Comments

Matty B

Let’s gooooo! It’s time baby!

Allyn

What is a milk tub?

Callum McAlpine

Wizard, Witch, Wild One, World and Taylor. Classic

Dani Hughes

Nothing like dying laughing at 4 in the morning!

Ervin Pepper

Oh neat Taylor is in a fireside chat, I wonder how his style of humor will work with the other four? "Why won't you debate me?!" fantastic great excellent incredible

Bub Bubbles

Taylor DOES sound handsome 😘

CandleLyghts

Shout out to Kat for being part time social media person!! Love the work you're doing!

Ngaire

I've really got to get through the children's adventures faster I'm so behind

Jacob Kerpan

This is a wild energy for 4 in the morning but let's go

Donovan Mallory

I've tried a lot of podcasts and didn't like any of them. This one is addicting. My only paid subscriptions are now Spotify, Dropout, and WWW. I might pick YouTube back up because the ads suck, but this won't lapse for a while.

Harrison Muir

No, don't really. I have blasted through them now there gooone. Savour them.

LazyCrow

This was a wonderful experience to listen, just the sincerity of joy from the people involved is stunning. I will be trying to get a wickedness game going it sounds like a blast( and a excuse to buy even more tarot decks).

Call_Me_Bep

I still can't be sure that Taylor isn't Brennan (they sound the same to my ears and I'm too lazy to interrogate this) but I'd love for a reveal in the main episodes for Taylor to be a guest

Camille Lanata

i don’t really believe in ghosts myself, but i kind of can’t believe that none of them do? (except for maybe Lou based on his hesitations😂) like idk, especially Erika, like they were giving me ghost believer vibes right up until i saw their episode of Dirty Laundry when they revealed they didn’t believe in them, and now to hear that Brennan and Abria don’t as well? I’m just wowed by them all being able to still surprise me after 2 years of being obsessed lol

Max Kehm

Question, do you plan on releasing the homebrew witch class, that you guys are using?

Andreas Wetterberg

This is awesome. "sexy voices" is pretty hard when the highpass is that crazy, though.

Jeremy P

It feels wonderfully unacceptable that you're all this talented. My only real complaint is I didn't know how much Taylor had contributed until now.

Keith robinson

Are the main episodes not showing up here, just the children's episodes and the fireside chats?

Matt Kilsby

I refuse to believe Taylor isn't just an alternative-timeline Brennan who's glitched into this one by mistake.

Call_Me_Bep

That seems to be the case which makes sense if it's all access for the mainline episodes no point to store them here too especially cause at least in app patreon has a horrible origination system

Mr_OwlBear

My first podcast

mo

“you know it be smellin crazy in my milk tub” 🥛🛀

Holten Chorley

First Patreon! Huge fans of you all!

Gysdaj

Oh this was great please don't end up trying to sell the milk 🤣.

Aidan

Taylor has *immaculate* energy 💜

Maddie

Thank you for answering my (and I'm sure many others) question about releasing the Witch class! It sounds like a ton of fun to play, and I'm so excited to hear Erika play it and eventually play it myself!

Jacob Montague

I'm so happy to hear that this is working so well for you all! What a joy to make a living doing something you enjoy so much!

Emma Margaret

I wonder if the other DND podcast folks have listened to WBN and are making it a goal to learn from this incredible sound engineering for their own shows?

Emma Margaret

Also I absolutely love Erika's feeling of being at home here 💛 I see them buzzing around and for a while I thought Vampire the Masquerade was her home, but it's sad to know she never felt that. I'm glad she had a home here 💛

Allastra

Did anyone else thing that Taylor was just Brennan speaking slightly softer before...

Mountain Beast

I mean this as complementary as possible. Taylor sounds like Brennan doing Cerrits son, but grown up.

H Flight

I have to be honest, I bought this patreon sub for Taylor. The humor, the talent. I just didn't get enough in Rude Tales and Oh These Those Stars of Space. Shout out to those pods tho!

Jacob Montague

Taylor's laugh is my favorite! XD

Joshua Morgan

Who else actually went back the 30 seconds?

Bee Ami

far from my first podcast but definitely my first patreon!

Joshua Morgan

Also who thought "Rose & Thorn" was Rosenthorn, the last name to somebody who I was about to find out what thing they did.

Mr_OwlBear

Wait if this is the fireside for episode 1 then where is episode 1 on here? I listened to all the prequel children episodes. Am I missing something?

tre blessing

In the FAQ it talks about how you can set this up to be more convenient for you but, alas, there will be two DISTINCT feeds. The free-to-the-public pods will not be here in on patreon.com.

Benjamin Millier

I am SO GLAD to hear that there will be a soundtrack, as I need to give you all all my money. Also I just NEEED Eursulon's theme to be blasted through my headphones at max volume, it's GORGEUOUS

Haisley

My brain decided that 4 am was the correct time to wake up and when I checked my phone for the time, what did I spy? A fireside? Well you *know* I won't go back to sleep before listening to it... And now I can't from the haunting answers that I have received. 😶 /positive

Sarah Bennett

Y'all are number 1 fiction podcast on Spotify as well. Congratulations and thank you ♡

becs

first patreon girly

Ely

Delighted to be here with all my fellow members of the Created-a-Patreon-Account-Specifically-for-These-100-Jellyfish Club

Ben Warzeski

I truly feel like Brennan and Aabria truly do not understand what they are within our space…

Elena Georgievski

Omg can’t wait for the future soundtrack, the music has been stuck in my head since the first before and after !!

Ely

They do! But they don't have a specific timeline yet. Just "soon."

Chase Davis

This Pod has already ruined my sleep schedule and it’s been one episode

Kelly McKew

Such a great call out to Wickedness, I helped kickstart that! So excited to see this space grow

Kunnaya Wimooktanon

I booed (in good fun) when they started cheering for the MLA referencing system and I don’t know what that says about me. #APAGang

Oscar Ives-Owen

As someone who spent a significant portion of my life and stupid amounts of money getting a Masters in Music Composition, when Taylor said "that was my first time writing original music" a tear with my entire soul in left my eye and please help cause I can't find it.

Dean West

wait, why wasnt episode one released on patreon?

