I truly hope to see more Twilight Sanctorum eventually. Its my favorite thing NADDPOD has done, I could listen to an 80 episode season of it.

Please bring them back 🙏

Omg I have no idea how patreon works so no clue if the crew will see this but I am dying for more of this campaign for spooky season!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I hope we eventually get another Twilight Santorum campaign. I love these characters and the story Emily laid out for them!

S
Scrumblina Brumblina · August 21, 2025

Cant believe its already been 2 years almost since this amazing campaign. No one imbues the same kind of pathos and visceral imagery into their GMing like the Dungeon Docent. Heres to hoping we get a sequel soon.

C
Camilla Jefferson · June 19, 2025

Callum Woodhouse is who i picture for Mavid (in the Durrells, or any other similar character he's played)

Thomas Witholt | Hermit's Mirror · May 20, 2025

This makes me so excited to play some “one shots”/“four shots” for once

B
Beluga, Gunks undersea mount that only drinks dr.p · April 16, 2025

This is some impressive stuff right here. The part where Frankie persuaded the guard to basically try to save a collapsing relationship and have him take the guard watch had me dying. Imagine working at a McDonald’s and all the sudden a random man starts working at the cash register while the employ says, “This is my fast-food chain too!” And just sits down and eats a Big Mac.

J
James Grimes · March 25, 2025

The gang’s performances in this campaign are so different from C1 — having a D&D show feels like the absolute dream goal for pure writer-actors

B
Bunny 🩷 · January 13, 2025

I name the puppet the name we were going to name Mavid if he was a girl?? That's so fucking funny!

P
Pali Endi · November 18, 2024

Emily (as Edgar) reflected true Murph energy with: “You want ME to be an UNSPEAKING ROLE in HAMLET???” The AUDACITY! 🤣🤣🤣

C
Christian Cole · October 25, 2024

We need more plzzzz

J
Jamie Matthews · October 20, 2024

Revisiting Twilight Sanctorum for spooky season and its even better than I remembered!! It's easy to feel all the heart and soul you guys put into this one 🧡🖤

J

It’s October and I need more of this series now, thanks

G
Gabriel · September 26, 2024

Okay guys. October is right around the corner. Get your daggers and dog cones ready for hopefully another installment in the plane of shadows!

A
Austin Wiggin · September 5, 2024

What an amazing telling. What do I love about this setting? It's all the monsters you fight in dnd but now they're normalized, they're in their monster city. I loved Franky becoming a friend to a hag, a vampire benefactor who knows kindness, ghouls that run a business.

T
Tristan Khan · June 17, 2024

Emily. Wow. This was amazing. What a world, what a story. The guys did a great job with their characters (Jake’s best character yet) but Emily knows how to weave a wonderful tale! More please!!!!

J
Jonathan Bartley · June 9, 2024

One of NADDPOD’s best works here.

H

Charlotte · May 13, 2024

Twilight Sanctorum has been a joy to listen to! I loved the interactions and dynamic between all the PCs and Emily definitely nailed the noir tone and tropes!! The mystery was super fun and the story took shape in such a cool way! I hope we get to hear more from the Vantasmos and their illustrious Dungeon Docent one day!

j
jen · April 25, 2024

It is my first time commenting but I wanted to say how much I loved listening to Twilight Sanctorum. Emily, your ability to weave a story is amazing. Thank you so much for your hard work. It is inspiring. This adventure is a favourite of mine to listen before bed and I always have sweet dreams. The whole team did such a great job and just the delightful twists and turns just make it a fun listen. As a long time listener, I just want to say you guys are wonderful.

B
Beluga, Gunks undersea mount that only drinks dr.p · April 16, 2025

Well said

Gavin L. · April 1, 2024

I know this is probably waiting for next spooky season, but we need more of these ghouls!!! I love them so much

M
Matthew Rudland Barfoot · March 29, 2024

Twilight Sanctorum has been so excellent, as what Hot Boy Summer. Love your guys individual DM styles, you are an excellent podcast and compliment each other's styles so well

S
Stephen Fike · March 12, 2024

We need more!!! Can’t wait for the “get Pennys blood back” arc

T
Trevgar Beardbrook · February 19, 2024

I need more of this. Everything Emily DM’s is gold. The three ghouls are comedic platinum. Give the people what we want. More Twilight Sanctorum!

