"It's time to activate the monkey" is such a good line
Have been desperate to use it.
Random chimp event!
Just realized your background lights emulate the two moons. Nice touch!
They do! I wish I could say it was completely intentional, I only noticed after I’d set them up!
I love that you're including advice for play in this. This episode alone has taught me so much about how to handle combat and scene challenge, how to use moves properly and how to handle weak hits. I'm so happy to finally be watching this!
Thanks! I'm conscious there might be a lot of new players tuning in, so I'll try to dispense some practical "wisdom" if you can even call it that...
What a delightfully charming, swashbuckling adventure.
Why thank you!
First roll of the episode: a miss, silver lining - it wasn't a miss with a match. 😁
Got to look for those positives!
1) That shirt rules.
2) The old lady at the dinner table is a future romantic interest, calling it now XD
3) Every environmental detail during that chase was so perfect
1) thanks! They do great work those guys.
2) Probably…
3) thanks!
Got to love him leaning into being a scoundrel 😂
I was sad to see the end of the last season but this one is fantastic! I’m loving the more light hearted tone. There’s some great comedy moments.
That makes me so glad to hear. I’m just thrilled people are coming along for the ride!
I'm going to be honest here. I loved Archer and Luna. I felt more connected to them than I ever expected to in another person's playthrough. When you started this season, I was really unsure about the character of Gideon. Even during episode 1 I didn't know if I'd be as invested in this season as the previous two.
But this episode convinced me. I'm really going to enjoy this adventure.
Oh I am so glad you're along for the ride! It was my biggest anxiety about the new season and I am thrilled that people seem to be enjoying Gideon and Lorenzo's antics...
I'm a bit late to the party but that was so cool!! Love the lighter tone of this campaign and your ever impeccable story telling.
Thank you so much! I was a bit apprehensive about the tone, but people seem to be digging it.
Lol Gideon using a silver platter as a captain America shield against a mechanical arm foe is hilarious
He throws it with such deadly, Steve Rogers like accuracy too.
What a flight! I am amazed we made it off the roof and away from the manor. That was enjoyable. I almost anticipated to meet - not the head of the guards but - the merchant we antagonized earlier to be standing t the head of the stairs huffing and puffing and joining the fray. Also shout out for your support of men's mental health issue awareness. I recognized the T-Shirt. :)
That merchant! Imagine if he comes back in some capacity…. It’s a great T-shirt and a great cause!
Thanks for not actually cutting the fragment betweeen 11:30 and 12:09 despite you said you've do it :) I think there is some good piece of advice there guiding how to evaluate "Pay the Price" move to not cripple the narrative with poor choices.
In addition to that, I'm hooked on the story and can't wait for next episode!
Glad you’re enjoying it!
I’ve missed the series!!!!
I'm glad to be back!
Awesome episode. WTH have you only 5k folllowers. This was better than every Nextflix episode!!
That is so kind! I am just thrilled any number of people listen to be honest. 5 people would have been a result for me, so 5k is very much a bonus.
More like Chekhov's Skylight! I knew he was going through that the moment you mentioned it.
Always give yourself an out...
Felicity should have been named Ferocity. The lady just doesn't stop. It was a fun listen.
She’s relentless! It’s going to be fun figuring out what her deal is…
I’ve always preferred guile heroes over action ones, and Gideon is shaping up to be a great one. Loved this episode! I imagine there will be many opportunities to activate the monkey as the campaign continues
I need ACTIVATE THE MONKEY on a t-shirt
@@thebadspot make the merch! I’d definitely buy it!
@sweetpotatodato6068 Don’t tempt me
Lorenzo is the hero we need, and far better than the hero we deserve.
His antics are fast becoming the stuff of legend...
Felicity is like T-1000
She really wants that vial…
Lorenzo is the best boy.
He's going to bail us out a lot I think...
Hi, I like the story telling and enjoy your show. One question to the move 20:18 gain ground. The roll was a 2 on the Action Die and the challenge dice had 10 and 1. For me this would have been a strong hit with a match (the 10 equals a 1). And not a weak hit. Did I miss something? Thank you again for this wonderful show!
Hey there! A 10 on the dice is in fact, a 10 and not a 1. A 10 can’t be beaten with any action score!
@@thebadspot Thanks for the answer. I thought it is a d10 with 10, 20, 30, etc. Do I understand correct that this die had 1, 2, 3, 4,...,10? So the 10 is the 0 or 00. Thanks
@LD-gc4qg yeah most people will roll a d10 and a d100 when playing with physical dude because the two often come as a pair, but for clarity I use two d10s on my digital roller.
I am a first time watcher and have only just begun playing my first session of Ironsworn yesterday! (Sundered Isles) The first and this episode have been invaluable in helping me understand the game, coming in completely blind. Great work!
That’s awesome, thanks for watching!
Gideon in a fight seems a lot like Rincewind in a fight?
I'm not sure who that is, but I'll take it!
@@thebadspot From Terry Pratchett's Discworld?
@@three-cats-photography Not sure Rincewind would've paused for the coolness factor :)
From Discworld characters I am getting more of a Moist von Lipwig vibes from Gideon. He would certainly pause for coolness factor :-)
Ah, I thought that was it. I’ve never read any Pratchett but I assume this means Rincewind is a brave and powerful warrior…
Are you able to get some fan art of the climax scenes ? Is that a thing your fans may do for you ?
I've had some great fan art in the past, I never say no to seeing it!
I’m going to be a pedant again. 😂 and I love the story so just ignore me. It’s just the way my brain works to think, “would that work?”
She must be insanely heavy to wield that arm. Strength alone won’t change inertia. To stop him in full flight would require either mass or enhanced leg and body strength.
Don’t change anything as it’s great fun though!
😂
