I hope he dies constantly

Request from a long-time fan: it would be really cool if the different campaigns were sorted into collections on patreon! Love relistening, especially to eldermourne, and it would make the older episodes easier to find. 💖 (I was actually just looking for something to listen to and then saw you just posted this, hope it's cool to write in this way)

LowlyWorm

not sure how i feel about the fact that reading the phrase “Olaf’s Frooze Your Own Adventure” gave me such genuine joy

Hank Cox

Fastest I’ve clicked on an episode

Andrew Elrod

There must not be an ending where he survives.

Spencer W

Finally the sequel to Emily's FF choose your own adventure fan fic! I'm so joyful rn

Hannah

I'm equal parts scared and delighted

Xacris

A Caldwell adventure, what a treat! Can't wait to listen

Colonel Condor

Best journey home present! London represent!

Jesse Dunlap

Please God make a choose your own Austin powers thing.

Jesse Dunlap

Honestly I think the Whole Fat Bastard thing I had to deal with came from Murph referencing Dr. Evil in the Troy vale crossover. He caused my player to die for the joke and now he is dealing with the consequences.

Ryan

Listening to this on my drive to DC for the live show. So excited 😊

saltblend

We are unhinged out the gate with this one. Love it

jackalope503

My favorite part of the Frozen movies has always been the infidelity and will-they-won't-they romances.

Justin Mitchell

Jeezus, this is amazing. All hail, Caldwell, HAIL HAIL HAIL!

ACK

This was amazing.

Katy Pedelty

Oh my God Caldwell WROTE it?? I can't wait to listen to this.

Dragon

I will take credit for the 69th like 😎

Bryan Barton

This Lorridge was thick, filling, and nutritious.

Andrew G

I CANNOT wait to hear this lol

Kevin Howard

Caldwell, you were robbed. The best improvised line in this entire episode: "ah, yes, you took the Hooba-cratic oath". My fucking sides. That's Yes and gold. And on the spot, too. Can't believe that didn't result in a several minute digression. Great stuff, everyone. Thoroughly enjoy everything you put together. ♥️

LavenderLinz

okay but when will yall release a naddpod themed choose your own adventure book?????

Chaz Wheeler

I couldn't stop laughing! If Caldwell ever has time to do more it would be a true blessing

WeedGoku69

Are we gonna get those sketches from tn

Nathaniel Walston

I loved slopping up the lorridge Caldwell! Thank you for the story!

Lilyannifer

What vigorous catharsis for a spirit wearied by costuming a recent production of Frozen, Jr. What absolute purgation of the dark night of the soul!

Sam Na

Will sub to whatever tier I need to to keep Tanner's Tale Tavern semi-regular

jesse sa

caldell is really showing off his incredible talent for improvising while playing it completely serious

Alan Ma

Happy to see that they can still turn an adventure book into a toxic queer romance, even when one of them wrote the thing.

A$

The funniest book club reading yet 😂❤️‍🔥 I’d listen to all of your handwritten stories endlessly

Liam Cornell

This weirdly has Buffy the vampire slayer vibes.

9on

hoobacratic oath was amazing caldwell. amazing.

Rhiannon Williams

I’m listening to this while getting ready for my wedding in 2 hours :D

jsteeze

Congrats!!!

jsteeze

The best 8bbc since final fantasy fan fiction 💖💖

Zanna

Immediately getting throwback vibes to when Caldwell wrote a mini game book for Emily in the original run of 8-bit lmao

Manuel Berringhaus

Immediately it reminded me of Caldwell's FF fanfiction and I knew that this would be so fucking good. I was right 👏👏👏

Ken

WOw. So good. My friend also has a three year old and is similarly constantly watching Frozen(s), and we have riffed a lot about it. Clearly the CYOA format is the proper venue of exploring the world. I will be sure to send this along to him.

Garga Lenoir

It's wild that you guys didn't mention Caldwell's previous CYOA fanfiction. It was amazing! Emily cried tears of joy!

Shane C

As an analyst in my 30s I feel seen by this

Kierstin Miller

No joke, I got my consulting analyst dream job at 34. Can confirm that it’s not fun to talk about at parties.

James Cherenzia

Even when literally writing a new story, these choose your own adventure protags can't escape being clingy, desperate and toxic lmao. Incredible

Clotilde

Emily is especially wild in this one. Great ep gang ✨

Jamjam

this is insane. i love it!

Jessy G

Next is a NADDPOD CYOA where a kid gets sucked into Bahumia right? I’d buy that pdf!

