Questions for this week's Short Rest
We're recording/posting the Short Rest early tomorrow afternoon and would love to incorporate your questions! The focus will mainly be about this episode, so we'll likely favor questions about this ep and the current arc. Ask away in the comments! Thanks. <3 Murph
Comments (272)
Also, is there any chance of seeing th NADDPOD set up? because i wanna see your room (less creepy than that)
Have you ever created something, that you yourself have feared?
Is there a chance any of the boobs could be re-incarnated as STARSPAWN?
A little late to this, but for Hardwon and Moonshine: how does it feel to have done a worse job of scoutmaster than Denny Pebblepot? He never had a greenleaf teen die
I would argue that has a full fledged Green/Grey Knight, he isn't really their responsibility
I’m prob too late but I want to know how the crew chooses whether to call Brian/Murph one or the other. I noticed Jake often calls you Brian but Caldwell and Emily say “Murph”
What are each of your top 3 favorite arcs? I think there's been about 10 of them now if I'm counting right: Moonstone, Ezry, Galaderon, Crick, Smuggler's Bounty, Frostwind, Faewilds, Shadowfell, Gladeholm, and the 9 Hells
If Beverly gets unceremoniously and brutally killed by the tarrasque, what are Caldwell's plans for the rest of the campaign? Will he make a new character, or take control of an existing NPC?
What is the battle music used in NADDPOD?
I was wondering as I was listening if Apple and Mavris are levelled up to match where the BoB's are, or if they are closer to their original stats.
Mavrus is at least level 14 (wings), and we can assume based on previous return guests levelling to match the party that Mavrus and Apple did, too
What was the inspiration for Jvellin's accent?
Here's my question: Why do you guys like playing with our emotions?
To everyone: Love the show and the characters! If you could choose one of your fellow party member's abilities or powers to have for yourself, what would it be? Examples are Hardwon's Luck Points or Bev's Touch Hands. This also includes Mavris and Apple.
Yugo died in an alternative timeline, does that mean he could still be alive in the current campaign?
Daddy Murph: did you think of altering the Tarraqsue (I.E. lowering the AC, removing the spell defenses) so the Boobs have a better chance? Or at this point is a TPK a legit fear you want floating out there. For everyone else: bigger threat? The Tarraqsue or Yugo?
Did you know that you’d have Apple and Maveris for the Tarrasque encounter when you chose it as one of the hollow goddies? Would the boobs have a chance without them?
It seems like the Tarrasque fight was predetermined to happen first. Is there a reason why you chose that one instead of the others?
Questions about meta-knowledge and strategy when it comes to encounters like the Tarrasque. 1. What did each of you as players know (or think you know) about the Tarrasque and how did (or didn't) that translate into your character's actions and strategy? 2. Did you discuss your strategy as a group off mic? If not, do you wish you had? 3. Brian (you're Brian this week), was there more the Boobs could have learned about the Tarrasque's abilities if they had done more in-character research?
NO Question, just love. You guys hear the most cubic praise per fan out of any fan base I am a part of and I think that points to just how good this podcast is. You guys have an unmissable dynamic, Murph might actually be god considering he can make a mistake and still not have it play off as a mistake and overall better the campaign, and I can't stop consuming Nadpod content. Thank you for making my life so awesome, I leave for south america in two days and I have downloaded one playlist for music, and one playlist for Nadpod.
Are you guys planning to do an interlude of adventures/one shots between campaigns? Maybe dive into the adventures of the original Legendary Heros???
Seeing this is the ending arc to the campaign, if one of the boobs were to die how would murph incorporate this new high level character into the story being that there might not be enough time for a good enough backstory?
QQ for the Donkey Messenger: is there a world that has more guest characters but due to scheduling conflicts were unable to appear in ours? Thinking of how cool it would’ve been to hear Yugo! do a super sick trick down the wall!
Who does Jake think Gemma should end up with, Hardwon, Jivlin, or the pale prince?
Murph, in epic battles like this, would the band benefit from attacking other enemies (giants in this case) to free up more dwarves to help?
Can you briefly go through what abilities, feats, etc the guests’ characters have gained in their time off screen?
If bev does die, will Caldwell have to roll a new character or is there possibly a preexisting character or characters he could choose instead?? Loving the shows you guys btw make me look forward to every Thursday 💕💕
IS OUR BOY OKAY?!!
Dear Murph, who hurt you?
Does amir finally understand the appeal of dnd?
