ABT time let’s goooooooooooo!!!!

katie potato

Heck yeah as a british person and austen/siobhan thompson/history/romance/book fan, this ep is a GODSEND

Jeffrey H.

Hoping everyone is safe and sound, can’t wait for the hijinks

Geraint

Hey gang, I've only just listened to the recommendations ep. Please read Gideon the Ninth! Incredible and hilarious sci fi book, I promise you'll love it

Kelly McKew

Love an adventure book theat(re)!! Hope y'all are staying safe 💜

austinoxner

They are saying glad for posting but worried about the crew in Cali because of fires and afraid the posts are coming automatically so not sure if posting means crew is safe or if the posts are coming auto.

austinoxner

Fuck yes. A beautiful gift for a snow day stuck at home in the south.

thiswayjose

Hope y’all are staying safe over in LA!!

thiswayjose

God. I missed 8 Bit Book Clubs. I’m dying laughing.

Blaize Gordon

I honestly would love to see the crew play magic, they talk about it enough everywhere else, I feel like it'd be hilarious

Rafael C

Thanks for this, I'm obsessed with how off the rails 8-bit-book club gets! Hope you're all safe and sound over there 🫂

The Grinch (feral)

Hope you guys are alright. This was fucking hilarious

aiyana graham art

love Siobhan insisting "she's a whore" and murph being like "okay I can't say that or agree with you"

Kelley

The Bennet cousin is unmarried, she only should be wearing white to balls (camo for snowy landscapes)

Mikel

They seemed super interested in the "Fitz" name - Robin Hobb has an amazing series of fantasy books about a Fitz, would highly recommend!

Mikel

"I push her" ended me

Laura !

i read a book called The Other Bennet Sister about mary! it is the only austen spin off i recommend to people. if you hate mary give it a chance!!

Lindsey

Genuinely curious which dude was the "good" ending - gotta be muscles, right?

Travis Dreelin

I really enjoyed the vibe of doing a Jane Austen adventure book. It's different, it's hip, and I enjoyed it.

Caleb Horton

I’ve always said that what Pride and Prejudice was missing was Atlantis

Kendall 🎶

“We are never going to get to give away our dowry if you guys don’t relax!!!” This skyrocketed to the top of my list of “favorite things anyone has ever said on NADDPOD.” Thank you, Murph.

dryptid

was coming to say basically the same thing - this line killed me

Clever Innuendo

I never thought I'd ever want to hear more Pride and Prejiduce.

James Cherenzia

"Did it hurt when you surfaced from the ocean" Jesus christ lmao

kin

TOM WAMBSGANS MENTION ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Proopypants

This was particularly stupid and I loved it ❤️🫡

brainrockets

I loved this. The energy was unhinged and hilarious. Hope you are safe. Would love to see y'all play some Good Society 👍

Sarah

Hope everyone is safe - thinking of y’all ❤️

ak

I could listen to ten hours of this

Vaelyhn

I demand you finish this whole book, regardless of how long it takes.

ak

I had to pause to cackle after Caldwell went OW!

Pensulliwen

Gasped out loud and whispered “Siobhan” into my empty room upon seeing this, like some sort of minimalist summoning spell.

Cody Gustafson

I hope you five and anybody in LA are safe. Crazy times right now. Reach out if any one needs help boarding a furry friend.

Adamantium

“She’s playing Commander, shit.” Well done, Caldwell!

DarthTurkey28

LOVED the Atlantis bit! “Did it hurt?” “…salt water… SALT WATER!”

Claudine

Headcanon: since the protagonist essentially vanishes, Mr Fitzroywhatshisname is suspected of murder and gets his comeuppance that way.

Dag Swanials

Has anyone heard from the NADDPOD TEAM? Is everyone okay?

Not Another D&D Podcast

We are all good at the moment. Our houses, families and critters are all safe and secure. Thank you for checking in! ~Caldwell

Kelso of the Sea

Glad to hear y’all are safe and sound! Also- MORE SIOBHAN!! I had to take a walking break on my run today because I was laughing too hard

Dag Swanials

So glad to hear! Thank you Caldwell, I know I'm just a fan, and I didn't want to bother you all, but my wife and I were so worried.

BJ Louise

I’ve been among the many eager to hear an update about your safety, I had to remind myself that you don’t owe us one until you’re ready. Thank you for taking the time to put us at ease in this horrific time. I am so happy to hear you all are well and am sending so much love your way. You’ve brought this community so much joy and comfort I hope you’ll give us opportunities to provide the same to you in this time. Much love ❤️.

Henry Targett

Omg. I reside in Sailsbury. Thats fun

A.J.

my edwardian father disappeared in the amazon while he was researching spiders before he died

Nikolaus Cox

Guys - a Regency-Era Atlantis mystery combined with a Grail quest, staring socialites, Templars, steampunk inventors, and a race of sentient fish men is SUCH a fun adventure premise to pull out of this choose-your-own-adventure book! I can already see the graphic novel! The movie! The DnD campaign! Set against the backdrop of Napoleonic war, a king’s madness, and the cloying social etiquette of the period, a team of unconventional women search for the bathysphere that never surfaced.

