Hey everyone! Jake here. We're looking to record a nice cozy Hearthside chat this evening. Hit us with your questions! As always you are welcome to ask both on and OFF the rails questions. Thank you!

My very best,

Jake

Comments

Parrot Paramour

Have you landed on what the next saga will be once Campaign 3 wraps up? Band of boobs, Cold Boy Winter, more Twilight Sanctorum? I'd personally love to see a short-medium run in Eldermourne! You guys all rule and congrats to Caldwell and his fam!

wick
>>156373419

How did you even write this out already

Stephanie R.

If you had to design a character for each of the other players, what race, class and subclass would you pick?

Kellyd

What's yalls process for recording short rests? I know they're not immediately after the episode, so do you relisten before recording the SR? Does Murph write a recap, everyone just tries to remember, etc.? PS hate the show never listen to it

David

Hot Boy Summer 3 when?

Alex W

murph (but also everyone): over the many campaigns and pcs everyone has played, what are character choices that have surprised you most?

Gabagooblin

How are things going in Critter Country?

John G

How did you all meet each other?

iamnotjackblack

Emily, how have you been making your commander deck? Are you buying the pre-made ones or making your own? Also when you look for a commander what sort of things stick out as fun for you?

Alysha Knaphus

If you guys were on a trivia team, what would your trivia team name be, and what would each person’s specialty in info be? Ps Wish my trivia team luck in our finals lol

Eliza V.

What flavor of ice cream would your campaign 3 characters be if they were flavors? Thanks! Y’all are the best!

Charlie Nicholls

I’m moving to New York City in April, what are your favorite memories from being young in NYC?

Kresh

Who would win in a wiener-off? Scoutsmaster Denny, Ren, or Olwen the Sullen?

Crow

If you all did a one shot everyone picking a character from one of the different mini campaigns and campaigns with no doubles across who would each of you choose as your character and how do you think they’d interact?

Daniel Drury

Any Holiday special planned? Also do you have any live shows coming out soon?

Rover Bernhard

Will you guys revisit Eldermourne soon?

Miche St P

For Emily and Murph, can you tell us about your Warhammer armies? Do you play 40K exclusively and what armies do you play?

Jesse Dunlap

With another campaign coming close to the end, what have you all seen, discussed, planned, or been inspired by when thinking of an all new campaign? Would it be strange to leave bahumia?

Jacob LeBouff

What systems are you thinking of trying next, other than pathfinder? Maybe Call of Cathulu or Mutants and Masterminds? Is there any TTRPG that you would definitely not wanna play? Also, is the video game still being worked on? Just curious Love y’all like a celebrity, mwah

James Wagner

A little bit of a lore question: Murph and Emily have done a really good job making lore for eladrins. We know Callie is a spring eladrin, her mother is winter, and her sister is summer, so is there a certain season individual eladrin are born as? Does that influence their personalities or does their personality influence the season that they eventually grow into as their main form?

Hayley Carter

If you guys went to Blazing Babe (Faechella, Emo Nevers Dies) what would you wear?

Kay

Everyone always asks Jake what kind of campaign he would want to DM, but screw that question! Jake, what kind of campaign would you want to “force” Emily, Murph, or Caldwell to run for you?

brennan dahl

Not a dnd question BUT if you guys had to choose one person in this group to sacrifice who would it be

Dave 3D Art

Howdy 2 Crew, this is a rather specific question that I think Murph can answer. If Campaign 3 is Final Fantasy VII, and Hot Boy Summer is Final Fantasy X2 which Final Fantasy are campaigns 1, and 2? Also, how is Zinkie the Zard doing?

ABigdude

For the entire 2 crew! What up from crittsburgh PA! (when are you coming back?) But for my actual question, would you consider jumping into the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay from cubicle 7 as one of the systems to try out? I think Murphs’ love for Warhammer would make it a cool universe for you all to play in.

Dippity_Dip

Since it’s the wicked era right now, are you guys fans of musicals? If so, what are yall’s favorites? !

Rah

What books or audiobooks are you reading/listening to right now? Highly recommend the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook!

wick

How do you guys feel about the development of the NEU (NADDPOD extended universe) at this point and what characters are you surprised aren’t a part of it? Murph has mentioned Shadow, but I really feel as though there’s space for Frazier??

Kyle White

Emily what are your favorite operas and/or classical pieces? Ps. I sing opera and would love to have y’all come to a performance of mine if the stars ever align!!!

Mica K

If you could meet an octopus and form a friendly, yet surprisingly intimate relationship with them, would you? And follow up, how much do you think the octopus would like you? Love yall and hope the hearthside is warm today!

G-Money

What are your favorite Magic: The Gathering commanders? I love Kambal, Profiteering Mayor and Galadriel, Light of Valinor!

Vivian Reinhardt

If you had to predict your top Spotify artists this year, who would you think made the list?

Elle McCaughrean

Hey, Murph, what's your go to Wawa hoagie order?

Laura DW

Which reality TV show (competition or otherwise) would your character be on, and what kind of contestant would they be?

Keanu DRAMAFACE

For all the non-parents: What will Caldwell’s / Jake’s kids call all of you? Duncle Caldwell for Jake’s kid? Uncie Murphie and Auntie Emily has a nice ring to it.

Allison Talbert

I’d love a fantasy book with a well written female protagonist, any recommendations?

Kyler Cunningham

Of those in the 2-Crew playing Magic, what is your favorite commander deck or color combination, and why?

Jasmine

Emily, you previously recommended a book that has become one of my all time favourites (priory of the orange tree) What have you been reading in 2024? I guess the others can answer to if you want, I'm not your mother

Hunter.osty

A question I’m sure a lot of people are wondering including myself, are there any ideas or plans set for the next campaign! Anything you guys could leak to get us excited for it?!

Dungeon Depths

If each of you were a D&D character in real life, which class/subclass do you think suits your combination of personality, hobbies, and professional skillset best? Which ability score would be your highest, and which would be your dump stat?

Lucas

Which NPC so far in all of Campaign 3 have you felt most drawn to?

Mak

If you had to pick any npc from any campaign to give your eulogy who would you pick?

Kellyd
>>156374121

Also Jake if it helps I just went to yours and Amir's show in Chicago, hi from chi

LayinBrix

I recently started DM'ing and a friend suggested using ChatGPT as a sort of DM Diary. It has been insanely helpful (making riddles and clues on the fly during a session) and I was wondering what Murph/everyone else thought of using writing AI as a tool to help catalogue and give campaign advice?

Holton Hester

Hey 2crew! Are y’all going to transition to the 2024 rules of DnD? Or stick with classic 5e as y’all have been doing

Fergus May

Has Emily considered contact microphones for the drum kit?

Ninjakeyblder

For the entire 2 crew! If you all had to swap characters for one session who would you like to play? Alternatively, if the band of boobs swapped bodies with each other, how would they react?

Abbie T

No spoilers necessary of course, but will we get to see more of what the Band of Boobs have been up to in the Astral plane? If nothing else, I need to know: would Pawpaw and Foster be friends? Happy hoglidays & a merry Hogust to all

Barney Fritz

Hey gang and Jake, happy holidays! Nice and simple one for you: what video game would you want to run as a campaign, and why is it Crash Bandicoot?

Ryan Dilks

This question is for everyone: Sup?

Dakota Smithson

What’s everyone’s favorite pc or npc voice of all naddpod?

Darkrisky

This question is for Jake. During Campaign 1, Hardwon took a feat for Magic Initiate. We all know he had Shield as his first level spell, but he should have gotten two cantrips as well and I never recall him using any. Did you take cantrips? If so what were they? If not and it was just a miss, what would you take now that you’ve played more?

Ally Grant

Out of interest - The podcast has the tagline "the campaign after the campaign", which linked thematically really closely for campaign 1 (e.g. the boobs followed Thiala et al). Do you still try and make this fit with new campaigns, or is it just a cool tag now?

Meapyboy1234567

What would you say to an Animated Show of Campaign One similar to the style of Vox Machina? This is just a question i had thought up a little while ago and have just been storing in my brain until another Hearthside popped up.

OlGhettoGandalf

For season 3, it looks like there was a focus to not bring on guests to star on the pod. Was that NY design?

Julia

For Em and Murph: can we please get a critter country update?

Elana Kadish

if you had to assemble a dnd party of naddpod pcs from across campaigns, who would be in your party (can be optimized for strength, goofs, or any other criteria you deem most important)

Jana Clements

What’s your guys personal favorite campaign? Or just favorite thing to record like mixed bag or short rest etc? You guys are truly amazing and bring so much joy to my day!

Jeremy Skeele

I've been working my way through the backlog, and there's a stretch from mid Campaign 2 to Early Campaign 3 where Emily makes a lot of Fortnite references (Fia Fortnite dirging, Foster as a back bling, etc.) Do any of you guys play Fortnite, or is it just Emily?

Matthew J

Do you plan to use the recently released 2024 rules for the next campaign or mini arc that uses 5e, are you planning to stick with the original rules and just add in new spells, or do you think you will do some kind of mixture? Also, if you do plan to switch over, are there any changes that you’re really excited about?

Carly Collette

Welcome back to the hearthside and Congrats to Caldwell on the newest addition! Have y’all thought about potentially doing a multiverse of madness/time quangle style adventure with character from different campaigns playing together? If so, what combo of PCs would you be most excited to see meet up?

Katie

I forget if she’s talked about it already but would love to hear anything Emily has to say related to the music of this season!

casey eats pizza

For everyone. If someone came to you to make an amusement park attraction based off NADDPOD, what each of you want to be there

Diana

Can we get a critter country (aka Murph and Emily's yard) update? My boyfriend and I took in a stray cat last month and where thinking "what would Emily and Murph do?" when introducing her to our older cat 😺

Quinn LaCasse

Question for all: does performing DnD for a living take away from the fun of enjoying home games? Do you feel the need to be more performative or have a harder timing getting motivated for a home game after putting so much into the show?

CJ the wise

Hey gang! What is an encounter or arc that you have the idea for but never got to run either due to time/players skipping it/ didn't fit the theme?

Jasper Cartwright

Is there any big "What If" moments that stick out from any campaigns. Any times you thought If that had gone different or the roll had been different it would have massively changed the story?

StormBreaker

Jake DM when? Perhaps for the "Oops! all Grinch" campaign?

Bgn87

What are your favorite moments from campaign 3?

