I need more, Jake. We will wait.

Guy

Jake, you did great, I can’t wait to hear you bring it home.

RavensBinch

Already praying for the next arc 💜 but excited we may get some news about Campaign 4 soon

kelsey a

end of a beautiful era 💔

Clever Innuendo

I knew I was putting of my pampered bath for a reason. Time to draw some suds and lay back!

Logan Carpenter

It can’t be Skald-over already! Congrats Jake this has been such an amazing story, and world you’ve created! Can’t wait to return

The Fun Yaunt

Ahhhh, I’m so excited and sad at the same time! ❤️

Helen✨

Oof I don’t wanna part ways from the Zu Crew/Boggy’s Buds/Welly’s Fellys🥺 Thank y’all for such a delightful campaign!!

Zane

This is... insane

Alex Mayhem

insane rolls from Murph too!

Neil Dutton

The End, Part 1 of 8 right?...right?

Cas

congrats jake on finishing your first campaign! such a wild and fun ride and it’s been a pleasure seeing your evolution with d&d … truly magical. loved this and hope to see more in the future

Drew Faber

Guys do you think the zu crew might be fudging rolls? Idk the high rolls this episode are just… insane

Neil Dutton

I swallowed my phone in shock

Hammy

Please release a sourcebook for rock, parchment, sword

austinoxner

You bite your dang tongue

austinoxner

Also, if you think Murph could sit by and let anything like that happen with his catholic guilt paladin energy eating at him, you are sorely mistaken.

Mike Knot

Amazing job Jake, and crew. What an absolute blast. Can’t wait for more.

Hoid

I can’t believe none of us have offered to play Rock, Parchment, Swords till now 😭

Drew Faber

(It’s all jokes hah I know they would never, I was just joining in on the Emily razzing)

James Grimes

Really need to thank Jake for being my “perspective character” across Naddpod— his debut as Hardwon Surefoot inspired me to see out a party of my own, and now his success with Skaldova as a first time full-on DM has inspired me to try my hand at DMing! Biggest lesson is to start with a focus on fun engagements and a pursuable goal — a first outing won’t be a Bahumia or D20’s Elmville, but great writing and commitment to the improvisation can bring just as much satisfaction at the table.

Geraint

I think you misspelled the title? There's no way you're ending the carnal crew saga, right?

froggy

this was such a wonderful finale! jake thank you for such a hilarious and captivating season, i can't wait for the next arc! murph's zudrick is so funny and iconic, easily one of my favorite murph pcs. caldwell's reveal was such game changer!!! and i am so excited for emily's substack :D

Drew Faber

Wait! I loveeee the integration of the new Bastions system from 5e2024

HellishRebuker the NB DM PhD with diagnosed ADHD

We got the granary!!! Thank you, Jake, for a wonderful arc! You already gave us SO much to look forward to for the next one with the new keep, the Oar in the Bog, and the Buds alive!

The Fun Yaunt

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Jake, I can’t believe you waited to so long to DM!!! Your storytelling is so beautiful! I loved all of the plot hooks and reveals at the end! Well done to Emily, Caldwell, and Murph, too!!! I can’t wait for more Skaldova! Roses for you all!!!

The Grinch (feral)

I’m sobbing while laughing hysterically at the same time. I’m so sad that season 1 of skaldova is over, but I can’t wait for whatever comes next!!! Great job Jake! And to the rest of the Carnal Crew™️ as well. Your characters really brought Jake’s story to life, and I’m now incredibly invested in these three fucking weirdos, and can’t wait to see what’s in store for them next

Kyle Veach

Ok so...hoarse voice Jake is hot, right?

Jay Barber

What an incredible journey, I can’t believe it’s already over, I could listen to 100 episodes of these characters!

A.E. Ross

enjoyed this season SO much! looking forward to the next campaign and seeing more Skaldova in the future :D

Don Johnson

Amazing job, Jake! I can't wait for more!

aiyana graham art

this was AWESOME and already one of my favorite naddpod campaigns. it'd be awesome to get seasons of this in between mini campaigns!!!

aiyana graham art

immediately subscribed to Emily's substack!! I've been waiting!

Salamander

I knowww murph is not talking about dice chances with the way he rolls

Fido

i think he's venting his pent up sub 5s

Felix

great job guys

David Chapnick

One of the most insane Emily roles of all time

hobblelobble

Every week I am so floored by Jake’s beautiful narration, amazing work Jakey boy!

Ross Minick

17 years, trophyless no more. COYS

WesKane

Loved this, really enjoyed the character group. Super fun! Would love to see more but yall make me smile with anything ya do.

Adam!!!!!

out of all of the naddpod campaigns, skaldova is the one i most imagine being like a 16-bit rpg. sprite work and all. which, knowing jake, is so ironic with him being the least gamer out of all of them.

Hugo Wull

No love for Wild Horses by Garth Brooks? 🤔

Totally Offside

I wasn't going to say anything but this is the second time. The Dispatch song is "Flying Horses" lol

Brant

Ahhh amazing conclusion!! Congrats Jake and everyone!!

