Thanks to the twitter thread I made an account curious to see what Wil, Spiner, Burton, and Felicia, ect talk about..not that I have anything to add. It's like nerd paparazzi, except it's voluntary.. and entertaining.. anyway, now the comments Wil made about the DM trying to kill him on purpose make sense.

edit: after listening to it.. still confused.

Well, be aware that they record an entire 4-6 hour section all at once, break it up into half hour chunks and then posts one chunk each week.

So if he was talking about the experience elsewhere, they may not have posted the part he was referring to yet.

I really enjoy listening to them, but I wish there was an option just to get the whole thing at once.

That's a misrepresentation of the d-Atom. We now know that all d#'s exist in a cloud of probability all around the d20 nucleus.

Thus the various sides... each die has a distinct probability that any of its sides will be rolled on any given roll. The d4 exists in a 25% probability cloud, the d6 in a 16.67% probability cloud, the d8 in a 12.5% probability cloud, and the d12 in an 8.33% probability cloud. Simple.

Your dphysics is impressive. Do you, perhaps, have a *dOctorate?

I should tell you:

I believe puns to be perhaps the most offensive thing possible in common parlance. To pun is to render the entire apparatus of linguistic communication inane and groundless. You, sir, have quite imbalanced my poise. I find that reprehensible. I hope you have some proper recompense. Otherwise, our bloods will be locked in a mortal feud which may last long after our petty lives. How answer you? HOW?!

Pshaw, a pun is the most exquisite exercise of creative linguistic ingenuity. When one puns, one actually commits, what I feel, is the, you might say, modus operandi of humanity! That is, a pun is a contradiction of terms and concepts that evolves out of such a thing's natural state! However, unlike contradiction in the purely logical sense, it results in a growth of perspective and vision. Growth from contradiction, a wonderful thing.

Btw, I am a xenomorph and, as such, my blood is very corrosive. I do hope your blood is not vulnerable to such evolutionary beneficial atomic properties (it has to do with the roll of dice in the d4 probability cloud not actually being 25%, but rather 85%...yarly, it is vry srs and scry!). If this is not the case, you will fall before my pirate jihad as have many, many other less evolved xenos. This is dScience, sir, it is not hyperbole, nor any other forms of the bole that you may envision.

It can go **** itself. The sweet, sweet caress of cotton is worth far more than hyper-specialized ecological consumption. Unless its DNA can be used for my pirate jihad and result in disproportionate* returns. BUT THEY MAY ONLY BE DISPROPORTIONATE*, SIR!

*Or is it disproportional? I've never really understood the difference between the forms, other than the one I chose sounds better to my ear.

Be careful. That which is more pleasing to the ear may not be to the non-verbalized reading mind. There is a special difference between the prose of the playwright and that of the novelist. It is uneven ground you tread. And you are not a mountain goat. Though you may be a weasel, you honourless* cur!