A
Aran Eardley · February 12, 2024

That was incredible I laughed so hard so many times Mavid was just pure goat

t
theattackchicken · February 10, 2024

I LOVED this so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Like, truly wonderful. More please!!!!

M
Micah Edmonds · January 31, 2024

This might be the best single episode y’all have produced of anything since the King Dragon fight. So effortlessly atmospheric, equal parts hilarious and spooky and emotional. I adore how Emily’s mood leans toward the murky but she doesn’t let it get in the way of her cackling delight at great jokes and meaningful touches. Really wonderful stuff.

J
Josef Jozefowicz · January 27, 2024

Lol Jake's voice in this series is just too hilarious, I Loved hank's voice but this is somehow much better

x

Ohmygod please I need this as a full campaign I love these characters and Emily doing spooky horror DMing so much! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Mike Hamrick · January 8, 2024

I'm absolutely loving this series. So glad you guys brought it to the main feed because I need so much more of it

S
StarsPaw-Pawn · January 7, 2024

What would Calder think of Dolores?!

R
Rafael C · January 7, 2024

Put listening to this away for a bit cause I didn't want it to end [and was getting into my rewatch of the first arcs of c3], but it was worth the wait!! Really hope we see more of Dungeon Docent Emily messing with the Vantasmos eventually! (And sounds like y'all do too lol.) Also, a rose to Murph cause listening to Frankie this episode was heartbreaking, like, his kindness to Able Miss Mabel at the end, and that decision about Trudea... cathartic stuff my man. Also another rose (to Caldwell probably?) cause I just realized Twanc/the Vantasmos have their own lil d20 emblems like other pcs!! Love how their initials were worked into the designs!!

M
Matt Kilsby · January 6, 2024

Really amazing series, can’t wait for the next part 😍

B
BumblingRose · January 5, 2024

This is the BEST extra content ever on any patreon. I realllllllly hope to hear more from this crew. Thank-you so so much!

L
Liam Harvey · January 5, 2024

Loved this mini series so much

P
Proopypants · January 5, 2024

I love Emily's worldbuilding so much! I have a feywilde adventure coming up in a homebrew D&D game where a major archfey NPC can weave the night itself, and her sisters the moon and the stars. They're all the humanoid-fey offspring of a giant spider that weaves fate and story itself. I think I'm gonna bung a moonweaver bird and spinning magical spiders in for sure. Thanks for the extra inspo! :D

S
Sam Pinnell · January 5, 2024

Emily did an amazing job with the soundtrack- I am desperately waiting for the sake of my home game to get ahold of these tracks to use at my table! Also would always love to hear more of Emily DMing!

T
Tom · January 4, 2024

Sorry this needs to be a full season. So good

Oakworthy Vineyards · January 4, 2024

This arc was so much fucking fun!! This is a world I want to spend more time in, and the characters had such fantastic chemistry!! I’m down for 100 episodes of Twilight Sanctorum, and I’d love to see the Vantasmos live!!

v
v_squared (Vanessa) · January 4, 2024

Need more of the Vantasmos!

S
Sharktopus Reckoning · January 3, 2024

Caldwell plays Penny so sweetly, I want him to be happy!

S
Sharktopus Reckoning · January 3, 2024

Murph and Emily acted Trudea’s death scene so impactfully. I could imagine Frankie staring down, mournfully, as the tense grimace fell from Trudea’s face-that maybe the urn caught a glint of moonlight and Frankie saw Lynette in its reflection- I’m sorry…I’m sorry.” Frankie’s mercy and compassion really touched me. I love these boys

R
Rafael C · January 7, 2024

YES!!! Frankie's apologies to her totally sounded like they were for Lynette, it was really heartbreaking

S
Sharktopus Reckoning · January 3, 2024

This arc was such a beautifully executed dramedy- the intrigue was so consistent, the emotions so real, and the bits so fucking funny!!! Everyone killed it: Frankie and Penny, my beloved sad boys, Mavid, my bastard gremlin son, and Emily- dungeon docent of the stars!!!

A
Ashley & Atticus · January 3, 2024

More please Dungeon Mommy!

D
David Ly · January 3, 2024

Mavid has got to be my new favourite character. I hope we get more of the Vantasmo's in the future!

B
BumblingRose · January 5, 2024

I love Jake of course, but he really ramped up the humor and role playing with Mavid to a whole new level!

