Post "C3 Hearthside Questions! " by "naddpod"

Meg Kopacki

This is more for Jake and Calder, how do you find time and space to play D&D while parenting toddlers/babies? Let alone record the episodes, make the art, do the livestream, tour, ect.

PaperMoonMan

If you could play a campaign as one of the C3 NPCs, who would you choose? Only rule is not everyone can choose Gunk.

chlo!

what sun, moon, and rising would you assign yourself only using naddpod characters? any campaign ofc

Laura Jewell

Hey gang! If you could have a liquid come out of your index fingers on demand, what liquid would it be and why? You can only pick one.

Corey Friesen

Is Murph going to DM

Corey Friesen

what is campaign 4 going to be like 👍 👌 🤔

Nick Johnson

Campaign 4, would Emily be open to DMing? Or maybe an interlude campaign of like 10-15 eps? Murph kills it in these arrangements too, as a PC! Hot Boy Summer and Twilight Sanctorum are some of the best content NADDPOD has done, IMO

Atlantis Thermostat

I hope I'm not too late! I have a question for our DMs. I recently ran my 2nd One Shot- 2nd time dming! And I found it hard to keep the stakes up and tension going. What tips do you have to light a fire under your player's asses and to make it all interesting without continuously asking for saves for things?

BomVenusaur

She also had high praise for “The Priory of the Orange Tree”

Jack Malizia

Maybe a Campaign 3 quiz show??

Anand Gaitonde

Question: Murph, you used mentioned doing shorter arcs after C3. What length should we be expecting going forward? Are there any thoughts on having small one/two shots focused on different characters? Maybe have them even link together? *holding palms out with hands opening and closing* Also, more Trinyvale pleeeeease!!

Conor

Question for Murph Emily and Caldwell (If Jake grew a backbone and tried to DM he would be included) when designing villains are there things/events in real life that you draw from? I thought the rise of Alexandrite encountering Oberons prohecy was a super interesting way to think about the rise of AI against the backdrop of the current climate crisis, but maybe that's me reading too much in to it. Anyway hate the show never listened.

Shawn Harrison

As C3 is wrapped, I decided to play Final Fantasy XII for the first time (the remake) and I was hoping to hear the Two Crew's opinion on the great Tifa vs. Aerith debate!

Renee Wild

What’s coming up next for naddpod???

Jordan Brockman

For everyone ! Which character voice is your favorite / the most fun to do, also what are your methods in deciding what type of voice or accent to do for each character? Happy hoglidays y’all

DefyAllLogic

Gunk. Did being in the fey wild change his development or just the imagination of the PCs? Also did the PCs find a way to slow his aging so he wouldn't be dead of old age in a month? They seemed very concerned about that.

EternalJ

Jake the beef cake: Can you list the 3rd spells you took for Calder? I was hoping to see if Calder was going to throw an ice ball at Jovyre.

Samn DS

Hello! Thank you all for another season of magic and beauty! A question for Murph: When did you know that the stars & sky would play a huge part in the campaign? Did you have the Serpent Queen locked and loaded before Callie made the star map, or maybe was she inspired by that?

sara levene

Can we have a mini campaign at Albie’s magic school? The quest of the truly haunted bathroom.

sara levene

Can you tell us what changed Jovyre between where we left her in campaign 1 to what happened in campaign 3?

Haley Amplo

Will we ever see a Charbin x Pendergreens sidequest, and if so, will any of our beloved C1 or C3 PCs be there to witness the ensuing debauchery?

OddlySpecific

If someone remembers additional please comment! • Jade city • Adventures of Amina Alzeraphie • Invisible Cities (by Atalo Kalvino) • Black tongue thief • Bear and the Nightingale • Nettle and Bone

Mathieu

Merry hogladays and may the grinch not take you this night!! Jake, would you be interested in playing a spellcaster for next campaign?

YaniShadelynn

A Murph Question: Is Glen/Sawyer's mother Sparilla, Cooter's high elf wife (now probably ex wife) ?

The Wizard Spring

Yes, please share!

The Wizard Spring

If you could play any npc, known or unknown, in Bahumia, would you play?

Nova

A question for Murph: given that it's important to keep big plot points a secret from the PCs (including your wife!), is there anyone else you bounce ideas off of? Or are you comfortable making choices like ending Alexandrite in Frostwind without getting any feedback? Thanks, gang. A very happy hoglidays to you, two crew!

Tama

Hey gang! I was wondering if you guys ever have DnD related dreams, specifically if you have dreams from the pov of your character/s and if so which one? I adore the pod, running into Murph on the street before your anniversary show last september was a highlight of my life ♡

Tama

https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c1wq9g3v80ro

Tama

I would love that list if you don't mind sharing it!

Hunter Kerns

Hey Crew! Twilight Sanctorum parodies classic noir stories, Hot Boy Summer draws from classic 90’s-00’s stoner comedies, but are there any other film or book genres you see yourselves doing for mini campaigns in the future? A western in Shadowfell, a James Bond-style secret agent heist, etc.?

Joely

Thank you all for doing these, it’s a true gift during the hoglidays! I was re-listening to an old heart side chat from 2018 and was surprised to hear Emily say she was uncomfortable with crying while roleplaying. I was curious to hear if and how this has changed as you all have developed more emotionally complex characters and narratives over the last 6 years. Are there any scenes you wish that you’d have pushed harder on or pulled back from? Murph, how to you manage tone setting to prep yourself and PCs for more charged scenes?

Patrick Kunkel

How did everyone feel about their classes/subclass choices at the end? Any features you wish you could have gone a few more levels for?

Jack

Can Emily make a christmas album? Or just more music she's amazing

OddlySpecific

Not about C3, but: I've been compiling a list of all the books Emily has mentioned, do you guys have any genres you like, or favorite books you read recently? P.S. I started NADDPOD beginning of this year, and am finishing campaign 3!

OrangeCat

THIS ISNT RELATED TO C3 BUT PLEASE YOU GUYS MUST KNOW THAT A PERUVIAN POLICE OFFICER DRESSED AS THE GRINCH JUST LED A DRUG BUST

han!!

Murph-- what was behind the mists for duck team in Aryox's prophecy room!

Devon Isakson

Happy Hoglidays everybody! One of my favorite favorite favorite mixed bags is the tub brisket character workshop. I was wondering if you guys had plans to run that as a one shot at any point, or if that’s too far in the past ATP… have a Very Merry and congrats on the end of C3!

derek howard

The question on everyone’s mind

The Wizard Spring

If you were a tree, what tree would you be? (Any living or fictional tree, I'm not picky)

Like a bat out of The 9 Hells I’ll be gone when the morning comes

To Emily: Your music is so beautiful and you’re an amazing artist. I’m always impressed with the songs you put out. Do any of the crew help you with your music? Does anyone help you with editing, lyrics, or feedback? Thank you all for your amazing story telling. Happy Hoglidays, and a Sappy New Year to you all.

ash r.

Relistening to the C3 finale and every time Murph describes the haze clearing from Marigold’s eyes, I think of the How to Train Your Dragon movie when Toothless is being mind controlled and his pupils change. Anyways, what’s y’all’s favorite dragon from the How to Train Your Dragon series?

DefyAllLogic

I had the same thought but they got the bits and it satisfied their objective enough for them to go off with the angry demigoddess lady and trashcan. But I can't recall for sure if Murph mentioned it during the end of the episode or during the short rest.

Kyle Morley

What happened with the automatons they never got the crown

Jessica Keegan

What are your Spotify wrapped?

TwoPuppetsTTV

He’s too scared to address this

CommodoreBlue

Murph, were there any actions Duck Team did in the first encounter with Alexandrite that drastically changed what you had planned? Is there anything they could have done differently that would have changed things drastically?

