weyland]: 00:00:03

welcome back to how to be a better d m i'm your host tanner wayland

lewis]: 00:00:21

m

weyland]: 00:00:21

um tell better stories as you d m sessions of d and d h and

weyland]: 00:00:27

usually would say d and d five but as everybody knows one d and d

weyland]: 00:00:33

quote unquote is coming out so you know we'll see the world's change ing and

weyland]: 00:00:38

we might have to change with either way exciting things i bring it up because

weyland]: 00:00:42

we're actually going to be talking about these this one d and d the wizards

weyland]: 00:00:48

of the coast announced um and so what we're going to be doing is uh

weyland]: 00:00:56

we kind of decided to change the format usually we do a lot of announce

weyland]: 00:00:59

that man at the start we're going to do it at the end we just

weyland]: 00:01:01

want to you know get to the meat so that you guys enjoy it and

weyland]: 00:01:05

then if you want some we've got some exciting announcements at the end and some

weyland]: 00:01:10

questions we have so stick around but first off wizards of the coast and i'm

weyland]: 00:01:16

sure you've heard of this justin but they have been releasing in little chunks some

weyland]: 00:01:22

of the material uh for people to just look over try out see if they

weyland]: 00:01:27

like it or hate it you know and then give feedback and that's what we're

weyland]: 00:01:31

gonna be talking about the first little chunk which was of their unearthed arcana character

weyland]: 00:01:39

origins

lewis]: 00:01:41

exactly and we we talked about kind of wizards of the coasts one d n

lewis]: 00:01:48

d announcement back on episode sixty one of the show so if you want more

lewis]: 00:01:51

in depth information you can heck that out as well you can get the unearthed

lewis]: 00:01:57

arcana p d f for character origins by going to the link in the show

lewis]: 00:02:00

notes it's labelled d and d beyond you're gonna have to can and enable one

lewis]: 00:02:06

d n d play test material but it's free so no worries after that but

lewis]: 00:02:10

today our goal is to basically give the facts kind of fact by fact and

lewis]: 00:02:16

after each fact an opinion so here's one thing that the document says here's a

lewis]: 00:02:23

little bit of how we feel about that and the first thing that i noticed

lewis]: 00:02:26

and it's a super subtle thing you actually if you read pretty fast you won't

lewis]: 00:02:31

get it but the first thing i noticed is that in the first paragraph of

lewis]: 00:02:36

determining your origin it says after choosing your characters class coma it's time to can

lewis]: 00:02:42

are the characters origin now if you've read through the players

weyland]: 00:02:45

yeah

lewis]: 00:02:45

handbook you noticed that that's kind of a switch because in the player's handbook of

lewis]: 00:02:49

dand five e you pick your race first and and your class but it seems

lewis]: 00:02:55

that in one dad that's switching it and i think that might be more because

lewis]: 00:02:59

people come to the gaming table with the idea of oh i want to play

lewis]: 00:03:03

a cleric and it's like okay we'll tell em more about your cleric and and

lewis]: 00:03:07

then you say a little bit more about their background so i think maybe that's

lewis]: 00:03:10

why they're doing that yeah

weyland]: 00:03:12

yeah i agree i think that it's just a little it's kind of a flipping

weyland]: 00:03:18

over the way we think of it but in a way i kind of think

weyland]: 00:03:22

it's great you know because s they're kind of making this push to not just

weyland]: 00:03:29

making everything so like focused on like oh stereo typical you know your race is

weyland]: 00:03:34

that you know is this type of thing you're in or cool that means you're

weyland]: 00:03:39

just ter typical or like some of their changes i've noticed have been like to

weyland]: 00:03:44

break that apart so it's like hey you are you know this this race but

weyland]: 00:03:49

that you're that race within the context of the as and

lewis]: 00:03:53

hm

weyland]: 00:03:53

and it's even interesting kind of like if you move on to the next part

weyland]: 00:03:57

they break down like what your character origin is um and they break it into

weyland]: 00:04:02

three parts which that's great you know because it's not just like oh you're you're

