Short Rest: Ep. 100: Heart of the World

I dream of a future arc in which we get to hear the letter.

Started listening in 2019 when I was in High school, got caught up with life and finally came back and finished listening to the original campaign. So so so in love with this group, loved this story and everything about it!

100 eps in and them learning basic martial optimization only for Em to be saying it's good on her (it's not) is very funny

I gasp eeeevery time Jake reveals the letter

Comment from the future - 5.5e kept chill touch

The scene with Hardwon and his dad had me crying in the middle of a snowy field. It hit me straight in the dad trauma

Let me be the first (of many) to say it in the new year as I finish my relisten: #releasetheletter2026

Just finished! Have started Trinyvale and am a patreon subscriber as of this year(2025-26)! You all are awesome and inspire my own dnd love and going to start DMing this year ! 💚

It’s December 2025 and I am also here to say #releasetheletter. I’m so invested in the complexity of Hardwon and Moonshine! Campaign 1 is perfection. Thanks, gang. ❤️

#leavetheletter

Second time through the campaign for me. First time for the Short Rests. #releasetheletter

First listen through. Amazing. No words. Thank you guys. ❤️ #releasetheletter

Joining in - RELEASE THE LETTER! I can’t believe we saw Hardwon on the Stormborn in C3 and didn’t get the letter…please…

#releasetheletter PLEASEEEEEE 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

WHERE IS THE LETTER JACOB

I just want you to know that turning this on, ignoring the bombings, cause of the war, laughing SO HARD that I am crying, crying so hard that I am laughing, wanting to come back doing art, realizing that I have this inspiration, feeding feral cats and hugging my 3 at home, feeling inspired…I was doing all of this while listening and relistening NADDPOD. I love you with all my heart. Thank you guys, you rock!

We still calling for #releasetheletter

RELEASE THE LETTER

C1 of naddpod is my all-time favorite piece of media. I'll always come back to this.

I don't know how to effectively convey to the people in my life how this campaign has changed me and moved me so much. Relistening, 5 years later, and I am still in awe of the story and characters you have all created. I'm sure like every creative, you want to inspire people with your work. I hope you know you've done that ❤️

It’s July 2025 please #release the letter 🙏❤️💔

It’s been 5 years! #releasetheletter

it's June of 2025 and we all need joy; RELEASE THE LETTERS PLEASE 🩷❤️

A Rose for C1 in its entirety 🌹

Writing from 2025, #releasetheletter

It’s been 5 years #releasetheletter

I just finished my first full relisten of C1 (my first time listening as a patron with access to the bone-con and short rests) and I just hope y’all know how many lives you’ve touched and how many days you’ve made for all of your listeners!!! I love you guys so much and I’ll never stop crying listening back to this stuff :’)

just finished listening to campaign 1 for a second time, and it still hits just as hard!! just. forever thank you for creating something thats such a joy and balm for the soul just by playing a game you love with your friends. the love comes through in every joke and every tear, its truly magical 💛

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜

I apologize for the impending novel - I just have so many thoughts and feelings! Who better to share with than the people who get it?? I do take comfort in knowing that the story of these beloved characters doesn't end, but it's the fact that I don't get to be with them as they go on that brings back the melancholy. Also, Emily's role-playing created the mental image of Moonshine's face lighting up with pure joy when Hardwon said he wanted to live at the Crick. I understand how easy it is to be hyper-critical of one's self, but I hope that Emily has been able to internalize and accept that she absolutely conveyed everything she wanted to in that moment. As for me, I still dream that someday Jake will #releasetheletter. If only...

back from my 2nd listen. yall complement each other so, so beautifully. dnd and playing pretend with your friends is one of life’s greatest joys!!

#ReleaseTheLetter :D

Did we ever get the letter to moonshine somewhere?

