Naddpod Character Poll Ranked Choice - StrawPoll

[naddpod-encounter-tourney]

Round One has begun!

All the polls for today can be found here!

[naddpod-encounter-tourney]

Tourney Rules:

has to be an encounter for which initiative is rolled (therefore something like the Apocalypse Cataclysm, Mist in Endoterra, etc. would qualify).

limited to main feed episodes only (no mixed bag live shows, nothing from Blazing Babe or Twilight Sanctorum).

Bracket rankings will be determined by number of nominations (something that gets nominated the most times will be the 1 seed, etc.). Ties will be in a randomly generated order.

Nominations (form here) will be open from November 4 - 18.

You can submit as many nominations as you want, but please don’t spam the form with the same encounter 90 times in a row.

Bracket should go live and round 1 will begin around November 20th. But that’s subject to change.

Polls will be one day. Tiebreakers (if necessary) will likely be a repeat of the question the following day. The finale and 3rd place polls will be one week.

Feel free to send me any questions, the ask box is open and I accept messages on here. Looking forward to a fun tournament!!

No Bahumia-style "best dad" poll for Eldermourne, haha

[naddpod-arc-tournament]

It was close, but we have our winner!

With 54.5% of the final vote, the victor of the NADDPod Eldermourne Arc Tournament is...

The Hexbloods!

The second arc of the campaign, episodes 9-14, following the titular Hexbloods/Hexbuds adventuring party of centenerian monks. Shout out to the arc's phenomenal guest player, Mr. Lou Wilson as Jabari the Safari!

To celebrate, let's all listen to this great compilation of Eldermourne intro bit chaos, prominently featuring the Hexbuds!

Final: Fairy Rings vs Hexbloods

Fairy Rings (Ep 46-41)

Hexbloods (Ep 9-14)

Voting ended onJun 8, 2023

Fairy Rings

Episodes: The Great Fairy Secret, The Lord Scythe, Ill Luck Henry, Cain vs. Callista, The Girl with the Silver Hair, Cerenysus

While the Endo-Friendos wrap things up with the Lord Scythe, the Third Mates journey through the rings of winter, spring, summer, and autumn, searching for Irina. An enemy becomes an ally, and ally is revealed as a villain. Everything is on the line in a final showdown.

Highlights:

From google form submission: “Zirk drinks piss to impress teens it only kinda works”

The 69 lives of Henry Hogfish– "I would be a better man, if I could do it again"

The Third Mates completely beef it in the fight with Callista. Seriously, embarrassing.

Cain talks about his backstory and Fia tries to sneak a berry

Surprise return of the Hexbuds! Mom fight, death ward, trisection, atonement

"God, you were my fucking dream, for so fucking long. But these people are my reality. And it is by your actions that one of them has died, and you tried to kill more of them. And I will miss you so much. But I cannot support this. Mr. Henry… kill her."

Hexbloods

Episodes: Hexblood, The Would Be King, Killshot, The Prophet Gideon, Cindersworn, The Petty King of Outerborough

Oops all monks! We meet our new new heroes the Hexbuds: illeist kensei Jabari Hightower, motivational speaker Corbeau “The Crow” Babineaux, and plant enthusiast Tarragon Snakeroot. The three warriors come out of retirement, get embroiled in the ongoing power struggle for the Petty Kingship of Outerborough, and learn some truths about their mom.

Highlights:

Improvised sneak mission, featuring Jabari’s extreme overkill and the side flap maneuver

Intro chaos continues. Acrostics, songs, “Hey there, centaurs–”

Entering the grove and meeting Glada the frost giant

“It’s not about speechin’, it’s about listening, and talking– and you know, when you speak, people listen, but when you stop listening, that’s when they really start to understand, you know what I mean?” “No."

“Can I put my croc on his chest, so he can’t sit up?” “……Your croc?”

"We are the Cindersworn. We do not turn undead, we burn undead."

Split party fight with Moxora and Cain, Fia saves Zirk from the edge of death and Bukvar is lost

Hank’s jean jacket, aka the worst Nat 20 in the history of the podcast

From google form submission: “Hank Jr and Henry interactions in ep 28 “Lockdown” and ep 29 Sirenloch” (Ed. note: I found the texts I sent to a naddpole friend when first listening and my heart is hurting again: “I’m having emotions about hank hogfish jr– this is the second time he’s seen hank sr and both times murph describes that he feels immediately relieved and safe now that his dad is here, before remembering how hurt and mad he is”)

Thornkirk

Episodes: The Reaping Season, Jabs and Hooks, Broken Heart Banshee, Ghosts of Thornkirk, The Baroness, The Rook’s Gambit, Trial by Scale, Until We Meet Again

We meet our new heroes: blade witch Fia Boginya, apprentice coroner Zirk Vervain, and “guy who lives in his ex-wife’s third cousin’s pool house” Henry Hogfish. The trio befriend each other, do a job for a local gang, and seek to avenge a wrongful death, all as hints of greater mysteries begin to make themselves known.

Highlights:

Also introducing Bukvar, Philip, Volk, Spritel, and Shank

From @under5feet-and-over800pages: “pls include the bit where everyone’s name was honk.” (Ed. note: Honk Honkfish, Fonk Bonkginya, Zonk Vervonk, etc)

Zirk doses Petty Jack with ex-lax, and Hank sends Shank to go steal Batilda’s sword and replace it with Fia’s copy while he’s shitting

Parallels of Fia’s flashback trial by scale interrupted by Batilda, then Syb’s trial by scale interrupted by Fia!

From google form submission: “Sewastian and Henry interactions all through the Thornkirk arc, esp the final fight”
