zu crew zu crew

TacoLord

i just want to listen to Jake describe things for 2 hours

Professor Pratt

Yesss! Just heard my notification chime!!!!

Lee

Great ep listened at x10 speed

austinoxner

So pumped. Jake, we all want you to know that this season fucking rules.

Professor Pratt

I just caught that: Welly’s dirty 20 is an “indecent 20”.

Drayser

Let's go!

Jason Emmanuel

LETS FUCKING GOOOO! Loving this campaign and Jake is a natural GM!

Chris Swank

Chiming in to say imo this the best stuff I’ve heard out of naddpod in a long while (it’s all great of course!) props to Jake and crew

Ron A.

Jake is killing it!

Help_I_Can’t_Sleep

What I wouldn’t give to be a part of this friend group, they just seem to always be having fun, and they’re all so talented!

Nick McCornack

Truly the best birthday present I could’ve gotten!!

Alex Mayhem

I *screamed* with Emily at the end!

Emma41420

🫶💞✨️🎶🌿🎉🎶

Cal

HYPED, HELL YEAH

Ezzy

Loving this campaign so far! Great job DM Jake <3

Aaron Sterne

Halfway through the episode but this zudrick crash out is great

Vee

Joseph did an amazing job

Jack

Scaldovas not going to be Bahamian millions of years in the future is it? That would be fucking amazing

Blaize Gordon

Im in the middle of traveling and getting screwed over by airlines and I really needed this episode to help me through thank you naddpod

Rachael

I grew up in a part of England that is all farmland now but was once marshland and was drained over the course of a couple of hundred years to farm the peat soil, often with violent pushback from the locals, so I'm really enjoying Boggy's characterisation and the research Caldwell has done!

Mosesf

That ending was awesome! This campaign looking to be a certified banger.

Faerunner

I feel like jake was so nervous to DM but he is killing it and quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite actual play DMs.

Faerunner

Jake your descriptions are gorgeous!

Melissa Shilale

‘the smell of autumn or something older’ JAKE!

Hugo Wull

I’m so glad “polycrow” didn’t go entirely under the radar. CawCawldwell always thinking up silly bird things!

Tim Sauerland

I love that Zudrick devolves into Pendergreens when he gets upset 🤣🤣

Bills Mcblow

That Laura Palmer ass song is back 🥹

Zachary Mueller

Anyone else immediately think of Princess Mononoke when Jake was describing the boar?

BethKF

Can’t get enough of Jake’s descriptions. From the get go they’ve been awesome but particularly since they reached the perimeter of the castle - you can see it so clearly in your mind’s eye, even feel and taste the changes in the air. So great. Skaldova is brilliant. 👏👏👏

Akenaz

I'm truly loving skaldova so much. Jake's descriptions are so evocative, and all the characters are so much fun. im listening to every episode like 5 times as i excitedly await each new installmemt

Winterbat

Zuddrick vs the Bookcase. Legendary match up

Jamie Matthews

Boggy Roger, my relatable king. I, too, would be hyper fixated on securing food after like 4 hours of adventuring without a snack.

Tony Cappellino

Jokes about his passing/dick aside, “Longest Tom” is such a perfectly silly, yet believable-in-this-world adventuring buddy name

Jordan Bergner

You can hear pendergreens start to come out when zuddi gets mad at the razzing

Xymel

Ah come on. Caldwell points out Murphe's perfect dad joke and there's no acknowledgement? We can BOAR-d it up? Love it.

Kyle Corbett

Theory: Zuddy is cursed and they are a kenku atm

Kyle Veach

God damn, this campaign is SO good! I wish it was full length so badly

Kyle Veach

Agreed! And what fun mechanics he's coming up with too, the "death saves" on the cage doors was very clever

Kyle Veach

I thought his name was Jork or something dumb?

Victoria Fair

Zudrick was giving real Vegeta vibes this episode lol

Amanda Dick

See you in Seattle y’all!

Hostage4hire

really love that murph avoids saying “tweet about the show” now given the oligarch running it

Ryder1o9

You 4 as Dms embody all my favorite things of D&D! I usually have a preferred DM in podcasts that trade off but I just cant choose a favorite story so far. Good job on this campaign so far Jake you're just fantastic at descriptions!

Josh Marshall

Jake I audibly gasped in joy when I got the alert the new ep dropped last night. Skaldova is so great, excited to jump into another ep!

Bryce Peterson

Great episode. I’m impressed Jake didn’t let the wheels fall off the campaign Volkswagen after the BBGE (Rump Lord) was killed last episode.

Susannah B.

I'd like to thank Emily for the word "paroxysm"

Axel Ottel

Caldwell really has two kinds of characters. Silly little guys and two silly little guys in a trench coat, disguised as a serious and tragic figure.

Grass

Sabrina is my favorite bird

Nicole Jordan

Is there a Murph character that hasn’t threatened to freak out at this point? I love it

Mr. Dude Sky

Skaldova is awesome. Jake is killing it. The tactical genius of Welly is something you are going to have to watch out for.

xatlern

What a cliffhanger! I loved Emily's genuine gasp at that reveal, I was right there with her.

Jillian M

The gasp I gusp at that last line. Loving Skaldova so much! Jake is knocking it out of the park

Jillian M

Also is anyone else clocking Zudrick’s slow decent into Pendergreens?

Jillian M

I clocked that too 🤣🤣

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Giving me so much joy, since Murph is not DMing, that they are still trolling Murph via his beloved, cranky PC, with their kindly, supportive PCs.

Tabitha D

Zudrick being made fun of so badly and then missing the boar and pretending it didn’t happen made me laugh so hard.

