C2 Ep. 1: The Reaping Season

Eldermourne is slept on but its easily my fav campaign. Its criminal that there is no official map of eldermourne 😖

nothing can stop me picturing henry as moe from the simpsons

I feel like Emily would have so much fun playing world's beyond numbers' witch class

A little disappointed that not a single comment has called out the "surprisingly vascular" descriptor 😂

My first mental image of Bukvar is Microsoft Clippy in book form.

Listening to this nearly hinged intro of the characters for a second time - I'm suddenly reminded of how UNHINGED they get at one point.

“I’m a goddamn book, I don’t like to be covered in goo.” 😂

gentleman boxer…. cloudward ho! inspo ???

I’m so late listening to this but please please BUFFALO IS WESTERN NEW YORK ALSO GO BILLS

Saying his name is Zonk simply never gets old

Then.. we call Guinness? 😂😂

Hearing Murph talking up the Trickster as the one who brought joy to the world is so sweet knowing they are based off Emily.

First relisten and I genuinely forgot they weren't honk fonk zonk from the start

Just started Eldermourne and realized it’s almost exactly 4 years later! 💜

Trinyvale and Hot Boy Summer were amazing but dang I missed Murph's DMing. <3

Really bailed on that "British accent" in under one word lol

I like how Bookvar is just Murph's avatar in the world.

I just love the Witcher/Gerald of rivia style mosterd identificatie including the choise of either putting the spirit at rest or banishing it

I did take naddpod to vote lol

I really like Jake's transition between characters. I mean, I loved Hardwon, but it makes me very excited to see what happens with Henry! Great to have Naddpod back in my life!

Just got back from voting and I'm glad I had you guys to keep me company in line 🥰 Looking forward to following this new campaign!

As a chemical engineer I was immediately concerned for Zirk's lab safety (rather lack thereof) 🤣

Murphy's like a cat, when he knows we want that ep a lil too badly he holds out lol

So excited you're back folks and such a wonderful first episode. I'm so excited for this new tale, characters and world!

I will post this to every episode. Please finish by singing “Don’t fear the Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult. Along with Henry playing Cowbell

love that jake had originally planned for hardwon to be really epic but the rolls dictated that he biffed the entire first episode, whereas henry hogfish is just a parallel universe balnor who can't stop critting

There's hope for ya yet Henry. As a Brown's fan, I say this confidently 🙃🤣.

Anyone else see Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows for Fia? It might be the voice but I definitely see her when Emily talks.

Anyone realize Henry is like Rock Lee? Looks average as hell but is anything but average?

This looks more like a class for Henry Hogfish https://www.dmsguild.com/m/product/184921 The Pugilist!! Old timey punching man 😂😂

Omgosh, this was soo good! Eldermourne is right up my ally and I'm loving the witcher vibes. Murph, you've outdone yourself.

Amazing star to the campaign. Emily did an amazing job with the score, as always. I would absolutely pay to be able to listen to it after the episode goes up (maybe bandcamp could be an option)

Btw I did take y'all with me to vote. Listened while I was filling out my mail in ballot here in WA.

Can i just say I think they mean Glaive for Henry's weapon cause Halberd is like a long axe.

The banter between Fia and all the books played by Murph will be epic!

Such a good first ep. Good character chemistry, a taste of combat. And with the combat, so poetic that they fought horror aspects of their personal aspects or how they have attributed themselves so far. The zombie (Zirk works in a morgue) the bat swarm (Fia cares for the forest animals) and the shadow (just Henry)

Henry Hogfish gave me real Sam Vimes from Discworld vibes

I loved hot boy summer, but let me tell you, dropping caldwell twice in the first episode was an amazing start.

Amazing start! 10/10

Emily's accent is EVERYTHING, and then the fact that Boginya (boginja) means goddes in some southern slavic languages *chef's kiss*

Jake discovering the boxing aspec. Will have him do literal shadow boxing

The 17 Queen

wait you're telling me the sprites are tiny little people, and NOT flying versions of the spirited away soot sprites?

Jake Hurwitz hates birds

oh my god the fiddle music is back for jake to drink

Was listening the the EP while in line to vote early. Got to the part about kink shaming strangers you find hog tied

Can't wait to see the fan art!

Question for Murph, would a changling warlock -genie be able to exist in your world?

Oh this episode was so worth the wait. Everyone was in top form. Cant wait for more. One question will any roles of 17 be a shoutout to dancing queens?

So wonderful!! I was absolutely blown away by all of it. The music was amazing. The scene descriptions were so wonderful. I love all of the characters and the world so much already!! All of you are so amazing

This is so beautifully chilling, a perfect story to start in October. I am loving these new characters so much!

I got chills the whole way through. Amazing work to you three beautiful boobs!

what an incredible first episode this atmosphere is everything. also absolutely colin farrell vibes from the henry description

Murph did you make an evil Abhorsen?

Great episode, but it’s kinda weird how much they laugh right? I think I’ll go post about it on reddit

ALL HAIL FIA, THE 17 QUEEN!

Such a a fun intro to Eldermourne! I absolutely loved Henry and how much ass he kicked.

Kinda annoyed that Jake didn't let the sounds of the fiddle wash over him while he was looking through the window but hey, loved the episode and the new setting!

Honestly? Ya love to hear it. ♥️

Love the new characters and the atmosphere of Eldermourne! Eagerly anticipating the Short Rest and Ep. 2!!

The year is 2048. This day the entire world waits with baited breaths for the episode to be released. It is a new campaign! Towns have public listening parties! Millions listen and talk along the venerable words at the same time as soon as it starts : "Welcome to the campaign after the campaign after the campaign..." Where it's night children listen to the new episodes under their covers. "...after the campaign after the campaign after the campaign..." Their parents smile, pretending they don't see them, and listen as well. "...after the campaign after the campaign after the campaign! THIS is not another DnD podcast!"

