Emily, was the crush you were talking about for Moonshine a few episodes ago Hardwon? Did you want to explore that more?

Also, can we get a tour of the twodio? I'm very intrigued in your recording set up. What kind of equipment do you use? I know about the h6 but didn't know what else went into your glorious process.

In the early days of the show, you were considering how often you would have guest players on, and how you would use them. How did your thoughts on having guest stars change after the Ezry and Tower episodes, and how do you think you will use guest players in campaign 2? I’d love to hear you thoughts about the early days of NADDPOD, and how it will shape campaign 2!

Hey y’all! Big fan, obviously. This podcast is so revered and loved by so many and were so thankful for you guys! My question is - is there a moment that you recall thinking “wow...we have something really special here?” for me, it’s when hardwon learns about his parents, and the Galaderon saga as a whole - the narrative began to pick up and I remember thinking “this is next level storytelling AND comedy.”

#releasetheletter, but also question for the cast: How do you guys come up with such unique characters that never seem to repeat?

Two things: firstly, and I may be wrong about this, but isn't there half a heart unaccounted for? Did the Dusk Mother not already have half a divine heart and therefore only needed half of the second Thiala heart? In that case, where would you want that second half of the heart to go? Secondly, if you were to give that half heart away, would the boobs ever consider giving it to Hardwon so that he could reach the age that the other two will before eventually giving it up and dying alongside them? That might be a neat way to deal with Moonshine's angst about losing him.

Emily- the music you wrote was incredible. the song at the very end of the campaign, was that the entire band of boobs singing? I swear I heard the gutteral tenor of Murph and the angelic tones of Caldwell in there as well. That song brought me to tears just as much as the rest of the episode.

Would you guys ever do one shots (for like a mixed bag) while playing other characters from the main campaign? For example, a dirty daddies dungeon dive with Lucanis, Elias Sr as a ghost and Beverly Toegold IV as a revenant. Maybe Murph could play a time traveling Balnor that assembles the crew for a crisis that transcends space and time.

Did Ren bend the knee?? Also was there any moments "off camera" you wish you could have explored more?

How does Hardwon feel about the Crick inevitably outliving him? Is it reasonable to think that he might spend his end-days on the Stormborn—one last adventure with Mooshine and Bev? Is Moonshine prepared to watch Hardwon get old before her eyes? I imagine in the end, he’d have a Viking send off on the Stormborn too, where Bev sends an ignited Javelin into the hull of the ship, sending Hardwon off to Kord’s Great Hall.

In the short rest after the Queen Ezra fight Murph said there was something else he had considered using for Moonshine that he couldn’t reveal in case it came up later and I’m still curious about it, do you remember what that was/how it would have played out?

When wrapping up a TV show, you try to make sure all loose ends are tied up, and all characters have hit all the important beats you wanted them to throughout their story. D&D is different, however, in that it’s collaborative story telling where you are only making a part of the decisions. Is there any plot line that you feel you wish had more time to be spent on, or was wrapped up in a deeper way? Similarly, is there anything you wanted to explore with your character that you never got a chance to?

Murph, I'm re-listening to the podcast all the way through now that you've wrapped up campaign one. As I'm listening, I'm noticing that things you and the characters brought up as early as the first few episodes manage to circle back to the end of the story. How intentional is this?

Would you ever consider revisiting Babumia? Possibly set further in the future. Murph have you considered setting the next campaign in a universe where Bahumia as a realm also exists? Could make for some cool crossover stuff between worlds. Maybe some bleeding of ideas and interesting tie-ins. Stephen King has an interesting way of doing that!

Hey Guys. Thanks for all the fun and adventure. It was an amazing journey. I have two questions mainly for Murph but also for everyone else of course. First off what NPC's journey most surprised you overall? So many great characters that the group latched on to over the course of the show. From Cobb being crochety old crick elf to an important player in the history of Bahumia and the future of improv comedy, to Pendergreens starting in a necklace, to a belly chain, to ruler of hell and of course Balnor being a playing card to the savior of the universe. Second, what little mechanic or running gag do you guys wish had continued on longer. My friend and I missed Hardwon's Arcane addiction storyline and wished it had continued. Also I really wanted that singing billy bass fish to hang around sooo much longer! Thanks again for all the memories and looking forward to the boobs being low level boobs again! Watch this!

