(Random)but couldn’t Hardwon live forever if he just licked the free fey lollipops whenever he got old. That’s my head cannon to not be sad about him dying and Bev and moonshine practically living forever

Sabrina Bernaby

What will it take to get Jake to read the letter? Also Caldwell what is your fav part of dming for this group?

Aidan Lowe

Follow-up: Trinyvale has made me crave Butterfinger BBs, but they were discontinued in 2006. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!

Bonky Fiasco

Will Obsidian ever benefit from speech therapy?

Bonky Fiasco

What are your recommendations for good group storytelling? Emily is lauded for her ability to womp her DM, Caldwell's voice acting is prime, Jake's comedic timing is impeccable, and Murph... Ole Cobb said it best, "you couldn't write a story better than this." How do you take your talents to the game? A second question is how do all four of you balance together so you don't step on each others' toes? In games I've played, the people with big personalities often end up taking over the campaign, almost like they're the main character. How do you balance this? Lastly, Caldwell: how do you do your robot voice. Please. Share your secret. It's so good.

I'm not entirely caught up with Trinyvale yet so I can't ask anything pertinent to the show, but how have you been?

Samuel Benhardt

Hi Caldwell- is Circuit City Metal City? Is Trinyvale a part of the sonicverse?

tacticalgrandma

Did you know the DM of “dungeons & daddies” said Murph was probably* hot :)

Oscar de la Garza

Caldwell, Im very interested in how you made Cash's, and the other members of the Trine's stat block

Timmy Roelant

How much of the campaign did u have set up before you started

Caldwell, How do you do the voices? Do you have a modifier you use live, or do you do that in editing?

Zachary Snow

BLEASE tell me that Jens full name is NOT Jensitals,,,, Lexana has TWO beautiful boys and their names are Nyack and JENNIFER

irlmagicalgirl

For all: We all know that the Triplets aren't the most moral people, but was it ever a possibility that they become full evil and like Murph joked, use the power of the gods to take over the cube? Also, would any of you want to play an evil PC in the future?

Jake, how do you feel you’ve changed as a dnd player from the very first episode of Bahumia to now? How has it been playing dnd exclusively on a comedy podcast? (emily, murph and caldwell feel free to jump in on this, I just directed it to Jake bc he’s only played dnd on this podcast)

Margaret Smith

Jake, do you regret playing a ranger?

Hey BoB, Does playing a bunch of conniving sociopaths make you want to try an evil or villains campaign? Love thr show! Thanks! I'll take my answer off air

Aaron Harris

For Caldwell : I loved the Gods of Trinyvale, and I was wondering what it was like to create a pantheon! When did they solidify while creating the world ? Trinyvale was so so fun, very excited for the summer campaign!

Nour

Caldwell and Murph, what do you admire about each other DMing styles? What do you think the other can improve on?

Sebastian Lecha

Caldwell, can you run through your encounter-building process? Your encounters for Trinyvale were very inventive and flavor-true and new DM’s could certainly benefit from insight on how to deviate from the normal goblin/orc/dragon fights. <3 you all!

Kronch wants to know when we will hear from the triplets again. it very important to Kronch

OtherJason

We know who the triplets are as the cast of Friends, but who would be who if the triplets were in the cast of Seinfeld (the superior show). Love the pod, keep it up!

Ryan Gallagher

Murph, how did you manage to make a person like Jens so likeable?? I grimace whenever he does anything, but it always comes with a laugh! Emily, was it hard to maintain the accent? Jake, not a question, but I love Nyack so much! Caldwell, was it hard trying to keep up with all of the shenanigans?? It was really impressive how you could just go with the flow every time hahaThank you so much to all of you for a great campaign!

Simple and sweet, what was everyone's favorite moment? ...OR, if each Trinyvale character was a brand of chip, what kind would they be? Thx Duncle!

thedragonllama

I hope it’s not to late but a question for Emily. Why wasn’t obsidian use more in the campaign?

Brian

Question for Caldwell: What npc if any did you connect with the most over the campaign?

Lucas Lockie

What are some other campaign themes and styles you'd like the party to try some day? I know Murph and Emily have already played some modern world/real world style settings with Brennan. Modern NADDPOD? Dystopian, Horror, Academy, all one race, all one class, Futuristic, etc.? Also Tri-Onyx Battle Squad Spin-off?

Caldwell, how's it feel to get fuckin whomped? And what thought went into balancing the Cash encounter beforehand? Emily, how does it feel to have your friends daughters look exactly like you? Jake, can I get a Nyack-Falling sound? And I want to give an early rose out to Murph for Jens being one of my all-time favourite characters - my favourite is either him or Rat Jesus.

Ryan Lithgow

will we ever see a band of boobs/triplets crossover? id love to see hardwon and jens hubris compete

Caldwell, how much chaos were you anticipating for this campaign just in general? Were expectations met, subverted, exceeded?

Casey Lee

What do you think would be the class that you’d all have the most difficulty playing and why?

When is Jake going to dm??

