Patreon Exclusive: Session 0 with DM Jake! Patreon Exclusive: Session 0 with DM Jake!

Comments

I listened to this after finishing Skaldova!! Its so fun to hear how this began!

LJ KA

i'm on ep29 of campaign 3 but i really want to start Skaldova - are there campaign 3 spoilers? can someone reply and let me know? thank you! :)

Camilla Jefferson

Man, Between Two Fires was such a stellar book. It's been over a year since I read it and there are still scenes from it that give me the chills just from remembering them

WitchKnightRen

Listening to this now is freaking hilarious!!!

Professor Pratt

Hell yeah Jake is taking baby steps behind the GM screen love to see it, let's go man. Also wow very impressive setting building that you have already done, love the concept for the world and always makes it good when you have a bit of mystery right out front driving plot forward from the outset.

Cooper Erikson

congratulations on taking the leap, jake! i also dipped my toe into DMing for the first time recently, and luckily you have a great starting place: your players love you and want to help you succeed! all of us do, too, and i hope that gives you a little reassurance. absolutely cannot wait to listen to yall’s story

Sami Kerwin

Jake you've got this man. I believe in you!

Tyler Gob

Yuusss!! I knew who Emily was referring to before she mentioned the name and I was so feckin stoked!

Tessa Pettyjohn

"There is no honor in Mudtown" reminds me of the poem "Casey at the bat" ("there is no joy in mudville...")

David Montier

I've been listening to the general on repeat since this episode of the pod so thanks for that...

Totally Offside

You're gonna do great, Jake! I'm so excited to watch you come into your own as a DM! Don't worry about messing up, we're here for the ride and vibe. I'm so excited; this world sounds so amazing!

Alyssa

Send it with the voice Murph, fuck the haters 🙏 also thanks for the book rec, let me return the favor. Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson Honestly anything by Sanderson, but this series really spoke to me

Vayne

BOGGY RODGER 😭😭😭 I can’t breathe

Jack el destripador

Now that Jake is no longer the only one who hasn’t DM’d, does his bailiff status increase to be *slightly* less lowly?

Bill Kelly

I'm so hyped for Jake's DM premiere and i'm so HYPED FOR THE BUFFALO BILLS LETS GO!

Austin Wiggin

🖤as someone who has never played (def not DM’d) a DnD game : new DM adventures make me feel a special sort of jazzed and even more empowered to maybe play some day. Soooo excited for this, Jake-rock on! This is going to be amazing!

Jess J

I am so hyped for DM Jake and it's kind of funny how nervous he is when within 10 seconds of him explaining his world I was locked in. I have never been more interested in anything in my life. I cannot wait to see Jake DM. I want to hear the voices for NPC's, I want to hear him read box text. I want to hear him design encounters. I am ready!

Joe S

I see “With DM Jake” and drop everything else I’m doing. This comment is before listening: I’m excited AF for you Jake!

Lawbind

My first module I DM'd was The Sunless Citadel! Excited to see how you play around with it! You will do great Jake, remember that nobody knows what you have planned, so you can't possibly be wrong! :)

zach stewart

I don't say this lightly, but this sounds amazing!

Evin Miller

So hype!! I'm a sucker for playing the secret occultist in settings like this! I'm very intrigued for the vibes and the worldbuilding!! Love this safe atmosphere y'all are giving Jake to DM, very much appreciated (specially as someone who's been summoning up courage to DM – hope my friends are half this understanding lol). In that same spirit, don't worry about us Murph, French it away if it makes roleplaying more enjoyable!

Rafael C

Im sure someone has said this but i love swinging the sword in the stone and then while fighting the boss he smashes the stone and has become the chosen one

munch lax

That French accent is tantalising!

Nathaniel Parsons

That psuedo-french accent was dope Murph!!!

Tnm1401

Spheres of Might 5e has some great non magic character options!

Xanian Jamfalcon

NADDPOD world/character creation is my new favorite content

Vampire the Assquerade

Such a good book. I blazed through

Vampire the Assquerade

I got so excited when I heard Jake was gonna dm!!! Not because I think it’ll be good! Just just to see his growth as a nerd!!!

EternalDM

I'm so excited for this world and for Jake the DM!! You're going to do great and you've got a table full of supportive players!

Victoria Fair

“Peel the magic away” is an evocative image that I hope gets revisited ~ You’ve got this, Jake!

Pali Endi

I've been waiting for this for sooooo long

Heavy Harry

Between two Fires was a great read. Some fantastic horror/demonic elements to it.

K C

WWWWHHAATTTT!?!?!?!

adrian aguilar

MURPH! I had a vision of you putting on the French accent in the beginning then reveal that it’s fake and go gravely.

Melissa Shilale

Crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on Cake!!!!!

Melissa Shilale

I can't wait to listen

Paavu Escanor, the goliath paladin providing service with a smile

Hell yeah brother! I’m so excited!

Joey

Pleaaaaase Murph do a French-ish accent if you feel comfortable with it, like an Italian accent it's never wrong to do

Signe Krantz

Hugely looking forward to the roleplay of dry siege logistics and crop rotations

P MW

Break a leg Jake cant wait!