Terrell Swanson

Emily is correct, sap flows best when temperatures during the day are above freezing and temps during the night are below freezing. That's when people tap maple trees for sap to make syrup

Jane

Haven’t listened yet but I can’t believe this is already the end 😢 I don’t know what I’ll do without the Zu Crew aka Boggy’s Buds aka Welly’s Fellies!!!!

Peregrine

Only about a third of the way through but Murph is really on one today, love it

Hugo Wull

Absolutely love the ending of “Jake, we demand a Spelljammer campaign!”

yeow

If this is just the start for the Zu Crew, I can’t wait for the next adventure!!

cobbins86

Excellent work everyone this season has been so much fun.

HR

Daaaaamnnn what a finish! Amazing work Jake! I am DESPERATE for another season!!

Hoenn Honey

This cannot be the end i need more of these characters

diintz

YESSSSS what a great finish!!!!! what a fun and delightful campaign, it was such a blast the whole way through and now i cant wait to see where the carnal crew goes next!!!

Mike Y

This is the most Short Rest energy I've ever heard in an actual episode

Amanda M

“stop… stop… STOP!!!!!” Zudrick I love you

Lauren

Yayy what a great ending! Congrats Jake! Can't wait for more Skaldova in the future!

Hunter Gerth

Wonderful Jake, thank you for the campaign. Long live the Carnal Crew!

Professor Pratt

Hey! Take it easy on the 55 year olds. We might not be as spry as you 39 year olds, but we do ok.

Cat C

Awesome season! Congratulations on a great first campaign!

Gavin L.

Jake saying that it’s the end of the first season made me so excited, I was so worried we’d be done (considering the title of the episode) with the carnal crew. This has been an absolute delight and I’m so happy to know we’re not totally done

NOBLIVION

An actually insane finale, I can’t wait for more with these guys!

tyalaman

Loved it, why was Zuddy so obsessed with resting at the top? Mechanical or just a funny bit?

Thomas Witholt | Hermit's Mirror

I’m curious what the hand gesture for sword will be. We have to distinguish it from parchment so it can’t be too fat a blade 🗡️

Thermovore

A supercut of all the ways the Boggy said the Buds died would be so much fun.

DeathSquadGo

Such a great season! Can't wait for the Triplets to come in and make a mess of it!

Amanda M

What a wonderful monologue from Boggy!!!!! This was such a good episode and congrats to Jake for finishing his first campaign! Sooooo excited for more Skaldova <3

Hammy

He was tired

trinacicc

Emily… Jesus CHRIST OKAY

Sarah Osgood

I think that Boggy is Caldwell's best character yet. He really is the perfect vessel for all of Caldwell's antics/puns/songs

Jaime

“She was hoping if she expressed her emotions in the right way, then they wouldn’t feel so wrong” god damn Welly is the best

Elizabeth Gunn, sickly but cruel

Jaaaaaaake, I got full on goosebumps when you read the Hamdam letter. Well done, man, your storytelling is a real pleasure.

clerby

i’m 10 minutes in listening 3 days post wisdom tooth surgery- they must have been on something from the spurs win bc somehow everything is a bit down to saying the number of the rolls and i am in pain from smiling so hard and laughing so much

Nick Nelson

Skaldic was so good!! Can’t wait to see what yall have next. If NADDPOD is going to explore more systems I’ve been reading the new Daggerheart system and I think it would go so well with the two crew’s energy

The one they call Barlo

Well done, Jake. You smashed it, mate. Love the cliffhangers, too! P.S. hate the show

Gramm

Banger arc, can't wait to see what you guys do next

All Wen

WHAT a season WHAT an episode - a full bouquet of roses to Jake

Courtney F.

Awww so cute listening to Spurs supporters getting excited about Europa league. - Signed, a Liverpool supporter 😘

Emma41420

A standing ovation for DM Jake and Skaldova!!💞🙌🎶✨️

Henry F McCormack

Oh my Hilt, I just got the Jet Job reference to Starstruck Odyssey!

Makaelvs

Long time listener, first time commenter; Bravo, Jake! What an incredible arc!

Fern

Damn this is where I, a Manchester United fan, am reminded Jake is a Tottenham fan…

mpopish213

What a fantastic setting and fantastic characters!! Excellent work on your first time DMing, Jake, you really smashed it out of the ballpark with this.

kimbo ★彡

this was such a fun season!!! jake has such a fun blend of comedy and horror in his world building. em's poem is so lovely. i love zuddy and welly's dynamic as well as welly's thirst for Magic Lore. boggy is suuuuuch a fun character like he's so charismatic and funny and also like 3 Bad Things Happening away from a complete meltdown. i can just picture the crazed look every time he laughs. the boggy's buds reveal is such a good hook! can't wait to see how that plays out whenever yall get to it!

ACK

This was an absolute delight from start to finish! Carnal crew is no Cumpanions, but I can live with it. Also: "Bus stop in London, You're just a bus stop in London, You're just a bus stop in - Looooooon-doooooooooon!"