SurvingLaw

Would love to have more 8 Bit Book Club and less Dungeon Court

kiarra burd

"i push jane" i stg jake has been menace ever since he played mavid

Oakworthy Vineyards

I just want to say that I hope those of y’all in LA are safe, healthy, and well. ❤️

Witpending

Siobhan was truly the perfect guest for this one.

Tiffany

Caldwell replied below to say all is well! ❤️

Witch of the Wandering Thought

This was maybe my favorite episode of a choose your own adventure. Siobhan was the perfect guest for this episode. I love how Murph got really into the world and was trying to enjoy his first regency ball, but there’re no regency balls in Atlantis.

Jake Klein

So I just learned of the Animorphs tv series… we’ve never needed anything more than for the crew to do an animorphs mixed bag or 8bbc

Hammy

I watched Pride and Prejudice just to have some context for this

JR Lonergan

The Historian is a great book

Lia

"Wiggles his chin" invokes the Kodama head motions from Princess Mononoke for me, and I can't stop laughing

Holden

So glad you guys are safe. This might be one of my favorite episodes ever. I’m laughing so hard.

Meghan

Jake so strongly disliking the cut of the pink dress got me 🤣🤣

Eric G

Adventure book theater is the best!

Ryan

Siobhan added such good context to the story . Fantastic guest as always.

Taylor Manes

“we’re never gonna get to give away our dowry if you guys don’t relax” has rocketed to the top of my list of favorite murph sounds.

Diana Foti

Hope you all are safe.

Susan Rattigan

The way I *immediately* bought the 5 dollar Kindle version and I am reading it in Murph’s voice and cackling to my dog…

Jelly

Siobhan was such a delight on this

hellohallo

Would Siobhan be willing to do a book recs list? :o All these books sound rad.

Jenneryy

This episode made me laugh so hard I was having to wipe my eyes while driving! Omg so good. Yes please, more insane romance choose your own adventure!

Alan Ma

When the book is about adventure, they're obsessed with romance. When it's about romance, they're obsessed with adventure.

Hammy

It’s a lot funnier than I expected. The period dialogue is so sparkly. The ending with the sunrise shot was stunning. Mr. Darcy’s hand flex was also such an incredible detail. It’s conveyed so much visually, which is so important for a book adaptation. I can see why the book and the movie are in the cultural canon.

Blue Bee

I love how all Murph needed to get on the Beauchamp train was to hear that he was muscular

Evan

Wrestling brain

Greg Jovi

Man the crews inherent need to shift in as far of a direction away from the story is truly inspiring. I love these adventure books so muc

Suzanna DePeri

Sometimes you can tell in the first 90 seconds that Emily is coming in with the silliest energy of all time

Maximus Awesomeness

I just watched pride and prejudice I was very disappointed it had nothing to do with Atlantis

Harry Frost

Haha this is awesome; I'm an audiobook narrator and have done like a hundred or so Pride and Prejudice variations (Jane Austen fanfic)! This is my life, day to day!

DMCDawg

When can we expect some “Seek the Chronorbulon” merch?

erin sandvold

Siobhan's book rec at the end: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova is such a good book! a bit of a beast to get through but such a great historical fiction with Dracula.

HiccupIV

Completely agree, and it was also her first published book.

Hrishi Venkatesh

I just read Pride and Prejudice for the first time, so that I could re-listen and get it better. Great book, should have read it sooner.

Erick_with_a_c_and_a_k

I love Murph’s 8 bit book club catch phrase “Every one, shut the fuck up.”

Onna

Beauchamp and Lane’s endings are both really sweet, I’d love to see y’all try those routes to the end!

MsMagey

Great idea! I'm gonna copy you

Alan Ma

As if they won't immediately twist those endings into something Atlantis-related

Onna

Haha a happy ever after searching for Atlantis together is cute as hell. 😂

Winterbat

I second Siobhan’s suggestion. I read The Historian 8 years ago and it was very fun read.

Borgar

I unironically want to see all the potential outcomes, wish they went for a second run like other 8BBC books

charred leeks

One of the funniest choose your own adventures y’all have done! I’ve listened to it multiple times already and just absolutely cackling

A$

I have to come back and listen to this later because it’s so funny I’m bursting out laughing in bed while my partner tries to sleep

J. Gro

I may have to purchase this book for myself...

J. Gro

I'll just throw it out there that there is a game called "Marrying Mr. Darcy." I enjoy it because P&P is my favorite book, but I think it can be appreciated from a silly angle as well. I think the 2 Crew would have a field day with it!

Alex Tong

mr fitzroy kissing the hand...... willie foreshadowing

Rain Elizabeth

"did it hurt? Did it hurt when you surfaced from the ocean" absolutely killed me

Gilligan Froggert

truly, i remember him saying that he and Jake had such reverence for muscular physique and now i see it everywhere in their decisions.

Gilligan Froggert

it sounds like the most bro-y character in a p&p setting, “dude can you fucking chill, i’m trying to remember silverware etiquette, Mr. Beauchamp is literally right there”

sam s.

i’ve probably listened to this episode ~ 25 times at this point and it’s never gotten less funny. absolute all timer.

Asteroid

Would you all consider an episode of My Lady’s Choosing or is that too explicit?
