Thank y'all. That's mighty hospitable of ya

YourAnimeDad

Thanks can't wait to laugh tonight and sleep soundly after

Amaya A

and other naddpod comments that make me very excited to listen to the episode

Kellyd

Did the 2-crew forget their papa John tangent that spanned several episodes or are they trying to move on from them

joel

the return of murphbot!

Lady Land Puma

I’m a high school teacher and I think teaching middle school would be the maximum sentence.

Yerman Munoz

My favorite DND character I ever made was a goblin sapper! He survived a bunch of misfire explosions that should have ended him, he probably would have taken the drink cause he has a bit of a death wish due to survivors guilt.

The one they call Barlo

I'm a few minutes in so may be jumping the gun, but it's killing me no-one has called big rack Pennywise 'TIT'

Rae Clo

As a former high school history teacher, I can confirm that punishment was simply too cruel

syzmon

Pennywise with a huge rack? Everyone google "Kotobukiya Horror Bishoujo figures", they're officially licensed scale figures of popular horror franchise characters imagined as beautiful women. Pennywise has a huge rack. So does hellraiser, Jason Vorhees and the dude from Texas chainsaw massacre. It's pretty great.

Here's some more info on the case of the nothing door for Justice Axford: The DM did not, in fact, describe anything about our untimely deaths. He really did just say "you all die." We were in a back room where the local brews were fermenting, and the session ended about 20 minutes early, so I doubt he was rushing because the table was reserved. He did not set the stakes for the riddle; in the town a pager told us the temple could bring us great fortune or great pain, but nothing more specific than that. I will not ask for a refund as watching the Sopranos with Pennywise big naturals is punishment enough. Thank you for your swift deliverance of justice! P.S. At the end the DM gave us his venmo so we could tip him, and because I have a hard time saying no when someone asks for tips, I gave him another $5 for a total of $25. With movie ticket price inflation, though, your point still stands.

Backwards pizza made me laugh out loud

jbyrd

Wow! Dang! You were robbed

Grace

As a high school English teacher, the punishment of a sophomore history class filled with cool kids was spot on as a terrible punishment for a crime

Harry

Former elementary school teacher here and I 100% agree. Middle school teachers are heroes and masochists.

Maya

I used to help teach a middle school class and yes. They are simultaneously the worst and the best. They’re so funny until they’re not lol

Krystine W.

My ears perked up at this case because I volunteer with a group that hosts one shots at breweries... for $20 a seat.

georgia

As a school social worker working at a high school is ultimately the greatest punishment of all

Unbaked

honestly i had a feeling at the end jake wasnt rolling actual dice and was just making up a number but then he said he rolled a 16 which would have failed the dc and if someone was going to lie about the number they rolled they'd pick a number higher than the dc. So apologies to the bailiff for the doubt, it will happen again!!

Peregrine

I’ve been having a hard time recently and I truly am so grateful for NADDPOD 💛 It really helps to look forward to something every week

Sean Boyle

Worth mentioning. (With the huge caveat that im not indigenous so its possible I may just be virtue signaling here) but to my best understanding wendigos are a piece of Native American (apologies on not knowing the tribe its from specifically) lore and my understanding is its a monster that gets consistently appropriated, misunderstood, and portrayed inaccurately. On top of this my understanding is that the primary reason fir this is that white people have heard bits and peices of the lore of wendigoes and simply ran with it without stopping to consider the impact of doing so. Other cryptids and mythological creatures that from Indigenous lore get appropriated fairly consistently too (Bigfootn skinwalkers ect...) but to my knowledge Wendios are the most prolific. Its also my understanding that due to some incredibly reasonable motivations Most Indigenous folks dont particularly want to share the inner workings of their lore and mythology to us Colonizers. So personally Im of the opinion that the DM of the Campaign with the wendigo should at least be given a formal warning from the court for potential cultural appropriation. Although its also worht mentioning ive done this exact thing with a Monster of the Week campaign I was running before I realized how much of a problem it is that white people keep using ridiculous caricatures of Indigeonous lore for their own entertainment. Also any Indigenous folk who disagree with anything I've said please let me know. Also let me know if im right about what ive said. I dont mean to be speaking for anyone else but id honestly be pretty annoyed if an English man were to fully misuse and distort the legend of the Lepreachaun or the Banshee (im Irish as fuck btw) so I wouldn't want to do the same to any one else. If there are respectful ways to portray these legend sid live to know but if the best way is to simply leave it be and let the Indigenous folk handle any adaptations of this lore than im of the opinion that we should just let go of the Wendigo as plot device. Besides there are other monsters that do similar things in. Other mythologies that have people who actually want to share those stories.

