Jonathan Smith

Listening to this in 2025, and I'm currently training for a marathon on a whim, and hearing Murph's story made me laugh so hard. I've listened to NADDPOD for sure while beating feet.

Lilli of the bog

I agree with Emily

Ben Wilcox

Please come to Buffalo :(

Apple Slapple

I'll never understand the optimized vs interesting character/roleplay. Those are not exclusive of each other in any way. Just because you're character is meant to do oodles of damage doesnt mean you can't have meaningful roleplay outside of combat.

I'm too fat to run, but I do walk to the podcast!

I absolutely run to this podcast! My second half-marathon was done to the fire elemental challenge in bahumia! I remember laughing incredibly hard at Beverly getting blinded for so long 😂

Genaro Morales

Should've been Burglar-nor 😂

Austin Clark

I would have the spell druidcraft since it makes seeds bloom I would open a dispensary

NursingWounds

I listen to the podcast while running at work - I work in a hospital as a CNA and Nursing Student

Serenity4Jane

Oh wow congratulations! I'd been expecting a tpk because of the oops / ep 2.0 all new character title coming up, this is so much better

Im in buffalo and I would love to see a show of your guys!!!!

katytron

belated congratulations to caldwell and suze!! also, in 2019 i started the “none to run” interval program where i’d alternate walking and running. at first it was a huge struggle to slowly jog for even 30 seconds, and i listened to naddpod to keep myself entertained. i distinctly remember listening to the first bullywog encounter while doing laps of a local park with water views. by the time i was able to run continuously for 25 minutes, i was near the end of the campaign and loved listening to the adventures of the BoBs while i exercised. i got out of the running habit all of last year but i do hope to pick it back up!

Chris Frampton

Get your asses to Buffalo!!! You'd sell out immediately!

Stephanie F

I am so late to reply to this, but to answer your question Emily, I listen to you guys while I run!! The Band of Boobs actually got me through my half marathon, and the Choo Choo Crew will be with me during my marathon training and race!!

Mad Dungeon Mama

Dude. 100% as a mom I would die for create food and water!

Victoria Shotts

I live in MI and would 1000% go to a show in Buffalo!!

Jacob Dewald

I started listening to the podcast while training for a 5k last year, it helps having something going. Go Bills!

Yes Warlock Barbarian!!! one of my players is the same and its fantastic!!

Darth_Xionn

Please come to Buffalo! I live here and I'd love nothing more.

Anthony Felton

CONGRATULATIONS CALDWELL AND SUZE! You have just embarked on the most magical and draining, beautiful and scary, frustrating and rewarding experience of your life. My two kids are the best characters I’ve every made. They are the centre of my world and, along with my wife, the loves of my life. You will make a great Dad Caldwell. Your creativity will inspire their imagination and let them fly. And with aunts and uncles like Emily, Brian and Jake, their life will begin with laughter (and the laughter of a child is THE best sound in the world.

emicakes

NADDPOD is my go-to when I run ❤️ And I am absolutely laughing and smiling during them!

Just listened after the holidays! Congratulations to Suze and Caldwell. So exciting!

Erin Elizabeth

I’m from Rochester, we live in Seattle, and I will fly to Buffalo for this show.

Cady Speelman

I'm more of a chores-and-podcast kind of person. No idea how people could run and laugh with this show at the same time, but power to them. When yall return to live shows you should come to Denver, please, quit jumping over the midwest! Just got my fiancé into the first campaign and am loving listening to it all over again ❤ Thanks for the fantastic content

Julie V Eckert

YES! Please go to Buffalo, NY! That's so close to me!!! It's a tough life living in Upstate NY when all the shows only go to NYC, I would absolutely drive to Buffalo💕 Also, congratulations Caldwell and wife and welcome to their new baby!

Michaela

If the border opens and it's safe I'd come to Buffalo from Toronto!

Nick Andrusin

I would be down for Buffalo!!

Thomas Rose

Late to the party but congrats to Sue and Caldwell! :D

ursa

i hope i never see a vorpal sword in dnd again. my first dnd character got beheaded by a vorpal sword, during a combat where her whole party let her down. she was the only one with truesight and everyone ignored her while an invisible trickster hit her with a vorpal sword and to this day i fear that item.

