Teach me how to make cottage cheese and I'm a resident game master around here

(02:49):
Dang old producer and cat herder of the grouch couch Turk
You can call me Turk a turkey dude and T Frizzle. Just don't call me daddy. Wait
What anyways you could find me as I'm the only daddy here pretty much everywhere
Or turkey terror if you're looking for my music. Yeah, or Turks adventures if you want my youtube look
I'm all over the internet, but mainly I'm here on the grouch couch. That's right. And this is good good stuff

(03:16):
What the fuck is the grouch couch, huh?
Well, we are a you know
a group of folks that love making really creative stuff and we love to push the limits of what role playing has to offer
Thus being this campaign we're kind of putting together right now
We've been referred to as the adult swim of the TTRPG space
Also the punk rockers of the TTRPG space both of those badges we wear very proudly because those are

(03:40):
Compliments so we appreciate that we love that you can find us here doing wild shit. Of course
We always love chat involvement. We love our community
But also we are for everybody everybody's welcome here unless you my friend are not welcoming of everyone if you understand what I'm saying
We're very friendly folks
And of course we're very excited to be doing this campaign because it's a metal themed campaign and it's been a long time coming

(04:05):
And just happiest, you know all shit to be here
Now you can check us out on the grouch couch comm for pretty much everything and anything you want to find out about us
Weirdly enough. There's no
WWW though. It's just the grouch couch comm why no idea but that's the way that it is
The internet is in the cloud. No one understands it
It just is what it is so if you want to check out our merch the music we made for this campaign our

(04:29):
Instagrams get a hold of us or any kind of business inquiries or sponsorships or if you want to be a guest on the show
Whatever head over to the grouch couch comm
Yes, and you could also find links to our crew members on there as well
Including proteus's website where they make their comic and they have all their lovely stuff like their twitch channel, etc. All right
Yeah

(04:49):
Hey, that was pretty good. That was pretty good
We don't do a lot of those very often, but I feel like they're important at the beginning of campaigns for sure
Because people just joining in stuff like that and I don't know if this is going on YouTube yet
I guess it depends on how tonight goes
But it is now if you're watching on YouTube leave a like and subscribe bitch
Listen all those big youtubers. They don't need your likes and subscribes. They're making millions from YouTube help a brother out

(05:14):
Give us a like we're we're the little guy
It's more important than you like and share and subscribe and comment on our shit like and subscribe below
Don't don't be a bottom
Hmm
Don't be a bottom be a couch family. That's it
It's a new day on top of the couch

(05:37):
Put me in couch put me in couch
My goodness, so we have an agenda for to not believe it or not. I was a little bit organized for this campaign
I think it shows I'm very inspired
For this campaign, but we're gonna be going over our setting our system
We're gonna be revealing our intro and what the characters look like to all of you guys
Not for the first time if you're in discord, but for the first time for some people

(06:01):
We're going to be doing a maybe a little giveaway if we get enough hype tonight of the new merch that I'm currently wearing
On my fucking chesticles. There's a lot of new merch up on the merch store
All right, so go and give it a look. There's a bunch of designs. We should do a merch store scroll at some point
That's what we should do. We'll do a merch store scroll at some fucking point

(06:21):
Also, we're gonna be doing our first little faction fight everybody. We're doing a thing this campaign called faction rivals
You can be a part of a faction that is trying to take over the city
All right, the city that our three players are playing in it's like a game of risk
But way more complicated. All right
It's really fun because it's everyone so if you haven't already joined a faction

(06:44):
you should and you can do so by checking out the self roles section and discord and
Each faction has its own private chat and in that private chat is a poll that you get to run and vote in
For your faction to make their very first action in this world
All right, we're only doing one action for each faction tonight and then moving forward

(07:04):
We're probably gonna do two each night, but for now because it's session zero
We're only doing one so get in there and fucking vote your butt off. All right, get do a poll vote. Okay a
Poll vote. Hell yeah. No, I think I covered everything anything
I should say before we get into our setting boys and girls Connor. You haven't said anything in a bit
Say something about something
Well, I literally think you need to mention the Spotify I do I do you want to tell him car

(07:33):
Well for this campaign since it is metal band themed
Everybody on the cruise but work together to put together the wonderful
Actual music that you can check out on Spotify
That is from the band that we're playing in the game and it's actually us
Singing playing instruments fucking just sounding great. So go check it out over at Spotify

(07:57):
We're all really proud of the music that we pushed out there. It's awesome. Yeah, we are
Yeah, we are. I'm a cop is my favorite song. Hell. Yeah
And I only saw Spotify. It's everywhere. You get your music. You can even add it to your Instagram stories
You can dance to it on fucking tick-tock
Anywhere you search metal Omnicon it will pop up

(08:18):
Amazon music Google music YouTube music wherever literally I was listening to it
And my phone has a saying that detects music and it literally detected
It said the grouch couch metal Omnicon like it knew so
Yeah, get out there
Listen to the damn music that is for this new setting because I have always wanted to play in and create a urban fantasy

(08:39):
All right a future fantasy. All right, I'm talking about cell phones, but I'm also talking about elves. Okay, I'm talking about elves fucking goblins
I'm talking about lake monsters in the city. Okay, I'm talking about this is what I'm talking about
And that's kind of like the main theme for our next campaign. That's all you really need to know
It's urban fantasy. So like our goblin vocalist

(08:59):
Of our metal band could use his phone to call up his band manager if he wants to also we have a zombie that drives the van
Okay, very nice guy. Sometimes. He just puts his head on the windshield and he drives with his body. It's beautiful
We love it. We're all about it. Okay now. Yes, Miriam. Yes, actually
So shadow run ish. It says Miriam. Yes, so I

(09:23):
Wanted to do this for a long time. Okay now full fucking disclosure
I was explaining the setting to these guys and we were thinking about playing urban shadows
But urban shadows hasn't released 2e yet and I was like, what the fuck? I was waiting waiting waiting
I was like, I can't wait for this. So I started looking a little bit and then I found fucking shadow run and I was like
This is

(09:45):
This is it
This is what I wanted
You know what I mean? So I took what I had written and I took some of the lore from shadow run
It's not as complicated. Okay, it's not at all
But to make it seamless I put a little bit of it together to make it make sense for our setting and our theme and everything else
And it's fucking awesome. And we're going to be building on that as we always do starting now until this new world we're building

(10:09):
Explodes which is called Grimory by the way, that's the name of the new setting. It's called Grimory. All right, like
the grim fairy tales of old
It's called Grimory
Until Grimory fucking explodes we're going to be building lore in this world and all of you guys are going to be able to have an influence on that world
All right, we're doing metal. We're doing fantasy. It's awesome. Okay, and

(10:33):
Also, I do want to pre-reface that shadow runs lore is fucking wild and complicated and insane
And I don't think I don't suggest anyone unless you're really really into it and you have the time to read five million pages a day
Then go ahead and run shadow run
But for us it will not be that complicated. It won't I promise
But it will be fun. It will be whimsical and mystical and it will have secrets and things to discover as always

(10:59):
I'm too stupid to learn a thing that requires too much math and reading. I
Love subscribe long leave the couch long live is more poodle. Cheers, man
Also, it didn't go off when I bought things
But it shows up in the little it didn't I bought things chosen a proteus

