I live in Pennsylvania, a swing state that essentially won him the election this year. I feel so ashamed of my state and my country, we have been living amongst a cult of national scale. It’s just so embarrassing to be lumped in with America when this is who we choose as our leader. Thank you guys for your words and solidarity we fuckin need it.
I'll post this here like I did in the discord incase anyone needs a reminder “It's like the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.” ― Samwise Gamgee
I want to just thank you guys and the community you have built, regardless of any haters, you have created such a safe and welcoming space. I thank you all for being so supportive and thank you for fighting by our side. Secondly is the answer to the riddle a map.
I feel like a great quote to remember is from Andor, and it's a bit long...but: "There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try."
Ill admit i instantly caught the answer to the riddle at 47:05. If you dont know something with a forest but no trees, a city but no people, and a river but no water is.... A map! Ive heard the riddle before so i kinda clocked it after "city with no people", lol
Awhh guys! So happy the algorithm carried me here, it's been an absolute pleasure binging all your eps! :D I've been super into DnD for the past 2 years, doing 1 shots here and there with friends, but I'm now in the process of building my own homebrew campaign to run and can't be more excited to start it early next year! Listening to your opinions , stories and tips have helped me so much in planning and knowing what to look out for so thank you so much for doing da pod! Going to have you on notification so I can catch new eps hot out the oven! Also lovely to see a UK D&D channel! If you guys ever decide to do anything as creators in London, I'll absolutely be there! 🥰
Jeremy is not a reference to anything, I just thought it was funny to give him a human name. But the best boi is having a great time getting lots of love and treats from the party and opening every cabinet in sight (his favorite activity)
Im of the lgbtq, have been considering myself trans....my parents full-knowing who and what I am, voted for Trump. Sincerely, thank you for the distraction. I love you two very much.
I live in a swing state that unfortunately went red. I also learned the day after the election that a college friend passed away after a months long cancer battle. It felt like nothing was gonna go right that week. …But I got to see my best friend in the world on Saturday and Sunday. One of my other dear friends is finally moving out of her abusive home situation and in with her boyfriend (who plans to propose next year). Hell, my county went blue, and thank god my rep and both my senators are Democrats still. Even little things, like finding out two people I’ve followed on Tumblr for a long time are getting married this week. I gotta hold onto the small victories.
It's the small victories that make it all worth it. Keep finding the positives. We will all get through this together 🖤 (I am so, so sorry about your friend.)
So I fudged a dice roll that killed my character to try to teach a dm a lesson. His fights were often unbalanced and unfun, and once the chips were clearly stacked against us leading to a tpk, he started blatantly fudging dice and changing his mind on the enemies' actions to pull punches. 4 sessions into this campaign he had already killed a pc who was brought back, and was attacking us in a random encounter that turned deadly quickly. Once my character went down, he tried to pull his punches bur I called him out since it was a predator animal, it wouldn't stop attacking once its food was on Death's door. I then rolled really well but wanted to drive the point home that he needed to balance his encounters better and said it was a 2 to have my character die.
Please, please, please remember you are not alone. America is more purple than you think, even in the traditional red states. Don’t give up hope. Take the time to grieve and build yourself back up. Lean on others if you need. When you can, be there for others and together we can thrive ❤

I feel the same, living in a red state. It's just embarrassing. Especially when you see people who are genuinely proud of what they voted for.
33:10 if nobody taught the druid, not their fault
I just keep having that clip from 'Revenge of the Sith' repeating in my mind "So this is how liberty dies, to thunderous applause...' 😔
God that makes me choke up every time.
Also, keep taking as long as you want during the intro! I love our friendly little one-sided chats in each episode ❤
We do too - it's genuinely the best part of doing this is just chatting with y'all.

What has forests, cities, and rivers without their physical manifestations?
A map!

I’m kinda in the same boat as Jack I’m disappointed but not surprised
But we keep going 🖤

I normally don’t care about the outcome of presidency but this time I have genuine fear for the coming years and my family’s future
Keep on waffling!
Riddle answer: Map?
Everyday I exist is an open rebellion to those that want me dead. I'm staying around as long as it takes.
Choosing to fail feels right, especially deathsaves if their fight has left them
Forgot to watch this monday and I'm glad b/c currently my uterus is trying to kill me
A map or a globe. Classic
