Shoutout to Emily for predicting the Flinstones reboot. Unfortunately not the exact cast but the timing was perfection

2025-03-22 05:01:21 +0000 UTCI’m giving this a re-listen, and can I just say: Caldwell really makes me laugh so often. I have a big thing for cinematic haircuts, and the imagery of 14-year-old Caldwell having to take a lap after seeing the one in FF9 was so funny to me! I also love that Emily pointed out how it’s a trope for a reason, and the flack sometimes received when it’s a woman’s cinematic haircut. Love this crew.

2025-03-10 13:09:49 +0000 UTC“I think the time is right for a Flintstones reboot.” Oh they are not aware of the gritty reboot comic books from a couple years ago

2024-10-09 16:21:53 +0000 UTCThat is pretty cool. Fun how different people can read things into lyrics the author didn't originally intend but still very well fit.

2024-08-25 18:34:02 +0000 UTCAs a lvl 6-barbarian/3-fighter, with the alert feat, I have a +13 to initiative and life couldn't be better. Rolling into the 30s is fantastic and every fight starts on my terms. For how much of a strategist Emily is, I'm surprised she doesn't care more about initiative
Max Herzog
2024-08-21 14:40:21 +0000 UTCNot sure if I’m hearing this right, but it sounds like Murphy and Sol are unaware that Sol can add his acrobatics bonus to checks to resist being grappled, instead of athletics. If the Bigbys hand tries to grapple him it should at least be a fair fight. Now if they were talking about the Bigby’s shove, then that is a strength check.

2024-08-12 11:19:39 +0000 UTCI haven’t read it but apparently the Flintstones comic from 2017 is amazing. Like unnecessarily so good

2024-08-08 17:43:25 +0000 UTCI can’t wait for the next D&D court. I’ve been truly wronged

2024-08-07 23:54:29 +0000 UTCAs someone that also records audio for our sessions, it’s comforting to know that they also rank their clap syncs everytime

2024-08-06 15:38:11 +0000 UTCJohn Goodman is absolutely Fred…
Taylor Jackson
2024-08-06 04:41:50 +0000 UTCTiny little L, but it drove me crazy!
Kameron Bradley
2024-08-05 20:31:49 +0000 UTCEmily’s spot on with Karen Gillian as Wilma. I legit would be on board for a millennial Flintstones reboot with Ryan as Rubble. Hollywood, do the thing!
Doctor Ransom
2024-08-05 19:09:18 +0000 UTCJon Hamm would be a perfect Fred to Ryan Gosling’s Barney
Nicholas Ventura
2024-08-05 15:45:22 +0000 UTCdefinitely a small L for the gang. Going to need a full apology on the next short rest
jayden f
2024-08-05 03:07:06 +0000 UTCI would like to vote for the next Mix Bag to be about you all writing the script for your Flinstones movie!
Joseph Christodoulou
2024-08-05 02:24:45 +0000 UTCSo basically the benefit is that you get to bypass even enemies who have been super statted out for high initiative. Nothing lamer than getting a nat 20 initiative and going third or something because the enemies have been optimized to go high in initiative and the DM rolled well.
Totally Offside
2024-08-04 11:47:26 +0000 UTCYeah nat 1s not really being much worse than a low, but not critically low, roll is also something that makes initiative rolls less exciting overall. I would honestly just say a crit success should be an automatic first initiative unless someone else also got a 20 crit failure is an automatic last initiative unless someone also rolled a 1.
Totally Offside
2024-08-04 11:45:11 +0000 UTCVince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as Fred and Barney. Could bring some fellow wedding crashers actors with them. 🤷🏾♂️
Canid
2024-08-04 07:15:03 +0000 UTCHave you tried homebrew something for it? Like you get a free action limited to dodge, hide, search, help (give someone advantage on initiative), or move half your speed with no attacks of opportunity. However Nat 1s would also need flavor like caught off guard (unguard) so either lose your reaction, -2 to AC, or disadvantage on any saving throws, skill checks, or ability checks until your first turn. Similar to pathfinder's flat-footed and shaken conditions.

