Questions Needed for Hearthside Chat

Dearest Jake, Daddy Murphy, Thick Tanner and of course Ms. Callie Crits, please enlighten me. TGI Skydays... Do they cater and did Krugen havr it at the church from time to time? Door dash situation maybe?

Probably too late, but Murph, how much of C3 is based on or inspired by real world events/politics? The Mothership corporation sounds like a certain real world companies. Thanks!

Hello boobs! Is there any updates on the NADDPOD video game? 😊

this has probably already been recorded but i figure it cant hurt to ask and see: for murph - your encounter designs on this podcast are continually so cool and dynamic, just wondering how you would feel about making encounters for battle maps? we the fans are aware youve had experience playing in them, but do you think it’d be the same level of difficulty/work to create these encounters as your theatre of the mind ones? how much do you think translates between making these two different kinds of encounters? and is that something you would have interest in doing for content, or do you prefer your theatre of the mind encounters?

Quick question for the crew to tickle your tastebuds and quench my curiosity... What are your all time favorite meals? I'm talkin death row, last meal, you can pick whatever you want... what's on the menu?

What are your favorite bridges (both of a song and over a river)?

I have two campaign questions for everyone: 1. Episode 29 ended with the party wanting to keep Glenn "in custody" so that he wouldn't cause more trouble. However, in the beginning of episode 30 the party casts off Glenn so that he runs into the woods. Why did the party change their mind about what to do with Glenn? 2. Does Mee Maw and/ or the Crick know that Old Cobb passed away? How do you think they would react to hearing the news? If they do not know, do you think Hardwon would be treated differently after knowing how/why Old Cobb died? Thanks!

Question for Emily: Regarding the Mavrus timeline, does your head-cannon include any major differences from the Prime Bahumia timeline universe? Since we got see how Bahumia-Prime changed over time when Murph jumped ahead a few hundred years, do you think future-era Bahumia in the Mavrus timeline would be largely similar or drastically different? *Personally I'd love to see Emily run Spelljammer or the StarWars5e system in space-opera era Bahumia.

Question for Murph. Are you interested on doing a high level oneshot for the OG Band of boobs maybe it could even be shot as a flash back for Hardwon back to when they bested some high level Astral force or entity. Question for All. What fiction franchise (of any media including books, movies, recipes, sculptures, ect) would you consider to be amoung your favorites of all time?(sometimes its hard to pick 1 favorite so i left it open to multiple answers)

Question for Jake: What are your thoughts on playing a spellcasting class after playing with Calder for a bit? Holding out hope for an ‘oops all mages’ party one day! Love the return of 8BBG btw!

Question for Jake: What is the smallest race you would be interested to play for a full campaign?

Hello Emily, Murph, Caldwell, and Jake. I am a relatively new DM and I am struggling to keep my players focused on roleplaying there characters and just roleplaying in General. I was wondering if you all had any tips on how to get my players more involved in roleplaying ? Thanks and love the show! It got me into DMing my first campaign!

More of a suggestion than a question but have you considered having Chatgpt write a campaign and then running it for the Patreon or something? I think it would be hysterical

Jake hugged a tree a while ago and said he felt connected and grounded, jake are you still hugging trees or doing other things to ground yourself? What about Emily, Caldwell, and pebblepot marty?

Im sure this question gets asked a lot, but I think it just shows how intriguing the prospects could be: To Jake, do you think after years of being a player both in DnD and in real life, are you feeling more confident with the rules and general aspects of DnD that you may find yourself wanting to DM for the show at some point, and if so, do you have any potential eggs cooking for what kind of setting you would create? P.S. Congratulations on upcoming fatherhood!

Everyone - have you guys started brainstorming on ideas for Jake’s paternity leave? I know it puts a lot of pressure on guests, but I thought Lou’s performance/chemistry was amazing during Eldermourne.

Will we ever get a Bahumian cookbook?

With the game on hold, would you release a naddpod source book/ pdf?

Why haven't you called the new campaign Ba-two-mia yet?

Caldwell, if Sol fully died in the fight against Glen, what class would you have played next?

would your campaign have differed?

This question is for Murph, if Caldur never took the deal Ultris offered how

Have you seen the D&D movie? If so, what did you like?

Emily - do you plan on releasing some of the C3 music any time soon? Even just on the patreon? I love it!!

Can we PLEASE have the boob triplet visit Trinnyvale?

Jake, if not for the super hype return of Hardwon, what other characters would u have contemplated playing

Jake/Murph! With Ultriss always trying to escape whenever Calder had to sleep, do you think Calder is trying to break out and reclaim his body when Ultriss decides to nap?

Hey Murph, did you ever watch this show? https://youtu.be/Hyb1S1YpftQ

Will Emily put more campaign music on Spotify? (It’s just perfect session music and reading music)

Are there any previous npc’s from season 1 that any of the 2 crew are hoping to see again? I know we all eagerly await the return of Pendergreens lol

Caldwell. Now that the Trinnyvale Triplets have been to Bahumia, is there ever a chance they make it to Kongo Bongo Island?

