#naddpod — Public Fediverse posts

@maloki I started by watching Brennan's explainer of where to start on YouTube. Based on how I already listened to #Naddpod I watched fantasy high season 1 first and loved it.

Had a great time running #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords yesterday.

The party had to do some exploration in an enormous colosseum. Instead of just having them make search rolls for their quarry, I turned it into a series of luck rolls. I think it was:

1-6, they ran into roving bands of enemies
7-12, nothing
13+, they closed the distance

They needed 5 successes to find the boss. Each throw took about an hour.

I did this to help them wear down their resources to make the final fight more interesting and let me describe the progress of exploring this frigid, collapsing arena as the day wore on and to help simulate the scale of that huge place.

They ran into one band of enemies before finding the big bad. Funny enough, it was the ranger who had the most successes.

It felt like a very successful experiment. I wouldn't have though of it if it wasn't for listening to #NADDPOD and hearing Murph's encounters.

#TTRPG #GMLife

I genuinely enjoy listening to actual play #DnD podcasts like #NADDPOD and #ThreeBlackHalflings, but I really don't care for Dungeons & Dragons 5e itself. (I'm also not a fan of how it limits the number of skills players have and limiting who gets extra melee attacks, but that's a whole different thing)

There are too many feats and powers for my liking and I hear a lot of talk about builds and min/maxing characters.

That's my least favorite part of the game. Give me a simple game to work out the person I'm embodying and let me loose.

The less I have to search through a character sheet looking at all the options, the happier I tend to be.

Note: I am NOT disparaging that particular playstyle. It just doesn't tickle my fancy.

#TTRPG #GMLife

I just finished the latest issue/session of my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG for my players. This is the penultimate session of the trade/campaign. I love getting to use comic book terminology to describe the game.

The NPC sister of the alien catgirl player has been moving in the background, trying to take out the heroes and their parents. It's a whole thing where the player's character ran from her arranged marriage to another dimension. The team decided the best way to flush out the sister was to stage an award ceremony, trying to draw her out into an open conflict.

Instead, the players had to deal with a building that was struck by a meteorite flung by a mass driver and another, larger one flung at the parent's spaceship. They had to split the team and defeat both threats at the same time.

It was a blast to run. I've been listening to a lot of #NADDPOD and pulled some tricks I learned listening to Brian "Murph" Murphy run his games. I think it really elevated the encounters.

I love the emotional high after a well run session. My players are absolutely awesome.

#GMLife

omg! new #NADDPOD campaign?? I'm still in the middle of c3 but omg!!!!

I'm no good at art but I had to see if this could be done, and DALL-E did not disappoint. Prompt (based on #naddpod D&D Court from 29th September 2023*): "Tyrannosaurus Rex bodybuilder with abs"

Any naddpoles out there? #NADDPOD #dnd

I listened to Emily Axford’s primer on #Pathfinder 2e as compared to D&D 5e on #NADDpod, and now I so badly want to play a pathfinder game. I really might just find another virtual group on roll20 since I’m planning on living like a home goblin for the foreseeable future.

tfw you're trying to explain bon frère behaviour to your parents.
#naddpod

Since I've watched all of the Critical Role there is to watch, and (almost) all the Dimension 20, obviously I'm done with D&D storytelling and want something new.

Just kidding, starting on #NADDPOD from the beginning.

yes i like the ship hardshine from #naddpod because they are t4t ace4aro queerplatonic and absolutely no one can change my mind. also of course i have a crush on emily axford. who doesn't.

Hi! ​:pixelcatroll:​ I'm Kal, a queer filipino with chronic Just-A-Lil-Guy-ism. If I must be perceived I'd like to be thought of as "good uncomplicated company", but honestly I might be unhinged? I'm prone to making text walls and playlists when I have brainrot. I enjoy talking to new people about the things we care about, and I love to rage as much as I love to hope.

Expect a lot of boosting, mundane posting, and fandom excitement. Interact with me 🔪

#HowToBeFine used to be called #ByTheBook is good. I've only heard episodes here and there, but they take a self help book and live by it and then do a book report on what works & what doesn't.

Haven't heard the new stuff though.

I can also recommend #NADDPod It's a live play D&D show. It's a lot of fun & they have multiple campaigns they've played if you like a big backlog to enjoy, but their humor can get very NSFW, in a dumb, childish way.

I only discovered #NADDPOD (Not another DnD podcast) about a year ago so had literally tens of dozens of episodes to catch up on. I'm almost completely caught up now and the thought that I'll have to wait for the next episode to be released is haunting me. #dnd #ActualPlay #DungeonsAndDragons

Is there a #dimension20 or #naddpod faction over here?

I used to read before bed; these days I play #Boardgames on Board Game Arena while listening to #naddpod episodes with my sleep timer on, or watch a few minutes of #dimension20. I'm sure I'll cycle back to reading eventually.

I've always found it pretty easy to go to sleep, because, as I now realize, I intuitively know the exact amount of stimulation my #neurodivergent brain needs to be blissfully comfortable. It may not be other people's version of #SleepHygiene but it works for me.

Okay, intro post. I’m Emily. She/her. 32. Mostly reading a lot of #lesfic, #sapphicbooks and (occasionally writing) #fanfic these days. But I also delve into #dnd various #ttrpg #dimension20, #criticalrole, #compelleddual, #naddpod, etc. While occasionally still reading and enjoying #comics #superheroes #fairytales and a million other #fandom things like, but not limited to: #rwby, #ALeagueOfTheirOwn, #dragula, #TheLockedTomb series, and most things with a whiff of #wlw or #queer characters.

Okay so my wife and I are having an argument after the most recent #naddpod mixed bag. What color are health potions?

Should I stay up all night tomorrow to watch the livestream of the finale of Naddpod? I really want to but I don't want to be so tired that I'm unable to pay attention
