Let's Play SURVIVE: ESCAPE FROM ATLANTIS

**Let's Play SURVIVE: ESCAPE FROM ATLANTIS** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

" *Wait a second! This reminds me of something! This reminds me of almost every game we've ever played!* "
― Sully
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "The real lost island is the friends you killed along the way".
* Who will be *keeping their head above water* and who will be *scraping the bottom of the Atlantic*?
* The start of 2023 brings us a new game to play (very briefly) ... Adam Blampied hair watch. This episode, we have blond at all stages, but for how long?
* Atlantis is sinking, everyone's trying to get off the island and screwing over the others may be the best way to do it. I wonder how this is going to end up?
* Adam and Holly may be pretending to have buried the hatchet, but let us not forget this is the Moonrakers Crew aka The Best Friends Gang, smilin' and stabbin' our speciality. Holly can remember nothing of previous years, so that's ok. We did get an actual squashing of the beef, though.
* What happens in a mean game, Sullivan? "Laurie very much takes the high road... plays the game to the best of his abilities, while he watches us scrabble around in the gutter".
* Triforce unite! Super trifle layers, but triangles are very weak structures as we know. *We last less than 4 minutes* before we revert to type.
* All hail the Tower of Destiny!
* Luckily, nobody at all remembers Moonrakers. Even more luckily, without our chalkboard, nobody has any more reason to bully Adam.
* Peace in our time? Peaceful death, maybe.
* Holly doesn't know. She might know. She doesn't. She might.
* We get a Pokemon song or two.
* *Do it! Do it you coward!* Oh the sturm und drang, it's like an opera.
* If you're going to screw over your nearest and dearest, you may as well do it with glee.
* You can always get new friends.

Let's Play QUEST

### Winners

Game 1 Good (Adam, Brooke, Holly, Jon), Game 2 Good (Adam, Jon, Laurie, Tilly), Game 3 Good (Adam, Holly, Laurie, Tilly)

## ★ ADAM'S CHALKBOARD ★

**Let's Play QUEST** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

" *But you HAVE to play success if you're good, right? ... So, you ARE evil?* "
― Jon
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "It's only a model".
* Will the *good team eat ham and jam and spam a lot*, or will the *evil team fart in their general direction*?
* Almost everyone gets a -y, so Jon becomes a Jonny.
* The Lord of the Board is given the (almost) traditional standing welcome. Sullivan's wedged treasonously close to the table. Tilly is the one with the most loyal display and she's rewarded with power.
* Lots of our cast have tiny t-rex arms.
* Team Rocket do the first mission!
* Adam has learned a new word, apparently - lambast.
* Within the first 10 minutes we descend into screeching accusations. So, normal BGC stuff then.
* Nobody can read Holly - that's the one thing we can agree on. Even with snakes in her ears.
* Laurie's accusation is so convincing, the actual baddie second guesses themselves.
* Adam and Sullivan scream 'bad boy' at one another for a while.
* Jon tries to convince the group that in chivalric terms, 'stout' means staunch and true, not round like a teapot.
* New channel slogan - 'there's always enough content'.
* We get a proper reference to the 'Too Sweet' wrestling sign, which Holly decides is 'Two Swans'.
* It's very disrespectful to talk about swans when the queen has so recently died, apparently.
* A watch is inherently more welcome than snacks and riddles.
* Sullivan can get very cross when being accused of being evil. It may or may not be convincing.
* We've learned one thing, apparently. Brooke: "I think most people will understand" but Jon and Holly don't. Jon feels dumb and dangerously paranoid.
* We're obfuscating with bits.
* Jon gives off the air of leader, even though Brooke is the one wearing the crown.
* Tilly: "I wish you weren't all so good at lying".
* Adam's checking Sullivan pretty much for the bit.
* Laurie low-key works out pretty much every world they face - but will anyone ever believe him? No, because Laurie is Cassandra.
* We're updating Adam's chalkboard - multiple times. It's very exciting and Adam's determined he's not playing Monopoly.
* Laurie's very suspicious about the length of the games we're playing these days.

## Trivia

* Game introduction and rules are presented by Sullivan.
* Chalkboard update - some wins on the board!
* An extended version of this episode is available on the No Rolls Barred Patreon.
* Lots of people, no talking heads.
Kiss my grits

**"Kiss my grits"** is a catchphrase of Jon Gracey that he uses against those who have wronged him. It is a saying from the American South. He likely picked up the phrase from the TV show *Alice*.