The Mixed Bag last month actually revealed the characters already!

Her Majesty, Claudette

Did any of the players ever actually experience character growth?

Was it just me or did anyone else expect the hidden god at the end to be rian urphy?

Fuck, marry, kill: Blavin, Kenny, Keychain

Barbie Pootsky

Do you guys plan on having another Caldwell ran campaign running parallel to the "main campaign" after Trinyvale finishes? Maybe also an Emily campaign? I loved Trinyvale so much I'm need something to fill its void.

When are we going to get campaign 2??

Rachel

This is by far my favorite d&d podcast. What is the plan for Emily's campaign? What are some character idea's you guys are having?

InsertName

What is something that y'all have learned from doing performative D&D that you've taken back to your home campaigns?

Charles Johnson

What’s one thing that you wish you could change about a choice you made in Trinyvale that you regret?

Nicholas Badtke

Not really a question, but when you mentioned mercurio having all the souls around him I pictured that cauldron that had all the souls in a pony doo monster island

Compared to how your characters started out, do you feel they have ultimately grown as better people or somehow regressed into a worse version of themselves?

For Caldwell, was there ever an item you knew was overpowered but so fun you regret not adding it?

Grnt

For Murph: you’ve talked before how much you love to be crunchy and serious about DND, how was it leaning into the absolute silliness of Trinyvale?

Andy Branton

Direct Messenger and Dunkle: have you ever planned a big reveal only to accidentally spill the beans at the wrong moment? How do you keep straight secrets your NPCs are keeping from the PCs?

Question for Em: what did you think of the music for trinyvale? And can you share anything about the music for the next campaign? Themes, new instruments, whatever!

Caldwell, did you reference any stat blocks when building Cash? Lots of legendary monsters have a legendary action option that allows them to take their full movement, possibly standing up from prone, which might have prevented the womping somewhat. Do you think you might incorporate these "boring" abilities in the future, or do you want to replace them with something flashy and ridiculous that does something similar?

Melon Bread

Who's the better grifter, Onyx or KT?

What was the hardest improv moment for you Duncle?

Triplets: if you had another arc of Trinyvale, what would you want in it? How could you see your characters growing? Caldwell: if you had another arc what would you add in?

Lucas Dahmm

What was everyone’s favourite moments and choices made by other characters?

Were there any moments where you felt your Bahumia characters accidentally came through?

Wyatte Copeland

Hey Dunc! Are there any Bahumia or Drawga Easter Eggs that the players and/or fans don't know about? Players if you couldn't be the race or class you chose for your characters, what would you be?

Dre W.

Question for Murph: Did it feel good whomping on the final boss of Caldwell's campaign like you got whomped in the main campaign?

Caldwell, was Trinyvale a, more or less, modern setting when you first envisioned it? Or did that develop later?

Billie Turner

Sooo where was the plan to “make a zip line park” when it was all over?

Dylan Irish

For Caldwell: do you wish you had more than 22 episodes for Trinyvale? What ideas were 'cut for time' or just cut that you were thinking about doing but didn't?

Sterling Smith

I really enjoyed all of the alternative combats you came up with, Caldwell. It was a great way of injecting unique and exciting opportunities for the players. Did you have any other "alternative combat" scenarios that you had considered but ultimately didn't go with?

Con

Not a question, just a comment to Caldwell to say that your creativity truly knows no boundaries. It was genuinely impressive to witness how the Trinyvale saga developed and how you were able to create fun and unique encounters that were also challenging for the players. You're a great DM and getting even better each ep. Keep it up, love that for you!

Antoine Audy-Julien

Were the audio effects for some of the NPC voices all done in post? Could the triplets hear them as they played?

Sterling Smith

With Mercurio gone and the prince's vast wealth essentially at their disposal, do you think the triplets (or at least Onyx and Nyack) will invest in revitalizing the brand? I imagine there'd have to be some grift involved, so maybe the could move away from infecting others, but just selling BB's individually for the same price as a full bag?

Which Friends character are you all IRL?

Question for Murph: How long have you be planning for the Ice Simulacrum? Was the ice sculpture during the marriage meant to be a foreshadowing?

Rémi Maloney

What would it take to get Jake to DM?

Robert

I loved the silly tone of Trinnyvale. Is it difficult to constantly keep the jokes coming?

DMCDawg

Caldwell, How does it feel to have created a campaign from start to finish? What would you do differently a second time around/any advice to give for new DMs?

Chandler P

Question for Jake : you seemed to be having SO much fun in the Trinyvale saga. Your genuine laugh could be heard non stop throughout the episodes. What was the joke / funny moment that made you laugh the hardest? (p.s. Of course y'all can answer the question!)

Antoine Audy-Julien

Caldwell, what areas of DMing do you feel like you’ve progressed the most in during the Trinyvale campaign?

Do you guys ever feel bad when you whomp a major enemy super hard? Isn't it like watching your team absolutely destroy another in the Super Bowl, where it's cool, but you kind of want it to tighten up, just to make it interesting?