Crits

Regular episodes are released on the main feed instead. Only patreon exclusive stuff here

Mary H.

Welcome home Erika!!!🥰

Thimo Trommer

The main episodes release everywhere else, the patron feed is only bonus stuff! I had to get told that, too xd

Katie P.

Vibing in Chicago, not out of preference but out of necessity

Katie Hopkins

At 47:15ish Aabria says Suvi's favorite color is red but I thought in the children's adventure she says it's lilac? Like her boots? Someone tell me I'm not crazy 😅🙈

Annie

I’m so happy for you guys . Thank you wonderful beings for making art that we can consume and enjoy .

Jennifer Bussey

I am not usually a fan of behind the scenes podcast episodes. HOWEVER, this particular friend group is beyond entertaining and insightful and makes me cry EVERY TIME! I will never be able to fully express what this show and this group means to me. Thank you so much :)

Sam (Mantabel)

AABRIA IS QUEEN! All hail her!

Gearoid Cotter

Are roses and thorns an American expression? Up until now, I’ve only heard it on Naddpod

Emily Stetson

Fun fact! The “Big Apple” has more to do with jazz and horse racing in NY than actual apples (though NYS does produce a lot of apples).

Richard Bennett

MLA? REALLY? You vile pedantic cretins.

Michael Johnson

I love these types of conversations to just hear them chat enthusiastically about their works, but also to ground them as people just passionate about their storytelling. Yes they are celebrities in their own rights, actual titans of the ttrpg space, but still just people who love what they do. Listening to the genuine appreciation coming from the group just makes them even more endearing. Also, from a film/tv production person, love hearing the shoutouts to your crew. It’s always nice to hear appreciation for the people that make the thing happen, so thank you for being cool people in that way!

Sam (Mantabel)

Taylor is just the Southern brand version of Brennan. I’m calling it.

Byshera Williams

I can’t wait for the soundtrack!!! Please give us physically options (vinyl/cd) too 💕

Mythical Kreegs

I thought so too because Ame makes her friendship bracelet lilac and Ursulon's green.

Neil Munro

Only the Fireside/non-public stuff is on Patreon. Fireside is what youre paying for on here. (The Childrens campaign is worth it just on its own, its amazing)

Borangehat

Yeah smartie pants? And what do they feed the horses and jazz musicians?

Jen Johnson

❤️❤️ We love guys ❤️❤️

Dariel

Taylor, all I’m asking for is 250 characters! Hahaha!

Ashley P

She says in Suvi's first episode that the cloak she's wearing is "probably red because that's her favorite color" (it's like 25 minutes into the wizard then & now iirc). But also you're not crazy 😂

Katie Meyer

Fell asleep early last night and just woke up. Laughing is hurting. Not really a complaint though :)

Mandii Kennedy

Taylor is absolutely the perfect venn diagram cross of Brennan and Charlie Kelly.

Katie Meyer

It's what pours out of the heart that has the most meaning. I took a music comp course and decided 'nope,' stuck to my general music BA. Keep it coming, Taylor.

Hyodorio

Super excited to check the team's take on the Witch Class!

Bria A.

I clocked that too, but I chose to think of it as a deliberate transition. 😂 Red –> lilac by the end of the summer –> adult Suvi basically monochrome in blue.

Crits

As a journalist and a Chicago resident, your use of MLA alienates me deeply

Bria A.

This is not a comparison because Taylor is fantastic in his own right, but hoo boy do I have to zero in on the drawl because his and Brennan’s tones are ridiculously similar when they’re just talking normally in lower register. It’s very easy to distinguish them when they get excited about things, thank goodness. Also, the mention of dancing around spoilers for future episodes makes me cry, what do you mean I have to wait every other week for several months to understand these references 😭

Ravyn Mitts

I love the chaos 😂 ❤️ 👏🏼

Katie Meyer

I hope you have/make the time to ensure you're not multi-tasking/task switching to fit this in, and actually fully focused/invested to the listening. There's so much going on with what Taylor's magic does to accompany the story-telling that I hope you can focus enjoy on the first listening.

Katie Meyer

I hope before it is released we really do learn more of it during the storytelling, so we learn in the story what she's capable of, first.

M Smith

40:57, I'm imagining Taylor with thousands of hours of pre-recorded Aabria pretend crying and Erika pretend screaming.

Sam (Mantabel)

Truly meant no offense. My brain picked up on how similar your voices. So sorry.

Matthew Rowe

Absolutely loved this Fireside chat. But team... after that thinker/stinker wombo combo please do get in touch if you need a biology consult on your journey :P

Tony C

Everything about this entire thing has been perfect. Special shout-out for the fantastic music and sound effects. Only thing is I can’t wait for the next episode!

Neil Munro

You: I studied, bled, cried, barely slept, got into debt and I finally got my Masters Taylor: I took a crack at it and figured it out on the fly in like a week You: ...

Allison Bransford

Taylor: character limit is 150 Brennan: what is a character limit?

Joshua Vern

The milk can't be spoiled while it's in the cow because the cow is its mom and she gives the milk a healthy amount of discipline

James Fitzsimons

Will this contain spoilers for episode 1 before I listen to it?

Jaye McInnes (atJayewas)

Ugh I definitely am rushing on wanting to know the pantheon but I appreciate entertaining the question. Between witchcraft, wizardry, and fae divinity I'm incredibly hooked on the ecosystem of magic y'all are entertaining. Also, yes, I want to know the hottest spirit.

Pim

I heard that milk does spoil in cows and things get infected and it's nasty? But that's not a good image so let's just assume it's infinite.

Hattie Thomson

its a talk back for the ep so yes it most probably will but either way better safe than sorry

Brandon Carbaugh

Indirectly called out for my comment about the character limit on the questions T_T

James Fitzsimons

Thanks for your help. I just realised there are 2 podcast feeds to listen to which is annoying

Adri Void

Not many, but it does assume you listened to episode 1 and honestly more the Prelude

Adri Void

This is certainly not my first Podcast, but I did make a Patreon for you guys. Loving the world so far, the energy thats being created is so strong, and I already know Lou’s character is made for my interest and the mix of inspo for Spirit World seems so cool. Also! Ive always liked playing Custom Witch classes, bc thats the kind of gal I am, and very excited for how you’ve described this one to go. When I do DM, I like to think about the social rules of society- never thought of it as the ‘lie’ but that really hits me.

