I like to think Zudric has permanent advantage on attacks against creatures that consider him a friend
Ahhhh skeet skeet, Welly Welly Ahhhh skeet skeet, HammDamm
COOKING LUBE.
Them calling him little Jon is frying me
William shits died just like Kozuki Oden
Casual Cassian mention! My name never appears I'm media I'm feeling ever so chivalrous right now!
Everytime I hear that damn piano I think of Laura Palmer from twin peaks
Same!
For some reason Skaldova feels more like a home game to me. Especially this episode, where Jake just plows through the laughter to get the recap going, while still laughing a bit. I was just doing that my home game last night.
Crow Tuah
They really missed out on naming him Toadstar.
"Shepherding these animals like a deranged Noah" is possibly the best line ever.
I love listening this a second time straight through!! “A lowly squeak in the symphony of the universe” is now mine forever!!!!
Dear gods, I just totally had to google “til the sweat drops off my balls” 1. I’m old 2. Time to clear search history.
Murph; "Should I spit on that thang?" Is the funniest thing I've heard all year.
I love how concerned Zudrick is about Welly's self-esteem
This is a great campaign. I'm really glad Jake did this and it awesome to see Murph, Emily, and Caldwell in a new dynamic.
Loving this story on all fronts each PC is excellent as usual and excellent work each sesh Jake. Would love to see more DMing from him in the future.
Jake dropping bangers CONSTANTLY, I can't get enough of all yall in this campaign
Jake had no reason to ever be nervous about this, he's an incredible story teller! Hearing his confidence as a DM rapidly increase is so fun too
literal wormsign
Still loving the dynamic of paranoid Murph discovering the traps and Jake gleefully describing what they avoided. They're all such good players and performers that it doesn't feel disappointing or anything. I cackled so hard at the details about the inside of the dirt tunnel, and the guillotine trap.
It feels kind of crazy that boggy is one of the most well-rounded, entertaining characters in all of NADDPOD. A classic Caldwell character but he hits so powerfully each episode
Okay, I’m just gunna say it, I’m absolutely on board with this becoming C4
Yes!!!
Cloud Rune is so comically OP especially in a 'world without magic'
I love Jake's colourful descriptions of the gang when they are doing something completely bonkers.
oh no they totally missed the opportunity to redirect the attack from the window to the wall! i love jake's dm'ing more and more every episode
"THE HEART IS A COMPASS" t-shirt when?! (2nd choice: "shiny, slippery, and free.")
CROW TUAH MURPH??????? CROW TUAH?????
William Shits...the perfect...frog name
I love how Boggy sometimes comes out as Blavin.
crow tuah 💀💀💀
"Boiled" is possibly one of the funniest Naddpod moments
I keep confusing myself lol because I’m still halfway through C3 but listening to Skaldova as it comes out so I thought the live shows already happened. But I don’t live in the US anymore so I can’t go to them anyways 😭
Oh god, I know it already had blood all over, but that helmet is gonna be absolutely rank...
Absolutely god damn. That's a perfect weapon.
The heart is a compass 🥹
Welly's prayer is one of the most beautiful moments in media. Period. I was riding my bike to work and crying. I love this campaign so much.
I can't believe we got a "spit on that thing" from Murph of all people 😂 him being the one to say it makes it so much funnier 😂 I love this show
The crow-tuah had me laughing my ass off
"SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!" -Jake, Dungeon master
An all time Jake quote XD
CROW TUAH NOOOOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHA
This campaign is ecstatic chaos. It's giving sincerity, it's giving 'oops all troll wives' - they serve, and I'm here for it.
if the shits fits...
This would be a 4 episode series if you didn’t have lunatics at the table.
As funny as the bit was, 17+5=22. Welly didn't need to fall 🤣🤣
I need a t-shirt that says 'Should I spit on that thang?'
I need a shirt that says “crow tuah”
Sun Flare could get an upgrade at some point to cast Thunder Step, but substitute Radiant/Fire damage.
22:26 “Someone DO something!”
Great episode. The couplet of Emily reading Sir Wilma Hamdam and Murph’s description of it made me laugh a lot.
William Shits (the river toad not the man) aka Froggy Rogers
no one is talking about crow-tuah
LoL the little John thing is synchronicity, I've encounter a lot of that with your guys podcast.
was there like a little extra clap-beat stank on the intro recap song this time?? or am i just imagining things??
Thank the lord lads was about to have to drive 2 hours with nothing. Jake absolutely killing it, and my god if this isn’t some of the best characters yall have made. Caldwell especially, clears every other character of his no diff.