I'm glad Jake only hits animals with his unarmed attacks this season (so far)!

Incredible first episode!!!

I have a feeling that Emily is a closet Bulgarian. That accent is excellent! And sticking to буквар (Bookvar) is obvious evidence... I bet you she loves garage sales too. As a Bulgarian, thats our most telling sign.

I love everyone and everything about this. Including you, whoever is reading this. You're beautiful.

Emily's music work continues to be fucking excellent!

Does anyone have a one shot or a campaign I could run via discord or something? I don't have Angie who plays n my online tries all fell through.

Love this so much!

Yes Emily!! You are killing the voice!!!

Ca-cawfabe! 😂😂😂😂😂

Shoutout to the 17 queen

I hope we get SO MUCH fanart of Henry punching birds out of the air.

Murph's giggly delight when he first heard Tired Caldwell made my day

Syracuse/Upstate fan here! You're welcome to come back anytime!

I cannot stop thinking of Henry as the dentist Matthew Perry played in The Whole 9 Yards trying to live his average sad life and then basically getting adopted by crazy friends. I'm already so in love with C2 Eldermourne!!!! All the Bloodbourne/Witcher feels and the wrestling boxer zombies. Just how many times HAS Henry been hogtied LMAO. You guys continue to delight me 🖤 thank you for what was apparently a very late night posting this ... TMNT Mixed Bag coming soon? 😁

I love how all the new characters definitely know how to read and don’t see why that should be a big deal

They may be the 2 Crew but Emily is the SEVENTEEN QUEEN

Again trying not to laugh out loud at work ;) great start !

Also, Caldwell needs more love for "cawcawfabe"

brilliant! I love the mechanically interesting danger Murph is always serving up! Look forward to voting with y'all

I am incredibly distressed that I relate with Henry a little too well

Ah man, where's the short rest? I just joined and those're already one of my favorite bits.

Baldur's Gate AND the beginning of C2?! 2020 is starting to look up

Henry has a power pole

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtes

Looooove the darker tone of C2 definitely feeling the Bloodborne/Witcher vibes

Sooooooo I can't be the only one who got Eugene Levy vibes when Jake was describing Henry, right? "Large, expressive eyebrows" and "salt and pepper hair" ???

#IDontWannaVoteForEitherOfTheseNerdsPlsHelpLetsAbolishTheGovernmentSoIStopStressing

Two things: 1) Emily saying “THREE RAVENS” made her sound like the Count and I just cannot stress how much I <3 Fia (and the others too of course) 2) This podcast (and its fans) is genuinely my favorite fandom. Errybody is so positive and supportive even when they razz. Thank you Murph for the extra work you probably had to put in to get it out when you did.

Yesterday I joked that we didn't see a wrestling match in C1 until about E10, and how long would it take to get one in C2? Answer: 1 Episode. :-D

What an amazing episode oh my god

Good God i am only 10 minutes in and I already love this. The wet sprites bit...

Okay but I’m even more emotionally attached and concerned over the lives of some books???? How dare you

I love that Jake's character is just Nathan Fielder

Short rest post today ? (The 16th)

Jake- are you using the standard dnd halberd, instead of a flavored lance like you talked about before? Because Polearm Master is a very fun feat that works with the former!

I'm so excited! This was a great way to drive to work this morning!

I thought there were no rhymes, how dare they say Zerk at work!

Murph trying to be creepy... "Yea the zombies are all in wrestling singlets."

Holy shit what a great start.

Yaaas!! Y’all are so great, thanks for the entertainment.

Damn this was a good sode. Looking forward to campaign 2!!

"Henry doesn't have anything against birds." Already off to a good start with animals this time lol

BIG HYPE

Former coroner here.... Coroner conventions exist, and they are genuinely drunk and horny as fuck.

Lmao love the end of the boxing match with ravens

I'm sorry but Murph rhymed when talking about not rhyming

Gods I love hearing about nonbinary characters

Zombie Wrestlers are my next dnd character for sure (jk already looking up cleric/wizards)

YES! I'm running a marathon tomorrow and my playlist isn't long enough. A fresh episode is EXACTLY what I needed to get me though this run.

I already adore these characters! A cigar smoking Russian witch gives me joy!

Can definitely feel the Witcher influence. Stoked af for this!

Beautiful. So excited for this.

As someone with the name Fergus you've no idea how HYPE I was to hear the rook gang member with my name. Love all the characters, especially Jake's <3

This is exciting. Perfect for a long drive

IAMTRANSPORTED

Love Fia Boginia and this new gothic setting! Emily's voice is so good!!

Great start to a great campaign! Murph your narrating is always so spot on and inviting. I am beyond pumped for all of yalls characters, they’re so unique and I cannot wait to see the adventure/hijinks you guys get up to! Thanks for the work you put into this

How is Murph *this* good at this many things?

Can’t decide if I should sleep or listen ughhhh

also #itransported

Omg everything about this episode was perfect and Emily's amazing accent is WHAT I'M HERE FOR >_<

As a romanian listener, I feel so giddy about Emily's accent <3 It's perfection!!!

7pm in Australia and my Friday night is set!

GO TO BED MURPH! Thank you for the upload! <3

I love Emily’s voice!!!!

Damn took a while. Can't wait to listen to the thiccest of sodes now

I'm still on like ep 70 of Bahumia, but I had to hear the first 5 minutes of this as a tease to myself! Can't wait to get caught up, so excited for everything the NADDPOD gang puts out

Excited to be on this journey with everyone

Oh my Creator!! So psyched! Let’s do this!