For a time, the discount code for Jon's Werewolf Live games was "KISSMYGRITS". During the *10 Hour Board Game Club Marathon For 50K Subs!!!*, Brooke explained what grits were, but in *Let's Play CHEESE THIEF*, he admitted that he had still not figured it out.

## List of instances

1. ↑ https://www.instagram.com/p/CtHH4OXIqPE
2. ↑ Adam to Jon, claiming his grits were even saltier than Jon's
3. ↑ This is Adam, not Jon - a rare non-Gracey sighting.
4. ↑ Thematically Piraty - and sun-kissed!
5. ↑ Adam: "No, your grits!"
Let's Play CAMEL UP

## ★ ADAM'S CHALKBOARD ★

**Let's Play CAMEL UP** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*I bloody love dice and luck - fuck me, what a great game!*"
―Laurie
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "camel sense is what camels have to keep them from betting on people".
* Which of our players will be *the first to cross the finish line* and who will *end up getting the hump*?
* Dom's invented a rich man character all for himself. Ken is a standard British Sultan with no comedy accent. Tilly is Brooke.
* Tilly needs to grow up a bit quicker - we're all resentful of her starting first as the youngest, again.
* Dom: "The family motto is 'go big, or go back to where you came from, which is home'".
* Adam on Dom: "He's a lunatic!"
* Hubris Blampied strikes again - he's promised Dom that if both his bets come in, he can have the channel. Laurie objects.
* Adam: "My aim in Camel Up is not to win the game, but to win Sully's heart. As is my aim in every board game, ever. He'll be mine, one day. One beautiful day", because Adam and Sullivan are boyfriends.
* Ken and Laurie have a betting alliance. It's paying off immediately.
* Ken: "I play for the money. I'm so bored of watching the camels."
* 2nd round and Tilly is still, unbelievably, the youngest.
* Adam's hitching his wagon to Ken now. Fickle, fickle, fickle. Tilly's getting sugar daddy vibes. Adam: "I got you, daddy." Ooops, we're all regretting that one.
* Ken doesn't think these are real camels - he thinks they're people.
* Tilly's looking for her first BGC win.
* Dom: "The family motto is 'move the camels!'". Some nonsense about topiary.
* Adam: "Ken's a dark horse, he's a dark camel - he's found a way to maximise his coins."
* Tilly's entering into a 'partnership' with evil evil Laurie, which benefits her, mostly.
* The commentator voices have joined us - in a racing game it's almost a surprise it took this long.
* Dom and Laurie have got the giggles.
* Dom thinks the camel is two men in a costume. SECRET JOKE OF THE DAY! Adam points out that Ken made exactly the same joke earlier.
* Sullivan likes backing underdogs, at least he's consistent.
* Time for some big boy bets now.
* The red camel, which we thought might be dead some time ago (or two men in a costume) has now fallen on its face.
* Adam is back with Sullivan again: "... I can't wait until our wedding day, which we will hold over Brooke's grave." Their cards are kissing, apparently badly.
* Singalonga NRB: 'Hey big spender' 'Camel up' 'Tilly bobs'
* Sully never knows when to stop.
* Dom has tiny t-rex arms.
* And the race finishes in a hurry, in the end.
* Everyone appears to be delighted that Laurie won.
* Get the hump!

## Scores

* Dom 17
* Sullivan 21
* Adam 30
* Tilly 36
* Ken 37
* Laurie 46

## Trivia

Ken is (not) the Demon

During episodes of *No Rolls Barred Plays Blood On The Clocktower*, Ken has a tendency to be a complete agent of chaos, claiming to be the demon despite being on the good team.

