I'm here 2 years late but BAHUMIAAA
I'm going to see Sol and the Swags this weekend!
Bahumia!
Kenna has a secret second life in Tulsa?
“We are destined for greater things than happiness” is an AMAZING line omg Murph
I absolutely adore that Jake has started calling the serpents Sweetheart
The line "we are, unfortunately destined for greater things than happiness" Hit so fucking hard
You know its gonna be a good episode when murph has to tell everyone to shut the fuck up during the intro 😂
This is the first time I've had to pull over while listening because I can't see through my tears 🤣😭😭
I don't know its name, but god that little sad theme from Eldermourne is gorgeous (starts around 18 minutes)❤
Bahumeah!
Absolutely one of my favorite sessions of all time
“We are destined for greater things than happiness” is an amazing line.
I know I’m late to the party but bravo! What an incredible naddpod installment, start to finish. A wildly unhinged but hilarious intro followed by a cathartic episode featuring Murph’s endlessly inventive encounter design. I’m going right back in for a re-listen.
This was a fantastic one
One of my favorite episodes to date!! And that’s saying something because there are so many gems! Murph you did an amazing job here! And side applause to Jake for that goosebump inducing strategic move with the helmet!!! Keep up the good work NaddPod!
Hello! I noticed that episode 57 and 58, along with their short rests, haven't spawned on my RSS Feed, at least for Youtube Music. Not sure how much influence you have over that, but it would be nice to hear on that app!
#1 intro of the season. CADWELL ON TOP!
I always relate so hard when Caldwell brings up anime lore and I'm just imagining everyone else blank staring at him
All time intro, choked on my Sainsbury's meal deal, 10/10, Bahumia
Incredible episode!!!
Okay when the chess board came out?? Murph. Fucking incredible.
One minor thing that I absolutely love is how Caldwell making a joke name “Swag Daniels” has led to this character “Swag” being talked about in very serious dramatic moments.
And also "Dag Swaniels", which is a name I use all the time in RPGs!
Just truly fuckin love this episode
Narutocore episode in the best fuckin way!
Wow, I was truly just crying at that dialogue with Callie and her mom, so deeply tragic and sad 😢
I really don't think Murph is at risk of the fan base latching on to the whole Bahumia bit. Also, Bahumia!
Murph you have out done yourself. Truly an incredible episode!
Is there a photo of everyone’s fave new game EGDC somewhere? So cool that murph fully made a game for this session
Finally caught all the way up again. Google podcasts is gone so I'm listening on patreon now and if there is one difference I definitely notice it's that Bahumia
Bahumia
🎵Do doo be-do-do Bahumia Bahumia Do do-do do Bahumia Bahumia Do doo be-do-do be-do-do be-do-do be-do-do-doodle do do do-doo do!🎵
Real Karoo energy from Foster this episode
I just have to give a rose to the underrated bit of Emily, seeking Murph’s approval randomly throughout the episode, asking if he is proud that she rolled a 10 and such
Emily once spoke really fondly of the episode of Naruto where Shikamaru plays shogi with his dad after a loss. Really lovely of Murph to give her her own version
The quiet “yayyyyy” from Emily when Caldwell used his bardic killed me lmao Also that checkers game sounds so fun. The whole episode and different challenges are great!
One question, I thought the giant pieces did a d8 of damage, not a d6?
Holy shit, Murph
really hope murph might give us a written version of the game 🤞 - it was so fun and i think would work awesome in so many dnd settings! AMAZING episode, already looking forward to relistening and soaking in all the developments real real good 😍
Eladrin Dragons really popped off with their song "Radiant Damage"
I'm worried about Queen Joviere
Sir you better take the weekend off! Bahumia!
Bro I am going to absolutely COOK at this crooked ass chess game
Sol. Oh poor Sol. I don't think there's any coming back for Swag, but our good frog just can't accept it. Beautiful episode!
“Mine wasn’t an idea” absolutely killed me 😂😂
How big was the game board? and how many pieces for each parts? I feel inspired to make a board in my 3D printer
Csn we get a webgame of the dragon checkers plz? Sounds like a good game in it's own right
Between the absolutely bananas Bahumia energy and the encounter design… just the best. So fun. Liked. Subscribed.
