Pre-Cog…

Matthias Gutscher · February 27, 2026

Relistening after a while and realized that Em’s poet knight character idea likely evolved into one of my favourite character of all time Welly Hamdam

A
Anona Osantowski · January 3, 2026

Love everything you do. The things I’ve listened to so far. Lmao 😂

D
DazWaz · March 21, 2025

Relistening after listening to Skaldova and JAKE HAS GROWN! Look at him DMing like a pro.

H
Haley Amplo · November 4, 2024

Coming back to re-listen to this waiting (as patiently as possible) for this final arc to reach its finale…truly loving hearing how these absolute LEGENDS created such beautiful characters and how they built this world together 🥲🫶

Cam The Spooky Frog Man, William Schitz Cousin · August 15, 2024

It's insane listening to this again after a year and a half

J
Jareth · December 17, 2022

When Goku is legit a tight grandpa!

Keanu DRAMAFACE · February 7, 2022

This comment is for Caldwell: The flavor for astral self could be FROG KUMITE from Naruto, sage mode specifically

K
Keanu DRAMAFACE · February 7, 2022

This comment is for Murph: please let there be an only picture erotica novel that is DEFINITELY NOT written by Hardwonn. Please…Murph…you’re my only hope

P
Philip Enders · January 26, 2022

I did think this about the similarity to hex bloods but I don’t mind it too much since these are corporate super soldiers and not the last of a dying breed

N
Nick Powell · January 21, 2022

Is the "super soldier" angle too similar to the Hexblood storyline? Feels very samey, to have been experimental super soldiers, even if the hexbloods were "successful" and the new characters are "failures", but maybe being in a different setting will make it feel distinct.

B
Bulbarat · January 20, 2022

Jake! I'm actually building a world for a podcast I'm gonna make. I'd love your inspiration and to work with you on stuff. I also understand if you're too busy, no worries Man!

Kyle Bull · January 20, 2022

Emily ice volcano exist on a moon of Saturn ( Titan) and erupt ice

A
Ash · January 19, 2022

Duck following Emily around is giving very Misty from Pokemon! 😭 With her annoying little Psyduck :')

J
Jess Little · January 19, 2022

There are ice volcanoes on the moon of Titan! Pretty sure it's frozen methane.

K
Kara Gilliland · January 18, 2022

Okay but instead of a duck following Emily’s character, it’s the nastiest, dumbest goose that any one has ever seen. It hates everyone, party included and is prone to lashing out at anyone is decides in that moment is a threat

A
An_Armed_Bear · January 18, 2022

Emily might like the free one-page RPG "Let's be Grandma: Oh Me, Oh My, it's Grandma Time"

J
Jess Little · January 19, 2022

Let me guess: Grant Howitt?

L
Louie draws dragons · January 18, 2022

I am on team tight grandma

A
Aver · January 18, 2022

I really want Caldwell’s bullywug pre- monk abilities to just be Frog Knight.

F
FiendishNoodles · January 18, 2022

A frog monk sitting on a lily pad is such a pleasant image

J
Jessica Petra · January 17, 2022

I played an Eladrin who continuously changed seasons according to their mood in a Strahd game and it was really cool albeit a bit hard to keep up with. It really offered a lot of neat RP opportunities. Like, she started as Winter because it was just her travelling with one other person but as she got to know the group and see herself as the "group mom" she went to Autumn and really leaned into a nurturing/maternal personality but then she would still turn to Spring or Summer if she was especially happy or angry

J
Johan Gidlöf · January 17, 2022

Listening in right now! It’s good to be back at the world of Bahumia! Love you guys!

M
Marlin · January 17, 2022

I really wish to hear more about the bard/super soldier combo Emily was thinking of

K
Katie Marzulli · January 16, 2022

Does anyone else think this feels a little bit like a combo of the hexbuds and retrieval team 22? I know the vibes will probably be different but that’s what it immediately reminded me of.