There was no spoiler warning for Frozen 2. Unsubscribed

I’m not sure if y’all read comments on content from this long ago but wow. I just finished campaign one after over a year of listening to full eps and short rests and I am so glad I decided to start. This is the first DND podcast I’ve ever listened to, in a desperate attempt to learn more about this gorgeous game, and it’s been a privilege to listen to this beautiful tale. I’ve learned so much about how to be a better player through you guys. And you have also inspired me so much as I take on the task of DMing more than just a one shot for my friends. I hope to be even half the DM Murph is someday. Thank you so much for all the efforts poured into C1. Now to binge Trinnyvale as I attempt to one day catch up to 2024 NADDPOD 🫡 fuck you i love you eat a rat

Ngl I started with C3 from a friend, got far in but hit the regular upload schedule barrier and didn't understand certain inside jokes, references or characters so.... came here to Campaign 1 and ready to start the next one all over again with new knowledge and appreciation

Such a great story, even for the third time. Listening to NADDPOD I always feel like I'm at the table with my friends, and it's just not my turn to talk. I will always love these guys, even 2 campaigns later I'll always love the Band of Boob's.

RYAN'S BIG DAY

I just finished Campaign 1 and am SO blown away with how wonderful it was! Especially an amazing ending that felt satisfying but not over-done. Also, it now being 2024 I find it so funny that at a point y'all thought about pausing the campaign until you could be in person again. Lol I had a similar experience where at a Friday happy hour my manager announced we'd all work from home for the next 2 weeks and "take things from there". As if the world would be normal again within a month or two. So funny to think how wrong we were.

Currently in intro all the more, 2024 on my first official relisten and it was so good. Thank god Brian Murphy showed up to DM, not Ryan Urphy. Edit: I FORGOT ABOUT THE HARDWON REVEAL. C3.5............

Freaking out at how good this is

I just finished campaign one and all the short rests! I can't even begin to tell you guys how much this journey has meant to me over the past year of listening. I started being fans of Emily and Murph watching Dimension 20. I found out from the subreddit about this podcast and I've been consistently blown away ever since! I just want to say thank you and I'm such a huge fan of your style of storytelling! Can't wait to one day catch all the way up to current date! ♥️

Writing in from 3 years in the future to say that chill touch has NOT lost its ability to negate healing in 5.5e but has been changed to a touch spell instead of 120 foot range, so if you want to stop that troll from regenerating you gotta get right up on that sucker

I just finished season 1 and..... WOW! The goofs offset by some of the most humbling, heartfelt moments was a masterpiece of storytelling. Gotta be in top 3 for anyone who enjoys podcasts about DnD. Thank you to the whole gang for a story that is worth relistening to and recommending!

Thank you for being the vase for our flowers! God that whole compliment section is exactly why this group is so wonderful! I lived this campaign so much more this second time around! I didn't think that was possible.

Emily you’re so endearing omg. I’m sure you’ve made peace with it now, but the moment between Hardwon and Moonshine was perfect. It was so raw and full of emotion and it landed beautifully. This whole campaign was so amazing. You’re all incredible story tellers. I already want to listen to the whole thing again. ❤️

Big rose to Murph for having Erlin tell Moonshine that he had the healing covered. That really felt like Murph telling Emily to do something rad with her spells in the last episode (on top of the absolute whomping that was Chill Touch ofc.)

3rd time listening to the podcast campaign 1. 1st time with the short rest. I feel like family with the Boobs. Love everything y’all do

I love looking back at the timeline of Balnor, originally he was just a guy, but murf turned him into such a deep and well thought out character who’s forever loved. Bravo!

this campaign has been such a light in the dark the last few months - it’s my first listen thru, and it’s just been a magical time. thank you so much for this incredibly fun and heartfelt story!

I cried so much on this final episode but it just shows how much the campaign mattered to me! I know I found this series late, but it means so much. And I loved the song! Amazing!

Second time listening, it fills me with such joy and melancholy to hear the ending again.

I really really love this story you all did such an incredible thing here. Masterfully done!

Just finished listening to this campaign for the second time, I love this story so much. ❤️

Just finished the campaign for the first time, a rose to all of you! Such a great story!

I found your podcast this year and I love you guys so much #releasetheletter

I have listened to the first campaign 3 times now the last time after I joined here and every single time I cry at the end. I love how you guys play and the story!!!

The Letter man… Release the letter! I’m on my 4th or 5th go around on campaign 1, please! RELEASE THE LETTER

Please release the letter, it would be beautiful 😁

Literal sobs 😭 also #ReleaseTheLetter

I miss balnor already. What an amazing addition to this story

Thiala should have prevailed!!!

It's three years later but I have to say... RELEASE THE LETTER

Such a good short rest and episode. Can't wait to listen to more 😍

Wizards is indeed nerfing Great Weapon Master and Sharpshooter in 5.5/OneD&D. Thanks Hardwon!

