  Speaker 1: Hello, their leap Frogs. Welcome to a very special episode
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: on the podcast feed today. If you weren't aware, and
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: why would you be? May is a five Thursday month,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and with our new release schedule of two fandemoniums, an
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: episode of press play, and a bonus round every month,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we don't really account for what happens when there's five
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Thursdays in a month. I personally think the entire concept
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: should be outlawed, but there we go.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: So while we prepare for.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Our live show on May twenty fourth, and so we
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: don't couple together another fandominium or something like that. That
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: would be kind of half baked. Instead, we got the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: opportunity to do an actual play of a fantastic new
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: game called Imminent Peril. Imminent Peril is the chaotic, improv
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: storytelling survival game where players compete to escape deadly situations
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in the most creative ways possible. Look it's essentially competitive
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: grown up make believe. Which, if that doesn't sound like
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a handful of games that we play here on the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Game Leaper's podcast feed on the regular, I don't know
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: what to tell you. And this actual play that we
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: did was an absolute blast. If you like the games
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we play here on this podcast. You're gonna love this episode.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: A huge thank you to the creator of the game,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Aaron Lanowitz for guiding myself and Audra and Ben through
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: this actual play. And thank you to the Wider Criit
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Harder team for creating, developing, making this game and sharing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it with the world. And the kickstarter for Imminent Peril
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is live right now. There will be a link at
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the very top of the show notes where you can
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: see a more clear and detailed explanation of what Imminent
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Peril is as a game, as well as some other
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: cool actual plays in case ours isn't enough, So listen
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to this actual play. Listen to us have a bunch
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of fun with a brilliantly simple and imaginative game that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I think would go down well at pretty much any
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: party gathering, game night, community event, almost any situation really.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're in actual peril, then solve the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: real peril so you can play the make belief peril
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of Imminent Peril. I know we had a lot of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: fun recording this on a cozy weekend morning. It allows
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: people to flex their imagination, and I think if you're
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: listening to this podcast that's something you're a fan of.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And now I'm gonna throw things over to Ben. Oh yes,

• 4:12

• 4:16
  Speaker 6: closest to my relentless updates and changes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Sho your sounding board for all time. Yeah, yeah, we're
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: gonna be playing your game, Imminent Peril, which should be
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: hopefully on Kickstarter when this launches and or soon depending
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: on what Dark Commissar decides to inflict upon our trade policies.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a that's a whole thing. We're gonna build
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: what we can into it to mitigate what's going on.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: But yeah, that's all you can do.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Yes that play games? Yes, so Aaron tell us about
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Imminent Peril.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll give you the short version. Imminent Peril is
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: a creatively chaotic storytelling survival game. The short version is
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: you and your friends are trapped together in a deadly scenario,
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: running from one life threatening situation to another, using special
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: abilities and your imagination to survive.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Well, let's go ahead and get into playing, and then
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: after we finish the game, you can tell people you
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: know where they can find it and all that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: But let's get Yeah, that sounds good. It's straight to
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: the fun bits. Let's keep our audience engaged, all right. Uh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: first step, we will roll our scenario. So we are
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: starting in and exploding zoo full of rotting no unicorns. Okay,
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: exploding zoo full of rotting unicorns. So next we need
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: to more details, kind of fill in the blanks. How
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: do we glue these things together to make a situation
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: a full world? How do we tie these together?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, imagine if it's got rotting unicorns, what eats unicorns?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, you'd have to have so many unicorns you'd
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: need to have a zoo full of creatures that ate them,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I presume, right, Like so.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: I like that, And exploding is some kind of like
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: containment protocol maybe for whatever that is.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is the insinuation there, bend that all animals in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: zoos are ones that we eat?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, well, the insinuation, I guess would be all
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: animals and zoos are ones that i'd.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Eat a person who preference.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, they if they've got like a freezer full
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: of dead unicorns that they feed to you know, the
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the tarasque or whatever they're keeping in this zoo that
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: eats unicorns, and the some sort of.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: The refrigerators went down. This sounds like some kind of
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: like zoo slash buffet.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Totally. That's that's gonna be why my character's there. He's
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: there for the for the buffet at the end of
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the zoo.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And the exploding element to this.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: I had the idea of, like, you know, some kind
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: of containment protocol, but I feel like I think we
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: might be able to do better. Do you guys have
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: some ideas? Why is it exploding?
