naddpod - C3 Hearthside Questions!

This is more for Jake and Calder, how do you find time and space to play D&D while parenting toddlers/babies? Let alone record the episodes, make the art, do the livestream, tour, ect.

Meg Kopacki

2024-12-26 21:44:40 +0000 UTC

If you could play a campaign as one of the C3 NPCs, who would you choose? Only rule is not everyone can choose Gunk.

PaperMoonMan

2024-12-26 20:27:20 +0000 UTC

what sun, moon, and rising would you assign yourself only using naddpod characters? any campaign ofc

chlo!

2024-12-26 19:55:57 +0000 UTC

Hey gang! If you could have a liquid come out of your index fingers on demand, what liquid would it be and why? You can only pick one.

Is Murph going to DM

Corey Friesen

2024-12-26 19:18:57 +0000 UTC

what is campaign 4 going to be like 👍 👌 🤔

Corey Friesen

2024-12-26 19:11:50 +0000 UTC

Campaign 4, would Emily be open to DMing? Or maybe an interlude campaign of like 10-15 eps? Murph kills it in these arrangements too, as a PC! Hot Boy Summer and Twilight Sanctorum are some of the best content NADDPOD has done, IMO

Nick Johnson

2024-12-26 17:40:32 +0000 UTC

I hope I'm not too late! I have a question for our DMs. I recently ran my 2nd One Shot- 2nd time dming! And I found it hard to keep the stakes up and tension going. What tips do you have to light a fire under your player's asses and to make it all interesting without continuously asking for saves for things?

She also had high praise for “The Priory of the Orange Tree”

BomVenusaur

2024-12-26 14:45:42 +0000 UTC

Maybe a Campaign 3 quiz show??

Jack Malizia

2024-12-26 14:43:19 +0000 UTC

Question: Murph, you used mentioned doing shorter arcs after C3. What length should we be expecting going forward? Are there any thoughts on having small one/two shots focused on different characters? Maybe have them even link together? holding palms out with hands opening and closing Also, more Trinyvale pleeeeease!!

Anand Gaitonde

2024-12-26 12:06:20 +0000 UTC

Question for Murph Emily and Caldwell (If Jake grew a backbone and tried to DM he would be included) when designing villains are there things/events in real life that you draw from? I thought the rise of Alexandrite encountering Oberons prohecy was a super interesting way to think about the rise of AI against the backdrop of the current climate crisis, but maybe that's me reading too much in to it. Anyway hate the show never listened.

Conor

2024-12-26 09:11:22 +0000 UTC

As C3 is wrapped, I decided to play Final Fantasy XII for the first time (the remake) and I was hoping to hear the Two Crew's opinion on the great Tifa vs. Aerith debate!

Shawn Harrison

2024-12-26 06:53:54 +0000 UTC

What’s coming up next for naddpod???

Renee Wild

2024-12-26 04:10:54 +0000 UTC

For everyone ! Which character voice is your favorite / the most fun to do, also what are your methods in deciding what type of voice or accent to do for each character? Happy hoglidays y’all

Jordan Brockman

2024-12-26 02:08:50 +0000 UTC

Gunk. Did being in the fey wild change his development or just the imagination of the PCs? Also did the PCs find a way to slow his aging so he wouldn't be dead of old age in a month? They seemed very concerned about that.

DefyAllLogic

2024-12-26 01:49:05 +0000 UTC

Jake the beef cake: Can you list the 3rd spells you took for Calder? I was hoping to see if Calder was going to throw an ice ball at Jovyre.

EternalJ

2024-12-25 23:29:08 +0000 UTC

Hello! Thank you all for another season of magic and beauty! A question for Murph: When did you know that the stars & sky would play a huge part in the campaign? Did you have the Serpent Queen locked and loaded before Callie made the star map, or maybe was she inspired by that?

Samn DS

2024-12-25 19:27:45 +0000 UTC

Can we have a mini campaign at Albie’s magic school? The quest of the truly haunted bathroom.

sara levene

2024-12-25 15:57:25 +0000 UTC

Can you tell us what changed Jovyre between where we left her in campaign 1 to what happened in campaign 3?

sara levene

2024-12-25 15:53:25 +0000 UTC

Will we ever see a Charbin x Pendergreens sidequest, and if so, will any of our beloved C1 or C3 PCs be there to witness the ensuing debauchery?

Haley Amplo

2024-12-25 15:43:37 +0000 UTC

If someone remembers additional please comment! • Jade city • Adventures of Amina Alzeraphie • Invisible Cities (by Atalo Kalvino) • Black tongue thief • Bear and the Nightingale • Nettle and Bone

Merry hogladays and may the grinch not take you this night!! Jake, would you be interested in playing a spellcaster for next campaign?

A Murph Question: Is Glen/Sawyer's mother Sparilla, Cooter's high elf wife (now probably ex wife) ?

2024-12-25 13:41:13 +0000 UTC

Yes, please share!

The Wizard Spring

2024-12-25 12:36:57 +0000 UTC

If you could play any npc, known or unknown, in Bahumia, would you play?

The Wizard Spring

2024-12-25 12:35:53 +0000 UTC

A question for Murph: given that it's important to keep big plot points a secret from the PCs (including your wife!), is there anyone else you bounce ideas off of? Or are you comfortable making choices like ending Alexandrite in Frostwind without getting any feedback? Thanks, gang. A very happy hoglidays to you, two crew!

Nova

2024-12-25 08:25:45 +0000 UTC

Hey gang! I was wondering if you guys ever have DnD related dreams, specifically if you have dreams from the pov of your character/s and if so which one? I adore the pod, running into Murph on the street before your anniversary show last september was a highlight of my life ♡

I would love that list if you don't mind sharing it!

2024-12-25 05:30:10 +0000 UTC

Hey Crew! Twilight Sanctorum parodies classic noir stories, Hot Boy Summer draws from classic 90’s-00’s stoner comedies, but are there any other film or book genres you see yourselves doing for mini campaigns in the future? A western in Shadowfell, a James Bond-style secret agent heist, etc.?

Hunter Kerns

2024-12-25 05:04:45 +0000 UTC

Thank you all for doing these, it’s a true gift during the hoglidays! I was re-listening to an old heart side chat from 2018 and was surprised to hear Emily say she was uncomfortable with crying while roleplaying. I was curious to hear if and how this has changed as you all have developed more emotionally complex characters and narratives over the last 6 years. Are there any scenes you wish that you’d have pushed harder on or pulled back from? Murph, how to you manage tone setting to prep yourself and PCs for more charged scenes?

Joely

2024-12-25 04:10:26 +0000 UTC

How did everyone feel about their classes/subclass choices at the end? Any features you wish you could have gone a few more levels for?

Patrick Kunkel

2024-12-25 03:34:08 +0000 UTC

Can Emily make a christmas album? Or just more music she's amazing

Jack

2024-12-25 02:37:17 +0000 UTC

Not about C3, but: I've been compiling a list of all the books Emily has mentioned, do you guys have any genres you like, or favorite books you read recently? P.S. I started NADDPOD beginning of this year, and am finishing campaign 3!

OddlySpecific

2024-12-25 02:34:07 +0000 UTC

THIS ISNT RELATED TO C3 BUT PLEASE YOU GUYS MUST KNOW THAT A PERUVIAN POLICE OFFICER DRESSED AS THE GRINCH JUST LED A DRUG BUST

OrangeCat

2024-12-25 02:05:57 +0000 UTC

Murph-- what was behind the mists for duck team in Aryox's prophecy room!

han!!

2024-12-25 02:00:14 +0000 UTC

Happy Hoglidays everybody! One of my favorite favorite favorite mixed bags is the tub brisket character workshop. I was wondering if you guys had plans to run that as a one shot at any point, or if that’s too far in the past ATP… have a Very Merry and congrats on the end of C3!

Devon Isakson

2024-12-24 21:57:51 +0000 UTC

The question on everyone’s mind

derek howard

2024-12-24 21:40:38 +0000 UTC

If you were a tree, what tree would you be? (Any living or fictional tree, I'm not picky)

The Wizard Spring

2024-12-24 21:34:39 +0000 UTC

To Emily: Your music is so beautiful and you’re an amazing artist. I’m always impressed with the songs you put out. Do any of the crew help you with your music? Does anyone help you with editing, lyrics, or feedback? Thank you all for your amazing story telling. Happy Hoglidays, and a Sappy New Year to you all.

Like a bat out of The 9 Hells I’ll be gone when the morning comes

2024-12-24 21:24:44 +0000 UTC

Relistening to the C3 finale and every time Murph describes the haze clearing from Marigold’s eyes, I think of the How to Train Your Dragon movie when Toothless is being mind controlled and his pupils change. Anyways, what’s y’all’s favorite dragon from the How to Train Your Dragon series?

ash r.

2024-12-24 21:23:59 +0000 UTC

I had the same thought but they got the bits and it satisfied their objective enough for them to go off with the angry demigoddess lady and trashcan. But I can't recall for sure if Murph mentioned it during the end of the episode or during the short rest.

DefyAllLogic

He’s too scared to address this

TwoPuppetsTTV

2024-12-24 18:48:01 +0000 UTC

Murph, were there any actions Duck Team did in the first encounter with Alexandrite that drastically changed what you had planned? Is there anything they could have done differently that would have changed things drastically?

CommodoreBlue

2024-12-24 18:43:54 +0000 UTC

What are moments from the first 15 to 20 episodes that you look back on fondly? For me, Calder saying “you all saw that, she fell,” when Petunia Glenbottle was pushed down the stairs is one of the funniest moments of the campaign.

CommodoreBlue

2024-12-24 18:42:31 +0000 UTC

To Murph, Congratulations on three campaigns in the books! After years of work behind the screen, what is the major DM lesson/takeaway from each campaign that you use for future stories?