Sean Boyle

Im curious what an episode of DnD court would look like with a single judge a bailliff and 2 attorneys one fir defense and one for prosecution. Maybe the attorney who won the last case gets to choose which side they are on for the next one or something? Or all assigned rolls at the start of each episode. Not that I dislike how it runs at all (also it might become more formal than funny) but im curious what it would look like. Some of these cases it kind of feels like Murph talks first and then the rest all sort of form their opinion around them. (not always of course there are plenty of times when they diverge from him especially if they think its funny) but what would happen if someone had the job to actually defend a bad case. I kind of think it would be even funnier. Especially int he cases where it was genuinly obvious who was right and wrong. Also it may make the cases that are harder to pin down more interesting overall since there would br genuine back and forth. Also one person having the job of defense would force them to look at the case in away they probably wouldn't as a judge. Also im laughing my ass off at the idea of Caldwell and Emily trying to fight over Murph's judgment. Although it could be any of them in any role. (So long as Jake remains in the gutter spot of the Bailiff of course.) I dunno could be fun to try for a n episode or 2 maybe. But then agin why mess with what works.

Sean Boyle

You any chance we could get a mixer bag sometime thats the opposite of a dungeon court? Im kinda curious to hear people's epic stories if times things went awesome in DNd or some dope moves people made that the DMs ran with. Could be cool to get the positive stories. Not that I dislike DnD court. Its been my favorite Naddpod property since before the end of Campaign 3. But I also want to hear good stories you know?

Li I

Honestly it seems way harder to not make mistakes as a DM. It’s like the player is a citizen and the DM is the state, i guess? So much more potential to fuck up as the state 😂 i am grateful to the people who’re trying Also someone please give me a chance to play a goblin that blows up

Jake Alcott

I currently teach middle school. The teachers are as unhinged as the kids. We have to be to survive.

Elandriel

Is Caldwell drawing Tittywise? Is Jake painting Tittywise? How much of a refund do I demand if it's not both?

Chef Julie B

Murph/Emily- your outfits for Viva Mas Vegas absolutely SLAYED.

GC

"is there some sort of cloaca on the side of a mountain that's just popping out goblins" is some of the best worldbuilding i have EVER heard

William Blankenship

For the Hand Raising DM. I will say I kinda get the motivation for hand raising. I think actually hand raising is dumb and sucks all the fun out of the game. But as a forever DM I do get the frustration when a character says something aggressive and your like “okay the bruiser draws a dagger and says WHAT YOU SAY” and them being like NO JK JK NOT REAL I was kidding bro I didn’t actually say that. Because it’s a bit meta to say stuff and then recon when it’s not what you want. I have had that happen before. But hand raising isn’t the solution and for character thoughts?? That’s way way too much of an overcorrection. I don’t think this player was doing that and unfortunately was treated poorly bc of the GMs fear of something like that happening.

Patch

YESSSSS Someone sent them the Gen Z Stitch Blind Box, thats incredible

Olivia M

Do you happen to live in Wilmington Delaware?

Olivia M

Actually I recently got stuck in a bathroom for 40 minutes because the lock jammed so not too great rn!

kaylee w

unfortunately it’s too late to request a refund; you’ve been nursing that salad for 8 hours bud

Mr. Dude Sky

It sounds like you might just be bad at puzzles. I’m with the DM on this one.

Mr. Dude Sky

DnD court these days is getting tough to listen to. I don’t believe any of the submitters are coming in with good faith and they are leaving way too many details out. Gonna have to just stop listening to these. It’s getting painful. I hope they can get better submissions with more details.

