Welcome to the campaign session. You got this. You got this. I'm the other guy from the out for this.
Starting point is 00:01:36 You got it right. Minus one. Oh, he's got a chalk knot, Quay. This is just a people-y on profession. You can't put it around. You were talking about how to intro it, and you were like, okay, I got it. And then we launched it.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Well, here's the meta thing about it. I was like, if I fuck it up, it'll be funny. So I'll just go in with nothing. And I'll come out with nothing. And it'll be fine. I love it. That is like confidence. That's that comedy classic though.
Starting point is 00:02:04 When in doubt, just fall down some steps. It's always funny. Yeah, so this is not quite session zero. The gang does not have their characters prepped yet, but I figured we would do a- Or maybe we're keeping them close to our chest. Or maybe we're keeping them close to our chest. Is that what you say when you have poker cards?
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yes. Close to the end. Close to the end. Yeah, close to the card. Yeah, I've got my cards Clinch between the butt cheeks. There you go. That would also be my cards down my throat. Okay Well, I lay them down their face up. Okay, playing Henry hog this again Same guy The cars continues. I'll be fiat again. Okay, this feels kind of productive. And Carlos also going to be fiat.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Hey, Carlos also be fiat. This is really confusing. To theists. So I was saying to these guys off mic, kind of what I imagine this being is, this is, again, not quite session zero, but this is like the email that I would send to these guys as we did character creation,
Starting point is 00:03:10 sort of the talks that we would have as we went into this campaign, instead of doing that off mic, why not do it on mic? Hell yeah. The email before the campaign, before the campaign. There we go.
Starting point is 00:03:24 That's so extroverted of you, Murph. Oh, yeah. I can't, I love attention. Live out loud. Yeah, you're freaking drinking my social batter. I'm online all the time. You're a ham, man. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:35 So, uh, yeah, so this will kind of feel maybe like something we would normally do on Patreon, but it's the hog glides. So everybody gets a little taste. It is. Okay, hogladeys, actually. You thought that maybe you at home thought maybe you would go another year without hearing the phrase hogladeys again, but hearing it in your ear once again.
Starting point is 00:03:56 No, we gotta get it in what we can. The hogladeys season is actually November to February. Yeah. Well, the fact that we got a couple of hoglet days coming up in January. The hoglet days come once in a blue moon. I saw someone on Patreon spell it, hoglet days instead of D-A-Y-S. It was D-A-Z-E. And I was like, that's can't end. That's too much.
Starting point is 00:04:20 That's good. That's what we call a hat on a hat. No, I want to wear two hats if that's what I want. It's too much. That's good. That's what we call a hat on a hat. No, I want to wear two hats if that's what I'm gonna do. It's too much. Here's the thing, a fox with two tails, two hats on that fox. Why not? I love it. Sweet guys, so you know what, I'm gonna do,
Starting point is 00:04:37 and this might be something we hear later, but I'll probably punch it up, because this was all just written to be very casual, because again, I'm a fucking just cool-ass casual dude. This is just normal stuff. Your confidence today, your confidence today is like I'm a confident, I'm normal. I'm just a new year, I need a lot of you.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You're confident, you're normal, you're chill, I'm confident, normal. And when everybody's getting breezy man, keep going, get rushing in. Emily gave me Jack's Skellington Boxers For Christmas and they're they're fucking comfy. It's really because they like look really good on him Like they're a very I found like the ones that were like the most comfortable and well-rated and then they look very good But there's so many jacks Skellington faces all these are five star Skellington's there. Yeah five star Skellington faces. These are five-star Skellingtons. They're five-star Skellingtons. There's a lot of Skellingtons.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Are they full boxer or they briefs? They're good questions. They're boxers, but Emily bought me a size. They're the tight ones too small. So they're just super tight boxers. My quads look really good in them. That's awesome. You can't tell me this information
Starting point is 00:05:40 because now every time I see you, if I'm gonna be wondering, is he rocking the Skellies? We're gonna try to pants you on tour. I'll just show you guys. Literally, I'll just show you. You can add to it. Yeah, he's ham. You can say he's confident. I'm just a confident fucking guy. You can just ask me if I'm scaling up. Dude, you could just go to his latest Instagram post.
Starting point is 00:06:02 You can see it. Whoa. Not even a story, it's just go to his latest Instagram post. You could see it. Whoa. Yeah. Not even a story. It's just there for everyone to see. Incredible. That's on main, right? Yeah, as we all know, I'm very fucking horny on main. His thirst trap. My family's on followed him.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I might be the least horny person on Maine that is ever existed Anyway, he's celibate on Maine. Yeah, they're absolutely fucking celibate Abstinence on me. I'm not on Maine. I'm not on Maine Well isn't that the isn't that the greatest abstinence of all Yeah, you're smooth as hell on main. I'm edging on main. Okay, let's give the people with that Yeah, all right now you're a picture of Merff and Jack Skellington Boxer the Boxer really is hog low-end after all
Starting point is 00:06:58 The funny thing is is that like I feel like I we have kind of like a cool Setting thing coming up, but it's been completely undercut by how it's about about Jack Skellington. Anyway, okay, so this is a little bit of a tagline, and this is something I'll rewrite later, but you may hear it again as we get into the actual campaign, but here's a little tease. Let's go read the draft. Welcome back to Bahomia everybody. Two hundred years after the Allah's cataclysm and subsequent defeat, the world looks very different. In the time since our last adventure, the floating city of Gladehome became a bastion of knowledge
Starting point is 00:07:56 and discovered many scientific and magical breakthroughs. However, the utopian city eventually outgrew the mortal realm and transported itself to the astral plane. With many of the world's best, brightest, and most advanced, gone to deal with matters of universal importance, a struggle for power has emerged on the material plane. There have been 200 years of relative peace, but without glade Home to hold them together. The five remaining kingdoms quietly vie for power as tensions. Bubble. Oh fuck yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:31 This is the whole time I'm hearing this. Yeah, you guys don't know anything other than... Awesome, I got the chills. Yeah. I'm bumpy. My skin's bumpy my friend. Then I've got some info on these like five remaining kingdoms and kind of updates on like where some settings are at now. I've got some info on these like five remaining kingdoms
Starting point is 00:08:44 and kind of updates on like where some settings are at now. But you know that Lord, do you remember from campaign one? Oh my God. So the five kingdoms are iron deep. The great minds were once collapsed during the Alice Cataclysm, but have been rebuilt to become the greatest power of the West. A population of mainly dwarves occupy the inner mountain while the surrounding areas occupied by
Starting point is 00:09:12 huge population of humans and others. Then there's Osmodia. The curse over this once lost city has been lifted. Hundreds. Yes, it's back, baby. Hundreds of traveling bands of Orcs have reunited and rebuilt the city of Osmovia, quickly turning itself into a military power and becoming one of Iron Deeps greatest allies. There we go. How's the food though? The food?