Sean L Byrne

Was Gold Obsidian’s voice based off of Zordon from Power Rangers?

My Names Mike

Caldwell, how did it feel to get whomped so hard

Steph

How early in did you know Coin was the main villain? Were Blavin and Z always working undercover, or was it a .... PIVOT?!?(friends joke)

My Names Mike

Did the siblings leave any big stones unturned, any trinyvale secrets just waiting to be discovered? And how tempted were the triplets/each of the players to try and assume power for themselves at the very end?

Erin Paxson

When’s the graphic novel comin out???!

Caldwell, what is something you learned from DMing the trinnyvale campaign that you wish you knew when it started? Thank you guys for creating some of my favorite content!

Caldwell, circa how big a percentege of the monsters in Trinyvale were homebrewed

Question for Murph: It's been said that you enjoy playing "grizzled old knights who just want to do their job". What was it like going against that for Jens? Was it liberating to play a more selfish character or difficult? Or both?

If you all had to run a game in an fictional world from a movie, book, tv show or game which setting would you choose?

Baron Trousers

Duncle Caldwell, what were your inspirations that inspired your campaign or even the game play mechanics?

Alex aka Zol Ark

Did you have any plans that you had to just scrap because of decisions the party ended up making?

chase johnson

Anyone - how do you think the band of boobs and retrieval team 22 would get along? What would they think of each other? And most importantly - would moonshine and onyx hook up?

Final Girl

@Duncle Caldddy, when you went from one campaign to the other, the boobs campaign was referenced (Paw Paw Gumps) but Trinyvale didn't see any old characters show up from Bahumia. Was that hard to not bring characters like Cobb or Cooter in for an episode? and was it a conscious choice to not reuse characters, or was it just too much fun coming up with all the new NPC's? Also loved the campaign I really appreciate you making it work through the pandemic, I'm an Electrician and driving to work on deserted roads felt better having the boobs or triplets to keep me company.

Dalton Cahill

Another question: who are your favorite DMs?

When writing the campaign, did you map out the entire campaign arc and leave some wiggle-room in there, or was each session conceived in response to the previous one? OR is it a bit of both?

Alara Sinnadurai Allum

Have you thought about other RPG systems besides 5e?

Dunkle Caldwell - is there a story thread or plot idea you had early on in trinyvale that you never ended up exploring?

Final Girl

Dunkle or Duncle or DM Amazing Pants? Spelling is important! x

The Sandreyan

can you go into detail about the classes the players were and all the extra stuff Caldwell gave them?

alternatively, for caldwell only: what was it like having players who spent most of the campaign actively avoiding character development?

remi patton-elias johnson

first question because i legally have to ask: will we ever get a one-shot based on jens and aster's wedding? it'd be so much fun. my actual question is: what was it like trying to hop back into trinyvale after having been doing it secondarily for so long? did it feel like you made different character choices later on then you did in the beginning?

remi patton-elias johnson

If the Triplets were to make a store for people to further buy into the social media empires they made, what would they sell and be named? For some reason I get strong Hot Topic vibes from the trio

Julian Johnson

This was such a wonderfully cinematic campaign — how do y'all pull that off without direct visual reference points available (save the apartment episode)? I can just envision this so clearly as a hilarious animated series! Also, happy belated birthday Emily!

Jake, if Jens had chosen to model the simulacrum after Nyack, would he have been proud and honored to be the inspiration or would he have become even more petty and jealous of his copy than he was of Onyx's when Jens started treating it like his son?

Vincent Wald

Was Jens’ parasite secretly @jenslyndellecomedy?

What would you recommend when trying to run a secondary campaign? Was there ever any issues with the two campaigns conflicting?

The Trinyvale campaign was much sillier than the Bahomia campaign. What do you think are the biggest factors in establishing the tone? To each of you: Do you prefer a full-silly campaign or a more serious-with-silly-frosting style (please excuse the weird metaphor)? What tone should we expect from the upcoming Mavris and the Party Boiz campaign?

Ash Hammack

caldwell, I loved the way you uplifted every character choice and in-joke by immortalizing it in canon. KT would not be nearly as funny if you didn't improv her tiny voice and ridiculous mcdonald's order. was this an intentional choice you made, or did you just kind of go with it?

jacob kessler

If Murph is the daddy DM and Caldwell is the Duncle, does that mean Emily is gonna be the Daunt? The Dousin? The Dep-Dister?

For all, if/when there is another campaign what races/classes are you all thinking about doing?

Would you guys ever consider doing something crazy like a short series, say 12-15 episodes, where each episode has it’s own standalone story and arch but has a overarching story and character progression ala Cowboy Bebop?

Samuel Jasek

Question for Duncle and the Triplets, if you could do a Trynivale Nannerfly-effect what events would you change and why?

Caldwell, you’ve come up with some of the most inventive and hilarious encounters I’ve seen in D&D. Are they any that you toyed with and decided not to do? Your Cooking MawMaw encounter is the finest.

