The Mountain Campaign - Episode 11
Welp, the ol' Dungeon Master made good on his promise to for this to be a deadly campaign. And now a cheery lil' torture room full of death bears! Okay let's stop being falsely optimistic for laffs, Dan has gone...
04.09.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 10
Our crew continues to engage in what is hopefully just a friendly game of drop-the-stone-scythe. So, time to wrap up this fight with the- undead demi-god? Or whatever? Juniper will probably be fine. For merch, social media, and more be...
04.02.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 9
Oh an archfey. That's probably not that big a deal, just that thing that some people worship that cause trickery that undoes reality. And this is just a chill little negotiation where we give away some trayzure! Easy peasy. For...
03.26.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 8
New artifact! Giant ghost vanquished through persuasion! The crew is on a roll! So as long as the next thing they meet isn't, you know, omnipotent or something, they'll probably be fine. Oh right, a Total Party Kill is supposed...
03.19.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 7
Haunted mountain stairwell ahoy! The giant behind them and a Glibbles in their pocket, our crew get to ascending stairs that aren't for touching. There is surely violence at the top, it sure would be nice if it was a...
03.12.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 6
Sooooo this fight with a mutated giant and a pile of sentient viscera has been fun and all, but it feels like about time to get the hell out of here. Our heroes kinda wanted to sneak through, and they'd...
03.05.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 5
As Pish Posh begins some very unpleasant business with the Flesh Meld and Glibbles sits in Juniper's pocket, it begins to seem as though Dan is more than willing to make good on his TPK threats. Hopefully everyone won't wipe...
02.27.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 4
It is time to traverse The Pillars of Despair Murder! The plan to jump from pillar to pillar unseen obviously fell apart long ago, but Glibbles the goblin is unafraid to lead the group anyway. Hammers will fall, and so...
02.20.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 3
Behold! A mighty hero emerges from the heavens to alleviate the burden placed on our heroes. Finally, with the help of this powerful bastion hope, there is a chance the vile dragon Glut will be slain. For merch, social...
02.13.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 2
It's time to head to the actual mountain! While the crew debates how to spell Mount Dukes, it becomes clear that yes indeed they picked the weirdest and hardest of the three paths. For merch, social media, and more be...
02.06.2024
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 1
Our heroes meet around Brian's table for the first time in almost 4 years! And some other heroes show up (the pencil and paper kind). There's two mountains, a dragon, and a nest. How will we rid this valley of...
01.29.2024
Mountain Campaign Announcement!
A quick message from Brian!
12.26.2023
Coming in January: The Mountain Campaign!
What's that? A special Christmas message from Brian? That's right! We recorded in Brian's house and we can't wait for you to hear it! We just need the holidays to pass so we can actually, you know, be available to...
10.17.2023
Update: New Campaign Coming Soon!
Thank you for following us here, please support us on Patreon if you can. We will see you soon, IN PERSON PLAY INCLUDED. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And for 3 bonus episodes...
10.03.2023
S5E60 Demigod Energy
Our season finale is here! Dan attempts to tie a tidy little bow on five season's worth of narrative (hence the season-long boss fight). Crits connect, epic praise is heaped upon the surviving members of the Ice Five, an old...
09.26.2023
S5E59 Final Final Boss
The doors to the courtyard have been opened and the real, very really final boss of the campaign has revealed itself. Will our heroes triumph or be smote upon the cobblestone? Listen and find out! For merch, social media, and...
09.20.2023
S5E58 Mechanical Men Ahoy
There are warforged at the gates of the evil city... Probably friends, right? In the meantime let's try to get out of here without stumbling onto another boss fight. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to...
09.12.2023
S5E57 That Whole Dimensional Problem
Oh riiiiight! We're not just in a crumbling tomb, but that tomb is in a weird pocket dimension, which is connected to the castle with a swirling vortex tether thing. Well you know what that means- it's balcony surfin' time!...
09.05.2023
S5E56 Tomb's Last Call
It's time to take the elevator up and get out of this tomb in an evil pocket dimension. Most of the crew is rolling well, but of course not everyone is. And no word on those damn NPCs, some of...
08.29.2023
S5E55 Collapse in Judgment
That Orcus is a pile of eyebally ooze, but it's never too late for Dan to keep that TPK dream alive. The crew is rushing towards a tomb of dead royalty... that's probably fine, right? For merch, social media, and...
08.22.2023
S5E54 Ticket out of Crown Town
With the floating demi-god crown in tow, it's time to book it the hell outta here. The boss... bosses?... is/are dead so this is probably not going to be hard or anything. Dan would never collapse the dungeon for a...
08.15.2023
S5E53 Hasty Exit
The mood has shifted for testicular-pulverization-reasons (no spoilers!) and its time to make a fast retreat from the battlefield. Hopefully only 5 or 6 NPCs will be left behind! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to...
08.08.2023
S5E52 Smashy Smashy
Well it took him long enough, but Orcus has realized that the elemental guy slamming his demon nards over and over again is something of a problem. Sorry Blaine, but this one's probably gonna hurt. For merch, social media, and...
07.25.2023
S5E51 The Final Demon
Blaine continues what now feels like a months-long ritual of destroying Orcus' genitals. Death saves are in the future of some characters, and apparently the players expected that to happen because it's a very emotional experience to get that far....
07.18.2023
S5E50 Chode Chopper
Yes, this is a reference to what Blaine is doing to the demon Orcus. The final battle appears to be turning in the favor of Ronnie's Raiders! Hopefully this is a very chill and not at all passive-aggressive dungeon master...
07.11.2023
S5E49 The Unfortunate Anatomy of Orcus
It was bound to happen if an evil, gigantic creature was walking around. Someone's character would inevitably realize whilst running between their legs that the canopy above was ripe for called shots. And then, of course, there would be disgusting...
