Short Rest: Eldermourne - Ep. 0: Welcome to Eldermourne

Weird to come back and hear Fia Boginya know it's Bonkginya

New favorite Murph noise: 20:00-20:10

The laughter is the best part!! Never change 🫶

I was listening to an episode while driving with my mom once and she commented that you all giggle a lot 😭 like yes mom they have fun that's what I enjoy about the show

My realization that the episode cover was the roll was wonderful, I'm so glad I got to see her

Healing and damage, you ask? May I present to you Wither and Bloom: https://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:wither-and-bloom

Thanks em for the idea for my horror campaign!!!

I spent a long time trying to figure out why there was a fish as the picture for this episode 😂

When you ask ur friend to send pics of their cooking just to publicly roast them

I love the laughs, it brings me joy!

This reminded me of the time I was talking to an acquaintance and he said that Emily laughed to much and I was like 👁️👄👁️ it's a comedy show???

Star Spawn!!

I thought it was a baked salmon when I saw the thumbnail 🤣 the enlarged pic DOES look tasty

I really thought the picture was a full on fish before I enlarged it 😂

Thought it was a cannoli

Want a leg up on your dm? Take silvery barbs or the 7th lvl rune knight rune. Currently navigating that with my players a new player tried to come in as a sorc and I had to tell him no silvery barbs lol

I also hate that yall laugh so much, because I listen to this at my office and end up laughing out loud along with yall and the look deranged in my little office corner lol

Just joined the patreon after finishing the first campaign after a very long time. Love the show and your characters so much. NADDPOD got me into DnD so much more. And Murph encouraged me to be a DM.

also caldwell’s “its got a robot on the front and a dinosaur on the back so. it was very instantly enticing to me” is such a mood. big nathan energy too

not that shell ever read this comment but: emily axford i am utterly parasocially in love with u. everything i have ever seen or heard u in i have loved. im gay as hell but thats unrelated, emily axford is the most charismatic, engaging, incredible human i will die on this hill

I’m just imagining Emily’s character as brunette, terminator Mackenzie Davis lol

Imagine having fun and laughing all the time, absolute monsters!

I enjoy the laughter, but I guess I'm not a disconnected sociopath

Can confirm that I am laughing with y’all. Contagious laughter is one of the little joys in life

Shout out if you love Emily's voices and when the gang laughs

Just became a patron because I wanted to support y'all for the important message that you spread...that being that D&D is all about the lols. Period. I cause so many shenanigans in our group that for a short time our (awesome) DM dubbed us the Shenanigang. If there isn't at least a couple fits of uncontrollable laughter per session the whole table is failing IMO.

I know I'm late on this, but anyone who either: 1. Says they hate how much laughing is on NADDPOD, or 2. That any voice Emily (or anyone on NADDPOD, really) does is anything but good just hates fun. The show is great, and those are two of my favorite parts. D&D is fun, and I haven't had a good session that hasn't had someone in tears laughing at some point.

Hey Murph Would you consider using the creatures from Magic the Gathering’s Shadowmoor and Eventide sets as inspiration for some of creatures the new band will see in this campaign? The theme for those sets is what I kinda imagine as what you described as the new campaign theme.

I was so confused about the cover picture of the short rest until they started talking about the roll...

I’m so anxious excited for campaign 2!!! Is it coming out tonight?

I love that you all laugh!! And Emily’s voice is *swoon* amazing 🤩

Hey let’s not police everything that Emily does this campaign, partners

Oh god the laughing and having a blast is why I love this show and have listened to hundreds of hours of content. Y’all are the best

Emily your voice is literally amazing and your songs are so creative! I have your Doomsday Diaries album downloaded on my phone (along with the galaderon saga)! I listen to Survivors Guilt, Aka, The Moons Lament all the time! Don’t sell yourself short you are so incredibly talented 💖

Just joined patreon so i can finally listen to Short Rests for Eldermourne!

If Emily does follow the Chronurgy Wizard path I am very excited to see how she plays it because in my current D&D campaign we are using the new Wildemount book and I totally with the Chronurgy wizard class. I'm level 5 now and it's a blast, I'd love to see how Em would inspire my play style with the second campaign.

Emily I love ur voice and some of my favourite moments have been when one of you give a crazy laugh. Eat a rat ily guys ❤️

Never stop laughing! When I listen to NADPODD (and Drawfee) with my gf I always mention how listening to yalls laughter always brightens my day!

I really want Henreys shadow to be Snails

As an Isabelle I love this!!! 😍😍

Side note lances definitely have 10 foot range and have a special charge attack

Honestly I can't wait for Emily to get turned onto the Alchemist. I know Caldwell is gonna crush it but I know the Ash will be getting the itch. Artificers are honestly VERY strong

Those people that say they laugh to much obviously havent listened to any of campaign 1 episodes into tho 90's...

