Yeah, my bad y’all. Thought this would post on Monday. Truly an incredible showing by Heidi. Also, owls have evolved to be so quiet, as a hunting strategy, that their wings have been studied for making quieter wind turbine blades and high-speed trains.
Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
No Frumpkin! This is an outrage!
This is AMAZING
As a fellow cigar smoker I would adopt joann
I wasnt expecting an actual owl to show up!! That is wild…literally.
I would love to see Sprinkle and Nugget meet Trinket at some point. Let them trade notes on their owners. Also, can we get a sequel to this one? It was amazing.
Watching Travis cry with laughter and amusement is just awesome. Poor man has been tortured with horror and now gets a silly one. And Matt bowing and shaking his head at his wife's pun names. Just fun for all.
Milo & Otis, but with meth
What would be cooler than All the critters making it out? Fjord having a living crab as a familiar and part of his Armor? I say Yes.
Veth and CLAPP both hate water, Veth has a couple levels in Wizard, CLAPP can be Veth's familiar.
Was this actually a year ago… I've been keeping it in my back pocket as a "just incase"
Have I really not run out of credit content in that long ?
Isn’t Sprinkle the Traveler in disguise?
Wanna play A Familiar problem? You need d10s, character sheet and SPOILER an owl
Heidi…..that is a powerfully unfortunate visage.
Really want a sequel with the crab, the octopus, and the pseudo dragon finding their way on Darktow after the Mighty Nein get thrown out.
Well, now it has been clarified to me that C2 Spoilers:
Sprinkle is not the Traveler. Sprinkle's body hosts the Traveler since he was purchased by Jester
I love this. Would love familiar problem 2 but with patè
I love how sprinkles voice is a mix between Macaroni’s and Chetney’s
I love how sprinkles voice is a mix between Macaroni’s and Chetney’s
This was so fun and funny. Matt's animal characters always seem to come off as slightly unstable x3 never thought I needed Matt being the bitch boy of a drag queen in my life