Emily and Murph, what is the process for writing music for the show? Does Murph request a theme for a specific scene, or an emotion he wants to convey, or is it fully up to Emily to write what she thinks fits the mood?

Are there any lines or speeches that really stuck out for you from the campaign? I always loved Hardwon's line at the astral council "You don't broker a deal with someone who calls themself a god".

Hey guys, more of a question for murph. As a relatively new dm I’ve never played with PC’s above level 7/8, when the BoB’s started getting into the higher levels, what challenges did you face when the bar started being raised and the players started to become larger than life.

I would love an album of music from the Nine Hells. Specifically that lick when Moonshine outsmarts Josh.

Firstly love you guys and thank you so much for everything! My question is for the boobs, if you could replay the campaign as another race/class combo what would you choose and to daddy Murph if you could have made a character what race/class would you have played? Love you guys so much!

Maya B

Murph did you have paragraphs written for things that never happened? Can we hear some?

Already asked in the short rest post, but any chance your custom, signed char sheets up for auction? Would be really sweet ending and nice chance to collect for a goos cause.

Nick Neverman

As players going into a new campaign, how prevalent do you want your previous PC’s influence to be? It will be fun to witness the Boobs overall influence on Bahumia through different eyes in the future campaigns but would you want to do something entirely new or continue in the same world just at a very different time/place?

Anonymous

Will the next campaign be set Bahumia? If so, will it be in the near or distant future? If yes to either of those, Murph, do you plan on the sprinkling in easter eggs of the Band of Boobs?

First of all, thank you all so much for such a great campaign! I started listening just last fall and I am so glad I got caught up for the finale! For everyone: Do you like the ending of the campaign? Do you wish that it would have gone a different way? Also #releasetheletters (eventually)

Caldwell, your drawings helped bring so many amazing characters from a theater of the mind to the page. Is there any character that stands out who's appearance changed for you from the time they were introduced to the time they were drawn?

Em and Jake. You mentioned before that Moonshine's and Hardwon's story together isnt over yet. How do you see their relationship progressing going forward? Will they ever admit that they arent strictly platonic? And how will Bev feel/react when he finds out about it? Thank you guys for the wonderful ride, I'm honestly so sad it's over but it's been an honor being on this journey with you:) ❤❤❤

Here's a few questions for the Hearthside chat. Emily, back in the final Gladeholm tournament battle with Mavris you were extremely low on hit points and Bev healed you, then you said that he saved you in a big way but you didn't want to say what it was in front of the DM, could you tell us how he saved you? Murph, I am about to DM for the first time for a bunch of my friends who haven't played D&D before, do you have any advice to help me create a fun, engaging world for my players while helping them and myself learn at the same time? Were there any alternate characters that you had in mind before deciding on Bev, Hardwon and Moonshine? Also a question for everyone, what advice do y'all have for creating well rounded characters? And finally, are you going to bring Ally Beardsley and Lou Wilson on as guests in the new campaign?

With the beginning of a new campaign looming, Murph, what is your process for creating a new world? Where do you draw inspiration, and how do you begin to develop a new location? What sort of material do you draw from? Caldwell, what led you to decide to play a young queer character? You portrayed him so honestly and truthfully, none of Bev’s identity felt forced. As a gay man I appreciated the representation and how real it all felt. Thanks again for everything you all rock!

Did you make a conscious decision at some point in the campaign to stop using the Kid Cudi song in the solo cup as a running joke, or did it just kind of fizzle out organically? I agree with letting it go so as not to run a joke into the ground, but I was secretly hoping for a little callback in the finale. Maybe in campaign 2?