## Instances

* In *Mayor Mayor On The Wall*, Ken (as the Chef) claimed to Blair that he was the demon. She didn't take him seriously, and immediately claimed to be the demon herself (despite being the Undertaker).
* In *Farmergeddon*, (released concurrently with *Mayor Mayor On The Wall*, so possibly recorded before) Ken was a minion but claimed to Blair that he was the demon.
* In *Fang Gu For Being A Friend* Tilly was talking about a hypothetical - "If you were the demon, Ken... and he answered "which I am". He was not.
* In *The Unbearable Madness of Being,* in an already chaotic game, Ken (as the Town Crier) claimed to be the demon to Dom. It was enough to drive Dom into near hysteria.
* In *Dom Was Right*, as soon as the first day began, Holly asked Ken straight out if he was the demon. He said he was. He wasn't.
* In *A Best Laid Plan*, Ken claimed he was not the demon. Or that maybe he was. He was.
* In *A Magic, Grand Vizier* Ken didn't claim to be the demon, but he did try to play as semi-outed minion. Sadly, because of his previous chaos, he wasn't completely believed.
* Sadly, a reputation for chaos meant that when Ken revealed the whole, actual truth in *A Royal Blunder*, Town didn't believe a word of it.

Let's Play NO THANKS

**Let's Play NO THANKS** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*Brooke - talk me out of it.* "
―Tom
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "yes please".
* We're in COVID restrictions, hence Zoom.
* We have sabotage, brinksmanship, tactics and screwing each other over. So, Board Game Club, then.
* Sullivan is reigning champion and giddy with it. We may be bullying him to punish him.
* French Sullivan is unsufferable.
* Nobody is sure Brooke knows the rules.
* Brooke's using unfair relationship-based pressure on Sullivan, but he's paying her back for it. She is a kind person, with two feet, although she may use them to kick dogs and trees down.
* Sullivan really should be scared at this point. Brooke's rage is simmering. At quite a fast boil.
* Jon's bluffing chips. The wheels may have fallen off his plan.
* The question is: do we believe that Adam forgot that final rule, or do we believe it was a long-term plan? See, this kind of thing is why everyone turns on Adam.
* Maanuv may never have seen BGC episodes, it seems.
* Sullivan is no longer a name, but a role similar to a scapegoat for the group. The former Sullivan is now the Bad Boy Bastard Beau Brown. It's quite complicated but no doubt it will all make sense once it's bedded in over the next few years. The only risk to our understanding would be if the whole name change thing is abandoned completely at the end of this episode and literally never mentioned again. So we're safe there.
* Tom: "what can I say, I'm a showman?"
* We're entering a reluctant commercial arrangement with the P.T.Barnum Estate. It's ~~Sullivan's~~ BBBBB's fault.
* We have chips in our pockets and fish in our lungs.
* Jon: "Seems like the less theme there is the more bullshit we pour onto the plate".
* Maanuv: "I hate to interrupt all the fun and improv for the game, but..." Ouch.
* Time for 15 minutes silent concentration on the gameplay, please.
* To be fair, we had been warned that Maanuv would want to... actually *play* the game.
* Maanuv wins the round only at the cost of comedy.
* We're dismissing the cuisine of an entire nation. Brooke is sanguine.
* Jon: "I'm listening. I like crumbs".
* Give ~~Sullivan~~ BBBBB a tiny bit of attention and he'll dance for hours.
* Tom: "When the bits stop, the winning starts". He takes the Championship.

## Trivia

* Game introduction and rules (although as it transpires, not comprehensive) by Adam.
* Maanuv makes their Board Game Club debut.
* This is the first episode in which Laurie doesn't appear.
* This is that milestone episode where they all changed names.
NRB x Twitch Launch Party

The **NRB x Twitch Launch Party** was the first livestream on the No Rolls Barred Twitch channel, broadcast on 4 August 2023 and uploaded as VOD on 7 August 2023.

## Notable moments

* It's Holly and Blair!
* They explain how Twitch works
* Teri wave! Hi Teri!
* We are introduced to the elements which feel like they'll be recurring segments: the *Thank You Song*, stream *Joke of the Day*, *Tea n Tea*, the *Wheel of Random* and *Chat vs Us*
* We have our first ever *Thank You Song -* Blair plays the ukulele and they both sing. Nobody in the room thought this was a good idea, Laurie is very dismissive
* The mods present a short list of jokes for voting on *Joke of the Day* - they're all pretty bad and pun-heavy, in the great NRB tradition. A chat poll chooses the winner: *What do you call a sandwich made out of Holly and Blair? A Blairwitch* - submitted by concreepthetrashking who gets a special VIP badge to the end of the stream

## Games Played

* **Herd Mentality** (our first *Chat Vs Us* game), Blair wins
* **Trial By Trolley** - Holly vs. Blair, with chat acting as Conductor and choosing the winner, Holly wins
* **What Next?** - co-op for Holly and Blair, with chat polls choosing from available options at key points

NRB x Twitch

**NRB x Twitch** is the name for No Rolls Barred's venture onto livestreaming platform Twitch at twitch.tv/norollsbarred\_. This was headed by Blair and Holly, with Laurie and Teri running things behind the scenes.

