Question Collection!

When Alanis showed up during the fight at the Astral Keep, this was the first time the three original heroes have been seen together. On a similar note, since Hardwon was allowed to hold the King's Hammer as a dwarphan, he is the first person to hold all three Kings Hammers. Was Murph actively aware of these facts when he planned it, and how much thought went into moments like these to ensure they were "done right"?

Jesse

What happened to Moonshines spores library?

Do y'all have any plans on coming to Canada in the future?

Sarahtonin

Ah hi long time listener first time commentor - when is Moonshine going to teach Hardwon a cantrip? #splitcritcantrip

Sarahtonin

I had a dream last night that for the last episode of the podcast, that every guest you have ever had on the show came in for the final battle and conclusion. Now I know it would be a logistical nightmare but would y'all ever consider trying to do something like that for the last one?? It would be so cool to have a huge last episode like that and do it on a livestream!!!

Sonic one shot for 2020?

Samuel Jasek

This has bothered me since ep 43. Why didn't y'all take Deeprags flail? Even if you thought it was cursed, that's never stopped the boobs in the past. Moonshine could be getting three attacks each turn, or Hardwon could be doing nine attacks by now. C'mon gang, I need answers!!!!

Did you have alternative names for your characters, if so, what were they? Else, how did you come up with their names?

Kirstie T

Are you all aware that paw paw has been moonlighting in religion? (There's a Paw Paw Church of God in Pin Oak, WV) - Google sent me down the road past it and I bout died laughing at the though of a Pulpit Preaching Paw Paw I had to search google to find out where the church was located for this post and found there are a few Paw Paw churches - so he apparently is quite successful. Does that give him a +2 to Religion Checks?

What was a moment that you guys thought was hilarious but weren't able to put into the show because it was too off topic or off mic?

Nick V.

Aside from that Chipmunk, are there any other guests planned in the near future?

Jeff Davis

Question for Emily, I loved your mixed bag about character creation. Since Emily had like 7 prepared, I was wondering what are some of the characters you’ve played in your other campaigns?

Fighting Favorites - The Favorite Things Podcast!

If your character was a scented candle, what would that candle smell like?

Will the Nobuo Uematsu of the group (aka Emily) make a song with lyrics at some point for the show? Perhaps for the finale?

Murph, did you Kickstart Kobold Press's new book Deep Magic?

8BitBruché

Hey gang! Would love to know if y’all would ever consider do short rests for previous eps? Know you’ve chatted about doing some before, and done one for the first ever episode, but would love to see what you guys think of older eps, being the seasoned boobs that you are now. Have been relistening to the Moonstone Saga and would love to know your perspectives on the episodes now!

DM Question: I have an NPC problem. The party is currently in a town with a neo-noir theme, so I gave them a detective character to introduce the main players in the plot. The problem: the detective takes away all sense of urgency from the players. Why should they examine clues? He's a literal detective, et cetera. Duncle, Daddy, Emily, help! (You're also doing an excellent job, Jake)

Mick C

Question for Murph! Are you excited about the new Eberron book and how much of it do you think will influence your next campaign? Also I think Jake would love to play a Warforged!

Murph, it seems that you were planning on Gladeholm after the Fey Wild, but the Boobs decided on Shadowfell instead. Did you have a different plot line for them had the Boobs decided on Gladeholm first? What has been the biggest deviation from where you thought the story was going or what change has had the biggest ramifications? Thanks!

Murph, what has been the biggest deviation from where you assumed the story was heading? It seems that you were planning for Gladeholm after the Fey Wilds but the Boobs decided on Shadowfell instead. Did you have a different storyline intended for Gladeholm if the Boobs had gone there earlier?

a question for all of you guys, what is your favorite moment in the podcast?😅💕 much love

Quick one for everyone, most awestruck you've been of one of the others? Either in the podcast or outside. Highlights please, it's broad soz.

Hollie Tawhiao

The old Trinyvales were streamed, and the livestream will be too.

Hrishi Venkatesh

A question for Murph or Caldwell in regards to DMing. I am currently DMing for some of my friends and we are running a module, but i would like to start gettng into more homebrewy things. The only thing is I'm having trouble trying to organize my thoughts into what i would like to do in the story, how do you guys do it and would you ever consider doing a mix bag or stream on how you prepare?

i'm curious as to how each of you got into d&d individually, like we know jake started with this show but what about the rest of you?

Is there a chance we could get an "unedited" episode sometime in the future? Maybe the raw footage of an old episode. I just want to hear y'alls process during the game.

Hey gang! Quick Q for Murph: How do you find new and creative ways to make combat and adventuring (puzzles, etc..) exciting when a campaign has gone on for a while? Rather than just making the enemies stronger

Brad Hild

Murph, did you just release a Tarrasque into the material plane?

Joseph Foley

Also, you all are so good at making big choices! (I often take on the worrywart/mom friend role in my home game). Are there any big plot decisions you made that you regret in retrospect? Or moments of inaction where you wish you had done something?

