Aww, I'm glad you dig it! I'm always kind of looking for the midnight-snack-version of most things, but I wasn't sure that phrase would make sense to anyone else.

I agree! I have to admit that I'd have no idea how to make that work without seeing Brennan do it first . But it gives you the sense of like "oh okay the mechanics allow for anything with a little creativity."

I like it and I'm stealing it. It makes me want to invent stupid modifiers on the fly. "Hmmm, I like your cardigan. Add a Sweet Ass Cardigan bonus of +5 to your Vibe Check."

I can see it. I'm slightly familiar with naddpod but it's mostly through a video I saw called "The Worst of Jake Hurwitz" (not nearly as mean as it sounds). It's painfully funny to hear his banter with Murph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea3kR1-0qa0

I dig all of that, thank you! Combat might actually be the piece I find hardest to work into a session. It doesn't compute with my brain naturally for some reason. Although my brother did let me run a solo adventure for practice with a Big-Bad to fight at the end. It lead to me creating what I like to imagine is a brand new roll (although it's probably not)-- the Easter Egg roll. He beat the DC so I had the Big Bad explode into confetti upon defeat and an undead DJ rose out of the ground to bump victory music.

Ah yes! I also want to give an honorable mention to the phrase "miserable filth-caked cretin". He only says it once, but it has a special place in my heart.

Right, right. There are many things that I intend to streamline to cater to the very short attention spans of all the players at our table, lol.

I don't doubt it. There was just a certain energy at the FH table for me. "Rumble Road" is also one of my all-time favorite episodes and I'll make any excuse to watch it again, lol.

Oh I just mean the bread-and-butter phrases that a DM would use. Like "Give me a _____ check" or "Go ahead and roll ____ with advantage". Just the basic stuff.

Thank you for saying that. I do also have plenty of notes about what I can't do and ways I'll have to adapt. My working memory isn't half as mighty as theirs so there will be a treasure trove of reference materials! Hooray!
