    This is madness and I feel like someone really needs to say this:

     

    The Eiger Sanction is about an art history professor and mountain climber who doubles as a professional assassin and is coerced out of retirement to avenge the murder of an old friend.

     

    I hope that didn't come off as too critical.

    Hey Dan, I just wanted to say thanks for being a presence on the forums, and I think it's awesome that you were a fan of the show before you joined the party. Mind if I ask you a few questions?

     

    Have you ever DM'd? If not have you ever thought about it or written up a campaign? What kind of characters have you enjoyed playing the most? If you guys ever reroll for a new campaign do you already have a character in mind?

     

    And one final question, or maybe just a comedy nerd/D&D nerd request: how has Paul F. Tompkins not been on one episode of Nerd Poker ever? The man is on every podcast in the universe twice a week. I'm just curious and think he'd make a great cameo guest wizard or something. So if you see him around Earwolf please try to casually bring up the fact that a total stranger would like to hear him roleplay with you guys.

    It's been over four months worth if episodes since they've actually interacted with an NPC outside of combat (red giant on the road, which attacked them anyway) so hopefully the blue town leads to some not-constant-murder.

    Instead of starting a new thread, I just wanted to jump in here and mention how offended I was by Dan's non-cool shirt that he apparently wore to the recording of this episode. Once I saw that picture, I was all like "Man, fuck YOU, Dan Telfer's boring striped buttondown shirt!". I mean, I got heated. Almost turned this shit off FOREVER.

    Instead of making Case Closed it's own podcast, Matt should just limit the segment to when he can actually get a qualified debater or recognized spokesperson for whatever the debated subject is on the show, instead of Timmy from Tuscaloosa who just wants to hear himself on a podcast and folds after two minutes.

     

    Also if you don't like the music just fast forward, Christ. But I'd like to see Matt mix it up a bit, maybe get Brendon Small in there to melt their faces with some instrumentals.

     

    Oh, and Texas.

    Mmm, yes, I definitely see the association between "an overemotional reaction to a perceived slight" and proctologists (and no one else). I mean I know you're trying to be funny and save face but there's no way you can't tell you're arguing in bad faith.

     

    Good work there on connecting the dots and deciphering my sarcastic take on incorrectly deconstructing the word butthurt into a homophobic term.

    You're a dummy. Now that's an example of something not rapey or homophobic.

     

    Yes, linking to a page that clarifies the usage history of and definition of a term makes me a dummy.

     

    Butthurt is not homophobic. Why would it be? Because the word combines "butt" and "hurt"? What about heterosexual females that participate in receptive anal sex with well-endowed men? What about proctologists? They went to school specifically to deal with hurt butts. If anyone should be offended by the term butthurt it's them, since it makes light of their career choice. Case closed.

    i will keep my negative opinions to myself from here on out.

     

    Fuck that noise, bro. We're all entitled to our opinions, popular or not. Shit, 40% of Posehn's act is complaining about the direction Star Wars went in after the original trilogy. Personally I find the fanboiesque postings of "it's a free podcast just stop listening" more annoying than anyone's sincere thoughts on a show, especially when you can tell just by reading their opinions that their complaints, whatever they may be, stem from a genuine enjoyment the show has given them for long periods of time.

     

    Right now I think Nerd Poker is drifting and could be better from a story perspective, but I still listen and I have faith it'll settle in once Blaine introduces a MacGuffin the party actually doesn't decide to ignore.

    Really enjoying these eps with Dan's common sense style and Rick's Gerryish recklessness! Can they stick around when Sarah gets back? :) Blaine should have let them roll to see if they could have converted the giant corpse into a raft. Dice hijinx might have ensued!

    I think Gerry has a cult following because 99% of his hilarious output came from his stringent staying in his insane D&D characters, so I don't think a little more immersion from the rest of the cast would hurt. It's actually really hard to find a well done, weekly, funny D&D podcast (/nerdproblems). But it's really easy to find podcasts full of random tangents. Just sayin'.