G
Genaro Morales · January 3, 2024

Twilight Sanctorum has been so good!! Loved it

D
Dag Swanials · January 3, 2024

Amazing everyone! The character were perfect, love the family! The story, the scene, the setting, the atmosphere, EMILY just perfect! I will always support more Twilight Santorium! Ya'll just let me know the Patreon Tier and I'll be there!

J
Jennifer · January 2, 2024

This world is so fun! The atmosphere is so lush and I love how the world is crazy and fun as well as spooky and gloomy. I'm looking forward to catching up with the Vantasmo's again.

M
Matt Atkinson · January 1, 2024

Caldwell plays such a good dad character, I actually teared up when we saw young Frankie being so nice and encouraging to Penn, he's chasing that good time he remembers and overdoing it sometimes

S
SneakyTweaky · January 1, 2024

Emily (and all) are so talented. I hope we see more of this wonderful group of characters and her DMing.

C
Canid Duality · January 1, 2024

So I've been wanting a replacement to Trinyvale to have along side the main campaign like campaign 1. I do believe we have it with Twilight Sanctorum. Can't wait for the next arc of TS and C3. Thanks for another great year and happy new year.

R
Rohan Kallianpur · December 31, 2023

I LOVE this campaign!! The way the characters interact, Jake's hilarious character 😂, Emily's wild creativity, Murph a d Caldwell's exceptional ability to yes-and, and Caldwell's absolutely terrible jokes 😂. It's all so good!

M
Meapyboy1234567 · December 31, 2023

Man just like everyone else is saying. This was absolutely amazing. Emily is a phenomenal DM(/DD) You crafted this world so expertly and Murph Caldwell and Jake played their characters incredibly (Mavid might be my favorite character) I am also so happy that this is going to be continuing in the future i would love to see a longer campaign by Emily. You guys are 👌. (Also I saw someone else say in previous comment but we have to know who killed Lynette. Love all the open ended things that you have left to continue this)

P
Princess Ringpop · December 31, 2023

Okay but now I need more Twilight Sanctorum! The vibes, everything, please let this become a thing even if it's just every now and then. I need this 😩 🥰🥰

a
atlasrising · December 31, 2023

Emily smashed this out of the park; she is the VIBE QUEEN. Absolutely loved the boys dynamic when they're all playing together, especially that they're grandfather, father and son😂😂😂

M
Mellzs · December 31, 2023

Able Miss Mable is the wholesome hag I didn't know my soul needed thanks for such a stellar story! Emily's melancholy mystery just 10/10 no notes loved it!

h
happylinlin00 · December 31, 2023

i absolutely LOVED this campaign! i love the idea where the goal of an adventure is to reincarnate someone, and the motivation being so professional-driven is so charming in a way that shows how loyal and dedicated the party is. and the ending teasing a next adventure featuring nicco is so exciting!! i really hope this campaign comes back sooner than later, absolute loved it

Holy shit. Emily is an amazing DM and Storyteller. She’s incredible.

F
FolkieStage · December 31, 2023

If this story doesn’t continue I will be deeply bummed out. If Able Miss Mable and Frankie don’t find domestic happiness together, I will be okay because the story continued but also a little bummed. Edit: I couldn’t leave this just as it was. Emily was a good DM for The Mavrus Chronicles but it’s rad as hell as a fan to hear her become truly excellent.

I
Ian Capper · December 31, 2023

They are literally the Pawn Star guys

F
FregLover · December 31, 2023

Frankie's "Little Death" scene is case in point why I love your storytelling. So quick and clever, funny, tragic, and poignant at the same time. Just came to say bravo.

Ian Phippen · December 30, 2023

I am so so glad you guys promised to do more of these! I'd love to see a full length campaign in this world. Everyone in this crew is so talented, but Emily is my favorite dm of any actual play, and this world is so imaginative and fun. Plus, the private eyes played by the boys have me laughing like every two minutes minimum.

C
Cass Cassillas · December 30, 2023

I don't usually comment and just listen/lurk quietly, but I LOVED this arc. I'm so glad you're setting up for more. Shoutouts to Emily for being such an INCREDIBLE DM, but also let's give Jake credit for making the most lovable and despicable character in any campaign. I'm Mavid's biggest fan, he's my little deviant.
