[Skaldova spoilers] Came back here from the future to say that I think Jake could really like the Call of Cthulhu system; it’s very intuitive for low-magic fantasy. Skaldova easily could have been a Call of Cthulhu mini campaign. Cults, old magic artefacts, and experimental drugs derived from dead gods are common plot devices in the universe. There’s even a pre-built campaign (can’t remember the name; sorry!) that I GM’ed ages ago that centres around a pitch-black drug derived from an Old God’s blood that’s being sold by a cult to university students.

2025-06-24 02:31:58 +0000 UTCI can't begin to express how interested I am in not only watching the NADDPOD gang play Magic, but also to watch you all play the Magic modules in D&D. NADDPOD Ravnica would be amazing
Don Johnson
2025-05-21 10:06:08 +0000 UTCDon't worry Jake I knew what song it was from your singing

2025-04-03 04:07:21 +0000 UTCAlso, red panda in a tiny sombrero. First thought, best thought!
J. Gro
2025-02-14 08:53:06 +0000 UTCEvidence for murph becoming less of a hard ass as a dm, I recently relistened to C1 and the scene where Beverly wants to shove a javelin in a crocodile’s mouth, murph immediately shuts it down.. new murph would absolutely allow that!
Joshua Qualls
2024-12-27 01:00:12 +0000 UTCI would totally watch a mixed bag of you guys playing Commander!!
Darkrisky
2024-12-18 02:17:57 +0000 UTCI would love to see y'all play Magic the Gathering. It's been years since I've played, and it would be cool to see how the game has changed in that time

Grass
2024-12-07 22:10:11 +0000 UTCI feel like if Jake were to play MTG he would definitely be a Timmy, and for that I suggest Gishath
Rageboots
2024-12-07 13:33:17 +0000 UTCI would love to see the shenanigans that Emily could do in cyberpunk red. I'd also love to see the character she would make.
CyberByte
2024-12-06 20:58:39 +0000 UTCPlease MTG!
Eric Dong
2024-12-06 18:03:55 +0000 UTCI would LOVE to see yall do some MTG stuff! I just got into magic in the last few months playing commander with friends so knowing most of yall play as well is awesome! I'm excited to see what systems you all get into with the shorter stories, there's some really amazing stuff out there and I feel like y'all touched on a almost early Shadowrun world with this season and magitech becoming more prevalent
Juicedmark
2024-12-05 21:53:29 +0000 UTCI also have a commander deck with that Hydra and I love it. It was awesome seeing Emily play it on Critical Role the other day. She went easy on 'em!
Lonestar
2024-12-05 16:17:08 +0000 UTCAbsolutely need a magic stream or video
Stephen Fike
2024-12-04 20:42:03 +0000 UTCEmily, if you love Simic, look into a Volo, Guide to Monsters deck. It's my favorite commander, because it incentives using multiple creature types.
Kyle Patch
2024-12-04 18:52:04 +0000 UTCABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY INTEREST AMONG ME AND FELLOW NADDPOLES sorry I’m screaming—I’ve been extremely hopeful you guys would play magic the gathering for a mixed bag or something! Friends agreed too ^-^
Alex DiFiore
2024-12-04 06:11:06 +0000 UTCShadowrun is my fav system. Really different system but my gosh it's fun!

Madelyn S

geekvery
2024-12-02 14:54:32 +0000 UTCI'd watch a magic mixed bag. Also I'm the Merph of my magic group. Everyone knows I build weird stuff and if you let me do my thing then before you know it you're using someone else's hand to play. So I'm usually the first to be targeted.
Ghost
2024-12-02 12:37:28 +0000 UTCI have never watched Magic or played Magic except once with my uncle and cousin -- and I would LOVE to watch you guys play Magic. Thanks for all the great content!!!

Tommy Self
2024-12-01 21:25:18 +0000 UTCYou guys gotta listen to The Howling Salt Mine — it’s Dungeon Court for Commander MTG!!! The host, Sam, is a huge NADDPOD fan Also any time yall have brought up Commander the last few months I get giddy
Lindsay Lee
2024-12-01 18:41:20 +0000 UTCIf you did do an mtg mixed bag, it could be fun to build decks for each person based on their characters. Like Jake playing Jorn, God of Winter because Calder is snow/ice themed, Moonshine is elves tribal or hugs, Jens is a fight deck because he challenges people to duels, etc… Could even have Caldwell make proxy art for the commanders so they are the characters but have the cards abilities! (Like the Godzilla cards in the Ikoria set)

skat
2024-12-01 00:34:56 +0000 UTCIt sounds like you guys should try "Monster of the Week" as a potential new system it's a very simple D6 system that focuses heavily on RP and story telling that's incredibly easy to learn and each player class is built around the idea of a different horror stereotype
Bradly
2024-11-30 20:14:35 +0000 UTCI am so interested in seeing you guys play MTG!!!
Phillip Astorino
2024-11-30 20:11:49 +0000 UTCRandomly restarted campaign three after listening to this and Murph is describing the 5 kingdoms 200 years later starts getting into asmodia and sure enough Caldwell yells out “how’s the food, though?”

