just running fades on people I think we weren't supposed to fight like two people or two groups of enemies and we just decided to do it.
Speaker 1:We just engaged everybody, yeah, and so that's where we ended the first part of the campaign, like at the very beginning. And when we came back, you know, we picked up from where we were. We made our way back up this cave passage, over a bridge, and we happened upon a separate chamber within that same cave system. Who was it Like? Vic was the first one, because remember someone snuck up.
Speaker 2:I think he was sneaking up, but then Jose also tried to sneak up, but he's a big ass bugbear fighter that has no sneaking capability, so he got founded pretty quickly.
Speaker 1:We stumbled upon not only a group of goblins, we also stumbled upon one of the. Who was he? The partner, the partner of the benefactor. That was like funding the whole, you know, running of goods.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:It was like his homeboy, yeah, like fucking Isildur Lord of the Rings. So we stumbled upon him. But not only that enter fucking loric night weaver. The introduction was so I have to tell you, dude, from like a um, just a nerdy, like being a fan of shit like that, yeah, danny, as a dm, being like they have someone captive, and I was like, oh my god. I was like oh my God. I was like it's fucking Sergio. And that's how we introduced him. He gave us, you know, the captive was Sergio's character, the bard, the Loric Nightweaver, and that's why I was calling it the bound bard, because we fucking happened upon this fool All chained up Playing the fucking lute, playing the harpsichord.
Speaker 1:I was like please, fucking loot playing the harpsichord. He's like please, he didn't want to fight, he didn't know, he was all scared. That's because they were fucking threatening the whole clark. He was gonna spend the night with clark on some real fucking berserk shit, on some goblin slayer type shit, and he fucking just, he couldn't, he couldn't do, was all pacifist. Again, we had this huge encounter. I think our druid took someone down in like wild shape, yeah, as a wolf, and that was cool as fuck. I think all of us, for the most part took people out.
Speaker 2:I took one person out, but that was later.
Speaker 1:I know I had some weak hits in that encounter. I don't know that I downed anybody like you know. How do you want to do this? Yeah, I don't think I had that much luck in that encounter, but it got to the point where we again we in general as a group, I believe we had to coerce Lorik into engaging.
Speaker 2:I had to use command on him.
Speaker 1:He's like pick up your sword, you fucking silly nanny Attack and fucking he rapiered someone. Yeah, and that was cool as fuck. I think that shit was cool, that shit, the way it played out was cool as fuck. And so we wrapped up all of that encounter by oh no wait.
Speaker 2:But we told one of the goblins if they could fight fucking everybody like they could run the fate with everybody they would get out alive. Well, the thing was, if he killed everybody, every other goblin in the cave we would let him walk. The thing is is I couldn't let that happen because I'm a paladin, had an oath, and in an oath of vengeance so violence.
Speaker 2:So with paladins right, a paladin gets their power by making an oath to a God or to some ideal or to something, saying I will do this thing no matter what, no matter what happens, I will follow this oath unless I like until I die. So when I found out that and my oath is an oath of vengeance, so it's, it's basically I'm going to defeat those who have done evil to others or to people or whatever, and when I found out that this was the person that held, you know, our bard Lorik captive and held the wolves captive, I couldn't stand for that. So, even though Vic's character was the one that was like, hey, if you kill everybody, we'll let you walk, I couldn't stand for that. So, even though Vic's character was the one that was like, hey, if you kill everybody, we'll let you walk, I couldn't let him walk.
Speaker 2:If you don't follow your tenets, if you don't follow your oath, you then break your oath and your powers are gone. Isn't that a class though? An oath breaker? Yeah, it is, but you have to. Then like I don't really know the exact thing, but basically you go into like dark magic and like necromancy and stuff that's.
Speaker 2:That was my understanding of it yeah but I was like so it's definitely cool, but I'm not set up for any of them, so like, if I break my oath I'm fucked. Yeah, which? Yes, I'm just a regular guy with a, with a hammer, I'm just pop the builder, dude, I'm not hey, but the hammer has consistently been imbued with holy water. I have to it's a people call it metagaming, but it is what it is. If there's water, I'm gonna make holy water as far as like metagaming.
Speaker 1:My understanding was so like to use critical role as a as an example. They had very early on in their campaign they they had a dragon born character and that player's whole thing was that he was just being sort of a problematic player Was that um shoot?
Speaker 2:what was his name? They had to kick him out.