Caldwell what did you most appreciate about the Bahumia camping after running a full campaign of your own ? Everyone what is your favorite thing about your Trinyvale characters vs your other characters ?

For Emily, what have you learned from Murph and Caldwell’s campaigns that you might use in your own campaign?

Tom Bruynell

Caldwell, was the landlord in Ep 16 a shoutout to Mr Roper?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Caldwell and Murph how do you feel now that both of you have been on both sides of being whomped by Emily? Excited for Hot Boys Summer!!

Orpheus

Now that the Three gods are mortal will they become roommates of the triplets?

Murph and Emily, you guys pulled off some impressive shit with your high-level spells/mystic arcana. In particular, I really enjoyed what you did with Symbol, Soul Cage and Simulacrum. Did you have any other big spells where you had plans but the circumstances were never right for them?

Robert Z.

Kind of a two pronged question: 1) how did it feel to play objectively awful and toxic people? And 2) was that always the intention to make it "It's Always Sunny in Trynidelphia"?

Jordan Suleiman

What's one part of the unique Trinyvale world that you'll miss in your next campaign?

Dani Sharkey

How did you make the Trinstagram stuff interesting, and will you ever post the rules for it?

Daniel Sattler

Had the campaign allowed for it, who else would you have liked to have on as a guest?

Agnitti

Can't help but feel like the final boss with many eyes was Julia subconsciously inspiring you. Caldwell do you have any specific sources of influence for the final boss or campaign in general? Absolutely loved this campaign can't wait for what's next ❤️

Stephen Tyznik

Caldwell! What would the super-powered Wish BB have done if they'd had to use it? And what will the triplets do with it now ?

Did the movie Walk Hard have anything to do with the creation of Hardwon?

For Caldwell, what characters took a turn you were completely not expecting that you just kinda ran with (ie. Norwalk being a super horny guy)

Tom Bruynell

Question for Jake: I loved Trinyvale (cudos Caldwell). Nyack is a personal hero of mine. However very disappointed not to have New Zealand represented in the podcast. Any plans to resurrect your beautiful kiwi accent? Love from Blenheim, New Zealand

Oliver Aughton

Not a question, but last week when 2 of my players last minute no showed, I ran your murder-trial encounter as a 1 off for the other 4. It went so well and everyone really liked the nonstandard encounter. thanks for being so creative in coming up with such memorable and unique encounters!

How are y'all such wonderful people????

Lizzie Tredinnick

For Caldwell: When designing the boss final encounter with Cash did you base his stats on an existing monster or create it from scratch? Btw thanks for all the laughs.

happy birthday emily!

H-Train

What type of character would you like to play that's outside of your comfort zone that you all have considered playing?

Frank

Will we see nannerfly effect at all for trinyvale?

Jeanne

For Caldwell, what was the thing you gave each of the triplets that you regretted the most in the final battle?

I love this campaign because Caldwell is just as chaotic as his players and is so willing to adapt to bits and goofs. For example, Trinyvale became a cube after Emily mentioned it as a joke. How did Caldwell manage to make such a flexible but also grounded campaign? Were there times when embracing chaos became overwhelming? Love you all.

Hope Chamberlin

Let’s say your Trinyvale characters meet your Bahumia characters in street fight, who’d come out on top? (Assuming they’re equally leveled and not actual demigods).

Murph did you made Frozonix 2 Olfa with the intention of them dying as a wait to show that Olfa should have stay dead in Frozen2?

Omar Mtz

Caldwell, what exactly went through your kind when Jens cast simulacrum for a second Onyx?

Robert McDaniel

What is each of your favourite running gags from the campaign as a whole?

@Murph At what point did Jens feelings toward Onyx and Nyack change from freeloading roommates to siblings

What type of character would any of you played in Trinyvale if any of the triplets were killed off?

What is a genre of campaign that you would like to play in most/dm for most? Why and what characters would you be excited to build?

Tonks

How would the final of battle have been had Katie and the other parasites have been present? Would it have changed the affection for the daughters? Would Onyx and Nyack have been distracting while trying to please them?

Kendra Waters

For Caldwell - throughout the campaign, whar was the most unexpected, funniest, or generally strangest way the triplets derailed your plans?

Shania F.

♡♡♡ What's the thing you learned most about each other during this campaign?

The grifters grift on! Was it strange to have PCs end up somehow even less noble than where they started? Or does the triplets' love for each other feel like the best growth for them, and fuck the rest of it? What do you think the Band of Boobs would think of the triplets now that both stories are finished? Also, just a side note, congratulations to Caldwell on an amazing first campaign!! I adored Trinyvale. Thanks y'all for all the laughs!!

Conrad Schaffer Vignati

Thanks so much for the fantastic campaign! I'm dming a one shot based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Any recommendations on classes or multiclassing?

What are your favorite and least favorite differences in DM style between Murph and Caldwell l?