This podcast kept me sane through some tough times. I’m going to miss the Band of Boobs :(

I just finished in October 2022. IM STILL CRYING

I just finished my 3rd listen, and Jake, #RELEASETHELETTER

Emily joking about killing Thiala with Chill Touch in words 21 of the short rest though 😂

my first time listening to all of campaign one and I LOVED IT SOOO MUCH!!! ROSES TO AAALLLL!! got me crying at the end of the campaign and even listening to this teared me up! Thank you all for so many wonderful moments, I have been laughing so much through all of this (the ".......chicken" moment still my fave XD) Big rose to you Murph for being such an amazing DM! I love all the shenanigans you let everyone pull. you just go with it and it makes it so much fun! listening to the song at the end over and over again! it's gonna take me a few days to come to terms that it really is over. im excited for campaign two but the band of boobs have a special place in my heart! ❤️ #releasetheletterplease! #ishipmoonshineandhardwon

This podcast is so amazing and special, I'm so glad I found it. Started up on campaign 2 since that had just begun and was catching up on C1 in between, finally finished it today and burst into tears when Emily's One Big Bed played at the end. You guys are creating beautiful things and I'm looking forward to what's to come 💙

I found this podcast just a few months ago and I just finished the Bahoumia campaign. I'm sad that I wasn't around for this when it was airing, but I am so grateful that I did find it. You four have made what I feel in my heart of hearts to be the most endearing D&D campaign I've ever heard. I can't wait to listen to what you all have made since and to be a part of the community, to laugh and cry together. P.S. I loved every character, but I have to give a special shoutout to Pendergreens and Balnor for being more charming and hilarious than they had any right to be.

I just finished re-listening to campaign 1 to prep for the live show in January and I have a question that I can’t seem to find in the wiki. I’m not sure anyone looks this far back into the comments, but if you do, I’d be so excited. Hardwon took a magic initiate a while back to get his Shield spell, but he never used a cantrips he would have gotten with it. Did Jake not take any cantrips or did he take them and just never use them?

Thank you.

#releasetheletter. Even now, over a year later, I cry over the conclusion of this campaign and our three misfits finding a home within each other

Release the letter!

release. the. letter.

This stupid goddamn podcast followed me from the worst point in my life to the best. I’ll love this show forever :) Sucks that Jake ruined it by not releasing the letter :/

#releasetheletter

#ReleaseTheLetter

I just finished the campaign… I started listening to this show not knowing much about dnd at the beginning of the COVID shut down in March… over a year later I have finally listened through at least all of the first campaign not trinyvale or some of the mixed bags. I have to say this is one of the most important media’s I’ve consumed. For one hundred episodes I have listened and loved these characters and seen them grow. They feel like a family I was welcomed into and that meant a lot during this pandemic. I can’t wait to start the next campaign and I wish you all well

This final episode made me cry, I felt at such a loss without the band of boobs anymore, you have been rock this last year, and all the roses for Emily's beautiful singing and my new favourite song 🥺💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 And of course #ReleaseTheLetter 👀

#ReleaseTheLetter!

Absolutely inspiring. Thank you so much for the gift of this story. Cannot give enough roses. ❤️🌹

oh my gosh, just now listening to this and I will not rest until they #ReleaseTheLetter

Just caught up so please excuse the delayed comment... ...#ReleaseTheLetter you fricken knobs

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

#ReleaseTheLetter

#releasetheletter come on guys, name your price!

finally caught up and several million roses to every person involved in this campaign. so many tears throughout the last few episodes...now release the letter!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thank you for making me fucking cry at work today. I love you guys, so glad I was able to find your podcast

#RELEASETHELETTER <3 #balnorwasolaf lol

#releasetheletter

I was at work. In the shop. I actually had to stop working and go sit on the toilet while I had a breakdown. I cried for far longer than I have for any other reason in my life.

#balnorwasolaf

#RELEASETHELETTER #ORAREYOUAPUSSY #THOUGHTYOUWEREABIGBOYMAYBEIMWRONG #please?

