Man I finally caught all the way up to NADDPOD and what a ride I've been listening to it while in the car or travelling somewhere since like.. before the pandemic. Definitely a bittersweet moment. All the campaigns are great, duck team fuckin sucks, honestly dunno if I could pick a favorite. Though, I think even after all the years of content I've listened too, I dunno that they've really ever topped the answering "chicken" moment in terms of how hard I've laughed at the podcast. God that moment was the funniest thing

tsob posted:I'm disappointed there doesn't seem to be any clip of that on YouTube; which episode was it again. I kind of want to listen to it again, now that you've reminded me of it. Just the pause before Murph says "...chicken" knowing that he's immediately hosed is great. After a little bit of digging (because it's like.. weirdly not anywhere tbh) it was apparently Episode 55. Now I gotta go listen to it as well

seaborgium posted:That conjure animals one was really good, it was a low level spell like faerie fire or something, if I remember right. It didn't even do damage, or just a tiny amount but it gave the players a decent advantage so Thiala had to make sure it didn't happen. Iirc they were casting just basic polymorph in a section that was supposed to be an aerial battle. So once the enemy ran out of legendary resistance she polymorphed the mount and dropped him out of the sky

NieR Occomata posted:I finally caught up to this podcast, and it’s the version of TAZ I always wanted it to be and kinda only was during the balance arc. Hot Boy Summer is I think unironically my favorite of the new shorter campaign structure. And it definitely might be my favorite overall as well

Rip_Van_Winkle posted:it's this, in all the side content, she's says she loves crunchy systems, character building, etc. She's mentioned a few times how crunchy TTPRG systems with a lot of moving parts just light her brain up. The first episode of their new side series reporting on non-5E RPGs, Behind the Screens, is Emily presenting on Pathfinder 2E to the others. She doesn't have time to research or cover everything, but still does a good job going over as much as you can in an hour. It's great, there's never been a couple hours of audio more laser targeted at me, specifically. If people think her characters are too overpowered in DnD I can't wait for them to see what bs you can get up to in pathfinder (though I've only played the games which are 1E so maybe it's toned down in 2E) I like that NADDPOD pretty much follows the rules of the game, while allowing for rule of cool and some smoothing over the edges for an audio medium. I love a few other actual plays that are very fast and loose with the rules, but those are more driven by the characters and there's no real tension in the gameplay. NADDPOD is a happy medium that I think works really well. Whereas critical roll is mega crunchy which also seems like it wouldn't really work if you couldn't see the board and the miniatures and stuff, plus while I love the NADDPOD crew I think listening to them shop for like 50 minutes would be pretty hard to follow

Xand_Man posted:After listening to the new Triplets adventure I went back and listened to the Merry Metal Mayhem 2-shot I haven't actually listened to trinivale yet, but it sounds like it needs to go up next if/when I catch back up since everyone seems to be really into the new live one. I understand it starts a little bit rough, but is it bad enough that I should jump forward a bit?

There's funny moments in critical role, but it can't be emphasized enough just how much more crunchy it is due to the live nature and therefore lack of editing It's for sure not for everyone. I mostly enjoy it, but I also have to be in the right mood so I don't watch it super often. It's also just insanely long

A decent chunk of actual play podcasts really, really hate the concept of dice rolls failing and I think it shows. Failures happening and throwing a wrench in the players plan/complicating things/taking things in a new direction is what makes dnd and actual play stuff interesting imo

docbeard posted:Mavid is basically Fantasy Buster Bluth and yes, Jake is completely killing it, easily his funniest performance since Tread. Dang that's high praise, I need to listen to this mixed bag I guess I've been making my way through the trinnyvale episodes since I caught up to the main podcast and I've been enjoying it a bunch The first few episodes are definitely a little rougher (especially since they're also just pretty old at this point), but it's for sure picking up. Just got to the nightclub

TL posted:I can’t remember the last time anything made me laugh as hard as Hardwon trying to distract the Chosen with milk. Holy poo poo was that funny. There's a moment in.. I think it's in the late 30s for campaign one that is the hardest I think I've ever laughed at a podcast Can't wait for you to get there

TL posted:I don’t think anything has come close to making me laugh as hard as the stuff with Hardwon and the milk, but for some reason, Moonshine’s conversation with Pendergreens as she’s hurtling into the eighth circle of hell was almost at that level for me. Pendergreens is great, honestly your posts are making me really wanna go back and re-listen to season 1. there were so many good bits

HoboTech posted: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. Yeah I just listened to this one recently and it's really started to take off. The characters are just so great

scary ghost dog posted:addressed in this video https://youtu.be/0iZHriEhbns?si=uZX64xT1R2tWAFj4 I don't think I've ever seen pictures of the cast and man it feels really, really weird seeing them. Then again I always feel that way about people where I've heard their voice a million times but never seen them, it feels like.. uncanny somehow I guess

Awkward Davies posted:My friend, there is so much Dimension 20 for you to go watch. I've heard really good things about dimension 20 but never seen it, I gotta try it out eventually though Also I think I've only ever seen a handful of collegehumor sketches? Idk it was never really something I followed for whatever reason. So I guess I might've but I definitely don't remember it I suppose?

Olanphonia posted:I think it might come down to the McElroy team doing so many podcasts and the naddpod team mostly just focused on one or two total. Gives them more time and space to really focus on good materials. I think I've mentioned it in both this thread and the McElroy thread, but it's also a huge difference in philosophy. There's been a few times where the McElroy's have talked about how they see the dice rolls as getting in the way of the storytelling sometimes (though apparently the newest season has gotten better?), whereas the NADDPOD crew have talked about the dice sometimes having their own story to tell and embracing the chaos that can bring

Hank's jean jacket is definitely an all-timer bit I do think Season 2 was a little bit worse than S1 and S3, but man when it hits it really hits
