Confusion is the brother of death, but my water is good and fast and clean. There is something wrong with your friend, and yet you fight alongside them. Someone will fly and someone will die on the mountain today, when the sun is a red smudge beyond the pines. Who will it be?

Damn, relistening reminded me that Aabria’s dice have a story that they want TOLD! And they will make their presence known with just the most brutal nat 1s

2025-09-29 21:54:09 +0000 UTCDammit! Here I am crossing my fingers for a Wizard Salamander to exist, and they turn out to be an NPC for the other NPCs who doesn't even get a line haha. The name fits though, I guess. Everyone loves the charismatic megafauna, and forgets about the salamanders :(

2025-08-24 00:59:43 +0000 UTCWow. Reminds me of Uncle Sly from Arc 2. If he does his job right, the catastrophes don't happen, and then everyone wonders what he's good for. Being a Counterspell Tamori has to suck, because you will have to decide to cast yourself in a split second, and if you're successful, no one will know what the threat was. I guess at least they will know there was a real threat, because you're gone.

2024-12-23 23:07:48 +0000 UTCI can’t find the transcript- is it not available yet or something else? Having a hard time understanding the river spirit
Dani
2024-12-19 00:25:55 +0000 UTCevery episode after the burning question is so much more tense
anouk
2024-12-12 16:42:46 +0000 UTCI am convinced that something terrible has to happen to Silver or Steel before this arc ends to round out Book 1 of the tragedy that Suvi lives in. I made myself let go of worrying that that's not Silver™ and just an elaborate ruse but there's no way everyone makes it to the end of this Arc. I just want them to be happy forever 😭
Amaya Booker
2024-12-10 00:39:39 +0000 UTCWORTHWHILE 😭😭😭😭😭
Emma Runswick
2024-12-09 22:37:27 +0000 UTCI don't think so. That was the drama--making Aabria do it. I am glad that nat one did not doom the whole plan, but Brennan wouldn't want that, and Ame did great.

2024-12-06 13:29:04 +0000 UTCI do not understand how you can listen to this podcast at a desk job. I know I have lousy executive function, but I could not even file while listening to this. I would be staring into space holding the same paper, come to with a jerk and file it in the wrong place, and repeat.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
2024-12-06 13:21:52 +0000 UTCIn the talkback, Taylor said that was his goal explicitly. And I was right there with you. Haha

Aviva
2024-12-05 17:58:42 +0000 UTCMAN! Is it possible to be turned on by sound design? Because I am... This episode is amazing!!!
Xtina
2024-12-04 18:52:46 +0000 UTCI get it. I cheered aloud at the end.
GrumpyTrees
2024-12-03 23:02:16 +0000 UTCAAAAAHHHHH that was a very good episode and I am normal about this
GrumpyTrees
2024-12-03 23:01:19 +0000 UTCExtreme "The A-Team" energy from the party and score this episode. Suvi needs to upgrade from cigarettes to the cigar because her plan REALLY CAME TOGETHER.
Lynn Ford
2024-12-03 14:09:26 +0000 UTCExactly my feeling and also now that the episode is over and on an incredibly high note, im TERRIFIED of what the next episode brings 🫠
Tessie Lou
2024-12-03 02:06:34 +0000 UTCNo idea how to describe my reaction to the luck check other than a small gasp interrupted by a large one (small at the result, large at the thought of what could happen after). Had I not been driving I’m sure I would’ve flipped my shit even more.
Hayley Haner
2024-12-03 02:04:03 +0000 UTCHoly shitballs, the sound editing for this episode! Also, just want to say, this was a CRAZY episode to listen to while driving.

Jessica
2024-12-02 21:27:25 +0000 UTCYou have no clue how much will power it took to not scream in joy while I was on the bus during the last 10 minutes of this episode. I was genuinely tweaking in my seat the whole time, and I’d like to formally apologize to anyone who had to witness that.