Alexander Mercado

go jake

rice crispy

My head cannon is that all the crows in this world are somehow descendents of caw caw

just a little bawn

The numbers of comments and likes on this post are making me smile. I hope Jake is seeing this as a sign of how loved and appreciated he is, although I’m sure he’d just say it’s just added pressure 😂

Matt Kilsby

God I'm so excited to see what Jake has for us! and I'm especially anticipating what wacky a dynamic Murph Emily and Caldwell will fall into; this is the first time we get that specific combination! I've been on the fence for awhile but Jake taking that leap must at last motivate me to dm the campaign I've been pondering. can't wait for whats next!!!

Georgia

But what news of the granaries in this campaign? Are they depleted?

mikel_pickle

Can we see the map?

Aaron McNeil

the idea of being able to use animal messenger on any creature with a flying speed is soooo funny. Imagine you can talk to animals if they're flying, so if there are no birds around you have to cast fly on a random creature, and THEN you keep having to convince them not to use their new powers to fly away (I know animal messenger isn't speak with animals but the idea tickles me so)

Ilana Galpert

Can't wait to hear the first submission that Bailiff Cake has to read in Court that was written by the crew. 😂

Monk3yTouch3r

Super excited for Jake to DM was on my wish list for the short form campaigns!

Ian Dack

ITS HAPPENING! I got my cup turned up, on the pursuit of happiness. Happy new years ya'llvrybody

Monk3yTouch3r

i am sorry if this is too explicit it occurred to me it might be but i'm not sure? there is no violence and there are no firearms and it felt like...i needed to tell you

Ilana Galpert

did you guys know there was a peruvian drug bust led by the grinch????? somebody is taking surprise round too seriously this is grinch life imitating grinch art edit: I put the video link here but it occurred to me it might not be appropriate so I took it down but it is on youtube

Ilana Galpert

Screw ze 'aterz ov ze axe-AWNTS! Doo 'zem enniewey! We must niedz 'zis frAWNCH berd-man!

Magestain

So excited! Jake will be a great DM I can already tell by the names on his map. Emily always has the most interesting and varied character concepts, can't wait to see who she will play! The Class Murph is looking to play is awesome. The Griffin's Saddlebag is some of the best DnD content I've run, I cannot shill enough for the Griffin's Saddlebag. I have a player who uses that subclass and thought it was so much fun. I hope you go with this one. Caldwell with the blindside characters. Always a wildcard and always a lot of fun. Can't wait to see what shenanigans he can get into with this. Jake should prepare himself

Mr. Dude Sky

I'm straight up Jaking it. And by it haha well lets just say my Nadpoles

David Klein

French birdman is a must

The Cabbage Merchant

Exciting, and I hope it goes great! But it always seems so weird to me when the setting is such a cool dark world and then people make joke characters. I mean I guess it makes sense since this is more of a comedy show, but I feel it would be more fun with actually serious characters.

Ken

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS! i was re listening to the early hearthside where u had just started to play, and seeing how far you’ve come is so exciting !!! congrats, you’re gonna kill it jake 💗

Caitie McD

Was telling my boyfriend "I hope we see Jake DM sometime," after C3 ended. New Year's miracle indeed

Fanwithglasses

Maybe not for this campaign, but i think you would love the alternate and new classes made by creator LaserLama. His done a complete overhaul of all the martial classes and has made even his new classes. My whole group has gradually converted over to uses his stuff.

Brandon McLaughlin

Hey, Jake! Excited for the ... three-shot? For what it's worth, here are two quick unsolicited things that have always helped me, a forever DM: (1) 'Go slow in order to go fast.' What might strike you as slow in some way is inevitably going to strike the listener as a -- 'Whoa, how did he do that?' (Athletes aren't athletes because they 'hurry up,' you know?) (2) Yes, yes, there's "rEsPoNsIbIlItY," but ... you're telling a story with your friends! And that's super cool. Peace, love, rock and roll, cake, Grinch, etc etc etc.

Evan Fleischer

I started listening to naddpod same time you started playing on it. I simultaneously fell in love with the show and you. I'm sending the joy you've given me back to you.

Meg Shallanberger

That you will do will great, Jake, is a given. You all on naddpod have gotten me through hellish times. I'm thrilled to see your new world.

Meg Shallanberger

I kinda hope Emily plays the love-lorn chivalric knight to contrast Murph's grizzled cynical knight and Caldwell's bandit who just wants to make a new crew

Summer, Autumn Eladrin

So stoked for this

Bobert G

HUUUGE

Rob Lewin

For a cool low-magic historic fantasy I highly recommend The Lost Queen trilogy by Signe Pike, it’s about the last pagan kingdoms in northern England as early Christianity starts to take hold. There’s a lot of very cool descriptions of subtle magic and working with nature, and it kinda gets into our relationship with ancient history and earlier philosophies/spiritualities. Felt very on-theme and also something I think especially Emily would like potentiallly ?

Maya B

So so stoked for this also, I recently learned about the illrigger class and think some of those subclasses could be really cool here as PCs or NPCs!

dummythixon

I’m truly so excited! Can’t wait to watch Jake DM! You got this Jake!

DarthTurkey28

So amped for this!!!!!!!

George

Jake, I am so psyched for this. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you have truly grown as a player and we ALL support you 100%!!!