Laughing with you guys is like laughing with my best friends! And no one is talking about Jake’s “we had some good years, right Izzy?” And I started crying laughing! I can’t wait for more Henry!

Caldwell are you going to be using guns

Has anyone mentioned that Caldwell mentioned he'd like to see Wendy Koopa squish a swiss roll with her big feet on the 8-bit Book Club episode 3 years ago "Koopa Capers Part 2?" I don't think his roll came out squished by accident

Is Henry Hogfish Balnor's son?

I told my dm about multiclassing. he thought it sounded neat. then i told him about coffeelock. He said absolutely no multiclassing right after

Incredible incredible

I started listening to naddpod last year after a bad breakup, having just finished my second run-through of the first campaign and then going through hotboy summer and trinyvale in a few weeks I've finally signed up for the short rest. Excited for all the short rest content I have to get through now, can't get enough of you guys!

the people who take the time to listen to nadpod and then bash it need to get a life hahaha i DIE laughing with you guys!

Never stop laughing as much as you do, it’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the show. You guys are the best, keep doing what you’re doing.

Fear not! I absolutely love the laughing and it adds to the feeling of being in the room with you. So psyched for campaign 2. Lots of love!!!

Please don't stop laughing!! I've literally reround this episode three times just to listen to you guys laugh!

I love laughing along with you guys

I love how much you guys laugh! It is absolutely contagious! It makes me laugh so much more and gives me such warm fuzzy vibes! Keep it going guys! And Emily, fuck the haters! If they don’t like it, they can sod off! Love all of you guys 💕 thanks for bringing light and laughter and fun to the world!

Jakes echo could be a way cooler version of his Henry! Like maybe from an A.U. Where Henry’s life went really well and he didn’t get divorced. Could make for some funny situations

So for what it's worth the subreddit polled itself, and absolutely everyone was baffled because none of us ever heard that criticism. It goes to show that for each unfair/bullshit criticism you read, there are entire orders of magnitude more people who know the truth, support you and have your back. Even the subreddit of which you guys have a dim view off is supporting and loving you 99+% of the time. So when you read someone saying some bullshit, please try to remember that it's a nasty drop in an ocean of people who love you all.

Dinosaurs in DND for sure! Jurassic Park Eldermourne One Shot

Calldwell....use parchment not wax paper! Also you cut the ends off.

Caldwell... Wax paper is not oven safe. It will melt. Parchment paper should work next time!

What Patreon milestone do you guys need to reach in order to get Caldwell on The Great British Bake Off?

Laugh them to the moon! I adore y’all’s laughter it never fails to put out I smile on my face but more often I’m doubled over cause I’m laughing so hard with y’all!!

I got into this show because you guys have so much fun with it. I came upon naddpod on spotify on ep 10ish of C1. A lot of fun!

When you guys laugh, I laugh even harder!! Keep on laughing guys!!

Love laughing with you guys! And Emily, f*** the misogynists who criticize your voice. You have a great voice! There are just too many people out there who don't like to hear women speak. Don't let them make you shy! ❤️

Dinos are the best! We played tomb of Annihilation on Chult and my DM let my Half-Orc Fighter use a Dino as his steed! So much fun!

"I don't like the word lance." Well... I don't like the word JAKE.

Thank you all for the joy and love you put into your work, first D&D content I’ve really gotten into and after listening to everything I could find of yalls I’m pumped to try and DM a Campaign with family and friends. Hope it’s half as good as yalls and hope it’s filled with the same laughter

I LOVE laughing with you guys. Fuck the haters keep the joy!

Frozen 2 was soooooo bad! I totally loved frozen 1 but 2 was pointless and didn't develop the story at all!

Brian I love the fact that you guys laugh. It would be really weird if you guys were being so funny and none of you were laughing. Ignore those haters.

My wife and I loved NADDPOD before the pandemic, but in the last six months, it's come to mean so much to us. Now we go on long walks together while listening to the shows. We can't thank you enough for bringing this weekly joy into our lives. Keep the laughter coming you beautiful Band of Boobs.

You all keep me up through my Night shifts. Thank you all so much for keeping this going you are all so amazing!

Emily, serious question... is Fia short for Binky Fiasco?

Your laughter is what makes NADDPOD my favorite podcast. Listening to you guys is the best part of my week!

Artificers can use their infusions to make an alchemists jug. I can't even begin to think of all the things Caldwell could do with 2 gallons of mayonnaise a day.