weyland]: 00:04:09

a dwarf probably mind

lewis]: 00:04:11

hm

weyland]: 00:04:11

i guess you know

lewis]: 00:04:12

m

weyland]: 00:04:12

it's like no you've got to figure out each part so first they say who

weyland]: 00:04:16

are the characters ancestors that that's race and how did the character spend the years

weyland]: 00:04:20

leading up to a life of adventure that their background um and also you know

weyland]: 00:04:26

their language as well and so they kind of break it down into the character

weyland]: 00:04:32

origin overview and you have a lot of different things they're right

lewis]: 00:04:36

oh

weyland]: 00:04:36

like for for race traits

lewis]: 00:04:40

oh

weyland]: 00:04:40

you've got like creature type size speed life span special traits each of those can

weyland]: 00:04:46

be broken

lewis]: 00:04:46

oh

weyland]: 00:04:46

down a bit more but i'm glad that they kind of are showing that like

weyland]: 00:04:51

hey even within each of these races there

lewis]: 00:04:55

ah

weyland]: 00:04:55

are different traits you know

lewis]: 00:04:57

yeah yeah and i actually do like that in a way it is it is

lewis]: 00:05:04

making it more make more sense because you know s in whatever world you have

lewis]: 00:05:12

probably have tusks right they probably have green tinged skin but you might

weyland]: 00:05:18

hm

lewis]: 00:05:18

have differences between and orkshawman and or pre stan paladin or war caster and those

lewis]: 00:05:26

differences would also include some of their natural abilities because a lot of us go

lewis]: 00:05:31

towards things that were naturally better at than worse at ah and i just like

lewis]: 00:05:37

how they're kind of simplifying it and saying the things that everyone actually does share

lewis]: 00:05:44

for example human beings the race of human beings we all have five fingers right

weyland]: 00:05:49

yeah

lewis]: 00:05:50

those are going to be part of your racial traits but not every human bein

lewis]: 00:05:54

ing is smart athletic you know what i mean

weyland]: 00:05:58

yeah

lewis]: 00:05:58

but one thing i did want to mention also and this is kind of toting

lewis]: 00:06:01

my own horn before i read this back in episode sixty talked about a few

lewis]: 00:06:07

ways to better write back stories and it did talk about your ancestors basically describe

lewis]: 00:06:14

the type of people who led up to your birth you know your parents things

lewis]: 00:06:17

like that which

weyland]: 00:06:18

hm

lewis]: 00:06:18

informs on your racial traits as well as writing out your back story of what

lewis]: 00:06:23

did you do before adventuring and that should also lead to your background traits and

lewis]: 00:06:28

those background traits as we've probably discussed already include your ability so bonuses your skill

lewis]: 00:06:34

proficiencies your tool proficiencies languages feats that's pretty new actually

weyland]: 00:06:40

yeah

lewis]: 00:06:40

and equipment oh

weyland]: 00:06:43

yeah and and i was just earlier today i

lewis]: 00:06:47

yeah

weyland]: 00:06:47

was looking at the character raises

lewis]: 00:06:50

yeah

weyland]: 00:06:50

and something because we're commenting you know we're making

lewis]: 00:06:53

hm

weyland]: 00:06:53

given feedback i do like how for each of the races like they do have

weyland]: 00:07:01

like like obviously it's a small thing but the size i like how they have

weyland]: 00:07:07

like for some

lewis]: 00:07:07

uh

weyland]: 00:07:07

of them they've got like the medium like

lewis]: 00:07:10

ah

weyland]: 00:07:10

for humans

lewis]: 00:07:11

hm

weyland]: 00:07:11

let's take humans for example it's like medium four to seven feet tall or small

weyland]: 00:07:16

two to four feet tall and i'm like that's cool you know it's a little

weyland]: 00:07:19

bit of less work and it's another way

lewis]: 00:07:21

m

weyland]: 00:07:21

reconstructing the races because if you're first choosing class i think that that's going to