Michael Lawton

This is how he wins Jill back from Tucker

Rene the Monster Captain

smiled like an idiot in the grocery store upon seeing this notif!! so proud and best of luck, john! :D

Don’t know if this was a joke or not but if you need music for the new series I’m a composer looking for work! I’ve done grimdark fantasy stuff!

Devin

This is the best news of the new year!

Taylor Bullman

Also, 1100 likes and 500 comments, We nadpoles were hungry for the DM jake arc

John EldenRing

BOGS BOGS BOGS BOGS. I played a bog druid and every game came through with a different bog fact.

Stabitha

French accent Murph is a must.

derek howard

Three episodes?! Nah. I'm going to need a full length campaign of this. Period.

William Corley

JAKE CAMPAIGN?????? OMG

DrVonStreusel

THIS MIGHT EVEN BE BETTER THAN CAKE????

aloox

Dude!! You got this Jake.

anoakleaf

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Santiago Gonzalez

RAAAAHHHHHHHH

thequeercat

This going to be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Thomas

OH SHIT!!??? OH FUCK???

jacob kessler

This is SO GODDAMN exciting!!!!

Kyle Veach

Show the map!

Joe K

Of course Brian City Pigeon Murphy wants to play a guy who can talk to birds

Damodar

I’m so excited about this! And like a typical First time DM- there’s so many ideas that this arc will last longer than he expects! So many “one shots” are actually 4-8 sessions! So many great ideas Jake!

Elizabeth Harris

Murph PLEASE be a disgruntled frenchman who talks to birds

Tuesday Hernandez

Jake DM! Lets go!!!! You got this

Adrian

EEEEE so excited for dm jake!!!

deranged pigeon

So excited!! I better get to catching up :D

Alinta Rose

Oh my god this all sounds amazing!! Emily’s squire idea sounds so much fun! And a guy named Helmet is amazing! Murph with the birds so good! And Jake’s world is so so sick! I can’t wait with whatever they all decide to do and feel like Jake is so ready for this!!

Thrath the Demon Lord of Spite

so incredibly excited jack, this is a big opportunity youve been given here! dont fuck it up. dont fuck it up. do NOT fuck it up.

Aiden

You got this Jake

bj cox

You guys might consider a 2024 barb if the theme is Norse ish. They got some sweet upgrades and would be sick in low magic, especially in lower levels.

Oakenguard

Don’t let us down Jake. There’s a lot riding on this one bro. Dungeon Jakester? Is that a good nickname??

Dale Jefferson

The way I SQUEALED when I read the title. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Jessie Kuehm

DM JAKE!!!

Salem

Jake DMing for the crew is awesome! It's gotta be like watching an apprentice take their first solo steps!

Geeksforlunch

Let’s go Jake everyone is counting on you!

Chuck P

People don’t talk about how uber drivers are the modern knight

Heck

I am so excited for this! Seeing magic coming back to a place the lost its magic is my favourite kind of story. And the characters sound very cool and weird, which is the best combination. Jake, good luck! We are rooting for you and happy that you’re doing this 💙

Li I

Regarding the initiative thing - i think the new Alert feat is good for that. You add your proficiency bonus to initiative and you can trade place in initiative with any willing PC as long as you’re both conscious. It’s obviously not as good previous Alert feat, but it’s a background feat, so it makes sense. Plus the surprised condition is different anyway…

Li I

Hell yeah, DM Jake!!! You got this! Also, Between Two Fires mentioned! Such a good book!

Zane R

I’m so excited!!!! Hopefully something fun to call him comes up like “DEmily” or “Dunkle Caldwell” Best I got so far is Jungeon Master or DJ (Dungeon Jake)

Cora Bright

Silence everybody else. Jake is DMing

Chris J.

HUGE!!!! I’m still at the beginning of C3 but I’m so looking forward to listening to Jake’s first DM arc once I’m caught up!

Bree

YESSSSSSS!!!! I’m so excited! Jake, you’ll be amazing!

Jackie Hale

The stress is still real to me, dammit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g7VoRQPswg

Heckin Good

Give me Dragoon Frenchman Murph or give me death!

Daniel C. Williams

Back in my day we walked to school in difficult terrain at the cost of half of our movement speed both ways 👴🏻

Hammy

The bit where grampa is reminiscing about misty stepping as a bonus action etc is so funny

Samuel Gray

I’m so happy

Samuel Gray

I love Caldwell’s boggy voice

Been waiting for this!!

i'm commander shepard and this is my favorite interraction in the (sunless) citadel

Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! celebrating turning 32 by seeing D20 at MSG dressing up as Sofie Lee!

This is fantastic watching Jake grow from not remembering his action surge and second wind to being a master of all his fighters stuff to now finally confident to Dm for the rest of the 2 crew I'm absolutely excited for this I feel like I'm growing along side my man as well I got into naddpod because I didn't know much of DnD so learning with Jake has been wonderful

KSM101

YESSSS DM JAKE!!!

Nia R

I’m so excited

bj cox

I demand French Murph

Jordon Brown

I prefer to do a little negotiating to bring things back to reality rather than just outright denial to my PC's, plus this is Caldwell, Murphy, and Emily, how far could they take it? Lol

fresh03

I'm so psyched. I was really hoping to have a DM Jake campaign.

