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 for ...
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, ...
01.17.2023 S5E25 What a Wormhole Well, it was bound to happen. A gigantic classic monster exploded up from beneath the royal hall, and is taking chomps from our heroes. As long as everyone rolls well this should all be fine. Right? For merch, social media, ...
01.10.2023 S5E24 What Once Was Royal The path cleared, the crew must now crack open the doors to the royal hall, which appear to have been overgrown with magic vines for years, if not decades. It feels pretty unfun, because even though two of our heroes ...
01.03.2023 S5E23 Getting So Thorny The royal hall of the lich king is buried in thorns, brambles, and branches. Luckily two of our crew are experienced at dealing with flora, Dr. Uid of course, but also newcomer (and huge fan of Dr. Drew Hugh Uid) ...
12.27.2022 Merry Holiday Message! A brief message from us to you, the people who make our dreams come true! Look, it's a song! Patreon supporters- our Decemebr bonus eps are still on the way!
12.20.2022 S5E22 Sleigh Ride (Plus Monster Murder) After an official, heavily rehearsed Christmas Carol, our crew just might focus enough to take down the gigantic gelantinous cube and the clutch of will-o-wisps. Will they save the mysterious wizard, or will they kinda forget he's there and let ...
12.13.2022 S5E21 Gleaming the Lube If you've ever wanted to imagine a monk punching acidic jelly, well then today is your day! The battle with the gelatinous cube continues, and hopefully Dan will get to live out his dream of seeing one of his friends' ...
12.06.2022 S5E20 Multiple But Limited Doors Back to the action! It's time to raid the Royal Hall, which is bound to have more activity within than some of the patrol hallways. And that means the real dungeon crawl is beginning in earnest! Hopefully nobody will already ...
11.29.2022 S5E19 TEN YEAR CELEBRATION! (with surprise Gerry Duggan) Nerd Poker is turning 10 years old! And Dan has something sneaky up his sleeve to surprise the rest of the cast, but you get to know before you listen. Gerry shows up, and we all sip wine and Scotch ...
11.22.2022 S5E18 The Royal Hall Looms Our crew has gotten through swarms of harpies, retinues of soldiers, and spooky ancient traps. Now ahead we see the royal hall, the vile archlich king somewhere in its subterannean chambers. Time to rest and make a terrible mistake? Did ...
11.15.2022 S5E17 Free the Portcullis If progress is to be made towards the lich's keep, first this small sample of his army must be dealt with. And if you're looking for some classic decaptitations, boy do we have an episode for you!
11.08.2022 S5E16 Lever Fever Oh great, they finally found the undead army patrolling the castle. All that stands between our crew and progress are iron portcullises and a inconvenient levers, why'd some dumb evil elves have to mess with us?
11.01.2022 S5E15 Robbing The Evil Dead Person There's a lich imprisoned up in the turret, and our crew is still deciding what to do with him exactly. Rob him though? Absolutely. What crew do you think we're talking about anyway?! For merch, social media, and more be ...
10.25.2022 S5E14 Up The Turret Our heroes have hit a bit of an impasse, a giant iron portcullis before them. There's this totally chill, probably not trapped or haunted turret sitting right there, so why not walk up there? What's the worst that could happen? ...
10.18.2022 S5E13 Ditchin the Kitchen After finding some elves unstuck in time, our heroes attempt to escape the abandoned kitchen and catch up with Bunk the halfling, somewhere in a hallway probably not infected with magic pink mold. Probably. For merch, social media, and more ...
10.11.2022 S5E12 Eerie Shortcuts Realizing it's in their best interest to keep a low profile, our crew sneaks through the castle-city's walls, the undead army's ranks mostly missing as they spread throughout the realm in search of other heroes. Surely, sneaking through a largely ...
10.04.2022 S5E11 Halls of Horror As the crew ventures into the outer walls of Vyndarea they begin to realize how old (and weird) the denizens are. But when in doubt, set it all on fire. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head ...
