All right, welcome, welcome, Welcome back to What the Fuck a Fool's
Quest style. We are covering a lot of stuff today. So to kick
things off, first, big shout out to our Patreon executive producers. We
have two of them, one mister Nick Mead, Thank you, Nick Mead,
and the other Patrick t Arsenal. Thank both of you. Are Yeah.
Second, you may notice we did not have a December Patreon either for
the general public or December Patreon December what the Fuck either or no yeah,
yeah, yeah, no, we didn't do a December what the Fuck for
the holidays or and so we got one for January that's going to cover both
December and January's episodes, simply because we took the month off for the holidays
because we were busy, shit crazy enough. Yeah, and it was just
it was ridiculous. So thank you for bearing with us, and we are
going to cover as much as content as we possibly can. So how this
works. The first fifteen to twenty minutes of this, we'll cover quite a
bit of things as well as some of the questions that we got from our
discord, and that will all go out to the general public. After that,
we will close out the general public, and the rest of the conversation
will head over to our Patreon only subscribers, which includes more people than our
executive producers. But they get that quality content that we've learned to bring through
years of podcasting years. We're the behind the scenes good stuff. Yeah,
we're pretty much professionals at this point. All right with the With all that
said, let's go around the house and see who we've got. So I'm
your GM Nico and with me, I've got Tony who plays Eddie. We
know in here on this soundboard we do need that. On the soundboard,
we've got miss Adira Glow. What's up, guys, Time to go,
also known as Jess. And then over to Jesse who plays Bill Quiverlance I
do. I play him on TV and on the symbols. And then our
our mixologist, our editorialist, our soundcraft engineer of the day, mister Mike,
who plays Rag. I put in all the fart sounds, just those
ones. Everything else just happens. It's right there, recorded live when we're
in session. Yeah, it's all a cappella on effects that we do.
It's pretty impressive owntle pit orchestra. I'm really surprised the money's not rolling in
me too? You know me too? So talented? All right, first
episodes dive in. Yeah, so we're just kind of kind of do like
a big overall recap of what happened in December. So we went to Lisa's
hold, then we met a bunch of a bunch of random NPCs and Lisa's
hold. I did a little bit of shopping. I kind of prepped to
go into the Naxi forest where there were a bunch of a bunch of spiders.
So I dropped some hints about some things that we're going to be in
a Naxi's forest or forest. Yeah, yep, I spelled it wrong on
this, But in a Nuxi's forest. What did you guys expect going into
that? Did you have thoughts or expectations or what that would be like going
through the forest. Didn't expect spiders? I did? I did? There
was there was, Yeah, I expected. There was some hints on the
map that's like, oh, I bet there's spiders there. Yeah. Oh
yeah, catched me back up. I forgot everything that's happened. I did
not do my homework, So it's okay, I'm being caught up with all.
Sorry, I will know that. Uh, that whole time that we
were on that side of the forest at least is holding everything. We never
once forgot about Valley. Never was that before or after she got ran over
by the cart. It doesn't matter, it never happened. Yeah, she
got ran over in the forest, so that's true. Yeah she was fine
after. Yeah she got better. She's small. Yeah, she's a tough
little bird. They ride me up with the co That was the first time
that we did the Perilous undertake a perilous journey as well, right, yes,
yeah, it was cool. Yeah, well I left. Everybody had
their own little role to play, and everybody's role individually had a effect on
the whole journey. That was cool. Yeah, I really like that about
the system. That's it makes the travel less. I don't know, all
right, you get there, yeah, yeah, flavor. Yeah, it's
like adding Lowery's. Yeah, lowers toss some it's tossed some old bay on
there. Oh yeah. It definitely keeps me on my toes as well,
because two of you might succeed, but the third one messes up, and
then I have to try and figure out, like what does that look?
Yeah, those degrees of the degrees of success in the Dungeon World system are
just a lot of fun. They gotta be. Yeah, it definitely keeps
you on your toes. I can see that. Yeah, Thatt's off to
you for being so flexible and on the fly. Yeah, I'm efficiently on
the fly. I really appreciate that. None of you guys ever give me
grief for my options that I give you. You're never like, well,
that's stupid. Wait, they're always They're always a tough choice, is the
thing? Like whatever, it's like an option, it's always a tough next.
