      A big loss?
      Looking forward to allmost 2 hours of action, I have just started and am glad to hear that you are back ti fighty-fighty.

      About the big loss? My guess is that Randus is going down. Alex was unfortunate enough to mention something about it on the “gamemasters workshop”.

      But pleace, don’t let him die if it is him. The team needs a human face.

      Good one. My group uses the bottleneck strategy quite often. It’s gotten to the point where everything our GM throws at us uses bursts :D

      I have a question why doesn’t Orem use Magic Missile more ofter isn’t it a minor action? Couldn’t he attack with his sword, shift a square back, and then to add insult to injury magic missile their butt? If the recent rule change changed MM I’m sorry for my ignorance!

      Love the show guys and image loss BAH I’ll use my imagination!!

        Missile is a standard action.

      Loved when Rodrigo said “I kept expecting the party to say: okay Torq you stay with the stone…”, Bea is gonna love this! Great episode.

      So what was the special occasion that lead to this episode being released a day early? having three hours of MSCrew action did come in handy as I was out making sure all the telephone poles in the city were appropriately covered with the right posters… which is a buttload of walking around.

        Wow! No matter how much they pay you – it’s not enough!

          Thanks, Andreas. It’s a fairly thankless job… in fact our newly elected Mayor mentioned passing a by-law to ban doing it in his campaign, so it is very nice to hear someone say nice things like that.

          @Matthew, I knew that the iTunes gets episodes earlier than the site does, but this time it was like 12 hours early, so I was curious. Keep on casting, guys. :)

            Sorry, Stephen, the second paragraph was for you, not Matthew… where’s an edit / delete button when you need one? XD

          • Stephen Schleicher on October 27, 2010 8:38 am

            No worries… As I mentioned, this was a one-time/rare thing, and if you saw the post on Twitter, you knew why it was released early.

        It wasn’t released a day early on the site. The show is always available Saturday morning. If you have an iTunes subscription, the show was available a few hours early than normal. If you follow @MajorSpoilers on Twitter you get notified when new episodes are released via the RSS feed, and more importantly, you find out WHY the show was released a few hours early.

          Any chance you will let those of us who don’t Twitter (and prefer to get our comics on the printed page) in on why it released early?

          Reply
          • Stephen Schleicher on October 18, 2010 12:28 pm

            No, because it was a one time thing.

      After finding your podcast about a month ago, I just finished catching up on all the shows by listening to #70(I can listen while at work- yeah!), and am not looking forward to cutting back to one a week now. You guys rock! (Do people still say that?) Anyway, I’m an old guy (sounds like I’m Matthew & Stephen’s age) and hadn’t played D&D since around about 1990 when I graduated from college, but listening to Critical Hit fanned the flames of my interest once again and for the last two weeks I’ve played in 4e game sessions here in Boulder. What fun! I’m even looking ahead to maybe DMing a bit next year. Anyway, thanks for the podcast, it is much appreciated.

      p.s. I kept waiting for ‘Fluffy’ to get called up by Torq as you guys were following the energy trail since… as sure as God made little green apples… there was probably going to be a fight in the near future. Did he just forget?