Jamjam

This was so cool! Everyone did such a great job bringing the world to life. This is probably gonna be the campaign I recommend for people starting out listening to dnd podcasts, (along with twilight sanctorum, cause both are shorter but still excellent!) I’m so excited for the future of the buds and so curious about the wild magic on the distant isle! Incredible work, everyone, you can be proud of yourselves! especially you, jake, great job!

frogwithhumanhands

zudrick's use of sleepy instead of tired always makes me laugh

Robert

Sad that the season’s over, but thrilled that it seems like we’ll get more. What a great ending!

Cory

I will be deeply, deeply upset if Caldwell doesn't upload that rock picture to the patreon feed.

Garrett Sutton

I love Jake's descriptions! He really makes Skaldova come to life

Jaedon Huie

Guys…. I you all But it’s NAR-uto not na-RU-to Murph has watched the show!!! I wanted to jump through my phone and strangle all of you.

Jules

“Her every step a parapet” goes too hard unfortunately

MT

Congratulations Jake you crushed it Also every time you guys pronounce Naruto that way my soul dies a little inside

Sciz

At the end of this, and I'm all for it , Zudrick is just a Tim Robinson "I think you should leave" character. Dude is a heckler at a comedy club who doesn't laugh but loudly comments if a joke is funny or not.

Gearbox

Jake is the master of the exasperated NPC. They're not quite "no butting" the party but I love how they stick to their guns and opinions.

Nitzan Harel

I’m so happy we get a second season! This season was amazing, good job Jake!

Aidan Felker

Jakes npc are so GOOD! And these PCs are my fav by far!!

Bea W

👏👏👏👏

soyyyyyysauce

City of the Black Rose was SO goood, Caldwell it was my favorite character you’ve played!!!!!!

soyyyyyysauce

Congratulations on the finish you guys!!!! I love how this party came together 🥹

soyyyyyysauce

At first I was worried the characters were too silly to be cohesive but it totally totally blossomed!!!! Zudrick was an unexpected fave for me

Brandon Schroeder

This was incredible I can’t wait for the next season

Sami Kerwin

this was SO GREAT!!! i cannot wait for the next season. Jake, you did such an awesome job DMing, and the entire party was so immediately themselves and so fun to get to know and love

Amelias Bedelias

Caldwell using indomitable and an action surge for pancakes is the most Caldwell move. Boggy is his best PC yet

Helen✨

Just, please, if any other naddpoles that are also Kpop fans ever see this, PLEASE tell me if Feel My Rhythm by Red Velvet started playing in your head when Jake introduced the red velvet bag containing the Zu crew’s payment from the duke?? Because my brain is very broken and won’t stop replaying Joy’s little “Red Velvet” whenever I listen to the end of this ep😭

dryptid

my goddddd ... emily gasping at the end of the letter.... the reveals... talk about a hook for the next season

A

Jake absolutely crushed this!! I’m so stoked about the hook for next season because it would be a tragedy not to continue this story!!

Emma Robinson

How was there no Counting Crows reference when Tabitha was counting days

Axel Kennedy

one of my favourite seasons !!!!!! amazing job everyone

Lila Goldenberg

had to stop in the middle of the sode to listen to wild horses, which i was positive was by neil young

Chef Julie B

I’m on my second listen of The Adventures of Guts from Berserker, Kimmy Schmidt, and Baron Münchhausen and gotta say, y’all, 12/10

Lucas

I truly need a full season of this. You’ve stumbled upon such a great concept and crew.

Nic Q

Really good first season. Looking forward to more! Jake’s an impressive first time DM. I’m sure he’ll only get better. The Zu Crew is so equally loveable, this might be the first time I have no clear favorite. Great work from all!

Jessa Jayne

with a poem and a toad in your pocket is such simple but beautiful writing.

Kyle Veach

Im on my second full re-listen, I just want to say I REALLY hope we get more of this soon. This party is so top tier, and JAKE, holy shit, the DMing!

Fxd Gear Queer

Just finished it, one of my favorite NADDPOD arcs! Congratulations Jake and Carnal Crew! I think from now on, I need all my Actual Play to have two eps od denouement / epilogue!

Clotilde

Myth and music substack!!!! I can't wait!!!

Joelle H

Great job on your first campaign Jake!!

Merlin

I so hope you come back to skaldova sometime! I adore this world

Brandon Rowand

presenting: stone, parchment, sword. Parchment wraps around sword, sword pierces stone, stone sits atop parchment

Conner Delgado

zudrick and lyla enemies to lovers (or at least good friends) happening in skaldova season two watch this space.

Kasey is a Smaphire

All this Dispatch talk KEEPS Bats in the Belfry in my head and it’s truly hilarious that the Dispatch jokes just keep not hitting

And R U Emily

I think this is my third listen to this season. It's so incredible. I really hope we get a season 2 at some point.

Kitt

Quick relisten before S2!! Excited to find out what Jake has in store next

Ellie P

I’ve re-listened to this 5 times in hype prep for the next newest season coming

BoneyJabroni

Just finished my 2nd listen. Jake, this was excellent. Zu-Crew, these are my favorite characters as a collective. Thank yall for this.