Starting point is 00:09:40 Oh, that is great. I imagine pretty good. Yeah, they've been mostly traveling around. So I'm assuming they picked up a lot of things along the way. Oh, fuck, it's melting hot. Also like what? Cricks, spices. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:52 When you have been cursed for a while and you finally come back, you really want to enjoy yourself. I would think. So you take the time, you make meals, pleasure ball. I think it's a combination of things. It's learning a lot of stuff while you're going around and meeting all these other people, but then also being like, well, if this is what we can do
Starting point is 00:10:13 on the road, imagine what we can do if we're in one place for a long time. The full industrial kitchen, yes. So that's, that's Canon now that they, it would add up, stop bugging. The food of Asmodia, we're always, our new characters are always dreaming of in Asmodia and Yale.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Um, another one of the major powers, of course, is Frostwind. To the north, the Frostwarves have finally reached a peace treaty with a new leader of the Frost Giants. For the first time ever, the greatest military power in Bohemia is seemingly no longer distracted by petty squabbles. Huge for them.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Huge for them. Where'd it go? But what does it mean? So yet for the rest of the world. So they're not battling, they're not battling giants anymore. Correct. And they have an alliance with the giants.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Yes, it's just a giants alliance. A giants alliance. And there's just a beautiful science. A giant's alliance. So, yeah. So now there's just a huge continent of extremely tough dudes. That's awesome. The tall in this mall.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Making a wall. The tall, small, making a wall. The giant's alliance. All right, so my character is 100% from Brosgit now. Oh, Brad. And then brand new, the Fey Archipelago. And maybe not an archipelago, but we're calling it that for now. Opening the Plainar Rift,
Starting point is 00:11:35 led many travelers from the Feywild, the Bohumia, with the uniting of the Seely and the Unseely Court in the Feywild, Fey traditionalists, who may have liked things the way they were and wanted to carve out a new thing, but then also adventurers who just wanted to travel to a new world have traveled to Bahumia to found a new place. They've created a magical series of islands where the Eladren now reside. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:12:02 How close is that to Rins Island? Rins is, oh, God. Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I feel like Caldwell's style of improv is to ask me questions. I'm so sorry. Sorry. I just like to think that Rins Island was displaced by this new cool archipelago.
Starting point is 00:12:21 That's my head. Well, I'm like, how can I be funny? Is Rins an outer space? So, rent is in the astral plane, right? rent is probably in the astral plane. So he probably just has like a spaceship. Yeah, rents, rents probably one of the few NPCs that's still alive.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I guess it would just be like, oh yeah. The dwarves would be very old and the elves would be fine. And everyone else is dead. Oh no! Oh no! That's so exciting. Well, you know, people are 200 years old.
Starting point is 00:12:48 People are powerful, so maybe, you know, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna spoil anything, but general lifetime is humans, super dead, elves fine, dwarves, older, halflings dead, chaffles? Who knows? Oh, interesting. I'm very interested. I'm most likely dead, I think, but we are. But recently, hard ones only been dead for a little bit of power.
Starting point is 00:13:15 A lot of power. It's a very funny, just vibe for the intro here. Just those things who's dead. Just those things who's dead, it is not. Yeah, just read us the obituary's right now. Yeah, I'm like, just because I don't, the last thing I want is to go into this campaign. And for every single time I introduce a new NPC to be like,
Starting point is 00:13:37 do you guys think that secretly, Ren? Do you guys think that secretly, Irwin? Is that secretly this person? It's like, no, it's no one. It's just no one. They're openly dead. Yeah, some of them are, well, no one.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I mean, you know what, that's a beautiful thing. They like it's like, it's not even like they're openly dead. It's like, we're probably not gonna hear about them. Nanakine Leaf though is surviving on Spy To Loan, right? Nanakine Leaf, and we're there. Nanakine Leaf died 10 years after. Nanakine Leaf died a hundred, nine years.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Did G-Joke on a werehers? Yeah, she's the one. Yeah, not a werehers. She was a little cause more. Yeah. No, I will not confirm anything in the canon of like who's alive and who's dead because. It may not happen.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Also, we don't need to talk about it. We don't need to, I mean, it's honestly funny to talk about, so I think it's fine. But yeah, people are powerful, so being a human or being a half-leg or something does not mean that you are automatically 100% dead, but it does mean that you don't have to at me about bringing back B.C.s,
Starting point is 00:14:41 because I'll just say it now, close to a murk on. That's just the word here. And they had beautiful lives and beautiful stories. And Nana Kainley, if it's still alive, surviving on spite and what. Nana Kainley might be alive. So you can really just say they're not there. They're not there. And it's like, they're dead alive.
