The thing about the Mulligan, Iyengar, Thompson, and Cartwright, Pro-Bono Rules Lawyer law firm is that two of the four partners have been elevated to positions on the Supreme Crit and I personally hope that the other two partners also get the call up someday
Listening to one of the d&d courts w Zac and they’re discussing a player who hid their own nat 20s so they didn’t make the other people at the table feel bad, and at one point Emily goes “well I think there is a pressure in dnd to kind of like, hide your power” and then nobody says anything and she’s like. “… or maybe that’s just a woman thing”
Which like. The idea that the best dnd player in the world is at any point actively having to rein herself in??? Good lord. All this time she’s been wearing training weights and also the training weights are the misogyny she has to deal with being in this community. Imagine how powerful she actually is. She’s literally Goku
Following NADDPod's example, I'm going to try and bring D&D Court as a panel to the anime cons I attend! I need YOUR DnD disputes!
If the NADDpod Supreme Crit Justices are too unavailable, how about submitting your case to Small Claims Crit? We're only marginally less unavailable!
While I will take some audience submissions, I hope to have a solid caseload to manage while the bailiff collects plaintiffs and in case of a reticent crowd. Gimme your disputes, from petty to campaign-ending!
I'm currently hoping to run this panel at Anime Detour, Anime Iowa, and Planet Anime in 2024.
today’s dungeon court had dani’s submission about the froghemoth we fought, so i doodled caz to celebrate! that oneshot was such a blast, even if the D&D court judges voted against dani’s desire to use milk in the end 💔
Emily: I have a stupid question, because I don't really eat cereal except for Fruity Pebbles on Christmas. Uh--
[Everyone laughs.]
Murph: Moving on.
Jake: So you do love the Flintstones!
Caldwell: Right! Yeah, as god intended.
Murph: Moving on.
Emily: (shocked) What? Are they Flintstones related???
Murph: Of course!
Caldwell: (yelling) What?!
Jake: (yelling) What?!
Caldwell: Emily!! (laughs)
Jake: No! No!
Murph: Emily, they're on the-- they're on the box. That you have. In our home.
Emily: (yelling over him) I only eat them once a year! I-- (laughing) eat them once a year!
Caldwell: (laughing) what are you…
Jake: Impossible. How did you not know that?!
Murph: And the Flintstones are on it!
Emily: (still yelling) I don't fucking make--
Murph: (yelling) Surely-- surely--
Caldwell: (laughing) It… what do you mean?!
Emily: --what's on my cereal box!
Murph: Surely you've watched television once! In the past 40 years!
Emily: Yes, I have! (laughing) I have.
Caldwell: Wha-- do you like pour the box and then instantly put it away? Are you not looking at the box while you're pouring it?
Murph: They're all-- Fred and Barney are all over that shit.
Caldwell: They're all over it.
Emily: (calmly) I have a very… (laughs)
Murph: They're Pebbles. Flintstones.
Emily: My… my attention is precious to me and I gift it only to the things that deserve it. (laughs)
Caldwell: He named the cereal after his daughter, don't you understand?
[Emily and Jake laugh.]
Emily: Well, so I didn't know that context! So that went unnoticed by me.
[Caldwell sighs.]
Murph: Moving on.
Jake: Insane.
Emily: Anyways, um, do they still-- so since I only really eat that like once a year, do cereal, like-- is cereal still going nuts with mascots?
POV: Two really good GMs are hearing a question in which a really good GM rewards a really good player who consistently made incredibly thoughtful and sweet RP choices with a one-time ability that will help the entire party, and the rest of the party screamed that it wasn't fair:
