Do you guys play any board games? Or just DnD?

This is not really a Question but can Beverly make the fiddle noise from episode oneNo matter how many times I watch it I laugh

If you weren't playing D&D what fictional setting would you like to play a Table Top RPG in? (Starwars, Game of Thrones, Marvel Universe, Pokemonn, Tiger King ect.)

Ran my first game as a DM over Zoom today with a bunch of my friends who’ve never played before! Just wanted to say thank you for everything I’ve learned from the Bahumia and Trinyvale! Any plans for the next Trinyvale episode?

Will we see Luna again?

What Dnd race would you be in real life if you had the choice?

Is there something that you all have wished you have done diffrentlly in the campain

With Moonshine being a druid and the only full progression spell caster, how does Emily feel it compares to 3.5e druid? I know the popular opinion is that 3.5e druid is an overpowered monster, but Emily's first hand input would be interesting to hear?

Could bev end up replacing pelor?

What kind of ending do you want for your character? Murph for balnor

Has anyone ever read the Discoworld series of Fantasy books by Terry Pratchett like Guards Guards? They are satirical fantasy books that are worth a read. If so, has anyone noticed the superficial similarities between the character of Carrot, a human raised by Dwarves?

Will Bev ever deal with his crush on Mavrus?

As the campaign is wrapping up is there some decisions looking back on them you would’ve done differently?

where is LUNA???!!!!

We’ve met so many great NPCs and guest characters along the way, and we’ve got to see a lot of them come back in recent episodes. Which of the “side” characters would Hardwon, Bev, and Moonshine like to be best friends with and “bro out” with the most when this is all over (specifically not in a romantic way). And then same question for all the players and Murph

Because y’all record in blocks Is it difficult to pretend to not know the outcomes during the short rest?

Which of the band of boobs would handle quarantine the worst?

What classes are a the boobs seriously considering playing for the next campaign? Btw, just wanted to give a shout out to Murph’s DMing style. Inspirational stuff.

All the boobs who've DM'd so far have made up their own settings. If you were to run a game based on one of the official sourcebooks which would you choose?

If Moonshine hadn't asked Balnore his favorite food and given us the glorious (...................... chicken.) moment, how far was Murph ready to take the witch's game? One player death, two? Would their deaths have been part of some fey games trickery?

Any update on a game?

Would Emily ever release the chords for her One Big Bed song? Learning it is my kind of fun quarantine activity (also girl why are you so talented I'm so jealous)

Have any of y ou u played shadowrun and would you consider a one off

Not sure if you've already answered this, but what's your take on other D&D podcasts like critical role or The Adventure Zone? The title of the podcast, and your tag line ("campaign after the campaign") implies a kind of desire to set the story apart from what already is out there. What makes NADDPOD different, do you think? (P.S. Love the pod, if that wasn't obvs).

What genre would you most want to play other than fantasy?

Your characters are almost level 20, if you had to choose to multi-class now, what would you pick?

I was re-listening to some of the original episodes again and it made me realise how some running jokes and phrases started as far back as episode 1. What have been your favourite long standing references or callbacks?

Mental health check. How's everyone doing? What's the biggest change in your lives since all types of Jamboreens got super cancelled?

Will there be any references to Paw Paw in campaign 2?

How does it feel to be so close to level 20? You guys are like gods now. Same goes to Murph! How does it feel to be DMing a campaign for this long with so much lore?

What sort of positive things have come out of the quarantine situation for you guys? I know we’re all focused on what we don’t have/can’t do, but I know it’s also allowing for some creativity and good things too. I’m tackling painting this giant bone dragon fig that will probably take me 10 years to do lol

Hey gang! My question is for the Nobuo Uematsu of the group aka Emily. Have you thought about writing a song with lyrics for the finale of the campaign that will be sung by everyone?

What do you think the campaign after the campaign after the campaign will be about? Are there any issues cause by the chaotic shenanigans of the Band of Boobs that you think another unlikely trio might have to clean up in another adventure? What roles do you think the three of you will play in their story, à-la-Thiala or Ulfgar?

If you could change the outcome of one dice role from any point in the campaign, what role? Why? And what effect would it have had?

What is the weirdest character trait your character gained throughout the campaign? What’s something that developed that you never would have thought of at the start?

For Jake, Emily and Caldwell. If you could bring back one pc that you’ve met on your adventure to fight with against Thiala, who would you bring. (Deadeye, Apple, Yugo etc.)

If Moonshine used Goodberries to make a pie, do you think it would automatically win in a pie making contest?

Bit of a tech question for murph. How much extra or less editing is there of the podcast now that you are doing it remotely and what software are you guys using to communicate (eg. Discord)

Has this Pandemic given any new ideas for Murph for his writing process either for this campaign or season 2?

Will your next campaign be in Bahumia again? Maybe years in the future?

Murph, you told me about the Zoom H6 and GarageBand to record, but how long does it take to edit an episode on average? Keep up the amazing work, my dude. We all really appreciate all your hard work.

Like how you have Bahumia and Trinyvalle, for season two will you have a mini series again? and if so will it be live or video recorded? like Roll20 or Twitch Live or Tabletop Simulator?

Is not a question, I just wanted to let you know I named my cat after Emily (her name is and always will be Emily Megatron)

Also thanks again for the show and all the amazing content you guys do for us 😍😍😍 you bring more laughs into a world that needs them

Do you plan on ever writing and releasing any books or other material based around Bahumia or the campaign in general? (i.e. Playable campaign book, stories, art book, behind the scenes stuff, etc.)

