i was listening to some older episodes, and in the one about villains, Brian mentiond NGE, and i love that show some much. it is a great show, and a work of art.
These remind me of the "Moving Stones" of Celtic myth. These were boulders that stood up, moved, and danced at midnight. "Galeb Duhr" looking like an Irish Gaeilge word definitely strengthens this connection.
Great episode, guys! You took what I thought was a boring monster and made me like it a lot more! I'd definitely have an NPC named Caleb Duhr if I used one in a campaign!
I ran one as a boulder blocking a cave entrance, also for flavor the appendages slide through the rock body so they weren't fixed so they just appeared and which ever side was needed
Greeting aspiring adventures Volothamp Geddarm here. I was recently traveling through the city of brass on business when I stopped for bite to eat at a stall near the gate of ash. I was speaking with the vendor, a rather talkative fire giant while he cooked the abyssal chicken I had ordered. Wouldn't you know it the subject of Azer reproduction came up. He said that an azer chap, a customer of his starting coming around for 3 meals a day; more than he had previously seen him. He told me that the fellow started to put on more weight quickly until he was all swollen and greasy. Well one day this azer was in his shop again demolishing another bowl of fire apple crumble when... he farted! It made such a vicious noise that the vender looked over and this poor gentleman had split down the sides and was now two azers. VG
It would be interesting to see these types of creatures and how they would be different in different environments, e.g. forrest, mountains, deserts. The deserts in the Dark Sun setting would be interesting for these little rock guys especially how that plays into the elements take the place of religion since there are no gods in that setting.
Whenever I hear like rock elementals or stuff eat just the rocks off the ground as like sustenance and they are also made of rock it's like is that some kind of body horror to them? Is it like the equivalent of the whole world or giant sections of the world being made of flesh.... and they're just cool with it. "That looks like my left kidney.... NOM" PS "If you want them to be sick give them sunglasses and a skateboard." I am never prepared for some of the things you say Brian and I expect you to keep it that way. Never change bro.... I'm very tired.
I've read the last book by Frank Herbert and the two books by his son that proceeded it, and I don't recall anything that seemed like an overt reference.
@@scotmcpherson Is there a specific descriptor that indicates they are those robots specifically? Thinking Machines were already established in the first Dune book as the ancient enemy of mankind, so the ones encountered in those last books came from them.
@@scotmcpherson I did, the thinking machines from the Butlerian Jihad were the enemy that they were running from, you didn't address what I said. You haven't given any indication how these thinking machines are specifically from Asimov's works and not just vaguely similar homages.
Paladins have always been OP, but older editions had those high stat restrictions so you had to throw serious dice during character creation to get in. Now that everyone can get in, it’s just too much. 😂

YOO I LOVE THESE LIL ROCK DUDES. Its always fun to have a suspicious rock follow the party around and just turn out to be a little dude.

Finally, a monster we can announce as the Great Lisan-Al-Galeb!
hell yeah! love this little geodude. thanks for all the hard work guys
"No don't read that comment"
William's just utter exhaustion in that killed me, lol
I would argue that mercury would still work on them as a poison.

“I know it’s a rock! Don’t you think I know a rock when I see a rock I spend a lot of time around rocks!”

22:52 The big rock monster, embedded for 1000 years: "Part of the mountain, part of the crew."
I love these guys, haven't used them, though, I just think they're neat.
So they love rock music! Love it
My favorite rock boys! I have a group of these in my campaign setting being tended by a korred.
14 left to go, looking forward to them!
Do you have a list going? Lol
For the record, Frank Herbert wrote 6 Dune books before his death. The 4th one is actually my personal favorite, God Emperor of Dune.
Elephants running from the great water elephantal
Duhr’s Concentrated Boulder for when you need to rock.
Shout out to Demogorgon!

One of my favorite creatures because of our home game i made one a elemental god. I totally thought they were Glab-Dur in pronunciation

And now I get to make a stat block & lore for the " Water Elephant God" that shall one day ravage the Sword Coast😂
They're like a cooler version of The Rock biters from The NeverEnding
I bet they have big strong hands

Did you know that Dune and Foundation crossover in the last book?

Geodudes?
Can a begginer play dnd raven volt?

Bards were also like that in older editions, except also having weird race/starting class requirements in addition to stats.