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: If it's a buffet situation? Could it be one of
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: those like experiential restaurants but where the pyro went a
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: little bit wrong? Yes, is just a little bit more
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: intense than they had anticipated.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: That sounds perfect.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I like that that there's like there's a buffet in
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the middle of the zoo where all the animals get
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: to watch you eat them, and uh, and the pyro
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: went sideways and there was a big explosion. And now
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: that all these animals that you were eating are now
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: free and able to eat you.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I like to picture that all the animals
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: enclosures were also definitely pointed at the buffet area. Yeah,
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: because if you're not being watched eating their friends and
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: loved ones, then.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: What where's the thrill?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: This does sound like a one percent exponential Now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: This is the the elite zoo buffet of the unicorn.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: On the bright side, I think we probably all deserve
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: whatever comes to us.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: Yes, all right, is there anything else you guys would
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: like to add, generally before we put ourselves into the story.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: What were the four elements? Again?
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: I think I'm i'm so rotting unicorns, which is like
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: some kind of stock that had gone prigerator has gone bad.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: They were they were previously frozen exploding zoo, which is
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: because of something something's wrong with the fireworks that always
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: accompany the nightly dinners at the zoo buffet.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, so well, perhaps they had like a like a
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: display of like taxidermy, poorly taxidermied unicorns, and that's what exploded.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: So there are now unicorn parts and horns throughout the venue.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Just a sea of unicorn viscera.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and it's it's driving all of the animals
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: into a frenzy.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: So there should definitely like as a one percent like
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: crazy elite retreat thing. There should definitely be like a
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: shooting range of some short where you get to you
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: get to take down your favorite Yeah yeah, you get
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: to shoot your you get to pick and shoot your dinner.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: But it's like weapons from across the board, like maybe
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: there's a tank in there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, yeah, we got the money for this.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we can do anything.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, literally, good stuff. All right, So next step, we're
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: going to insert ourselves into the story as characters that
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: have been there all along. If anybody has any ideas,
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: feel free to just jump in.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Do we draw traits for our character or anything like
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: that or.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: Do we no, no, no, we are. It's just like
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: wherever you want to be in the situation. So it
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: for example, I will be somebody dressed like the guy
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: from Jumanji, like the African like canvas flat hat. Yeah yeah,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: like they're really dusty, like everything's canvassy and dusty, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: I have like a pipe and my mustache. Yeah yeah,
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: like super like well oiled curly and I'm running the range.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: I guess this is fault. I'm certainly to blame in
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: some amount.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Well, Can I to also absolve some of the blame
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: from me and try and claim a position of service worker?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Can I be like a butler who is bringing out
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the animals for the buffet?
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Absolutely?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe the maybe the pyrois by fault. We
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: won't get onto that yet, but like I'd like to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: be some kind of a snooty butler wearing like a
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: monarch and like a towel over my of my wrist
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to mop up one percent messes.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: That's perfect. This is a very much an improv game,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: meaning that if you don't explicitly fill in every single
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: detail right now, that's fine. If you don't say you're
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: in a particular place, well that it doesn't really matter
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: until it matters, and then you can just define it
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: at that point, all right.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I will be a guy that won a sweepstakes or
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the once in a lifetime trip to the mythical feast Zoo,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: and I'm I was super excited about it. Wanted to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: try one of every you know, just a little bite
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: of every animal.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: I am Olga better chomp. I am a food critic, perfect,
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: and it's been a while since I've been back, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: they better have stepped up their game. That's what buffet.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: That's why they did the Pirate Technics display. They were
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: trying to impress it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they knew I was going to be there exactly this.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: They actually setting this up just for you to put
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: some more pizzazz into the show.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: We need that third Michelin star.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: We're not going to survive without it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Well, if you're adding names into the mix, I'm going
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: to be Sir Blunderbuss, Master of Arms.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I will be I'm going to be a combination of
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: two Butler stereotypes.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to be Reginald Jeeves.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: It's good.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I'll be a Doug Smith. I just want to dude.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Perfect. Oh man, I probably should write those down somewhere.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: But so we are now all a part of a story.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: We explicitly don't hand your ability cards until this moment,
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: so that you have no idea what your power set's
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: going to be when you place yourself into the story.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: So three rounds means four cards when you use an ability,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: unless it says can be used again later. In some
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: fashion they're burned, so your hand of options is shrinking
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: as the game progresses.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Oh interesting to start.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: Take a look at your target. So if everybody remembers
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: what their target was doing last once you know how
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: you will be putting them into peril. Flip your target
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: upside down. Okay, all right, so I will go first.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: My target is Audra or I should say Olga better
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: chump the renowned food critic in a desperate attempt to
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: please you, to wow you with like some spectacular effects
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: along with the food. While they were going overboard with
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: the fireworks across the board, they also thought, like thematically,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: how awesome would it be? Is like if you took
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: your very first bite, just sparkles exploded out of the
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: side of your set your super deluxe slab of unicorn beef. Unfortunately,
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: though they as as their first year, were doing anything
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: with combustibles, they definitely got the mix and ratios wrong,
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: and as you bite into it, it's exploding.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, perils first.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Yep, everybody gets put in peril, and then everybody has
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: the same amount of time to think about how they're
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: trying to get out of that situation.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, be So my target is Aaron what was
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: your character's name, the.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Pith helmet guy, Sir Blunderbuss or Blunderbus.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: How could I forget that?