Starting point is 00:14:58 It doesn't matter if they're not there. And also, these will be new characters. So it's the equivalent of being like, does Jake's character know who Beverly Togalt's dad was? Probably not. Maybe he's a huge fan, I don't know. Maybe he's a huge fan. Anyway, but our next six live shows
Starting point is 00:15:19 will just be funerals for characters in Boohamie. Yeah, I'm excited for that. Oh my God. I'm so funny to play a Beverly fanboy. That's what I'm gonna. for characters in Boohamie. Yeah, yeah. You're excited for this. Oh my God. Yeah. God. I'm so funny to play a Beverly fanboy. That's what I'm gonna do. Oh my God. I did think of doing that for one of your characters
Starting point is 00:15:32 and I was like, that sounds funny for two. Yes, that's a very funny person. And then I would suddenly be like, ah. Much like Beverly has got very short legs. And finally, the fifth kingdom, the city where our adventure will start. Ooh. Esri!
Starting point is 00:15:50 We going to the whole party. Oh, I love it. Hold the phone is Jonathan still alive and he's Jonathan there and he's stunning. Jonathan? Okay, actually, let me look at Nome's. Nome lifespan. Huh? I played a Nome.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Again, not saying anyone's necessarily dead. Uh huh, over there. Wait, I come, okay. 200 to five, do you want to have five to five hundred years? I know, but that's just Google saying that. It's not based on D&D. It's just like, this is a long no for real. Yes, no, no, D&D says they can live through
Starting point is 00:16:20 350 to 500 years. Oh, oh, Tonnathin, one of the more likely people that's alive. Wow. I love to be an attired middle-aged. All that's important is that the bonfers are dead. They're not. They're not. He'll at least don't at me.
Starting point is 00:16:36 They're not dead. Oh, hungry Dave is 100. Yes. Oh, there's no pollution. Hungry Dave dies like next week. Give me a chance to DM for them again. Oh, his own collision. Hungry Dave dies like next week. Give me a chance to DM for them again. Oh, kill. Oh, dark.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Jesus. The thought of hungry Dave dying tragically is so. It's so sad because he would have loved to get to go to his moody and eat their food. But like, fortunately, he slipped on some ice. So anyway, Esri, let's talk about this. Ezri, largely unharmed by theoliscaticlism, Ezri had a huge head start on the rest of the world.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It has become the sole surviving kingdom on the eastern side of the continent. With Gladehome often space, Ezri is easily the most advanced society in Bahumia. The Esri bubble now protects a multi-tiered city of airships and magic technology. Technically, there is a royal family, but they are merely pawns of the real powerhouse, Alon Inc. A magic tech company that controls the city top to bottom. The company's headquarters is in an enormous area that hangs over the city called the Mother Ship. Alon Inc. subject to change, but I think the Mother Ship is cool.
Starting point is 00:17:53 So that's Stan. Are we fighting like billionaires in tech? Is that kind of like a body? There's definitely, you'll be fighting their goons. Oh, God, this sounds awesome. I love that. Although by video game and D&D standards, it is the higher up you are in the company,
Starting point is 00:18:10 the more HP you have for some reason, it's really huge. Sure. Yeah. It's like everything you do is, yeah. I had a thought about that before. I feel like we've talked about that how it's ridiculous. When you get a promotion, you get more HP.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah. I feel like it's curious. that. How does it make sense? When you get a promotion, you get more HP. Yeah. It's curious. It's like a five year gift. You get like, you know, like an HP ring or something like that. Yeah. It's in plus three armor. Like they give you the tough feet once you become a middle manager. I feel like it makes more sense in magic settings because it's like,
Starting point is 00:18:39 okay, this person is more magical, but it doesn't make a lot of sense in video games where it's like, ah, you're fighting a bunch of members of the mob, the muscle, those guys are easier. They're easier than like the few fun. We love that team in sopranos. Yeah, when Tony soprano gives Christopher Multisanti a plus 20 HP buff.
Starting point is 00:19:00 That's actually, that's a tough example because Tony actually does beat the shit out of most of the people under him. So maybe, it's a tough example because Tony actually does beat the shit out of most of the people under him. So maybe, it's a good point. Maybe they've got it right. Anyway, with one company controlling the local economy, all other legitimate businesses have been pushed out,
Starting point is 00:19:17 but that's to say nothing of illegitimate business. Whoa. So there's some shady characters for sure. This, I think we made the decision to kind of start this campaign in Esri because I thought it was like a fun setting and stuff, but it all ended up in campaign one. It was kind of just based around an arc with Adam with Stunkbug.
Starting point is 00:19:44 And that kind of didn't come in the whole, you know, rest of the campaign really. Yeah. It was like our first arc. So we're also like, at least me, I'm still like learning how to play D&D. Right. Yeah, we mostly just hung out at Stunkbugs house, I think.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Yeah. Yeah, we went shopping. We went to go shopping. We never go to that R&D. We never go to that R&D. Yeah, that was, we got cocktails. You guys were doing your normal thing. I know, we got cocktails at the New Man.