weyland]: 00:07:28

make it so that if you choose the class then you can choose whatever whatever

weyland]: 00:07:33

race afterwards

lewis]: 00:07:34

okay

weyland]: 00:07:35

but then like you can kind of customize each race as well by being like

weyland]: 00:07:40

oh even within each race like humans you could technically be small you

lewis]: 00:07:45

hm

weyland]: 00:07:45

don't have to be a handling if you're a rogue you know you could just

weyland]: 00:07:48

be a small human that's fine um

lewis]: 00:07:50

yeah oh

weyland]: 00:07:51

but i really love the special traits special traits is just honestly much better than

weyland]: 00:07:58

you know i feel like they've upgraded it significantly compared to what they've done in

weyland]: 00:08:05

the past because like dwarfs that's what they used in the video as an example

weyland]: 00:08:12

yeah like a dwarf they just get all these special traits like dark vision dwarf

weyland]: 00:08:16

and resilience you know dwarf

lewis]: 00:08:19

hm

weyland]: 00:08:19

and toughness forge wise stone cutting and these things i do something like specific um

weyland]: 00:08:26

and it's not just a one time thing you know it's not just a one

weyland]: 00:08:29

time stap buff like even like dwarf in toughness kind of seems like a boring

weyland]: 00:08:35

trade in terms of like mechanics but it's so much better than what you would

weyland]: 00:08:39

see in the old system like your hip point maximum increases by one and increases

weyland]: 00:08:45

by one again whenever you gain the level level so it's like oh so basically

weyland]: 00:08:50

the hip points it's not just initially you're getting plus

lewis]: 00:08:53

oh

weyland]: 00:08:53

one to constitution is like no you're getting like extra hit points and it adds

weyland]: 00:08:58

up each level you know i just like little changes like that that make it

weyland]: 00:09:03

so that your racial choices um actually kind of build on each other and are

weyland]: 00:09:11

useful throughout the time and not just at character creation right

lewis]: 00:09:15

i agree completely and it also it does speak a lot more towards that idea

lewis]: 00:09:20

of your race bestows the boons and curses of your ancestors and you get to

lewis]: 00:09:28

carry those but your background kind of deals with a lot more of your choices

lewis]: 00:09:33

that you've made and just so you know listener some of the races that in

lewis]: 00:09:38

character origins the sheet that wizards of the coast have kind of put out as

lewis]: 00:09:43

races that they're considering kind of being the starting races some of those races are

lewis]: 00:09:48

humans ard links which are kind of

weyland]: 00:09:50

uh

lewis]: 00:09:51

the not necessarily replacement

weyland]: 00:09:53

uh

lewis]: 00:09:54

for

weyland]: 00:09:54

m

lewis]: 00:09:55

a simar

weyland]: 00:09:55

m

lewis]: 00:09:55

but they are the samar equivalent they're essentially the opposite of teeflings there are dragon

lewis]: 00:10:00

born dwarf elf

weyland]: 00:10:02

oh

lewis]: 00:10:03

nom halfling this one i find very interesting is ork instead of half or it's

lewis]: 00:10:08

just or and then the final one is teefling uh and ah no doubt we'll

lewis]: 00:10:15

see a lot more races come out in later play test editions i guess but

lewis]: 00:10:20

this is what they're considering right now

weyland]: 00:10:23

yeah and and they have a great list like you're

lewis]: 00:10:25

oh

weyland]: 00:10:25

going to see pretty much all of the big ones you know that you expected

lewis]: 00:10:29

hm

weyland]: 00:10:30

but um but yeah so i would say for each of you take a chance

weyland]: 00:10:35

to look through each of them i think that they really have tried to make

weyland]: 00:10:41

each of the races like more you know more interesting more game player rather than

weyland]: 00:10:47

state like focused and and so take a look i still need to go through

weyland]: 00:10:53

with a fine tooth comb and see if there's

lewis]: 00:10:55

hm

weyland]: 00:10:55

anything that i that i just play and disagree with but

lewis]: 00:10:59

m

weyland]: 00:10:59

i like i like what i've seen so far um

lewis]: 00:11:01

yeah

weyland]: 00:11:02

and then moving on to character backgrounds so what i note with the character background

