Love the campaign and I'm sorry if its not making the numbers you want. I wish you would not end it but I understand if you have to, either way I will continue to see what you all put out.
I'm not sure if the numbers were bad, but it's clear that Troy isn't happy with it. And if the GM isn't happy then that's a problem and moving on is a smart move. I'm not sure that PF2E is landing with them to begin with. Skid has made it pretty clear that he doesn't like it. The rest of the crew could take it or leave it, I'm sure.
I think the title is a reference to A hard days night - the 1967 musical comedy starring the beatles. We all remember how disappointed John Lennon the cleric was when Ringo came back as a bard instead of a tank
Since Syd has Bon Mot, she should use it as her first action since most of her spells seem to be will saves and will be less likely to be duds if she orders it that way. Also, if she demoralizes first as an action, shell lower AC and land biting words more often. Cool spell but the feeling sucks when it doesnt land the first time to get the ongoing effect.
I don't want to feel like this is at all a pile-on, a negative comment, or anything of the sort. But this episode and the last have been a huge return to form for me. I love it when the party has feel good vibes, is laid back, and is just having a great time with each other. Over the course of the series, this has not always felt like the case - mainly because things have been so intense and the stakes have been so high. I hope that the next Adventure or AP is a little more laid back and like these last couple of episodes, hopefully that will help stave off any player (or GM!) burnout. Keep up the great work GCP! I'm sure whatever you decide moving forward will be the best for the channel/series!
Side-note on matters sartorial: Kate and Syd look *amazing* this ep, while the fellas are dressed, per usual, in their "overslept after getting hammered at a frat-party" duds. The boys gotta step up their game!!
@mariovarga2892 I'd say his collared shirt is definitely better than the fleece mafia, but not nearly up to the bar Kate & Syd set. Classic fashion-jawn tweener.
I'm glad the crew was able to talk Troy down from trying to suffocate himself with one of those inflatable lawn Santas now that it's Dec 26th, and do the show.
ME TOO!! I was just grabbing it off of PlayStation last weekend, telling my GF how much I love the game and it was my first forever life game I’d played. 😂❤
I like how the guys (troy/joe) are unwilling to suspend disbelief about magical songs (basically, magic) being able to inflict harm, oh men and their emotional immaturity lol
Door shenanigans is something that is very silly, but also quite powerful in PF2e... That's why with my Champion I always destroy them to smithereens, to avoid sneaky enemies from abusing it.
This show is good. It’s free, fantastically produced and wonderfully entertaining. A bunch of dorks on the internet complain about how it’s played, composition, nerd points (er something) whatever. It is good. Please continue to make stuff like this. It is incredibly good. Just fuckin look at it. If you were playing anything else that wasn’t MATH WITH FRIENDS 2e, you wouldn’t have dorks interjecting with “how to play” bullshit opinions.
Correct. "The Naish" includes so many entitled man-babies that think they can dictate fun to the team despite having created nothing of value in their lives. The subreddit is a toxic circlejerk best avoided. I wish Troy would just ignore them all and do what he wants.
May I start a petition to just tweak the show instead of replacing it? I'm sure we'll love everything you guys will put out in the future, but I'm not sure if I can live in a world without Father 😅
It was a fort they had to fight through full of ogres and such. The end of it kicked off the next part of the campaign, and there was a building in the middle they never went in
Sydney's character cast multiple spells, which one are you referring to? Fear, Biting Words, and Cutting Insult are all 2e spells. Cutting Insult is an uncommon spell from the Firebrands book, so that might be what you aren't familiar with. Sydney also used Unexpected Shift, which is a Gnome Ancestry Feat.
@@Jackson79136 Thanks. It was the first one that gave fear on a successful save. I see now, thanks to your help, it is Cutting Insult. I'm not used to using uncommon spells.
I am enjoying this campaign but I think one of the problems for the viewer in this AP is we don't know who to hate there seems to be no big bads, even the PC deaths were just some wild creatures
Yeah this AP has been a bit of a mess of an adventure, through no fault of the players. I think the adventure (Book 1) just wasn't well thought out. Way too many single enemy fights, which even Paizo says you should limit. The adventure also seems to seriously lack direction and even a lot of people on the PF Reddit have complained about the campaign.
I dont think Syd can have access to that first spell she used. Cutting Insult is campaign specific to Firebrands because it requires you to be a second mark member of the firebrands. Blood Vendetta would be a fun and useful replacement if she did have to change it out.
Access is a bit of a weird thing in 2e. Cutting Insults is an uncommon spell, so if your GM runs their game such that anything uncommon you need special access to use, then it wouldn't be a valid option unless you meet the access requirements (being a second mark of the firebrands). Barring that restriction, meeting an access requirement isn't necessary to take a feat/spell/etc., it just explicitly allows it even if you normally only have access to common options. In most games I've played and ran, Uncommon is rarely a problem and only rare stuff gets shot down. Incidentally, both of Sydney's previous characters for this campaign, used similarly restricted options, namely, their weapons, both Lucky's Khopesh and Wakizashi as well as Asta's Katana are uncommon weapons.
Unbelievable!!! Matthew rolled rocks and turned my fan fumble into a fan critical. He was blessed by Norse Foundry.
No-one cares your crit got pulled 🤣
@@joebadgerL+Ratio, cope, seethe wallow in the fact that bolojoe had a great fan fumble.
Hey bro I care, nice one
Great fumble man! Love the name
I'm glad it added such a exciting moment to the episode.
Those dice rolls for Matthew off of a Nat 1 for that fan fumble into the peak rolls for a fan crit is absolutely wonderful!
RIGHT IN THE 'TWEENER!!!
Love the campaign and I'm sorry if its not making the numbers you want. I wish you would not end it but I understand if you have to, either way I will continue to see what you all put out.
The announcement that GW is ending has led me to buy the AP just so I can have the rest of the story.
@@alltradesjack502 I might do that as well.