2024-12-02 05:19:34 +0000 UTCThis episode was so good. My heart is broken and I also feel like I could kill God.
Witpending
2024-12-01 20:48:54 +0000 UTCNot proud of it but I cried a little
Witpending
2024-12-01 20:43:07 +0000 UTCDamn if that isn't exactly what a nat 1 at a crucial moment feels like
Witpending
2024-12-01 20:36:45 +0000 UTCThere is very little I can say without spoilers but please know that I am TERRIFIED given what Aabria said in the Burning Questions. Just genuinely sat there biting my nails for like 20 minutes afterwards.
Gotholi
2024-12-01 14:16:02 +0000 UTCAw thank you 💖😊🐰
Snowbun
2024-12-01 11:52:10 +0000 UTCEpic scoring on this episode and that sound of the dam breaking was perfectly evocative! Ame making deals with her words and saving lives with her magic. Suvi wizarding up a plan and using her secrets. Eursulon banging on his shield to call the troops to him in the fog, and pushing a bear off a cliff. And of course Brennan killing it with his descriptions and making Silver look like a badass. I was feeling some real Lord of the Rings movies vibes here.

2024-11-30 20:37:07 +0000 UTCDamn Taylor. The way my heart sank on that Nat one, and then you kicked me in the guts with that sound. I hate that I love it 😘

Marley Bernard
2024-11-29 22:24:01 +0000 UTCTaylor is truly earning his take on this one. bravo!
Peter Worrest
2024-11-29 18:08:53 +0000 UTCCan’t explain the way I started crying when Silver flew to help Eursalon, it was like turning on a faucet
Devon
2024-11-29 17:10:39 +0000 UTC"make ingots of our boy Silver" absolutely sent me
Benny Bee
2024-11-29 15:52:28 +0000 UTCWe gotta soak up Every Detail
Benny Bee
2024-11-29 15:51:36 +0000 UTCAudibly GASPED and the music in the background as they rolled initiative made it feel like taking off into real danger. I was just walking my dog alone but I realized a little while after that bit I was almost jogging with how hyped up it got me!
Benny Bee
2024-11-29 15:51:00 +0000 UTCAlso hats off, as always, to Taylor and whomever may have helped on this episode. The tippytappy Suvi piano music as she sets the dam trap is one of my new absolute favorites- not to mention the choral voices when the dam comes down. Citadel brass has always had my heart and boy was it SOARING in the sweeping numbers here. 10/10 as always. The bar just keeps going up!
Benny Bee
2024-11-29 15:50:01 +0000 UTCTruly a masterclass on how to weave storytelling and combat. This episode is the perfect encapsulated "Saving Private Ryan" vibe wherein everyone got to show their stuff- I mean, COME ON, Eursulon atop the ridge on a white horse as the injured soldiers flee to him? Suvi having the inflict wounds on the dam, the feather fall? Ame with calm emotions to focus the soldiers? THE TOMORI? I'm losing it yall.
Benny Bee
2024-11-29 15:48:16 +0000 UTCWhen Silver broke the fog line, I was on a 5am misty walk with my dog and accidentally cheered aloud because the brass had me hype beyond belief
Benny Bee
2024-11-29 15:45:37 +0000 UTCI SHRIEKED AT THIS my heart BROKE oh no oh god
Benny Bee
2024-11-29 15:44:34 +0000 UTCThis was the best narrated D&D combat I've heard in years! The rooms that are going to have to be broken in now. o.- A.G.
Aussie Griffin
2024-11-29 15:34:56 +0000 UTCSeconding this. The sound design and orchestral arrangement starting on Aabria's nat 1 luck check? Absolutely took my breath away.
Heydon Hensley
2024-11-29 13:20:00 +0000 UTCAbsolutely riveting. The sound design was incredible. Amazing. Thank you.
Patrick
2024-11-29 03:54:39 +0000 UTCThe River Spirit is half goat -half trout. Brennan’s birthday is January 4th, making him a Capricorn, which is often depicted as… half goat half trout! The GOAT’s a goat from Goat House!
Daniel O'Gorman
2024-11-29 02:01:37 +0000 UTCWow. This was great. Love you guys.
Philip Thoman
2024-11-28 23:47:10 +0000 UTCwhen I tell you I GASPED when I heard the fireball
catrinevansvlogs -
2024-11-28 22:20:43 +0000 UTC"We must fight... to run away." "Eursulon calls for aid." "And Rohoan will answer!" "Into the woods it's time to go It may be all in vain I know Into the woods but even so we have to take the journey"
Danielle Hood
2024-11-28 20:42:19 +0000 UTCThis might be my favorite episode so far. From the incredible plan to the rolls that followed it as well as the GORGEOUS sound design and music. I listen to this on my way home from work and usually pause it for the second half, but once I got home I just sat there to listen to the rest. Incredible storytelling!
Nick van Zeijl
2024-11-28 09:35:00 +0000 UTC[Potential Spoiler] I might be wrong, but I interpreted it as counterspelling a plant growth spell cast by one of the sorcerers (there were vines encroaching on the riverbed that stopped in air when Zero cast themselves and then fell to the ground, Brennan stating the vines were now manipulated only by the laws of nature, implying that they were manipulated by something else before)
Luke
2024-11-28 09:14:40 +0000 UTCCan someone explain to me what Zero the counter spell tamori did? I've listened to it a bunch and still don't understand
Porter Clement
2024-11-28 07:54:28 +0000 UTCWell worth the extra time in the oven 🤟💞

