Nerd Poker

It's time to head to the actual mountain! While the crew debates how to spell Mount Dukes, it becomes clear that yes indeed they picked the weirdest and hardest of the three paths.  For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

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. How will we rid this valley of the terrifying dragon menace? Only time will tell!  For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

A quick message from Brian!

What's that? A special Christmas message from Brian? That's right! We recorded in Brian's house and we can't wait for you to hear it! We just need the holidays to pass so we can actually, you know, be available to record more in a timely fashion! Thanks so much for sticking with us!  For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And for 3 bonus episodes a month and more, s...

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 b...

The doors to the courtyard have been opened and the real, very really final boss of the campaign has revealed itself. Will our heroes triumph or be smote upon the cobblestone? Listen and find out!  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.

There are warforged at the gates of the evil city... Probably friends, right? In the meantime let's try to get out of here without stumbling onto another boss fight.  For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

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.

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!  For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And for 3 bonus episodes a month and mo...

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?

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. Dan would never collapse the dungeon for a TPK after the big victory. Right? For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

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!

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.  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.

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.

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.

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, sub...

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?!

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.

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.

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.

Time for everyone to fight the evil lich king we have heard about for 4 years! This is fine. Everything's fine. 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.

A big old evil tunnel leading up to a big old evil door. The time has come for vanquishing evil many campaigns in the making.

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. Nothing to worry about here. Everything's fine. This is fine. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

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. And for 3 bonus episodes a month...
