I gotta work today, but at least you can keep me cozy on the bike ride there

Theophilus the Thistle Sifter

First time I have ever seen the Patreon notification come up. Truly, I am thankful 🎉🙌

Egg

thanks I'm going to ritually sacrifice a turkey to this !

Ben Herman

I hope there's no Animorphs spoilers in this. I just started book 51.

Jason Ramirez

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Charlotte Gill

Cat or table feels like a question they would put on an ASD test

Courtney F.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Two Crew and Naddpoles everywhere!!! Thankful for all of you! 🙏

Jon

Working today and this has always been a difficult time. Thankful for y'all, so much

Nadja Nordstrom

Happy thanksgiving, yall. Hearthsides are always some of my fav 'sodes. Hope everyone is staying relaxed, warm, and holding their loved ones close :)

Canid

Thanks for the holiday drop. Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

Ryanne Wallace

Getting a real rachel dies vibe from this title

Jake Alcott

Thankful for this, thankful for Medford, MA!

Gnaeus Corbulo

Ally being into magic was not on my 2024 bingo card! Delightful to hear

Kellyd

Major C3 spoilers here in case any of yall are waiting to binge or not caught up yet!

Gnaeus Corbulo

Emily running call of Cthulhu would be amazing!!

Bam Bambi

Would love to hear yall talk more about the dnd update once yall check it out ! Like how yall did the pathfinder episode.

Jake Alcott

Sometimes you get to the point in a bit where the beginning is too long ago to remember and the ending it too far forward to see

jackalope503

I love these holiday hearthside chats. I also really want to say thank you to the entire 2 Crew for everything you guys do. Campaign 1 was my first introduction to D&D, and I feel like my appreciation and enjoyment for TTRPGs has grown alongside each campaign you all have done. Immersing myself in Bahumia and Eldermourne with you incredibly charming folks has gotten me through family troubles, a pandemic, career changes, and uncertainty about the world. Thank you band of boobs for being your wonderful selves

GaiusOrpheus

Murphy said in the Ask a DM live stream that since they'll be doing shorter adventures post C3, they'll no doubt do a run with the 2024 rules at some point.

lily 😦

would love to watch yall play magic!! happy hoglidays 🦃

Zo Perry

a magic the gathering commander mixed bag with beardsley would be amazing!!

Zo Perry

happy bananksgiving everyone 🫶🏻

Jennifer Barnes

Recently got into magic this year would love to watch some plays!

tatsuo takao

Please, I need to see Murphy pumping out goblins, pissing off other players while saying, "krenko kranks" 🤣

JustSomeKnob

Part of me is bummed Emily didn’t wait until Attack of the Clones comes back to theaters

Sam

Thanks Cake!!!!

Aly Sylum

There is a super fun (and funny) game called Die Laughing which is exactly what Murph described - all the player characters are horror movie archetypes. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to play and would make an amazing one shot. The game can handle 7 or 8 players easily and players take turns as the director (GM) so everyone gets to play. After your character dies, you become a producer which has its own powers, so you aren’t out of the game completely. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/263554/die-laughing I played it three times at BigBadCon and it was so fun! (shout out to Karl Kreutzer for running it!)

Nick Lerche

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all! We need more Axford DMing and Jake's DMDebut!

Natural Dragon

I’m glad we got an update on Jake being a cake guy.

Moses Ferney

Yooo, a NADDPOD mtg game would be super sick!!! I would definitely like to see that someday!

dryptid

a lovely honk shoo to you and yours

Michael Green

I would literally watch a weekly magic video

ACK

I always wanted to see the capital of the empire in Eldermourne.

Mark Friedgen

pls play on video i’ve always wanted to try magic and would love to watch and learn

Bridget Adams

Blades in the Dark would be an excellent system for a cyberpunk Ezry campaign! It's such a fun system and it's crime focused

ACK

I would be very interested in an MTG video mixed bag!

