Did Emily partake in a bet to say "fucking" 100 times in one episode?
i still come back to “please don’t. please don’t. please don’t. i’m begging you. i hate it in there.” regularly
so idrk what i was expecting but i was interested in the bon freres as a name like what does that mean or come from and the only thing that wasn't naddpod that popped up is bons freres and they make non alcoholic gin (like botanical spirits) which is.. new information that i now have. it did not help me understand anything behind the name though lol
It means good friends in French. Zac said in the episode one short rest that he just came out with it off the cuff
“Stop sniffing other people’s jeans.” This has me in STITCHES 🤣
I honestly think Emily might be the most hard ass DM on the pod. I honestly felt like she was out for blood for most of the arc - they’re lucky nobody died lmfao.
On my fourth relisten, "It's not worth it, it's not worth it dude. He's an octopus. He has a gun." in Zac's deadpan delivery just kills me (death by octopus gun)
Omg, have they been role playing so smoothly like this on a freaking Zoom call the whole time? Naddpod has unbeatable chemistry. Not even internet latency could slow them down.
This entire campaign is clearly just a cover for Emily to share delightful sea creature facts!
hungry dave is the character of all time
Let me smell those shorts dude.
The dynamic/vibe ya’ll were able to achieve during this arc feels like lightning in a bottle, thank you for all your work!
I love Murph’s “EMILY!” when she brings Carl back from banishment just to drop him into the fountain
I literally just came to comment this lol
This is truly such a delight to revisit in the peak of summer. Thank you DMily!!
Awesome sod!
Loved all the biology facts from Emily! Really fun listen - thank you all for another awesome campaign!
ah yes biology facts with a slug with +4 to dex 😂
That was an absolute amazing thank you 👏 x
Just finished my third(!!) listen of this campaign and still can’t believe what an absolute joy it is. Still holding out hope for that ski trip!!
She is a great DM, focuses on RP but has mad rad technical skills with the rules/spells. 3rd listen done CHECK ✅️ Plus they released the 2nd arc of the boys!
Hope y’all know that Em is a better DM than murph, and I’m only partially saying that because it’s fun to razz murph
why you gotta pit two bad bitches against each other?
I just re-listened to this whole campaign while recovering from COVID, and I loved it just as much during the second listen. Emily, you're so creative, talented, and funny, I think you're one of the best DMs (I mean DDs) out there. Murph, Jake, Caldwell, and Zac, thank you all for making something uniquely hilarious!! I love you all!
Emily is amazing!
Loved this campaign so much! The main NADDPOD Campaign has the story complexity, but for comedy value this campaign win it for me. So many good laughs and goofs. Thanks all!
Murphy playing a PC is always a blast!
I love that the name of the elitist bad guy is Ren-ifer
Great campaign! Emily you are a great DM, which doesn’t surprise me at all because you are such a thoughtful, knowledgeable, empathetic, and FUN player. Quick note for Caldwell: throwing a frisbee and then misty stepping to catch it would be a cool play, but illegal in Ultimate (I know Dave is playing disc golf, but there’s no catching in that.) There is a play in Ultimate that is legit called “The Greatest” where if a throw is going out of bounds, a player can leap out and catch it and throw it back to a player in bounds as long as their last point of contact was in bounds. This kind of awesome athleticism and teamwork would absolutely be Bon Frere behavior and I look forward to you working it in to Hungry Dave’s next campaign.
The penultimate!
The meteor spell zach uses, one of the people I play with used that yesterday in our fight. Such a cool spell
Emily!!!!!!!!!!! This was so good!!! Thank you for being such a fun and cool dungeon docent.
So funny to hear a Murph Sound (shout out to Adventuring Party) with an exasperated Murph around 1:08 ... "EMILY!!" LOL
Hot Boy Summer Chill Dude Autumn Cool Chap Winter Mad Lad Spring I don't care if it's just a one shot or if it's even the same characters, I just these to happen.
Mild Lass Spring?
This was a fantastic little arc. Kudos Emily.
The perfect end to a great campaign. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got cooking up for us next. It really does feel like this was the last hurrah of summer before we get to bundle up and drink pumpkin spice everything.
There's always one last heat wave before fall officially hits
Thank you Emily for a fantastic mini campaign. I offer you the ancient rosebush growing outside of my front door, as a rose or a bouquet from it not enough of a reward. This campaign was truly a highlight of 2020 for me and has filled me with joy in this other bleak year. I look forward to re-listening to it many times over the coming months and probably years. The final combat was very inspiring and I will be using some mechanics from it in my upcoming homebrew campaign. Finally, I have to say I cannot wait for the ski trip sequel. Maybe in the new year?
Thank you!!!! Yes I very much so want to put these fragile boys in a cozy lodge in a frigid world. -Emily
Murphy's outrage w his wife's dm-ing is my favourite thing. I too yelled "Emily your sick!" When she put my boys in danger
Spoilers but rose for the ep is Murph really earnestly yelling “Emily!!!!” After Carl returns from banishment over the shark tank 😂😂😂
“You can’t just unbanish someone into a shark bowl!” is such a great quote.
Anyone else low-key hope we'd see how Lucanus and Mav met and asked for him to be in the wizard tournament??? Lol loved the episode though! Freaking awesome
Oh my god, I’ve been hearing the name of that spell as ‘Masculine word’ since campaign one! It must be Murph’s Jersey accent hitting my sensitive Mancunian ears all wrong. Thank you Zac for confirming that I’m not insane and/or deaf.
No epic song to commemorate the campaign??? This playthrough had as much historical importance as campaign 1!
Just finished listening. What an amazing ending.
Woke up at 2am and randomly checked the page, now I have to stay up to listen to it and the Short Rest. Thanks DEmily!
They should have had a team called the Bullychugs
Oh what a joy that was!! Thank you for the journey and the laughs Bon Frères and most importantly, thank you to our incredible Dungeon Docent, Emily! Hot Boy Summer made lockdown life here in Melbourne significantly more bearable!
ok so what patreon tier is it that I can get 1 full hour of Emily as Mr. Gilfoil recounting the extended version story that led to the boys getting detention?
Mr. Guilfoyle was also the name of my favorite teacher in high school! -Emily
That whole encounter was AWESOME it was so scary and so cool when they figured out how to turn it around. This campaign was a joy and I’ll miss the boys and Emily DMingg very much
Oh my God the nat 20 had me jumping up and down too. I’m grinning ear to ear
I jumped up in excitement for that nat 20! I then landed wrong and hurt my foot really fucking bad! But that’s Bon Frere Behavior Baby✌️
Mavrus had some beautiful 1's and 20's this campaign. Kicking it off with the nat 1 on his performance check for the name of the bon freres. -Emily
I'm going to miss Emily's animal facts.
Well if we do a ski trip you KNOW we're gonna have some snow monkeys that can live at -15 degrees celsius but also enjoy dips in hot springs. -Emily
Hype!!!!!
If I got pulled into the improvised pop punk singalong I'd be incredibly tempted to shout "I just wanted a pespi!!!"
Man. The Bon Frères are the BEST boys. I’m gonna miss them so much 🥺
SO EXCITED
The true end of summer
Did anyone else have to pick their jaw up off the floor after Murph’s intro
Straight bars
Carl.... I don't want it to end 😭
Can’t believe it’s the last episode 😭🥺
Oooof make my seedy Saturday complete ❤😘❤
owo the short rest pic
Final Episode lets get into it
Been waiting all day.
Yes!