Torrey

I can definitely think of a few cases where a firm ‘no’ is needed but I get what you are saying lol

Nicholas

OMG this is so exciting! I should have guessed that Jake would be dm since you guys said it would be an exciting announcement! Although to be fair it’s been a hot minute since y’all have talked about it so you’re sneakiness worked

Nicholas

Hey me too! It’s been super fun learning DnD as a listener along with Jake

Hannah G.

This is going to be awesome!!! Jake you have TRULY come so so far since 2018 and I speak for every NADDPOLE when I say we are so proud of you and support you 100%!!!!!!

KingHalt

I’m so incredibly excited for this

Nick Nelson

If you are playing by "the rules" then that's what they are. Homebrew-wise you can do what you want. But rules as written, if you are playing by 2024 rules, you must use the new version of the subclass if it exists. I only mentioned it at all because they talked about how there weren't many options to choose from with 2024 classes, but the old stuff is technically still allowed. Same with backgrounds. There are guidelines in the book for using 2014 background with 2024 characters. It's pretty neat. At the end of the day, whatever they wanna do is dandy!

Lonestar

THIS IS WHAT WE BEEN WAITING FOR

Hostage4hire

Once again I'd like to recommend an MCDM class if you're open to 3rd party. In this case the Beastheart, very fighter like, kind of battle master like, but they also *really* lean into having a companion pet... like a bird maybe.

Argonautica

I’ve been that island in NC! It’s really cool, I even found half of a horse pelvis bone there and am in the process of cleaning it.

Rook

Oh yes, love that Cadwell suggests a character that is putting things in his mouth. Very on brand for the player 😜

jaydee meowr

Dude!! I’ve absolutely had that same nightmare! Where my computer is a limp ikea instructions manual and I can’t get it to work!

Sable Szczeklik-Silvius

Can't wait for the mini campaign! Sunless Citadel is a ton of fun to run as a DM, just stay loose and never outright say no to a PC idea and you'll have a blast!

fresh03

I'm still on campaign 3 but this is the COOLEST

Tiffany

IM SO EXCITED

Holden

Emily, you can borrow my horse! 🐎

Sarah Trimble-Tutor

General manager flake!!

Nick francis

I’m so happy and excited!!

Taylor B, a part-time clartist

Let’s goooooooo Jake!!!!!

Savannah Hankinson

Hoping for this mini campaign they don’t have super tight editing - would be fun to hear Jake and gang fumble around and figure out things for both DMing and 5.5, similar to how the first campaign had a lot more “learning moments” throughout of everyone figuring out the game.

Martin S

So excited for this! Jake DMing! Arthurian shit! Possible French accents! Bogs! Birds! This campaign is going to be right up my alley.

Gwen Gilpin

Let’s go DM Jake!

Stuart Boelts

Y'all should lean so unnecessarily hard into the Dispatch inspired backgrounds. Emily's knight "stole a ring from a flying horse" God and that's why her own steed abandoned her. The "ring is all rusty now" and she's on a quest to restore its luster and regain favor from the horses to earn her title back. Along the path to Mudtown she found a badger and a one-eyed toad that are now her familiars.

Ryan C.

Yayyyyy Jake!!! Can’t wait!!!

Suzanna DePeri

MAP MAP MAP MAP! We LOVE it!!!

Elizabeth Harris

Hell yeah Jake! I'm so excited to listen to this!

Joey Hosty

The Sunless Citadel was one of my first dungeon crawl mini-campaigns when I first started playing D&D and I’m super stoked that Jake’s including it for his first DMed game. So proud of you Jake, you’re gonna crush it!

Doctor Ransom

When I saw the title in my feed I shouted! So excited for this campaign!

Joshua Steiner

Hyped for this one.

Patrick Fisher

If Murph isn’t French I will cry

Cicero the jester

Advice for a French accent: Pretend you're disgusted with the fact you have to pronounce Rs.

Tori the Tungsten Dragoose

literally fist pumped reading the title

Jenna

Holy crap!!!! Let's go Jake!!!!!!

Carlo Puche

Love how much Murph slow played the reveal of his vaguely French catchphrase. "Zer eez no honeur in Maudtown."

Totally Offside

Oh! They also fight along side a baby dragon.

Sand Panda

Murph... you described a playable type in the old MMO FFXI (11, not 14). The Dragoon. They wear purple gear, fight with a lance (or sword), jump on targets and their back story is linked to a "French" like kingdom. You basically described my old character, lol.

Sand Panda

Soooooo excited for Jake in the DM seat his world is the exact one I wanted to make for a campaign of my own I love it!!

Erik Boudreault

You can do it Jack!!!!

Omar Mtz

Caldwell's surprise baby is currently higher!!

Kellyd

is this the highest liked post of time on the naddpod patreon??

Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! celebrating turning 32 by seeing D20 at MSG dressing up as Sofie Lee!

I haven't been this excited since I had my baby!

Marc Capo

The horny knight aka the horned knight

Noah

OH MY FUCKING SHIT IM SO EXCITED FOR JAKE TO DM

Brady Young

omg! I just started episode 1 of C3 but I might just have to listen to this as it comes out. Go Jake!

