I'll be honest, I'm still only vaguely sure I understood the actual overall plot of Trinyvale but the episode where they're stuck in a trapped simulation of their shared apartment is still one of my favorite things they've ever done

Yeah, i never even finished Trinyvale, i zoned way the gently caress out during the part where everyone was playing Caldwell's NPCs but the one shots are stellar. I've listened to those multiple times.

I’m on episode 2 of Trinyvale now and Caldwell is much improved already, plus the voice he’s doing for Otto is killing me. If this campaign is just an excuse for Caldwell to do a ton of silly voices I’m on board.

TL posted:Enjoying the characters and goofs so far, but with Caldwell’s shaky DMing Trinvyvale is a real departure, at least early on. about halfway through they start doing it weekly for the rest of its run and figure out what the campaign actually is: no serious plot or actual character drama, but instead Always Sunny In Trinyvale as the pc's become worse and shittier and more codependent

The episode where everything really starts to take off for me is the cooking contest for the cave entrance. After that point it feels like everyone has figured out their characters and it's also one of my favorite Caldwell encounters.

I'm another one who gave up on Trinyvale's main run, but everything since with the characters has been gold. The metal city mayhem two-shot ,where they break Sonic the Hegehog's spirit, and the live pet show are some of my favourite things they've done

Definitely enjoyed episode 2 of Trinyvale more, but I think I do prefer Murph’s method of DMing a bit more than Caldwell’s. I’m going to move on to Hot Boy Summer and then Eldermourne but keep Trinyvale as an occasional palate cleanser.

Like others have said Trinyvale takes a little while to get going but once Emily, Murph and Jake settle into their characters and start enabling each other's bullshit it is absolutely hilarious. The Trinyvale X Bahumia episodes (Caldwell DMs the first arc of campaign 1 with Jens, Nyack and Onyx) had me in absolute loving stitches, the Triplets are just the absolute worst people.

If you like naddpod, you will like dimension 20, you’ll pretty quickly see how naddpod was inspired by it. Brennan is a hell of a DM, too. No sleight intended against Murph, he’s a heavy weight too, but you can see where he gets it from And yeah I would have never guessed how swole Caldwell is

But if a Brennan home game was the inspiration for both shows I still consider myself to be more or less right

Really digging Eldermourne so far. The voice Murph was using for the ghost of Sebastian Fenrose may be the most hilariously irritating one I’ve heard him use so far.

I took the plunge and signed up for the Patreon. I wasn’t sure where to start with Short Rest, so I decided to just start where I was in the campaign (episode 7 of Eldermourne). If Short Rest is what I’ve heard so far (occasionally discussing the campaign but mostly just goofing around), then this was a bargain. I’m so enjoying it.

It’s gotta be one of the best values in podcast subscriptions out there yeah, it’s crazy what you get for just 5 bucks. I moved up to the 10 dollar tier but accidentally marked all my episodes as played so I no longer have any idea where I left off listening to mixed bags, I should see if someone put together a feed just for those or something. I’m sure some nerd must have Some of the tangents they go off on are as memorable as anything they’ve done in the campaign, I think Emily is just a chaos angel in real life

I went back to listen to the one-shot in Kongo Bongo Land, and it may have been the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. There were times what Murph was saying was so dumb, he couldn’t get it out without laughing. 10/10, no notes, will listen every Bananksgiving.

Yeah absolutely get the 5/mo tier if you have the budget for it, they could be charging double and I’d still say it would be worth it. Short rests have some of the funniest bits of the show in them Also the parts where they actually talk about the episode are interesting and insightful but the goof energy is unparalleled

I was worried I’d miss Caldwell while he went on paternity leave, but Jabari is absolutely incredible. I was sold the moment the sorceress turned into ravens and flew off, and his first thought being “Jabari had done a good thing!”. Plus, Emily and Jake are doing a great job playing off of him. Really digging this arc

Really digging this arc Yeah, Lou Wilson absolutely stole the show during that arc. Like, on some shows a guest showing up and absolutely overshadowing the main cast could have been a problem but everyone was clearly having an absolute blast so it worked out. Jake also goes away for paternity leave later, but it's after they've dropped to a saner "one campaign episode every two weeks" schedule and they were able to record a bunch of episodes in anticipation, so he's really only absent for some of the short rests and off-week episodes.

This is pretty much the only actual play podcast I listen to where the off weeks aren't a little disappointing. D&D Court is almost more fun than the main campaign.
