Seeking Hearthside Questions!

New here so this might've been asked before. I just finished C1 and am currently an emotional wreck. How was it saying goodbye to your C1 characters? Were there any moments where you almost felt yourselves thinking as your old characters or was it a clean transition?

Why didn’t you make Paetina a Blasting Grandma? Or will we see a blasting grandma in the future?

Newly joined the Patreon, so forgive if this has been asked before: How did you all meet each other?

For The Players: How is your C3 character different from any character you've played before personality-wise and build-wise?

What is each member of the duck team going for first at the Critsgiving table? And what are they thankful for this campaign?

For Jake Are you planning on guest starring in an 8 bit book club anytime soon? I think you could bring a lot of bits and goofs with ya

What is your Thanksgiving day like. What are you cooking or doing on Thanksgiving day

What are your thoughts about the changes happening around D&D? One D&D, etc? How will it affect your podcast? Any thought to using a different system?

Hey gang! So we’ve heard that Jake’s fav is Tottenham (so fitting tbh) but what is Emily’s favorite football team?

For all of the dms: how do you go about thinking of premises for your campaigns or one shots. Are they super thought out or closer to divine inspiration

What's some small details that ate important to remember when DM'ing. I'm going to try to DM a friend groups first D&D session.

Short one: I’d love you know the boobs favorite fantasy novels/series!

Hey guys, amir back please? Thank youuuuu.

For Murph, what have been your big movie/book/show inspos for campaign 3? I love the setting so much

Hey guys! I was wondering if you have any guest episodes lined up (perhaps even returning guest from campaign 1)? Not that the show is getting boring but I'm getting a bit sick of that Jim-guy being such a long term guest All jokes aside I absolutely love your show, and I hope you all get to do this for many more years to come. I'm looking forward to your content every week!

For everyone, just for shits and giggles- what are your least favorite thanksgiving and winter holiday foods?what are your favorites? Do you cook anything for winter holidays?

Would love to hear more book/media recommendations from the crew but specifically emily, also you should watch blue eyed samarai if you havent its on netflix also also how do you guys like/rank the Ghibli movies?

Does Sol have big old pearly whites because he's a Moonstone bullywug? I'm very curious about his teeth because the Moonstone bullywug teeth were a very important part of campaign 1.

What are some cool castings for the PCs and NPCs that we’ve seen recently in Campaign 3 for the upcoming live-action NADDPod miniseries?

I really enjoyed your Behind the Screens episodes about Pathfinder 2e, and I'm sure many others did as well. Has there been any serious talks about doing a one shot, or short series based on the system? It seemed you all really enjoyed what you saw of Pathfinder.

Question for everyone: Did having Tuckers wife's best friend play Hardwon again make you excited to revisit your own characters from C1? How much of Moonshines and Beeferly Slowgolds history between C1 and C3 has been fleshed out?

This is a question for the guy that used to work with Amir, They just released news that a new Jason Bourne movie is in the works, are you excited and does this inspire you to make and DM a Jason Bourne one shot?

for the entire two crew: as a pc, what is your favorite class+subclass to play? and as dm’s what are your favorite monsters / little things to throw at your players? much love from georgia <33 (the state)

Hey! Ive been relistening to Eldermourne and was wondering why it was so much shorter than the other campaigns?

*To everyone * In my last DnD session my party and I were in the Feywild and encountered a seemingly powerful fey being (Pleasantry Queen). I know very little about fey so when my character introduced himself and asked for their name the other players all audibly gasped. Turns out giving your name to a fey means they own me now?? I technically gave the fey my PC’s nickname, Theo, instead of his full name but it sounds like I may be f’ed. Is there any hope of Theo getting out of this??

I know that at least Emily and Murph get into video games during the holidays. What's on the gaming menu for y'all this holiday season?

Question for Murph: how do you design the "running" encounters that you do, such as C1 where the players had to run to the earth elementals temple or when the pixies chased the PCs in the feywild. I have a hard time deciding how long stuff like this should be and how to keep it interesting.

For all: How do you decide when it’s a good for a guest star PC to come on the show? (Like Jake.) (Just kidding.) Do you decide narratively or is it more about inviting cool people and their availability?

have there been any characters or plot points in any of the campaigns where youve found it boring/difficult to interact with?

Of all the animal companions the crew has picked up across all of the campaigns, which one do you think would win in a fight? Not to the death, obviously, but Pokemon style. I think bean rat is a contender for sure.

Question for everyone: What is your favorite "stupid" bit, or a bit that didn't really make sense diegetically buy was too funny to let go?

To the whole crew, I loved the Baldurs Gate 3 livestream! Have any of you finished the campaign? If so, who did you romance?

Question for the great DM on High Murph, when you see the players do something that could potentially have dark consequences or could make the campaign take a dark turn based on the plans you have for the plot, do you rework your plans to try to keep the campaign more light hearted, or do you let it go where the dice and decisions lead? Like Gemma’s death but on a larger scale.

Murph, Emily, Caldwell, have you ever asked Jake to make a mini for a game you’re in? As either a pc or a dm.

I noticed you don’t say the address of the PO Box anymore. It was such a routine thing to hear and now I hear it playing in my head but you don’t say it lol. Do you still accept fan love to your PO Box?

For Murph, All I know about WWE come from what you’ve talked about on the pod. Are there any fight set up or character you want to incorporate in the future? Like the set up for the jolly jester match for example

Hey everyone, This question is for BIIIIIIGGGGG OOOOOLE’ BRIAN, how much is left on the cutting room floor once you put together an episode, and would there ever be a chance of having a “directors cut” episode on Patreon? ps, thank you all for everything, even you John.

Hi all, I have a bit of a general/life question. I recently turned 24, which I know isn't actually that old, but nevertheless I've still been hurdling straight towards a quarter life crisis. Emily has recently been talking about how she wouldn't want to go back to any age she's been and that every year gets better and better - could you expand on that? I'd love to hear any wisdom you have to share. Thank you and Love from Germany <3

I've been engaged to my fiance for a couple years now and was wondering if I should just call it off and leave her. We have almost too much in common, it's like dating myself sometimes. The only time I know she's real is when I get slippery on the ol water slide and put a hole in the trusty water bed. I'll leave the choice up to your guys, just yay or nay (joking obviously, just wanted to see if this gets brought up)

Question for Emily! You've talked about really liking/wanting that 2-bit, fake-ish quality in the soundtrack, so how did it feel to listen to your songs played on real instruments at Carnegie? Thanks!

Release the Letter!

Hi! My partner and I discussed the other day that we had different images in our minds eye for the type of duck Foster is! What does the gang picture for Foster??

What would Sol, Callie, and Calder’s favorite thanksgiving dishes be? I imagine Sol is a cherry pie guy, Callie a honey roasted ham, and Calder lovin some mashed potatoes and gravy!

Not a question just big love, brotha

The different crews are hosting Thanksgiving, what are they serving and wish crew's Thanksgiving are you going to.

This is a question for everyone, what games/shows are you currently exploring in your free time? There's been so many good games and anime out recently and I'm curious as to what my favorite heroes like 😁

*For Anyone to Answer* Been keeping up with NADDPOD for sometime, what are your character building philosophies when it come time to make a new character? Emily mentioned on a CR's 4-Sided Dive that she will think of some insane move that might be fun to play as an example. Do all of you have a weird way of coming up with characters or it more of an in the moment thing?

