Schoobs

SKAAAALLLLLLLDOOOOOOVVVVVAAAA 🎶🎶

Vickyrae

No wayyyy perfect timing

Magic zur

Literally was bored and needed something to listen to.

Ross Wright

Perfect for lunch at work

Nick Neverman

We’re absolutely gonna need more Skaldova. Jakes DMing combined with this trio getting to play as PCs together is just too good.

Mnixon

Hi Mr Brian, Mr Jake, mr tanner, & Anne with an e Kind regards, Michael

🎵 You know I go crazy for this NADDPOD fam 🎶 (to the tune of Sharp Dressed Man)

Hostage4hire

Murph not knowing what a TimTam Slam made me audibly gasp and half believed it was a bit

Lucy

Tim tam slam is a very real thing

Tucker Collins

Yes when you use the Australian (?) biscuit as a straw, as described by Boggy Roger

Lucy

Yes an australian biscuit, i was litterally doing it this morning with a hot chocolate in Melbourne, aus

Tristan Lestavel-Entwistle

Australian here. Can confirm. Murph is risking a minor diplomatic incident by questioning it.

Clever Innuendo

I had to send my cat down the rainbow bridge today, and I'm so glad to have my comfort food in podcast form here tonight. Thanks guys.

austinoxner

Condolences. It's never easy but it gets better.

austinoxner

💐💐💐💐 A bouquet for each of you.

Jema Horjus

Team Knows-What-a-Tim-Tam-Slam-Is represent!

Tim Woods

OMG Jake, the encounter design is so good! What a unique challenge. That and the visual descriptions are just dazzling. Jill better watch out, seems like Tucker might have some competition

Klompus Smith

I’m backing Caldwell up here, Tim Tam slams are 100% a real thing.

Rafi

Zudrick ending up being just like D from Elden Ring is crazy

Chris Swank

Hearing Swank so much this episode threw me for a loop

Rachel Kerry

BUT TIM TAM SLAMS ARE REAL. They are a way to eat Tim Tam biscuits in Australia and New Zealand.

Peregrine

Lovely episode guys! 💙 You keep me such good company

Heliks

Oh hey! Jake I also have been planning an upcoming chase scene and landed on doing a Colville-prescribed Skill Challenge. Small world!

Jenn

15 minutes left and I'm so sad this is almost done. What an absolutely fantastic story. Well done, one and all. So damn good!

Jenn

Another episode! Happy dance!

Blaine McClain

Absolutely love the skaldova campaign, I hope you guys come back to this at some point like your did trinyvale and hot boy summer

Fanwithglasses

There's been a lot of D&D/timtam slam overlap in my life these past few months

Tony Dennis

Banger after banger after banger Skaldova continues to impress every single week just absolutely A+ content

John Freitag

Boggie's bluster emboldened my baudiness. Welly's waves of warmth, warmed my heart. And Zudric's zen zone he enters when memorizing the faraway fjords, settles me. Hurwitz knocked it out of the park.

Abigail Agnew

I really like the skill challenge! Very well narrated! I know he’s never been on before, but maybe if you guys have Jake on 8-bit book club, he could read the book!

Rune A

This! I bought Tim Tams yesterday specifically for that purpose lmao

Figgy Blue

I trully can't wait for Hamdam to become one of the mad clerics in bloodborne worshipping some Cthulian creature.

Drew Faber

Loveeeeee this one! Ropers are so goddamn scary lol. It’s some really good shit you’re giving us every single episode y’all, and hats off to jake especially— the monologue starting at 47:00ish really had me holding my breath

Zac (method acting as man on the verge of tears)

Hearing tim tam slam played off as a bit has me wondering how many bits have actually been real things. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the Grinch is real and works at headgum. We got so few video eps of D&D court it's highly likely there was interpersonal conflict with the Grinch (who is real) that caused the working relationship to become untenable after only 3 eps.

Driftwood747

Just bought my tickets for the Seattle live show while listening to this! see yall there!

Jake Alcott

Caldwell talking about a Timtam slam makes me feel seen.

The Grinch (feral)

Dude I thought boggy was so fucking cooked. I stopped scrolling on Pinterest just so I could be fully present for his (potential) last moment. Also also the bit with Lyla at the beginning was HILARIOUS, and the wombo-combo at the end with zudrick and wellie, was heartbreaking as it was amazing. Each episode of skaldova really just keeps getting better and better

Omar Mtz

For a moment there, the Carnal crew was turning into the Triples 🤣

Mosesf

I was so stressed thinking that Boggy’s pitfall in episode 2 was inadvertently foreshadowing for a Boggy death.