My question is for Murph. First of all, how dare you? But also, did Hardwon not have one more Luck point to use on that last fail? Or can you only use one per turn? I forgot
He had one left, and has used multiple on a roll in the past. However, it's a panicked moment, and there's also no guarantee that the luck point would actually help
Is there any chance Dead-Eye snuck back through the doors of death and could make an appearance, too? (Maybe sneaking through the doors of death is a Percy Jackson thing.)
Also, is this the worst anyone has felt regarding an impending death? Is it as bad or worse than when Hardwon was turned into a vampire?
Question for Murph: If Beverly dies, how are you gonna sleep at night?
How long ago were you planning on Scrumper and Maverice coming back? Did not see that coming but both are delightful!
Apple Scrumper can commune with nature! Mavrus has wings! What other cool new tricks do you guys have up your sleeves?
Murph, if they get this monstrosity to eat their asses, will they level up at least 2 levels?!?!
Could the BoB have chosen to split up or go after a different monster? Also, how has Scrumper been spending her free time to have gained as many levels as she did? What ability does Apple Scrumper have that allows her to jump 70 feet into the air?Since guests are returning, will we see MR. Tinkle ever again?
Do you still have any Uku berries in case you need to make the Tarrasque vomit?
Murph did you modify the Tarrasque in anyway or are they fighting it just straight out of the monster manual? For the boobs did you guys have any idea what you guys were up against?
To piggyback, if they could restart this episode would theh push for Oathgarr to help fight Tarrasque?
Is there any will they, won't they tension lingering between Moonshine and Hardwon? She seemed to like his new bod, and while she doesn't have a mustache I'm sure earthchild Moonshine is plenty hairy.
What happened between Hardwon's time at the dwarphanage and when he met Gemma?
How frustrating is it to fight something that is pretty much resistant to most spells that cause damage?
Will we ever see the Band of Boobs visit Irondeep?
Is there a reason the tarrasque targeted Bev over the other characters?
He rolled a 2 on the luck check for who it would target
Did you have a lunch with Zac and Siobhan to figure out whats up with their characters at this point? How difficult is it to bring two other people up to speed on whats happening in the story and level them accordingly? how much were you involved in that murph? Sorry lots of questions Todah
Zac and Siobhan listen to the podcast!
What are the Boobs' go-to moves for when they need to be someone's wingman?
If there’s a total party kill at this stage do the boobs roll new characters or does Murph have a monologue written about who wins Thiala or the God Husks?
How did it feel for Caldwell to make a new character after bev died?
Did Siobhan record live in the studio with you? When Apple was introduced it seemed like Emily was as surprised as moonshine. How did you manage to surprise the players with a new person recording?
Hey Murph, Isn’t a Terrasque meant for a Legendary Party of 5 or more leveled 20?
They had a whole army behind them and could easily have waited on the wall for them to wittle it down. The fight was crazy hard but winnable with the right strategy
Was there any romance/re-ignition of the flame between Lucanis and MeeMaw during their side quest?
P.S. great job keeping Mavris and Apple Scrumper a secret. And thank you for giving me more excuses to say Apple Scrumper over and over.
I know you actually said where Ol' Cob was but we need that hilarious SOB back in the campaign. Can Caldwell draw the spooky dino so we can see it to scale and truly take it its awesome glory?
Is Luna still alive?
First, I absolutely flipped my shit when Apple came back! Question for Jake: did Hardwon not have a third and final luck point to try to save Bev? One was used to try to hit the dino, and one ended was the (narratively amazing) reversal to a Nat 1. Are you feeling regretful over not being able to save him?
Hey Murph! It was really cool to have old guests back on the show for the big battle! I was curious if you asked any of the other guest stars to be part of the battle? Also, how much did they have to level their character, are Zac and Siobhan used to playing such high level characters?
Caldwell, if Beverly is killed but could be reincarnated, which race would you most like to see Beverly become?
Murph, are you still mad about the #strongCaldwell incident? Was this your plan so that you could finally replace Caldwell with Zac?
This one is for Maverisk. Uhhhhh feels bad about your spell list man! The rest is for everyone, In what way do the BoB feel like they could have prepared better.. This is a specific counter to your usual party play. I'm very excited to see the solution you guys pull off!
When bev was struck down how did you feel Caldwell? When they decided on Terask to fight did it disappoint you it were you excited? Given there were 3 other gods they could have fought. What would have done if they randomly decided to fight Theala instead?
Witcher Ep 2!
was it hard to KICK the boobs asses last episode??