How would you rank your major villains in terms of evilness, Thiala, Moxora and the Triplets?

Q for Emma Stafford - Love your music! Which musical project were you most excited to compose? Any exciting plans coming up or desires to work on something?

Which sequel film was better: Rescuers Down Under or Fievel Goes West?

How many other kids does Meemaw have and why was it assumed Moonshine would be her heir??

G’day! When y’all flew Down Under for the live shows did you get to try any Australian classics, such as the infamous Vegemite? Or any other Aussie delicacies! I heard Caldwell is a big fan of our Tim Tams! Love the show, thanks gang

Murph, how do you keep encounters creative for only 3 PCs? I'm a GM for a 3 PC game and I'm always struggling to raise the stakes when downing a PC can radically shift the tide of combat for the worse.

Will Jake ever DM?

Will we get another instalment of hot boy summer?

HUGE fan of the pod and all of you. My question is: How do each of you keep it fresh, and keep your love of the game alive, as you also play it as a full-time job.

Two of these remain, and one has to go: dungeons, dragons, and the fighter class. Which two do you keep?

hey all! if you were to give your real life selves dnd stats, what would they be? additionally, if you could have any one feat irl what would you choose?

for any and all of you: do you have a favorite set of dice? if so, what do they look like, what makes them fun to use, etc. !

Fuck marry kill, hot boy summer, trinyvale and Congo bongo island

How often do funny phrases from the show carry over into your regular lives? For example, how often did you say ‘but this is ridiculous’ after that recording session?

Does the Ruby Dawn still exist in Campaign 3?

Hola! Murph, when you are world building or working out the next section of the campaign, do you ever reach out to other DMs to bounce ideas off of them or work out mechanics?

If after you die, you got to choose any composer ever to compose a score as background music for your life who would you choose and what style of music would it be?

Hey Guys! I wanted to ask, how much do you guys talk about potential character turns and development before a session and how much do you let unfold at the table? Does this change when you are doing a home game and not a Live Play?

Idk if this sent so sorry if I'm double posting 💀. Fuck marry kill: each of your c1, c2, c3 characters (so like for Emily: moonshine/Fia/Calliope etc)

Emily - you mentioned on a short rest recently that she’s been getting into birds. I, too, am a big fan of birds and want to know - what’s your favorite? (I live in OK and my favorite that I see regularly is a chickadee). Side Q - played with my new naddpod dice last night for the first time. I was so excited. I have NEVER ROLLED WORSE. So also just wondering if Murph touched my dice.

Are you going to do a campaign or oneshot based on pathfinder?

Do you guys have plans to bring back video D&D Court videos? I have ADHD and the videos were really good for keeping me focused so I don't have rewind so i can pay attention and understand what was said like 30 times over. Thanks so much for everything you guys do, I've been a fan since day 1!!

Who is the strongest character in the Roald Dahl universe? And who would you dress up as if you went to a Roald Dahl themed party?

Would you consider doing a campaign, especially a major one, with a system besides dnd? Do you think such podcasts have the same chance at success/appeal given the popularity of dnd over other systems?

Why is Murph dice cursed? What has he done to deserve the wrath of Dice Christ? What can the party do, and what can we do, the two crew collective, to help exorcise the Dice Demons from Murph’s palms? Perhaps a mass D20 roll on a certain date and time to decide his fate…

For the 3 DMs and Jake (who may only answer if he confirms he will one day DM), if you could make a new subclass for any class what would it be?

Would it be possible Togo back to more than 2 campaign episodes a month? Maybe moving either DnD court to a Tuesday release once a month or something?

Are there any ideas for when Jake goes on pat leave (congratulations!!!)

Do you still have Hardwons letter to moonshine? Are you ever going to release it?

Are you ever going to release Hardwon's letter to Moonshine?

Murph, What's your structure for building a new town, area, setting? Do you have certain aspects that you need fleshed out? Do you start with one cool thing and expand from there? Do you just have a general vibe you are going for?

When you get in the shower, do you enter from the side closest to the shower head or opposite the shower head?

Fuck, marry, kill: each of your c1, c2 and c3 characters x

which bahumia character or noc acted most differently during live shows.

What cds or tapes did you each obsessively listen to in middle or high school? Do you still listen to that artist now?

Emily, I just read Vita Nostra after hearing you plug it a little while ago, and I absolutely loved it! Do you have any other book recommendations?

What is the name of hardwon's axe? Would he have named it after three years alone?

Will you guys sing the hemp milk song?

What are each of the blue crews skincare routines?

How do you guys navigate meeting characters or talking about things from c1 that you as players know but the characters dont? It seems like improving that would be kinda hard

Will Emily bring out a new album similar to the Doomsday diaries? That album is gorge

What does Emily think the Blue Crews birthstones are? What does Jake think? Why is he wrong?

Have you considered doing any more looks at other ttrpgs? Would personally love to see a look over Blades In The Dark, maybe by Caldwell since he used the flashback mechanic for a Trinyvale oneshot.

conspiracy Q that id like an A to. Is eldermourne future or past bahumia or am i listening to too much naddpod? thanks you guys rock

Have you guys seen sky high?!