weyland]: 00:11:09

is you know obviously it's going to have a lot of um you know a

weyland]: 00:11:16

lot of the basic things that you expect right like ability scores like skill proficiencies

weyland]: 00:11:20

things like that but one thing that i really like is how they um how

weyland]: 00:11:29

they kind of make it more focused on like a profession like like well at

weyland]: 00:11:35

least their sample backgrounds do and i think the apple backgrounds are a great way

weyland]: 00:11:39

especially

lewis]: 00:11:39

hm

weyland]: 00:11:40

for beginners now if you don't want to put together your own situation then they

weyland]: 00:11:46

have a lot of wonderful things like the acolyte artist and cultist guard play no

weyland]: 00:11:52

guard farmer and each of these have like just a whole like let me take

weyland]: 00:11:57

a farmer right they've got plus two constitution plus one wisdom skill proficiencies animal handling

weyland]: 00:12:04

nature because they say that typically you know you're going to have you know two

weyland]: 00:12:09

of the skills that are going to get proficient with right tool proficiency carpenters tools

weyland]: 00:12:16

language hafflingum feet tough and so like i just like um like that as an

weyland]: 00:12:24

example is like hey your background it's not something break the game with but

lewis]: 00:12:31

hm

weyland]: 00:12:31

but it's a nice place to be like hey this is where you're starting from

weyland]: 00:12:35

and and it just adds a little it flashes out your character a little bit

weyland]: 00:12:40

mechanic like because obviously with the race they're not doing that as much and so

weyland]: 00:12:44

with the background there they're doing a little bit more of the typical stuff

lewis]: 00:12:48

for sure one thing i think is that a lot of people probably complained about

lewis]: 00:12:54

starting at level one with basically

weyland]: 00:12:57

s

lewis]: 00:12:57

being in nobody this this backgroud thing i think takes care that you know like

lewis]: 00:13:03

bill bulbaggans wasn't a nobody he was a fairly well to do haffling in the

lewis]: 00:13:08

shire who had land property and enough to eat you know and starting him out

lewis]: 00:13:14

at level one doesn't necessarily you know show that and i think these backgrounds really

lewis]: 00:13:20

do a few backgrounds that in the sample list are new because it did take

lewis]: 00:13:25

a lot of them from the players handbook in five e but it added farmer

lewis]: 00:13:30

guard guide laborer and pilgrim and i do like all of those because you know

lewis]: 00:13:37

how many times do you just want to be a farmer and be like cloud

lewis]: 00:13:41

to adventure

weyland]: 00:13:42

yep

lewis]: 00:13:43

another thing that i found very interesting was in talking about the background it said

lewis]: 00:13:48

there are three methods to picking a background and the first method was creating a

lewis]: 00:13:53

background the second method was choosing one from a sample background a third method was

lewis]: 00:13:58

choosing one from the sample background and then tweaking it and i find it very

lewis]: 00:14:02

interesting that they first listed creating a background and here's a justin prediction when one

lewis]: 00:14:09

d n d comes out or even in the months leading up to it and

lewis]: 00:14:12

after we will see a large explosion of kind of home brew content being centered

lewis]: 00:14:20

around creating backgrounds that are interesting new and unique and that give you kind of

lewis]: 00:14:26

different flavor so check back with me in like a year or two and i'll

lewis]: 00:14:31

tell you if i was right but i wanted to read the rules for creating

lewis]: 00:14:34

a background because i think that's really important because if you do want to play

lewis]: 00:14:39

test this out home this is how you start so you start with background features

lewis]: 00:14:45

ability scores when you determine your characters ability scores choose two of them increase one

lewis]: 00:14:51

by two and the other by one alternatively choose three ability scores and increase each

lewis]: 00:14:57

of them by one next choose your skill proficiencies by choosing two skills and your