Starting point is 00:20:08 We got sliders and toppas. You guys got sliders and toppas. We ate food, we tried to go to shopping. When we have guests on you guys throw pacing out the window and just talk to the guest at bars for hours and then insist on going shopping. That happened twice. That happened with Brennan.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Well, you wanna know why though, where if the shopping thing is, the shopping thing is not the case because you're confusing it. It's whenever we get to a new town, we try to go shopping. And often times, it's the easiest way to get in a new character
Starting point is 00:20:40 is to enter a new town. Yeah. So the shopping and a new town are, because think about it, we went shopping in Frostwind, no guests there. Right, so we went to shop in a new town. You need a new outfit for every hour. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:53 I do this every live show. I go and I get a full-screen suit tailor. I don't disagree with that, but I think we can all agree that we've throw pacing out the window when a guest comes on. We're all going to go. I agree that we're bad with guests. It's a one yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Yeah, we have guests. Shopping is worse than we normally are. Shopping is fine, but you can't spend an hour like playing beer pong beforehand. You know what I mean? Like you have to. Wait, again, we also did that in Frostwin without. But you did that in Frostwin, but that was after you fought a fucking dragon. Oh, this is all there's just time to place this joke. I'm just joking around saying that we're bad with guests and without We are bad often right
Starting point is 00:21:35 generally I Just hope Renee is still there Renee is Adam said. That's what I heard now. That's where he got his tail layered. Oh, I love Adam's stunk bug. Work Frazier, it was truly the most beautiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:56 We did not know what we were in for, because at that point, we'd only done eight episodes or something. So Adam, I think we thought it was going to be kind of low commitment, then he ended up having to do like, fucking three huge sessions with us. Yeah, we learned a lot more. Which he did with Grace and humor. We very much appreciated it. He used to eat shit, isn't that what he ate?
Starting point is 00:22:17 He was, yeah. He'd talk about how he ate shit. And that was like, you didn't. He's eating actual feces outside of town, right? He was, Adam, Adam is a guest, would I would say. He was like, what if Amir was polite? You know what I mean? It was like, he still came in being like,
Starting point is 00:22:37 of course this is a comedy podcast. Why the fuck would you be serious? Like this is silly shit, let's all be silly. But he was like playing along and I'm here was like I'm here to kill you wait a second you go was a gnome right yeah that means you go you go you go is murdered there we killed you not in this time. I'm on the timeline straight. Yeah, you oh my god. So essentially we can have another Christmas special with you. Oh, with these characters meeting you go.
Starting point is 00:23:13 New go. And then just some updates on other places around Bahumia. Yeah. Hill home. Still around. Now on good terms with their neighbors in Osmovia. Still a lovely little place filled with halflings. There we go.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Cragwater, the dwarggers of old Cragwater have been cured of their myth or madness and now have a tenuous peace with their neighbors in Esri, they have taken up in the ruins of Galatoron because Galatoron, the fucking mountain fell. That's right. Yeah, holy shit. Galatoron's gone. Galatoron's gone. Yeah, I know. Cuz Glateron the fucking mountain fell that's right Gone Yeah, I know this feels like a wow expansion. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:51 You gotta just change it. Yeah, I like it or even like fortnight when they change the map It's exactly like fortnight which is why everyone is allowed to play in this new camp There's a lot of discussion of fortnight dances. There's a lot of now there's references to the map. There's Fortnite, yeah. We're gonna have a hundred players in this campaign and we're gonna slowly whittle it down. Whoa, that's kinda work. It would be very fun to play awful to listen to.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Imagine a podcast with a hundred hosts. Oh my God. Just going through the initiative role. Oh God. And then there would be like, yeah, like five people would tie for each initiative. So you'd have to like work that all out. Jesus. And one of them is Naruto for some reason. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:42 I've played much fortnight. They're not you can be You can be in Naruto. For sure, you can also be Sasuke and Kikashi. This is great. I guess we have our three characters picked all right. We go. Oh my God. Yeah, you can be Kikashi, I'm.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Oh my God. Then there's the Living Wood, a wild place of magical secrets and desperately sought after by Ezri. However, the tree ants and dragons of the woods have prevented it from being conquered. Yes. Holy shit. Are there trees writing dragons?
Starting point is 00:25:20 And this one. Well, we did have a horse writing a horse in the first camp. I was very true Someone will make a fucking joke about it, right? Like and then it'll be real. I think just that It was it was an earnest question I think would be sick Tree riding a dragon I feel like a fight dragon dragon. Yeah, I guess I guess a little what kind of tree? A shrub and a wankin shrub just riding a dragon. Yeah, I guess a little what kind of tree? A shrub and a wankin' shrub just riding a dragon. Yeah, just chillin', just livin'. Give us Lance riding dragons, Murphy.
Starting point is 00:25:52 At least a trist on a dragon. Yeah, they could be a trist, yeah. You know that a trist doesn't drive the dragon though. She goes shotgun. Yeah. Trist gets picked up. Trist gets picked up. I just gets picked up Did you oh and then within the living wood the Crick?
Starting point is 00:26:12 Done disappeared Those saw those some still say if someone in the living wood needs the hospitality of the Crick They'll be able to find it. I got the chills again Yeah, I got bumps on my bumps. So where'd it go? Oh. Let me look at my notes here. Something's literally a mess.
Starting point is 00:26:34 The Crick is a mess. The Crick is the Crick is the Crick. There you go. The Crick is a mess at the Crick. I think that'll be some of the new kind of like factions and stuff you guys are, we'll be dealing with is that there's, um, Ezri, they've got this, uh, new company, then, uh, the royals are kind of, uh, on their payroll. So like the army there, like the bubble nights, all these like synthetic eldritch nights, uh, are, are, you know, a problem or an ally for you,
Starting point is 00:27:02 kind of depending on, on where you land. Then there's all just outside the bubble on the outer rim area. And then possibly even within the bubble there are gonna be different gangs and organizations and everything like organized crime. And then you've got the living woods at one time was this magical place where you would go and you would go to the creek,
Starting point is 00:27:26 but now with Esri so close to it and kind of like really vying for power, the creek has had to quite literally protect itself and not only that, but there's dragons there. So if it... You're welcome from the sunshine. Yeah. There's straight up dragons in there.