What a the cardinal sins of dnd? My personal opinion is choosing the wrong stats for the class, going full dex with sorcerer, or full int warlock. You’re doing it wrong you’re not going to be able to use your class properly, and no one’s going to have fun

For everybody, if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be and why? BONUS: answer for your character as well

Are we going to see the triumphant return of Falster? If so, is he the real big bad of this campaign?

Hi sweeties! Are there plans to do a mini-arc or even the next campaign using Pathfinder or another system? I'd love to see you go back to the days of learning your characters and growing with them, as a change to C3 where you started at lvl 5 and super powerful already!

does mike wazowski wink or blink

Murph! you've been getting into hockey?? who's your team(s) and what's your cup prediction???

not the most fun question lmao, but as someone planning to perhaps write an essay assignment abt some naddpod stuff, i wanted to at least try asking: in terms of crediting the podcast in a works cited page, what order would y’all prefer the order of names to be when listing creators?

Do you guys want to come on my stag do? We're getting an airdnd and playing one shots for a weekend! My one stipulation is Binky Fiasco must be in attendance. May 13th, Exeter UK. Be there or be... Not there.

What are y'alls favorite Achorman quotes?

One more, I recently just watched Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas, any chance of reviewing the film for a mixed bag???

If you were to name a pet after a character from any of the campaigns, what name would you choose? Curious because my husband and I almost named our black cat “Onyx” We ended up naming her Vivi from Final Fantasy 9 instead.

When did each of you know that your spouse was “the one?”

What are your third favorite snack foods?

Murph, I've been DMing for a couple years for our group. I wanted to know how you give so much personality and flavor to an npc I'm such a short amount of time. Is it just consistent voices, editing, personality quirks? And lastly, why do you hate anchor man?

In bringing back Hardwon, was there any thought of changing his subclass for some new flavor in the new campaign?

What is everyone’s favorite cuisine, dish from that cuisine, and why?

Murph, are you keeping up with modern pro-wrestling? Do you acknowledge the Tribal Chief?

Ciao! Would you rather cry oatmeal or sweat ketchup? Assume your body can handle the process (ie. nothing's getting ruptured here) but discomfort and such is still very much at play. Arrivederci!

There used the be a lot of guests in the campaigns but campaign 3 is 30 episodes in and there hasn't been one so far, is this a move towards trying to be more narritive focused or is it just harder to schedule now

Has there ever been a time where you had to scrap something or rerecord because you weren’t happy with the result of the content? A bad decision or unbalanced encounter, or is it all as unscripted as it seems?

Question for Jake; since you are stopping If I Were You, I really want confirmation that you will be coming back to NADDPOD after your parental leave

For Jake: Can we get a Jake & Amir Table Read Part 3: Dungeons & Dragons? Or a new Double Date (Triple Date?) with Jill in the vid??

Question for Caldy, when you created Sol in your minds eye did you mean for him to be the most anime Frog or Battletoad inspired or mayhap, a FUSION!?!?

Another question: what did you think of the recent D&D movie? I don’t know if you plan a 8bit book club on that but curious to hear a quick opinion :)

With that question, did you thought to sell tickets to online streamings? I know you did some charity ones but for example I live in Hong Kong and the closest you will ever get to me was Australia, which is still far 😊 but I would buy a online ticket straining in a heartbeat.

There’s a similar question already but I would really love to know do you have further vision for NADDPOD? Plans? Goals?

@Murph (Brian, not Emily, per most recent Dungeon Court Bonus Cases). Was the automaton/robot voice from C3: Ep 32 inspired from “Murph-Bot”? I was hearing some similarities when you were getting whomped.

I am still waiting for Hardwon’s letter to Moonshine :) I will never stop praying for the day it drops.

If you could have one person dead or alive be a guest on the podcast who would it be and what class do you think they would play?

What is your favorite class you have or haven’t played? What’s your least favorite?

No intro for me in 2023. But I would love to hear a Murph Reacts segment on the Fast and Furious franchise

My question is for the rad dads. Caldwell, what is your most unexpectedly favorite thing about parenthood? And Jake, what are you most looking forward to about being a father?

Was re listening to season 1 since I just planted my pawpaw tree to grow in my yard. Hopefully it becomes as good a lawyer as the scramble man himself. Thank you for inspiring me to try and be a better Druid irl!

How did Murph and Caldwell come up with the names “Bahumia” and “Trinyvale?”

Any chances of getting more guests arc 1 style?

To Murph: is Galad Rosel a parody of Galad Damodred? Just finished the WOT books and am curious if there were other Easter eggs/inspirations!

🤙 For erbody: If all animals were the same size, what animal do you think would win in a deathmatch against any other animal?

To Jake - I think you've said you wouldn't want to DM in the past, but I think you'd be great at it!! That being said, what would a Jake dungeons and dragons game look like? (Also ps Emily my partner wants to know what one animal you would turn into animurphs style) Thanks y'all!!!

