I would really like it if you would return to your roots for a future season and do dad-archetypes again. It’s so brilliant and so much potential for other dad-archetypes.

2025-06-25 07:36:40 +0000 UTCI love what Will said about his old DM, it sucks when your DM won’t allow you to make any real affect and railroads any of your rolls. I rolled a bunch of great rolls during this encounter with the big bad while I was disguised as their allies, it was over some lava pit and I had charmed them really well to this point, I then suggested we have a private conversation near the ledge so the others couldn’t here and hoping to push them down and instantly kill the boss and have us just automatically win. I rolled 3 Nat 20’s in a row and they said “he’s still suspicious of you and won’t come near” every time and waited till I had a bad roll and made us fight. Then when we won he gave us this kill the city, leave the evil guys in charge or help the orcs pillage the city and kill everyone. We came up with a lot of great alternatives like flooding the facility with lava, dropping the evil pillar into lava before it could release anything, every time he denied our options and smiled like he was some mastermind when he was just being a dick who wouldn’t let us make our own choices.
Delightfully Joyful

2022-10-16 03:00:53 +0000 UTCThis episode was so interesting to me! I think it’s a really good example of like the length and breadth of dnd content available now, like this podcast rlly has the same energy as taz where like the dice are there as an improvisational tool and don’t rlly enjoy the crunchy part vs like Dimension 20 which I feel like marries improve and crunch rlly well so like CR which to me is suuuper crunchy! I honestly enjoy all these types of podcasts and I love how ppl interpret and utilise dnd to their preferences and stories! Anyway I’m rlly enjoying dndaddies (On ep 15 and just subscribed to the patreon) and I’m excited for more >u<

2021-07-07 03:55:32 +0000 UTCSo, I just finished episode 61, which was (spoilers) a giant freaking emotional rollercoaster, and finally decided to join the patreon. Going to listen to this in order now, to get some more info ... looking forward to it!

2021-07-01 08:09:13 +0000 UTCOk. I have listened since almost the beginning but just a month ago became a patreon supporter. So now I’m listening to these in order (after finishing ATMOD just in time for the Oakvale episode. I cannot Belive how you are making me love you all even more. I have a response to like every single thing you say. I am really surprised Beth had never played. She is obviously even more brilliant than I even imagined because I never realized that. No fumbling. I started on these types of podcasts with TAZ because I FINALLY AT AGE 50 got to play D&D ; (Until Covid-19 git)in season 3 they are still fumbling occasionally. . Do , not like I actually play much, but I love how the dice shakes p the improv. I tried Magic Tavern and Mission to Sky’zzz they were, well, just improve. All have been so pro and so funny and you got the balance like TAz does but even more Pro. As a female identified human I am so so so glad Beth is there. Not that boys aren’t great.::::)

2020-09-16 00:22:53 +0000 UTCSo did you catch the step mom cheating?
TZ
2019-09-20 00:04:28 +0000 UTCYou're correct. Most of the podcasts I listen to don't sync the recap episodes with the actual episode numbers so it didn't click with me at first, but I do like that they do this.
Kyle Rackley
2019-09-11 18:24:21 +0000 UTCi think it starts at 8 so its in sync with the episodes

2019-09-11 18:07:22 +0000 UTCDoes talking dad start at 8 as a joke or am I missing something?

2019-09-05 23:59:48 +0000 UTCThat’s fair I prefer my power fantasies in private hidden away in my room in front of a computer uh wait hmm

2019-08-30 19:51:43 +0000 UTCWow I could listen to DnD philosophy all day. Writing and Gaming my two favorite things?! It's funny because my friends love arguing over the strategy of combat and the dms I know have no problem saying no to dumb ideas. I hate it, though I do recognize it as a valid way to enjoy a DnD game. It's the same way you would enjoy a videogame rpg just in board game form with more freedom. I disagree with Freddie though, I love steamrolling enemies because it makes me feel powerful like a superhero. Same reason people play games like the Batman Arkahm or Laura Croft series. It's just a dumb fun power fantasy that fits much better into a DnD format than a video game imo.

2019-08-29 06:33:45 +0000 UTCDude, wasn’t expecting the DM tips and tricks but was pleasantly surprised. This was such a great and wholesome listen. I can’t wait for more of these. Thanks for starting the Patreon 💕