CommodoreBlue

What are moments from the first 15 to 20 episodes that you look back on fondly? For me, Calder saying “you all saw that, she fell,” when Petunia Glenbottle was pushed down the stairs is one of the funniest moments of the campaign.

Oppa SJ Style

To Murph, Congratulations on three campaigns in the books! After years of work behind the screen, what is the major DM lesson/takeaway from each campaign that you use for future stories?

Lexi loves the 2 crew!

Adding to the music question bc emily said she’s releasing b-sides - yay!! Are there plans to release the instrumentals??

Victor T (Balnor's Boy)

What are some other tropes that you would do for Hot Boy Summer if you couldn’t play your current characters? Emily what would be the character you would play as a PC in hot boy summer?

David Campbell

If you could add a filler arc to C3 to explore more character relationships, what would it be?

Gramm

If you were to do a Nannerfly Effect tour for C3, what moments would each of you most like to revisit?

zarratm

For everyone: was there an actual real possibility that the duck team could have lost?

Ford

Hey Jake! Sorry this isn’t a C3 question, but my wife and I just watched Die Hard for the first time and we have an urgent question: Why would Hans Grüber, who is portrayed as very clever and calculating, expect that his plan had any chance of success? His method of escape was just a van parked underneath a building surrounded by cops and FBI (who he wanted to be there). As the resident Die Hard expert, we hoped you could shed some light on this issue for us!

zarratm

For Jake: was there a universe where Calder takes the deal with Jovier to not swing his sword in the darkness?

Austin Wiggin

For Shmemily: Your bard/paladin build is amazing. If you could come up for a hybrid name of the build, what would you call it?

Austin Wiggin

For Caldwell: Where would you like to see Albin and Saul's magic school be built?

Austin Wiggin

For Jake: Did you get to play enough of Calder? I'm relistening to C3 and when Calder is stuck in the helm for a few episodes I really miss him!

Austin Wiggin

Omg end of the year end of c3! Feelings are intense rn. Q for Murph: what was your decision behind setting the elven city of Sunaeir in the campaign? Everything felt like it needed to be there, but I was curious about the choice of that over something more connected to the characters, like MarionGate or Moonstone (foe the bulliwags)

stream eaxford’s doomsday diaries on spotify

happy hoglidays!! first q is for murph: murph did u know ur instagram handle isn’t actually @chmurph so you aren’t actually “@chmurph is me”? second actual c3 q is: which PC and NPCs of the campaign are most likely to wear crocs?

cc

I noticed a lot of similarities from the restoration of the feywild to the aboriginal Dreamtime creation story, the rainbow serpent! Did the idea of the serpents come from this story, if not, how did they come to be?

Kyle Coad

does murph play rocket league or mayhap watch the esport? if y to the first q, what rank are you brother? ggs y’all

Li I

What would happen if Moonshine or Beverly joined Duck Team instead of Hardwon? How would that go? What did Hardwon tell Moonshine and Beverly about Duck Team once he was back to the Astral Plane? (I know they’re being sieged but that had never stopped them from talking about whatever)

Magestain

This one's for all of you: If you had one non-dice-related do-over, what would it be?

Justme

We ever coming back to twilight Sanctorum? Will Jake ever play a spell caster?

BomVenusaur

Hi sweeties, I was wondering if the green knights were successful in bringing back Queen Cirilla? signed, Twilight Sanctorum’s number 1 fan❤️

Rotem Cohen

What are the things you’re most excited about doing next on naddpod?

Bryan A

Question for Murph: did you have an ending in mind when the campaign began? Did you see Alexandrite being the ending BBEG or did you always assume there was something else coming? PS You guys are great!

Edward Smith

q for the rat with veneers, what elements are most important to consider for a final arc/session, and how do you make it feel like it’s “enough”? My 2 year campaign is coming to an end and I’m riding the struggle bus

Li I

During the final battle Queen Jovyre’s spell casting really made me wish I was playing a high lvl wizard/sorcerer. How did you pick out the spells for her? Did she have more spells that we didn’t see?

Bor

Q: I just started with this campaign, how do you feel knowing I will get to experience all of campaign 3 for the first time?

Alex Gonzalez-Garcia

Q for James: when’re we getting that one shot buddy

Joe

Who would win in a fight between all the characters you have played?

god himself

for murph! if gunk were to be statted out like a pc, would he be an open sea paladin?

Natex

You’ve grown so much in this past year and experienced new playstyles, stories, and characters… so what has that growth taught you about your approach to storytelling and role-playing? How have these experiences shaped the way you view your characters and the world that has been created?

thelizbian

Fuck, marry, kill: Alexandrite, Jovyre, Glen

Griffin

Have y'all heard the song Possum By Night by The Mountain Goats? You'd like it. Thanks for lovin and honouring lil creatures in your campaigns

Calic Tolentino

As future campaign comes will become shorter forms, who are your wishlist for guest players? maybe even, a guess DM.

Just J

Murph, What advice would you have for a beginner dm who dreams of writing a module? Do you think it’s best to start with a module, a homemade story within the premade world, or a homemade setting for someone’s first campaign? (Love the show and am so proud to say I am all caught up on campaigns, hot boy summer, and trinnyvale, mixed bags here I come!)

localhoney_

What would your titles be as C4's Knights of the Prawn Table? And Murph, will they be pulling a lobster claw from a clamshell?

Natalia

How have the past characters you've played (Naddpod, D20, or elsewhere) shaped your play in now? What did your past characters teach you about the way you strategize or improvise?

Shawn Harrison

Hey you hot losers, if you had the ability to summon and dismiss one item that you own at will (any time, any place), what would you pick?

Champ wild

Not a query but a suggestion for an 8-bit book club secret level the PAC-man episode .

Old Nog

Is the Lorax the anti grinch? And who would be more likely to win survivor?

Old Nog

Who was everyone’s favorite npc?

Reverse Lamia

Not a question, but can we please get the short rests added to the Trinyvale collection???

Divergent Hedgehog

"Calder makes fire" was the third thing I added to my finale bingo card and I was so excited!

Divergent Hedgehog

How did the guys all react to the Hardwon the Giant Layer song?? Everyone on the Naddcord was losing it 😂

Cord

What up, 2 crew! Everyone is wondering where y’all are going next for campaign settings. Instead of leaving it opened ended, I’m going to list several settings/themed and y’all can do yes/no or one word reactions or discuss each one. Dealer’s choice! Ready? - Wild West - Whoville - Space (not necessarily Star Wars themed unless it’s podracing focused of course) - Treasure hunting? (I.e. Indiana jones / uncharted) - Myst lol - Ski chalet (hot boy summer) Big fan of 8 Bit Book Club, I heard that there’s this guy Joaquin Hurwizo who’d really like to guest on it

tth

For all, what is your ideal campaign setting/genre?

Donny

Shorter campaigns means grinding through a lot of characters. Will you mostly make new characters for new campaigns, or will we see many familiar faces a la the Rotating Heroes podcast?

mason enfinger

Q for Murph: What are your ideas for the future of expanding NADDPOD? Do you want to do some more guest DMs? Bring in more guest players? I know you’ve said you want to do shorter campaigns going forward, curious if you have other ideas.

Kelly Berg

For Emily: what was your writing process like for the TWO beautiful campaign ending songs?

Carley Corbett

One character (PC or NPC) is replaced by the Grinch and is thrust into the GCU (Grinch Cinematic Universe). How would the Grinch change the narrative in that position and how would the character do in the GCU? Happy Hoglidays & love you guys lots <3

xatlern

What surprised you most in the finale? What do you think will be next?

Jake Of No Trades

After three campaigns whose PC would come out on top in a tournament ark? (If Murphy feels left out he has Jens, Mac and Frankie)

Gerald Taylor

Murph: What an incredibly juicy tease when Jovyre starting warning Duck Team about the threat of rogue gods! What more, if anything, are you willing to say about what the rogue gods (and perhaps also the Band of Boobs) are up to out on the Astral Plane? Or was Jovyre just lying about all that the whole time?