Orpheus

In response to the running question. When I tried running last spring I was definitely listening to short rests

Julia Austin

Didn’t take NADDPOD running but I did take them to the mountain! I was listening to the donkey Kong one shot when I was skiing! Not the same as running, but thought it was a fun mention.

Definitely listen to this whilst running!

I'm an Albany runner and I would for sure drive my friend and myself hte 6 hours to see your show!

I hate running, but run about 10mi/week for my dog's sake – frequently listen to NADDPOD while pounding the pavement!

Tyler

Congrats to Caldwell!!! As for Buffalo, I'd go for a trip upstate for a show!! It'd be so much fun!

Nick Powell

I'll gladly fly from Chicago to Buffalo for a show, GO BILLS

Benwahah

I cant believe jake pulled a ted Mosby by recreating a party

i listened to probably 8 episodes of the podcast while running my first 100 mile race last year :)

I dont really listen to anything when I run, but I do listen to you when I bike. Did my first 100 mile ride to hot boy summer.

Katie Watkins

I was listening to the show while training for my first 5k! Thanks you guys for giving great training entertainment.

Rob Hawkey

I was listening to this episode while running! Since working from home running is now my primary time to listen to podcasts.

You have to come to Buffalo!!! I would be there for sure :-)

Mike Cathcart

I would totally go to a Buffalo liveshow from Syracuse!

Emily E Morris

Beverley Toegold VI!!!

tyalaman

Wow given this news it kinda gives new meaning to "until we meet again" last episode's title. It is also to Caldwell and meta-wise to the third mates. For now.

Dmkampz

Come to Cleveland!

Dmkampz

I’d drive from Ohio to buffalo!

Bills are winning tonight!!! We will see the 2 crew there!

Thomas Sullivan

Huge congrats to Caldwell! Can’t wait to see how he plays zirk when they both only get 4 hours of sleep! Best of luck! (PS the Bills are gonna choke, Pats nation baby!)

Absolutely come to Buffalo!

Leah Stigale

I think Jake should try Sword Bard for full caster. There is a lot of fun stuff they can do and a lot of it is very Melee.

Marisa

huge if true

BuckyBoy

I’m not a runner, but I listen to this podcast while I do cardio for sure!

Amanda Hellas

PLEASE GO TO BUFFALO! I’d come from Canada!

PLEASE COME TO BUFFALO IM BEGGING YOU

Craig Fitzpatrick

I listen to this podcast while running. It actually really helped me out when I got started. I loved the show and made a rule that I could only listen to it while running which motivated me to keep doing it each day and to run longer so I could listen to more. I ended up losing about 20kgs (44lbs) in the time it took to listen to all of campaign one + short rests. Thank you guys for the entertainment and unintentional motivation, I'm the happiest and healthiest I've ever been.

Jack Lenox

I really love that Emily brought up running to this podcast. I listen to your show on pretty much all my long runs. Listening to the show helped me develop healthy routines because I go for a long bike ride whenever new episodes come up. Laughing along with you all helps me ignore how much my legs hurt

Raechel Crosby

Yea come to buffalo!!! Lots of fans in Rochester, NY would make that short drive!

Little one

Aww welcome to the world baby tanner. I became a first time Aunty on the 10th. Little frog was so keen to see the world he arrived 10 weeks early! Enjoy all of those beautiful first moments! What a wonderful forever Christmas present.

Brad Donaldson

I'm sorry Suze, I am officially putting in my vote for Beverlin :)

Sarah Sullivan

I listen to NADPOD while exercising because it is the best distraction from the pain 😂. CONGRATS DUNKLE!!

Peter Mundell

I heard a rumour (started by me) that the baby will be the guest on the side quest. Confirm/deny?

Eeeeek a huge congrats to Caldwell 😍😍

Michael Lawton

Oh My God!!!!!!! Congrats Caldwell and Suze and baby Toegold VI!!!

Taylor Nagy

So happy for Caudwell and Suze congrats!!!