Brian Tatosky

This is everything I wanted it to be

James D'Aloisio

Taylor is new to composition but intuitively grabbed a motif from "the ants go marching" for episode 1's imperial march is the craziest, most awesome, "this guy is making art" flex I've ever heard of

A. James Dillon

"to be a sad boi is to be comforted, is to be loved" LOU WILSON HOW DARE??? (phenomenal)

Tobi Stein

Yesss there were all these little motifs audible in the score and now I want to go back and listen for more of them!

Lucas

Taylor’s voice is so close to Brennan’s I cannot tell them apart

Tobi Stein

If they kept main campaign episodes in the private fireside feed, then pod catchers like Apple Podcasts wouldn’t be able to use data from patreon subscribers to tell if Worlds Beyond Number is popular. Using 2 feeds makes immense sense. It wouldn’t be the top fiction podcast on Apple if they hadn’t made this move, because we’d all be listening to Fireside (which you can’t find through the app without the RSS link) instead of WBN (which is searchable in the app).

Tobi Stein

I genuinely thought that Brennan was the one doing the outros for the first couple episodes.

Cait Batchelor

From a mom - milk can totally spoil in the milk producing mammal, it’s called mastitis and is a mother fucker.

Cait Batchelor

(No it’s not exactly spoiling, but that stuffs not supposed to stay in there permanently- I worry about the concepts of biology and anatomy happening here. But also gentics and breeding are special interests so I know *entirely too much*

Adrianna Champagne

Why did episode 1 not also drop in the Patreon feed? I am only subscribed to the custom RSS feed for the Patreon

Agiddysea

May we all be able to live deep and well from our passions.

Leah Stigale

Yo, you release that Witch class and I'll make it in a pretty pdf form. I love listening to how excited Taylor is talking about the music he put together.

FusRohNahSon

I recommend Rude Tales of Magic which taylor also.produced and brennan guest starred in

Erin Sullivan

I also want to work marry Taylor now

Maggie

So what media did Brennan and Taylor both enjoy as children that led to them developing absolutely identical vocal mannerisms

Nikki

oh my god exactly haha, came to the comments just for this

Chris Givler

"If you're complaining about character limits, you're the reason we have character limits." Perfect. No notes.

Jeff Dubner

There are at least TEN episodes that are ready but haven’t been released yet? How dare you? I say, how dare you?

AKRhodes

Goddammit I had tears in my eyes for the last hr...

Katrina Focht

"You know it be smelling crazy in my milk tub" is the best thing I've heard all day

Alexander Albritton

Yay im glad they will have guest PCs! I hope Emily Axford is one, her and Lou are pure chaos

Sam

This was one of the most articulate and meaningful expressions of gratitude I've ever heard from a group of entertainers to their audience. The sincerity and respect for this project is clearly understood and absolutely appreciated. Looking forward for all to come. Congrats on an inspiring and well-earned success!

Edward Terry-Smith

You guys broke my Patreon cherry. I saw lineup and immediately made room on my cluttered ass mobile.

Victoria Mosley

It's my 1st podcast and patron. I'm in love. Thanks!!

William Corley

I love Taylor from Rude Tales. I also didn't know Casey Tony was involved! No wonder this show rules.

Kasey

So Taylor's voice is just a higher pitched Brennan. Got it.

Kasey

Let's put that to the test. 1v1 Jeopardy match on Demon level difficulty.

Rebecca McLaughlin

It’s only smelling crazy in the milk tub because the milk isn’t hot enough. Gotta get that milk to internal cow temperature.

Will M.

gotta love a "PENIS!" to peak the mic

Tony C

I’m excited there will be guest players, but I do love the focus each main character gets with the smaller group the way it is now.

Corey Nichols

I am confused do the fireside chats come before the episode drops?

Nick Sifuentes

Excellent premiere gang! Looking forward to all the stories in all the worlds beyond all the numbers.

Gabby Conley-Lopez

I believe that main campaign episodes are going to be dropping every other week, so episode 2 should be coming out next Tuesday. So for Patrons we’ll get weekly episodes with main campaign in the main feed one week, then the Fireside Chat for the previous weeks main campaign episode in the Patreon feed that following week and continuing in that pattern.

Gabby Conley-Lopez

Unless you meant episode 1 of the campaign, they have a separate feed for the main campaign. The Patreon feed will only include Fireside Chats, so you’ll need to search for the regular Worlds Beyond Number feed on your Podcast app of choice to get the main campaign episodes!

Schwa

Brennan: "Fundamentally, I think the idea of making sure that your time and attention is well cared for . . .." Gang, I feel so well cared for that I stop doing everything else that I'm doing to listen to this story. Every other podcast I listen to while cleaning, cooking, driving, or whatever.

Jacob Steele

How could one enterprising nerd with free time possibly help with the whole "one part time employee" deal?

AliceH

I also kinda wondered if it was a callback to her connection to Ame because Ame declares that it's "a lilac day" the day that Suvi arrives.... and the n later that summer it's Suvi's fav color (ie no longer red)?

Gray Almeida

How is Aabria allowed to say shit like "What is the lie this world believes?" and just get away with it??? Incredible!

Brandon Carbaugh

When he was like "I need every question to have a parenthetical with an e.g." I was like...ah, yes, no wonder I like this guy's work so much.

Temperance

Thank you for being patient with those of us who are brand new to Patreon and don’t listen to podcasts often!

Temperance

I have a hard time writing short questions but I did edit mine to fit in the character limit! 200 characters would have been ✨chefs kiss✨ But I hear ya, I know I’m the problem! 😅

R. Wesley Nipper

May you all find your hundred jellyfish

Elijah Braddy

This is both my first podcast, and my first patreon! Love you guys and everything ive ever seen you do!

AKRhodes

The very second they drop that witch class I am jumping on it! I literally have a character that would fit this perfectly!!