To Murph and Caldwell, If 216 year old Beverly ever gets lines in C3, would Caldwell talk for Beverly? If so, would Caldwell do a different voice or would it be the same voice we know and love?

What's up 2 crew!! My sort of question is for each of you to pick one ingredient to make a soup with. Let's say we start with a vegetable stock base, now each of you picks one ingredient to add to the soup until we have a 4-ingredient soup. Finally, what's the name of the soup?

Emily and Caldwell, what is it like to interact with Hardwon pretending like you don't know his whole story? Murph, how do the interactions with hardwon play with new audiences who just tuned in for this campaign? Jake, thanks for being a special guest on this hearthstone chat! Look forward to hearing from you in future episodes!

To the entire cast, what are the chances of an alternate scenario for campaign three where we see the band boobs return for one or two missions or episodes similar to how the hexbloods had their little arc in campaign two

Will you ever come to Arizona? Not to far of travel for some of you 😃

what is the anatomy of a perfect one shot

My best friend Mason is a huge Hardwon fan! He's been on testosterone for 2 years, and has some light stubble. Whenever he's disappointed about not having a beard yet, I remind him that Hardwon was the last one in the dwarfanage to grow one, and it always makes him happy! Anyway, I just wanted to say that you help him whenever he's feeling down. Also! How old was Hardwon when it finally grew in?

To the cast: is there any class/subclass that you never want to play?

Is it possible for us to learn what the note to Moonshine from Hardwon said?

To the cast: what’s the best soup you’ve ever had?

I know Emily has been reading the Murderbot Diaries which features one of my comfort characters: Murderbot. Do you all have a comfort character/ piece of media you return to?

What are some ideas for sentient weapons?

Hey Jake, since you are quitting “if I were you” do you think you will have the time to finally appear on 8 bit book club?

DM Question: In my campaigns I have noticed that I tend to pull punches on PCs whose stories I've grown invested in, but not for PCs whose stories the PC seems uninterested in developing. My question do you think as a DM its okay to pull punches or let everyone suffer the cruel whims of the Dice. - Rose

What species was albie? Did I miss it or was it never mentioned.

What are your hopes and dreams for NADDPOD?

It’s the first week of warm spring weather where I am and I’m seeing more animals already! Do Murph and Emily have any critter country updates? And for Jake and Caldwell, what’re your favorite spring outdoor activities?

If there was a blockbuster movie of campaign 3, who would you want to play your characters and NPCs?

What is Calder's, Callie's and Sol's favorite dish or food?

We all know and love the bastard of the mountain, Hardwon Surefoot, Jake’s first ever D&D character. For the rest of the crew: Who were your first characters? What were they like?

Borrowing from If I Were You, and asking all four of you: what's your current piece of unsolicited advice?

General D&D Question for Murph: From the boobs skipping over the explanation of why The Chosen were angels and referring to them as birds, to Moonshine jumping over what she thought was a trapped floor and completely missing the teleporter, there have been several occasions of the players skipping past things you’ve thought to be important to often hilarious or wacky results. Have you ever been compelled to create ‘dud’ rooms – rooms that seem complex but don’t actually lead anywhere – just to see how far into the weeds you can lead everybody?

Hey y’all! Is there anywhere I could find character sheets and stat blocks for past NADDPOD characters/monsters

Will Jake ever DM a mini (or lowly) campaign?

Hey Gang, What's your favourite and least favourite Typeface/Font

Murph and Emily - any good scenes come to mind for a Dnd themed Hot Date episode?

What was each of your favorite family trips growing up?

With all of the D&D y’all play, I’ve got to assume you’re a bunch of dice Goblins. Out of all the types (metal, resin, wood, edible… etc) which is your favourite material for the click-clack math rocks?

The Boobs were jocks. The Eldermourners were nerds. The Trinyvale Triplets were preps. Duck Team is drama kids. What category were each of you in High School?

Jake would you rather fight 100 pentergreen sized fosters or 100 foster sized perntergreens? Also does anyone else see the simalarties between Hardone and Thor? Used to rock a hammer and now an axe? And other things.

Do you think that DMing involves an inherent talent or is it skill that can be evolved from essentially nothing?

After some time has passed had Jake kept with his stance on getting a million grills?

So I was the singer in a ska/pop punk band in college and I just want to know what your fav song in that genre is. Which songs do you think you characters would like (any of them)? I personally really enjoy Save Ferris's cover of Come On, Eileen.

I've deeply enjoyed the mini campaigns and one shots DMed by Emily. What inspires your world building?

Do you put both socks on before your shoes? Or do you put one sock on then your shoe and then the other sock and shoe? Big fan from Crittsburgh, love yinz.

Emily, have you read A Day of Fallen Night yet? Did you like it??

Hey Jale, I’ve cooked up two fuck marry kills that are even better than Saul’s chili. Fuck, Marry, Kill 1: Calliope, Calder, Saul Fuck, Marry, Kill 2: Brad Pitt in Troy, Brad Pitt in Fight Club, Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Hey y’all. If you’re given the choice to fight a bunch of chickens or an elephant, how many chickens becomes too many and so you have to go with elephant?