So I feel like you're pretty good at the options. Oh man,
I didn't know we could heckle. I'm gonna start hackling. No shit like
no, I don't want that, or bargaining. Okay, what if we
do this? Do you want to do this or this? Boo next?
No, No, both the choices suck. Let me let me your own
one. Buy it here. I will say the fact that we record this
in my living room. If you boo me, I'm going to chuck dice.
And there're those heavy metal dice. So yeah, Warven forged anger.
Yes, I have a metal hundred sided If you need to borrow. Don't
help him. You're on the wrong side here. I'm also a d M
on the side, so no more hells for you. It's my arsenal.
I'll still After that, we got into the forest. You guys survived the
spiders. You had the trapped spiders that jumped up and gobbled you. It
got a little dangerous there for a second. And yeah a deer a new
rag for a minute, you got a little scary. Yeah, I completely
forgot about that. Yeah cool, Yeah, perilous, definitely perilous. Yep,
full apparel. There were no perils too great. And then you made
it to GMO's gambit and uh, and the spiders left you alone. They
were just like, nah, you guys find out you're in Girmo's gambit.
Yeah, they didn't want to mess around with the which they needed something.
We're all upside with absolutely no complications. It was wonderful. Every kind of
brings us to our first question from the discord. Yeah, so, uh.
The first question from discord was what's everyone's new favorite move? Major armor?
Mine's major armor, which if as long as I have a spell prepared,
I have plus two armor, and like, right now, that's incredibly
useful, because I still don't have any spells that are real great in combat.
So I've been, you know, getting in there. I like that
one. I only have the one move. Really, it's just it's just
the feel better, hit harder, police, I'm gonna pick you back.
I also like it when you have that move and you fail and it heals
the bad guy or buff the bad guy that's never happened. You're a liar.
You don't get to gaslight me in real life. I seem to remember
differently as well. Oh yeah, totally, even though I don't have my
notes, I do remember, like, what was the bud lights? Didn't
you like, uh, heal those while I was trying to kill and let
you kill them very efficiently. He didn't. He didn't heal the buds.
He healed the supervisor, the bud visor, the bud visor. You can't
prove it. He was right at this moment. You're correct, But I'm
sure I have it in print. I'm sure I have it in print.
I just didn't bring my notebook. God damn, I'm so not prepared.
WHOA, this is bad. Do you have a favorite move? Oh?
Not a new move? I guess I think I had this one the whole
time, but I got to successfully use what are You Waiting for a couple
of times. Yeah, it's pretty bad. I like that. Yeah,
I can't remember if I selected Samson and exactly what it does, but I'm
excited for that one too. Mm hmmm sweet because again I don't have my
notes. What about you, Mike. I've been enjoying the thing talker addition
to which allows me to shape change into things made of stone and wood and
rock and both sand whatever. That's that's been fun. Yeah, yeah,
I'm just like, go ahead. I was just gonna say it's also had
to rag writing poetry about a certain room. I am. I do feel
like I've gotta I've gotta make them weird, Like the weirder the object,
the weirder the conversation has to get. Yes, you did a good job
with it. Yeah. I love that you tailored the NPC voices to what
the object is, how you perceive it, and they they're all different and
interesting and amazing. Uh huh uh huh. Did we get to the stained
glass window yet or did we still edit? I think we had. No,
it's not in the stained glass window is in garrisk. Oh yeah,
that not quite because the last one I gave you titles four was us arriving
at Derisk. Okay, okay, so we're not there yet, but to
come coming up. Thing talker, the stained glass Window, jellyfish. No
spoilers, No spoilers. It's not a spoiler. If you have patreons,
that's fair. I know this is the non patreon thing, but there you
go, there you go. There's the jellyfish thing. Isn't a spoiler if
you have only fans. It's not like you purchase. It's just if you
have one of your own. Everybody everyone gets a you know what I'm talking
about. You know we do. So the first question was from me.
The second question comes from Kevin. Uh And I like this one. Why
does everyone fall for gas lighting magic? That's the one I was thinking of,
for the gas lighting medic? Is what he said, Fall for the
gas lighting medic? Why does everyone just naturally believe? You see, he's
he's he's good at what he does. I don't know what you mean,
fall for it? I'm just right. I just figured he was. He
says these things, my brother, But did you die? Not yet?