Joseph

Question for everyone, but especially Murph: What is the likelihood that a Bahumia source book will ever be published?

Rob

What classes would you like to see your fellow players play in a future party, that they haven’t played already? And if jake wants to keep up his fighter forte, what would you like to see him multiclass with? 5e or PF 2E included

Ariel Feola

Are we ever going to get to go back to Eldermourne and the Third Mates? Love the show and everything y’all do!

Jenna H

For Murph: in kayfabe Jon Moxley (Dean ambrose) recently killed Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryant) by putting a plastic bag over his head and suffocating him to finish a ppv. Out of kayfabe Bryan was retiring and put over his good friend on the way out. What is your favorite way someone has been killed or retired in wrestling?

Braxton Robinson

As this is the one year anniversary of you guys answering my "which bird would you want to kill you" question, I believe it would be fitting to ask another fowl one. Which bird would you like to fall in love with? And would you like to be bird sized and live in its nest, it be your size and live with you, or keep the same sizes for both and have a hybrid home?

Tessa Smith

What are you most looking forward to this holiday season? (Food, people, music, events, etc). And with C3 coming to an end, and some previous mention that your next campaign(s) may be shorter, are you looking at including more guest spots, similar to C1 arcs? PS thanks for all of your hard work, you guys are the best. I hope you all have a great holiday season :)

Holly Painter

If you could recreate any fictional character into dnd (or any ttrpg system really) to play for a one shot or campaign, who would it be?

Roba Dekamo

With so many amazing expansive worlds in fiction, if you had to insert diddy Kong into one of them, which one would he be the least abrasive in? My take: diddy Kong could be dropped in the modern Star Wars universe with next to no impact

Totally Offside

Question for all. If the Hot Boys of summer got invited to Stiegl and Cavill bird's wedding, what gift would each of them bring? Would any of them show up empty handed and what would be their excuse, if so?

Jean-Luc A

Hello to everyone, This question is mainly directed at Murph but the others with DM experience (looking at everyone but my buddy Jorts, sorry) - When you're building the framework for a campaign and world, how do you work out the scaling of challenge ratings and player levels to keep players engaged? I'm building a world for my daughters to play in for their first time playing D&D and I want to make sure they are getting to experience the entire 1-20 level spectrum (because who doesn't want to put the power of a wish spell in a 5 year old's hands?) Thank you so much for your time!

Emma Leslie

What animal should humans domesticate next?

Charles

You're given access to a magical kitchen and tasked with making your ideal sandwich. You have access to any ingredient, condiment, sauce, bread type, cooking appliance, whatever you need, it just needs to be a sandwich. What are y'all making?

Parrot Paramour
>>156373419

Nope! Pure luck on the timing. I would have had a more interesting question if I'd prepared it ahead of time lol

victheterror

hey centaurs, which NPC do you think would cook/host the best hoglidays banquet? there’s potentially two different answers there but do with that what you will c: (p.s. thanks for all the laughs and cries this year and congrats again to Caldwell, Susanna, and family!)

Damodar

Hello the pinch, do you folks have any plans to review more DnD movies? I crave a good Murphy gaslighting. PS I almost crashed my listening to the Grinch Night mixed bag 10/10 episode.

TheLazyHusky

Jake, why do almost all of your characters have quirky Gi symptoms? Do you struggle with GI issues?

abi_all_pink

If any animal of your choice were to appear right in front of you at this second, wearing any type of hat, what animal and what kind of hat do you pick? Also keep in mind the size of the hat can vary.

Evan

Since campaign 3 is wrapping up relatively soon, do you guys have any plans for the future? Campaign 4? Smaller mini adventures? Maybe experimenting more with Pathfinder?

Laurawr

Any plans for after Campaign 3? Are you thinking about revisiting the world of 4-shots like Twilight Sanctorum, or Hot Boy Summer, or going straight into campaign 4? Or maybe new content altogether? Love the show come back to Boston! Also congrats to Caldwell!

AU Emily, Anna Lee Hatchetworth

It's Christmas Day in Whoville, and you're enjoying a lovely feast with your family, and the Grinch. After he inexplicably saved Christmas, it only seemed right to invite him to enjoy the day. But then it hits you like age 40 hit Cinnamon. The Grinch's originally terrible demeanor changing to sudden and exuberant support of Christmas could be explained by microcardia, and then a cardiac event during the period of exertion trying to push the sleigh. As the greatest cardiac surgeon Whoville has ever seen, you feel obligated to help this strange furry green man. You rush the Grinch to Whoville memorial hospital for an emergency series of tests where your worst fears are confirmed. Without a heart transplant within 48 hours, the Grinch will die. The odds of finding a matching donor heart within this time period are astronomically low. You tell your wife, the hospital's Chief of Medicine, the grim news. To which she responds, "If it were me, I would want to know. But the odds of saving him are so low, and he's finally truly happy. Maybe it's best to let him go with a smile on his face." While you're considering whether or not to let the Grinch die happy and ignorant, you hear a comically loud "WHOOPSIE DAISY" from outside. Almost immediately after, you see a furry green man with accents of grey swing to his death from a string of Christmas lights he seemed to be attempting to steal from the hospital. ID found on the body is that of one Damien Grunch, the Grinch's father. Testing concludes that the Grinch's father is indeed a match for a heart transplant, and had a healthy heart. One problem: He wasn't an organ donor. Do you steal his father's heart, saving the Grinch, but returning him to his Grinchy self? Or do you let the Grinch pass, unaware he ever could have survived, but still knowing true joy?

Connor Pryor

Hello! Never asked a question before! I am wondering if you were to make a duo out of all the characters you’ve had in all the NADDPOD campaigns, who would you pair up and which duo would beat the other duos?

Krysha Syrin

We all know that green & pink are very in right now thanks to the new Wicked film. If you had to recast Wicked with existing characters in the extended NADDPOD verse (the NEU) & lore, who would you cast alongside the Grinch as Elphaba/the Wicked Witch of the West & why?

Stig

Do y'all have plans or desire to create any sci-fi (or sci-fi-heavy sci-fan) content?

Katelyn

What is Emily Reading right now? I have read almost every book she's recommended and they are always fire

Cole Gensler

Hello lovelies! I must simply ask, what is both your favorite Caldwell moment and the biggest "Come on man.." moment.

Jarod W

Have you guys ever had to do a second take of a scene because it either went too much off the rails or chaotic? If so, what was your favorite moment that got cut from the release episode.

Laura !

what is the process that an episode goes through before it get released?? i’m always curious about how many passes an episode gets to make it so polished! great work as always gang keep grinching it up

StormBreaker

As a DM with brand new players, is it better to start them off with battlemaps or theater of the mind?

Michael Singer

I would just like to ask why? Love y’all ❤️

Devon Virgin

For Murph, what’s the coolest thing you’ve done as a young uncle (youn-cle)?

Nick Nelson

Are there any games or books y’all are working through lately that have wanted you to make a new setting to play dnd in?

Michael K

When Campaign 3 was first being teased - Mothership was originally going to be called "Alan Inc" (Pronounced like Alanis from Campaign 1). Because of this - I always thought Alanis was going to pop up at some point throughout the campaign and have some level of responsibility for creating Alexandrite. Was that ever a part of the plan? When did the change from Alan Inc. to Mothership happen in the creative process?

Lulu_ Wi_

Has Murph ever changed the amount health of an enemy. Something like: Hardwon attacks an enemy and it would live with 1 hp but it would be so cinematic that Hardone would kill them right know so Murph made the enemy to have less hp? Bonus question: Will we get more Trinyvale Crossovers. Will the Triplets ever visit Eldermourne? Greetings from Germany I love you guys.

The Fun Yaunt

I’ve noticed that Campaign 3 hasn’t featured any guest PCs— was that a conscious choice or a result of outside factors? I’m very curious!

Mattlikesfries

What’s your favourite Fall/Winter beverage?

Justin Gayler

For the gang, and then Murph, what setting do you want to explore or live in for C4? Another Bahumia adventure or the return to the Seas of Eldermourne? Another new exciting location? I love the settings that get crafted in each campaign and can't wait for the next one!

Kyler Cunningham

Seeing as how C3 is about to be coming to a close, are there any potential hints or teases we could get for what is in store in the future with C4? Theming, inspiring materials, new or returning setting, etc.! Also, much love for the whole crew ❤️❤️

Philip Meade

What deer puns went unused when Balnor made his surprise appearance?

Patrick C McAuliffe

Animorphs related question for the crew: there is a 'Prince Jake' running joke throughout the series. Their alien buddy always calls Jake 'Prince Jake,' to which Jake responds 'Dont call me Prince.' The alien invariably responds 'Yes, Prince.' To the rest of the crew: does Murph spoiling Animorphs come off as kind of intentional given the context of a high-status Jake bit?

Alec Rudek

Hey all! What are your tips for improving the remote play dnd experience? My group has been meeting weekly for years over discord and roll20 since one of our players moved out of state . I'm so grateful that we have a group that consistently gets together and plays and I'd love to find ways to bring more of that In person energy into our sessions. Thanks!!

Carly Collette

Gotta throw a slightly off the rails question in here as well! Your characters are getting together for a Cricksgiving feast: what dish is everyone bringing and who’s in their hogliday cups the quickest?

Evan

Hey guys, quick question, but what's happening with Gunk? I miss him 🥺

Paige Kosa

Howdy doodle, two crew! With Thanksgiving coming up, I’m looking forward to one of my favorites: cream cheese and olives. What are some side dishes y’all enjoy? Alternatively, what would Duck Squad bring to Friendsgiving? Stay cozy!

likedafish

Rank the Sonic characters on how well they would survive Halloween (Grinch Night)

Scarlett B

Question for the whole crew: Oh no! While taking a well deserved rest on a Feywild beach, Duck Team are swept away by a magical tsunami and dropped on a deserted island. Who survives, and who resorts to cannibalism first?

leemurs

Hi Naddpoodles This is a little bit longer so I understand if you don’t include it, but I think would make for a really cool hearthside chat discussion now that the second main Bahumia campaign is coming to close. I recently re-listened to C1 , and was reminded me of a darker alternate universe version of the ending that I thought of back when I first finished C1, and I would like to hear everyone’s thoughts on what that would have meant for their characters. Moonshine: What if the solution with Pendergreens never came through and she instead got her way and played the sacrifice card and became the Cursed Queen of the Nine Hells? How would her otherwise kind and hospitable character progressively buckle under the crown’s pressure? Also what if she accepted the thinking cap’s and Tijuana’s statements of her being the Queen of the Elves, I felt Murph mentioned it a few times but Moonshine brushed it off. Hardwon: What if instead of being allowed to retire peacefully to the Crick like he wanted, he had to own up to the responsibility of being the first true wielder of the United Queens Hammer in an age and become the Bastard King of the Mountain and essentially be King of all Dwarvenkind. How would he handle that responsibility in addition to the vitriol in response to him being a half elf. Beverly: Beverly has always been a little zealous in how he viewed his idols, Pelor, Thialla and his father. However, throughout their adventures Thialla breaks her oath, kills Pelor, and his father joins forces with Akarot, aka the devil himself. Also remember that Beverly almost joined up himself with both Thialla and Akarot on separate occasions. Deeply affected by the loss of everyone he looked up to I think his naturally zealous nature might eventually see the solution as being having to rise to Godhood himself, becoming the Gilded God (I got gilded from Toegold), and become what those he looked up to couldn’t live up to. Would he became twisted by power like Thialla or be cool like Pelor?