Oppa SJ Style

2024-12-24 18:16:51 +0000 UTC

Adding to the music question bc emily said she’s releasing b-sides - yay!! Are there plans to release the instrumentals??

Lexi loves the 2 crew!

2024-12-24 18:01:09 +0000 UTC

What are some other tropes that you would do for Hot Boy Summer if you couldn’t play your current characters? Emily what would be the character you would play as a PC in hot boy summer?

Victor T (Balnor's Boy)

2024-12-24 17:56:14 +0000 UTC

If you could add a filler arc to C3 to explore more character relationships, what would it be?

David Campbell

2024-12-24 16:44:01 +0000 UTC

If you were to do a Nannerfly Effect tour for C3, what moments would each of you most like to revisit?

2024-12-24 16:31:30 +0000 UTC

For everyone: was there an actual real possibility that the duck team could have lost?

zarratm

2024-12-24 15:27:07 +0000 UTC

Hey Jake! Sorry this isn’t a C3 question, but my wife and I just watched Die Hard for the first time and we have an urgent question: Why would Hans Grüber, who is portrayed as very clever and calculating, expect that his plan had any chance of success? His method of escape was just a van parked underneath a building surrounded by cops and FBI (who he wanted to be there). As the resident Die Hard expert, we hoped you could shed some light on this issue for us!

Ford

2024-12-24 15:26:39 +0000 UTC

For Jake: was there a universe where Calder takes the deal with Jovier to not swing his sword in the darkness?

zarratm

2024-12-24 15:26:23 +0000 UTC

For Shmemily: Your bard/paladin build is amazing. If you could come up for a hybrid name of the build, what would you call it?

Austin Wiggin

2024-12-24 15:13:37 +0000 UTC

For Caldwell: Where would you like to see Albin and Saul's magic school be built?

Austin Wiggin

2024-12-24 15:11:15 +0000 UTC

For Jake: Did you get to play enough of Calder? I'm relistening to C3 and when Calder is stuck in the helm for a few episodes I really miss him!

Austin Wiggin

2024-12-24 15:10:34 +0000 UTC

Omg end of the year end of c3! Feelings are intense rn. Q for Murph: what was your decision behind setting the elven city of Sunaeir in the campaign? Everything felt like it needed to be there, but I was curious about the choice of that over something more connected to the characters, like MarionGate or Moonstone (foe the bulliwags)

Austin Wiggin

2024-12-24 15:08:47 +0000 UTC

happy hoglidays!! first q is for murph: murph did u know ur instagram handle isn’t actually @chmurph so you aren’t actually “@chmurph is me”? second actual c3 q is: which PC and NPCs of the campaign are most likely to wear crocs?

stream eaxford’s doomsday diaries on spotify

2024-12-24 14:54:24 +0000 UTC

I noticed a lot of similarities from the restoration of the feywild to the aboriginal Dreamtime creation story, the rainbow serpent! Did the idea of the serpents come from this story, if not, how did they come to be?

2024-12-24 14:42:58 +0000 UTC

does murph play rocket league or mayhap watch the esport? if y to the first q, what rank are you brother? ggs y’all

Kyle Coad

2024-12-24 14:24:23 +0000 UTC

What would happen if Moonshine or Beverly joined Duck Team instead of Hardwon? How would that go? What did Hardwon tell Moonshine and Beverly about Duck Team once he was back to the Astral Plane? (I know they’re being sieged but that had never stopped them from talking about whatever)

What are the things you’re most excited about doing next on naddpod?

Rotem Cohen

2024-12-24 13:04:47 +0000 UTC

Question for Murph: did you have an ending in mind when the campaign began? Did you see Alexandrite being the ending BBEG or did you always assume there was something else coming? PS You guys are great!

Bryan A

2024-12-24 12:59:01 +0000 UTC

q for the rat with veneers, what elements are most important to consider for a final arc/session, and how do you make it feel like it’s “enough”? My 2 year campaign is coming to an end and I’m riding the struggle bus

Edward Smith

2024-12-24 10:09:32 +0000 UTC

During the final battle Queen Jovyre’s spell casting really made me wish I was playing a high lvl wizard/sorcerer. How did you pick out the spells for her? Did she have more spells that we didn’t see?

Li I

2024-12-24 09:28:35 +0000 UTC

You’ve grown so much in this past year and experienced new playstyles, stories, and characters… so what has that growth taught you about your approach to storytelling and role-playing? How have these experiences shaped the way you view your characters and the world that has been created?

As future campaign comes will become shorter forms, who are your wishlist for guest players? maybe even, a guess DM.

Calic Tolentino

2024-12-24 04:55:17 +0000 UTC

Murph, What advice would you have for a beginner dm who dreams of writing a module? Do you think it’s best to start with a module, a homemade story within the premade world, or a homemade setting for someone’s first campaign? (Love the show and am so proud to say I am all caught up on campaigns, hot boy summer, and trinnyvale, mixed bags here I come!)

Just J

2024-12-24 04:10:59 +0000 UTC

What would your titles be as C4's Knights of the Prawn Table? And Murph, will they be pulling a lobster claw from a clamshell?

localhoney_

2024-12-24 03:55:57 +0000 UTC

How have the past characters you've played (Naddpod, D20, or elsewhere) shaped your play in now? What did your past characters teach you about the way you strategize or improvise?

What up, 2 crew! Everyone is wondering where y’all are going next for campaign settings. Instead of leaving it opened ended, I’m going to list several settings/themed and y’all can do yes/no or one word reactions or discuss each one. Dealer’s choice! Ready? - Wild West - Whoville - Space (not necessarily Star Wars themed unless it’s podracing focused of course) - Treasure hunting? (I.e. Indiana jones / uncharted) - Myst lol - Ski chalet (hot boy summer) Big fan of 8 Bit Book Club, I heard that there’s this guy Joaquin Hurwizo who’d really like to guest on it

Cord

2024-12-24 03:06:07 +0000 UTC

For all, what is your ideal campaign setting/genre?

tth

2024-12-24 02:37:22 +0000 UTC

Shorter campaigns means grinding through a lot of characters. Will you mostly make new characters for new campaigns, or will we see many familiar faces a la the Rotating Heroes podcast?

Donny

2024-12-24 02:30:25 +0000 UTC

Q for Murph: What are your ideas for the future of expanding NADDPOD? Do you want to do some more guest DMs? Bring in more guest players? I know you’ve said you want to do shorter campaigns going forward, curious if you have other ideas.

mason enfinger

2024-12-24 02:30:22 +0000 UTC

For Emily: what was your writing process like for the TWO beautiful campaign ending songs?

Kelly Berg

2024-12-24 02:27:33 +0000 UTC

One character (PC or NPC) is replaced by the Grinch and is thrust into the GCU (Grinch Cinematic Universe). How would the Grinch change the narrative in that position and how would the character do in the GCU? Happy Hoglidays & love you guys lots <3

2024-12-24 02:12:10 +0000 UTC

After three campaigns whose PC would come out on top in a tournament ark? (If Murphy feels left out he has Jens, Mac and Frankie)

Jake Of No Trades

2024-12-24 02:02:27 +0000 UTC

Murph: What an incredibly juicy tease when Jovyre starting warning Duck Team about the threat of rogue gods! What more, if anything, are you willing to say about what the rogue gods (and perhaps also the Band of Boobs) are up to out on the Astral Plane? Or was Jovyre just lying about all that the whole time?

Gerald Taylor

2024-12-24 02:01:48 +0000 UTC

i’d love to hear emily talk about about her process of writing the songs we heard in the finale! i love them so so much! <3

Elana Kadish

2024-12-24 01:57:45 +0000 UTC

In campaign one, Jovyre was pretty chill. What made you decide to make her the big bad? Did taking on the winter crown warp her to make her more evil?

Howdy yall. Did the emotional and personal growth in the personality of your characters impact your own personal lives? Have a happy Hoglidays!!! Merry Crickmas!!!

Bryce Hester

2024-12-24 01:45:51 +0000 UTC

Murph! If you got the chance to make your own character in your own world for this campaign, what kind of character do you think you would have made?

Magestain

2024-12-24 01:42:14 +0000 UTC

Hello and Happy Sonickkah! Did everyone know about the time jump epilogue ahead of time or did Murph spring that on yall? Either way beautiful ending to an amazing story!

LaRockin’

2024-12-24 01:39:27 +0000 UTC

What did you expect for your characters at the start of the campaign in terms of growth and how different did they end up being from what you thought?

MAH DICK FELL OFF

2024-12-24 01:31:46 +0000 UTC

For Murph, what part of the campaign took the most planning and for everyone else what arc did you most think about your character outside of sessions?

2024-12-24 01:31:33 +0000 UTC

What happened to Beatrix Netherin after the crash? She kinda started half (a third? )of this...

How do you think the Trinyvale Triplets would have reacted if instead of vacationing in Moonstone circa campaign 1, they ended up in Ezry, 200 years later for the start of campaign 3?

Why did Swag die? I was confused if it was because of a choice or dice roll or because Sol chose one path instead of another. It happens kind of off screen so I felt like it was because there was a missed opportunity to save him but I couldn't put it together as I was listening.

I'd really like to know two big things! One is if we will get another big campaign eventually? The 3 so far have been absolutely amazing and while I've also loved all the short form I'd miss the epic Murphy magic. 2: is there a reason we get less guests lately? Jabari the safari etc have been greatly missed

em, what is your process like for writing such emotionally involved, poignant campaign music ? (i am a huge fan and your music has made me tear up twice this campaign )

If the party's from all 3 campaigns were to be mixed up and dealt out into new groups, which would would drive Murph insane first.

Campaign 4: The Multiverse of Mavrus

shakusky

2024-12-24 00:25:03 +0000 UTC

When C3 was first being teased - Murph mentioned that Mothership was going to be called “Allan Inc” (pronounced like Alanis from campaign 1). What was the reason for that change? I secretly thought there would be a big twist that Alanis was responsible for Mothership and the name was changed to avoid the spoiler early on.