Murph, did you always intend to introduce Balnor (or another long term NPC)? He obviously started as a companion of the boobs, was the purpose of this the increase the size of the party, increase the DMs enjoyment, add something to the party that you thought would improve the enjoyment of the players or add an element to the podcast? I ask, because I am an aspiring DM (mostly out of necessity) but don't have many friends to play with and adding a companion character may mean I get to play more often. Also, #releasetheletter ❤️

Emmie

1. As a DM I'm still in awe that Murph threw the deck of many things into the campaign. What would you all have done if you hadn't been so lucky with the rolls? Would there have been a quest to retrieve Hardwon from another dimension or would Jake have rolled a new character? 2. Fuck marry kill Glittering Lady, Luna, Egwene 3. #releasetheletter

I have lots of questions 1. Can you walk us through the timeline of leveling up between like episodes 96-100? And did they get leveled down when the divine hearts were removed? 2. What level druid is MeeMaw? Has it stayed the same throughout the whole campaign? 3. Did Stunkbug and Apple and Mavrus and other pcs survive the cataclysm? 4. Will you ever do a sort of epilogue like years down the line or even centuries? 5. Does Bev like, go back to school now? What happens to him? Hardwon and moonshine can just sorta chill and live their lives, but Bev is just a kid. 6. When are you gonna release the rest of the live shows? 7. Can we do a one shot following Balnor's battle with the hounds? Maybe he can use his skills to like train a small militia in the village or something so it won't be attacked again? 8. What do Ulfgar and Alanis do now that they don't need to be in hiding or anything? Do they finally get together? 9. Will Martha Toegold remarry? 10. Is there anything that could be done to hardwon to make him live as long as Bev and moonshine? 11. Where is deadeye nw? 12. Did Jake not realize that we would not rest until we knew the contents of his letter? Also, Murph should write a fantasy series because he is crazy good at world building and all of his scripted parts sounds like they come out of a very good book. Would he ever consider writing one?

Anonymous

Question for Murph: now that the campaign’s over, were there ever opportunities to deviate from the path the Band of Boobs would eventually follow? Looking back, the only locale change that felt like a true “choice” on behalf of the Boobs came when they decided to go to Frostwind over Irondeep, while the rest felt like very natural progressions into one another (Moonstone-Galaderon-Crick, Frostwind-Fae Wild-Shadowfell-Gladehome, etc) Obviously looking back I can’t imagine any other story just because of how wonderfully things progressed and were eventually tied up, but I was curious if there were any potential branches down this path that got lopped off along the way

1 question and 1 comment: This is for Brian and Emily, what's it like working so closely with your spouse? You guys seem to work so seamlessly together on many different projects, does it ever become difficult because of your relationship? Have there been times where it's been hard? 1 point I want to make is that in episode 99 short rest, I don't think Murph was given enough credit. Everyone talks about how amazing the moments were between Moonshine and MeeMaw and Hardwon and Jaina etc. were but none of these scenes work if Murph isn't incredible. You really make this show amazing man, and it's spoiled me to the point that I can't really listen to other DMs on podcasts because they aren't as good as you. Thank you for everything!

Uh oh! Balnor pulls a Doc Brown and suddenly time-slides into the Jambourine... in a DnDeLorean! What Boobs-To-The-Future-2 catastrophe is he back to warn you about in 30 years?? Does “something need to be done about the Boobs KIDS???” A Campaign after the Campaign... after the Campaign?

Anonymous

Murph, can you give us the Story of Balnor? Break down how you created him, how he evolved over time, and when did he go from just a Knight Card to an integral part of the story? I'm sure it's been discussed in some Short Rests, but I think a full coverage of his rise from a card to Titan is fitting for our favorite Time Traveling Dad.

What was your character’s favorite moment in the campaign

Is there any interest in trying out different systems for one shots (or maybe even a whole campaign) at some point in the future? Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, GURPS, there's a lot of options out there and it could be neat to see.