Rob

Which naddpod pc/npc would be best suited to a 1v1 in a dark room with the grinch? Both contestants have a lead pipe

John EldenRing

Hey gang, minus papa caldwell but if you could have him email his answer to [email protected] that would be appreciated. My question is, Will we be seeing pathfinder again? And if so anything youd be willing to share about that would warm my little heart ❤️

Kyle Welch

What completely innocuous moments haunt you as you fall asleep? Like calling your teacher mom.

Adri

If you had a historical obsession when you were younger, what was it ?

Cullen Driscoll

If you could make an apperence on one tv show what would it be? And conversely what star do you most want to play dnd with/guest on Naddpod?

Hammy

Where’s the hatch?

Andrew Flye

Coming off of the Hot Boys... We now know they're in the Rogue Timeline... But what do you think Tread, Dave, Mac and Mavrus ended up doing once they split up in the main timeline, between campaigns 1 and 3?

dicejelly

Hi there! love the pod and have for a long time. I'm an avid pathfinder DM and absolutely adore the system, so much so it's sometimes hard for me to go back to 5e. the pathfinder oneshot was a great time, is there a pathfinder campaign in naddpod's future?

Olban coello

If you had to choose between fighting 100 10 year Olds or 1 gorilla which would you choose

grace

When can we expect that low magic one shot DMed by Jake?

Andrew Whitford

What football teams do you guys actually root for, and why does Murph look like the offensive coordinator for the Eagles (Kellen Moore) go birds

Danjo

To Emily and Murph: any advice on being creative partners with your life partner? My partner and I have been trying to work on some comics together but finding the time and energy to work out how to fit our different work styles together can be tough To Jake: how you holdin up man everything ok

King Wonderbread

What is y'all's least favorite thing about what you do currently?

Tieler Soumas

Hey all! I hope the start of the Hoglidays are treating ya well! Here is a bit of a curveball of a question for you: if you were turned into a Pokemon, which one do you think you'd be and why? Now this isn't necessarily what your favorite one is, but rather which one do you think you're personality might line up best with! anyway, I hope y'all are doing great, Happy Hoglidays!

Eva

are you a christmas music before or after thanksgiving person? my mom refuses to hear xmas music until after thanksgiving day and that has passed onto me

Colee

Who is your “hear me out”? (person/character that is not conventionally attractive but you’re still willing to tell your friends that you find them attractive with the caveat of hear me out on this).

Katelyn

Fuck/Marry/Kill/Adopt the Hot boys of summer

Niko R.

Ask-ford and you shall receive! Emily is there a class or type of character that you’ve been dying to play but haven’t had a chance because they haven’t fit the campaign or one-shot? (The rest of y’all can answer too, but I guess Jake will have to come up with his own sweaty pun to introduce the question <3)

Skootsby

Important question: tea, coffee, or hot chocolate in these cold winter months?

rhapsody2000

Would any of you consider running a full campaign in another system? Not just Pathfinder but Call of Cthulhu, shadow run or cyberpunk

Flying Mongeese

For everyone: your characters have interacted with many different universes (Sonic, Donkey Kong, Gex, Flintstones). I’m curious what other properties you would like to see your characters interact with. What property and which of your characters do you think would be funniest/most interesting?

Jennifer Barnes

Love the pod, my question is for Murphy, would you ever release any kind of DM notes for the realm of Bahomia? I have been running a Campaign for non listeners with your world and I've relistened to each episode about 30 times in order to do this. (Still go back before each session to listen to specific parts) This game has been ongoing for 3 years and your notes would be so helpful. Thanks

Ashley Hoggard

What are some of the non-campaign episode ideas you've considered but never brought fully to the feed (yet)?

Big Green

Will we ever get to see Jake watch the rest of Dragon Ball Z or any other anime?

Katelyn

What thanksgiving dish are you in spirit, and why

EdwardBoyo

Hellllo, [GANG]! Any chances of any critter updates? Even the small moments, because those are still precious.

Dave 3D Art

Howdy 2 Crew, Have you ever considered doing another all night stream much like you did with Tomb of Horrors back in the days of SCOOB? Logistically I understand the complexity of such an arrangement, but the world needs more: Matt Damon Bathwater, naughty pistachios, and Bevnor. Kindest regards.

J BR

How do you think your characters from the beginning of the campaign would react to meeting their future selves? I've been doing a relisten to prepare for the finale and everyone has grown so much. (P.S. I wanted to say thank you all for inspiring me as a creative, you are all so talented!)

Sydney

Are we getting a Jake DM anytime soon??

Ciphonn

Why now?

garett144

Hey an update from the previous hearthside chat about the fun summertime snack of a banana and mayo sandwich. You all talked about how it was missing something savory, well that is because it was. I forgot an ingredient, it was peanut butter.

Jasmine

Question for all the boobs, what is your favourite part of the Christmas dinner, and what is the one part of a roast dinner that you would throw to the fires of hell?

Amy Rad

If time were not a factor, what new hobby or skill would you each pick up?

Katelyn

You have to apprentice under one of your characters, which one would you want to study under for 3 years?

Ricky the Moist

Sup 2 crew and Murph, how’s it hangin? Among all the characters you’ve all played on this podcast, who all do you think would be friends? Who do you think would get into a fist fight first? I think Mac and Hardwon likely end in a fight

Smash

Are there any dream guests you'd want to have either as a player or as another justice for DnD court?

Zach K

Hey everyone! I know you’ve talked about it in the past, but I’ve always wanted a Bahumia source book! Do you think you’ll ever explore the idea of releasing your own book? Love the show!

Celeste H

First off, congrats to Caldwell and the family! My question: if you were isekai’d into your favorite movie or TV show, how long would you live?

Brian Yee

Why the lack of guests for campaign 3, and will we expect guests for future campaigns?

Erin Grand

What are your dream live show tour ideas for the next few years?

Transfemmes4murph

favourite burrito fillings? #teamtubbrisket

With Hungry Dave going to Dental school, Mavrus and Coral going to Gladehome, what are your visions for where the Bonfreres in middle age? Where do they end up? And is there any chance for a middle aged highschool reunion arc for the boys?

Sean Irwin

Are there any story/character moments that you were dissappointed didn't get enough time or no time at all?

The Broox

Do you think you could beat one one-year-old in a fight? How about two two-year-olds? Three three-year-olds? Are what age do you loose confidence in your ability to win the fight? At the upper limits of human lifespan do you think the fights become winnable again? Could you take 97 97-year-olds?

Katherine

Do you guys have any current characters (ideas or fictional from other media) that are currently living rent free in your head?

Rain

Any chance we could see Dungeon Docent DMily for C4? 👀

Jack Tanner

Question for the NADDPOD bard Emily! There's been some fun spooky / investigative music used in Twilight Sanctorum and parts of campaign 3. I adore that music and would love to listen to it outside of the podcast. Do you plan on releasing your newer music? Thanks!

Nick Lerche

Can we expect some more Axford DM content soon? After that Blazing Babe arc I started relistening to Twilight Sanctorum. Emily's so good at world building and it's really fun to see Murph in the player seat. Also when is Jake gonna try DMing?!

Joseph

Emily: what D&D classes would you assign to all of the familiars your characters have had over the various campaigns. And also which one of them would win in a battle-royale style fight?

Heavy Harry

How often are yall farting per day? Do you take a shit when the urge to fart arises? When you do fart, are you taking a big inhale out of curiosity? Are you rolling the car window down when you fart and are driving alone? Have you ever had a sharp fart? I speak for the entire naddpod Fandom when I say this is fucking paramount.

Tralan

I'm a big lore-head for fantasy worlds, so I wonder: has Murph written off the wall lore that hasn't seen the of day? Ex: In The Elderscrolls Vivec's spear is the penis of a deadric prince. Or one of the emperors is born from a hillside.

skullswampy

hi 2crew! as someone who has recently gotten into the final fantasy series and started with ffvii, which installment would you recommend i play next? wishing you a very cozy hogliday season

Dome Fossil

Any excitement over the new PHB or DMG? Thoughts on any changes or rules/spells/subclasses you want to explore?

Gavin Cruse

Hiya, I am nearing the finale of six years of dnd between two separate campaigns. I have an epic crossover planned with both these groups taking on Tiamat in a multi-stage WoW raid. It will certainly take us 10 hours or more. I ask Dice Christ's blessings for this final confrontation, and wonder if there was any advice you could give for endings. Finales are hard and, though I'm confident I can manage, I want to ensure all are satisfied when the dust settles.

Myka Donati

Let's settle this once and for all: Highland Cows, Yaks, or Bison. Which do you like the most?

Melissa MacDoyle

Very serious question for the duncle, docent, daddy Murph and Jace. What is your favourite material for dice to be made of and why? Think metal, glass or resin

Joey O'Day

My question is for Papa Smurph. You reference nu-metal bands a lot, and I dig it. Are you a fellow metalhead, and if so, what bands are you currently listening to?

James Flannery

Howdy ho neighborinos! I understand that Campaign 3 is wrapping up soon, and you've talked about the series going forward as shorter form campaigns. I'm curious, does this mean smaller adventures with characters we know? Or would it be more flavor of the week in terms of the story? Maybe we could see the return of Eldermourne's Honk Honkfish!