M
Mystic Sybil · January 16, 2022

It is suddenly very important to me to tell you that ice volcanoes ARE a thing

M
Mystic Sybil · January 16, 2022

They're called cryovolcanoes and there aren't any on earth but they DO exist

D
D'ran Dana · January 16, 2022

Wwwaaaattttt YES camping 3!!!

m
michael kuhn · January 15, 2022

This is a small thing but I didn’t like how murph and the rest of the crew kept bringing up Emily’s practice session with murph after she said she didn’t want it to be shared. Regardless of the reason she seemed pretty earnest when she didn’t want it brought up at the beginning and there can be social pressure when everyone else starts to joke about it to let it go. Not sure if that was really a big deal to her or not but rubbed me the wrong way a bit.

S
Stations & Starships · January 15, 2022

Are they talking about jitter rings at the top there? 🐝

R
Rkds · January 15, 2022

For the astral monk, a warforged with holographic arms would be super cool. Just a thought.

F
Fiona Dowell · January 15, 2022

what are solomon’s teeth like? has being separated from other bullywogs since childhood affected his oral hygiene? has he ever had braces?

H
Hunter Larrison · January 15, 2022

Okay, with the rebranding of the lawful evil/neutral megacorp to ‘Mothership’ and also all the talks of tight grandmas, the main antagonist in my mind is now just Mom’s Friendly Robot Company from Futurama. Nothing will change my mind.

C
Carly Anne · January 15, 2022

Emily’s characters are always living poetry and give me such creativity envy. Talking about Tight Grandma of course.

M
Maxfield Murphy · January 15, 2022

For all you Buffyheads out there, Em’s bard/pally has some BIG Spike energy

C
Connor savage · January 15, 2022

If you guys want an an excuse for the bard paladin, a lot of special forces selections have peer reviews. I think it would be funny to have someone super qualified but fail peer reviews cuz they’re a snobby poet.

C
Caleb Treaster · January 15, 2022

I think the best bet for Emily's character is to maybe consolidate the bard paladin and eladrin idea! I don't think they're necessarily mutually exclusive and I think they're both great ideas!

C
Caleb Treaster · January 15, 2022

Also I like the idea of the relationship between the duck familiar and Zeph being a bit more distant than Emily's other familiars have been, like it just follows her around and pecks at bread crumbs while they're about town and then eventually there's an event where the duck decides to get more involved or Zeph sees its in trouble and steps in and then they begin to have some comeraderie. Perhaps even the duck is also a creature that has been affected by the magical nature of Ezry and has an untapped potential, WHICH ALSO could lead into the Ugly Duckling story of it transforming into the Beautiful Swan!

S
Saru · January 15, 2022

I love me a paladin/bard!! I played one for a oneshot and it was such a great combo. 3lvl oath of crown and 2lvl bard to give me jack of all trades w/ the half proficiency to everything. He was a half orc frat boy who spend his summer break with his boys trying sell protein powder to get ahead in his MLM. #inspirational #beyourownboss

A
Adam Greenough · January 15, 2022

The D-Team is a great name for the group, follows along to bahumia, in that the name is a reference to their ineptitude and a naughty body part, not quite as elegant as band of boobs, but still. Also you could actually do merch with it.

A
Adam Greenough · January 15, 2022

I love Jake's idea. Really seemed so fully formed. Was a bit iffy on Caldwell until they landed on his astral soul being a heavy armoured knight, because that's what he aspires to be. Unfortunately, I'm really not feeling Emily's characters this time around. Fia and Moonshine seemed so solid and real straight out of the box, these couple of ideas just seem a bit messy/mechanic focused. Not hating on Em or anything, just feels like nothing is jumping out and screaming this is a story I want to invest in, that said the Eladrin was my favourite pitch. Maybe instead of running combat with these two characters do a 1 on 1 with Murph for role play of a backstory event, flesh it out a bit and see if things start to click with one of them.

K
Karl · January 15, 2022

Emily's writer character is similar to one of my ideas. A mark of scribing gnome, who comes from a prestigious family of scribes, librarians and scholars. He is the black sheep of the family because he chose fiction writing instead of non fiction. His call to action is he wanted to write an adventure novel but had writer's block and decided to join the mercenary band for story inspiration.

