Hearthside Chat Q&A: Trinyvale x Strahd Reflections (and New Campaign Preview!)

This is a HeadGum Podcast. Welcome to Heartside Chats, everybody. Heartside Chats. Just finished the campaigns. We're going to kick up next to the fire, get our nice woolly socks up in there. Actually thematic because there are some blizzards happening. Yeah. So let's get cozy. That's right. Almost two feet. I had to fight. I took a sled to the office. Yeah. You're going to need Santa's sleigh with this. Oh my gosh. I did a full on Grinch thing with Dingo. You abused your dog, dude. Oh, shit. We were joking around. No, it's okay. The dog put his paw to his forehead and said, oh, brother and dog boy. So it's fine. The dog was on board. The dog was complicit in the Grinch. We can fucking admit that now. He kept on smiling and shrugging. Jake split his cinnamon whiskey with the dog. It's fine. That's nice. Yeah. Thanks, dude. And with that, Jake, you've got some questions for us. I certainly do. First one for Straudwell Von Tanner. Wow. It was made to be. This one. Yeah, why didn't we never call him Straudwell? God damn it. You know what? We were too in character. You were too in character, but also I got too inebriated on Drunkle to stray from that. You're right. Well, this first one's from Evil Anagram. Actually, not a question, but they say, hi, Caldwell. I just want you to know that I love the way your cartoonish sense of storytelling carries into everything you do and helps build a unique feel of the Trinity Vale campaign. You run a ridiculous table that is so much fun to listen to. And the players are clearly having fun. Thanks for giving us this gift. And thanks for the whole table. Cheers. I just wanted to start off with a bouquet of roses for you. I think that's great. That's so nice of you. I agree with that. Pull out a little clap. I gotta say, this was such a blast to run. So thank you guys for making it so fun. It was really a delight. Thank you for doing like a PhD level of research. Yeah, you did a really great job of condensing it too. Because I know, I mean, I didn't know any spoilers. Back in the day, I perused the Strahd module back when it first came out or maybe like a year later. Well, then I think you put a lot of it for when we went to the Shadow. Yes, definitely. And it was fun kind of like reading through it being like oh so that's like where this came from yeah they're like bestiary i used for sure do you remember murph anything that you had pulled nope okay you knew exactly how many hit points strott had right yeah i knew all his weaknesses and everything and like where everything was in the castle right exactly other than that i have a tattoo of the 80 room on my back and this is the true mastery of murph is that he like he was stone-faced the entire time i had no idea i could not get a read on how much he did. In reality, I need to go on the wiki to find out my own lore. Because honestly, campaign one was tough. It was a good time in my life that was really hard. Actually, that does bring me to a question for Is Brian Murfianovich. What? Oh, it's a Strahd themed, Mark. Yeah. It's Strahd. It's equally good. So Is Brian, instead of Is Mark, It's really good Murph? Ismurf? It's better than Broadway Ismurf would have been really good I thought you said that I heard it I just said Isbrian What the hell That's the only note Also there are questions So if you say Isbrian I assume you're asking questions It obviously should have been Ismurf I fucked up and I'm fucking sorry Apology not accepted Ismurf let him off the hook Ismurf I didn't Fucking Hey guys ismurf angry about something Ismurf the lesser Go on Man ismurf this question's for you He had to take a sled I'm still confused when I hear it Because I hear ismurf and I'm thinking like Ismurf going somewhere Ismurf going to the party Ismurf ready to answer this question from Puckered Vent Yes exactly puckered vent puckered vent jesus puckered vent needs to know ismurph what what is it stuck on puckered vent that's awesome deep nadpod lord yeah resurfaced as what is puckered vent that's from nadpod because a vent is like a is a frog's ass yeah that's a frog's ass campaign three ref yeah my god and then we always talk about puckered buttholes yeah they're they're in all right we love yeah and thank you ismurf what has it been like not having to dm and getting to be fully a player for a while now awesome have you missed it or has it been a nice change of pace i do no i i miss it for sure i think um i i do like when we're at the table as like a control freak i do like dming but it is like i mean caldo will tell you it's a very heavy lift running the show or running the campaign for the show. Guys, there's so many rooms. There's so many rooms in the castle. I miss the prep of it and I miss the actual DMing in the room. But as far as you kind of become the executive producer of the show when you're the DM because you're the one who's going to look real stupid if your lore doesn't match up or something like that, then everyone might not catch so i don't miss that aspect of it i've liked not having to do that for a little bit yes but as far as like the actual dming i guess i do miss it a little bit there's that itch you feel yes but i will say that murph uh like is great as a player like letting him be fully unleashed as gens is just fantastic and that can only happen when he is unshackled from the dms yeah but also murph is like really helpful behind the scenes a lot of it gets edited out but like anytime I'm like struggling with anything as far as like running heavy combat, which is not my forte, like Murph is always like quick with like a tip that like really helps speed things along in a really kind and helpful way. So like I will give, you know, unless we forget he also still edits the first path. Yeah, he's not. Yeah, actually I do. Yeah, I guess I still know a fair amount about the show. Yeah. Is Murph is still not without. Yeah. Is Murph still working on the show a lot? Yeah. So, so answer is I do really love, playing and especially playing as gens and with the triplets and in caldwell's campaigns yeah um and uh i've had a lot of fun definitely with scaldova too and so and i mean even going back to like frankie and stuff with twilight sanctorum so i like a mix of both but i certainly haven't missed being the executive producer of the show it is true you have to listen to yourself so many times oh my god and like even when like you've made it buttoned up even when the lore does make sense and the roles make sense and the math adds up you still are like i sound like a fuck you're like why didn't i fucking say it different god damn god especially with the the finale i think it worked out like really well uh how like just like narratively everything played out but like just listening to every turn i had a straw being like should have done this sure than that oh how could you possibly right because they give you such a crazy toolkit for those big bads that like it would feel like every decision you're like well that was that the strongest thing