07.04.2023
S5E48 Maybe We Kill The Demon
With the megalich bamfing in and out of existence, Ronnie's Raiders realize they should perhaps focus on killing the pig lord of death, Orcus. Meanwhile the NPCs keep getting slapped around to the point of being a real moral investment....
06.27.2023
S5E47 Invisilich
You know what really helps when you're fighting some really evil jerks? When one of them dips out of existence. Hopefully he won't reappear inside someone's body and make them explode like Blaine did on that one bonus episode! For...
06.20.2023
S5E46 Orcus Attack
Orcus now fully engages the crew along with Vallux, and NPCs start to get roughed up pretty bad. Need cheering up? Say the title of this episode out loud and it sounds like "orcas attack." Which, at the time of...
06.13.2023
S5E45 Smack Dab In The Middle (of Slaying a Lich)
Naturally it's a rough fight for Ronnie's Raiders, who are attacking Vallux relentlessly but unsure how to deal with the elder demon slowly stomping towards them from the next room. Maybe he just wants to ask a question and then...
06.06.2023
S5E44 Vallux
Time for everyone to fight the evil lich king we have heard about for 4 years! This is fine. Everything's fine. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And for 3 bonus episodes a month...
05.30.2023
S5E43 Flap Those Mighty Wings
A big old evil tunnel leading up to a big old evil door. The time has come for vanquishing evil many campaigns in the making. Will they set it all on fire? For merch, social media, and more be sure...
05.23.2023
S5E42 Harmless Little Cave River
No big deal, guys. Our crew just has to deal with a harmless little cave river. Probably not cursed or anything, just happens to be flowing past the lair of a millenia-old lich king. Nothing to worry about here. Everything's...
05.16.2023
S5E41 To Puzzle Or Not To Puzzle
Now that the herd has been thinned out a bit (RIP beloved NPC) it's time for everyone to make a choice- do they try to crack the elaborate puzzle laid out before them in the enchanted door, or do they...
05.09.2023
S5E40 Perilous Choices
Ronnie's Raiders are at the precipice of something huge, you know, just an uncomfortable ultimate evil presence. Now that they're in the king's basement kicking open his coffins, it's only a matter of time before they open a door and...
05.02.2023
S5E39 Sassy Immortality Cups
With the sad old headless king roasted, exploded, and generally annihilated, it's now time to loot and investigate his death chamber! Or, you know, we could just set it all on fire. Sorry, no Chris Tallman, he is shooting television...
04.25.2023
S5E38 Cursed Corpse Crushin'
Why not just start opening sarcophogi? What's the worst that can happ- oh right it could be cursed and absorb weapons and try to murder everybody. Enjoy the deliciously dark combat, the debate over whether Winifred has all her fingers,...
04.18.2023
S5E37 Coffin Talk
It's time for Ronnie's Raiders to do what they do best: upset the final resting grounds of some ancient evil! Also, to those who have asked, the group is still settling on the final spelling and also goes by Ronnie's...
04.11.2023
S5E36 Names of Legend
The crew just left an elevator filled with acid, so things are probably going to get super cheery and tidy now! And, finally, the fearless leader of the group names the crew. Just in time! There's some coffins to root...
04.04.2023
S5E35 Evilator
The torture room cleared (except for the huge gruesome mess) our heroes arrive inside some sort of evil elevator. That's right- an evilator! Do they use that word within the episode? No. But all like to have fun around here. ...
03.28.2023
S5E34 Stairwell to Lich Hell
The big beefy demon dude with a plate of iron nailed to his face has tumbled into a corner of a stairwell and it's getting pretty dicey to just stand around in that stairwell. What lies on the other side...
03.21.2023
S5E33 Nailface
The big disgusting bad guy is no match for a bunch of heroes who like to pin big bad disgusting bad guys into a corner! Also there's 4-5 NPCs around now, which feels pretty cozy! May the only blood spilt...
03.14.2023
S5E32 Torture Chamber Chaos
The group enters a room where the NPCs go bonkers, more NPCs are discovered, and they all go bonkers too. Time to light it all up! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And...
03.07.2023
S5E31 The Verdant Swirly
We left our last episode on a cliffhanger- will Queep and Friar Jolly survive the low roll in the swirling green magic tunnel?! Well, Dan kind of cut Ken off so, Ken might actually have a plan. Also first we...
02.28.2023
S5E30 Hell Delving
No big deal, just an extremely haunted library to get through, and then our intrepid heroes can descend into the horrors beneath the royal keep. Though all the NPCs are still alive, shocking as that may be, between the four...
02.21.2023
S5E29 Jolly Return
Chris Tallman is back! Ken is too! The full crew is faced with the prospect of fixing an undead Bunk, who may or may not be in the process of being posessed by the archlich. And, well, leave it to...
02.14.2023
S5E28 Death Fissure
Sometimes you just gotta make a giant murder worm explode. Sure there was collateral damage and the room is a pile of rubble, but nobody probably heard anything. Let's just get everyone... mostly patched up and march boldly forth to...
02.07.2023
Sick Week Apologies
Sadly there's no new episode this week, but we are recording and will have it next time!
01.31.2023
S5E27 Walloped Warriors
What's a purple worm fight without a massacre? Well, we sure don't know. Everyone is in pieces and its time to see who can be put back together and who is gonna end up all Humpty Dumpty and shattered on...
01.24.2023
S5E26 Now With Austin Powers
Things get bleak when it comes to worm murder, and so the riffs get as weird as humanly possible. Sadly no Chris Tallman for a few episodes, but he is doing well and we he'll be back ASAP. For merch,...
