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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

a confounding but also charming amount of in-game singing

one liners that *almost* land

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

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

begrudgingly allowing your mom to be a complex person

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

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

• Kristen Applebees

- If you like:

totally inparceable pop culture references

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

simulacrum antics

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

• Riz Gukgak

- If you like:

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

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

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

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

• Adaine Abernant

- If you like:

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

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

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

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

• Fabian Seacaster

- If you like:

every joke zac oyama makes

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

having daddy issues so severe it’s in the DSM5

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

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

Zac

Erika

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

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

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

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

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

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