Would the band of boobs ever do an evil campaign or where you werent exactly the good guys? Example would be i guess FireFly?

What recording software have you guys been using for remote recording? It sounds great, I wonder if Jake will be flying out less after you guys get used to doing it this way?

Assuming availability wasn't an issue, who would be your dream guest on NADDPOD?

Does having an npc with the group help stimulate roleplay for the b.o.b?

Did you guys ever imagine naddpod getting this large? How does it feel to have such passionate fans? I know you’ve impacted my life and many others and I also just want to say thank you for that.

Would you guys ever consider doing a one-off in a non-D&D game system? If so, which one?

If there was a moment in the campaign that could have turned out differently what would yours be?

Will moonshine get a better (permanent) sword than rosaline or is the thinking cap her god tier item like the queenshammer or the bird-killer?

How does Hardwon feel about the king of frostwind making him his "heir"?

Hope you're all coping well. What's something you're looking forward to doing when isolation is over?

Technical question here: So what are the technical properties of a divine heart like if you are a warlock does it make you more magical or if you are a fighter does it make you stronger

Fuck, Marry, Kill: Retrieval Team 22

Daddy Murphy, were there any magic items you thought about giving the BoB but decided not to?

Is hardwon ever going to get together with Jaina? Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat.

Murph, technical question: what program are you using to a) host the conference call and b) record the audio? My group is really struggling with playing remotely. Laggy/distorted audio is a big problem and also mixing from one audio track is damn near impossible. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Also what level is Balnor at this point?

If the Boobs get to the Divine Heart, will they instantly level up to 20 or will they just get special abilities. Also question for Murph, if things look real bad in the last fight, would you allow certain sacrifices to be made, such as Hardwon’s beard, Bev’s amulet, or Moonshine’s thinking cap to aid the party. Like extra HP/extra damage on attacks?

Hey boobs, Love the Podcast, I’m excited to listen in every week! It’s inspired my brothers and I to start our own campaign since we’re all quarantined together. Thanks for getting us all through this tough time! Murph, I’m a budding new DM, and I’m always running into the issue of having a great idea for a character in my head, but not being able to find a correlating monster. What’s your process for creating home-brewed characters with unique attributes? Thanks!

If the band of boobs each had a theme song, what would it be?? 😍

What aspect of Campaign 2 is the most daunting to the players, and what is most daunting for Murph?

What was magic, hidden in the sky dragon place based on, or did you make it up? Also, would you ever consider naming another character Whalen? That's my name and the incestuous vampire isn't a great representation. Lol, love the pod; keep doing what you're doing. 👍

If campaign 2 takes place in Bahumia thousands of years in the future, is there a chance that moonshine and Bev (who will have very slowed aging or none at all because of their class) will appear as NPCs?

Is Queen Jovyre going to ever get to play a part in the war? I know you said that the FeyWyld suffered from the same cataclysms but we haven't heard from her in a WHILE.

NADDPOD has me really interested in playing DnD but I particularly enjoy the goof and shenanigan filled style of NADDPOD, while being somewhat less strict on rules. How realistic is it to have a DnD campaign like yours or are there fundamental differences when playing for a comedy podcast? Any recommendations for setting up a game that feels similar to NADDPOD?

Will nadpod ever come to Montreal

I’ve been developing some ideas to DM a campaign but unfortunately my friends have no interest in participating. What should I do

Hey Murph, I have been eternally curious about what rules you have established in order to run an interesting, clever and quick dnd podcast. And if there's anything new you're hoping to try in season 2

If you had to change your character's class what class would you become

Emily, do you have a process of any kind for writing the music for the show, or do you just wing it (like a pregnant hawk)? Caldwell, when a new character or monster is introduced, do you immediately start sketching it in your mind, or do they come to life on their own when it comes time to draw them? Jake how's your mom? Daddy Murph, how much of this late game plot was always planned, and which parts did the boobs build for/with you?

DM question for Murph - do you typically use static damage for enemies, roll for damage, or one or the other depending on the situation? What are your thoughts in general on static damge v. rolling for damage?

Murph, what was some "cut content" that didn't Make it, either the boobs made a different choice than you planned, or something that you planned to implement but ultimately decided against it?

Who would you kiss?

Will we ever get the pleasure of Jake doing an opening rhyme for Hardwon?

For Murph. Is the last episode of campaign 1 gonna be a thiccc sode? Im talking 2 hours and 45 mintues minimum!

What happened to Bev's blood in shadowfell???

What is your favorite song from Moana?

For the players (get outta here, Brian!!): What does your ideal happy ending look like for your characters? Will they settle down and have their happily ever afters? Or will they need to find a way to keep the excitement going? Will Hardwon become a washed-up RCane addict?

The soundtrack is one of my favorite parts of the show! Are you guys thinking about experimenting with the scoring / sound design for the second campaign?

Are there any special guests that were possibly planned to feature in the campaign, but in the end couldn’t be scheduled in? And could we then maybe see them in Campaign 2??

Murph, How do you balance the fights so well? I seem to have a ton of problems balancing fights against my party, so i'm looking for possible tips and tricks

Jake, when you got talked into playing Dungeons and Dragons, What were you expecting? What did you think it was going to be like? And what do you think now?

