I know there have been other cases that have made me as angry as the first one with the DM "trapping" his friend, but I can't think of them, because MAN that made me angry.

I love the dark swoles talk but for the past like 6 years, whenever I play dark souls, I do my version of dark swoles. I do 10 reps of any workout whenever I die. Being sore teaches you to really time your rolls haha

Oh wow, I went to find a link to the game but it turned out that the creator did a kickstarter for the 2nd ed and ran away with the kickstarter money.
https://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1368035676841.pdf
Here's the pdf of the original 1st ed. I think, given what happened, this is probably ethical enough to share haha

There's a ttrpg called the Mountain Witch where the backstory is not known to anyone including the GM. The game is split into 2 acts, the first will be for the party to travel to confront the mountain witch and it will only end when all players have revealed their backstreet. The second act is them confronting the mountain witch. So there are games where the backstory is hidden from even the GM but The Mountain Witch is a very specific story

The Aladdin reference by Caldwell during the confession made me lol at work 😂. Thank you

What they should have done, is just polymorphed the guy into a mimic. Then he could easily have disguised as a lamp

It’s from The Deceptive Blood Hunter from August 2023! I just randomly put this episode on right after I finished it and thought I was going crazy.

For everyone wondering about the hypnotic pattern question, you’re not crazy! It’s originally from the bonus cases episode “The Deceptive Blood Hunter” from August 3rd, 2023, word for word the same case! I happened to be listening to this episode today and thought I was going insane when I heard it.
My name is Chris Roman and I just got Punk’d

I love that! I might incorporate the ring with this caveat in my fey themed campaign!
Mirjam K
2024-08-25 17:19:43 +0000 UTC
We have definitely heard the hypnotic pattern case before, right?
also, for cure hounds I would have ruled that this was a healing spell that only works on werewolves but heals them an additional d6 or so
Mirjam K
2024-08-25 17:18:50 +0000 UTC
Ring of the Grammarian should have a 'Staff of One' clause where you can only use any spelling once. Cure Hounds could summon a St. Bernard Familiar with 1d4 healing potions strapped to its collar or smth.

The dirty talk last episode made Emily too power, she comes in and punks Murph in the first minute
Jake the Accountant
2024-08-25 01:11:15 +0000 UTC
And the ring... That was submitted but they were talking about a spell that made a lot of money, not lycanthropy...
Heliks
2024-08-24 22:26:59 +0000 UTC
Wait wait wait... Didn't someone send in that hypnotic pattern case before? I swear I've heard this situation beat for beat...
Heliks

I'd love cure hounds to make them not transform into a wolf anymore, but they still become a predator humanoid at the full moon

I did an actual double take. I thought I'd time traveled to a previous episode. But I can't remember which episode it was!
Thom Scullion
2024-08-24 20:30:18 +0000 UTC
No seriously, haven’t we seen a case of a DM stating the monster failed a save while being immune to charm in the first place?

This episode triggered such a strong sense of Deja vu that I’m starting to believe I’ve been punked
BOB BOBERSON
2024-08-24 16:42:48 +0000 UTC
I think their is also a type of “experienced player” who just doesn’t realize the other people need/want to build foundation with the game before putting some crazy spin on things to “keep it interesting” or whatever.

Great way for your players to not trust you the next time you’re actually trying to corse correct a game.

This was how I read it. They forgot that the artificer suggested stone shaping after and were more thinking could you hide in shaped stone.

Yeah definitely had this before!

It’s basically the DM being the Devil instead of the God of the world. I can’t get behind that. I would do something fictionally “immoral” if a friend implied that it would help them and/or me irl. (Mostly them). I would away from that table with no regrets.
Elizabeth Gunn

Michiganders sound off whether Bev Senior is a Lafayette or American Coney Island fan according to the new lore drop from Murph.
I vote Lafayette.
Matt
2024-08-24 03:34:56 +0000 UTC
My mind almost blew twice since we’ve also had a Ring of the Grammarian changing 1 letter in a spell in a case before also, but that at least was otherwise different. But they Hypnotic pattern question did feel identical

The stories of these psychopathic “experienced players” taking advantage of new dms for their power fantasies are troubling, and way too common

I thought of Weavil instead of Buizel
Kathryn Martin

A workout app / gym where Murph tells a story and then yells at you about a dragon chasing you while Emily’s music pushes you along would make me run more. I’ll pay for it. So much. 😅
A. Lee. S
2024-08-24 02:00:28 +0000 UTC
But what if the artificier shaped it first and then they melded in to it. As long as it was big enough for them it should work

Everyone saying they were punked at the end was the cutest, too tier caldwell take out

I was positive that case was gonna end with Cake saying they had just been punked

But you could make some stone into a lamp or otherwise large enough object and then meld into it.

There's a Paw Paw, Michigan and a Niles, Michigan, as well as a Climax, Michigan (unrelated to naddpod but it's just fun) and now a direct Michigan callout on an episode...we need a Michigan live show
Kellyd
2024-08-23 21:34:27 +0000 UTC
Yup. Here I am not even having had one of my cases read and homie got his ruled on twice. Why not cool it Ya Boi Troy?
Doctor Ransom
2024-08-23 21:21:20 +0000 UTC
Yeah they already ruled on this one a while ago. Strange that whoever’s case this was they felt the need to resubmit it? Or is this a clerical error by Mr. Odenhurtz?

i swear we've already heard the hypnotic pattern case before, down to the detail of saying he failed the saving throw and the barbarian leaving their rage...

Who is the Dax Shepard of NADDPOD and why is it Caldwell?
Totally Offside
2024-08-23 19:13:56 +0000 UTC
Ok good I was thinking the same thing. It sounds exactly like one they answered a while ago. I remember Caldwell saying “what is with these dry narrations? How do you not narrate something being affected?”. There are new insights and commentary tho so it’s all good.
RoadTrain
2024-08-23 18:58:04 +0000 UTC
Honestly, big disagree on the first case. The DM continued keyfabe outside of the game. To me it read like the DM wanted to really test the mettle of their player, which I think is really great ngl.

“Minor physical damage to the stone doesn't harm you, but its partial destruction or a change in its shape (to the extent that you no longer fit within it) expels you and deals 6d6 bludgeoning damage to you” -Meld to Stone
I dun know what the two crew is going on about, but it seems to me that you clearly can’t change the melded person into a table lamp
Anthony Spyropoulos
2024-08-23 18:42:49 +0000 UTC
That question with the hypnotic spell sounds familiar, I think they've already ruled on it in an early episode.

Not knowing someone’s backstory reminds me of the 5e module where all the players wake up with no memories of who they were (Turn of Fortune’s Wheel).