(11:23):
Visions of death and five other merch
Yeah, a proteus
Badass yeah, why that didn't go off but sick dude. What'd you get?
I got three t-shirts and a couple of stickers
Nice
Nice, nice, nice, nice
Badass also if you guys are wondering why there isn't

(11:46):
If you're wondering why there isn't an emmy t-shirt, there will be one soon. I just took a little bit longer to make that art
Totally so offended
It'll be up by next sunday, I promise y'all
Avoid playing a decker and shadow run unless you like your gm's head to implode with more micromanaging. Holy shit

(12:08):
It's also why we're playing anarchy and we're going to get to the system in a little bit for chisel
But the setting for now, um, i'm actually going to pull up a little bit of a description thing that I've written for this setting
Also, if any of you guys
Want the pdf link to this setting once it's done? It'll be in discord
All right
It'll be pinned in the love death and dice chat so you guys can get in it and read it and do whatever and i'm going

(12:30):
To be updating it literally every week as we play things are going to happen. Y'all gonna make things happen and we'll be updating it
so
grimmery
Is a setting inspired by the grim fairy tales of old just think my friends
What if in 200 years magic came back and all the bedtime stories that we know and love came back to life?
But they were a lot darker when we remember welcome to the world of grimmery

(12:55):
A world where future and fantasy collide set in the gear
22 22 because I like that number and it makes math easier
Grimmery blends advanced technology with ancient magics a unique and dark setting with hover trains flying horses
smart androids and ancient dragons
Teleportation circles and cyberpunk tech

(13:17):
Now there's only a couple of things in this world right now that we absolutely have to go over
That is one
Much like in shadowrun our world is ran by 10 corporations
These corporations managed to adjust so well to magic that they literally took over the whole fucking world

(13:40):
These 10 corporations all have a lead and they meet together once a year
To talk about how they are going to rule the world the next year
Whether that be bringing back cthulhu
stopping everyone from eating food
Putting poison in the water. They don't care. They have all the money in the world and they can do whatever they want

(14:00):
So they meet together once a year to accomplish their goals and play tricks on the general populace
The second thing is
Magic is not just something in the air
Magic is a resource
Magic can come in the form of a liquid or come in the form of an essence

(14:21):
Magic is a resource that people want magic can be bottled magic can be sold
And magic most of all can be stolen
out of people alive or dead
and
The 10 corporations recently figured this out and they want all the magic for themselves

(14:47):
Dicks
Yeah
What a bunch of luches
So those are the two main things
They can't take it away from my character though it would be a hate crime
Do you think the corpos fucking care if it's a hate crime or not?
It's a hate crime
My goodness

(15:09):
So um
There's a lot to the lore which people in chat you guys are welcome to read more about it
I can actually share a quick little link here
It's not done because I still need to put everything in there the details about the 10 corporations
But the corpos in our world
Aren't going to be named like weird things like they have in Shadowrun. They're kind of hard to keep track of

(15:31):
They're going to be called like things that we relate to like meta and google
And at and etc stuff like that
Google, Amazon, Amazon
Yes, yes
So that's what they're going to be called in our world
So that's what they're going to be called in our world
Ludegrounds, Media
Scornhub
Ludegrounds, Media
Yes, yes, yes, yes

(15:52):
Scornhub
Only Dragons
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Only Faze
Only Dragons
Only Faze
Only Faze
That's it
Only Faze
So those are the two important things
That's it
The magic thing was actually a thing I've been debating on
So those are the two important things
The magic thing was actually a thing I've been debating on
Even last week when we had our meeting
Even last week when we had our meeting
It wasn't even in the lore yet

(16:14):
Because I had been debating on it
But I think it's actually cool
And I love the idea of that
So
Players
Any questions about the lore
Anything you want to point out
I like that you said
They're like the fairy tales of old
But darker than you remember
And that just

(16:36):
I wanted to point out the original Snow White
At the end they had the Queen dance in iron shoes
Until her feet bled
And she died in the snow
It's darker than that
And the
The stepsisters from Cinderella
Cut off their toes to try and fit in the glass slippers
So I'm like it works
Yeah, yeah
So darker than that

(16:58):
But like general people
They look at Disney and think
Just like I think someone said
Rachel said Disney, right
Not that, it's like the actual
Grim stories
Where the mermaid just cut her tail in half
And walked on it in excruciating pain
Somebody else bought merch
I can't fucking see who it is though
What is happening, who did this

(17:20):
Tell me who it is
Who designed this
I'm gonna have to thank you Turk
Well you and I did Turk
You and I designed the merch
I know but someone bought merch
It was me I think
Was it you Connor? Thank you Connor
What did you get?
I got a

(17:42):
T-shirt
I think I also
Might have got, I think I also got the
The desk mat
I think that's another thing I got
Hell yeah, sick
I think I got the desk mat
Cinderella had to give up her firstborn child
To Baba Yaga to have what she got
Really?
Yep

(18:04):
There's some good shit in the original fairy tales
That's like last season
I was so overly prepared
Because I've read so many
That even the changed lore
Of all the fae stuff
I was like
Oh yeah I know this one
This is just the lady with the green ribbon
Around her neck, okay yeah I got it
We're good

(18:26):
It's pretty sick
Also the little mermaid
Turned into foam at the end
Jesus
When she lost the prince
Loses the prince in the end
And then she just dies and turns into sea foam
Wow
Wow
It's pretty wild
Okay

(18:48):
No other input
I'm sure you guys are excited to talk characters and stuff like that
But first, there's a couple of homebrew
Things that we do around here on the couch
A couple of rules and house rules
That we've always played by
Because they just make sense in our dome fucking head piece
So I'm going to go over those
Real quick like
And if you guys in chat have any questions
Or you guys as players, especially Emmy, since you're new

(19:10):
Have any questions, make sure to stop me and let me know what's up, alright?
Character sheets
This one's simple
You are responsible for adding equipment and money to your character sheet
If it isn't there
I will just assume that you don't have it
Fishee
I love you Fishee
The next one's actually fun
Crunchy crits
Is something that we do

(19:32):
But it's not going to make sense
In this here system
Because, is that even on?
I don't know if that's on, I don't think that's on
The dice game isn't on currently, I'm going to have to fix that
It's on now
We do a thing called crunchy crits around here
But we aren't doing that this system
Instead, there's a thing in Shadowrun Anarchy
It's called a glitch die, it's in Shadowrun
Me as the dungeon master, I'm going to be rolling the glitch die

(19:54):
Up here
Whenever I feel it's needed
Or pretty much all the time
There's a six here
That makes it a critical hit
So something extra and awesome happens
But if it's a one, that means there's a complication
And everyone will be able to see it right there
Yes
I have a question
What's your question?