On High and Mighty’s latest episode Jon Gabrus was asked if he’d ever be on NADDPOD if asked, in which he said he’d love to be on (he used to play D&D quite a bit). Any chance you’d be able to get him on?
Does Hardwon still want to meet his dad? Or is he kinda over it now, since he's met his mom and knows his dad's kind of a gourd?
Ok we know you bulk record campaign episodes. Is it hard to sit on crucial info while you record the short rest? (Like, especially now?)
If Beverly does die how will a new character be introduced to the party after being so close to the end? On a lighter not how do you guys feel about The Witcher on Netflix?
Well, we know they're a Yennefer family...
Emily - given the occasional utility of taking a level in barbarian, are you still happy that you multiclassed or do you wish you’d picked a different multiclass or none at all?
Murph - How did you choose which husk-gods to have potentially return? Like what made you pick those particular 5 in the first place? Also, were there any that you really wanted to get through so you could play them, or because you thought it would be a really cool battle or story line?
Can we get a small hint at the ideas you have for Campaign 2 characters?
I'm interested in the cosmology of Bahumia—you've had plenty of mention and dealings with devils, but you've just included Juibelex and Fraz-Urb'luu as demons. Does the Abyss exist in this world, or are you just conceiving of them as evil gods here? I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT EPISODES, AHHHH!!! Love you guys <3
What are your plans if you make it out of this war alive? Are you going to disband and go into hiding like the last group of legendary hero’s? Or do you all have something else in mind for your characters? What’s going to happen to Balnore? He has no one in this timeline except for y’all.
A non-canon question, is there any hope for a Sonic the Hedgehog cross-over episode, similar to the DK one-off?
Scared for my boy Bev, its going to be very stressful until I know the outcome next week.
Question: did the BoB have the option to go fight at either Irondeep or Hillholm instead?
How DARE you, Craigslist Murph McMurphy? How DARE you?
What the FUCK, Murph?
Where's Tonathan right now? I want him to slap some dino ass.
Murph we all know its going to happen, just fill us in on the details of how Tonathan Tinkle is going to swoop in at the last second to save the boobs. I'm imagining its a somber scene: the Tarrasque finally knocks all of our heroes unconscious after a long battle. Mavris takes the final blow after bravely defending the city from atop the wall, Hardwon and Bev lie unconscious in the cold snow together after Hardwon shielded young Bev from the Tarrasque like a father, Moonshine has one foot into an afterlife of paradise with Pawpaw in her arms having done everything she could to protect the innocent, and Apple Scrumper is perched up against a rock coughing up blood refusing to die in a rage but unable to move due to her wounds. The city's walls are starting to collapse from repeated Frost Giant barrages and Tarrasque charges. Somewhere far away Akarot's laughing maniacally. Thats when Apple Scrumper sees it come into view.... An enormous flying contraption with some sort of claw hanging underneath. The contraption flies in closer and it reads in giant letters "SS Scooper". Tonathan Tinkle nervously approaches on his home made airship and flies overhead the Tarrasque, lowering the claw and scoops it. Moonshine feels a warming sensation in her heart. Tonathon knows what he must do, he opens a planar portal into Pandemonium and drops the Tarrasque where he knows it can do no harm. We think all is saved, but thats when we see another gnome climb out of the planar gate as the SS Scooper comes back through. Its a small gnome with a variable height between 2'9 and 3'9, gold teeth, a vest, and is balding. What have you done Tonathan? You rid the world of the Tarrasque but at what cost? A great evil only rivaled by Orcus, the Demogorgon, or Asmodeus lives once more, Yugo has returned to the Material Plane.
A fun little variation on FMK for Murph: We are calling it Eat, Lick, Suck: my ass, my asshole, my whole ass (This was one of my favorite eps and I can’t wait to see where this goes! Thank u Daddy!)
Were you guys planning on having other guests attend this session for a harder raid battle with the zombie dinosaur boy or are you maybe planning for other guests for the other husks👀👀👀
Murph, if Bev dies does that mean you have to take Caldwell out back and shoot him like a sick dog in real life?
You guys did a great job secretly hiding that Siobhan Thompson and Zac Oyama were at the table during the start of the episode. Are they secretly at the table for this recording, too?
How does this instance of the cursed d20 manifest itself in-game/role play? It’s seems like luck points are often dealt with outside of role play, but will you somehow incorporate that the previous trip to Hell was in some way responsible for the way the episode ended? I just think that’s very narratively interesting and I know Jake understands this is his fault, but I just want to make sure Hardwon does too ;)
Murph, Are you willing to let a main character die this close to the end? If so, do the BoB all have back up characters ready to go?