Speaker 1:They had to kick him out because he was just, you know, on some different types of stuff. Yeah, His whole thing was like, let's say, they're going to fight I don't know a fucking beholder, and it's it's like okay, well, I know, like, outside of the game, I know a lot of information about how to defeat a beholder, and because my character isn't equipped for that and I know that my player is not built or you know like well equipped or well leveled up to even, um, like go through that encounter. So they're like okay, well, we're gonna make our way to, uh, you know, to fight this beholder. Well, I'm actually gonna go to this fucking you know like, uh, this library in so-and-so town and I'm gonna go do some studying because I don't want to have that encounter. But that's knowledge that's already. Like, like, you've determined that knowledge in game, like you brought that out, that knowledge that you already have into the game, and so you just don't want to have that encounter.
Speaker 1:So he's like well, I'm gonna go and do this, and then you guys, are gonna do it it's like gandalf riding off into the sunset and lord of the rings, like right in the beginning yeah where he's like I'm gonna go talk to saruman because I know this and he fucking takes off yeah, and it's like how did you know that?
Speaker 2:you know?
Speaker 1:yeah, well, I mean, metagaming is knowing something that your character wouldn't otherwise normally know I wouldn't assume or I wouldn't take the actions of a paladin imbuing your weapon, like just having holy water on hand, or imbuing your your weapons like just within game, like at an opportune time, like that, at a source of water. I think that's just like the fact that you're aware of what you can do with your character. Yeah, we ended that encounter with.
Speaker 2:I think I took enough hit points away from him to where that's when I looked over at Sergio's character and I was like, hey, since he held you captive, would you like to do the honors and kill the man that held you captive for this time? And that's when he did his thing, where Danny was like how do you want to do this? And he had that moment.
Speaker 1:And, in the campaign continuing, we found our destination for the goods. And then the campaign continued and we found our destination for the goods, and then we spent about 40 minutes on doing shit for wolves. Yeah, motherfuckers man, these guys spent like a good two hours and it was just well. I'm going to get some armor and I'm going to build my wolf rocket ship and my wolf's tap dancing right now.
Speaker 2:After that I felt really bad about the 1v1 because I was like this is taking away too much time. It's taking away too much time from the like you know big picture and so like that's why in the in the group chat I was like I don't want to do any more like like side bars, I just kind of want to focus on the story, the one maybe the 1v1 would be cool if we, if we play it the way other players have where you cut it.
Speaker 1:You know where I mean contextually, within the story. You cut it off at, obviously, whoever is like taking the upper hand of the fight. Right, I think, like in terms of the wolf fucking thing, I was like man, come on, I'm a robot. Our druid's a fucking tabaxi, so she's just a cat. She chills with me on the fucking on the head, on the shoulders, and we just, well, I don't have dark vision, so I need a flashlight. That's, that's how I get around.
Speaker 1:We ended up going our separate ways. These guys went to like the, the smitty. We went to like the town hall. We met the, like the town master. You went to a shrine. I got a side quest. You went to a shrine and you ended up getting like a little like attunement or something. We found out about a tunnel where, like, the locals had been seeing goblins right or goblins had been appearing from that tunnel, something like that. Yeah, but where we ended the night was at the sleeping giant, and the sleeping giant was the local tavern where we possibly could get some fucking answers we could have. Well, it hasn't ended.
Speaker 2:We killed everybody in the tavern.
Speaker 1:No, I thought it was two standings, though no one's unconscious. So we got in this encounter. The nomad's character is a herring and it's a big fucking rabbit and this will try to go like real inconspicuous and just try to go chill in the bar, in the tavern, and they all saw him and made fun of him.
Speaker 1:Silly webbit and then grugthar is. Jose grugthar tried to go and like I think he just like just broke through the fucking door. He's like we drink and he's just there now. Our druid snuck in and was like in the rafters hiding, yeah, and I was hanging out in the back. I was hanging out at the back door like keeping watch.
Speaker 2:But it became this big scuffle.
Speaker 1:That's because lorik was failing his performance check oh he, yes, and then lorik was performing, so I think lorik went in first yeah and he was like I'm the performer, I'm gonna play until my fingers bleed and they're like fuck you, get him off the stage, oh brother. This guy stinks. And then the Nomad's character went in. Lago Day takes no shit, Doesn't take shits at all. So Lago went in and then he tried to be real Aragorn about it, and they saw him. He had no cloak, no, he was just all big ears.
Speaker 2:He's a fucking rabbit. For those of you who don't know Vic's character, think of like a rabbit, but not just any rabbit. He's a big fucking bunny who has even bigger ears, and so he's maybe about like four or five standing, but his ears give him like another.