Happy Hoglidays 2 Crew! If you had to pick your favorite moment from this campaign that was initiated by/centered around one of your fellow PCs, what would it be?

2024-12-24 00:04:36 +0000 UTC

Everyone: Thoughts on worst/best multiversal teamups in a theoretical, original live show format? Obviously similar to, but legally distinct from, another d&d property's recent live show format. I'd personally pay good money to see Caldwell DM Jens/Cinnamon/Caulder fighting BBEG Albin.

If our beloved baliff is willing to talk about it, what's going on with Jake's low-fantasy campaign? Could we expect to see his debut behind the DM screen soon?

Cass Cassillas

2024-12-23 23:55:07 +0000 UTC

It seems like there are a lot of buds that could come from this campaign! From a potential band of boobs in space adventure, to a look at Gunks escapades with his shrimp knight companions, an exploration of the changed landscapes of Bahumia, and of course to duck teams next adventure set up at the end! Is there anything you guys are most excited by or interested in exploring?

2024-12-23 23:36:07 +0000 UTC

Hello to truly my favourite discovery of the last year; especially Emily. My question is for each of you, if there was one thing about C3 you could change (whether a character choice made or plot point) what would it be & why? I always wonder what you'd look back on the most after a campaign like this. Also will you come back to these characters for one shots in the future?

gertie

2024-12-23 23:35:06 +0000 UTC

Emily, can you please put your original music on Bandcamp in addition to the other streaming services?

2024-12-23 23:12:06 +0000 UTC

Hey, Two Crew. I have no questions. I just wanted you guys to know that over the past year I’ve had the worst anxiety and panic attacks I’ve ever experienced, have felt physically and mentally ill, and ultimately alone. Then, to help me sleep at night, I played a few podcasts so I wouldn’t be left in silence. I remember one night waking up at odd hours, anxious, not sure which podcast was playing. But I found myself chuckling, because I heard something absurd. I thought, “Did they just say dragon pussy?” Since then, the sound of your laughter, shenanigans, and saltiness has helped me laugh my way out of potential anxiety attacks. You encouraged me to try D&D for myself, and I discovered a tribe of my own that encourages me to enjoy the same joyful environment I listened to in order to help me sleep. Thank you for being with me for 2024, Two Crew. See you in 2025 <3

2024-12-23 23:10:28 +0000 UTC

Howdy Hearthside Heathens !! 2 questions First For the future mini campaigns is there any plan to have them interconnected or related? I really enjoyed the all monks arc of c2 and how it focused on a different “front of the war” but still tied back to the major conflict. Second question will there be more rotation in the DMs? I love seeing how the dynamic changes based on who is in the drivers seat. Thanks for an amazing c3 and can’t wait for the future.

2024-12-23 23:08:42 +0000 UTC

Hello Gang! Just wanted to ask Em how was it to write the amazing Giant Layer song for Hardwon because it definitely was a BIG SLAM DUNK for me! Love you guys and thanks for making my days brighter.

Hot-Wheels Enthusiast

2024-12-23 23:06:58 +0000 UTC

I just want to say thank you all. You've inspired me to start DMing again. I was so burnt out from it but listening to the podcast has improved not only my mental state but how I feel about dnd. So thank you so much for this wonderful podcast. I'm only on campaign 2 but I'm on the last few episodes. I have no idea what happened during this last campaign but I'm hoping to hear this when I eventually catch up. What is each of your biggest regrets and biggest moment/action that you are the most satisfied with since the start of the podcast? Once again thank all of you and I love y'all. P.S. if there is time who do you think is the strongest familiar between any campaign if there is time.

2024-12-23 23:05:46 +0000 UTC

Hey all... I know it's not a campaign question, but how are all the critters? The Axmurph cats? The ferel kitties (including Plug of course)? The 2 crew dogs? I work with cats so I'm very invested in how all the animals are doing lol. To make it d&d related, is there any not real creature that you wish you could have as a pet? Personally I want to tressym. Thanks for another year of incredible laughs and incredible stories. Can't wait to see what you do next!

2024-12-23 23:05:08 +0000 UTC

Hey gang, early on you said you wanted to bring more guests on this season, but then there weren't any. Was there a reason for that, and will you have guests on for the mini campaigns going forward?

Kade

2024-12-23 23:01:21 +0000 UTC

Looking back… Were there any changes within the characters that surprised any of you?

2024-12-23 22:45:58 +0000 UTC

Hey dudes and du As you reflect on the end of C3, where there are lessons you learned from other campaigns that you sought to apply to this campaign/character? P.S. You did an all monks arc… but when are we getting an all Grinch campaign when??

Not_Your_Mammas_Philosopher

2024-12-23 22:30:52 +0000 UTC

Evening hearthers. My question js for Emily. Could you talk about your process of writing and creating the two songs we heard in the finale? Did either exist in any capacity before the finale? Did Jake have any input into Hardone’s ballad?

Nat20wife

2024-12-23 22:26:49 +0000 UTC

Hearty Hearthers, but specifically Emily “Executioners’s Axe” -Ford. I love your use of all spells. Always awesome and epic, and love seeing non-standard ones. How often or how far in advanced do you consider uses and ways of making yourself super cool? Also, can you help me build my first Magic deck? Loved the hydras!

Nat

2024-12-23 22:23:42 +0000 UTC

It seems like with all the things going on with Gruumsh he’s the next big bad, is he going to have a small arc or is he going to have his own campaign a year or so from now?

Riley Holmes

2024-12-23 22:21:00 +0000 UTC

Hearthside Homies and Homettes. I loved Jake’s rhyme in the finale. It was perfect the way he intentionally flubbed the very last one of the campaign. Anyway, will you please actually do a one-shot or short campaign about the Knights of the Prawn Table?

Nat

2024-12-23 22:20:29 +0000 UTC

Hey Murph! Did you draw any inspiration from the Storm King’s Thunder module. Just recently wrapped a level 20 play through of it while the campaign gad been coming out and it has some cool parallel vibes

Dillon Incantalupo

2024-12-23 22:19:48 +0000 UTC

Is the finale of C3 an ending or a preview?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

2024-12-23 22:18:45 +0000 UTC

I haven't had time to finish the finale of C3, so I'm having to be careful to avoid looking at these comments to avoid spoilers, so sorry if this is a repeat question! What are the stand-out moments that you think you'll first think of when you think of C3? Honestly, for me, I think it's the "Duck Team Sucks" joke from Ezry. Listening to Murph's NPCs be so perplexed and confused by it will live rent free in my brain for a long time. It might be somewhat small in a world-saving adventure but I really feel like those moments kind of sum up who Duck Team is and how they relate to the outside world. Thanks for a really excellent story, 2 Crew! Cannot wait to see what's next!

HellishRebuker, PhD

2024-12-23 22:18:07 +0000 UTC

Riley Holmes

2024-12-23 22:17:59 +0000 UTC

Hearthside Homies and Homettes, I noticed a distinct lack of being transported into a game of Magic the Gathering. What’s up with that?

Nat

2024-12-23 22:17:16 +0000 UTC

For everyone: if your character existed in our reality, what would they dress up as for Halloween?

Henri

2024-12-23 22:16:20 +0000 UTC

For Murph, C3 was notably absent of guest appearances. Was this an intentional decision or inability to align schedules? PS hate the show, never listened. Fuck you I love you eat a rat

ChronoT

2024-12-23 22:15:22 +0000 UTC

Not specific to C3, but please weigh in on the real life example of the Grinch wwyd involving a Peruvian drug bust

Timothy Mason

2024-12-23 22:14:56 +0000 UTC

For Murph I'm wondering with the creation of the automatons, if you have another session in Bahumia, with a similar times kip to the one between C1 and C3, will it be more magitek cyberpunk inspired?

Tijay Arnie

2024-12-23 22:13:14 +0000 UTC

What were the multiclasses for this campaign, and how many levels in each?

Nile

2024-12-23 22:11:07 +0000 UTC

When I relistened, Hardwon never used any other spell than Shield as far as I remember and I don’t remember hearing them mentioning anything so I was just curious since they were all kind of new at that point.

Darkrisky

2024-12-23 21:49:35 +0000 UTC

please don't quote me, i beg you but i think early on jake thought it meant 2 level 1 spells... and not 2 cantrips and a 1st level. unless im remembering a different campaign in which case disregard me. i think thats what happened there. i thought they talked about it either on an episode or on a short rest/QnA

Mac

2024-12-23 21:40:13 +0000 UTC

Also this question is for Murph, obviously, but I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts abt her development from being an ally in c1 to c3’s big bad

SunKi11er

2024-12-23 21:36:15 +0000 UTC

For Murph, in Bahumia campaigns you're listed as the Direct Messenger, but Eldermourne you're the Dungeon Master. Is there hidden lore behind the title, or was it just a funny way to be a DM that stuck only for that world?

Westheimer

2024-12-23 21:36:10 +0000 UTC

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about and wondering as to how Jovyre went from being a kind and empathetic ruler, who was of her people, to what she was by the end of c3. I know you touched upon it a little during the scene where she had Calder in that sensory deprivation void in the middle of the fight, but how much of Jovyre’s fall from grace had to do with her own lapse in morals and values, and internal desire for power and validation, vs the corrupting nature of the winter court crown, which was implied (or stated, I can’t remember) to have corrupted Ezra herself, especially as Jovyre is seen implementing similar powers as Ezra in a very round about way? How much of this was intentional character development, vs a sort of innocuous side plot you didn’t really think about? I’d love to know if any of this was intentional, or if I’m just fixating on a detail that’s probably just a result of there being 4 plus years between the end of c1 and c3. Thanks, and happy hog-lidays to you all♥️

2024-12-23 21:33:25 +0000 UTC

For the group - if Gunk had died, how would you have reacted? Would Murph still be with us?