2024-11-28 05:19:56 +0000 UTCI started Worlds Beyond Number a year behind and just caught up tonight on this episode, 🔥🔥AN ALL TIME BANGER🔥🔥 Y'ALL ARE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. UNPARALLELED FANTASY. DANG.
Snowbun
2024-11-27 23:38:46 +0000 UTCalso if that drawback was there why wasn't it discussed as a potential plan. It would be anyone's go to.
Jonathon carr
2024-11-27 23:37:33 +0000 UTCu don't leave it behind though? U uninstall it before u finally close the door right? in a slowly besiged fort this is the perfect time to install and get out, it's drawback is it's slowness in installing, which doesn't apply here
Jonathon carr
2024-11-27 23:35:36 +0000 UTCMan that Fireball was something else
Austin
2024-11-27 23:29:34 +0000 UTCI think part of the doorknob is having to install part of it in a town filled with enemies that could find it and their way directly to Ame's cottage.
Austin
2024-11-27 23:29:06 +0000 UTCSo well worth the wait! And as usual, the sound design just completely blew me away. Glad to see that Ame, Suvi, and Eursulon are in the same Studio Ghibli movie for once! ❤️
kaguya_yoru
2024-11-27 23:26:26 +0000 UTCMy God I fully screamed and applauded at the end and realised I had just accidentally hit 100mph on (an empty) motorway. Also look I'm not a conspiracy theorist but someone with a magic doorknob was very quiet in the planning part.
Jonathon carr
2024-11-27 22:16:46 +0000 UTCwow what a great episode where nothing went wrong! i wonder what’s in store for next week!

Julia Whitmore
2024-11-27 20:16:20 +0000 UTCThis ep was well worth the wait it was so good, this episode is a master class for a dm on how to make your players feel badass, also the scene of logs falling from the sky just oml *chef's kiss*
Annabel Mont
2024-11-27 20:06:51 +0000 UTCEverything has a spirit. When created from the interplay of the spirit and the real, who knows what it could mean. My brain goes into the scary weaponry the wizards will come up with once they figure it out. Then also all the creations being destroyed that show some sentience.