Sarah

Wow congrats to Caldwell!!!

Story about running and listening to NADDPOD: last year I was all by myself for thanksgiving and decided to run 10 miles. The episode that came out that day was the first DK one shot so I listened to that while I ran 10 miles on thanksgiving to not feel as alone❤️

I’m straight up going to Buffalo if you do a live show there (I live in Austin lol)

Scott

Hoping for Lou here as well, but there's a lot of fun fits. Also I listen to nothing but 8bit Bookclub on my runs.

Joe K

I hope the guest is Lou. Also, I primarily listen to NADDPOD while I work out. It’s one of the few ways I motivate myself to exercise

Mackenzie Fresquez

I don’t run but I did listen to NADDPOD a lot while hiking the Colorado Trail this summer!

Tasha Quiett

Yoooo my grandmother lives in Buffalo! If you do a show there I would totally fly to see y'all

SoupLightning

Emily you never told us what move you made on Murph. Jake told his story. We want to hear your story!! Also I think Kugrash shares a lot of qualities with Murph. He doesn't want anyone to feel left, he takes care of his friends, and he's king of the rats which, without personally knowing Murph, i get the sense he totally owns or would like to own a pet rat.... Or maybe not 😆

Only if you pair it with an Every Time I Die Buffalo show

Mikey Malikowski

I know at least 10 people I could bring to a Buffalo show!

I Love Not Finishing My Sentences

Buffalo is easier for us Canadians!

Sean M

Emily, I listen to Naddpod when I run and it’s great! Y’all keep me company, but sometimes I have to stop cuz I’m laughing so hard.

NemoKeine

Just wanted to share a general "you guys are awesome" for all you have done with NADDPOD. You're all so very creative and talented, thank you for creating such fascinating worlds and characters and then sharing them with all of us. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Listen to the pod while at the gym all the time! Gymspiration!

Yo! I listened to early NADDPOD while I was training for a half marathon! In fact, I think I found the podcast while I was running. Thank you guys! 👍🙏

Argonautica

If I'm not just getting a ring of three wishes then I'd say a Headband of Intellect for an uncommon item I'd actually want. Thinking about, say Str, a fucking brown bear has a 19 Str. So imagine what a 19 Int is supposed to be like. And for spells, things like plant growth or any speak with dead/plants/animals are pretty wild. Or the actual application of knowing divination could also be crazy. Depending on what a disease is in magical parlence, lesser restoration is a good choice.

Yes! Please go to Buffalo, I go to school in upstate NY and I would love to see you guys in person again (Pittsburgh was amazing)

Ryan Vaughn

To answer Emily’s question of if we run while we listen, I don’t run but I always listen while I do yard work and while I have been renovating my house during the pandemic. I now have positive associations with doing yard work and house work!

Schon, the Shadetree Mechanic of Zebuldar

Glad to know I'm not the only person in the slowest running group!

keysi ellle

grats dad-cle caldwell!

TubaGinger

I’m a tuba player for the US Army, and I listen to the show when I run. I’m by far the slowest runner in my squad, so on our run days I wait until I get left in the dust and then let y’all or the Dungeons and Daddies crew keep me company. ❤️

Gianni Pappas

I couldn’t run last year, and I started running and listening so great

I’m from Central New York, I’ll drive up to Buffalo for a show lol.

As someone who lives near Buffalo, I’ll be there for the live show. Contacts Caldwell!

Congrats Dadwell!!!

Lisquander

Anyone here have a Pendleton jacket ? Now THATS a jacket that’ll get you hired !!

Mike

Congrats Caldy and Suze!!! And a couple of NADDPOLES swimming around in the Finger Lakes of Western NY would love a Buffalo show!!

Was listening to this while running lol i listened to all of bahumia while training for a 10k :p

Omg! Congrats Caldwell!!!!! That's so exciting!!!

Congrats Caldwell! Can't wait to hear more about lil Binky Fiasco Tanner!

AJ

CALOOH CALLAY FOR THE NEW BORN GREEN KNIGHT. CONGRATS DUNCLE AND SUZE

Erin Paxson

Hooray for Caldwell and Suze!!!!!!