Elana Kadish

i’d love to hear emily talk about about her process of writing the songs we heard in the finale! i love them so so much! <3

Intestinal-Bookworms

In campaign one, Jovyre was pretty chill. What made you decide to make her the big bad? Did taking on the winter crown warp her to make her more evil?

Emily Hood

What are each of your one rep max on squat?

Bryce Hester

Howdy yall. Did the emotional and personal growth in the personality of your characters impact your own personal lives? Have a happy Hoglidays!!! Merry Crickmas!!!

Magestain

Murph! If you got the chance to make your own character in your own world for this campaign, what kind of character do you think you would have made?

LaRockin’

Hello and Happy Sonickkah! Did everyone know about the time jump epilogue ahead of time or did Murph spring that on yall? Either way beautiful ending to an amazing story!

MAH DICK FELL OFF

What did you expect for your characters at the start of the campaign in terms of growth and how different did they end up being from what you thought?

maje

For Murph, what part of the campaign took the most planning and for everyone else what arc did you most think about your character outside of sessions?

DefyAllLogic

What happened to Beatrix Netherin after the crash? She kinda started half (a third? )of this...

Anna Barnes

In session 0 Murph said that the Bon Freres were dead at this point in time. So how did they die in the cannon C3 timeline?

Vote Emily Axford for Witch Queen of Sedona AZ

Why arent you a grillionair after writing the Giant Layer Balad its should be printing money

Nicole Jordan

What were your favorite role play moments of C3? Thank you for the amazing content! You guys are the best

Anna Barnes

How do you think the Trinyvale Triplets would have reacted if instead of vacationing in Moonstone circa campaign 1, they ended up in Ezry, 200 years later for the start of campaign 3?

Nicole Jordan

Emily what was your favorite music to write for C3?

Evan Konc

For the whole gang: which NPC's heel turn would be the most devastating? Whose would be the most interesting? Great job on C3! Y'all really carried Jark through it.

DefyAllLogic

Why did Swag die? I was confused if it was because of a choice or dice roll or because Sol chose one path instead of another. It happens kind of off screen so I felt like it was because there was a missed opportunity to save him but I couldn't put it together as I was listening.

christien

I'd really like to know two big things! One is if we will get another big campaign eventually? The 3 so far have been absolutely amazing and while I've also loved all the short form I'd miss the epic Murphy magic. 2: is there a reason we get less guests lately? Jabari the safari etc have been greatly missed

charlie garcia

This is for Murph: When are you at your Murphiest and why?

Transfemmes4murph

em, what is your process like for writing such emotionally involved, poignant campaign music ? (i am a huge fan and your music has made me tear up twice this campaign )

Its_Ven

for all of u!! what is the thing youll miss most now that c3 is over??? love u guys!!

William Holland

If the party's from all 3 campaigns were to be mixed up and dealt out into new groups, which would would drive Murph insane first.

Anna Barnes

Jokes on you, Gunk can never die

Ben Foulcher

Hello everyone! Happy Holidays! What has been everyone’s favourite character to play based purely on the mechanics? What new builds get you all excited? Thank you for all the incredible content and memories!

shakusky

Campaign 4: The Multiverse of Mavrus

Michael K

When C3 was first being teased - Murph mentioned that Mothership was going to be called “Allan Inc” (pronounced like Alanis from campaign 1). What was the reason for that change? I secretly thought there would be a big twist that Alanis was responsible for Mothership and the name was changed to avoid the spoiler early on.

Brittney Jess

Is the only way to end a Bahumia BBEG to eat them i.e moonshine eating Thalia and duck team eating the crown?

puss-in-kinky-boots

Happy Hoglidays 2 Crew! If you had to pick your favorite moment from this campaign that was initiated by/centered around one of your fellow PCs, what would it be?

Z Juhn

Murph! How long did you have the fire bit for Jake planned? And Jake! How did it feel having such an epic wrap up to your character?

Hunter Gahr

Hello 2 Crew! Question for all: What are some dream fictional guests to have on the pod? IE sonic the hedgehog, the grinch, Fred Flintstone, etc?

Zachary Smith

Everyone: Thoughts on worst/best multiversal teamups in a theoretical, original live show format? Obviously similar to, but legally distinct from, another d&d property's recent live show format. I'd personally pay good money to see Caldwell DM Jens/Cinnamon/Caulder fighting BBEG Albin.

William Lambertz

#releasetheletter (C1)

Cass Cassillas

If our beloved baliff is willing to talk about it, what's going on with Jake's low-fantasy campaign? Could we expect to see his debut behind the DM screen soon?

Del

It seems like there are a lot of buds that could come from this campaign! From a potential band of boobs in space adventure, to a look at Gunks escapades with his shrimp knight companions, an exploration of the changed landscapes of Bahumia, and of course to duck teams next adventure set up at the end! Is there anything you guys are most excited by or interested in exploring?

Squirrelly Girlie the not very girlie squirrel

Murph, please I beg you answer this question

gertie

Hello to truly my favourite discovery of the last year; especially Emily. My question is for each of you, if there was one thing about C3 you could change (whether a character choice made or plot point) what would it be & why? I always wonder what you'd look back on the most after a campaign like this. Also will you come back to these characters for one shots in the future?

Jenna H

Emily, can you please put your original music on Bandcamp in addition to the other streaming services?

Celeste H

Hey, Two Crew. I have no questions. I just wanted you guys to know that over the past year I’ve had the worst anxiety and panic attacks I’ve ever experienced, have felt physically and mentally ill, and ultimately alone. Then, to help me sleep at night, I played a few podcasts so I wouldn’t be left in silence. I remember one night waking up at odd hours, anxious, not sure which podcast was playing. But I found myself chuckling, because I heard something absurd. I thought, “Did they just say dragon pussy?” Since then, the sound of your laughter, shenanigans, and saltiness has helped me laugh my way out of potential anxiety attacks. You encouraged me to try D&D for myself, and I discovered a tribe of my own that encourages me to enjoy the same joyful environment I listened to in order to help me sleep. Thank you for being with me for 2024, Two Crew. See you in 2025 <3

AndrewV

Howdy Hearthside Heathens !! 2 questions First For the future mini campaigns is there any plan to have them interconnected or related? I really enjoyed the all monks arc of c2 and how it focused on a different “front of the war” but still tied back to the major conflict. Second question will there be more rotation in the DMs? I love seeing how the dynamic changes based on who is in the drivers seat. Thanks for an amazing c3 and can’t wait for the future.

Hot-Wheels Enthusiast

Hello Gang! Just wanted to ask Em how was it to write the amazing Giant Layer song for Hardwon because it definitely was a BIG SLAM DUNK for me! Love you guys and thanks for making my days brighter.

RichPanda

I just want to say thank you all. You've inspired me to start DMing again. I was so burnt out from it but listening to the podcast has improved not only my mental state but how I feel about dnd. So thank you so much for this wonderful podcast. I'm only on campaign 2 but I'm on the last few episodes. I have no idea what happened during this last campaign but I'm hoping to hear this when I eventually catch up. What is each of your biggest regrets and biggest moment/action that you are the most satisfied with since the start of the podcast? Once again thank all of you and I love y'all. P.S. if there is time who do you think is the strongest familiar between any campaign if there is time.

Tabaxi Driud Sarah

Hey all... I know it's not a campaign question, but how are all the critters? The Axmurph cats? The ferel kitties (including Plug of course)? The 2 crew dogs? I work with cats so I'm very invested in how all the animals are doing lol. To make it d&d related, is there any not real creature that you wish you could have as a pet? Personally I want to tressym. Thanks for another year of incredible laughs and incredible stories. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Kade

Hey gang, early on you said you wanted to bring more guests on this season, but then there weren't any. Was there a reason for that, and will you have guests on for the mini campaigns going forward?