Peregrine

Aww my cat is also Henrietta :) and she can also read books

Hugo Wull

I tell you what, teaching high school math decimated my mental health so I think that may be the way to go for punishments moving forward.

Chef Julie B

Additional information: My half-sour garlic pickle recipe for the jar, so your dice stay fresh, crisp, and punished: 2 cups of room temp water 1 Tablespoon salt -Whisk together to dissolve salt in a big bowl, set aside 2-3 small pickling cucumbers, washed super well and cut into whatever shape you dig (slices, spears, whole, whatev) 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns 1 allspice berry 1 bay leaf -smash those spices while in a zip-top plastic bag. (Like, Big Bucks and ALSO Big Whammies) 1 sprig of dill, washed well and cut into inch pieces 6 cloves garlic, smashed open with a knife and peeled (and I mean smash, Oppa The Hulk-style.)

Scrambles

Alternate name for Tittywise; Welcome To Dairy

Elandriel

Then I shall prostrate myself before the NADDPOD crew. Wimple to the floor and beg for but a mere morsel more Tittywise.

Chef Julie B

Whisky whisky the spices into the brine, jam the cucumbers into the jar, pour over brine, and let vibe at room temp for 2 hours. If you have leftover brine, just make sure all of the spices make it in. After the 2 hours is up, head to the fridge! They're ready in 4 days, but best after 2 weeks!

MamaMayhem - Sal Soeh, Sal Nu

Caldwell should do a show and tell for PO box stuff! I would love to see the all the cool things they shout out.

Sam

Leo does WHAT

SarasandHannahs

*flips 3 shrek 2 dvds* oh yeah nat 20 “hey that sounded oddly like 3 shrek 2 dvds and actually not a d20?” “oh idk man”

Jack

Anyone else remember when Papa Jon was on Alex Jones' show?

Martian

WTF they had the dwarf get hate crimed because of a that??? Lmao what a wild ass thing to do, they need to leave that table

Emily Bocchino-Rojas (Emily BR)

Oh holy cow that's me!! I'm Emily BR/cheesewipz!! I threw in my stickers as just a funny silly side and knowing I made it to Caldwell's water bottle made me tear up!! Thank you for looking at my weird art!!

Aaron Bowyer

Personally played a lot of games with signals for out of character talk, which was usually to indicate we had a question or something. Not as a rule, but a tool. I personally always used putting my hand on my head for out-of-character speech in those games. That said, enforcing it and punishing for not doing it is cruel and unfair for sure

Justin Hobaugh

Its so funny that you guys instantly clocked sophomores as being the worst year to teach. As a high school teacher the worst possible punishment to me is teaching sophomore geometry

Stefan UrKILL (Figgy)

DMs who wanna hardcore roleplay fantasy racism are weirdos, I don’t make the rules

Stefan UrKILL (Figgy)

A huge part of the lore also of the creature you mentioned after Bigfoot is that you’re not supposed to bring them up or think about them. Tbf not something I’m willing to look up to verify but my Mexi-Indigenous spouse told me that. There’s literally an entry in a book about cryptids that we own that we don’t open to and have crossed out in the table of contents so we don’t encounter it (and of course this book was written by a white man so no such consideration was made to his audience 🙃). JSYK

Josh Wolff

OH MY GOD I ALSO GOT A GEN Z STITCHI HOPE WE GET THE SAME ONE

Jason DeVrieze

It sounds like the first DM watches a lot of Taskmaster but doesn't quite understand that the reason it's fun when the task is bullshit is because everyone signing up knows that the tasks are bullshit

Nikki Michelle

Middle school teacher here and feeling so seen by these punishments lmao

Doctor Ransom

Oh my god I want an all RoboDM episode, that bit sent me sooo hard.

A. Lee. S

It’s so cute that you think kinders raise their hands to talk. Eighth grade is the hardest to teach. 😅

JDunbar

I already have to bring my own K-cups to the teachers’ lounge!!

Gigi

Watching everyone who has never LARPed completely misunderstanding what the hand raising is. The DM sucks, but it's 100% an ex-LARPer.