he could have done it is true who knows he has a million things he can do there's like four things he could do like on top of that there's like layer actions layer actions i didn't even get to where there's one where on initiative 20 he can just disappear into the walls if he wants and i was just like that's fucking unfair yeah yeah like he was already running away if you just like melded into the wall and i was just like oh okay you guys can take a long rest if you want just like attack the wall i'd like to say that it was way funnier to have him pretend to take a phone call and walk away and meld into the wall yes you always have to ask yourself like what's the trinneville answer yeah that was it we found there's also yeah there's a lot of stuff that works at tables where you're not you know having to be performative where you're like if you have a big bad that has a ton of legendary resistances right and can disengage and hide and stun people and counterspell everything and it's just like that would suck so fucking bad to listen to like we pretty much stopped using the stun mechanics specifically because i would just like watch you guys sit there and be bored and be like this is fucking boring like that sucks well i mean not necessarily bored engaged just unable to participate exactly right yeah yeah there's always that like oh can i talk am i am i allowed to talk yeah yeah this seems like a bit outside of character can i make a joke i'll be quiet just in case i'm gonna make a quip above the table if that's okay no yeah am i the player stun hey guys this is above table call will could you shut up uh we need the roll audio clean uh but yes it's also like you guys had so much cool stuff to use in the final battle i didn't want to like stun you or get in your way because like i don't know you guys had saved up all your cool little tricks from your your trip to the chucky cheese prize counter and i wanted to let you make sure you use them we somehow made a lot of friends throughout the campaign it doesn't really make sense but we kind of it is It's weird that the treasure was the friendships along the way. There you go. I don't know how that works. Not to us. To us, it was the actual treasure. I'll respond to the question about Murph. Yeah. I'll say it's been really nice getting to talk to Murph about non-Nadpub stuff. Oh, that's true. Because a lot of our, when Murph is DMing, a lot of our conversations are about that. Yeah. Yes, I owe Suze a dinner because she's hearing a lot about Strahd. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. well we do know what we're doing for our next campaign so we will tease that and we'll say it at the end of the episode and we'll talk about it a little bit alright good because there are there are two questions related to that I'll save them for the end save them for the end so don't skip ahead because we are going to tease it at the end we're going to have so many good questions about McDonald's land and what not you're going to want all that stuff in the middle speaking of here's a question for the whole Raven lot okay oh Raven lot that's so much better than is Brian it was is murph is murph later is murph the workshop version is really good you know this is why we're a group i had to do this solo you know what it's a conversation yeah uh okay it's not full mcdonald's but annie b does have an irreverent question great uh hi to crew inspired by the dream i had where jake was a croissant cool if you were a baked good slash pastry what would you be jake you can answer but keep in mind i think you'd be a croissant i don't have to answer because I agree. Yeah. Wow. That's tough because I want to say a croissant. I love a croissant. Jake could be, because Jake's a friendly guy, so he kind of butters you up. So he's like a buttery croissant. Yes. I think so. Yeah. And I'm a little bit flaky. He's a little bit flaky. Trying to plan a meeting with this guy. It's tough. I think, Caldwell, I see you being one of those pastries that's like a little too decadent for a breakfast. Yes. Right? Like one of those little tiny- A baby cake. Yeah. What the fuck is a baby cake? You never had a baby cake? Is it like a cinnamon roll? It's like a tiny little, I do think I could be a cinnamon roll, but a baby cake is like a tiny, like it looks like a tiny little loaf in the same shape as like a banana bread loaf, but very tiny. Usually like a lighter bread, you know, and then it's got like just like a heaping dollop of icing on top. Interesting. Okay. I like cinnamon roll for you too, though. I think cinnamon roll because I, you know. You definitely need icing. That's for sure. I can see. Yeah, because he's like, he is very consistent and not flaky. There you go. I would say. but he's also a cartoon character. So I think he's something like a fibrous muffin, but with icing on top. What? He's a fucking cupcake. Dude's a cupcake. I actually was going to say, Murph, I see you being like a real working class scone. What's a working class scone? Raisins in human. You are a hardened scone, dude. Isn't a scone kind of a croissant? A scone is a crumbly. I guess I don't know. It's really quite crumbly, but it's like, it's no nonsense. I think you're a savory, you're a salty scone. Oh, a salty scone with a raisins in it? Salt water bisque sauce. This fucking sucks. But here's the thing. I know what scones are now. You can dress up Murph. Like you can get some clotted cream in there. You can get some jam on that. And I think that like, you're right. Rub a little of Caldwell's frosting on you. Every day it's like, what is Murph going to spread on himself today? It's more about the spread. What kind of Murph you're going to get? so I need to be a blank palette. But I can see you being like a ham and cheese scone or something. I don't even know if that's a thing. I know it's like a ham and cheese croissant. Ham and cheese. There's like a savory bacon scone type thing at a place near me. I think that's Merv. Every time I bite into it, I'm like, that is the taste of Brian. You're like, this tastes like Merv. Because you know what? It's fucking reliable as hell. When you've skipped breakfast and you reach for a ham and cheddar scone. Yeah. And it'll last too. You can throw that in your backpack and eat it six days later and be like, that's still hard. It's like, it's like ship biscuit or something. Oh, maybe Murph is a ship biscuit. A soldier's ration. Whole hard salt beef. All right, what is, what is that? What is Emily? I don't know. I went out of my way to declare what you guys were so I didn't have to label myself. You're something I feel like exotic but approachable, like a kunamon, like a churro. Ooh, I like that. Yeah, I've seen like churros that are shaped like the LA Dodgers logo. Maybe that. Because you love the Dodgers? I notoriously love every sport but baseball. The idea that I'm like a churro shaped like the LA Dodgers logo. And you tried to dodge the questions. Yeah, you're trying to dodge the questions. You're trying to dodge the Dodgers. I give up. I'm into baseball now. What