how to prove you’re not in love with your best friend, a beginner’s guide:

introduce yourself to their mother by saying “i’m a big fan of your daughter”

make her earrings she was planning to make herself while she sleeps

jump into a worm’s mouth after she’s been swallowed to save her life

do a lot of work to help her be uncursed in battle (including kissing her, but believing she can save herself)

say you’ve been half elf since you met her when she reincarnates you

attempt magic to bring her back to life when you’ve never been able to do magic ever

tell another one of your good friends that she can approach a romantic relationship with her because your feelings will never matter more than hers and she’ll do whatever the hell she wants, so it doesn’t matter what you think

run to her for help with a romantic relationship of your own (and accept the 9th level spell she casts on you)

ask to move in to her hometown the first chance you get

attempt to make a teleporter work in order to travel to another plane because she is in trouble

and then you’re good. mission accomplished.

What NADDPOD Campaign you should listen to based on your favorite Bad Kid

• Gorgug Thistlespring

- If you like

a confounding but also charming amount of in-game singing

one liners that *almost* land

being a little cunty while you save the world (but saving the world nonetheless)

Then you should listen to Bahumia Campaign 1 DMed by Brian Murphy. 100 total episodes. The very beginning and easiest place to start.

• Fig Faeth

- If you like:

emily axford making out with people for the bit

begrudgingly allowing your mom to be a complex person

fake names that simultaneously get better and worse as the campaign goes on

You should listen to Campaign 3 (aka Bahumia Campaign 2) ((aka Ba2umia)) DMed by Brian Murphy. Currently at 64 episodes with new episodes posted every other week. Listening to Campaign 1 first isn’t necessary, but highly recommended so you can catch all the goofs and references.

• Kristen Applebees

- If you like:

totally inparceable pop culture references

being gay in ways that few can even comprehend and fewer can emulate

simulacrum antics

You need to listen to Trinyvale. DMed by Caldwell Tanner with 22 main episodes and a handful of semi-canon follow up episodes. Takes place in its own universe (for the most part) No previous NADDPOD knowledge or listening necessary.

• Riz Gukgak

- If you like:

being somewhere between a grizzled 80 year old man and a spunky teen detective

brian murphy loudly wondering ‘why am i the only one here with my shit together?’

a firm belief that coffee is part of a good bed time routine

You should listen to Twilight Sanctorum DMed by Emily Axford. A mini campaign with 4 total episodes that *technically* takes place within the world of Bahumia, but there is no crossover into main campaigns. No prior listening necessary!

• Adaine Abernant

- If you like:

being the smartest person in the room who just so happens to have the highest kill count.

when getting a party member un-cursed is honestly like 5th on the to do list.

characters looking you dead in the eye and saying ‘I simply must kill my mom’

You should really listen to Campaign 2 aka Eldermourne, DMed by Brian Murphy. 41 total episodes that includes multiple intertwining parties— including a 6 episode arc with Lou Wilson. Entirely separate from other campaigns & no previous listening required.

• Fabian Seacaster

- If you like:

every joke zac oyama makes

when characters freak the fuck out (a la sexy rat™️)

having daddy issues so severe it’s in the DSM5

Then you should listen to The Mavrus Chronicles aka Hot Boy Summer. DMed by Emily Axford there are 7 free, main episodes with other spin-off episodes available on patreon (The Blazing Babe saga!) Serves as a prequel to a character first introduced in Campaign 1 but it can definitely be listened to on its own.

Beardsley continuing to be a senior, knowledgeable ttrpg player at the table like, "oh I just get out of there," "do you have another token to blow up?" it's like I've followed them from a high school jv team to the world series

to be so honest, 9 out of 10 complaints about Dropout properties loop back to people not understanding how production and scheduling work.

seasons of each show are shot over the course of weeks ( most likely with exceptions for convoluted shoots like game changer ). in most cases, multiple episodes are shot per day. things may be shot a year or more before release. on top of that, cast members are not full time staff— they are freelance performers with other obligations.

imagine coordinating with 3-7 performers to find time and shoot day that works for everyone when some of your talent works in NYC, runs another wildly successful dnd podcast, or writes for multiple tv shows. there’s a reason production companies like Dropout have casting directors and production coordinators. wrangling and scheduling people is truly a full time job!

now imagine scheduling these people AGAIN a year after they’ve filmed to have a talk back Q&A with fan submitted questions. it just doesn’t work logistically.

some might claim this isn’t murph truthing but i as a pro murph truther deem it so.

my official cast prediction for Never Stop Blowing Up is

Emily

Murph

Ify

Jacob

Zac

Erika

pls stop yours here too. i’m already obsessed with this season and we don’t even have a trailer yet

[moolymac]

i’m sure someone has already pointed this out but i’m absolutely obsessed that in the fantasy high world just normal basketball exists. it’s not some fantasy reimagining, it’s just real earth basketball

Riz keeps falling backwards into being the coolest fucker possible.

Full torso tatted up, but because he was going momento mode for a spring break project.

Prodigy private eye, but because his baby sitter went missing and she was his only friend at the time.

Smoking cigarettes while blasting dragons out of the sky, but to make sure his friend won a student election that he was really stressed about.

In like 20 years he's gonna be this high level street stalking debonair rouge with a gun from God, but if someone asks what his most challenging trail in life was he's gonna say high school Bloodrush games

[moolymac]

happy pride to gorgug in particular 💖 he’s only bi for one month out of the year so I hope he enjoys it

Deli saying "destiny has been designed" to the Queen of Candia.

Lou saying "destiny has been designed" after dealing 32 points of damage to Amethar's mom.

Destiny was designed. Not by the FDA, not by Matt, but by Brennan, years before. She did not live to see the end of the war. That was a fact of the world that nothing could change.

Destiny was designed, and with a single spell, Brennan killed Pamela Rocks for the second time.

I know the joke is that Riz has only ever expressed attraction to the Sexy Rat but honestly this is only more evidence that he is ace to me lmao. I don't think it's an exception to the rule, I think it's Riz trying to follow the rules. That is a dude taking his cues from Fig and Kristen because he heard Fig say "Sexy Rat" and was like "Got it, that's what sexy is supposed to mean" He's gonna get a good grade in Having A Crush, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve

[moolymac]

do you think we're best friends in other universes, too?

my first ever zine, fiendish prophecies! go check it out and give if you can, all proceeds go to PCRF and there are loads of crazy insane artists and writers on here i'm so honored to have worked with 😌⚔️🎸

wait wait what is gorgug can be bi for pride month /gen

so in 2020 when asked about gorgug’s sexuality zac said on a stream that “he was probably straight but could be bi for pride month” and people took that and ran with it and now every june people celebrate his one month of getting to be bi.

it was really big from like 2020 to 2022 but i think it’s died down a little bit bc like the actually clip is hard to find and most people who were around then aren’t as active anymore.

[moolymac]

what do you mean some of you don’t know about gorgug can be bi for pride month

[moolymac]

i’m coming back to this bc now i’ve imagined a world where k2 was a character option for ally during time quangle. like imagine kingston brown having to deal with british kristen. or like lapin.

thinking about the intrepid heroes doing all those live shows in the uk, knowing about k2, and not being able to make a single joke about her

as long as we’re talking about simulacrum shenanigans can i just inform everyone that in the trinyvale saga on naddpod, murph makes a simulacrum of onyx out of ice called frozonyx 2: olaf and then jake makes another simulacrum of onyx out of jam called jonyx the hedgehog and they call them their daughters and get really competitive over which is better

[moolymac]

kipperlilly had an insignificant death bcus she wasn’t a real adventurer and killed all her friends but that’s just my opinion idk