Speaker 1:It makes him seven.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it makes him like five, eight or something crazy like that.
Speaker 1:And his whole character direction is that Lago is like real stoic, he's like very piccolo in nature, and then it just took that curve where they're like who the fuck is this guy? He's a fucking rabbit. And then you know, then Grockler is in there and again he's just a big fucking brute. How did you get?
Speaker 2:into the fucking. Well, I was coming back from the shrine so I was doing my thing with the priestess. What did he say?
Speaker 2:Like sidebar. When I come back I might try to try to, you know, make a holy alliance, I don't know, but uh, but anyway. So like I was coming back from the shrine so I didn't get there until you guys were like mid-fight. So I I just kind of showed up mid-fight like by the gods you ran in. Yeah, no, I I ended up coming in. Yeah, I think like two people were already downed and I just pulled up with my wolf.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. Oh so Lago had a wolf right and they saw one of them. That's why it started, the crowd clocked in. They're like get that fucking dog out of the bar. That shit's crazy.
Speaker 2:Danny did a good job of like rousing the situation, yeah and that's where you did your cool shit, where the guy was trying the. So there was two people left. One was already knocked, knocked unconscious, and then the other one was like trying to make his way out the back door, but before he could get out, I think you cast your.
Speaker 1:I forgot what spell it was did I kill him yeah I didn't think I did I thought it ended with like I just wounded someone. No, you killed him.
Speaker 2:And here's the thing that I was going to bring up. I was actually going to invite you your, your character with me to the shrine because you're a cleric, and I've been trying to find a way to be like, hey, you're fucking holy somehow. Some way, let me, let me try to engage this guy, and that's why I was trying to like get more information from you of like you you speak of we, like who's we, and so my interpretation of like we is like you and whatever holy spirit you have, because you're a cleric. So that's why I keep thinking like we is you and and the this virtuous being that you have with you, and I'm like, okay, cool, like he's brought in whatever lord he worships or whatever I don't know. But that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to like invite you to the shrine so I could see if, like, there was any type of interaction there with you too, being a cleric and all.
Speaker 1:You want to know something about my character. You have to find out.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm trying to do you have to find out? That's what I'm trying to do. No, I need to, uh, I need to build upon that, uh, that cleric aspect. That's what I will say, because I've I've done some other background stuff, like especially what danny was helping me with, but it's like for a campaign that's only going to get us to level 12. I mean, that's why I, I have the one thing that I do want to do with that character. I think I I do want to have him like, I won't mind killing him off by the end of it if we end up building into another campaign. That's why I won't mind it.
Speaker 1:I mean, obviously, if it doesn't work out the way I, like I would like for it to, then fucking whatever yeah but I do need to build something on that, on that cleric aspect, to be able to utilize it more like more of the intricacies of it, like I'm still learning my own fucking class. Yeah, and it was, and I only picked cleric really because I did want to help more than just be like like I wanted to be a you know the tiefling warlock or a warlock, even then, just like a human warlock, but it was like in terms of, uh, I had been watching stuff on like leveling and like team building and, um, it was. It was joe manganello, again in the, I think in the same interview or in the same campaign, where he's like it's tricky to get people to be clerics because they don't want to play them. I think I had had that in mind.
Speaker 1:I don't know that could be an opinion thing. I don't know if that's actually based in like the, the actual, like structural hierarchy of, of like classes. Right, you know, I'm a new fucking player, so anything that I like I'm trying to take in as much as I can. And when you hear more than one like opposing opinions or like opinions that are differentiating in nature or whatever, you know the person's trying to like what their point is trying to get across. You're like, oh shit, well, I don't know. No, I don't know right.
Speaker 1:But once danny was like, well, we don't have a cleric, I was like I'll be a clerk, because like that, or be a like in terms of the of warforged, like that of that race, like in the lore aspect, they're like skirmishers, they're warriors. You know, fighters or fighters. So I do want to do something with that, but I don't know if it'll fit you want to be a grog.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want to try to establish something where because, like, when we do long rests, like contextually for the story Fred as a Warforged, they go into like this, basically like sleep mode, where they're still fully like they can hear everything, they can see everything that's going on, but, like, because of the way that they are just in nature, they're like in sleep mode. They're just sort of like hanging out until you activate them again. And they're like in sleep mode. They're just sort of like hanging out until you activate them again. They're like, okay, let's go.