Are there any plans to have Emily or Jake DM? Maybe a one shot?

Reading the "Everyone loves big chests" series by Veven Iliev

Mark Fluter

Murph (and anyone else who wants to answer) what fantasy are you reading right now? Love hearing about how what you’re reading inspires the show/story content!!

Hugh Cunningham

How long had Emily been thinking about making pendergreens the new ruler of hell? In the short rest for the first mage madness episode she said she had big political plans for him, is that what she meant?

Jake with a new campaign coming up and having been playing d&d for almost 2 years now, do you feel a desire to play something other than a fighter or melee class? Do you see yourself playing a spellcaster?

Oscar de la Garza

I’m hosting and DM’ing a live D&D show at iO in Chicago monthly starting in January! What tips would you have for live d&d shows? Ask if y’all ever are in town let me know!

Justin Borak

Question for everyone! I was thinking it'd be a good idea to give Balnor the Hellfire Crown, but since that is not the case where do y'all think Balnor will end up after the campaign is over?

It will be new characters! I bet it won’t be the end of the Boobs, though

Kestrel

The plan is to end on episode 100! Obviously might not be exact, but that’s what they’re planning for

Kestrel

Red and Gunther are in Irondeep, and Jaina was at the meeting at the Astral Keep!

Kestrel

Hi! Question for Emily. She always seems to have the best spells prepared. Could she talk through her decision making process for how she decides what spells she's going to use that day and how she anticipates the challenges the Boobs will face?

Kaitlyn with a K and a Y

Question for Jake, how did you even get into dnd? How were persuaded and what would you say to those nerds trying to recruit their non-nerd friends in the game?

1) Now that we’re near the end will there still be new guest appearances or rather returning guests that are more comfortable with high level DnD? 2) will there ever be guests from other DnD Podcasts? Like a big one shot with the McElroys? Could go both ways ;) maybe as a stretch goal? 3) What are all the forgotten NPCs up too? Like Luna, Gaina, Red & Gunther, the people in Ezry? Etc... 4) Now that you’ve already been to England, do you think it’s gonna be long till you come to Germany and I also get to see you live? Haha 5) what ended up happening with that troll/ fairy civil war in the feywild?

Question for Murph: Since you use theatre of the mind, what steps do you take during combat to help you remember which specific enemy is near which PC and who would be affected by aoe spells? I’ve always wanted to try running a game like that but feel like I wouldn’t be able to keep up with who is where at any given time.

Q for Murph and the party - would you do a tournament arc? I'd love to see some BoB pitted against eachother and see how they play it out, I'd love to see Hardwon vs Beverly for example before the series ends

Do you remember, the 21st night of September?

Murph: what’s the best way to organize a home brew campaign? And how open did you leave the campaign to rely on the actions of the characters? Everyone: what is one decision, action, etc. that you would change if you could? Why? Caldwell: how do you come up with such clever rhymes?

Kendra Waters

As we approach the end of the campaign, what is the thing that has surprised you most about how your character has developed?

Valori Waggoner

Brennan Lee Mulligan as the DM!

Danny Keim

Our Kiddo wants to know your favorite subjects in school? Both yourselves & your characters!

Treyley the Cray

If the BoB had their own children's books like Ulfgar Goes Punch, what would they be? Do you think a Level 12 chaos multiclass build where you take one level of each class would break the game?

Patrick C McAuliffe

- It seems like a D&D narrative is singular in having a collaborator that is sometimes a referee, sometimes antagonistic, sometimes an ally. Is there anything from the show that stands out as a result of this unique process?

Patrick C McAuliffe

What was everyone's favorite town/area in the campaign so far, and what specifically did you love about it? If you could meet the BoB what's one thing you'd say to them or ask them? Also much love to all of you!!

Quick Q for Murph. How do you organize your encounters? It seems like there has been more and more things going on in combat now, especially in the last arc with the god husks and Balnor fighting the Hound again.

Any hints at future live shows/tours? If you could cast any celebrity to play your characters (PC or NPC) who would you pick? Will Emily play a skeleton in the next arc? What class are you most intrigued by for your next character?

Rob Hawkey

If y'all wrote a Bahumia Adventure Book for either the BoB or the first three heroes, how would your readers rate you on a scale from James Wallis to Bill McCay? Also, please make this book? Also, would you accept cute pictures of my cats as incentive to make it?

Jordan Lyons

Hey yall! What campaign moment would you most like to see in big movie or animation form?

aloox

Have you guys considered having Emily DM a campaign? It would be fun to see her chaotic take on things!

Would you ever consider growing the main cast if schedules allowed?

Joshua Jacobs

How did Emily get into music?

Avery Kaustinen

I think moonshine is 24 and hard won is 25

James Edward DeMoines

How old are Moonshine and Hardwon?? I know we have a general idea but I want numbers lol

aloox

Do you guys think you’ll ever do a mixed bag were you play on a battle mat? Would love to see jakes beautifully painted minis on the big screen.