Tabitha D

also can i say my name is tabitha and zud jump scares me every time.

Li I

Zudrick is a guy who’s already went through like 5 mental breakdowns having a mental breakdown

el

this seasons score reminds me so much of the twin peaks score

Rick

Anyone else thinking this is a world that is potentially gonna be connected to Bahumia? With all the talk of space and Purple snakes… it just got me thinking

Robert

"Nicely Clenched" Made me laugh WAY too hard for some reason.. And the music at 44:20 (i think) was soo perfect... And SOOO Twin peaks... more of that please :) well done

Robert

Yup.. when jake was explaining stuff in it was in the background i was totally picturing the opening of twin peaks.. i want more of that music in this :)

Josh Clark

I love that Boggy just keeps saying “Longest Tom was hung” instead of “hanged” with all of the innuendo banter

C●SMIC☆MANG●

2 minutes in and ive already lost it at Zudrick's 'Maybe this boar is KIND!!'

Professor Pratt

Second time through and the ending is still amazeballs!!

everett harbaugh

theory: i bet the bog is circled cuz the dragon took the princess there to hide out from the encroaching godswar, cuz it kinda seems like based off the map that the gods were coming for princess lunark (kinda feels bright sword-ish for the gods to be invaders that killed off the original inhabitants)

Shane B

After starting my naddpod journey almost a full year ago today I've finally caught up on all campaigns and MOST of the other content. Really happy to watch the episodes as they come out. Cheers guys!

keysi ellle

Any reason why this is showing as locked on spotify? or just me?

Felix

are you looking at the naddpod patreon feed instead of the usual Spotify one?

Felix

There are at least 2 different feeds on Spotify afaik

Felix

Hope not lol

Felix

they are certainly cut from the same cloth

St Avrel

This entire series is great, Jake!! I love fighters and I love your new world! Also the entire crew is hilarious! I think this is my favorite set of PCs since Twilight Sanatorium! Boggy give major Mavis vibes lmao

Kelley

"You are a suit of armor full of freak outs, my friend" this party's interactions are non-stop gold

Drayser

Woah great theory!

Ellie P

Jake is an incredible story teller and I love him. Thank you for setting this stage for this gang of absolute chuckle heads to be so silly together.

panpolypuff

Emily - I just want to particularly compliment the way you are reharmonizing and reorchestrating your older ambient music for the show. Reworking existing motifs is such a baller move as a composer, you're so good at evoking mood just with a bassline change or new instrument ❤️

Robert

Thank you! i didn't want to post.. it feels like i missed something basic... and from everyones reaction seemed like a big deal.

Robert

I hope not also, rather keep it it's own thing :) Am liking it much more than bahumia so far also

Dr. Eggman

Zudrik is like an alternate universe Cody

Stephen Fike

Hinting at a relative of Emily’s character

atomicdog

Emily's character has the last name 'Hamdan'

sarb!

The way I GASPED at the end!! This story is so intriguing and fun!!

Rafael C

"That's so fun, that.. the people on your team.. considered it Your team 😲" THE WAY I CACKLED

Rafael C

Zudrick's also getting more and more Pendergreens-like as the days go by lmao

Rafael C

Jake, the worldbuilding in this one was incredible dude, insanely cool!!! I can't wait to find out more about this world!!!.!! And we can all hear the same excitement and curiosity in your players voices 🔥🔥🔥 I'm so hyped rn

Rafael C

Damn that makes sense!! My theory is that sir Leif Thornstein is the dragon, and the idea that the dragon killed one of the 8 knights of the order is a classic historical misunderstanding / re-telling / "syncretism" of sorts (or, alternativelly, that it was an intentional cover-up, either by the order & the princess themselves, or by the winning side of the god wars)

Rafael C

I've been harboring this same theory!!! Not necessarily the cursed aspect, but that would be fun ngl

Mosesf

The Skaldova music is awesome and really adds the ambience to every scene. Truly awesome stuff!

Colton Smith

Zudrick’s voice is giving Pete from the Goofy Movie..

AlbireoRising

I audibly gasped at exactly the same Emily did for that Reveal.

Olivia and Jarod have two lvls of exhaustion

I used to go to Friendly's after every football game with my marching band! (I played the clarinet!) and I love mozzarella sticks, but burnt myself once carrying back an extra marinara sauce!

carlcon

FYI, the short rest for this is missing from the collection

J. Gro

I haven't finished listening, but prediction: the princess IS the dragon...

David Fryauf

I wanna see a live show with these characters and the whole audience sings "SKALDOOOOOVAAAA" at the beginning

Jet Jay

not "cum? piss??" 😭😭😭😭😭

Mynne Maxine

Emily needs another compass so she can talk about her compi

Professor Pratt

Please please! I need Skaldova on the next tour in Boston just so can call out “Welly?! “. I absolutely adore Zudrick and I spend my days saying “guys? C’mon. That’s just crass.” Murph does it again and I love the comment that suggests Zudrick is the Pentagreens origin story.

Jessa Jayne

Cody Night Angel is a descendant of Zudrick.

Mark

In the corner and everything

diintz

the solemness with which boggy says "oh yes remember he was hung u_u" fucking kills me LOL

grass_illusion

thats purple snake brain right there entering my lexicon against my will

Ellie P

I love that Emily has Welly wanting to go to space and then Sluggz ended up wanting the same thing. I think Emily wants a space campaign lol

drmimms

Still getting goosebumps from the elder Hamdam reveal on 2nd listen!

Nick Lerche

Why is it Zudrick's always the butt of the joke.. -Welly "Language!"