Speaker 1:I wanted to do something as far as like, as far as like on the lore side, where if I um but I think it would fall into multi-classing, I'm not sure I mean because we, I think we lean more towards like on a on a homebrew side, where fred in the midst of combat would because I know I had said like for the long rest where you hear him sort of like whispering fucking things, but it's because he's having these splashes of like, these scenes and these flashes of of events that happened, but like he doesn't know from when or from where like he's just seeing faces and things happening, but that's mainly more.
Speaker 1:That's more of like a backstory thing, like he's he's experiencing things from before. Shit got bad on abram, but now he's like here in this realm or wherever we're at. You know what I mean. But I want to do something with like because in my mind it's like okay, we're active in battle and Fred goes from like a neutral Fred where he's. Maybe you see him with like a blue. I don't know, We'll say that he glows blue. You know, normally when he's talking to people and in combat, combat.
Speaker 1:Maybe it because of the of the combat aspect it reflects into like an action mode, and so, instead of glowing blue, he would glow some kind of like something that symbolizes, like the action of what's going on so maybe he might turn red.
Speaker 1:But I wanted to do something where it's like, well, now he's past that, he's not even fred anymore, he's a skirmisher, fucking warforged again. It's like he's having, he's having flashbacks because he's in combat. So he goes from just being like sentient and awake, you know fred and friends and all that shit, and he just goes into like a normal war fords, like a skirmisher, like a warrior or a knight, and he's just black and he's just in fucking.
Speaker 1:You know it's like uh naruto getting the nine tails coat yeah where it's like in in more of uh, the main character takes a back seat, yeah, and it's like the kurama, you know, takes the head of what's going on right or like in again in berserk guts it's not guts takes a back seat when he's wearing the berserker armor and the berserker armor takes control, yeah, where it's something like that.
Speaker 1:But I'm like I don't know how much I can do with the character within the campaign that we're doing you, you know what I mean. I would like to do that, like from a creative standpoint, but I don't know if we have the budget to do that, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I guess my mind straight went to something. But I could tell you I guess off mic, off pod.
Speaker 1:The Patreon section of the show. But I think the highlight of the last encounter was Loric is engaging in the action too, and he casts dissonant whisper he made a guy stab himself in the head, he made a guy delete himself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the way that that action played out in the, the context of the scene and stuff, where it was like he's hearing these voices and he's like make it soft or that he's trying to cut it out of himself, like I think sergio had described that in the in our little group chat Cause now we have a D and D group chat the way that the description of it went, where it was like I got to cut it out, like he's trying to cut the voices out of his fucking head, yeah, that shit was crazy as fuck. I liked it. I've dude.
Speaker 2:I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe it's egotistical. I don't make you feel the way that they do like, because you would see everything from the lens of a kid. This, what we're doing now with D&D, is the only thing, as of late, that has made me feel like a kid again and like everything else was like all right, it's off. Like I'm playing dnd like this. This is what I'm focused on. Like the background is just done and like I find myself like looking forward to it. I'm just like, hey, I'm a little bored. What can I do? Look into some dnd stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm you know all this stuff and it's just fucking cool.
Speaker 1:I don't know it's, it's time that's all I do now since, like talking about it, actively starting up playing and then now that we have like actually you know, making some headway into the campaign, that's all I fucking do. I watch different channels critical role, geek and sundry legends of adventurists. I watch interviews. I listen to different players like what their creative process. I watch like tutorials, like tips on you know creating or you know how to advance, tips on like how to add two characters. I tried to like the idea with switching that combat mode, rage mode, where fred goes from fred to being you know having like the fucking ptsd fred where he's you know back like he's a skirmisher again. He's not. He's not sentient. Well, not sentient in the sense that, like you know, why am I here? Who am I like?
Speaker 1:right, you know, existential, existential crisis trying to discover a thing, because in this plane, where we're at, where fred's at up until this point, where he's met this group, everything before this fred's been trying to figure out and that's what helps you is that, um, as far as his background, he's an, he's an outlander, where he is having to survive and, you know, he's trying to learn the world around him and he's trying to just with every experience he's learning something. Maybe he's had other hire for pay sort of work, because he's like you know, he's, he's a fucking robot, so he doesn't know.
Speaker 1:Maybe he's been coerced into other like seedy sort of activity, and that's where the neutral nature of him comes from yeah where he's like well, this isn't good, this is bad, he's like, but my friends are telling me that this is what we need to do. Yeah, and then you know, whatever the outcome is, it's bad. We're stealing money. Maybe we fucking end up killing someone. Like that comes through like a robbery or some other seedy shit.