Alexis

Jake DM?? We are eating in 2025

Jbird723

Murph i pledge myself to fighting anyone that takes issue w the accent. It’s so good and instantly brought me so much joy. But follow ur heart

Lexi loves the 2 crew!

JAKE DM-ING WILL BE SO HYPED Also Jake would love an Aragorn, King of Gondor deck because it’s not 5 mana and Jake could be King

Corey Ruef

Emily's chaste knight is loosely reminding me of Adam Driver's character in the Last Duel, which would fit the setting perfectly >.>

Jor Elare

YESSSSSS DM JAKE

Trisha

😱

Joe K

For what it’s worth I like the French one!

Jonathan Danner

Excited for this Jake! Would be funny to pay homage to Amir by including a character that goes by the name of “The Chipmunk”. He could be a thief, with large cheeks, who hordes all his steals.

Joseph Christodoulou

Murph should totally go with the “French” acccent

Tim Sauerland

Excited for Jake but I think now he will be too busy to ever guest on 8bit, shame

Jon

DON JUAN OF THE DONJON 🏄🐉

AXWH

This is gonna be awesome. Very excited to see Jake go from drinking in the fiddle to now lacing up his DM boots. You're gonna do great, Jake!

Evan Cordero

Omg yessssss!!!!!!!

Audrey B

YOURE GOING TO BE SO GOOD CAKE

Kal knows you’re listening Riccarda comma wink

Love everything about this! Love the world and cool names and everything! Love the fake French accent for murph and literally all of Emily's ideas. I stopped this in the middle because Emily mentioned naming her character Boudicca and that made me so excited i nearly dropped my phone! That's one of my fave historical people ever! I fully endorse that name (but i know any she picks will be amazing). I paused before hearing Caldwell's picks but psy knight was floated and that sounds awesome! Anyway much respect to Jake for jumping into dming for the first time in a recorded session! I know you'll do great! You're smart, have experience with the game and have great support!

Tara

OMG!!!!! It’s happening!!!!!!!

Dominique Kupersmith

So psyched for Cake's DM Debut! I hope it goes longer than 3 episodes. I've been a longtime short rest/mixed bag listener, but I never post- I felt like I had to, in order to let the 2 Crew know that after Jake's campaign we NEED more Twilight Sanctorum aka Twanc. Like, a full Twanc campaign please.

Good Sir James

I'm soooo freaking excited!!!

Audrey S

Don't listen to the haters we love the accents!

Glenn Dowdle

Hard agree! I’m from the midlands and Callie’s brummie accent gave me so much joy!

Ro

This is going to be a real banger, can't wait!

Gramm

French!

Mitchell Scheibe

Yeeeees

I Love Not Finishing My Sentences

YES!! I've been wanting Jake to take up the DM's chair for so long, he's going to be amazing

Matt Kilsby

Drop that map in the pat(reon feed)

k.allen

As a lover of big Galomphs, Woodpile is my hope

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

Wait till you find out capitalism is just feudalism with extra steps!

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

RELEASE THE CONTINENT DRAWING!

DM Joe

Omg the way I squealed when I saw this. About to listen! 🙌🙌

BriLeigh Spilde

Sunless Citadel was one of the very first adventures I ran as a DM. Can't hear Jake's take on it!

Rob H.

Please do the French accent murph

Aaron Sterne

Boudica! A celtic British national hero who fought against Roman occupation after her daughters were mistreated!

ACK

Low fantasy is probably my favorite subgenre of fantasy. I've been so excited for this since Jake first mentioned wanting to DM something in the genre. Jake's grown so much as a DnD player and creator since the start of NADDPOD, I'm sure you'll do an amazing job bailiff!

Cass Cassillas

Whoa! I'm so excited for this -- and Jake, you're going to do great! You've got a supportive table and a super cool world, both of which are key ingredients to a good time. :)

drmimms

Alright. The moment I’m done Yumi and the Nightmares Painter, I’m starting Bright Sword. Convinced!

A. Lee. S

I think a 3-shot (or so) is a perfect place to play with an accent for Disenchanted vaguely-Frenchman, because if it's annoying, we don't have to live with it for long! We've heard "quiet gruff boy" lots of times. It's Vaguely Frenchman's time to shine.

Chelsea

I’m begging on my hands and knees for Murph to do the “French” accent. Also, your world sounds amazing Jake you’re going to do great! Cannot wait.

Craig Weatherhead

Now I need to see this map

lukekinn

Dungeon Bro Jake?

Nic Stull

I am beyond hyped, we better get to see that map at some point!

ACK

Yassssssss!!!!!!

Rotem Cohen

I just wanna say, I’ve been listening since day one. Naddpod is the reason I became a DM in the first place and I’m overjoyed to see the great Jakester Von Jakiepoo take the mantel! You’ll do fantastic Jake, I can’t wait ♥️

Mr.Weinerson

YESSSSS OMG FINALLY JAKE DM!!!!!

Rain

5.5, the system so good D&D Beyond needs to trick you into using it. I just feel like they rushed it out without their usual standard of balancing and care because their CEO needed to show a provable bump in merchandise sales for this quarter.

AutoReroll

Holy crap, I'm so excited to hear him run this!

