My dnd session for this week just ended, what a perfect time to listen to some dungeon court! 😁

Hashtaggles

I’ve been Jonesin for some cases from the less than reputable bailiff…James? Jared? Jezechiah?

Noemi T Quinones

The last time I was this early Gemma was alive

Magic zur

I'm dming my first time tomorrow lol wish me luck.

Huascar Holguin

Yay!!! Emily got her bucket hat!!! I’m so incredibly happy. Sorry Murph, I know you’re probably so pissed

Rachel

And I’m actually going to the dentist tomorrow

margot d

It’s on the insta story! Froggy bucket hat ftw

Mogrim

Great Ep. Cracked me up!

Mogrim

They could have you know talked to the warforged instead of going straight to murder.

Liam Cornell

Idk why but I really want to hear Murph play an npc that just gets sooo angry like Murph in the early college humour sketches.

Leif_millelnuie

Didn't murph walk at least 16 miles in a day for that one challenge on College Humor where he had to walk back to New Jersey ?

Myka Donati

This week's episode: The Gang worldbuilds a furry campaign

9on

emily pls let us know what u think of the village

Tom J

Monday Night RAW - Cody Rhodes announces he's changed his mind, he won't be fighting Roman Reigns for the title at WrestleMania, instead he's giving his Royal Rumble Title Shot to someone who deserves it more than him: MURPH!

Dan Neesham

I need to know if murph had ‘Leicester Square’ written out phonetically - props either way 😎

Natural Dragon

Murph how angry are you that Caldwell got a banned hat for Emily? I sure hope Emily asked for permission to put it on from Murph first. Hell hath no fury like a murph scorned about bucket hats. Thankfully it wasn’t an anchorman bucket hat. I don’t know what Murph would do if that happened…

Mr. Dude Sky

Murph the raptor question straight up say “ambush” my dude. A lot of these gripes can be solved by listening lol

2026-09-05 07:00 Throws book on table. I found the wrinkle! Dino racing is from Tomb of Annihilation and this is what the random encounter sections states. “Random encounters aren’t tailored to characters of a particular level. If the characters encounter hostile creatures beyond their ability to defeat, give them opportunities to run, hide, negotiate, or otherwise avoid certain death. You can also have other creatures arrive and provide a distraction that the characters can use to make their escape. For example, if a character needs to make a crucial ability check or saving throw, you can have a chwinga (see appendix D) appear, cast guidance or resistance on the character, and then disappear on its next turn.” So “DM shenanigans” was totally a by the book option, but seriously though that is a case by case judgement call. I personally don’t think a big pack of raptors is an impossible encounter for a mid level party and this is just a case of bad beats rolling. The dice told their story and the story was they were destined to be dino dinner. Edit* also the Raptor encounter DOES call for a single group stealth check in it’s entry so that was totally above board furthermore it actaully 3d6 raptors not 2d6 so 11 isn’t even that huge an outliner. Full text for anyone wondering: “Velociraptor. A pack of 3d6 velociraptors (see appendix D) burst out from behind cover and attack. Make a single Dexterity (Stealth) check for the dinosaurs, with advantage. Any character whose passive Wisdom (Perception) score equals or exceeds the velociraptors’ check result is not surprised.“

“Name a character from Jurassic Park!” “Muldone!” Literally the guy who gets ambushed by velociraptors and say the icon ‘clever girl’

Pip

What a great episode! Stig seems like someone who has no regrets and I’m not sure if that is a good thing.

Heidi Nehls

Seems likely the DM didn’t have to roll all 44 attacks before the evisceration occurred

becs

i always love when murph gets really worked up about the logistics of something so ridiculous like horse jeans

Pamphleteer

Clearly Murph has never gotten trapped in horse hoof cleaning tiktok at 2 a.m.

Andrea Quinn

If Jake ever happens to be on an episode of 8 Bit Book Club, let me know. I’ll happily edit him out for you guys. (In the unlikely event he worms his way into an episode, of course,)

Michelle Spurgeon

How do you integrate Patreon and spotify? I have tried in the past and can't figure it out!