Captain N the Gamemaster gets rebooted for a new generation, you are cast as the voice for one of the main characters, who is it and why??

Intro free 2023 Campaign: when will murph reveal balnor is the current immortal king of the astral plane? Also, how confident are your characters feeling about getting out alive from a fight with ultris? Non campaign- fuck, marry, fight to the death- your choice of M&M color mascot, your choice of cereal mascot, your choice 80s cartoon character

Have you thought about trying other Tabletop games? Murph you should look into Nightbane by Palladium. Good chance for a return of Cody from Sleeping City

For Jake, Emily, and Murph, do you have any stories about filming the Jake and Amir Double Date episodes? For Caldwell, if NADDPOD was turned into an animated show, what shows art style do you think it would look most like?

What can I do with a 5 year old for three days in LA?

Not a question but a genuine thank you for coming to Australia. We had an absolute blast playing with you in Melbourne and it was surreal and lovely meeting and mingling with other Naddpod fans. You don't know us, but you mean a lot to us. So thanks again for making the effort to come across the world.

Hey Murph, who in the college humor cast do you think you could beat in WWE wrestling matches?

Murph – during the pandemic you mentioned that you were training pretty frequently. How’d that go? Is it something you were able to continue after life got back to mostly normal? Any favorite lifts or other aspects that you particularly enjoyed?

Petition for Caldwell and Jake, as current and soon to be fathers respectively, to be known as the Big Bad Mad Lad NADDADS

Hey Jake how cool do you think it was when Piccolo went super Saiyan on Namek and killed Frieza? Cinematic perfection!

Do you think you might do a non-D&D mini campaign/oneshot? Also: how are the cats doing?

What's your top/dump stat in real life and does it impact your character creation process and the classes you play? My top would be constipation and my dump stat is charisma, so you bet I will not be playing a sorcerer any time soon.

For the whole crew: If you had a super power that let one type of liquid come out of your pointer finger, what liquid would you choose? (I think I’d choose water that’s always the right temperature. Never too cold, never too warm. Though gas for my car would be nice too with these prices)

Hey gang Lorelei and Kyra here hoping this day finds you well. This question is more for Emily but anyone else with a suggestion would be appreciated. We are trying to get away from consuming as much Dairy, Kyra being lactose intolerant and me working with pizza. Do you have any good foods or substitutes? She just found a pudding brand that can be made without milk and was super excited.

We're taking a trip to NYC in the coming months. What are some "must see" parts that y'all personally recommend? Anything RPG, fantasy, or comedy inspiring?

In the dnd movie Chris Pine shoves a great axe into a dragons mouth to prop it open, does that vindicate Beverly’s attempt to do that in C1?

We’ve already been to the Beastlands, Callie being of the Fae could bring the Fae Wild into the mix, Gladeholm seems nearly inevitable. Are there any old planes like Shadowfell or The One Hells you guys have thought about what they’re like now after 200 years? Murph are there any other planes that exist in your head cannon for Bahumia that neither Boob nor Duck has been to? Frivolous question: can we get a critter country roll call? Y’all have so many cats, I need a family tree to keep track fr

Hey little ducklings! Will the triplets ever make it to the party plane? Hungry Dave and Mavrus and the triplets could make some beautiful, horrifying chaos together.

Are you guys gonna do an 8bit book club on the new D&D movie?

what's the best oil?

Would you rather be cucked by 6 foot tall Sonic the Hedgehog or a lil buddy sized Kevin Costner?

Non-Campaign Question: I’m playing Yogi Bear in an upcoming campaign as a bladesinging Paladin and I’m trying to rename divine smite and other Paladin features do y’all have any ideas?

Whats up with those bananas?

Have you guys ever considered running a different system for a one shot or short adventure or would playing a system like Call of Cthulu be too weird on a podcast with D&D in the name?

Hey All! I wanted to say that Naddpod has really been inspiring and I want to thank Murph for the World of Bauhomia. I am the only one at my table that listens,which for now is a good thing because I am running an alternate reality where the Band of Boobs never met but the characters still exist and my players are the heros of the story from Campaign one. I have of course edited it for my party but the world building is all Murph. (Don't worry I did tell them that it isn't my own creation.)

This question is sort of a 50/50, but if yo could have any D&D creature as a pet what would it be? Including pets from the campaigns of course! And for a more campaign oriented question, if duck team does beat Ultris in the coming battle, will they try to re-seal him in the helmet? Or find a way to remove him entirely without killing Calder

To The Honorable Judge Bailiff Jake Lowly Of The City Of Boston; im gonna throw you some unrelated questions that you can choose from when you wanna get a little silly: -favorite gluten free snacks? (i have celiac disease and idk what to eat except potato chips please help) -in terms of d&d or other rpgs: what is the worst character idea that you got overly committed to but have never played (yet)? -any music recs? always looking for new good tunes -describe the plot of your ideal fanfic about your character (this one is bold but i have faith in you guys) -should the toilet paper go loose part front or loose part back? (this one can get contentious) -(another contentious one): cereal first, or milk first? -this one is for Emily specifically- from all the knowledge about the deep sea that you aquired for the first mavrus chronicles (my #1 favorite of all time ever), what is your favorite sea creature and why? (mine is seals, they are so squish but also violent)

Are there any plans for upcoming live shows?