Peydon Bush

Omg, please do space campaign!

Olivia

Since Emily’s watched Attack of the Clones we gotta hear her review of it!!

DMAN

There is interest in a video MBoH that features you guys playing MtG

Jonah Facciolli

I feel the exact same way about movies Jake. I really dislike nihilistic horror movies and nihilistic movies in general even when they are really good. Like Hereditary I can appreciate is a good horror movie but I don’t want to rewatch it ever again.

Three days since the living room

I’m relistening to campaign one atm and it is wild how much everyone has quite literally leveled up.

Lokee Neuman

Super interested in an MTG mixed bag episode!

Dave 3D Art

I played Call of Cthulhu once. The first thing I did was punch a widow for the contents of a cigar box. The last thing I did was punch a ghost who was masquerading as my father. There was much punching in between.

Blue Bee

Shadowrun in cyberpunk ezry would rock so hard tbh

CommodoreBlue

Kids on Bikes seems like it would be a good system for a slasher-flick style one-shot. Maybe a camp counselor themed thing, like that video game Murph and Emily did voice work for

abi_all_pink

happy thanksgiving two crew! and thanks for answering my silly question!!🩷

Michael W

Now that Thanksgiving is here, I think it is time to post this song; the greatest song ever written about the Grinch. You're a Dirty One, Mr. Grinch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX1pZUwUi_U

Renee Wild

YOU GUYS they are recording for D20, I can’t wait for more intrepid heroes

Erin

Please do a MtG video! I’ve been trying to learn for so long and would love to see how y’all play!

Canid

Here's a lateral event happening soon. “The Critical Role episode featuring a Magic: The Gathering, Commander game will air on December 3, 2024 at 7 PM Pacific. The episode will be part of the EverythingIsContent series and will feature: Matthew Mercer, Liam O'brien, Ify Nwadiwe, and Emily Axford."

Benjamin P Parson Gomberg

Murph is such a good little paladin. Immediately volunteering to be the one to be sacrificed, he can play a shithead but he can’t escape Lawful Good in the real world.

Riley Barnett

I need y'all to play magic!!!!!

Billy Peake

I want nothing more than the chaos of Emily Axford getting flashback mechanics

Nathaniel Levy

Orcas are once again wearing little salmon hats, they used to 37 years ago but its back in fashion as of recently

Larry Scott

The one game I would absolutely love to see them play is Fiasco. It would only be good for a one shot but since it's an improv game with no prep it might make a good off week episode. 0 it's basically about a group of people hatching a stupid plan and then immediately self-destructing. It's amazing.

Shy-senpai

SEAHORSE IN A YANKEE WITH BRIM?!?!?!

Saint Panic

Murph took no time at all to volunteer himself and had it all buttoned up to protect his friends. What an absolute king. 👑

Lorelei The Succubi and Kyra The succulent snack

Emily, Omo is my Unmodified Precon for game nights when I go out to the local game store and I haven't lost a game yet with it. It's such a powerful fun Precon that can be modified in so many ways

Max Larsen

Brine Turkey and the gobblers do it again

Adam Kepper

Just a Thursday in Canada, but have a happy holidays everybody!

Pamphleteer

Emily talking about recording for D20 + Murph's hair in the Ask a DM stream = SSO2???

Alex Herndon

How do you not pick a paw paw in a wimple?!

Jaydon

i would love to watch an mtg video also isu is the correct snow commander but i built one for a secret santa gift with chulane

Jorgus

and the starstruck live show that's happening next year. definitely giving us sso2 hints

mail daddy

Man, Jake would love the 2024 fighter.

Noah Muruve

I’d watch the hell out of a magic the gathering session! I have no idea how magic works, but I didn’t know how DnD worked until I listened to your show either. Some business advice for y’all (or just for Cake I guess). Y’all should advertise what you put on your mixed bag tier more often. Like I’m only at the short rest tier and I really have no idea what I’m missing by not paying for the higher tier stuff. You might be able to get more of my money…

Nick

I would LOVE a Commander video. Seeing Murph hit the table with "Krenko Kranks" would be awesome. Thanks for answering my question on my birthday!