Q2: what level are all of the characters? The Tarrasque has such a high CR that 5 lvl 20 PCs would have problems. Are the NPCs intended to balance this a bit?
How are the other two Hollow Gody fights being resolved? Murph, are you playing against yourself off-screen? Or perhaps will the BoB need to save the day, should they survive the Tarrasque?
How do Apple and Mavarice's stats work? Are they leveled to the party's level or just close? And did they both stay the same class?
They’re definitely both still the same class, and Mavrus is at least level 14 (wings), which is what the party was last we heard. Based on previous treatment of returning guests (Tonathan), we can assume they’re the same level as the party
Is Yugo gonna come and save the day??? #YugoStyle
@murph do you think the podcast has enough time left in order to have another guest if so would you consider Lou Wilson
Was this recorded during the annual getaway?
Where’s Jaina?
Not strictly about the episode but can you get my brother to stop singing ‘oh stunkbug and gunkbog’ to the tune of seven nation army
@Caldwell if bev does die would you rather him be reancarnated revivified or you roll a new character
Caldwell: Do you worry that Bev's crisis of faith will effect what may happen if he does perish?
First of all: HOW DARE YOU MURPH?! Second what was the inspiration to not only bring back Mavarice the Unschooled but also Apple Scrumper as well?
Where are the Divine Hearts that were formerly inside the god husks?
Does Akarot fully control the Hollow Godies, or because they're gods, does he have very limited control. Being that Akarot didn't say anything in the Terasque fight...also if Bev dies, I'mma cry Brian
Based on Alanis’s response to Moonshine’s question, sounds like he pretty much has full control!
What other gods would the BoB liked to fight or Murph, what other demon Lord's devils or gods would you have liked to incorporate?
Will we see the battles of the other monsters!? Also, that cliffhanger was brutal..
Not a question, but I genuinely cried a little when I realized you were bringing guests back to help, and Deadeye wouldn't be able to to join. I guess kudos to the narrative that you created, that I wasn't thinking in terms of players, but their characters.
First of all, HOW DARE YOU BRIAN
Please answer this question first.
Oh! Also, did the Tarrasque choose to target Bev most of the time because he was on the ground or because it was Akarot-controlled?
It kind of seemed to me like Bev just got unlucky. The tarrasque tried to target Hardwon too because of proximity but Hardwon’s shield protected him
How did you decide who was gonna be apart of your "Avengers assemble!" Moment? Just scheduling issues or something else?
Did Zac just ask if he could have wings or is that a high level tiefling thing? Also did Apple multiclass?
Level 14 draconic sorcerer thing! And Apple got Commune With Nature as a level 10 totem barbarian, if that’s why you’re asking
What is everyone hoping for for Campaign 2, or do you already have certain things picked out (race,class,etc)?
Murph- how did it feel to go full Nick Fury and assemble the team? When did you know you wanted to bring Apple and Mavrus back into the campaign?
For Emily/Moonshine - How long does a heroes feast keep if it's in tupperware?
For Murph - You asked if there was anything the party wanted to do in frostwind before the big bad dino arrived. Was there anything the party completely forgot about that they could've done prior to getting into the fight that might've helped them?
Can someone else roll for Caldwell since he's clearly cursed by the dice? Please?
Where was Paw Paw during the battle? Doesn't he get some action during Moonshine's turn?
I was curious about the logistics behind an episode that feature surprise guest stars! Did you record the episode in segments? Did you discuss beforehand that the BoB should go to Frostwind, as the Terrasque requires more high-level heroes to defeat it? Either way, the episode was seamless. My fingers are crossed for you all in the next episode!
Did Bev ask apple to take him with her or did she just pick him up and jump on a dino's back?
Jake - Which felt worse not using a luck point to save Jemma and realizing you could have or Using a luck point to saving Bev and rolling a cursed 20 that's been laying in wait for SIX EPISODES!?
Had you guys (the PCs) ever heard of a Tarrasque before this episode? Did you know what was coming when Murph describes it as a “large siege dinosaur”?
What are your thoughts on how to stop Pendergreens if he ever betrays the boobs?
murph you once said that cooter is your favorite non-essential NPC. were u worried about him whenever the bob asked him to come? how does it feel now that he is the most essential NPC? cooter backstory? please any information on cooter at all
Will there be any consequences for the order they fight the three hollow goddies in?
Murph, what possessed you to throw a Tarrasque at the characters? Did they get you poor Christmas gifts and you were just like "fuck it"? :-)
What is the worst case and best case scenario for your characters right now? I think i can guess Bev's
If you could recruit any character from a film/book/game to help in this fight who would it be?