Arlo Linn

Am i the only one who could only make it halfway through this ep. Caldwell could only make it through like half a sentence before everyone was jumping in and interrupting him with an near incomprehensible bit. I would have loved to hear more of what he had to write!

Rei

This was bonkers, I love it

gerard

Not fuckin hellsa

Kyle Veach

Truly a masterpiece Caldwell, thank you for blessing our frozen little ears

Kyle Veach

....finish the episode my dude

sarfs

I’d like to listen to this but I haven’t seen Frozen II yet, will there be any spoilers?

Sam

We demand more Tanner Tales!!!!

Robert

I love when Murph gets to be a “player” because when Murph gets silly, he gets SILLY!

Canid Duality

Did you enjoy Trinyvale because this is classic Triplets behavior.

Arlo Linn

I love trinyvale, been an 8 bit book bud for years, i have just felt that a lot of the recent eps have felt the same with similiar repeating bits. Maybe its just me, but i felt like this episode was so difficult to listen to with the constant interruptions and additions of bits that didnt feel naturally inserted at all.

morgan

this is incredible… would love more caldwell stories in the future!

Katie P.

I'm so impressed, Caldwell! great fanfic!

Niko Grace

Only some slight lizard spoilers

Arlo Linn

Absolutely! Honestly i hope thats the case cause I love the 8 bit book buds and have gotten so much joy from them over the years!

Paul Gude

Such an expert recreation of the format. I loved it!

Jody

After this I'm totally doing a Trinyvale relisten. Made me miss the triplets!

Ben M

Coldwell? No?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Great job Caldwell. But the most wonderfully crazy thing said was “snowmanity could be a Cirque du Soleil”. Thanks Emily.

Verdigree

If you read the latest World of War craft book, it's from the perspective of the dragons, I think you'd have a great time

華偉 曾

i want the song to end with "and i just want you to know"

RT

De DF es

Tyler Board

As a parent of small children I needed this. Also I’m glad Jake is finally on a released 8Bit BookClub ep!

YaniShadelynn

I'm reading through it rn and the worst part is that it's somehow actually OK at being emotionally sincere sometimes. I've said out loud "thank you Caldwell this is awful" several times.

Ryan

Glad you guys were finally able to get Jake on one of these

Apple Slapple

What a journey but also "Anna and Christoph are also there, the end." Was hilarious to me

Dana

It's not just you. I had to stop listening to the 8bit book club bits. I don't mind the interruptions - it's the talking and shouting over each other that I don't like. I did read Caldwell's "fanfic" which is linked above and it's pretty funny (even without all the added improv).

Arlo Linn

I should check out the written stuff then! The stuff he wrote was sounding really funny, i loved the opening sentence!

Tavitafish

Not enough Adam Driver

The Wizard Stream

Not the random reference to The Good Doctor 💀

Kevin Vinck

No, I couldn't make it all the way through either. I got like halfway in and realized I had completely lost track of what was going on or who any of the characters were because there were so many improv tangents and they kept making up new names. Are Jessica, Jelsica, and Elsa the same character? Are we Olaf, or is Olaf dead? And who is Craig? I have no idea.

J-P Voillequé

“Do you want to bone a snowman?”

M Bee

Same here, but if I said that I'd mean Disney films like Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, etc. I wouldn't willingly rewatch anything post-Lion King(1994) except Moana, which was an unexpected bit of infinite rewatch heaven amidst stuff that's just 100% not for me (and that's totally ok as I'm not the target audience).

Nathan Jaimes

I’ve never heard Emily so unhinged as “JESSICA! YOU DID THIS! JESSICAYOUDIDTHIS!!”

Leah

doing a relisten and there’s foreshadowing of this masterpiece from caldwell, as well as the origins of olaf dies in frozen 2, in the short rest: green teen quarantine!

StarsPaw-Pawn

Jake didn’t get recognition for his top notch joke “fan-fic-tastic!”

StarsPaw-Pawn

I was just gonna say this— biiig triplets energy 😂 The triplets as a hydra

Micah Edmonds

The Hoobacratic Oath is the second funniest thing ever said on this show and it didn’t get anywhere near the love it needed.

Ella H

4th re listen 🤣🙈 I’m absolutely crying with laughter at murph screaming “YOU MADE US OLAF, JESSICA!”

Ella H

I love how toxic they always are in these adventure books djsgshsjsha

Cruz Gusman

I have a 5 year old daughter and this was therapeutic for

Sophia Pascale

i love when murph gets a little mischievous. have fun taylor ham

Colin Kilzer

Emily I would pay the last of my money to hear the Austin Powers CYOA

Charlie

Hell no caldwell is a weak bad story teller. He should stick to drawing so I don’t have to listen to his garbage