Finally listened to this, not ashamed to say I definitely ugly cried at Balnor’s letter, and more than a couple other times throughout. Couldn’t have been any better. You guys got me through a rough time, thank you for bringing the light to the world. But definitely keep on keepin’ it fucking light y’all ❤️

Hi. New Boob here. You would think I would have become a patreon BEFORE the end of the first campaign but I digress. Where/how do I listen to the short rest. When I search tags it only goes back a few episodes and when I just search short rest it only goes back to episode 40. I dont really know anything about RSS or anything like that. Halp

#releasetheletter

Unexpectedly this penultimate Short Rest just made me want to try Animal Crossing

Ahhh! I can't be the only one who guessed Hardwon's letter was for Moonshine!! As soon as he wanted a rhyme for "love" <3 Just became a patron today, thanks for a great first short rest! #releasetheletter

Is there a chance that the ending song will be uploaded as a separate thing or put on Spotify? I quite liked the song

#ReleaseTheLetter !!! <3

That fact that Hardwon’s letter was to moonshine omg!!!!! This is the juicy behind the scenes info we are at the short rest for

#ReleaseTheLetter

#ReleaseTheLetter!!!!!!

#ReleaseTheLetter!!

#releasetheletter!!!!!!!!

#ReleaseTheLetter

I forget, can you tell me what ep. or how erl got into the gem?

#ReleaseTheLetter

#releasetheletter!!!!!

Am I allowed to wish Hardone died?#releasetheletter

wow am i emo AGAIN? wow wow wow. Honestly some of the most high quality content I've ever had the chance to experience! thank you, thank you, thank you!!

OMG JAKE! #ReleaseTheLetter

I NEED to see Emily's island!

Question for Murph:. It's Hardwon the King or atleast Crown Prince of the Dwarves. Since both Iron deep and Frostwin King's talked to him about letter their people?

Release the letter!!! I’ll pay anything!!! Please my heart needs this

WHAT PATREON TIER GETS ME HARDWON’S LETTER!? #RELEASETHELETTER

Thank you guys for this short rest it was very soothing. I was so emotional after the final ep that I literally couldn’t bring myself to listen to other podcasts (lol my brain is a drama queen) but this was so like. Soothing!

absolutely #releasetheletter

Do NOT release the letter--leave the mystery, no matter how bad we ask for it!!! No matter how much we beg and plead you gotta keep that letter in the vault. IF the next campaign takes place in the same universe I think it would be cool as FUCK to have a character stumble across it as a sort of Easter egg. They might not even know what it is, but the listeners would FLIP.

Thanks naddpod!

ONE SHOT IDEA: The showdown between Balnor and the hounds in which the gang all play members of Balnor’s family and friends

Listening to this encapsulates one thing I adore about watching D20, is just seeing and hearing how much Murph loves Emily. I'm getting all teared up just thinking about it. Also, #ReleaseTheLetterCut

This is my first campaign and first one I’ve gotten to completion (winks at moonshine) and I can’t thank you enough for this journey we’ve gone on. This has been a part of me for so long it hurts in a good way to end. I’ve just got another friend into it and she’s just heading to frostwind, starting listening only 6 days ago. I am so excited for her to walk with the boobs!

#ReleaseTheLetter ok like.... we need this....

The image of Hardwon getting knocked down bloody and bruised over and over, yet still getting up every time he was healed and attacking recklessly to do more damage with no regard for his own life gets me every time. 😭

Every single Balnor thing at the end had me balling. I hurt from crying so much. It was beautiful!

#ReleaseTheLetterCut

#ReleaseTheLetter please please please!!!

RELEASE THE LETTER YOU COWARDS THIS IS WHAT WE PAY FOR 😂😂😂😂 OMG GUYS PLEASE WE NEED THIS

Has Jake thought about playing a paladin next campaign? That way, he'd get his martial and healing fixes! Also #releasetheletter

#Releasetheletter! Also, I absolutely adored Murph giving roses to everyone at the end ❤️ he cares about them all so much. Thank you guys for this inside look into a wonderful finale! I'd love to hear a deep dive of the whole campaign!

Thank you guys so much!!!!! Great job! Happy to support you!

Please! #ReleaseTheLetter

#ReleaseTheLetter

I NEED THAT LETTER #ReleaseTheLetter

Thank you guys! You have made me laugh and keep my spirits up in some really personally hard times. Constantly inspired by all of your creativity... #RELEASETHELETTER

What Stretch Goal do we need to reach so we can SEE THAT LETTER! #ReleaseTheLetter

#releasetheletter

#Releasetheletter!!!!!!!