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: The arms?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: So yeah, as you know, you're kind of the master
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: of ceremonies of sorts here, So like, as you're up
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: at the front and the unicorns explode, you know you're
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: standing in front of them. So now you have like
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: seven or eight incredibly sharp, magical unicorn horns just rocketing
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: towards you at unimaginable speed.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: As soon as you said they were exploding behind me,
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: I was actually hoping for that. Yeah, that spear lunch
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: a couple time seven, So that's great. A couple of them.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Still have heads attached, so they got something.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: So my target is competition winner Doug Smith. And I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: think that kind of triggers some insecurity in Reginald Jeeves
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of like his position in society, of like helping, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: he feels threatened by another member of the lower classes
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: being here. So he's gonna under a special closh serve
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: some unbeknownst to Doug, some spoiled meats, some very toxic
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: unicorn flesh.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: So we got a belly full of poisons.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, my target is are our dear Reginald Jeeves him
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: serving Doug Smith this meet. He's heard an explosion, thinking,
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, this is a queue for one of
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: the other elements of this ceremony, and he thinks he's late,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: and so he, being of advanced age, is rushing to
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: his spot and just like trips on a tiny bit
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: of blood and this very old man is about to fall.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: That's one of the best like low key.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, fall at my age.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's very perilous.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Dangerous, that's great. Okay, so we're all in peril. Next,
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: you will use one of your abilities to try to
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: explain how you are trying to survive. When you know
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: which one it is, put it face down from it
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: and again. At any point you can grab a wild
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: card if you're not.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Happy with your do I place it under my name
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: the card? Or do I place it under the attack
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: the targeted attack?
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Under the attack like that? Yep, yeah, I know. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: have to figure out they're just.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Unicorn horn rockets. You should be fine.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Like you're tripped.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: Serious. Oh man, I feel like Audrey and I an
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: like a similar comedic way. Of length there.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Heck, yes, I'm honored.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: All right, I'll go first again. Now that we're already
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: I am about to be impaled by some explosion launched
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: unicorn horns and heads. Luckily, though, I have the power
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: of cosmic binding, I can permanently bind anything to anything
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: if those things are not already touching there immediately and
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: irresistibly drawn together. So as I hear an explosion behind
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: me and I see the unicorns just blasting into pieces,
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: I'm like, no, the show must go on, and I
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: use cosmic binding to try to cosmically glue the pieces
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: of the unicorns back into their original bodies. So as
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: all the pieces are blowing outwards, suddenly they snap back in,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: but definitely not in the right order or in like
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: a functional way.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Disgusting meat statue. All right, So as you know I've
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I've got, you know I've I've been eaten some unicorn.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty stoked, excited to move on to the next course.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I start to feel something rumbling inside me. It feels
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: real horrible. I feel like I'm about to barf. I'm
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: in front of all of these important people. I cannot
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: let that happen. So I'm gonna use my nanobots. My
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: body is full of microscopic robots program to form a
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: single complex task, and I will order them to digest
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: this obnoxious barf so that I do not have to
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'll tell them to you, it has to get
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: out of my body. So I'm gonna have them excrete
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: it as sweat, and so I'll just start dripping disgusting,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: smelling sweat and in the hopes that nobody notices that
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I was about to.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Barf, I'm glad you didn't go the other direction. With
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: that direct.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I think I've just poisoned someone. And then I hear
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: an explosion and think, oh, it's it's my time to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: perform the next part of the performance. And as I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: turn and trip and it all happens in complete slow motion,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: time stands still.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: We've look.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I hate to bring it up, but we've all seen
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: an old person's techer tumble. There's sudden panic fills the room.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It's a it's a difficult situation. But just as I'm
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: sort of a foot away from absolutely crashing out on
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the floor, I use my summons swarm, and I summon
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand tiny little flies that fly right beneath
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: my old body and support my weight, which surely at
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: this advent stage can't be more than a hundred pounds,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and they float me to safety.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I'm taking a bite of my delicious unicorn sandwich, a
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: delicacy that they serve only here, and it starts to
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: explode out the side. But fortunately I'm a stylish lady
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: and so olga better chomp. Of course, is never seen
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: without more than three flamboyant scarves. And she is going
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: to use textile manipulation. Textile manipulation, I can control and
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: reshape fibers, textiles, fabrics, and cloths in order to capture
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: the fire and kind of put a blanket over the
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: fire so that she doesn't burn to death.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Making scarves a very good.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: She's a fancy lady.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: It sounds like three scarves, so fascy. All right, So
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: we're in preparation for voting. We're going to do a
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: quick recap, on quick one sentence recap of how we
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: are trying to survive in an effort to make a
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: case for ourselves. I was on stage or master ceremony,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: about to be impaled by a ton of unicorn horns
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: and heads. Luckily, though, as they exploded apart, I was
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: quickly able to cosmically bind them back into something that's
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: not going to pail me.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: At least, I was fed rancid meat and turned my
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: vomit to sweat. Boy. Reading that back, it doesn't sound
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: as effective as I thought it might have.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I think it sounds very scientific. I was.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I was taking a bad fall as an elderly person,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and I summoned one hundred thousand tiny flies to catch
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: me and protect me from a bat fall.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: And my food was about to explode, and I used
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: textile manipulation to have my scarves smother the flames.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: So, when you know who you'd vote for, pick up
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: a token and we're just gonna hold it out in
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: the air for a bit until we have a foreshadowing,
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: and then I'm gonna call three two one, and we're
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: gonna we're gonna drop them at the same time once. Okay,
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: all right, three two one, drop them. So so buy
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: a close margin. Uh Odra, how did some part of
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: your plan go awry leading you to be hobbled or injured?