SUP FUCKERS ITS TUCKER. I found this nerd who pays your patreolithic whatever the fuck so I took her for a spin. Invite me on the pod Murphy, Emily (hey), and Caldwell. I’ll replace Jake and fuck your wives. Call me xoxo

How did you all enjoy performing in Canada? What city brought more fire? Toronto or Vancouver. Also thank you for coming up here, was fantastic seeing you guys live?

Did Caldwell draw any inspiration from Chrono Trigger's Frog when thinking up Sol? If not what was the process like?

Hi! You can pick either of these. :) 1. I know money can be uncomfy to talk about, but I’ve always been impressed at your collective acumen and very curious how you ran your business? Specifically, splitting profits from Patreon, shows, and merch, while each putting in things over and above your performances at showtime. Does Murph’s prep, Emily’s music, and Caldwell’s and Jake’s livestreams each make up your slice of the pie? Thanks for being such a great model of successful creator collaboration! I can’t imagine you’d be where you are if you weren’t all capable of frank discussion about tough topics. 2. Can you give us a little sausage peek? No not that, I mean a bit of insight into your production process, specifically how you communicate during the recording. Do you ever use hand gestures for nonverbal cues, make use of Zoom chat, or other means of shaping the content besides pure verbal improv? I know you’ll discuss a show beforehand sometimes, but I don’t know much about the when and why of that, either. Thanks!

#RELEASETHELETTER I just finished listening to C1 so The Letter is hot on my mind. Was The Letter on your radar at all when you were on the Stormborn? Is there still a chance that it might be discovered someday?

Do you think something like Collegehumour could ever exist again today? And why not?

Murph/Caldwell, how do you prep for a live show? Some friends and I have been talking about doing a DND-adjacent show at a local improv theater, and was wondering what your prep process is like!

Dream job at 11, 21, and 31 years old?

what's your favourite bad smell?

Murph, what is your favorite color and why is it orange?

Campaign Q: What does y’all’s recording schedule look like in an average month?

Murph, how would you build The Undertaker as a player character? Or any other badass wrestler?

Love the show! My Q is with jake about to go on leave what is the plan for the campaign? Will there be a side story like with Caldwell or something different?

How does Hardwon feel about mothership?

Murph, you played Pillars of Eternity forever ago and I was wondering what you thought of it since you never talked about it again. Eora is a huge inspiration for the setting, afterlife, and pantheon in a lot of my worlds. What is currently influencing Campaign 3?

For everyone: what is your least favorite music genre? For Murph, Em, and Caldwell: When is Jake gonna guest on 8BBC??? For Jake: how ya doin bud

Non-campaign Q: Who of you could survive the longest without water (other drinks are allowed)

Do you guys often catch yourself thinking about retired / older characters you played (with)? Which ones occupy the most brain space?

I miss Hearthside Chats!!! For everyone: Can you guys talk about the things that inspire you and how they inform how you play/dm?

Favorite form of potato to consume?

What's everyone's favorite movie?

Less of a question more of a request: PLEASE TELL US MORE OF THE ORANGE HAT FAIRY

now that our favourite eladrin has fully moved into her winter form. what is all of your favourite seasons?? diff q: we have seen almost all of you dm now. so will we be seeing jake dm anytime soon? or even another caldwell/emily takeover??

Did Murph ever go back to listen to campaign 1 to get ideas for campaign 3 cause Im almost done with my second listen through and there feels like there a ton of foreshadowing

What is the best chore and why is it reorganizing shelves?

Fuck,Marry,Kill: the Band of Boobs!

For Murph: I am about to DM Curse of Strahd for three close friends all relatively new to DnD. They chose the module fully aware of its reputation. I’m very excited to DM for them. However, this group is full of goofballs, plain and simple. What are some tips for occasionally “keeping it light” in a notoriously heavy campaign? For everyone: They are playing a forge cleric, a divine soul sorcerer, and a way of mercy monk. What class would be the best backseat DMPC to help round out the party since the campaign is balanced for at least 4 PCs?

Since Em has had to abstain from parts of the food/drink mixed bags, have you considered doing an Em-centric one like Kombucha’s or mushrooms?

When is Emily going to DM again? I just finished listening to Hot Boy Summer and I need to know where the mon frères are going next!!!

Caldwell, what parenting advice do you want to impart on Jake and also share with other parents out there?

General question for the group: What is the most chaotic and/or evil characters you guys have ever wanted to play. ?

What is the best hamburger & why are everyone else's choices incorrect?

If you were to fuck any type of bread what would it be

If I sent y'all a silly script for a play I wrote based on a dream I had about the four of you, would you all sit down and read it together? (please say yes, I'm desperately searching for the creative inspiration to finish it!)

