Cornflower becoming a museum curator with replicas (ethical) is such a cute idea
The Cheswick ping pong tournament was so hilarious
Because of this episode, I’m back to liking Shiverblight. I find it so funny how Murph plays her. 😂
Who else thinks Shiverblight is Lumpy Space Princess in dragon form?
Pretty much, but something tells me only Caldwell knows Adventure Time very well.
Heartbreaking that nobody acknowledged "The Hoppelganger."
Always have more Cheswicks than you think you’ll need
Spoiler "Getting sad with Jake Herwitz" 😅😭😭 the foreshadowing
They had those puppets on lock down, what the heck!
I truly appreciate the ping pong ball sound effects
Emily and murph just razzing each other as quick blast and fia had me 💀 incredible edit: not me seeing I put this comment on C3 now that I’m here when it was for C2 🫣
If is unbelievably against my nature to hope paw paw is stopped from scrambling…
I really do listen to this at work and I will be in my cubicle fucking laughing to myself. 10/10.
Same, same.
Running a little late to this episode, but this pawpaw should’ve totally been called faux pas!
Thank you for bringing back Original Cheswick!
Did anyone else catch Cauldy say about Cornflower "He's got more to offer. He's a grower" and not die laughing. @Cauldy bro your such a Costanza.
To be fair to Jake I also heard “be my dad”
The references were on point this ep! "Scramble man" possum puppet and the "time traveling halfling with a bag of holding" made my heart happy.
I just wanna say, as silly as a name like cornflower, it's a really beautiful species.
The absolute insane Zac Oyama energy Cornflower was bringing had me in tears😂
I would love to hear Zac takeover as a recurring Cornflower.
Shiverblight is the kind of shit head we love and appreciate 😂
Anyone else think Big Bev is Glenn's actual dragon? He didn't seem upset at all losing the green dragon to the serpent, and now this situation with Glenn escaping.
This was one of my favorite episodes of this season!!!! Such a great set of encounters that allowed your players characters to shine in their most unique way. Bravo!!!! 👏
A truly thick ‘sode
Omg the music for Cornflower reminds me of the Paul McCartney Christmas song 🤣 it’s that synth sound for me!
Haha I was listening to it waiting for a bus downtown and I thought someone was playing music. Kept taking off my earphones 🤣🤣🎶🎶
Calder's high pitched shriek absolutely drove me to tears
Love me a thicksode that is almost exclusively shenanigans
Gosh, this was such a fun episode. I'm so excited for the direction the living woods is going in.
Hoppleganger is THE best
Cornflower was a surprisingly lovable character.
Crying a lot at the line "you carried us as hatchlings, and now we carry you, Father. I will be your wings" 😭😭😭😭😭
THICCCKK EPISODE I LOVE IT THANK YOU MURPH
This is one of my all time favorite episodes. You guys were on FIRE!
Any chance we’re gonna get any guests in C3?
I believe murph said in one of the more recent hearthsides that they would like to, and that they'll likely be people who have never been on the pod or never guested with a pc
these sound effects are hilarious, the ping pong audio had me cackling
I had to rewind to make sure I wasn't hearing things, absolutely loved the sound effects as well 🤣
I love the kobolds. Very FF9 Zorn and Thorn.
Love that the puppets laugh like Jimmy Carr 😂
I truly cannot wait to see what sort of insane shit Murph inevitably turns the Cheswick goof into 50 episodes from now
We desperately need an Oops All Cheswicks one-shot
Caldwell making the guttural frog sound, reminiscent of C1 bullywogs, echoed by the elves made me cry & laugh at the same time, strange times. I love it
Did anyone else fall a little bit in love with Cornflower when he said, "I know this stuff may seem dumb, but I like collecting it"?
Jesus christ Murph long night?? dudes posting at 5am his time
Finally binging my way through the first campaign. I thought it might be tricky to try and listen to that concurrent with this, but so far all of the references to first campaign events have been relatively vague, things that happened early in the campaign, or small things. Instead of being spoiled its like I get the joy of the reference in reverse when I get to whatever has been referenced. I can only assume this episode will have a similarly benign effect on spoiling the first campaign, can't wait to listen.
This show has always rocked. Emily is so good at this game and so creative. Jake is so funny. Murph is such a good DM.
I’m just picturing Murph trying to come up with different bad-ass shades of blue, giving up, and going, “Fuck it, the last one is cornflower.”
Chex wick is by far my favorite npc in all of nadpod. He makes me cry laughing. Too bad he isn’t dmpc material

I just listened to a WoW 8-Bit episode, Emily. I love brownies and eat them regularly. I haven't had a dry one in like 16 years now
Absolutely wild. Everytime I relisten to that I am shocked. She gaslight herself her whole life about brownies.
Project Blackflag sounds like it will be the way we pivot I'm excited if it happens. It'll be a good way to learn the system through listening, like I did with 5E
Whatever the future holds, you will always have my support.
Thanks for the ep, Murph! Now it is time for an awkward nap on the couch covered in cats!!! I am right behind you on the nap train. A chapter of my PhD dissertation is due to my advisor today by noon. This ep will give me the last push I need after working all night on it.
Coming in months later to say I listen to NADDPod while I frantically am finishing my PhD to keep me going as well
hope you're doing ok Murph, please get some sleep!! and thank you for blessing us with a Thick Sode 💛
Olaf dies in frozen 2. Ps why wife is in labor and this came out at the perfect time 🙏🏻🤝
I know this is from like 3 years ago but congrats!! I hope you’re all doing well!!
Hope you're doing well Murph thanks for staying up late to get the episode out <3
Gaming
Wasn't anticipating being so deep in my feelings this early in the morning.
Cant see the file. Am i the only one?
Praise be to Murph, for his sleep schedule was crucified upon the mighty D20 so we may have a new episode to start our day 🙏
Yesssss so excited!
2 hours! Oh boy
Go to bed,Mr Murphy!
I second this