are you afraid of? Yes, maybe like a braided churro or something like that. Ooh, a braided churro sounds good. I like that. What about you Murph My husband What do I think you are I want to see myself reflected back in your eyes You could be like a crawler Like a real like sugary crawler Because I think you are So true crawler There is something very sugary Could I also offer that you are the jam And clotted cream to Murph's crumbly ass Crumbly ass That's really interesting That's cool You're the cream inside me You make it more palatable Okay, so I actually can't be eaten on my own comfortably. It says you. You've never been to a high T. I'm scooping that cream with my fingers. Because you're sugary sweet, but you've got the complex folds. You've got some density to your personality. Yeah, there you go. It's real food there. So those are good options. I like when we label each other. it's funny because it always sounds like a little bit like an insult but i know that it is not i know that it is sincere and come to a good place i love a cruller i will just probably doesn't like a cruller i like a cruller are you kidding me i don't even know what that is i need to see it a cruller is like a donut with like um it's like a long ass donut dude yeah i mean that looks like a like a a churro yeah yeah yeah absolutely a cruller is pretty much a churro it's true adjacent all right cool did you feel insulted by no no no baby kick it was more so when murph was like you're a fucking cinnamon roll dude which i know like if you out of context that sounds like an insult but i know it is met with sincerity and sweetness yeah and now i actually have a question for the uh dodger herself the crawler emelina axe nova what do you guys think of that one. Nova, like something you sprout on a bagel. Great. There we go. This question comes from V. What is Emily's next makeover planned for Onyx in Wild Beyond the Witch Life? I remember she was originally pastel goth, but she's had a plethora of makeovers since then. So do you have any ideas for what's coming next? Also, thank you to Emily for inspiring so many of my own characters. It's really hard to think because I could definitely see her i mean i really didn't get to explore her in her adam sandler aka billy eilish outfit yeah yeah um because you became a turtle so so i wouldn't i i also still want her to have like a um existential french crisis at some point but wild beyond the witch line is not going to be where that happens right i feel like it's possible she'll go full raver girl yeah oh my god that's But I'm thinking like naughty slash 10s raver girl. So like before the drugs all got poisoned. So there like an innocence to it Yeah yeah It like the plastic glasses with like the the horizontal slits exactly yeah that what i thinking like a nostalgic raver girl people are putting those little smiley face stickers on their tongues and not thinking twice about totally yeah so yeah just like a neon with like maybe like a blow up uh pool toy around her oh my god still a turtle oh my god okay actually pivot from all that i'm gonna have to do a deep dive into how onyx is gonna is gonna sell the shell i feel like raver girl it could work with the shell at a rave you could wear the shell as a back yeah oh you're so right i'm just gonna hang a couple stuffed animals from it yeah and then christmas lights on it yeah christmas lights hang a couple stuffed animals like super glue some uh like a zippers on the side yeah yeah okay it's just gonna be a big backpack and i'm gonna tell everyone there's a ton of drugs in there and it definitely works like i keep the drugs yeah it works like a cartoon turtle shell where you can definitely store stuff in there yeah yeah and then when anyone asks for any you can just do a classic onyx no are i gonna be like are you a cop yeah the person who's at is describing what drugs they want you've already wandered away i do also wander away yeah i burst into tears wander away and say no we didn't talk about it enough on the short rest but like you freaking out when you got trapped in your tomb? Lying. She was lying. Yeah. I feel that my favorite Onyx bit is when she gets shy and talks really quietly. She gets shy. That would be so funny at a rate. Onyx is such a weird character, but it is very real because you think of people who cry a lot as being kind of good, sensitive people, but that's not always the case that's absolutely not always the case and Onyx is like a perfect example of like just highly emotional in a really bad way like a little thing will just set her off and she'll suddenly take it really personally but then other things just completely over her head yeah just completely unable to regulate your emotions and shout out to Daniel Ramos for regulating the music and Onyx's extreme volumes there'll be times that i'm like uh let's make sure that we can hear all this is whisper here oh really because it's so quiet i thought you were gonna say because sometimes i like scream at the top of my lungs also this is the multitudes and i wouldn't have it any other way your shell contains a multitude okay now i have a question back for the raven lot the whole raven lot but actually just for just for Ismurf and Sprawdwell. Wait, Jake, you didn't ask a question to yourself. Oh, you're right. I demand it. I appreciate that. The people will riot. Pivot. We gotta know what your name is. Dude, that is so churro of you. Just really sweet and thoughtful. This one's for me, aka Jake Cephalus. Joe says, for Jake. That sounds contagious. I don't even know what that's referencing. Bocephalus. Bocephalus. Also a disease I caught in 2012 could have been like steak steak herwitz or something that's really good yeah oh that would have been good nice work ismurph thanks yeah thanks ismurph this is why we're gonna workshop it next time since this was the first nadpod campaign since scaldova how do you feel dming has changed how you view playing pc if it has at all the thing i learned from scaldova is that i loved as a player i've always just kind of been like i want to like keep the story moving because I like think that's what the DM wants. A lot of ways I'm like my version of being a good player is trying to predict what the rail is and be like, I'll follow the story. I'm grinding down that rail, baby. Yeah. But then as a DM, I realized how much little things you place like almost as like just in case people do X, Y, and Z and you guys all poke around and it was really rewarding to be like, oh, this thing that I had planned for just in case is something that they are interested in. So I tried to be more interested in the world. Yeah. Is that. And so what do we get from that? We get the insistence on going to glassblowing. I do feel like Jake was at least half of the engine for glassblowing. And I don't think that I on my own would have pushed for it if Jake hadn't also been interested. Yeah. And glassass would have never existed. We might have been TPK. And then you would have never had that counterspell. Exactly. Definitively, you probably would not