Podge

That's what I'm saying lol. Let me give free social media help so I can put it on my resume and maybe someday escape povertyyyyy

Lea Moran

Y'all are hilarious. Completely hooked for LIFE!! 😍🤯🔥

Charlie P

Taylor’s laugh is my new favorite thing!

Matthew B

Episode 1: Amazing, charming, and beautiful! Episode 1 after hearing the Childrens' Adventure: Amazing, charming, beautiful, and DEVASTATING! People who haven't gotten to experience that are missing out on SO MUCH!

Nocturne

I refuse to believe Taylor isn’t just Brennan doing a voice

RNietzsche

It's interesting how much their concept of witches as a class converged with some of the existing Witch classes I've played.

macksalot

im so glad i saved this for today needed this fun lil treat

macksalot

i forgot abt the milk tub and then brennan said curds.... i am... upset lol

Genevieve

I have now gone back to listen to brennan tip towards the mic.

helen saulsgiver

This is the first time I have done a Patreon , I love watching the dnd on dimension 20 , figured this would be just as amazing, especially with Brennan being able to do so many different voices, love it!!

Miranda Grace

ghosts are only real when it's funny. if it's not funny, then they aren't real.

Wverms

The Fantastic Mr. Fox "you cussin at me?" scene is now playing on repeat in my head.

Wverms

I was pretty confident Aabria was going to say her thorn was Taylor saying her name earlier in the episode, lmao. Maybe my brain is too bit-oriented.

kaila bb

oh, you all are just so wholesome. love spending money every month to hangout with you guys!

Baba Yetu

I honestly thought it was weird that Brennan kept talking to himself and laughing at his own jokes so hard

Ben Mercer

absolutely loving this show

Melodie

Almost did my own spit take a few times. Oh god. Too funny.

Kenna L

That thinker question was like asking why doesn’t beef go bad when it’s still cow.

The Vöid

Hello, one and all! I am so grateful that I got into Dimension 20 at the end of last year. It was so wholesome, whimsical and genuinely filled with love of the story. All the dynamics playing off each other, the deep understanding subverted into a class act of communication. You guys are so important for the world ( beyond numbers) of storytelling. Today I had my final operation on my ankle ( 17 screws and some massive titanium plates got taken out), I can't sleep so this was such a funny and heartwarming listen. Thank you! I'm so happy for the progress of events regarding this community and the quick growth! Lots of love and hugs, from Norway! 🤎❤💙

Uncle Pennybags

I Finished the Children's campaign a few days ago and finished this yesterday. As someone who does listen to a lot of audio-podcasts and audiobooks, this blows them all out of the water. It's the absolute best audio entertainment I've ever experienced. You guys definitely have a winner here. I will be happily subscribing for you to create content as long as you are willing to do so. Congrats to all of you, and thanks!

Brooke

There is something so distinctly beautiful and meaningful about a formative story that can sustain you throughout your life. Miyazaki films and Neil Gaiman novels are a delight to return to over and over again and indescribable to experience the first time. I can already tell that this story will stay with me for years to come. I am so honored to be able to experience it now and in the future. Thank you all so so so much for drawing your jellyfish.

ParticleZon

I gotta say, I totally related to Taylor's Rose. I'm one of those "never podcasted" folks and the storytelling combined with Taylor's wizardry in that first sequence *sold* me immediately. I can only imagine what it would feel like to be someone with a talent for doing that kind of stuff putting out a great product and then seeing the reactions come in. I signed up for the four big names I already knew. Taylor was my apple. :-)

Heidi

Dear Taylor, congratulations on nailing the soundscape for Grandma Wren's death scene! I want you to know that you nailed it so well, that you made me actually run for a safe place to listen to it because the emotions I felt were so incredibly raw and potent in that moment (I settled on our gaming room with the lights out, half way under the table, and I was sobbing the entire time). Thankfully I was alone at the time and my bf could not see what a mess y'all turned me into. A thousand kudos to all of you! Brennan's narration and your unbelievable sound design have are driving me nuts <3

JaNell J. Sherley

I'm absolutely impressed by Taylor's sound with learning the composing is completely new. The sounds made me so much more immersed in the world. I have never cried and laughed as much while driving as I did when listening. (Yes I had windows down blaring the podcast in traffic before you called me out on it) Congrats on all the numbers and stats! Those are exciting even as a fan!! Absolutely the best patreon experience I have had and worth every cent.

JaNell J. Sherley

There are moments where I questioned isnthus Taylor...or a new character from Brennen 🤣😂

The Seasonal Goblin

My heart finds less and less loneliness in the world 🌎 ✨️ 💙

Mitchell Schott

When does the second episode come out?

Wes Spooner

Episodes are released on Tuesdays on alternating weeks to the Fireside Chat. So Episode 2 will be next Tuesday (March 14), the Fireside Chat for that episode will release the following Tuesday, and then episode 3 will be the Tuesday after that - and so on.

Obed Pacheco

This. So much this. I always thought it was Brendan in the outro of the Children's Adventure and the "he sounds handsome" bit was an inside joke lol

Rochelle

I’m already relistening to the children’s adventure! So so comforting and beautiful thank you for this art y’all 💕💕

Bob Grannan

FYI, https://graphtreon.com/ tracks patreon statistics if y'all want to know where you stand in terms of breaking records.

Erin Chamberlain

This podcast is genuinely one of the best storytelling experiences I've ever been the audience for. Thank you so much for this. Also, the music is UNREAL, whoever is doing your sound design deserves a round of applause

Mal Radagast

that's also *such* a childlike thing, right? your favorite color is whatever had the most recent, strongest impact on you - it's only over lots and lots of those impacts aggregating that they become a longterm trend.

Mal Radagast

i don't know if mine would work the knob broke off stuck at "SOME TOAST" is that not enough toast?

Demelza Walkden

While WBN isnt my first podcast by far, y’all are my first Patreon and my god I am so glad I made the investment! The Children’s Adventure was so emotional and beautifully crafted and I’m so glad I sank my teeth in it prior to episode 1. This show is a work of art and it is GORGEOUS.

Esther Daron

WBN isn’t my first podcast, but it’s my first patreon! And I already started supporting a couple other patreons from D&D creators I’ve followed for awhile because of y’all getting me on here!