Martian

PUT EM IN A BOGGY BAG

Amanda M

“indubitably”😭😭😭😭😭

Amanda M

Enders kiss what an amazing episode!!! The skill checks, Jake’s narration, the close call and Emily’s quick mind. The world needs more Skaldova…

atlasrising

Jake, your storytelling has given me so many goosebumps it's unreal. I really really love the way you craft together a scene, the wordsmith in me is awed! The last look at the dragon's corpse? The Dawn Hold being a tomb for the worthy and unworthy? The description of Wellie gently settling Fay back into the world above? Beautiful, magical, incredible 🩷

Clemming

It's so cool seeing all the crew have their own DM style, Jake's narrative prose and descriptions are incredible!

Ben Hannah

I delay important business to write this. Timtam slams are a thing, common knowledge in Australia. I was enthusiastically shown this by numerous Aussies in my time there. You must understand that this is very common parlance. I am curious how Caldwell found out about this mystical Australian technique

Cody Hlobik

The ending to this episode reminded me of when the heroes of light defeat Garland at the beginning of FF1. That feeling you get when you bring the princess back to the castle and the credits roll, at the beginning of the journey not the end. It invokes that feeling of "what will these warriors do next?". When the new boggies buds looked up at the stars when leaving the keep victorious, it just felt classicly nostalgic and made me look forward to visiting Skaldova in the future

Dashiell (Like Hammet, damnit!)

Tim tam slams are very real Tim tams are an Australian cookie and you can eat them the way Caldwell described

Lindsey

When Jake dropped that murph-style "here's how this is gonna work" on em i got SO hype. Love this pod.

Professor Pratt

This campaign has been so healing. Jake: you are amazing! Em: perfection. Murph: Zudrick constantly has me laughing out loud. Caldwell: I need more Boggy’s Buds tales!!! Love you all!!

jawnster

Theme Song of this episode in my head "Brighter" by Paramore "You shine brighter, than anyone does..."

Dan

So when we say Skaldova is coming to an end, we mean just this arc, right? We've still got like 40 eps left with these characters, right? You're not expecting me to say goodbye so soon, right?

TK Pitts

I feel like the reveal that Zudrick is really hot is also an amazing homage to Jake and his fighter characters. Glad Murph can take up the “hot guy” mantel since Jake is DMing!

Shrimp City

Emily thanking sensitive Salem was very sweet

Dr. Eggman

Does anyone actually know what substack is? I googled it and I still don't understand

Jelly

Omg, so stoked to read the book Caldwell recommended. I was deep in an eating disorder and healed the way I thought about food through powerlifting. Put on 40lbs in a few years!!

Kodi Earnhardt

"Funny hot reliable, what else does this guy have" is some next level wing man shit

Murf'nLurph

Its like patreon for writers. You subscribe to a journalist and they send you there articles. Its a great way to support independent journalism.

Amos Polglaze

Emily's description of a Tim Tam Slam is an offence to my Austalian culture. Caldwell is pretty spot on though

Adrian

Uhh I always wanted to use those stalagtite enemies!!

NOBLIVION

I was actually in the middle of a Tim Tam Slam when I started the ep

Sand Panda

I hope it becomes an alternative when Murph needs a break. All of their worlds are great, and stepping in and out would be lovely.

JME

Another beautiful constellation moment, I am once again asking for a NADDPOD Circle of Stars Druid 🥺🙏

Evan

I dunno if they've said much officially but based on the way they've talked about it, how well Jake did as a DM, and how positive the fan response has been I would be shocked if we don't circle back to Skaldova sooner or later

Grass

Did welly just “hold on tight spider monkey”

Amelias Bedelias

Boggy “Simone Biles” Roger has me cryinggggg 😭

BumblingRose

OMG! Jake is SUCH a good writer!!! That last scene under the stars✨

Nicole Jordan

A garden of roses for you Jake! Thank you for this beautiful campaign

Nicole Jordan

Once again chiming in that I would LOVE for Emily to add her music to her substack

austinoxner

I can't wait for more Skaldova if for nothing more than the potential for a Zudlock Crowlmes character arc. I need investigative Zudrick in my life.

diintz

on my relisten and omg the foreshadow of "boggy's really good at running away, he's done it a lot of times" ; A ;

Michael Quick

Do you think they will bring Skaldova back for 2026??

Attention span of a Kobold

Tim Tam slams are the best and are definitely NOT just eating a bunch of 'cookies' 😅. Caldwell had it spot on but the biscuit has to actually be a Tim Tam

Summer Tribe

Murph conversationally railroading as a player will never not be funny

St.Christopher Coming to Town

Everyone bullying Lyla is so funny to me. When Zudrick says "You're babbling" I actively cackled.

Grass

I love Lila. Like “I can’t argue with you guys you saved my life but man are you making it hard”