Annie the Feywild therapist

Question for the whole group: how do you think your younger selves would perceive who you are now? Do you think they’d be super excited or very confused at where you’ve ended up? Thank you!

alli

question for murph (and probably emily) - how do you keep track of the repeated music cues that stay consistently tied to specific emotional beats throughout the different campaigns? i’m sure some are easier, like “a bastard no more” being for hardwon and “kingshammer” for weapons, but with some that are used less often but stay consistent, do you have notes or refer back to old episodes (or perhaps a secret third thing)? ps the music is always absolutely wonderful but in recent episodes has been especially devastating (in a good way)

Randy Pillay

You’re wrapping up a long night out with friends. You Uber back with a friend that lives 5 blocks away from you, so you walk the difference to save a few bucks. Midway through the walk, you glance down an alley and see what seems to be a battered and bloodied Grinch and Sonic in a WWE style test of strength. It’s hard to tell if they’re real or costumes after a long night of inebriation. The Grinch notices you and calls “Help me! This thing is trying to mug me or something!” But Sonic replies “No, help me stop this criminal!” Tails and Max are nowhere to be seen, but you hear more scuffling down the alleyway. Your cellphone has no bars, what do you do?

Danielle Carolla

Question for the whole group!! How do you feel your friendships have evolved over the years since starting NADDPod?

CP

You’re given a bunch of dice sets to use for the next session. Are you just choosing a random set at this point, or do you have preferred colors or styles, even now, after all these years?

Lauren Davis

Hi y'all! Question for Murph - We saw Thiala supporters early on in campaign 3, but not again. Did you anticipate them playing a larger role in this campaign, or did you always intend for them to be a one-time thing?

Jo Wright

Have any of you guys ever had a pet rabbit? I originally joined the Patreon because I thought I heard Emily and Murph had rabbits (turns out it was cats and possums) and now I’m a ride or die Naddpole

Rkds

This is a two part question. When you world build how do you settle on a theme that feels consistent? I will begin a campaign in a medieval setting but end up in Victorian steampunk cities an arc or two down the line. Part 2, Jake, what genre/aesthetic would you choose if you were to DM a mini arc?

Nick

Em-agic the Gathering: what is your favorite Commander Deck to play and what is the next deck you're planning on building? Love you guys!

Digter

I have a question for Jake since you have been playing D&D for a couple years now and you’ve gotten most of the mechanics and everything down. I’m wondering when you’re going to DM a game for everyone or have you even thought about it and if you have what kind of setting would you have it in?

Caitlin Truesdale

Something my friends and I can’t agree on: Is a UFO more like a cat or a table?

han!!

q for emily and murph: are there any musical “nannerfly effect” moments that stand out in your memory? like scenes where you almost chose a different song that would’ve changed the tone of a moment significantly but you decided to go a different way!

Trouble at the Tavern - A DnD Podcast

To Murphious, it's mentioned that you mainly edits the podcast. I can imagine that must take quite a long time per episode. I know Eminity makes most of the music but do you source the SFX? Do you do mastering as well? What does the editing process look like, how long does it take and what editing software do you use? Has there ever been an issue in editing that required the gang to re-record something? Love and appreciate y’all!

Dave 3D Art

Salutations supreme crit justices, and Jerph the burlap. Have you ever considered getting Justice Smith on an episode?

Hannah G.

Question for Murph: how do you feel you have grown / changed as a DM since the beginning of the first campaign? PS: Been listening since near the very beginning, naddpod is how I learned to DM! DnD’s brought me a lot of joy over the years, thanks for sharing it with us

han!!

question for everyone: how do you achieve max coziness?

Hanna Dahl

Happy Hoglidays Duck team! My question is what is your favorite tradition of the holiday season AND what do you think the duck teams’ favorite traditions are? much love and warmth to you all this season

Sam Francis

What has been the crews favorite side quest, mini game or puzzle throughout nadpod?

Jesse Earll

Compared to when you are recording for NADDPD, are there any major differences in how you approach TTRPGs (in terms of gameplay or roleplay) when you are playing off-mic and just for fun?

Guy Brill

Hi Murph. What were the original campaign plans with Glen before Jake fucked up everything and let Ultrus free? Classic Jake, am I right? Happy Thanksgiving.

thatoneguy

To my favorite DnD podcast, World's Beyond N-oh wait this is the one with Jake in it. Well since I'm here, If you could choose, what class and subclass would you most want to be assuming you could be a level 20 DnD character in your real life?

Caddy Wampus

Happy almost Bananksgiving! (It hurt my brain to type that). I just finished a spooky season re-listen of campaign 2. At the campaign wrap up, you all talked a lot about returning to Eldermourne to follow up on threads like ocean adventures, Zirk's pact with the Winter fairy, and how the Endo Friendos are doing after the revolution. Any plans for more Eldermourne? I am also humbly requesting some gameplay with the Band of Boobs after their reunion with Hardwon. Much love and Happy Hoglidays!

Randy

In magic the gathering there are a lot of “Universes beyond” cards that pull from different IP. If NADDPOD were to have their characters become magic cards. What would you want your commanders mechanic/playstyles/colors be?

alli

what dnd classes would each of your pets have?

Tom J

A Musing For Murph: If it turned out "The Game" Triple H was a huge NADDPOD fan and demanded that there be a NADDPOD 4 Team Elimination Match at WrestleMania where each of you partners with a wrestler, who would you partner each of you up with, how would you ensure the most entertaining match that avoids X-Pac Heat, and who would you book to win the match? BTW The Undertaker is actually magic and will grant you all basic wrestling ability, ensure none of you get hurt, and can bring any wrestler living or dead back to their prime for this match so go wild with your picks.

Glue Wilson

Hello my dry dry toads! I have 2 question options for you: 1. Speaking of dry toads, how is the gang feeling about a Hexblood prequel mixed bag (I believe this idea was brought up during a short rest)? Caldwell will need to come up with some hexblood related character ideas, so what do you all think would be a fun prequel character pitch? 2. Would you rather be a wet toad or a dry frog?

GamingManiac

Re-listening to the first campaign and I'm curious if the crew thinks they would've used something like true resurrection to bring deadeye back so he could live out his natural life in the crick?

Zach Schueler

I have heard a lot of comments from Emily about playing Magic the Gathering. I would love to hear what her favorite deck is and if anyone else from Naddpod plays.

sunwurm

if each of the ducks (and an npc of murph's choice) had a stuffed animal, what kind of stuffed animal would it be? classic teddy bear, emotional support anime body pillow, beanie baby, etc.

David Vass

My favourite stupid bit in the entirety of Naddpod was Emily's whole Porker Harris bit in that great two-shot. It is just so dumb, and I love it so much. What is the dumbest joke or bit you've done that you find the funniest.

Red Wynn

I've heard Emily talking about Magic the Gathering alot lately! Do most of y'all Play? If so have you ever considered being on a Commander Play show (I.e Game knights, Shuffle up and Play, commander at home)? Also what Commander decks does Emily/everyone/ have?

jackalope503

Hey gang! I was wondering if you guys have looked at the 2024 updates to 5e and what your initial impressions were. Personally my feelings are decidedly mixed. If you haven’t seen the updated players manual yet then I will pivot my question to asking if you agree that Jake is a sniveling coward for being the only one to not take a crack at DMing yet

Ashley Blake

Ok, I asked this last time, but it didn’t get chosen and I’m super curious lol. My husband and I recently started watched Big Cities Greens, honestly just because of Caldwell (we excitedly yell “Caldwell Tanner!” when we see his name like we know him personally…we’re super cool). How much did Greens (especially Cricket) inspire the crick and vice versa. I feel like there had to be some overlap between the two!!! Also, it’s important to me for you know that if you play the call of Cthulhu rpg, all skill and fight rolls are made on a D100 and you want to get as low as possible. So a 2 would be an almost perfect roll. Might be fun for the 2 crew

Tanner Spriggs

With C3 coming to an end soon-ish, have y'all thought about what you'd like to play next? Can we expect Jake to play another fighter subclass?

Zachary Overton

Will you guys ever give Daggerheart a try? It's Critical Role's new game system. Seems super cool!!

Anthony Finchum

Is Mike Wazowski one of the Incredible Hulk’s testicles mutated? I’ll hang up and listen now.

Marcus O'Bannion

Gavin Mac

What were some of your favorite places in Bohumia you revisited in C3? Were there any places from C1 you wish we saw 200 years later?

Eddie V

Which DnD class would you use to MIN-MAX your life? We asked this question on our podcast a while back, and whilst spellcasters seem the obvious chocie the martial classes get some crazy abilities. (I will also pay you a crisp $5, in the form of my existing ONE BIG BED membership, for a podcast shout out, though I totally understand if you don't want to encourage shout out requests. Show name in bio so it's optional for everybody)

Derek Mast

Hey 2 Crew! Will you guys ever do more Drop Out content besides D20 and Um, Actually? Would love to see an all NADDPOD episode of Game Changer or Make Some Noise!

Megan

Emily, are there any plans for the Callie Finale to return for the actual finale? I know that last time there was a contingent of listeners (losers) who went too hard on it, but this is the actual finale and I think it would be more than earned. Love the show, shout out to Jake for going over the comments.

Evan Cordero

Plans for after C3?

Jake W - hi mom!

Hi guys. I just wrapped up session 6 of a campaign. I’m first time DM. Everyone seems to be having a lot of fun and my players told me they can’t wait till we come back from break so they can keep playing. I asked for some feedback from my players about how to improve and they mentioned that when I’m not DM I’m very good at yes anding the bit. But in game I can be a little “rigid”. I’m very nervous trying to keep track of everything behind the screen. So I don’t like distractions or getting interrupted for jokes so I guess they have a point. What do you guys recommend to help get out of my own head and bit with my players more?

James Scott

Question: I play DND for the story, the drama and tension and I often feel like I am getting let off the hook by my fellow players and DM. As a good Catholic boy I want to be punished for my mistakes even if my mistake is rolling a dice poorly. How do I communicate this without seeming ungrateful or am I just a Chris Angel level edgelord? I know this is a Hearthside chat but I would appreciate a punishment none the less.

Morgan

Hey boobies! Not really a question, but while Caldwell is on break; talk some shit, get all the drama out I mean he’s caring for a baby he doesn’t have time to listen we can all take your side.