Elizabeth Wright
2024-11-27 17:38:05 +0000 UTCI usually just listen once, but I feel like I need to go back and listen to that entire thing again on really nice headphones…Taylor (and all of you!) knocked it out of the fucking PARK this week!!
Lisa Gillespie
2024-11-27 17:24:42 +0000 UTCThe fireball! THE FIREBALL! Every single moment of this episode was a sensation to hear. Simply phenomenal.
fishbananas .
2024-11-27 16:51:26 +0000 UTCI hope its that an not one of the PCs dying. I'm sorry Silver, I love you but if its you or any of the PCs I am tossing you in front of the bus. I would be the first in line!
Tacotrashcan
2024-11-27 16:40:50 +0000 UTCGood.... God. This was the equivalent of listening to a LOTR battle in podcast form. Absolutely blown away, just amazing work. I felt so honored to even be allowed to listen to this masterpiece
Cassie Mcewen
2024-11-27 16:32:17 +0000 UTCWizard take off flying sound is so epic and I cant wait for Suvis first epic big fly.
Rachel
2024-11-27 16:04:49 +0000 UTCWorth the wait!!! The combination of each verbal storyteller, the sound effects, the score, and the fucking dice; was so incredible that I had full body goosebumps (like the best asmr does) many times. I have aphantasia, so I can't see pictures in my mind, but magic of this episode had me looking in the directions of the action. Thank you WBN team for this masterful work of art. I forgot to listen with headphones, so I'll be doing that now.
Elizabeth Wright
2024-11-27 15:57:34 +0000 UTCYo - “Bring them down” gave me the legit ASMR fuzzies.
Sam Shepherd
2024-11-27 15:48:39 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite episodes so far!
Dom Unwin
2024-11-27 15:33:05 +0000 UTCThis show is an absolute masterclass in sound design! And it feels so good to hear dnd scored with the epicness I envision when I play. 💖 There's so much love and care in every detail.
Evelina Meiklejohn
2024-11-27 15:24:20 +0000 UTCIncredible episode. A great day for Suvi, perhaps her best day ever...
Conor Steinke
2024-11-27 15:18:46 +0000 UTCI listened to this episode while getting ready for and commuting to work this morning and now I just have to sit at my desk and pretend I’m not thinking about Silver flying through the sky at Eursulon with a clutch lightning bolt save. I mean COME ON YOU GUYS.

Vice Versailles
2024-11-27 14:18:43 +0000 UTCThis episode was incredible. I listened on my drive home and hit a patch of fog just as Suvi released the fog spell. What an amazing experience.
Brittany Herzog
2024-11-27 14:16:32 +0000 UTCAnd the Oscar goes to Taylor Moore for best sound design
Colleen Brenner

Gabriel Cole-Brant
2024-11-27 12:48:00 +0000 UTCjust when i think this podcast can’t get better a new episode comes out to prove me wrong. the SOUND DESIGN?? the MUSIC???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? everyone in the production team has my whole entire heart you guys knock it out of the park every time
Trish K
2024-11-27 12:32:06 +0000 UTCOf COURSE it's Silver, if it wasn't really Silver it wouldn't hurt nearly as bad when Brennan 100% absolutely murders him in the most violent devastating way possible. 💁🏻♀️
TheloniousPunkyBrewster
2024-11-27 11:35:06 +0000 UTCI 100% saw the patterns on the back of Roy Mustangs gloves in my minds eye at that moment 🔥
TheloniousPunkyBrewster
2024-11-27 11:32:23 +0000 UTCI wonder, in WHAT type of devastating way Brennan is going to murder Silver next ep? 🥲
TheloniousPunkyBrewster
2024-11-27 11:27:32 +0000 UTCThis HAD to be the 'highest high' Aabria referenced for Suvi right? That means that lowest low is on its way 🥲 and I THINK the baddies are gonnna make ingots of our boy Silver .
TheloniousPunkyBrewster
2024-11-27 11:26:12 +0000 UTCWell - especially in light of what Aabria said about the highest high and lowest low for suvi being within 24 hours 😵 Cause if that wasn't the highest high I dunno what would be!
TheloniousPunkyBrewster
2024-11-27 11:20:30 +0000 UTCI think I speak for everyone when I say I need you to drop the song from Aabria's turn when Suvi releases the river, holy forking shirtballs I need it in my life