To Everyone (including Murph): How dense are the notes in your notebooks? How coherent are they?

Any good video game or book recs lately? Coming up on winter break and need some new stuff! Just read the murderbot series

Hey guys i dont know if it was on purpose but did u realize that hardwon received his hammer in the same episode Number as in Campaign 1

Hey folks! What is your worst thanksgiving/ holiday blunder (I’m looking at you spill boy)

For the DM's, when does a location feel ready and prepped? what sorts of things do you like to prepare for a location?

Hey Emily (and whomever may play with you) how do you feel about Fortnites OG season? I've been playing since chapter 2 season 2 and I feel it's a bit lack luster minus the return is some items. Hope to play one day ~Lorelei the Succi

Finally got to see you all live in Orlando and had a fantastic time. Curious if you got to enjoy any of the local theme parks while you were here? And do you have any interesting tour stories from this most recent run of shows?

For all, what drew you to play D&D and what was your first experience?

For Emily and Caldwell, what do you think Moonshine (and paw paw) and Bev have been up to on the Astral Plane? What is a conversation or encounter you wish they could have with Duck Team in the current campaign?

If you could turn any combat encounter from NADDPOD into a Rick Perry style miniature battle set what would it be?

Have you guys been listening to worlds beyond number? And if you were ever to guest star what kind of character would u play? Love the show!

How many episodes do you guys think C3 will go for? I remember back in C1 it was around episode 70ish when Murph started talking about going to 100. Do you plan to do something like that or just let the campaign take it’s natural course with the amount of episodes it needs rather then a hard ceiling? As a follow up do you think the next campaign will be set in Eldermourne or maybe a new setting? Could the myths and legends of Jake DMing his own low fantasy campaign be realized?! I hope Tucker approves. I’m beyond thankful for the years of content you guys have blessed us all with and I wish you happy holidays! With love from, the DnD Court Janitor PS, I think Josh the Intern Bailiff forgot my holiday tip this year.

Have you guys thought about inviting Ally Beardsley to a few sessions? I know they were in a D&D court but they are the only member of the original Dimension 20 cast who hasn’t been in a campaign on NADDPOD. (Shoutout to the Wifeworm, Sweet Blue Hole, and the Rat that went to the Astral Plane with Hardwon)

Jake, have you gotten into cake yet or are you still considering it?

do you think your characters would be friends (for example, would moonshine be friends with fia?)/do you think you would be friends with your characters?

Tub Brisket one shot when???????

This campaign so far has been a hell of an emotional roller coaster a lot of laughs, a fair few tears and a moral quandary or two, especially hardwons short time back, I genuinely believed at one point that hardwon would die getting Calder bac, or the revelation of what happened to Callies mum. As the campaign goes on the better it gets.... So my question for everyone is this, with all of you guys showing your incredible range of acting skills and not just comedy, fuck/marry/kill each of your own three campaign characters? (Eg Caldwell - bev, zirk, sol)

Hey gang! Long time listener, first time inquirer! (Feels like writing to old friends) One thing I love about your podcast is all of the awesome characters you've created and played! But, do you have any character alignments, races, or classes that you feel you couldn't, or simply wouldn't want to play? I feel like you can learn a lot about someone based on the characters they play in D&D, so maybe avoided characters/characteristics could speak in similar volumes. With thanks and love, Sedona

For everyone - What is your go-to dessert you grab during the holidays?

This is for Murph specifically: First of all I'd like to say I love the time and thought put into the names and world building this season, I think it really enhances the overall world of Bahumia. That being said, is there a reason Gromdall Bronzebeard sounds like a DuckTales villain? Is it just that the vibe of Duck Team really hit you hard? Thanks Josh

This isn’t directly related to the campaign but Emily would you consider making another album? I absolutely love doomsday diaries!

Have there even been times your character has gone a direction in the moment that felt very organic and natural but you as the player weren’t sure about it?

Q for Emily - do you have plans to release any of the music from C3? (And if not, could you be persuaded to??? lol) It's so good!! Much love to the whole 2 crew :)

FOR EMILY - if you had to choose one piece of music you've composed to represent each of your cats which ones would you pick?

What has been your favorite setting so far in C3?

Have yall played baulders gate 3 yet (for jade: it's a video game) if not what are yall currently playing?

If you were ever to run a module with this group what module would it be?

What is your favorite bit/goof that did not make the cut into an episode

I know y’all have so many already but Is there a chance of guest PC’s this szn?

Not really a question, just an overall praise and thank you to everything y'all do! It was an outright pleasure meeting you guys after your phenomenal show in Portland last month. Keep making absolutely solid content. I don't know what I'd do without the 2 Crew keeping it loose and keeping it light. Thanks so much Jake, Caldwell, Emily, and Murph. You're a true inspiration to us lowly lil' Naddpoles.

murph how the hell do you spell riaris

So hear me out. Imagine D20, right? With the dome and the minis and what not. But who’s the DM? Emily flippin AXFORD, that’s who! And guess what? It’s hot boy summer, baby! Murph, Caldwell, Jake and Zac is at it again folks. But this time they also got Brennan ”The Bird” Mulligan and Lou ”Wait for it” Wilson bringing up the rear to round out this hot new season of hot new boys. 6 sweet, juicy eps, that’s all I’m asking for. Dip into Dropout, oh and what’s that? Double dip into NADDPOD patreon (use promocode Hungry Dave for 10% off your first month sub(what a DEAL)) and then TRIPPLE dip into the NADDPOD Youtube. So how about it?

To any DM. Have you ever gotten to a point in world building in an active campaign where you were dissatisfied with the current state. Whether that is not liking the physical locations, the political structure, etc. How did you handle it while still dming in that world? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone! I was wondering when y'all might come over to little ol' Buffalo for a live show? The Bills just come up too often to not make an appearance. Upstate NY has a ton of love for the 2 crew and, who knows, you might even get to see the mighty Josh Allen.

FOR EVERYONE! If you had to have one of your PCs (NPCs for Murph) as a roommate, who would it be and why?

A few months ago you guys talked about checking out Pathfinder 2e, and you seemed to really dig it. Did you guys ever experiment with the system?

What do your character sheets look like?

Emily- Doomsday Diaries part 2?! I need it please! All- what music or podcasts did you really enjoy this year? Anything you’d call your personal soundtrack to 2023?

Question for everyone. What was everyone's favorite moment from any campaign? P.S my girlfriend and I had a blast seeing you guys in Portland!

How has a baby managed to type this? I need answers

Hi sweeties! I’m curious, since you all have done/continue to do more mainstream writing, acting, etc… how has doing so much storytelling via dice and improvisation in podcast form changed or informed the work you do (or want to do) in the more traditional art/media space?

Hi Caldwell, huge fan of Trinyvale. Have you ever thought about running a new side campaign for the podcast?

I'm amazed by how well you all can stick to and remember character voices. It really speaks to your professional prowess! As a virtual DM, i want to be able to give more of that immersive auditory experience to my players, but I have trouble thinking up and maintaining different voices. Also, our campaign is supposed to be set in on, secluded place, so there is little room for accent variation in that sense. Do you have any tips on how to hone those skills, differentiate character voices, and keep track of how each NPC should be speaking? Thanks!