Jack Dineen

2024-12-23 21:32:08 +0000 UTC

For the Non-Murphs, who was the most frightening villian of C3? For the Murphs, who did you think was going to be the scariest?

Westheimer

2024-12-23 21:31:56 +0000 UTC

For Emily - Caliope's arc this campaign mirrors real-life growth that a lot of people deal with, particularly in dealing with her complex feelings about Glen, but also just growing from someone whose worldview consisted of herself and maybe a handful of other people into a part of something greater. Was that the direction that you always intended to go with her, or is it something that just developed organically?

Jack Dineen

2024-12-23 21:30:47 +0000 UTC

How do you think you've grown across campaign 3?

OlGhettoGandalf

2024-12-23 21:30:32 +0000 UTC

For the group: now that you’re nearing the end of the campaign, looking back is there anything you wish you had done that you felt you’ve missed out on? any parts of the world you wanted to explore but didn’t get the chance, npc backstories you wish you could’ve seen more of, that kind of thing?

Tyler Harper

2024-12-23 21:26:59 +0000 UTC

For Jake - this marks the third campaign where your character serves as the linchpin in saving the world (Hardwon dealing hundreds of damage in the fight against Theala, Henry successfully removing Irina's crown, and now Calder successfully casting wish). How does it feel to have that kind of weight on your shoulders at such pivitol moments?

Jack Dineen

2024-12-23 21:26:54 +0000 UTC

For the Group, what was your favorite mechanic that was brewed up for you (or by you)

YourAnimeDad

2024-12-23 21:21:54 +0000 UTC

Murph, can you tell us anything about the Kindleaf that was mentioned among the Feywild Green Knights?

lizznotliz

2024-12-23 21:21:48 +0000 UTC

For Murph - What would have happened in the event of a TPK? Would campaign 4 essentially become a romp through a post-apocalyptic world that had been decimated by the conflict between Gruumsh and Jovere, or would the NPCs have been able to rally and finish the job that Duck Team started?

Jack Dineen

2024-12-23 21:19:53 +0000 UTC

For murph: how would you build a monster that looks like the grinch …or heck… it might even be the grinch itself? And for everyone else: what would be your strategy to take this monster down

Kelly Berg

2024-12-23 21:17:50 +0000 UTC

For murph (but I’d be curious for everyone’s answer): What are your biggest 'what if' moments in the campaign? Are there any choices or rolls that could’ve gone differently and how do you see them changing the course of the campaign?

Kelly Berg

2024-12-23 21:15:43 +0000 UTC

For Caldwell - Did the unexpected birth of your new baby (congratulations by the way) at all impact the way you personally wanted the way Sol's story to end?

To the whole crew: what class/subclass are you most looking forward to playing in the future? Also, was there any multiclasses that you thought about playing in C3, but it never worked out?

Jacob Nickerson

2024-12-23 21:13:57 +0000 UTC

May it please the hearth. I have a question for Murph: was the idea of being "peregrine" inspired by "ta'veren" from the Wheel of Time series? I know you've mentioned that's where Egwene's name comes from and it seems like the Chosen were also inspired by the Children of the Light.

Cade Holdstock

2024-12-23 21:09:34 +0000 UTC

For the crew: could you Austin powers the Babe Pig in the city movies? (Watch in reverse order) would it improve or worsen the movie experience for you?

Kelly Berg

2024-12-23 21:09:16 +0000 UTC

Do you think with the smaller campaigns you’ll have more guests playing with y’all? (And not just dungeon court) I was sad when there was an absent of guests in C3, Also it’s a bummer I share a name with one of y’all

Connor Ayres

2024-12-23 21:07:44 +0000 UTC

Kelly Berg

2024-12-23 21:07:42 +0000 UTC

for murph, where did you draw inspiration for glen? any characters in other media or people you’ve known in real life?

Leah

2024-12-23 21:07:28 +0000 UTC

Another for murph. Do you immediately have a want to carry on with within bahoomia? Or do you want to tackle another theme/land?

Connor Ayres

2024-12-23 21:06:29 +0000 UTC

For Murphy. Now that C3 is complete (I’ve not finished yet but eager to finish!!). Was there anything you wish had happened throughout the campaign? Such as alexandrite not dying in the ice knife? Or Calder not being trapped in the helm?

Connor Ayres

2024-12-23 21:05:12 +0000 UTC

For the group: Campaign 3 was amazing, but I missed the great guest arcs from C1/C2. Why didn’t campaign 3 have any guest characters?

Christopher Camel

2024-12-23 21:04:05 +0000 UTC

For the whole gang: Guest stars, where they at?! Some of my fave arcs involve guests, and I’m hoping for some old favourites and new friends as we move into shorter campaigns!

Joe Lenton

2024-12-23 21:01:23 +0000 UTC

For Murph: what’s the stat block for a Squight? Love that for our girl Kenna!

CaptLizianthus

2024-12-23 20:54:57 +0000 UTC

Joshua Goguen

2024-12-23 20:48:03 +0000 UTC

Murph: Before the campaign you discussed not bringing too much of C1 into the story, but we ended up seeing a lot of story elements get incorporated in a way that was perfectly textured to still let the C3 story thrive on its own. How did you strike the balance while you wrote and prepped?

Happy Hoglidays Two Crew! My brother is back home from college (yippee) and we’re both avid Naddpod fans so we decided to listen to the finale together and eat some pizza. We ate together and listened to the episode and eventually were down to the last slice. I asked “Can I have it?” To which he replied, “How DARE you.” He’s always been a little outrageous so I took that response as a joke and took the last slice. Apparently he wasn’t joking and I had grievously wounded him. Do you think I should have let him have the pizza or should I have taken that outrageous response as the joke I thought it was?

Axel Ottel

2024-12-23 20:35:36 +0000 UTC

With C3 wrapping up and the 2 crew moving onto shorter campaigns, what is everyone's advice on making true, single session one-shots?

Vivi

2024-12-23 20:35:17 +0000 UTC

With the next campaign(s) being shorter, that gives the players the potential to make more characters more often. What is your thoughts process going into new character creation? Ex. Emily, will you consider playing a class that relies less on spells since it would (technically!) be less of a years+ commitment? Or will this give you the chance to really optimize a spellcaster for the setting/party? Caldwell, is there a class you've been itching to try? Jake, are you worried about running out of fighter subclasses? 🤣

Mirarreiro

2024-12-23 20:34:24 +0000 UTC

Question for the Crew: with the end of a long term campaign, and a bit of a reset, do you plan on switching to the revised 5e rules or perhaps some sort of hybrid of the 2014 and 2024 rules?

GDBadger

2024-12-23 20:31:52 +0000 UTC

Not a campaign question but if you were a holiday treat what treat would each of you be.

For Murph I’ve Ben listening to you guys for over a year now and have over 400 hours of listening to do the most amazing work an I wanted to know what can I do to get into dming for my friends an family an have them be as interested as me or at least wanna play more?? P.s Murph how was the womping you got for the crew in this last ep??

Nick francis

2024-12-23 20:23:38 +0000 UTC

Slade Robertson

2024-12-23 20:23:31 +0000 UTC

For Murph: when are you going to release a campaign setting? I really want to get my friends to start playing, and feel like Bahumia is the perfect continent to drop them into for their first game.

For the whole 2 crew! What is the most memorable scene/battle for you in C3? I think this entire campaign has probably some of my favorite battle scenes (Cali being a literal moon goddess still one of the coolest battle scenes I’ve ever heard) to all the amazing rp (for me ice knife arc and dragon elf chronicles arc absolutely knock it out of the park with rp moments); I’d love to know your picks!

Ashton Johnson

2024-12-23 20:19:50 +0000 UTC

Brian, what class did you play the most of in EverQuest?

Alec Krance

2024-12-23 20:19:45 +0000 UTC

Here's a question for Murph. Between Galad in C1 and Glenn in C3, do you feel like your plans for your big bad Bahumia NPCs are cursed? Do you have any plans to prevent the trend from continuing on in future campaigns, or are these just examples of the tiny Ls a DM must take and deal with?

Happy Hoglidays! As Emily continues to explore cinema in reverse; what tales are next in her research? Between Star Wars, Venom and Austin Powers (Oh Baby!), is the Marvel Cinematic Universe next? What other films has she missed over the years? Much love from Chicago! P.s. its my birthday tomorrow (xmas eve) can Jake the Cake recommend a good flavor of cake to have?

Trey

seconding this!

2024-12-23 20:18:47 +0000 UTC

Dear 2 crew, thank you all for such a phenomenal campaign, such a joy to listen to ❤️ Was wondering what you think Duck Team (and Kenna) would give each other for the Hoglidays as presents?

Ali Fitz

2024-12-23 20:18:06 +0000 UTC

Seeing as he has been such a great guest on the pod, do you plan on having Jake come back for more or will you finally bring in somebody a bit more interesting?

Terrell Swanson

2024-12-23 20:16:42 +0000 UTC

also, HATE the show ❤️

2024-12-23 20:16:42 +0000 UTC

Hey all! Happy Hoglidays! This campaign seemed to lean into themes of sibling and familial relationships, did you find yourself pulling from your personal lives for inspiration or were you more inspired by other media? As a someone with 3 siblings, I loved hearing the interactions between Calder and his brothers.

Ana Faithe Allen

2024-12-23 20:16:04 +0000 UTC

If each of your pets were in a 5e campaign together, what classes would they play?

Grass

2024-12-23 20:15:47 +0000 UTC

Shout out to the C3 Cree! Whether it's making people cry through Murph's incredible monologues, or laughs at piss drinking and dragon pussies and each spilltacular Caldwell goof, or (for some of us) learning how to play alongside Jake, or bristling with envy that we'll never be able to embody a character quite like Emily - it is obvious that NADDPOD has made an impact on so many people in so many ways. So here, at the end of a campaign, at the end of 7 years, and as we prepare to hear more of your stories in the coming years - what is it that stands out to you all over this journey from C1 to C3?