Dr.Bees

Big Caldwell energy coming from Brennan with the visual gags on audio

MysticSquid

WBN isn't my first Patreon, but it is my first podcast. I was able to find it on Google Podcasts, but if anyone has a preferred podcast app I'd love to know your suggestions! When I found out about WBN I was overjoyed. I can't wait to see not only more of this current story, but the many more to come!

Brenton

Does anyone else think Brennan and Taylor have very similar voices and also… tempo of talking

Wesley Jones

A wizard with a craving for the unpredictable, a witch with a strategist's mind, and a wild one in search of a code. Y'all are so dang talented.

Enna Strider

Y'all the emotions in this are SO BIG. Like the privacy of the podcast and the group of y'all are just so ready to pull the emotions out of one another and feel them. That is a very special kind of magic.

Casey Stachelski

ah geez, I can't get the phrase "you know it be smelling crazy in my milkbath" out of my immediate thoughts

Harry James

The complete lack of answering the questions and just sass being thrown at the people asking the questions is hilarious 😂 I’m loving this whole experience so far and now being introduced to Taylor, damn that guy is talented! This is a dream team I swear 😂 so excited for what’s to come!

Matthew B

"What is the lie this world believes?" I need some examples beyond "dogs are tiny horses."

Lee

if you were looking for real ones i took it as things like X diety is good/saved us(but is actually Asmodeus in disguise) or Y person from long ago was a hero(but was really a power hungry mad man). Anything a culture can believe that impacts how people behave or react to things that can be subverted. Never thought of it before but i love it as a thing to go over early in world building. Im doing it right now with the winds of magic in my own setting

Vicka

Some ideas of varying degrees of impact: - A resource of importance is scarce (it's actually being hoarded, but not by those in power, by some guy who got a wish one time) - A miracle that led to a massive change in the architecture of the world was due to deity intervention (it was actually random chance and that deity they worship doesn't even exist but others do) - "There is nothing beyond the sea but the end of the world" - Ghosts are real (they're pretty much the only spooky thing that's not) - The systems of government that everyone accepts are running the show (a shadow gov exists with full control)

Strange Universe

I downloaded Spotify for the first time as a 40 year old because of this show

Michael R. Underwood

Lies for some major media story settings Middle-Earth (just before Lord of the Rings): "Sauron is defeated for good." Pacific Rim: "We can survive the kaiju if we look out just for ourselves and hide." Black Panther: "African countries are backwards and weak" The Walking Dead: "The dead are the biggest threat to our survival"

James Goss

Hi all, I really love this project and so far with the Children's Adventure it's pure storytelling and so beautiful. I just wanted to ask, could you confirm on the Patreon feed when main episodes are published? I've only just seen on the FAQ that you need to use other services for the main episodes. I've been listening directly through Patreon as the RSS feed doesn't work with Spotify, and I didn't know until now that the main adventure had started up - just gonna start listening to it in a second. Just a little separate text update to confirm when new episodes are released would be super appreciated, if possible.

Domtext

Definitely! Even their word choice and cadence seems pretty identical? Are they secretly twins? How did this happen?

worldsbeyondnumber

Hey James! Check out our FAQ for help with podcasting and understanding the release schedule. https://www.patreon.com/posts/faq-me-faq-you-78044362

James Goss

I mentioned that I had seen the FAQ which allowed me to realise the main series had been available for over a week. I just feel like a small text post with each new episode release would also help.

worldsbeyondnumber

Oh and good news, Spotify is soon going to start allowing you to add Patreon feeds! https://twitter.com/Patreon/status/1633551674500599808

Jean-Francois Lacelle

As the person who complained about the character limit for the questions, I wanted to reassure you all that my tongue was firmly pressed into my cheek when I wrote that!

Cooper McKeown

Hey! I don't think episode one is on Google podcasts?? If anyone else can see it maybe I'm doing something wrong so I'd LOVE to see some tips thrown my way 💜💜

SvenTS

'The reason we're having so much fun...' is because they're a bunch of goofs being goofs and we love them.

I haven't had a story that I connect to as much as this one. As a pagan, the witch stuff is gold. As a therian, the 'being stuck between nature and humanity' hits so hard. It's all so deep and I love every second of it. Every time listening to the stories that Brennan DMs it kinda feels like narrative therapy. It's beautiful, thank you. (and I thought Neverafter was good)

I have not yet reached milestones such as having had my first concert-going experience. However, I can say that the milestones of my first paid subscription to a media/entertainment company as well as my first Patreon subscription ever have been to Dropout and Worlds Beyond Number respectively. I am extremely proud to be a part of these communities and even more thankful to you all(fans, producers, editors, crew, and cast alike) for sharing with us your incredible work. I can't wait until the merch drops. I look forward to getting my wizard's staff, my witch's hat, and my Wild One furry sweater complete with golden pauldron.

Hey someone is stealing your content in YouTube. Look yourself up on YouTube and you will see a channel stealing content

Matthew M.

Second comment. I am now worried for Erika. Thinking back this is the second time I have seen a character of Erikas potentially put the needs, wants, and feelings of others ahead of their own. The first time of course was when they portrayed Danielle Barkstock in 'The Seven'. I'm only worried because I know that sometimes actual play players tend to add a bit of themselves to their characters. It could, however, very much be a chosen character trait, and I'm worried for nothing. Regardless, I'm sending virtual hugs to the whole cast.

Simon Mills

Is it this one? "@PREVIEWWorldsBeyondNumber" Can't report for copyright infringement, going to have to be on their end.

Night

yep! im trying to get them to notice as soon as possible

HeyPayAttn

Holy moly I didn't expect so much content in such a shit amount of time

dark_neverland

As a practicing witch, I highly enjoyed listening to the creation of this class (that does exist in other ttrpg realms but not as balanced) & how y'all mixed together the mythological, folkloric, & actual ways many of us live through/with the Unseen & Seen worlds. I also cannot believe that Taylor has never scored music in that way before. Because it's absolutely amazing and makes the experience so immersive.

dark_neverland

Thanks for giving me a new word to learn. I have always just used the colloquial form

Mijn

I just found a channel that is putting the Children's Adventure on YouTube.