Jennifer Maull

Awww, congrats Caldwell!!!!!!! ❤️

Connor savage

I absolutely listen to you guys in the gym btw my wife will listen to her heavy metal and the alternative rock and I’ll just be laughing while I’m tryin to bench 😂

Side note: Syracuse NY here. Would come to that buffalo show :)

Bukvar's Assistant Isy F

Congratulations Caldwell and Suze!

Confirmed. I listen to these on my long run days lol

Keanu DRAMAFACE

Can’t believe none of them wanted cure wounds as their spell lol

Pugachu 123

Congrats Caldwell!!!! You will be a great dad!!!

Oh my God!!! I gasped out loud and covered my mouth when you announced Caldwell!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh

Emily C

I run while listening all the time! I literally listened to an episode of naddpod while running my virtual marathon this year, it was a great distraction.

Nolan Childerhose

I could make it to Buffalo! 4 hours from my home in Ontario, Canada!

I only let myself listen to naddpod while running! 13 weeks into a marathon plan and 30 episodes under my belt now 🏃🏻‍♀️

Just Some Guy

Lou Wilson!

OMG CONGRATS!!! That's so great

Brooooooo please let breannan be the new guest he was so good last time

Whitney Peterson

OBVIOUSLY VONGRATS TO THE NEW PARENTS SUZ AND CALDWELL!! I NEVER IMAGINED THIS SURPRISE AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I 💯% run listening to Naddpod. It makes it so much more interesting and enjoyable. Thanks so much all of your for the excellent content. Love you all so much. Happy holidays 💗

Jenna

CONGRATS TO SUZE & CALDWELL!!!!!

tacticalgrandma

As someone who's played a dual-wielding gloom stalker, your dm LOVES you for giving you a moon sickle. Also worth noting that the question asker seems to be p into optimizing- the DM might think they'd want something so tailor-made to their class, instead of a potentially hit-or-miss homebrew

I went to school in Pittsburgh and had family in Buffalo - can confirm it is a VERY easy drive between the two, so if you did a show in Buffalo, the Yinzers would VERY easily be able to attend!! (I would also be willing to travel from NYC for a once-in-a-lifetime Buffalo show) Also, congrats to Caldwell on being a father! Will miss him but excited for this next arc!

CONGRATS CALDWELL AND SUZE !!!!

Rachel Schapiro

I have never listened while running (I have weak knees as well Emily) but have on the elliptical and sometimes while boxing

Miriam

Congratulations Caldwell! Merry Christmas to your newly expanded family! X

I'm way too fat to be a runner, but I do listen to the podcast while riding on my smart trainer in Zwift! Ride on!

I listen to you guys when I'm lifting at the gym/home! I channel my inner Hardwon when I hit new PRs!

Ian Phippen

I JUST moved away from Buffalo but I'll plan a visit back to coincide with a naddpod Buffalo show. I also have friends who run some interesting small to medium venue options there so if it comes together - I would gladly help put together a location!

Rachel Schapiro

That’s incredible congrats to Caldwell and Suze!!

Stephanie Kocsik

I listen when I run! It’s so funny thank god for the face mask so people don’t see my stupid facial expressions when listening. And my husband listens on long trail runs!

Riley M

I heard Emily ask if anyone listened to this while running while I was mountain biking. Definitely the best way to make uphill climbs less grueling.

Brother Lagniappe

Listening to this podcast in my Patagonia Nano-Air... It's a nice jacket

Brandon Wiens

Listen. I would ford the freakin Niagara River, to come to a Buffalo show.

Stephen Lee

Re: running, this was the first year I tried running and NADDPod was what kept my mind off the pain of my frail indoor kid body. Full disclosure though I stopped running when I burned thru the NADDpod back catalog LOLOL

Alkasmeltzerplus

Congratulations Daduncle Caldwell and Suze! 💜

Chelsea L (0ffbeatt)

Caldwell congratulations your upgrade from Duncle to dad! You are Suze are going to be such amazing and fun parents. Also I'd love if you guys went to Buffalo, I'm Canadian so it would be so awesome to get a chance to see you guys live. (After the pandemic obvy 😁)

Joe Pow

I'll definitely come to a Buffalo show if y'all ever make it out here. And congrats Caldwell!