When/where was this announcement? I can't find it and don't remember hearing it in the podcast
@@jules3484 It was in the last State of the Naish that Troy did solo.
I think the title is a reference to A hard days night - the 1967 musical comedy starring the beatles. We all remember how disappointed John Lennon the cleric was when Ringo came back as a bard instead of a tank
Hubert is Yoko Ono in this scenario, I presume.
So. THIS . . . is Christmas.
So good @dmeep !!
As a brit, it literally never occured to me that other countries' christmas doesnt include boxing day, my mind is blown
'Choppin' broccoli" is a cut deeeep into late 80's SNL...
I'm gunna miss gatewalkers but honestly this cast could just banter for an hour and I'd listen, so I'm sure whatever is next will be great!
I would legit listen to a banter podcast.
Sticks and stones may break his bones but songs will never hurt him 😂

This is Sydney we are talking about, she barely knows what game she is playing yet alone the rules.
I think this is the most we've seen of Kate's tattoos and they're freaking awesome.
I think at 34:14 Skid was gonna point out that Raul Julias last movie was actually street fighter lol
lol you can see him mentally correct himself and then decide it's not worth interrupting combat again
This is me pointing at the screen like Leonardo DiCaprio

Kate not knowing she can move 5 feet twice to not incur attacks of opportunity is mind boggling. They al need to take a refresher rule course.
Please, please, please do your Courageous Anthem! Group bonuses to damage are very hard to find.
33:34 Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em!
I was wondering if you have session to air tomorrow. Glad you are its like a birthday present :)
Great episode! I love bards. Yes, fhey are kinda rediculous ut that is half the fun!
Seems like the new synergy works great
Side-note on matters sartorial: Kate and Syd look *amazing* this ep, while the fellas are dressed, per usual, in their "overslept after getting hammered at a frat-party" duds. The boys gotta step up their game!!
I would argue that Matthew looked quite fresh