## History

On 25 July 2023, the beginning of NRB's presence on Twitch was announced on its socials, stating that streams would be "coming soon." The channel had been the former *Screenstalker* (later rebranded as PartsFUNknown) channel, which already had over 1600 followers at the time of the announcement. Laurie confirmed  that Twitch had approached Trident to trial board game-playthrough related content on the channel. Images of a Toad mushroom and a gavel on the channel's logo, officially revealed on 27 July, pointed toward the significant involvement of Blair and Holly on the channel. On 28 July 2023, NRB announced on its socials that the first stream would be on Friday 4th August 2023 at 6pm BST. At the end of *Let's Play MEN AT WORK*, a trailer for the livestream was revealed, featuring the games *Block Party*, *Sounds Fishy*, *Azul*, *Sushi Go Party*, and *Disney Villainous*.

The first stream was the *NRB x Twitch Launch Party* on Friday 4 August. It included elements which became regular features: a thank you song featuring Blair on the ukulele, a Joke of the Day section with submissions and votes by viewers, and a mystery wheel. By spending channel points, viewers would in the future be able to request an improvised song, receive "Holly's Law of the Day," or request a "Toad Tantrum."

Livestreams were scheduled weekly on Mondays, starting on 7 August 2023, although the schedule was interrupted in August 2023 after staffing issues. Previous streams were available as VOD on Twitch for a limited time, and via a Patreon-exclusive YouTube playlist. A highlights package was published via YouTube on 24 August 2023.

During the stream on 13 November 2023 it was announced that livestreaming was moving from Twitch to the NRB YouTube channel, at the end of the 3 month contract. YouTube streams would be shorter, but would continue on a weekly basis and include Sullivan as a regular 3rd cast member.

## Streams

There were 16 episodes of NRB x Twitch until 13 November 2023.

**Note**: Twitch VOD expires after a limited time, so the links below are likely no longer available. Streams are available on a Patreon-specific YouTube playlist. In keeping with this wiki's policy on paid content, these videos will not be linked here.

Let's Play SPYFALL

**Let's Play SPYFALL** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*Excellent detective work from both sides.*"
―Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "BYOBB".
* We're deep in COVID restrictions, hence Zoom.
* Isaac is defending BGB Champion.
* Tom: "I don't like [my coworkers] one bit, but I don't have to, to do my job". Adam: "That's every job you've ever had, Tom".
* Adam: "Details Blake, they call him".
* Laurie did really well with the first round. It's Luke's fault apparently.
* Adam's starting to move away from his WrestleTalk to his eventual NRB hosting style - it's subtle but it's definitely happening.
* Adam's improv theatre background is drawing heat on this one. Or maybe he's shady in any case.
* It's nice to see the elements continue to come together - some of the cast have yet to fully realise that they need to externalise their thoughts constantly, but they're getting there. The edit of the cards in the centre of the screen works well - and we have a way to show all competitors at once as well.
* Watching the dynamics of the groups is interesting too - there are still a couple of pretty distinct circles, although that fades fairly quickly, overlapping through Adam. By this point Tom has done City British Wrestling with the Wrestletalk crew, so he's definitely fitting in that circle.
* Elliott's guess was awesome.
* Has Oli got a streak yet? Luke's not helping.
* Laurie: "Luke, do you want to give it away?" Luke: "Get fucked!"
* Adam and Blair have that sibling energy going on.
* Tom: "I'm going to go home and spend some time, regrettably, with my family".
* Luke: "Shall we end this narrative then, that Luke's shit at this game?"
* Oli's not too proud for pity points. "From my mortal foe, Tom, as well - so sweet!"
* Laurie's showing his early mastery of board games. It's the proudest day of his life. He's our new Board Game Club Champion.
* We have our trophy.