Kelsey Kautzsch

Looking back… Were there any changes within the characters that surprised any of you?

Not_Your_Mammas_Philosopher

Hey dudes and du As you reflect on the end of C3, where there are lessons you learned from other campaigns that you sought to apply to this campaign/character? P.S. You did an all monks arc… but when are we getting an all Grinch campaign when??

Nat20wife

Evening hearthers. My question js for Emily. Could you talk about your process of writing and creating the two songs we heard in the finale? Did either exist in any capacity before the finale? Did Jake have any input into Hardone’s ballad?

Nat

Hearty Hearthers, but specifically Emily “Executioners’s Axe” -Ford. I love your use of all spells. Always awesome and epic, and love seeing non-standard ones. How often or how far in advanced do you consider uses and ways of making yourself super cool? Also, can you help me build my first Magic deck? Loved the hydras!

Riley Holmes

It seems like with all the things going on with Gruumsh he’s the next big bad, is he going to have a small arc or is he going to have his own campaign a year or so from now?

Nat

Hearthside Homies and Homettes. I loved Jake’s rhyme in the finale. It was perfect the way he intentionally flubbed the very last one of the campaign. Anyway, will you please actually do a one-shot or short campaign about the Knights of the Prawn Table?

Dillon Incantalupo

Hey Murph! Did you draw any inspiration from the Storm King’s Thunder module. Just recently wrapped a level 20 play through of it while the campaign gad been coming out and it has some cool parallel vibes

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Is the finale of C3 an ending or a preview?

HellishRebuker, PhD

I haven't had time to finish the finale of C3, so I'm having to be careful to avoid looking at these comments to avoid spoilers, so sorry if this is a repeat question! What are the stand-out moments that you think you'll first think of when you think of C3? Honestly, for me, I think it's the "Duck Team Sucks" joke from Ezry. Listening to Murph's NPCs be so perplexed and confused by it will live rent free in my brain for a long time. It might be somewhat small in a world-saving adventure but I really feel like those moments kind of sum up who Duck Team is and how they relate to the outside world. Thanks for a really excellent story, 2 Crew! Cannot wait to see what's next!

Riley Holmes

Jake one shot?

Nat

Hearthside Homies and Homettes, I noticed a distinct lack of being transported into a game of Magic the Gathering. What’s up with that?

Henri

For everyone: if your character existed in our reality, what would they dress up as for Halloween?

ChronoT

For Murph, C3 was notably absent of guest appearances. Was this an intentional decision or inability to align schedules? PS hate the show, never listened. Fuck you I love you eat a rat

Timothy Mason

Not specific to C3, but please weigh in on the real life example of the Grinch wwyd involving a Peruvian drug bust

Tijay Arnie

For Murph I'm wondering with the creation of the automatons, if you have another session in Bahumia, with a similar times kip to the one between C1 and C3, will it be more magitek cyberpunk inspired?

Nile

What were the multiclasses for this campaign, and how many levels in each?

Darkrisky

When I relistened, Hardwon never used any other spell than Shield as far as I remember and I don’t remember hearing them mentioning anything so I was just curious since they were all kind of new at that point.

Mac

please don't quote me, i beg you but i think early on jake thought it meant 2 level 1 spells... and not 2 cantrips and a 1st level. unless im remembering a different campaign in which case disregard me. i think thats what happened there. i thought they talked about it either on an episode or on a short rest/QnA

SunKi11er

Also this question is for Murph, obviously, but I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts abt her development from being an ally in c1 to c3’s big bad

Westheimer

For Murph, in Bahumia campaigns you're listed as the Direct Messenger, but Eldermourne you're the Dungeon Master. Is there hidden lore behind the title, or was it just a funny way to be a DM that stuck only for that world?

SunKi11er

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about and wondering as to how Jovyre went from being a kind and empathetic ruler, who was of her people, to what she was by the end of c3. I know you touched upon it a little during the scene where she had Calder in that sensory deprivation void in the middle of the fight, but how much of Jovyre’s fall from grace had to do with her own lapse in morals and values, and internal desire for power and validation, vs the corrupting nature of the winter court crown, which was implied (or stated, I can’t remember) to have corrupted Ezra herself, especially as Jovyre is seen implementing similar powers as Ezra in a very round about way? How much of this was intentional character development, vs a sort of innocuous side plot you didn’t really think about? I’d love to know if any of this was intentional, or if I’m just fixating on a detail that’s probably just a result of there being 4 plus years between the end of c1 and c3. Thanks, and happy hog-lidays to you all♥️

Mac

all of the above

Calic Tolentino

For everyone, As all of you are parents (with some child furrier than the others) how did that ending song affect you?

Jack Dineen

For the group - if Gunk had died, how would you have reacted? Would Murph still be with us?

Westheimer

For the Non-Murphs, who was the most frightening villian of C3? For the Murphs, who did you think was going to be the scariest?

Jack Dineen

For Emily - Caliope's arc this campaign mirrors real-life growth that a lot of people deal with, particularly in dealing with her complex feelings about Glen, but also just growing from someone whose worldview consisted of herself and maybe a handful of other people into a part of something greater. Was that the direction that you always intended to go with her, or is it something that just developed organically?

OlGhettoGandalf

How do you think you've grown across campaign 3?

Tyler Harper

For the group: now that you’re nearing the end of the campaign, looking back is there anything you wish you had done that you felt you’ve missed out on? any parts of the world you wanted to explore but didn’t get the chance, npc backstories you wish you could’ve seen more of, that kind of thing?

Jack Dineen

For Jake - this marks the third campaign where your character serves as the linchpin in saving the world (Hardwon dealing hundreds of damage in the fight against Theala, Henry successfully removing Irina's crown, and now Calder successfully casting wish). How does it feel to have that kind of weight on your shoulders at such pivitol moments?

YourAnimeDad

For the Group, what was your favorite mechanic that was brewed up for you (or by you)

lizznotliz

Murph, can you tell us anything about the Kindleaf that was mentioned among the Feywild Green Knights?

Jack Dineen

For Murph - What would have happened in the event of a TPK? Would campaign 4 essentially become a romp through a post-apocalyptic world that had been decimated by the conflict between Gruumsh and Jovere, or would the NPCs have been able to rally and finish the job that Duck Team started?

Kelly Berg

For murph: how would you build a monster that looks like the grinch …or heck… it might even be the grinch itself? And for everyone else: what would be your strategy to take this monster down

Kelly Berg

For murph (but I’d be curious for everyone’s answer): What are your biggest 'what if' moments in the campaign? Are there any choices or rolls that could’ve gone differently and how do you see them changing the course of the campaign?

Jack Dineen

For Caldwell - Did the unexpected birth of your new baby (congratulations by the way) at all impact the way you personally wanted the way Sol's story to end?

Raedeb

What are your favorite holiday traditions?

Jacob Nickerson

To the whole crew: what class/subclass are you most looking forward to playing in the future? Also, was there any multiclasses that you thought about playing in C3, but it never worked out?

Cade Holdstock

May it please the hearth. I have a question for Murph: was the idea of being "peregrine" inspired by "ta'veren" from the Wheel of Time series? I know you've mentioned that's where Egwene's name comes from and it seems like the Chosen were also inspired by the Children of the Light.

Kelly Berg

For the crew: could you Austin powers the Babe Pig in the city movies? (Watch in reverse order) would it improve or worsen the movie experience for you?

Jacob LeBouff

Do you think with the smaller campaigns you’ll have more guests playing with y’all? (And not just dungeon court) I was sad when there was an absent of guests in C3, Also it’s a bummer I share a name with one of y’all

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Is 2025 the year of Gunk!?!

