How would you even know? Some of them already sound made up. The cast have even outright said that they don't know whether to believe a couple of them, and that they sound made up.

The cast apparently can't, since while they've doubted a few they've never been able to tell for definite.

yea the obvious fakes don't make it but it seems like they don't really have an interest in going 'eeeh this may be fake, better not include this entertaining story we can make fun jokes off' just because 'blastin grandma' owns too hard to be real

When I realized 3/4 of the new episodes are Travis, in a bad french accent, talking boring poo poo with Griffin I checked out. Snooze fest. At least NADDPOD is consistently funny.

I'm a few episodes behind, but Murph doing everything he can to make Grimmy an evil dickhead the characters hate as they all try their best to set him up with Emily's short play character was great; especially for Emily's peals of laughter every time Murph just refused to make him likable (at least, beyond the background level he normally does), while the big bad character was a mostly pragmatic animal lover.

this ep: emily's repeatedly mentioned that she's getting so tired of the 5e spell list, especially at lower levels, after playing it so much and murph giving her a shitton of homebrew spells from old editions as her big reward for this is extremely considerate and nice

I got a feeling That Fia is the actual sister of Cyriaca, Cyriaca's gonna die, and Fia is going to have to Sacrifice herself to open the passage to Elysium.

I wasn’t a big fan of the latest episode. It seems like they’re rapidly accelerating to the finale, and instead of gradually revealing a lot of these plot twists and revelations, they were just thrown out in a big plot-dump. Instead of telling us Irina and Moxora are sisters, show that. Instead of telling us they the gods dipped out, show us. It also seemed convenient that Zirk managed to find the formula he had been looking for in a random book.

Yeah I'm done with TAZ. Never got far in to graduation and Ethersea is a slog. It's mostly Travis' fault. He's just the worst.

NADDPOD is consistently great even though I don't like how much they talk over eachother. I get that the manic energy works well but it stresses me out sometimes.

Now Rude Tales of Magic, that's a perfect show.

yeah the pacing feels all over the place. they've barely just become blades, and now it's feeling pre endgame? I know they wanted a shorter campaign but we'd still be in Frost wind in the Bahumian arc.

Some of the character work has also felt a little forced. Caldwell, the one who struggles most with defining his character, ended up really going around with his mom in his arc. The Henry stuff has been pretty slight comparatively but worked well, especially Zerk loving up and letting his sons real name slip, but Murphy coming right out and saying his ex-wife wasn't a good person felt strange.

And I honestly struggle to give a poo poo about Irina or bookvar or most of Fias support squad.

I'm also not wild about the cosmology of the world.

I noticed today that I'm really falling behind on NADDPod, since Murph just put up a notice on Patreon that the final two episodes are taking a while to edit. I'm still about 10 episodes behind, with them fighting the guardians using temporary characters since the party is split. What level are they are at at this point? I'm assuming they're not going to reach 20, but I can't even recall off-hand what level the cast are where I'm at, never mind what level they are now. Have they said anything yet in the Short Rests I haven't listened to about plans post Eldermourne? Whether there'll be a new season at all (presumably/hopefully), what kind of setting/tone they want for this one, presuming it happens, how long a break they'll be taking, what kind of content they hope to do in the meantime etc? I'm hoping in thinking about it quickly that Jake DM's a short show akin to Emily's Hot Boy Summer, but I don't know how much he wants to DM "on camera", so maybe it'll be Caldwell or Emily again.

On the whole I enjoyed Eldermourne. I kinda got confused about who was who in terms of the secondary characters, and the goals of the bad guys, and just in general the world was a less clear than Bahumia for me. I'll probably re-listen to the whole thing at some point. Some of hte earlier arcs were a lot of fun, and I think the stand-alone funniest moment in the series for me (outside of Hexbloods) was the giant throwing poo poo at them on the mountain.

I actually really appreciated the multiple characters in the final arc, having the Hexbloods come back, and what felt like high stakes for the PCs throughout.Lou being there for the final ep was also fantastic.

I had trouble keeping characters straight too, but that was also a problem I had with Bahumia.

Per last night's Short Rest, sounds like Campaign 3 will be coming in roughly February.

Also sounds like they have plans to do more stuff in Eldermourne at some point.
