| The Fog Campaign - Episode 46 | 18 Nov 2025 | 00:45:34 | |
Now that we're in the Undercity, it's time for the heist... and maybe destruction of evil. As the corridor looms, Roll20 also implodes. But we have a lovely lich's tomb to explore, and what is definitely a super chill statue in a super chill tiny corridor to just strut past.
| |||
| The Fog Campaign - Episode 45 | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:50:46 | |
Well, we're about to bid the fog of the Fog Campaign farewell (for now?) as we gather supplies for the mud hole plunge. With a well-armed militia of fish folk, we head into the pitch-black depths of the Dellsmouth Undercity. Where there is definitely not going to be a TPK like there just was in our Patreon bonus campaign (whoopsie doodle). | |||
| The Fog Campaign - Episode 36 | 09 Sep 2025 | 00:56:21 | |
Now that we're breaking into Dellsmouth City Hall, The Dingdong Danglers are basically in charge of the whole town! Whoops... is this building full of corpses? ANOTHER building full of corpses? Man, what a ripoff. For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker . For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com. | |||
| S5E57 That Whole Dimensional Problem | 12 Sep 2023 | 00:57:31 | |
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 | 05 Sep 2023 | 00:55:43 | |
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 | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:56:12 | |
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 | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:57:52 | |
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.

| S5E53 Hasty Exit | 15 Aug 2023 | 00:57:52 | |
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 | 08 Aug 2023 | 01:00:25 | |
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 | 25 Jul 2023 | 00:54:07 | |
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 | 18 Jul 2023 | 00:58:32 | |
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 | 11 Jul 2023 | 00:55:10 | |
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! | |||
| S5E48 Maybe We Kill The Demon | 04 Jul 2023 | 00:54:49 | |
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?!

| The Fog Campaign - Episode 35 | 02 Sep 2025 | 00:48:34 | |
Now that we have made a deal with a well-to-do kua'toa, it's time we headed to that friendly kua'toa bed and breakfast to crash. We love the fish people here in Dellsmouth! Unforch, it looks like there may be an uprising to get rid of them by the other species in town. Guess we'll just have to take care of that whole insurrection thing soon!

| S5E47 Invisilich | 27 Jun 2023 | 00:48:14 | |
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 | 20 Jun 2023 | 00:57:42 | |
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) | 13 Jun 2023 | 00:50:22 | |
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.

| S5E44 Vallux | 06 Jun 2023 | 00:59:50 | |

| S5E43 Flap Those Mighty Wings | 30 May 2023 | 00:51:47 | |
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. Will they set it all on fire?

| S5E42 Harmless Little Cave River | 23 May 2023 | 00:58:18 | |
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.

| S5E41 To Puzzle Or Not To Puzzle | 16 May 2023 | 01:02:47 | |
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 | 09 May 2023 | 00:56:55 | |
Ronnie's Raiders are at the precipice of something huge, you know, just an uncomfortable ultimate evil presence. Now that they're in the king's basement kicking open his coffins, it's only a matter of time before they open a door and get to say hello.

| S5E39 Sassy Immortality Cups | 02 May 2023 | 01:00:10 | |
With the sad old headless king roasted, exploded, and generally annihilated, it's now time to loot and investigate his death chamber! Or, you know, we could just set it all on fire. Sorry, no Chris Tallman, he is shooting television but he will be back next episode! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

| S5E38 Cursed Corpse Crushin' | 25 Apr 2023 | 00:56:37 | |
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!

| The Fog Campaign - Episode 34 | 27 Aug 2025 | 00:46:53 | |
Now that the xorns are sorted, it's time to do something about the nasty eyeball wound that Twooden took from the splodey rapier. And where better to get a proper high-level healing spell performed on you than the thief's guild, from a from a high-ranking but shady guild officer that you've never seen before? | |||
| S5E37 Coffin Talk | 18 Apr 2023 | 00:57:11 | |
It's time for Ronnie's Raiders to do what they do best: upset the final resting grounds of some ancient evil! Also, to those who have asked, the group is still settling on the final spelling and also goes by Ronnie's Raiderz. | |||
| S5E36 Names of Legend | 11 Apr 2023 | 00:56:02 | |
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. | |||
| S5E35 Evilator | 04 Apr 2023 | 01:00:09 | |
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 | 28 Mar 2023 | 00:57:17 | |
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. | |||
| S5E33 Nailface | 21 Mar 2023 | 00:58:08 | |
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. | |||
| S5E32 Torture Chamber Chaos | 14 Mar 2023 | 00:54:48 | |
The group enters a room where the NPCs go bonkers, more NPCs are discovered, and they all go bonkers too. Time to light it all up!