Connor Ayres

And for the 2 crew, was there any spells/feats which you regret taking. On the flip side some you wish you had tried?

Kelly Berg

Would you ever do a “can they kill it” with Duck team? And if so what are your dream monsters to fight (or use for murph)

Leah

for murph, where did you draw inspiration for glen? any characters in other media or people you’ve known in real life?

Connor Ayres

Another for murph. Do you immediately have a want to carry on with within bahoomia? Or do you want to tackle another theme/land?

Connor Ayres

For Murphy. Now that C3 is complete (I’ve not finished yet but eager to finish!!). Was there anything you wish had happened throughout the campaign? Such as alexandrite not dying in the ice knife? Or Calder not being trapped in the helm?

Christopher Camel

For the group: Campaign 3 was amazing, but I missed the great guest arcs from C1/C2. Why didn’t campaign 3 have any guest characters?

Joe Lenton

For the whole gang: Guest stars, where they at?! Some of my fave arcs involve guests, and I’m hoping for some old favourites and new friends as we move into shorter campaigns!

CaptLizianthus

For Murph: what’s the stat block for a Squight? Love that for our girl Kenna!

Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo the third

For Murph. What let to the decision to have princess Jovyere take on a role as an antagonist after she appeared as an uneasy ally to the band of boobs in C1?

Nicolas Lee

Just finishing up the last episode and loving it! Does Emily plan to put more of her incredible songs on Spotify? I use them in the sessions I dm, which made me in the top 0.05% of Emily Axford listeners on my Spotify wrapped

TheLazyHusky

Are y'all going to explore what Hard won, Moonshine, and Beverly were up to during this time at all?

Totally Offside

For listening, flipping, or both?

rosebunting

Why can't Ol' Cobb be brought back to life? Huh Murph?? MURPH??

Joshua Goguen

For the crew: Has there been talks of returning to Shadowfell to catch up with the founding family of twilight sanctorum? Emily you did such an amazing job bringing that world to life, and of course Frankie, Penny and that freaky little fella. Cheers!

Joshua Matejka

Murph: Before the campaign you discussed not bringing too much of C1 into the story, but we ended up seeing a lot of story elements get incorporated in a way that was perfectly textured to still let the C3 story thrive on its own. How did you strike the balance while you wrote and prepped?

Victoria Cutler

It’s the Hoglidays! What Secret Sonic gift would your C3 character get for all the other PCs?

Nathaniel J

Fuck marry kill: Band of Boobs, The third Mates, The 2 Crew

ChristheFu

Happy Hoglidays Two Crew! My brother is back home from college (yippee) and we’re both avid Naddpod fans so we decided to listen to the finale together and eat some pizza. We ate together and listened to the episode and eventually were down to the last slice. I asked “Can I have it?” To which he replied, “How DARE you.” He’s always been a little outrageous so I took that response as a joke and took the last slice. Apparently he wasn’t joking and I had grievously wounded him. Do you think I should have let him have the pizza or should I have taken that outrageous response as the joke I thought it was?

Rayjay Johnson

For everyone: If you had a guest PC again, who would be your absolute dream guest (dead or alive)?

Shmule Scanlon

Question for all what's you favorite word/slang from the 80s/90s

Mirarreiro

ohh I like this one!!

Axel Ottel

Question for everyone. If all your characters were at the same New Years Party, who would have the most awkward drunken kiss?

Vivi

With C3 wrapping up and the 2 crew moving onto shorter campaigns, what is everyone's advice on making true, single session one-shots?

Mirarreiro

With the next campaign(s) being shorter, that gives the players the potential to make more characters more often. What is your thoughts process going into new character creation? Ex. Emily, will you consider playing a class that relies less on spells since it would (technically!) be less of a years+ commitment? Or will this give you the chance to *really* optimize a spellcaster for the setting/party? Caldwell, is there a class you've been itching to try? Jake, are you worried about running out of fighter subclasses? 🤣

GDBadger

Question for the Crew: with the end of a long term campaign, and a bit of a reset, do you plan on switching to the revised 5e rules or perhaps some sort of hybrid of the 2014 and 2024 rules?

RT

Not a campaign question but if you were a holiday treat what treat would each of you be.

alli

question for murph: at what point in the time off between crown of dreams and old man on the edge of town did you first have the idea to bring back hardwon?

Nick francis

For Murph I’ve Ben listening to you guys for over a year now and have over 400 hours of listening to do the most amazing work an I wanted to know what can I do to get into dming for my friends an family an have them be as interested as me or at least wanna play more?? P.s Murph how was the womping you got for the crew in this last ep??

Slade Robertson

For Emily: Which of the songs you've written for the podcast is your favorite? I'm a big fan of Ill Luck Henry and Home Is Where The Hearth Is, myself.

Hunter Roberts

For Murph: when are you going to release a campaign setting? I really want to get my friends to start playing, and feel like Bahumia is the perfect continent to drop them into for their first game.

Ashton Johnson

For the whole 2 crew! What is the most memorable scene/battle for you in C3? I think this entire campaign has probably some of my favorite battle scenes (Cali being a literal moon goddess still one of the coolest battle scenes I’ve ever heard) to all the amazing rp (for me ice knife arc and dragon elf chronicles arc absolutely knock it out of the park with rp moments); I’d love to know your picks!

Alec Krance

Brian, what class did you play the most of in EverQuest?

Gweneficial

Here's a question for Murph. Between Galad in C1 and Glenn in C3, do you feel like your plans for your big bad Bahumia NPCs are cursed? Do you have any plans to prevent the trend from continuing on in future campaigns, or are these just examples of the tiny Ls a DM must take and deal with?

Trey

Happy Hoglidays! As Emily continues to explore cinema in reverse; what tales are next in her research? Between Star Wars, Venom and Austin Powers (Oh Baby!), is the Marvel Cinematic Universe next? What other films has she missed over the years? Much love from Chicago! P.s. its my birthday tomorrow (xmas eve) can Jake the Cake recommend a good flavor of cake to have?

Impish

seconding this!

Ali Fitz

Dear 2 crew, thank you all for such a phenomenal campaign, such a joy to listen to ❤️ Was wondering what you think Duck Team (and Kenna) would give each other for the Hoglidays as presents?

Terrell Swanson

Seeing as he has been such a great guest on the pod, do you plan on having Jake come back for more or will you finally bring in somebody a bit more interesting?

Grass

also, HATE the show ❤️

Ana Faithe Allen

Hey all! Happy Hoglidays! This campaign seemed to lean into themes of sibling and familial relationships, did you find yourself pulling from your personal lives for inspiration or were you more inspired by other media? As a someone with 3 siblings, I loved hearing the interactions between Calder and his brothers.

Grass

If each of your pets were in a 5e campaign together, what classes would they play?

Krystine W.

Shout out to the C3 Cree! Whether it's making people cry through Murph's incredible monologues, or laughs at piss drinking and dragon pussies and each spilltacular Caldwell goof, or (for some of us) learning how to play alongside Jake, or bristling with envy that we'll never be able to embody a character quite like Emily - it is obvious that NADDPOD has made an impact on so many people in so many ways. So here, at the end of a campaign, at the end of 7 years, and as we prepare to hear more of your stories in the coming years - what is it that stands out to you all over this journey from C1 to C3?

Sydney Cooke

Crew, would you ever consider selling CDs/vinyl of the campaign soundtracks?

The Fun Yaunt

Hey, 2 Crew! I noticed that there were no guest PCs in Campaign 3– was that a conscious choice or a result of scheduling conflicts? PS Hate the show

Carlos

What character form baldurs gate 3 do you think would be yourselves

Sam A.

For Jake: When are we getting that granary fight, my man?

My Names Mike

Hey y’all! Another great campaign! Question for everyone, what surprised you most about your character’s development from the start of the campaign to where they ended?

Lauren Cooper

When do you guys think you'll do live shows again?