Colten Payne
2024-11-30 15:37:00 +0000 UTCAdding my interest in a Magic the Gathering mixed bag! I stopped playing around the time Planeswalkers came out so this commander thing, and Em's excitement, has piqued my interest again!

Hex Sharpe
2024-11-30 00:52:27 +0000 UTCRe: Call of Cthulhu i feel like people make a lot of assumptions about the system but the newest edition is pretty well constructed and covers a lot of the things people are skeptical about (fraught terms like "madness" for example). Also NADDPod is literally full of players RPing being charmed or otherwise being told how to roleplay so that doesn't seem like much of an issue
Alex H.
2024-11-29 23:38:03 +0000 UTCHell yeah NADDPod MTG mixed bag!
Akira
2024-11-29 22:27:57 +0000 UTCSo absolutely true about Murph being less of a hardass, I’m relistening to C1 and there is NO way C1 Murph would have let the Gunk shit fly

Hostage4hire
2024-11-29 21:59:07 +0000 UTCI literally had to grab my phone off the counter — almost falling out of the shower, mind you — to recommend that y'all play the Shiver system!! Your character is a horror movie archetype (I was the "experiment" when I played with friends in a summer camp setting) and the system is both easy to learn and has devastating consequences if it comes to that.
Skyler G.

Elise Brinkmann
2024-11-29 18:29:39 +0000 UTCI love call of Cthulhu and would love to listen to y’all play it! Shadowrun is cool too but it’s so crunchy that it would be a lot to learn for a short campaign

2024-11-29 17:03:30 +0000 UTCI would love to hear the gang play through the pathfinder beginners set. I have listened to those 4 episodes religiously they make me laugh so hard. Caldwell as the dm in there really shined too
Austin Wiggin
2024-11-29 16:32:21 +0000 UTCI would LOVE a Commander video. Seeing Murph hit the table with "Krenko Kranks" would be awesome. Thanks for answering my question on my birthday!
Nick
2024-11-29 15:44:05 +0000 UTCI’d watch the hell out of a magic the gathering session! I have no idea how magic works, but I didn’t know how DnD worked until I listened to your show either. Some business advice for y’all (or just for Cake I guess). Y’all should advertise what you put on your mixed bag tier more often. Like I’m only at the short rest tier and I really have no idea what I’m missing by not paying for the higher tier stuff. You might be able to get more of my money…

2024-11-29 09:17:19 +0000 UTCThe one game I would absolutely love to see them play is Fiasco. It would only be good for a one shot but since it's an improv game with no prep it might make a good off week episode. 0 it's basically about a group of people hatching a stupid plan and then immediately self-destructing. It's amazing.

2024-11-29 07:35:29 +0000 UTCMurph is such a good little paladin. Immediately volunteering to be the one to be sacrificed, he can play a shithead but he can’t escape Lawful Good in the real world.

2024-11-29 04:33:16 +0000 UTCKids on Bikes seems like it would be a good system for a slasher-flick style one-shot. Maybe a camp counselor themed thing, like that video game Murph and Emily did voice work for

2024-11-29 01:28:25 +0000 UTCI feel the exact same way about movies Jake. I really dislike nihilistic horror movies and nihilistic movies in general even when they are really good. Like Hereditary I can appreciate is a good horror movie but I don’t want to rewatch it ever again.

Nick Lerche
2024-11-28 19:09:32 +0000 UTCThere is a super fun (and funny) game called Die Laughing which is exactly what Murph described - all the player characters are horror movie archetypes. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to play and would make an amazing one shot. The game can handle 7 or 8 players easily and players take turns as the director (GM) so everyone gets to play. After your character dies, you become a producer which has its own powers, so you aren’t out of the game completely. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/263554/die-laughing I played it three times at BigBadCon and it was so fun! (shout out to Karl Kreutzer for running it!)

2024-11-28 18:06:55 +0000 UTCI love these holiday hearthside chats. I also really want to say thank you to the entire 2 Crew for everything you guys do. Campaign 1 was my first introduction to D&D, and I feel like my appreciation and enjoyment for TTRPGs has grown alongside each campaign you all have done. Immersing myself in Bahumia and Eldermourne with you incredibly charming folks has gotten me through family troubles, a pandemic, career changes, and uncertainty about the world. Thank you band of boobs for being your wonderful selves
