Constellation, Episode 79 | Micah's Mini D&D Campaign, LEGO, Assassin's Creed's Future, Schadenfreude
🕑 Added 2024-07-08 16:00:12 +0000 UTCIt's time for more Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, I (Colin) am joined by my lovely wife and Last Stand's coordinator Micah Moriarty, Summon Sign's Brad Ellis, and Lockmort's Edit's Lockmort. And boy, do we have a nerdy assortment of topics for you. Micah kicks things off with a short D&D-like campaign she wrote for us to participate in, complete with branching paths and dice rolls. Will we survive? Brad follows-up with a chat about LEGO sets, their quality, their licenses, and their great expense. Are we fans? From there, I (Colin) take over by talking about schadenfreude, the German word that means reveling in the misfortune of others. Let's be honest: None of us is above it... right? Finally, Lock wraps things up with a peek into the what-ifs of Assassin's Creed's future. If it was up to us, where in history would we set a new AC title?

Please give us MORE GM Micah 👏🏼
Gooch Gobbler
I forget his name but the main black dude in the crew without powers, he looks completely unrecognizable this season. I thought they replaced him
Gabriel Baker
Colonial simulator 😂😂

Micah’s quest was amazing. Would love to hear another one by Micah or even someone else
Victor Melchor
Micah’s d&d quest was awesome. Gladly could go for more of this!!!

Hadn’t finished the episode before commenting but just want to add again that MICAH IS SPOT FUCKING ON! 😂😂😂 completely agree!!
Draven E.
Micah is spot on with Assassins Creed. After the Desmond arc was abandoned it was hard to care about the games. I’m assuming greed and wanting to get what they could out of the franchise was more important that finishing the story. They might as well just change the name to Historical Fiction Simulator 12 lol
Lou & Rei Loper
Micah clearly didn't get enough love for her D&D mini...so here's some more love. WE NEED MORE OF THAT IN OUR LIVES!!! lol
Diego Macias
Absolutely loved this episode, Micah's game was absolutely top tier given her brand of wacky 😂 Everyone else's topics were definitely good as well. The more I listen to Brad the more I like the guy, great addition to LSM.

Micah's segment was awesome I would kill for a ttrpg show with last stand people on it

Micah’s DND mini-campaign is by far my favorite topic ever on Constellation. Micah, you would make a great DM, and I hope to hear more content like this soon. It was deeply entertaining to listen to.

I've never once "watched an episode of Critical Role but listen to it in podcast format. It's amazing. I don't get Colin's reasoning at all
Tanner Denso
Love Legos! At the height of Covid I decided to get Darth Vaders castle on Mustafar to entertain myself in a very boring time. It was only like 120 or 150 at the time. It’s only a foot and a half and it sits on a shelf in my living room.
Ross Stoddart
Yes Micah! TOTALLY agree on Assassin’s Creed! The historical stuff was always so fun but the narrative was driven forward by the present day story.
Andrew Long
I’ve never gotten into Critical Role for the same reason as Colin mentioned, I’m not there for the acting and role playing. But I’d watch the hell out of an LSM D&D
Andrew Dickson
I rarely comment on a finished episode, but Micah needs to know how incredibly entertaining and delightful her D&D campaign was! If Last Stand were to make it a regular (or at least recurring) segment I would listen to the hell out of that!
Bartevious
My interpretation of the situation isn’t that Colin is excusing pedophilic behavior, I don’t think it has anything to do with docs situation. It’s more an observation that people love to pile on to people that are easy targets, in a way that makes them feel like better people. Like, you aren’t a better person all of a sudden because some twitch streamer talked to a kid and you tweeted at him for it. Maybe just a thing of, look at me calling out this bad person, I am now a good person because I did that.
Bartevious
No one acknowledging that joke made me sad. Funniest bit of the campaign for me
Bartevious
Micah, that was super dope. I hope yall do that type of thing more with different combinations of the LSM crew. Awesome start to the show
Ding Dong
Awesome episode. I think Micah did a great job on the D&D section
Brandon Tyler
Just another shout out to Micah comment , even though you’ve been doing podcasting for only a year or so youre more funny and entertaining then 90% of the people I listen to on other podcasts
Wesley S.
I enjoyed the mini Micah campaign. Very fun topic.
Colin Moriarty
Great episode, and an especially huge shoutout to Micah for mixing it up a bit. Also, keep in mind that Sweeney is big into D&D. 👀
Dresk47
I find it funny that Colins intro to schadenfreude was people piling on Dr Disrespect (how that's somehow strange or they're bad actors), because of admitted pedophilic actions and then Micah hated a main character from glee for pedophilic actions, no push back from Colin on that one.
Paul Waltz
“Penetrate the fiend with his hot dog sword.” lmfao
EEWEE
Loved the D&D session Micah!! Also, the actress from The Boys is vehemently denying that she had that plastic surgery, FYI. Said she lost a ton of weight due to a personal issue between shooting.
Mama Micah
Ahoy! My dad was never part of the church, he and I always have been close and that never changed. I left in 2011 and my mom did shun me for several years, she later left the church around 2020 for her own reasons and now we have a somewhat distant relationship. -Micah :)
Bogey Zero
Holy shit that AC topic is such cool idea for a podcast topic
The Devmeister
Micah, my daughter is 7 and I got the Lego Xmas Tree for us last year and we do exactly that every year now! We build it, leave it out for the season, break it down, and do it again annually! We love it.
[ Enrique ]
Micah killed it with the dnd would love to see more!
Diddy’s Dong Quest
I was smiling all throughout the DnD campaign. Definitely would love an encore. Also, shoutout to Brad. You can tell he’s putting in a lot of work to be on as many podcasts as he can. I feel like I see him on everything now lol. Thanks for the hard work 👍🏻
Bogey
Micah I understand if this is too personal of a question, but I’m wondering how you maintained a relationship with your parents after leaving the JWs? I have a coworker who literally had to reset his entire friend and family group, starting over from zero because he left the religion. His own parents won’t even talk to him. Did your parents leave with you?
Yiorgos
I'm actually of excited about future Assassins Creed projects because one of them is a multiplayer project. My favorite multiplayer of all time was Assassin's Creed. It premiered in Brotherhood and was around for Revelations, AC3 and Black Flag. I miss it so much, I played the heck out that mode. I hope it returns again.
Peter Raber
Micah needs to make that segment a regular segment

