quest to start naddpod update!! thank you for advisement i started with bahumia bc i need the amount of content real bad and oh my sweet goodness beverly toegold v has bewitched me body and soul and is the goodest boy to ever walk this plane i need him to have a good time forever i need him to get to play with his little green teen friends i need his new "scoutmasters" to be good to him. hes a GOOD BOY!!!!!
another naddpod update: i feel like theres always a trend in dnd podcasts where the first like 10-15 episodes are where they goof and get the ground rolling on their personalities and beliefs. and then the SECOND they pass over that territory either the plot or the characters themselves force them to be People and then they have immense emotional moments that change your life
but MAN can that make those 10-15 episodes feel like a little bit of a slog... even if its worth it...not sunk cost fallacy i have assurances that It Gets Better i just cannot get around stunkbug too easily
naddpod update officially halfway through bahumia and. holy shit man its really hitting now
i loveeee the feywilds so much thats where my baby (my first campaign) lives but shit every time they learn something new out here it gets Sadder. i miss bev senior. cran and durlin have kids. alanis is out here changing lives and drafting old men to change the tides of interplanar warfare. balnor's family is DEAD LIKE!!!! WHAT
every arc gets better dude. every arc gets better than the last. bahumia my absolute beloved
naddpod update: i finally finished episode 70 and
i get it. i understand. i love the power of chosen family.
naddpod update post episode 80: yeah you really did ruin my night brian
(the flashbacks were HEARTBREAKING balnor is MISSING everything is SCARY and BAD and AAAA)
naddpod update finale
i write this literally a minute after hearing the last notes of one big bed recede after episode 100. I can now confidently say that bahumia is the best dnd campaign I’ve listened to Maybe Ever?? it was beautiful and dramatic and heartwarming and about family at its core. it was a light in the dark for me getting through a bunch of big changes all at once, and i truly will carry the band of boobs into everything i write after this.
most of all, im struck to my core with how connected the band of boobs is. from episode 1 as strangers, to episode 100 as brothers and sisters- naddpod does found family better than most media I’ve seen. not just within the party, but with all the beloved npcs (lookin at you balnor the brave). murphs writing and the two crew’s acting is truly worth the 3 and a half months i spent hauling ass to say it took me all summer to finish. best one to start with.
you do have to face the trials of getting to the galaderon saga but from there it only gets better. i think overall my stats are:
beverly toegold the 5th is my favorite pc
deadeye and apple were my favorite guest pcs
jolene and lucanus were my favorite npcs
tales from the crick was my favorite arc
episode 99 or episode 70 was my all time favorite
and overall bahumia is so wonderful and beautiful. i wish it was easier to recommend without the backing force of the hyperfixation beast hitting because it’s so good but so long!!
tldr: love letter to bahumia and c1 as a whole because 100 episodes of loving the sillies has made me cry (and i counted) 13 times during episode 100