Jake's ideal Animal Crossing aesthetic matches so nicely to how I like to approach my village's design as well. Nature doesn't need much help to be beautiful! Also, #releasetheletter !

Brian praising the party at the end made me cry all over again!!!

Amazing short rest to an amazing episode! Seriously you guys are as much a part of my adulthood as Dragon Ball Z and Chrono Trigger is a part of my childhood! I look forward to each post every week! You've gotten people through some tough times, and I'm not even talking about the recent pandemic. Callooh callay!

#ReleaseTheLetter

We need a one shot of Balnor returning to his time and killing the hounds

I played DnD with my friends the day after the finale and pulled The Knight from the deck of many things, so I like to think I got a spiritual successor to Balnor ❤️

Oh my god please for the love of all that is fungal, release that letter

Pleeeease Jake!!! We want to hear the letter to Moonshine!

Talking about Hardwon's letter but not going into detail is a cruel form of edging

RELEASE THE LETTER CUT! LOL please..

Calderley Tangold

Wait did Jake ever read that letter!? I need that letter!!

First off, thank you for the beautiful story you all took us on. Absolutely astounding and moving to be a part of. Secondly, what happened with Ulfgar and Alanis? Did he finally let his walls down? WE NEED ANSWERS MURPH!

Re : Emily's thorn. I strongly agree with the rest of crew, an understated agreement from Moonshine with a ton of glee audible in her heart is a billion times better. I wouldn't change it for the world. This is a definitive "less is more" moment.

Mix bag? #releasetheletters

#releaseTheLetter! Awesome campaign guys. Enjoyed it from the first minute to the last, relistened to the final three times already and can't get enough. Can't wait till next week cause we need more stuff from this campaign. Gonna enjoy the next one as well and the finale of trinyvale will be awesome as well with bonuses from duncle cold well!! CALOOOH CALAY!!!

What happened to Rian?

Casually crying at my 9 - 5, nbd.

#releasetheletter

Thanks so much for this ❤️

I'm petitioning for #TheLetter to become a Merch club item, written in Hardwon's shitty handwriting, on nice paper, sent to backers. I would upgrade for that in an instant.

Alllll you Patreon! Patrons? Whatever you’re called, fans, people! Here’s the plan! When they call for questions for the hearth side chat this week, EVERY. SINGLE. COMMENT. Needs to be “#ReleaseTheLetter”.

r e l e a s e t h e l e t t e r c u t

Damn, I've always loved the short rest, but this is the first time I've *needed* the short rest, just to help my process it all. Thanks guys, you're amazing. X

Patreon goal: release the letter cut

TY guys for a wonderful story. 💕🙏🖖

Haven’t listened yet - does this have the Rian cut?

I am pretty sure the line about the shooting stars being Balnors space shits broke me emotionally. Thanks for a wonderful journey guys.

I have one thing to say to Jake: Release the letter!!! Emily, Murph, and Caldwell, you're amazing and give me so much inspiration to improve on my game with my friends. Jake, you'll get your praise when you #ReleaseTheLetter . . . Oh fine, you're amazing as well and played Hardwon so well I feel like a bond with him as a fellow fighter. Can't wait to see you all in campaign two (or a live show; whichever comes first)!!!!

Does anyone know if the twitch stream was recorded? I was at work when it was live, and although I've listened to the campaign I'd absolutely love to see them reacting to it irl!!!!!

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. - Winston Churchill I think we can all agree this campaign is what he was talking about

#releaseheletter #releasethelettercut

i dont think anything in the world has made me cry and laugh more then this podcast and i thank you! love you NADDPOD!!!!

Campaign 2 should be Jake going on a quest to trade places with Hardwon.

#release the letter

My singular thorn for the entirety of the campaign is that Beverly never, as Caldwell predicts like 80 episodes or so, once accidentally calls either Moonshone or Hardwon "mom" or "dad". (just kidding. this is now, and forever might be, my favorite D&D podcast to ever have the pleasure of listening to. thank you so, so much.)

I FUCKING KNEW HARDWON'S LETTER WAS TO MOONSHINE! As soon as Hardwon says the line about 'something that rhymes with love' I knew it was moonshine. Also, Emily, Murph is 100% right. You didn't need to say that at all, it fully came out in your reaction.

