Episodes

S5E53 Hasty Exit

The mood has shifted for testicular-pulverization-reasons (no spoilers!) and its time to make a fast retreat from the battlefield. Hopefully only 5 or 6 NPCs will be left behind!

S5E52 Smashy Smashy

Well it took him long enough, but Orcus has realized that the elemental guy slamming his demon nards over and over again is something of a problem. Sorry Blaine, but this one's probably gonna hurt.

S5E51 The Final Demon

Blaine continues what now feels like a months-long ritual of destroying Orcus' genitals. Death saves are in the future of some characters, and apparently the players expected that to happen because it's a very emotional experience to get that far.

S5E50 Chode Chopper

Yes, this is a reference to what Blaine is doing to the demon Orcus. The final battle appears to be turning in the favor of Ronnie's Raiders! Hopefully this is a very chill and not at all passive-aggressive dungeon master we're dealing with, and this will end better than Season 3.

S5E49 The Unfortunate Anatomy of Orcus

It was bound to happen if an evil, gigantic creature was walking around. Someone's character would inevitably realize whilst running between their legs that the canopy above was ripe for called shots. And then, of course, there would be disgusting riffs. Classic Nerd Poker, enjoy! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And for 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker.

S5E48 Maybe We Kill The Demon

With the megalich bamfing in and out of existence, Ronnie's Raiders realize they should perhaps focus on killing the pig lord of death, Orcus. Meanwhile the NPCs keep getting slapped around to the point of being a real moral investment. Will our heroes survive all this time management?!

S5E47 Invisilich

You know what really helps when you're fighting some really evil jerks? When one of them dips out of existence. Hopefully he won't reappear inside someone's body and make them explode like Blaine did on that one bonus episode! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

S5E46 Orcus Attack

Orcus now fully engages the crew along with Vallux, and NPCs start to get roughed up pretty bad. Need cheering up? Say the title of this episode out loud and it sounds like "orcas attack." Which, at the time of this episode's release, is a current news item! Sorry, yachts! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

S5E45 Smack Dab In The Middle (of Slaying a Lich)

Naturally it's a rough fight for Ronnie's Raiders, who are attacking Vallux relentlessly but unsure how to deal with the elder demon slowly stomping towards them from the next room. Maybe he just wants to ask a question and then he'll go back to bed. Maybe Terry will show up and save the world? For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

S5E42 Harmless Little Cave River

No big deal, guys. Our crew just has to deal with a harmless little cave river. Probably not cursed or anything, just happens to be flowing past the lair of a millenia-old lich king.

S5E41 To Puzzle Or Not To Puzzle

Now that the herd has been thinned out a bit (RIP beloved NPC) it's time for everyone to make a choice- do they try to crack the elaborate puzzle laid out before them in the enchanted door, or do they smash through it because puzzles are for jerks? To our credit, we do CONSIDER the first option. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

S5E40 Perilous Choices

Ronnie's Raiders are at the precipice of something huge, you know, just an uncomfortable ultimate evil presence.

S5E38 Cursed Corpse Crushin'

Why not just start opening sarcophogi? What's the worst that can happ- oh right it could be cursed and absorb weapons and try to murder everybody. Enjoy the deliciously dark combat, the debate over whether Winifred has all her fingers, and what kind of toilet rat t-shirt we should start making!

S5E37 Coffin Talk

S5E36 Names of Legend

The crew just left an elevator filled with acid, so things are probably going to get super cheery and tidy now! And, finally, the fearless leader of the group names the crew. Just in time! There's some coffins to root around in a musty inter-dimensional tomb.

Apr 11, 202356 minSeason 5Ep. 36

S5E35 Evilator

The torture room cleared (except for the huge gruesome mess) our heroes arrive inside some sort of evil elevator. That's right- an evilator! Do they use that word within the episode? No. But all like to have fun around here. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

S5E34 Stairwell to Lich Hell

The big beefy demon dude with a plate of iron nailed to his face has tumbled into a corner of a stairwell and it's getting pretty dicey to just stand around in that stairwell. What lies on the other side of the door at the bottom is what comes next, and yeah, it's probably gonna be a mean trap that everyone saw coming but almost kills them anyway.

Mar 28, 202357 minSeason 5Ep. 34

S5E33 Nailface

The big disgusting bad guy is no match for a bunch of heroes who like to pin big bad disgusting bad guys into a corner! Also there's 4-5 NPCs around now, which feels pretty cozy! May the only blood spilt be that of evil, and what everyone decides to dump on the floor because they saw it on a torture table and it freaked them out.

S5E31 The Verdant Swirly

We left our last episode on a cliffhanger- will Queep and Friar Jolly survive the low roll in the swirling green magic tunnel?! Well, Dan kind of cut Ken off so, Ken might actually have a plan. Also first we have to get to a particularly ribald round of listener thanks with a special visit from Billy. We missed you Chris!

S5E30 Hell Delving

No big deal, just an extremely haunted library to get through, and then our intrepid heroes can descend into the horrors beneath the royal keep. Though all the NPCs are still alive, shocking as that may be, between the four of them only one of them isn't one foot in the grave. Pretty much everyone has been maimed at one point or another. And things are only just starting to get risky.

Feb 28, 20231 hr 1 minSeason 5Ep. 30

S5E29 Jolly Return

Chris Tallman is back! Ken is too! The full crew is faced with the prospect of fixing an undead Bunk, who may or may not be in the process of being posessed by the archlich. And, well, leave it to our crew to take a morbid DM choice and basically dare the DM to do it.

Feb 21, 20231 hr 3 minSeason 5Ep. 29

S5E28 Death Fissure

Sometimes you just gotta make a giant murder worm explode. Sure there was collateral damage and the room is a pile of rubble, but nobody probably heard anything. Let's just get everyone... mostly patched up and march boldly forth to the north! Sorry no Ken or Chris- Chris will be back soon, and Ken had a last minute thing! We tried to snag everyone, and will ASAP. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And for 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Pa...

S5E27 Walloped Warriors

What's a purple worm fight without a massacre? Well, we sure don't know. Everyone is in pieces and its time to see who can be put back together and who is gonna end up all Humpty Dumpty and shattered on the castle floor.

S5E26 Now With Austin Powers

S5E25 What a Wormhole

Well, it was bound to happen. A gigantic classic monster exploded up from beneath the royal hall, and is taking chomps from our heroes. As long as everyone rolls well this should all be fine. Right?