Emily why do all your characters that we have seen so far tend to move up the ranks of Hell??? Love all your characters, specially Onix.

Jake, now that your more comfortable playing DnD, have you considered playing a spellcaster?

Hey guys, love your work. I have a question for murph. When the last fight is on and the gang starts to goof it, what are your priorities: a funny ending or a narrative pleasing ending? Ps; don't kill yourself editing new episodes. We all love them, even when they are a little late. Your health is more important.

For all of you: what is the moment in the campaign you were most surprised about? Like in session one, what would you never in a million years have expected?

First time commenting but have binged all 205 episodes since subscribing. Just started my foray into DMing a campaign instead of being a player and two of my biggest questions, mainly directed at Murph, is 1. how do you make such interesting and unique side characters and always manage to bring them back multiple times in the campaign and still make it feel natural? And 2. How you go about selecting magical items for your players to potentially get early level and on without them being too overpowered?

Murph, how do you keep track of all the lore you (and the players) have created about Bahumia? As a DM I struggle to keep my world consistent with things I told my players a year ago.

Players, how have your early expectations of who your characters are been challenged?

How’s Brian feeling after his stressful last few days? And does he know how much we appreciate all the hard work?

Have you thought about trying other ttrpgs other than d and d, if so what systems intrest you

Murph, has there been anything the Boobs have done that made you think "Oh, God... Everything's ruined?" Alternatively, players what are the craziest ideas you had but never went through with? Love you guys, appreciate the fun every week.

How has playing/running the campaign changed as the party has advanced to the high levels? Is there anything you miss from the lower-level parts of the campaign? Do you feel like endgame content revolves mostly around big-time fights?

Fuck, marry, kill. Wilhelm Bronzebeard, the Watchman, and the Bullywug King

Will we ever see the baby dragon from Moonstone again? Also Jake has talked about doing a low fantasy Dnd campaign will we ever see anything come of that? You all rock, thanks for doing what you do

Was the idea for Naddpod and doing it together conceived during that thicc sode of 8-Bit Bookclub when you played DnD monster mash (Floating Sword FTW) or did that come about earlier/later?

Can we have a tour of the twodio? Also! My friends and I are trying to record our sessions while playing through discord, what do you use to record when everyone is online?

Murph, what is your success rate on baiting Hardwon to attack an npc? 100%? 200%?!

If Emily and Caldwell could play temporary characters like Zac, Siobhan, or even Jake with Jvilin (spelling?), what kinds of characters would you want to play? Where would they be from? What class would you try? What about you, Murph?

Obviously you want to avoid spoilers but do you have an idea for the campaign 2 setting. You’ve covered so much ground in this campaign that I imagine it will be hard to find new territory. Thanks!

Emily - I know you’ve been playing a lot of Animal Crossing lately (as have we all). If you were to DM an Animal Crossing one-shot, what would it look like?

Are you going to have any more guests on before the end of this campaign? I'd love to see Lou or Ally in bahumia. Just tick off that dimenton 20 bingo card. PS my druid switched from moon to stars thanks to Emily and we're loving it.

Emily- is there a druid spell you think is awesome or very fun but have never gotten round to using?

Hey all, an ooc question for the player and city pidgeon too I guess. What's the funniest bit you can remember from the podcast?

Murph... have you finalized stats for Thialla yet? Or at least got the basis figured out for her? Any insight into what she may be based off of, or is she going to be 100% homebrew?

For Emily and Caldwell, what seems to be the most powerful spell y’all have gained through your class that you haven’t been able to use yet?

Will either Moonshine or Beverly with their long life spans (bev because of that green knight thing) live long enough to make be cameo in the next campaign

Would you guys ever be interested in doing a sci-fi game? Even something along the lines of Starfinder or Shadowrun?

How will you guys all react if Thiala wins the campaign? If she spared one/all of you, would you all try to cope with the new world she created or rebel against it? I have a hard time thinking she’d totally obliterate people she saw with such potential. Just a thought.

Does Hardwon like Beat Poetry because he believes it involves beating people up?

Are y'all, as players, and Murph as DM, mentally prepared to end this story? So, are you ready to no longer embody Hardwon, Moonshine, and Bev, and the world of Bahumia as a whole? Callooh callay. Btw, I'm making one of the heads of Galad Rosell, meant to send it to the PO box, but, we're in the midst of a worldwide crisis. May I send it to LA, now that this is posted here and is therefore no longer a surprise, when all the global quarantine is over?

I've been curious about this for some time now, so...is Hardwon Surefoot at all related (or inspired by) Carrot Ironfounderson?

I helped put a group together to play D&D for my first time a few months ago all because of NADDPOD and it’s become something that I look forward to every week now, so thank you! We’ve started playing remotely now since we are all in quarantine in NYC and it’s been one of the few things keeping things fun and light in a really scary time. My question is this: as players and a DM, how do you manage to keep things moving and a party working together? There’s a couple people that are less engaged but still having fun, a loner who always wants to go off on his own, and a DM that struggles sometimes when things don’t go according to his plan. All criticisms aside, I’m loving the game and just want to play all the time. Thanks again for being your hilarious selves and stay safe!

When is Jake going to DM?

Murph, was there anything early on (in like Moonstone, Ezry...) that you had planned but had to scrap? Basically were there any hidden items or story pathways that you prepared for but the boobs never discovered or metaphorically burned the bridge leading to it?

