Hey since it was brought up in the episode, for anyone who plays D&D and has plastic minis with bent parts like those giant axes, you can actually fix them really easily. WITH SCIENCE! All you need is a stove top, a pot, and a container of ice-cold water (with ice-cubes if you want). In layman's terms, plastic molds have something called "mold memory". When the liquid plastic is hardened, the molecules are set in a specific position. Though they can get stretched, heating them will cause them to snap back to their original position. SO:

In the pot, heat some water to just BELOW a boil. (If it starts to boil, just turn it off for a moment until it stops). Then (VERY CAREFULLY) dip the entire bent section of the mini into the extremely hot water. Almost instanly (depending on how thick the bent part) you should physically see the part bending itself back into position under the water. Give it a few more seconds for good measure, then remove the mini and immediately place it into the ice-cold water to lock it into its proper place.

Seriously, if you don't believe me, try it first with a small mini you don't care about. It's the best thing since sliced bread.

This is phenomenal marketing for D&D it makes the game look so accessible and the guys seem like a lot of fun down-to-earth dudes. I've turned a couple of my friends onto the game through showing them videos prior to this series.

An hour and 20 minutes?

And what have I done to deserve this wonderful gift?

[WYCD]

80 minutes of glorious D&D action!? Thank you Chris Perkins and Penny Arcade!!!

[davidorionmazur]

So judging by his roll, Viari appears to know the name of the wind? Well played Pat.

Viari - "I will just be a little more careful from now on."Moments later
Riding a gust of wind towards enemies targeted with a fireball.

I like that they just have fun. They ignored and messed up a lot of the rules, but who cares as long as they're having a good time! :)

[BostonDeadHead]

An hour and 20 minutes! It's on! It's time to relax and watch my favorite adventuring group.

[shaneloy]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the Dran enterprises leader;
1. Is an elf
2. worships Melora
3. 20:22 just phase-stepped behind the giant
Could it be the return of Aeofel?

1:06:35 Mike reaffirms the long held tradition of D&D: the DM always wins.

"So it looks like you T-Bagged me, effectively you just walk up and put your butt on me." hahahahahha lollolol

[BradRomer]

6:46 - 6:49 This is me the whole time I'm watching this series...

[vicentefernandez]

Love the fact that Binwin still kicks ass, even while sometimes hitting like five times, sometimes four, sometimes up to two. He's like: "I ain't gonna bother with you, just tapping you twice over the head".

[BryanTurner]

This is the most epic action since several PAX live games ago. Fun to listen to!

[Nemisis]

Patrick Rothfuss' delighted laugh makes my day. Roll on, boys; roll on...

[anthonyarmstrong]

25:22 the ice troll figurine jumps when Patrick yells 😂

[kurtpachernegg]

Thanks for working so hard on this series guys, cheers!

[anthonyborg]

Whose i 2024 rewatching start to finish? Probably been said but Patricks " i sense and ally doing magic, i must dodge." Made me crack up for an extended period of time.

That is exactly the kind of distrust i had in my own group.

[tytan]

I wonder where they are playing. That room looks pretty cool. Glad the series was created. Solidified me and some friends into playing D&D. Thanks guys, love ya.

[FfejTball]

I would buy and frame one of Perkins' maps, that beautiful bastard.