Speaker 1:Like fred just grows yeah but fred has the judgment enough to be like, well, that's bad, we're hurting people. But also my friends are telling me that I have to hurt you. But now, like up until this point where it's like, where did we find this guy? And it's like, well, that's you know. People just know him sort of around the way he does jobs. He doesn't ask any questions. We'll say yeah, because he doesn't.
Speaker 1:He questions everything yeah, he doesn't know what the fuck anything is. And so now he met this group and he's like friends, friends, friends, friends. Like where you know I'm helping friends, I'm doing these things for my friends. But now it's more of like this again to keep and I fucking hate that I keep saying you know context, but I don't know any other words. But contextually we're building on that background where it's like now he's growing more you know emotionally and you know, maybe he's just, he's lifing a lot more. Yeah.
Speaker 1:He's experiencing these things. That's where I think that switch would fucking be cool as fuck. Where it's like like, hey, fred, like what's up, like what's going on, and it's Fred turns around and he's just fucking like, and he's a totally different person. You don't know who this Fred is. Yeah, at this point, fred doesn't look like Fred. Fred is a totally different fucking thing and it's like, yeah, because he's not fucking war. Yeah, like, that's where he's at and that's where I want to do the switch, because he he's equipped with the mace and I wanted it to go from a mace to a fucking sword, because they have skirmisher knights yeah and but it's like how do you fucking, you know, how do you explain that?
Speaker 1:and it's like well, now this fool don't have a mace anymore. His his hand just retracted into a fucking knife like assassin's creed, because he's not on this plane right now, he's on fucking ebron. Well, the way I I figure he's, because where fred starts he's just another warforged just out doing dirt for whoever the higher-ups are yeah the antagonist side of the war or the battle, you know, which ends up leading him down this whole other fucking path. Then he gets blasted into this fucking plane.
Speaker 2:All right, the way that you're describing it makes me think like barbarian, like rage. All right, I'm going to bounce this idea off of you. Take it as you will. So my character I think I've told my story where, like he just started off as a blacksmith, Friends went to war. He wanted to be there with his friends and he ended up being their blacksmith and whatever His friends got murked, Everything went to shit. Shout out Vic. Shout out Vic, Fucking asshole.
Speaker 2:But anyway, he runs off to a temple and the temple is run by clerics and this temple is known for taking people in. So they take in outsiders and just build them up and then they send them on their way. That's basically their thing. What if, at some point before I got there, you were there? Maybe you were? That's how you ended up becoming a cleric. That temple took you in because you need nothing else, and they just saw the sentient being there. And then afterwards you did your thing and you went on your way and you ended up with the party.
Speaker 2:But you know you're not a cleric. You just take over the cleric because clerics took you in. That's all you know. You just took over the cleric because clerics took you in. That's all you know. So it would make sense for you to like in your next level, multi-class, into whatever else you wanted to, where. That's where you learned how to be, you know, friend, good, bad, so on and so forth. But you know, at your nature you're this machine made for. I don't know something to think about. No, that's pretty sick and maybe that's how I end. He was one of one of them. Food for thought.
Speaker 1:That works Because that was my whole thing is like hashing out the aspect of Fred's background. So, as of the moment, there's like bullet points and whatever, like Fred is Fred, he just survives, he doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, just meditates, chills out. But that it rounds out the background enough, assuming that we have like the context enough to like bring it up. You know what I mean, I'm sure, but that actually works. That makes sense to me because the only the only detail that I had that would establish fred's connection to everybody, because when we were doing like our session zero, where we were trying to like just hash out you know like our character sheets and background and sort of like, they're getting the rough draft of everything yeah I had ran it by uh, danny, because danny was like can I pull you from another plane?
Speaker 1:and I was like, okay, we'll check this out after the outcome of the calamity that befell everon and it's warring people, which is like this side and this side. I have to read back with the book after read the book, like because the lore is in there. Yeah, there's one aspect that I want to use. It's a sort of celestial. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:That would be these voices that Fred hears, sort of like in Borderlands where you hear angel Mm-hmm, and that's what Fred hears when he's gonna sleep, and it's like Brad just start stabbing himself to get the voices out. Yeah, and it's like Brad Just starts stabbing himself to get the voices out. Get out of my head. But at the end, in the calamity that befell Eberron, fred, in a last-ditch effort, was cast from Eberron. Oh, it does fucking work, fuck HD. It does work because Fred's whole thing is to upkeep an oath and so he's cast from Eberron and it's like maybe in some time in some place you can undo the evil that you've done. Well, in that sort of that transition where he's coming from, where he's being cast out, the only one connecting thing was like on that day, here in that time and in that day, the people of this area, when they looked to the sky, they saw a star, and some considered it an omen. Some considered it a sign of good faith, some considered it like a sign of change. Some considered it a sign of good faith, some considered it like a sign of change. But it was fred. It wasn't even. It wasn't. It wasn't, uh, like a shooting star, or like a good omen or anything. It was fred. It was literally a physical body being cast, breaking through the atmosphere, falling to earth and that's where it ends up, you know, picking up at some point wherever the fuck he's found. So maybe clerics do fucking find him, I don't know, like boy, young boy, he's, like I'm not a boy.