Krystine W.

2024-12-23 20:15:03 +0000 UTC

Crew, would you ever consider selling CDs/vinyl of the campaign soundtracks?

Sydney Cooke

2024-12-23 20:13:31 +0000 UTC

Hey, 2 Crew! I noticed that there were no guest PCs in Campaign 3– was that a conscious choice or a result of scheduling conflicts? PS Hate the show

The Fun Yaunt

2024-12-23 20:12:47 +0000 UTC

What character form baldurs gate 3 do you think would be yourselves

2024-12-23 20:12:40 +0000 UTC

Hey y’all! Another great campaign! Question for everyone, what surprised you most about your character’s development from the start of the campaign to where they ended?

My Names Mike

2024-12-23 20:11:54 +0000 UTC

When do you guys think you'll do live shows again?

Lauren Cooper

2024-12-23 20:11:07 +0000 UTC

In C1, the feywild and material plane timeliness are not 1:1 (e.g. Cran and Derlin) but this didn't seem to happen in C3. Did the events of C1 (Moonshine w/ thinking cap) tie the timeliness together? Sorry if the answer was established Merryngate's lore.

Alex Stixon

2024-12-23 20:10:30 +0000 UTC

Emily, will you be releasing the C3 finale songs on spotify??

Sydney Cooke

2024-12-23 20:07:56 +0000 UTC

I’ve been re-listening to the campaign (almost done with campaign 2 again!) and you guys sometimes make allusions to future characters that you end up playing (I know early in campaign 2 Emily talked about a bard/paladin combo, Caldwell talked about playing a monk around the same time, and Murph discussed a potential cyberpunky campaign I think towards the end of campaign 1, Jake always plays fighter) I was curious if you guys have a list of characters/story things that you want to do that you pull from or if they just stick in your head until you’re able to do them?

Graham Jones

2024-12-23 20:07:41 +0000 UTC

This question is for Murph. Were there any plans that Murph needed to throw out due to the direction the crew took, or any guest players that couldn't occur to the the direction that the campaign took?

Jordan Innerarity

2024-12-23 20:06:28 +0000 UTC

Q For Murph! Towards the end it was mentioned the Feywild and mortal planes were planets. How does the cosmology work between planes? If I built a spaceship in the Material Plane could I phsically fly to the Ruby Dawn or the Feywild? P.S Hate the show, love the grinch.

Bgn87

2024-12-23 20:05:45 +0000 UTC

What's for the crew? Will Jake DM a live show?

Zeke10n

2024-12-23 20:05:28 +0000 UTC

What are the C3 PCs (and Kenna ofc) getting each other as gifts for the Hoglidays??

Jamie Matthews

2024-12-23 20:04:53 +0000 UTC

Now that you've all successfully made it to the end of another amazing campaign, which of your characters journey through the story has surprised you the most?

Gigi Grilli

2024-12-23 20:04:10 +0000 UTC

I just assumed it was our man Caldwell!

Azeem

2024-12-23 20:04:07 +0000 UTC

What's next for the 2 crew? Some short campaigns? Will we ever get guests on a campaign ep again? And when is Jake DMing ?

Nick Lerche

2024-12-23 20:02:42 +0000 UTC

First time caller long time listener, who does the art for each one of the campaign covers, I love the little touches p.s. can’t wait/hope to see some hot boys in the new year

Wulfgar Ramsey

2024-12-23 19:59:18 +0000 UTC

Murph! The homebrew of the Warfare rules from MCDM was incredible! Would the Two Crew ever want to use the Intrigue or Heroic Organizations from MCDM in NADDPod? Also, I beg of thee: give Emily sticks to snakes!

Daniel A.

2024-12-23 19:58:27 +0000 UTC

For the whole crew! From Cali being literally bitten to Calder and Albin's contentious relationship. There were so many goofs and bits. What were each of your favorite bits in the campaign?

Ken

2024-12-23 19:57:55 +0000 UTC

For Emily, If you were to cook your dice while standing on the moon itself (for maximum moonlight exposure) would you place the 20 facing up at the sun or down at the moons surface?

Moon Question Guy

2024-12-23 19:57:42 +0000 UTC

As you close out another epic campaign, do you ever feel the need to "top it" or one-up yourself on the next campaign? As the Marvel movies have shown us, things don't always improve by constantly raising the stakes to a more epic level. Sometimes you just want a compelling story about a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. I was JUST as invested in the trinyvale triplets getting their swamp-bnb as I was to the Thiala fight because you guys make every story you tell meaningful. Thank you all for your hard work.

Anson Pavlov

2024-12-23 19:55:48 +0000 UTC

For Murph: Murph, what inspired you to have Commander Morrigan in Malscurial lean in and bite Callie? It was an brilliant character choice that I, for one, never expected from an such a serious NPC. Can you offer any insight into your creative process?

Ziv like Steve

2024-12-23 19:55:44 +0000 UTC

For the 2 Crew: if you had to pick a moment in Campaign 3 to reroll, oppa Nannerfly Effect style, what moment would you pick?

peace k.

2024-12-23 19:55:10 +0000 UTC

How do you keep track of the cool things you have as players? I find my PC’s always forget about some of the random legendary loot they have acquired.

Resido

2024-12-23 19:54:29 +0000 UTC

how are you all feeling? and what are you guys interested in exploring next (not just in terms of dnd classes/races, but also conceptually and thematically)?

Aiyana

2024-12-23 19:54:08 +0000 UTC

my guess is Murph didn't wanna do a bad job of mimicking Emily's accent since he's never done an English accent as tends not to do ones he feels like he'd butcher

Aiyana

2024-12-23 19:53:02 +0000 UTC

My burning c3 question: Did Cooter and Sprilla get divorced??

Shelby

2024-12-23 19:52:47 +0000 UTC

Please answer this one!

Resido

2024-12-23 19:51:52 +0000 UTC

For Murph: did you always intend for Alexandrite to "die" before the end of the campaign, making the final enemies Charbin and Queen Jovyre? Just curious if you had to make any other big pivots in the campaign. Thanks for answering! PS Jake, my mom is a huge fan of the Goat Show and she demands more episodes

SpaceAgeStuff

2024-12-23 19:51:07 +0000 UTC

What style of holiday decorating would each member of the Duck Team choose for their dwellings? Traditional, pink and glitter, white Christmas?

Emily Straight

2024-12-23 19:50:43 +0000 UTC

Murph, why didn't you give Cyra the same accent as Callie?

favoritebrendan

2024-12-23 19:50:01 +0000 UTC

I adored C3 and the absolutely stellar 🌠 ending you all created together. A chef's kiss and happy hoglidays to you all! For each of your respective characters Calder, Sol, Meave Heypenny and Kenna, In the years and decades after the campaign wraps up what absolutely untrue gossip or folktale would you be be most likely to overhear on the streets of Ezri or read in the peregrine post?

Kelsie Barker

2024-12-23 19:50:00 +0000 UTC

My questions are for everyone what was your favorite moment in c3 and who was your favorite non-pc character? Happy hoglidays

InfamousJ13

2024-12-23 19:49:14 +0000 UTC

If your characters from C3 were magic the gathering legendary creatures, what would your cards do and what would be the rest of your name after the comma ( Fynn, the fangbearer or krenko, baron of tin street for example)

Randy

Any live shows on the dmv area planned?

Kyle Morley

2024-12-23 19:46:51 +0000 UTC

Hi all, I have a bit of a general/life question. I recently turned 25, which I know isn't actually that old, but nevertheless I've still been hurdling straight towards a quarter life crisis. Emily has 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 on growing up. Thank you and Love from Germany <3

Claire GM

2024-12-23 19:46:49 +0000 UTC

During the beginning of the campaign, when the duck team was forced to become S-class knights, they were forced to be paralyzed when hearing a phrase. Is this potential weakness still in play, or have they found a way to combat this?

Bev Bressette

2024-12-23 19:46:46 +0000 UTC

I'll ask this on behalf of my friend Emily: Murph, did anything surprise you? Everyone else can answer too I guess love you

Brayan Martinez

2024-12-23 19:46:40 +0000 UTC

For all: any plans for a pathfinder 2e mini campaign I love the system so much and love duncles run

Kyle Morley

2024-12-23 19:46:15 +0000 UTC

My question is for Jake In campaign 1, Hardwon took a magic initiate so that he could have Shield. Technically he would have gotten two cantrips as well although he never used them. What did you take? If this was a miss and you never took them, what would you take now that you have more experience playing?

Darkrisky

2024-12-23 19:46:14 +0000 UTC

For Emily: it’s been such a gift getting to navigate the messy 20somethings (60somethings?) alongside Callie these past few years! Is there any media or hobbies that helped carry you through the trials of young adulthood?

Justina MacNeil

2024-12-23 19:44:59 +0000 UTC

If all of Naddpods characters were quangled which combination of characters would form the most chaotic party?

Sam

2024-12-23 19:44:44 +0000 UTC

Callback question for Jake: What type of fighter are you gonna play next time? Real question tho, what classes are everyone looking towards for next session?

Just Aiden

2024-12-23 19:43:39 +0000 UTC

How do you feel about doing a campaign with future tech flavored abilities instead of the standard magic?

Elliott Scheirman

2024-12-23 19:43:29 +0000 UTC

For the crew: What would be some life advice you as a player would tell any of your characters? Which character(s) would you think need to hear it?

Myka Donati

2024-12-23 19:43:21 +0000 UTC

DM's question, when it comes to home brewing characters how can you tell the line between over powered and under powered? Is it just a balance giving and taking or does a little more go behind it?

Just Aiden

2024-12-23 19:41:52 +0000 UTC

Which of your characters' stories has hit the closest to home for you? Is there a particular character or event from any of the campaigns that touched a memory from your own life in a special way? Or What did you learn from this campaign, either as a person or a player?