D
Doobs · January 15, 2022

if emily isnt allowed to be the tightest grandma there will be riots :D

B
Batsy Boi · January 15, 2022

I for one, am very excited for Caldwell to play the frog from Spirited Away 😆 it's all I can see

J
Jacob Shilling · January 19, 2022

Funny cause all I could see was the Frog from Chrono Trigger

P
Peter Mundell · January 15, 2022

All I could think about for the palabard not getting in to the super soldiers is if she PURPOSELY failed the test. Like only half-heartedly made her way through the tests because she didn’t want to be a soldier, she wanted to be a poet

J
JME · January 15, 2022

I would warn that TAZ has an Astral Monk currently, but don't be too discouraged bc I love punchy frog boi!!!! Also ADORE Zeph. We have an eladrin that just came back into my friend and i's campaign, and it was really sweet to see them go from working alone winter to I love my friends fall (we also have a very good sacrifice/protection cleric). I think Em could do really well with it, especially focusing on the small things of seasons. Also, I feel like starting after a breakup is a good way to play it, changing seasons as she recovers.

b
bioqwert7 · January 15, 2022

There’s a book called ‘A Nameless Witch’ where the main character has a duck familiar.

L
Lauren Schwarz · January 15, 2022

While I love the sound of the Poetic Pallibard build, I don’t think my life will be complete until Emily has a fighting duck familiar 🦆 Cannot wait for the new adventures of these 3! And also tight grandmas

B
Bukvar's Assistant Isy F · January 15, 2022

When I heard Bufo it reminded me of the character in adventure time of the same name! Also a frog who casts magic! 🐸

J
Josh · January 14, 2022

Caldwells character has greninja vibes

B
Billie Ash · January 14, 2022

I propose that the new team is called the Ezri Ejects

D
Devin Matthias · January 14, 2022

Y'all reference Naruto plenty. I'm surprised no one made the connection to all the monk toads later on in that.

V
Victoria Shotts · January 14, 2022

OMG is this Naruto? Lol three person team of elite warriors who are kinda flunkies... One cool icy guy, one dork who has an inner/outer demon self, and a girl who's potential has yet to be discovered

J
Julio Ortiz · January 14, 2022

Emily just inspired me to multi class my hexblade warlock with a couple levels of swords bard. Just got done building for a strahd one shot, hexblade 5/swords bard 4. Such a cool fucking combo. Thanks for the inspiration!!

A
Adam · January 14, 2022

Emily's bard character sounds a lot like Tokuno'o Tokumichi from Kengan Omega. He always wanted to become a writer but was gifted with a powerful body instead (and 0 writing ability). He took up sambo to fund his lifestyle while trying to become an author. Down to listen to any of Emily's character ideas though, especially tight grandma.

c
copperdragon · January 14, 2022

Instead of a duck, may I nominate a goose as emily’s/zephy’s familiar? Much chaos and shenanigans

T
Those who love and give where they can · January 14, 2022

I’m super curious about the tone of C3. I think a lot of the world was built and characterized by the band of boobs, and I’m so excited to see how the new characters make Bahumia their home.

T
Those who love and give where they can · January 14, 2022

I’ve been re listening to C1 and I’m realizing just how much of the world was built by Beverly doing a goof, or some off handed thing

M
Maronic27 · January 14, 2022

IDK if it has been said yet cause all the comments but a TIGHT Granny is Kureha From *One Piece* thats all I think about lol

A
Anthony Mandapat · January 14, 2022

The potential that Caldwell’s character is a ezrie Sign Spinner for mother 😂😂😂

M
Matt Kilsby · January 14, 2022

Caldwell’s neck is going to be so sore from jiggling his head about when he talks

T
TheTimePig · January 14, 2022

Tight grandma? Could be Shae's great granddaughter

I
Ilana Galpert · January 14, 2022

there's the option of being the finn of the group, the character who, in theory, belongs to a t, but rejects the elite force based on principles. I'm not suggesting any of y'all do this, just putting that option out there and walking away slowly

M
Michael Fujii · January 14, 2022

Caldwell is gonna play a Big City Green

N
Nifty · January 14, 2022

I think that two extra astral heads attaching to Caldwell shoulders could work for adding more tongues

N
Nick jackson · January 14, 2022

Emily’s bard / paladin is basically Bill Hader in Barry.

