I'm hoping the fungal network aspect and the Alexandrite network concepts clash story wise
Listening in 2026 and just absolutely had to share my enthusiasm at the synergy of HARDWON IN IRONDEEP since we didn’t get it in campaign 1!
“F-1 tomcat” how fucking dare you Caldwell
Emily is right; Big Bev was extremely hot when he threatened and threw Glenn out of the Crick.
Dang, shout out to beast boys VA getting fired by Paramount due to his Parkinsons diagnosis.
So very excited for hardwon’s return and very excited for Jake to be the one with the answers!! This is so fun
Was anyone else secretly hoping that Jake would introduce himself as Emmit the bullywug 😂
It’s been 200 years on the material plane - so hasn’t it been thousands or tens of thousands of years in the fae wild?
iirc, Murph said in campaign 1 that the flow of time in the feywild isn't always the ratio it was when the boobs were there. I think he said sometimes it can be the opposite. I could be totally wrong though but I think he said it on the episode when they first find out about the time difference.
To the people complaining about the death of Hot Glen: the reason Glen stopped being hot is because his authentic self—a sniveling, egomaniacal, loser—started overshadowing his sexy swimmer's body. Hotness isn't solely determined by physical appearance. A 10/10 body plus a -10/0 personality makes you infinitely unattractive.
It wasn't until listening to this that I realized that Hardwon in the Stormborn has big Han Solo in TFA vibes. Like that ship was his father's, it was old even back in C1 😂
i am part of the crowd that doesnt know what a maxum? is
De leveling hardwon to level 9 is way to hard to envision. I get it, but it doesn't add up talking about a demi god equivalent person in his in his middle aged "40s" only 3 years out of adventuring seems silly that he'd be down at the fighting level of cali and the frog. But I guess its a hard thing to implement. Its tarnishing hardwons legacy imo.
EEEK CONGRATS JAKE AND JILL!!
I like how hardwon channeled his mom when breaking up sol and penople's wrestling antics, like she did in the shadowfell with moonshine and hardwon in campaign one.
oh my god, has jake announced Jill’s pregnancy anywhere else? this is the first time I heard it
I for sure thought Jake was gonna play as one of the hot boys, but grown up.
Hardwon coming back and still somehow being low status while being high status works so well for his character.
Emily is the best 😤
Ah fuck, I wish I was funny
Emily don’t listen the misogynists people always trying to put you down. You are great and keep going!
Congratulations Jake and Jill!!! And Tucker!!!!
The next person who slanders Emily Axford is on my list. Absolutely not on my watch. She’s single-handedly changed the way I look at this game and I owe the smart (and smart-to- only-me) choices I make to her. Disagreeing is one thing (acceptable and, often, encouraged), slandering or bullying is another (and I will not stand for it). That being said, i can’t wait for the next arc in this series!! It’s going to be SO good! ❤️❤️❤️
Emily is my inspiration as a DnD player, I try to be like her when I play. She's simply the GOAT.
Congrats Tucker!!
CONGRATS JAAAAKE!!! ^_^
Quick question did Murph know Cooter was southern slang for vagina when he named him?
Congratulations Jake and Jill and Tucker!
I know yal probably wont see this but the dice you sent out for merch ARE SO SICK!!!
Maybe a little odd but i was cleaning out my old room while listening and grabbed the only model plane i ever owned, an F-1 tomcat, from the back of a dusty closet at the literal exact moment caldwell started talking about an F-1 tomcat
Damn thats crazy
I’m not crying you’re crying
Also is Tucker letting Jake be god father or…?
If the time dilation from the feywild is the same as campaign one, then to the feywild the band of boobs defeated Thiala like 73,000 years ago.
The beans remind me of D20 Fantasy High yogurt 😂
The yogurt bit started out as beans!
I had a tiny part of me thinking Jake would've played an adult version of Tread being embarrassed at all his spells being emo acoustic lyrics
Emily could take the Interception fighting style from Tasha's instead of Defence; it works like Protection but you subtract damage instead of imposing disadvantage and you can use it with a martial weapon or a shield.
It would be awesome if Calder becomes a Rune Knight with the giant runes after being stuck with Ultros so long
Monks are my favorite class and Long Death is my fav link subclass! Very excited for Sol/Caldwell! Also congrats Jake and Jill!
Congrats Jill and Jake!!
congratulations jake!!!
Congrats to Jill and Jake!!!! So happy for you!!!