Jackson

How collaborative OR separated is the character creation for larger campaigns? Like C3 for example, how much were each of you involved in the creation of each others characters? Same for Murph; are you ever in the dark about main components of a character or the party as a whole that genuinely take you by surprise? I imagine that MOST things have to be shared with you as to not break the show, but I’m curious how much you all are surprised by each others characters. PS I love you all, I don’t know what I’d do with my time if not listen to your collection on an endless loop. Cheers from Normal, Illinois!

Stephen

Hi all! I was wondering if there are any mechanics or content you really enjoy running in off-mic games, but have avoided for the shows because they make for bad podcasting?

Olivia Hill

For Ax-Murph household: Hey y'all! My husband and I are getting our cat a cat. He needs someone to push him around a bit and we're adopting a kitten from his friend who fosters them. The kitten is a little lady with CH (neurological disorder that makes her all wobbly). Any tips on integrating in a kitten? Also we've been contemplating names and Henrietta Hogfish has been coming up a lot.

Charles

Hey y’all, hope you’re doing well. Group question: what is a commonly used word or phrase that you had wrong for an embarrassingly long amount of time? For example, I was straight up 32 before I realized it was “for all intents and purposes” instead of “for all intensive purposes.”

Matt M

Question for Jake (as Caldwell absent!). Did you have any go to podcasts for stroller walking to try to induce sleep? I ask because I started listening to naddpod when my son was born during lockdown and the podcast, in particular Hot Boy Summer (shout out to Emily), holds a special place in my heart for accompanying me on walks outside when the illusion of company and entertainment was much needed!

drmimms

Okay -- more of a seasonal off the rails question, but what do y'all make of "cream of" soups, like cream of mushroom, cream of onion, etc. -- are they just an ingredient, like in green bean/broccoli casserole, or are they real, standalone soups? This has been a family turkey day debate for years.

lizznotliz

On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad for Bahumia do you think it would be if the Bon Freres met Pendergreens?

Mythic_Robyn

Hey-o, I'm kind of wondering what's your favorite class for a small multi class dip? I'm personally a fan of brawling casters and so two levels of paladin is a go to but if I'm playing a paladin I love barbarian levels, righteous fury and all that.

Rayjay Johnson

Hey party people, Will we see a return of "Baggin' it with Balnor" after the conclusion of campaign 3? I've been missin' my morning pegasus jam. All the best, Rayjay

I'd very much like to hear the answer to this question as well! Naddpod and D20 are also responsible for me trying my hand at DMing

Erik Wennerholm

Jake! It's been great to listen to how you've grown as a dnd player during the show, my question is have you started playing any home games or are you satisfied just playing dnd here on naddpod?

Rachel Scott

Hey guys! Love the pod. What have been your favorite books this year, fiction or nonfiction? And do you guys prefer ebook, hardcopy, or audiobook?

Andy Kaplan

What actors and actresses would you want to play the characters in each of the campaigns?

wouldn't you like to know

Question to Murph: How do you avoid (or recover from) burnout as you run these long campaigns? I'm about a year into one right now. Every week I feel like I have to beat plot out of myself with a stick, and I'm struggling with where the story is headed long term, but my players continue to tell me they're having a good time, so I don't want to drop the campaign.

To what extent is naddpod each of your “main” jobs? I know Jake is probably busy running Headgum and Caldwell is an animator. (Is he still??)

Connor Johnstone

Humble NADDministrators, I need you to weigh in on an ongoing debate I’ve been having with a friend for about 15 years. Please pay close attention to the phrasing: “What would kill a person faster — 3 wolves, or 1 grizzly bear?” We have asked countless people this question, and each new participant adds information to the debate. We’ve learned that it isn’t just about sheer strength or physical ability. Supposedly wolves stalk their prey for sometimes extended periods of time; we’ve learned that grizzly bears often will do several false charges before actually engaging in combat. There is also some debate over the intelligence of each animal and how easy it would be to either distract or dissuade it from attacking. This question is not about what is stronger or more dangerous. It is not about what would win in a battle against one another. It is about what will kill a human person FASTER. Thank you for your thoughtful participation and hopefully we can finally put this to bed. I would like you to consider both sides of this argument before I give you my answer - because I want to avoid any bias that may be given to the question asker. My thoughts below: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I have always felt that although there are 3 wolves with gnashing claws and jaws, I believe that once the battle commences with a grizzly you are pretty much toast. One hard swipe of the paw and you’re likely done. Their jaws are more powerful. I just think the sheer overwhelming power of a grizzly would bring you to a swifter end. Thank y’all, love y’all. P.S. what is your favourite cheap beer (this debate is most often more hotly contested after a handful of these).

What was the last thing to give you food poisoning?

Winterbat

We’ve seen everyone DM except for Jake. Jake, do you have any plans to take up the mantle for a mini arc or maybe even a one-shot?

LittleLad

Hey there centaurs, we all know that, like our good friend Jabari “The Safari” Hightower, Dice Christ has a habit of taking us for a ride. In all the campaigns what rolls have taken the story, or your character, in an unexpected direction?

Gavin French

Hi Dads, and Jake! I was wondering if any other TTRPGS are on your radar? I've been patiently awaiting the day Murph graces us with a World Wide Wrestling One Shot or short campaign. Thanks and Love the show!

Day La Gnoll

For C4 will you use the new dnd rules/books?

Patrick Briatico-Kirwin

Hey Jake, I love you. When are we getting a sweet sweet one shot/mini campaign/ full 100 episodes DMed by the guy who shows up on 8 bit book club sometimes? Or even another stand alone one shot? (I loved the solstice one it was legitimately terrifying) I just can't get enough of that sweet sweet dnd content. Thank you all for all that you do -PBK

Amoria

Hello gracious naddmasters, I would like to know which of your pcs that you’ve played for the show would you most like to see interact. (p.s. hate the show never listened)

Day La Gnoll

Most eligible US cities for your next tour?

Jack Duffy

Hello to the beautiful 8 bit book club hosts and Amir’s little bitch boy. I’ll get straight to it: fuck marry kill… Sonic, the Grinch, Funky Kong

Alexis Bryant

Hello beautiful people, my question is: if you were a dragon, what kind of hoard would you have? It can be anything from jewels, cats, knit wear, eyeballs just as long as it's a hoard!! Happy Hogslidays!!!

jerpent the serpent

Hey 2 crew! After your Pathfinder 2e 2 shot (too many twos to count) would you guys consider running a longer form campaign using the pathfinder ruleset? Side note: Emily's portrayal of an ancient 40 year old man with the worst sleep apnea made me nearly get into a car accident, and I really don't know how I would explain that to any parties involved.

Gnome sympathisants 420

Hey Jake, I only know you as the guy who hasn’t made it onto 8Bit Book Club, but have you revisited the idea of Dming? I believe you mentioned being open to running a low fantasy, game of thrones type 2 shot. I really think you should give it a shot! We the people would love to hear about the world you build. Also, maybe Supreme Crit Justice will reconsider your nomination to join their ranks.

Jack Wright

Hey everyone and Jake, love the show. I had a question about a scene in Campaign 1 when the Band of Boobs were at the Crick and running out of the fog was a man in a Grinch costume, or hell, it's so realistic it might even be the Grinch himself. The Grinch runs up to you and says, "I know what you did." He then falls to the ground and starts convulsing. It looks like you might be able to save his life, but if you do you'll be infected by the Crickrot. What do you do?

Natural Dragon

After the relistening to the Mavrus Chronicles and doing a new short rest. Which other mini segment would you like to listen to again and if possible with which fantastic guest star? Examples would be Jabari Hightower, hexblood arc, and Lou Wilson or Deadeye, The Shadowfell Saga with Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Mav

Hey Two crew, Do you find that you actively choose to have shared qualities with your characters or that they mostly happen subconsciously?

Zaq Putnam

Hello, I was wondering what kind of settings and campaigns would be your dream campaign to play in?

Georgia

Hey everyone! I really enjoyed your first foray into Path Finder! I'm sure you'll come back to it eventually, but I like many others were effortlessly charmed by our Twin Flame Trio. Is there a world where we might see them continue their bizarre journey?

Matthew Ridings

Jake, are you ever going to run your own one-shot or campaign??

Natural Dragon

Have any of you tried any new tabletop systems out lately or want too? Why did you like it or why do you want to try it out? I’ve really been wanting to try out the call of cthulhu rpg.

Ryan McMahon

Will Jake ever DM a one-shot?

Emory Blair
>>156381543

This! Of course, no pressure and it can absolutely be a prewritten module if that's what he's comfortable with! I'd love to just see his flare DM style. 😊

Christian Madrid

For everyone- What is a dream PC concept that has been sitting in your head but you haven't had a chance to play yet? Whether it be for mechanical reasons, role-play reasons, flavor reasons, or all of the above.

OlGhettoGandalf

If you were to describe your co-hosts as a song, what would each of you be?

Anethia woods

Do you have any plans for doing post-campaign bonus content with duck team? (like something similar to the baggin it with balnor/donkey kong/holiday special stuff for c1) Also are there any plans for future liveshows with the c3 pcs?

JJ

Howdy everybody! Is it possible to get any kind of hint, even the smallest one, what's next after campaign 3? Any idea of what C4 is gonna be? Or are we finally getting the "oops, all Fighters" mini campaign, run by Jake, that you all talked about a long time ago?

Brandalf The Bae

What are your go-to karaoke songs? 🎙️👨‍🎤

Austin B

Long time listener first time typer: Murph, do you have a shpeel that you give the crew after you sit down but before you begin recording? Do you guys record most of your sessions in person? Have you all settled into a routine that you’re comfortable with before your sessions! Thanks for letting me rip your DM style off of you! My players love it. -Austin

Laura Jewell

Hi Emily, your book plugs are always spot on. Got anything cozy for us for winter reading? -Laura J.

Scott Morris

Hey geezers, NADDPOD is turning 7 years old pretty soon. How have your thoughts on DnD, actual plays, podcasting, storytelling, etc. changed in that time? Love the show, even that special guest Jacoby you have on sometimes

Emmanuel Maillis

For Murph. I’m sure you’ve spoken on it before but your encounter design is some of the best I’ve ever heard. It’s both dynamic and engaging. What’s the method to your madness? How do you approach encounter design? What’s some of your inspiration for your favorite encounters?

