I love when Zudrich gets mad at being called "Clanky" because of how much it reminds me of Steiner from FF9, a character I know Murph loves.
“you have to tell us if you’re a bird”
Jakes marvis voice sounds just like gurgi from the black cauldron
“Fowl-ed bird” is a great line And for “muscular bones” there’s a disease that turns muscle into bone.
There's a special place in my heart for each of the campaigns of naddpod, but this one is quickly becoming my favorite. "Eat greataxe!" "Say it in initiative asshole!"
Activate Lodestar Rune is def 'giving' Power Ranger vibes and I love it
Boggy is so goddamn funny. “Get tripped, bitch!” In his stupid jolly voice is taking me out right now
"Eat bench" is one of my top nadpod quotes of all time
In anatomy lab, some of the skeletons were super mismatched and we would be like "these bones don't match!" And the bone convo definitely gave me really really weird nostalgia 😭😂
Absolutely cackling at "How to Trip a Bird" 🤘🏼😭 Need this for my ringtone (I have full bars)
the zudrick shrug sound effect is surprisingly endearing
Marvis is my favorite voice of this campaign! Incredible
How to save a life on the clarinet made me absolutely lose it
Marvis sounds like Scooby Doo if Scooby were a timid mouse instead of a dog
"EAT BENCH" has been a vocal stim of mine since this episode came out
"You could hang a painting on these bones" gets me every time
My wife (council of Elders Member) hadn't heard of the electric slide until they played it at our wedding!
🎵where did I go wrong, I tryptophan somewhere along in the birdiness🎵
LMAO I'm dying at the R.A.B at the end, this crew of PCs has an insane kind of energy I think I can only recognize in like, Netflix's Castlevania and Dungeon Meshi – except that it comes with that bonus Naddpod sauce 🔥
Jake's voice acting is so good??????
this is my 3rd time listening to this episode in less than a week but this episode is just that fucking hilarious 😭😭 also i love how much zudrich’s paranoia has spread through the group
Jake: excellent work DMing! Caldwell: excellent plug for Lorelei! Got me to start playing, and I’m enthralled. Transported, even!
Meant to did a couple times, but man Jake you are killing it DM'ing. The way this campaign is playing out, absolute art ❤️❤️
I’m obsessed with this campaign and these characters like I’m busting out laughing in public
JAKE you're an amazing DM. You're wrangling the wildest of the wildest, AND your voices are amazing. I know it's dumb to say but I'm so proud of you.
Had to stop listening to this in the airport because I was laughing too much
How to save a bird will live in my head. Also that elevator scene is amazing.
Genuinely excited for the next episode. This series is so fun
Gotta love the traps. I love how this feels so D&D roots. I’m so into this lowly lowly lowly campaign.
An Indiana Bones one shot where you raid a pyramid and he’s the bbeg would be awesome.
What quiet eyes you have, Welly
Ok Marvis’ voice is sooo good and this is a deep cut but it reminds me of that little guy from the black cauldron, Gurgi.
‘Munchems and crunchems’
This is my favorite campaign ever... Jake is doing an amazing job.. (just need to switch to pathfinder eventually :) )
"Boggy prepares another chair."
Jake the voices are soooooooo good
The henchman having a salt and pepper bowl cut was such an underrated detail.
“Say it in initiative, asshole” might be one of the best pre-fight zingers I’ve ever heard
Iconic line, I'll never forget it XD
Love how Welly and Zudrick egged on each other's paranoia re the butt stuff
I've been waiting to hear how Dandy O'Candles died since ep 1 and "beaten to death with his own tinkering mallets" is both perfectly fitting and nothing I ever could have predicted.
victus's voice sounds a lot like jake's impression of the jokester
And Marvis is gollum
"They obviously don't like THIS bench" A glint of glitter amongst a sea of coruscating gold.
I am BEGGING Jake to run a game of Shadowdark I think he would really really take to it, his style is perfect for it
I love Jake's writing, but one of my favorite things about this campaign is the player dynamic between Emily, Murph and Caldwell.
Just repeating “I’m drunk” when you get drunk the first time hit close to home. Not sure if Emily was doing it because it’s audio only but it really rang true haha.
Why is Boggy just Mr Toad in my head?
Yes! I can't unsee him as a toad either! He is 110% not a human in my mind
Man I was really rooting for that bird, I wanted him to at least do something and maybe down somebody
His fate was far greater
just was not ready for "you sick freak I'm drunk" welly is the gift that keeps on giving
the zu crew accidentally avoiding traps is very hot boy summer accidentally fumbling their way thru solving things
Proud of Jake for pulling the voices you KNOW were hard to preform. You’re doing an amazing job brotha keep it up! 👍🏼
Boggy throwing a bench at the sniveling henchman sent me.
☠⚔'YOU SEE THE CRAZY THING IS THIS PHELANGE FITS THIS METATARSAL BUT THIS IS A NEWWWW PHELANGE AND THIS IS AN OLLLD METATARSAL -' 😂 Zudrick my favourite boy
52:00 the fucking groaning metal noise is so stupid why am I laughing so hard 😭
Jake NPC voices supremacy
quite possibly the funniest episode of the whole podcast 😂😂😂
I just love how goofy they are. Murph and Emily playing together is such a recipe for chaos in the best way and Caldwell is just so gleeful in all of it
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is so good! Thanks for the recommendation!