(20:16):
So in this new system
I know you haven't even really got to combat
Or how actions work
But what if we roll all sixes to hit?
I mean that's just a bunch of successes then, bud
That is a valid question coming from Connor
Who just has unreasonably lucky rolls
That is a reasonable ask from him
It's not like me who's going to be failing every roll I have

(20:38):
It's going to be Connor getting all sixes
What if it's all sixes
And then the glitch die is also a six
Can we do double damage?
Buddy, we're going to have to talk about that
When we get there
I'm going to have to talk about that
When we get there
And I say when, not if
Because
It's Connor

(21:00):
He has unreasonable luck
No, don't
Emy, don't, no
I can't even tell you how many nat 20s
This motherfucker pulls
On like any given night
He just pulls them out of nowhere
Like a fucking rabbit out of a hat
And I don't understand because we're using digital dice
It should be random
It's just a fucking algorithm

(21:22):
Every single time he gets a nat 20
And I can't roll above a fucking two
I'm not mad
I'm not mad
I rolled three dice and got
Eight successes, Connor probably
I'm not mad
I'm just disappointed
Jesus Christ, okay

(21:44):
So that's the glitch die
Let's try it
What the fuck, it's all ones
We got one success
What I'm saying
There you go, Moby
Moby will be here, he'll got you back
And Connor got
Three successes, geez at least
Wait, what did I do?
I didn't even roll

(22:06):
Oh, I think it was Emy
Yeah, that was me
I didn't do shit
All ones, all ones
And he'll roll and he'll legitimately get all sixes across the board for no goddamn reason
Do it again, do it again
Let the rage flow through you
Yeah

(22:28):
Alright, alright, here we go
That's two
That's two
You got two successes
Yay, I'm so proud of you
Thanks
You did it, go away
This is like how I did in school
This is the reason I didn't go to college
This is how school worked for me
It didn't matter how hard I tried

(22:50):
I got twos
I got twos
I graduate, I don't know how I graduate
I graduated with 2.4 GPA
Moby, I only got two
I'm sorry, that says it five
Anyways
That's five successes
Out of eight dice rolled, go fuck yourself, Connor
Well, listen

(23:12):
That was agility and strength, so
Go fuck yourself
My eye is
Oh, I see
I'll just do one D fix
There we go
I don't see it changed, I went to a two
I got CX
Okay, moving on boys and girls, I was just fixing a thing

(23:34):
Thank you for stalling
Coordinated initiative
We're always doing coordinated initiative
It's gonna be a little bit different
Well, I guess actually it's not
Because we're playing as normal when it comes to initiative and stuff like that
Which we'll get to that later
But basically, in coordinated initiative
If two players roll the same initiative
They can do a combo
To do extra damage, to do fun stuff

(23:56):
To play things out together
I know a lot of groups do like who has the higher agility
Or dexterity or whatever
Blah blah blah blah blah
We do it together
So like on our side questers finale
We just had last week, Fishy and Nate got combo initiative
And both of them in a power armor suit
Threw a car together
And it was pretty sick
So we do combo initiative

(24:18):
Yes, fair enough
Love that
We also do system shock
So if you take more than half your hit points
On a single attack
You have to do a constitution save
Or you go into system shock
And system shock can range from losing a turn
To being stunned, to getting a permanent scar on your face
Et cetera
Which actually doesn't happen very often

(24:40):
Especially because I forget sometimes
But this also works for
Enemies as well
So don't let me forget about system shock
Quick attunement
We're playing shadow run so I don't know if this will apply
But you can attune to an item
With an action
But it does take a short rest to unattune to items
Unless you're cursed to hold it
The whole season and it threatens to eat

(25:02):
Your dad's dick
Then you're with it with the whole season
And you're cursed item, so that's different
But safety spells are also a thing we do
But that's not relevant because we aren't playing in 5e
So spell slots aren't a thing
Yes
That's it, those are our homebrew rules
Makes sense
We also have a rule that if you buy a horse

(25:24):
And then forget about your horse, your horse wandered off and died
But also we're not playing in 5e
So don't forget about your horse
I'm not going to play this game
Where you buy a horse and then two episodes go by
And you're in a dungeon and you're like
Hey where's my horse? It's right here next to me
No, no the fuck it's not
It's been two days since you thought about that horse
It's gone
Wait does that mean the magic

(25:46):
Gullbuss can die?
No, no, see it's different, exactly
So it doesn't work
But if we pick up like a
Pet hamster that is specifically
Good at like picking locks
Macaroni
Continue
But if you pick up like a magical hamster
That's really good at picking locks
And then you're like hey what

(26:08):
Is that hamster still in my anus?
Like 6 episodes later? Nah
It suffocated
Like Frankenir
Thank you for that very strange example
I appreciate that
It's perfect, now I understand
What a challenge
Is to send her to a horse race
But they also have to ride a horse
Let me put him on

(26:30):
Let me hold him
Let me hold your dog
I want that dog
I want to hold that dog
My dog ain't good at holding
Okay
Buckles
Somebody else bought things
Somebody else bought merch
Who bought things?
Shout out in chat, I'm sorry the alert isn't working right

(26:52):
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
The alert isn't working right
I don't know why
I blame Streamlabs for that
Our barbarian
In Skald had a horse named
Buckles that he loved and it got
Vaporized before his eyes so we have
A buckles nooooo
Yeah

(27:14):
Vaporization of horses
It was pretty brutal
I support vaporization
Of horses
Oh bro your horse face bro
The merch buying thing
Is fixed now
I swear
Have a dead dog
Okay
A dead dog

(27:36):
So let's talk
System now a little bit
First let me wet my weasel
Weasel
Cheers everybody
Thank you for joining us and being here
For MedwayLanker
I'm very excited
What do we think?
Steve hates horses
Well in our old campaign

(27:58):
It was canon that people would eat horses
We had a thing called
Horse sausage that people would eat
Also because
Of that horses made
An uprising and there was an intelligent
Unicorn that went to court to get
Rights for horses so by the end
People had to ask horses
If they could ride them they had to ask for
Consent

(28:20):
Cheers world
Cheers y'all
Wasn't that unicorns mayonnaise
His name was mayonnaise
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise
Yeah
I had to do an impromptu court case
With a unicorn in our world
In fucking credible
Cheers Moby

(28:42):
Good times
I love me a mouthful
Of horse meat
In that show
I always say
Sidorq I don't know why
I know it's sideric but I always say sideric
That's the way my brain reads it
He originally said sideric
And then when we started the campaign
He was like people are going to make fun of me and be like

(29:04):
Sidorq so it's sideric
Okay
What up Sidorq
Still calling him Sidorq
It's how the brain reads it
And that's how it's going to be
That's not an evolution of Sidorq
Yeah
That's funny
What do you think out of the box there Garner
I love that

(29:26):
So we're talking system now
We love the theme of Shatterrun
It really piqued my interest and it fit
Everything that I wanted
For my new world it was perfect
But
Shatterrun is
Number crunchy and insane
And I feel like before you just go jumping
Into Shatterrun it's always good to have some kind
Of step stool

(29:48):
And we learned about
I know this fucking royalty free song
And it's got a weird fucking answering machine
Beeping it
And I hate it
So Shatterrun Anarchy
Is the stepping stool
It's beautiful, it's rules light and it's mostly storytelling
I love it so much
I swear to god
I'm going to throw a brick in your window

(30:10):
The beat went off again
I couldn't hear that
Shatterrun Anarchy is perfect
I love it so much
It's got everything that you need, it's rules light
It has the rules that you need
And it's a really good step stool
It deals with successes, it's a D6 system
Everyone rolls D6s and you roll however many you have in that stat
You have 5 strength you roll 5 D6s
Get a certain amount of successes