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: In going to there?
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't remember that the fabrics that I had chosen
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: for these particular scarves are absolutely not flame resistant anyway,
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: shape or form, And so when I go to attempt
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: to smother the flames, they catch fire even worse, maiming
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: my face. It is absolutely burnt to shit.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: But you're alive.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: But I'm alive. Do I want to be.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: As long as your taste buds are into it? All right?
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: So these points will kind of be stored until the
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: end of the game, and that's going to determine who
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: the final winner is. Targets have shifted. Does everybody remember
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: what their new target was doing? Yep? All right, so
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: flip it. Flip your target when you know how you
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: would put them in here every round? Me first shifts over,
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: so Ben, you start this one, all right?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: So uh, I'll go better chomp with her. Her face
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: maimed goes to scream as as anyone is wont to
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: do when their face cat which is on fire and
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: takes a deep breath of noxious burned polyester fumes, you know,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: just a lung full of awful plastic smoke and starts choking.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So is it so Blunderbuss?
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Is it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: So Blunderbuss had just successfully absorbed like morphed, like these
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: these unicorn horns.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: So I used cosmic binding to suck them back kind
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: of their center to their center points. So wherever they
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: exploded from they had oh, they'd return pushed back together.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, Well just the sheer confusion over witnessing this,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: this scientific reaction happened for the first time. You you
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: startle backwards into the cuttlery, the silverware cart, which is
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: for some reason pointing all knives up.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Last you're the sharkfist of knives to cut unicornain.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Flesh, Doug Smith. The nanobots have had to work so
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: hard in order to process this rancid flesh. They begin
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: to cook him from the inside out. He's sweating so
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: much to try to lower that body temperature. This is
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: he might he might get cooked. He might be boiled
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: in his own sweat, all.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Right, And mister Jeeves, Reginald Jeeves luckily saved by his
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: blanket of flies, which are quite prominent given all the
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: rotting unicorn around, as they swooped in to save you,
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: carrying you away on a blanket. They are flies and
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: they are very much still on a mission to get
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: all them nummy nummy rotted meat bits. So you're immediately
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: whisked away over to the spare parts unicorn debris pile,
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: which is also occupied by Again. This is this is
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: very one percent ritzy, no holds barred. With enough money,
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: anything can happen. So, of course, seeing a Jurassic Park,
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: their immediate instinct is to recreate dinosaurs and a t
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: rex themselves, because who doesn't want a pet dinosaur? What
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: could go wrong there? So the dinosaur previously chomping on
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: the unicorn and spare parts pile sees a nice, a live,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: delicious treat brought right in front of his food dish,
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: so of course this must be for Tina's consumption. Tina, Tina,
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Oh no, and yeah, so she's about to.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Bite you major peril.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Does everybody feel adequately threatened?
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: So picking ability? All right? Ben?