lewis]: 00:15:02

character gains proficiency with those scales next for tool proficiencies choose one tool and gain

lewis]: 00:15:09

proficiency with it for language choose one language from the standard languages and a lang

lewis]: 00:15:14

which is tables and and those are later in the document and your character knows

lewis]: 00:15:20

that language next you choose one first level feet and you gain that feet and

lewis]: 00:15:25

finally for equipment you gain fifty gold gold coins g p points is that what

weyland]: 00:15:33

gold

lewis]: 00:15:33

g p

weyland]: 00:15:33

pieces

lewis]: 00:15:33

is for

weyland]: 00:15:34

probably

lewis]: 00:15:34

old

weyland]: 00:15:35

gold

lewis]: 00:15:35

pieces

weyland]: 00:15:35

pieces

lewis]: 00:15:35

gosh

weyland]: 00:15:35

yeah

lewis]: 00:15:36

i'm so stupid

weyland]: 00:15:37

you get no

lewis]: 00:15:37

fifty

weyland]: 00:15:37

gold points

lewis]: 00:15:38

gold

weyland]: 00:15:38

i

lewis]: 00:15:38

piece

weyland]: 00:15:38

love it

lewis]: 00:15:39

i was like gold points that's that's new it's not new fifty gold pieces

weyland]: 00:15:43

yeah

lewis]: 00:15:43

to spend on starting equipment and then you keep anything you don't spend so if

lewis]: 00:15:48

you want to do your own background right now that's exactly how you do it

weyland]: 00:15:53

yeah and as part of your background it'll especially if you're choosing one of the

weyland]: 00:15:59

sample backgrounds now just as in the side i said

lewis]: 00:16:05

ah

weyland]: 00:16:05

flippantly that you could create your own you can because like justin was saying there

weyland]: 00:16:09

is a there's a method to the madness you know you're like oh i choose

lewis]: 00:16:12

yeah

weyland]: 00:16:12

this for for the ability score is this for the the proficiency things like that

weyland]: 00:16:19

you can do that and that's great um but and then it's part of that

weyland]: 00:16:23

you can choose a first level feet or if you choose one of the background

weyland]: 00:16:28

like farmer that i was going through before their first level feet is tough um

weyland]: 00:16:35

and this

lewis]: 00:16:36

yeah

weyland]: 00:16:36

is another thing about making your character right from the get go a unique individual

weyland]: 00:16:42

who actually has something that they're bringing to the table rather than blank slate that

weyland]: 00:16:46

you kind of need build out um and so like tough it's a first level

weyland]: 00:16:50

feet something that mentioned here is you know each feet you sometimes they have pre

weyland]: 00:16:59

pre requisite sometimes they can be repeatable um pretty much all of these first level

weyland]: 00:17:05

feats are not repeatable or and they don't require pre requisites which makes sense because

weyland]: 00:17:11

their first level right like they don't there's no feet that you could have before

weyland]: 00:17:16

this so of course it's it doesn't have a pre requisite um but tough

lewis]: 00:17:23

oh

weyland]: 00:17:23

with the farmer would have

lewis]: 00:17:24

ah

weyland]: 00:17:25

um it has the feet means your hip point maximum increases by an amount equal

weyland]: 00:17:32

to twice your character level when you gain this feet whenever whenever you gain a

weyland]: 00:17:38

level hereafter your hip point maximum increases by an additional two point two hit points

weyland]: 00:17:44

so it's kind of similar strangely i don't know how this happened but like i

weyland]: 00:17:47

was reading the dwarf in toughness this tough is just like hey you don't have

weyland]: 00:17:52

to be a dwarf you can just be tough now if you had a dwarf

weyland]: 00:17:57

farmer then they would both have dwarf dwarf and toughness and they could and they