Pavel Lishin

For variable initiative off of a set number, steal the mechanic from Feng Shui where you have a positive die and a negative die. If they're even your init is the static value, otherwise it goes up or down as they indicate. Pick the relevant dice based on the amount of swing you desire.

Matthew Sands

As a French person Emily did fine with her French-like accent. She avoided the annoying pitfalls - The "hon hon hon". No idea where that comes from, never heard anyone laugh like that. - Inserting some les mots français in the middle. People don't speak like that when doing foreign languages. - The weird aggressive tone Murph did in this (otherwise very funny) old video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDHDM7PfyYs I mean weird aggressive people might talk like that, but they'll be seen as lunatics. Your "there is no honor in mudtown" sounded good I thought! About chivalry being related to horses that's spot on. Horse in Cheval in French, so it's not hard to see the etymology.

Garga Lenoir

Our prayers have been answered! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼, thank you Babayaga

Jack Malizia

Jake was waiting 30 whole minutes for that veto 😂 I felt it in my bones.

CatenarySun

I agree, Jork will do great!!

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

I feel you about 5.5, Still just feels icky and I don't trust WOTC to not pull the same shit as before ... 😒🤨

TheloniousPunkyBrewster

Woah steel hawk is awesome. I wanna play that

Jackmirfield

I can't wait to gorge on this during my shift!!!

Blaize Gordon

Oh wow I didn’t know there was a fighter subclass called DM

Joke Hat

If this is a knight heavy campaign I beg on my hands and knees for the crew to realise that the "Sir" goes with the FIRST NAME, not the surname!

Axel Ottel

@caldwell Hudson is a very strong last name Lolol

Ian Hudson

Hell yeah Jake! This is gonna kick ass and you’re gonna do great

Ian Hudson

400+ comments of pure excitement for Jake and Murph's "French" accent. Don't pander to the haters! We know all of you will do a brilliant job!

Sophie Buijsen

JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE

Justin J Francis

Release the map! But seriously my favorite thing about NADDPOD has been the storytelling. Jake’s been a natural since the beginning. And mastering the mechanics will come in time. So excited to see them playing this world!

Marley McDonough

"No one holds wood better than you, Woodpile!" Disagree, we also have the Horny Knight

PolarityBear

Kinda excited for this :) Hope Jake does well.. Still hoping for some pathfinder eventually though.

Been waiting so long for this! Jake if you'd like some good reading on magic left the world and is now returning, check out Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, it's a great book that covers an alt history around the Napoleonic war where magic is returning to the world.

Joe McGowan

Amazing!!! Jake is gonna kill it im so hype

Madison

So hyped

Peydon Bush

I AM SO EXCITED TO LISTEN TO THE DM PAPA JAKE

Kitt

Release the Frink cut

Daniel Postlethwaite

The worldbuilding sounds incredible from Jake and he should be more confident in the great work he’s done (ik its hard)- wet dream batman better be a pc

Transfemmes4murph

Awesome, so sstoked! Check out Hereward the Wake for boggy robin hood. Also, for me confidence is key for accents . The character isn't doing an accent, that's just how they talk. If you're cast, you have to do something, so it's just got to be something you can do with no self consciousness regardless of accuracy. That's my approach, I'm a full time voice actor, might not be right but it makes sense to me and is a helpful mantra.

Harry Frost

So hype for this one! Bro Master Jake is going to kill it

Justin Lust

Silver sands, and you’re a new dad Jake. Did pulled that from the Julia Donaldson kids book “the singing mermaid” if you did fantastic choice. If you didn’t pick it up, Gemma will love it

John Hubbard

No fucking way!!

SnorriFreyr

I haven't even listened yet but I need to make it known how ecstatic I am to hear Jake DM

Angel

JAMPAIGN JAMPAIGN JAMPAIGN!

Danny

Very happily feasting on Jakeout for this one!!!

Proopypants

Happy to become a subscriber shortly before the arrival of DM Jake. This mini campaign will be dope and, please, do as many funny accents as you wish.

Smol

Love this whole thing. Not really that pumped about 5.5e if I'm going to be honest. But I am SO excited to hear Jake's DM style!

AutoReroll

I’m soooo excited about this! I love how much thought Jake put into this world already!! 🫶

Nova

I agree - y’alls accents have literally never done anything but delight me!

Nova

I'm desperate for Murph to do his French accent!

JR Lonergan

Saw the notification for this episode and started barking like a damn dog

Ben Herman

I'm excited for this!! I heard that if he does a good job, we might even get to see jake as a guest on 8-bit book club this year!

snakejanders

Map map map!

Balnor’s Best Friend - Steve

A magic scholar would be fun. Not someone who knows magic, but their mission is to prove/disprove the existence of magic, past or present

Logan Adams

MURPH THE FRENCH RAVENMASTER

Erik Moser

So pumped for Jake to shine ✨️ 🙌

Matthew Clark

Bog Iron was definitely a think a high school friend talked about wanting to search for an get into smithing

Captain Morgan Pirate Wizard

JAMPAIGN IS HERE AND REAL

Mars

Let’s go Jalk!!

filofilo

You got this Jake! I’m so excited.