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: All right, So feeling incredibly hot, I'm sweating, not sure
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: what to do. I look around and I notice the
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: mythical and extinct creatures back to life. I look over
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and I spy a large tank of water, occupied probably
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: by like a megalodon or something awful, but it looks
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: nice and cool. So I'm gonna use my unstoppable ability
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: where everything breaks or is knocked aside as I effortlessly
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: go wherever I want, and I run directly through the
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: glass wall into that cool, cool water to put myself off.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Nice. Okay, Well, I found.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Myself in this bowl feeding bowl for a t rex
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that has the very cute name of Tina, and to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: evade being consumed by Tina, I would like to use
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: my alchemist ability and drink Rex be gone, because I
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: am a master maker of alchemical cocktails and have a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: potion that is perfect for this occasion, and I would
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: like to drink that down. And it makes me repulsive
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: to t rexes and also pterodactyls, but they don't advertise
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that on.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: I am inhaling these fumes from this burning plastic, but
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: it's okay. My lungs and everything kind of below like
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: my collarbone. The reason I wear all these scarves is
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: because I'm actually pick a tar where my body is
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: half human and half something else. There is a distinct
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: line which my body changes from human to my other half,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: and my bottom half is actually fully cockroach, and so
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: I these fumes when they go into my lungs, this
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: is nothing, This is totally fine. I'm going to like
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: breathe them in Olga breeds them in deeply, and it's like, oh,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: but she has to maintain the illusion that she is
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: not part cockroach. So she is going to scuttle under
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: a neighboring table.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: Beautiful, taking what some might consider a more dangerous fall,
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: onto an entire tray and an entire cart full of
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: sharpened the finest knives, all pointed upwards. Luckily, though, I
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: happen to be carrying, among many other armaments, my opposite
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: ray gun. So as I'm falling, I see the sharp
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: gleam of the of the daggers pointing upwards me and
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: I can shoot a beam at something to change into
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: its exact opposite. I had quick draw my opposite ray
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: and I fired at the thing to turn everything sharp
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: to dull, maybe even soft and pleasant. It's still pointy,
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: but that's that's that's a different problem, all right. So
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: we'll do a quick recap before the vote, starting with that.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Sorry me, So I got incredibly hot into I had
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to bash through the wall of some dangerous animals enclosure
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: and take a cooling swim.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Reginald's Jeeves found himself in the foot bawl of a
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: t rex and then drank a rex begone, a t
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: rex repulsing remedy ol go.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Better chomp, breathing in toxic plastic fumes that are burning,
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: utilized her cockroach lungs and rest of body. To just
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: have that be fine. They can survive anything.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Sir Blunderbuss, master of arms, facing his worst fear knives
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: in a gunfight, pulls his opposite ray to change the
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: incredibly sharp knives to incredibly dull knives. When you know
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: who you'd vote for, pick up a token and you
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: can't vote for yourself if that question, yeah, have some faith.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: I put my token back because I was like.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: What, Oftentimes this is not an easy choice. Everybody can
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: have spectacular reasons for surviving, but all right, three two one,
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: drop them? All right, that's what I expected. So as
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: I'm falling towards the incredibly sharpened knives that have turned
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: luckily incredibly dull, they still have a very pointy end
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: and I land chest first across the cart, distributing my
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: weight like a bed of nails, so I'm not immediately killed. However,
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: I do roll off sideways and hit the ground with
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: a woof, and there's a lot of knives just still
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: step to me like a fin cushion at least an
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: inch in ouch. But then to help up go on.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Always a professional and professional the entertainer.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: All right, so we'll shift targets. All right, let's see
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: new round, Matt, you're at first.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So Olga Beta Chump just scuttled under the table.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing. This is a place of great
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: influence that we're at right now, like the the one
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: percent of the one percent. Everyone has huge followings on
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: social media. Tens of people capture this on video of
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a cockroach body with the seemingly the top half of
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Olga Beta Chump, famed restaurant critic scuttling under the table.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Everyone takes it, immediately, puts it up on social media.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: It's the fastest thing to go viral. Ever, they're already
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: within an instant doing like YouTube TikTok parodies of Olga
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Betta Chump. The per if this is allowed, the peril
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: she is in is her digital reputation is a complete.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we've we've had somebody imperiled by not getting enough attention.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: They made themselves into a character who was like so
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: desperate to get to be the focus of everything. So
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: the removal of that was their pedal.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Sir Blunderbuss, he has knives now sticking out of him,
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: incredibly relieved. That went bad, but it could have gone worse,
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: probably um And so he leans on, places his hand
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: on the on the spare explosion switch to just be like,
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: if the first explosions didn't work, he as the master
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: of ceremonies, had access to the additional switch if we
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: needed the backup explosions. So he is in the firing
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: line for those additional explosions.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: So, Ben, you charged through this giant tank of refreshingly
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: cool water which you first thought was potentially full of
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: a megalodon. But that's that's preposterous. That's how would they
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: be able to afford to feed the thing. So what
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: they did was shrink them. It's a it's a school
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: of tiny parenthicized megalodons.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Excellent.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: And as as the water pours around you, the school
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: is also beginning to pour around you, but trying to
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: like chomp you like a swarm as it flows past.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Is it a Reginald Jeeves? So Reginald Jeeves you you
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: you takes the take this t rex repelling potion, you
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: know to keep it to keep its appetite at bay.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: But it's not quite what you thought. Uh. It does
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: reduce its uh you know, it's hunger and it's physical appetite,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: but unfortunately it seems to increase its sexual appetite. Oh no,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: and like it gives you a good sniff and then
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: just tries to go into for the mount. So you've
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: got a perilous heading your way.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: Oh god, I think you might have drank the wrong potion.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like it.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: You just nagged this red.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I actually came on to it, all right.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: So when you know how you would survive, go ahead
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: and put your ability card down? And what is the
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: wild cards? Yeah?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Is it that?
