The Mountain Campaign - Episode 22
July 09, 2024 02:32 - 48 minutes - 111 MBWell we just might kill some of the damned acid monsters ruining our dragon-murder parade! A second waterfall is played in, and probably nobody is dropped in the death river. Again. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 21
July 02, 2024 18:59 - 1 hour - 140 MBThe leisurely river cruise everyone signed up for continues to be interrupted by a bunch of very rude monsters trying to murder everyone, and a certain NPC face-plants in some blooms of acid flora. Oh, and RIP to Dave the Quaggoth. You were the worst, but you were a real one. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 20
June 25, 2024 16:12 - 54 minutes - 125 MBWe did it! We got our little kitty friend out of the horrible churning acid river! Although now with a distinct lack of fur Blep is back in action, casting Duplicity and turning the tide of battle. It seems that as long as monsters stop popping up out of the river, they'll conquer the mountain and snatch those dragon eggs any second.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 19
June 18, 2024 19:28 - 54 minutes - 126 MBWhoops! 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. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 18
June 11, 2024 01:10 - 57 minutes - 132 MBTime 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 ne...
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 17
June 04, 2024 15:19 - 52 minutes - 120 MBThe 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...
S6: Sorry For The Wait, We Just Wanna Stay In Person
May 28, 2024 05:39 - 2 minutes - 5.49 MBThat'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
May 21, 2024 17:14 - 57 minutes - 131 MBHopefully 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
May 14, 2024 17:26 - 1 hour - 140 MBEveryone 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
May 07, 2024 21:26 - 51 minutes - 117 MBThe 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
April 30, 2024 17:36 - 52 minutes - 121 MBThe 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?? For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 12
April 23, 2024 16:27 - 52 minutes - 119 MBWow 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!

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 11
April 16, 2024 18:22 - 59 minutes - 136 MBWelp, 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
April 09, 2024 16:26 - 56 minutes - 130 MBOur 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. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 9
April 02, 2024 07:43 - 53 minutes - 123 MBOh 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
March 26, 2024 15:53 - 1 hour - 139 MBNew 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. And for 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker.
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 7
March 19, 2024 18:40 - 50 minutes - 116 MBHaunted 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
March 12, 2024 08:13 - 55 minutes - 126 MBSooooo 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. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. And for 3 bonus episodes a month and more,...
The Mountain Campaign - Episode 5
March 05, 2024 06:46 - 1 hour - 142 MBAs 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
February 27, 2024 16:05 - 1 hour - 146 MBIt 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.

October 03, 2023 18:51 - 1 hour - 143 MBOur 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).

S5E56 Tomb's Last Call
September 05, 2023 15:03 - 55 minutes - 127 MBIt'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.

S5E55 Collapse in Judgment
August 29, 2023 07:29 - 56 minutes - 129 MBThat Orcus is a pile of eyebally ooze, but it's never too late for Dan to keep that TPK dream alive.

S5E54 Ticket out of Crown Town
August 22, 2023 19:34 - 57 minutes - 132 MBWith 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?

S5E53 Hasty Exit
August 15, 2023 17:38 - 57 minutes - 132 MBThe mood has shifted for testicular-pulverization-reasons (no spoilers!) and its time to make a fast retreat from the battlefield.

August 08, 2023 16:52 - 1 hour - 138 MBWell 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.

S5E51 The Final Demon
July 25, 2023 17:03 - 54 minutes - 124 MBBlaine continues what now feels like a months-long ritual of destroying Orcus' genitals.

S5E50 Chode Chopper
July 18, 2023 23:46 - 58 minutes - 134 MBYes, 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!

S5E49 The Unfortunate Anatomy of Orcus
July 11, 2023 16:24 - 55 minutes - 126 MBIt 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
July 04, 2023 20:54 - 54 minutes - 125 MBWith the megalich bamfing in and out of existence, Ronnie's Raiders realize they should perhaps focus on killing the pig lord of death, Orcus.

S5E47 Invisilich
June 27, 2023 05:09 - 48 minutes - 110 MBYou 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
June 20, 2023 04:07 - 57 minutes - 132 MBOrcus now fully engages the crew along with Vallux, and NPCs start to get roughed up pretty bad. Need cheering up?

S5E45 Smack Dab In The Middle (of Slaying a Lich)
June 13, 2023 05:02 - 50 minutes - 115 MBNaturally 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
May 23, 2023 17:31 - 58 minutes - 133 MBNo big deal, guys. Our crew just has to deal with a harmless little cave river.

May 16, 2023 16:55 - 1 hour - 144 MBNow 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.