lewis]: 00:18:03

yeah

weyland]: 00:18:03

would just have tough so they'd be double tough you know

lewis]: 00:18:06

hm

weyland]: 00:18:06

um

lewis]: 00:18:07

that's a beefy farm boy

weyland]: 00:18:08

as a beefy farm dwarf you know

lewis]: 00:18:11

yeah

weyland]: 00:18:11

ah but

lewis]: 00:18:13

yeah

weyland]: 00:18:13

yeah i just like um i like that i like these feats for the first

weyland]: 00:18:17

level initially can i be honest when i first heard that they were like oh

weyland]: 00:18:22

you get feats at first

lewis]: 00:18:23

ah

weyland]: 00:18:23

level as like whoop do you do huh

lewis]: 00:18:25

m

weyland]: 00:18:26

um

lewis]: 00:18:26

m

weyland]: 00:18:27

but i do like in terms of building a character i think that it is

weyland]: 00:18:32

a small touch that can actually mean a lot it means that your character background

weyland]: 00:18:37

it has a lot more it's more fleshed out it's more three dimensional and i

weyland]: 00:18:42

think it can make new players especially get into their role faster right

lewis]: 00:18:47

ah um full disclosure i actually haven't read the next m by the time this

lewis]: 00:18:55

episode comes out the second edition of play test material has come out which is

lewis]: 00:19:00

expert classes i believe are expert tease classes so i haven't read thou so i

lewis]: 00:19:05

don't actually know what classes look like quite yet in one did but here's another

lewis]: 00:19:10

prediction that feats will have a bigger role and there might even be like tons

lewis]: 00:19:18

more specific for each individual class that will make kind of branching out in class

lewis]: 00:19:25

sub classes

weyland]: 00:19:26

oh

lewis]: 00:19:26

and even sub sub classes possibly much more sable because the feats will make it

lewis]: 00:19:31

much more customersable but also one thing i noticed and kind of back to my

lewis]: 00:19:37

point about there's the coast putting out first that they want you to create your

lewis]: 00:19:42

own background i think with this play test material it shows that they're much more

lewis]: 00:19:48

interested in players customizing their character and creating characters from the story up

weyland]: 00:19:54

yeah

lewis]: 00:19:54

because you start with a story and then it sounds like they want you to

lewis]: 00:19:57

kind of talk to your demand and find or create the background perfect for your

lewis]: 00:20:01

character rather than you know minmaxing from the get go which i find

weyland]: 00:20:06

oh

lewis]: 00:20:06

is very interesting yeah

weyland]: 00:20:10

yeah yeah i completely agree with what you're saying there i think that they are

weyland]: 00:20:15

making more character focused which i think for everybody makes it a better a more

weyland]: 00:20:22

inclusive game because i think a lot of people it takes a sec to get

weyland]: 00:20:27

the joy of minmaxing right because

lewis]: 00:20:29

hm

weyland]: 00:20:29

i think that that's a little bit for more experience players right m for new

weyland]: 00:20:35

players and players and honestly even experienced players like everybody can uh can find good

weyland]: 00:20:43

characters and good story approachable right

lewis]: 00:20:47

hm

weyland]: 00:20:47

so yeah i like the focus we'll have to see you know my guest is

weyland]: 00:20:54

that in terms of their making character origins they're probably not going to have to

weyland]: 00:20:59

make too many changes there is my guest because

lewis]: 00:21:04

yeah

weyland]: 00:21:04

pretty simple you can tell that

lewis]: 00:21:06

yeah

weyland]: 00:21:06

they're trying to keep it pretty simple as it should because creating a character shouldn't