Is there an upper limit for using the reincarnation/ revivivy spell in this arc? Moonshine, counting on u.
Revivify is limited by spell components, of which there is (I think) only one left
Caldwell, How are you feeling about the possibility of introducing a new character this late in the campaign if you fail your death roll?
Little innocent lore question, how advanced are clerics and paladins in Frostwind? Like, anyone around who can Revivify for example? Just curious.
To Murph: what is the most challenging aspect of DMing this (absolutely incredible) campaign, is it writing and incorporating the story elements, or do you find it more challenging to come up with interesting and difficult encounters? To the Boobs, similar question but I'm interested in which you find more engaging and enjoyable: the role playing of the story or the battle encounters?
Hey Murph, Murph? Why do you hate Bev? The duel with his dad, the lich fight and now this? (Jk) Real question: If the Tarrasque eats Bev, can he be reincarnated, or would half digested mush not count as "part of a dead creature"?
To the players: how much did you know about tarrasques coming into this episode and how prepared did you feel to fight one? Murph, how did you decide on which “gods” Akarot would try to bring back?
How are you (Murph) deciding the other battles? I know you've said in the past you wouldn't kill any beloved characters "off screen" but considering how dangerous this encounter is it feels like plot armor might not protect all our favorite NPC's.
If Bev dies would Caldwell prefer resurrection or to play an avenging Erlin?
This may be a bit crunchy but, how much did you change the Tarrasque. Does it just have extra necrotic resistance? Or is it quite a dramatic change?
If deadeye hadn’t died/ascended would he have been present for this battle?
Question for Murph: the knight from the deck of many things will serve until death. Given Bev drew him, If Bev dies, will Balnor go rogue or disappear?
Murph how nervous are you when it comes to accidentally terrasquePKing everyone? What's the sphincter situation?
Murph how much fun are you having using the tarrasque? Now who's getting womped ? Lol
It seems like the gang knew Zac and Siobhan were coming, but how tempting was it to hide them in the garage until the moment was right??
For Caldwell! If bev dies and there is time for the quickest reincarnate ever between fighting gods what would you have him come back as?
Is the current arc the final arc? If not, how many are planned?
Question for Emily and Jake: if Bev dies, who tells Erlin and who tells Martha Toegold?
When Beverly inevitably perishes, what will Caldwell's new character be?
You all wound up fighting Jubilex the faceless, Fraz Urb'luu the prince of deception, and an invincible Tarrasque on the material plane. You also prevented three gods from crossing over. Based on the descriptions I'm guessing these gods were Yeenoghu, a giant gnoll demon known as the "Lord of Savagery" who's hunger cannot be slaked. Demogorgon, the prince of all demons, who's touch can wither flesh. And Tiamat, the five-headed queen of all chromatic dragons. If you had the chance to choose which three you had to fight, which gods would you swap and why?
Was a major characters death planned to ramp up the stakes?
You can’t plan the death of a character in DND, encounters never work out like that. However, there’s also essentially no way to fight a tarrasque without at least SOMEBODY having a near death experience, so
Did it hit any of you that the campaign is really coming to an end now that we’re at the “favourite characters victory lap” stage? It hit me and made me super sad!
How long were you planning on getting Apple and Mavrus back into the gang? Did it just line up or was this always the goal?
For all: it felt as though, probably due to editing, you all were set in going back to Frostwind. First, was there any desire to go either as a group or solo to a different location to fight a different husk God? Second, possibly metagaming, listening to the different God husks descriptions and monster difficulty wouldn't going to Irondeep been the better match-up for the boobs? It would have also given Hardwon a chance to get the last King's Hammer and with Hero's feast y'all are resistant to poison damage had a better chance against the Jubilex?
Are the boobs going to get to fight the other hollow goddies?
Did any of the Boobs' decisions this episode surprise you, Murph? I think what mainly comes to mind for me is Moonshine wanting to use the Thinking Cap, but with Mavrus's reappearance back in the campaign, I'm not sure now if that was premeditated or not.
In war not everyone makes it out. Hard choices need to be made (Like the Allies letting some ships be sunk to keep the secret that they had broken NAZI codes). If one of the free cities had to fall to save the others, which would the BoB let fall and why?
Is Balnor still blessed? I don't think he's rolled a Nat one since, but he did fight separately in the 7th ring of hell, did he use it there?