Thomas Witholt | Hermit's Mirror

It Girl as an alt title? I’m also thinking Papa John is related to that … Street Sharks episode maybe? Papa Jean I think. Murph went to die on a hill for some maiden name no one else got. 😅 Not sure why it was to Jake though.

Marshal Adkins

High-school custodian chiming in, get the leg breaker in here.

Chimp_6

Current 6th grade teacher and I’m dead over bringing k cups, that’s just how it be.

Andrew Jennings

Backwards pizza with the crust in the middle is genius. It makes zero sense in name and yet might save the dying racist pizza owner franchises we all know and love

Amanda

Me listening to this as a high school history teacher who teaches sophomores….

Sabrina

Same lol I have 11th-12th graders but I think middle schoolers would be the real punishment

Amanda

6th graders would be the death sentence imo!!!

DemonLordSparda

A tabletop game isn't LARP. In TTRPGs you narrate your thoughts and emotions in character. If you are using character voice, it's in character. One of the main reasons you hand raise during LARP is you aren't sitting at a table.

DemonLordSparda

Much like the reverse pizza submitted by bailiff Papa John, a reverse Dungeon Court is a good idea.

Idegad Mendoza

Wow, shout-out to my hometown library running such cool events! 👍🏽

Emily Bocchino-Rojas (Emily BR)

Wow thank you?!! Sorry very kind of you!! My bad art is all findable on Etsy and Instagram as @cheesewipz Love to the Naddpoles holy cow

pedalinpigeons

I swear, if that first case is about Dungeons & Drafts I’m gonna be extra miffed they keep ignoring my emails to DM for them. 😆

Steve

"Pennywise with a huge rack" I've seen that cosplay, by a few different cosplayers, and it's pretty good.

Chris J.

Witcher guy should do that malicious compliance and do any internal monologs in their head and then raise their hand to interrupt if they try to move on

J. Gro

Glad the court pivoted from kindergarten to high school. Kinder teachers are way more patient and understanding than that DM when someone forgets to raise their hand. The parent phone calls and complaints to the principal would be the actual punishment in that scenario.

Rachel

Honestly??? High school > kindergarten (I teach third) kindergarten is herding cats at least high school the know how to be in a school

HexBaba Yaga

Idk im not too upset about the "raise your hand to talk out of character" rule.... i dont think it should have played out how it did, for sure... but ive played in tables where we would put our finger on our nose if we were talking out of character, to prevent things like you the person exclaim something like "WTF WAIT WHAT" and then have to go "no wait that was me, the player not the character" ... that happens kinda often where people say something as a joke or for flavor, but its out of character.. and help not risk miscomunication.... that being said, breaking legs over something THAT OBVIOUSLY wasnt meant to be said out loud is crazy. that rule is usually for "i jokingly tell the baddie to F off" but thats just me, the person, not me the character...

SurvingLaw

I can’t believe they released a show at a reasonable time😅

Adrian

Warcraft 2 mentioned!!!

Adrian

I love that Codwell suggest Pathfinder 2e, great system, wished you did another round of it !

Stefan Urkill

I'm a high school teacher, but do I have a +20 fortitude

aiyana graham art

I am a substitute teacher and I can confirm sophomore or freshman class that doesnt care about doing any work and doesn't care about getting in trouble AND is rowdy is actually the worst. because usually the way they're rowdy always has to do with being gross in like a sexist or other -ist way. had a class like that last week that made me wanna freak out. which would actually be a great punishment for this DM since they LOVE seeing fantasy racism

aiyana graham art

spelling "caldwell" as "codwell" is killing me lol

Dr. Eggman

Hot It... Hotit.... Ho tit 🤯 pennywise big naturals was there the whole time.

Alexsander Palmore

I can't hear about goblins and sappers without going straight to Dungeon Crawler Carl now

Salamander

Burst out laughing at this, jake is so good on the spot sometimes

Kaidan C

It doesn’t sound like they were trying to be funny, that sounds like a really uptight table/DM

Mike

For the case of the Goblin not drinking from the fountain: the DM could’ve thrown something in where the barbarian is now in the fountain, and the next person to drink can swap with him. And so on and so forth, and now it becomes a puzzle to get the barbarian back