Campaign question: Do you feel Hardwon will be persuaded to fight Ultris? It's been so cool having him with the duck team Non-campaign question: Have you gotten the lemon dice bag? It supposed to be a pink lemon

For mostly Murph, do you regret not having Moonshine as the current meemaw of the crick? I remember you all discussing during that short rest and Emily saying she was expecting Murph to throw to her during the crick reintroduction.

For everyone: If you could be any class, or combination of classes irl, what would you like to be?

Fire genasi, water genasi, earth genasi, air genasi, what are some other kinds of genasi?

Murph or any of the other DM's , are there any plot points in any of the campaigns that the heroes didnt explore that you were hoping they would? Any major plot shifts that had you rewrite certain parts of the campaign?

Here's a question mainly for John- I mean Jake. Will it be hard going back Calder after playing Jardwon? You seem to be having so much fun. The question for everyone else, do you wish you could play your own characters for a bit? Like Jake is now playing Hardwon?

For Murph amd Jake: was the helm of Ultriss, and its consequences with a failed charge check, discussed beforehand?

Emily, would you consider doing some sort of book review/discussion? I've read a lot of books that I loved because you mentioned them on the podcast, but would love or more in depth thoughts about them. Maybe as something for patreon feed.

You've answered this question from me for campaign 1, but what would your characters do if they couldn't or didnt have to be adventurers? Any jobs or hobbies they'd want to pursue more?

What is a spell or ability that you've always wanted to use but never worked out? Also what's your perfect sandwich?

What is your favorite campaign 3 story twist? Also what's your favorite city to vacation in (worldwide)?

Would swag Daniels ever multi class?? Monks aren't that optimised for multi classing but was there ever a thought in your mind to create a multi class character?

Hey there Centaurs, Turdis's, and everything in between! I just have a quick campfire question to tickle your tastebuds and quench my curiosity, which camping snack is best? (S'mores, beef jerkey, trail mix, etc.)

For everyone: having all lived in California, are you in or out on in-n-out?

ALSO will we be seeing a new d&d movie mixed bag????? 👀

For everyone: Hot dogs or hamburgers? Followup: is a hotdog a sandwich or not? How many houseplants do you think you've killed over your lifetime? Favourite type of non-North American based cuisine? Needles: "No problem, easy-peasy" or "get that f*n thing away from me!"?

Do you think you'll make a Pathfinder 2E one-shot before the end of the year? I loved the characters you made a couple of months ago, and I hope we get to meet them someday.

Question for Murph. What is your issue with goofy and/or fun character names? Anytime a character has a more outlandish name during Dungeon Court you prematurely judge them. Now is your assumption about that character usually correct? Yes, but still who's to say you can't have a fun name and not be an issue at the table.

Got a Murphie here that’s hot and piping. What kind of planning DM are you? Do you have tons of word docs with stuff, notebooks, or something else? What things do you put a lot of planning into more than others?

Do yall like to play any non-RPG table top games?

Hey sweet centaurs. With all the Dungeon court cases on “agency, railroading” and all those other points of contention among player choice and table fun, what would y’all consider the biggest things to NOT do to avoid those accusations getting thrown about?

What has been the most emotional moment of campaign 3 for Murph? Anything that unexpectedly got you choked up?

Would Jake ever be on D20 or Umm, Actually? Either would be awesome and hilarious

For everyone, between Dungeon Court, The Tortle Tank, 8-Bit Bookclub, and these Hearthside Chats, do you all have a favorite Side Content episode type?

I'd love to know if ya'lll have any book recommendations! Love the show and you! ❤️

How did you all come to know one another? Seems like you all have a close relationship pre-NADDPOD and am curious to know more!

What is your favorite kind of Friday night?

Jake, will you let your kid be friends with Caldwell’s child?

mostly a jake question, but anyone can answer if they feel like--if someone did an f1 campaign, what kind of character/class would you play? (personally i think it has the potential for some REALLY DOPE encounter design, but i've yet to actually homebrew anything myself lol)

A question for the whole crew. If there was a dice set to represent you a person, what would it look like?

In the future when onednd gets released, will you switch to that? Or stay with 5e? Would there be a possibility for one shots with onednd and pathfinder 2e in the future?

What does Callie’s sister’s duck look like? What is it’s name? If you could make a cake that looked identical- like literally indistinguishable from the real thing- to ANYTHING, what would it be? (Please come to AZ! I wanna see y’all so badly!)

I absolutely adore the Trinyvale x Bahumia mini arc. What are the chances of the Tripletts crossing over into Eldermourne?

Did y’all go through a “starving artist” phase of life? If so, how did you manage? I don’t know how to justify staying with it when my family is growing but my wages aren’t

A question for the whole gang: What mystical creature do you think represents each one of you the most?

When can us little Naddpoles pick up some sweet dice again?

When someone is shitty and the ruling is "get new friends," how do you do that? In my late thirties and wondering how. [Minor context- broke up with a toxic friend and the friend group fell apart/dormant over the next 2 years. How do my partner and I find a new table, so to speak?]

