 red_shoes_jeff: !searchfortreasure
  LRRbot: You find: a Wandering Monster!
 red_shoes_jeff: Ahh!
 hyralt:  Gnomes in my bottom.
 Getter404: !box
  LRRbot: In the box is: isekai Timbits
 red_shoes_jeff: So... if we eat the Timbits, do we go to another world? Or are the Timbits FROM another world?
  Juliamon: You choke on them
 red_shoes_jeff: So what makes them special?
 Micalovits:   
 Getter404: I think the timbits are delivered at such a velocity that the impact *causes* an isekai event
 underhill33:   
 lamina5432: evenin
  Juliamon: Regular ones you die with no reincarnation

DideRobot: LRR: Time for mini night on AFK! Ben's Nighthaunt are taking on Max's Deepkin while Erika works on a Rhino. https://twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun (has image) | https://kind.social/@LoadingReadyRun/116134249912265925
 hyralt: @jacqui_lantern234 What a sweet message.  Thank you!  Nerd.
 jacqui_lantern234: @hyralt the heck you just call me?! 
 ErynTzun: 
 jacqui_lantern234: sorry, the joke was there 
 hyralt: @jacqui_lantern234 lol what
 jacqui_lantern234: @hyralt the joke i made above
 hyralt: @jacqui_lantern234 It is there, yes
 Micalovits: Jacqui? A nerd? More like a loveable human being! (Who also happens to be a nerd)
cidalfos: Keep your reapers out of combat! They suck! Lmao
 hyralt: Woo!  Erika in the paint zone!
 jacqui_lantern234: HAI ERIKA   
 lamina5432: paint pit.
 Getter404: The p'zone
 Micalovits: But... I just made brownies?
 e_bloc: oops
 ErynTzun: p'zone will there be pi-zha?
   LoadingReadyRun:  Erika in the P'zone!
 jacqui_lantern234: An Rhino (tm)
 Getter404: METAL BAWKSES!
 compactdisco: Love me some 30K
 e_bloc: I thought Ben just said we weren't allowed to "work on our emperor's children"
 jacqui_lantern234: @LoadingReadyRun me out here waiting on bottom surgery so i can go from the p'zone to the v'zone 
ErynTzun watched 5 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
lrrAWESOME
 Micalovits: @jacqui_lantern234 10/10 joke 
 ErynTzun: Long wibbly thing it be warming
 hyralt: Scarf, also called a neck toque
 e_bloc: and a toque scarf combo
ikiusen_: Whos on tech? 👀
 Strebenherz: no shaming here
 jacqui_lantern234: BEN!!! 
 Getter404: *Immediately* backtracking on No Nut 2026
ikiusen_: Wohoo Paul!!
 Micalovits: Trench crusade so good
 BrowneePointz: I'd love to see...is it Star Wars Assault that's the big Ground Units SW game?
 Micalovits: And just needs models in a reasonable size
 BrowneePointz: or is it Legion?
 jacqui_lantern234: A B C - Always Play Weirdos 
 Getter404: Give me my ritualistically blinded Sniper Priest
 compactdisco: My TC rulebook just came in today
 BrowneePointz: ope I'm thinking of Legion
 betweenmyself: being consumed by an ooze/gelatinous cube is the ultimate in exfoliation 
 Micalovits: List building is a bunch, but the game system is so so smooth
 Half_Dupl3x: the artillery witch in trench crusade is the best
 Rhynerd: I have been tempted to make some Let's Nope themed Trench Pilgrims ever since Ben and Adam started sacrificing people before starting gameplay
 Getter404: Not only is it a list building game,  the default play style is an extended campaign where you spend Funbucks on new mans

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Rhynerd! (Today's storm count: 38)
 Getter404: Someone needs to teach Ben about Infinity and the Dinosaur Riding Greek Cyborgs
cidalfos: oooh Ben’s on the new Nighthaunt spearhead, hell yeah. I haven’t taken them for a spin yet.
 Strebenherz: wait actual piranhas
mastrunderhill: spearhead is so great. I wish 40K combat patrols worked as well as spearhead does.
phoenixfeather14: Shork!!
 Micalovits: Elf on Shark - duh duh duh
 Half_Dupl3x: is spearhead it's own set of models?
mastrunderhill: spearhead is a format. there is no army building, each kid is a set bunch of models, sold conveniently in one box
pctjoe watched 5 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
 Micalovits: Just very dark and spooky some of them
mastrunderhill: all the models are a normal part of full sized aged Sigmar

