For anyone hesitant to join the stream, it really is a blast. Coming from someone who doesn't chat often in ANY stream, it's just such a fun time and incredibly welcoming!
Congrats again to Alice, that was amazing! All the homebrew people are really flipping creative and great at storytelling 💜 It's 100% understandable in regards to giving the campaign update live. A monthly or bi-weekly update might be an option, I don't think people would mind longer videos anyways but whatever you think works for you 🥰
On DMPCs: I only did my DMPC for my 3+ year campaign for a number of reasons. 1st: party knew about this character I had and wanted him tagging along their adventures. 2nd: this was a sort of "heist crew" party with an existing tactician, charmer, sneaky thief, and hacker types. My guy fit nicely as "the muscle" who had dogshit lore and charisma check scores, not at all good at being the face for anything, followed the group's plans and only chipped in to give the most in-character "brute force" approach that they almost never listened to. 3rd: it gave me a nice tutorial quest for the new players of "you gotta go find out what happened to this guy" so they got to get their toes wet, without him aiding them, and allowing them to get the hang of their sheets and what they're capable without relying on an NPC's strengths. To this day they love him and from the feedback he never overstays his welcome
so i have two horror stories in this episode (oops) 2/3 -the goblins were entirely random. constantly. -i did try dm’ing a game in the discord, unfortunately scheduling didnt work out, but i do now dm another game with people i met in the discord and some other people we met, and i play in a discord game as well -the runescape thing has been figured out (ish… she wasn’t paying too much attention last time but i do understand the long day of uni) the rolling thing has not though she has rolled (slightly) lower -i have found dnd group that work for me, and even did the thing you suggested! the character who had the revenge arc (my partner in real life) met the person who killed her fiancée while on the road, fighting off some of his bandits before running after him. they found him in charge of a town, then they fought him. i warned them that this was a hard fight that they very well might lose, and they did, but when Kaelyn (the pc) went down, the bad guy only had one hit point left. they escaped the prison they were thrown in, and now have a reoccurring bad guy i cannot wait to see them fight again
The last wholesome story is my campaign! I played the rogue and I can confirm, we talk and think about this story ALL the time. It was truly one of the best moments in all of DnD for me.
Every episode I join in with you guys for the intro and say "The Eldritch Podblast" with you 😂 I love your vibes and I feel like having you guys in a D&D group would be the best!!
Horror 2 with the DM PC: our first campaign was really small and we all wanted to be squishy spell casters so our DM made a PC in our party. He was a half orc barbarian who had no input on any decisions and certainly wasn’t figuring out puzzles lol. The DM PC was inspired by Ludo from the Labyrinth which was perfect.
Might have to get involved in the homebrew challenge for once for no other reason than that it was a simple ranged weapon. Slings are my favorite D&D weapon so i might need to brew one up.
“Sarah kept driving home the point that her character really wanted Ven sexually and was really frustrated with him not wanting that. It was a constant thing” as an asexual, this makes me so mad. I know this is pretend, but this happened to me in real life. I’m sure this is a common situation for romantic asexuals, and it is NOT a fun situation to be in. Nor would I think it would EVER be a fun situation to play out in a game.
what if you just replaced one episode with the campaign updates.. so like tuesdays episode is just homebrew challenge stuff/campaign updates and then thursdays episode could be the normal rotation of horrible house rules/AITA/horror & wholesome/unpopular opinions
Do you know if RUclips metrics like a channel more if like 100% of videos get 75% watched or if 75% of videos get 100% watched? If the second, then splitting out videos into tighter on-topic videos would be better (so like putting campaign updates and homebrew challenge in their own videos). But if the metrics prefer all videos get some watch time, then better to put in all together and have viewers skip the parts they don't want to see. I while ago I somewhere that YT metrics promote channels the most if they are fully watched start to end -- but not sure if that is still current info.
Definitely not friends with them anymore. Thank you for reading out my story!
I'm so glad you loved the art, never drawn a sword like that before but I'm so pleased you love the outcome 💜
Omg I love it so much, you did such an amazing job! Thank you so much again

You absolutely should!!!
Very much looking forward to it guys Going to be a great episode!
Hell yeah!!!! Very excited 🎉
Monday after my lunch break, Podblast
1:24:58 this actually is me everytime y’all say the stream is gonna be a “longer one” XD
Omg LMAO 😂
Eating lunch at 3.30pm lol, nice and meatballs (Veggies who?)
Second horror story with the large number gobin encounters clearly the DM is trying to get their money worth out of them minis
omg if only - we played theatre of the mind 🙈
which channel do we post our submission for the homebrew challege?
In our Discord, there's a whole section called "Homebrew Challenge" and you should see the open thread for this challenge!
@@eldritchpodblast turns out i had that channel muted, no idea why. now to submit my attempt.
submitted completely with no room to edit for my first go, it's not the best, but it may resonate well.
“Sarah kept driving home the point that her character really wanted Ven sexually and was really frustrated with him not wanting that. It was a constant thing” as an asexual, this makes me so mad.

So happy to have Alice win it!
Lunch break podblast!