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Yep?
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: That guy.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: What I like to do is play it blind, but
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: you can pull it into your hand first just to
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: read it and prepare and then put it back down.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna play it blind.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Yes, it's a lot of fun.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna go for it.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: And you you normally have to discard one of your cards,
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: but its round, so there's not there's no practical difference.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: Did it? Was it just one person that went with
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: the blind draw? Or did too?
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't go with the blind taral just I think,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: just me, you know what, gasp for ratings.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: How do you survive?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I've got an amorous t rex on my hands, coming
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: up my rear.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I've not felt like this in many years.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: But realize Reginald realizes the as much as he might
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: be into the idea at this advanced age, you know,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I have a nice thrill before he kicks the bucket.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: There are some very sort of imminent physical consequences to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: be mounted by a t rex. I don't think I
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: should survive that, so I should try to and I
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: will do that by once again calling on the animal kingdom.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: This time I would like to summon an entire colony.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: And I would like to summon an entire hmm, it
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: says no larger than a rabbit. A beaver's about the
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: size of a rabbit. I want to okay, I want
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to summon a colony of beavers to some of them
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: to carry me away like sweep sweep me away. It's
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: a very specific reference, but like in Wallace and Grommit,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: when Wallace gets carried away by all the sheep, that's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the that's the imagery. While about five four to five
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: thousand of the beavers kind of use their tails to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: slap the amorous t rex into some kind of social submission.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, it's a trick.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: I see why you went with beavers.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Now, beavers are thematically appropriate for this, I guess.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: I think so. So it's a rude sounding animal.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: So you went from smothered by beaver to smothered smothered
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: by beavers.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's what's happened here.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Okay, good trade. So I don't know what this card is.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: I have not looked at it. Let's find out my character. Okay,
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: I'll go better, chump. I can't remember what happened to
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: I'll get better. Oh Internet, professional ruin, Ye, professional ruin.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Losing followers by the thousands, Michelin immediately because there was
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: during the review a giant cockroach there.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: I can summon up to ten allied creatures no larger
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: than a horse to aid me. Lots of summoned creatures
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: within a zoo. This absolutely makes sense. So olga better chomp.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Facing potential ruin is just going to summon ten leopards
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: and they're just gonna come, and they're just gonna Honestly,
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: she's gonna own this now, and she's like, they're gonna
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: put on the best show if everybody's filming, and my roote,
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: like my career as a food critic is over. We're
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: starting me and these leopards. This is a Leopard dance company.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: I'm already dressed with all of my scarves. I already
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: look like a dance instructor. This is my new career.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: We're starting afresh. We're starting with a bang.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: It's a.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: It's a yes.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: That's that's how the wealthy stay wealthy. They know how pivot. Yes, I,
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: in relief and probably a little bit of blood loss,
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: accidentally lean down on the launch more fireworks button and unfortunately,
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: directly in front of the barrels all the launching points
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: of the fireworks. Luckily, though I have super flights, I
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: can defy gravity and move through space at will. This
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: does not make me impervious to collisions. However, so as
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: I see the button and immediately hear a fuse lighting,
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: I try to fly faster than fireworks away with like
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: with like the wind, like plastering my.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Face, Yes, dripping blood behind you, Yeah, the knives wiggling
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: in the breeze.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: Definitely not dislodged in anyway. She's just kind of like
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: vibrating turbulence. Those are those are actually aerodynamic fan blades
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: taking advantage of the help breaking the wind resistance exactly
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: with my dull.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: With the handles of the dull knife.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is all falling apart.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: I started a Leopard dance company. I don't think you.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: I think that has so much pizzazz to it.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I buy the rebrand.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: You might, you might get more followers.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: Uh huh, all right, that's the hope.
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: So uh with facing a swarm of microlodons coming after me, Yes,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: seeing this, I'm going to use my be fuddle ability
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: where I can perform baffling actions to create confusion and disarray.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to act as if I were a
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: carrot that they would not be interested in. I will
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: begin to make all the appropriate carrot like motions which.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Tell us what they are.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna uh.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: Need some visualizations.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: They're pretty still and make carrot noises.
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: Ye, and what does a carrot sound like?
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Crunch? Crotch?
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: You do it?
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: They like squish or slurp?