Austin Wiggin

I would love to hear the gang play through the pathfinder beginners set. I have listened to those 4 episodes religiously they make me laugh so hard. Caldwell as the dm in there really shined too

Miranda B

I think I would pass away if yall ever ran Delta Green. That’d be everything to me.

Sean

Attack of the Clones Mixed Bag when????

Julia Arbanas

I love call of Cthulhu and would love to listen to y’all play it! Shadowrun is cool too but it’s so crunchy that it would be a lot to learn for a short campaign

Elise Brinkmann

Please please please do a magic the gathering mixed bag

Rotem Cohen

As a yugioh lover and non magic player, would love to see you play magic!

Witpending

Please play Cthulhu!

Skyler G.

I literally had to grab my phone off the counter — almost falling out of the shower, mind you — to recommend that y'all play the Shiver system!! Your character is a horror movie archetype (I was the "experiment" when I played with friends in a summer camp setting) and the system is both easy to learn and has devastating consequences if it comes to that.

Hostage4hire

MTG mixed bag a million times over plz

wizard wearing a poodle skirt

So absolutely true about Murph being less of a hardass, I’m relistening to C1 and there is NO way C1 Murph would have let the Gunk shit fly

Akira

Hell yeah NADDPod MTG mixed bag!

Alex H.

Re: Call of Cthulhu i feel like people make a lot of assumptions about the system but the newest edition is pretty well constructed and covers a lot of the things people are skeptical about (fraught terms like "madness" for example). Also NADDPod is literally full of players RPing being charmed or otherwise being told how to roleplay so that doesn't seem like much of an issue

Hex Sharpe

I wanna play commander with you folks SO BAD, I gotta build a new deck anyway

Blaine McClain

A magic the gathering mixed bag would be great

Mack0Lantern

Would do absolutely anything for yall to do a magic the gathering thing

Colin A Russell

Commander mixed bag would be so fun

Courtney F.

Adding my interest in a Magic the Gathering mixed bag! I stopped playing around the time Planeswalkers came out so this commander thing, and Em's excitement, has piqued my interest again!

Colten Payne

I would love to see MTG

KellBell

Oh gosh, I would love some more Eldermourne!! I need my Zirkuska!!!

Katherine

Such a good opossum meme

Nick

Randomly restarted campaign three after listening to this and Murph is describing the 5 kingdoms 200 years later starts getting into asmodia and sure enough Caldwell yells out “how’s the food, though?”

Phillip Astorino

I am so interested in seeing you guys play MTG!!!

Bradly

It sounds like you guys should try "Monster of the Week" as a potential new system it's a very simple D6 system that focuses heavily on RP and story telling that's incredibly easy to learn and each player class is built around the idea of a different horror stereotype

skat

quick q: couple name gunkshine or moongunk?

Carter Carter

Anyone else chomping at the bit for another jasper william Cartwright guest dm mini campaign?!??!!?!

AJ

If you did do an mtg mixed bag, it could be fun to build decks for each person based on their characters. Like Jake playing Jorn, God of Winter because Calder is snow/ice themed, Moonshine is elves tribal or hugs, Jens is a fight deck because he challenges people to duels, etc… Could even have Caldwell make proxy art for the commanders so they are the characters but have the cards abilities! (Like the Godzilla cards in the Ikoria set)

Lindsay Lee

You guys gotta listen to The Howling Salt Mine — it’s Dungeon Court for Commander MTG!!! The host, Sam, is a huge NADDPOD fan Also any time yall have brought up Commander the last few months I get giddy

Tommy Self

The guitar solo-> symphony comparison is so apt, murph’s worlds have gotten so deep!