Are there any non-dnd games you guys would like to try?

In a fight between the Widow, Papa Toegold, and Joleen the Green who do y'all think will win?

Are we ever going to see CawCaw again? i miss them dearly

Hey y’all! New to the Patreon, looove the pod! I have questions for Murph and Caldwell, I’ve never DM’d and I have an idea for a pirate themed home brew, do you use anything to put together this world of Bahumia and Trinyvalle? Like programs or planners? Basically what’s your process, I’m lost trying to make this story but I have all these ideas lmao a big thing for me is I don’t know how to plan encounters and how much xp they are worth, thanks this would help a bunch!

Would you guys consider live streaming an episode on twitch?

Ooh! Regarding the Duddle spider-berry, what effect would you have liked it to have, other than tasting faintly of strawberry? Or what hypothetical storyline did you each picture it initiating?

What would be a happy ending for each character that didn't involve the other two, so best case of a worse case

Murph, as a dm what's the first thing you write when making a home brew campaign and how do you escalate it from there?

What was Moonshine crafting? Emily mentioned it during last episode, but never followed up and the suspense is killing me

How have you adapted to doing sessions over video chat? Both as players and as the DM. Any words of wisdom for a fellow player trying to keep the game going in this current quarantine climate would be very much appreciated.

When you first decided to record NADPOD, did you think it would be as popular as it is? Also, if your character died and you had to play as any of the NPC’s you’ve encountered, who would you choose and why?

Daddy Murph, do you ever get writers block when writing? If so, how do you handle it?

Murph- you've mentioned modeling the next campaign off of themes in the new Eberron book. What are things you have seen so far in the Eberron book that get you excited?

Do you feel like you brought a plague into the world with your storyline?

Did Hardwon kill Bojangles? Be honest.

What's hardwon's dream scenario for losing his virginity?

What are your favorite arc, episode, and non canon episode?

The BoB always ends up emotionally invested in otherwise insignificant characters, which random NPC would each of you have liked to keep around longer? Or see again in the future? Other than, of course, Daryll and Yaraslav/Yugoschlong, that is.

We’ve heard a lil about campaign 2 characters from Em and Jake, whats Caldwell lookin at?

Where's Shay? Will she and moonshine get the ending they deserve?

What was one thing that Murph wanted you guys to see but due to a bad roll or a choice you never checked it out? In my campaign we fought a beholder and missed out on a lot of information because I decided to immediately shoot it.

To the table Who would win a battle royale? Moonshine, Hardwon, Beverly, Balnor, Onyx, Jens, Nyack, or Keychain?

What do your death scars look like?

What is y'all's relationship with Matthew Mercer and Marisha Ray and anyone else on critrole? Both Irl and as DnD playing people

Emily, if you could design a perfect NPC long term partner for moonshine, what would they be like?

Which Sonic character best corresponds to each member of the Band of Boobs? Or is each of them a different sort of hog?

Hey boobs, if you could describe the perfect ending for yourself [character] what would it be?

How did y'all meet exactly and how long have you known each other? The broad answer is probably College Humour but I am curious on the details

Naming a character is a part of character creation that I really enjoy. I like giving my characters an unusual name that has a fantasy vibe but still makes sense as a name and also has some form of meaning to the character. (For instance, my gloomy half-elf bard, based on musicians like The Cure’s Robert Smith, is named Saderik and I have a running joke that it’s derived from an elven word that means “joy”) Hardwon Surefoot, Beverly Toegold V, and Moonshine Cybin are all excellent D&D names, and I’d love to hear the PC’s give their take on the naming process.

How much prep does Murph do for these sessions? Is it just little amounts everyday or do you dedicate time to writing and planning?

Murph what encounters are your favorite to plan for?? And Everyone what are your favorite encounters to play?

In the next campaign would you consider playing bard Emily?

How would the band of boobs kill time in self isolation?

Hey Boobs, what minor character would you like to see make an appearance in campaign 2??

This is for everyone. When playing a character, how do you find their voice, both literally and on a deeper level.

Who would win in Smash? Who would win in Mario Kart? And if you all got thrown into a Hunger Games style battle royale who dies in the funniest way?

If Jake or Caldwell were in a fantasy high style campaign, what high school archetypes or class would they play?

What kind of video chat app have you guys been using to record remotely? I have my first virtual game on Monday and wanted to know what platform is best to use

For Murph: how different does the campaign look now vs how you originally pictured it would go when you started off episode 1?

Murph, would you ever consider doing a mixed bag entirely as pendergreens? Like you he's my favorite character, I'd love just a full episode of that!

Murph, this question is for you! Do you ever feel slightly uncomfortable with lots of grown adults calling you Daddy on twitter?

emily, caldwell, and murph, how do you think the BoB would get along with some of your other characters? (jake too, but i don't know how much d&d he plays outside of naddpod). for example, emily, what do you think moonshine and fig would think of each other? or moonshine and sophie?

Question for the table: When the Boobs fought the Peasant-Ghost in the tower the first time they visited the Watchman. Bev was cursed with the effect of ageing 30 years, BUT was saved by Tonathons portent rolls... I would love to hear the Boobs talk about how the campain would have been different if Bev did take the curse! what would have happend to Erlin? who else might have been a love interest for Bev? could he have "tried it on" with a Triss? how would his relationship with Balnor be different?