Micah’s D&D segment was fantastic, I would absolutely listen to LSM mini campaigns as a standalone show
Suce Mes Orteils
I'm pretty sure the Doc was getting shit on so hard was because he was one of those "leave the kids alone" guys while talking freaky to a child in the DMs
Noah Friscopp
Wishing Pathfinder all the success.

OGL - open gaming licence . Colin You need to read up the history on Wizards of the coast and the anti establishment break off of Paizo . Fascinating recent history there
JB
Love, the tabletop RPG segment. Creating a scenario or one-off campaign can take days of prep. Pre mades can be purchased for a few bucks. Some DMs focus on world building, like geography, economy, anthropology and some key NPCs, then let the players play in the sandbox.
Michael Mashpotato
Shout out to Micah. She wrote 3000 words to entertain us and I loved every minute of that. She’s the goat of Stelly IMO.
Michael Mashpotato
I would have chosen the corn dog as well.
Caleb Peacock
That was fun Micah
Stewy108
This was a fun listen!! Thankyou Micah for this very clever mixup and breathing some fresh air into Constellation. Would love more of these with the different LSM personalities.
Jamie Hexum
It’s not there for me either.
Tyler Kaminski
Is this episode missing in anyone else’s Spotify feed?
Colin Moriarty
I know LSM has warped my expectations when I view under 3 hours as a short show.
Daniel E
When they start yelling “Jaaaaayson” I lost it. Well played, Micah
John
Holy shit. Micah’s DND campaign was fucking hilarious. “The tree’s bussy”
Noah Friscopp
I can’t get mad at the less savory aspects of the portrayal of DnD lately, when so much of it is homebrew. And BG3 and the movie were great. I’m running a campaign in the Forgotten Realms, but I’m using the sourcebooks from 3rd edition or whatever. And most crucially, there are a lot of other games!
Daneric Rivera
Micah’s D&D Campaign! 🙌🏼
Fella
Micah’s D&D segment was fantastic. It would be very entertaining to see Jaffe thrown into the mix if there were another.
Ben Haner
Micah is quickly becoming my favorite member of LSM
Have you considered considering considerations considerately considerate
You may throw a large boulder the size of a small boulder. I’m already onboard
Whiskeywhiskey
Micah we want an entire episode of D&D you killed it! It was very fun to listen.
drew
Enjoyed it Micah do it again..
Daddy T
Brads really enjoying the peanut butter Stelly lately
Cody Raburn (ray-burn)
I love how I can tell which segment is going to be Colin’s every time just by looking at the title lol