The crew’s seemingly cosmic pull toward bird comedy is why I’ll never unsubscribe
Bird humor is truly a bottomless treasure trove
Bulrick the benevolent more like bluster the benevolent
The first 15 minutes of this episode may be the most hilarious beginning moments to an episode I’ve ever heard. And Jake is killing it with his NPCs!!!!
I tripped a bird and I liked it 🎶
Murph and Jake just absolutely destroying their vocal cords, ya gotta respect it.
ARE YOU SCHOLARS
this campaign is rapidly approaching C1 for my favorite. jake is just killing it.
Marvis sounds like the shrimp from A Sharks Tale that has a nephew that's just a stump
As somebody who's wife constantly says, "My sister had a baby" I agree 😂
The sound effects of this ep are dope. Good Job Emily!
Aw man, poor Jake 😭
Incredible voice work from jake
Agreed, I was really entertained by his storytelling this episode.
“say it in initiative asshole”😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is one of my favorite lines in the whole series, 4th wall broken
I’m 15 minutes in and already laughing hysterically what possibly could happen for the other hour
This episode is just pure delight
Really loving the sounds coming from Jake with all these new NPC voices.
🎶How to trip a bird🎶
EAT GREATAXE!
“This guy is anti-mask” fucking killed me
This episode really tickled me. Unprompted furniture violence. Bountiful bone content. Incredible bird-related cover of a popular song. Incredible. 10/10.
SKALDOVA !!!!!
Alright this ep here really sold me on Skaldova. This campaign rules. Love that Jake's the first of the DMs to really use to a lot of traps, feels like an old school dungeon crawl.
I can’t believe Axford is drinking on the job
I gotta take some notes on how to trip a bird, I can’t get these crows to touch my wife’s dice.
Laughed the hardest I’ve laughed in a while at the elevator trap reveal
Love how bone-forward this ep is right up top
I want to fly like a flightless bird, into the future.
The most nimble flightless bird in history. I guess if you do believe enough you can almost fly.
at different moments all of these characters are my favorite
RUMPLORD!!!!
Oh this is a chode 'sode
excellent episode, no notes 😂 thanks for keeping me sane while I’m writing my thesis
Just a heads up, you spelled cumpanions wrong in the description
jake’s voice work on this ep!!!! INCREDIBLE
EAT GREATAXE! (I attack him)
Cannot wait for the short rest on this one!
Absolutely valiant effort by Jake trying to keep these lunatics on track 🛤️ they walked in ready for violence against the DM
Jake is an amazing DM, though maybe it’s easier when you’re playing with 3 DMs. Love everything he’s done so far, can’t imagine it will disappoint. Very excited for more!!!!!!
Is Marvis Gurgi from the black cauldron?
Amazing pull, I salute you.
Huzzah
emilys laugh at 41:58 sounds like when a cartoon character slips on a banana peel
i subscribed recently and just started campaign 2. i wonder how much further into skaldova they’ll get into before i finally catch up 🥹
How to trip a Bird is a beautiful song brought tears to my eyes
Can we give it up for Brian "Say it in initiative Asshole" Murphy getting some payback for the shit the 2 crew have put him through as a DM. Lmao
I'll be using this line FOR SURE
I love the music so much! I was walking down the street with my headphones and when it started playing I started skipping, which is neat.
Indiana bones sounds like a gay porn😂
What ever you do don’t google that at work
Jake!!! These character voices!!! 🤩
Wonderful reskin of the Tub Brisket one shot
YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, RUMPLORD
A horror of a bird strutting atop a carpet of bones, not a single misstep, the most agile talons, entirely untrippable
*Scaldova - Ep 5: The Parley* me: I really hope they don’t use the side flap
I said the exact same thing when I saw the title
Obsessed with Emily's comment at 10:25, she really knows how to play the 1st time drunk perfectly
“Say it in initiative asshole!” 😂
SO good lmfao
5 min in and I can’t get over how amazing Jake’s Freeza-esque voice is for Victus.
Emily is behaving like me decking out Shadowheart in every piece of Dark Justiciar gear in the Grymforge.
Hyper-specific. Love it.
🎶 Where did I go wrong, I tried to trip / a goddamn bird, but then it crit
Praise be to our prompt king!
the darksouls knight fucking with the elevator is very fitting
4 crits within ~2 minutes of each other is absolutely insane. Also I see you caldwell with your steve miller reference
"this guy's anti-mask!"
double meaning for bone chair really has me laughing harder than i should
🎶how to trip a bird 🎶
was not expecting this beautiful smeagol voice from jake
Victis being an anti-masker in 2025 is an insane pull lmao
Love you guys
Hurwitz had absolutely nothing to worry about. He has proven himself as an engaging and entertaining DM.
Lets-a-goo!
skaaaldoooovaaaaa
Marvis is giving Gurgi from the Black Cauldron
Heck yea! Lovin skaldova! Keep it up Jakey Pooh!
I just screamed SKALDOVA
Emily’s intro makes me smile so much every time. Absolutely love it!
Yessss!!!!!!
NO SLEEP JUST DND
Just in time for my flight!
Well guess I ain’t going to sleep for another hour
Finally