(30:32):
Easy peasy, right
Love that so much
So it's what we're going to be playing, it's what we're going to be doing
But
I'm going to make some preface to this because
Shatterrun Anarchy
Has this narrative storytelling system
In the book it suggests to either
Embrace it and do that
Or play it like a normal D&D game
For this campaign here

(30:54):
It's going to mostly be a normal
D&D game
And we might do some scenes that are narrative driven
And pushed
But expect it to be normal with the initiative
And everything else like that
Alright, yes
And it is dice pools and less math
Alright, which we really do love
And Foundry is going to be doing a lot for us
But I do want to say

(31:16):
The narrative storytelling thing is super cool
And I loved it so much
I know that it's not for this game but
On SideQuesters we're thinking about fully
Embracing it and doing an interactive
Improv show for
Our other stream that we're going to be doing
We did a test of it during our couch
Meeting and it was fucking hilarious
And it's going to be completely
Interactive and improv and it's going to be fucking awesome

(31:38):
So keep an eye out for that
So this Shadowrun Anarchy narrative thing
Has inspired us to do
The narrative storytelling in a different way
So awesome, alright
But, Shadowrun Anarchy
It's very simple
You got to
One of these guys here, let's say
Roll me dice, you got to beat a number, right
I'll roll mine first

(32:00):
You got to beat zero successes because that's what I got
And then they roll theirs
And they've gotten one success and shit
They succeed, congrats, yay
Simple, easy peasy, moving forward
I assure you
I won't succeed
I assure you
Oh I did, it's my only good
Roll of the... three successes
I got three successes, look at that

(32:22):
That'll be my only good roll of the season
I'm sending you
Some of my magic, okay
There you go
So, that's what we're doing
We're playing Shadowrun Anarchy
But we're playing it normal
Like a normal system, we're not doing the narrative thing
Which I'm probably sure I'll preface on the first
Episode as well, for anybody who skips
Session zero so they know what's going on

(32:44):
Yeah
Any thoughts about this system
I just did a lot of talking
Someone take the talking stuff from me
We did the narrative
So we tested out the narrative a little bit
Last Sunday
And I mean
I had a lot of fun
I was... you passed it off
To me first, you're like, what do you see?

(33:06):
It's like
I'm blind
Motherfucker
But no, I think
If we do do a little bit of it
I will get more accustomed to it
Because obviously I haven't done much
DMing or explaining in my lifetime
I have done it
I just wasn't in the brain space
But I am excited to try it a bit more

(33:28):
And see where it takes us
Because the three of our characters are just
Ridiculous together
Oh yeah, and I think you fucked up
Giving me the ability to DM as a player
Kind of
With a narrative
So, I'm happy we're not doing that
Alright
Suddenly
It's not happening

(33:50):
Well yeah, for
Like sometimes
I think we're going to do some
Narrative scenes, but it's mostly
Going to be normal, but when narrative scenes do pop up
Feel free to do your thing, baby
Feel free
And our playthrough for some reason, Connor's character just had fruits
I don't know where he got them from, but he had fruits
So many
So many bananas and apples

(34:12):
I was taking one bite
Out of every apple and just dropping it
On the ground after one bite
I mean you could
Still do that in a normal session of play
That is neat narrative telling
Because my character is just an asshole
So does that mean plot points
Aren't going to be as much of a thing?
So, we're going to do

(34:34):
Couch coins, we're going to talk about this a little bit more
As I do a little bit more of
Pushing into stuff
But we're going to be doing couch coins
Instead of plot points
So they can be given out more
Because if we're not doing narrative, then it's kind of hard for you to get the plot points, right?
So we're going to use couch coins instead
Because I give those out just for good
Role playing all the time
And chat can give them as well

(34:56):
So, and it's already kind of like an
Established system, yeah
Yeah
Couch coin
There you go
DM Steve underscore forge of law just
Redeemed couch coin, Emmy calls
She pretty
Aww, you've trained
Your bottom so well
Yeah, I did that

(35:18):
On purpose, I told him to do that
Yeah, he's just under the
Death, right?
Cheers for scrimmaceous and
Breedable bottoms
He's in the dryer right now
And he'll stay
Stuck there until we're ready
For him
Hell yeah
Hey, before we get

(35:40):
Into anything else, quick shout out to all the people who helped
Contribute to this campaign that is
Happening! All your names are still

Oh no, cool art, thanks buddy
Okay, that's our setting
That's our system

(37:08):
And now we're gonna talk a little bit about our characters
But before we do so
I say we should do some video reveals
What do you guys think?
Hell yeah
Let's do it
We haven't seen it
The three of us haven't seen it either
Yeah, so we're gonna all watch this together
I was looking through a lot of different kinds of templates

(37:30):
For After Effects and none of them worked out
So I ended up just making something myself
And I think it's still really cool
So let me know what you think
And after the new intro plays
We're also going to introduce you guys to Cranium Carl
So yeah, y'all get to meet that
And you get to meet Cranium Carl
Cheers everybody, thank you for being here already

I hope you enjoyed it
With Steve, that's what I'm calling it
Moving forward, alright
Katelyn, you're gonna be the first
Moving forward, alright
Character reveals everybody

(38:36):
Metal Omnicon

(39:06):
What is up nerds, it is your favorite fucking floating skull
I'm here, I'm dead but I'm still fucking here
And I'm floating around to talk to you about shit
Everybody here dude, they call me Cranium Carl
Why?
Dude I have literally no idea but you can call me
Whatever you want, you can call me Deadhead
You can call me Daddy, you can even call me Daddy

(39:28):
If you know what I'm talking about
No dude, but I'm so fucking excited to be here
Because these guys have graced me with the honor
Dude, no, the fucking privilege
My guy, to be covering one of the greatest
Metal bands of all time
Metal Omnicon
I am so excited to be covering these guys
Because their music blows me away
Dude, the cool ass shit that these fucking hooligans get into
Oh my god

(39:50):
I'm gonna be doing the recaps of the ads
While you're gonna fucking push it
If you and my friends have any questions for me
Cranium Carl, make sure to submit them in the discord
You know you stash that Cranium Carl
Whatever the fuck you want, and remember
To go fuck yourself
And all your other purses
Also cars, potholes, poison food
Anything else like that that could kill you
Because one day you're not gonna die

(40:12):
And we all have that in common
And one day you might end up like me, Cranium Carl
And that my friends is fucking metal as fuck
So, I'll see you later
Remember to go fuck yourself
And have a good time
That was good
There it is
Yes
It promotes a good night's sleep

(40:34):
That intro was fucking incredible, Turk
It's really simple
I didn't want it to be too crazy long
I think in the past we've had some issues with them being insanely long
But it makes for a good transition
It's like 30 seconds long, gets the point across
Do you know who everyone is? What the hell is going on?
Sauce
And shout out to all the vocals

(40:56):
That metal Omnicon intro song
We all actually put vocals on it
All four of us did
Which is really sick
So yeah, shout out to that shit
Talk after effects sometime, my man
Sure, hell yeah
I don't know fucking anything about it
I used Premiere Pro and
A bunch of transitions
Holy shit, dude

