Major bud... heavy for Balnor being in this episode.
No way anyone would see this, but this short rest is missing from the campaign 3 collection!
Came here to say this, glad it wasn't too far back in posts to find
The massive adrenaline rush I felt the second I heard Balnor, I pray the victory feast is Tuna Sandwiches and Bud Heavies
I shouted a huge Vader style "NOOOOOOO" in the middle of the street when the Dentist Died.
You guys should try camping in New Zealand. There are literally no animals there that can hurt you so it's relaxing to sleep in a tent cause any noise you hear has to be from something cute. Like a silly flightless bird or a possum.
Hey fyi this ep is missing from the C3 collection. By the way I deeply appreciate the campaign-specific collections. I was in the middle of a C3 relisten when those were created and it's so much easier. But I had to go poke around to find this one. :)
commenting cause I also noticed this! hope they see this
Balnor's appearance literally made me cry. I was so excited.
Me too 😭 I didn’t guess it ahead of time either so it was such a surprise
I screamed so loud about Balnor that I hurt myself
As a godfather, I can confirm that nothing is done to confirm that you are a godparent. I mean, you CAN go to church, but when no-one in the equation is religious, it’s just a WhatsApp message.
I think Jake genuinely loves balnor
Emily, please take your friend up for camping in Maine! But also, kinda love a short rest where they stay focused and excited about the ep 😊 Bravo 2 Crew!
Large scale battle, huge power level increase with getting to use the Wyrms, the funny jokes, the badass action, incredibly cinematic wonderful ep. The Thicccest of 'Sodes. And then the ending made me emotional and excited and thrilled. Love.
Birdo definitely makes PE fun.
Battle of the Starlight Tempest ( or something )
I’m just happy my BFF is back
I listened to the episode yesterday and i have to thank you so very much for running this at the time you did, I am running a session for my players that are attempting to grow to godhood to stop an eldritch elder god from invading the material plane and they where planning to recruit a floating sky giant church and the army of its god, but diplomacy bores them and i wanted something to spice it up with so now my army of sky giant paladins is being besieged by an army of demons.
Come to Maine! Camping is good, but also other things too!
Anyone else getting One Piece Marineford Arc vibes from the battle coming up?
I live in Maine and grew up camping.. other people was never a concern of mine.. though we camped far away from people
Balnor being named after Balnor needs a song written about it, "I'm My Own Namesake". To the tune of "I'm My Own Grampa".
Rose to Caldwell for “Starfire Emissaries” 👨🍳💋
I have done a fair amount of camping and earplugs are a great fix for sleeping. They definitely improve the experience.
Anyone else really want campaign 4 to be BOB.
It would be really interesting to see Moonshines reaction to the current state of Bahumia and the impact their decisions have had in a few hundred years. Especially since Moonshine stressed so much in C1 about the rramifications of alot of their decisions given that the whole theme of C1 was the same thing except in the aftermath of the Legendary Heros campaign.
6 months from now the BOB will be pulling another knight card from a deck of many things somewhere on the Astral Plane and Balnor from this timeline will just show up so confused.
was that... the bear?
So I've been binging all of NADDPod for what feels like 3 days, but it's probably closer to like a month, and damn that Balnor reveal made me wish I had started listening a week later, so I would have next week's ep now
I want to tread so carefully but I fully don’t remember what DS stands for 😂
Dipspit
Totally thought the young stag would be Moonwon or Beverlin, but when I heard Balnor’s voice I absolutely shrieked with joy. Going to slam a few celebratory Bud Heavies.
This is the only short rest I HAD to have
I just heard that A24 signed the grinch for the NADPOD multiverse movie.
I like to think that Balnor was acknowledged in history books, but instead of using his name they memorialized him as "Guy with the Bag" or something
DS was peak
you motherfuckers have never been camping????
Much love to the episode absolutely amazing, but Concentration checks are done with your Constitution score not your spell casting mod. Unless you guys run it different then my b
Very funny to listen to this & the camping chat while working at a back country camp where I take people into the woods year round. Pooping does involve a shovel
I hope one day I can take my campaign to a place where I need a spreadsheet of d20 rolls to keep things running smoothly
Murph, if you're reading this you did an amazing job running that battle...or even if you're not reading this, I guess!
PLEEEEASE give us another episode of Baggin it with Balnor!
So happy to hear Matt Colville getting some love 😊 I love that guy
Same! I mentioned it in the main episode feed, but I think Murph would love the monster design in Flee Mortals. Also think the class design they did is way better than base 5e, just more interesting and dynamic. Emily would probably love the Talent or Beastheart in particular.
