Did y'all lose the rights to the music or something? It's been conspicuously absent from the last two videos and I really loved it.

Mandy are you wearing a purple wig? SWEET!
also why does the Wyvern not have any arms?

 

[Navdi]

also why does the Wyvern not have any arms?

Wyverns don't have arms separate from wings. That's one of the things differentiating wyverns from actual dragons.

Another most excellent episode. The recap thing at the start is a great idea as it really helps lead in to what's happening during the episode. Mandy's purple hair does look cool, very Japanese animé/jrpg ish. I'm also really liking the model buildings, reminds me of the stuff my friends and I used to use when we played Warhammer 40k.

Still hoping someone mentions to the leadership of Vornheim that the Medusa is in league with the goblins and is planning an attack on the city (and that someone can go all Perseus on her ass at some point). That Wyvern has some impressive guards on the front door, Talking spiders! Oh and the Wyvern saying "Excellent" 7 mins in sounded like an undead Mr Burns, awesome.

Must admit I can't remember Mandy getting cursed, oh well good excuse to go back and watch the older episodes again.

I have been wondering what's going to happen if you guys do successfully raise Satine's old character, is she going to play two or is one going to get put in reserve just in case.

Do Americans generally pronounce Wyvern differently than the English? Because everyone I've ever heard it from says it w-A-vren.

Other than that bugging me, great show, keep it up!

An explination is needed for the lack of music, it worked really well!

plus, purple wig?

Edit: oh and is it just me that has been pronouncing whyvern as "why-vern"

Mandy has the coolest taste in... hair. That sounds odd.

It just dawned on me that this whole time Zak has been single-handedly responsible for entertaining an assortment of hot chicks, using only silly voices and his own imagination, and virtually nothing else. I mean, that takes some stones. No way I could do that. Probably. So, y'know, 'props', or whatever (I've never been good at compliments).

 

[AgentNein]

I've always pronounced it "wiivern". the "why" part like "with" and then vern. Although you know, I've never heard it pronounced by anybody but my friends who game so they might just be way off.

Fun Activity Time: Ask any of your friends to pronounce "Cthuhlu", I can almost guarantee you'll get like thirty different answers.

That was my main concern. However, there is the old trope of after having a (near) death experience you realize how good life truly is and retire.

And I love the discussion on how to pronounce Wyvern.

why thank you for that insight it shows that i don't play D&D.

 

[Mumorpuger]

That's a chunky, yet adorable chihuahua.

Also... I dig the purple hair.

 

[WaderiAAA]

With a purple haircut like that, she could have been an RPG character

Fun to see the different pronunciations of Wyvern. Looks like there is a lot of stuff coming up. I can't wait to see what Mandy's question is to the Wyvern. I'm sure it will be about her past, perhaps her demonic origins. This story is pretty epic.

I could see the lack of music as being a stylistic choice. This is a downbeat, town episode and the music would be almost too badass to match it.

I noticed that the top bar of the widescreen is gray instead of black -- weird.

My crush needle is swinging toward Connie the last couple episodes. I don't know if it's the "us girls" vibe with her and Frankie, or if she's more engaged by this kind of episode, or just having more screen time.

I liked Gia's "It's wyvern with a Y" comment, she's cool so far.

Zak, I went to Gen Con and actually met Shannon Stiltz and got her to paint me a waitress mini from the same set your bartender came from. I bought a couple other minis too -- it's a lot easier to find one that matches your character in metal than in the D&D minis line. My plan is to use the minis unpainted until the character has lived five sessions, then get them painted.

Still lovin Mandy's hair. And I always thought wyvern was pronounced WhereVenn

It's pronounced "Why-vern"
And also, it's pronounced "K-thoo-loo"

 

[spookydom]

Zaks Mother superia voice stole the show for me. It's like half the Queen and half Skexie from The Dark Crystal. Like the intro/recap, keep them coming. Liked Mandys hair. Is there somebody behind the camera we haven't seen asking questions sometimes? He Sounds like Brandon Fraser Good show boys and girls, good show

 

[mandymorbid]

Thanks for the hair love! Vivid-Vivka made that wig!