16:54 for Highbury!
I am *kicking* myself for not realizing Buggles was an Abe's Odyssey reference
ME TOO!! I was just grabbing it off of PlayStation last weekend, telling my GF how much I love the game and it was my first forever life game I’d played. 😂❤
I didn't put it together, but *wow* do I appreciate it! Amazing Skid- and thanks for the reminder of that 'ol gem. Time to replay that...
4:47, Syd's name still says Asta below it.
I like how the guys (troy/joe) are unwilling to suspend disbelief about magical songs (basically, magic) being able to inflict harm, oh men and their emotional immaturity lol
Sad to see GW end, but please keep the intro music!
I just ordered dice between Christmas and New year 😂
Can imagine Troy wrapping in paper and then Cling-Wrap.
Sadly ironic that after the announcement of this campaigns upcoming cancellation, we get this episode thats wall-to-wall classic GCP goodness
I believe the A hole crit reference is from the movie armys of darkness. a great b grade movie with Bruce Campbell its part of the evil dead world
Kate didn't get to use the held action "door opens I shoot". [Held] Action Kate
Please, Hammer, don't hurt em.
@troy they just closed the chicken connection 😭🐔🤤
Boxing Day you should all be watching the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
Door shenanigans is something that is very silly, but also quite powerful in PF2e...
That's why with my Champion I always destroy them to smithereens, to avoid sneaky enemies from abusing it.
Get celestial seasonings to sponsor this dreamtime tea episode
Hm I tried the Norse Foundry discount code to no avail.
Do you have the Honey browser extension? It's known to block some codes.
@@GlubbDrubb Nope! I'll try again.
What a silence from Troy!
This show is good. It’s free, fantastically produced and wonderfully entertaining.

It is definitely the best produced actual play. Somehow steel feels very authentic, too.
Correct. "The Naish" includes so many entitled man-babies that think they can dictate fun to the team despite having created nothing of value in their lives. The subreddit is a toxic circlejerk best avoided. I wish Troy would just ignore them all and do what he wants.
:party casts magic that shoots beams of light or alters the mind (totally normal)
:bard casts magic using sound (how unrealistic and un-immersive)
This guy gets it.
All the doors they come across in the future are going to be either shattered or mimics.
'Abe's Odyssey' is great :)
The Norse Foundry discount code wasn't working, said it was an invalid code :(
I asked the folks at Norse Foundry about this and the code should be working now! Sorry about that!
How did the 2 episodes after the cancelation announcement end up being among the best of the campaign
FYI Boxing Day was the servants' day off.
You would go and get the boxes from the Liquor store
UNO Mavericks, baby!!
Omaha REPRESENT!!
May I start a petition to just tweak the show instead of replacing it? I'm sure we'll love everything you guys will put out in the future, but I'm not sure if I can live in a world without Father 😅
I'm with you! I feel like the plan to fix things was to do nothing and then announce they were going to cancel it.
Would it be funny, if Joe plays a Bard next campaign
My only req for the next campaign. 20-30% less out of nowhere combat. I think this is a particular issue with the AP.
Tom O'Brien Fan critical fumble the most useful any O'Brien has ever been in this campaign.
I'm really, really going to miss that intro music. it SLAPS!
Still, no matter what comes next, I'll be here. #GCP4Lyfe
Sydney was the MVP of that fight, God damn that was good.
👏👏👏
Syd was born to be a bard
I can't believe she hasn't played one before
So this is the final episode of this campaign?
Nope. We don't have an end date yet. When we know we will for sure announce it.
😢@@TheGlassCannon
@TheGlassCannon that's good to hear!
Wait, isn't Red lake Fort where L'orc was stationed?
It was a fort they had to fight through full of ogres and such. The end of it kicked off the next part of the campaign, and there was a building in the middle they never went in
I am sad bo one acknowledged Skids Mars attacks reference. 1:25:35.
What was the spell Sydney's character cast? Where did she get it from? It is not one that I know of. Is it an AP spell?

@ it was Cutting Insult that confused me. I know a fair few spells but not the restricted ones
I LOVED abe's odyssey as a kid, but it's been a long time so I'm not too surprised I didn't guess it 😆
I know I played all those games when I was a kid, but I swear when I look it up it looks totally different than what I remembered
I am enjoying this campaign but I think one of the problems for the viewer in this AP is we don't know who to hate there seems to be no big bads, even the PC deaths were just some wild creatures
Yeah this AP has been a bit of a mess of an adventure, through no fault of the players. I think the adventure (Book 1) just wasn't well thought out.

That makes sense! Thanks for the thoughtful response!
Second is just first loser! Merry Christmas naish
I didn't know McHammer was the guy from "cant touch this"! That song you chose for the bard is terrible!!!
I celebrated Boxing Day.my whole life and I have no idea what it is about.
Does Joe feel compelled to shit on Sidneys every character? In character banter is one thing. This is another.
I recommend "Midnight Oil". Go Auz!