2024-11-27 09:22:25 +0000 UTCThey just CAN’T keep getting away with this! How does the quality of every episode get better than the one before??? My head was in my heart and my heart was in my throat (and I’m so worried about Aabria saying she had the highest of highs and then the lowest of lows 😭). Thank you as always for your incredible art! (Oh my god the music!!!)
annemjw
2024-11-27 09:21:37 +0000 UTCDid they miscredit Ursulon? I heard Lou Wilson but it sure sounded like John Economy.
Richard Coulson
2024-11-27 08:06:30 +0000 UTCThis!!! Episode!!!! Had me going yes!!! That's what a paladin is!!! Also proved once again that wizards are the best damn class there is. Ame's spell casting was choice. THE SOUND DESIGN. I love everybody in this podcast!!!
daemoninwhite
2024-11-27 07:49:32 +0000 UTCSound design on every moment, emotional shift, dice rolls, terror to badassery. Just absolutely bonkers! Well worth the wait. Much love to this incredible crew.
Rachel Yadlowski
2024-11-27 07:07:10 +0000 UTCI couldn't listen to the whole thing in one hit during my drive this morning, so 100% I'm relistening after work now!
Sil
2024-11-27 06:21:07 +0000 UTCAnd this was straight up Isengard River dam scene, you cannot deny it Aabria!!
Sil
2024-11-27 06:19:28 +0000 UTCSo we're just not addressing the fact there is in fact The Wizard Salamander? REALLY!?
Sil
2024-11-27 06:18:20 +0000 UTCOver here like, "are we really, really sure that's Silver?"
Nominal
2024-11-27 06:15:50 +0000 UTCno you dont understand I NEED the Ghibli movie of a Witch awakening a Tamori with the power of friendship ☹️

2024-11-27 04:23:25 +0000 UTCMe at the end: "It's done? IT'S DONE!!! WTF? IT'S DONE?!?!?!?!?!" - Can't WAIT for the next episode. This was so fun to hear more wiz biz in military/combat.

2024-11-27 03:31:48 +0000 UTCThis is the best show. Masterpiece.
thedragonllama
2024-11-27 03:27:27 +0000 UTCThis episode went so dang hard, but the one thing that's stuck with me is that it feels like the Adina the shield tamori and that one construct had a thing going on...
Moosemade
2024-11-27 03:15:52 +0000 UTCYES!! Same!!
Evelina Meiklejohn
2024-11-27 03:14:12 +0000 UTCI am absolutely breathless from that episode. STUNNING. CINEMATIC. TERRIFYING. Just... holy FUCK that was good!!!!! 💖💖💖
Evelina Meiklejohn
2024-11-27 03:12:15 +0000 UTCthis one has gotta be my favourite movie, well worth the wait

2024-11-27 03:05:32 +0000 UTCWhat fell deeds to the dark gods require so that I may get that amazing music from this episode?
Orion Delwaterman
2024-11-27 02:43:38 +0000 UTCthis episode has me screaming for so many reasons but the chanting in the background as suvi releases the flood???? HAUNTING
Jo
2024-11-27 02:40:41 +0000 UTCWORTH THE WAIT, GOD THAT SLAPPED Spoilers below; The literal out loud gasp I gusp'd when that nat one hit... BUT IT LEAD TO THE COOLEST ESCAPE!! Eurselon on full badass mode too - not much media makes me physically punch the air, y'all are doing something special here.