For Murph: I'm planning on running a low magic campaign soon, and you've mentioned the next campaign will likely be low magic. With a system like 5e, magic is so integral, and I don't want players to be limited in classes they can choose, but I also don't want to completely neuter magical classes to make them fit the world, but I also don't want to completely allow magical classes RAW, that seems to defeat the purpose of a low magic campaign. Any suggestions on including magical classes in a low magic setting and still have them fun to play? Thanks!!

Hey Hardwon! What kind of Arcane Flying Aperatus (Afa) are you using on the Stormborn Vessel? I use 2 Type-A Boiling Grails to run my flying Yacht, it's just enough speed and power to get me and my many friends to what ever infernal dimensions we need to have fun at that is not effected by Thealah's wrath.

Who are some guests we might see in future seasons? Jacob and Julia? Mike Trapp? Karina?

How would the power of a full divine heart manifest for each member of the Band of Boobs, if they were to take on such power? Does it magnify your flaws as well your strengths?

This isn't really a question. Just wanted to let you guys know that this is a stressful time for a lot of people, and there's no need to subject yourselves (Murph especially) to any undue stress. If the editing process requires that you take extra time to complete episodes, then so be it. There's no need to abide by any release schedule. Things will be ready when they're ready. Also, go Bulls.

What is the funniest ending for each of your character's story arcs? What's the best ending for Balnor?

Hey guys! Was curious, specifically for you four, how you guys decided you wanted to start the podcast in the beginning. Like, what made you guys choose you specific 4 with no one else, and no one more? Thanks!

If the boobs become divine in some way to prepare for the final battle, will they try to relinquish that power once the deed is done? Would any want to keep it?

murph, what was the thing that shifted the direction of the campaign for you entirely? speaking as a DM, the players always do something (whether minor or major) that ends up changing the trajectory of the campaign and leaves me trying to rewrite half the plot. how would the campaign have been different without that event?

When is Murph going to create an Animal Crossing character?

Does the Band of Boobs plan on going back to Moonstone to recruit Shay and possibly Beverly Hardwon Moonshine PawPaw the third?

Hey friends, question for the group, have you all thought about adding a 4th or 5th party member for season 2 to balance the group and expand the party? Having the collegehumor/d20 squad serve as guests has been an awesome addition to the story. I love what you all do with the current squad, but wonder about the challenges on the DM side of balancing a healer-lite party, or the limitations on DPS if a pure healer is added next campaign. Also it seems to put a lot on Bev and Em to manage heals and spell slots in a way that adding a fourth might alleviate. Stay healthy and wash your hands!! - Mike

My DND group is going to start playing next weekend, via Skype. Any tips for a DM that is transitioning to DMing virtually? Most importantly when it comes to combat.

Who has the best island so far and best house so far in animal crossing

If your characters could go back in time in the campaign to change one thing (with realistic consequences stemming from that change), would they do it? What would they change?

Would you guys ever do a “funnel” type one shot where you each played multiple low level characters and see which ones lived and which ones died horrifically?

If Universal Studios asked each of you to design an attraction inspired by your characters from Bahumia (including Murph and Balnor), what would those experiences look like?

Will moonshine ever learn how to make sticky buns?

for murph and emily, is it ever uncomfortable to watch one another be in fake relationships with pcs/dms?

If you could be any minecraft block what would you be

Will you guys be suing the developers of Doom Eternal for stealing Murph's "the Light is the real Darkness" theme? I think we all know one litigious possum that would take on the case!

What would the characters tinder bios say?

You may have already answered this one previously, but if something happened to your character and you had to play an NPC who would you like to play (they could be at your current level), and why?

Question for murph: Long time listener first time dm, I'm working on starting an campaign (My wife and I do an improv game already) but I'm struggling with what details I need to have at the beginning. Should I have a bbeg already? How much world building is too much? And any useful tips you could lend upon my poor peasant ears daddy?

Important Question: You get one infinite bag of chips on a deserted island... What. Chips. You. Picking?

If in killing theala it requires you to as well destroy the prison gems holding alanis and olfgar (killing them too) would the band of boobs come to terms with that or potentially die trying to figure out a way to save them

Would you consider playing characters of the opposite gender in the next campaign?

We’re all looking forward to the new campaign but sad to see everyone go. Do you guys think your characters will ever make a reappearance? Would you guys release an episode with the boobs somewhere down the line, or are you guys going to put them to rest? Also thanks all of you for continuing to release content during all of this!

When do we get to see an epic lawyer encounter for paw paw? Would be so great

Question for Murph: Alanis knew the potential the Boobs had after speaking with Jolene at the Crick and then fighting alongside them against Marabelle in another timeline, but Akarot had to watch from afar, presumably not knowing about them until later(?) At what point did Akarot shift his efforts from Thiala to the BoB and where might he and the state of Bahumia be if he had never targeted them or even caught on to their shenanigans?

Hey jake how does it feel to have hardwon be burly again?

Is there one npc that isnt necessarily a bad guy that you would kill if you had the chance? Other than wren?

Hey gang! A question for the whole BoB: what is each of your characters' favorite abilities (feats, class abilities, etc)? For Murph, are there any character abilities (within the BoB or otherwise) that you are particularly fond of? Any that consistently throw a wrench in you plans?

If you were to invent a class or race, what would be the core idea behind it?

