Short Rest: Ep. 99: One Big Bed

OH MY GOD THANK YOU EMILY for just deep diving a bit into Moonshine and Hardwon and how he was the first person she didn't have to justify the Crick to. Because OF COURSE orphan Hardwon looking for a home would completely fall in love with a place that makes everyone feel welcome and it's a bad thing to walk around like you know who your daddy is!

Mike Yost

I could listen to Emily talk about Moonshine for ages... ♡ also, I headcanon'd Moonshine's care for Hardwon ever since she jumped onto him off of that dragon in frostwind.

Mariah K. Pixi

Same here. Re-listening to C1 after listening to C2 and part of C3 made me appreciate these characters and this story even more (if that’s possible)

Haley Amplo

Almost finished my second listen through of C1 and I don't want to listen to the next episode and experience the heartbreak of it being over again 😭

Libbi Longworth

Ryan is the npc we need 😂

Winterbat

Whoaaaa where’s the spoilers warning for Frozen 2 this time?

Winterbat

I doubt y'all read stuff on old episodes, but I want you to know that I have a character that's basically a Hardshine child, but they're biological parentage is unclear bc the people who raised her are part of a pirate polycule 😂 So yeah, poly coparenting Hardshine is out here going strong

jmethelizbian

Not gonna lie, Moonshine and Mimaw's conversation about Moonshine not wanting to live in a world without Hardwon brought tears to me eyes. It's a real Aragorn and Arwyn vibe that hurt my soul. I'm so nervous for the last episode. 😭

nonya bizness

Just ready with listening to this short rest. And I am literally terrified to listen to episode 100. In a few weeks it's a year ago that is started listening to naddpod and I enjoyed every second of it. Every laugh and every tear. I'm so afraid to put an end to this amazing journey tomorrow when I'll listen to ep. 100. Hope to still hear some band of boobs references in Eldermourne. If the BOB's win of course

Glenn Dhooge

I mean it's not too hard to roll up a full character on dndbeyond

1man2hands

The splitting and sharing of the patch reminded me, in the moment, of Mean Girls

1man2hands

God Jake saying "that's what [Hardwon]'s always been starved for" just hit me like a yon of bricks

1man2hands

Please god make a mixed bag of Ryan adventuring with his lamer friends

A second campaign is going to be coming after Trinyvale is wrapped up.

Sad! Is anything happening after this quest or is it over forever????

Cha boi

Ryan sounds like "The Guy" from Spy Kids 3D. Lol

Really loved Emily's take on/predictions for Hardwon and Moonshine

Franny McCabe-Bennett

I am relistening to old short rests and I got to when they first got Balnor. It’s so insane hearing them saying Balnor won’t be here for long contrasted to everyone crying because Balnor almost died.

Katie Marzulli

On DnD Beyond Archdruid says any material components that don't require a cost can be ignored. It may have been an errata.

Dalton Davidson

The episode itself is probably already recorded, theyre just premiering it live :)

Edel

Easily the funniest fucking short rest I've ever heard

Matthew Tyler Helm

Question: I understand that the next episode is going to be on Twitch. What does that exactly mean? Is there going to be a podcast released the following week? If so, is that podcast going to be edited or in its raw format? I'm sure I'll enjoy the show either way. I'm accustomed to the traditional podcast format, so it makes me nervous breaking away from it, however, I have faith in y'alls abilities as performers/storytellers. Love y'all

Danny Gallagher

Sorry if this was said already, but arch druids still need spell components. I think Emily was thinking of the level 18 perk that let's you cast while wild shaped? But it states that you still need spell components. At level 20 arch druids can wildshape unlimited times!

Emily C

Emily, I absolutely loved listening to you talking about moonshine and hardwon ❤

claire

I loved the inclusion of Ryan in this short rest! But the thing about Archdruid is that Moonshine would basically be able to be an animal all the time if she wanted to, and cast spells without speaking. Spells components are still consumed if they have a cost, so no heroes feast unlimited, but say moonshine could cast thorn whip whenever! I think it'd be interesting to see but cool without as well.

Akira

Do you guys think you'll do a "where they are now" episode after the Boobs WOMP Theala? 😉🤞🏻

Stephanie F

Great call on graduating college. I was hungover and we ended up having lunch at a Friendly’s. My sides are still aching from Ryan!

Michael Lawton

Binky taught Ryan everything he knows.

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

#ReleasetheRianCut as a mixed bag!

Frozen 2 spoiler warning??? How was I to know Olaf does, indeed, die in that HIT film?

Kriv

#releasetheRyancut

Alexander Mills

Honestly, Emily Jake and Caldwell should quit the show so we have more time for exclusive Ryan adventures.

Robert

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Emily

Great, I haven’t been able to watch the last few because there were obviously spoilers (thanks for the warning by the way) for Frozen 2. Time to listen!

Sawyer Rogers

I’m not ready for campaign 1 to end...

Samuel Burris

Undying Sentinal allows you to not suffer the effects of old age, but you still age normally. Bev would just be a really buff, healthy old man. However, since made a pact with Bahumia itself, you can flavor it however you want, rules are just suggestions 😂 Loved this campaign and characters from day 1, can't wait to see what the next adventure has in store!

Sam

Next year's April 1st is on a Thursday even, that would work out perfectly. 😎

Josnak

Can I see a mockup for the Ryan "Get out of here, I'll handle this." shirt please.