Dude the laughter, joy and love that radiates off this podcast is absolutely my favourite part.

In the worlds of flying, fire breathing dinosaurs. A dinosaur that sits in a lake does not seem that much of a stretch.

PRO LAUGH CAMP REPRESENT

I am SO excited to get into C2 and hear more of y'alls beautiful mastery!!! The story and the characters of Bahumia touched my heart in such an impactful way so I can't wait to see what Eldermourne has in store!!! Looking forward to the shenanigans as always <3

I love emilys character so much! I wonder if she would like the Bladesigner wizard subclass.

"We like to laugh ,eat my ass!!! " best quote ever thank you murph !!!

The laughter is part of what makes naddpod amazing. It feels personal, like I'm at the table

Always makes me sad when people are so unfairly critical of Emily. Just absolutely bums me out, because she’s such an amazing, talented and kind player. Just Ugh.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UjpAcIsdqIvUbEsm1VGHJNDfjczTe2qa/view?usp=drivesdk

Sounds like the laugh haters can eat our entire collective ass. I’ve always loved laughing along with all of you but, now that I rarely get to do it in a group setting, I treasure it all the more. You make me feel so welcome at your table. 💜

Like what? People don't like your laughing? Your laughing makes me laugh just about every single time. Gotta love the occasional snorts as well!

Why anyone would leave a review that basically amounts to ‘I’m a huge baby and am upset that this content I’m getting for free isn’t exactly how I want it to be, stop having fun and be more sad and stuff” on a *comedy podcast* is mind-numbing. Y’all having fun with this and hearing the smiles in your voices is absolutely the bast part of listening and being a fan. If people want boohoo grimdark sad times, there are plenty of other places to scratch that itch. I’ll take all the “Fuck you, I love you, eat a rats” and “If I filet here” magical singing fishes you can come up with. Love the show, so excited for Campaign 2!

I personally can't take/play/listen to the more "serious" games. Idk I feel they go so deep in being serious that no character feels human and is always on edge. Like do they cook seriously, sleep in deep thought, buy groceries with dark reflection as though the apples killed the pears long ago? Nah, give more quirky, hilarious, and down right stupid things into characters while mixing in serious moments. Give me all the "Fuck you. I love you. Eat a rat." Moments you can muster, I know those heart breaking/warming moments will come in time, and I will smile or cry. Love you all so much for your work!

Oh man "We had some good years" kicked my whole ass, so sad! So good!!! I'm so looking forward to episode 1!!!!

Whoever said you guys laugh too much just frosts my flakes! I love laughing with you guys! Makes us feel like one big family! So excited for this new campaign! It sounds DOPE! :D

You bastards better keep laughing!!!

That ending though 🤣😂🤣😂

On the topic of laughter during the podcast: literally the hardest I’ve ever laughed in my life was listening to your podcast. Please never stop laughing because it makes me feel like I’m in a room with my friends saying dumb jokes! Laughing along with you guys is the best and anyone who says differently can truly eat ass 😂

“I love gettin a leg up on my DM” “Yeah I know you do 😏” EMILY AND MURPH YOU PRECIOUS PERVERTS

I love this show so much and genuinely look like a fool laughing along with you guys! Can't wait for next week!

I'm in love with all the wildmount classes and abilities being infused in this campaign!! So excited to see these how thee new classes play out!

The dessert looks amazing Caldwell!

Cakes lookin good

Most dm's i've played with rule coffeelock as a no go due to the fact that warlocks are borrowing that sweet magic juice from their patron, and sorcerer metamagic is all about controlling your own magical abilities.

Item infusions aren't the same as storing a spell in an item just sayin

I'm sorry, people don't like that you LAUGH? On your comedy podcast??? The fuck?

I am absolutely pro dinosaur in D&D. My boyfriend ran a Pathfinder campaign where I was a Vanara druid with a deinonychus (basically what they called raptors in Jurassic Park) that had turquoise feathers. His name was Fred. His favorite food was pepper steak.

The more laughter, the better. And the haters can eat Emily's voice's ass. And Caldwell, you should try covering a dish towel with powdered sugar next time, that's what I do with pumpkin rolls.

I played a "coffeelock" for a few months, warlock 3 / sorcerer 7. It is 100% as broken as Emily made it sound, but also a huge pain in the ass balancing slots and points. I wound up switching to a pure warlock homebrew because it was too confusing.

Oh my god I did think that was a sandwich

Caldwell's rolls hurt me lol. We have an artificer in our group and I think he has some good stats. He is an alchemist tho

I love Emily not having seen Toy Story and Murph yelling at Jake for not seeing Toy Story 2

I love when they Laugh!