Dante Roush

Congrats to Caldwell!!! And to answer Emily's question, NADDPOD was the biggest part of why I was able to keep convincing myself to run and finish a half marathon.

Amber

Congratulations Caldwell!! A very merry Christmas to you, Suze, and the little one! Truly, after having so many dads, it was time for you to level up into one as well!

Abby G

oh my goodness congrats duncle caldwell!!!!!!!!! much love to you and suz!!!!

Tomliginyu

Need you guys to pick new criteria for that show. Browns hopeful here. #LakeErieBros

Pockets4Snacks

I listen to 8-but book club while I run with my dog

Honestly, HUGE bouquet of roses to the way Caldwell and Suze became parents on this 'sode. A truly compelling twist and I wish them nothing but joyful goofs and fulfilling moments with this new baby PC

Emma Horton

Definitely in the naddpod trail running crew! We have also done some pretty creepy night hikes that have required blasting naddpod on speakerphone as a way to maintain morale. So much congrats for Caldwell and Suze!!!!

Myka Donati

Caldwell and Suze rolled 2 nat 20s on advantage to break my tear ducts, they won't stop flowing! Congrats the both of you!

Maggie Schaller

Adding my congrats to Caldwell and Suze! Now the critical question-when will there be NADDPod onesies for babies (and/or Murph and Emily’s cats) in the merch store? 👀👀👀

Gobstoppable Goose

Happy Holidays yall and congrats to Duncle and Suze on their sweet little bundle of joy!! May the new year bring more love and wonder to all your lives! <3

Jeff Davis

Congrats Duncle Caldwell!

Emily Kelly

omg congrats caldwell and suze?!!!!

Not Another D&D Podcast

Thanks so much for all the warm wishes! I love you all! Way less than I love this baby obviously, but still quite a lot! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! ~Caldwell

Debra Wasson

Congratulations papa-duncle Caldwell on becoming a father!!!! Congrats to you and Suze enjoy your first holiday season with the littlest one

Prince.3ric

I screamed, Caldwell is going to be such a great chaotic dad.

stoppingby1224

Congrats to caldwell and suze!! Also yes I did listen to naddpod while training for the half marathon i did in November! But unfortunately I was not in buffalo. :(

Evan O'Neal

AMAZING! CONGRATS ON THE BONKBY CALDWELL!

Diana

Huge congrats to Caldwell and Suze!! How exciting for them!

Marley McDonough

I saved up episodes to listen to when I ran the Philly marathon. Best inspiration!

Congrats Caldwell and Suze!!! Also, Murph being self critical about Galaderon doesn't sit right with me. Too hard on himself! I'm on my third run through of Bahumia, and Galaderon is the arc where I really felt like what D&D storytelling could be became apparent to me. When Bev's dad gets arrested my jaw still drops. Everybody loves a good conspiracy!

Becca_rebaker

Congratulations Suze and Caldwell! What a lucky babe to have so many great people in their life already!!

ocean johnston

Congrats Caldwell! You’re going to be an amazing dad! ❤️❤️

Frank

Congrats to Caldwell and Suze !! So cute, amazing

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

I'm ready to "shuffle off to Buffalo"!

A level 4 battle royale would be an excellent mixed bag.

Robin

Congrats Caldwell and Suze!! I was about to make the Dunkle to Daddy joke but then you guys did it immediately.

Congrats to Caldwell and Suze!Also please come to Buffalo, it’s a more accessible for a lot of people in NY and surrounding states than NYC!

Jacob Tingle

Congrats Caldwell!!!! That's amazing! So I listened to the podcast first thing this morning. Anyone else have graduation day to the theme of Jurassic park stuck in their head on repeat?

Zane P Moses

NADDPOD was basically my anthem while training for my first Half Marathon

Elizabeth

Congratulations Caldwell!! Thanks for answering my question xx

Vie.