I personally loved where you cut the session this week Murph! How do you decide an appropriate place to stop as DM?
How much did Murph have to cut out of the battle scene as the characters were stumped by the magic shield? At first the team seemed tentative, as I know I was listening.
As the campaign comes to a close, has the band of boobs felt that their characters achieved the original reason for adventuring? Ex. Moonshine to collect a spore bank, Bev collecting badges. If not, How do you guys flow so easily with these changes? Love the show
For Murph: how did you plan out (if at all) the cliffhanger at the end of the episode? I know it’s impossible to predict that Bev would be right on death’s door, but were you trying to engineer a super dramatic moment or did it just happen naturally and you seized on the opportunity as it arose? Asking cause I’m in awe of how freaking awesome and compelling that particular moment was.
How do you balance combat? I either have to pull my punches because they will die or my players whomp me easily? I want challenging but bearable
Murph answered that many times already. It's already discussed in Brennan's Adventure Academy.
What are some significant events from Cooter's past that have shaped him into the man he is today?
Fuck marry kill the 3 gods that made it through.
At Jake: How many tears will/have you shed for young Bev?
Can we get some info on Zac and siobhans characters? Is everyone the same Level? Has Apple taken any feats that make her magic? GET CRUNCHY
Can murph describe the other 3 gods that didn’t get through and how and where in the world they might be implemented?
For Caldwell. Would dying so soon after saving your dad and not ever rekindling with derlin wreck you emotionally??
Could Hardwon have used a luck point to save Beverly?
Yeah, they’ve discussed on a short rest that he could use a luck point to get out of the curse, and Murph’s allowed him to double up on luck points before. There’s no guarantee it would have worked, though
If theoretically Bev dies do you think he will be resurrected as a revenant if so murf would there be anyway that he could come back since I’m sure Palor/Malora might see this as a A unnatural death
Love the show guys! How early in advance had you planned for us to be surprised by Zac and Siobhan?
Did any of you guys get an Endgame moment from Avengers?
If your main characters were to kick the bucket what would you choose to come back as?
If you won enough soul coins in lust , could you create a new soul? for example, if you gave Hardjuan those coins does he become a 'real' person with an afterlife?
Caldwell! If Bev dies (andbdoesn't get revived in time) and has to be ressurected, would you want to play a pre existing character, a new character, or binky? Would you play an iron dwarf like you rolled in one of the more recent short rests?
For Jake: We listen from Dunedin in the deep South of NEW ZEALAND! Who runs the most vicious "V"? Cob, Jvln (our awesome sweet as bro!!), Human Hardwon, half elven Hardwon, Josh (pre pendegreens but post cross fit), Galad (controversial) or Shay (Damn that yoga/pilates physique kills). Love you all from Deepest darkest Nzulnd (New Zealand or Aotearoa (Ow tay are row ah) in the Local Maori language if you wanna give that a spin?)
Can Caldwell's loaded dice please be Paw Paw express mailed back to the Boobs for this next session??
So good to see apple back - what had happened to the field elves? Can we get a bit of their story?
Seconding that! How many of them are there, roughly? Have they been bothered by the Chosen? Have they joined the rest of the newly formed Elves?
Was the intention always to have the Boobs fight the Tarrasque or were there situations for every choice ready? It seemed like the NPCs were prepared to go to the other monsters, but I’m curious as to if you had plans for them for each choice. Also, had any of you heard of the Tarrasque before? It’s a pretty famously difficult monster, so was anyone excited to fight it?
FMK- Apple, Mavris, and the tarrasque
Do any of you read the Discworld book series? If not I highly recommend them. But I noticed a superficial overlap between Hardwon and a character call Carrot in Guards Guards. Carrot was raised by Dwarves, fell in love with a bearded Dwarven women and was tall even for a human. But Carrot doesn't realize that he isn't a Dwarf and has loving adoptive parents, unlike Hardwon. Also Carrot has taken the Lawful aspect of th Dwarves to heart and did not want to set out on adventure like Hardwon.
Murphy: Would you ever try to get everyone who has guested in the campaign to come back for one big final battle sequence? It would be a huge undertaking, but really epic.
hey why did you hear "immune to magic" and immediately think "yeah we want our sorcerer friend to come along" i mean im joking my real question is did any major strategising go into this fight? i know emily has a tendency to think things through, so what kinds of strategising, aside from waiting it to use its legendary resistances, did you go into this battle with? (also available to the others i just know emily is a strategiser at heart especially as the main spellcaster)
i mean not that i wouldnt literally die for mavrus whomst i love with all my heart and appreciate the sheer chaos energy from the combo of zac and siobhan but man
Do you think Bev is gonna die
Howdy - With Erdan and Mema, resurrection is clearly an option for player deaths. However this late into the campaign would you still consider playing a new character? (potential bonus question) What class / race of milk bathing skeleton would you be?