Up to how many horse sized ducks would you prefer to fight over one duck sized horse??

For the excellent hosts and I guess Jake is also there, what’s the wettest food you’ve ever eaten?

would you rather it always be day or always be night?

what class or subclass (that you have never played before) do you want to try out the most?

Just wanted to put it out that you guys missed out on calling the New Orleans show 2 Orleans :) Regardless, MURPH LOVES PISS thank you and goodnight

I'm sure all the music nerds in the crowd would love to hear more about Emily's music-making process! Do you listen to certain bits of episodes to get the "vibe" for a song you're trying to write? I'm also curious about what software you use as I'd love to try writing the same sort of cinematic music.

For our lovely dms (and Jake I guess): When conceiving one-shots and preparing for the main campaigns how do you decide how challenging the encounters should be? Do you first decide your players level and adjust for that or do you create the encounters and suggest the players level from there. I’ve had some difficult times trying to decide how I should approach it.

Whose idea was it to create the foster dice bag? and when can I give them a consensual high five as soon as possible bc this shit rocks

For Murph: Ultris lore question. We know that Ultris was imprisoned in the helm by ‘Green Knights from Galaderon’ after the giant war prior to C1, but was back leading the giants by the time the Boobs got to Frostwind. Did he then subsequently get his shit wrecked by Akarot’s Tarrasque (and maybe his vested gargoyle form) since we saw undead/hollow giants in the attack on Frostwind?

For all: Do y’all think you’d ever do a Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) mixed bag? Would love to hear your thoughts (especially Murph’s) on how it compares to the original one from 2000

For Murph: How much time total (on average) is edited out of each session?

For Emily: Your character names always have such cool and subtle references (Petrichor for your rainy day eladrin, Cybin for your circle of spores druid). What are some of your favorite names you've made this way and what's your process like making them? Is Wikipedia your first stop? Do you get an idea for a cool name and build a character around it, or do you come up with a character concept and then search for a name?

For all: Can you give a shoutout to my DM Carissa? She rocks and we love her.

For all: Would you ever consider making your own Pick-Your-Path adventure?

For all (cronchy question): What's one feature/ability you've found yourself surpised by this season? / What's one feature/ability you've found yourself leaning on this season?

I want to enfuse some comedy into an otherwise dark and serious campaign. Your style of comedy works so well because you're all great improvisers but do you have any advice on getting players comfortable with switching between serious and light-hearted moments in game?

For all: What's the most fun moment you've had playing?

How easy or hard has it been keeping a balance of campaign 1 elements appearing in campaign 3

If you were a wrestler, what would your name and signature move be, and what would be your gimmick?

For all: what are some character ideas you had that you have thrown away because it either didn’t fit you or didn’t fit the campaign?

For Emily - how has the process for writing music changed from campaign 1 to campaign 3. Are you calling most of the shots for the music or do any of the guys help at all?

Up front I just want to say thank you for all the wonderful content it keeps custodians like me entertained while working. First question for all: Are we going to see any Pathfinder 2e? All the characters make during the 2 eps we got were so interesting I'd love to see more of them. Second question for Jake: Has Rune Knight ever crossed your mind for Kalder? As he is a Giant and the class is all about using Giant magic I think it would make for some kick as shots of Kalder using Giant Runes to Enlarge himself as womp some bad guys. Keep up the amazing work, love from West Virginia!

For Murph - if you haven't been asked this before, what are some of your principles/goals when making combat encounters? I always love how varied and 3D they feel, especially in theatre of the mind gameplay, which is such a hard thing to accomplish and you do it so well!

In preparation for the festive season, what are Duck Team getting each other for Christmas?

Good morrow ya cozy podcasters! I want to ask Jake a question but I would also love to hear everybody’s answer: Jake, you played a druid in the Headgum one shot, a bard in hot boy, and now an eldritch knight. Are you getting comfy with spellcasters now?

Given Jake's prowess in martial characters. What paladin would he like to be if that ever comes about?

Hey guys! I always love your characters, but what is the best/most fulfilling part of role playing the characters for y’all? (ps just kidding, hate the show and never played dnd)

Are yall interested in doing a Dungeon Court in Phoenix Az?

Are there characters who are based around gimics/themes you guys have thought of and haven't played yet?

If campaign 1 was turned into a live action movie, who would you want to play the Band of Boobs?

What suggestions would you have for increasing engagement at the table for people who are uncomfortable role-playing?

In relistening to Trinyvale short rest you talked about the idea of a city residency doing different types of shows over multiple nights. Is this something you are still interested in? (And can the city be Melbourne Australia!)

Expanding the critter update to include human children. So, kids of all persuasions.

What’s everyone in Ezra doing for work after Duck Team crashed the biggest employer into the lake? How’s the local economy coping?

Something that I have found that I adore over the past few years is themed cookbooks. Are there any plans/thoughts of one being released in the future? If so, would you be open to fan submission recipes?

Hey everyone! And also Jake I guess. I know Murph is a fan of pro wreslting and we've had some references and maybe a match here and there throughout the campaigns. I believe you guys could create some awesome wreslting characters. So my question Have you ever considered trying the World Wide Wreslting TTRPG and would you consider posting an Episode? Thanks and I hope you roll many nat 20s!

I’m sorry if this has been asked. How would the Third Mates and the Triplets react to working for Mothership/Alexandrite? How has your New Years Resolution coming along?

Would it be possible to give us an in depth critter country update? Also, which group do you guys enjoy plying more? At this point we have the boobs, triplets, bonfreres, choo choo crew, tub brisket team(no official name), and now duck team. What aspects of each group do you like the most?

All time favorite present received?

How do you think each of your characters celebrates Cricksmas? Also if they had day jobs what would they be?

Hi, when can we expect a Montreal live show? Poutine's on me!

Holiday/Hallmark movie season is nigh! Given their optimism, winter aesthetic, and ocassional bad exes, the members of Duck Team (recently including Kenna/Rearis/Jaina) are each primed to be main characters in their own cozy romcoms- what's the plot of your character's chill trope-fest? (E.g. who's getting trapped in a snow globe? Leaving the Big City to save a charming and impactful small business? Becoming a baker, ranchhand, or barista? Dating Santa? Falling in love with an old friend or ghost? Recieving a magical advent calendar? Saving a Christmas tree farm?)

Hello, I would love to hear the Crew compare and contrast their first/third characters (since both in Bahumia). How much have they learned? anything they miss?

How good do you guys think spirited away is? Because I think it might be the best animated film I’ve ever seen

Now that Cali and Calder are together again, and on their way to meet Calder’s family so they intend to sit down and have a “what are we and am how should I introduce you to my family?” Conversation. How does Sol feel about this relationship. What were the off screen conversations like regarding this romance and past romances in naddpod history. Are there any romances that could have been or still could be that the cast is excited or terrified for?

Murph, how do you overcome writer's block for new arcs of the campaign? I can imagine it must be stressful to constantly have to come up with new and exciting content - how do you re-kindle your spark of imagination? Love y'all and the pod!!

How you decide who is going to DM at which live show? Both times I’ve seen you guys live Caldwell DMed and I was wondering if it was a southern thing or just the luck of the draw :)

Q for everyone. What food would each member of Duck Team be? This is inclusive of Foster, Kenna, and OBVIOUSLY Rinaris

How do you balance running a game for your wife? How often does Emily know your tells of what is going to happen before it is revealed?