(41:18):
That's fucking impressive
Yes, I know Premiere Pro
Just
Transitions
Transitions
Yes, it was Premiere Pro
I told you after effects didn't work out
Didn't I say that?
Well the templates
I thought you meant just the templates didn't work out
Oh my god

(41:40):
It was going to take like six hours
To render something that wasn't even working
Right
I was just like whatever
I don't care, I do this by myself
Anyway, so nice little black and white filter
Some transitions, you know
Screen mapping, easy peasy
It was fantastic
Masterfully done
Thank you, appreciate that

(42:02):
Let me show you some cool shit, hell yeah dude
Yeah, Big Jim knows after effects
He's made some stuff from Earth fresh before
Shout out to Big Jim, he's talented as hell
Okay
Big Jim after effects
I love you robot daddy
We all do
Big Jim, just so you know, androids are
In mortalis
That's my faction

(42:24):
You should join mortalis
In discord, I may have already put you in that
Faction, just so you know
And by the way
Everybody should go and vote
In discord for what you want your
Faction to do this episode, alright?
And if you actually want to change the
Color of your name here in twitch chat to let us know
What faction you're in, please feel free
To do so, because it helps us, but it's not required

(42:46):
Yeah, but it does help us a little bit
Okay
Love that intro, I love your guys'
Characters, I love Cranium Carl
What did you
So good
What did you say, it reminds you of Shaggy
And face bones
Yeah
Yeah, Shaggy, I was like, oh my
God, yeah man

(43:08):
I was like, that's literally
Zoinks, dude
Like Zoinks everybody, metal
Omnicon, yeah
Um
Uh, no, we're pink
Uh, power is pink
Or you could join
The night
Or
You can do hot

(43:30):
Like witch shit with over in power
Just saying
We're doing hot witch shit over in the power faction
We're doing hot witch shit
Yeah
Well I can't fight that
Power op, so make a
Power op, so make your votes
The really cool thing about that
Faction fight thing is like at the end of the
Campaign we can see who took over

(43:52):
More of the city
And then they'll kind of like own that city
Indefinitely in the canon of our
World, because every campaign is
Going to be in a different city, so currently we're in
Felspire, very fun stuff
Okay, we're going to go and look at the
Questions about these goldarned
Characters is what we're going to go into
Um, before I do so

(44:16):
Anybody want to say anything else before I
Sequeway
What faction
Are you part of Connor?
You haven't said
I am part of the
Wilds, or wait what are they called?
Wildlings?
It's just wilds, Fishing wants to
Change it to wildlings though, but it's just
Wild

(44:38):
That's right, don't join that faction because they
Don't even know what it's called
Yeah, well
What the fuck do I care, I'm wild, I don't give a shit
We break all the rules here
Yeah, that's the whole point
Anyways, I think we're yellow
So if you want to join my faction
Um, change to yellow
He's really shelling it

(45:00):
All you gotta know is you want to be
Pink, mama
You want to be pink
Yeah, we purposely
Have everyone for both shows
Everyone on screen is in a different faction
So we can lead
Because when it comes to the faction battles
Someone has to be here to roll dice
And things, yeah, but also

(45:22):
I wanted to be a part of Mortalis because
Mortalis is the best and we're gonna win, so like
That's that
Yeah, we're the monster hunters
I don't know, the androids, yes
I don't know
Me, Rey, and Spookles make a hell of a team
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Alright, so
We're gonna go in the different

(45:44):
Direction this time that we did from the intro
We're gonna start with Amy
And just before I get into the questions
Alright, I want you to tell me
A little bit about your character, maybe kind of
What your direction for them is, what's your
Race and pseudo
Class is
And what you play
In the band, maybe how you join the band
And even if you have

(46:06):
What your inspiration was
Anything like that, the floor is yours
Yeah
Well, as far as
Inspiration, I was like metal
Banned in a post, not post
Post-apocalyptic world, in an urban fantasy
Setting, vampire
The first
Thing that came to mind and I fell in love with it
I've never played a vampire before

(46:28):
Went with like a
Red and black theme for
Cause it sounds kinda fucking cool
She plays
Guitar on stage
And she kind of
Puts out this like dark
Quiet vibe on stage
And on stage she's just a really sweet
Lady, she's just really nice
And just like

(46:50):
The contrast that
Gangreys
Describe those blood-dising nerds
On screen
I'm wearing flowers
And white and
Like all girly and
You know, we've got punks
Over here next to me so she's
Kinda gonna be that contrast
For funsies

(47:12):
Yeah, she keeps a
Group of people
Around her on stage that she'll feed
Off of during performances when
She's like shredding on her guitar
Yeah
That's pretty much
Her, I guess
In a nutshell
Hell yeah
Eon King, is it Eon or Aeon?

(47:34):
Everybody's been
Saying Eon, we're gonna go with what everybody's
Been saying
Cool, Eon
I love the idea of her too, there was some other things
That we discussed and I wanna know if it's Canon
As well, that no one actually knows how
Old Eon is
Correct, and she does a lot
Of like
She keeps knitting needles on her at all times

(47:56):
And she makes very vibrant colorful
Scarves for all of her friends
She's super into chess
And like playing games
And stuff that are like
In this time kind of old
She probably plays Boggle
Jax
Ball in the cups
Yeah, ball in the cup
She got there with a wheel

(48:18):
She's got
The fucking
Hula hoop and the stick
She's like how fucking old are you?
Oh my god
It's not your problem
It'll be fine
This is that one game where you go hunt down a fox on horses
Isn't it?
Maybe we can rent that movie from the
Library on VHS

(48:40):
Hahaha
I love that
Very good, very good
And yeah, you're the guitar player, so you hit all them
High licks and stuff
And you have groupies that you feed off of
I didn't have a question
About that too
Can we make it so it's not like
The same exact groupies
That you just have around all the time

(49:02):
Sure, just revolving
Like a recruitment thing at the end of shows
Or like a sign up list on your phone
Like a group chat
Or something, and you can just like
Hey I need something to feed on, you know what I mean?
Yes, yes
Perfect
I'm so down
With that across the country
Blood zap

(49:24):
Yeah, they're all actually being like
Hey I'm gonna be at the show, you can feed on me mommy
Like
Instead of plenty of fish
It's plenty of necks
Hahaha
Yes
Cheers, ba da
Boy Scout, what the hell
Boy Scout 1997
Has followed

(49:46):
It's been a while, yeah what the fuck
What's bad, how ya doin
Different hoes in all the area codes
Yes, Labby
What are you gonna call it in my childhood
Like that, wait what
The ball in the cup or what
That's funny
Frogs, blood toxin
Scarf kill needs to happen

(50:08):
Oh yeah, scarf kill things need to happen
Hey, so another fun thing about this system
Is it's just like
dice roll. Like if you want to try and kill someone with a scarf, you know what I mean?
Just get the right amount of successes and you're there baby. Like this guy's kind of
the limit, which really does leave things open for narrative creativity, which I think
is very fun. Um, so cool. Basic questions about Eon. Um, and I think that that's wonderful.