Joe pugh

Can Caldwell make a fungal form of Pawpaw?

Hey Murph, just wondering, how do you balance party combat around only having one or two fights a day? I know CR is calculated for having about 4 or so fights per day, so I’m having some trouble with that as a budding new DM PS: saw you guys at the Austin Dimension 20 show, had a blast! Great to see the fungal queen and whomp guy after listening for like a year!

Xandwich

Wait, having just read the other comments - is it confirmed that the new campaign will be with new characters and not Moonshine, Bev and Hardwon? I don't think I'm emotionally resilient enough for the end if the characters as well as the campaign!!

Katie Ashman

I would like to know this as well. Ever since hearing Jake talk about "flying in" I've been curious how it all works

Neil

Mostly for Murph, but I’m interested in hearing if it applies to the players as well: how much time do you spend outside of recording in preparation for playing?

Aaron Bowyer

Would you guys ever consider doing a Mixed Bag: Adventure Book a la 8 bit book club? Or possibly a Mixed Bag one shot with a guest DM? I'd just love to see what happens when all four of you have a hand in the decision making process rather than one being "left out" as the DM.

What do you all think the most important quality is when making a new character for a campaign?

Mason McCauley

Is there going to be be merch coming soon?

Paul Hoffmann

Biggest mistake personally in the campaign? (Not necessarilybad but something that happened that you wanted to go one way but totally flipped)

For the band - if you could transform your current character (personality and all) into another D&D class, what would it be?

Andrew Dentzau

For Murph, I am a new DM trying to find interesting story hooks for my players who have never really played DM before. I am struggling to get them to RP with the story. For Jake, How did you break out of your shell and begin RPing?

Raphael Hernandez

For Daddy Murph: What’s your favorite part of DMing for Jake, Emily and Caldwell? For Jake, Emily and Caldwell: What’s your favorite part of having Murph as a DM?

Jake! How does it feel to be nearing the end of your first campaign?

Breanna Spencer

I believe you guys may have mentioned it briefly but have you guys talked about getting Naddpod tattoos together? If so, what ideas did you guys think of?

Breanna Spencer

For Caldwell! How do you go about prepping rhymes/songs for specific situations? Or do you have lots written up and just keep your eye out for times to use them? They're always so awesome!

Breanna Spencer

How do you find the voice for your characters, and do you have any tips on maintaining a consistent voice?

Thom van Tijn

Do you guys think you'll ever make your way to Australia for live shows?

What classes are yall thinking of playing in the upcoming campaign?

@big daddy murph: were there any moments where you decided to go easy on the BoB for the sake of narrative progression? (i.e. choosing an action that would do less damage or making a boss stall for a turn during a tough encounter, etc)

some loser

Is there a temptation to try and dial in the campaign end to be episode 100? Something so neat and satisfying about that.

Scott Craig

@everyone: Do you have any podcast recommendations (self plugs included)?

Saru

My question is how long did it take Caldwell to look over the menu before ordering today? But also: do you guys have any activities that you do to get into character before you start playing? Do you just jump right in? Does the Two-dio have enough of a magic aura that you're already in the right mindset the moment you walk inside?

Maddy96

Is there a backstory on the half elf that Hardwon reincarnated as?

The Master

To the whole crew: you guys have visited a whole bunch of different planes of existence during this campaign, what's been your favourite plane to play on? Murph, which was your favourite to DM?

Emmie

What’s the thing you all enjoy most about playing?

Sav

What’s your best advice for DMing for a party of mixed experiences?

Sav

i know this has nothing to do with the campaign but i need to know the gestation period of a crick elf.

Emily Lentz

Loved seeing you in London guys! My question - with you guys getting so close to the end game have any of you thought in the back of your mind what you may want to do if your character dies? Pick up as a NPC we know and love? Or bring in someone new to finish off the campaign?

Question for Jake, First of all, taking shield was an EXCELLENT move and shows how far you’ve come as a player. So I was wondering, can you see in yourself how far you’ve come? Are there certain milestones or moves that made you realize what a talented player you’ve become?

Mich Blackie

Question for Murph. What was your original plan for Pendergast? As funny as he is, I’ve always wondered if you had a different path or role in mind for him. He’s seems somewhat like Chekhov’s gun that never got fired. Love you all!

Mich Blackie

Can Murph take us step-by-step through how he builds an encounter?

Dustin K

i would love to hear some story arcs or plotlines in bahumia that didnt make the cut!

Emma Horton

Murph has said that he'd like to if he ever has a lot of free time (with what I know of murph may be sadly never...)

iain

Murph: while every good DM knows that you should never try and predict what your players will do, its often difficult to avoid assuming a particular thing will happen. More recently (or in the whole campaign!) have there been any huge decisions that the Band of Boobs made that came completely out of left field for you? Did you have any intentions for NPCS that the Band completely whomped?

iain

What do you think has been the most helpful (or your favorite) item during the entire campaign?