Hannah
2024-11-27 01:53:43 +0000 UTCThis was such a powerful episode, but also...the musical swelling on the initative rolls mad me pause to cackle because it was just a perfect bit of timing.
Riley Crowder
2024-11-27 01:42:58 +0000 UTCThe way my heart sank and I gasped so loud I nearly screamed at that nat one but the grief of that episode is something I didn't even know I needed
Karyn Saunders
2024-11-27 01:17:35 +0000 UTCJared too!!
Adarsh Nednur
2024-11-27 01:17:26 +0000 UTCMe too, but unfortunately none of them know how to install a doorknob, which as we know is a very important step of using it.
Adarsh Nednur
2024-11-27 01:16:27 +0000 UTCI love how Aabria rolled, like, three 21s in a row with that natural 1 right in the middle of them. Like, the dice REALLY had a story to tell today
Adarsh Nednur
2024-11-27 01:12:56 +0000 UTCI could say this about every episode, in all honesty, but the way listening to this felt absolutely cinematic was beyond incredible. Just amazing work on everyone's part. (I'm gonna enjoy this high for the next two weeks until y'all break out hearts again)
Alex Tawney
2024-11-27 01:11:46 +0000 UTCThank you! <3

Jonathan
2024-11-26 22:46:21 +0000 UTCBeautiful ep. However from the burning questions I am terrified for the next ep.
Tacotrashcan
2024-11-26 22:33:03 +0000 UTCBrennan has such a gift for keeping combat dynamic and engaging, what a great episode.

Haley Weatherford
2024-11-26 22:07:19 +0000 UTCJesus Christ, Taylor.
Alyssa Haughwout
2024-11-26 22:03:37 +0000 UTCInitially, "What? Less than an hour?"... Sheesh was I wrong to doubt. There was so much packed into this, especially the score. Would love an OST just for this episode.
Joshua Ruberg
2024-11-26 22:03:28 +0000 UTCso incredible and now i am suddenly worried this was part one of Suvi’s best/worst day 😬 (for those who listened to the bonus q+a)
Charlie Best
2024-11-26 22:02:14 +0000 UTC*flail* that was breathtaking. I have adhd and its hard for me to be focused on one thing, but this had me locked in and just wanting to get up and shout at multiple points. Just whoa. def going to listen a few more times
Warren Schnur-Holmes
2024-11-26 22:02:09 +0000 UTC"Brother, we need a flood." Eursulon getting the job done as always 💪 Also the Sound design for the NAT 1 was absolute perfection!
One Punch Max

Cody Hasselbring
2024-11-26 21:53:36 +0000 UTCThat was so good! TAYLOR YOU DID THAT. the singing was just SO GOOD! The exuberance at the end?!? Come through my guy
RT
2024-11-26 21:49:38 +0000 UTCOh it was everything I could have hoped for and more! Hard to pick a favourite moment, but I listened to Silver coming in clutch a dozen times in a row, so... 🌬️🫳⚡
Jonathan Spell
2024-11-26 21:49:34 +0000 UTCDude, this sound design is absolutely WILD. By the Man in Black’s gleaming white thighs, this shit was outstanding. I keep thinking about the spiraling scale as the battle was starting.
Ethan Dibeh
2024-11-26 21:42:25 +0000 UTCI was so worried about this but after listening back to the start of this arc Suvi said to keep it on ice at the fort so I’m hoping that they are all safe out of the combat zone.
Kaden Gardner
2024-11-26 21:41:59 +0000 UTCSo satisfy on so many levels. Then sound design overall is working overtime but especially on those spell effects. A perfect sonic rendition of feather fall.
Warlock Fulltime
2024-11-26 21:38:22 +0000 UTCI have listened twice so far damn damn damn, the DRAMA, the MUSIC, the LUCK ROLL, the barrel roll???? Okay Silver. Suvi doin BIG magic
Emily C
2024-11-26 21:35:01 +0000 UTCGotta add, I know it's problematic and unlikely, but I am now rooting for more Spirit/Empire collaboration just so we get some more of that good wind orchestra music. I LOVE a good wind orchestra!

2024-11-26 21:23:15 +0000 UTCBrother, we need a flood. CHILLS!!!!!
sukhpal thakkar
2024-11-26 21:22:20 +0000 UTCwhat a beautiful and accurate description of how lou/eursulon add to the campaign - thank you for phrasing this so wonderfully
Autumnis_Prime
2024-11-26 21:16:35 +0000 UTCConsidering Aabria almost always "didn't get that reference", she really naield the river scene from Fellowship! Improved it, I'd say.