Starting point is 00:27:44 So somebody coming in and trying to conquer it or something is going to get fucked up by dragons. But then not only that, there are high elves and crick elves, or they they might have been formerly known as those things. Now calling themselves dragon elves. What's there? Protecting the living wood, but not in a way that's necessarily
Starting point is 00:28:09 like just protecting it. More of like we caught you walking here and now you're dead. You know what I mean? Yeah. So not just killing people with bad intentions, killing kind of anyone that enters and that's at odds with the Crick Elves essentially
Starting point is 00:28:25 It's kind of like you walk into the forest and like you hope you meet a Crick Elf and not a dragon elf. There you go Sick I want to meet a dragon elf though because that's the sickest shit I've ever heard Someone can also one of you guys can be a dragon elf or you you could have it feels wrong because I feel like I Well, it's like hard because I like feel like I set that up for moonshine Mm-hmm, but then It feels wrong because I feel like I, well, it's like hard because I feel like I set that up for moonshine. But then it feels wrong to then play it again, but I never actually got to play it with moonshine. You didn't get to play it again.
Starting point is 00:28:53 And it's also, I feel like, I don't know, I feel like it's very A to C. It's like the dragon elves come from the Crick elves. You created both. If you played someone who had just left the dragon elves or something, then I don't think that would be weird. But I guess that's kind of the world that we're inhabiting. Do we want to talk a little bit about what people are
Starting point is 00:29:14 kind of thinking for characters without committing to anything yet, but like classes? I also have a quick question. Oh, what's how long has it been since Glade Home Disappear like how long we've been living in this period of like tension and unrest great question. I'll say and I will clarify this when we actually do our session zero or even episode one I would imagine that probably happened about 10 or 20 years ago. So it's like kind of recent history of like, there was this kind of glade home, I think,
Starting point is 00:29:52 because they have like the thinking cap, they had the Titans of Bohemia, they had all this like ancient knowledge and everything. So it had like the great magic university. So it became like this utopia where everybody could come together. And so that meant that it ended up being kind of the leader in like, you know, magical breakthroughs and stuff, but also then just like very progressive stuff as far as,
Starting point is 00:30:16 you know, taking care of people, maintaining peace and everything like that. But then the problem is... Shubbles in the astral plane called bigger problems called. Yeah, bigger problems called like the once you get to a certain point where the people of the city are like communicating with gods and stuff. Now the number of problems have grown astronomically where it's like now we know there's a problem in this plane. Now there we know there's a problem in this plane. There's a war amongst the gift or something like that So does this mean also that we could do like maybe we could also do a side campaign with moonshine hardwell and Beverly where we play
Starting point is 00:30:54 Star Wars 5a because we're in outer space Level 30 astro plane is not quite it's not quite in space. There's not like Gotcha, but you mentioned the giftIF, which is very exciting, because we touched on them so briefly in campaign one. And it's like, clearly, yeah, there was a lot going on there. So yeah, it seems like that's a whole can of worms as well. But... Star spawn.
Starting point is 00:31:21 A whole can of stars spawn. Yeah, Star spawn. We're if I was gonna ask, when Glade Home left, star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star star that like all the people of the world would come meet at. There was essentially like a special force brought together on Glade Home to help kind of solve these problems in the Astro Plane and the universe as a whole. Probably some kind of existential threat, which if there's an existential threat,
Starting point is 00:31:59 and it's like, all right, everyone behave when we need to go take care of. We need to make sure that we all continue to exist. Yeah, it's not just like, all right, everyone behave when we need to go take care of. We need to make sure that we all continue to exist. Yeah. It's not just, it's not just like, oh, they went off and now they're getting in other people's business. It's like, you know, enough people were able to use like divination magic to find out that bad things were coming.
Starting point is 00:32:19 So we're going to prevent it from happening to the material plane. It makes more sense for us to go do that than to sit here and play politics with Frostwin. Right, it's not like that. As a player, it's really, it feels like such a clever way to be true to the world, but also make sure that stakes are different and unique like for this world.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Oh, thanks. It's a really cool reshuffling, yeah, I like it. Yeah, I feel job. No, thank you so much. Good job. Good job, I agree. Remember we used to get done. Great, great. It's a really cool reshuffling. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, I think job. Oh, thank you so much. Good job. Good job. I agree. We'll use your dad on great. Great job. I agree. Great job. I agree. Oh, that was that was your lead to at me if you say great job. Yeah, how's wondering what that was? This episode of NAD pod is brought to you by Bird Dogs. There are company that
Starting point is 00:33:04 makes pants and shorts. So no matter where you fall in the age old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered. Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's gonna be difficult. Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier. Bird Dogs stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dog's invented a cloud-knit fabric
Starting point is 00:33:34 that looks just like khaki, but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement. And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals. So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother, make sure you are wearing bird dogs.

But I guess let's talk a little bit about what people are kind of thinking as far as class or what their character might look like or something like that. Or even we can talk through if, because I hadn't even set this to you guys as an email, like you guys have, all you guys knew what I was like, we're going to do Bohumi again.