David Mourlam

Hey Duck Team! I'm getting to DM my first mini-arch over the Hoglidays and I'd love some advice! The arch is set in a prison where the party (a pit-fighting barbarian, archeologist rogue, and wisecracking bard a la the Jolly Jester) wakes up and has to escape. The prison is on an island off the coast of the continent and is multi-leveled with different encounters they can interact with to gain information and access to the other rooms and floors. Think The Boiling Rock from Avatar the Last Airbender mixed with Azkaban from Harry Potter, but for a bit of flair, the floors of the prison move independently like the cogs in a machine. Because of the alignment, they have three days to reach the top level, steal an airship, and fight the BBEG: The Warden (who since it's the Hoglidays might be wearing a furry green suit, or hell might just be the grinch himself...) before having to wait until the floors align again. I've built out a ton of NPCs, puzzles, and ways they can ascend the prison to freedom but I can't help but feel like the arch is missing something. Any and all your advice is welcomed for this new DM! I love the show and I'm so grateful you all inspired me to start playing dnd a few years ago and try my hand at DMing! Rolling for Performance, David. (p.s. Dice Christ as my witness, I got a 19!)

Anna Barnes

This one is for Emily. Of all the music you've composed for Naddpod, what is your favourite musical style to write for? Is there any genre of music you're hoping to delve more into in future?

Professor Hen

What Muppet is the most smashable…?

ChronoT

Murph, both C1 and C2 had their share of college humour guests which were notably absent in C3. Was this a result of difficulty aligning schedules or was this an intentional decision, if so why? PS hate the show, never listen. Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat

pooki

Hey gang, love your work. What would everyone’s death-row final meal be? AND what crime did you most likely commit to receive a death sentence? Ps would love more Hot Boy Summer.

Bryce Peterson

I’ve always been curious: In DnD, and improv in general I guess, how do you all handle tension/frustration while you’re performing? For instance, while you’re waiting for Jake to show up, the Grinch bursts into the office and drags all the electronics out of the door. Then 10 minutes later Jake walks in ready to record, but you notice a look of mischief in his eye and a small tuft of green fur on his shoulder. Obviously you’re all running late and don’t have time to address it before cleaning and getting started, so what happens next?

Mark Friedgen

For the whole crew? Do you now also see the grinch everywhere following the beginning of surprise round. Like I knew he was apart of the holiday festivities, but it feels like they’re going into overdrive this year. Wouldn’t be shocked to see actually grinch melons soon

Keegan Luther

Question to the group: do you intend to have more guest stars on the main campaigns in the future like you did in campaign one and two? Love the show and am excited to see how campaign 3 ends!

Glenn Dowdle

We have seen an extraordinary amount of Grinch content lately, and I love it! But what other media characters would you like to introduce to the naddverse?

Damian Rodriguez

Hey Jake and the other guest do you think the dms of naddpod would ever do a evil oneshot where each dm plays a villain from their respective campaign

Mark Friedgen

If you could be the one of the only humans in a muppet movie, what famous story, movie, or book would you want to adapt (ala treasure island, muppet wizard of oz, christmas carol, etc)

Marc Piwek

If you had to choose the next class and subclass to play for someone else on the two-crew, what classes would you pick? (As in Emily picks for Caldwell, Caldwell for Murph, etc.) Love yall!

Robert Kirkpatrick

Hello 2 Crew! I am less than three weeks away from my engagement! I rolled a nat 20 on my luck check and have found my adventuring buddy for life! How do you enjoy spending time with your spouse,family, and friends especially around the hoglidays? (P.S Bailiff Pinkie Pie, I’m proposing in New York, do you know where Jill and Tucker go for date nights? I need ideas)

Tessa Worner

Hello! 😊 Have any of you done a one-on-one campaign or have any ideas for one? I’m a first time DM and I would love to run one for my boyfriend before jumping straight into potentially dm’ing for 6 PCs. Any advice is appreciated 🥰love y’all!!!

Omar Mtz

Hello! Did you ever imagen that Suprise round/ Grinch Attack will be so popular?

Nathaniel F.

Hearthside Homies and Homettes, If you found out you were from another planet, what would you want your home world to be like? And what do you think it would actually be like?

William Fey

Group question: if you could play a one-shot with one party in another campaign world (ie: B.O.B in Eldermourne, or Triplets in Sanctorum) who and where would it be?

Steve Boyland

this is for murph mostly but anyone really: is the name of the show meant to be "not another d&d podcast" as in there's no other show like it, or as in "ugh not another one of these." thank you, namaste

Omar Mtz

Any chance we get more of the Twin flame crew in 2025?

Tyler Kraft

Hello gamers and rake. I’m starting a new campaign soon returning to my homebrew world of Uvolar. I’ve only been DMing for a few years and this is my first longform campaign. I’d like to know how Murph goes about character creation with the rest of you? We’ve started some of the more basic creation already, but when it comes to character specific arcs and the fun cliffhanger type stuff you’re able to pull off, what’s that process look like? How do you tie it in to your world? Thank you! P.S. you all are beautiful, even brake

MkA7L

To our beloved Dungeon Docent - will we be returning to Twilight Sanctorum in 2025?

Or just any more Dungeon Docent designs?! Hot boy summer got me feinding for some more!

Vee

Howdy 2 Crew! Hate the show and have never listened to it. Anyway, after working together for several years now, what are some things about each other you've grown to appreciate, within the realm of roleplay or just in general! PS - Fuck you I love you eat a rat! ❤️

Natural Dragon

Hey everyone and special guest star Jake from State Farm, You get a letter that says you won the house of your dreams in the area of your dreams. You pay zero taxes on the property but you can’t sell it or rent it. It’s the perfect home for you However you might not love your neighbors. The letter goes onto explain that the grinch, Fred flintstone, sonic, fat bastard, Ron burgundy, venom, crash and Sebulba live around your dream house. The good news is this is your dream home so you can place them where you want. Where would you want each neighbor to live? Choose who lives Directly behind you, directly in front of you and which ones are on either side? The ones not chosen live down the street from you one block over. Bonus question What would your dream house look like and what area of the world would you live?

MkA7L

Any plans to explore the 2024 rules for your next Campaign? Maybe do a test run via a short-shot in between?

Alison Johnson

This Thanksgiving might be especially hard for a lot of people, so in the interests of spreading positive vibes: What is your favorite family memory that you're willing to share? (Mine is my mom reading aloud to us before bedtime. I read Bunnicula to a friend who couldn't find it on audio book, and I discovered that I could still hear the entire story in my mom's voice, 30+ years later)

MkA7L

Murph - Has there ever been a moment in recording that has made you actually stand up and walk away from the microphone because you were so thrown by someone's actions? If so, was it Caldwell or Emily?

Nicholas

Any chance we will see Jake on an episode of 8 bit book club? Can’t believe this hasn’t happened yet.

Liam Black

Hey everyone! I’m wondering what books you would recommend as supplementary material to the basic DM books?

MkA7L
>>156384411

Follow up: As the DM, have you ever considered including an NPC Binky Fiasco?

sarah may

simple dimple, tell us what your favourite go to dice are! do you have a d20 that you always have on you, no matter the character?

Jordan Sisneros

Emily- You’ve played with Dimension 20, with Critical role, and with the GOAT dnd player Jake from Jake and Amir. Is there anyone in the TTRPG community you want to play with that you haven’t?

Valens

Hello to the 2 crew! Question for Emily. This may have already been answered previously but I was wondering what programs you use to create the music in the show?

Cory Wyse

For the truly so low bailiff, just a dirty rat boy of a bailiff, have you considered DM’ing? If so what kind of campaign would you run?

Jwhalen

Murph and Emily have talked about Magic Th Gathering on the pod, and some guests have shown interest or actively play the game (Ify Nwadiwe, Ally Beardsley, etc). Is there any change of having a MTG mixed bag where y’all talk about the game, your decks, favorite cards or colors, or something else Magic related?

clover

if you had to be trapped as one animal, animorphs style, what would it be

farmerjoe_y

This Thanksgiving, would you rather be trapped in the woods with one elephant sized turkey, 100 house cat sized turkeys, JD Vance, or a bear? Please note that turkeys are famed for their aggression.

Will you guys ever come back to Australia? It was so kind that you came to nearly all of the states. We would love to have you back! And I’m sure our Neighbours would in NZ would love to have you too

Grass

Hi Emily, big fan of emilies (both my best friends of 20 years are named Emily). Can you recommend any good books?

Ziel R.

I wanted to give you all a shout out for something that I don't think you guys necessarily get praised for enough. The sound quality in this podcast is great. As someone who is deaf/hoh, it can be very difficult for me understand what people are saying. I've had to drop several shows because I just couldn't follow what was being said, but I have never had that problem with you all. I guess if I had an actual question for youse guise, it would be: do you have any recommendations for someone looking to get a mic to do their own recording? I recently got implants and can no longer wear anything over the ears without causing a feedback loop.

Elysium Ervin

I loved your Pathfinder three shot, are you guys planning to do another a Pathfinder mini campaign after campaign 3 is complete?

Katie P.

Hey gang! Since our sweet art boy is out, what's your favorite piece of D&D or fantasy-related art or illustration (could be from book covers, prints, comics, concept art, etc.)?

Walt and Pepper

Flip to a random page of the monster manual. Do you think that you and 100 of your identical clones could take that monster? (The clones are expendable)

SC

Hey there, centaurs! If all the characters you each have played across campaigns got into a bar fight, who do you think would come out on top? (E.g. all of Emily’s characters versus each other, Murphs characters versus each other in a separate fight against each other, etc.)

Nick_Nack_Patty_Whack

A Giff can carry things as if they were one size larger than they currently are and at level 18, a rune knight can become huge. How much would you allow a Giff Rune Knight to carry while huge? Posture check! With it almost being December, how are your New Year’s resolutions coming along and what will yours be next year? Emily, as someone who’s read Mistborn, what metal do you think everyone all of the characters would be able to use?

Brandon Griffin

Hey gang, serious question here for mister Murph. What do you do about chaos goblins? I have just finished a second tpk on my players because of 2 separate players deciding against the group and going rogue. The first time our warlock initiated a fight that they were specifically told not to. By PC's, npc's, and out of game. The second our party rogue attacked a giant mushroom worm after combat ended and a truce was made between the party and some feywild creatures. Each ended in all but the cleric surviving and he in turn revivifying who he could. This happened by two separate people and I was at a loss as to how to continue the story. Is there any way to reel in the pure chaos (side eyeing Emily) that a player can bring or should a good dm just roll with it and just adapt to PCs constantly dying because of their bizarre choices.