Y'all have previously talked about some other TTRPG systems, will there be more exploring other games? (And can I suggest bunkers and badasses?)

For Murph: Do you normally come up with a story beat and then design encounters around it, or think of an kind of encounter and then create story around it? (PS, my partner listened to 80 episodes of campaign 1 before the Melbourne live show to catch up and just missed out on the Donkey Kong episode! He was confused but had a great time)

If you could make one choice/change for RPGs at large or for the community/hobby of RPGs what would you choose? Such as, in 5 years Augmented Reality lets people play while seeing themselves as their characters, etc.

What is a TTRPG you haven’t played that you would like to try on the podcast?

Murph, does central jersey actually exist? Sincerely, a north jersey naddpole and central jersey denier

Can u stand on a gas giant like is it solid can I have a 🏠 on there 🤔 can I be in the eye of the storm on juniper and just chill 😎 🤔 just asking.

Y’all kinda joking referenced how Hardwon saw Bev in Sol and Moonshine in Callie with the most recent ep. Do you actually find it hard to avoid falling in the same dynamics that y’all had in the 2 crew (aka scoutmasters)

A challenge for everybody: come up with a character concept for the class you are least interested in playing.

For Jake, (Spoiler) did you have other character ideas before having the plan to play Hardwon again?

Question for Murph, from a fellow (kinda) forever DM. When you plan sessions, how much preparation do you put into the scenery and vibe of a location the 2 crew visits? Do you mostly go off a vibe in your mind? Or do you plan out descriptions on paper for environment. Love the show, drawfee, D20, Josh’s family beard oil company, and Hot Date.

Jake, will we ever get to find out what was in the letter that Hardwon wrote for Moonshine but ultimately was left sealed?

Would Callie know about the halflings that lived in the Fay wild from C1? Do they still exist and what kind of shenanigans are they into??

Did the field transport to a Demi-plane with the crick or is it separate and still on the material plane?

what is the thing that has surprised you the most upon returning to bahumia? what are you still looking forward to getting to see (again or for the first time)? how has the experience been of living and playing in a world touched by your previous characters, as well as directly impacting your current characters?

Have you guys taken the poet, soldier, king quiz? I'd be interested to see what you guys get or even if you take them as your c3 characters.

We need a critter corner update

I was lucky to order a set of the NADDPOD dice! The first roll of the Trinyvale dice was a shout out to the 2 crew. I love how big they are. My question is, what is the ideal dice size?

Whats your favorite onomateopoeia?

Campaign Q: I love the unexpected twists in C3, but I was wondering if you had any hopes or plans on character arcs that got detailed by the story unfolding? Were there any themes or experiences you feel you missed out on? Unrelated Q: What's the best drink on a hot summer day? For you or your characters

Hey Murph, I love the amount of creativity and lore you’ve built in all the worlds you’ve introduced so far. Have you ever considered writing a fantasy/sci-fi book? I would read it in a heartbeat!!!

Murph/Jake, who decided that Cobb would die?

Starting playing Call of Cthulhu for the first time with my group and it was hard to get used to at first but now we are loving it. It satisfies that urge to roll dice all the time. Would you guys ever try a different RPG system?

Choosing one of the NPCs that have been introed in C3, who would you want to play and what class?

What LotR characters are each of you? Only one gets Aragorn. P.s. my trivia team was removed from a 3 way tie when we said “Moria” when asked “What mines did the fellowship travel through before fighting the Balrog?”. We were removed from winnings because we didn’t say”mines of” when “mines of” was in the question. Is this Jeopardy bullshit or am I really salty?

Hey folks! Revisiting the Crick in C3 has been really fun, but if given the chance, is there any specific combat location from C1 you’d also like to fight in as the C3 characters? Like the tower of the watchman or the University in Gladeholm?

First of all, Emily, thanks for admitting you don't like bananas, because I also don't like bananas and I will not elaborate further. Second of all, what are everyone else's potentially controversial food takes? I'll say one other one, I hate most Mac and cheese recipes.

UNRELATED QUESTION- A little library corner! For Emily and Caldwell what has been your favourite book in the Locked Tomb series so far and why?

What do yall think Murph did in a past life to be cursed with such bad rolls constantly? Ps I got a dice at the Melbourne live show from Murph and yes, it rolls like you'd expect it to....🤣🤣

Are there plans for the continuation of Hot Boy Summer (aka Multiverse of Mavrus?)

Howdy 2 Crew. Was wondering if Zinlie the Zard from the Kongo Bongo holiday specials was alive and well during the time of campaign 2? He's a little guy so I'm always rooting for him. Also have any of you ever met a giraffe? Thank you for your time.

I have a group of buddies that wanna get into D&D. We haven’t played before, so no one feels confident DMing. I’ve been chosen as the DM since I’ve listened to this show for so long. Where do I even start? It feels so overwhelming/intimidating.

Hey everyone! Wanted to know where we send the new paint set and pampers for Jake. Have a good one :D
