[stone-stars]

Transcript:

Murph: If you would like to put-- Lake is just a real ass dog. [The players laugh.] If you would like to get her involved, I will kill a real ass dog. [Emily cackles.] Murph: This is your choice, Jake Hurwitz. Lou: Make him do it! Make him do it! Murph: Everyone at home-- Emily: Do it! Do it! Jake: Oh wow. "This is your choice Jake Hurwitz" not even Corbeau. [The others laugh.] Emily: If there's one thing I know about Jake, is he'll fuckin kill a dog for radio. He'll kill any animal for radio. Caldwell: Jake, this will make me think differently about you. Jake: Honestly, now that I'm challenged, Lake is gonna-- [the others laugh. Caldwell makes an inquisitive dog noise.] Lake-- Lake is going… Yeah. Yeah. Corbeau (Jake): Lake-- I, hey stay! Stay! Stay, Lake! Don't do it! Jake: Um, Corbeau wants Lake to stay, but Jake's gonna say that, uh-- Lake, uh-- I want Lake to bite Moxora's ankles so that I can get out of this. [Lou laughs and claps.] Murph: Uh, alright, go ahead and try to break her concentration. [Emily cackles.]

MAGIC PAINTBRUSH !!!!!!

oh no

[turtleducknewton]

“Traveler, how do I make a boy like me?”

[stupidsexygrizzop]

fjord to caleb the second they set foot on darktow: hey if this goes south i’m a little off in my own shit so i trust your judgement to make violent snap decisions to protect the group. you got me?

caleb the very next morning: 🤌🔥🔥🔥🔥

[lessattitudemorealtitude]

Oh my god, Liam is wearing a shirt with a cat that’s imagining a house on fire. I just... can’t, with him playing Caleb XD

[chiakery]

Rewatching c2 and finding so many beautiful scenes I've completely forgot about, like the entirety of ep41 - the Nein as confusingly gentle pirates, powder mokney Nott, the magic paintbrush... Exactly the type of episode I needed after a fucked up day.

[heytherecentaurs]

God you were my fucking dream for so fucking long but these people are my reality and it is by your actions that one of them has died and you tried to kill more of them and I will miss you so much but I… I cannot support this… Mr. Henry, kill her.

One of the most heartbreaking moments in all of Naddpod and probably all of D&D actual play media.

Emily Axford acts her ass off, you can hear the tears, the sobs and the catch in her voice as a she struggles to get the words out. She gives a performance for the ages and you can hear how it hits the guys at the table with her and it absolutely wrecks me every time.

[pocketgalaxies]

jester: *is cute*

top table: *in love*

[lilyproxin]

(spoilers for naddpod c2e41)

“what could you possibly kill that you love so much, it would make the sun rise again?”

[beauregardlionett]

the difference between travis and fjord watching nott prepare to fire a cannon is non-existent

Transcript:

Murph: But, eventually, fatigue overtakes you, and you fall into a deep sleep. And you have a strange dream. Fia: What? Murph: Fia, you are standing in the middle of a barren landscape. And, after a bit… you feel a warmth behind you, as someone stands back to back with you. You look down, and see the back of her hand against yours, [The Prodigal Sister begins playing.] Murph: But you can't turn around to look. Fia: I know this is just a dream, and you are just a figment of my mind, but-- Irina? Irina: Have you come to save me again, Fi? Fia: I-- I mean, I don't want to say I'm saving you, right, because that's kind of like a loaded thing, but I'm-- I just. The Guardians, they asked me to take care of you, and-- ah, to take care of you, that sounds patronizing to, I-- I'm just… I'm just worried about you. Murph: You hear Irina laugh, um, and she goes-- Irina: I have been worried about you, too, Fi. Fia: Really? Irina: Of course. I think about you all the time. Fia: Wh-- Where are you. I'm in Endoterra. Irina: I'm right here with you. You and I, we have a connection, and it's easier to reach in our subconscious and when we're within physical proximity of each other. I'm… in the castle. Fia: Is this real? Is this like… really real? Is this you or me? Irina: This is… both of us. I have had prophetic dreams that you and I would meet again.

Murph: She-- she grabs you and she goes-- Irina: Fi! It is so good to see you! Fia: You're real! Irina: Of course I'm real! Fia: You're actually really real! Irina: I'm right here! Fia: I-- Oh, my goodness gracious! Emily (narrating as Fia): Um, I-- I hug her. I like, put my little hands through her hair, I am just like-- Oh my g-- I touch her all over being like-- You're real. You're not a fiction of my dream! And I just say-- Fia: Oh my god, you're real.

Emily (narrating as Fia): I look up to Mister Hank. [Gunvar plays in the background.] Emily (narrating): and I look down at Irina, and I say-- Fia, crying: God, you were my fucking dream for so fucking long, but these people are my reality. And it is by your actions that one of them has died. And you tried to kill more of them. And I-- [sobs] will miss you so much. [Caldwell sobs in the background.] Fia, sobbing: But I-- [sobs] I cannot support this. Mister Henry, kill her.

Murph: You see, uh, she looks at Zirk. And her hands hit the grass, and she starts like-- spider crawling away. Irina: Nononononono. Fia: No! Stay here! Irina: Nononononono. Nonononono. Fia: What are you running away from? Irina, distressed: I did not do this! I am nn--! (breathes heavily) Fia, seriously: Irina. Your actions, or rather your sister's actions, led to this. At least stick around to try to right it. Irina: Fi, it was as if-- it was as if I was... outside of my own body. Fia: I know. I know it wasn't yo-- Irina, with increasing intensity: And everything made sense. I was angry, and I was right. I was just right. Someone was mad at me, and they were wrong, and they deserved to die. And they were just wrong, Fi. But it wasn't real, Fi. Fia: I know. Irina: It was a dream, Fi. Fia: It wasn't a dream! Irina: It was like a dream. Fia: Irina, it may have felt like a dream to you but it had very real repercussions to us! Anger is a fucking drug! You took a fucking drug, and now there are fucking consequences to deal with!