(50:34):
The vampire. Yeah. I'm very excited about this knitting needle thing. Cause Emmy, you
just say the word. I have so many props cause I do knit like a lot and I have so many, but
I do crochet. I have so many scarves from when I used to do knitting as a job that I

(50:54):
could just put them on at any time. I have so many left over. We can make this happen.
I used to be a video editor for a crafting company. Um, and I would edit old people crafting
and I was like, I want to crochet and I tried knitting. I'm not smart enough for it. Crochet

(51:14):
is way easier. Don't get me in that editing job because it'd be like today we're knitting
memes flying across the screen. Okay, but hear me out. They didn't like it. Hear me
out. Turkey, Turkey. I'm going to start doing knitting videos and I want you to do exactly
that. Oh my God. That would actually get a lot of as an editor in other places. And it's

(51:38):
always like high energy, fast cuts. You know what I mean? Attention spans, blah, blah,
blah. Yeah. I want that. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to listen. I want that. Yeah. We do like times
five speed videos of me knitting. Like let's go. I want that. This is a million dollar
idea right now. This tapioca pudding is lit fam. Today I'm going to teach you how to make

(52:07):
cottage cheese. You know what I mean? That's literally us. Who knew tapioca was so fucking
lit? Anywho, enough about that. We're going to move on. We're going to talk about Roger
Rage Face, Rage Face, Rage Face. Connor, give us a general description there of Roger and
where your inspiration came from. And you know, you do a little bit of voice reveal

(52:30):
too if you want to, whatever you're feeling. Well, Roger Rage Face, Rage Face. Wait, I
want to do this like how they do it in the show. Roger Rage Face, Rage Face, Rage Face.
The lead singer of the band. Probably the most volatile human. Oh no, he's not a human

(52:51):
being at all. He's a he's a goblin. And he's an asshole. He's an unbelievable fucking asshole.
Because fame has just gotten to his head entirely. And he's very stupid as well. He's very, very
stupid, not only socially, but, you know, practical skills. Stupid. His character is based almost

(53:19):
entirely off of Murder Face from Metalocalypse. So if you don't know who Murder Face is.
If Murder Face was a popular singer and a goblin, then you've got it. Yeah. So when he talks,
you know, you got to listen because he's just the coolest guy you've ever met. And I got

(53:44):
to tell you, have you guys tried free balling? Because it's great. Don't like it. I purposely
kept this from Steve because I knew how happy he was going to be. Can you say can you say
the catch? Can you say your catchphrase that's on the gif? Can you say your catchphrase?
Oh, yeah, sure. People always say the thing. I'll say the thing for you. It's pee pee time.

(54:12):
He's fucking hate it. Oh my. Does he have does he have a lisp when he sings? He sometimes.
Yeah, he actually listened to the album. Yeah, listen to the album. I think in Murder Face's
voice, one of the songs, I'm a goblin. Give it a listen. But I really feel like it's one
of those things where like English people just sound American when they're singing for

(54:36):
no fucking reason. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I can actually tell you why they do that. Is it because it's
harder to understand when they sing in the accent? So they and they want it to be more
recognized. I actually found that out from some Scottish singers that are like, no, we
sing with American accents because nobody would fucking understand us otherwise. Fair,

(54:58):
fair. Puberty. That is possible. It's very possible we could get a remake of I'm a dude.
I just boys. Yeah. I got to tell you over the. Hi, my fucking. I got to tell you, me,
me and Turkey had just gotten into this rhythm lately of just being able to pump out songs

(55:20):
left and right. Five songs in three weeks. So like it was so fast. Yeah. Real fast. Some
of them were done in a day and it was like, fuck. OK. It was only three weeks because
we have day jobs. Yeah. Yeah. I was just like, all right, guitar riff, bass riff, programming

(55:42):
riffs, drums. Here you go, Connor. Underscore. Of law helped Rachel Kovacs join the couch
crew. Thank you so much, Steve. Cheers, buddy. Fuck yeah, dude. Welcome to the couch family,
Rach. Stuck in now for the next 18 years of your life. Yes. So Roger is the singer and

(56:10):
Roger also, I don't know how much we're going to cover this tonight, but has a pet dog.
Yes, it's a it's a hell hound named. Her name is Lucy. Don't tell her this. Don't tell her
that I'm telling you this, but Lucy has a girl. I've noticed that she doesn't like it

(56:37):
being pointed out or particularly touched. So. Yeah, but Lucy is a fine looking girl
hell hound. I tell you that. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Going to make a fan song for Roger and
the band. Dude, sick. Sick. Also very good. I'm very excited for Lucy. Lucy and Roger,

(57:02):
I think it's you know, it's going to be sick. Very excited about it. And you actually have
stats for the hell hound. So whenever you want to actually use Lucy, you can. We I was
going to go over like some trigger warnings and stuff like that for everybody. But one
of the things you should know in all of my campaigns, there's never any child abuse,

(57:23):
animal abuse or suicide. Those are things I don't cover. So even though there is a dog
here in the campaign, don't worry about it. All right. This ain't gonna be like the walking
dead. And you know what I mean? Everyone's worried about dog is dog has plot armor. Dog
dog is immortal. Dog. Yes. Yeah. There will be no. Yeah. Fuck horses. Like if fallout

(57:47):
will say they're not kill the kids like really puberty because they said they like horse
meat. It will be like it would happen to a player. You know what I mean? Like it wouldn't
be you know what I mean? Just like, oh, sorry. You know, she's gone. Like it would be like
there would be things. I've learned me battle and like, yeah, come here, Lucy. Say hi.
Only with consent. Hi, everybody. Lucy. You can barely see her. Oh, hi, Lucy. Yeah. Oh,

(58:16):
she's got a big one. Yeah, she's like a huge girl. Paint it. Yeah, but don't worry about
Lucy. She's you know, she's she peaks when she's standing up. The only girl dog I've
ever seen left her leg. That's weird. There you have it. So last but not least, our final

(58:42):
character. Before I get into the questions here, Proteus, do you want to tell us about
Anonka? I mean, anything to what your inspiration was, what it came from? Tell us about her
I'm sorry. Well, I mean, well, Connor came up with the name. Connor Connor is the reason
she's called Anonka because we were talking about gentlemen broncos and one of the characters

(59:08):
and Sam Rockwell is talking to one of the other characters and keep going Anonka Anonka.
What do you got there? You fucking genius. Oh, I support either way. But yeah, so I'm
playing Anonka, who is the bass player of the band. Also canonically blind. She is she
is 100% blind. Born blind at that she did not have vision at any point. But she has

(59:33):
magical powers that are related to like air and kind of like storms and lightning. Because
she is an air Genasi, which I found out are commonly mistaken for elves because they're
very similar framework. But she is in fact like an elemental of like air and lightning.

(59:54):
But yeah, that's so yeah, she's she's she's listen, come join power for magic witch shit.
We're doing hot witch shit. God damn it. I'm bad at selling this shit. Join the night.
Rise up my children of the night. Yeah, join join the wild if you want man. It's whatever.