Literally y’all’s laugh pulls me out of any bad mood

I just wanted to bring up the best part of Artificers to Caldwell. You get two infusions, each be Bags of Holding. I’m sure Murph will veto this, but just take a second to look up the shenanigans possible with two Bags of Holding.

" oh no, absolutely oh no "

Can you point out the people who give you trouble and we'll go beat em up for you, eh?

They were talking about the putting spells into beads or items, imagine this: a mug with the spell mend so when you drop it or smash it it mends itself...

Please keep laughing! You guys do an amazing job. Peeps always gonna find something to whinge about, don't let it get you down!

Their laughing is one of the best parts, like why would you listen to friends playing DnD and not want to hear them laughing?

One of my hopes for this campaign is that the player characters get a bit more downtime. As much as I loved the first campaign, I remember finding it very stressful to listen to. The plot tension ramps up to 100 during the Galaderon Saga and then basically never gets below 90. Just an unremitting sense of urgency underlying all the goofs.

Henry totally has big Gilear energy 🤣

The laughter is great, it makes me feel like I'm there. I literally balled at the end of campaign one, I never even thought about y'all laughing as a problem, I like knowing you're having fun. Also Emily's voices are great. Love you guys.

Laughter is joyous and infectious. Your iconic laughs are essential. It's never too much laughter!

Too bad Jake can’t make that Irish accent work, it sounded perfect and so hilarious!

You joke about people joining to see the Swiss roll, but I literally did. Been waiting for the right moment to subscribe, and by golly I got it today. Also, can't wait for Henry's shadow to have a way better time than Henry himself

But there WILL be Star Spawn right?...RIGHT?!

WE LIKE TO LAUGH Seriously, why don't some people like joy

TRIDENT for Henry!! It can still have a lance or halberd's stats. But a trident's aesthetic would be so cool

I kinda wanna run an Eberron game for them

Eat my fuckin assss dude we like to laugh!

Just to comment on complaints on the laughing for me at least it’s some of the best parts because it lets me laugh too. I’ve never laughed harder to a podcast before and besides the hilarious content I think all of your laughter adds to that.

Where is Binky Fiasco????

Both of Jakes characters start their heroes journey with a breakup😂

This is gonna be a long week if i have to wait for this master peice in the making.

Murph and Emily both realizing at the same time the implications of what Caldwell’s new ability with the Zanithar common items would mean for the campaign is some of the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time. I am so excited for C2

The laughing makes me laugh even more

Imagine not experiencing joy when other people experience joy. Kinda corny tbh.

God between this and the drawfee episode he was on this week Caldwell has really been on about the eggs

Pretty good episode, except your guys laughing kinda ruined it, but besides that pretty good

I have to say, every single one of your laughter(s)? is so adorable. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been walking the dog and just cackle randomly in the middle of the street while listening to the podcast because you’re laughter is so infectious. Also, I could listen to Emily talk about all her dream builds for ever. I would love a bonus ep with all the ins and outs of her ideas.

Calwell coming in with the Cousin Greg energy is so powerful. Also I can't believe people complain about the laughing, I like cant listen to D&D campaigns that are too serious because it puts me to sleep.

I think the Order of Scribes Wizard subclass would make a lot of sense for Fia, since it's all about having an awakened spellbook, and the 14th level feature where you can sacrifice spells known in exchange for not dying is extremely cool, especially given the pokemon-esque aspect of spellbooks in this world

Emily I am so incredibly sorry and furious about the way you were treated by d20 fans over Saccharina. They do not represent us. We do and always will adore your choices, and the Naddcord truly deeply believes you are the greatest dnd player that exists. Thank you for continuing to share your soul-altering characters with us, Moonshine changed many of our lives. Fia art to come!! xx alice

Shame about the squish 😔

I LOVE that you guys laugh so much. I've noticed and tried to laugh more because of it and it makes me feel great.

I think Bladesinger is getting re-released in the Tasha's Cauldron of Everything next month- that Wizard subclass sounds very Fia as well!

Eat my fucking ass dude we like to laugh needs to be the new tagline for the campaign

Is that an Em crepe?

"Dog, I'm always thinking about Toy Story." Caldwell... same.

bruh I thought that Swiss roll was straight up a weird fish

The excitement going into a short rest wondering what baked-goods-bit is thumbnail art worthy

I see the roll turned out ok

I love that at the top of the show Murph talks about not having any of the Lovecraft bullshit from Bloodborne then goes on to talk about his Elder gods lol

Again with the weird photos

Proudly asking about the bread before I listen to it lol?

Bread?

Gotta find out about that good good cake!

👀 that album art tho