Also Merph, does it ever become hard to keep both the good guys and bad guys separate and not sway the battle to go one way or another? in other words is it ever hard to honestly say the numbers that you roll and not fudge them? even if you know it will add more flavor to the story?

when will i get my $25 teir pins?

Were there any points where you guys were considering a different class path for the Boobs? Like a Wizard Dip Moonshine, Monk dip Hardwon or a Rogue dip Beverly for example? And by extension, has Murph considered it for Balnor??

C.J. Schneider

Bev has already a few levels of Bard right?

Frankenjam

JIVILIN QUESTION. I'm probably too late and can't remember if I asked this last time but... Jake has your good friend Rose McIvor heard you play Jivilin? What does she think of the accint?

Frankenjam

If the Boobs entered a doubles combat tournament, (and you can't choose each other) who would each of you choose as your fighting partner?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

If the Boobs went into business together, what type of business would it be and where in Bahumia would it be located?

Jeffrey Steck, Lord of the Fjord

Have y’all ever considered writing a proper campaign setting for Bahumia like the Tal’Dorei one from Critcal Role?

Emily has said Moonshine would!

Kestrel

Will we see the flying sword again?

Jake this was your first complete D&D campaign! How are you going to feel about not being Hardwon anymore?

Who would you guys consider to be the main character of the story and why is it Hardwon?

What would your characters think of you guys if you were to pull a Stranger Than Fiction and meet them in real life?

Are there any other, non Dnd TTRPGs you guys would like to play?

If Bev and Erlin asked would Moonshine become a surrogate for their child?

Samuel Jasek

Has the experience of starting NADDPOD and playing dnd on a regular basis had a positive impact in your lives?

pwmandragouras

Do you remember the items you got from winning the Wizard Tournament?

Lauren M

If u had the chance would you guys hire people to animate certain points of the podcast? That be pretty dope. You guys are amazing I luv yall boobs

Crane

Even if you play new characters in the next campaign, could we possibly see reappearances or cameos from other NPC’s from the current campaign?

Justin Neal

What are your favorite type of non combat encounters?

Fighting Favorites - The Favorite Things Podcast!

Yes! They said that in the Patreon post with the schedule

Kestrel

Murph, when are we going to get a detailed story/history of the Giant Wars? To the whole crew, what are your good luck traditions with your dice, if you have any? Also, next time you’re near West Virginia, I’ve written a one-shot I want to DM specifically for the four of you.

What nat 20 do you feel was the most game changing/important

Lucas Machi

If you guys could make your own race or class what would it be?

Zaq Williams

Going to Shadowfell wasn’t planned! It only happened because they got so fixated on rescuing Lydia after Hardwon died in 54

Kestrel

He said it was something he worked out before they started the Hell arc!

Kestrel

Murph’s said it’s like to be sort of like Final Fantasy! So still fantasy but maybe with some more steam-punk-ish vibes

Kestrel

Murph said on an interview with Wizards of the Coast that it will likely be Bahumia in the future, but he’s not 100% sure yet!

Kestrel

Murph, how do you balance having cool NPCs with agency and motivations with also letting the PCs be the ones driving the narrative? The way Alanis was handled in ep 84 is a fantastic example of that, but it seems really hard to do

Kestrel

They play 5e, and Murph has expressed interest in a campaign book when/if they ever have time!

Kestrel

Murph’s said that almost definitely he’ll DM the next main campaign; Jake and Emily havent DMed, and Caldwell doesn’t really have the time to be the main DM. Plus, they have a formula that works!

Kestrel

Also not a question but you guys got me to try dming. I haven’t missed a session wearing the 2 crew hoodie since I bought it.

Jordan Sisneros

Is there interest among the band of boobs for more guests from other D&D comedy shows, especially with campaign 1 coming to a close? Your very funny Headgum siblings on Hey Riddle Riddle have done some quality D&D patreon episodes, it would be awesome to see JPC guest star on a live show for example.

Matt Harrison

Murph if you could play any race and class to join the boobs on their quest what would you play. Also would your decision be comedy based or strategy.

Jordan Sisneros

Are we going to see an Avengers: Endgame-style team up with Stunkbug, Tonathan, Apple, Mavrus, and all the other heroes that have joined the Boobs throughout their journey at the end of the campaign?

And when you guys coming to Australia? Please? Pretty please?

DanDrako

Yo Murph! How much of the NPC dialogue to you write compared to what's scripted?

DanDrako

Any plans on some of the previous guests returning during the endgame?

Justin Harris

How has D&D changed your personal lives? What do you think are your personal stats?

For murph, what's ol Cobb up to?

As a DM when your are looking for monsters to reskin do you look at stat blocks mainly or the creature art/description.

What has been the most gut punch from murph?

Best advice for new DMS?

Erik

What has been everyone's favorite interactions/combats in hell? Was it the 1v1's? The casino mini games? Mad Max syle brawling? & Shout out to Murph for making all the combat so different yet fun!

