One of the many, many reasons I recommend NADDPod's D&D court even if you don't play D&D but do enjoy actual play is that invariably there are several cases where one player gets special treatment. Sometimes it's all encompassing and egregious (the one from this past week with the paladin with spell-proof armor who is the only person any NPCs will deal with and who gets first dibs on all items) and sometimes it's smaller and more understandable (the person who insists on taking a rest every time their imp familiar dies to resummon them), but every time we hear from the unfavored players who are like "what the fuck". It's a powerful antidote to the all-too-common "why isn't the entire campaign centered around my specific blorbo; why aren't other characters immediately struck down the second they speak anything but total unquestioning support for them?" mentality you see in actual play fandom.

obsessed with this (from the naddpod insta story)

The thing about the Mulligan, Iyengar, Thompson, and Cartwright, Pro-Bono Rules Lawyer law firm is that two of the four partners have been elevated to positions on the Supreme Crit and I personally hope that the other two partners also get the call up someday

Listening to one of the d&d courts w Zac and they’re discussing a player who hid their own nat 20s so they didn’t make the other people at the table feel bad, and at one point Emily goes “well I think there is a pressure in dnd to kind of like, hide your power” and then nobody says anything and she’s like. “… or maybe that’s just a woman thing”

Which like. The idea that the best dnd player in the world is at any point actively having to rein herself in??? Good lord. All this time she’s been wearing training weights and also the training weights are the misogyny she has to deal with being in this community. Imagine how powerful she actually is. She’s literally Goku

NADDPOD- D&D Court Tiny ls- Murph Taking a Lower Case l

NADDPOD LIVE! 

JANUARY 2023

I got to design a poster for the upcoming NADDPod Live show!! And since its the first ever live Dungeon Court too... the Two Crew are dressed as lawyers just like pawpaw.

I really enjoy how it came out! Let me know if anyone snags a copy! I’d love to see pics :’)

i made a mini version of spellcheck! feel free to play to your hearts content

The Ally Beardsley and Aabria Iyengar Dungeon Courts are both S-Tier

this one’s for my naddpod girlies and naddpod girlies only

Listening to d&d court on my way home and I'm dying at "the problem with rule of cool is you're not cool"

I'm gonna run a panel and I need MATERIAL!

Following NADDPod's example, I'm going to try and bring D&D Court as a panel to the anime cons I attend! I need YOUR DnD disputes!

If the NADDpod Supreme Crit Justices are too unavailable, how about submitting your case to Small Claims Crit? We're only marginally less unavailable!

While I will take some audience submissions, I hope to have a solid caseload to manage while the bailiff collects plaintiffs and in case of a reticent crowd. Gimme your disputes, from petty to campaign-ending!

I'm currently hoping to run this panel at Anime Detour, Anime Iowa, and Planet Anime in 2024.

Transcript:

Emily: I have a stupid question, because I don't really eat cereal except for Fruity Pebbles on Christmas. Uh-- [Everyone laughs.] Murph: Moving on. Jake: So you do love the Flintstones! Caldwell: Right! Yeah, as god intended. Murph: Moving on. Emily: (shocked) What? Are they Flintstones related??? Murph: Of course! Caldwell: (yelling) What?! Jake: (yelling) What?! Caldwell: Emily!! (laughs) Jake: No! No! Murph: Emily, they're on the-- they're on the box. That you have. In our home. Emily: (yelling over him) I only eat them once a year! I-- (laughing) eat them once a year! Caldwell: (laughing) what are you… Jake: Impossible. How did you not know that?! Murph: And the Flintstones are on it! Emily: (still yelling) I don't fucking make-- Murph: (yelling) Surely-- surely-- Caldwell: (laughing) It… what do you mean?! Emily: --what's on my cereal box! Murph: Surely you've watched television once! In the past 40 years! Emily: Yes, I have! (laughing) I have. Caldwell: Wha-- do you like pour the box and then instantly put it away? Are you not looking at the box while you're pouring it? Murph: They're all-- Fred and Barney are all over that shit. Caldwell: They're all over it. Emily: (calmly) I have a very… (laughs) Murph: They're Pebbles. Flintstones. Emily: My… my attention is precious to me and I gift it only to the things that deserve it. (laughs) Caldwell: He named the cereal after his daughter, don't you understand? [Emily and Jake laugh.] Emily: Well, so I didn't know that context! So that went unnoticed by me. [Caldwell sighs.] Murph: Moving on. Jake: Insane. Emily: Anyways, um, do they still-- so since I only really eat that like once a year, do cereal, like-- is cereal still going nuts with mascots?

i did add options bc they moved past the question quickly which is unlike them

Aabria should always have free rein to steal people’s wives, I think

slightly out of left field concept but zac and caldwell in some d&d/ttrpg game playing as a cowboy duo. is this anything.