## Scores

* Oli 1
* Tom 3
* Adam 4
* Blair 4
* Luke 4
* Elliott 8
* Isaac 8
* Laurie 16

## Trivia

* Game introduction and rules by Adam - still behatted after the Quizzlemania X8 head shaving. (If you don't know the other channels in the group (partsFUNknown, WrestleTalk and WrestleTalk Podcast) you should check them out - even if you're not interested in wrestling. Smart, funny people talking about things they love - it's fabulous.
* This episode predates the name change, so the channel is referred to as Phenoma-nerds.
* We're working on a sign off.

Let's Play QUIPLASH

**Let's Play QUIPLASH** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*It's the 10 year old glory of 'fartpants'.*"
―Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "heroes never die".
* We're in COVID restrictions, hence Zoom.
* Yes, we know it's not a board game. It is, however, a game of people competing to be funniest. Show-offs as far as the eye can see. It's staggeringly childish.
* Sullivan played football too long in the sun and he's very sunburned.
* Laurie's back as reigning champion.
* As this is Adam's first time on the internet, he accidentally tells the comment section not to comment on something. Bless.
* Laurie has a cool older boyfriend, who may have given him mono. Tom is Lady GaGa's dad.
* Blair with the call back.
* Sullivan has strangely muscular legs, but they're pale as a ghost.
* The secret to eternal life *is* listening to Sullivan laugh.
* Tom bringing the existential horror.
* We're getting cancelled any minute.
* Adam is uncomfortable with Blair's savage trash talk.
* Dom points out this would be a lot funnier if we were allowed to say funny things. You can't fault the logic.
* Tom: "You said a rude word, man, well done".
* Adam: "You do look like you would throw some plastic patio furniture through a chip shop window".
* Tom: "It made me laugh. Or smile anyway".
* Everyone gangs up on Adam. So it's a day with a y in it then?
* Adam sees his name, Adam votes for his name.
* Last round: Blair is about to become so funny. Lucie's going to say 'penis' for everything.
* "Barry" is going to reappear until everyone agrees it's hilarious.
* Tom: "I like sad kids, they're better than happy kids. Happy kids are a fucking nuisance".
* Adam's genuinely excited to win. There's only the slightest suspicion that they played on until that happened.

## Trivia

* Game introduction and rules by Adam.
* Lucie Pohl makes her debut on Board Game Club.
* Almost there with the sign-off.
Let's Play SKULL

**Let's Play SKULL** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*I know I'm not making any friends with this, but it did feel good.* "
―Jon
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "if this is your first Board Game Club, you have to fight". (Surprised its taken us so long to get here, to be honest.)
* We're in COVID restrictions, hence Zoom.
* This one is a bidding, bluffing game.
* Jonny High Jump is defending champion, on a hot streak. Blair is Bobby Littlelegs, the faithful sidekick. We now have a universe - with Superintendent Titwhistles on the case.
* Sullivan is loud already, but that's what happens when you give him a teeny character.
* When you play 2 cards, they look like the peach emoji, especially Laurie's. We have no further comment at this time.
* We could probably throw Blair quite a distance - does that tell us anything about how trustworthy she is?
* Elliott is abandoning all turn order and rules. It puts us in mind of the young Jonny High Jump.
* Skullivan Brown. Nice.
* Laurie's going for the drama with the full house.
* 2.63!
* "Suck it, Blair!" isn't really what we want for merch. What we want is "Eat Shit, Blair!" She's just not a team player though. OK, she is. She's easily the nicest member of BGC.
* Sullivan's doing it for the tv. ITV are picking it up for a full series - the Sully and Jon spin-off show the comments are demanding.
* Genesis of a meta: chanting Sullivan's name can peer pressure him into anything.
* Let's all pick on Adam. Adam: "Go fuck each and every one of yourselves".
* Adam: "Welcome to the one club. It's horrible here."