What classes do you, as people, think are the sexiest? I think about this a lot. Also, if you had to assign classes and/or alignments to your pets, what would they be?

meaghan sheridan

Hey there BoBs, Is there any other universes you would want to do a campaign in, even for a short one shot? Like Game of Thrones, Naruto, Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy etc? Just curious about what sorta settings you all would want to explore or play in!

Julian Johnson

For Emily - it feels like, especially in Hell, Moonshine has stepped up as a leader and decision maker in the party (for instance, counterspell decisions vs. Akorat and the Hellfire Crown). Does that feel true? If so, how does Moonshine feel about carrying that weight and responsibility?

Grant Bradshaw

Campaign Level Roses and Thorns -- story arc decisions, character development (both emotional and mechanical), etc

For everyone, what’s been your favorite moment where the crew has failed so far in the story?

Dan Killilea

Jake, do you wish Hardwon had gotten more opportunities to fight alongside Dead Eye?

To all of you guys, what are your favorite classes? Whether you’ve played them or not, which ones would you consider playing someday or do you love the most? (I personally think monks are badass with their deflect missiles)

Kahl Gillispie

Murph -- you've had your characters in life or death situations and arguably held back (rationalized out of?) a killing blow (eg last Akarot battle with Bev). As DM (and a lawful one at that), how have you felt in those situations and what has made you sway towards giving the characters an out rather than going for the killing blow? Ya'll are amazing and love your content!!!!!

We already knew y'all were a funny gang, and there have been some uproariously hilarious moments in this campaign, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of the more serious/dramatic scenes that occurred, many of them brilliantly prepared by our beloved Daddy Murphy. Question 1: Is there any chance that the next campaign (or just a future campaign) will be themed as a more serious campaign setting with less of a focus on comedy? Question 2 (for everyone): What is one thing you learned from playing in this campaign that you will take with you to the next one?

DungeonMama

Hey Emily! Any chance we could ever see you perform some of the shows tunes at a live show in the future?

Robert Mukwaodayin

You guys often talk about how sometimes dice rolls help to write the story in some ways. Are there any rolls which have helped to form your character in any ways, like how Hardwons "watch this" fail in the first few episodes helped to form the character he would become?

Francis Lee

Would Jake be willing to do one of the Dimension 20 "side quests" that happens between the usual seasons?

Taylor

Any chance for you all to play other table top rpgs as additional content?

Eric Applegate

Since you are righting the mistakes from the Ulfghar’s and crew, do you think they’re will be mistakes you all made that will need to be fixed by a subsequent party?

Eric Applegate

Any classes you haven’t played but are very interested in? Or what about alternative classes for the BoB? (Nature Cleric for moonshine, Barbarian for Hardone etc)

Will Brannon

Who would you cast for major roles in the naddpod movie?

Eric Applegate

I’m from Australia and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to convince you to do live tours here? Anything.

What % of the creatures and monsters that you have utilized have stat blocks that you have created? Does everything come out of WOTC published ephemera with tweaks from you, Murph (and Caldwell!), or have you created some all your own? Case in point the Gods released to the mortal realm. I know one or two have published stat blocks but I'm currently limited to the base Monster Manual. Have you created stat blocks for the rest?

Matthew Steinmetz

Why is Jake/Hardwon so funny, cool, and not insecure at all? and when will the others catch up? (if you need me to ask this several times so it looks like there's more interest let me know, when can I expect that venmo?)

Brad Donaldson

If NADDPOD was to become an animated show, would Daddy Murph still do all the different voices? Cause it might be weird otherwise. And if it were to become something life action, would y'all like to be the actors yourselves?

Ramon Jimenez

With the Band of Boobs Saga coming to a close, do you have any intention of mixing up who's gonna be the DM of the next story? Especially now with everything going to hell, is there anything any of y'all (either in character or out of character) regret hard enough that they wish they could go back and do it? Obviously it's kind of covered during the Nannerfly Effect Tour, but I wanna hear more of the cast's personal takes, even if it's for a more minor thing :P

Zane

Emily, if paw paw ever were to be awakened what do you think would be the first thing he and moonshine would talk about?

Brandon

Is there gonna be an 'happy ever after' or 'where are they now?' ending episode after the first campaign is finished?

Wikky

Question for the whole BoB: Ever think of doing some shows in Canada

Related pack of questions: Murph, do you anticipate the boobs reaching lvl 20? In light of that, Emily, how do you feel now, after half a campaign, about taking Barbarian and not reaching Arch Druid? Jake, since Champion Fighter doesn't have a 20th lvl feature (except an extra attack), any desire to take a level in something else?

Michael

With the Bahumia Campaign wrapping up have you guys already started thinking about season 2? Same universe different time? Also, please say it will be the same cast, I don’t know if I could take losing a boob!

Question for Daddy Murphy: Ever think of releasing your campaign notes Module Style?

