Skaldova - Ep. 9: The Descent

The ruckus response from Murph when Emily narrates William being squished. Poor Mr Shits ❤️

Small thing, but I love the maintenance workers having used dark vision goggles in the age of stories. Some good, enriching world building on Jake's part

SNAKE RELEASE! 🐍🐍🐍

Zudrick's downturn at the end of his admonishments makes him sound like he's about to shut off lol

Jake is really killing it with the intros/recaps

i never noticed the chanting sfx at the end, it's actually so creepy lmao

A PORTAL DRUG.

the harmony at the top was really lovely gang

The toe to bow joke from Murph was great

"i lie" dhdkhdksb boggy is a top caldwell character for me

I literally cannot stop listening to this campaign. Still fucking killing it Jake, here's to a second adventure of your creation.

“I’m a shipper,” says the Order-of-the-Oar-er

Surprised that Murph didn’t get disadvantage for trying to attack with a lance in a tunnel, after Caldwell was given disadvantage with a bow… have you guys ever since a lance? That’s what knights would use when jousting on horseback, hardly a weapon for hand to hand, melee style combat! IMO

I love the dungeon crawler setting of this campaign so much 🗡️🍗🪤

When they lowered them over the river it wasn't Mission Impossible, it was literally the scene from Ghostbusters 2, complete with even taking a sample from the river

I love the use that Blackthorn Hall is getting this campaign, one of my favorites of Emily's nondiegetic tracks. I can't wait to see what lyrical piece she comes out with for Skaldova!

Im listening to this show through one headphone while I make charity fundraising calls and you guys just said my name like 7 times in a row like a gattling gun and the next call I made was SO SHAKY because I was holding back laughing so hard I feel pummelled jesus christ 🤣🤣

I need “Zudrick and the Crows” to be a band, like, yesterday.

idk of this has ever been mentioned or referenced-- but there's something a little 🤔 macho man randy savage 💪 about Zudrick's character voice (☆which i love ☆)

Is “snake, release!” inspired by “water bucket, release!” From the Minecraft movie? Or am I just crazy. When I heard Caldwell say that that was the first thing I thought of.

an emily substack would rock my world

Murph is a fucking Aarakocra isn't he?

I started listening to Viagra Boys recently and I think Boggy/Caldwell would really love their song "The Bog Body": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFhMRvnj0n4

I'm LOVING Skaldova!! All your characters are hilarious and make up such a fun party. Jake is such a talented DM already!! I feel so emersed in the world from his descriptions. He's also good at wrangling the shenanigans lol.

Boggy song so good

I say this from a place of having loved all your different arcs, but Skaldova is already among the best. I love all these characters, but Boggy may be Caldwell's masterpiece. Great stuff everyone!

it’s still so funny to me that out of all the running gags and references, nothing, and i mean *nothing*, gets more referenced than POD’s Youth of the Nation 💀

That intro by Caldwell was fucking unhinged haha "oh no"

Skaldova Campaign 2 should be the intrusion of the reality where William Shits dies in to the world.

Thank you Jake for keeping William Schitts safe

the idea of an Emily Axford substack is so tantalizing to me omg I would love that!!

I would definitely pay GP for the wise words of an Emily Axford Substack!!!

Man jakes accent comes TROUGH on this one “as you whispa that” “on the lowa shelf”

Coming dangerously close to hat-on-a-hat territory with those fashion choices 😂

"come on man, being horny is free" 😂

"A realization dawns on you" "No it doesn't" 😂 not a beat missed on that

This trio of idiots might be the most funny collection of characters Naddpod has ever come up with, genuinely in tears when listening to this campaign. I absolutely love Emily as Welly in this!

Jake calling the ship “HMS” when it’s not clear there is a King/Queen was funny. He should run a Master & Commander/Horatio Hornblower campaign, I’m sure there’s a system for it

🐍🍆

"I like sodden things" we know welly

Seeing Zudrick’s hands gave me a carnal release

Does anyone else picture boggy as Radagast the Brown?

Call her Willy the way she keeps her lady’s name out peoples mouths

Slugs and bugs and snakes had me thinking about a song by Anathallo called, "Hanasakajijii (One: The Angry Neighbor)." The lyrics are: "I dug, pulling out the bites of snakes! And slugs and bugs and slugs and bugs! And slugs and blah!"

SNAKE RELEASE !

And now we wait for when carnal release and snake release meet each other 🤝

Boggy is absolutely my favorite Caldwell character. Like he plays him so perfectly. I've loved all his characters...but this one 🤌🏻

The episode ended too quickly I was too immersed..

I love how no matter what, whether DM or player Murph always gets trolled. Great episode

Zudrick is one of the funniest characters in recent Naddpod memory

Not sure if they’ve settled on a group name but my vote would be the Carnal Comrades

i think i love this campaign more than even campaign one 😔

Love Skaldova! Excited to hear Jake is doing a newsletter, but wanted to point out you can do that without having to use Substack, there are plenty of alternatives that can achieve as good or even better outcomes for writers and not be supporting Substack: https://leavesubstack.com

Tired: "that's what she said" Wired: "many a maiden has said that to me"

The whole crew is so good at worldbuilding it's kind of incredible

I imagine Zudrick with all the bugs in his armor, and then clenching like the monster from "Nope" when it silenced the screams.

obsessed with how they always crit using new magic items- the helm, now the sword- so fucking sick!!!

Zudrick has such a little brother energy i love it

Welly's "keep her name out of your mouth" 😂

really hoping this is a longer campaign, i love these characters and this setting SO much

Great song Boggy!!

I get SO excited to see the Skaldova episodes appear!! You're all in absolute peak form and it's been a total joy to listen.

Caldwell's intro song was beautiful 🐸💚

💜🦣

Can't wait to :) :) :)))) Sincerely, Michael

WBN and skaldova in the same day! I am blessed by dice christ. so much good D&D in one day (although, the vibes are so jarringly different lmfao)

I’ve never been this early I’m so excited 🫨

Can't wait to descend back into Skaldova.

Loved the Boggy Rodgers tune, immediately dubbed 'poop euphoria' LMAO

IM SO EXCITED TO LISTEN

Will be binging skaldova on a 10hr drive tomorrow. This new EP is a blessing. Dice Christ smiles upon us