Logan Klein

Love Trinyvale and NADDPOD as a whole so much that my friends and I are starting our first ever campaign in the next few weeks. I love the "rules-light" style that you guys play and has always seemed like the most fun to play. My question is, if I like this style of play, which rules and mechanics should I leave out as a DM to make the game more streamlined and story driven as possible?

charlie

Duncle, what part of the campaign do you wish the triplets had not strayed from/ skipped with shenanigans? What was supposed to actually happen instead?

Caldwell mentioned at one point the show was supposed to be 12 episodes so did we get an extended version of the original story or was major plot changed after the extension?

TheNoodleDoodler

Caldwell: What kind of changes did you make in planning when going from monthly to weekly? Were there any ideas you had that you didn't get to use?

Valori Waggoner

How does Nyack feel about getting the "finish them" almost every time?

Lizzie Tredinnick

Not a question but a request. Please more random anime references. Plus pauses for Jake's reaction.

Canid

Thanks for a hilarious campaign! Restarting at episode 1 tonight to get s friend hooked. Did you always know Keychain was going to get the golden God powers or could any of Crew 22 stepped forward? What would have happened if they did?

dan mac

Hey Caldwell! I just wondered if the lack of magic items for PCs was a concious choice or something that just didn't come up?

What were everyone's favorite encounters from the campaign ?!? There were so many fun and creative fights thank you Caldwell!!!

Caldwell and the Triplets, do you have a favorite session from the Trinivale campaign? If so, what made that your favorite (encounters, NPCs, goofs, etc.)? Caldwell, if you plan to run another monthly campaign, what type of adventure would you want to run?

Mason McCauley

When will we see the Bahumia/Trinyvale crossover?!

For the triplets; did you always plan on your characters to progress backwards morally? Or was that just a fun outcome.

Kaylie Elise

In honor of (belated) Emily day, what's everyone's favorite Emily D&D moment?

Did anyone dispose of all those tainted BB's?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Who's allstar #1 NPC in Trinnyvale?

For DMs, just for fun, how many notes do y'all have for your world's? I've got a homebrew that takes up about 2.5 gb of storage for all the info I need:)

Alice Azalea

To all: How do you all feel about your characters’ arcs in this campaign compared to the Bahumia campaign? To all: Also, what’s your favorite part of this campaign?

Elizabeth S

How much did the trip to the ER cost after that devastating whomping you received on behalf of the triplets?

Alexis R

For Caldwell, At what point did you decide to make the BeBes the main threat for the series? Was the idea there all along, or did the control device change from something more benign into the candies?

Maddy Leaman

If you could of added 20 more episodes to your campaign what would you had expanded upon.

Peter Lecy

Murph do you feel that as Jens became more open and accepting of Onyx, that he also adapted her grifter tendencies or that he was always a grifter at heart?

Vijay Maharaj

Hey y'all, I gotta know! What were GOOB and Cash's forms based on? What could they do that we didn't get to see?

What was your personal favorite running gag/theme during this campaign? Examples being Nyack saying "Brother" in different ways or excluding Jens from Onyx's trinstagram.

David Benson

When trinyvale was first announce Duncle Caldwell said it would be around twelve episodes (once a month for a year) was this always how it was intended to end or did you realize part way through that there was more that could be done in this world? Also, if not this, then what was the original ending going to be?

Sorry not Onyx's mom, Jens & Nyack's mom 🤦‍♀️

Chelsea L (0ffbeatt)

Hey Caldwell! What do you think is the biggest thing you learned from DMing your first campaign? If or when you run another, what's something new or different you'd like to try?

Good news! Trinyvale is getting made into a film, and you get to cast it! Who do you pick?

Retrieval Team 22 Tomb of Horrors? Just kidding! Were there any interesting differences in how you played/DM’d this campaign when you shifted from monthly episodes to weekly?

Caldwell! This campaign was so fun, it was cool to hear you get gradually more confident as a DM. How would you describe your dm-ing style and do you feel like it’s changed at all since your first session?

Marisa

For the triplets, did your characters personalities evolve in ways that were unexpected or contrary to the rough idea of your characters at the beginning of the campaign?

Alex Bonilla

What will you miss the most about the other PCs in Trinyvale?

Ben Delahay

Hi Dunkle! Was Coin's final form based on yaldaboth the big bad final God boss from persona 5? I got some serious vibes from his attacks Loved Trinyvale, thanks for a wonderful adventure everyone!

I GOTTA know... what would've happened on a failed jam point roll? Also: does Olaf die in Frozen 2?

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

Was Blavin always going to be a good guy with the golden iris, or did you decide to make him one after he proved to be so lovable and funny?

Blair the bugblair barblairian

Were you inspired at all by anime you've seen when constructing the overall Trinyvale story, and if so which ones?

Hey Caldwell, love your creativity, no matter the format. What's your advice for creating something like Cooking Maw-Maw: Scratching off the serial numbers off a combat encounter to achieve a nonviolent objective? And how to you keep DPS characters from completely sneak-attacking their way through something like that?

Nate Zabinski

When is Jake gonna DM???

