Short Rest - Skaldova Ep. 11: The Collapse

... Lewd Handbook...

Relistening to Skaldova to prep for C2, and I have to know - did Emily ever get her theramin?? (Also, the absolutely unrestrained glee that Caldwell clearly got from envisioning a real D&D handbook page about jacking off mechanics delighted me 😂)

I also am not the biggest fan of spiders, they are creepy. HOWEVER, jumping spiders are weirdly adorable. They’re tiny, harmless, and have cute little eyes. Literally the first or second pic of one on Google images is waving cutely 😭

Zudrick otherwise being so prepared and trap ready but not having a rope leading to him being mind blown by the usage of a misty step is funny

forgot about this one…. I’ve got bad arachnophobia and this ep had me squirming in my car seat on the way to work

Jake! I recommend the book Hidden World if you want to start feeling less scared of bugs. It's great.

Another Parks and Rec reference re: scholars: "Punk-ass book jockeys!" If you know, you know. It at least makes ME laugh. 😆

this episode + the short rests for eps 3, 6, and 9 are not in the skaldova collection folder?

I hope Emily gets to see this see this but it just came across my feed after listening to the short rest https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHJmEQmRBWE/?igsh=ODhna2RleWFoaWZk

I have a theremin and it is in fact difficult to master, but truly so magical and fun to experiment with! Emily would rock it

After this ep i googled “rideable” and it auto-filled “luggage” i hate this

Scoot-case for the win!

Hansel. He’s so hot now.

Crab spiders are the worse I had one in my car and bit me in the middle of my back while I was driving, it left a big mark. They suck lol.

All in favor of extending Skaldova another 89 episodes

Jake mentions a YouTube video on skill challenges, and I thought the concept he used seem pretty familiar! I wonder if he watched Matt Colville's video on skill challenges

Man, I'm so addicted to yalls content, it's such comfort food to me. I've listened to everything multiple times, and I just need more! Thanks for all that you do!

I love Skaldova I want a full campaign in this world!

There is a guy who shows up to my work in a scooter, and he is the most well liked person in the work place by far.

While it's I'm my brain: "what year did it come out" is literally a game we play at work. It started with guessing the age of famous people, but it is a great pass time, especially as we work stupidly long hours. I love you guys playing it now 🤣🤣

You gotta look up the Badgermin!

Little bit of Cinnamon coming out from Emily during that Caldwell Tantan line ☠️

massapequa is local, i’ll grab the theremin and send it over!

I am re-listening to old episodes of the Pod and would like to make it known that in the Short rest for episode 14 Trinyvale from 5/22/20 there was a pseudo segment of “when did it come out” where they all took turns guessing when different disney character’s birthdays were

My DM made the Kruthids (Homebrew version of Kruthiks) the main baddie of our campaign's 1st arc.

Naddpod after hours where they run the kinks and cantrips book

Well, if Emily wants to write space music, why not run a spelljammer? I think it would be great!

holy shit, did anyone else hear jake reference sobe?? deep reference 😮‍💨 and also a sufi here 🙋🏼‍♀️ had no idea there would be such overlap between naddpoles and sufis 😂

Awwwwww. I'm born and raised a Sufi, still have an active practice and it was really nice to get a lil shout out. Cheers, Emily, and Eid Mubarak almost nearly very soon.

My dad has some physical limitations (bad knees) and travels often. He loves his so called "scoot case," because it means he can make it across an airport without deciding between waiting for wheelchair service and experiencing physical pain. He says he gets reactions ranging from jealousy, curiosity, amusement, and suspicion (thanks TSA, almost broke the case on it's maiden journey). I'm intensely jealous myself. I have POTS and struggle with walking long distances, but I travel by airplane so infrequently that I'm not sure it's worth the price. Though we got our toddler a (manual, not battery powered) ride-on carry-on for our last trip, and that was marvelous.

i’m on craigslist all the time! it’s still a thing i promise!

Forget about throwing a cake out a window, I once saw Emily flush a cake down a toilet. Truly a cake hater move

Puh-retty PLEASE play the Star Trek alternate finale as a side episode

Ironically I recently got a tattoo of a ban-sign for electric scooters in hopes it'll prevent being hit by one again.

I know y'all don't think of other countries when looking at stuff. But Japanese business men are the aforementioned "scootcase" target due to how many times they will be be going plane to plane and standing and such. They think it's needed and I think it's neat.

"Its a cursed day im not gonna go into it" emily youre so mysterious.....

Billy Poops!!!

i’ve always been bad with birthdays but yall give me hope that one day i’ll finally be absolved 🙏🙏

It would literally take Emily playing the theremin for me to like the theremin. Found a make your own theremin kit online for 49.95!

Happy birthday Caldwell! We actually have the same birthday!

As a physically disabled person, yes, people are mean and/or weird about it when you're riding something they think you shouldn't be.

This episode came out on my 39th birthday.

