The Mountain Campaign - Episode 19

Whoops! Someone threw the Blep out with the acid bath! Luckily Blaine is back to guide Blep out of the acid river that he was dunked into, but who will save him? Also, is Glibbles the goblin ever going to NOT botch? Sadly we have no Sarah this episode or next, schedule permitting we hope everyone is back in the same room soon.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 18

Time to grab the recently revived Glibbles and fly through an acid waterfall! Wait, we are like, ONE person shy of flying everyone. You know what's a great idea? Let's resurrect an NPC we ruthlessly slaughtered, take him hostage, and demand he fly the last remaining person! And let's let him decide to to fly, couldn't possibly be a weird choice! There, all that's taken care of- away to the final boss we go without a care in the world! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpoke...

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 17

The resurrection staff in Pishposh's hands, it's time for what we do best: make logical choices! Clearly, Glibbles is about to be brought back, and we absolutely are not about to bring back a character who has already refused resurrection. That would be too weird! Regardless, if one of our cast members is willing to rise to the occasion and do a one-person show portraying multiple player characters. Sadly Blaine got sick, and despite a month of trying to get us all in the same room we do not hav...

S6: Sorry For The Wait, We Just Wanna Stay In Person

That's right, scheduling and time got away from us. Too many people weren't in California this May and we ran out of banked episodes. We hope you'll stick with us, tell your friends how awesome this in-person campaign is, and we'll see you over on Patreon. We are recording some special Patreon bonus episodes as this very announcement is released! Thanks, and we're very sorry.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 16

Hopefully Dan is almost done torturing everyone with a torture room that is possibly the rudest, most effed up room he has ever made in this silly game. If they can just smash this last surprise (please let it be the last one) they can continue up the mountain to- fight eggs? It seemed like it would be a dragon fight but all inanimate objects are no longer to be trusted. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 15

Everyone is on their last legs, both our heroes and the horde of blood-soaked quaggoth. Heroes fall, rise, and fall again. If they could just stop getting blinded, possessed, and poisoned this could all turn around! And soon it will, one way or the other.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 14

The Quaggoth situation is only more and more bloody. Pish Posh is down, and Mordecai is managing a few status issues. And in classic Nerd Poker fashion, one of our crew cannot make it to the episode (Sarah) and that means their character (Brix) gets pushed repeatedly to the brink of death.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 13

The torture chamber has exploded in flame, and the crew now faces wave 2 of the quaggoth qreeps. There's the usual lackeys, another giant one, and now a floaty one with a staff. And uh, nobody has rested since the last wave. Some people definitely die this episode, but we can't promise whether they're NPCs or now. RIP Sarah's new monk??

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 12

Wow so the torture chamber really IS a place where people could lose a limb? Our mountainy crew cuts through a wave of quaggoth and takes a peek at a cage with what may be a surviving captive. Probably a friend. Probably no more waves of quaggoth. Probablies! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 11

Welp, the ol' Dungeon Master made good on his promise to for this to be a deadly campaign. And now a cheery lil' torture room full of death bears! Okay let's stop being falsely optimistic for laffs, Dan has gone bonkers and we're all going to die. Please send help. *flares go up in the vast arctic sky as the boat sinks beneath an ice berg* For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 10

Our crew continues to engage in what is hopefully just a friendly game of drop-the-stone-scythe. So, time to wrap up this fight with the- undead demi-god? Or whatever? Juniper will probably be fine.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 9

Oh an archfey. That's probably not that big a deal, just that thing that some people worship that cause trickery that undoes reality. And this is just a chill little negotiation where we give away some trayzure! Easy peasy. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 8

New artifact! Giant ghost vanquished through persuasion! The crew is on a roll! So as long as the next thing they meet isn't, you know, omnipotent or something, they'll probably be fine. Oh right, a Total Party Kill is supposed to be possible this game. So it might be a god. Probably not though! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 7

Haunted mountain stairwell ahoy! The giant behind them and a Glibbles in their pocket, our crew get to ascending stairs that aren't for touching. There is surely violence at the top, it sure would be nice if it was a chill use of common stairs, and not a series of horrors! Whoops, it's the horrors thing.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 6

Sooooo this fight with a mutated giant and a pile of sentient viscera has been fun and all, but it feels like about time to get the hell out of here. Our heroes kinda wanted to sneak through, and they'd like to honor that intention by not dying. And how we enjoy being in person, because it leads to things like locking eyes with Blaine and preparing ourselves for more cat jokes.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 5

As Pish Posh begins some very unpleasant business with the Flesh Meld and Glibbles sits in Juniper's pocket, it begins to seem as though Dan is more than willing to make good on his TPK threats. Hopefully everyone won't wipe on the first fight. Although that could also be fun! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 4

It is time to traverse The Pillars of Despair Murder! The plan to jump from pillar to pillar unseen obviously fell apart long ago, but Glibbles the goblin is unafraid to lead the group anyway. Hammers will fall, and so will humanoids clinging for dear life. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 1

Our heroes meet around Brian's table for the first time in almost 4 years! And some other heroes show up (the pencil and paper kind). There's two mountains, a dragon, and a nest.

S5E60 Demigod Energy

Our season finale is here! Dan attempts to tie a tidy little bow on five season's worth of narrative (hence the season-long boss fight). Crits connect, epic praise is heaped upon the surviving members of the Ice Five, an old friend returns, and Gus makes his pitch for becoming a demi-god. Thanks for listening, we hope to start new stories soon and invite in new listeners! Creating this world has been fun and the whole crew appreciates each and every listener who has kept the lights on thus far. ...

S5E57 That Whole Dimensional Problem

Oh riiiiight! We're not just in a crumbling tomb, but that tomb is in a weird pocket dimension, which is connected to the castle with a swirling vortex tether thing. Well you know what that means- it's balcony surfin' time! Maybe! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

S5E56 Tomb's Last Call

It's time to take the elevator up and get out of this tomb in an evil pocket dimension. Most of the crew is rolling well, but of course not everyone is. And no word on those damn NPCs, some of which they dragged down there, others not so much. Time to find out who esapes and who doesn't!

S5E55 Collapse in Judgment

That Orcus is a pile of eyebally ooze, but it's never too late for Dan to keep that TPK dream alive. The crew is rushing towards a tomb of dead royalty... that's probably fine, right?

S5E54 Ticket out of Crown Town

With the floating demi-god crown in tow, it's time to book it the hell outta here. The boss... bosses?... is/are dead so this is probably not going to be hard or anything.