C
Clay Gibbons · January 14, 2022

I love all these character ideas, but I will miss Jason Borne (especially because I feel like it blends well with the super soldier background, ie serum based amnesia and unknown abilities). Nevertheless, very excited about campaign 3!

P
Potato Muffin · January 14, 2022

I would 100% purchase Miraslav's Magic Manual

B
Bradley T · January 14, 2022

This was such a fun listen, I’m pumped to see what happens! Emily, please. We deserve a duck familiar. :)

E
Erin Paxson · January 14, 2022

So excited for the new characters!! I loved the voice jake tried on at the end there, it made me so eager to hear new eps~ I can vividly picture so many of the character ideas pitched - emilys spring rain, or the poet, caldwells upbeat frog and a huuge ice guy!!!! I really want to know these people more. Cant wait for the music too~ Great ideas, I agree :)

B
Botchula · January 14, 2022

So it's a lot of comments to read through. But the way that things are sounding kind of reminds me of "Star wars: The Bad Batch". Which I think story wise is super awesome for the beginning and the improvisation that everyone can bring to the table is going to make it that much better. I'm super looking forward to this.

R
Reverence Rogue · January 14, 2022

Love the duck familiar idea for Emily My divination wizard has a goose familiar named Honk! He has a added homebrew feature of occasionally being "horrible" that gives him proficiency in intimidation checks.

M
Matthew Gagnard · January 14, 2022

Man, do I love astral self monks! Really hope that's the direction Caldwell goes in!

K
Kelley40k · January 14, 2022

On a side note, i was wondering if in this sorta new season of NaddPodd we might see more reviews of things like Witcher season 2 or the new Matrix. Or have Jake react to Attack on Titan.

C
Conjure Woodland Creations · January 14, 2022

I adore the idea of Emily's bard/paladin and can imagine just how well it would work mechanically! I am interested to see how a sorcerer/cleric would end up playing since they would be dependent on both CHA and WIS for spellcasting. I totally understand wanting more spells though. A Divine Soul sorcerer might scratch that healing and expanded spell list itch, but I can see the appeal of choosing different cleric spells each day. Super looking forward to the campaign either way!!

T
Tess · January 14, 2022

someone tell me how to feel when zephyr is the name of a main npc in our current campaign and Solomon is the name of my upcoming pc as well 😳

A
Ash Hammack · January 14, 2022

I absolutely LOVE the idea of an eladrin who rotates through seasons. What a cool concept. Is she gonna be a wild magic sorcerer?

N
Not Another D&D Podcast · January 14, 2022

She would start as that! I have a different cleric/sorcerer subclass for each season! -Emily

M
Mae B · January 14, 2022

I love Emilys bard character and I also think it would be really funny if Hardwon had created a book of all of his slam poetry and now 200 years later the poet bard just uses that in order to learn how to be 'better' at poetry and always carries a copy around with her

G
Gearoid Cotter · January 14, 2022

Haven’t listened to the episode yet, but I looked up Rune Knight after they gang mentioned it last week I think! And it does pair really well with Goliath, so if Jake has gone in a different direction, I still might play it myself in my next game! 👍🤣

C
Canadian Schubert the Mushroom 🍄 · January 14, 2022

Also, Caldwell's character is just Greninja enrolls in Balamb Garden and I love it.

B
BassToad · January 14, 2022

Tight Grandma is just Rosie Beestinger from Acquisitions Incorporated: The C-Team

J
Joseph Foley · January 15, 2022

I'm shocked to see 198 comments and this is the only one that mentions Rosie Beestinger! Kate literally calls her a "tight grandma" many times. I was wondering whether they were playing the joke super dry or they really didn't know. I would have thought the NADDPOD and C-team fandoms would overlap much more.

S
Shyann Epley · January 14, 2022

Also this experimental stuff makes me suffer because I have a reborn psi fighter I'm playing who basically was a mind flayer experiment and she died on the table but came back with psionic powers and she would fit in so well and I want to be a part of it😭

S
Songhai · January 14, 2022

Emily's character who joins the military after a breakup sounds like the plot to the music video for "Part of Me" by Katy Perry lol!