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: The dog says wolf, wolf cat says me out carrot
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: says chump.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: Chopped sounds good, wonderful, quick ruin sentence recap before the vote.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, I was faced with an amorous t rex which
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I uh summoned a colony of beavers, half of whom
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: carried me away, half of whom acted as a sex
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: barrier of some kind.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: Again a dental damn.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, there's no improving on that. That's exactly what happened.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: And Yeah, after hearing all of yours, my scenario now
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: sounds like the most normal.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: Just keep getting rescued by blankets of living it.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's at least consistent.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Knew he was a druid butler.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: And I faced with like career ruin, I've pivoted using
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: a pack of did I say, jaguars, panthers, leopards, leopards,
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: charismatic megafauna in order to create a dance company that
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: I'm launching hard, launch at this terrolous, perilous warming this Yeah, five, six, seven, eight,
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: Uh as.
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: I'm I'm as. I'm about to be shot with a
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: buttload of spare fire works, the encore lunch. I burst
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: away with knife, vibrating, cheek plaster jiggling speed. All right,
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: when you know who you vote for.
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: Did Ben summarize.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Ben was a carrot fresh in my mind?
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Yeahs don't talk. So I was just in character with
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: a pack of carnivores. I uh, pretend to be a vegetable.
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: It's also good, dang it all right, do one drop?
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: I couldn't vote for myself, and so.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: No, I thought everybody had really great great.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: It only takes one of those megal microdons to be
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: a vegetarian and your whole it's cut.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: And that's precisely what happens is you know one of them,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: you know, en route to bite me. It was like, wait,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: carrot and like accidentally grazes me with its teeth. Blood
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: comes pouring out. Carrots, don't these The ruse is up
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: and I am torn to shreds by hungary microlodons.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: Here is what happens next, Matt, You and I are
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: tied for winners, so we both get to in parts
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: describe how the overall story ends. However, before we do that,
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: those with more votes from most down to least have
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: to describe how their character still inevitably faces an end.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: I think Ben, you may have covered that.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there, I wasn't getting out of this live
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I'm water flows through, there's flopping megalodons, there's little bits
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: of me all over the place, co mingled with you know,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: unicor or in flesh and uh, you know, slides directly
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: into Olga's dance performance. Probably mm hmm, horrible title.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Of awfulness.
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: I do not accept excuses for any mistakes within our
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: dance performance. If they're slipping on blood, get your act together.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: And as is typical for a dance troop coup, they
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: do murder and eat me in order to install a
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: new leader of the dance troupe.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: And dance troops don't fuck around, no, they do not.
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: You had such a bright new future ahead of you.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, on the side, on the bright side, your visceration
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: super viral.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Oh that's the legacy I hoped for most views as
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: a postne it has worked. Like nobody's thinking about your
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: failed restaurant critics career any more. It's all about the
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: lepid eating.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: And they're dance troop. They're going great. Yeah, they have
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: a great career.
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: I was trying to work killing it into a pun myself,
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: all right, and uh, Matt, you go ahead first.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Jeeves survives this right, that's the Yeah,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: if that's what you choose, Yeah, yeah. I think Jeeves,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: having become a master of animals throughout throughout this process,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: has finally learned everything he can from this zoo based environment.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: So as the beavers sort of carry carry him out
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: of the zoo, he's he's prepared for a new life
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: as a as a t rex boudoir photographer. He's he
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: awakens something in him and he's gonna explore that unto
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: safer environments.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: Perfect. I think that that works well because I was thinking,
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: given that the most viral clip ever had also broadcast
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: a lot of other really suspicious civity happening in this area,
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: I would think that the zoo buffet of extraordinary beasts
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: finally gets shut down. Like every every country across NATO,
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: the United Nations, they all declare this to be like
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: some kind of crime. It's not a war crime, but
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: there's there's a lot of crime happening here. And my
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: body while I flew away to escape the fireworks, I
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: kind of ran out of steam about halfway through, and
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: eventually it's at some distance I land driving the stakes,
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: the rest of the driving the knives, the rest of
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: the way into me following Ben's lead with a kind
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: of like a smear slide.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Incredible, so ridiculous, It's so much fun.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was. That was a blast.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I never thought that I would say a lot of
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: the sentences that came out from now in.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: The last hour.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: It's a good game.
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: You guys are are definitely like the exact right kind
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: of players for this game too, And I think most
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: people would discover themselves to be but super creative ideas, answers,
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: so many, so many things that I didn't expect for
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: like the witch direction things went. And yeah, I appreciate
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: you guys inviting me to play, and you were You
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: guys were a blast.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks so much for introducing us to this game.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I know quite a few people on our cast, quite
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a few people who listen to this, and then just
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: various friend groups who would absolutely eat this up.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, throughout an evening. This is a lot of
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: fun game.
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: I've got a Discord, Discord dot gg slash Imminent Peril.