Thoughts on The Witcher series as a whole?
Hi! Long time listener, first time commenter. Does Ulfgar smoke/know Alanis smokes? Do they burn down together, and that's where the crush began? Or is the toking something Alanis picked up just before the campaign after the campaign? I just want Ulfgar to exhale a fat cloud and say "indoobytably", haha.
For Bev - are you preparing in any way for that important roll? In other words, are you letting your superstition get a hold of you, picking the best die possible, or are you going for pure luck hoping for the best?
So what are you guys going to do if Bev dies? Both in game and story wise.
At least in-game they have multiple options for bringing Bev back if he dies. Erdan is a necromancer, Meemaw is super high level and can possibly resurrect him, and Moonshine can reincarnate.
Daddy Murph: Will you let Bev get to collect a terrasque tooth?
Murph: How did you decide which epic monsters to use as the "Hollow Goddies"?
@Caldwell. Do you imagine scenes from the show as cartoons in your drawing style? If not, how do you visualize these scenes?
I have two questions actually! 1) I enjoy the fact that it doesn’t seem as if the PCs have plot armor and that they can actually die, which only raises the stakes and makes the podcast even better. So if Bev were to die, would he play someone like Erlin or Balnor, or would he make a whole new character? And 2) How did you organize bringing back Zac and Siobhan, and did Emily, Caldwell, and Jake know they were going to join? Thanks!
Any chance of coming to Glasgow?
Did the Band of Boobs know what they were getting into when they decided to fight the Tarrasque?
Did anyone go into battle with the thought their character could die this episode? Will there be more previous guests popping in? IS ANYONE ACTUALLY EMOTIONALLY READY FOR THIS TO END?!
For Murph, when you were planning out which gods/beings of high power would be hollow goddies, what made you pick the ones you did, and were there any you wanted to pick, but decided against
Is the tarrasque that BoB fights now in any way nerfed or in another way modified so that it suits the campaign better or is it straight out of books one?
Based on everything it’s done so far (five attacks, line spells failing, 25 ac, +19 to hit), it sounds like it’s right out of the book, except for having the undead typing and likely being resistant or immune to necrotic damage
2 Crew: Were the guests at the table the entire recording? If so was it hard to contain the excitement?
Are Red and the others near by? Would they be able to help out for this fight?
Murph: How excited were you going into this fight knowing the Tarrasque's AC? Murph: What is your favorite part of the Tarrasque?
How much did the Band of Boobs actually know about the Tarrasque before agreeing to fight it? Because it kind of looks like Murph is a little too giddy about what they've gotten themselves into.
Concept! Next campaign could you do it visual as well as an audio?? Possibly a new tier?? Similar to Dimension 20 with maps etc or just keep it the way you’re doing it but with visual also!
How bad could Pendergreens possibly be as the new ruler of hell? i think he suits the role quite well.
How scared was everybody when Beverly went down and are evil dongen daddy left us on that cliff hanger??
@DM When planning the session, what was your plan on where to cut off the episode originally? Did you always plan for it to be when the tarasque is about to kill someone for good, or did you have a different ending in mind?
At everyone. Does the BoB have long term plans for the ruler of hell or is Pendergreens gonna have Geas casted on him ever 30 days?
It REALLY sounds like Emily is still planning on having Moonshine take the crown
For Murph: How much were you counting on some of the God Husks getting through to the mortal plain?
Did everyone involved know that Zac and Siobhan were coming back, or was it a surprise to everyone except Murph?
Why didn't you call on the powers of the feywild and shadowfell to help in this encounter?
Hey Y'all, my question is if we are going to see all our favorite guests start reappearing to help fight the god husks(Adam,Nathan, Maybe Brennan?) or will it be Zac and Siobhan joining the boobs in an epic fight against all of them?
For Murph and Jake, do y’all plan on combining the King’s Hammer? Does dad master have a plan if hard-one decides after this encounter to let that happen? Did jake even consider it during the downtime before the big encounter?