Liam Horgan
2024-11-26 20:34:23 +0000 UTCWizards are so much cooler when you get to hear the cracking energy of lightning bolts and roaring explosions of fireballs. THANK YOU this episode was heroic not only in the story
Liam Horgan
2024-11-26 20:32:37 +0000 UTCThe music was insane
Gus
2024-11-26 20:30:49 +0000 UTCHoly God best episode of the podcast no contest. Just finished and I'm just gonna hit restart omg
Nick
2024-11-26 20:24:41 +0000 UTCThe MUSIC in this one! Suvi's (atonal?) agitated piano followed by Ame's swelling strings, so good. Also, well done on the Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares reference! I might have had to re-listen to that part because I was too focused on the music and missed all the action, but the mood and style of the melody and harmonies was spot-on!
Paletuvier
2024-11-26 20:05:09 +0000 UTCTaylor, you really outdid yourself
Aaron J. Shay
2024-11-26 20:04:15 +0000 UTCTHE SOUND DESIGN AND MUSICAL SCORE ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!

Katie Kat Artist
2024-11-26 19:30:53 +0000 UTCMy first thought was Brennan is taking a breath because now he has to figure out how Silver is going to die.
Karen Corcoran
2024-11-26 19:26:06 +0000 UTCGood God. There was so much packed into there I had to listen twice. Thanks for the early solstice gift guys!
Karen Corcoran
2024-11-26 19:25:14 +0000 UTCWe need a smash cut of Eursalon and his horse interactions
DaphneDawn
2024-11-26 19:13:43 +0000 UTCI was really expecting them to sneak in then use the doorknob to escape to Toma. What we got was so freaking epic I'm not even disappointed

vinnie451
2024-11-26 19:11:24 +0000 UTCThe whole entire sound design team kicks so much ass. There have been so many episodes when I was like, “This is their best work yet!”
Aviva
2024-11-26 19:11:19 +0000 UTCIt was absolutely the right call. Though I do wonder if Silver and the artificers rolled luck checks as well.
Aviva
2024-11-26 19:09:50 +0000 UTCLou has a gift. I welled up.
Aviva
2024-11-26 19:08:35 +0000 UTCThe sound design on that nat one. Fuck!

Lauren
2024-11-26 18:58:32 +0000 UTCThat’s the kind of insidious power of it, right? Our brains love narrative and music and color. Empires give that to us, at the expense of everyone and everything else.
The Wizard Seeker
2024-11-26 18:44:15 +0000 UTCWas definitely worth the wait! Taylor outdid himself on the sound design
Devin Ehlert

The Wizard Seeker
2024-11-26 18:41:46 +0000 UTCWorth. The. Wait.
Ben East
2024-11-26 18:41:30 +0000 UTCThat haunting choir was soooooo good, utterly worth the wait. I think I’m gonna listen to this episode on repeat.
Cryptfly
2024-11-26 18:38:59 +0000 UTCEverybody else was dancing around it, but leave it to Eursalon to just come out and say it exactly as it is.
The Wizard Seeker
2024-11-26 18:36:13 +0000 UTCI love asymmetric magical warfare and I know Brennan and Aabria do too! Om nom nom, what a feast!
Matthew B
2024-11-26 18:35:38 +0000 UTCSo immediately one of the best episodes of the show. I now see why this episode needed to be delayed- there was A LOT in the mix and it all came through! What a marvel of audio. Props to Taylor et all, this was a blast to listen to

Aaron Sterne
2024-11-26 18:10:10 +0000 UTCThe sound design went SO hard on this one. The nat 1 orchestra hit? dope. the crescendoing hits as they read off their initiative rolls? sick. the fireball? absolutely bangin. well worth a little extra time in the oven 🔥

2024-11-26 17:01:09 +0000 UTCThis ended on such a high note and I want to feel so happy about it but with what was said about Suvi’s best and worst days in the Burning Questions I’m now TERRIFIED. Thank you all 😭😩
Shannon Leimbach
2024-11-26 16:57:53 +0000 UTCAbsolutely blown away, the whole thing was just *chef's kiss*. PARTICULARLY the horns punctuating the initiative rolls.