Flying Horseduck

For my two cents worth, fuck the hater Murph. Do whatever accent you feel like. It's y'all's show and game. We're privileged to get to listen to it. If people are rowdy about an accent choice they can go get a PhD in regional accents and fuck themselves with the diploma.

Jocelyne Moore

Whooooo! I haven’t had time to listen to it, but I’m super excited!

Peter S.

So excited, time for Jake to shine!

A

This is possibly the most excited I’ve been for an episode

Gnome sympathisants 420

RELEASE THE FRENCH MURPH CUT! I am so excited for this campaign!!!

Virginia Phelps

Jake, you're gonna make such an amazing world. I'm already excited!

Zanna

Lowkey Boggy Roger sounds awesome, pls post the map Jork!

Felix

This notification came right after my 12 year old husky passed away. I've been a fan of Jake and Amir for about 14 years and a patron subscriber of NADDPOD for about 2 years, so this is some much needed news. Love you all.

Drew Fugate

I can’t wait to see what you do Jelk

Hashtaggles

Happy for and proud of you Jake. The start of something great for you, and therefore us. :)

Cody Zimmer

Holy shit this is epic. We all could taste the day Jake finally put on the DM apron got cooking! Based on the limited info he gave, Jake’s world sounds EERILY similar to the world in the campaign I run! Which makes me want to talk about new ideas with him! 🤙🤙🤙

Brandon Wiens

Kick ass, DM Jake! This sounds so fun!

Katie P.

Haven’t listened to the episode yet, but the notion of Jake dming is so heartwarming omg!!!!

Kid Chaos, harbinger of the myth times

Jake! I got chills when you talked about the Age of Stories and the reasons it’s called that, so excited about your world building.

sarfs

Never thought I’d live to see the day.

TwoPuppetsTTV

Tip for Murph: "hon hon hon".

Neil Dutton

PROUD OF YOU JAKE! YOUR GONNA KILL IT!!!!

Calic Tolentino

OMG OMG OMG! Called it! Good luck dming jake!

Nitzan Harel

JAKE!! I was just wondering if we’d ever see Jake behind the screen and HERE WE ARE!!!

brookieblue

oh VERY good

Elizabeth Gunn

My therapist is insisting that I "increase my tolerance for positive affect" because apparently all good things come to an end, sooo I guess I have to listen to it. For the therapy.

Elizabeth Gunn

You and me, Jean, we'll meet the haters under a bridge with a big stick.

Elizabeth Gunn

I'm still waitin on that sumbitch to read some more Animorphs. I need him and Emily to reckon with the horrors that I did as an eleven year old.

Elizabeth Gunn

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS THIS IS SO EXCITING! You're gonna rock it, Jake, can't wait!

Elizabeth Gunn

Based on the character ideas I feel like a good name could be the disgraced order

DragonNerd

Congratulations I think his name is John

Papa Taylor

This is the best gift of the year!

Marc

Grass

So excited for 3 Batmans and for GM JAKE!!!

Walker Thurman

EmperorGreed

I love hearing people's world building creative processes! It's always fascinating seeing aspects that mean the most to the inspiration. This sounds amazing!

Myka

Release the map!!!!!

GGCoopie

Drop the map pls

Muqtadaa Miandara

I am so psyched for you Jake. You have come so far from those early days!!! Can’t wait!

keysi ellle

jaxolotl

Oh my god YES! After years of waiting we've finally got one of Jakes many promises to do a thing (Play The Witcher, be a cake guy, read Animorphs, etc.) Excited for this year of NADDPod!

Vaelyhn

Me too! I’m glowing with parental affection rn

The Witch of Ways and Means

why can't you use 2024 fighter with 2014 eldritch knight? (i mean why would you want to) but my point is why restrict yourself? play how you want to play

Mac

i was gonna say that i'm proud of jake for being the first guest DM of naddpod, but i forgot that jasper william cartwright ran a 2 (3?) shot. beat him to the punch xD

Mac

Kirsten Coffman

Ahmad Al-mousawi

Jake you're going to kill it!

Alex Cartwright

I’m so proud of you jake

scott kennedy

I hope the boggy buds live

Jonathan

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS THIS IS SO CUTE

Cristian

You guys really should stop paying attention to haters, the number of people who will love the things you do is aways greater, at this point is making me complain about you being afraid of haters complaining!

Jean

do the weird classes so i can live vicariously through you

SMG

I was so hoping Jake would do this eventually. He’s going to do great! If nothing else it’ll be fun and humorous. Regardless he’ll do great!

Jordan Quandt

Murph please do the french dragoon

Andres Romero

it'd be cool if mudtown was pronounced like "mud ton" kind of like how Melbourne is pronounced as "melbin" or just generally the way the pronunciation morphs

Aiyana

Would be so funny if jake some how tpk’s them

marshal giles

I can't wait to see how Jake DMs!

Glenn Dowdle

JAKE MODE JAKE MODE

Keith Baynham

As a french-canadian, I would love to have this accent

Lucas

There is no honor in mudtown is my next tattoo

Jonathan

The way I shut everything off in my house so I could sit and fully listen 😅🤗

A. Lee. S

Murph, please do the Frink voice!!! We love it!

Courtney F.

Came to say the same! I would LOVE to hear the Murph Frink voice!!

Courtney F.