They don’t currently have the third hammer to combine with his current two - that belongs to MacGannis, kind of Irondeep, who they haven’t seen
Alright first question: Cooter’s a cleric. What’s his domain? Also, will Caldwell be rolling a special d20 next week? If so, which one? If not, why? Fun tip for bad dice: Use white sage and lavender to bless your die. It works. Thank you guys for all your hard-work. Love the show.
im pretty sure cooter's not technically a cleric, but just a guy with some medical knowledge and a fistful of Goodberries he can dole out when people go down but #wherewascooter
Mavris and Apple have clearly advanced since we last saw them. Are they at the same level as the BoB’s? Can the ghost of Dead-Eye come back to help out as well??
Mavrus is at least level 14 (based on the wings), so they’re almost definitely the same level as the Boobs! (This would be consistent with what they’ve done with Tonathan, the only other returning guest)
1. How dare you, murph? 2. Are we going to see any other returning guests in the remaining episodes? (Was such a wonderful surprise to hear Zach and Siobhan back!)
#wherewascooter
Any hints to the plan if Bev dies?
Murph! What was it like DMing for so many people on a let's play podcast? What are tips you have on DMing for a large group of players (how to maintain interest) etc?
Is Murph going to allow reincarnate to be used again if Bev dies, or will it be off limits? It was briefly talked about during one of the short rests so I’m curious.
1. Who do you think you are? 2. What gives you the right?
Is pendergreens powerful enough to use resurrection. I do remember Murphy saying that ilsed could do it if he had a persons blood
They said a while ago that he would be able to un-vampire Hardwon, but it would likely come at the cost of getting “the Deadeye treatment”. I’d assume that would be the same for Bev!
At Caldwell. Have you prepared bevs last words if you fail the death save?
@Murph how do you prep a monster like the Tarrasque? What are you keeping in mind when planning such a difficult challenge, and are you sometimes just hoping the PCs figure out a way forward without planning any potential solutions yourself? Curious about the process behind higher-level encounters like this.
What would Beverly Toegold V’s funeral look like?
Being on a comedy dnd podcast you guys have to be like old Cobb and keep it light, but in a situation where your character’s life is on the line do you find it tough to not freak out or are you able to pull a hardwon and build the walls up
In campaign 2 will y’all miss pawpaw too much and therefore have to reincarnate/pay some sort of homage to the power that is pawpaw? Love you sweeties!
Absolutely fantastic episode! What led up to getting Siobhan and Zac back on the show?!
How did it feel for Mavris to have to become a magicless badass?
How did it feel to have friends like Mavris and Apple back?!
If a character is swallowed by the Tarasque, can they attack it from the inside?
I can answer this one : the Tarrasque would just chew them up first. And Murph already said that the inside of its mouth is as hard as its carapace.
Can we get a hint for Caldwell's backup character for if Bev dies here?
Murph, did any of this final arc come from any kind of original planning for the campaign way back in the day? Or was it mostly implemented as the boobs navigated and impacted the world?
If you haven't already finished recording the next episode. What is your game plan to defeat this beast?
Was bringing Apple Scrumper and Mavris to the fight planned? Did the Boobs suspect that you were bringing them back? ✨✨
Can Beverly use 4 d20s for his death save with advantage?
Question for PawPaw: Would you like it if Moonshine cast Awakening on you so you could be like MawMaw?
Would Bev’s death be enough for the remaining boobs to align with Thiala, should she offer to resurrect him?
Will Bev come back as a ghost?
What was your biggest concern about hell before you arrived?
When Alanis mentioned sending different people to combat the Husks, did any of the boobs seriously consider splitting up from the main group to elsewhere?
What other DND podcasts do you folks listen to and enjoy?
Will the second campaign take place in Bahumia?
Last word on it was that it’s likely to be Bahumia in the distant future!
What the hell is gonna happen if Bev dies
Other than the fans crying and rioting?
How did you decide which guests to bring back, and what was it like having two guests at once? How long ago was that planned?
Worst case of course, may bahamet keep you
Who cleans up after you guys leave a scene?
Question: Murph why u do this?
How much have you been thinking about beverly possibly dying?
How did it feel going up against a tarrasque? Did you guys have any idea of its capabilities beforehand? I feel like it's the holy grail of dnd encounters. Haven't had the opportunity to tackle one yet!
If Bev dies do you have a big enough mailbox to handle people shitting in it?
If Bev ends up during, what would Caldwell like to be reincarnated have
Since we're approaching the end of this campaign, will there be any opportunities to have new guests appear, or will any of them have to wait until a new campaign is started?
What are the BoB’s new year resolutions? Pendergreens?
Will Caldwell have another character on standby in case Bev dies? Like, if he does will he just sit out all episode? Just a sad thought I’ve been having this week