Speaker 1:Toretto again, the artist, devil knows fucking. We're in deep um. He wants to join something to think about it's. I don't know. That's tight fucking dnd dude. It makes me feel like I'm doing something with with my head hey, we got, we got our session going on Tuesday.
Speaker 2:We got people calling out for this shit. That's fucking funny.
Speaker 1:So anyway, we ended up, we closed out the fucking encounter with, I guess like Holy Domain or you know.
Speaker 2:Domain expansion.
Speaker 1:Holy Light, that's where we closed out the night, but right now we're playing off of like a mix of VIX, like confirmed fucking days off, yeah, and then also like Sergio has like his schedule, jose and Danny have their schedule. Well, I think everybody can, because for the most part, you and I are the only ones that are like normal, like Monday through Friday, yeah, like after you know, like five or fucking whatever, but everybody else is like like real, real clunky fucking schedule.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I think everybody could do Saturday evenings, but we just have a lot of other holidays coming up Fucking holidays.
Speaker 1:That's literally all it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's just like making time. Don't go see your family, dude, just play D&D. My grandma died. I don't got to go see nobody, I play D&D, we'll just, I don't got to go see nobody, I play D&D.
Speaker 2:We'll just cast Revivify on them or something I don't know I have speak to the dead or some shit Talk to my grandma.
Speaker 1:One more time I have turn undead as an action. You present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censoring the undead. Each undead that you see or that you can see, that can see or hear within 30 feet of you must make a wisdom saving throw yo.
Speaker 2:And then I see you bust out your holy symbol and I look at you and it's the same fucking holy symbol I have why do you have that symbol?
Speaker 1:and I fucking, I'm just like who are you metal man? What's your name? Or however, you're fucking. I feel like your guy is basically like Timothy Chalamet. I swear to God, I feel like your guy is basically Timothy Chalamet.
Speaker 2:Oh God, dude, I almost spit on my drink there. That's funny.
Speaker 1:So what are you have that you automaton, and I'm like I don't know, I don't know, oh God know, oh god, that's good, jk, and I just fucking go into my little dormant mode. Just, baymax, it's just tight. I mean, fuck like, until we get to level 12. I'm sure it's gonna take us a minute to fucking get through this campaign this is gonna take us a while we're at level two that's crazy. So and what so? As of right now, we have Tuesday coming up. We're going to play for like two hours.
Speaker 1:Just to get some shit in.
Speaker 1:Just to take the edge off. We got to be ready, dude, because we have oh look, I'm not even speaking to the fucking audience, I'm speaking to everybody else who's a part of the campaign. We cannot fucking dilly dally. Once it's Tuesday, we have literally from fucking eight o'clock or whatever, to ten To ten-ish, ten-ish, because it's a school night and then all of us got to work. For the most part, I got to be up at six, so do I. None of us. We cannot fucking. Hey, my wolf needs some fucking. My wolf needs some fucking. My base needs air. I reckon my base needs a fucking cannon. Fuck that. We gotta fucking. Hey, we have what? Those blue lions or whatever the fuck, those guys that we gotta talk to, the guys from Skyrim, the Jarlsons or whatever. We gotta talk to them. We gotta go investigate that tunnel. I gotta do my side quest with you guys. Oh my god, we gotta question that, because didn't we keep someone alive, or am I?
Speaker 2:we gotta question the fucking red coat.
Speaker 1:The british are coming that's all he's gonna say, that you want to sign? I feel just die, because after that we have december 6th, 7th, 7th, which shout out Ohana Comic Con, modesto Comic Con, is that Sunday, the 8th? And then, oh, actually after Tuesday, if we don't have anything scheduled, we have a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:One shot, maybe, perhaps you think I hope so I might just take some dice with me. I'm gonna take my stuff, have it on you. It's just a matter of playing, because I don't want people going and fucking with us either yeah, because we're not gonna be in our normal spot.