Welly physical bits has me imagining her walking into rooms like Kramer

I saw a couple on matching Scootcases zooming around Shanghai Pudong Airport. The thing that's easy to forget is that they have to be carry-on size, so they're comically small. Like child's tricycle small. The pictures really can't convey just how undignified it looks for a 30-something-year-old to be zipping around with their ass 2 feet off the ground.

I’m curious about how long this arc is going to be. I know at episode 9?ish they were saying it was wrapping up, but now they’re talking about going to the bog and also about seeing scholars to get fae cured and Jake having to dm for them in an open world. Have plans changed? Are they extending it? I’m so here for it if they do

Counterpoint: zoolander scooter part is that important

Chitin - pronounced Kite-en

I NEED to hear Em's theremin playing

The imagery of Scootcase is too good!

Razor Scooters were great, we got them in around 2001, they were all over tv. Then we got an pogo stick, was this not an fad people remember or was it just a blip.

When did it come out strikes again!

Welly a gooner confirmed

Jake your narration of the sword falling in after Boggy was so beautiful it gave me chills!

Bug fun!! Thank you Caldwell! 😎 💜🪲🕷️🦗🐜🪳🦂🐛🦋🐞🕸️💜 Love all sorts of arthropods

As we are winding down this arc in this amazing world Jake created, I am wondering if we will ever get an Emily World to join the NADDPOD universe? ( I always like to think of them as planets in the same universe; i.e. Brandon Sanderson Cosmere) We have already had some brilliant campaigns in the Bahumia pocket planes, but I would love to see Emily's take on her own world with her own pantheon and cultures to work with!

my mom has 5 kids and has raised several other people's kids and she never forgets her friends birthdays lol, I think it's a uniquely yall thing

Skaldova Season 2: Lair Of The Bookwyrm

Incredibly childless Emily and Murph: "Just wait until you have kids!!"

*slowly backing into the shadows as i realize i am an outlier that has full mechanics for carnal releases and thought everyone else did too*

Emily wants to do sci fi music soo... NADDPOD sci fi series confirmed?

I am also 39 and don’t know anyone’s birthday. Feels good to see myself reflected in the media I love.

Losing my mind that I am older than Razor Scooters… I feel like they’ve always been around.

Emily should read children of time if she thinks spiders are other worldly!

when jake said “skaldova finale” i dropped my phone

i am super loving of skaldova's story and open worldness -- and then birthday conversation is so funny :,)

Those “cute” clover mites DO bite and they itch! They’re also called berry bugs (or more commonly known as chiggers) and they are no fun :(

today’s my birthday and i feel the passive buff caldwell feels RIGHT NOW

Xanathar’s Guide to Jacking Off took me out man

If Caldwell doesn't Shoebody Doo for his next birthday is it even a real rebirth?

I literally just listened to the surprise round with the scooters and Caldwell brought up them riding scooters on stage in that episode as well

Hearing Emily talk about how much she'd love to do spacy music suddenly has me craving a Bahumia Spelljammer mini campaign.

Are there 100 spells????? Baby there’s like 350+ depending on if you’re counting TCOE or XGTE Sincerely, A DM who once tried and failed to make a spell card for every last spell

Birthday conversation is just a surprise edition of When Did It Come Out but “it” is each member of the 2 crew and here “come out” means born lmao

While I was listening to them talk about scooters a kid across the street absolutely wiped out on a scooter…

Wonderwall guitar guy? No thanks, we have a Monster Mash Theramin girl!

Did anyone else have to learn the suit scootin' boogie in middle school?

The talk about carnal release mechanics reminds me of the old mixed bag where Emily did a book report on a dnd book about sex

I'm surprised you didn't segue into when the Segway came out.

God man. Emily is the most intellectual player and I’m so here for it. Like it elevates the play so much and makes listening so enjoyable.

every year i forget we're birthday twins (May 19th). happy belated birthday Caldwell!!

Such a great episode, haven’t listened to it. Thanks for having this out on my birthday!! Every girls dream!! Thank you guys for making it special!!

love the shout out to Sufi poets. this, friends, is why we pay the big bucks

Using death save mechanics for the carnal release really is perfect because iirc the female orgasm is referred to as "Le petit morte" in French which means "the little death" (I didn't google anything cuz im at work sorry if this isn't 100% accurate)

Welly is Qui-Gon Jinn: a character with a personal connection to a hire power, trapped in an institution that has lost its way.

I've never bought anything on Facebook Marketplace, but my friend and I mostly just like to look through it and send each other links to any cursed things we find on there which is fun

Happy Birthday Caldwell! You've earned the praise

context: murph took a tiny L and uploaded the short rest as "episode 10" and not "episode 11"

11 btw. Gonna keep it going

happy belated bday caldy

The rare naddpod typo

This podcast is falling apart. Can't even keep count now with Jake at the helm🙄

Here's to 50 more episodes of Skaldova!!!!

Murph messed up! Murph messed up!

11..........

Episode 10 or episode 11 ?LOL:)

Episode 11 but who’s counting

Episode 11 btw