(01:00:15):
In the wild comes back and wins the whole campaign watch because Connor's got the best
voice. That's what's gonna happen. Yeah. That's why I got to sell it so hard is that I know
I'm shit for roles. So I got to have like numbers on my side. I got to have the numbers

(01:00:38):
behind me. So it makes up for my shit roles. Wild dude. Connor's gonna be the only one
in wilds and it's gonna win the whole thing. I got to have numbers behind me. You know,
that's I'm gonna have three people and a god somehow on my side. Which can happen. You

(01:01:00):
collect enough assets. Anyways, one thing about Ananka is that you kind of like you
can mind like spirits send yourself through the astral right? Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. She
had she had a teacher that is not Jennifer Coolidge's corpse that taught her I forgot
what the new name was. That was what it was originally. But she had a teacher that taught

(01:01:23):
her how to walk through the astral plane and to essentially use that those visions as a
way to see the real life occasionally. Nice. Hell yeah. And I picture it like you just
like kneeling on the ground, but like your spirits off somewhere else. Yeah, she's just
fucking around. Yeah, cool. Fair enough. And last but not least, there's a fourth member

(01:01:45):
of the band named Bob Lynn. No, Bob Zombie. Bob Zombie. Bomblin was the bear. You're right.
That is correct. Bumble bear. Yes. Incorrect. Anyways, who wants to tell us about the drummer
of the band the van driver the zombie Bob? Well, first of all, he's the van driver because

(01:02:10):
he's literally the only one who can. One of us is a vampire and can't go out in the daylight.
One of us is blind. And is that and the other one can't reach the pedals. Yeah, he's too
short. He's a goblin. And you're blind. That's so funny. I can't reach the pedals. He needs

(01:02:31):
a phone book. He actually has to ride in a booster seat in the in the van. I try wearing
platforms for it, but that only got my foot stuck between the brake and the gas. Yeah,
no. A quick segue here. Side note. Vampires. This is our world. We can build it however
we want. How are we treating vampires in the sunlight? Is it just weakening? Is it death?

(01:02:56):
Is it you know what I mean? Just annoying. Right. First, they sparkle. And this is all
up for me. The first vampire in our brand new world. So this rule is being dawned by
me. Tell us. I feel like it could hamper her a little bit, but I don't think it's lethal.

(01:03:17):
I think that since she's she carries around her little lace umbrella and that that kind
of helps things. But if she were to be in the sun, it might be a little more difficult
to do some things. I think I think that's really severe second degree burns, second
degree burns. Let's go with second, not third. Third is skin graft. Second degree burns. You're
you're you're roasty toasty. You're going to be flaking for days. Yeah, which is actually

(01:03:41):
how I am. Rachel said do not make them sparkle. They do not sparkle. When the vampires turn
into ooh, anime cat girls, she could do that if she wants to. Maybe like super easily sunburned.
I'd say weaken them. Dracula was only weakened by sunlight. SPF 3000, said certifiable. So

(01:04:01):
she should always carry aloe. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think we were originally talking
about I had I had mentioned making it like Cassidy from Preacher where he just runs with
don't lie to me. What you talking about Brunswick? I allow. Give me a teeth. Do you mind? I want

(01:04:25):
to pitch something to you. I want to pitch the the lore for Bob Zombie. OK, see if you
like the drummer. Let's go. So back in the day, he was more human than human. But then
he received a thunder kiss in the year of 65 by a living dead girl. And eventually,

(01:04:51):
that living dead girl became the dead girl superstar. But then she broke his heart by
doing a show and leaving him for a dragula. And that's how it happened. That's his backstory.
OK, hold on. On Urban Dictionary, a thunder kiss is to give unforgettably amazing or brutal

(01:05:16):
oral sex, sometimes referring to deep throating. Thunder kissing is usually given by a prostitute
or some other promiscuous female. So using using it as a command or a suggestion would
be subtly subtly implies said female was a whore. So as Urban Dictionary, let me be

(01:05:37):
straight. She was a living dead girl. So that's how he became a zombie. I'm just saying. It's
what she did. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's that means that Bob no longer has a dick,
which is very important information here. Well, I was just reading off song titles from
Rob Zombie and I came up with this. Yes, we know. As soon as you said thunder kiss, I'm

(01:06:03):
like, all right, Urban Dictionary, let's go. Yeah. Yeah. Couch coin, Connor. Love that.
Little to be I'm all about it. Jesus. OK, we're going to skim through these 10 here
questions to learn a little bit more about your guys. It's characters. Turkey, I know
when you're writing your story later, you're rewatching this part. Hi. Hello. I love you.

(01:06:25):
I hope you're doing well. You're doing good. All right. Yes, you must shut up. I'm talking
to myself right now. You're doing good. Just to keep you humble. Everyone say hi to also
comes from your your palm. Just saying I wasn't talking to you. I'm talking to my fucking
future self. Yes. Goodness. OK, proteus explaining me again. What is your characters? What is

(01:06:52):
Ananka's relationship with magic? Are they scared of the magic they possess? Do they
wish to know more about it? Are they indifferent to it? What do they have going on? Oh, no,
she fucking loves her magic. She loves the magic. I mean, it's essentially like an accessibility
tool. Let's be honest, like with with a disability like blindness, like she uses magic as an

(01:07:16):
accessibility tool. So, I mean, she loves magic. She's all about it. She if she could
have more, she would and likely will try. You know, it's like that's it's her bread.
That's her bread and butter. She she magic. She yes, she she snort and lions of fairy
dust and shit like she she's probably not that magic if she could.

(01:07:41):
It's the next album name, isn't it? OK, you're also an awakened character. You also deal
with magic. So tell me the same question for you. Yeah. So Eon used to work with mortalis
and she's she's a little bit bitter toward them because she was like a monster hunter

(01:08:05):
and then became a vampire. And she's like, yeah, I don't like that they hurt my people.
So she's got a relationship with magic in the healing sense. She likes to be a healer
and be there to support her comrades. So, yeah, she she loves her healing shit. OK.

(01:08:26):
And Roger is a side stand here on magic. Any thoughts about magic? You indifferent to it?
Do you care? What do you think Roger thinks? Oh, man, that is really cool and all. But
you know, it's cooler like in fucking strong shit, man. I just like to crush it and shoot

(01:08:46):
your shit because, you know. It's real fun to do that. Roger's got a little man complex.
He's like, oh, well, I refer to it as free bowling. Nice. He free ball in reality. All

(01:09:09):
right. We've got a couple more questions here just to get some more information about his
character I have for each one of you guys. And first, we're starting with Prodius. We're
starting with Kate here. What is most important to Anonka? Is it health, wealth or happiness?
Probably happiness. I mean, she's torn around with someone like Roger. You know, she's going

(01:09:33):
to find happiness for she can because otherwise she's just going to dive headfirst in front
of the bus. I would probably go with happiness because I mean, I feel like health for her
is not going to be like having been, you know, having a disability her entire life. She probably

(01:09:54):
doesn't think I like I think with how she is because one of the things that I have in
her backstory, she was raised by a hippie commune. Yeah, she was raised by a hippie
commune. So a wealth means nothing. Health is just, you know, if you die, you die. You
know, it doesn't matter. So probably just the pursuit of happiness or darkness. Okay.