Alex Stixon

In C1, the feywild and material plane timeliness are not 1:1 (e.g. Cran and Derlin) but this didn't seem to happen in C3. Did the events of C1 (Moonshine w/ thinking cap) tie the timeliness together? Sorry if the answer was established Merryngate's lore.

Sydney Cooke

Emily, will you be releasing the C3 finale songs on spotify??

Graham Jones

I’ve been re-listening to the campaign (almost done with campaign 2 again!) and you guys sometimes make allusions to future characters that you end up playing (I know early in campaign 2 Emily talked about a bard/paladin combo, Caldwell talked about playing a monk around the same time, and Murph discussed a potential cyberpunky campaign I think towards the end of campaign 1, Jake always plays fighter) I was curious if you guys have a list of characters/story things that you want to do that you pull from or if they just stick in your head until you’re able to do them?

Jordan Innerarity

This question is for Murph. Were there any plans that Murph needed to throw out due to the direction the crew took, or any guest players that couldn't occur to the the direction that the campaign took?

Bgn87

Q For Murph! Towards the end it was mentioned the Feywild and mortal planes were planets. How does the cosmology work between planes? If I built a spaceship in the Material Plane could I phsically fly to the Ruby Dawn or the Feywild? P.S Hate the show, love the grinch.

Zeke10n

What's for the crew? Will Jake DM a live show?

Jamie Matthews

What are the C3 PCs (and Kenna ofc) getting each other as gifts for the Hoglidays??

Gigi Grilli

Now that you've all successfully made it to the end of another amazing campaign, which of your characters journey through the story has surprised you the most?

Azeem

I just assumed it was our man Caldwell!

Nick Lerche

What's next for the 2 crew? Some short campaigns? Will we ever get guests on a campaign ep again? And when is Jake DMing ?

Wulfgar Ramsey

First time caller long time listener, who does the art for each one of the campaign covers, I love the little touches p.s. can’t wait/hope to see some hot boys in the new year

Daniel A.

Murph! The homebrew of the Warfare rules from MCDM was incredible! Would the Two Crew ever want to use the Intrigue or Heroic Organizations from MCDM in NADDPod? Also, I beg of thee: give Emily sticks to snakes!

Ken

For the whole crew! From Cali being literally bitten to Calder and Albin's contentious relationship. There were so many goofs and bits. What were each of your favorite bits in the campaign?

Moon Question Guy

For Emily, If you were to cook your dice while standing on the moon itself (for maximum moonlight exposure) would you place the 20 facing up at the sun or down at the moons surface?

Anson Pavlov

As you close out another epic campaign, do you ever feel the need to "top it" or one-up yourself on the next campaign? As the Marvel movies have shown us, things don't always improve by constantly raising the stakes to a more epic level. Sometimes you just want a compelling story about a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. I was JUST as invested in the trinyvale triplets getting their swamp-bnb as I was to the Thiala fight because you guys make every story you tell meaningful. Thank you all for your hard work.

Ziv like Steve

For Murph: Murph, what inspired you to have Commander Morrigan in Malscurial lean in and bite Callie? It was an brilliant character choice that I, for one, never expected from an such a serious NPC. Can you offer any insight into your creative process?

peace k.

For the 2 Crew: if you had to pick a moment in Campaign 3 to reroll, oppa Nannerfly Effect style, what moment would you pick?

Resido

How do you keep track of the cool things you have as players? I find my PC’s always forget about some of the random legendary loot they have acquired.

Aiyana

how are you all feeling? and what are you guys interested in exploring next (not just in terms of dnd classes/races, but also conceptually and thematically)?

Aiyana

my guess is Murph didn't wanna do a bad job of mimicking Emily's accent since he's never done an English accent as tends not to do ones he feels like he'd butcher

Shelby

My burning c3 question: Did Cooter and Sprilla get divorced??

Resido

Please answer this one!

SpaceAgeStuff

For Murph: did you always intend for Alexandrite to "die" before the end of the campaign, making the final enemies Charbin and Queen Jovyre? Just curious if you had to make any other big pivots in the campaign. Thanks for answering! PS Jake, my mom is a huge fan of the Goat Show and she demands more episodes

Emily Straight

What style of holiday decorating would each member of the Duck Team choose for their dwellings? Traditional, pink and glitter, white Christmas?

favoritebrendan

Murph, why didn't you give Cyra the same accent as Callie?

Kelsie Barker

I adored C3 and the absolutely stellar 🌠 ending you all created together. A chef's kiss and happy hoglidays to you all! For each of your respective characters Calder, Sol, Meave Heypenny and Kenna, In the years and decades after the campaign wraps up what absolutely untrue gossip or folktale would you be be most likely to overhear on the streets of Ezri or read in the peregrine post?

InfamousJ13

My questions are for everyone what was your favorite moment in c3 and who was your favorite non-pc character? Happy hoglidays

Randy

If your characters from C3 were magic the gathering legendary creatures, what would your cards do and what would be the rest of your name after the comma ( Fynn, the fangbearer or krenko, baron of tin street for example)

Kyle Morley

Any live shows on the dmv area planned?

Claire GM

Hi all, I have a bit of a general/life question. I recently turned 25, which I know isn't actually that old, but nevertheless I've still been hurdling straight towards a quarter life crisis. Emily has been talking about how she wouldn't want to go back to any age she's been and that every year gets better and better - could you expand on that? I'd love to hear any wisdom you have to share on growing up. Thank you and Love from Germany <3

Bev Bressette

During the beginning of the campaign, when the duck team was forced to become S-class knights, they were forced to be paralyzed when hearing a phrase. Is this potential weakness still in play, or have they found a way to combat this?

Brayan Martinez

I'll ask this on behalf of my friend Emily: Murph, did anything surprise you? Everyone else can answer too I guess love you

Kyle Morley

For all: any plans for a pathfinder 2e mini campaign I love the system so much and love duncles run

Darkrisky

My question is for Jake In campaign 1, Hardwon took a magic initiate so that he could have Shield. Technically he would have gotten two cantrips as well although he never used them. What did you take? If this was a miss and you never took them, what would you take now that you have more experience playing?

Justina MacNeil

For Emily: it’s been such a gift getting to navigate the messy 20somethings (60somethings?) alongside Callie these past few years! Is there any media or hobbies that helped carry you through the trials of young adulthood?

Sam

If all of Naddpods characters were quangled which combination of characters would form the most chaotic party?

Just Aiden

Callback question for Jake: What type of fighter are you gonna play next time? Real question tho, what classes are everyone looking towards for next session?

Elliott Scheirman

How do you feel about doing a campaign with future tech flavored abilities instead of the standard magic?

Myka Donati

For the crew: What would be some life advice you as a player would tell any of your characters? Which character(s) would you think need to hear it?

Just Aiden

DM's question, when it comes to home brewing characters how can you tell the line between over powered and under powered? Is it just a balance giving and taking or does a little more go behind it?

Corin Aitchison

Which of your characters' stories has hit the closest to home for you? Is there a particular character or event from any of the campaigns that touched a memory from your own life in a special way? Or What did you learn from this campaign, either as a person or a player?

Scout S

Loved the finale! Murph, it was so interesting to see how much Jovyre had changed from C1. She explains a bit of her reasoning as to why her changed her philosophy in the finale, but was any of that change actually because of the Unseelie crown's influence? And/or was she more nefarious back in C1 than we thought, but just good at hiding it?

River

Warhammer has been mentioned before and was curious if with the upcoming shorter arcs if you guys would be willing to do a grim dark setting like Warhammer Fantasy!:3

Oyabun

What was your favourite/most memorable introduction in this/all campaigns?

Chris B

What are your thoughts on a Sol one-shot campaign that explores more of the clones storyline? That was a really cool storyline, and I can only imagine the chaos that would come from Sol + clone Emily + clone Jake putting their giant tongues where they don't belong.

