Nerd Poker episodes:

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 ...
09.27.2022 One More Apology - Episode Next Week! Thank you for your understanding, everyone! Here Dan explains what's up! New episode next week, and all three bonus episodes still delivering on time.
09.20.2022 An Apology - No Episode Sorry everyone! We had an emergency disrupt a recording session and couldn't get together in time. We will be back soon, and not miss any bonus episodes.
09.13.2022 S5E10 Into the Castle The massive city-castle looming large, our heroes approach from the cliffside. What Telfer-esque horrors loom inside? Probably something with too many fingers that breathes magma. Listen, and find out! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to ...
09.06.2022 S5E9 Behind the Door It's time to loot the harpy cave! Our intrepid crew has slunk up to a mysterious door, the sounds of soft breathing on the other side. What horrors might lie on the other side? Well we can promise you one ...
08.30.2022 S5E8 Inner Cliff Ascent The heroes clean up the harpy mess, we swear, and begin to explore the chambers before them, the vile castle looming large above. Hopefully Bunk doesn't get himself murdered by teleporting into a harpy pile again. For merch, social media, ...
08.23.2022 S5E7 Deadly Stink Cloud Our heroes pull out all the stops in their first battle- silver flames are summoned and magical songs are sung, while arm blades slash, axes fly, and Dr. Uid's forehead vein pulses. But the gravity of the situation is suddenly ...
08.16.2022 S5E6 Feathery Fury Looks like the first fight of the campaign is a bloody one, as dozens of harpies begin to dogpile our heroes and the hit points begin to disappear. Hopefully everyone has the stamina, and the level 8 powers, that they ...
08.09.2022 S5E5 Kill The Eyeless Murderers Looks like the cave has all those eyeless owl harpies you ordered! After deftly disarming a trap and interrogating a corpse, it's time to test our heroes' mettle in combat! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head ...
08.02.2022 S5E4 Silent Flying Death As our crew commits to travelling through the caves, the harpy encounter is imminent. Hopefully Ronnie is used to his role as "leader" because his friends will need his help if they want to avoid becoming the food of eyeless ...
07.26.2022 S5E3 The Mists Beneath The Cliffs Our wary party has begun their trek into the misty caves, and it's not long before things get super creepy. Sadly the entire boat full of heroes isn't along for the dungeon crawl together, but we get a chance to ...
07.18.2022 S5E2 Spectral Exam They haven't even been dropped off at the main quest yet, and already our crew is getting into spectral boat related mayhem, and confusing NPCs who may or may not want to join the party. It remains to be seen ...
07.12.2022 S5E1 Vyndarea It's time to meet a brand new cast of characters, as the season begins on a boat piloted by a drunken fairy named Goggo, as it heads to an evil castle. The dreaded king and archlich Vallux lies within, and ...
07.05.2022 S5E0 Session Zero Before every campaign, there is planning! And we thought that this time we'd let listeners be privvy to all of it. Enjoy hanging out with all of us as we contemplate whether to create new characters, bring back old ones, ...
06.28.2022 Season Five Trailer! Dan checks in with everyone to let them know a new adventure starts very soon, but you can catch up on a bazillion exclusive adventures over on patreon.com/nerdpoker. Listen all the way through for some hints of what Season 5 ...
06.21.2022 Minotaur Heist with Kevin Sussman Behold! Whilst we get ready for Season 5, enjoy this early 2020 bonus episode straight from Brian's house! Kevin Sussman from The Big Bang Theory comes by and takes our crew on one of their more... chaotic adventures. We hope ...
06.14.2022 S4E92 Cabal Room Blitz The battle peaks. Lives in the balance. A small being's silhouette sits upon the steering wheel of a ship.
06.07.2022 S4E91 Demon Death The vampire who has cornered the cuties seems to have summoned his greatest monster, a shadowy demon that now sucks life from the cuties one by one. Also this is a morning recording on a Monday, enjoy the odd change ...
05.31.2022 S4E90 Golden Jerk The summoned monsters are dropping but so are our heroes, and it's a relatively tense fight all around. Luckily Sam posts an accidental cut and paste link in the chat at the end to break the tension!
05.24.2022 S4E89 Tidying the Temple The mess in the temple is only getting messier. Will the Castaway Cuties make it out alive? Well, some of them anyway?
05.17.2022 S4E88 Let The Blight One In Trapped in the Temple of Bahamut (which you know, doesn't sound bad on its own) an eerie voice calls to the Castaway Cuties through the blocked door. Hopefully the Dungeon Master hasn't recently watched the movie Green Room! Oh wait ...
05.10.2022 S4E87 Smashy Smashy Time to finally shatter this phylactery. Hopefully. Should be simple. Just a big old demon lord stuck to it, should be no big deal. And no big that the Castaway Cuties feel like they're being watched. This campaign should wrap ...
05.03.2022 S4E86 Temple Crawl The finish line is seemingly only inches away, as the Castaway Cuties and their new barbarian friend approach the temple of Bahamut beneath Flaysacolan ruins. Hopefully the creepy glowing green eyes in the dark are friendly!
04.26.2022 S4E85 Hole Tactics The Castaway Cuties know where they want to go, but unfortunately it's something they only really visited in another timeline. All they have to do is get past some undead elf soldiers. Seems like not much can go wrong!
04.19.2022 S4E84 Clearing the Horror The last bits of the battle need to be tidied up, and a helpful new adventurer arrives to join the Castaway Cuties.
04.12.2022 S4E83 Friends in Peril While the swarm of guards is thinning out, the Castaway Cuties are running out of spell slots, hit points, and death saves. We shan't say more, this one is a must-listen.
04.05.2022 S4E82 Bloodbath at the Gallows Well, we all knew things might end up messy when our crew snuck under some gallows and then picked a fight with an army. As hit points start to run low for everyone, it sure would be nice to take ...
03.29.2022 S4E81 Death Knight Night Undead elf knights pile on the Castaway Cuties, as well as something even more disgusting. At least they're not squishing around under the gallows anymore!
03.22.2022 S4E80 Sneaking Through Hell Undead knights everywhere? So what? The Castaway Cuties never let something like that stop them from their destination. And we all know how foolproof a stealth-based plan is in Dungeons and Dragons.
03.15.2022 S4E79 Tunnel Time For Danny The Castaway Cuties attempt to put a particularly blood y battle behind them, and Danny goes on a special mission to find a way into the now-evil city of Flaysacola.
03.08.2022 S4E78 Cave Clearing Chaos Yipes, this cave battle is getting very ugly for the Castaway Cuties. Hopefully amongst the bodies there will be a few good saving throws. And death saving throws.
03.01.2022 S4E77 Subterranean Smackdown The Castaway Cuties start to realize just how deep they might be in over their heads, as cave creatures begin to swarm them and party members start getting chewed on. How hard was that cliff to climb again?