This is on his wiki page, but Murph tweeted that it exploded when the Watchman got killed as part of his deal with the other gods to remain on the Material Plane!

First off we love all of you, and second what is your favorite arc of the campaign excluding the ones with guests because we all loved the honorary Boobs.

First I wanna ask: If you told the Murph in 2012 that walked 50 miles from Manhattan to New Jersey that he was going to DM a successful dungeons and dragons podcast, what would he say? Second question: In the next Naddpod campaign what new wizards of the coast content do you plan on using? I know you used the older unearthed arcana for the the circle of spores Druid subclass. (They’ve now nerfed it)New unearthed arcana has psionics, there’s Matt Mercer’s new book and a new book coming in June.

Anonymous

For Murph: was there ever a plan to bring in some of the guest characters like Mavris or Apple to the final episode. Not even in battle but there in the background watching?

Anonymous

For Murph: I was really surprised the final battle came down to an actual contest of strength. Did you ever consider making the fight against Thiala more task based, like they had to figure out away to remove all the gems from her before she became vulnerable? Or did you always want it to be a classic showdown of power? Thanks and love show.

Fantastic finale! While I'm sad to leave this universe behind, it feels like a complete story and was really wonderful. Question for Murph: when did the endgame plan take shape for you? I remember you saying around episode 75 that we were nearing the end, but did you have the last quarter of the campaign set by then? I was expecting the final battle to come up within 5-10 episodes of then so was very happy to get more naddpod with the adventures in the Nine Hells, the horsemen, the hellfire crown debacle, and the dragon pocket plane before the final showdown.

I would love to hear you all discuss Beverly's prejudice of Moonshine throughout the campaign. He had a very Ron Weasley level of racism/classism that I kept thinking of during the campaign. It wasn't malicious, but innate based on upbringing. Would you all be willing to discuss that?

>>36849617

He showed up and Murph figured it out after! Based on short rests, it seems like by the end of Tales From the Crick Murph had a general idea (i.e. that he was sent by Alanis), but he's discussed before that the reason we have the cool backstory we have is because the Boobs fought the dragon turtle and so recording for 50 went long and they did 51/meeting Alanis in a separate session. If that hadn't happened, the plan was for Balnor to have been one of Alanis's automatons, but instead he had time to think of something cooler!

I've been relistening to the early arcs and I am astonished at how similar and how different the characters all are from beginning the end. I have really enjoyed the organic growth - the fungi spread for sure! My question is two fold; 1 - as Players, did your original vision of your character come out in storytelling like you expected? By what story arc did you feel you really "knew" your character? And 2- as Characters, what events do you believe changed them the most, and which events made them double down on their own truths?

Murph, in wanting to move to low magic is of the future for the next campaign what ways do you imagine the stakes can be raised and allow players to be as creative. Feels kind of hard to have moments equal to a motorcycle jump over trolls in hell or flying berserker pirate elephant steeds. When you say low magic do you mean magic is not that powerful and abundant or magic is just as powerful but much more rare?

I've been curious about subtle instances like when we first see Thiala, Ulfgar and Alanis reunited for the first time (at the Astral Keep), or when Hardwon has the flashback to holding the Irondeep Kingshammer (making him, at that point, the first person to wield all three). Are these big moments that Murph is cognizant of and plans far in advance, or does the significance not even occur to him in the moment?

Hi guys, thank you for an absolutely deadly conclusion to campaign one! My question is: How does running a campaign with three PCs compare to DMing for a larger party?

Band, What is your head canon for the Band of the next couple thousand years? That would include hardwon's death but with Bev and Moonshine aging slowed to a near stop, what do they do with that time? Also, what does Hardwon do when he's not at his stump for the rest of his years?

In this epic story full of amazing set pieces, plot threads, and unforgettable moments; What single moment, from the entire campaign, will you never forget? For me, I will always remember Thiala blacking out the sky and appearing to Galaderon. All while The Chosen bore down on the doors of Pelors temple, as the crew join together in prayer to send the Green Knights to the Fey Wild. One of the most visceral moments of storytelling I've ever experienced. You guys for putting together such an amazing story and experience.