Megan S

How does it affect your chemistry when you guys record all together vs. one or two on zoom vs. all on zoom? Do you think pivotal moments would’ve gone differently if you were in person and the subtle things like quick communicative glances or eating dinner together and scheming on a break as opposed to playing on other sides of the country?

Carter Starkey

Hey there Duck Team (&DM Murph!) Now that you’ve done it a few times, how does it feel to have completed a whole collaborative creative endeavor front to back, start to finish? Is there anything about completing this campaign that feels different than prior ones? P.S Thanks for all the wonderful moments and great comfort you’ve all provided

Laura !

question for brian “murph” murphy and also emily probably. what is the process from recording an episode to putting out an edited episode for the feed? what steps/passes go into the edit? love everything you guys do!! P.S. when you started campaign three i was finishing college but now i am a young laboratory assistant listening while i mail science shit to scientists. makes you think.

Jason Ramirez

Just waiting for the campaign Cake DMs

Brandon Carroll

Murph- you really took your encounter-building to the next level in campaign three. Outside of the finale, which encounter are you most proud of, especially in terms of the mechanics that you invented or tweaked?

Ryan Steel

Who is replacing Jack in campaign 4?

Cristian

In the current season of critical role the players are all controlling multiple characters they’ve played at once for plot reasons. Do you think that the 2 crew would do something similar in the future or would that all be too chaotic?

Johnathan

A question for Murph, Hi started listening in February and caught up just in time to listen to the last 3 episodes as they came out, I’m a new Dm and have so many questions about story building. Would you ever consider running a DM tutoring show on off weeks? Ps Emily I want you to know that I can’t imagine character faces and so every one of your characters look like princess bean from disenchantment

Rhiannon Williams

For everyone: What kind of holidays do they celebrate where your C3 character comes from?

Drunkenbubble

Have you guys seen the hidden levels packman episode? (Youtube for reference if you have not) https://youtu.be/FoODWgs4-08?si=F2qV8g6WEHTgsqRp

Matthew

For everyone: What was your favorite battle/battle mechanic?

Jenna H

What did Kenna's (my favorite c3 NPC) reconciliation with her father look like? Also thank you for dirtbag shithead Gregor, my favorite category of Murph character (Cody Walsh, Pendergreens, Mac, etc)

Tiffany C

Hot Boy Hogliday special when?

Aurora

For everyone: do you have any planned characters/ideas you are sitting on for the right time/setting? Or a character that you build as a backup that you hold dearly?

JC

Do you think we will get to see the Triplets or Frankie and his Doglings sometime soon? I'm dying for some more toxicity and more random pop culture crossovers from Trinyvale as well as seeing Mavid return and seeing what more cool stories Emily has cooked up in Twilight Sanctorum

Paul Smith

Could I get a behind the scenes breakdown of podcast duties? I know Murph edits the main campaign episodes, but there's so much that goes into the podcast from both a technical and business perspective, can I get a roll credits?

Eric Nodtvedt

Are there any classes that you think work great in something short like a one-shot, but you wouldn't want to play over a full length campaign?

Erling

Is there any chance of us getting a bagging it with balnor featuring the duck team?

Tom Werner

The first two campaigns featured guests who came on and played important roles throughout the campaigns (Zac, Brennan, Lou, Adam, and the like). In campaign 3, there were no guest performers. Was that a conscious decision or a trick of timing/availability? Will there be more guest performers in future campaigns?

Max Riley

For the whole crew: Of all the new NPCs and settings introduced in Bahumia in C3, who and/or where would you most like to revisit and explore further in a future campaign?

Forg

General Question: what is the biggest dnd party you have ever dm’ed for or been a part of? Follow up question: How big would you be willing to go? At what point would it stop being D&D and start being just a hangout.

Dani Sharkey

Would love to know everyone's new years resolutions!

Megan S

For Caldwell: Design wise, who has been your favorite character to draw? Who can you see most clearly in your head? Or a favorite moment you’ve wanted to (or have) put in ink?

Timmy P.

Question for Jake. Have you considered playing a full spellcaster in the future? If so, what class/subclass would you play?

Nick Nelson

Are there any non-fantasy TTRPG systems that y’all would want to try??

Mak

Emily- how was the music production similar/different in this campaign vs C1 being in the same world but different timelines? (story wise and in your personal timeline)

D Cord

Also, would everyone play a subclass of fighter, à la Cake Hurtbiz, or some other class for the Prawn Knight campaign that I desperately need to have happen

preppy_prince

Were there any PCs or NPCs considered for C3 that didn’t make the cut you’d like to incorporate in a future campaign?

Hanna Dahl

what’s up gamers!! wondering if there was a specific song/playlist/vibe that you would listen to or think about to help you get into character or reflect on their motivations ?

KingHalt

Question for the whole crew, if Cake has already been kicked off the show then he doesn't get an answer I guess. Which has been your personal favorite campaign ending between 1, 2, and 3?

Li I

So what are the lyrics to Hardwon the giant layer?

Tralan

You guys made me cry in my cubicle!

Connor Carper

@Jake; There is the running joke of “which fighter will Jake play next”, but have you considered playing a Pugilist? It isnt an ‘official’ DnD class, but it is very well balanced, has an incredibly versatile flavor pool, and is quite possibly my favorite class to play.

D Cord

As a person who loves underwater stuff, what was everyone’s Roses, Thorns, Buds, etc of Sunaire (apologies for the misspelling) and the whole underwater section?

Miranda the Dungeon Court Stenographer

Question for all of you: what was your favorite small moment in C3, not one of those big memorable ones, the small things that folks might not remember. Thank you for another wonderful campaign. 😊

Matt Hartt

Murph: I recall before C3 started you mentioned that you had considered naming the company Alancorp (maybe Alan Tech) before settling on Mother ship. Was it your original plan to have Alanis involved in C3 in some way?

brennan dahl

With the ending of campaign 3, what has been the most satisfying ending for your characters? (Beverly, Saul, etc)

Snackonomics

Thank you for another great campaign! What was your favorite npc of the season? And which one should've really been replaced with the Grinch?

Kresh

Jakey: Do you think your gritty granary-focused campaign will be kicking off soon, if not, will you end up guesting on 8BBC, I think you’d kill it.

Alex Gibson

For Morph - At the start of C3, who did you have in mind to be the BBEG? It seems like you had planned on it being alexandrite, though due to players notoriously messing up your plot, it changed.

Carly Collette

Jake, do you think Hardwon will tell the truth about his time with C3 to the Boobs, or does he embellish, old school Hardwon style? So loved the finale, all, and look forward to the future!!

sarah may

favourite overall campaign moment? we've had so many big moments, a personal favourite being mavrus and the sticky hands, but does the crew have any favourite silly moments from any campaigns?

elina

Murph, what was the story with the traitors in the old folks circle? Was Glen using them or were they using him?

Jeriecho Noriega

For our favorite Dungeon Docent, do you have anything cooking with Twilight Sanctorum? I absolutely loved this campaign and you’re an amazing DM. I’m really looking forward to seeing more with this world.

Callie

Not a dnd question, just curious as to what Emily has been reading recently

Lexi loves the 2 crew!

What was your favorite PC-NPC relationship from this campaign? (I’m partial to Calder/Albin). Also, do you have plans to release an album of C3 music? You’ve got some naddpole music fans that would be overjoyed!

Li I

Was Paetina Glenbottle a tight grandma because she was a clone or was it just Pilates?

Vonvonvon

Have you ever considered doing a campaign where you play as monsters?

Megan S

How much content typically gets cut out of an episode? Is the cut content usually just dicking around, accidental verbal slip ups, and/or bathroom breaks, or have there been potential future effecting moments slashed for the sake of good podcasting?

Stephanie R.