Danley Staniels

Question For Dunkle Caldwell. Did the triplets take the story in a direction you didn’t expect that ended up shaping the world we know and love? And if so what was your favourite time?

Will Day

What was golden obsidian based off of?

Was it always planned to have the triplets subvert growth expectations/take a less traditional path on the hero’s journey or did that just happen naturally because of who these characters always were?

Caldwell, what was something unexpected you learned from DMing Trinyvale that you would carry forward into whatever campaign you run next? Emily and Murph, what is something that Caldwell did that inspired you to do something new or different as a DM? Jake, we gonna see you DM any time? How 'bout a one shot at least?

John Tanzer

Emily’s running a mini-campaign for the next few weeks, and then campaign 2 will start with Murph DMing!

Kestrel

Is Jens' next step in his ascension to power to ask his boyfriend for a small loan of a million dollars and run for president of Trinyvale?

The Real Kal-El

Comparing this campaign to the other, what are your opinions on a more gritty serious word compared to the more light hearted ones?

Aidan Mead

Jake how was it learning spell casting, did anyone help you pick spells? ps I hope you try it again.

Good Guy Josh

The triplets never got to level 20, but the demi-god boss fight was just as epic. As players, how did this effect your strategy going into the fight, and as a DM how did it effect the stats? I remember that Thiala had to be RIDICULOUS to match the Boobs, so the contrast with Cash is interesting

Paige Kosa

Was it difficult playing or DMing for characters that didn’t develop/regressed in their development?

Ben Delahay

Caldwell did you base Onyx's mom's voice off of Moria Rose from Schitt's Creek? It sounded a lot like her!

Chelsea L (0ffbeatt)

So Caldwell and Murph, dming has always been something I wanted to do and I've been given the offer to maybe dm my first group soon. Did you guys plan out the whole campaign with BD guys and everything? Was it more of a ho with the flow feeling, or did you have a skeleton to work around? I love both worlds you guys made and I want to make an experience worth remembering for my friends.

Zhade

Was the interaction with Mega Keychain and the team planned? Or did Jens give his inspiring speech and did Duncle just jump on it? It was timed so perfectly, I lost my mind laughing

Tim Sauerland

@Caldwell In the last fight with Coin, did you consider buffing him mid battle due to the whomping taking place? With the purpose of making the last fight more consequential.

Santiago Gonzalez

Was this the way you felt that Trinyvale was going to end when you first starting DMing for the group, and if not, how did your expectations change throughout the series?

Hello! I was wondering if any of Duncle Caldwell’s amazing homebrew had any inspiration or if it was just pure imagination?

Abby Reeves

Dang! I'm still trying to catch up on the first campaign. 🤣 This isn't directly related to Trinyvale, but will there be more campaigns in the future? Are each of you going to take a turn DMing a campaign?

Carli Stewart

why wasn't party ape the new silverback wtf guys

Alex Allen

Caldwell: what was your favourite arc to write/plan? Everyone else: what was your favourite arc to play?

Richard Lawson

The Band of Lil Cuties

Paul Smith

With Caldwell and Murph's campaigns over and Emily starting hers, I think the question on everyone's mind is when is Jake going to DM a one shot?

John Solorzano

I love the comparisons of The Triplets to Its Always Sunny. Which IASP characters would the Triplets, and maybe even the BoB be?

What was it like to play characters that were far less heroic than the traditional D&D character?

Ben Delahay

How does the question for ems campaign, YOURE GONNA FREAK FRACKING ROCK!! I loved your one shot. Goofed ya. There was no question

Cristian Perez

Can you give us the backstory of the gods of trinyvale?

Who were everyone's top 3 favorite NPC's from throughout the campaign?!?

If there was a third onyx duplicate, this one a cake, what cake would that Onyx duplicate be?

George Koors

Hey sweeties! Can we get a Blavin version of “Baggin it with Balnor” with the triplets and guest starring all the onyx’s?? Love you all!!

Adrian

I was wondering about Onyxs' mother. What happened to her after her revenant 'purpose' has been fulfilled? The purpose being awakening the hidden god if I remember correctly 🙂 Did she got to stay?

Speaking from experience, ranger used to be super underwhelming but has since been reworked by WoTC and it's sooo sick I would recommend checking it out !

Lisquander

Can Caldwell talk about how he builds his encounters, especially the last boss and the non-combat encounters like the cooking show and trial?

Dustin K

What aspect of roleplaying/D&D brings you the most joy?

Caldwell which where your favorite episodes? My favorite episode was the British cooking show, and the porn magazine episode.

After running the Bohumia campaign which was a more emotionally invested campaign then finishing up with Trinyvale which was more lighthearted campaign. What do you find are your favorite parts of each style of campaign as players (and as DMs)?

Two part question for Duncle Caldwell. What was the biggest point where the party subverted the plot, versus what was the biggest part where YOU as the DM changed/shifted the plot from your original plan (maybe to make things more interesting without telling anyone)

ThatManGareth

Obviously this fight was indeed a whomping (rip duncle :( ) but im curious is Ca$h had any abilities or any tricks up their sleeve that you regret not using with that post-battle hindsight? Or that you wish you'd given them from the start?