Have you guys considered releasing your final character sheets? Maybe a charity auction for covid relief where folks have the opportunity to bid on them? Totally understand that they're sentimental and might be something you want to keep, but couldn't resist throwing it out there as I'd love to add more to my ever-growing NADDPOD framed collection of maps, posters, and prints...

Thank you all so much for this story. I came across NADDPOD randomly, and fell in love from the first episode! Murph, were the chosen and Thiala always meant to be a villain? I believe you've talked about what roles you wanted the legendary hero's to play vaguely in the short rest, but was there ever a chance of Thiala being brought back from the goal she set for herself or was her heart and mind set already by the time the PC's ever saw her?

As a DM who struggles with encounter design, I'm super curious how Murph designs his fights and how the philosophy might differ from a home campaign where the hour or so time slot is a constraint on how the story is told. I was inspired by Murph to DM for the first time, myself and I am super curious about a peek behind the screen at his design process. Is this cool or would this be giving away the special sauce recipe?

I'd like to know more from Emily about Moonshine's decision to become a gold dragon to defeat Thiala. Was it her plan all along?

Thank you so much for going through with the rest of the campaign, btw.

When did you guys realize that you were creating something so special that would not only be received well by fans but also change the scope of so many others' D&D campaigns/careers? I guess you could say that right off the bat we were promised a podcast that was Not Another D&D Podcast but when did it sink in as the creators that your work was going to be friggin revered? From my listenings I always find episode 13 is the turning point in both the sincerity and stakes of the campaign but I certainly want to know when the podcast really started living up to it's full potential in your opinions?

Murph, how many possible endings did you plan? Obviously there's winning and losing, but were there any other possibilities you planned for? Did you plan anything for if the boobs actually decide to work with Thiala? What did the resolution look like if the Boobsbo failed in defeating Thiala? Big fan.

Murph, most of the monsters you use seem to be right out of the Monster Manual, Tome of Beasts etc. (or re-skinned versions). How much do you try and find monsters that will fit the setting the story is in and how much do you build encounters around wanting to use a particular cool monster. Also would you consider departing from the manuals more and inventing your own monsters in future so that they and their abilities are complete surprises to the players and listeners?

Hey Boobs, This question is a little bit of a downer, but i am curious what you all think. Given the deep and complex relationship between Hardwon and Moonsine, do you think that it would be difficult or intimidating for other people to try having a romantic relation with either of them? Especially considering they would be living at the Crick for the foreseeable future.

1. Will Balnor retain his memories when he's brought back to his time line and if so, what level will he be? If he's staying his current level and keeps his memories do you think Balnor will struggle finding his place in his family and readjusting to his time line now being so powerful and having so much knowledge about the world? 2. For the whole cast, who is your favorite character that maybe didn't get as much air time, and for Murph, what NPC really caught on that surprised you the most? 3. Murph, if Balnor had died a few episodes ago and wasn't brought back by Beverly, do you think someone else would have stepped up to aid them in the final battle? And would Balnor have still been allowed to go back to his time line if one or more of the band of boobs had died permanently in that final battle or would that have been too many people leaving at once?

For Murph, Were there any other people (from CH or otherwise) that you planned or attempted to have on as guest stars at any point in the campaign? If so, why didn’t it work out?

I'm glad everyone is doing the responsible thing and quarantining in this trying time, love from Australia, did my second listen through of everything during the lockdown. Just wondering if you're going to make campaign 2 be the same length as campaign 1 or shorter and give time to maybe have Emily, or Jake DM some stuff like Caldwell does for Trinyvale? Emily your DM session with Siobhan and Brennan was so good and would love more.

Murph, now that you know how the players interact with each other and the content you creat for them as well as what their strengths as players are, are there new themes that you're excited about exploring in the new campaign? Will the next campaign still take place in Bahumia?