It was specifically mentioned that at least three monkeys bent the knee to theala. Check your scroll murph

Allison Weninger

CONGRATULATIONS CALDWELL AND SUZE! (and excited to meet the guest and new characters!)

Julia V

This is almost the same message I was going to send! Had my firstborn in March, pandemic parenting is a special kind of parenting and experience. Aaaand I also sing “One Big Bed” to my son haha. Congrats Caldwell and Suze! You will be amazing parents. Your fellow Naddpole parents are here for support if you need it!

Kevin Hughes

I listen to NADDPOD while I bike! (don't yell at me I use bone conduction headphones so I'm not blocking myself out from the rest of the world)

K

I listen to your podcast on my hikes every day!! Sometimes I trail run lol

Michael Mueller

I listen to NADDPOD all the time when running! Especially long runs. I’m also from Buffalo but run in Queens, so close!

ShezInJapan

Congrats to Caldwell! Also, I know yall are talking about Buffalo and other American cities, but I'm moving to Japan next year, so maybe Tokyo or Sendai in 2022 please and thank you? 👀

Canadian here, please go to Buffalo! It's so close to the border and would even be super cheap for any Canadians to fly there if they're too far to drive.

Julia V

Please come to Buffalo! Summer and fall are magical here, the city has a ton to offer, and it looks like there are more NADDPOD fans around than I knew of. Give us all a reason to get together and have a rip roaring time!

William Corley

I don't run but I walk 7 miles a day. Y'alls podcast really helps.

Daniel Green

Congrats to the new parents! Caldanna? Suzwell? Jokes aside, praying for you guys and your sleepless night to come. It is hard work, but there absolutely is nothing like it in the world! Enjoy every minute. It goes by way too fast.

John

ALSO CONGRATS CALDWELL & FAM!!

John

I'm a pretty avid cyclist, training/racing 10-20 hours a week, depending on the time of year - your podcast keeps me company on the trails and (more importantly) on the trainer, when the dark winter months force me to stare at a wall while riding indoors for 2+ hours at a time. Thank you so much for your beautiful, creative, hilarious work!!!

Grace B

CONGRATS CALDWELL!! So excited for you and your awesome wife. Have an amazing holiday season and I hope you enjoy your paternity leave!

Mattie Honda

BLESSED BE TO SMALLDWELL, CHILD OF SUZE AND CALDWELL

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Congrats Suze and Caldwell! Name suggestions: Maximus, Winter

Dylan Petty

I run around Downtown Dallas while listening to the podcast! I use the time to explore parts of the city I’ve never seen while listening.

Polly Ennis-Theobald

I run through a place called Axford in the West Country (UK) and actually listened to the finale of Hot Boy Summer on my first run to it!!

Eagledink

Seriously love NADDPOD. Gets me through the weeks.

Scott M

I can personally guarantee the presence of myself and at least 4 other people at a Buffalo show, and I can personally guarantee that you will have a lot of fun here, but I cannot personally guarantee that it will be profitable. This is the Buffalo dilemma.

Bob Roland

Congrat to Cardwell. As for Buffalo, my city has more to it than you might think. Home of Rick James, so you know we get funky. Plus we drink heavily and dive through tables while donating to charity. You'll love it.

Rachel

oh my god congrats to the REAL daddy dm!!

Lol I'm in Detroit and I was hoping they'd go to Windsor soon so I can make the drive up there 🙈

Murphy's secondhand embarrassment just forced me to get up and try running again haha

Paul Smith

Retrieval Team 22 has a little cousin!!

That would be a great mixed bag!!! "Stories by the stump, read by old cobb"

Yayy daddy! If we want to hypothetically send cute baby naddppod things to caldwell via the po box will be still be able to get it? 😬🥰🗡️🤺👶🛡️

Popeye’s Forearms

Congrats Caldwell! My wife and I had our firstborn in April. Pandemic adds a unique challenge to parenthood, but we’re sure you’ll be great parents and that baby will have the most epic bedtime stories! We sing the chorus of “One Big Bed” to soothe our baby, get that NADDPOD exposure early! I hope the guest is Gabrus. They’ve talked about having him on before. Regardless, looking forward to finding out!

meaghan sheridan

Daddy duncle!!! Congratulations!!!