Any tips for starting a group. I found this podcast and instantly knew I wanted to play one day. None of my friends ever played either I'm willing to DM but. Where do I start

For Murph, how early did you know/think of Balnor's backstory? Was that the plan for Balnor going into the Feywild? Also love Baggin it with Balnor!!

Question for the Boobs. Would you consider sparing Theala after the final battle? Would you guys even consider something like that? Also curious as to what the Boobs have planned for once they ascend to godhood? Stay safe don't touch your face.

If the boobs were to survive this campaing, what will their future hold? Kids? Jobs? A home?

Is a Metal City victory imminent at this point?

If there was an episode 101, where an existing (and alive) NPC became your opponent in a 'secret' final boss fight, who would you be most afraid to go up against?

For Murph. Would you consider continuing the campaign once our hero’s hit level 20 and, instead of levels, be willing to give them the boons mentioned in the DMG of Ch. 7?

Does Murph find it weird when nadpoles call him Daddy? 🤔

This is a round table question. Jake, if you were being forced to play a full caster class what would you pick and what would the backstory be for them? Caldwell, if you were to play a changeling what gender would they assume most of the time? Emily, what class would you never play? Murph, do you think that in the future of Bahumia there could be space travel and if so, would you ever run a campaign that featured the BooBs in space? Special extra question time! Do y'all think that in a future campaign set in Bahumia that the Band of Boobs would meet the crew's new characters? How do you think that meeting would go?

How do Moonshine, Hardwon, Bev, & Balnor quarantine and how is that different from Emily, Jake, Caldwell, and Murph?

Who would you like to have as a guest on the podcast that you haven't had yet?

When you end a campaign with a character you love is their a grieving process? Do you ever feel like you've lost a close friend?

Is it ever strange when friends/listeners ship your characters? (home games included) How do you create comfortable boundaries?

Would Paw Paw and your Metal City Sonic be friends? What would Paw Paw think of Jake, the whiny fox?

When you create unique villians that are not in the monster manual for the boobs to fight how do you make sure the combat will be challenging, but not deadly?

What are you most looking forward to in the last episode of the bahumia campaign? Murph and Emily, is there anything you learned from the dimension 20 season finale that you'll bring with you to the bahumia finale?

This is one for everyone! With isolation weighing heavy on us all, I’ve decided to DM a one-shot campaign for my best friend (who is also my DM) who’s in a bit of a crappy place in life. Do any of you have any advice for running a good one-shot? Any tips and tricks I should bear in mind? Thank you all so much; you truly are my favourites.

Hey Murph, is there a reason you've not featured orcs as much in the world and story? They seem to have played a big part in the previous war with Asmodia but they don't seem as present during the current story. Is it just that the Boobs haven't encountered many, or in Bahumia are they somewhat more separate and reclusive like the giants? Just something that's always interested me! Cheers, Calum

If you could have a magic item from any other campaign you've been in, what would you choose? both for yourself and for your character? ( You can choose this campaign for yourself, I just meant bringing in a magic item from a different campaign into the band of boobs.

For Emily and Murph, I know that Moonshine briefly mentioned Deadeye to Cobb during the tarrasque fight, but we didn’t hear anything more about it afterwards. Has Moonshine spoken with Cobb and Jolene about Deadeye yet? If so, how did that convo go?

@Murph - What was your first time DMing like, and what has improved the most since then?

Is Scoutmaster Denny secretly the fourth horseman? Pestilence, think?

How has Paw Paw’s time with Egwayne changed him?

Do you guys have any pregame rituals you do to get the blood flowing/get into character?

Hope this is seen. Does anyone in the Band of Boobs feels like their character feels "bad" for how they treated Balnor when he first showed up?

Does the Band of Boobs have some sort of game plan for dealing with Thiala? (Cover your ears, Murph!) Do they plan to straight-up kill her? Or maybe subdue and possibly bring her their side?

Have you remote played any Trinyvale eps yet?

After the campaign is over, would you ever think of seeing how far they could get through the campaign with their end game levels and knowledge. But they have only their starter equipment. That might be hell on Murph encounter wise but it would be a really interesting listen!

Would y’all consider doing one shots of other RPGs? I think it would be super cool if you guys played Monster of the Week or Vampire the Masquerade!

What are you going to miss most about the Boobs when the campaign finishes?

Have you ever felt forced to make a big in-game choice because there's an audience listening/watching? I feel like you are all inclined to choose "narratively interesting" over optimization even in a home game, but are there any big moments that stand out where you still kinda wish you chose differently?

Emily and Caldwell how do you feel about Zipper the Bunny from animal crossing? Who do you think is hiding under the suit?

Can we get a tease of the next campaign?

SHADOWFELL Q: Why didn't JV use Coach's urn, or offer it to Rosa? Wasn't Coach a revenant too?

Does Jake have any interest in dming for a side campaign like Caldwell and Emily have done?

How has your relationship to D&D changed over the ~2 years you’ve been doing the show and playing for for an audience?

Hey Boobs!! I was wondering to poke your brain, what goes into each of your Character creating process?? In NADDPOD or any game. You've discussed how your characters came to be, but do you go about it in a "Fill-a-slot" manner? or Do you think up a personality, or look up abilities or a class you want and center a build around that?

How would the band of boobs react to being quarantined?

Will Jill guest star in next season?