Speaker 2:No, either that or we ditch that early and come back back here. I don't mind, I don't give a fuck if we fucking come back here, I'll eat my, my turkey ass and drive and drive back home.
Speaker 1:I don't care tell your plus one to drive, hey, you can just eat on the way. Get it and some bread and a sandwich and just eat all of it. Ball it up, ball it up, hella ugly, just make one big ass ball up, like Ron Weasley when he was like I'm alright, and he had the ball of bread. Just do that. Blend it with some fucking creatine and drink.
Speaker 2:Just make it a liquado, bro, oh my god, an agua, an agua that'd be wicked talk about wicked.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna go see that shit on monday yeah it comes out on monday or is it like a special showing?
Speaker 1:so fandango had a special promotion through amazon prime. If you had amazon prime you could buy these advanced tickets to go and it's like its own early, early screening and so we're going to go see it. We've been pretty stoked on that. It looks like a good movie. I don't know if you knew this this is totally aside Wicked related. So Wicked in their promotion was running everything. Wwwwickedcom. That's a porn site, yeah.
Speaker 1:So we found out and we're over here buying all this merch and so they have these toys, these dolls like the deluxe, like display dolls that come out and we go to walmart to, to our knowledge, the stores are pulling them. They can't sell them. They're having recalls. We go to walmart and, um, and they had two nice, one of each witch of, uh, alphaba and fucking glenda, and we're like, oh, uh, we found these out. We thought we were slick. We went up to self-checkout, scanned them. They didn't come up. They said not in stock and, uh, they found out about them. They're like, oh, there's two more. And we're like, oh, yeah, we found them on the floor like they were just there yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they were like oh, you know what it's, because you know the the company, they're not supposed to promote them yet they're out. Well, no, it was still the middle of the recall, Fuck. Ok so we're looking around, still find out that just around the corner Kohl's has them, has them all in stock. I go and get two of them, one of each, the deluxe boxes All Kohl's did and I won't say which, because I don't know if it'll get them in trouble.
Speaker 2:I know exactly which Kohl's you're talking about?
Speaker 1:Oh, you do, but the audience, they may not know. Someone might listen to us. They work at Kohl's and they find out that I know their secret, their dirty little secret. All they did was put a sticker over the website, and so all they did was put a blank merchandise sticker over it. So we got two of those and we just took the stickers off. Right now they're reselling for $200. No, they're not. Each doll Nice With, and this is with, because this is now a defect as far as collecting goes. This is now a defect because it has a whole history behind it. That's a porn site. So we now have two of these fucking dolls, one of each, which I would have bought more. So we, we just happen to have well, not we, not me, I'm not buying the dolls, and so, fucking, we have the limited edition.
Speaker 1:wicked the porno dolls tight tight, hey boss, hey yo, hey yo. What the fuck awaken. I'm gonna go see that on monday.
Speaker 2:I know, I know we want to go watch it. I just don't know when, because we'll be out of town this weekend, so probably when we get back, yeah, probably it's gonna be busy.
Speaker 1:I can already tell you I'll probably have to go during the week, something shout out to wiccan, shout out to not ariana grande, and ariana grande, I don't know. I dude. All respect to her because the other, the other uh, actress, the singer, yeah, she's fucking good. Yeah, she's so fucking good like ariana grande. Everybody knows who the fuck she is, but this other girl's fucking crazy. She's super talented. So I'm more like it looks like a good movie. Either way. I was aware of the book. I didn't know it was a play.
Speaker 2:I've never watched the Wizard of Oz. No no. But then again, I never watched Lord of the Rings until recently.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm speaking now, like currently, because my aunt, she was real into like musicals and bullshit like that, and so we had like the original VHSs of like Wizard of Oz where you could still see the little person hanging, jesus. And so we had like the original VHS's of like Wizard of Oz where you could still see a little person hanging and it wasn't a bird, no, I think it's always been a bird. I'd like to think it was a Crazy, a pause. Hey, yo, pause. Yo, I'm gonna keep that in. I'm gonna fucking edit your voice to do it. I'm gonna do AI. I don, I'm going to fucking edit your voice to do it. I'm going to do AI, ai.