What are y'all's favorite type of dice to roll material wise? (Metal, wood, plastic, resin, stone ECT.)

Q for you, growing up did you ever think you would have a professional dnd podcast? How do you think highschool you would react if they learned about their future?

In your live shows, why don’t you have the venue play Emily’s music before the show? Also, inspired by Jake’s actions in Florida, why don’t you all wear English style wigs?

Wrestling Question to hopefully make Murphy happy: Which allies would Duck Team add to their Trio to form a 5 Person Survivor Series Team (where Teams of 5 Strive to Survive) and which wrestlers should be on the opposing team?

If you were going to have all of the PC characters meet in a Hunger Games style battle royale, who would come out on top? Let's say they were level 15, so no access to 7th level spells.

For Daddy Murphy: how do you decide to bridge your arcs? And how do you decide what kind of baddies to put the Boobs against?

Would you guys ever make and play a completely homebrew class or subclass for a campaign? Murph and Caldwell have both made their own subclasses with the Guardian Fighter and the Jampion Ranger. Both are very fun and I’d love to see what else everyone could cook up!

Seeing as Emily is a worm wife what insectlike critter of a husband is Murph? Serious answers only, please

Two questions for everyone: 1. What is your favorite thing about your c3 characters (or DMPC’s) that characters you’ve played in the past didn’t have? Abilities, class features (or subclass features for Jake), magic items, etc. 2. If you ran a mini-campaign playing as Licorice, Honeysuckle, and Foster, who would play which animal friend, and what class would you pick for each of them? (Prediction: Caldwell will call dibs on Foster)

Question for Murph: will there ever be a Bahumia sourcebook so that us folks can run games in this amazing universe? Also why do my legs hurt all the time?

what are some of your favorite holiday traditions you have around this time of year?

for the Axfurphy household: how do you all divide up food space for your allergies/different food choices? Murph clearly loves a gluten and Emily clearly can’t do a gluten. I too have annoying can’t do’s so I’m curious how your fridge looks

What are your favorite types of fanart/fan creations, or what would be some you would like?

Question for everyone but Murph: do you feel like you know more than you did before about professional wrestling after doing the 8bbc WWE stories? And are you interested in the sport now? I am starting to get videos on tiktok about it and it might become my new obsession.

What is the class/subclass/multiclass you guys want to see another member of the crew play?

If you choose a party of 3 existing PCs from any of the campaigns including guests who would your party of three be ? PS. There is no criteria for Choosing the party

Question for Emily: You do an amazing job on the music for the show and i would like to know a little about your process. How do you know what moods to write for, what do you use as inspirations/start points, the different kinds of instrumentation? Would you have any tips for someone looking to make a handful of tracks for a home game theyve been planning?

Where has been the most interesting place to perform a live show? Do you have any crazy stories from being on tour? Ps I was at both Denver live shows, happy 5th anniversary two crew!!

Question for Emily: If you were to become a cartoon character why would you choose to become Rock Lee?

Murphy: Any other settings or realms you'd want to DM an adventure in? All: If you could pick an NPC to be your playable character from any campaign, who would it be and why?

From all the campaigns, what are your top 3 favorite character moments or moments in the story?

Dumbest question (bold claim, I know) - Rotisserie Chicken Competition when? I’m team Murph all the way but would be amused if I was proven wrong. Unlikely, but still. Much love and well wishes from myself and my cats (Portland, Star, and Berlin)

Have you looked into some of the OneDND stuff? If so what do you think. I personally am not a massive fan of the new crit rules or the new warlock but there's some cool stuff.

Sure this has probably been asked but there are new classes appearing all the time so - if you could have the powers of a DnD class in real life which would it be (assume you start at level 1 and level up over the course of a decade)

Are you guys still planning a pf2e one shot?

I have one question: Are you Milwaukin’ here?

Greetings Lazy Louie, Heroic Huey, and Blue Nephew aka Champ Popular! Question for Caldwell: if each player in Campaign 3 had a familiar, what animal would most suit them? Question for everyone else: Why is Caldwell wrong? Cheers from Toronto <3 Kevin

First off, love y’all!! Long time listener first time asker, how did y’all form the podcast, what brought y’all together?

Hey there Nadpod, first time asking a question, I was wondering if there were any plans for a mini campaign/ one-shot about what has/ is currently happening with Moonshine and Beverly in the astral plane, or will that be left on the shelf until further notice? Thanks guys, loving the show!

Also follow up to the rotisserie chicken debate: I think if you each have a scale and a similarly sized chicken, it’s a race to eat 80% of the weight of each chicken that way you can avoid the argument of what constitutes a finished chicken! #teamJake

When might we see some guest appearances in C3? Personally I’d love another Brennan or Lou appearance.

What were some of your favorite moments from the recent Tours?

I'm curious if, other than the D&d content that you guys make and collaborate with, if you guys watch or listen to any other d&d shows? Also if you guys are doing any guest spots soon? 😜

This will 1. Go unread and 2. Be stupid but I would love to se a crossover with my number 1 podcast (naddpod) and my number 2 podcast just roll with it. If this gets red I will scream and if it hapens I will cry. Also if it changes anything I'm a first time asker

Are we going to get any more guest appearances?? LOVED all the dimension 20 guests in campaign 1.

Your settings rule, so I have a planes question for the group: After the One Hells/Ruby Dawn, Shadowfell, the Party Plane, Twilight Sanctorum, etc- is there any plane you want to tweak from its usual DnD version or a new one you'd create?

Are we going to see any more DMing by the non-murphy members of the pod? Trinnyvale and Hotboy summer were awesome, and how is Jake's DMing experiments going?

For everyone: If you could create an epic tale of the origins of "Sweet Blue Hole" (to replace how it... evolved), what would it be?

Question for the DMs: I struggle to adapt on the fly to combat encounters where the party is either whomping my baddies or getting whomped themselves - do you have any tips on adjusting damage/enemy stats to balance things mid-combat? And how do you know when it’s time to just wrap an encounter up?

Jake, I've recently gotten into mini-painting as a hobby. Any recommendations for brushes, lights, minis, magnifying glasses, etc?

Murph, what is your process for building stat blocks for NPCs who accompany the party? As an example how did you build, Kenna?

I was at the Orlando live show. Whose dog was that?

A question for all: All of you have created, played, and experienced multiple characters throughout the years. Are there any you look back on and think, "I don't think their story is quite done yet?" Or any you are itching to dust off the shelf just because?

When were you most afraid of dying as a PC/killing them as a DM.

Long time listener, first time caller! Emily: rumor has it you create 5 year plans for your characters and have incredibly fleshed out backstories. What’s a favorite “5 year goal” one of your characters has created, and how did that goal change from the pre-play plan to when the one-shot or campaign was over? Also, any chance we can get a deep dive into your character creation process one day? Mixed bag??

Need Critter updates!!! 🐈

Are we going to hear any of our non core friends join us in Bahumia again? Siobhan, Lou, Zach, Allie, BRENNAN?!

Hey beautiful people. Question for Murph. In the dragon elf chronicles there was a way for the party to travel via underground networks. I got real Gargan Roo vibes from Final Fantasy 9. Was that an inspiration?