Why hasn't jake gotten a ps4 and played god of war yet? Kratos is basically hardwon

Hey Murph, In the Frostwind Chapter, it seems like you teased a storyline with the Vineral family that was abandoned. Did you have a plot line planned there that never came to fruition? Thanks!

If you had to give yourself an alignment in real life, what would it be?

Can you share any decisions that have been made about Campaign 2?

Could there be a trinyvale crossover episode?

How do you get your players to ask questions? Most of the time I’ll explain a scene and the players will wait for me to ask them what they’re doing instead of acting independently and they rarely talk to each other about what they want to do

If Moonshine did end up having to become the queen of hell in Pendergreens' place, what would her first act as queen be? Love the pod guys! Sorry you've been having issues with the recording software!

Hey boobs! I was listening to Jake's Quarenstream and wanted to ask a question he actually asked! What would the boobs be doing during quarantine? Would they take up a hobby or read some graphic scrolls? Thanks much!

Have the players thought at all about who you want to revive from Thiala’s purge in the event that you have the chance?

If Bev died when fighting the Tarrasque, what would Thialah have done since her plan hinged on using Bev to kill Pelor?

What is your top pick for class and race next campaign and also Daddy Murph inspired me to me a DM, what inspired you you to be a DM Murph. Thank you to all you Boobs for all the hard work to entertain us ❤

Are you guys planning on doing anymore crazy one shots like the Donkey Kong episode? I'd love to see you all do something equally crazy like Sonic the Hedgehog or the My Little Pony role playing game!

What would be your ideal Suicide Squad made from past villains?

Is JawJaw dead for good? 😥

If you guys had to restart the quest as an NPC you have met along the way, who would you want to be?

If you had an unlimited budget, what would you do with Naddpod?

Will we get more one-shots with Emily, Caldwell and Jake at the DM’s helm??

For Emily and Murph - have you guys thought about who Paw-Paws daddy is? Since it's such a dad-centric campaign, I keep thinking Paw-paw hasn't looked into it yet.

if naddpod got turned into a video game what genre would you want it to be?

For each of moonshine, hardwon and Beverly, what are your biggest regrets/missed opportunities that your wish you'd handled differently in the campaign?

Any live streams of the main campaign/Trinyvale coming anytime soon?

If you could go back and retcon anything about the band of boobs, what would it be?

Any tips for getting into character/role playing? I find it difficult as someone with not such an outgoing personality to get into essentially another persons head and act it out

Cat update

How are you guys feeling about the idea of the Low Magic campaign?

Is moonshine looking forward to ninth level,ridiculous powerful spells? Like Foresight or Storm of Vengeance?

What is the next campaign going to look like? Will it depend on the ending of the current one?

Why doesnt Jake just crit more?

The Band of Boob's are obviously the champions of Bahumia, but if something occured where they had to self quarantine from a microscopic devil how would they spend there time inside?

I’m trying to DM (never played before so ahh!) a game for my friends, and people seemed into it, but now they didn’t respond when I tried to set up times. What should I do??

I'm several episodes behind so I'm sorry if this has been covered before BUT, what's the process of putting the music behind each episode? Does Emily dictate what pieces go where, or does whoever edits the episodes do that? How often do you write NEW music versus pulling from what has already been used?

All the content beyond the pod (Twitch channel, live shows, the rumored video game??) has got me thinking about the Boobs’ lives beyond the campaign. After Bahumia ends, will we ever see the Boobs again? Will they appear as NPCs or story elements in future campaigns? Will you ever play as them again? Just lowkey denial about this story like actually coming to a close soon 🙃 Love from NY!!

To all the Boobs, Was there an NPC you disliked at first but actively grew to love them as the campaign went on?

Long time caller first time listener, how do you guys feel about Baldurs Gate 3 being a major video game release that will focus on some of the weirder D&D stuff (mind flayers and Githzorai)? Thanks I’ll take my answer off the air.

Will Emily ever DM another one shot or even a full campaign? I thought her Winter Solstice One Shot was really amazing!

What is a class feature/ability that you wish you had picked up?

Can you post where you get the battle music for each episode??

Murph, where did your inspiration for the various power structures and cities of Bahumia come from?

Question for Brian. As a fellow DM, I work very hard to put the quirky "non forgotten realms" aspects into my games, but I have not been as successful as you with the integration of "The Crick", for example. what tips can you give to help DMs bring their characters' backstories into canon?

Quarantine snack and quarantine drink of choice!

If Jake were given the opportunity to DM a one-shot or mini campaign, what kind of story would he want to tell? How would he design his world and what homebrewed mechanics would he include?

How does Murph craft such emotional moments? What's a good way to get more timid PC's to feel more emotional about the events of the game?

Awhile back you guys had talked about making your campaign into a module. Is that still a possibility?

When is ally coming on the pod

What equipment do you use (besides garage band & H6) for recording? How has that changed now that it's all streaming? Can we please get a tour of the twodio?

Since Trinyvale will be wrapping up after Campaign 1 ends, will there also be a new bonus campaign starting at some point? We need MORE DUNCLE (or maybe even Daunt Emily?)

Mostly just curious if Emily saw this post on Reddit about what to do for getting through legendary resistances? Have you all been plotting behind Murph's back, having long distance dinners without him? https://reddit.com/r/NotAnotherDnDPodcast/comments/fjbahk/spoilers_allfinale_response_to_emily_asking_about/

Since Brennan, Siobhan, and Zach have all appeared as guests, are there any plans to have Ally or Lou on?