Jay V

Where there any character backgrounds/attributes that didn't get explored that you wished had come up? For Caldwell, was their world building that the players skipped right past?

ANNA NEWNHAM

This is the dance battle I never knew I needed but now can't live without.

Rachel Quesnelle

@Caldwell what program did you use to make Goob sound like Zordon?

If Murph would have crit on one of his attacks what was the shenanigans he had planned?! I’m so curious.

Duncle, thank you for the gift of Trinyvale. I run a nightly-ish Trinyvale Trivia for the bizzare lore/things that have happened. What is your favorite piece of lore that didn't make it into the show?

After all the jokes at Nyack’s expense, how did it feel for him to get the Finish Him on the final boss?

Could we get the final character sheets for the trinyvale and bahumia campaigns?

Michael W

Does Jake regret not making a ranged fighter instead? Also, is this the last we'll see of Retrieval Team 22, or will you do a one shot compaign a la Tomb of Horrors? Thx

David

Hey there, Dunkle and Trinnyvale Triplets! Another amazing campaign down! I've been wondering for months, what's been going on on the other cube faces of Trinnyvale? PS: Can't wait for what y'all do next. PPS: I'm leaving Savannah before I got to buy y'all some margs!

Will we ever see Ally Beardsley or Lou Wilson guest on naddpod? Would love to see all of the D20 cast end up having naddpod characters. Also, what was the inspiration for the 2nd form of cash? The description was very detailed and gruesome.

Whalen Abbott

What's everyone's favourite colour?

Leith H.

Now the campaign's over - did anything surprise you guys about how the characters evolved?

Helen Hughes

I wanna know where the Wish BB ended up!

KeganExe

Jake would you recommend playing a ranger and Murph and Emily after see ally play a ranger would you recommend it?

Good Guy Josh

Will casting distort value on jens improve his sense of self worth and ultimately turn him into a sort of anti-rhen?

Dan

Was it fun to play just a while bunch of shitheads lol

Leith H.

How was it originally to have to focus on the main campaign and then also be on this campaign and making sure one wasn't overshadowed by the other?

Arnar Breki

What is your favorite Emily goof of this campaign?

Ryan Keefe

What parts of Trinyvale were created before character creation, and what was created after (like were the gorillas and the little moon part of the setting before Nyack and Onyx or were those characters made to fit those parts of the setting)?

Patrick O.

Favourite goof from the entire trinivale campaign?

Magnus Seines

For Caldwell: Did you prefer the monthly schedule or the weekly schedule? Both were really great in their own ways as a listener! Hi to the whole 2 crew, hope you’re all doing very well and staying safe, Joe

Joe Lenton

are we going to see the triplets again? i’d love to see a jenster wedding oneshot (perhaps featuring the return of party ape) 💖 thanks as always for such an amazing show, can’t wait for hot boys summer! ✨

RT22 forever, all my love to the Triplets and Duncle Caldwell. How much world building was done for Trinyvale before the campaign? How does it compare to how things developed as you played?

My only question is can we see all the social sorcery/jampion stuff? Hella curious

david day

@Murph & @Caldwell - is there a template you use when writing descriptions of locations and/or characters? What's the process?

Who was running the popular jenns trinstagram account?

This isn’t really a question, but for a Paladin Murph did an excellent job of playing just a nightmare of a person. A loveable nightmare but a nightmare. Anyhow, been loving everything you all have done since 8Bit and excited to love everything you have yet to do!

Walter Lajara

Favorite NPC from the whole campaign? But you have to answer trying to use their voice! Let’s hear those impressions 😉

Katy Howells

What are the plans for session now that trinivale is done? Will there be a season two campaign or one shots?

Loved the last episode! Any thing the players (or Duncle) wish they would’ve gotten to do before you wrapped up? Any interesting epilogue secrets?

Caldwell, do you use an effect for Keychain's voice or are you just able to sound like a frigging robot by yourself?

Geraint

For the players. What are some of things Duncle threw at you that just blew your mind (e.i. homebrew creatures, and mechanics)?

Another question! Does Nyack ever become the silverback, or does he just hang at the castle forever?

The Prince seemed infatuated with Jenz long before he went back to perform for him; and it seems that the Prince (more so than even Onyx was to her parasite) is deeply and easily affected by Jenz's manipulations: Will he end up madly in love and endlessly giving to Jenz? It sure seems like their matching Vanity and Ego (and honestly similar enough ages by elven standards) could mean the two could be a perfect fit for the rest of their lives.

Crimson Claw

For Caldwell- at what point in the whomping did you consider changing stats/adding health to your big bad? Is it fair to change rolls to keep the story going?

Is this the last we will see of the triplets?

Leith H.

What are some character traits that both your trinyvale and bahumia characters have in common ?

How far in advance do you prepare for the episodes Caldwell?

Did you base Coin off of an existing creature from the game or did you make one for the battle specifically.