have had that counterspell. Yeah. but it's true that you were doing a lot of good prodding uh this campaign i mean like it started with like the net as far back as the net yeah i was insisting on it yeah but i think yeah like you kind of got that like collector's mindset a little bit uh and it like works because you kind of took on this like hunter uh aspect of yourself and we're just kind of like either trying to uh collect familiars or like you know like reach out to people yeah you even like have like a couple little scenes with Bluetooth. So I can definitely, I will say you honored that choice and you're going to get to play in the next campaign. I appreciate that. Yeah. Thank you. Despite the Is Brian thing. Okay. Now we can go to Damodar's question for Ismurf and Stradwell. Who would be on y'all's Mount Rushmore of 90s cartoon characters? Oh my God. Okay. So you got four slots, right? Four slots. Yeah, four slots. Interesting. Mount Rushmore. So it's going to be 90s interesting 90s cartoon okay so then we can't all right we're not counting the flintstones what about what about like what about cartoons that were rerunning in the 90s yeah like the flintstones we probably don't count that i feel like big in the 90s we have to offer really i feel like we got to honor the nick tunes and stuff because i would put scooby-doo on there but that like i was watching stuff from the 70s right i give you the a pup named scooby-doo could be on there but i don't know which of course would not be i don't think so yeah okay then i will step away because you guys know so much more than I do. This is clearly why they were asked and not me and you. This is gonna fucking kill us. So now you can skip ahead to the end of the episode. No, no, no. No, no, no. Okay, so we're thinking mostly Nicktoons. Right. But also movies. I think movies have played it. I have someone. Okay, yeah, yeah. Skeeter from Doug. Skeeter could definitely be a contender. Skeeter could be on there. Fuck. Skeeter could definitely be on there. Skeeter could definitely rush more. Okay, let's, for now. Honk honk. That's good. Toons more. We could also move them around. All right. Yeah. Let's put them up there for now. Let's put them up there for now. Yeah. Skeeter's up there. Skeeter's up there. We're going to put Skeeter up there. Okay. Okay. We're going to say. We're doing the sketch of the mountain. We're not carving yet. This is just hypothetical. Yeah. This is just a sketch. This is just a sketch. Okay. Skeeter. Okay. So you get the Disney afternoon block. Okay. We've got maybe like Darkwing Duck. Oh my God. Maybe. You've got the Rescue Rangers. Oh dude. you gotta throw Chip up there. I think Chip, but Chip and Dale, that's one, right? Chip and Dale counts as one. Chip and Dale counts as one. They're so small. Does it count as one? They're so small, dude. You have to choose one. You have to choose one. Chip or Dale. You can't have it. Chip or Dale. Without Dale. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Are you fucking crazy? Then you are- Let go of me. Then you are committing half of your Mock Rushmore to Chip and Dale. Hey, could we throw Gadget up there? Oh, you know what? because of the Russian fandom, I think Gadget's gotta go up there. Russia's so horny for Gadget that it actually earns. Okay, so if we can't have Chip, so M's put her foot down saying we can't have Chip and fuck. Okay, but I think this is good. I think it's compromising. Gadget can then represent Rescue Rangers. And here's the thing, we want people to come see Mount Toons more and Gadget's gonna bring in the Taurus. Yeah. That's the thing. So I'm feeling good about Gadget. Or Mount Brush more. Wow. Because Brutus paint cartoons. Come on. That's Cruller thinking. That's freaking Ismurph level. That's fucking Cruller thinking. I think I got more credit than I deserve for that. That crinkly Cruller brain is working. Yeah. Okay, so yeah, Nicktoons, Disney, and then we got like movies and stuff. Okay, yeah. Should we say, when we say cartoons- What about One Saturday Morning? One Saturday Morning. All right. Who's gonna like talk to One Saturday Night? So I'm gonna go ahead and say like, Simba's not really a cartoon. Wait, you're gonna open this to Disney movies? Obviously it's animated. Disney movies? animated movie is not simba's beyond yeah a cartoon cartoon i think it's television television i mean no but yes well you know what i mean like you wouldn't be like let's go see the new cartoon right you see the lion feature when you say 90s cartoon you're not thinking of aladdin yes exactly true you're thinking of aladdin the animated series oh you know who i would put on there too i think this is from the 90s yeah the brain from pinky and the brain okay oh but yeah maybe we do like an anim oh animaniacs yeah the animaniacs well here how about this what about the tiny two oh dude i just had that thought are we gonna go buster bunny are we gonna go bass is that 80s simpsons is 80s simpsons is technically 80s we could go ahead and kill they hit their prime in the 90s i'm gonna say you gotta put bart on i'm gonna say bart really seems 90s but bart is he's 80s i know but like he didn't hit his stride till the 90s i think yeah yeah because like there's so many parents i was born in 1985 but i'm a 90s kid. Yeah, okay. I would also argue that The Simpsons is more adult animation. I feel like the spirit of this prompt is like stuff you watched as a child, more like child cartoons. It's very true. I hear that. If you need a reason to call it out. With that, let's crumble. Let's take down Bart and Hank Hill. Crumble like a scum. Right now, I think let's stick with, what do we have? Skeeter? We got Skeeter? Possibly the brain. And Gadget. That's two mice. two mice we gotta we gotta toss one there there is this is going into stone do we do fucking do we do pilot blue oh interesting he's like an it's an iconic look i don't even but i don't like tail spin that much you don't know blue i don't know what about yeah yeah i i misheard you i know blue calm down all right i know gonna take the rest of the episode i'm just i can't get mad at you i have time to get mad i'm working so upset that there's so much shit like we're not gonna remember okay tommy pickles yeah hey can we not have tommy pickles on there you gotta or chucky chucky chucky's got an iconic look but he's such a fucking wiener tommy pickles is so fucking brave he's a leader he's gonna be easy to carve too because he's one could you do phil and lil if you're doing dude you can't you can't have phil without lil and lil you can't have chip and Yeah, we already decided that. We're going to have like a hall of characters at the bottom. Because like, you know, honestly, you come for Toons more and then you stay for the hall of Toons. Ultimately, you definitely don't need Doug and Rugrats, though. You got to have a Nickelodeon representative. Then we have to move on. I think you go Rugrats. I think Rugrats has more staying power. Yeah. So I'm going to say I think we scratched Skeeter. Guys, I think, I mean, okay. I hate to do it. I got to ask a question, though. I hate to do it. I got to ask a question, though, because I feel like SpongeBob's got to be up there. Is Spongebob 2000? I don't think it's from the 90s. I thought Spongebob was 2000. Oh, Ren and Stimpy, though. Oh, yeah. When did Spongebob air initially? Let's see this. Because I feel like maybe it started, I think it started in the 90s, but it's the same problem where maybe it hit its stride in the 2000s. That feels like a 2009. It's a 99. 