ShezInJapan

I vote for a Ryan ep. next April 1st! 🤣🤣🤣

Emily

god that was such a beautiful conversation about love in the context of two dnd characters ,,, man this podcast brings me so much joy

Jamie Advincula

I'm half expecting Ryan to turn up and get insta-killed by Thiala

Oliver

So who gets to play Ryan in the new campaign?

JBeev

HEY WHAT GIVES!? You totally spoiled Frozen 2 and didn't even warn me about it! After weeks of avoiding short rests, I finally have a safe one to listen to and you've gone and ruined everything UGH! This is almost as bad as the time I found out Snape is Dumbledoor's dad.

Extragarb

Them talking about college graduation being lame made me feel a lot better about me graduating without a ceremony this year, thanks gang!

Patrick O.

Episode 99 Redux: How Theala Got Her Groove Back

You guys are gonna get so much Ryan fanart, god damn Also I find it so endearing that Emily gets so shy talking about Moonshine's romantic interests when her husband is literally the puppet master trying to make it happen 😂 Murph definitely ships this. It'll be 1am in the UK when the finale streams so y'all had better be ready for an invasion of caffeinated British naddpoles!

Emmie

The Moonshine and Hardwon insight from Emily was lovely to hear - definitely not boring! Emily has the best insights into her character choices 😊

Miriam

Ryan's my new favorite character

Camara Fairweather

I literally cried laughing this episode. This was so fucking funny.

Michael

Congrats on your long run. Wishing you the best of luck on episode 100.

Xymel

holy fuck thank god Ididnt listen to that at work

Belle

If Ryan merch doesn't show up in the store I'll be disappointed.

Snugglegurts

Guys it would be an honour

Ryan Coogan

FROZEN 2 SPOILERS!

Sarah

I know it's kinda irrelevant right now, but was thiala and her 5 angels vs pelor kinda like the 6 paths of pain vs jiraya? That's how I imagined it.

Cormac O'Connor

I can't wait for Ryan to reveal that none of the decisions were actually morally gray

Emily, listening to you talk about Moonshine’s thoughts and motivations and relationships is possibly the exact opposite of boring

Kestrel

Hardwon x Thiala? "Satan popped my cherry"?

Stephen “can Rage last for four years” C

Since Hardwon has some of a Divine Heart would that make him live Longer?

My bond is the week is My mother because name a better Bond than the BOND you have with you mom.. go ahead I'll wait.

Did Bev resummon Jaw Jaw?

Liz Ruifrok

#RyanFucks

I’m really hoping that when things look darkest for the band of boobs, that Matty Big Crits will come out of nowhere and slay Thiala.

rscx

You gotta tag those spoilers bud!

Thomas Friedlander

Hardwon and Moonshine have such a beautiful connection and you guys talked about it so gracefully and warmly 🥰

Gobbi Wasabi

Can't wait for the finale, Ryan's Big Day!

Emily cackling and saying “it would be so funny to shit the bed like that” is the most genuine laugh I’ve ever heard on a podcast I think.

Pat Hughes

the last few minutes with the discussion of the npc stat block was actually kinda helpful

Ryan B.

I have genuinely not laughed as hard as I did during the entire "Ryan" scenario all year. It's hard to put into words how exactly my humor lined up with Murph for that whole thing. I could listen to 55 minutes of Ryan improv. "Get out of here, I'll handle this."

joel

Love the show, can't wait for Ryan!

Tyler Wood

Release the Ryan block!

Barbie Pootsky

moonshine hardwon aaaaaaggghhh 😍😍😍 thank you for going there!!

Please make a shirt that says "Hi, I'm Ryan" alongside an image of the most overpowered D&D human character you can imagine, who has lightning crackling from his eyes, like 10 swords on his back, and is absolutely ripped as hell.

Shifter

I am pissing myself from laughing too hard!

Noell S.

Wow!! I think Ryan sounds really cool!!

Maso

No spoiler warning for frozen 2? 😮

Paige Cramer

Ryan the Ram returns and does the killing blow

Joe D’Antonio

Yyyeeesss feed into my need for moonwon shipping

Cassandra Cordova

Ryan vs Nana Kindleaf finale. Who says no?

Holden Spencer

Ryan finale, best finale

June M

Emily just spoutin wisdom this episode , really summed up why moonshine is such a nuanced character

Marisa

Is it bad that I want a Ryan campaign to be real

Ricardo

I would love a Lion Ryan shirt

Release the Ryan cut you cowards

Hes just this really solid dude. Hes so solid.

Alexander Mills

She forgot the most important part of a level 20 Druid, unlimited Wild Shapes!

BeardedViking

Ryan kills Olaf In frozen 2

Turner Tush

They made an announcement at the beginning of the episode! Next Saturday, 5 PDT, at twitch.tv/naddpod

Kestrel

All hail Ryan

No Cool Name Ideas

I've been a weekly listener since episode 30 (though only recently joined the patreon), and this podcast has been the biggest thing i look forward to every Thursday for so long now, to know that you guys are live-streaming the final episode on my birthday brings me infinite joy. Keep up the great work

Alexander

Ryan is my champion

Theodore Giesen

Would love a short, fake, phoned-in (figuratively & literally) episode 100 next week.

Michael McDougall

I heard the finale was going to be live streamed, any details on that?

Alexander Mills

Have Thiala get whomped by the most solid dude, Carl

No Cool Name Ideas

If I don’t hear about sex imma be upset

Jaydon

Ready to die next week lmao

Frank

I'm only here for the Frozen 2 spoilers

I’m crying

No frozen spoilers?

Sage stetson

The feels!
