Since Blaine's our DM now, I thought he deserved a sticky thread like Sark's, in case he drops in. And in case you were wondering, this thread is brought to you by Brown Julius.

I lost it at Brian's ad for some dude named Christian Mingle (from the makers of Jay Date.)

Since this is our last shot, off the top of my head: 1. What was the necromancer doing with the men, exactly? 2. What was the deal with 12-pack, the water village "elder"? And did he live? 3. What could Jayphe have done for the party? 4. Could they have saved Glinishmore? 5. How peaty is Glinishmore whisky? 6. Did podcasting change the flow of the game or your DM style at all? 7. What are your thoughts on coming out to the coast?

This episode only confirmed my suspicion that I want to be friends with Paget Brewster.

I remember Sark saying he had to frequently relinquish all of his worldly possessions (including role-playing books) due to frequent family moves– that was why finding his own old Top Secret S.I. books on ebay was such a big deal for him (and so creepy to Brian.)

I nearly died when Sir Richard made an in-character Lebowski reference. Next week on NERD POKER: Amarth Amon [to old man]: This aggression will not stand, man.

It's called HarmonQuest; Harmon, Spencer, et al. did a live recording of a different D&D campaign that will eventually be stop-motion animated by Starburns Industries. I may be wrong about the podcast thing-- I'm not sure how it's going to be distributed. Link: http://www.cinefamily.org/films/dungeons-dragons-the-movies/

Is Stargoyle indestructable?

Steve Agee and Kumail Nanjiani have both been hilarious on the Harmontown D&D (without totally derailing it the way some of the other comedy guests do.)

He hangs out at Meltdown and did an impromptu cameo on Harmontown-- they tried to get him to play D&D with them, but he wasn't up for it (at least on that particular day.)

Aside from playing D&D in his own podcast, playing D&D another upcoming video podcast, and writing season 5 of Community and 1-2 other shows, you mean?

Reeeee! Stargoyle!

It wouldn't surprise me if Sark has killed a good number of NPC pets over the years considering how gleefully he wipes out player characters.

Nothing until 7/31-- https://twitter.com/earwolf/status/359460299507634176 This week of dead is air is brought to you by drenching cold sweats and those bugs under your skin!

Rats, just read Brian's tweet. No Episode 35 until 7/31. Blaine will have a LOT of dead air to sponsor. Yes, definitely, to both.

I need to know what aristocratic necromancer creep is up to (and what this dead air is brought to me by) about 11 hours ago.

Sark, I was floored when I realized the entire Water Elemental Plane scenario was just a sidequest. I know you mentioned some (tantalizing) examples of missed sidequests/alternative paths earlier in the thread. I was wondering, in general, how much of that kind of branching do you bake into these campaigns when you write them? I ask now mainly because the current adventure (hunting for meat to feed fartivorous meatsharks so they can ID the skeleton facehugger ladydrainer things) seems like one of the least likely branches they could've gotten to. On an unrelated note, I can't watch Game of Thrones without thinking of Giantard and Firetits now. So thank you for the entertainment you provide, and also for completely ruining Game of Thrones.

Sark's disgusting descriptions were killing me this episode. Is everything on this planet made of flatus and orifices? Because if so, I approve.