Steven Hoffart

Caldwell, what monsters from the beginning of the campaign would you want to go back and homebrew more, now that you've gotten super good at it?

Adam Michael

Duncle, is this generally how you planned the campaign to go or were there some big plot pivots?

JD

Will Caldwell be DMing again? I love his world building and I also love having Murph as a player (I’m very exciting for DM Emily as well). Love you guys!!

Grant Klein

Will the triplets ever move on from Friends and begin watching the far superior How I Met Your Mother???

Matthew Gill

What shenanigans or crazy abilities did we not see during the final fight that Caldwell or the players planned for?

At what point did you realize that Retrieval Team 22 were going to stay terrible people? Caldwell, how did your concept of what the campaign was going to be change as you got more experience DMing?

Kestrel

Are you guys more understanding of the writers of Frozen 2 after saving Olaf in episode 22?

Can we find Keith’s theme anywhere to listen to? It’s so good! And just a thanks to all of you for the fantastic podcast with both campaigns

James

Can we compare/contrast the roses of Caldwell’s/Murph’s DM styles?

Do you guys plan to do any sort of one shot cross over with the band of boobs and the triplets?

Caldwell, many a short rest you said the story was improvised. How much of the campaign was planned, and how much was thought of on the spot?

What is one spell/ability that each PC didn't get to use in the campaign that you were really hoping to get to?

Paul Smith

Will Jake ever DM?

Will Retrival Team 22 ever meet the Band of Boobs in some crazy multi verse crossover

Ernie

Caldwell, you're the king of running non-combat encounters- the recent court room battle was truly incredible. Where do you find inspo and how do you determine mechanics?

Julia Kheiv

Were there any encounters that were generated randomly?

What happens with Onyx and Keith’s relationship in the future? What would that wedding look like? Amazing job, crew <3

Emily - do you have any plans to avoid getting whomped when you DM?

All Pulp! No Juice!

Will the Band of Boobs have to go to Trinyvale to stop Retrieval Team 22 when their grifting does eventually get out of hand?

Schon, the Shadetree Mechanic of Zebuldar

Did part of you hope Frozonyx 2 Olaf would die to come full circle, and would you have found some way to revive her if she had?

Your Good Buddy Brandon

What was the most ridiculous part of the trinyvale world that we never got to see or hear about? Y’all are great.

Hey duncle! How did you come up with the creative "combat" scenarios, like the cook off and the dance?

Emmanuel Ronquillo

Would you guys ship any crossover couplings between the Band of Boobs and Trinyvale Triplets? No throuples.

troutbumhole

Will Nyack ever be able to finish a full meal?

What could've happened if yall used the Neddas powered wish BB? (I honestly don't remember if they ever used it before now so sorry if I'm just dumb lol)

PorpleSlem

Caldy how did you expect that fight to go?

Geoffrey Cater

Will there be any one shots with the triplets in the future?

Kurt

So I heard a running theory that ryan urphy was the hidden god. Did that idea cross your mind?

How's duncle after that final battle?

What was your first character's name, race, and class?

What was your favourite moment from Trinnyvale?

Charles Kett

for the players: which was your favorite gift from duncle caldwell? and caldwell, which was your favorite one to give?

chlo!

How do each of the triplets decorate their space in the castle?

AJ

Who would win in a dance off: Jens Lyndelle or Fabian Aramais Seacaster?

Justin Thyme

And also an Obsidion scream

Evan Cordero

What was the hardest part about DMing your first full campaign for the podcast? Your favorite part?

Caldwell: You did a great job of working with your PCs to develop interesting custom items and skills. Do you have any thoughts about the balancing of those items, and how to work with your players to give them unique toys to play with?

JT Gwozdz

Murph does Jens actually marry the prince??

Did you notice the difference from playing one game here and there to the last few episodes where you were doing a game a week?

Bradley Kroegel

How bad did it feel to get whomped so bad?!

Noremackid

How'd you like that whomping Duncle?

Dragothor

Where can I get my own frozen oalf onyx

Were y’all expecting Trinyvale to morph into the “evil” campaign?

On a scale from 1-10, how whomped did you feel?

Taylor Schult

Caldwell, any lessons learned as you wrap up your first campaign as a DM?

David Donnel

What will be in Gens and the prince’s prenup

Corey Ruef

Here’s a question. Y’all are cuties.

Michael Singer

What’s it like getting ready for a new campaign? Is it bittersweet?

Emily

What did you expect your Trinyvale characters to end up being like when the campaign started vs where they ended up?

Rachel Quesnelle

What are your favorite moments from this campaign?

Jerry Mercer (me)

Okay so how old is Jen's and what is his dream wedding. Will the party ape plan it?

Brenda Gibbner

What's been your favorite goof so far?

Michael Shelley

How did duncle feel getting whomped that hard?

How far in advance did you know how you wanted the overall plot of Trinivale to go?

Josh Rindt

Can I hear Nyack slip in jam one last time?

G.X. Barnett
