Peek Behind the Screen - Quarantine Stream!
Dearest Naddpoles,
Since those of us that can are going to be spending extra time at home these days, Murph and I have decided to do a little "Ask a DM" stream on Sunday night! 3/15. 7PM PST. Patreon. Come with questions for Murph. I, Emily, will be your humble moderator for the evening.
Much love to you all!!! Stay safe and healthy!!!! Let's be each other's company! One big VIRTUAL bed!!!

Where can I watch?
it might be out at 7:10?
no
Waiting for a link... Am I missing something?
there will be one in one min
no
Are there any planes of existence from Wizards of the Coast 5e, which you wish you could have gotten to visit in the first campaign?
What instruments do you play Emily?
Thank you guys for doing this so I don’t devolve into madness. It really means a lot. Rocking my Moonstone sweatshirt and overalls and I’m ready for the stream.
Hi! I have a question if it's not too late. Murph, I might be wrong, but it seemed like earlier on you would use different monsters that were higher leveled than the party. How do you handle scaling abilities and stats to make it an interesting encounter but also fair?
Last minute question is there a plan to do a live stream for the final episode of this campaign
I found some chicken wine and I am so ready for this! Thanks for the recommendation, Caldy.
Hey! A question for Murph: when you were designing Bahumia before the campaign, how much of the lore and main quest had you sketched out? Which aspects did you feel like you needed to settle, and which did you want to co-create with players?
Do you have any recommendations on tools you use to manage a campaign?
I know you are asking Murph but I like to use one note. Easy, cloud storage so you can work on the go, bunch of features and free.
Has it started?
it's currently just before 5:30PM PST, so a link to the stream should be posted in about an hour and a half (10PM EST)
I gotta know, was there any chance that the boobs were going to befriend the dragon in last week's episode?
Amazing! So glad you two are doing this, should be super fun. My question is: are there any items or enemies Murph was tossing around but decided not to include? What are the odds we see them in a one shot?
Should we be looking for a post this evening about how to watch and comment the livestream? I'm always working during livestreams so I've no idea how they work!
Em, you've DM'd now too. What if we have questions for both of you?
Murph, how did the very first session you DM'd go, and what part of DMing have you improved on since?
Also, what have you been doing to keep yourselves from getting cabin fever during the pandemic?
I know both of you do a lot of work from home. Do you have any tips for those of us that don't normally work from home who are now telecommuting?
MURPH! I can’t make the stream tonight but I’ve always been very curious about your process for creating a DND campaign. I DM several campaigns and I’m always looking for a good structure to organize thoughts when first starting out. With the new campaign coming up anything you’ve Improved upon? Anything that you’ll carry over from creating the current campaign? Thanks so much! I hope you can answer this!
This made my day! Can’t wait
I decided to dm the starter kit for my nephews and and friends(10-4yr old) we only a done a few sessions as we can only get together in school holidays. There seems to be a bit of 'im better than you' type attitude that goes on like they wanna prove themselves to each other how can i make them wanna be more cohesive? Also their already got big ideas about what characters they wanna create next....how do you pick/create a world to suit the ideas they wanna achieve when i barley understand the starter kit lol
I'd like to know what Murph thinks about the interaction between humans and elves. If humans live 70-80 years, and elves live 700+ years, elves would know a dozen generations of a human family, and their mindsets would be so vastly different. How do you think a DM can build a world where mortals and near-immortals interact realistically?
This might be too late to make it in, but do you think you'll ever make it down to do a show in New Zealand?
So about 10pm est. Monday morning is gonna be rough, but I can't miss a stream, they're so fun!
Haven't caught up (it's a constant battle of wanting to rush through every episode while savoring them at the same time) but I am in quarantine, will there be spoilers?
thank you for doing this!
I’m working! So sad
Thank you for doing this and for encouraging others to STAY HOME and slow the spread! We don't know what the next few weeks will look like, but they'll certainly be less bad if folks follow your lead!
One big virtual bed - guess the virtual makes it still qualify as Social Distancing! Looking forward to it!
Would love a Cece update! Also this is incredibly sweet and we truly appreciate it. This podcast has gotten me through a lot over the past year, and now it’s getting me through a pandemic.
I’m currently trying to get to the US from Spain and relistening to naddpod is the only thing keeping me sane lol. Thanks so much for all you do!!!
You guys are the best creators ever. You care about your fans so much.
Ok, I just wanna get this right. You guys are in PST right now and not PDT? I know they're often mixed up. Where I live there's no daylight savings.
It is PDT!
I’ll be there since I’m also in quarantine!
Was I the only one that mistakenly thought this was now?
Excited!
Just had the same convo with our group. One big Virtual bed!
What's been the most shocking moment to you as the DM? How did it affect what you had planned for the rest of encounter/campaign?
Is this going to be 7pm PST or CST?
they say in another comment PST, they live in LA and I noticed when they talk time it's usually PST, but I can understand your confusion
How do you decide what kind of magic items to give The Boobs and do you create their items from scratch or just reskin another item?
Thank you for doing the fan service. We love you guys. Please stay safe.
Would there be a fun way to turn hardwan into a wild soul barbarian ? I can picture him saying "watch this" as he drains enemy hp and fills up a temp hp bar.
If the Bahumia campaign were turned into a live action movie, who would you want to play some of our favorite NPCs?
Stay safe everyone!!
If you could, what saga of the current campaign would you make into a full length campaign?
How many sessions ahead of the actual play do usually have planned out?
Praise Melora! Thanks, dudes!
Love this for us
Sweet Beans!
IM SO EXCITED
Also Emily what inspired you to DM a creepy/horror one shot? It was absolutely beautiful to listen to and I’m sure we would all love more D-Em(ily)!!!💙
I have DMd a handful of times but the thing that gives me the most trouble while planning is figuring out how to create a boss battle. How do I create a boss that feels like a fun experience without feeling like it completely massacres the party or gets immediately womped?
My move there is to err on the side of caution until I get a feel for the part's strength and weaknesses, and to throw them a softball first. Worst case pump the thing up with some more HP! Your party wont know it!
Near Boobs are best Boobs.
Love y'all, sounds great. I'll definitely hop in for some questions! But stay safe, y'hear??
*I bend the knee* Thank you!
I love this for us!
Nice! Rollin with the Quarantined dice!
Would love to know what was in the other rooms in the forest mausoleum that Emily Dmed! Plus would love to see the stats of the creatures the spook troop fought!? As well as what race + class each do the troop were!?
Ooh seconding wanting to know what else Emily had in her forest mausoleum.
You guys are amazing <3
Stay safe and stay healthy!
As an Italian that will be stuck at home for the foreseeable future, thank you so much for this
What is that in Europe time (aka GMT)?
2am GMT
This is so thoughtful! Thank you so much, you guys are gems!!
You guys are the best.
Thank you for doing this. Giving ourselves a break and virtually engaging in fun human interactions is very needed and much appreciated. You all are the best.
gonna need this when I start working from home. Sending positive vibes, because that's FANTASY DONE RIGHT!
Are we asking questions here or on the stream?
Such a nice idea! Stay safe, boobs. #coronaddpod
Hope y'all stay healthy and as always, thanks for all the wonderful content.
Yo! This is so thoughtful. I’m a teacher and my small (medium size maybe) humans were so anxious today about me helping them prepare for virtual schooling. What a light in the shit you guys are 🙌🤩🤩🤩
I'll be at work so you know I'll be there!
Love you guys!!!! Honest to pelore makes my week better every time I get to hear you guys and your hyjinks