If we attend your live shows and have proof that we have read all the books you’ve read from the 8 bit book club will you still treat that person to a personal pan pizza?

Samuel Jasek

As the first campaign comes to a close is there anything you wish you had done earlier in the campaign or would still like to do before the end? Also hi from Canada 🇨🇦 :)

Can you guys talk about how you all work? Like how often do you record, does Jake always fly out or do you do Skype sessions, do you do short rests right after the episode or later on? What is everyone on the team responsible for??

Do you (jake) or emily plan on dming a bonus campaign?

Michael Lovell

Fuck, marry, kill: Cobb, Deadeye, Balnor

Ditte Lange

Have the boobs simply tried turning Theiala off and on again?

Lucas Machi

What Cantrips did Hardwon take with Magic initiate?

Jeff Davis

Does moonshine have words prepared for whenever she meets Old Cobb again after everything that happened with Deadeye?

Lucas Machi

Question for the Qrick Queen: what is your song writing/composition process? I find myself going back and listening to the OSTs out on music services and Doomsday Diaries repeatedly and I'd love to know what steps you take when making those magnificent melodies

Jordan Suleiman

WHEN are we getting the Darnell, Yarslov, and Jv in the afterlife one shot??

Andrew Bonkginya

They are doing 5e. Murph has said he is interested in writing a campaign book but he is very busy so he might not have time to get to it soon

Lucas Machi

Were you guys expecting to sell out your shows in the UK, and has that improve the likelihood of you coming back?

Hrishi Venkatesh

When you’re playing, does it feel more like acting or writing and creating the story or are you just living in it?

How do the boobs plan to handle the God husk problem on the material plane? Maybe have to join forces with the chosen??

Michael K Merkle

How often does Jake fly from NY to record? And how many episodes do you bank in one go?

Jou Anodyne

Why is caldwell not in the background of every episode of hot date as promised?

Lucas Machi

What are you holding onto behind your DM screen? Computer notes or paper? What type of notes do you have for a session? Do you plan out any monologues?

Lucas Machi

Obvs, I don’t know the whole story, but I believe Jake approached Murph at a Christmas party.

Hrishi Venkatesh

the people need to know: Will Hardwon lose his virginity before the end of the campaign?

Whitney Peterson

If someone died permanently this late in the campaign (like when Bev almost got disintegrated) would you still make a new character?

Josnak

What does a full day of batch recording look like for you guys? Any weird in between session rituals or anything to reset and go into the next one full on? Thanks 😁

What ever happened to Luna?

Lucas Machi

If a wizard forced a multiclass on everyone...What would be the multiclass options that Bev and Hardwon and Balnor dip into? What would be the third class moonshine would have to pick?

Victor T (Balnor's Boy)

Hi from Aus. I would really love to know what prep goes into each session (how much detail and how much on the fly). I would also like to know if there is a book for the adventure in the making?

With the radically altered holiday schedule, will we still be getting short rests for all the episodes (like the donkey kong one-shot, the Trinyvale episodes, and the Manchester show)?

Hrishi Venkatesh

Will the decision for the characters have a significant impact on the ending. Example Luna, dragon baby ect

I don't have a question, I just have a humble request for more Erlin content. Any content you would like to give.

Aslee Graves

Have you guys considered trying a one off in another system for a mixed bag? Pathfinder perhaps? Call of Cuthulu maybe?

Lucas Machi

What was your favorite crit moment?

MJMM

Is PawPaw single?

Lucas Machi

I think there is an actual ruling for this that states it just dumps out the bag. However, if you tear the bag then everything inside is scattered to the astral plane and lost.

Lucas Machi

Hi! Y’all have briefly mentioned the inception of this podcast, but could you tell us the origin story?!? Jake: was there a specific moment you fell in love with dnd? Caldwell & Emily: are there tips you have to staying in character like a pro? Is there any chance hardwon and moonshine would be a thing? Murph: thanks for doing that interview with wizards of the coast! It answered a ton of question, so here’s a bushel of roses on a table serving raspberries, warm/cold quiche while eating it with a fork! Also, Emily and Murph remind of the couple on Up. K cool! Thanks all :)

Marge In Charge

Have you guys experimented with other RPG systems at all (either individually or as a group)? I always though you’d kill it in a Call of Cthulhu-type scenario, with less of a focus on combat and more on mystery, role play and storytelling.

Ryan Coogan

Who would win in a 1v1, PawPaw or Theiala?

Lucas Machi

They answered that. It was one of the Hounds.

Sam Killjoy

Not a super deep question, but I'm still eager to know: what kinds of music would be on your characters' spotify playlists?

Dani Sharkey

Now that hardwon took the magic initiate feat, what is his lore explanation for having magic? Did he learn it from Bev and Moonshine?

Lucas Machi

You, Jake, already answered this when I asked in a livestream a while back, but I'd love to hear from the others. Given that the bag of holding contains a sort of pocket dimension inside of it (bigger on the inside, TARDIS style), what do you think would happen if the bag were to be turned inside out?