David Tatarczuk

Will there be any new episodes of baggin it will Balnor coming out?

David Tatarczuk

To Jake: Will you ever release the letter that Hardwon wrote to Moonshine in case he died?

Dorzopin Meng

I made Moonshine in Baldur's Gate 3 and beat the game on Honour Mode. She is actually pretty O.P. why do Calwell and the other guy not multiclass? Are they stupid?

Kyle W

Which D&D class would make the best boyfriend / girlfriend in real life?

Ben Herman

When you guys became one with the serpents Murph described your souls as balls of energy merging with theirs. What do you think your characters souls looked like?

Beb

Which one of you could finish a whole Turkey? I was going to say fastest (a la rotisserie chicken) but I think at all is impressive enough.

As much as I would love to see them severely punished, I hoped for some advice on dealing with players who forget the party and go into business for themselves

Lindsey

Apologies if you've already discussed this! Have you had a chance to look at the new D&D 2024 material that's been released so far, and do you have any thoughts on the changes? Much love to all (from me) and to Emily exclusively (from my very small rescue dog who growls if he hears men speak).

Mason McCauley

Hi 2 Crew! Y’all have brought up Curse of Strahd a few times throughout the show. I’d love to know if you have any interest in doing another Tomb of Horrors-style dungeon crawl livestream for Castle Ravenloft? P.S. There’s a D&D Beyond article, “Strahd Must Die Tonight,” for running the castle in a couple hours… rather than 12.

Vi

Who is someone who you have not had as a guest on NADDPOD that you would love to have on? I would love to see Jacob!

Samn DS

Do you guys like spicy food? I wanted to send a can of candied jalepenos from a farm in town and a recipe for a family dip for you to try but they’re hawt!!

xatlern

If your characters across the different campaigns could meet each other, how do you think they'd interact? Would they get along? Hardwon and Calder met and they seemed cool, but I think Jens and Mac would immediately hate each other.

Belligerant_Me

What's an obsession, fixation, or fetish you've given one of your characters that actually squicks you out in real life?

Danny R.

Hey howdy hey 2 crew! I got a question for Murph! As a novice dm myself I sometimes struggle with finding a compromise with wrangling little grimlin players, with such chaotic players yourself, how do you find the balance between letting their shenanigans go on and getting things back to focus? (Also a shout out to you Murph for always finding someway to wrap the goofs up into the plot into something serious and heart wrenching!)

Guy

Will there be a holiday special this year. If yes do you think you could get Tucker to DM it and if not him maybe Jake could give it a shot.

Do you think people from New Orleans love hot date season 2 the way I, a native New Yorker love hot date Season 1?

Jake and Caldwell: what is your favorite part about being a parent? Murph and Emily: your favorite part of being a yuncle/yaunt?

Drew Mindell

What cheese would be your favorite cheese if you were a mouse? Note, this is not asking your current favorite cheese. Your favorite cheese if you were a mouse. Different things.

HellishRebuker, PhD

Since at least some of you guys have been getting into Magic: The Gathering - what colors of mana do you feel like each member of the 2 Crew represents? Or each member of Duck Team if that sounds like more fun?

Alex C

Did you ever figure out which one of you can eat an entire rotisserie chicken the fastest?

Melaninja

Jake, you’ve played a fighter in all three main campaigns, with the only full spell caster you have played being Tread Nevers. Do have any interest in playing another spell caster in the near future?

Stef

When can we hope for another campaign run by our Dungeon Docent?

Kerri

If you had to, groundhogs day style, relive one holiday on repeat, which would it be? A Halloween of the past? Christmas present with the kiddos? Also I just re-listened to campaign one, and am working through all previous hearthside chats. Please release the Moonshine letter, I can’t stop thinking about it 🥹😬

Chelsea

Just curious, how do people get into the internet comedy business? Is it just knowing the right people or are there interviews/auditions?

Rotem Cohen

What is the most insane campaign/episode idea that you’re debating doing or not?

G.X. Barnett

If you all were to release a mini-campaign in Bahumia where Murph wasn’t the DM and Emily, Caldwell, and Jake weren’t the player what foursome would you all like to listen play in your sandbox?

Kerri

Also as a Scrooge and a Grinch myself, I hate the holidays, they kind of bum me out. So please commiserate with me. What is the worst holiday you’ve ever had and why? Bahummbug. Bahumiabug? Cheers, and thank you, you sweet sweeties.

Niko Emi

My question is for Emily! My spouse and I have the NADDPOD beer glass set and I always say we can only drink clear/almost clear drinks out of the crick water glass (because I assume crick water would be nearly clear) and this has led us to wondering: what color IS The Crick? Is Crickwater clear? We assume it’s not, but is it brownish? Some unnatural other color? The people must know. PS our cats (Fondue and Willoughby) say hi to the AxMurph cats

David Silva

Murph, how do you organize your notes for your world building? I’ve recently started a campaign that is kind of a cowboy/fantasy setting heavily inspired by the old Dark Sun lore. I have trouble deciding what things need to go where when making notes about factions or important npcs that relate to more than one area. You and the crew have been a massive inspiration for me as a DM in how to build stories around my players.

Cody

I have a question for Emily! I’ve been listening to old mixed bags of holding and in the old D&D show episode, the Odyssey was brought up briefly. Have you heard of EPIC: The Musical? If you haven’t please check it out! Would love to hear what you think about it.

Peter Tschaekofske

What would be your perfect trio of tacos and margarita if you could choose any ingredient or topping? (*Assuming the margarita has a tiny paper sombrero*)

Sid Dickless

If you could remove one of your organs to clean it out and then put back in your body, which organ would you choose and how would you go ababout cleaning it. Personally, I'd love to be able to take out my lungs and clean them out llike you do a bong; fill them up with coarse salt and rubbing alcohol and give them a good shake, rinse with warm water. Then just plop those bad boys right back in.

Lauren Cooper

If your characters were a Thanksgiving side dish, which would they be and why?

Will Taylor

Who would you want to play your character in the live action version of one of the campaigns?

For the whole crew: what has been your favorite part of playing campaign 3?

Hi sweeties, if you were an ice cream flavor, what would you be and why?

Luke Jarrett

The Grinch, Sonic, The flintstones, Animorphs, Donkey kong. Choose 1 the rest never existed

you’re so valid for this. i ALWAYS think about taking my eyes out, putting them in a metal cocktail shaker with some ice and giving them a good old flair bartender style mix, rinse them off with some soda water and pop pop straight back in. delish.

Quinn Nash

Hello Nerdpoles! I was curious which characters you think would get along the best? I think Hardwon and Cormac would get along well, both loving Beer and being from Dwaven populations. What do y'all think?

Carter W

Do you have any plans for campaign 4 now that you’re getting close to wrapping up C3? Are you going to do an Eldermourne campaign again, or set it in a new world entirely? Or maybe Jake can finally take the reins in the DM seat!!

Tony Cappellino

Question for the Murphasaurus Rex: You’ve inspired me and a friend to watch WWE- where and how do we start with almost 70 years of action to catch up on? Do you have some must-see matches and storylines to start our trip down the rabbit hole? Thanks! And a PS/question for Emily Axigator: I’ve been re-listening to Campaign 1 and I’m falling in love with your music all over again! You guys talked a lot about posting your arrangements to SoundCloud and Spotify, but I can’t find the SoundCloud links and the only music on Spotify is from the Galaderon and Crick sagas. Is there more music hiding somewhere cause I’d love to listen on demand (especially the Trinyvale outro that I can’t find ANYWHERE 😢) Thanks again!

Kathryn G.

Pathfinder campaign??? Pathfinder campaign????

Miranda B

Hey gang! How do you guys feel about your characters for this campaign now that you’re at the end? Did you complete your goals or were there things you wanted to do but didn’t get the chance? How have your understandings of your characters changed since the beginning?

Brandon R

Jake, what’s the best burger in New York? I’m travelling there for the first time in January to see Murph and Emily at Madison Square Garden and am looking for all the “best [blank] in New York” recommendations I can get, any others from you or the rest of the crew would be great as well, Thanks!

Signe Krantz

I know there might be issues with recording rights and audio quality and a lot of other things, but is there any possibility of getting access to more recorded live shows? I live in Sweden and have a slim hope of attending one. I would even pay for a higher Patreon tier than mixed bag if that gave me access to more recordings. If that's a possibility for the future, that is.

Morse

What would it take for Emily to agree to play in a Flintstones mini-campaign?

Denver Studebaker

Quick question for Jake, did you ever consider multiclassing into the relatively new Giant Barbarian subclass for Calder? It allows you to grow into a giant when you rage.

Novelty Junky

What are all your respective favorite fantasy series, and do you think you let them influence your TTRPG characters?

Takowowo

Hey gang, going to keep it quick and dirty. Have you thought of running a Never Stop one-shot seeing how Murph made the terrible dice game? What kind of game would you want to run in that kind of ramping up system? I would personally want to see Caldwell run a Sonic themed Never Stop Running where everyone has to be their own critter (or robot). Also if you could have a signature trick weapon ala Bloodborne what would you take? I love the idea of a weapon with a cool if not impractical feature so if the only rule was the rule of COOL what would be your dream weapon?

Akira

For anyone, but mostly Jake, as the D&D young'n of the group, what are some things you wish you'd known as you were learning the game and what are some tips you may have for players new to the game and DMs running games for new players? Anyway, hate the show and never listened, #ReleaseTheLetter

Josh Durham

What is an obscure reference that you’re always itching to mention but you’re sure people would never get?

Hey 2 crew! What music is everyone into right now? What do you anticipate appearing on your “wrapped” (or other streaming service equivalent)?

Hunter Kerns

Hey Two Crew! This question is primarily for Murph (but probably just as relevant for the other DMs), but now that Campaign 3 is approaching it’s finale, are there any sessions in any of your campaigns as a DM that you wish you’d have done differently? Encounters you’d make harder, events you’d set up earlier (or retcon entirely), etc.?

sabertruth19

Bringing the Fireside to the Hearthside-Lou Wilson has recently indicated that he frequently loses money on side bets with Murph and maybe even enough to have paid for your house. How long has this been going on and is it possible that your bad rolls are the universe balancing out your irl wins? Also, big W for your dice game bringing us Never Stop Blowing Up and Misfits and Magic2. Happy Hoglidays to all and may your haters only have the tiniest of snacks!

