Hearthside Chat: Campaign 3 First Reactions

I’m so late to this episode but I fucking love Jake following his tree hugging instinct. It’s embarrassing sometimes but this life is so emotionally rewarding when you follow the positive vibes in your environment. I was a big tree climber and hugger as a kid, sometimes growing up makes you ashamed of the little joys in your heart. Jakes story has Inspired me to ignore that social anxiety so I can ground myself by connecting with more trees!

Jake, if you want to speak with a British accent hire Siobhan as a consultant obviously

I have to say the malfunctioning eladrin character that Emily is tossing up sounds amazing!

Campaign 3 is the Legend of Korra equivalent to Avatar the last airbender

I would 100% play a Dragon Elf, Drake Warden Ranger

Jake! You should consider a Wisconsin/Minnesota/Midwestern accent for your frosty Goliath! Listen to the long aaayyys and flat ohhhs while you’re in the Midwest this weekend!

I wish Caldwell would do the Scottish thing again. Chrissy was too short-lived.

Hype, but still hoping for Chill Boy Winter

Holy Shit, Jake is still commuting? Are you guys going to record a crap ton of episodes when Jake is in LA? This is blowing my mind. I love you guys being able to be in the same location, I just want my man Jake to be safe. Love you guys!

Everyone should hug trees. It really is as described. Love you all!

I have ONLY made it through season 1 (and part of Trinyvale) so I may skip eldermourne for now. Am very excited that not having heard season TWO won’t be a problem!

Oh god I hope Hardjuan is still alive and is in charge of ezri

To Jake: Eldritch Knights requiring managing spell slots can be avoided if Murph allows you to use the Dungeon Master's Guide's alternative "spell points" system where you instead spend points to cast spells. Do note: the math the leveling progression uses in the alternative rules uses is inaccurate to the normal progression since it divides your level by three and then rounds down rather than rounding up.

Get Persephone on the pod!!!

if Caldwell likes gunblades, ff14 has an entire tank class that uses a slightly different version of a gunblade! instead of the revolver/rapier kind of look Gunbreaker uses like, BIG sword and a...bigger revolver? yall use final fantasy as a lot of inspo and i reaaaallly can't recommend ff14 enough!

I have to say, talking about the silly gun blade, if you're not already familiar let me 8ntroduce you to the Red Queen Sword from devil may cry 4/5. Where the handle of the sword is a motorcycle handle complete with clutch/brake lever that you "rev" up to make power strikes....

I’m very excited for campaign 3! Bahumia is such a fun setting and all the character ideas sound great lol. Can’t wait to see you guys in Boston!!

Rune knight for Jake!!!

I’m really looking forward to the return to Bahumia and hear what became of the Boobs as in game lore

Would love to hear Beardsley or Aabriya!!!!

Hoping for another hearthside chat to ask this. But will dragon elves have some dragonborn racial features swapped out for elven features? Like instead of getting a cantrip (high elf) they can take a breath weapon from the dragonborn race instead?

Hey did you guys know that they wrote a book about a video game? Game? Game? Game?

The fun thing is that Murph does get to play to a dragon elf, he plays all of them!

Ally Beardsley guest arc whennnn

(Ik this isn’t really the place to ask questions but) Emily, would you ever consider playing a fey wanderer ranger? It sounds like a fun class and I’m eager to see how you’d play another half caster after hearing you as Lu’luh

Thanks for reading my question. Really made my year! Especially after (so very nearly) shitting my pants on the dog walk in the morning... Happy Poo Year everyone!!

Some day I'd love a true low magic, game of thrones esque game. Magic is fun for awhile, but when every option to a problem is Magic it gets boring

What about some of the other planes? I know there is the fey archipelago but what about hell and Pendigost or Lydia in Shadowfell?Did they cut themselves off from the metirial plane or do they have a place in our future Bahumia? Also is the part where Akarots phylactery cannon or not?

Please help, I can’t find a way to get a refund for your Boston Live show through Ticketmaster. I haven’t heard back from NADDPOD@gmail.com

Caldwell just needs to base his character on Vivi from FF9 but a bullywug version! Then he can have a big hat and a cool big sweater and I guess his stick can be a gunblade?

Please call the fey archipelago you were talking about the fey isles

I literally stopped listening last night right after the jack skelington chat. This morning, I started at Murph’s tag line. THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before Jake branches out to other trees, he should check if his current tree hugbud is a Monogamous Mahogany. Communication is key.

Jake! I hug trees as well, I have a specific tree friend in my apartment complex that has given me comfort and advice and it's amazing. I recommend that everyone hug trees.

You really should consider a shield, Jake. With the shield mastery feat you can use it bash people down prone and reduce damage from incoming spells! Is there anything more badass than completely tanking a fireball with your shield and cone out unscathed?

I need an official spelling on this Ezri megacorp that Murph has created. Every time I hear him say it I hear it as Elon-inc and it makes me think that Elon Musk is bound to be campaign 3’s big bad.

Aly Beardsley is the final intrepid hero we need to see on Naddpod!!! Please bring Beardsley!!!

copper and teal is such a nice color combo

Also in terms of the D20 guests… Bring on Beardsley!!!!

They kind of used the work friend character intro in Trinyvale and that turned out beautifully

I've found myself solo this New Year's Eve (minus my sleeping kiddo), so thanks for providing a cozy distraction while I take care of my mental health tonight. ❤️

I’m listening from Birmingham UK and imagining Jake doing a Brummie accent is both hilarious and horrifying

I'm for sure stealing this tree-hugging resolution from Jake. But I'm for sure spreading the wealth.

Wow, that was a fast hearthside chat turnaround

The incredibly different reactions Murph and Emily had to Jake hugging a tree really made me laugh.

Really wish they had gone cyberpunk! Especially to experience Emily's music hopefully in the future!

8AM grocery store hive, so true Caldwell

Murph is scared of Siobhan so he’s injecting us with copious amounts of content

I think we all need a little advice from Jake's Ent-fluencer

Caldwell is in fact a very good boy!

L E T ' S W A X

The 'whatdyu fink mate?' bit from Jake gave me chills. I can see some epic eldritch older fighter moments coming from that. Excellent already if these headers are to be any indication

Genuinely, working retail during the holidays and having to put my home campaign on pause because we're too busy, you are an absolute blessing. I look forward to every new file I get to listen to and you always manage to bring a full smile to my face even on the worst days. Thank you for everything you create, thank you for making me laugh when it's hard to do it alone, and thank you for making my most unpleasant moments tolerable. With all my heart, happy new year to the greatest band of boobs.

Let go? Murph you can pry campaign 1 from my cold dead hands

I'm actually kinda happy there won't be many reoccurring characters, I love campaign 1 and the characters but I'm excited for something new within Bahumia

The content machines are going crazy, dice Christ truly has blessed us