Starting point is 00:34:36 It's going to be like steam punky again essentially, but it's going to be in the future. I didn't even say how far in the future. Wow. Yeah. New very little, but this is like, now I't even say how far in the future. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. New very little, but this is like, now I feel like this is filling in some things for me. So I have some thoughts, but Jake, you go first. Totally.
Starting point is 00:34:52 It feels like also like, I had, so what I wanted to be was a giant frozen guy. Um, cool. So I think I was thinking like, like, ultra. Yeah. I'm like, oh, well, actually. Yeah. I wanted to do like ultra. Yeah, I want it to do like a an eldritch night flavored with a lot of like freezing spells. Oh cool.
Starting point is 00:35:13 So I'm very interested in this alliance between frost giants and dwarves and frost wind because I wanted to play a galaeth Oh, right big like blue bearded dude that frees his stuff. That's rad. And. I love that. That's, you're thinking Eldritch Knight though? I am thinking Eldritch Knight because I was a little paladin and it looked like it was gonna be too hard
Starting point is 00:35:36 and it scared me a little bit. Yeah. Eldritch Knight is really cool. I'm very excited to see you play it. Yeah, Eldritch Knight. It's also a nerfs like, like because you kind of have to get the DMs attention. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:35:49 nerfs like favorite class. So you are playing into I do, I do like it. Yeah, sweet. Very sweet. I'm ready for some magic. I like the idea of like sling and spells, but not necessarily sling and spell binders.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yeah, needing a card. It actually is like a pretty small spell list because you can only use two different schools of magic. I forget which ones they are. Yeah. But you'll be able to get shield. You do get shield. Yeah, there's a, I mean, all the spells that I saw were fucking sick, especially the, like, the freezing ones. They're really fun.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Oh, right. And I have to like boost my, it's, your intelligence is like your spell casting modifier, I think. Yeah. Oh, you'd have to play smart character. Yeah, we're just kind of crazy. Oh. That's really fun.
Starting point is 00:36:33 That cold icy intellect, I love it. Yeah. Get ready. I'm playing someone smart guy. I feel like smart in D&D always, I, for me, it always just translates to like, you know a lot of stuff, but you're still a dumbass in other ways. Yeah, I mean, I'll have to do that. I feel like that smart D&D always. For me, it always just translates to like, you know a lot of stuff, but you're still a dumbass
Starting point is 00:36:45 in other ways. I mean, I'll have to do it. I feel like that smart in real life though. True. True. Yeah. Truly everyone has, truly everyone makes a little devil's bargain
Starting point is 00:36:56 when it comes to their skills. Yeah. Yeah, you got to put your points somewhere. Yeah. And as a Goliath, I would say, well, first off, if you can be from anywhere, like, a hard one was literally raised in a dwarf well first off you can be from anywhere like hard one was literally Raised in a doorfinage so you can be from where the fuck you want Um, right but
Starting point is 00:37:11 Probably the most common places would be like either from like the frigid north or There was also the Goliaths that you guys ran into with Tonathon that were in like the mountains near the glater on glades and stuff. So like, Oh, protecting the watcher, yeah. You could do something like that. It might make more sense to do like Frigid North.
Starting point is 00:37:32 Frigid North seems very cool. Yeah, blue beard. I love it. Yeah. Very, very. We talking like a bushy beard or like, what sort of beard style you're going for? I think it's gonna have to be close cropped
Starting point is 00:37:43 because hard one had the big beard and I need to differentiate. Oh, that's true because I was going to say you should do like whenever people draw like pictures of like Borealis or whatever the sort of like, I can't remember the name the sort of wind god. Yeah. They always draw like sort of curly, cute like long beards. So I was going to suggest that but you're right.
Starting point is 00:38:02 You should do something different. I got to suggest that, but you're right. You should do something different. I gotta look that up, though. Cause I was literally thinking the name, like I was looking at like Aurora, Borealis style words for my name, because I like the idea of being up there from like the Northern Lights and stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Yeah, I'm trying to remember what the guy, or maybe it's just Borey something or other. Borealis, Borealis. Boreal. Oh yeah, Borealis, Greek God of, oh yeah, Borealis, Greek, God of North, wind and winter. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of. Yeah, wow, this guy's sick.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Yeah, that's who I am. You just nod up back, God. You got your guy. Yeah. Amazing. When we talked about this, I think we talked about it on Mike, but I encourage everybody to just like, if what you want to do is to play a big fucking strong guy, do it literally
Starting point is 00:38:52 every time, it's only going to be more fun to lean into the things we want to do. This is what Mike says after I had a long conversation with him pitching that I started out as a commoner. Also pitching to him that I don started out as a commoner. Also pitching to him that I don't know what my skills are. She wanted to do, yeah. She wanted to do what the fuck shitty movie was that? I wanted to do Born I Dead. You wanted to do Born I Dead.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And like basically wake up and not know anything and then just have to kind of explore and find out what I'm good at. That's pretty fun. And I was like Emily, you've helped with the world building so much. Like, literally as moonshine, you created a giant part of the world. That was arguably the best part of the world. As Fia, the character made the setting feel real. And now you want, in addition to me having to build the world,
Starting point is 00:39:42 also having to build your character, but zero help. Let's see what happens. Yeah. I just thought it would be very interesting. Yeah. You would also constantly be digging little tracking devices and USB thumb drives out of her skin, so that could lead to a lot of exposition.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Oh, yeah. Yeah. I could really help with a lot of the born role play. Yeah. So you can't think of anything worse for a DM than like constantly having to just improvise, you finding out things about yourself. Oh, I just met Moore, so like you would have my stats, right?