(01:10:20):
You know, yeah. Okay. Pursuit of happiness. Good. So like regaining her vision. She doesn't
give a shit. Nah, she's never had it. Okay, fair. All right, Roger. Same question. Wealth,
or happiness? Well, I mean, I'm the picture of perfect health. And as far as happiness

(01:10:45):
goes, I mean, about my life, way more than any of these other dildos. Well, it's the
thing you can buy shit with, right? Yes. I would like some extra money. I mean, I think

(01:11:06):
that's a might be good, you know, for free balls. And get me a new speedo. No, no, no,
no, no. Every time Roger talks, I feel I'm going to just be face palming this entire

(01:11:29):
campaign. Cheers. Oh, goodness. We're healthy by all the bitties. That's right, Gala. Excuse
me, referring sexy wishes over vampires. Hey, you know what? Everyone has their opinion
and that's why there's whore factors. All right, that's right. You traitor says Emmy.
Okay, I understand what's going on here now. I understand it. Yes, yes, yes. And then if

(01:11:54):
you guys want to find the faction chats, they're down underneath couch chaos, all right? After
you join your faction, you'll be able to see it. Okay, question. Lastly, for Eon, health,
wealth, or happiness? I think wealth is important to her for her
end goal as far as kind of taking down people in the corpos. Like, that's something that

(01:12:25):
she'd be interested in and might be a long con of hers. But ultimately, happiness. Yeah,
she just wants to find peace and equality for the people that she's learned more about
by becoming a vampire. Nice. Okay. Hell yeah. Very good. Very good. Next question. What

(01:12:47):
is your relationship with the other two characters? How do you feel about them? Are you happy
on stage with them? Do you enjoy riding in the bus with them and sharing a space with
them? What is your relationship with the other two? Starting with Anonka.
No. Yes. Can you give me any more detail?

(01:13:11):
I mean, just from that little bit that I know they haven't, they didn't see it, but just
from the little bit that we played where Anonka is literally trying to go into the astral
plane to check the place out and Roger's literally like biting into apples and chucking him at
her just to like distract her from like actually doing anything. I think that speaks for itself

(01:13:32):
that when Anonka is doing magic, it's something that requires concentration and Roger takes
great pride in breaking concentration to everything.
Is it like a motherly son relationship with Roger? Like you're trying to teach him better?
Or like, what do you see this kind of like, where do you see this aspect going? Like what's
going on? I think he has a shame kink and he likes to

(01:13:57):
be shamed. So my approach is just going to be to kink shame him the whole season. We'll
see how it plays out. This is just Connor talking. You want him
to be aroused? He's got a shame kink so we're shaming him.

(01:14:18):
No, but he listens better when he's shamed. He responds to ridicule.
He's good? Yeah, I would say Aeon and her get on quite
well especially because you know, like she needs at least someone sometimes to like put
a hand on the shoulder and like to lead her around. But I would like, I would say they

(01:14:41):
have like a pretty close gay undertones. But like, you said Jane Austen and that's all
I'm thinking about. I would say with how like Aeon travels through
Astral Plains and stuff like that, it gives her like an insight in, not Aeon, how Ananka

(01:15:04):
passes, brain not doing the greatest right now.
It's all good. I took too many blows to the head yesterday.
I'm good at hitting people. But I say with Ananka and how she travels through Astral
Plains, she sees sometimes where stories of like the old time stories originated from

(01:15:26):
like how muses kind of like whisper into like the material world. So like she sees where
some inspirations for stories have come. So she likes talking about stories with Aeon
and like that kind of like, like knowing like, because you know, she can read Braille, but
you know, having someone to discuss literature with and even possibly read to her would be

(01:15:50):
like something that they could really just be like, you know, cozy girl vibes. I don't
know. That's, yeah. And Bob, Bob is delightful. We all love Bob.
We all love Bob. Yeah, we all love Bob.
Yeah. Okay. Roger, what about you? What's your relationship with the other two players?

(01:16:11):
What characters? Well, I got to say, they're all in love with
me. I don't get it. These guys fucking love me. I think it's because I'm a leader and
I show very strong leadership properties. And you know, I guess they're okay. They're

(01:16:34):
cool. But they definitely are obsessed with me.
Okay. Aeon, your last? Yeah, I think that Aeon probably with Roger
is more like, oh, I just, I can fix him. Like, oh, you poor, bless your heart kind of thing.

(01:17:01):
I can fix them. And with Anonka, she's like, oh, girl time. Yay. I'll read to you whenever
you want, darling. Of course. Very good. Very good.
Just remind me, what's that fucking like vampire show on Netflix? Is it on Netflix where they're

(01:17:23):
just like casual, but they're like vampires? You know what I'm talking about? What the
fuck is it called? What We Do in the Shadows?
While you were describing that, that's what it reminded me of. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, good. Yes.
I love that show. I've seen like two episodes. Sprinkles was like, you need to watch this.
And I was like, I don't really. It's so funny. Yeah. I remember like when the first, like

(01:17:46):
the movie first came out, like, but when it was just in New Zealand and that's what sparked
the TV show and it's. The movie's amazing. Jim said you do, which means I have to watch
it now. Jim gets the green ones. Yes. I agree with Jim. True blood? Good guess. Hard. Good

(01:18:07):
guess. Suck it. Suck it. Suck it. My good. Zero. Any final thoughts, you guys? Is there
anything you think we missed tonight? For us starting next Sunday. Full costume. We're
here. We're ready to go. Yeah. Just so you guys know. Costumes this year are pretty fucking

(01:18:30):
dope. Like the first year I'm doing like actually quite a large amount of makeup. I have false
teeth. Everybody else has their crazy fucking makeup that they're doing. So it's like a
lot of fucking prep. It's not it's not just like put a mask on and like go. It's like

(01:18:51):

and especially for their first ever fundraiser campaign for a a new campaign and that you
guys made it so successful that we could put so much more effort and spend more time and
money to put on a good show for you guys. Like without like this has been you guys have

(01:20:04):
worked as a part of inspiration of so many. You guys believe in us so much that we're
like, you know what? Yeah, let's make an album. Let's make a ton of band merch. Let's spend
some money make getting like a VTuber rig put up like you guys made that happen and
we can't thank you enough. We are so incredibly humbled by your support and your love.

(01:20:26):
Hell yeah. Well said. Like when you pop in, you say shit like that because I can't enunciate
and like make the words do the things that I want them to do sometimes. So I appreciate
that. I really do. Remember to go fuck yourself and we love you. Have a good time. Sprinkles
did spend time sending things out at the post office. So thank you to Sprinkles. Thank you

(01:20:47):
for bringing my wife a very hot costume. Link dog said, wait, did I do that? Yes. Blink dog
contributed to three items on that fucking wish list. Thank you. Blink dog also Jer Abbey
and Art Heart. Yeah, dude. Money well fucking spent. That's good. Randoms right there. But

(01:21:07):
also to make an NPC to maybe TPK you all could be, could be my friends. Gosh, yes. So this
is going to be a blast. I am so very, very excited to be doing not only something close
to my own heart, making music and doing like a metal band and being able to do like this
underground metal thing, but also doing like a future fantasy thing. Something I've always

(01:21:30):
wanted to do. So this is all very, very exciting for me as a dungeon master and being that
being able to do it with you three have all worked so hard on your characters and it's
just going to be a fucking blast, man.
We're going to rate out. Thank you guys for joining us. Session zero is a little bit of
a shorter stream, but appreciate y'all for joining us. Being awesome. And we'll be back

(01:21:52):