Looking back on the three campaigns what was everyones most memorable moment.

Jake, if you were to DM a campaign or one shot for the Two Crew, what kind of game do you think you would run?

The 5th anniversary at Carnegie was great. Any ideas for where to have the 10th anniversary?

What have been the biggest changes or surprises for each of you over the past year, and what are you most looking forward to in the coming year?

Question for Emily: Do you have a favorite fantasy series or fantasy genre to read? I keep wanting to throw recommendations your way but don't wanna pitch something you'd hate (also, for all, you guys should bring the court to Kansas City! (bailiff cake included))

Just relistened to last year's Hoglidaze Q&A and I gotta know - has Emily finally watched Die Hard?

Emily, would you consider releasing more of the campaign music / soundtracks on your Spotify? They’re awesome to listen to and put into playlists!

To all of the boobs, what was your favorite part about touring this year? Any major highlights?

Question for the cat family Our family took in a stray kitten two years ago and we all love her very much but there's a debate on who's cat she is. Our 10 year old son wanted to keep her and says she's his cat but she cuddles me a lot and loves to perch across my shoulders, I treat her like she's my familiar. As a father should I let it go or is my son right in saying the cat is his?

I have what I'm calling a Jake and Ansir. Each of your characters has such a distinct personality. Hardwon the jumbo, Hank the loser with a heart of gold, and Caldur the strait man. How does this come about for you? Do you try to set a pace and direction for them or just play off everyone else and find where the journey takes you?

Caldwell - what would be one thing that we have in this world that would send Bev into a coma?

Any plans for eldermorne part 2? One shots or campaigns after ba2humia? I’m dying to see more goth stories from yall 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ Also just love Fia (named my cat after her :3)

Hello! Saw this question a bit but I’m adding an addition. What books have ya’ll read this year that you really enjoyed? What books have inspired your characters (for all campaigns or just C3)? I just finished listening to all of 8 Bit Book Club and I couldn’t believe how many names I recognized from C1 😂 Saw the Madison and Milwaukee live shows and you guys were awesome!

Question for Jake: When will we get to hear Jake DM a one-shot or campaign? That is some beautiful chaos we all need in our lives. Bonus question for all: If the Trinyvale Trio sat down for a game of D&D, what classes would they each choose to build?

I’m not sure how you guys determine where to go for live shows but any plans to come Kansas City?

Are you ever doing a Europe tour or going back to the UK to do some shows?

If each person in the 2 crew was asked to do a solo podcast (for headhunter of course!) , what would it be about?

Question master John, when are you DMing & what classes do you hope the three boobs would play?

Murph, Caldwell, and DMily, can you tell us about a time when your improvisation as a DM backfired? How do you stay light on your feet while also maintaining the world's continuity and tone?

Been listening for years but never actually played. My wife got me the starter set for my birthday (I’m 37 🙃) and have been running small encounters for my 6-year old. My question is how do you keep track of everything? I’m trying to keep notes but i feel like there’s so much info I constantly am getting lost. Do any of you have any note taking conventions you can share?

To Jake, now that you’re back as Caldur, what’s the funnest part about playing him again? Either in role play or mechanics. What do you miss about playing Hardwon?

Emily, your play is so inspired and mechanically amazing! Do you have any insight info how you approach playing characters?

What professional D&D player inspires you/is your favorite to watch?

Is there a possibility of Ol Guppy merch in the future? I'd love to show my support for this kind bartender and his wife that have a robust sex life.

What are things that the characters for this campaign offer you that you haven't gotten before? What new itches are they scratching?

Naddpod sourcebook when?

Question for all: with how much you guys have done with dnd 5e, have you ever considered other systems outside of fantasy settings? I really dug your pathfinder rule read, and am curious how you guys would take to games like Call of Cthluhu or Vampire: The Masquerade

Does Caldwell still have that Adam Driver doll?

To Emily: as a fellow tea lover, I’m curious what kinds of tea have you been drinking during the podcast? (The pouring isn’t that disruptive, Murph, I promise!) To the group: what are your favorite cozy Autumn/Winter food and drinks? PS Thank you for all that you do. Your podcast has helped me through some otherwise very tough times. Happy Thanksgiving, and happy holidays! ❤️

Are there any aspects of your characters (or NPCs/world building) that you find challenging to convey in this medium? If so, what are they?

What holiday (Earth-based or Bahumia-based) do you think your characters like the best? Has their opinion shifted after meeting the party and going on their current adventure? For Murph, what is the most popular holiday in Bahumia? Did this change between C1 to C3?

Question for Emily — have you read Thistlefoot yet? (It’s about a brother and sister who inherit Baba Yaga’s hut)

Thank you souch for coming to Court Law-derdale, you all put on an excellent show! Do you have any fun or crazy stories from the tour you just wrapped up?

How much content do you think you cut to make your episodes always sound so exciting? I try to keep the energy up in my sessions to keep it going but sometimes the math shows these things down

Saw that y’all tried Culver’s when you were in the Midwest, how does it rank compared to other fast food you’ve had? As a Minnesotan, it’s my favorite! PS, Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas Mixed Bag when? 😜

What would your PC's title their memoir? (any PC from any campaign)

What are your favorite little things to plan for characters to help fill them out and make them real to you? Also Emily, I began journaling as one of my first characters and it was so helpful for thinking about her emotions about events!!

Hi all! I was sad to have missed you all in New Orleans but I am happy every time you shout out Louisiana. My question is about the Ren Faire! I know on a past short rest only Caldwell had gone to one, and I was wondering as this is the season will you be going to a Ren Fair this year? Or if you have gone to one, how was your experience?

You've all had the chance to travel a lot wiht NADDPOD and other work, where's have you NOT been that you'd like to travel to?

What’s your Dnd origin story? What made you get into playing Dnd? Mine is that I loved listening to you guys so much that had to have so much do I had to try it it out

Q for everyone: Hi guys! As you all play theatre of the mind do you have any little talismans or trinkets you use to use to ground you in specific characters since you don't use minis? Jake - do you find seeing your finished minis helps you connect to characters more (they're awesome btw!)

Q for DMs. what is your organization like for DM notes and behind your DM screen. how do you keep all the prep and world building that you do easily accessible and organized for yourself and do you write and prep all at once or more randomly throughout your days

Thanks for answering my pancakes, waffles, French toast question last time! Here’s a new one: Rank them! Latin American food, European Food, Asian food!

Hi Murph, and Emily. Weird question, but any chance of getting Justice Smith on the podcast for a Dungeon Court? With you having done voices on the same project "The Quarry" it would make tio much sense.

Are there any plans to further explore the Multiverse of Mavrus? Love love love that series and Emily’s DMing

Is there any chance that we will see a Band of Boobs astral planar adventure special? Or is there any chance Duck team could meet the entire band of boobs and of so, would everyone be playing both characters? Fuck you I love you, eat a rat. - David

Are we any close to the fabled low fantasy 'A Song of Ice and Fire'-esque Jake DM'ed game.

Will continuously be asking: are there any plans to get guests on the main campaign more consistently? Re-listening to Campaign 1 and the Hexbuds makes me miss our guests

Favorite media consumed this year? Books, movies, shows, music, etc

Something I have always wanted to know was how did you guys all become friends! You are so close now, what’s the origin for Emily and Brian dating and how did the four of you get to be best buds? Much love for NADDPD

What will become of the queenshammer with Ultrus inside of it? Since it was able to be combined to make the completed hammer, will there be possibility of it being corrupted in the future?