OhDeerLord

I'd love to see the regular episodes published on here as well, so things are organized all in one place. Even if it's not uploaded early or anything.

Nymi

When will the next episode come out? I'm hooked! This is my most favorite TTRPG I've heard yet and I'm fully invested.

kaila bb

it’s hard to report that channel for impersonation because you need to enter the valid page; which the gang does not have. oh boy.

Lee

it is showing up for me. shows as coming out Mar 2. The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One #1: The Open Door. If you added the fireside to your subs using the RSS feed. make sure you are not looking at that one. The main episodes you have to look at the public feed

Laterbot

Finally finished the child campaign... Now I've got the welcome, preludes and first episode to get through then I'll be joining you by the fire I swear!!

Laterbot

Additionally, I was stupid enough to listen to 25% of the fireside chat before stopping to listen to episode 1 and was spoiled that one big spoiler they say 😭😭 but I acknowledge that's 100% my fault

Noah

So is like at midnight Tuesday? Or midnight Monday? I need to know

Brandon Carbaugh

Congrats, you made the first podcast that's ever made me think, "Will it drop at midnight? Should I stay up?"

Cooper McKeown

Oh okay so the episodes will get released on the public feed and not on the RSS one? Thanks heaps for your help

Justin Wolford

I work midnights and im 6hrs into my tuesday without my W³ fix lol. You guys have created something so wonderful im just jonesing for new content.

SvenTS

I hope you've started your fix now (or are getting sleep - one or the other) - it's gone up.

Uneducated & Enthused

Somehow it hurts more knowing you’ll be releasing the Witch class as a pdf at some later date when my campaign starts next week and I’m trying to make a bard be my witch build

Paul Spanagel

Right there with you – new campaign starting Thursday and one of my players is using a homebrew witch that I feel ok about, but would much rather be able to compare to this one.

Konner

I wish they would post the actual episodes here on patreon too so we have a one stop shop. Without the random fortunate horse add in the middle.

Jacob Shilling

+1. I didn't mind the ad as it was for another show that I might check out, but as soon as it's for Squarespace I'll be annoyed. Also having episodes posted to the Patreon organizes discussion/comments better. I came here to post about how dope the show is, how much I love the "barely there" game format, etc. I was so excited to see the episode in my feed this morning!

Konner

Agreed, there is nowhere for discussion to happen right now with the whole community. I wonder why they aren’t posting the episodes to the patreon, it just seems logical.

Kye Ehrlich

ok i am convinced that Taylor is just Brennan doing a nerd voice anyone else?

Beignet Gesserit

I thought it was Brennan doing an NPR host voice - a cool one, like Kai Ryssdal. Sorry, Taylor!

Lilith Evenstar

How is it called Apple Maps and not Mapple?

vvitch

I hope so, nobody I know IRL listens to the pod and having somewhere to gush and share art would be cool

Welibwe

Did I miss the part in the episode where Ame's adult appearance was described?? What does she look like now? Can anyone help?

jimmie glover

Your my man crush brennen lee mulligen

joanie

thirding this, would love a place to chat synchronously and share fan creations with fellow listeners!

Christopher Dwyer

I did the biggest spit take when Brennan did his first "sexist" voice; I'm soaked with tea and grinning like an idiot, thanks so much for this

Kaye

Yup. My first patreon. Signed up specifically for this. ☺️

mitchell branch

Yeah this is both my first podcast and Patreon

SimpleSquare

Is Episode 1 The Open Door going to be posted here on Patreon? Or only on YouTube? When is Episode 2 supposed to be released?

Tonks

Just realized I hadn’t actually listened to ep 1. My app (apple podcasts) had marked it as played. I got all of the prelude children’s adventure up to where the crew splits. Bit jarring to come into ep 2 and have the reveal at the beginning of a demise! Will we ever be simplifying this into 1 feed for patreon people? I think that or a listen order list for starting would be a great tool. With all the repostings to the main feed of stuff released earlier for Patrons it can be a bit muddling

worldsbeyondnumber

We recommend looking at the episode titles of the episode you're about to listen to, so as not to spoil any story details for yourself. Other Answers about podcasting and feeds in general await you in the FAQ on our front page! Hope that helps. -t

Tonks

Yup! I fully recognize that it was user error! Thanks

Joey Sawyers

Really wasn't a big fan of the random uhh... advertisement in Ep 2. I understand it's promoting other content from Fortunate Horse, but it was not expected and imo definitely should not have been in the legit middle of the session.

Stephen

Hope they release an ad free version of the show to patreon subscribers

Sarah Lunow

Howdy! I don't think they described Ame at all (beyond the husband thinking that she was incredibly beautiful), but this website has their official character art and has been helpful for visualizing for me! https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/WorldsBeyondNumber

Sarah Lunow

This podcast utterly and entirely has my heart and attention--the soundscaping is incredible, the characters are charming and well developed, and I've fallen absolutely in love with the characters. Easily shot up to be among my favorite storytelling podcasts. Thank you all for sharing this world with us <3

Jake Norris

When is the next episode coming out guys?

Phoebe

I ran my first DnD session with players who knew nothing about the game. Anytime I felt nervous or unsure I imagined Brennan saying how awesome it was I played my first game. We had a lot of fun, thanks for the encouragement :)

Ebony Voigt

Holy heck the beginning of this got me lightheaded from laughing so hard 😂😂

Liz Chop

I listened to this while doing sets at the gym and I do NOT recommend bc I'm shaking with laughter trying to pick weight up and put it back down!!!! 😅

Ross Minick

I’m not convinced Taylor is not just Brennan doing a voice. They sound so similar

worldsbeyondnumber

Hey there Joey! Advertisements are extremely common in podcasts, as is the practice of placing a commercial break in the body of an episode. In fact one of the largest podcast distribution and advertising companies is even called "Midroll" which is the industry term for the ad break in the middle, or 'mid,' of the episode. It's also very common, even standard I would say, for podcasts to advertise the other shows on their network or from the same production company. So you can see that far from being random, this was a completely normal event, done with care, and good reason. Since you find advertisements startling, I should let you know that you'll be hearing shoutouts to other Fortunate Shows in the future, and perhaps, further in the future, advertisements for other products and services. Stand strong, remember to breathe, and I have no doubt you'll not only survive, but thrive. -t

Joey Sawyers

Yeah that's fine, I'm not a big podcast listener. Regardless of its prevalence, still just wasn't something I personally liked. Not saying you guys need to change anything, just voicing my concerns :)

Simon Woods

1. Thank you all for making this incredible world and everything about the show. 2. How dare you. 3. That fox is going to have its own cult pretty soon.