Corin Aitchison

2024-12-23 19:41:47 +0000 UTC

Loved the finale! Murph, it was so interesting to see how much Jovyre had changed from C1. She explains a bit of her reasoning as to why her changed her philosophy in the finale, but was any of that change actually because of the Unseelie crown's influence? And/or was she more nefarious back in C1 than we thought, but just good at hiding it?

Scout S

2024-12-23 19:41:16 +0000 UTC

Warhammer has been mentioned before and was curious if with the upcoming shorter arcs if you guys would be willing to do a grim dark setting like Warhammer Fantasy!:3

River

2024-12-23 19:41:14 +0000 UTC

What was your favourite/most memorable introduction in this/all campaigns?

Oyabun

2024-12-23 19:41:13 +0000 UTC

What are your thoughts on a Sol one-shot campaign that explores more of the clones storyline? That was a really cool storyline, and I can only imagine the chaos that would come from Sol + clone Emily + clone Jake putting their giant tongues where they don't belong.

Chris B

2024-12-23 19:41:01 +0000 UTC

How does it affect your chemistry when you guys record all together vs. one or two on zoom vs. all on zoom? Do you think pivotal moments would’ve gone differently if you were in person and the subtle things like quick communicative glances or eating dinner together and scheming on a break as opposed to playing on other sides of the country?

Megan S

2024-12-23 19:40:53 +0000 UTC

Hey there Duck Team (&DM Murph!) Now that you’ve done it a few times, how does it feel to have completed a whole collaborative creative endeavor front to back, start to finish? Is there anything about completing this campaign that feels different than prior ones? P.S Thanks for all the wonderful moments and great comfort you’ve all provided

Carter Starkey

2024-12-23 19:40:44 +0000 UTC

question for brian “murph” murphy and also emily probably. what is the process from recording an episode to putting out an edited episode for the feed? what steps/passes go into the edit? love everything you guys do!! P.S. when you started campaign three i was finishing college but now i am a young laboratory assistant listening while i mail science shit to scientists. makes you think.

Laura !

2024-12-23 19:40:09 +0000 UTC

Just waiting for the campaign Cake DMs

Jason Ramirez

2024-12-23 19:39:55 +0000 UTC

Murph- you really took your encounter-building to the next level in campaign three. Outside of the finale, which encounter are you most proud of, especially in terms of the mechanics that you invented or tweaked?

Brandon Carroll

2024-12-23 19:39:36 +0000 UTC

Who is replacing Jack in campaign 4?

Ryan Steel

2024-12-23 19:39:34 +0000 UTC

In the current season of critical role the players are all controlling multiple characters they’ve played at once for plot reasons. Do you think that the 2 crew would do something similar in the future or would that all be too chaotic?

Cristian

2024-12-23 19:39:29 +0000 UTC

A question for Murph, Hi started listening in February and caught up just in time to listen to the last 3 episodes as they came out, I’m a new Dm and have so many questions about story building. Would you ever consider running a DM tutoring show on off weeks? Ps Emily I want you to know that I can’t imagine character faces and so every one of your characters look like princess bean from disenchantment

Aurora

2024-12-23 19:37:15 +0000 UTC

Do you think we will get to see the Triplets or Frankie and his Doglings sometime soon? I'm dying for some more toxicity and more random pop culture crossovers from Trinyvale as well as seeing Mavid return and seeing what more cool stories Emily has cooked up in Twilight Sanctorum

JC

2024-12-23 19:37:10 +0000 UTC

Could I get a behind the scenes breakdown of podcast duties? I know Murph edits the main campaign episodes, but there's so much that goes into the podcast from both a technical and business perspective, can I get a roll credits?

Paul Smith

2024-12-23 19:37:00 +0000 UTC

Are there any classes that you think work great in something short like a one-shot, but you wouldn't want to play over a full length campaign?

Eric Nodtvedt

2024-12-23 19:36:54 +0000 UTC

Is there any chance of us getting a bagging it with balnor featuring the duck team?

Erling

2024-12-23 19:36:29 +0000 UTC

The first two campaigns featured guests who came on and played important roles throughout the campaigns (Zac, Brennan, Lou, Adam, and the like). In campaign 3, there were no guest performers. Was that a conscious decision or a trick of timing/availability? Will there be more guest performers in future campaigns?

Tom Werner

2024-12-23 19:36:26 +0000 UTC

For the whole crew: Of all the new NPCs and settings introduced in Bahumia in C3, who and/or where would you most like to revisit and explore further in a future campaign?

Max Riley

2024-12-23 19:36:01 +0000 UTC

General Question: what is the biggest dnd party you have ever dm’ed for or been a part of? Follow up question: How big would you be willing to go? At what point would it stop being D&D and start being just a hangout.

Would love to know everyone's new years resolutions!

Dani Sharkey

2024-12-23 19:35:37 +0000 UTC

For Caldwell: Design wise, who has been your favorite character to draw? Who can you see most clearly in your head? Or a favorite moment you’ve wanted to (or have) put in ink?

Megan S

2024-12-23 19:35:18 +0000 UTC

Question for Jake. Have you considered playing a full spellcaster in the future? If so, what class/subclass would you play?

Timmy P.

2024-12-23 19:34:56 +0000 UTC

Are there any non-fantasy TTRPG systems that y’all would want to try??

Nick Nelson

2024-12-23 19:34:42 +0000 UTC

Emily- how was the music production similar/different in this campaign vs C1 being in the same world but different timelines? (story wise and in your personal timeline)

Mak

2024-12-23 19:34:38 +0000 UTC

Also, would everyone play a subclass of fighter, à la Cake Hurtbiz, or some other class for the Prawn Knight campaign that I desperately need to have happen

D Cord

2024-12-23 19:34:18 +0000 UTC

Were there any PCs or NPCs considered for C3 that didn’t make the cut you’d like to incorporate in a future campaign?

preppy_prince

2024-12-23 19:34:09 +0000 UTC

what’s up gamers!! wondering if there was a specific song/playlist/vibe that you would listen to or think about to help you get into character or reflect on their motivations ?

Hanna Dahl

2024-12-23 19:34:09 +0000 UTC

Question for the whole crew, if Cake has already been kicked off the show then he doesn't get an answer I guess. Which has been your personal favorite campaign ending between 1, 2, and 3?

KingHalt

2024-12-23 19:33:58 +0000 UTC

So what are the lyrics to Hardwon the giant layer?

You guys made me cry in my cubicle!

Tralan

2024-12-23 19:33:27 +0000 UTC

@Jake; There is the running joke of “which fighter will Jake play next”, but have you considered playing a Pugilist? It isnt an ‘official’ DnD class, but it is very well balanced, has an incredibly versatile flavor pool, and is quite possibly my favorite class to play.

Connor Carper

2024-12-23 19:32:41 +0000 UTC

As a person who loves underwater stuff, what was everyone’s Roses, Thorns, Buds, etc of Sunaire (apologies for the misspelling) and the whole underwater section?

D Cord

2024-12-23 19:32:40 +0000 UTC

Question for all of you: what was your favorite small moment in C3, not one of those big memorable ones, the small things that folks might not remember. Thank you for another wonderful campaign. 😊

Miranda the Dungeon Court Stenographer

2024-12-23 19:31:50 +0000 UTC

Murph: I recall before C3 started you mentioned that you had considered naming the company Alancorp (maybe Alan Tech) before settling on Mother ship. Was it your original plan to have Alanis involved in C3 in some way?

Matt Hartt

2024-12-23 19:31:41 +0000 UTC

With the ending of campaign 3, what has been the most satisfying ending for your characters? (Beverly, Saul, etc)

brennan dahl

2024-12-23 19:31:41 +0000 UTC

Thank you for another great campaign! What was your favorite npc of the season? And which one should've really been replaced with the Grinch?

2024-12-23 19:31:40 +0000 UTC

Jakey: Do you think your gritty granary-focused campaign will be kicking off soon, if not, will you end up guesting on 8BBC, I think you’d kill it.

Kresh

2024-12-23 19:31:07 +0000 UTC

For Morph - At the start of C3, who did you have in mind to be the BBEG? It seems like you had planned on it being alexandrite, though due to players notoriously messing up your plot, it changed.

Alex Gibson

2024-12-23 19:31:04 +0000 UTC

Jake, do you think Hardwon will tell the truth about his time with C3 to the Boobs, or does he embellish, old school Hardwon style? So loved the finale, all, and look forward to the future!!

Carly Collette

2024-12-23 19:30:54 +0000 UTC

favourite overall campaign moment? we've had so many big moments, a personal favourite being mavrus and the sticky hands, but does the crew have any favourite silly moments from any campaigns?

sarah may

2024-12-23 19:30:54 +0000 UTC

Murph, what was the story with the traitors in the old folks circle? Was Glen using them or were they using him?

elina

2024-12-23 19:30:53 +0000 UTC

For our favorite Dungeon Docent, do you have anything cooking with Twilight Sanctorum? I absolutely loved this campaign and you’re an amazing DM. I’m really looking forward to seeing more with this world.

Jeriecho Noriega

2024-12-23 19:30:43 +0000 UTC

Not a dnd question, just curious as to what Emily has been reading recently

Callie

2024-12-23 19:29:57 +0000 UTC

What was your favorite PC-NPC relationship from this campaign? (I’m partial to Calder/Albin). Also, do you have plans to release an album of C3 music? You’ve got some naddpole music fans that would be overjoyed!

Lexi loves the 2 crew!

Was Paetina Glenbottle a tight grandma because she was a clone or was it just Pilates?

Li I

2024-12-23 19:29:55 +0000 UTC

Have you ever considered doing a campaign where you play as monsters?

Vonvonvon

2024-12-23 19:29:53 +0000 UTC

How much content typically gets cut out of an episode? Is the cut content usually just dicking around, accidental verbal slip ups, and/or bathroom breaks, or have there been potential future effecting moments slashed for the sake of good podcasting?