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: Wellbody's welcome to cons and play. I literally host games
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: using the same interface every weekend while the kickstarter is
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: going on, and hopefully in perpetuity. I'm trying to play
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: as much as possible. So you know, you guys would
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: be welcome to come over here. I'd be I'd love
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: to play again sometime with you guys or other parts
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: of the crew that could make it. No, no pressure,
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: but I'm going to be around and anybody is welcome
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: to go join a game sometime.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: My son's planning on playing with you, I think later today.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: Thank you? Oh no kidding? Is he the is he
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: the mystery user that I couldn't identify? Probably our first
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: recorded young person of gaming?
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Oh sweet, Yeah, he's excited about it. He had so
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: much fun at Andy Con when when you guys had there,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: he sat and played. I think he played this game,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: you know, endlessly, essentially.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: Every got and he was also like super creative. He
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: was like a great player. So yeah, you don't have
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: to be like of a certain age to play this game.
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: The game adapts to whatever the players preferences are for
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: like violence or yeh, sexuality whatever, like it's it fits
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: the players. They're they're the ones that make it up
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: as you go, so blame them.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't always have to feature a whole rex.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't always have to be that it helps, but.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: It happens, and this will probably this will be airing
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: in May, so the kickstarter should be in full swing
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: when this is. When this is actually uh yeah put
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: out on the feed. So go back it. It's absolutely
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: worth it. It's a ton of fun.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Totally go go back this kickstart or right now because
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: the I'm just now envisioning the the endless amount of
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: fun across multiple evenings and I only have to back
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: something once.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: That's that's crazy.
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: The value we.
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we tried to make it like you know, this
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: isn't like Cards against Humanity. It's not like the second
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: time or third time you've played a card. It's like
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: this one again.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like every game is wildly different, even if you
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: get the same card every single game, which you shouldn't
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: because there's we're aiming for like three hundred cards.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: I'd like to think that we're going to be like
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: the first game that you break out when you have
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: like new friends over and one of the go to
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: games for getting right.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's good for like groups from like three,
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I know we played as big as like eight or nine.
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there are mechanics. We've polished it a bit so
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: that six is six is where you start five and
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: six is where you start running into memory issues like
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: what were you doing again? But you can play any
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: number of players by reducing it down to like three
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: or four hot seats. So this would be the elimination
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: version of the game where if you're if you get
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: the most votes, you're eliminated. You describe how your character
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: came to demise, but then somebody immediately sits down in
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: their place and describes who they were as a character
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: and what they've been doing amongst all this chaos, like
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: where have they've been this whole time? And they just
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: inject themselves into the game and things just keep rolling.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: That's great, And something I love about playing this is
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: as a someone who's just found improv and who really
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: likes it. Sometimes improvising can be a little intimidating, but
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: when you have a framework to do it of such
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: silliness that like I could play this with friends who
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: do improv stuff, or I could play this with people
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: who would be like, oh, I could never do improv
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: in a million years, but they could feel like they
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: could do this. They would have a great time.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: You don't realize you're doing improv but you're coming up
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: with stuff on the floor, which is exactly what it is.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Like you don't have to do like character voices and stuff,
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: but like you're you are improvising by the nature of
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, totally in a way that feels super accessible from
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: both angles. And that wasn't funny. I know this has
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: been funny the rest of the time. That wasn't funny.
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: But it's just a genuine thing.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: I like it. Oh fantastic.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, check out the kickstart a link and everything
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: will be that that you need to check out.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: And that's really cool. There's very few kickstarted like Kickstarter
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: crowdsource games that I've seen where you can legitimately just
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: go and play them and try them out during the
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: Kickstarter Like that's you know, there's a level of confidence
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: in your product that a lot of people don't have,
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: Like a lot and half the time kickstarted games like
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: they're not fully fleshed out yet either. So it's nice
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: that this is this is ready to rock and you
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: could like if you're like I think I'd like it,
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: and you can go play it and be like fuck, yeah,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: I will say an additional point towards what you said,
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: but also against well, I know that we have one
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: hundred and thirty seven cards in the deck right now,
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: but we realistically have almost two hundred. I think that
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: I've been in some kind of form of draft and
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: they just need like touched up a bit before they're
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: added to the decks. In another kind of show of confidence,
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: the Discord is going to have links to where people
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: can see all of the current components of the game,
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: and the goal is to get our community involved in
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: like pitching ideas and stuff like hey what about a
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: card like this? So throughout the kickstarter, which we're letting
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: run sixty days because it's not necessarily going to have
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: a financial impact, but we want to have as many
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: opportunities as we can to like do games and go
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: on podcasts and whatever becomes available. That's awesome, and that
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: that time as well is probably like a small period
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: of time afterwards, people will be able to jump on
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: discord and like throw throw feedback, throw comments, see all
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: of the cards that currently exist, pitch ideas.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Thanky cool, so much fun. Thank you so much, Aaron.
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: Thanks, thank you guys. This was a blast.
• 54:52

  Speaker 1: group of friends, who you play board games with, who