Jonesey

Those who travel light and those who never leave home hurt with ev'ry loss This whole conversation was charming and delightful and I love the idea of a Children's Adventure Chat that is specific so y'all can speak a bit more freely about the story. Also - um "What's the lie this world believes?"???? fhuckh, ma'am.

Ian Crall

I just sobbed for 15 minutes straight during the GMA wren passing. Full goosebumps. The scoring, the interactions. The suspense. Omfg this is amazing

H. Jean Garvey

Omg, just listening to the music chat and you should try playing the game Ribbon Drive. It’s characters on a road trip, and the scenario, character creation, and the improv is totally built around custom-built music playlists. Some of the most emotionally pure RP I’ve ever played.

Leo LaCroix

Love the show, love what y'all are doing. Tiny audio request for future episodes, can the background noise and ambiance be lowered a bit? I could barely hear brennan over the music and diegetic noises (which were all fantastic) and kept having to rewind to hear what was being said about the city. Thank you so much, love the show!

Alissattack

I am finally caught up on everything. Glad to be here! Side Note: I too have been personally victimized by Avid Pro Tools.

Emma Runswick

I don't know where to ask questions for fireside chats. So, in hopes you see it: what discussion did you have about Ame's familiar in advance? Did you both agree on a fox, on personality, on accent, on anything else?

worldsbeyondnumber

Hey Emma! Great question, I just added the link in the FAQ/Instruction Manual post pinned to the front page, so you can find the question form in there, about halfway down. Thanks for asking! -t

Merritt Lane

Guuuuuys! This is just amazing! Thank you for creating this amazing story! This is my first podcast and patron and honestly it is worth it. Thank you so much.

Keira

So are episodes coming out on spotify before here? I see WWW #2 on spotify but not on here

Evilest Teapot

Yep! Main episodes are only coming out on public feeds, they cover this in the newsflash, as well as other info about the release schedule.

Keira

Thanks! I read through it but somehow misread that. Appreciate it

Andrew

This is the first patreon I've ever created, I'm torn donating money directly to rich people, but I just really support this (and others) live play dnd. The mastery shown of improv, storytelling and just the overall amazing quality just forced me to make an account. I hope this is the best way to support the movement in general. Either way I really hope you guys work hard to maintain the serious yet still fun vibe to this AAA storytelling this feels like something special here and I'm honoured to be a patron. The production quality is also just fire, amazing sound design. Hats off guys. Thanks for giving me an amazing story to listen to before i hit the hay at the end of the day. Much appreciated!

Genevra Brown

I've listened to this fireside chat multiple times, and I still can't get over how much Taylor sounds like Brennan — the patter, the rhythm of his speech, the colloquialisms, and I am living for it. I'd swear they were siblings. :D

Piping Plover

I'm sure this has been said before, but Taylor sounds so much like Brennan, I thought he was just doing a voice. Also, Taylor, if you're reading this, I love you and you are not allowed to leave this space. You are now tethered. The podcast has bonded with your soul through what we humans call "music".

Piping Plover

Lou mentioned Cascade Lake. Is that in the Orcas Islands In Washington???

Raina Saha

I just wanna give my appreciation for this series so far, it is so well crafted and voice acted. I’m brought to tears by the raw emotions and scenery y’all build in every episode so far. The world and the emotions just feels so real.

Mae Worthington

Brennan eating the mic made ME do a spit take lolol

SarahBearBaby

cool, i’m in love with taylor now

Paul Hoffmann

Are the main campaign episodes on the Patreon or do we have to go somewhere else to listen to them?

Ingrid Rossi

You can find them on the public podcast, or their YouTube channel. Just search “worlds beyond numbers” and it’ll come out. I have the feeling they need us patreons to bump up the number of listeners for the publicly available podcast at least for the first episodes.

Nori Li

AFAIK there isn't an official youtube channel and all the channels posting the podcast as videos are stealing content. The only official place to listen to the main campaign is on the public podcast. If you search "worlds beyond number" on your podcatcher or podcast app you'll see the public feed, it has the same picture. They posted a guide to podcasts on patreon if you browse the other posts.

Blythe Atkinson

Small thing, but I'm geniunely surprised that Lou is the only one at the table who believes in ghosts. I kind of thought Erika or Brennan might.

Kellie O Edwards

There are not WORDS ENOUGH For how stoked I am about the witch class..... Like since I was a wee babe over empathize with Maleficent, I've been about witches and the clear thought, intent and respect that this discussion tips it's hat to has me high key feral and frothing at the mouth

Hey Keira! For now, the main narrative episodes are published on spotify and other podcast places, and the Patreon content will be here on the Fireside feed. You can find more info and help setting up the two feeds (if you need it) here in our lil' guide book https://www.patreon.com/posts/faq-me-faq-you-78044362 A little extra step up top, but it really helps us out, so thank you, and just thanks for being here in general! -t

DreadNinja

I can't wait to see the Witch class! So much of what they discribed is what i want in a character. I've been playing a "witch" in a 5e game with a reflavored Artificer to make tokens and charms, using an infusions for a familiar and feats for druid spells. And the first acrion i took in the campaign was to magically fortify our homebase, like the ribbon ability they were describing. I'm so interested to see their finished class.

thequeercat

There could not have been a more obvious first patreon for me to sub to tbh. Always a pleasure to hear these folks gabbin’ and goofin’.

Michael Link

Taylor sounds like Brennan and it's killing me.

Judes

On tenterhooks waiting for the Witch Class drop. Tenterhooks!!!

