If we interacted for the first time today via boops and are unlikely to run into each other again because we don't have the same fandom niches I just want you to know our boop bond is real and if I ever see you randomly come across my dash I'll think to myself "aww my boop bud" and send you warm thoughts and good vibes

If I wanted to start listening to naddpod where should I start?
this is my favorite question, i fucking love naddpod.
short answer: wherever you want (as long as, campaign wise, it’s an episode one)
long answer:
i personally am a completionist and preferred to start with campaigns that are already done. as someone who is constantly relistening to campaigns while keeping up week-to-week, i’ll say this: it’s easier in my opinion (opinion) to start at the beginning of campaign one.
for starters, you get to hear them learn the game and hit their stride all at once, which is easier. there are inside jokes made throughout that largely reference c1 content. c3 is a sequel of sorts to c1 and while it is easy enough to listen to c1 after it and consider it a prequel, it does rely on established lore from campaign one.
i would also say, personally, that some of the things at the beginning of c1 are harder to get through because they’re learning the game and murph is getting comfortable with performing the show. it’s taken me a couple of months to get through the first half of c1 on this relisten and i know i’ll be done with the second half so much faster. listening to that first, without knowing where it’ll end up, is a bit easier than going in with the knowledge of how much knows mechanics now, six years later.
one last thing (it’s the long answer for a reason) - some people aren’t quite bought in until the galaderon saga. i know it’s hard to give something that much of a chance sometimes, but it’s easier if you’re already fans of the people.
the stories they tell are elaborate and compelling. they’re just sometimes finding their footing for a bit.
and again, you can start anywhere. the long answer is just my opinion based partially on where i started and how i reflect on it, 3ish years after of listening later.
I agree. I'm in the middle of c2 right now. I had a bit of a hard time getting hooked by the first episodes of C1 in bahumia (baaah hooo miA) but I stuck with it for a few eps and i ended up loving it so so much. The depth and the amount of time given to the saga makes it so worth it !
And then I fell in love with Trinyvale which is way goofier and funny, and now I'm loving Eldermourne too ! I can't wait to go back to their first universe too.
I'd recommend finding some time, trying to listen to a few episodes and being open minded and i guarantee you'll end up falling in love with naddpod !

I have at least one mutual who doesn’t watch d20 and i would like to formally apologize to them specifically for making this post
we all remember Kristen’s familiar, right?
[ID: a recreation of a Steven Universe comic panel by Haus of Decline. In this version, kristen applebees has a tiny winnie the pooh in a baby chest carrier and is supporting her weight in one hand while the other holds her staff of doubt beside them. They both have a worried expression as Kristen says "i think we're gonna have to kill this guy, winnie", who disappointedly replies with "damn". /end ID]