E
Evan Cordero · January 14, 2022

I'm really excited for Caldwell to play a battle toad. Curious if he will be a dry toad.

E
Eryn · January 14, 2022

Love all of this!! Would love to see Caldwell play an astral self monk. I do have to say my worry is that it’ll get confusing having a player named Caldwell and a character named Calder who aren’t the same person, lol. Still, cannot wait for the new campaign!

J
Jordan P the occasional crit reporter · January 14, 2022

There’s this thing that happens in the winter when there’s some moisture in the air (but not enough to form clouds) where, if it’s cold enough, the moisture can freeze and form these tiny ice crystals that just come out of the sky that look like they’re floating in the air (called diamond dust). They’re so small that it’s kind of hard to see the crystals themselves but they do shimmer in the sunlight in a really magical way which makes it look like it’s snowing without any clouds and can cause halos/rainbows to appear in really interesting places in the sky. All that to say, I think it’s really beautiful to imagine these sparkling crystals spontaneously forming around emily’s “essence of water” character any time jake’s character does some particularly cold magic nearby and I can’t wait to see the other interesting ways that all of these really cool characters mix together!

N
Not Another D&D Podcast · January 14, 2022

holy shit that's sick -Emily

Noah Jay · January 14, 2022

To Emily: Umberlee was Myrtle's God in Pirates of Leviathan. Very cool idea but something to be mindful of if you work up that idea I'm the future 🙂

Leroy E Gonzales · January 14, 2022

When Caldwell said Monk bullywug, I immediately thought of the Pokémon GRENINJA. Check it out Caldwell!!

P
Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo the third · January 14, 2022

Fun fact: Calder is very close to the icelandic word kaldur which is the male definition of the word cold I.e. he is cold translates to hann er kaldur, which I like as an icelandic listener

C
Collin Poota · January 14, 2022

Also, Caldwell your arms could look like a stand!!! Phantom arms coming from the back

C
Collin Poota · January 14, 2022

My favorite class in dnd is the way of the astral monk— Love it Caldwell

N
Nicholas Ryan · January 14, 2022

Supporting Solomon Bufo as a great name, but I hope you pronounce Bufo like William Dafoe with the accent on the second syllable. Say it out loud, it sounds great.

C
Casey White · January 14, 2022

Bad Batch Vibes. Love it!

S
SilentFlux · January 14, 2022

Love it! Grung (bullywug) is a fun class to play! It sounds like Emily's considering a wild magic sorcerer which I'm playing as right now. If I can recommend something, we tweaked the wild magic mechanic to make it seem more wild and play more of a part in the action. Rather than relying on a nat 1 to trigger the surge, we have a counter that starts at (10 - sorcerer level - charisma modifier), and never goes below 2. When casting a spell, you roll against the counter and if it meets it or is lower, the surge is triggered. If it's not met, the counter increases by 1. So at level 1 with say a +2 charisma modifier, the counter would start at 7 or lower. If the roll doesn't trigger it, it increases to 8. We've found that this makes the wild magic play a much bigger part in our campaign. It increases the tension/drama but there have also been times when the surge has come in handy, for example when I accidentally polymorphed myself into a spider and was able to escape a very tricky situation. And it also builds in a control mechanic as you increase in level and, in theory, learn to control it better. Just an idea! Love everyone's character ideas so far and can't wait for the campaign to start!!

A
Adah Kinzer · January 14, 2022

You should post this on the owlbear cave thread if you haven’t already

Scott Hewson · January 14, 2022

God, I can’t wait for Murph to introduce a super tight grandma. Just, so tight

E
Elizabeth Harris · January 14, 2022

I am so excited - these characters are going to be amazing! I hope the duck shows up! 🤣

J
Jason Conner · January 14, 2022

I love all the new characters. I think zephyr would be perfect for Emily to play. I’d also be lying if I said that I haven’t been dreaming for Caldwell to play a hard since the first campaign. A bullywog bard who daylights as a mascot? Literally perfect for Caldwell

a
ananarama · January 14, 2022

Low key the group reminds me of being the lower class people at Shinra from FF7 Crisis Core

I’m in love with Zeph

M
Melissa 'Mj' Fordos · January 14, 2022

I love the sound of Emily's Paladin bard whose a terrible poet 😆 She sounds like she'd get along well with Rubella from Child of Light. (Everyone in child of light rhymes when they speak- except Rubella, who always messes up the last line 😅)

emily, icy moons like europa and titan have cryovolcanoes! they’re very cool!