99. We don't have time for when things come out, Jake. We don't have time for it. Spongebob is more about the 2000s, for sure. I gotta say. What about Sonic? Because Sonic had cartoons in the 90s, and I think it's also like 100% Sonic the Hedgehog is on there. Thank you for bringing that up. That is going to be another rodent. Yeah. Well, are Hedgehogs rodents? I don't think they are, but it certainly reads as rodent in my head. It feels rodent. Tommy Pickles, Sonic the Hedgehog feels good. And Gadget. Gadget's on there. Gadget's on there. Rescue Rangers, no question. No question Gadget's on there. And like, Emily, actually, everyone, everyone, please weigh in. Is she showing a little cleavage? No. You don't think so? I don't know. A tasteful amount like a waitress at a family-friendly restaurant. Yeah, okay. Yeah. And then on the other side of the mountain, it's everyone's ass. Just a fucking tasteful amount of cleavage that you could have a T-J-F-R-Days. A cleanest amount of bra. Just like, yeah. Okay. Then there's, I feel like obviously we're going to miss a ton. But like just going through them. Animaniacs, Tiny Toons. I think you could be like, Buster Bunny is the Bugs Bunny of our era. Uh-huh. but Babs Bunny arguably funnier fucking tough okay Babs is just as good as Buster I'm sorry I'm sorry it's 2026 and we should admit that what's really tough is that I feel like this crying tears welling we're having a lot of tough conversations today yeah you know that's good it's healing but I feel like the turtles deserve to be up there oh my dude how could oh their 80s yes you're right they started in the 80s did they hit their stride in the 80s could we use could we use the turtles the Simpsons argument that we had for then a children's show that really took off in the 90s but I think this is a when did things come out where we do have to look it up because if it's like 89 I do think they hit their stride in the 90s but if it's like 87 I don't know that we can go that far back I think I have mine oh yeah I've just been quietly doing cruller research in the background Skeeter from Doug Ren from Ren and Stimpy and Daria or Quinn from Daria Daria's a really good that's good Quinn was her sister's name right her sister was really funny her sister's really funny or is her friend's name Quinn and she always says Quinn maybe that's what it is wasn't her friend Lydia wasn't it I don't remember I'm talking about the sister's friend I feel like this skews a little adult this is like teen animation but it was still 90s it's M's it's like adult animation yeah okay when did the Ninja Turtles come out do you want to guess or do you want me to see I'll just look it out it's 87 I think we can't do that I think we straight up can't do that so do we want Gargoyles Gargoyles on the fucking mountain I know I know I wasn't asked but I have to step in I have to step in Gargoyles was a great show I love Gargoyles we all agree it freaking rocks we all know this maybe just because they were made of stone it seems kind of a good idea to put them on the mountain it's really hard to not have Scooby-Doo on there it's tough there definitely was a Scooby-Doo show in the 90s almost certainly even other than a pup named Scooby-Doo I think we do have to move on So let's just solidify this brush more. Okay, so this is me and Caldwell's together. Em's got her own. I think Em's is great. Well, I think we, you know what? In the interest of time, let's condense. Let's condense. We can definitely, we can reach an accord here. Okay, so let's say we're going to go Tommy Pickles. Certainly. We're going to go Gadget. Yeah. We're going to go Sonic the Hedgehog. And we're going to go. Skeeter? Fuck. Well, Skeeter, I think we don't want double Nickelodeon. You don't need double Nick. You don't need double Nick. We don't need double Nick. Unless you do Rocco. I think you need to indulge your desire for, it feels crazy to not have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle because there were so 90s. You know what? I think that Ninja Turtles, they're a nod to the past, a nod to the future. Okay, so can we do, I think as much as Leo is my favorite, Michelangelo, I believe, encapsulates the 90s the most. Very true. So we're gonna go number four, Michelangelo. There we go. Bravo. Final answer. Carve it. Wow. Okay. Carve it. Bring it home. Thank you for the question that almost destroyed the entire show. Thank you for the question that should be a mixed bag now. Thank you for the question that Murph is going to wake up in a sweat later tonight remembering someone he should have said. How did we not talk more about Animaniacs? Yeah. It's going to be something. Hey, the brain made it to mine. Yeah, the brain. The brain's solid. I do think that the brain deserves his own stature. You could have gone wacko. You could have gone dot. In my opinion. Yakko, I think, doesn't have a shot. I actually don't know them. I only know Pinky and the Brain. Yeah. That's okay. Oh, I mean, Buster and Babs Bunny.

This one comes from Always Home. What character build would Cutter Shinobi be? Wow. Whoa. I have been thinking about this, actually. I guess for all of the people out there wondering who Cutter Shinobi is, we should probably explain. Oh, yeah. We should fill that in. That was a mixed bag. We had a mixed bag where Murph and I read fiction that we wrote as children. Cutter Shinobi comes from a book called The Daybreak Zone that I wrote, I believe, in fourth or fifth grade. It's really good. Sort of a brave take on The Twilight Zone. Exactly. Both of you guys were really budding young writers. Exactly, yeah. We've only gotten better with time. Caldwell was breaking the fourth wall. It was really impressive. Yes. Cutter Shinobi is the protagonist of that book. He's got style. He's got charm. he's got catchphrases galore and he I think is depicted as like a fifth grader wearing a backwards hat so you know he's got he's got it all where it counts do you think there's something bardic about him I feel like there's like a bard that's like the fool or something where you're like always like accidentally doing an awesome job I think he's got to have cutting words right yeah yeah yeah because of his little sayings exactly I thought maybe he'd be like a rogue but I think he's like a storyteller bard college of lore maybe yeah I could see that because he is kind of yeah I think that makes sense I think he's like past level 20 though so maybe he has like I think he's dipped in like a ton of classes he's done a lot of dips he's definitely got a little rogue in there yeah he's spry