 Getter404: @Half_Dupl3x It's Combat Patrol for AoS, but scaled down much better with bespoke mechanics rather than "here's 40K with bits missing"
 Half_Dupl3x: ah ok. i mostly play 40k so that's why i wasnt recognizing anything 
 Getter404: Like the "cards" they mentioned are your Secondary Objectives OR you can cash them in for a buff that turn, so you get a taste of multiple systems but in a manageable way
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 1 1 1 1
   LoadingReadyRun: using the chains the you are eternally damned to carry as a mace is thinking outside the box
 HadesLeprechaun: the Nighthaunts are such a cool faction, the models are incredible
 Getter404: Kinda my least favorite Death army, but that's because Death is like all 10 out of 10 and they're a 9.5
 Getter404: You've got Skeleton Mech Romans, Vampire Counts But With Werewolves, and Biblically Accurate Bretonians
 Micalovits: Lacking Tomb Kings means no death faction can really be a 10
   LoadingReadyRun: I feel like the spiky design of the Nighthaunt is kind of GW flexing their modern miniature making techniques
 Getter404: @Micalovits The Bone IRS would like to know your location.
 Micalovits: But they don't have War Kitties!
 HadesLeprechaun: @LoadingReadyRun I just love how they've made the floating ghost models still attached to a base in very clever ways
   LoadingReadyRun: how's the music volume?
 lamina5432: good to me
 Getter404: Perfect
Ashmantle: seems good to me
 gualdhar: Ben's at an All-you-can-eat sashimi restaurant
Mai_Andra: oh, of course Max is playing sharks... 
 Dog_of_Myth: Sharks vs Ghosts, a tale as old as time.
 Getter404: Sadly I'm on a tabletop spending freeze until GW announces pricing on that new Custodes box, because DAYUM
 PharaohBender27: Ahoy-hoy!  How heads the spear?
 PharaohBender27:  Wall down!
 Getter404: *cries in Votann*
MWGNZ: 
 Micalovits: 6+ save is the best save