Best Thanksgiving side dish?

For Jake: How far have you gotten in Animorphs? That Wiki Wander was a while ago, you must be getting close to The Sacrifice

If you were making yourself as a dnd character, what would be an aspect of your build?

Which character of any campaign has been the least like yourself? Does Caldwell have any new spill stories?!

Do you have any plans to return to Eldermourne? I've always loved the Third Mates, and listened to it when beginning my transition where I fell in love with the name Fia, and there's so much of that world we've yet to see. I'd love to see even a one shot with those absolute maniacs and their jean shorts again

When are you going to watch the third dungeons and dragons movie? I need more murph gaslighting

We're entering cozy cocoon season- what are some video games you'd recommend to pass the time?

Who would be the actors/celebrities that you would want to play your characters in a film version of the campaign? Thanks y’all!!

For my anime enjoyers: what’s your pick or top 3 of the year?

For Emily: would love to hear about how it’s been writing the music for this campaign! Also, I know sometimes music is reused, so how do you decide when new music is needed? Been loving it all!

Q for Caldwell! Monk has been one of my favorite classes though I’ve found it to be a bit underpowered in combat at early levels. As the only member of the two crew who didn’t get a chance to play a monk in campaign 2, has playing one in campaign 3 been all you’ve hoped it to be?

Q for Jake. When are you going to grab life by the horns and run a one shot for the group!? Also what do you think the group name would be (two crew, trinyville triplets, etc) Even if your a fighter for ever we will never stop listening 🧡

i would love to hear a movie/tv/book/video game roundup for 2023! what are you favorites of this year and what would you recommend? also shoutout from my cat tesla (not named after the car company) who loves to listen to the pod while i pet him

How big?

Q for Murph, the worm-husband! You introduce such cool mini-game mechanics into the world, like when people are betting on horses or playing cards - what inspires you to build them, and what advice do you have for a GM looking to include more in her world? :)

In the main campaign, we haven't had a guest appearance since the finale of C2, and a guest arc since the near beginning of C2. Can we expect this to change anytime soon?

Q for everyone! If you could drop your c3 characters into any other world or setting, what would you pick? ex: Callie exploring Hyrule, Kenna in Middle Earth, etc.

How do you guys get inspiration for characters or for your campaign ideas? I’m at college for acting and struggling to make characters that aren’t just in existence so I can practice the skills I need to work on for straight up school — unless y’all like to do that too, which in that case I’m totally there with you

Mostly for Emily but if anyone else has an answer that would be awesome, too: Any new cursed/broken multiclass builds a la the Coffelock? I always love hearing the creative builds you come up with.

How would you feel if someone ran a campaign in one of the settings you created, or wanted to play a character you created (whether as an NPC or a player character)? I've found that a lot of my inspiration for worldbuilding and creating PCs comes from the pod and other dnd actual plays, or even take something as a whole, so I wanted to ask if that's something that makes you feel uncomfortable if another person did it/general thoughts on the subject.

Have any of you been playing BG3? (And if so, has Emily completely broken the game?)

Question for Murph: As someone also originally from New Jersey that has on and off thought about getting a NJ themed tattoo…what made you decide to finally do it? And for the whole crew: have any of you considered getting a Naddpod related tattoo?

Happy happy hearthside! To all the boobs, what does running a dnd podcast entail, what’s all the work behind the scenes that we don’t see? Like scheduling, editing, traveling? What’s the best and worst part about your jobs?

What is your favorite thing about the holiday season and do you think it is different now from what you would've said ten years ago?

Happy hearthside you mad lads! Jake, in your grand tour of the fighter class, how do you think you'll play the samurai subclass? It's not a class that I've seen many people play, so I'm curious how you'd approach it.

Question for the crew (not asking for this bc ik it’s a lot) but if you could snap your fingers and have an animated show which campaign would you want to see animated the most and what sort of art style would you want it to be in?( examples anime, more cartoon like )

Question for everyone: When playing a new character with an accent or voice you haven't done previously, how do you prepare?

What advice would you give to someone looking for a group to play D&D with? Or how can someone go about trying to find a good group of people to play D&D with? Thanks!

Hey, folks! I have a few questions on different topics that I will put on the same message, but feel free to answer any number of them that seem interesting 🙂 - C3 has been a blast so far, but on thing I've noticed is that we have not had a guest appearance in a while. I remember that before it was a challenge because of the pandemic and scheduling, but how are you folks feeling about it now? - You seem to have found a good balance of alternating an episode week and one dungeon court/adventure book theatre week. How are you feeling about the scheduling of the podcast? Are you happy with this cadence or are you planning on new experiments? - Will we ever see the return of the owlbear cave/tortle tank? Do you guys have any new ideas for "variety show D&D" like Spellcheck? - For Jake: Congrats on being a dad! I have been wondering about the connection you made for the name Gemma. Was it a name you always liked and sent to Murph when building out Hardwon? Did you decide on the name after the campaign? Thanks!

Whats one thing you feel grateful for about each of you? I.E. Caldwell is grateful for Emily because she’s nearly always the first to “yes and” Caldwell’s left field jokes.

Is it possible whenever the duck team gets to the fey wild they might see a certain halfing who reeks of tuna and bud heavy?

Q for Murph: Are you planning on having any guests in C3?

Which of your PCs would you most like to party with? Marry? Co-parent with? Have for a 5th grade teacher? Hire to put a addition on your house? Speak at your wedding? Be snowed in to a primitive cabin with for ten days? Speak at your funeral?

Is there a thematic setting you want to explore but haven't yet?

Would you guys ever make a Naddpod art or coloring book? I have a vision in my head of coloring a page while sipping tea and listening to the pod, I need this dream to come true!

Just listened the the Nixed Bag on the D&D movie (2000). What did y’all think of the new D&D movie?

Jake: Thoughts on the new Blink 182 album?

This question is for Murph. Is it pork roll or Taylor Ham?

If you were transported to the last piece of media consumed (tv, book, game) what is it and do you think you’d live to the end

Earlier in the year y'all talked a little about Pathfinder 2nd Edition. I was wondering if you had considered doing a one shot or anything since then.

Hello fire-warmed ducklings! I dm a kids game every week and am in need of advice in the realm of wrangling sweet chaos. Picture playing with 6 young Caldwells who are absolutely hell bent on wonderfully weird bits, trying (either intentionally or unintentionally) to get away with insane asks, but also know all of the rules. It’s honestly incredible. But also I feel like I am so, so bad at keeping all of them on track to follow the larger plot. I unfortunately have to stick with the book (I am payed and need to follow the module alongside my boss who runs another game). Do you have any advice on how to balance, and give service to, those fun weird moments while staying on track and not accidentally giving the kids something like, say, a frayed wish scarf to their goblin they kidnapped instead of killed and turned into their pseudo-son because you know it would have been a 30 minute argument and you needed to have moved on to a bigger piece of the plot pie?

A question for the crew as a whole. If you could choose between the power of flight or super speed which would you choose?