I tried to resist it you've gotten very very close. I do love the
idea of gaslighting magic of an illusionist healer. That just convinces you you never
got to begin with, Well, how else would you explained with your eyes?
You look down, the arms still on. I mean it's not,
but it is. There's blood on the ground, but there's no cut on
my arm. I don't get it. It's weird. Oh that's super cheesy
magic where you just watch the wound disappear. Oh my god, you're right.
I mean, honestly, it is like every superhero show. You remember
that movie, like The Last Action Superhero when he's like, I gotta get
you back into the movie because that bullet wound is gonna become just a scratch
and he's like bleeding out. Yeah, fantastic, great nineties movie. Actually,
I'm pretty sure that movie does not hold up, but probably it's been
a while since i've seen it. So okay, So back to Girmo's gambit.
You guys, I put a lot of work into Girmo's Gambit. Like,
I had a lot of thoughts that you guys were gonna do some stuff.
I had a bunch of stuff written down. We skip probably two pages
of stuff, just to start off with, ooh, rag. I thought,
for a fact you would fly above the city to get your bearings and
scout the place out. I had a scenario, Bill, I had rolls
put together, I had stuff for like if you got a seven through nine,
like I had it all planned. And then you're like, oh,
no, I'm not gonna fly not in here. That sounds like a terrible
idea. Why does that sound like a terrible idea? Usually, like the
last time I turned into a bird, it didn't work out great. So
I think I'm just gonna stick to something that can climb, like but like
crumpling up paper and throwing it away to terra pages. I liked the whole
you know, spooky abandoned you know castle idea in the middle of that forest.
That the fact that the spiders didn't want to go in there. I
was like, Okay, there's some ship in here. Mm hmm. That
was cool. Yeah, that was where we figured out that could become a
puddle, so yes, and a stone wall and yeah that could change the
face from one side the hilarious yea are they still there? Hold on,
old Jack, there's a lot of stuff. Even if we missed half of
it. There was still a lot that we But I would like to note
that we never once forgot about Valley. Nope, especially not there. Definitely
not. The first night we stayed in the tavern, we didn't realize that
we had left Valley at the other place. It was part of the plan
to keep her safe because it might have been risky going over to the tavern,
and she had the wagon, so it was all part of the play.
It was. It was all part of the plan. We didn't forget
perfectly excellent. Yes, someone had to keep an eye on the Cranes.
She had no idea, and it was a it was a like a test
at this point. I'm pretty sure it's on purpose, you would think,
but somehow it's not. What's funny is you guys not only forgot Valley,
but you also forgot the chest full of gold everything. Guard this with your
life. We'll leave it with the trader is Hafling that followed us out of
the city completely. We were pretty sure she wouldn't be able to get out
of the city. Yeah, I'm lying. We weren't pretty sure that we
just we don't know her. We just trusted the cranes you guys fought Martin
Crane. I kind of yes, yeah, pretty sure. I almost died.
But it was intense. Yeah, that was a rough one. That
was I think that was the scariest one. Yet they just they just keep
getting scarier and scarier. I think nko's determined to get rid of at least
one of us. Well, your roles were not good, No, that
in that fight, I think I think I succeeded one role. That whole
fight, I succeeded so well that I healed not only my target, but
additional targets. So I don't know. Again again I don't I don't understand
why you're just shitting on my success right now? It's a problematic O rich
ere their clerics who can't heal as well as I can. All Right,
So I want to do one more question from discord before we wrap up the
general public portion of this, but kind of a more serious question and really
kind of a big one. How can Eddie learn from other schools? Is
he the new avatar and does he have to face the evocation nation? Yes,
Eddie, why don't you explain? I don't know. Okay, it's
not my fault, it's not my fault. Why are you so special,
Eddie? Look, we don't know that Eddie is special. Well, you
see when a man loves the devil very much. Why Eddie, why why
would you do that? Spoiler? No happen or did it? Yeah that
last week it just happened. Yeah, yeah, it just happened. Don't
mess with my head. Jes Like, I edited all of them, so
I don't know which are all right. Thank you all so much to the