I literally started to cry when Hardwon was introduced, and then had to check in with myself on my emotional levels 😅
Can the episode where Hardwon and Calder meet PLEASE be called Maxims and Molsons?
There’s a really interesting Homebrew class called The Mentor, that would have been perfect with Hardwon’s reintro Deleveling will probably be more true to Hardwons character, but it would have been an interesting turn for him I think! So excited for what the future holds!
congrats jake!! i really love hearing you guys talk about your characters’ new trait and why you guys chose them
Congrats Tucker!
Hardwon coming back feels like Ol' Cob
Also Emily I am hugging u 😭 everytime I hear how people say the most out of pocket shit at u for no reason I am dumbfounded but unfortunately not surprised...... Sending strength and love on behalf of the girls and the gays
Getting hardwon back in such a silly way made me so happy!! We needed the goofs after the trauma of last ep, and I hope we can see Hardwon back to being a boss bitch before Jake goes on pat leave!
Omg congrats Jake!!
Big Bev was acting Hot and I 100% support this BB/Callie things! Also congrats on the baby Jake!
I thought this was great. Maybe I haven't listened to campaign 1 recently, but I didn't feel like hardwon missed a beat. What is Maxim but a photorealistic version of his painting of Gemma? Love it team. !
Jake gave us a masterclass on how to start off the 2nd novel of a characters story. It was so fresh and new, but still felt SO satisfying to have him back. Jake just knows this character inside and out, I was laughing and crying all at the same time just to have him back again lol. cant talk enough about perfect this episode was
Congrats to Jake and Jill!!!
Didn't hard bean lost his arm in tomb of horrors? Or they just mend it up
that was non-canonical :)
here for big bev/callie
THE LETTER #RELEASE THE LETTER
PLEASE
Big Bev was 1000% acting hot
Thank you Murph for the “…Glen is bad?” bit here. & kudos to Emily for playing it exactly how she did—after the way way Glen treated Calli, Calli not caring/not taking responsibility for him anymore was such a satisfying moment for her character.
Anyone catch themselves thinking ‘It must be weird for Hardwon having missed all this campaign 3 stuff..’ and completely forgetting that Jake has been here the whole time?
Shit, I hope my comment wasn't one of the ones Emily meant. I was disappointed that no one seemed interested in a Glen redemption arc, but I wasn't angry! Not everyone has to share my love of that trope.
I was also thinking about a Glen redemption arc! You’re not alone
Man, Subclass switching is rad! The Touch of Long Death uses a con save to half the necrotic damage which for a level 17 martial feature, is kinda sad when you see how high monster con saves are at that level. It would be cool to get rid of the con save if it turns out that Saul needs a buff before the epic final fight.
For Caldwell, 6 astral and the rest spore druid would be thematic and be more survivable. But full long death is gonna be interesting.
There's no way they would step on moonshine's vibe by taking levels in spore druid
Oh my God congrats Jill and Trevor! Jake congrats on becoming a Nanny!
I love the new intro free 2023 intro
I really loved the portland live show reference in the ep
I love the vibe as hardwon being a Bruce wayne, in batman beyond. In retirement but still having the itch for the hero life.
Congratulations to Jake and Jill!
And Tucker
jake immediately playing hardwon so goofy felt like coming home to campaign 1! i think because we have the questions of "why did he return the axe" and "what's been going on with him," i don't even feel that the beans and magazines diminishing his actual status as one of the titans of behumia for all the mixed feelings and wishes for what "could have been" that anyone might have, i think this was a perfectly silly and heartwarming return of an old friend 💖
also after listening to more of the ep, my favourite thing is when murph supports enily by gently but Firmly setting the record straight with the audience when emily apologizes for smth that truly doesnt need apologizing for rather than taking things in good faith, some folks will hold onto truly the most innocuous statement and try to use it against the person who said it i just hope emily knows that any reasonable person is not going to hold it against her using "rip hot glen" as shorthand for "glen is a megalomaniac who turned miserable and pathetic the second he lost, and his actions directly caused one of callie's best friends to get trapped in a cursed helm, and all of these things combined finally shattered her rose tinted glasses and smothered any lingering attracting she had towards him once and for all"
Theory: It’s not really him
Had to pause listening to eldermourne to start this!
Same
That reveal! Great job naddpod. Story sages for the ages.
Excited to hear the gang talk about beans and Jessica Simpson.