Murph! Now that you’ve done Bahumia in the future, do you think you’d consider doing a campaign in the far past of Bahumia, as in before the times of the Thiala, Alanis, and Ulfgar?

Carly Collette

With the introduction of “Kenna’s Krew” (I’ll hold for your applause), who are some people you would all like to see in potential future team ups?

Aaron Thompson

Emily, you have some pretty spicy PC's from Tarragon to Cinnamon. Are there more aromatic adventurers in your future? Any other additions to the spice cabinet of characters you've been thinking about? Obsessed with your Esmer the Wise Cinnamon is an expensive spice!!

Takowowo

Hey gang, c3 saw some very cool, very fun battle mechanics which made for awesome cinematic scenes. Any favorites? Any mechanics that were left on the cutting room floor?

sunwurm

a question for the illustrious brian murphy; please explain who gildry kindleaf is and how a kindleaf in general ended up in the feywild! the people (me, huge kindleaf siblings fan) are literally dying to know.

Kresh

Everyone: Do you regret the D.S. ?

Nitzan Harel

Question for everyone: At what point do you think you will make another long-form campaign? At least (roughly) C2 length.

Parker Jeffery

Loved the finale, but was a little disappointed that the Grinch never came into play. Does this just mean the Grinch will be in C4?

Shane C

Murph: early in the campaign it seemed you were looking at doing rotating DM PCs until Kenna arrived. Was there anything behind that decision or was it just because Kenna was a fun character to play? For everyone: how would your character react if they saw someone in a realistic Grinch costume or, hell, the real Grinch themself.

Totally Offside

Question for Murph: Were there any C3 NPCs you wished you could have spent more time with? If so, would you consider featuring them in a shorter form campaign?

McKenzie Warriner

Congrats on wrapping up another incredible campaign - I've been listening since early 2019! With the huge explosion over the past few years of the popularity of rpg content, what do you see as your niche in the space, and going forward how do you want to keep evolving?

fettyalph

hey team, longtime listener first time caller. Not a question, but a compliment. Emily: the twinkling lights of galaderon makes me cry every time i hear it, and hearing it in the finale was no different. keep up the good work champ

Jorgus

band of boobs, third mates, duck team, who would come out on top in a fight. for a bonus include the triplets, hot boy summer, and the Vantasmos

ABigdude

Murph! Would love to see you run a Warhammer or Warhammer 40K type campaign! Would you guys try that out given your move to shorter form campaigns and testing different rulesets/ systems?

TwoPuppetsTTV

What’s the smallest thing you’ve ever seen

Matt Gustavson

Will we ever see the astral war?

skullswampy

hi two crew! what did the process for building these characters look like? what inspired you, and/or what drew you to the flavors and classes/subclasses that you picked?

Dale Jefferson

Are we going to see more of Cinnamon and his sons soon? That pathfinder two shot was amazing. Same question for Twilight Sanctorum! Thanks for making this a happier holiday for all <3

Professor Hen

Hey John - what’s the next fighter subclass you’re looking at?

CJ Wallace

Y'all have been talking about running shorter campaigns in the future how might this effect playstyles/DMing? Would more serious consequences such as PC death or imprisonment be on the line and how does everyone feel about this?

Megan S

What liquid base is the best to make hot chocolate with?

Guy Brill

Don’t they hear her voice when she turns off the lights in the Dragon Elf conference thing?

Xanian Jamfalcon

Murph has done some incredible homebrewing to keep the poles lubed this campaign, what's everyone's favorite Murph-brew?

Josiah Lashbrook

Question for the two crew. How did it feel taking down Queen Jovyr when the Band of Boobs put her in power?

Albert Snipz, Family Counselor @Mangia's Ristorante

Hey everyone, if you were Santa, what kind of creatures or beings would you want pulling the sleigh?

Lauren Davis

For Murph - when during your planning did you decide Jovyre would be the BBEG? It was really cool to see her personality progression from C1 to C3!

jennos

What system are y'all gonna use for the next campaign? I know everyone was very excited about Pathfinder during that one-shot.

iamnotjackblack

Question for Murph: I know you just spent countless hours writing and editing the end of C3 but we all wanna know, how is the Grinch campaign coming along?

Olaf Dies in Frozen 2

Nothing to ask but just to say thanks for being funny for so long. I've always enjoyed the goofs, the drama, the crunch and the stories that y'all create. Happy Hoglidays 💜

Nitzan Harel

Question for Mister Murph: when did you know the campaign was going to end in the fey wild? Was it planned from the start?

Guy Brill

Yugo or the Grinch, who’s better at ruining the holiday season?

Jeffrey Hayes

If you had to replace a single character with the grinch in campaign 3, who would you choose?

Carly Collette

Loved the finale, crew! Are there any threads any of you wish had been followed further/tied up differently? For Murph, you foresee a possibility of such threads coming up in future mini campaigns?

Megan S

Will we see more of C1, C2, or C3 characters return in future campaigns like we have in C3?

Lady Nishi

Question for Jake: based on playing dnd and understanding how it work would you be willing to run or own campaign for the team or maybe have the help of an amazing DM be your co DM? I want to know if you have an ideas already brewing ? Love you all, thank you personally for getting me through so many years from pre pandemic onwards you guys are very important to me! Cheers to the new year and be safe and enjoy your time

Dozer

Q for Jake would you consider doing one shot as dm for the group. Since you guys consider xploring shorter campagins for other table roleplaying games.

Codey Borges

Question for the whole crew! You've talked about doing shorter form and maybe different systems, will the adventures of Duck Team always be kept within DnD, or do you expect to be using wildly different systems to tell different duck team stories? I love these characters and would be so happy to see them become the main crew for exploring other types of campaigns.

Kay

C3 was set about 200 years after C1, which is conveniently the limit for True Resurrection. Murph, was there any temptation to use this spell and bring back someone from C1?

Xavior

If you could play an episode or campaign as someone else's character who would you pick and why?.

Connor Pryor

Question for everyone! If you were to put your characters from campaign 3, eldermourne, and C1 in a room to all fight each other, which characters would win? Assuming they are all at the same level! Love the show. Been binging DnD court and I may have a case for our honorable justices for whenever the next one comes live!

Xavier

For Emily Grinchford: How many spells are you planning to get for the next season?

han!!

what’s everyone’s favorite song from this campaign (instrumental or otherwise)! (p.s. did you know the average number of songs played in an episode of this campaign is double c1, almost exactly! 20 to 10! and eldermourne was halfway between them (15))

Bgn87

For the whole crew! What is your personal favorite moment from C3?

Jarod Kostick

How do you keep the energy up so high throughout the whole campaign? Do you ever feel like you want to roll new characters and do a new quest mid campaign?

ROMCOM

For each to answer, what’s one character someone else in the group played that you would have loved to have a crack at playing?

Jack Malizia

What do all the characters have for brunch the day after the battle. Haven’t finished episode hopefully not a TPK or they’ll be eating dirt.

Shel B Kennas 1st fav sprite girl! Thx to the 2 crew for a gorgeous c3. Now Kenna, go get yer girl

With Caldwell being on paternity leave earlier than anticipated and returning to help close out c3 they were on tight time tables so not to over work him while he was on leave, I’m sure this was a big factor. In case they didn’t answer I figured I’d provide context

Ben Herman

Are you guys going to have more guests on during the short campaigns coming up?

Eva

will we ever return to bahumia or eldormourne for a main campaign or will you be introducing new worlds in future campaigns?

Declane Gilhooley

Kellyd

How does it feel when y'all end a campaign? Like the end of a semester where you can relax and look forward to a fresh slate? Itching to get back? A third secret thing?

han!!

q for emily! what’s the name of the lullabye from the finale! it’s beautiful… and is that the winter’s mantle lullabye you’ve mentioned on occasion? or was it new!