## Trivia

* Game introduction and rules by Adam.
* We get our signoff again, just the one.
Let's Play TELESTRATIONS III

**Let's Play TELESTRATIONS III** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*Bit chaser! Bit chasing! I see you for what you are!*"
―Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "it's always better in person".
* We're recording at the tail end of the UK COVID restrictions, hence Zoom - but the end is nigh.
* It's high summer in the UK, everyone's hot and trapped indoors.
* Maanuv is defending champion.
* Editing for Telestrations is always great - thanks, James?
* The timer got Maanuv.
* What on god's green earth is a legless pig cone?
* We seem to have forgotten that we *never* draw face-on in BGC.
* Laurie needed a practice pig.
* Points on the board!
* Brooke: "I forgot the axe!" Sullivan: "And any of the defining characteristics of a human being".
* Sadly, Tom's faces are improving.
* Sometimes as the pictures are revealed, we can all see where we're going to end up. It's not usually a good thing.
* A clear run through!
* We have ourselves a triple pigger - Jon says it's an NRB first.
* Tiny wiki mention! Woo-hoo for the meta!
* Adam's accusing Sullivan of being a bit-chaser.

Nathaniel Fairmont

Spoilers ahead!*This article contains spoilers for **Nathaniel Fairmont from NRB Plays Call of Cthulhu**. Be warned!*

## Physical description

### Species

Human, affected by Cthulhu-esque mutations.

## Appearances

### Appears in

NRB Plays Call of Cthulhu

**Nathaniel Fairmont** is the character played by Adam Blampied in the series NRB Plays Call of Cthulhu.

"*I am not a con man.*"
―Nathaniel
Nathaniel is definitely a priest, and not a conman with sticky fingers. He describes himself as 'mechanically very attractive' and 'an important member of the clergy'. His goals are shaped by his need for money and his desire to return to his sick daughter, which are directly correlated.

## Appearance

Nathaniel has a cross shaped scar covering the left side of his face, from the top of his eyebrow down to the top of his cheek. He wears a flowing cassock and an ornate cross necklace. He is 'mechanically very attractive' but also very short, describe by Adam as a 'sexy cube'.

He uses his cassock to hide a variety of things, including a carving knife and two pistols.

## Personality

He is shown to be shifty throughout, often repeating 'I am not a conman' when questioned by the other guests of the house. He is very good at what he does though, managing to successfully take valuables from Sir George Reek's corpse and the unconscious Scarlett Lindsey. Conversely, he is incredibly loyal to his family, shown in his pain hearing his daughter's cries and his determination to drive out with the valuable needed to pay for her treatment.

Within the series, he is notably close with Ivy Cordova, who sees him take George's wallet but chooses to ignore it. The two promise to aid each other in their endeavors there on out, plotting to drive out together.

## Biography

It is unsaid whether Nathaniel was ever part of the Church, although in his introduction, he claimed to be a 'very important member of the clergy'. Given his ease with stealing items, he has been stealing for a while and that the trip to Reek Manor was another opportunity for him to score some valuables. However, he does seem to believe in God to a degree, opting to pray when lost (even if that was a lost cause) and showing a great amount of fear at the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

While never mentioning a wife, Nathaniel does have an unnamed daughter who is incredibly sick. His daughter is his main source of determination in life as he wants nothing more than to get back to London before she passes.

## Trivia

* Nathaniel is part of Adam's Fairmont family of characters. He is implicitly related to Piston Fairmont who appeared in the Cyber Battle Wars one-shot of CBW, and likely based on Preston Fairmont from Mansions of Madness.
	+ In a future campaign, Red DREAD Redemption, Adam would play a character named Marcus G. Fairmont. We can also assume that those two are implicitly related.
Let's Play DECEPTION: MURDER IN HONG KONG II

**Let's Play DECEPTION: MURDER IN HONG KONG II** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*I would like to direct the jury to please ignore the attorney's ravings*"
―Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "you can't be tried for the same crime twice".
* Will *one of our players get away with murder*? Will *their accomplice help them out*? And what *exactly did the witness see*?
* We're in COVID restrictions, hence Zoom.
* Blair is the People's Forensic Investigator. She's herding these cats beautifully.
* We get to play along at home.
* Rosie doesn't want to be ruled out so quickly, thank you very much.
* Ah, theatre training, got to love it.
* Steamed buns are the food you can eat anywhere, any time. That's very ... damning?
* It's looking very bad for Laurie - but is it just too obvious to be our answer?
* We're juggling the numbers now - we only have 5 guesses, did we just waste one? How suspicious was that?
* Jon's convinced it's Laurie. No, Sullivan. No, Laurie. No, Sullivan. No, Laurie. No, Sullivan.
* Sometimes you have something you want to say and sometimes it's just nice to talk.
* Rosie goes from silence to furious in the blink of an eye. She'll discuss things, but she's not taking any questions.
* Pete is suspicious, but he's not *suspicious*.
* Laurie: "Jon, Jon - stop helping!"
* Sullivan's defence starts with shouting. The Chief is with us.
* Is Adam really dodgy or is it the meta at work?
* Brooke emerges as a serious suspect right at the end.
* Rosie and Jon make a final push for the correct answer - but is it enough to convince the group? No, no it's not.
* Will there be a day when Laurie doesn't get cross and bear grudges? Sure. But not this day.
* Sullivan is a disturbingly gleeful murderer.