yeah he's an assassin rogue obviously yeah he's got assassin rogue college of lore yeah that's a build that's a fucking build right there and he's also proficient in firearms that's cool yeah and vending machines his perception is really high because he did not drink the poison in the Coke bottle that turns you into a mutant. Whoa, spoilers for that. Spoilers! Sorry. Easy, dude. You'll have to buy the definitive edition. Coming to bookstores soon. Cutter Shinobi is on my Mount Rushmore. Emilina Axnova, this question is for you, from Steven. To Emily, as someone who is intimidated by the complexity of these particular spellcasters, what advice do you have from playing Fia, a wizard, in onyx a warlock oh the new warlock for 2024 i think is really good and you can really go in a lot of directions with how you uh play it yeah because instead of like now you can take like pact of the blade as a uh invocation so you don't have to like you it's basically like you you can really customize it um and i would say honestly all you really have to do is just like read the spells like set aside sometimes or read the spells and then sometimes i'll read the spells and imagine and almost like think like a dm and be like what's the situation that this would neutralize and you just kind of like get a little creative and if you do that like outside then once you're at the table it's kind of second nature i mean obviously not second nature you choose the wrong spells all the time you use them incorrectly all the time you're you're it's still like a lot of stuff to remember but like you just kind of um if you just like read it ahead of time out Because when you're at the table, you can't properly digest a spell the same. So just read ahead of time. I'd also recommend spell cards. When I was playing Beverly, I had a lot of like paladin spell cards. And it really helped me to be able to like kind of flip through them while we were playing. Yeah. So just to have them all like laid out before you, I found very helpful. We've really gotten away from that physical element. I know. That we need to bring back. Yeah. Sometimes I'm using D&D Beyond on like a phone or another device. and it's like I'm just clicking and I'm like getting lost sometimes. Yeah. Needing to remember how the website works instead of how the game works. Gotta get some new cards. It is true that if you just had barred cards, you would not have elf shots. So maybe there's something. Yeah, that is also true. I think there's like, I think having both is the right option. And I also, I want to print out my stat sheets more often because I write down my inventory on that. And if I add my inventory to D&D Beyond, I usually forget about all the random shit. Yeah. Whereas like when we're like playing, it's so in your favor to be like, oh, don't I have this thing and this thing and this thing? It's right on the same page that you look at your stack. I do think writing things down, like, cause I'll read things on D&D Beyond. And if I'm like, I want to remember to use this, I'll write it down in like a shorthand that I can understand better. I'll also shout out Field Notes. They make a nice little notebook that you can write in. It's like the perfect size. It doesn't like take up too much table space. If you've got like a tight little table that you're playing at, Field Notes. Let's say you're playing on a bedside table. Oh, yeah. Or a TV dinner stand. You and your friends are huddled around the TV dinner stand. Jake did have a solid like two years where he was playing on like lamp stands and shit. Oh, yeah. Just refused to get a desk. I was late to setting home my like COVID work from home office. Yeah. I guess I thought the pandemic wasn't going to last. I remember Jake had some rank roles during that period. I feel like the clank of the dice was not good. Because he had like a little metal surface on it. There was a long time where I was playing on a cabinet door on like balanced on a file cabinet. And I remember one time I crossed my leg and I kicked the entire thing over. I would just look at the file Jake sent me and there would just be like a warbling little thing for the whole episode. And I'd be like a cool puzzle for me to solve. before we even start. So you don't miss DMing? The DMing part's great. All right, we've got a question for the whole Raven lot. Nice. Cole G writes, big love to the two crew. Is there anything you guys do to get into the triplet mindset? They are quite different than most of the other characters on AdPod. Yes, they are. Sounded like a British announcer explaining the triplets. They're quite different from the regular lot. I honestly feel like it's, I don't think that I do anything to get into that mindset because I feel like once we sit down, like the first time that someone says something, like the instinct to react in the most insane way. It is just like your worst instinct. So anything you don't have to prep because you could just be like, what would the biggest asshole be? Right. And it's almost easier. Yeah, it is. Sometimes your first instinct is like selfish and negative and I'm just like, oh yeah, I'll go with that one. It's so fantastic to run as well because it's just like, I never have to worry about, like strangely you guys are like on the rails in a weird way with like how awful you are. Yeah. I can rely on gins to like pop an Ambien and drink some wine and mess up your travel time in a way where werewolves can ambush you. Yeah, exactly. There's also something to us being like such a bonded three that like we very rarely disagree. yeah once something once something has been like once the stakes have been set we will just pile on and just keep on drilling into it yeah yeah i think also if anything like it's it is easier because you know how like when someone says something and then it comes up in your head to like say the wrong thing like that's just like happens throughout life this is like the one situation where you get to indulge it yeah you know you don't have to like you know i don't second guess anything yeah well especially in barovia where it's just like shit is awful anyway yeah it's just like you guys asking for bed and breakfast constantly i'm like asking for buffets it's just like but that's not gonna phase anyone it's great you know it also is too it's like kind of like say the worst thing and then do the work to try and make it make sense right like it's like say say no to the person that you need to work with and then uh find a way that your no turns into you guys working together yeah find your own reason to need them yeah it's like yeah i'm i'm not interested in your idea but i do need you for something yeah yeah i would say that is the most impressive part about the triplets is the backflips to be like they will climb the mountain and fight the dragon yeah but it will be to steal the horde that the dragon stole from the village but you can still tell a story with that that is why i love them so much because they're so like portable like you want to just kind of take the worst person you know