Literally teared up when Murph brought Balnor back into the mix. My absolute favorite character in the NADDPOD universe and my favorite halfling in any fantasy universe bar none. I'm a day 1 Balnor lover.
Love the ep. Was hype when I realized Robert was Bobby. Murphy for summoning the allies for the final fight. Baldurs gate 3 has a mechanic where for the final fight you can spend an action to call/summon allies to the field. (Example summon 2-3 fighters or archers to provide support, summon a monster or construct available, or request 1 big healing spell for the whole fight)
Shout-out to the time honored tradition of checking the fan wiki to make sure the timeline works out
If we’re only three episodes from the end of the campaign, I’m guessing we’re not going to find out what’s happening with Gruumsh. I hope we get a mini-campaign with the Band of Boobs because I was really intrigued by that storyline.
They have to do something with that story. The fact that this campaign is the PC's dealing with fallout from decisions made by the Boobs in C1 and the Boobs, Moonshine especially, are just gallivanting around in space instead of fixing the problems they created comes off as so out of character. There has to be some larger glimpse given to the conflict in the astrastral plain that gives some insight into why it feels like the Boobs have abandoned Bahumia.
I wonder if the final battle with calling allies will work like it did in the Fantasy High: Junior Year finale, where the have to roll for it
For anyone who wants a sample, the minute and a half pre-start screen cinematic from the 2005 Shadow the Hedgehog game. You are not prepared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaTa-wJIWZ0
Love the gaslight anthem mention! One of my personal favourites.
If they send Balnor to space, I wonder if he will meet his poop there. (From C1 when he pooped in the space room of the goblin tavern, can’t remember the episode number but I think it was somewhere in the 60s)
The Balnor reveal was one of the best moments of an already amazing campaign! I miss that guy!!!
This was my favourite episode of C3. Another example of Murph being truly unrivalled in encounter design. Played it clean. Told us HP/damage/rolls and just balanced it perfectly. And yet more impressive In story telling and hyping up his players and their choices. + the reveal at the end felt perfect.
He really is. Matt Mercer & Brennan have their own skillsets that they’re untouchable in but Murph continually sets new standards for interesting, engaging encounters. Encounter King 👑
The battle was so expertly balanced. Like, both mechanically and story-wise. I wrote to a friend who doesn’t listen to the show like - Murph just gave them two giant flying monsters with an insane breath weapons i’m scared of what’s to come. And listening to the wall almost being taken down was almost scarier than characters falling in while battling a dragon king because there is no healing potion for that, and the consequences of that are so so so bad. And then to win in the last possible second and meet Balnor. It made me so happy.
It was an honour to have sonic hold me in his arms both pre and post pandemic. Can’t wait to be a fully grown adult busting down the doors at the movie theatre (dressed as shadow) on opening night for sonic 3
When they were talking about a combined Balnor bag, all I could think was BAGNOR!!! I’m imagining just a talking bag with a bushy mustache.
And a voice like a baby that eats cigars.
BALNOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok has anyone else ever met the vampire ranger in the Berkshires? We went backpack camping once and there was a ranger who had a display of furs, but it was a nighttime ranger activity showing us bones and furs. He even said he did nighttime star walks for folks on certain days. He definitely had sharpened canines… but he was very nice and very knowledgeable!
Camping has always been the best place for a good night's sleep. If I've got a bad sleep schedule from stress, a camping trip is the best way to reset that.
Bangin' It With Balnor
Hoping with c 3.5 we get another 2 crew zoo crew
I now deeply crave a Trinyvale Triplets meet Shadow the Hedgehog episode
I bet they really like his vibe, which of course makes Sonic even more miserable while around them. They’ll turn on Shadow by the end, though.
Murph please tell us!! what's your favorite gaslight anthem album
I'm here for the gaslight anthem conversations. Sink or swim is my favourite, but the 59 sound has some of my favourite songs. What about you?
Matt Coville/MCDM is a river to his people. Naddpod plays Draw Steel when?
re: ghosts in the woods. I once was a counselor walking along a path that kids were NOT allowed on late at night. Had my headlamp on. Saw some kiddos up ahead and the both froze, I turned my light off… and they ran back to their cabin screaming. I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t technically supposed to be there. Makes me chuckle a little tho
I haven't started listening yet but I'm curious if this war that just went down was the war the OG Balnor got pulled from
This episode had me so hyped at work that I had to explain to my boss what I was listening to 🤣
Ep posted at 420
Literally been refreshing all day for this lol
Oh hey!
Medford misses you
This episode was so good!! been waiting all day to hear their thoughts lol