Gearbox

That bucket hat needs to be the bonus cases thumbnail

Sam

On Spotify there is NaddPod Patreon Exclusives click that and if I remember correctly to unlock it you just have to log in to your Patreon account.

Vinnyorcharles

I joined a virtual table with some friends during lockdown, and the DM actively changed the spell list for my wizard without telling me, and decided I wasn't allowed to know identify or counterspell after I picked them. I feel that barbarian's pain.

Noah Crozier

Yah, I'm here on Patreon looking for the bucket hat

xatlern

I'm going to be thinking about "Dragon Maestro" so so much now, so thanks for that.

Ben Delahay

The Velociraptor random encounter specifically tells them to roll stealth. Everything was above board.

Spoon_the_anonymous

RAW can’t you only crit on attack rolls, and skill checks are non critical 20’s

Ben Delahay

My generous read for the Warforged is that the DM should not have had them roll initiative. That was just asking for a fight. The GM should have gone above the table and been like, “hold on.”

iliketodrawdinosaurs

The frog's eyes are vacant ... But in a sexy way 😂😂😂

Mayor of Clown Town

Emily, I don’t want to presume to know your tastes but I feel deeply in my heart that you would LOVE m. Night shyamalan’s the village

Josiah Muskrat

Can you guys please focus just a LITTLE more on the cases?? 3 in an hour is ridiculous. And the chatter has gotten out of hand, you have after shows and mixed bags for that.

Ferniliar

Stig is my fuckin hero 😂😂

ACK

Booooo, hisssss!

Matty H

Scoutmaster Denny has go away heat

Michelle Spurgeon

Do you have to have a premium spotify? I don't see anything for patreon for either of the podcasts I support.

Josiah Muskrat

This is not an unreasonable request. And I’m not a hater, I have paid them $5-$15 a month for YEARS. And I’m voicing an opinion about how their quality of show has dropped, due to them being a little out of control with the self-congratulatory nonsense. Also, I’m the only one of my friend group who even still listens, they have lost three dedicated listeners that I know of because of this same issue.

Patrick Sullivan

lolwut shooting the shit is in the DNA of NADPod. How were you even a fan in the first place? Also, I'm not acknowledging your "friend group" because they're definitely made up

han!!!!

i could only figure out how to do this on desktop, but settings -> more (dropdown) -> connected apps -> spotify

Michelle Spurgeon

I see. Thank you. I don't think I've ever used either app on a desktop.

Kellyd

Who is holding your credit card hostage forcing you to pay every month? Lots of people love the content as it is, you are not The Decider

Scott Nisbet

3d6 is a crazy amount of raptors, my god

Jody

They posted it on naddpod IG!

AgedGouda

This is why you don’t always play 100 percent by the book. Balance your encounters. 44 attacks is insane lmao

AgedGouda

Accusing someone of making up friends is wild 🤣 I got no reason to doubt them. I still enjoy the show thoroughly, but if them and their friends are frustrated I believe it

AgedGouda

How is their talking self congratulatory??

AgedGouda

Wait I think I counted 5 cases before the confession? Sneaky 11 raptors, talk to animals, warforged mind flayer, future crime/bad heat with Sir Aiden, and the npc meat shield. How many do they usually do?? 5 feels normal

Chloe Peifly

dude, unsubscribe then. @agedgouda is right, 5 cases and a confession. i don’t understand what you mean by self-congratulatory? i’m sure in the time your friends stopped listening, more people started listening. you’re not required to keep listening, they’re not required to change how they do their show because of your opinions. this honestly seems a little rage bait-y

Tim

Totally agree, just one question: why do you hate fun?

squalor and splendor

Thr meatshield one resulting in a death: i dm pf2e and have a player who misses a few games so I'll run him for combat. He was crit and went down and had a disease that kept him from being healed or made it harder and he died. Rather than kill him I just made him unavailable the rest of the session so rhey were down one

FiendishNoodles

I would be remiss to not mention the college humor video where murph loses a single round of rock paper scissors and as a penalty has to walk 50 miles from Brooklyn to his parent's house in New Jersey. Good stuff

Stations & Starships

Rolling the dice until you get a nat20 is devotion to the anti-dice

Quantum OFZENTRIX

Did anyone else think of the other meaning of docker?