and put them in every single situation and uh place and ultimately in that story i think they would like just steal some of the money and that would be like the nice uh ending right would be them being like you know what we really what's the difference between you know 10 million dollars and 15 million dollars we'll just take the 10 let's leave a 12 tip yeah yeah you know what is i think that is why they're so portable because the way we play it like neither our characters nor us as players think that we are the main story. So we are just happening in the background of a more beautiful story, which means that we're never the heroes. So we don't have, you know, like we can kind of like hop in, disrupt, accidentally help and then get out. There's almost like a... It's always kind of a grift. Yeah. It's almost like a Mystery Science Theater 3000 thing going on where like you guys are in the foreground and the story's happening on the screen. Yeah. It's beautiful. It's just this beautiful comedy layer over everything. Indeed. All right. I've got another question here for the Raven lot from Big Natural Ones. Whoa. Nice name. Or Big Natural Ones like a natural one. Big Natural Ones at the TGI Fridays. If you had a magic D20 that could be rolled to determine the outcome of mundane everyday events, would you roll it? Do you think it would improve or worsen your life? For example, driving to work, projects, making meals, et cetera. This is click two. This is click two. What the fuck happens in Click 2? Remember, Click has the magic. What happens in Click? You're the one that... No, no, no. I said, what happens in Click 2? Okay, what happens in Click 2? Oh, you're saying... Oh, sorry. You're saying... I thought you were saying... I understood is Murph. Is Murph confused about something? I thought it was Click sequel 2. That's exactly... So I thought what you were saying is, this is the plot of Click 2. But you're saying this would be the plot of Click 2. I'm saying we have a golden opportunity here. Got you. Which is right click two. Okay. Because in click one, he's got a magic remote that can fast forward through life events. But he remembers that that's when life happens. Definitely. We all know this. We all know what happens in click one. It's click two that we're confused about. But now I get it. Click, click two. Very good. Yeah. We'll have saliva there. I would turn this down so I don't want anything to do with this. It would ruin my life. tempting animals. I want to see how my drive home from work is going. Oh, God, I hate it. That's an eight, and that sucks. That's just a little traffic, I think. Yeah. I don't want to roll a nat one on a drive. I honestly think your drive home is going to be like a six. Wow. I have to pick up my dog, so it is going to be a six. I have to go way out of my way. I'm going to see how my dinner is going to be tonight. It's a seven. No food points. This sucks. I hate it. Like, you already, we have already shown that it's detrimental. So a thing about life is that, like, mostly you do want consistency. Uh-huh. Like, as far as drives, right? You don't want drives to be, like, wildly successful or unsuccessful. Yeah. You want to get to your fucking destination. I don't need my drive to work to be a nat 20. Exactly. A nat 20, I think, looks like you're going and there's just, like, a food truck that's like, what's up guys free red bulls and free burgers all right sorry i can't eat right now i'm getting roadhead yeah while you're getting roadhead wow and there's no traffic at all and you hit every green on the way there you're giving people are just blow jobs at the sit people are tossing freaking breakfast yeah i gotta be honest i also don't want this because i just want to save my luck for things i care about too and like in that one is you crash right like you fucking crash i imagine crashing one out of every 20 times I'm so far out of this idea next question I hate it two is a popped tire can we move on from car stuff I want tens across the board and then every once in a while I want to roll the net you know what tens across the board but you know what I mean If I'm having like a coffee in the morning, I just I don't need it to be the most experimental fucking coffee of all time. I need it to be what I expect. Well, I think a nat 20 is just always you're getting head while you. Yeah. Like a nat 20 at a coffee. You're getting head. All right. Yeah. It tastes good. It's like a macchiato, but you're getting freaking domed. So, yeah, that's pretty good. I talk about a cream topper, right, guys? Oh, my God. What? Just imagining like what would a nat one like persuasion check like you just horribly offend people all the time. I hate this. I hate this. Get it out of my life. What's a nat one on your coffee? My freaking palms are sweating. I don't even know that I want this option. I wouldn't even want it in the if it was like in the background and I could just like elect to do it. I think it would just be like a cursed thing. I think a nat one on a coffee is that you accidentally spill. You get fucking poisoned. You know, you spill scalding hot coffee on the person giving you head. Oh, yeah. So you're getting a blowjob on a one or a 20. There it is. Yeah. Yeah. And the other one. Yeah. Either way, you're getting head, but one that just goes disastrous. Well, actually, you burn them and then they chop you. And yourself. And yourself. And you burn yourself. And I don't think like you even get any pleasure from it. I think they're like, they're offering. They're like, ooh, maybe a little blowy blowy for you. Well, when they say it like that, of course not. Yeah. I'm sorry. If somebody offered me a blowy blowout, I'd be like, thanks, but I'm already getting hit. I just rolled an at one. That is a nat one proposition. So no to this. Absolutely no to this. I think it's a pass for everybody. Makes my skin crawl. Yeah. But it will be great for click to click clack Yeah that true I was so confused when you said that We do have another question for the Ravenlot from one William Blankenship Would the two crew ever consider doing a NADPOD Extended Universe one-shot? The Grinch, the Peanut M&Ms on all fours, the Flintstones, Austin Powers, bringing in all the Extended Universe into one insane one-shot would be very fun. We did a Trial Tumble, which was a Royal Rumble. Oh, right. Oh, that's right. Over on the Mixed Bag. and that was really funny and that was a real fun way to do it. I think maybe we'll just do a toy all tumble in the future. It's a good format. Yellow M&M was there. I simply don't know enough about all of these characters. A lot of these characters exist to me only in what I've absorbed through Mad Pods so I couldn't even do them justice. I don't know who Stitch is without being Gen X. I don't know Stitch that isn't Gen X. And Pooh as a boomer. I wouldn't want to know a non-GEN X. Who knows what Pooh talks about, if not how bad the kids are. I know exclusively and extensively what Pooh talks about. But I will say that Boomer Pooh, you know, he's got that extra edge. Yeah. I