I was like "how is murph getting in the hot seat so soon again for a February campaign?" but now I know! very exciting!

Aiyana

But he is thinking about it as a distant possibility

Geraint

I'M SO EXCITED

Stevi Weber

Gasped when I saw Jake was DMing, u got this !!!!

Ollie

A yuncle, if you will

Geraint

You’re gonna knock this out of the park, Jake. I believe in you!

James Keller

So stoked for this campaign and world!!!!

Kerry

I’m so so so PUMPED for this

James Keller

Tucker please, let Jake have this tiny w

Geraint

Humbly voting for Murph to use his Not French accent for his new character! Love the vibes of a grumpy and secretly tender hearted Not Frenchman who has turned his back on idealism.

Anna Sun

Thankfully I think he's gonna be equal parts thrilled and terrified when it happens 😆

Geraint

All of their potential characters sound incredible.

Rebecca Neal

We got Jake as a dm before he got into cake. Big time!

austinoxner

omg caldwell's character pitches feel so souls game-coded with the grungy humour and the naming style the idea of a dude just taking the whole rock with the sword is absolutely hilarious LOL but omg boggy buds and his voice is so good XDD

dani

Unbelievably excited for Jake to DM! He is literally how I felt when I started DMing and I’m still very new lol

Matthew

My first campaign I ran a custom version of the Sunless Citadel! You’re gonna do great!!

zarratm

SO AMPED!!! This sounds absolutely sick Jake, can't wait 🤩🤩🤩

Geraint

I'm very excited to see what Jake puts together

Evem

Omg this is so exciting! We’re all cheering you on Jake and your world sounds so so rad

Nicole Jordan

You’re gonna do great Jake!

Matthew Silverstein

DO THE ACCENT MURPH YOU COWARD

L Benni

YES JAKE, YES

Kyle Veach

Once a guest on 8-Bit Book Club, now a DM. Dreams really do come true.

Michael Singer

Major character arc for Jake let's go

Gavin French

Ellie P

I am haunted by the thought that knights was just soldier-Uber

tarvis frogfriend

I gotta see the map

Jonathan

YEAAAH GO JAKE

Kyle Morley

i hope he’ll be on eight bit book club someday

Ellen Stanfill

I've been wanting this since Jake said he DM'd for his cousins or nieces or whoever it was.

Darion Aronson

So excited!! You got this buddies!!

itsellie

The noise I made when I saw the title was inhuman

Ashton Johnson

murph!! if the deciding factor of whether or not you try a french-ish accent is the potential rude comments then please know there's plenty of us who 1. dont give a shit how accurate it is and 2. wholly support you trying new things and expanding your range!!!! a kinda french romantic disillusioned bird-loving ex-knight would be awesome!!!!!!!!

dani

THE WAY I SCREAMED IN EXCITEMENT!!!! JAKE!!!

Adam Sutton

Jake’s DM’ing? Nice!

MrDoubleOmeg

GO JAKE GO JAKE!

Flannelfriend

Boggy Rodger is starting from zero.

Dave 3D Art

I'm sure someone may have said it already, but it's worth mentioning that 2014 subclasses are still compatible with 2024 rules so long as the subclass hasn't been replaced in the 2024 books. So you can't use the 2024 Fighter with the 2014 Eldritch Knight, because a 2024 Eldritch Knight exists.

Lonestar

Caldwell said so many amazing ideas then I was really surprised when everyone was really into the bog guy

Maximus Awesomeness

so excited!!! jake, you’re going to do amazing!

Erin G

Everyone is so excited in these comments!! I hope Jake isn't feeling too much pressure, we just wanna support <3

Ev

It is soooo much fun hearing Jake get excited about world building and making the map!!

emilythecoffeewench

Nick Lerche

Macon Leigh

Austyn Donoho

oh my god i'm fucking losing it at emily's horny knight she fucking GETS IT LMAO between this and one of her pitches for her critrole character, the guy who yearned to be devoured by his diety or smth, they cater to such a specific type of taste in comedic horniness that is so up my alley LMAO emily u are so fucking funny never let anyone tell you otherwise oh my god

dani

Shout out to Jake! He’s gonna do great! It’s a shame that he does contractually have to resign from being the Bailiff. What a weird rule 🥲

Raymond G

Murph should give his new character the Roy Kent voice

Matt Gustavson

2025: Jake’s not into cake but he certainly DM’s

Gecko Extraodinare

Jake don’t be so nervous man. You’ve played high level D&D for nearly seven years and you’re an accomplished actor/writer/director. You’ve got way more experience than most new DMs plus you’re playing with your buds. Any rules issues they can help you out with so just focus on having fun!

Kris Barnes

Adam D Knetsch

NEVER BEEN SO PUMPED. I just listened to an old ep where Jake says he thinks he'll DM before 2022 or something and I was like man I hope he still wants to do it sometime. So psyched!

Josh Marshall

Awesome! I hope Jake really isn’t afraid to give his NPC’s the backbone to stand up to the undoubtedly wacky PC’s. Firm NPC’s give the story stakes and make the jokes funnier, as opposed to NPC’s who are always agreeable and ignore mistakes.

Amanda K.

Not caught up yet… But so excited to eventually hear your ideas and world, Jake!! Love to you all!