I LOVE BOGGY SO MUCH
i laughed OUT LOUD when murph said “should i.. spit on that thang?”
this is not in the skaldova section for me :/ fell to my knees bc i thought i didn't have access
absolutely lovee the music that plays while Welly prays to pull out the sword 😭😭 like I rewinded to relisten a couple times
Was callie inspired from love island?
I’m only half through the episode so forgive me if somebody already brought this up, but why not Froggy Rogers? You could collect more and have them be Froggy’s Buds
Froggy Rogers and his Flock of Froggy Friends
an intro suggestion for emily! welly hamdam thank you ma’am!
the hawk tuah joke truly threw me off so much
boiled.
I literally spit my coffee all over my kitchen counter and sink, just finished cleaning it up XD 🤣
the best part of my week is when the new skaldova episodes drop. the worst part of my week is one hour later.
lmao Jake the DM, "someone DO something!"
History is Alive!!
A dm saying "Somebody do something" when a pc is suddenly rolling death saves is so funny.
“Should I spit on that thang” is certainly a combination of words I didn’t think I’d ever hear Murph mutter
What subclass is Zudd rocking in this campaign? I know they mentioned it on air but I'm a lazy asshole and can't be bothered to listen back and figure it out.
I believe it’s a homebrew one called SteelHawk
16:03, ‘boiled’ really got me
CROW TUAH. Arrest that man officers
I almost spit out my coffee at "spit on it"!
I hate how much Crow Tuah killed me, I had to pause the episode to take a second
Nice. Niiiiiiiiccccceeee and slippery. So lubed and so it shall be.
Every single episode of this campaign has left me breathless with laughter. They cannot go 5 minutes without delivering the best content, this is so incredible. There is so much love, and even more laughter.
never knew I would love players NOT falling for traps so much
SKALDOVAAAAA
Skaldova is my favorite campaign so far! Absolute peak NaddPod! Please make this a full length thing !!!
I almost choked to death on "H A M D A M"
Not to be too dramatic, but Boggy telling Welly that the heart is a compass gave me chills. Him usually being so chill elevates it, and it's a statement that also feels very Boggy. Loved that.
i was just about to comment something of the same sentiment- it’s such a beautiful moment between the two
SPIT ON THAT THANG MURPH OMFG
did murph just hit us with a hawk tuah refrence in the year of our lord 2025!?
55:32 "shepherding animals like a deranged Noah" made me laugh so hard.
The resignation in Jake’s voice as yet another thing goes totally off the rails and he realizes, more with every episode, why Murph calls them maniacs all the time 😂
William Schitz just feels like the right name for him. first thought best thought
I know this was supposed to be a short campaign but I really hope you keep this going for a while it is so good
Loving the music in this campaign! Really reminds me of the Twin Peaks theme
Also gives me Stardew Valley vibes ✨
Actually laughed out loud multiple times. Truly love this crew lol
William Shits the Toad 💜
Willie and Welly 🐸
Justice for Murph, get low by lil Jon and the east side boyz is a song that does rock.
Lil John is the king of rock guitars in club bangers.
I hope they di another surprise round soon. I've got a killer question.
I hope you get picked if they do 🔥
Help! There's so much lube in this episode I can't hold onto my phone 😫
Love!!!
Crow tuah! Spit on that thang!
“Zudrick throws up through the grate in his helm”
Really good storytelling
RIP Boiled Will
Crow tuah was criminally under appreciated
I fully spit out my drink. Murph deserved better for that lmao
Welly almost dying has gotta be one of my all time favorite moments from this campaign
I'm not sure how it's possible but this is the funniest campaign. Like don't get me wrong Trinyvale is hilarious, and I love the Duck Team's awkwardness but somehow this just takes it to a new level. The charac ters are just a perfect storm. Maybe it's cause they are all playing slightly off type from what they would normally do and it's bringing a weird energy or maybe it's just the specific combination of these three players and Jake as the dm for whatever reason but I die laughing every time a Skaldova episode is put on.
Being the dm for the 8-bit book buds, sounds like a dream, and for it being Jakes first time, he's doing great! Honestly skaldova's one of my favorites so far!
Dripless
some good ol' pvp always lightens the mood
R.I.P William Shitz, Boiled in Cooking Lube and put in a stew.
Zudrich should multi class as a swarmkeeper ranger.
oh my God MURPH
spit on that thang 😩
Les gooooo
GIVE ME A HEMP!!
MILK!
The gasp I gusp! yay!
Thank you I’ve been waiting for what felt like years. Very big props to Jack he’s great
Let's goooo!
Finally had an episode pop up as I was on my phone hahaha
zu crew zu crew