## Trivia

* Game introduction and rules by Adam (past and present).
* A second go with Deception, to link with its feature in the Masterpieces series.
* We're getting to our proper signoff, but we're not there yet.

Magical Mr Monopoly

**Magical Mr Monopoly** is the first episode of Board Game Cosplay, in which Blair makes a cosplay outfit of Magical Mr Monopoly - an anime shoujo version of Mr Monopoly from *Monopoly*.

## Backstory

The idea first arose when Adam genuinely and seriously asked Blair how long it would take her to make an anime Mr Monopoly cosplay. Blair responded 'probably about a month'.

The name is also a reference to the Cats (2019) movie, specifically the song 'Magical Mr Mistoffelees'. This fully inspired Blair to make a shoujo version of Mr Monopoly - or, as it's otherwise known, Magical Girl Mr Monopoly.

## Equipment

Equipment suggested/needed (in alphabetical order):

* Box cutter
* Clingfilm
* Cutting mat
* Duct tape
* Fabric glue
* Foam clay
* Glue gun
* Heat gun
* Needles and pins
* Pattern paper
* Pinking shears
* Scissors
* Sewing machine
* Superglue
* Respirator
* Rotary tool

## Tips and Tricks

1. When cutting out a skirt, fold the fabric so when you fold it out, you have one continuous piece, making for less sewing later.
2. When making a pattern for your fabric, do not make it too tight - making it too skintight will make it difficult to breathe and be comfortable.
3. To cut a stretch fabric, use pinking shears to ensure the fabric does not fray.
4. Don't use a heat gun on a carpet, you may burn it.
5. Googly eyes can be painted over to look like metal rivets. Bonuses - lighter, less expensive, and can be used as a cat toy.

UNO - Full Game w/ ALL The House Rules

**UNO - Full Game w/ ALL The House Rules** is a full game version of some of the gameplay featured in *Is UNO Actually Good?*. The cast play UNO with all house rules activated.

Again, Luke does our intro, we watch Laurie's screen.

'Eat shit, Blair!' is an established running joke already.

This version does drag a *little* for our cast, compared to *UNO - Full Game With CLASSIC Rules*. There are many comments about the protracted nature of the game, complaints about aching backs and aging and the idea that the game may actually never end. Adam finally points out that eventually they'll all die, so the game will come to an end then, at worst. This doesn't stop any of them making moves to prevent each other winning, of course.

* No Holds Board, a limited series of playthroughs of board games hacked to have a wrestling theme. The series features many of the current NRB cast, as well as others from the WrestleTalk channels.
* Quizzlemania, a wrestling-themed quiz hosted by Adam Blampied. This began during COVID lockdown as a weekly quiz, reducing in frequency as restrictions eased. Participants include wrestling journalists and cast of WrestleTalk and No Rolls Barred.
* City British Wrestling (City British Wiki) is a wrestling-themed RPG which features 2 main seasons and a number of canon in-universe one-shot episodes. Tom acts as games master and the regular cast features Adam Blampied, Laurie Blake, Luke Owen, Oli Davis, Lolo Brow, Rosie Nicholls and Sullivan Beau Brown. CBW was originally called No Rolls Barred, which inspired the final name of the Phenoma-nerds board games channel when it was rebranded in January 2021.

There is a significant crossover of cast, staff and crew between partsFUNknown and No Rolls Barred (and other channels in the group).

* The callback to Daddy Ben's toilet shenanigans that literally nobody was waiting for.

* We get a lot of Pete and Pete-adjacent bits. Assuming Pete is *actually* an overgrown teenager with poor social habits and a pronounced Geordie accent.

Adam's statement on his resignation explained that he was stepping back from YouTube to protect his own mental health and those around him.