Thank you so much for the entertainment during stressful times. I hope y'all know how much warmth and happiness you give to people. You are all aces, much love for the two crew and the twodio.

I’d assume
This is so lovely 😭😭😭
ONE BIG BED! ONE BIG BED! ^_^
Is it 7pm EST or PST
Almost definitely PST
The perks of being stuck at home! My university spring break has been extended, so I have too much time on my hands TwT
Can we ask questions to all three of the resident Boob DMs? Would love to hear about the one shot you ran for Zac and his girlfriend and get more info on how you prepped for the mixed bag session.
You’re both amazing, my partner in I will watch from self-quarantine💕
What time for UK listeners please?
Add 8 hours
Dear god you guys are a god send for entertainment on during the quarantine.
Woohooo
I'll be there
Yes!!! U are to good to us
Haha, I read “One big VIRAL bed!”
Very cool!
Great idea
How much do you believe a relatively inexperienced DM should rely on preexisting lore before branching out into writing original content, and how do you recommend they jumpstart their creativity?
I WILL BE THERE!!
7pm Pacific time?
Yes
Ooh this is exciting and fun!
this is adorable <3
You guys are the best 😍
A blessing during these cursed times
one big virtual bed is exactly what we need rn thanks you guys :')
Quaranstream
This is a great idea! I look forward to it!
I'll be there! Love you guys! 🧡