 Micalovits: Never fails
 HadesLeprechaun: I rewatched that Master Trainer clip like 6 times and shared it with a bunch of people, what an incredible sequence of events for Wheeler
w0rldlytutor: Always took Ben for a Seraphon guy
   LoadingReadyRun: ghost vs piranha is an age old struggle
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun Some Jacob Marley vibes, if he had started to beat up Scrooge.
 Blip2004: I think Cam was playing Seraphon
cidalfos: @w0rldlytutor Cameron is on Seraphon. 😁
MWGNZ: gotta watch out when they combine forces as ghost pirahna
w0rldlytutor: Nice 
 HadesLeprechaun: horses: historically pretty valuable
 e_bloc: shark eyes
Earthenone watched 80 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
 Getter404: The model shape itself is relevant for line of sight, but not for determining range IIRC
 Trahas: only if it completes the charge
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun Man v. nature, man v. man, ghost v. piranha. That checks with the classical narrative rules. Antigone would have been even better had the Greek chorus been eaten by ravenous fish on stage, and then had to stick around and comment as ghosts.
 Trahas: so they have to end within .5 "
 Getter404: The only time the size of the mans is important for range is if the model itself doesn't *have* a base (mainly vehicles in 40k)
ArtDecoSunburn watched 15 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
nicolebarbaraann: i have no idea what's happening but im happy to be here
MWGNZ: #teamNicole
   LoadingReadyRun: Should *mortal* damage work on ghosts?🤔
 Micalovits: Yes, yes it does
MWGNZ: i mean it did work on them at one point in their history
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun Could Scooby Doo it. (Pulls off mask to reval ghost is really Groundskeeper Smith)
 e_bloc: I shot the shark...but I did not shoot the manatee
   LoadingReadyRun: @ArtDecoSunburn an entire squad of Groundskeeper Smiths
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun That'll really freak out Scrappy Doo.
 Getter404: Fun Fact: Nagash considers doctors to be thieves & criminals because by keeping people from dying they're stealing souls that SHOULD be his. I forget which one exactly but there is an entire Nighthaunt unit that's healers being stuck in an Ironic Torment
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc (Jams to whole sealife, Warhammer, Clapton album idea)
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Getter404 Imagine some poor Medieval barber caught in that. "But I never believed in bloodletting! I'm just bad at shaving."
 Getter404: Always be sure to double check, AoS loves using "Wholly Within" a lot more than 40k
Namillus: Do the Harridans have an ability that lets them move into combat range?
Ace__of__Hearts: if I were to start playing 40K I think I would just buy some Orcs and just go to town
 e_bloc: the laws are made up and the points don't matter
IsSecretlyPaul: Spear head spear head spear head
 e_bloc: it's better than the rest
jibkat: aaaa
qasix: thats a lot o dice
IsSecretlyPaul: I checked ben had 16 6s
IsSecretlyPaul: for future reference when you pile in you need to move to the model that is closest
 e_bloc: (he could not deal with it)
 Getter404: Technically damage counts *up* in AoS but it's so backwards compared to every other GW game it's fine
 e_bloc: @Getter404 oh so its correct
   LoadingReadyRun: @Getter404 because GW hates us 
 Getter404: bbno$? Oh or you, yeah you that works
IsSecretlyPaul: its 2 saves
IsSecretlyPaul: the ability for mortal wounds would be Crit:Mortals
IsSecretlyPaul: Its models on it
 e_bloc: 
IsSecretlyPaul: Did erika glue in the center panel?
MWGNZ: good looking tonk
 Getter404: You still have the most dreaded part: The tank treads (no idea if the newer HH sculpts fixed this)
dire_5loth: Oooh, is LRR playing some age of sigmar?
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: oof gw tank treads
 Getter404: Oh right, Cameron's getting Soup'd tomorrow. Almost forgot.
jibkat: 
   LoadingReadyRun: Tokyo Treat Box FTW (not sponsored)
 e_bloc: just wait for when the scrandal subscription starts
IsSecretlyPaul: if ben is taking the double then max is the underdog
 realbadatthis_: This after the "man of faith" promise in pokemon
 e_bloc: thats a war crime
 Territan: Sometimes a heartfelt, thankful recommendation is the greatest sponsorship. Except for, you know, getting paid for the blasted thing.