weyland]: 00:21:11

take twenty days or anything but yeah i like how they're going so far

lewis]: 00:21:18

to be honest i completely agree i don't think they're going to change very much

lewis]: 00:21:22

of this

weyland]: 00:21:23

yeah

lewis]: 00:21:23

and when it first came out i wasn't too fond of kind of like they

lewis]: 00:21:30

nerved the race bit

weyland]: 00:21:32

yeah

lewis]: 00:21:32

you know and

weyland]: 00:21:33

yep

lewis]: 00:21:33

i wasn't too fond of that because i was like no like i love dwarfs

lewis]: 00:21:36

being dwarfs and or being orksand crap like that but this makes it so you

lewis]: 00:21:42

can't customize and still retain the dwarfiness of it if you want or you can

lewis]: 00:21:47

make something far off in left field and the d m doesn't have to do

lewis]: 00:21:50

as much work creating up all sorts of strange rules instead they're built in or

lewis]: 00:21:57

you can just make it a dwarf dwarf and you know everyone's happy or you

lewis]: 00:22:01

can't you know like either way so

weyland]: 00:22:03

yeah

lewis]: 00:22:03

i do like how they're moving it's gonna different though for sure

weyland]: 00:22:06

yeah absolutely and i think some people especially those that are experienced with the game

weyland]: 00:22:11

they're going to have some issues with that you know that's

lewis]: 00:22:14

hm

weyland]: 00:22:14

that's normal people are going to want to men ax and do it well and

weyland]: 00:22:20

and there's certainly a game and like certain groups that really thrive on that

lewis]: 00:22:26

yeah

weyland]: 00:22:26

but i think they're trying to avoid that for the average player now

lewis]: 00:22:30

yeah

weyland]: 00:22:30

hum

lewis]: 00:22:30

yeah i agree

weyland]: 00:22:32

m i mean otherwise there's not much more like in terms of this this first

weyland]: 00:22:39

material that they released on just kind of

lewis]: 00:22:41

hm

weyland]: 00:22:41

going through it here seeing if there's anything we missed

lewis]: 00:22:44

one thing i will say is

weyland]: 00:22:45

eh

lewis]: 00:22:45

that there are are ton of feats in there and i think they

weyland]: 00:22:48

oh yeah

lewis]: 00:22:48

even listed a few spells and and

weyland]: 00:22:51

oh

lewis]: 00:22:51

there's a big glossary

weyland]: 00:22:52

yah

lewis]: 00:22:52

at the bottom we didn't go over the fees because there's too many to really

lewis]: 00:22:56

go over and we didn't go over the glass because you should probably already know

lewis]: 00:23:02

that or you know if you don't please email us and well we'll figure something

lewis]: 00:23:08

out but the rest is mostly just kind of reference material

weyland]: 00:23:14

yeah exactly but honestly everybody get your get your sticky paws into this just

lewis]: 00:23:22

oh

weyland]: 00:23:23

just rummage through it make it all good but yeah i think that there's a

weyland]: 00:23:28

lot here worth looking at they aren't revealing anything to crazy at this point i

weyland]: 00:23:35

think they're playing it safe and they'll do some of the more questionable choice is

weyland]: 00:23:41

later so we'll have to we'll have to see that and we'll be right there

weyland]: 00:23:46

ground floor with you guys um but that is that's a podcast before we leave

weyland]: 00:23:54

we got a few announcements um first off we want to remind everyone of the

weyland]: 00:24:00

weyland]: 00:24:49

a glimpse of

lewis]: 00:24:51

m

weyland]: 00:24:51

of rob's story how is it

lewis]: 00:24:52

m uh it's it's really cool so i'll just share this little bit to the

lewis]: 00:24:58

and this was it's funny so like the day before he told me this i

lewis]: 00:25:01

was reading in the monster manual and i read this specific part so and i

lewis]: 00:25:05

was like i should make a story about that and then rob did it but

lewis]: 00:25:08

whatever so essentially you have been charged by a specific group to investigate a colony

lewis]: 00:25:18

of kuatoa and cato are fish like people and they have this very strange ability

lewis]: 00:25:23

that as a group they can essentially through their faith and belief that something exists

lewis]: 00:25:31

they can make it real and some very strange things have been happening and from

lewis]: 00:25:35

what i've understood that legend of like this

weyland]: 00:25:39

yeah

lewis]: 00:25:39

quito group manifesting like an evil arched deity or something like that and you have

lewis]: 00:25:44

to figure it out so there's a little taste for you of bone daddy excellent

lewis]: 00:25:50

story and i'm i'm super excited

weyland]: 00:25:53

lewis]: 00:25:55