2023-03-30 21:48:27 I came to the comments to see how many people noticed that Taylor sounds like Brennan is playing the 'Taylor - Producer' character to mask how much work he's actually putting in because you sound so much alike and I am not disappointed lmao &lt;3 love y'all

Also I am team Erika and Lou with the character catharsis. It's glorious and healing.

Lisa Plasencia

I LOVE podcasts, but this is my first Patreon account because of how much I love you guys. The children’s episodes were some of the best storytelling I’ve ever listened too. I already have a para social relationship with all of you and can’t wait for the many years for that relationship to grow.

tiredandangry

It's crazy how Taylor just sounds like Brennan doing a voice. Crazy.

Jonathan Crawshaw

When it comes to the phenomenal response of this launch, I think you timed the release in a way to capture both the dimension 20 fandom and the critical role fandom. Having Come after EXU: calamity, you have arguably the two biggest actual play communities who have absolutely fallen in love with brennan and abria's dming styles and abilitiesas well as the phenomenal play that you see from Abria, Brennan, and Lou. I am So excited to see this campaign in future campaigns Because I know how good all of you are at what you do. Not to mention I have needed more Of Erica playing DnD in my life.

HungryEyes

It’s not just me right? Taylor sounds like one of Brennan’s characters. I seriously had to listen for them talking over each other to confirm this wasn’t some elaborate bit 😂😂😂

Dillan Lyons

This is the most fun I've had with dnd without actually playing. In less than 24 hours of listening it has become my favorite thing to listen to. So thanks yall.

Peter Crowell

Love the podcast overall. I am however, disappointed that you referenced MLA citations and not the superior APA method

Rick Smathers

I am so excited to see the Witch Class released. Brandon totally sells it as an amazing class.

Sahar Azizkhani

Is Taylor the voice of Evan Kelmp???

Guy Pope

Bit confused here, are the fireside chats about the "adult" adventure available but not the actual episodes?

Evilest Teapot

The adult episodes are available on a different stream, rather than the Patreon channel. If you look up “Worlds Beyond Number” on most podcatcher apps you should be able to find the adult adventure. I think there is more info in the FAQ/instruction manual post.

Evilest Teapot

Totally fine! The system is kinda confusing and I would hate for someone to miss out

Guy Pope

You know, even knowing what was coming after listening to the prelude and the childrens adventure episode one just gutted me. Thank you all so much for the amazing story telling and emotional trauma(in a good way). I miss my grandma.

Sara Sorrell

I have an embarrassing and hilarious confession 😆 only listening to the podcasts up to this point and none of the fireside chats. I 100% thought Taylor was a voice Brennan was doing to pretend y'all have an editor. I see now that he is indeed a real person 😂

Sara

This is also my first consistent podcast and first Patreon. Never saw the point of podcasts before, really, over music or something but this is TOO GOOD!

worldsbeyondnumber

Hey Guy Pope! Check out our instruction manual pinned as the top post on the front of our patreon page. That'll help you get all the right audio in the right places. Bon chance, il Papa! -t

Jesse Massaro

The opening night was really fun!! That insta live was so good! Coup Crew !!

Kristin Higginbotham

Taylor (and I mean this in the kindest way possible) sounds like if Biz Glitterdew was a real actually good dude

Day Sleep

Taylor is so right about Pro Tools

Lilith Evenstar

Taylor gushing about the community and his rose (what I call a Mohaine Desert Moment) is so fucking wholesome I cannot stand it!!!

Katlynn

The joy in this fireside chat is infectious

Pat & Heather

Dying about the milk storage in cows vs fridge bit...

natasha

I can't believe I didn't learn about this project until yesterday!

AGL

I couldn’t resist joining and this is better than I could ever imagine

Haldon Lindstrom

I held it together through the whole Children's Adventure, and these wonderful people made me cry on the first fireside chat!?! Why?!?!? They're so vulnerable and so rad.

jerry stokvis

This is both my first podcast and my first patreon sub and i gotta say its so good i am nothing but so excited to for the wizard the witch and the wild one.

PhillyMoe

Taylor sounds like the fairy guy from Fantasy High in the AV club.

Jessie Cooke

This is my first time joining a Patreon and I absolutely LOVE everything about this, and am getting family more into it!

Keiondra A Johnson

Aabrias smolder while literally so so so good was totally different than everyone else's face

Josh Burns

Taylor and Brennan sound soooo similar.

Kurt Anderson

I watched the first episode of season and I gotta say, my attention is well cared for. Can I donate an extra 5 bucks a month?

jasper

"To anyone who uses Avid, I JUST WANT TO TALK--" God I feel this in my bones Taylor, every time I walk past my dad using it on the bigger monitor my brain immediately crumbles into dust (and I do editing too so it should make at least Some sense!) But Avid is just. A terrifying eldritch beast of a program. A monstrosity. I lose 3 brain cells the second it enters my line of sight, every single time

Cur

All of my FAVORITE CREATORS in ONE CAMPAIGN I can perish now. We're good, I'm happy. This is. This is good. This is also my first podcast. How did I miss this FOR LITERAL MONTHS

Jasmine

I'm listening to this for the first time, and now I need to know if Aabria sent Taylor an apple yesterday...

Joshua

This is my first Patreon!

Elizabeth Boskey

I joined the Patreon the second I heard about all of my favorite actual play people in one place and binged through the first arc and only then realized that the fireside chats existed! And the children's campaign! And now I can't decide if I binge through the chats before starting arc 2.

Elizabeth Boskey

"what's the lie this world believes" .... And this is why Aabria as a GM is 😍

Genna

I don't think I could love this group of people more. The profound feeling of calm, joy, laughter, safety, and home that just fills my whole being when I listen to them crafting stories together and even just goofing around and being friends... I could not be more grateful for them and for WBN 💜✨🥰

Archon of Commoragh

I didn't know of Taylor. He does indeed sound handsome and very fun.

Melissa Carle

Listening now for the first time and must express my deep appreciation that the marching tune for the wizards returning from war is a melody call out "To when the ants go marching in." Perfection.

Christopher Underhill

I’m late to this but i think i can be forgiven since I basically wept throughout this entire episode 😅 I see people talking about video of fireside chats? are those hosted somewhere else?