 e_bloc: good neighbors make good walls
 e_bloc: !card wall of bone
  LRRbot: Wall of Bone [2B] | Creature — Skeleton Wall [1/4] | Defender / {B}: Regenerate this creature.
 e_bloc: will soulslike do
   LoadingReadyRun: @IsSecretlyPaul I'm seeing that it is just based on who has the less points
 Dog_of_Myth: Soulless in this economy?
 e_bloc: @Dog_of_Myth do you have any idea how high soulsowners insurance is these days
jibkat: whats the soul to maiden exchange rate these days?
IsSecretlyPaul: @LoadingReadyRun I'm sorry there is conflicting spearhead and Core AOS rules on "seizing the Initiative" probably not worth rewinding as long as both players are in agreement
   LoadingReadyRun: @IsSecretlyPaul The thing I'm looking at just says that when  you seize the initiative you don't draw battle tactics (unless you are 5 points under)
IsSecretlyPaul: yep its called the same thing in big sigmar and they have that underdog errta in that so i got it mixed up
IsSecretlyPaul: im looking for if it got updated in spearhead now
jibkat: You would never break the chain, never break the chain
   LoadingReadyRun: ah, ok. maybe the what I'm seeing is out of date
IsSecretlyPaul: nah i can't find the update either so I could just be inventing ghost rules
 e_bloc: hitting on 4's is an average saturday night for me
 realbadatthis_: 
 e_bloc: 
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc (Sam Cooke rolls for hits) "Just another Saturday night, and I got no 5's // I ain't got no initiative . . ."
 e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn 
IsSecretlyPaul: Ben Nighthaunt are secretly tanky
 UtilityPunk:  You cannot hurt me, imma ghost
 e_bloc: I'd watch sharks v goblins
 UtilityPunk: But... you can hurt my feelings 
 Territan: Was that Ian?
 e_bloc: stil holding out for a hero
  Juliamon: Stop haunting yourself! Stop haunting yourself!
IsSecretlyPaul: Its a core action
IsSecretlyPaul: you can only take 1 core action
IsSecretlyPaul: do they have a 9 inch stipulation for setup
IsSecretlyPaul: oh wait
IsSecretlyPaul: 6 in spearhead
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc "West Side Story"-style? Could they snap and dance at each other to a Bernstein beat before pulling out their laser guns?
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/RefinedStrongSangLitFam-dQrz_hD4yYahgEFe
 e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn oh wow thats even more appealing
IsSecretlyPaul: yeah elves are cheaters
 e_bloc: if you're not cheating you're not trying
 ArtDecoSunburn: @UtilityPunk Sad ghosts get more candy in their buckets at Halloween. "Hunny, this one is sobbing. Give them another Snickers bar."
100viewbots: love this angle
 e_bloc: not a leg to stand on
 Mazrae: Hello everyone
IsSecretlyPaul: the issue with the horses is that they are hitting on 4s and 5s
IsSecretlyPaul: so its a little swingy
 e_bloc: with all these twos, I think we should go with Worf's plan
   LoadingReadyRun: "I spent all day eating ghosts, but I'm still hungry  " 
 PharaohBender27: Ghosts are just empty calories!
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
 e_bloc: not if you mix in a poultrygeist
IsSecretlyPaul: i've never known a shark to miss
IsSecretlyPaul: combat range
IsSecretlyPaul: 3inches
   LoadingReadyRun: If you come at a shark, you better not miss
IsSecretlyPaul: you treat the terrain as if you were in combat with it as a model itself
confracto: if you come at a shark in the shark dimension, you can't miss
 e_bloc: what do they call the horse
 public_key_reveal_party: @confracto I have faith in myself that I could manage it still
IsSecretlyPaul: yeah scoring is the last thing thats done
100viewbots: and here I thought this was a mastermind match D:
IsSecretlyPaul: ties means no double
IsSecretlyPaul: so its whoever just went loses
IsSecretlyPaul: the rules are numbered
 e_bloc: havent done that since last summer
 PharaohBender27: 
IsSecretlyPaul: TITLE DROP
 DiscordianTokkan: 
IsSecretlyPaul: important clarification for ben chooseing the horses he would have to retreat and charge
100viewbots: 
IsSecretlyPaul: since they are in combat
IsSecretlyPaul: carry on
IsSecretlyPaul: ur right
IsSecretlyPaul: you win this time ulmer
 UtilityPunk: Telehorses? That's a brilliant idea for D&D
  Juliamon: are telehorses like blink dogs
IsSecretlyPaul: if you have the choice of a combi anything you chose flamer for cool osl
 HorusFive: hero phase done.  villian phase begins
 public_key_reveal_party: my favorite part was when he went "it's heroing time" and heroed all over the place

100viewbots: another 2 
IsSecretlyPaul: i was always told the eels teleported

  Juliamon: Boo-mamusume
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone!
qasix: B-E agressive
Lysander_salamander: oh, it's the fish-elves vs the sheetghosts?
IsSecretlyPaul: this is why you never retreat, strategy never pays off you must fearlessly fight losing battles
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/HedonisticBlitheClipzDendiFace-cTX3c1R_DPXzIuxs
   LoadingReadyRun: Sometimes you just gotta shoot your shark
 e_bloc: wow and on endangered animal too
IsSecretlyPaul: this stream has really charged the shark
   LoadingReadyRun: @e_bloc *very endangered* on this turn
   LoadingReadyRun: Horseicane vs Sharknado
IsSecretlyPaul: shark wins these
IsSecretlyPaul: ez
IsSecretlyPaul: did those guys not retreat
qasix: do you autowin if you wipe the enemy?
   LoadingReadyRun: @qasix not technically. if they have a lot more points, you might not be able to catch up
qasix: gotcha
IsSecretlyPaul: ben never fight a sea elf at high tide
Inkymouse: I wanna fix the alignment of the dice tray SO bad
   LoadingReadyRun: @Inkymouse you're welcome
Inkymouse:   
IsSecretlyPaul: I think Max did it correctly but 4 jaws attacks was rolled for the shork cause there was a ghost with damage assigned to it right?