Can we please have a Hot Boy Summer style mini-campaign with tight grandmas? That would truly make my life complete

A
Adrienne C · January 14, 2022

Solomon is a great name but I low key was hoping for Caldwell to name his bullywug Jeremiah (as the song!) similar biblical vibe lol

L
Lorelei and Kyra Newly Weds · January 14, 2022

In my current campaign I've played 2 PC's from level 5-12 so far and it's been great. Fun RP moments and deeper tactical dives, if anyone could play and manage 2 PC's on NADDPOD it'd be Emily. Also is Mother ship just Mom's from Futurama?

J
John Butler · January 14, 2022

I just realized Emily’s bard could be Tread Nevers’s granddaughter

Carter Milius · January 14, 2022

Two things! First: Nana Kindleaf could be a tight grandma and also became a super soldier, extending her life Second: Caldwell you could be named Sullivan instead of Solomon that way you could be Sully the Bully I will leave these two ideas here, they are now in the public domain, have a good night

B
Branch · January 14, 2022

Really excited for the new campaign, I wonder if Caldwell would use another frogfolk like grung or mogogol for his race, especially since mogogol gets a sick toungue attack

N

I've looked at Grung, but haven't checked out Mogogol! Thanks for the rec! ~Caldwell

Crimson Claw · January 14, 2022

I hope Jake's EK uses Wis (or Cha) for his casting stat instead of Int. I think it fits better with what they discussed

faizaan723 · January 14, 2022

Two levels of paladin and the rest of the way in swords bard is genuinely one of my favourite builds ever, I've played it at a few different levels and its literally so good! Like its maybe not as broken as a sorcadin or a sorlock in terms of pure damage, but you can really do so much with it. Even though its not a prepared caster like wizard or druid, there's soo much variability in how you can play one from session to session, you can go crazy with smites using the bard's spell progression, you can focus on heals and buffs and bardics, or you can go hard on bard debuffs (also you get to be awesome with skill checks 'cause bard) like its genuinely soo much fun

W
Wash · January 14, 2022

Love all these ideas so much! Totally psyched about both of Emily's top choices. Really love the Cleric Sorcerer, but if you need a name for the poet/bard character just in case I've got two words... Narsty Smites

I would love to see Emily as a failing poet, but Sorcerer is my favorite class and I need to see Emily's take on it.

@Emily you should do the dragon turtle elf and call herself a dragon turdis elf.

how delightful that even a frog like me could eat fried chicken! truly worth a thousand words

Calder being a half giant with giant siblings implies that one of his parents isn’t his blood parent…spicy spicy drama *grabs popcorn*

My first campaign I dmed heavily involved a cult of Umberlee aka The Sea Bitch taking over a costal city! Such a cool vibe

Love the characters and I’m crossing my fingers for a Duck familiar 🤞 Calder/Caldwell is really gonna mess with me though 😂

@Emily, Also, a name for your spring showers elf: Petrichor or Petty for short. It’s the smell of fresh rainfall on asphalt, and you can call everyone ‘Sweetie’ condescendingly.

Nick P · January 14, 2022

Caldwell! Your idea got me so inspired and I kinda ran with it while y’all were riffing, but - what if Saul was born with an extra set of limbs due to runoff and pollution from the mothership - a classic two headed fish conundrum. Their family, not knowing exactly what to do with the mutant baby, sent him to this academy at an early age. While there, Saul excelled at everything they threw at them, but Saul wasn’t what they considered ‘perfect,’ and Saul’s damn arms couldn’t fit in their standardized super suit, and instead of tailoring a special fit, they plucked off those excess appendages and called it a day. Now, Saul struggles to maneuver as they used to, but, hey, at least they look damn fine in this suit, and have the ‘right’ number of limbs. The academy knows what’s best, right? Until one day two huge spiritual arms tear through that beautiful uniform during sparring practice, and they absolutely rock their opponent, but are from the match. Does Saul hide his astral arms to try to ‘fit in’ with what’s perfect? Do they leave the academy to work on their own mental health - deprogramming what Saul thinks is perfect? Does Saul still wear that damn suit?! Because admittedly, holes or no holes, they look fly as hell.