These scenes are happening in parallel

hi! i recently subscribed to the pateron, and im a little intimidated by all of the extra content available, lol. in your opinion, what are some of the funniest short rest / dungeon court / mixed bag episodes to start with? (if anyone else also has their fave eps to share please do)

oh wonderful! welcome to the best stupid show(s) money can buy.

i’m gonna operate under the assumption you’re caught up on main feed eps but if i suggest a short rest for an episode you haven’t listened to, definitely hit the episode first.

these are just off the top of my head with ones i can remember what they are, i may come up with more later lol

short rests:

i think short rests 99 and 100 should actually be required listening for everyone, they’re fucking earth shattering. start there.

the one for 70 is stupid and reveals how they almost lost the episode so that’s a good one.

c3e22 has one of the most insane short rests in retrospect. and c3e41 also has a bonkers short rest. they talk about santa manscaping in your bathroom. the episode came out in august. i wept.

c2e41’s campaign wrap up short rest also is a good time and gives good insights on the campaign.

the short rest for the can they kill it is the origin of crabster. 77 has a rose before noon. 91 ends with jake saying something so insane it ruins me.

the short rest for caldwells frooze your own adventure also slaps. the wilson brothers are there.

the brussels hookup is another 8bbc short rest that’s so dumb and beautiful.

c3e54 has them all hyped up on too much caffeine after a mixed bag and talking about jumping off decks onto frozen lakes and landing on one boob and one butt cheek. i wish i was kidding. it’s incredible.

dungeon courts:

i’m mostly gonna highlight patreon dungeon courts with the assumption you’ve listened to the corresponding main feed eps.

king robert can klump ft. ally beardsley. the flintstones costume fun around the house. you don’t know what that means but it’s. something.

a little place called mangia’s. murph breaks down. caldwell loses it. jake turns to google.

yuncle ft. jasper william cartwright. rats ride loose and your yuncle is power hungry.

the video dungeon courts are great, you can see murph lose it.

bird jail ft. zac oyama. actually anything with zac oyama. it’s great.

table rattlers ft. jeremy cobb. i don’t remember what happens exactly but it’s great.

the dm’s judge ft. lou wilson and zac oyama. absolutely iconic bench on this one.

mixed bags:

mixed bag tier my beloved!! so many are so good!

the whole blazing babe chronicles. not enough people know there was a second hot boy summer campaign that’s available on the mixed bag. caldwell spills half a corona on his character sheet. it’s a dry july and the boys are Not on the same page about it. love is love is love returns.

the biggest loreser is new but damn if it isn’t impeccable. warning: the fred flintstone noise is fucking LOUD

all the taste tests (energy drinks, m&ms, and gamer energy drinks). jake tries an expired products. jake later forgets to buy peanut m&ms while emily decides she can taste what color an m&m is. murph gets hyped on caffeine and has to take a break resulting in one of the most insane short rests to date. listen to the short rest first, it’s funnier that way.

if you can listen to live shows, (the sound is sometimes challenging) i recommend those. great starting point is the melbourne one from last year, i laughed so much the first time i heard it. “i was a lurking actor. that’s a union job!” also the boston dungeon court did hit the main feed but started as a mixed bag and i was there so i want to shout it out.

emily’s winter solstice one shot!! brennan and siobhan are there and it’s creepy and truly so fun.

both dungeons and dragons movies. jake and emily gaslight murph. they talk about a truly terrible set of films. there’s someone called grape lady that is a highlight.

both spilltaculars. at times a bit cringe, but it’s fun to hear other people’s failures sometimes because then you feel better about yourself. plus they make up a judgement scale that is different every time.

spellcheck! the game show that’s kinda sweeping the nation. or was. it’s fun.

that’s long (oops) and all i can think of off the top of my head. if people have other faves, share them for new patreon people!

also, my last bit of advice is to join the streams if you can. jake’s stream is for the short rest tier and above and caldwells is for the mixed bag tier and above. they’re wild. we had caldwell drawing everyone in crocs for like 6 months (it’s arguably why we’re getting the jibbitz). sometimes you get tucker lore. (tucker, the fictional man jake’s wife is cucking him with.) they’re grand.

I love this whole conversation between Fjord and Caleb. There’s a lot, but my favorite highlights....

Fjord: My initial impression of you was someone a bit timid and maybe reserved; meek even. But your tone, your opinion of what to do with Avantika in order to make sure that we’re okay, it seemed very... calculated. Very... risky. Do you mind me asking if you’ve... Have you ever sacrificed anything in order to achieve a greater goal?

Caleb talking about his father, saying that he’s largely failed him, and he wished he had his father’s courage (as if it’s not courageous to fight in a battle when you’re as physically vulnerable as he is)

-

Caleb: I think traveling with all of you has emboldened me some. I was alone for a long time and ran from everything. I like this group, and I enjoy traveling with you, Fjord. 

-

Fjord: You don’t miss much, do you?

Fjord asking Caleb to keep an eye on Avantika, trusting his judgement. Caleb nervously twiddling a wire in response.

Caleb: I think that woman is going to kill you, I really do.

I love that Fjord is really starting to see who Caleb really is. Not just because he’s paying more attention, but because Caleb is also starting to let some of his armor fall away. He’s okay considering these people his friends, and he’s become protective of them, in this moment, wanting to protect Fjord (from both Avantika and himself). That’s why some of his shrewdness has also come out. When Caleb has a goal, he will use all his power to ensure it happens. 

My boy Caleb, still generally self-hating but slowly healing