think another fun format for this could be almost like a X-Men style danger room where like we create stats for these characters. And then like, do we kind of do this already with like, can they kill it? Yeah. The boobs against an astral dreadnought. Like putting characters up against one of these monstrosities. I think a battle royale is the best way to deal with this. When you talk about doing like NADD Pod shitiverse one shots and stuff, I think like the Donkey Kong stuff is strong because you're like, what's up? You are in Donkey Kong Country. Yeah, I was going to say. This is what we do in Donkey Kong Country versus being like, once you've got Gen X Stitch mixing it up with Fred Flintstone, you kind of lose some of that. Yeah. Unless you're at WrestleMania. Or there's like the 90s cartoon All-Stars just say no campaign. Yeah. But that was a one shot. Yeah, that did rock. That could have been a good guide for Mount Brushmore. Yeah. It's going back. Alvin. Alvin's not that cool. I'm sorry. Alvin is also, you have the Ninja Turtles probably. He's not as cool as Tommy Pickles. He's just not as fucking cool as Tommy Pickles. The Chipmunks are from the 60s, dude. Oh, that's true. They have a long tail. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Despite being Chipmunks. Muppet Babies, though, he could have done Baby Kermit. Baby Kermit. Baby Miss Piggy. Wow. Shit, we could have thrown Baby Miss Piggy. We could have put Baby Gonzo up there. Oh, Baby Gonzo? maybe the whole Mount Rushmore is all baby Muppets. Wow. That's a backup. Yeah, that's another one. Who's to say when we, I mean, I think that the real Mount Rushmore is a bit of an eyesore, if I'm being honest, I'll say it. Let's just turn it into cartoons from the 90s. Yeah, but also there's other mountains. Yeah, we could punch it up. There's other mountains out there. We could make new Rushmores. We can make new Rushmores. Why not? Whoa. I know there's a lot of reasons why not. Don't at me. And with that, I have a question for you, Murph. Are you ready to tease this next campaign? Yes, sir. This one is for IsMurf slash IsBrian. Kyle says, any news you can give on what the next campaign will be? Yes. We are going to be doing an arc called Gangs of Neo Galateron, which is a sort of Warriors-inspired cyberpunk campaign. I think it'll be around 10 episodes is what I'm guessing. But again, Warriors inspired. And the idea is that with the crumbling of mothership in Esri, there has been this runoff of illegal tech that is gathering in the ruins of Galateron slash old Cragwater built into kind of this like dystopian futuristic world that mothership runoff has begun taking over again. And so we are going to be following your guys, gang, and a bunch of other sort of fun rivals that you guys have had as Mothership is coming in trying to take over. I'm so excited. We're all playing Edgerunners. It's going to be awesome. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be sick. And the characters are going to be level six. A lot of them are multi-classing to give it sort of that like cyberpunk feel. You guys also have five extra feats. So you guys are going to really feel superhuman. We're chromed up, dude. so it's been so fun creating a character for this like i'm absolutely lost yeah do you guys want to talk a little bit about like what classes you're talking about what what classes you're circling yeah yeah i could bring it up like i can't commit okay well we can talk about like what you're thinking about like you're thinking about doing the uh path of the experiment barbarian yeah which is like sick that we talked about that over on like one of the short rests yes right i want to be a bodybuilder because i can't work out uh right now and it would be really awesome to play someone who's so jacked yeah jacked up but also like you're like injecting yourself with like serums yeah it's very bane coded yeah it's like you're injecting yourself when you rage to have extra stuff going on yeah so very cool and we are there like things that can go wrong as you're injecting yourself too like are you is there like wild magic i don't think i don't think it is i think we can i think we can assume that the path of the experiment barbarians don't live a full healthy life. But for the current battle, they're doing great. Sick. Yeah, the experiment is ongoing. Yes. Yeah, I remember loving that class when we discussed it. I'm thinking, I'm still circling a lot of stuff now, but I'm thinking about like a either rogue bard or like rogue wizard combo. Yeah. Because I want the ability to be like sneaky. I was talking to everyone about like playing the character that's like scouting out the turf, but also like marking the turf. Yeah. like uh holograms and stuff because i feel like you know everyone's turf has to be kind of like labeled here so in the same way you'd have like graffiti marks for like a gang in the real world maybe you'd have like uh like you know neon or like holograms everywhere so i think i'd be like almost the the optics guy so sick uh so that's that's what i'm thinking yeah uh and i'm think i'm circling artificer battlesmith with a level of fighter so kind of just like a a tinkerer type guy that's like working on mods and doing power-ups to all of his stuff i think you'll love that i've played a art um a battlesmith artificer yeah it's so fun and it really does feel like a fighter in a lot of ways yeah that definitely it feels like at least all of like the infusions i'm looking at are all like about buffing up my damage and like my weapons and my armor and stuff so it feels i want to be like you know a charger type guy yeah this is i mean we've already got like a good crew we've got like our our muscle our tech and our scout yeah yeah yeah and we're gonna do i'm gonna do some alternate rules like i in the past we've done stuff with like bev's amulet and like skills where you guys can use like a reaction get hit dice back we're gonna have like every turn you guys are gonna be able to when you get hit as a response to damage use a reaction to use up some of your hit dice so you get that like healing feel of like an altered human yeah so you guys will be all buffed up you'll have all kind of cool feats and I think it's gonna be real rad so sick and with that I think we're gonna wrap this one up you can head on over to our Patreon patreon.com slash nadpod that's N-A-D-D-P-O-D don't sing yet don't do it this time we're doing something fun as we've finished up Curse of Strahd we're gonna be doing Strahd stories so a little bit D&D court adjacent where we're going to be listening to some user submitted stories and commenting on them we've heard there's a lot of drama so we're looking forward to that yeah in the meantime we've got some things to plug we've got some live shows coming up see us at sydney opera house in australia that is on march 16th and then we're going to be at radio city music hall in new york on april 10th you can get tickets to both of those at nadpod.com slash live get them oh also uh Murph and I and I were on Um Actually.