Megan S

2024-12-23 19:29:52 +0000 UTC

Murph! Now that you’ve done Bahumia in the future, do you think you’d consider doing a campaign in the far past of Bahumia, as in before the times of the Thiala, Alanis, and Ulfgar?

Stephanie R.

2024-12-23 19:29:25 +0000 UTC

With the introduction of “Kenna’s Krew” (I’ll hold for your applause), who are some people you would all like to see in potential future team ups?

Carly Collette

2024-12-23 19:29:23 +0000 UTC

Emily, you have some pretty spicy PC's from Tarragon to Cinnamon. Are there more aromatic adventurers in your future? Any other additions to the spice cabinet of characters you've been thinking about? Obsessed with your Esmer the Wise Cinnamon is an expensive spice!!

Aaron Thompson

2024-12-23 19:29:17 +0000 UTC

Hey gang, c3 saw some very cool, very fun battle mechanics which made for awesome cinematic scenes. Any favorites? Any mechanics that were left on the cutting room floor?

Takowowo

2024-12-23 19:29:12 +0000 UTC

a question for the illustrious brian murphy; please explain who gildry kindleaf is and how a kindleaf in general ended up in the feywild! the people (me, huge kindleaf siblings fan) are literally dying to know.

sunwurm

Everyone: Do you regret the D.S. ?

Kresh

2024-12-23 19:29:09 +0000 UTC

Question for everyone: At what point do you think you will make another long-form campaign? At least (roughly) C2 length.

Nitzan Harel

2024-12-23 19:29:05 +0000 UTC

Loved the finale, but was a little disappointed that the Grinch never came into play. Does this just mean the Grinch will be in C4?

Parker Jeffery

2024-12-23 19:29:05 +0000 UTC

Murph: early in the campaign it seemed you were looking at doing rotating DM PCs until Kenna arrived. Was there anything behind that decision or was it just because Kenna was a fun character to play? For everyone: how would your character react if they saw someone in a realistic Grinch costume or, hell, the real Grinch themself.

Shane C

2024-12-23 19:28:50 +0000 UTC

Question for Murph: Were there any C3 NPCs you wished you could have spent more time with? If so, would you consider featuring them in a shorter form campaign?

Totally Offside

2024-12-23 19:28:45 +0000 UTC

Congrats on wrapping up another incredible campaign - I've been listening since early 2019! With the huge explosion over the past few years of the popularity of rpg content, what do you see as your niche in the space, and going forward how do you want to keep evolving?

McKenzie Warriner

2024-12-23 19:28:43 +0000 UTC

hey team, longtime listener first time caller. Not a question, but a compliment. Emily: the twinkling lights of galaderon makes me cry every time i hear it, and hearing it in the finale was no different. keep up the good work champ

fettyalph

2024-12-23 19:28:43 +0000 UTC

band of boobs, third mates, duck team, who would come out on top in a fight. for a bonus include the triplets, hot boy summer, and the Vantasmos

Jorgus

2024-12-23 19:28:41 +0000 UTC

Murph! Would love to see you run a Warhammer or Warhammer 40K type campaign! Would you guys try that out given your move to shorter form campaigns and testing different rulesets/ systems?

ABigdude

Matt Gustavson

2024-12-23 19:28:36 +0000 UTC

hi two crew! what did the process for building these characters look like? what inspired you, and/or what drew you to the flavors and classes/subclasses that you picked?

skullswampy

2024-12-23 19:28:33 +0000 UTC

Are we going to see more of Cinnamon and his sons soon? That pathfinder two shot was amazing. Same question for Twilight Sanctorum! Thanks for making this a happier holiday for all <3

Dale Jefferson

2024-12-23 19:28:31 +0000 UTC

Hey John - what’s the next fighter subclass you’re looking at?

Professor Hen

2024-12-23 19:28:31 +0000 UTC

Y'all have been talking about running shorter campaigns in the future how might this effect playstyles/DMing? Would more serious consequences such as PC death or imprisonment be on the line and how does everyone feel about this?

CJ Wallace

2024-12-23 19:28:30 +0000 UTC

Guy Brill

Murph has done some incredible homebrewing to keep the poles lubed this campaign, what's everyone's favorite Murph-brew?

Xanian Jamfalcon

2024-12-23 19:28:21 +0000 UTC

Question for the two crew. How did it feel taking down Queen Jovyr when the Band of Boobs put her in power?

Josiah Lashbrook

2024-12-23 19:28:08 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, if you were Santa, what kind of creatures or beings would you want pulling the sleigh?

Albert Snipz, Family Counselor @Mangia's Ristorante

2024-12-23 19:28:03 +0000 UTC

For Murph - when during your planning did you decide Jovyre would be the BBEG? It was really cool to see her personality progression from C1 to C3!

Lauren Davis

2024-12-23 19:27:58 +0000 UTC

What system are y'all gonna use for the next campaign? I know everyone was very excited about Pathfinder during that one-shot.

jennos

2024-12-23 19:27:49 +0000 UTC

Question for Murph: I know you just spent countless hours writing and editing the end of C3 but we all wanna know, how is the Grinch campaign coming along?

iamnotjackblack

2024-12-23 19:27:46 +0000 UTC

Nothing to ask but just to say thanks for being funny for so long. I've always enjoyed the goofs, the drama, the crunch and the stories that y'all create. Happy Hoglidays 💜

Olaf Dies in Frozen 2

2024-12-23 19:27:45 +0000 UTC

Question for Mister Murph: when did you know the campaign was going to end in the fey wild? Was it planned from the start?

Nitzan Harel

2024-12-23 19:27:38 +0000 UTC

Yugo or the Grinch, who’s better at ruining the holiday season?

Guy Brill

2024-12-23 19:27:21 +0000 UTC

If you had to replace a single character with the grinch in campaign 3, who would you choose?

Jeffrey Hayes

2024-12-23 19:27:19 +0000 UTC

Loved the finale, crew! Are there any threads any of you wish had been followed further/tied up differently? For Murph, you foresee a possibility of such threads coming up in future mini campaigns?

Carly Collette

2024-12-23 19:27:16 +0000 UTC

Will we see more of C1, C2, or C3 characters return in future campaigns like we have in C3?

Megan S

2024-12-23 19:27:15 +0000 UTC

Question for Jake: based on playing dnd and understanding how it work would you be willing to run or own campaign for the team or maybe have the help of an amazing DM be your co DM? I want to know if you have an ideas already brewing ? Love you all, thank you personally for getting me through so many years from pre pandemic onwards you guys are very important to me! Cheers to the new year and be safe and enjoy your time

Lady Nishi

2024-12-23 19:26:52 +0000 UTC

Q for Jake would you consider doing one shot as dm for the group. Since you guys consider xploring shorter campagins for other table roleplaying games.

Dozer

2024-12-23 19:26:48 +0000 UTC

Question for the whole crew! You've talked about doing shorter form and maybe different systems, will the adventures of Duck Team always be kept within DnD, or do you expect to be using wildly different systems to tell different duck team stories? I love these characters and would be so happy to see them become the main crew for exploring other types of campaigns.

Codey Borges

2024-12-23 19:26:45 +0000 UTC

C3 was set about 200 years after C1, which is conveniently the limit for True Resurrection. Murph, was there any temptation to use this spell and bring back someone from C1?

Kay

2024-12-23 19:26:36 +0000 UTC

If you could play an episode or campaign as someone else's character who would you pick and why?.

Xavior

2024-12-23 19:26:33 +0000 UTC

Question for everyone! If you were to put your characters from campaign 3, eldermourne, and C1 in a room to all fight each other, which characters would win? Assuming they are all at the same level! Love the show. Been binging DnD court and I may have a case for our honorable justices for whenever the next one comes live!

Connor Pryor

2024-12-23 19:26:33 +0000 UTC

For Emily Grinchford: How many spells are you planning to get for the next season?

what’s everyone’s favorite song from this campaign (instrumental or otherwise)! (p.s. did you know the average number of songs played in an episode of this campaign is double c1, almost exactly! 20 to 10! and eldermourne was halfway between them (15))

han!!

2024-12-23 19:26:11 +0000 UTC

For the whole crew! What is your personal favorite moment from C3?

Bgn87

2024-12-23 19:26:07 +0000 UTC

How do you keep the energy up so high throughout the whole campaign? Do you ever feel like you want to roll new characters and do a new quest mid campaign?

Jarod Kostick

2024-12-23 19:26:06 +0000 UTC

For each to answer, what’s one character someone else in the group played that you would have loved to have a crack at playing?

ROMCOM

2024-12-23 19:26:03 +0000 UTC

What do all the characters have for brunch the day after the battle. Haven’t finished episode hopefully not a TPK or they’ll be eating dirt.

Jack Malizia

2024-12-23 19:26:00 +0000 UTC

With Caldwell being on paternity leave earlier than anticipated and returning to help close out c3 they were on tight time tables so not to over work him while he was on leave, I’m sure this was a big factor. In case they didn’t answer I figured I’d provide context

Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Thx to the 2 crew for a gorgeous c3. Now Kenna, go get yer girl

2024-12-23 19:25:59 +0000 UTC

Are you guys going to have more guests on during the short campaigns coming up?

Ben Herman

2024-12-23 19:25:47 +0000 UTC

PlantGang

2024-12-23 19:25:25 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone! Loved the finale and this campaign as a whole! Murph, were there any plot threads or plans you wanted to cover or explore?

Eliza V.

2024-12-23 19:25:24 +0000 UTC

At what point was it decided Foster was a super duck? Was this when Emily described her familiar in pre-campaign planning or was it much later in the campaign?