Hopscotch

I’ll make them a PowerPoint. I’ll do it.

Sam Killjoy

Would it all be possible for everyone to be on dimension 20 with brennan returning the....favor

Francis A Leyco

Dear Caldwell, Now that your boy has gone grey knight, are there any plans to shift again or further embrace this new path now that you’re out of hell and (kind of) redeemed OG dad? Cheers, Me

Parker Reincke

For Murph: what failsafes or plan B's did you have for the Band in Hell like Bev's book or if they all failed in the sand puzzle?

Will you be my dad?

Lucas Machi

Will Emily ever DM?

Micah Edmonds

Are you still considering writing a bahumia campaign setting like critical roll?

Lucas Machi

You guys should get a reunion of all the previous guests who are available for the final fight. I'd love to see Sioban, Nathan, and Zac come back. Brennan is kind of a stretch because of Deadeye's ending. And Adam just always seems busy, but we can dream of a world with more Stunkbug.

Austin Hendry

Will we ever get a Bahumia campaign book for running our own campaigns there?

Hrishi Venkatesh

Do you guys have any ships form the Fandom that you like? Even if they are silly or could never be canon :) or some you'd actually like to be canon

Catalina Canales

*SPOILERS* If Akorat made a deal with Asmodeous to gain his immortality, shouldent the deal be over now that Asmodeous is dead? If not could Penteagreens void the deal now that he is in Asmodeous’ seat similar to how Lydia voided all the old deals in Shadowfell? Or possibly Theiala because she has his divine heart (although murph implied thats now how divine hearts work)

Lucas Machi

Was Guresh (the barbarian in Moonstone) originally supposed to be related to Hardone? I’ve been convinced of this ever since my first listen-through. They look similar, act similar, say “watch this”... I was sure they were going to be revealed to be brothers after that first battle, but then Murph had to change it when you started brutalising him.

Ryan Coogan

This question is for everyone: If you could have any special guest on the pod, dead or alive, who would it be and why? Also please do a live show in Florida or at least in Savannah at jalapenos, I will drive the 5 hours for that!

Spoiler-heavy question: It feels like there may be some loose ends at the end of this campaign, e.g. going back and finalize a solution for Hell in the allotted 30 day time frame, heading back to Shadowfell to address what will happen to Bev IV, go back and make sure the literal hundreds of trolls you released in the fey wild didn't cause a massive issue, and even just having the characters, all powered up from when they were back in Moonstone, go back and see if they have even a remote shot with Shey. Do you think you'll have an open-ended ending where each character will be left to live out their epilogues off-screen, or will you consider doing some form of an epilogue at the end of Campaign 1? Alternatively, would you consider doing 1-off Bahumia episodes, maybe as mixed bags or fillers, where the BoB go and wrap up their loose ends from Campaign 1? Thanks!

That was Tiamat, the evil god of dragons, and a Challenge Rating 30 monster.

Hrishi Venkatesh

Will you guys be doing any more live shows before the end of the campaign?

Who is everyone's hardest ships? For each of the boobs?

Jenny T

Q for Murph when did you decide that Akarot would be the real king of hell?

MJMM

Is one of the undead gods a Tarrasque?

Jack

Emily's voice sounds like it would work really well in a villain role, and as such, have you guys considered playing a oneshot or something as villains?

JimJam

Also, Murph, have you ever been derailed in a significant enough way that its affected the structure of the show from that point? What happened (I guess, aside from vampire Hardwon)

Jay V

Murph, was it hard to write personal layers of hell for Emily and Jake, since their characters didn't have anything as obvious as Beverly's dad to really get to them?

Jenny T

There are so many races now between volo’s, ravinica, eberron, etc. What is a race you think would be really interesting to play but is outside of your “comfort zone”? Is there a class you’ve never played and are eager to play?

Aidan Bee

Do you have plans to have anyone else from the College Humor crew? Do you think after everything is said and done; the band of boobs would become sky-pirates, before settling down in the creek?

Wow... No let's edit this. "What edition are you guys are playing? Will Murph ever write a campaign book; so others can play?

Kelli Barnes

if you had to make a new character this late in the game who would you make? What are your predictions for the end of the campaign? Why are you guys so god damn awesome? How does it feel to be best friends with people you’ve never met?

Jacob cooper

What items do you guys still have unused on your character sheets from way earlier in the Campaign (Bahumia and/or Trinyvale)?

Hrishi Venkatesh

I have a question for Murph. How far in advance did you have the Ilsed/Akarot twist planned out? It was a great reveal!

Alexander Mills

Which of the Villains you've fought do you think is the most sympathetic? i.e Who do you think would have the coolest prequel story?

Matteo Cina

Will the Band of Boobs ever come back for one shots or will they be out of sight out of mind once the next campaign takes place?

Will Moonshine's single level of Barbarian be the final multi-class we'll see from the Band of Boobs, or can we expect to see some more shenanigans?