Dagur Logi · January 14, 2022

Hey guys amazing name for Jakes character and in Icelandic Calder means Cold. So that is a very cool theme

P
PuppetAnalingus · January 14, 2022

I like the idea of Zephyr, but it also gives me really big Saccharina vibes. But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I mean Jake only plays big good looking fighters. I dunno, I might be in the minority but I disagree with Murph on the idea of the players filling certain roles for the show. I think it’s so cool watching people learn how classes work and flexing that character range. Would be fun to see (hear?) Jake play a wizard, Emily play a full barbarian, and Caldwell playing just a normal straight laced dude.

M
Marge In Charge · January 14, 2022

Part of this shows glory is the absolute delight they don’t have to force it. Caldwell playing a straight laced dude sounds like he “wouldn’t have daycare” on those recording days. Jake has also said he wouldn’t really enjoy prepping spells and keeping them straight. Jake enjoys playing a hot fighter dude as much as Emily loves deep diving spells and as much as Caldwell likes to goof gods. Yes, it’s possible & would be kinda funny to hear the sweat bead drop off @Jake to the mic, but maybe…that’s a mixed bag one shot holiday special…where moonshine, hardwon, and Beverly all swap each other’s character classes 😶 or a live show? @Caldwell

Dope C3Ep0, really love Jake's character, pst make sure to take the "shield" spell its the eldritch knights bread n butter, could flavor as water bending into an ice wall like in ATLA. SO glad caldwell's bringing back the bullywug energy! Emily's palabard is such a crisp idea might have to snipe it for myself if she chooses the sorcerer / cleric hehe...

Calder - 7’7” Moana - 7’6”

j
joel · January 14, 2022

I had a slightly hard time understanding whether the "program" was a prestigious honor for volunteers or more of a conscription-based corporation army? If you decide to go the prestigious route, then maybe someone who wants to play an outcast character could still reasonably attend/be selected if someone wealthy/influential were to "sponsor" them? That would explain why a Bullywug who didn't know their parents could end up there - but why they still might end up on the proverbial "D team". As an example, maybe Solomon had a surrogate parent/mentor figure with past connections to Mothership etc. who sponsored them, which could also open up some cool roleplaying moments! Of course, ignore the above if it's already decided - It was just one of my few points of confusion. Can't wait for the first episode either way!

Noah Goodman · January 14, 2022

Emily - I know this is a selfish ask, but I really hope you don't name your character Zephyr. My pet cockatiel, Zephyr (who we also called Zeph) passed away recently at only a year old, and NADDPOD is one of the few things currently that really helps me get away from the depression. If I was hearing his name constantly I'm not sure I could keep listening. I know you can't tailor to everyone's needs and anyone could have a problem with any name, but... god, I hope Zephyr isn't the final name pick.

Christopher Wagner · January 14, 2022

@Jake Hurwitz Have you looked at Volo's Guide to Subraces? There is Giant lineage in there for being close to half giants. I built a Fireborn Goliath decended from Fire giants. Gives you different abilities closer to Frost giant desendant background. Goliaths are my fav race in D&D 5e

C
Cameron Knight · January 14, 2022

Firbolgs are pretty fun giant kin too! Similar tall boi energy with some innate spells Edit strike that: I looked at Frostborn Goliaths and that's it! Very cool didn't know about volos subclass. Resistance to cold dmg is great alone

Emily - they’re called cryovolcanoes and they exist on other planets and moons that are very cold and they are so awesome

Hey Emily, Arcadia Magazine (Matt Colville, MCDM Productions) has 4 class subtypes based on seasons, and there's a spring-flavored bard there, a hybernating winter wizard, an autumn harvest based warlock, and a fiery sorcerer that blinds its enemies. They're in Arcadia #2.