Starting point is 00:40:14 So I'm like, make moves, but I don't know what I'm good at yet, you know? Oh, interesting. So that was what was interesting to me is like finding out. And it only happens for like a couple, a couple sessions. So, and then you get your character sheet and you finding out. And it only happens for a couple sessions. And then you get your character sheet and you find out. It's easy, it's interesting to me also. We're a few do it.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Yeah, I do it. Yeah. Other than that though, Emily, did you have any other character ideas you were thinking of? I don't really want to say too much because it's just fun. Fun to. Your cards don't show any of that.
Starting point is 00:40:44 It's just kind of fun to have something're cards, don't show me that. It's just kind of fun to have something for yourself. But it is interesting that you say you're being this frigid thing Jake because I was thinking of playing in a lagerin. And I basically went to Murph. I was like, would it be cool? I kind of like like to the idea of being a Faye
Starting point is 00:41:03 but in like a Cosmopolitan setting. So that's where like the sort of fai archipelago thing came from. Although I'm not, I like kind of just wanted to imagine what like a like the trickery of the fai would be like in a city. So I'm just calling it fai-gis in my head right now. Fai-gis? That's so fucking funny. You're like a grifter and that's all I'm just calling it Vegas in my head right now. But. Vegas. That's so fucking funny.
Starting point is 00:41:27 You're like a grifter and I don't know what I will be. Yeah, I just kind of was like, well, what would the fate like if the because the face is always very from what I've seen as always like in a very natural setting. And I was like, well, what if it was in a cosmopolitan setting? What would it be like? And then so you've gone from Matt Damon in born identity to Matt Damon in Ocean's 11s,
Starting point is 00:41:48 which you've done here. I don't know what it'll be like. I'm just gonna read a bunch about the Fey and imagine how that would express itself as a city. You're a city-fay. Yeah. It does kind of feel like it would end up being like Vegas. Yeah, well, because it's like,
Starting point is 00:42:04 there's all this like, bartering and trickery because it's like, there's all this like, bartering and trickery and it feels like, especially in a place like Vegas, people would make some unsavory deals with Faye to get more money and stuff like. So like, I don't know. I so I was also like a New Orleans New Orleansy aspect to it that is certainly. I don't know. Yeah. The thing I was thinking of though also was that maybe this is that the city is like sort
Starting point is 00:42:29 of like they sort of closed off all the other portals to the Faye and so they're sort of controlling travel a bit. So I've been thinking about it like a port city like Venice or something like that. Do you have the idea of like show me some docs? So that's like kind of what I what I've been thinking of just what I originally my first thought was like maybe it'd be fun to play an Aladdin. We like went to the Fey. We met all these Aladdin. None of us played an Aladdin. The the seasonal stuff feels a little restrictive. But so but Murph gave me these really cool
Starting point is 00:43:02 like blue and white dice for Christmas. So I was like, I wonder if Jake is still going to play his thing and if that were the case, could I still be a winter faye? But I don't know. I think I want to play maybe a non-seasonal lagerian. But anyway, that's really what I'm thinking about, but I'll probably change my mind entirely in the last five minutes. There's definitely room for us both to play winter people.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Yeah, I was trying to think, is that fun? Yeah. I think that's awesome. It gives us a piece of, I don't know, it gives us something in common that we can bond over. I think we're ice buddies. Yeah, I also like, I'm like, I think it could be a crew of course. Sort of like the summer stuff of like fire.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I feel like Fia did a lot of fire, so I don't really wanna do like, if I were to do magic, I don't really wanna do like fire magic or anything. So, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a noodling. I love the idea of like a fifth season of Faye, almost, which kind of...
Starting point is 00:44:07 I've been thinking about the nuances within seasons, like mid-summer storms or flowers or stuff like that, and thinking of more nuanced things that might express themselves within a season. Oh, so totally. Micro-sens. Yeah, so that's all. I feel that I will talk about what about you? Called well, I'm planning on playing a snowman that's come to life
Starting point is 00:44:33 So a Rasty Actually, wait, this is frozen. Yeah, you won't die until season two though. That's great You'll know I Get a die Perfect and so I'll season two though, that's great. You'll know I, you're not gonna die. It's perfect.
Starting point is 00:44:46 And you'll come back. Yeah. Everyone will be so excited that I'm back. I'm actually, I'm really excited to talk about it because I feel like in the gap since we finished all the more and we've been doing side stuff, I feel like I've just kind of been percolating on a lot of different ideas,
Starting point is 00:45:02 kind of all based around different classes. So I would love to get your thoughts. One that I think I mentioned y'all before was playing kind of like a barbarian path of the beast character that's almost like a kind of, like artificial being, like maybe even like created somewhere in Ezri, that's like just basically designed as like a super soldier, like, chimera sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Because all of the path of the beast features are like, you have a tail with spikes and you have a claws you can use. And I thought it'd be fun to have a character that basically is a little more of like a, almost like a cross between a Bollywag and a cobalt or something like that. But with all the beast-yield features kind of mixed together. So that's one idea.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I also, I was really, I was looking at the way of the Astral Soul as a monk class, which I really liked. So you didn't get to play a monk. I did not get to play a monk, so I was kind of getting to play. And they're very, very fun. They are fun. But I thought like in a more like cyber setting,
Starting point is 00:46:03 like in a more like futuristic setting, like how would you do like Astral Soul And that would be fun to be kind of like a cyborg character with like holographic limbs that are like hard like that you can punch with Which I thought would be kind of fun another angle I had was a a bard who is basically like the cheerleader morale core for like all of the soldiers. So basically just like a... A robot, like a USO performer. Yeah, a German boy.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Yeah, basically the Buckel boy for like the actual soldiers. But doing that is like, there's like a bar, college of valor bar. Oh, that's cool. And the last idea I had was just to play a bully while I'm in a big sweater. That's the one. And you got it on the last shot. Yeah, no class.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Jason Bourne. What? No, you can't give it to someone else. No, you're Jason Bourne. I was listening. I was listening to fucking people. But also, Jason Bourne has a big sweater in the movie in the first one. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Jason Bourne. I also get to wear a big sweater. Yeah, but it's all big sweaters. And I'm like a get to wear a big sweater. Yeah, I'm like a big sweater. So I would have a big sweater as well. Okay, it would be a form thing. I would be a big sweater. Yeah, it's just a form sweater.