Michael Singer

every high school is legally obligated to play the Jurassic park theme at every school gathering

Mini-arc with new character? OPPA 2-GO STYLE: THE RETURN OF YUGO

Congrats to Caldwell and Suze!!!! Also I love listening to naddpod while running, ESPECIALLY trinyvale

Emily - if you keep losing your phone buy a Tile and put it on your phone it will save you so much time when you lose your phone.

Emily Lalande

CONGRATULATIONS CALDWELL AND SUZE!! ❤️❤️❤️

Franny McCabe-Bennett

Dave 3D Art

Congrats to Caldwell, and Zinkie the Zard.

Caitlyn Dill

Congratulations Caldwell! Incredible! If the closest you guys get to Columbus, OH is Buffalo I'll make it work!

Pensulliwen

Congratulations to daddy Caldwell! Also are we just going to sleep on the fact that Amir wanted to name Yuugo Jewgo and Murph made him change it oh my god-

foxyfungi

Congrats on the daddy status Caldwell! Blessing to baby Tanner. 🍄

Kayla Holmes

ObZen

Please come to Buffalo! I live in Fort Erie in Canada, and I've been waiting for a Canadian live show, but Buffalo is actually way more convenient for me lol

Jesse Smith

And of course congrats to Caldwell!!!!!!

Jesse Smith

I woke up this cozy Christmas eve to this and I couldn't be happier. Me and my little family are going to do our tradition of 1 present today and after, me and my son are gonna listen to this, he loves you guys. He was rolling laughing at a joke in an episode and asked where I found you guys and it lead me down a path of nostalgia that almost made me cry. I've been laughing at jake, Murph and Emily since I was in like middle school (im 26 now) and im just genuinely thankful I found you guys. Jake and amir, and now this pod, has made me laugh for a fucking decade. Thank you so much for all the goofy entertainment through the years. Happy holidays everyone

frazninja

I am absolutely an optimising player, you got me!

Melon Bread

Congrats to Caldwell! Gloomstaulker rogues can work great in melee with cunning action/uncanny dodge combos plus higher hit die, so it's not necessarily the lack of a bow as the fact that the sickle isn't finesse, so you can't get sneak attack on it. (I wouldn't put it past the DM to have missed that though.)

Brook A. Hall

Daddy Caldwell!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

Melon Bread

Vax had the boots of haste, which were a broken item, and a lot of homebrew stuff to buff him up. Vengeance paladin is a very good multiclass for a rogue though.

Clayton Davis

How do you scale these businesses?😅

sawnnyM

Massive congrats to Caldwell and his lovely wife! Also another place you might not be able to sell out in but you would definitely love (we already know Caldwell does) come to New Zealand!!

Tarren

Emily is reading the four branches! The mabinogion, Terry Pratchett and naddpod are the main things I constantly try to talk to people about! The Blodeuwedd story would fit this campaign really well I think.

Michael Lovell

Congrats Caldwell!

Josnak

Congratulations Suze and Caldwell!! 🎈🎉✨

Congrats Caldwell! And also I'm not fast but I did run to Naddpod before my knees betrayed me!

Congratulations Caldwell!!

James Wagner

COME TO BUFFALO PLEASE WE HAVE THE BEST WINGS IN THE WORLD AND I’LL BUY ALL OF THE TICKETS

Cj Ferrigno

Yeasssss congrats!

Congrats Duncle!

Miss Ter Cole

Congratulations Caldwell and Suze!

Nolan Childerhose

Caldwell's baby was born the same day as my friends' kid! Congratulations to all the new parents!

GREYFOX!!!!!

I'm so happy for you papa caldwell! Enjoy your break and time with your new little one.

Sam Johnston

Congrats Caldwell!!!!

H-Train

first off, congrats dadwell! second off, murph kinda goofed up with that example of a character who multiclassed without minmaxing. i believe the paladin/rogue character he was talking about was Vaxildan from s1 of critical role, and if memory serves that guy was doing like 200 damage per attack every turn at like level 15. so while there were story reasons for it, he was also obviously minmaxed