Murph what a gorgeous set of challenges omg
holy crap this was a masterclass
Absolutely BALLER move from Jake at 1:17:25
Don’t smoke a joint while listening to the intro you will be in pain
a left swag and a right swag
The grinch name read made me laugh so hard i had to pause the podcast 😭
Bahumia
A new favourite episode! Emily, the spearmint and tea leaves song was beautiful (up there with kingshammer)
Bahumia
Beautiful episode!!
When did kenna become balnor
Where was Balnor?
Bahumia!
We're in the Age of Introclasm!! They wage war against the intro!!!
now that the eps been up for a few hours i gotta say prodigal sister coming back for that swag scene after being there for the original dream too absolutely made me cry. this episode hit so hard emotionally in such a bittersweet way.
I am such a sucker for "This chamber was designed for you" individual character challenges.
There's a concept in knitting that some people are "knitworthy" these are people who value the skill and effort and take good care of the things you make. It can be devastating to spend dozens of hours on something and see it treated disposable. Sol is learning a hard lesson about how sometimes the people you love just aren't knitworthy.
Bahumia
Maybe the most anime NADDPOD has ever gotten!!! So fucking cinematic!!!!
love the sode!!
"We are unfortunately destined for greater things than happiness" DAMN MURPH HITTIN HARD WITH THAT SPECIFIC MELANCHOLY OF HAVING GREAT POWER AND REPSONSIBILITY
Bahumia!
bahumia!
Bahumia
Bahumia. I rarely ever comment but I've been here from the jump pretty much Bahumia. Love it all and thank you for your efforts and hard work..... Bahumia. Especially Merph who still takes the time to do the mechanics for EP's(Bahumia); Em for those dope tracks that we just lose ourselves in due to the how perf. It fits (Bahumia). All the way to the exasperated intro of the dad (IRL) child of intros AND the absolute FACT bombs/kNoWedge craters only Caldwell can deliver(Bahumia). (Episodes) In case you do read this and need clarification Bahumia. But I thought I'd just take it upon myself to start if not continue THIS.. Bahumia Stamp at the end. Love it hope all is well and and your dreams continue to be dreams cause that's where they need to be, can't have Jakes lucid dreams conforming reality to much.. Bahumia. P.s you're all dope (really cool) but I truly do enjoy Jakes energy so much. thank you all so much
Also I love that I didn't even finish the intro before I started the rant and still hit a hole.in one on those..dot...dot..dots..
murph you better be fast asleep right now. this intro made me smile so much!! so excited about this episode
BAHUMIA
This intro was chaotic beauty
Murph, Did you see the beginning of the Devil’s/Ranger’s game the other night?! Full fight card!
lol, I did. Honestly, the only bit of excitement I've felt about the Devils in a couple weeks!! - Murph
"We are destined for greater things than happiness" may very well be my favorite spoken line from this campaign.
Absolutely!! It's gotta be this campaign's "the world should have protected you" line!!!
If I introduce anyone to naddpod, it's officially gonna be this episode first 😂😂😂😂😂
Some of my favorite moments are when Murph gets triggered because of shenanigans. Please keep driving him nuts!! <3 <3
What genre of music does Eladrin Dragon plays? My guess is Folk Metal or Electric Swing.
BAHUMIA
Can we get a line of BAHUMIAs?
that new song from the callie scene (i’m guessing it was called spearmint & tea leaves) was absolutely beautiful. i can tell it’ll be one that i listen to on repeat if/when it gets released
BEHUMIA 😄
Bahumia! "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at everything in this WORLD!" Love the energy
“Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Everyone.”
i need a compilation of all the times the intro bits have gone on so long they’ve made murph say “everyone shut the fuck up”
Seconded. I would also like a compilation of murph’s “you fucking maniac(s)” while we are at it. Bahumia!
Duck team sucks
Perfect ep!
Bahumia
BAHUMIA
Best intro ever?
Have a good night Murph!! Thanks for the late night present.
Sleep well Murph! Thanks for the ep!
B A H U M I A ! !
Bahumia!
BAHUMIA!
What's the opposite of murph's haters? Anti-haters?
Lovers
Omg perfect timing I'm about to cook breakfast at my bed and breakfast job
Thanks papa s. murph
Thanks Murph, sleep well!
Woke up in the middle of the night and received the blessed patreon notification