Jack Malizia

2024-12-23 19:25:05 +0000 UTC

For everyone, in each of your perfect worlds, how long would future mini-campaigns last? 5, 10, or maybe 25? Compared to the 100, 50, and now 72?

wick

2024-12-23 19:25:05 +0000 UTC

Not a C3 question but I’d love to know how you guys are spending your holidays? And Caldwell how is the new addition? Lots of crickmas cuddles from New Zealand

murph! you said in the short rest for ep 32 that cobb couldn’t be resurrected. why was that? what was stopping it?

alli

2024-12-23 19:24:12 +0000 UTC

How does it feel when y'all end a campaign? Like the end of a semester where you can relax and look forward to a fresh slate? Itching to get back? A third secret thing?

Kellyd

2024-12-23 19:24:04 +0000 UTC

q for emily! what’s the name of the lullabye from the finale! it’s beautiful… and is that the winter’s mantle lullabye you’ve mentioned on occasion? or was it new!

han!!

2024-12-23 19:23:32 +0000 UTC

murph! what happened to sparilla (glen’s mom)! back in the crick you said you knew but it was never covered on screen!

han!!

2024-12-23 19:21:41 +0000 UTC

Guy Brill

2024-12-23 19:19:03 +0000 UTC

C3 Hearthside Questions!

Comments

This is more for Jake and Calder, how do you find time and space to play D&D while parenting toddlers/babies? Let alone record the episodes, make the art, do the livestream, tour, ect.

If you could play a campaign as one of the C3 NPCs, who would you choose? Only rule is not everyone can choose Gunk.

what sun, moon, and rising would you assign yourself only using naddpod characters? any campaign ofc

Hey gang! If you could have a liquid come out of your index fingers on demand, what liquid would it be and why? You can only pick one.

Is Murph going to DM

what is campaign 4 going to be like 👍 👌 🤔

Campaign 4, would Emily be open to DMing? Or maybe an interlude campaign of like 10-15 eps? Murph kills it in these arrangements too, as a PC! Hot Boy Summer and Twilight Sanctorum are some of the best content NADDPOD has done, IMO

She also had high praise for “The Priory of the Orange Tree”

Maybe a Campaign 3 quiz show??

As C3 is wrapped, I decided to play Final Fantasy XII for the first time (the remake) and I was hoping to hear the Two Crew's opinion on the great Tifa vs. Aerith debate!

What’s coming up next for naddpod???

For everyone ! Which character voice is your favorite / the most fun to do, also what are your methods in deciding what type of voice or accent to do for each character? Happy hoglidays y’all

Gunk. Did being in the fey wild change his development or just the imagination of the PCs? Also did the PCs find a way to slow his aging so he wouldn't be dead of old age in a month? They seemed very concerned about that.

Jake the beef cake: Can you list the 3rd spells you took for Calder? I was hoping to see if Calder was going to throw an ice ball at Jovyre.

Hello! Thank you all for another season of magic and beauty! A question for Murph: When did you know that the stars & sky would play a huge part in the campaign? Did you have the Serpent Queen locked and loaded before Callie made the star map, or maybe was she inspired by that?

Can we have a mini campaign at Albie’s magic school? The quest of the truly haunted bathroom.

Can you tell us what changed Jovyre between where we left her in campaign 1 to what happened in campaign 3?

Will we ever see a Charbin x Pendergreens sidequest, and if so, will any of our beloved C1 or C3 PCs be there to witness the ensuing debauchery?

If someone remembers additional please comment! • Jade city • Adventures of Amina Alzeraphie • Invisible Cities (by Atalo Kalvino) • Black tongue thief • Bear and the Nightingale • Nettle and Bone

Merry hogladays and may the grinch not take you this night!! Jake, would you be interested in playing a spellcaster for next campaign?

A Murph Question: Is Glen/Sawyer's mother Sparilla, Cooter's high elf wife (now probably ex wife) ?

Yes, please share!

If you could play any npc, known or unknown, in Bahumia, would you play?

Hey gang! I was wondering if you guys ever have DnD related dreams, specifically if you have dreams from the pov of your character/s and if so which one? I adore the pod, running into Murph on the street before your anniversary show last september was a highlight of my life ♡

https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c1wq9g3v80ro

I would love that list if you don't mind sharing it!

Hey Crew! Twilight Sanctorum parodies classic noir stories, Hot Boy Summer draws from classic 90’s-00’s stoner comedies, but are there any other film or book genres you see yourselves doing for mini campaigns in the future? A western in Shadowfell, a James Bond-style secret agent heist, etc.?

How did everyone feel about their classes/subclass choices at the end? Any features you wish you could have gone a few more levels for?

Can Emily make a christmas album? Or just more music she's amazing

Not about C3, but: I've been compiling a list of all the books Emily has mentioned, do you guys have any genres you like, or favorite books you read recently? P.S. I started NADDPOD beginning of this year, and am finishing campaign 3!

THIS ISNT RELATED TO C3 BUT PLEASE YOU GUYS MUST KNOW THAT A PERUVIAN POLICE OFFICER DRESSED AS THE GRINCH JUST LED A DRUG BUST

Murph-- what was behind the mists for duck team in Aryox's prophecy room!

Happy Hoglidays everybody! One of my favorite favorite favorite mixed bags is the tub brisket character workshop. I was wondering if you guys had plans to run that as a one shot at any point, or if that’s too far in the past ATP… have a Very Merry and congrats on the end of C3!

The question on everyone’s mind

If you were a tree, what tree would you be? (Any living or fictional tree, I'm not picky)

Relistening to the C3 finale and every time Murph describes the haze clearing from Marigold’s eyes, I think of the How to Train Your Dragon movie when Toothless is being mind controlled and his pupils change. Anyways, what’s y’all’s favorite dragon from the How to Train Your Dragon series?

I had the same thought but they got the bits and it satisfied their objective enough for them to go off with the angry demigoddess lady and trashcan. But I can't recall for sure if Murph mentioned it during the end of the episode or during the short rest.

What happened with the automatons they never got the crown

What are your Spotify wrapped?

He’s too scared to address this

Murph, were there any actions Duck Team did in the first encounter with Alexandrite that drastically changed what you had planned? Is there anything they could have done differently that would have changed things drastically?

What are moments from the first 15 to 20 episodes that you look back on fondly? For me, Calder saying “you all saw that, she fell,” when Petunia Glenbottle was pushed down the stairs is one of the funniest moments of the campaign.

To Murph, Congratulations on three campaigns in the books! After years of work behind the screen, what is the major DM lesson/takeaway from each campaign that you use for future stories?

Adding to the music question bc emily said she’s releasing b-sides - yay!! Are there plans to release the instrumentals??

What are some other tropes that you would do for Hot Boy Summer if you couldn’t play your current characters? Emily what would be the character you would play as a PC in hot boy summer?

If you could add a filler arc to C3 to explore more character relationships, what would it be?

If you were to do a Nannerfly Effect tour for C3, what moments would each of you most like to revisit?

For everyone: was there an actual real possibility that the duck team could have lost?

For Jake: was there a universe where Calder takes the deal with Jovier to not swing his sword in the darkness?

For Shmemily: Your bard/paladin build is amazing. If you could come up for a hybrid name of the build, what would you call it?

For Caldwell: Where would you like to see Albin and Saul's magic school be built?

For Jake: Did you get to play enough of Calder? I'm relistening to C3 and when Calder is stuck in the helm for a few episodes I really miss him!

happy hoglidays!! first q is for murph: murph did u know ur instagram handle isn’t actually @chmurph so you aren’t actually “@chmurph is me”? second actual c3 q is: which PC and NPCs of the campaign are most likely to wear crocs?

I noticed a lot of similarities from the restoration of the feywild to the aboriginal Dreamtime creation story, the rainbow serpent! Did the idea of the serpents come from this story, if not, how did they come to be?

does murph play rocket league or mayhap watch the esport? if y to the first q, what rank are you brother? ggs y’all

What would happen if Moonshine or Beverly joined Duck Team instead of Hardwon? How would that go? What did Hardwon tell Moonshine and Beverly about Duck Team once he was back to the Astral Plane? (I know they’re being sieged but that had never stopped them from talking about whatever)

This one's for all of you: If you had one non-dice-related do-over, what would it be?

We ever coming back to twilight Sanctorum? Will Jake ever play a spell caster?

Hi sweeties, I was wondering if the green knights were successful in bringing back Queen Cirilla? signed, Twilight Sanctorum’s number 1 fan❤️

What are the things you’re most excited about doing next on naddpod?

Question for Murph: did you have an ending in mind when the campaign began? Did you see Alexandrite being the ending BBEG or did you always assume there was something else coming? PS You guys are great!

q for the rat with veneers, what elements are most important to consider for a final arc/session, and how do you make it feel like it’s “enough”? My 2 year campaign is coming to an end and I’m riding the struggle bus

During the final battle Queen Jovyre’s spell casting really made me wish I was playing a high lvl wizard/sorcerer. How did you pick out the spells for her? Did she have more spells that we didn’t see?

Q: I just started with this campaign, how do you feel knowing I will get to experience all of campaign 3 for the first time?

Q for James: when’re we getting that one shot buddy

Who would win in a fight between all the characters you have played?

for murph! if gunk were to be statted out like a pc, would he be an open sea paladin?

You’ve grown so much in this past year and experienced new playstyles, stories, and characters… so what has that growth taught you about your approach to storytelling and role-playing? How have these experiences shaped the way you view your characters and the world that has been created?

Fuck, marry, kill: Alexandrite, Jovyre, Glen

Have y'all heard the song Possum By Night by The Mountain Goats? You'd like it. Thanks for lovin and honouring lil creatures in your campaigns

As future campaign comes will become shorter forms, who are your wishlist for guest players? maybe even, a guess DM.

What would your titles be as C4's Knights of the Prawn Table? And Murph, will they be pulling a lobster claw from a clamshell?

How have the past characters you've played (Naddpod, D20, or elsewhere) shaped your play in now? What did your past characters teach you about the way you strategize or improvise?