Ilana Galpert

a horse in a jockey hat *now i am the rider and you carry me. gallop forth, my steed.*

Sarah Sullivan

Please please please please PLEASE record some MTG with Beardsley for a Mixed or something it would be so sick

froggy

I have never watched Magic or played Magic except once with my uncle and cousin -- and I would LOVE to watch you guys play Magic. Thanks for all the great content!!!

Ghost

I'd watch a magic mixed bag. Also I'm the Merph of my magic group. Everyone knows I build weird stuff and if you let me do my thing then before you know it you're using someone else's hand to play. So I'm usually the first to be targeted.

geekvery

Magic content PLEASEEEE

Ryan

I would 100% watch you guys play magic! That sounds fun as.

Jesse Amdahl

Joining the gleeful chorus of those who would fricken devour some NADDPOD plays MTG

Madelyn S

GUYS FISH ACTUALLY DO WEAR HATS!!! Orcas have recently been seen to wear dead salmons as hats, which was a TREND that happened in the ‘80s with the orca community and has come back

Frogndog

Zaxara is so fun!

Evan Schmidt

Would love if y'all started experimenting with making MTG stuff, my friends and I just got into playing Commander so I'm hankering for Magic too

Kat Sokol

Murph referencing the “most importantly be kind” meme was something I didn’t know I needed

SimpleWater

Shadowrun is my fav system. Really different system but my gosh it's fun!

Alex DiFiore

ABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY INTEREST AMONG ME AND FELLOW NADDPOLES sorry I’m screaming—I’ve been extremely hopeful you guys would play magic the gathering for a mixed bag or something! Friends agreed too ^-^

Kyle Patch

Emily, if you love Simic, look into a Volo, Guide to Monsters deck. It's my favorite commander, because it incentives using multiple creature types.

Stephen Fike

Absolutely need a magic stream or video

Lonestar

I also have a commander deck with that Hydra and I love it. It was awesome seeing Emily play it on Critical Role the other day. She went easy on 'em!

Juicedmark

I would LOVE to see yall do some MTG stuff! I just got into magic in the last few months playing commander with friends so knowing most of yall play as well is awesome! I'm excited to see what systems you all get into with the shorter stories, there's some really amazing stuff out there and I feel like y'all touched on a almost early Shadowrun world with this season and magitech becoming more prevalent

Eric Dong

Please MTG!

CyberByte

I would love to see the shenanigans that Emily could do in cyberpunk red. I'd also love to see the character she would make.

Rageboots

I feel like if Jake were to play MTG he would definitely be a Timmy, and for that I suggest Gishath

Grass

Cowboy possum is my boyfriends favorite meme

Zyrian

I would love to see y'all play Magic the Gathering. It's been years since I've played, and it would be cool to see how the game has changed in that time

Darkrisky

I would totally watch a mixed bag of you guys playing Commander!!

Joshua Qualls

Evidence for murph becoming less of a hard ass as a dm, I recently relistened to C1 and the scene where Beverly wants to shove a javelin in a crocodile’s mouth, murph immediately shuts it down.. new murph would absolutely allow that!

J. Gro

Also, red panda in a tiny sombrero. First thought, best thought!

Ian Mcilwean

Don't worry Jake I knew what song it was from your singing

Don Johnson

I can't begin to express how interested I am in not only watching the NADDPOD gang play Magic, but also to watch you all play the Magic modules in D&D. NADDPOD Ravnica would be amazing

Jude Bialik

[Skaldova spoilers] Came back here from the future to say that I think Jake could really like the Call of Cthulhu system; it’s very intuitive for low-magic fantasy. Skaldova easily could have been a Call of Cthulhu mini campaign. Cults, old magic artefacts, and experimental drugs derived from dead gods are common plot devices in the universe. There’s even a pre-built campaign (can’t remember the name; sorry!) that I GM’ed ages ago that centres around a pitch-black drug derived from an Old God’s blood that’s being sold by a cult to university students.
