DMs Dealing with Emily Axford
Caldwell (Trinyvale): Yeah! I made a new game mechanic based off that one off joke! Sure I don’t see why you can’t try that crazy shit you just said! Just as willing to get as wild as Emily.
Murph (NADDPOD): Your actions have consequences! All the crazy nonsense you said can totally be flavor unless it directly constricts an already established fact. I will add what I can into the story. I love my wife.
Brennan Lee Mulligan (Dimension 20): WHAT IS GOING ON??? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS????
YOU ARE AT THE FUCKING THRESHOLD OF THE NIGHTMARE KING’S FOREST AND YOU BURN THROUGH TWO (2) LUCK POINTS TO NOT GET FOUND OUT ABOUT YOUR CRUSH?? THIS IS THE MOST TEEN SHIT I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!

Guys I must admit that one of the absolute best parts of fantasy high is that Em and Murph being right across the table from each other means that every time one does something cool, the editors can easily cut to a clear shot of the other making heart eyez

Neverafter Premiere Episode
So, before I watch tonight's episode I wanted to put my thoughts out on the first episode. Firstly, yes I was able to get the subscription for Dropout and I'm already so fucking excited and happy.
Anyway, I'm already loving Neverafter! The horrific and morbid start has me hooked. I can't wait to see how this story unfolds. So far Ally's character is my favorite. The concept of this gay dude being haunted by a giant demonic goose is such an interesting take on Mother Goose.
Brennan's storytelling skills have already captivated me and this season is no different. His narration is so enveloping and the details he brings forward really help build the world surrounding these new lands. I can't wait to see how the intrepid heroes do.
A Court of Fey and Flowers
I finished watching ACOFAF a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to just write about my experience watching it.
First of all, I had never really watched anything regency before. I have read Jane Austin before so there were themes I was able to recognize. However, I quickly fell in love with this campaign. It was the first campaign I've watched for D20 that Brennan wasn't the DM for. All of the different campaign mechanics were so cool and caused such fun little stirs in the stories. From the rumors and secret lives of all the characters were so fun to watch unfold. Binx very quickly became my favorite character and this idea of her court being of craft and lost things really tugged at some heartstrings of mine.
I was also practically crying over Rue and Hob. I was cheering for them from the moment between them in the hunt. I've seen all of the different fanart across the tag and they all just make my little heart sing.
Aabria's DMing was so fun and she really set up this beautiful world full of wonder and whimsy. Along with how she had the other players also bring in their voices into the story, it gave such a wonderful feeling of trust and further developed these stories.
It quickly became one of my favorite campaigns thus far. I can't wait to watch the others.
Outta Pocket
"As you guys leave town, you see a woman in what appears to be red silks with various blades strapped to different parts of her body, holding a man above the River of Souls. A river, which you all know, is famous for killing whoever is dropped into it." Brennan describes the scene.
"I would like to roll an Insight check." Siobhan/Maiko the Kitsune Rogue spoke, holding up her d20 die.
"Ok. Go ahead and make an Insight check for me," Brennan says.
A clattering of die on table is softly heard through the dome and Siobhan's cringe is seen. "A 3?"
"Yep. Everything seems normal. This is fine. But this is the River of Souls, and scary lady is wearing a bunch of very sharp knives, so you begin to question whether this guy is okay."
"Okay. I want to slowly approach and kind of listen in."
"Alright, make a Stealth check for me."
"A 16."
"You are hidden in trees and can only be seen if someone really tries to find you. You could hear the Kings messenger on the way out of town, of course, so he is louder than before, and you can kind of hear what the stranger is saying." Brennan narrates what conditions Maiko is in.
"'PUH-PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! THE KING OF REGALIA ONLY MEAN TO SEND YOU A MESSAGE!' The messenger is going to make another charisma-saving throw..." Brennan rolls a d20 die behind his curtain, "'You know the saying: 'Don't kill the messenger!' And he begins to relax as he is then set upon solid ground by the stranger in red."
"I turn to leave and tell everyone what is going on." Siobhan as Maiko narrates what she does now.
"Great! Now, what happens next?" Brennan looks at you.
"I want to give him this false sense of security and just brush at his shoulders, kind of like superheroes do when they dangle someone over a roof and bring them back up just to do that and then dip out, but I want to say... 'I do believe in killing the messenger. You know why? Because it sends a message.' And then push him into the River of Souls." And a small pause ensues where everyone is looking at you in shock.
"Whoa..." Emily/Anabella the Human Bard says, looking at you, then Brennan, then back at you.
"THAT IS THE HARDEST SHIT I HAVE EVER HEARD." Lou/Oswaldo the Half-Elf Cleric slaps the table while everyone just looks at you in amazement.
"Okay! Hey, Y/N! Wanna introduce your character to the party?"
"Hey guys. I'm Ivy. I am a Blood Hunter Tiefling. I was originally a mercenary for hire but now I am a wandering traveler just trying to right the wrongs of society. In the most violent way possible." You introduce yourself to the group.
What a fun beginning to a DnD campaign.

No because why have I thought to start a campaign and use this as my opening line? Any-who, I have a LOT of drafts and a load of writers' block to get over, so I may be posting quite a few times. Have a great night! Bye!
I like the Dimension 20 Intrepid Heroes and just found out I can get more Murph & Axford tabletop adventures in Not Another D&D Podcast. Where's the best place to jump aboard? Help me naddpod likers!
