listening to NADDPOD as an avid D20 fan is wild because every time a paladin casts 'detect good and evil' i expect the classic brennan response of "you don't detect good or evil, but rather an absence of energy that seems to disturb the environment around you. it's impossible to describe because you've never felt this sensation before... a mysterious aura pulses around you at a frequency that sounds like both the ending and beginning of all things" and murph will be like "yo that sword is straight up EVIL dude that is 100% a cursed sword"

I think Izzy on Adventuring Academy is correct that “chaotic” is an adjective disproportionately attributed to women players. Aside from Ally Beardsley, but that’s a whole other discussion regarding queerness and women in nerdy gaming spaces.
That being said here are some examples of men who are chaotic players:
Lou Wilson - Besides the Fabian almost dying example mentioned in the Adventuring Academy episode, we have Pinocchio’s whole hotdog bit, the pole dancing on his own nose, and his entire presence in the first episode. (“I’m the prince of Shoeberg, motherfucker”) Then there’s Squak who loves starting chaotic shit. Even Gunnie has to get in on the chaos.
Caldwell Tanner - If you’re not listening to Naddpod you’re missing out. He is incredibly chaotic. The shenanigans Beverly gets into is peak chaos. (Also Emily Axford is there to egg him on.). Early examples include a bullywug mating call and goofing a god. Even as a DM he’s chaotic. Look at Trinyvale, which is designed through pure chaos. (He, as video game character Gex, said the immortal words “I’m young, hung and full of tongue” which will live etched into my soul forever.) The world isn’t flat, it’s a cube!! Then there’s Hungry Dave in Hot Boy Summer who flings Frisbees and eats a spell. (Zac, Murph and Jake are also very chaotic in this too.)
Freddie Wong - D20 fans know him from Mentopolis in which he killed a police captain and has super hard testicles. But if you listen to Dungeons and Daddies you know he’s pure chaos. He takes huge cartoony swings and they are usually chaotic. Truly one of the most uncontrollable players out there. I’m more shocked when Freddie makes a grounded decision than a chaotic one.
Brian Murphy - I know what you’re thinking. “But but but he’s the rules guy. He’s a plot hound.” True but he’s also very chaotic. He makes the choice to eat the dragon that ate his dad. (Delicious in Dungeon style) Also Barry 6 has unhinged chaos moments equal to anything Emily does. What about Cody Walsh? Everything he does. He sold his soul in .25 seconds and smashed his face with a brick. Then there’s Jens Lyndelle, quite possibly the most wretched and chaotic piece of shit ever invented. Murph is sneaky chaotic. Yes he loves being a plot hound but so does Emily. The story and the game mechanics are vehicles for both of them to behave chaotically.
In a lot of these examples these guys are playing with Emily Axford and bringing a very similar energy. Yet she’s the one labelled chaotic. Lou is the more chaotic of the duo in ACOFAF. Caldwell and Murph match her freak on Naddpod. So, I do think there’s a disparity here and it does seem sexist. When Ally started playing they were a more female-presenting queer person. Or as they’ve phrased it, they “come from lesbianism”. So, I think you can certainly view it as a sexist label that stuck. But also let’s not overlook how queerness is viewed through the patriarchy as a feminine trait. Like misogyny and homophobia are spidermen pointing at each other. So it comes as no surprise the very openly queer person whom we watched transition on D20 is also labelled chaotic.

a very merry end of campaign 3 to all naddpoles out there!!! ive had these designs for the main teams done for a long while but never posted them, what better time to do so than now! excited to see what new stuff comes next 🦆
Moonshine Cybin, crick elf druid, lover of fungus and ambassador of decay; and youngins running amok. Their ancestors were banished to the dank shores of the crick, deep within the Living Woods, where they now live in an idyllic anarchic community, welcoming misfits from across the realm who need a home. Moonshine’s buff as fuck, wields a greatsword, casts spells, and can out-wrestle anyone. Her only canonical description is that she has a tooth gap and huge tits. I love her.
The setting of the crick in the fantasy world of Not Another D&D Podcast is based on the American south. What could be more in the spirit of the crick than drawing from the historical examples of isolated multiracial communities in the hollers of Appalachia? I gave these crick elves features from a mix of Native American, African, and European ancestry. The clothes I mostly modeled after those of poor, rural southerners in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a little ren faire mixed in. It was so fun drawing the crick youngins, whose daily activities consist of running around half-naked, climbing, playing, setting things on fire, causing mayhem, and getting put in the time-out sack.
I don’t know how to effectively draw dirt with a pencil, so please imagine 300% more mud stains on the youngins, as well as adult Moonshine who probably just went fishing or wrassled with a crick bullywug.
I also kept accidentally lifting away graphite from one area as I drew another area and lightening the whole drawing, so despite continually re-lining and re-shading as I went, the skin tones ended up not as dark as I initially drew them. I had to call it here to get my submission in on time, and I'm thinking I might try a digital piece next time lol
Credit to ro-bee for the pose reference. I’ve had this art saved in my liked photos for months hoping to do a Moonshine redraw of it and I finally did! Thank you for your talent. And thank you to Ice for the challenge—I rarely draw and I’m definitely still a beginner, so this was such a great reason to get myself to do some creating. Happy birthday!!