Speaker 1:I don't know how to use any of those programs. I don't even know the first place to look. Meta AI Huh, that's all we use. Yeah, meta AI to fucking do our depictions of the fucking story. Hey, they work out, dude, except for Vic. Except for Vic, it won't. It'll do a little bunny. It's a little fucking bunny. It's just a rabbit. It's just a rabbit, bro. No clothes or anything, just the animal, the little animal. And we're like it's like real crazy action scenes and then just a rabbit's right there. You're like what the fuck's going on? Hey, yo respect to little people, but I think you could live without watching it, unless you really want to be like you know pop culture-y about it, to know like the significance of like the references, but I just grew up in a house with older people so I knew what it was speaking of.
Speaker 2:Good musicals. Watch greatest showman I'm sure you have with you jackman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but for the audience watch greatest showman.
Speaker 1:Shout out to you how many more x-men movies you think you'll do?
Speaker 2:secret wars. You think that'll be it. I think secret wars will be done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I hope so, and it's he's done a lot it's like he's done a lot and I think, realistically, as much as we want to see the x-men and we want all these things for these movies, we have to be realistic about the actors, the individual. Like we age sadly, we age. Yeah, these stories can go on forever, but not the people. The people cannot go on forever. You can't have that body forever dude, dude.
Speaker 2:I could imagine what he had to put himself through to get the physique that he I know. I know he like totally dehydrates himself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like he goes into like crazy fucking calorie deficit, dehydrates himself. Jason, my blood does the same thing. Yeah, well, he did for aquaman. He would like, and then to get like real, like pumped and shit, to get a crazy pump, he would drink a beer and it would fucking just, you know, blow it up. Yeah, he'd get all fucking swole, but other, yeah, they have to do all kinds of crazy shit I would like to see taron egerton in the role taron egerton's he was one of the sick, sick alternatives.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like when they threw his name in the hat. It's a good one. The Cavalry I would love to see it. But I mean, jessica, I like Henry Cavill, but the thing is, he's fucking gigantic for one. Yeah, and the same thing. He's up there too, dude, I want to see Warhammer.
Speaker 2:I love Henry Cavill, but it's what I feel like what's happening with his career right now is like super sad because, like because it's just an action movie well it's, it's not even that but like as soon as they were done with his superman, it's like, well, they were done with the superman, done with gerald, right, well, he stepped aside from, he was done with gerald. But it's like now he's stepping away from these like two huge roles and it like I don't know what is he going to get cast as?
Speaker 2:He had Mission Impossible. Yeah, I would like to see him as what's it called 007?.
Speaker 1:That would be cool. And then he was in that shitty. What is that? Millie Bobby Brown, that Enola Holmes? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Actually I heard people like it.
Speaker 1:I've read varying things. I think it's meant for a very specific audience, not for us not for me, no, not for me I thoroughly enjoyed that fucking uh cameo though yeah but I uh, I don't know he's, because he's like he's a good looking guy, he could be a leading man, he's a good actor. He doesn't have like he doesn't have clunky acting, no like he's very well spoken and fluid in his cadence and shit. So I mean it's just the fact that he's fucking big, he's, he looks like a fucking action hero.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean yeah but like he could, I'm sure he could do other you know other shit, other serious things, whereas, like you look at the the other, the other end of the spectrum, like mark ruffalo playing the hulk and mark ruffalo is a little ass guy, yeah, and then he's playing like serious, like uh, like crime movies and bullshit, like drama roles, you know, and you're like, oh, that's the Hulk, this guy, this fucking dude, that's like 5'5" and he's like, hey, it's me.
Speaker 2:That'd be a good segment to do, or maybe like an episode to do of like when you get typecast.
Speaker 1:The guy that plays Hector.
Speaker 2:The guy that plays Hector.
Speaker 1:As we wind down, as always. As we wind down, as always. Do you have any additional notes? My beloved paladin, oath keeper.
Speaker 2:Maybe one day oath breaker Oof Blood hunter. I hope not.
Speaker 1:Blood hunter. You know they could turn into werewolves, that's tight. There's like classes of them. Yeah, so like mine right now, like for a cleric, it's like cleric, a light domain. Yeah, thank fucking God. After some of the videos I was watching, our druid is like the moon moon druid yes, and that one's, they say, is like the fucking tank. But yeah, there's a blood hunter. That's I think you could do either like a lycanthrope or you could do a vampire, I believe yeah pretty cool, but it seems kind of hard.
Speaker 2:I don't know, dude, we sidebar I guess I'll add this note all of the homebrew stuff that we've been sending. We have to get one of those guys like homebrew kits, where he talks about like the classes and the subclasses. Shut him out. I think his handle on Instagram is Gaming Brew.