I’m so jaded that my Bardic Inspiration ends up sounding like Vicious Mockery
2024-11-26 15:55:53 +0000 UTCRight? I mean he’s such a classic KNIGHT in this episode, banging his shield, racing along the ridge, fighting to near death, leading the troops on a gleaming white horse - he deserved this moment! But his heroism speaks in such quiet devotion, self sacrifice. Somehow even in an audio only podcast, Lou manages to keep Eursulon present in a scene *through* (not despite) his silences. I can FEEL when Eursulon is standing by, attentive and careful. God what a paladin. What a friend.

Cressida Ford
2024-11-26 15:45:09 +0000 UTCThis episode’s music and editing was INCREDIBLE! The growing war times as they each called their initiative rolls, the nat 1 music that had me shrieking aloud in the street, I mean DAMN this was truly such an episode. We are so blessed to hear such masterful storytellers weave their craft with assistance from such a gifted production team. God tier podcast. Pod tier.

2024-11-26 15:21:07 +0000 UTCI just keep remembering Aabria saying that Suvi's best day and her worst day are the same 24 hour period, which is coming up in this arc. That nat 1 had me so scared, but even if they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Abassin, that bestworst day is still incoming 😬

2024-11-26 15:19:02 +0000 UTCListening to this on the way to work~ the sound all around me. I was absolutely engulfed in the story… getting to work where it’s quiet, and it is deafening…what an epic experience. Thank you for all this beautiful art and sound.

2024-11-26 15:15:12 +0000 UTCWow!! This episode was Fantastic!! I shouted in relief when they all got their senses back and kept retreating. I'm sure my coworkers were very confused. 😅
Sara Elizabeth Nesbit
2024-11-26 15:12:48 +0000 UTCTaylor! The music on that nat 1 had my heart in my throat! That beautifully searing EMP sound on the fireball! The absolutely captivating vocals as the flood comes down! I love how they mirror the mighty breath of the river spirit! Absolutely impeccable throughout! Aaaaa

2024-11-26 14:43:40 +0000 UTC"Yep. Hold." In an entirely, terrifyingly beautiful episode i love this moment of suvi's resigned trust in the (for the citadel educated) absurdity of her friends' powers ❤️
Melina
2024-11-26 14:42:42 +0000 UTCThis is the most perfect description of Brennan's DMing in this game, I love it
Nathan Asher
2024-11-26 14:40:26 +0000 UTCOh 100%. That's why we use dice!! Good storytelling!!
Nathan Asher
2024-11-26 14:39:59 +0000 UTCIt was so terrifying, but you gotta admit it was the perfect time for everything to go pear shaped.

2024-11-26 14:31:52 +0000 UTCThe Nat 1 had me terrified but god what an amazing tale it led to. Gotta love this game
Miles M.
2024-11-26 14:30:52 +0000 UTCNow that was well worth the wait! EVERYTHING was so great! Firstly, the sound design in this episode was so on point. Oh my god. The creativity of the cast to navigate what seemed a hopeless scenario. Brilliant! Brennan. Just Brennan. I'm not sure if holding my breath for near on 50 minutes is all that good for my health but I'm too invested in this story to let pesky breathing noises interrupt my listening experience. 😆
Michael Mills
2024-11-26 14:28:56 +0000 UTCFinally a W for the team Also, "You can use the river, goodnight 😴" is the vibe

Abigail M
2024-11-26 14:01:03 +0000 UTCThis was BEYOND worth the wait! The planning and execution of this plan is D&D at its best, and you guys all brought it to life in spectacular fashion. When I listen to WBN, it feels like reading the best kind of book - I can see all the action happening in a lush mind-movie in my head. The performances and the brilliant editing & sound design bring it to life so vividly. Y'all have lightning (bolts) in a bottle here.