As a DM, how do you get your players to further investigate things? Sometimes it seems like PCs want the dm to just bustle them from one adventure to the next and it's hard to get in character discussions about where to go next? Any advice?

I am getting a naddpod tattoo as soon as quarantine is over and I would love suggestions!!! PLEASE help

If you were given the chance to create your own custom dice set, what material would they be made from?

Do you guys ever think you would do a Balnor WWOne Shot? If so how do you think it would go? Finally, would you play your current characters or make a new one? Thanks!

What does Hardwon want to do after they've won the war? Both Bev and Moonshine have family and homes to go back to but not Hardwon? If it happened right now would he keep traveling (with Jaina?)?

Who are The Boobs inviting to their first pandemic speaking stone happy hour? Would Moonshine have a sourdough starter or grow crick cress? Or both?

After Trinyvale is finished will the new bonus campaign be DM'd by Caldwell? Or will it be a new DM? Emily? Perhaps an elusive Jake campaign? Love you guys. Thanks for everything you do for us!

If you could have NPCs or guest characters fight each other, 1v1, who would you pick?

How do you manage so many different elements of a battle/encounter? Since having to stay home I tried to DM for my family but theirs so much to think about and they all choose to play chaotic characters.

If each of your characters had to use a different weapon from here on out, which type of weapon would the three of you be eager to try out.

What is the least climactic way you'd want the story to end? (Ex. Hardwon whispers "Lydia" as he dies but that's also Thiala's mom's name and she just gives up)

How would the BoB entertain themselves during quarantine ?

What happened to Yarislav and Darnell, the two dwarven guards from the Boston nannerfly effect show, in the prime timeline where they never interact with the Band of Boobs?

Hi Murph: any tips for running one-on-one (as in on DM and one player) games/campaigns? Me and my girlfriend would love to play some RPGs but seeing as it’s just the two of us stuck in quarantine together it’s been difficult. Is this even possible in D&D, and if not are there any other systems you would recommend?

Can you speak about the ethics of eating other sentient races? I assume the practice may very between the different Bahumian cultures. But Moonshine especially has been quick to make jambalaya from bullywugs. Has mentioned her interest in eating Drow spider legs and Dragon flesh...😉

Was the plan for Balnor always to have him be placed there by Alanis or was this figured out as he grew on the party? Love you guys :)

How long did the Legendary Heroes adventure together for, and how long before NADDPOD starts did they disappear? Also, any chance of us getting some backstory on them as a group in the future?

If the boobs were running for president of Bahumia, what would their platforms be? And what other NPC or guest PC would be their running mate?

Hey Murph, if Hardwon had decided to keep Gallad alive back in Galaideron, like you had assumed he would, how would his mom’s role in the campaign have changed?

What are some lessons about t DnD or role playing you've all learned from this story that you're going to take or avoid in your next campaign?

Question for Big Pappy Murph: I’ve noticed that whenever the boobs are in a really tough battle you start to sound more somber. Is that because you are worried you are going to kill them, or are you just trying to match the serious mood of the fight? Follow up: if you did end up killing them all how would you handle it?

Hardwon, do you have any interest in reaching out to Cord?

Murph, what would you have done if say the boobs never found the sword lydia sealed her forces in, would they have been trapped in their forever, or would you figure out something for them, like say in campaign two?

What class would you be, if you couldn't be what you are now?

How is everyone doing? Will all the final eps for sure be played remotely at this point?

Has there ever been a time that paw-paw was in the middle of court and Moonshine activated her fungle form and paw-paw changed into his battle mode in the middle of the courtroom?

Have you thought about pitching a fantasy children’s series about Binky Fiasco using Caldwell’s (possible) connections at Disney XD? The name and concept behind the character is so great, it deserves a larger medium than a podcast episode can provide. You all have experience writing and acting/voice acting, plus Caldwell’s art talent. You have all the skill and pieces in place to make the next Gravity Falls.

Murph, why did you do Bev Senior so wrong? He was a good man, you ripped him away from Martha and have let him go to hell and back.

When playing a home game, what music do you have in the background? Some songs you like? Some scenic music to emphasize whats happening? Or do you prefer no background noises?

We know Emily’s favorite animal crossing villager is, but who is Murph’s? Also can we get an update on Felicity?

Would you guys be willing to do a oneshot that goes into Pendergreen's backstory and previous masters?

Murph - what's one storyline / plot line that you had set up for the band of boobs that they either skipped past, or missed altogether?

Did any of you ever think about how Moonshine taking over hell because she thought she was the only one capable of it was extremely similar to Thiala deciding to become omnigod because she thought she was the only one capable of it?

This is for Jake: Now that you have hundreds of D&D hours under your belt, have you given any tought into min-maxing and multiclassing for a future game?

Who would win in a fight? The horseman of famine versus an awakened butterfinger bb? I'm from London and have no idea what a butterfinger bb is but I am still curious to know!

Jake seems like the odd one out in a group of seasoned nerds. How receptive has he been to trying other "nerdy" things out? Ie. Watching anime, playing videogames, etc.

Can Murph tell us a little about the next campaign and if not what's your favorite Harry Potter movie?

For Daddy Murph: Did you always know who your BBEG was or did you leave it more open ended as the campaign developed? Sending good vibes from Critsburgh!