2024-08-04 07:03:14 +0000 UTCDavid harbour as Fred.
Scott
2024-08-04 02:46:46 +0000 UTCi think bryce dallas howard for wilma honestly
sarah may
2024-08-04 02:12:38 +0000 UTCEveryone i know gets so annoyed when i say “yolk” and pronounce it with the L, but it makes me feel so validated when caldwell says yolked and hits that hard L sound. Because Caldwell could never be wrong🫡

Barback of Penance
2024-08-03 15:17:28 +0000 UTCI’m glad Caldwell used the shell phone charge. I don’t think think the video game mentality of hoarding items is enjoyable to listen to
Nick_Nack_Patty_Whack
2024-08-03 11:52:19 +0000 UTCi honestly really love all of Murphs villains he creates, a lot of unconventional classes. a plus is that all of his female villains are powerful, unflinching, and stoic, while most of the male villains are just pathetic losers.
Jorgus
2024-08-03 11:46:45 +0000 UTCCompletely different vibe, but Gandolfini would’ve been a great Fred
JB
2024-08-03 11:39:40 +0000 UTCDougal... as in... shared with the beloved gnome NPC from Trinnyvale?! Outstanding! Auspicious! Hope all are well 🌧✨️😁
Bellamy Posey
2024-08-03 08:02:36 +0000 UTCI’m so glad cauldwell brought up ff9. That’s all I thought about with the cinematic hair cut
Adam Scull
2024-08-03 02:18:23 +0000 UTClaughing at the panic that must have gone through Murph's brain at the end there, thinking "Oh no, how long have we been talking about the Flintstones?"

2024-08-03 02:15:08 +0000 UTCYas the FF9 reference!! Childhood nostalgia moment

2024-08-03 01:19:50 +0000 UTCHoly shit. I’ve got it (I promise it’s worth the read): A gritty Flintstones remake with Tom Hardy as Fred and Ryan Gosling as Barney. Think classic hardman hardy and ‘Drive’ Gosling. - Set in an absurdist caveman parallel of 1950s USA peak industrial unionisation movement. - Fred and Barney are initially elected leaders of their newly unionised state slate mining industry, with a hopeful and bright energy to the scenes, but with vaguely ominous undertones. - Problems arise. Slowly the tone shifts. The hopes and ideals the union is built upon slowly degrade under the ever mounting pressure of industry powerhouses. - Inevitability, the fight becomes dirty and criminal. Eventually Fred and Barney are warped away from their family and community values towards a grim and dark life of unseen threats and back alley violence. Can they hold their union, their families, or even themselves together? Or will they become that which they despised and lose everything they loved on the way? DUNDUNDUUNNN - FLINT/STONE - 🤯🤯🤯

Ben Delahay
2024-08-02 22:50:21 +0000 UTCAnybody else cringe slightly when they kept referencing Nazgûl when talking about what the enemy mounts were like? Like I know it’s small and nitpicky, but the Nazgûl are ring wraiths, not the fell beast that they eventually fly around on…
Jake Klein
2024-08-02 22:35:26 +0000 UTCreally excited about this jaded millennial fred pitch

2024-08-02 20:32:00 +0000 UTCMiyazaki loves a Cinematic Haircut, but the wildest one I’ve ever seen was in Laputa Castle in the Sky, where the main girl gets her pigtail braids shot off via pistol from across the room
Amanda Ruge
2024-08-02 20:25:44 +0000 UTCTom Hardy and Ryan Gosling as frontmen in a Flintstones reboot would put butts in seats

2024-08-02 20:07:53 +0000 UTCOh yeah nice!
Jake Alcott
2024-08-02 19:47:34 +0000 UTCRe: getting a nat 20 initiative, it's not that it's not good to hit a nat 20, it's that a nat 20 isn't much better than getting a 19 on initiative. Getting a nat 20 in almost any other circumstances is a lot better than rolling any other number. Twice as good when you're talking about doing double damage. Nat 20 initiative rolls don't even guarantee you go first. This is what makes nat 20 initiative rolls feel less satisfying.