Patrick Schiller

I can’t believe the raptors question is how I found out none of these cats play Catan

Matt Gustavson

The chatter is the heart of the pod! The first ep started with this

Matt Gustavson

I think many groups, possibly theirs included that out of combat crusts are still crusts, not sure though

Scarlett B

Based on the Dino races, jewelery market heist, and raptor encounter in a jungle, I'm guessing the first question was playing Tomb of Annihilation. The velociraptor encounter reads as follows: Velociraptor. A pack of 3d6 velociraptors burst out from behind cover and attack. Make a single Dexterity (Stealth) check for the dinosaurs, with advantage. Any character whose passive Wisdom (Perception) score equals or exceeds the velociraptors' check result is not surprised. TPK Extraordinare was on the level.

Audro Baggins

All I could think of when Murph found the wrinkle was ‘I’m PLEATing with you.’

Audro Baggins

Oh I posted this too soon! He says it like 5 min later lol

Saru

Caldwell talking about the several "Mask of Many Faces" reveal made me think of the Face Changing in Sichuan Opera, so I think he has a point there. That really tickled me.

antibob

Omg I would love if amir featured againnnn

Sebastian M.

Just do what you love, don't listen to the hater!

xeladonnovan

The PAUSE of him patiently waiting to be bullied xD

Jordan Holl

The internet has ruined me so much that when the title said "Elk Dockers" I was expecting something.... very different

Tim

I would watch Murph fight Shinsuke Nakamura

DazWaz

STIG!! He's who I aspire to be.

JL

Interesting, that's pretty poorly designed then. Surprised is an extremely powerful mechanic that is balanced around the fact that it's nearly impossible to pull off with multiple combatants. Group stealth is infamously difficult both in real life and in DND, and this is reflected in the mechanics by normally making every individual roll separately. Because even a single failed stealth roll prevents the surprised status for every person who succeeded their perception, the odds of successfully rolling 11 stealth passes are vastly smaller than rolling 1. So yes, TPK Extraordinaire was going by the book, but the book was poorly designed so... Yeah. Can't really blame them for trusting in the book I guess.

Summer Tribe

not only does the book circumvent regular stealth rules to make things harder but 3-18 enemies is such an unhinged potential margin of outcome, even with the bellcurve. I ran a module where the enemies occasionally came in packs of 2d4 and even that amount of swinginess was stupid, 3d6 is just absurdly dumb and is the kind of thing that a developer can only come up with by not thinking at all

Summer Tribe

frankly the DM needed to rewrite the encounter. "give them opportunities to run, hide, negotiate" does not work with "3-18 creatures with pack tactics roll a single stealth roll thus circumventing the stealth rules". the only workaround for that is just a strong party or scouting. even with a chwinga helping somehow I don't think a creature coming in after two party members have been downed is really gonna be at all satisfying or interesting

Summer Tribe

hating listening to comedians riffing with each other would be fair if you hadn't opted to specifically subscribe to listening to comedians riffing with each other

Ken W

This post / episode is missing the Ad Free Episode tag.

Summer Tribe

their time is already committed to several far better games. catan may have been foundational in getting the americas into more complex board games but it's just so dreadful

Adrian Woodhouse

Is... Is that the guy from the Hardly Working sketch about Jumping the Shark in which David was threatening to jump over Murph's desk?

Kerri

God bless or get neglected, are these why lyrics? Love them

Doctor Ransom

Wow is this an actual unironic comment? What’s your deal dude? Asking for real what you’re still doing here? We all come here for the CHATTER. Haha can’t believe you were actually being genuine with this comment. No one’s forcing you to listen. Best recommendation is to chill out.

Coby Smith

I love that Murph didn't mention/forgot that he lost a game of rock paper scissors and had to walk 50 miles to his parents house 😂

John EldenRing

In the case of not being able to talk to a horse with the horse talking spell, it would be funny if they heard it screaming without the spell but with it they were just screaming in common

Aileen Garcia

The way I, the player, always apologize when there's any pvp (our characters often practice abilities to learn our limitations as we play low magic worlds)