Question for Murph: Of this most recent campaign, who has been your favourite NPC to play? For the rest of the 2 crew: Who has been your favourite NPC to interact with?

For Emily and Caldwell - Did getting to see Jake revisit Hardwon make y'all want to play Moonshine and Beverly again for a bit?

There have been comments scattered throughout campaigns 1 and 3 that seem to hint that there may be major landmasses in Bahumia beyond the main continent and the Frigid North. Is this true and are there plans to explore them any time in the future?

It's been a while since we heard about the game being developed, maybe I missed an update somewhere but is there any news on it? If it's been cancelled or delayed it'd be cool to see some of the assets that were drawn/created for the project!

Murph, would you ever consider having a significant time skip in one of your campaigns

Is there any plans or could there be future plans, to tour Canada again? It was such a black seeing you in Toronto

Are there plans for guest stars in C3? Ps hi Emily, I love you. 🥰

For the players: if the current campaign three characters had to change classes entirely, what classes do you think would best fit their characters? For Murph: how you doin' man? Love the show! Highlight of my week every week!

What was the most important book or book series of your childhood?

From your CH days, which is your favorite Stony remix? I perpetually live with Murph's fire instructor in my head saying, " ABS- always be sprinting"

Hiya Jake about three years ago on the short rest you mentioned you were reading a book about boats. What was the book and was it any good? 💕

What do you think the worst rule in dnd is? Either because it's unfair, nonsensical, unbalanced etc.?

Are Emily & Murph the inspiration for this? https://youtu.be/GFokXnCCMf8?si=dNLE7NqaqLZJ2Fv1 I'd SWEAR this is just 100% historically accurate Emily being the chaos goddess she was born to be on their first date. Even this one feels a little like her, although less Murph... but still a character I can imagine Murph inventing. https://youtu.be/3fHl9bxVT58?si=OD1bztOd3SB__Vmj

Jake - will you ever guest on 8 Bit Book Club? Emily - you’ve been on a lot of different TTRPG live play shows, how has your character creation process differed for each (NADDPOD, D20, CR)?

Question for Emily, do you think that Moonshine introducing dragons back into Behumia was a good thing? I know this is a complicated question that doesn’t have an easy answer, but I was recently relistening to the dragon elf saga and started thinking about how much more dangerous the living wood has become. I’m curious if Moonshine would have any thoughts about this, especially with the Crick having to retreat into a demi-plane to escape the violence.

Emily posted a picture of a 40k model on her Instagram a few months back. I have noticed some 40k aesthetics, chain swords, mechs. Does anyone in the group dabble in the grimdark future of the 41st millennium?

Hey all this is a magic the gathering question. Do you play commander and if so how is your go to Commander/Deck?

Will we be seeing anymore crossovers? The Tvale triplets in Behumia was fantastic! Would love to see how they ruin the world of Eldermourne.

Can you all bring back PO box thank yous to the plugs section of the show? I enjoy hearing what people send in.

When you tour do you factor in time for sightseeing? Any highlights from the last tour? Loved the Orlando show <3

Jake, what do you think the holidays were like for Calder in frostwind?

If you could tweak a currently existing class in some way, what would you change and why?

If all your characters from all your campaigns were living in the same tourist town and working at the local MARRIOTT BONVOY hotel, what would your jobs be?

Hey Caldwell, how's your one piece journey coming along? what devil fruit or haki would your characters have, or what would you have IRL?

If each of you were going to make a set of dice based on you what would the design and theme elements be? Also Jake how is being a cake person coming along?

What custom class or subclass would you add to the game? What unique features would they have?

two questions! first, the trinyvale x bahumia miniseries is one of my favourite shorter things y’all have put out. is there any chance you’d revisit the concept? the triplets take eldermourne? the triplets somehow go on the vacation to carls aunts beach house? or just letting them loose in another bahumia arc? second, how did y’all get into dnd? did you play a lot before naddpod? (we know jake was new to it ofc, but what about murph, emily, and caldwell?)

What’s honeysuckles go to recipe for thanksgiving?

A little bit of Brennan here, but: exp level up or milestone level up?

Would you rather sleep with shoes on or with winter mittens on every night ?

I love that duck team has been making so many new friends. Do you think there's any chance of them running into some of the boobs old allies like Mavrus or Scrumper? Or perhaps even the Son of Mavrus?

What was thanksgiving like for Sol and Albin at launchpad ?

To the mighty justices and the halfman J-wait, wrong request thread. Hi Two Crew, if you could choose any character you've ever played to hang out with IRL, who would you choose? What would you do together?

Will we we ever see a DM-Jake campaign or one-shot? Also, what sort of vibes would the rest of you want in a campaign setting you were running (or playing, for Murph)?

(For everyone) What song would be playing every morning if you woke up in a time loop? What songs would be playing every morning if your pcs woke up in a time loop?

Is there any plans for another trinyvale type secondary campaign dm'd by Caldwell or Emily or even the debut of Dake Murwitz?

I'm about to come to the end of DMing a 3 year campaign. This is my first ending. DMs, any tips on completing a satisfying narrative arc? Or having plans in case everything goes wrong in the final battle? Players, what are some moments from the end of campaigns that you appreciate the DM doing? Love ya all

What are your guy’s naming conventions for pc’s? What about npc’s? (Jake can answer too we will just pretend he dm’s sometimes)

My question is for emily, and if it’s we can have a critter update!! You inspire me to take care of my neighborhood cats and all! How are yours doing?!

Super important: can you... Gimme a HEMP?! Sorry okay. Non-campaign q: what's your sick day go-to? As in, what do you do on a day where leaving the house or doing any podcast/writing/illustrating/business/etc. work is just too much? Sending lots of love!❤️

What would thanksgiving look like for your current characters?

What thanksgiving side dish would you banish forever from your holiday meal?

This is a question for the whole 2 crew but mostly aimed at 'The Louie' aka Murph. I recently made a fan animation where i took everyones main campaign characters and put them into a wrestling pay-per-view. So that lead me to thinking, Has a wrestling themed oneshot set in any of the naddpod worlds been an idea thats been floated at all? It sounds like it would be really fun. Sol-cerely, Breezy :).

What are y’alls favorite things that didn’t make it to the Final Cut of the show. Errors, off-mlc jokes etc?

I'd love a critter update! How are all the various cats, paw paws and other creatures in the Murphy-Axford household?

Two questions: 1) do you know of any resources or D&D-like games that are aimed at young kids? My 8-year-old is good to play, but I have a four-year-old who is interested. He is can add numbers up to 30, but I think needs a simpler system. We have played Quest Kids, but that doesn’t really require any addition. Thoughts? 2) as were getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas, what are some of each of your favorite holiday foods? Are they family recipes? If so, who makes it?

Have you thought about doing a Trinyvale length DMily campaign? I always love the dynamic of the 3 (sometimes 4) boys as players and Emily's DMing style, but mixed bags and hot boy summers aren't enough to satiate me.

What’s the best thanksgiving side ?

What is your favorite Cricksney World ride!

Is there a case from the dungeon court live that really stood out?

bit if an odd question my group brought up recently, if you could take any DnD 5e feat in real life which would it be? Me personally I'd take magic initiate, mending would save me a fortune on glasses.

When are we going to see a guest in campaign 3?