Since the campaign ended, will you release the final character sheets? Or make final custom sheets for the boobs incl Balnor? They also would be an awesome item to auction off for a good cause.

You know what really gets me. Is the premise that playing dnd can make you a better person really comes out in this campaign. Seeing these people show compassion and empathy just sings to my heart. Favorite dnd podcast ever.

The end of an era... The beginning of something new? I for one am eagerly awaiting campaign 2. #ONEBIGBED

#releasetheletter

good to know jake and jill are talking again!

#releasetheletter! Oh make it a scroll! Merchandise! And the Balnor one please 😭

Emily, now that moonshine is back at the crick will she finally record and release the s-town/crick town podcast?!

Hey everyone, listened to the last episode and was so inpressed i dowloaded patreon and signed up! Absolute amazingly podcast and such an epic story! Hats of to all involved its been pure Art.

Murph talking about Emily is so damn touching

Also, I will pay for Hardwon’s letter...clearly

#ReleaseTheLetter 🤬 Release all the dang letters!

Also Murph talking about all of their different role play styles and that whole thing where they're all just complimenting each other nearly made me cry

#ReleaseTheLetter

Can’t believe you guys didn’t mark it with Frozen 2 spoilers, how BOLD

I see a lot of comment #ReleaseTheLetter, but I think I might honestly die if I hear Hardwon’s death contingency letter to Moonshine. It would absolutely wreck me... so both PLEASE and just do whatever y’all are comfortable with, since I’m wrecked either way <3

They didn’t talk about Pelor and the Dusk Mother :(

#ReleaseTheLetters!!

Release the gosh dang letter!

Ok, if Jake doesn't want to share his contingency cubby letter I respect that but holy shit I screamed just like Emily did when he said he wrote his to Moonshine. I love the fact that nothing was set in stone about the two of them because their relationship is founded upon friendship and that's the most important part but damn...if any of those cubby letters are released it's over for me. RIP

I commented on the reddit about how you couldn't of planned for Hardwon's 700plus damage in the first three rounds, but the mad genius Murph did have contingencies. Actually very inspiring for a newer DM. Very creative to have her pull from the second form health pool to make the fight more climactic. Well done. Even if the second form would have been stronger, it would have felt "off" to have the boobs basically one shot the first form. I mean I'm sure Murph could have spun off as like 'oh now you just pissed me off kind of thing' but the second form after an already grueling fight made it feel like desperation mode. And in a winner-takes-all fight you need the audience to feel that desperation in the characters. Such a small thing but I really think that contingency likely made the fight feel so much more epic than it otherwise would have. Awesome, just awesome.

#RELEASETHEHARDWONCUT

Make a shirt that say Fascism: It’s bad

thanks so much for this incredible story ♡

#ReleaseTheLetter

#ReleaseTheLetter, This is ridiculous

Why no word about Caldwell's beautiful song from the beginning? Also #releasetheletter

First time commenter- I needed to let you guys know that you have brought so much comfort to my life, and I feel deeply connected with the beautiful characters that you have embodied. Knowing that the campaign is over, I have that feeling when you finish a book and deeply desire to know about the rest of those characters’ lives, but times a million, because I’ve spent so much more time with you guys than I have on any book. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Also, #releasetheletter because I understand that this is an intimate and vulnerable moment for you, Jake, but also, listening to this podcast feels like we’re at the table with you baring our souls alongside. Ya know, because anyone who listened to this podcast and didn’t cry at least three times during the finale episode is an actual monster.

#RELEASETHELETTER Jake you are awesome hardwon is forever a hero in my heart dude I cant wait for the next campaign dude ALL HAIL TALL DWARF

#RELEASETHELETTER

#releasetheletter 🥵🥵🥵

First campaign I've ever listened to. I've never played before yall have made me fall in love with this stuff I want so bad to start playin and will continue to listen just started donating to yall please keep it up

#releasetheletter !!!!!!

#RELEASETHELETTER

Ok, I really want to see the letter but it would be really cool if we found it in the next campaign

Give us the letter...with a side of RICE! But for real, you guys are the absolute best. I've been a fan of y'all for so long, and this podcast is absolutely wonderful. It's the bright spot on a cloudy day. And I live in Seattle, so there are a lot of those.

#releasetheletter

Give me the letter.

#releasetheletter

You guys are amazing! Thank you for all the wonderful stories. Also #releasetheletter !!!