Starting point is 00:47:13 It's fully looking at a big sweater. Jason born in a big sweater. And the god of the North wind in a big sweater. Yes, for us. The only other idea I had for the Bullywag was maybe, I was looking at a circle of stars Druid. Oh, that's cool. Oh, I've played that.
Starting point is 00:47:33 It's really fun. It seems really cool. And I like the idea of maybe the stars, the star chart is like just markings on the Bullywag scan or something like that. That's cool. I will say, Paul, if you wanna play a bullywug, this is a rare, silly pass that I have
Starting point is 00:47:51 because I like frog so much in Chrono Trigger. So if like you ever wanted to play like just a little weird guy, like this is your fucking opportunity. If you let me have Mei-chan for my tongue. You've ruined it. You've been here. You have to play hard one.
Starting point is 00:48:09 You have to play just a human. I did think it'd be funny to just to play a guy that works in one of the offices for a long ink. Yeah, you could. But anyway, that's way too many ideas that I've been thinking over. So I'll maybe pick one of those. Although, it's hard to pass up the loophole of just a little frog guy.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And I like a frog, yeah. That could be fun. Yeah, I really like the frog guy. Back when Merr was talking about making it more sort of like cyberpunky, like one of the, because you said like just a normal guy, one of the things I had been thinking of, but call what I've been thinking of barbarian. So I stopped thinking about it, was playing an office worker
Starting point is 00:48:50 who basically had a jekyll-hide thing going on. And so she would basically have commoner stats until she raged in that shoe. Yeah, that's what changed. That's super fun. That seemed like a fun challenge should be having to use your rage strategically. Or like having like a super intelligent character.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Like it wouldn't even be common or sad. So it would be like, you would be good at one thing. And then when you rage, you would be a different thing. It's like, you would be like all sort of like intelligence and like just like very functional. This is kind of sounding born-esque in a way. There's a born quality to this. There is a born quality to it. There's a born quality to a lot of it.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Yeah, it is right now. But I feel like that when I was talking though, it was like a little less, like, do you want to, like, what is, what is a lawn ink like? What is the mat, what is their technology like? So, yeah, so I was going to say that, I think when I originally brought this up to you guys, I was like, oh, this will probably be like
Starting point is 00:49:44 a final fantasy seven type thing, like more like kind of cyberpunk than fantasy. But then as I was going into the world building, I was like, I would only want to do that for Esri, I don't want the whole world to be like cyberpunk. And so I think that means I just don't want to do cyberpunk. So I think if we're gonna, if we're gonna compare to a Final Fantasy B closest to like a Final Fantasy 9, which we've been playing a little bit lately. We've been playing a little bit of
Starting point is 00:50:11 to get inspired by our mental phase. It's great. So a lot of, basically it's, So when you talk about playing an animal, it feels like really fun for this world. Totally. Yeah. Because in Final Fantasy, there's a lot of like rat boys.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Yeah. Dude, that's a lot of like rat boys. Yeah Dude, I that's a really fun looking crew An alladron and like a lot of the rap boy Rapids I'm red sun. Yeah Would probably also be dead I Miss my dad so much. I miss my grandpa I never met. Oh, the said that he was the greatest wreck I never lived.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Oh man, I think you gotta do it. Anyway, we gotta get some tapas. He's the axiomodia. So I think the level of technology will basically be pretty similar to last campaign except it'll be more common. I think it'll be the type of thing, essentially, when you're in Esri, instead of having torches or regular lanterns, it'll be merchants on behalf of Alon Inc, being self-filling lanterns. It'll be like, you know, merchants on behalf of Alon Inc. being like self-filling lanterns. And then like maybe like little teleportation ports to get you to like
Starting point is 00:51:31 different areas of the city. Airships kind of like you had in Galatoron, but maybe like a little bit more advanced. Just kind of the like magical technology that we saw in an asri but like nice last time but like kicked up. Industrialized magic is in. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Brumbus. Brumbus everywhere. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Sweet. So we don't we don't fully have our party yet,
Starting point is 00:51:56 but it likely it'll be a really big guy and a laddron and some little weird guy maybe. Well, I also chose, because I knew that you wanted to be a Goliath. I knew that Kawa was interested in playing like some little guy. So I chose, like, literally visually limited myself to like something that would straddle between,
Starting point is 00:52:20 because if it was like, because I had wanted to be a gnome, but then like a gnome, a little guy, and a huge galaya. That's kind of fun though. I mean, dude, I don't hate it. It's all about the balance. It's like me just holding you guys on each shoulder. Yeah, that's pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:52:33 That's kind of fun too. All right. Yeah, I've been like, it could be a big frog is the thing. Yeah, that's true. It could just be a beefy dude. But yeah, I think I'm like, a lot of the stuff you're coming up with, with the face stuff. I think it'd be cool if you were in my gym.
Starting point is 00:52:51 My jam is excited. Then I follow this path. I am excited. That's why I was afraid of you being Jason Bourb because I need you.