Hey Folks! I’m building a one-shot in the Eberron setting. I’ve dm’d before, but not a one shot. The main challenge is connecting the characters to the world and building stakes for them. Do you have any strategies for getting players to “buy in” for such a short campaign? Thanks!

Who is your favorite DM to play for other than Murph? Do you guys have any other D&D podcasts/shows you’d like to guest on or be a part of? Will we ever get to see Caldwell and Jake on D20?!

Question for Murph (and also the crew) - if traditional Thanksgiving food participated in a WWE-style battle royal of sorts, what dish would win and why?

What do you do if the rules are just wrong? I am not afraid of house rules but for some of the more technical / roll-heavy by rules I am afraid to change them in case I have messed with the balance of the mechanics too much. Ex . Fall damage seems weak sometimes, a 20 in con can save you if the dice are lucky, why not instakill ?

If the three main campaign parties as well as the Trinyvale triplets competed against each other in beer Olympics, which team would win? (Obviously, I had to exclude the Bon Freres for having such an obvious advantage)

If bear not friend, why friend shaped?

I personally think the show is in a very sweet spot right now, with a monthly cadence of 2 campaign episodes, 1 Dungeon Court, and 1 8 Bit Book Club. Do you think this format is best for the show and for your schedules going forward? Also, do you think Jake will ever guest star on 8 Bit Book Club?

In honor of this being the underwater arc and the fact that there isn’t really any such thing as a fish, favorite aquatic animals? (real or fictional!)

Question for everyone? I feel like birds has been a hot button topic for Naddpod lately. If you had to die by bird which avian foe would you like to do you in?

Okay Murph what are your tattoos that we’ve seen in the videos y’all have made and your recent D20 adventures? What tattoos do the rest of you boobs have?!

Hello two crew!! I have been listening for a year and I love the show so much. I haven’t played dnd yet (I want to but post secondary and scheduling…) but I’m really nervous about falling flat when it comes to the improv aspect. What advice would you give for newer players who are worried about their improv skills? Thanks so much!

What's the best book you've read this year? I binged through the entire murderbot diaries this month and looooved it

Why didn't Hardwon get introduced to Calder? I was expecting some creative Jake v Jake moments but it never happened?

For Murph, you seem to be big into Warhammer lore, have you checked out Cubicle 7’s Warhammer fantasy (WFRP) and Warhammer 40K RPGs? And, if I may be so bold, maybe run a one shot? I’d love to see the 2crew in the Warhammer universe

Caldwell! What does Bev sound like now ?

How effectively could you all complete an escape room?

Hey y'all firstly I want to say that you guys were my first ever podcast and what helped me get into DND when I was 16 years old. I'm now 19, in college and still listening to you guys and am almost done with playing my first-ever campaign. My question is for the DM’s: I'm about to host my first campaign, a one-shot and would just like to know what to do to make sure my players have a good time? Thanks again, Chase.

duck team holiday traditions?

can you guys tell lou i said hi?

Hot Button Topic: #1 Best Holiday Food? Turkey vs Ham. Pumpkin Pie vs Stuffing. Let’s hear your ultimate dinner table lineup!

Are there plans to upload any of the recent live shows as mixed bags? I had a blast at the Chicago show & would love to relisten!

What is your favorite thing about each other?

C3 - Is there a reason you guys decided not to give Hardwon a scene in Kord's hall reuniting with Moonshine and Bev? My two theories are: You didn't want Hardwon to take too much focus away from the main cast of C3 or this is a future mini series back with the band of boobs. Thanks, love the pod <3

Hi all!! Do you have any long term plans for NADDPOD? Since you hit the amazing accomplishment of 5 years, I'm curious about the future state!

Favorite NPC of Campaign 3 so far? How do you create NPCs you know your party will grow attached to?

Hey guys I got a Q just begging for a cornucopia of As. Since it's the season of giving, if you could share the experience of dungeons and Dragons with any person dead or alive from human history who would it be?

Primarily for Emily - once C3 is done will you release some of the songs a la C1/C2? Loving the new tunes we've been hearing and would love to have them in my ears more often

Would you ever play an oops all villains campaign, what class would you play, and who would dm?

Are there any plans to do something Eldermourne related soon?

Do y'all have any stand out moments from this most recent tour of live shows? Had a great time at the Sacramento show 💚

Since Pathfinder Second Edition recently got a remaster to streamline and update their rules, do you think there’s any possibility of seeing this system in the show, or does it just not gel with NADDPOD?

Emily is such an incredible DM! Will we get more of her stories? (I personally hope Twilight Sanctum becomes a reoccurring mini series! Some of the funniest characters in such a fun world!)

What class would you want to do if you did another "oops all" mini arc like the hex buds?

Not sure if this has ever been discussed before but can we expect any guests to join the crew for this campaign? I would love to hear Beardsley play in Bahumia, or Aabria or Jasper! Loved all the guests in C1 and Lou in C2, its so fun seeing the party dynamics shift when a new player joins for a bit!

For Murph! When do you feel like your players shine the most? What are your favorite things about playing with the gang?

For each person: who has been your favorite NADDPOD character to role play? Follow up: Murph - why is it pendergreens?

Might we ever get a mini arc of the Band of Boobs in the ethereal plane post hardwons return? Ps love you guys, and as a cat mom to 2 babies who is very allergic to them, I feel murphs pain

I've been a big fan of the pod for many years and it has always cheered me up no matter what. I hope it continues for many years and campaigns to come. My question is: What's your favourite Flinstones character?

Emily, did you ever get Murph to try Murderbot? I think he’d really enjoy ART aka asshole research transport.

What's everyone's favourite video game at the moment?

If the Blue Crew were a band, what genre of music would they play and what would their first album title be?

Can we get an official comment from Jake on how he feels about “Calder’s Cold Cum”?

happy hoglidays all! this isn’t a campaign-related question (hope that’s okay!) but one for emily! what are some books you’ve read this year that you’d recommend? (:

perpetually looking for book recs. what book would the campaign 3 characters rec? (not the jessica simpson mag)

What have been some of your favorite memories from campaign 3/the recent tour dates?

Question for murph! Murph! How do you plan dynamic encounters with so many moving parts in your theater of the mind style? So many moments from the pod come to mind but the most intense I can remember is the thwack the gash mountain chase scene from campaign 1. I’m assuming some amount of them are planned and some completely random, but what’s ur strategy regardless? How do you come up with such interesting mechanics ?

What crimes would your characters commit that they themselves would not approve of if it was done to them? Like shoplifting when you were a kid vs. Seen a kid shoplifting

Are none of you playing Baldur’s Gate 3? I haven’t heard a peep from any of you about this amazing DND game. Give me those sweet creamy deets!!!

Are you guys finally making enough to go to a resort and record another run at Metal City Mayhem? Maybe Jake is the missing piece you need to not die in the same spot

I'm just curious if Murph the Nerf mascot still lives rent free in Murph's brain

for jake (but everyone else can jump in as well): how did it feel jumping back into playing (or playing with) hardwon? was it different than playing him originally in campaign 1?

WHAT HAPPENED AT A LITTLE PLACE CALLED MANGIAS ⁉️

What is your preferred Warhammer 40k army?

Is there an estimate for how many eps campaign three is going to be/ what level the PCs are going to?

Loving C3! Do you think you'll ever have guests come on like in C1 and C2?