#Releasetheletter

Y’all stole my heart ❤️. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece of a show!

Just went back a relistened to the contingency cubby part of the episode and when Cordon asks if they want him to give the letters a once-over Hardwon says "If you've got a good rhyme for the word 'love', that would be pretty helpful in mine..." 🥺 💛 #ReleaseTheLetter

But seriously thank you so much ever since I started listening I've been hooked and this show has brought me so much happiness and I can't thank you all enough I love you all so much and can't wait for campaign 2

#releasetheletter on the 24hr stream

Animal Crossing mixed bag????!!!!

#Releasetheletter

Oh also #releasetheletter

#releasetheletter

#Releasetheletter!

#Releasetheletter

Release the Hardwon letter! But seriously, you guys have brought me so much joy. I cried so much at this ending.

i need to know what hardwons letter said or else i think i will die ALSO thank you for such a beautiful ending to the campaign...... truly around like january of last year it became such an important part of my week and it brought me a lot of happy moments and im sure it will continue to do so!!!! thank you for all your hard work in everything you do, i love you guys so much 🥺🤧

I wanna see the character sheets! I've never made it to a level 20 campaign and I just wanna see what the glory looks like!

So did the campaign start and end with new Betsy specifically?

A satisfying ending is a precious thing. Thank you all for this, for everything! My boy Balnor about to pull a 'Trunks going back to his own time and being dramatically overprepared for his opponents' and I am so here for it

Emily Axford is a god damn national treasure and we must protect her at all costs!

#RELEASETHEHARDWONLETTER

oh wow those individual roses murph was giving out, my heart. i have goosebumps. what a perfect, satisfying ending you guys put together, and the perfect way to listen to it, great way to bring the community together. this podcast got me through alot. thanks for everything you do.

#RELEASETHELETTER

So it was pretty awkward cause I drive trucks now, but when I got to my last store today I had to pull off to the side lot cause I was crying so fukin hard at the end, then straighten up and make my delivery. Truly beautiful.

When Murph broke down saying thank you. My fucking heart, I love you all.

Caldwell's song was so cool, it was like Naddpod's own Pippin song right before the storm

You guys are amazing, thank you so much for keeping myself and everyone else going during these hard times. You're all such an inspiration! Thank you so so much for this incredible story!

#releasetheletter

I’ve heard of incredible DnD campaigns. But this is ridiculous.

I know Brian said it already but everything that you guys regret not saying really did come across in the episode. You hear it in everyone’s voices, we’ve listened to these character for hundreds of hours at this point they’re all like a well known friend. I’m so happy I’m able to support this, and I’m truly so excited to see what you guys create next. And Jake, you gotta #releasetheletter man. Shyness be damned!

Release the mf letter cut Jake

#DON'Treleasetheletter, I love knowing that there are secrets out there and even between PCs, some things are left unsaid or just waiting for the right time

Um this is a call out post for Jake, how could u bring up that letter and not read it out omg #releasetheletter!!!!!!!!!!!!

#releasetheletter

This has been a wild ride... we all laughed and cried as our plays and characters cried and we grew as a wonderful community... #Releasetheletter!!!

Yes, this is a legal representative from Disney. I am giving you a cease and desist order for corruption of intellectual property of Olaf. Olaf is not a middle aged Dad, think of the children!

Can balnor still use chronol shift back in his timeline?

Absolutely loved the finale! 💚 And I can't wait for more Trinyvale and to listen to all of Campain 1 again. Any thought of doing a one shot spinoff in Balnors timeline with Emily, Jake and Caldwell playing characters from the Feywild?

Man, it’s been a ride

Love this for us. Thanks for 100 great sodes. Can't wait for Trinyvale and the next main campaign to begin. To another 100 + and live shows.

How far in the future is Balnor’s home timeline? Could Balnor find a fae arch-cleric to cast True Resurrection on that dimension’s version of the Boobs?

TOP. BUTTON. IS. UNBUTTONED.

I hope you guys upload Emily's song (with everyone else at the end) on Spotify! Love you guys, thank you so much for everything you've done!

Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat!

Oh Yeah! Thanks for the wild ride BoB!

the second Emily's song ended I got the notification that the Short Rest was posted. Can't ask for better timing!

Insane amount of emotion here, from everyone involved!