Blueberbaby

Hola two crew! When referring to chapstick or lip balm, do you say flavor or scent? Whats your preferred scent or flavor?

Space Cram is one of my favorites. Thanks for reminding me to re-listen to it!

Thank you Jake!

At one point, you guys were working on a video game, and I always see fans asking for a NADDPOD Campaign Book (which would certainly be amazing), but if you guys could choose, what NADDPOD extended media would you like to see made? A Magic: The Gathering card set? A graphic novel of C1? Animated series a la Critical Role? I, personally, would like all of the above.

Mason N.

Yoooooo Question for Emily: At the Seattle show, when you all got onstage the lights dimmed for a second and my friends and I noticed you were getting up off the floor. We could only imagine you fell! Just wanted to check to see you were ok (like 2 years later…. But better late then never)

Conor

Group Q would you rather every song in the world can only be performed by the Grinch, or every artist in the world can only perform songs from HTGSC?

Verity-Rose

murph did you realise that in c1 emily makes a joke about a committee of giant oligarchs running the fae wild? did you pull that and make it a thing or was that just a weird coincidence

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Pretty sure hockey is canon in Bahumia so what positions are your PC’s or are they just in the stands?

Kate The Great

If (fingers crossed) y'all do a 4th campaign, could there be a character list posted somewhere? Once the crew has adopted them of coruse. Your worlds get beautifully big, so sometimes it's helpful to have a reference of *ummm who was that?* Thanks! ps love y'all

Trey

Just finished Bear and the Nightingale and absolutely loved it at Emily's recommendation! Was Fia Bonkginia based on Vasya, the main character? If so, I think Emily masterfully represented Vasya, while also making it entirely her own character.

Pandaman1165

It might be too early to say but have y'all decided on what's after C3? Would we revisit an existing crew for a period or try something new? Would love to see more of the Phantasmos or the Twin-Flames! Also thankful for y'all and the amazing show you do, Happy Bannanskgiving!

Lee

Hey 2 crew this ones for murph how did you decide on the new stat blocks for the serpents are they based off their original stats or are they new? Also why did licorice lose their decay/overgrowth breath?

Scott Wabel

Hey 2crew dudes, have you considered trying out other game systems besides 5e and Pathfinder? If so, what systems do you find interesting?

Timeka Stenhouse

Hi 2 Crew! This one's for the whole gang, I personally LOVE tackling a puzzle in dnd. What is one of your favourite puzzles you have done, either in Naddpod or in a home game?

Loaf of Bread

Q for the DMs of the group. Where do you get your inspiration for combat arenas and making dynamic combats? I sometimes find it hard as a DM to think of combats that don't eventually become slap fights in a circular room.

Marknado

Question for Emily. What is the best way to level half casters like paladin/bards or other strong multi classes including spells/fighting. Thank you yours truly oath of Hurwitz paladin

Tavitafish
>>156423067

I know you didn't ask me, but I've always found that having some part of the arena that must be interacted with really helps. One of my favorite combats I ever ran was a chase inside a train.

Tavitafish

A question for everyone who's played a full spellcaster, how do you manage wanting to use interesting spells, while still not feeling like you're dragging your party down in combat? I once played a div wizard who only used div spells in a pretty combat heavy game. We already had a combat wizard but I still had to find really weird ways to be involved in combat.

KnockOffGrimReaper

A question I’d have for everyone is what is a moment, either in creation or at the table, where one of their past characters expanded or came to life with their own inner worlds when creating or playing a character for a new season?

Steve Graham

You have all proven how good at thinking on your feet and developing a character you are time and time again, but how do you navigate trying to make sure each character feels whole and distinct, while still letting your own voice shine through? Without a writer or external pressure, it feels like over time characters would fall into similar rhythms, where they may not repeat but they may rhyme.

Morose Psych

A question for the stylish Emily and the other guys. Whether you are a player or an orchestrator, you create such vibrant worlds with genuinely unique depth. Where else do you express your creativity? And do you plan it or is it spontaneous? P.s. I've never listend to the show

ive thought about taking out my brain, flouring it and tossing it like a dough to get the elasticity back. and digging the dirt out of its crevices just like how you'd clean dirt from the back of a prawn.

Nate Ness

Jan and Troy invite you all to thanksgiving at their apartment. When you arrive you find the Grinch and Crash are already there. What dishes is everyone bringing? How does the evening go?

pluckythechicken

For Murph, what is your favorite thing that you've stolen from a DM that you've played with? Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the content

Kevin P.

Ever played Sayonara Wild Hearts?

Rebecca Koester

For Murph, have you watched invincible fight girl? It’s a fun wwe inspired show.

Old Nog

Is the Lorax the anti grinch? And who would win in a fight between the two of them?

Edward Smith

I’m running a Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign in which the players are currently heading into the eye of a hurricane to stop Tharizdun from corrupting it and laying waste to the mortal plane. Naturally, the players have asked that the next session be Christmas themed. I know that they’ll be travelling to an underwater settlement and delving into a temple. I was wondering if you had any tips for merging seasonal concepts into well-established campaign settings. My thoughts thus far are that the underwater settlement is guarded by the spirits of those lost at sea (making the whole place look like a snowglobe) or an underwater Old Guppy-style Santa. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Joe Shmoe

Hello I don't expect to be heard as I already have been but here is my story anyway. My family of 3 all went to the ren fair (My Wife, Daughter and I) found a homemade dice stand and I'd been searching all over the internet for a long time for my dice set. They had a deal that you could buy a 15$ quick press pack they were re selling but if you rolled the d 20 and and got a NAT 20 you could pick any set of custom dice you'd like. My wife talked me into it I proudly proclaimed Dice Christ was with me and threw my dice in the tower as requested and got my first ever nat 20 for my first dice roll for my first set of dice. Everyone lost there shit the seller stole the bad pack and put the 20 in a necklace to (gain its power) amd I found a beautiful red and blue liquid core set with golden numbers that I really really love. Your show is extremely endearing and inspiring thank you all for simply being good.

Eons Abroad

Campaign 3 is amazing butttttttttt Murph.... what's Pendergreens been up too?! Is he still king of hell? Has he traded Gatorade in for pedilyte in his old age?

Rachael Essen

I’m sure a million people will also ask this lol, but will you guys switch over to the 2024 rule set eventually, or stick with the 2014 rule set?

S. Marc

Is there a possibility for a potential new campaign in Eldermourne or any one shots within its world? Love the work you guys do btw :)

Evan Marshall

Hi 2 crew! How often do you go back and listen to old 8-bit book club episodes? I’ve been re-listening recently and it has some gems like the first mention of Austin Powers, and the first reaction to “driplessly”. I also noticed that many names used in the campaigns were pulled from some of the books you read there. Do you feel like you still pull inspiration from these books/episodes? P.S. not sure if that Jake guy would be a good fit for the book club, I would avoid pressure from others to have him on. Thanks! Hate the show

Alex Waldrop

After years of listening to D&D podcasts for years, I finally joined a game in my local area and have noticed it has been a great creative outlet for me and has given me a different perspective on my professional work as someone who works in a very "serious" profession. I am curious if you noticed that playing role-playing games has had any impact on your other professional work? Do you think being a part of NADDPOD (and D20) has changed how you approach your other creative work? And how so?

KingHalt

Hey Murph! I'm a relatively new DM and I was wondering how you go about building such large campaigns? Do you just do a few sessions at a time or do you try to plan the whole thing out at once? Love all of you!!

Joshua Goguen

Burningly ghoulish question, are there any plans to revisit Twilight Sanctorum to catch up with Shadowfells founding freaky family?

Tanner Spriggs

Return to Twilight Sanctorum, when?

jackalope503
>>156374529

It’s gotta be the guy who came on from 3BH! Ah dang what was his name again? Jeremy Cobb I think

Ethan Johnson

What were your rejected ideas for finishing the campaign with Caldwell’s unexpected absence?

Titanimus Maximus

Are we getting a grinch themed mini campaign for Christmas?

ROMCOM

Heya Murph! Was always curious about your mastery at encounter balancing, do ideas for dynamic battles just come to you? How do you roughly guess if an encounter will be too difficult or too easy? Is there any advice you can give to someone *cough* me *cough* trying to up their DMing game via encounters? Thank you so much in advance, all my best to Caldwell, and in the immortal words of Brian Murphy, “you gotta honour the cock”.

Malik Griffin

Hello naddpod! I know you all have busy schedules but I was wondering if there's any more details on the Jake campaign? Can't wait to hear his 200 episode master plan and fully original world!

Connor Ayres

If you had to have a crash, grinch or sonic Christmas bauble. Which one would it be?

Dax Motarex

WHEN IS MURPH GONNA HAVE THE CURAGE TO LET EMILY PLAY A HIGH LEVEL WIZARD

Zeke10n

Can we get a Jake DM live show to ease him in?

Boris Bokchoy

Does your mom listen to the shows Jake? Does anyone have family members who are dedicated listeners?

Kieren Holmes

Long time patron, fist comment. My question is simple, maybe too soon to ask, but next campaign what's your plan?

My Names Mike

Will you have guest players on for future main campaigns like in campaign 1? I always enjoyed the guests and thought they were fun additions to the arcs. Also when can we expect the next hot boy summer?

Noah Coleman

If you guys were to meet your PC across all campaigns, which ones would like you the most/least?

Justin Nichols

Long time listener, first time commenter, PS hate the show. You guys talked quite a bit during campaign 1 about making a source book at some point, is this something you guys are still considering?

Callum Huszar

Hey 2 Crew! You've mentioned that after campaign 3 you are thinking about branching out and playing a few smaller campaigns, maybe returning to some older games and maybe some new games and potentially away from D&D. I'm curious if any of the potential GMs for these games have any other game systems that are catching their eye! Would love to see a revisit of pathfinder 2e, or I think you guys could kill a campaign using Vaesen!

its not uncommon for them to give advice on dnd courts and if you ask for it theyd give it

Erick_with_a_c_and_a_k

Hello 2 crew! Now I’m not here to talk DnD. I’m here to talk music and give a couple band recommendations! As they say people in their thirty’s rarely listen to new music (I’m 35 and actively try to find new bands.) here in Washington state and PNW two bands were pretty prevalent while I was in high school. School yard heroes and The Blood Brothers. Give them a listen! I would love to hear your thoughts!