Mark Mcknight

Did you have a plan for pendergreens when you introduced him or was he just a chaotic element? Did you expect him to play this important of a role?

Do the Boobs have retirement plans? What's next for our beloved heroes?

On a scale from 1-10 how scared is Murph of getting his bell rung in the final battle? P.s. When we getting the #1 Fuccboi?

Taylor

What’s the most emotional part of the campaign for each of the Band of Boobs (Balinor included) and for each of the players/dm?

If Emily plays a bard in the next campaign, can she bring her Ukulele and serenade us constantly?

Lucas Machi

To Emily, Caldwell and Jake: which battle have you been most genuinely nervous about in the build up to? Whether due to risk of character death, or just the emotional load of it, which one has been the fight you've dreaded the most? For Murph, which fight were you most nervous about running - whether its a bunch of moving parts, or fear of TPK, or needing certain beats to happen, what's the most nervous you've been as the person having to run the fight?

Jay V

Jake and Caldwell what do you think Hardwon and Bev would have done if Moonshine really stayed in hell Bonus Murph would have Balnor tried to take the crown from her out of pure love

Amy Driver

Any ideas for characters on the new campaign?

What would have happened to balnor If he would have taken over hell?

Murph, what's a monster you'd really like to try out in an encounter? Maybe not in this campaign but maybe the next. Caldwell, Emily and Jake, what's a monster you'd guys like to go against?

Kourtney McCrary

What was the 5 headed dragon that the mages tried to summon?! Caldwell said he knew what it was and I couldn’t remember anything! 😭

On a scale of 1 to 10, how well would Jake, Emily, and Caldwell fair in a hand to hand fight to the death against Hardwon, Moonshine, and Bev? 1 being utterly destroyed by the characters and 10 being the players completely demolishing the characters

Brandalf The Bae

I'm about to play my first campaign and when creating a character what key points would you say you need for their backstories? Don't want one to short or to long with to much.

When are you guys gonna fight a tarrasque... Was that the dino god murph described in the last bahumia episode?

Yusuf Qureshi

When will Emily DM a campaign?

Lucas Machi

do you guys think you would do a modernish setting for campaign 2 or keep it in the same fantasy genre its always been?

Brad Copland

Question for Jake and Emily : now that you have been a player in dnd for the podcast if you wanted to what kind of campaign would you want to run if you were dming?

Kyle Taylor

What would have happened if the boobs went to iron deep instead of frost wind?

Cameron chai

Who do you guys think is your favourite villain you’ve faced?

Hrishi Venkatesh

Any secrets about the possible next campaign yet? Or are you guys just purely focused on the here and now?

BlurryVizion

Who was the cloaked figure that got wrecked by the god husk?

Jibe Goslee

Where was Balnor?

Lucas Machi

Have you guys already made characters for the next campaign yet?

Lucas Machi

What's something in the campaign you would have liked to see/experience more of? Is there anything you wanted to do differently?

Have you all considered doing a show at SXSW this year?

Tyler T.

What race/class combos are you all interested in trying in the future?

Keirsty Holland

What edition is you you guys are playing? Will Murph ever write a campaign book, so others can play?

Kelli Barnes

For balnor: I've lost track, What's in the bag?

Shawn Magill

I know that y'all batch record the episodes, and then do the short rests remotely. Do you find it difficult to act like you don't know what is gonna happen, or accidentally let stuff slip that gets edited out? As always, thanks for the awesome show. Can't wait to hear the holiday stuff coming up and where they story goes after the hiatus.

Chris

When thinking of encounters, murph, do you keep your pcs in mind? By that I mean with their resistances, strength, amount of attacks. That sort of thing.

Kourtney McCrary

Can you guys talk about classes you guys are thinking about playing for campaign 2. Bonus points for unearthed arcana subclasses.

Austin Hendry

If Balnor wasn't pulled, would Ol' Cobb still be with the boobs?

Kevin Rich

Do you guys have a West Coast live show your planned?

Christina C

Where do you see your characters after the campaign and how do you think they would affect future campaigns thanks guys

Nathan Cartier, The assistant king to the assistant king of IronDeep, Hail to the Hammer!

FMK Illsed Pentagreens Erdan

Lucas Machi

Jake are you fucking psyched for the DK one shot

Darby Nicole Mishra

What is the biggest role you wish you could have changed for good or bad?

Guardian of Light Zach H

If a character was to die in these last episodes (Kord forbid!) would you even want to make a new character?

How do the Boobs keep it light during such dire situations (i.e. the upcoming battles with literal reincarnated gods)?

Darby Nicole Mishra

Also, where was Balnor?

Andrew

Will Jake or Em ever DM a campaign/one shot for us?

Hrishi Venkatesh

Will the second campaign take place in the Bahumia universe or something completely different?

Andrew

Are the pins en route? Can't wait to proudly display my membership to the 2 crew.

What's your favourite Whomping from the whole campaign?