| S5E31 The Verdant Swirly | 07 Mar 2023 | 00:59:19 | |
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 | 28 Feb 2023 | 01:00:47 | |
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. | |||
| S5E29 Jolly Return | 21 Feb 2023 | 01:03:01 | |
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. | |||
| S5E28 Death Fissure | 14 Feb 2023 | 01:03:27 | |
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.

Sadly there's no new episode this week, but we are recording and will have it next time! | |||
| S5E27 Walloped Warriors | 31 Jan 2023 | 01:00:22 | |
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 | 24 Jan 2023 | 00:53:03 | |
Things get bleak when it comes to worm murder, and so the riffs get as weird as humanly possible. Sadly no Chris Tallman for a few episodes, but he is doing well and we he'll be back ASAP.

| S5E25 What a Wormhole | 17 Jan 2023 | 00:58:56 | |
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? | |||
| S5E24 What Once Was Royal | 10 Jan 2023 | 00:58:53 | |
The path cleared, the crew must now crack open the doors to the royal hall, which appear to have been overgrown with magic vines for years, if not decades. It feels pretty unfun, because even though two of our heroes can speak to magic plants, there's probably some other horror waiting on the other side of these doors, because the DM is a dick.

| S5E23 Getting So Thorny | 03 Jan 2023 | 01:05:59 | |
The royal hall of the lich king is buried in thorns, brambles, and branches. Luckily two of our crew are experienced at dealing with flora, Dr. Uid of course, but also newcomer (and huge fan of Dr. Drew Hugh Uid) Winifred Wintergem. As long as the plant isn't terrifying this should be no problem at all! | |||
| Merry Holiday Message! | 27 Dec 2022 | 00:00:59 | |
A brief message from us to you, the people who make our dreams come true! Look, it's a song! Patreon supporters- our Decemebr bonus eps are still on the way! | |||
| S5E22 Sleigh Ride (Plus Monster Murder) | 20 Dec 2022 | 00:52:03 | |
After an official, heavily rehearsed Christmas Carol, our crew just might focus enough to take down the gigantic gelantinous cube and the clutch of will-o-wisps. Will they save the mysterious wizard, or will they kinda forget he's there and let him get annihilated? Hell, maybe they will straight up forget they're in combat and do impressions the whole episode. Guess and take bets. and Happy Holidays dear listeners!

| S5E21 Gleaming the Lube | 13 Dec 2022 | 00:57:23 | |
If you've ever wanted to imagine a monk punching acidic jelly, well then today is your day! The battle with the gelatinous cube continues, and hopefully Dan will get to live out his dream of seeing one of his friends' characters get dissolved slowly in suspended animation! | |||
| S5E20 Multiple But Limited Doors | 06 Dec 2022 | 01:01:18 | |
Back to the action! It's time to raid the Royal Hall, which is bound to have more activity within than some of the patrol hallways. And that means the real dungeon crawl is beginning in earnest! Hopefully nobody will already get dissolved! | |||
| The Fog Campaign - Episode 32 | 12 Aug 2025 | 00:59:17 | |
As the crew enters the darkened cellar of the old gnome stoneworks building, their darkvision comes in handy. But can our lean, mean, thief detective team hold up against stone-hard monster wrecking crews, or will they get smashy smashied?

| S5E19 TEN YEAR CELEBRATION! (with surprise Gerry Duggan) | 29 Nov 2022 | 01:00:05 | |
Nerd Poker is turning 10 years old! And Dan has something sneaky up his sleeve to surprise the rest of the cast, but you get to know before you listen. Gerry shows up, and we all sip wine and Scotch while goofing off, talking about old games, doing bits way off the rails, and generally being dumb. | |||
| S5E18 The Royal Hall Looms | 22 Nov 2022 | 00:58:02 | |
Our crew has gotten through swarms of harpies, retinues of soldiers, and spooky ancient traps. Now ahead we see the royal hall, the vile archlich king somewhere in its subterannean chambers. Time to rest and make a terrible mistake? Did someone just eat a Mexican pizza? We shall see! Happy Thanksgiving, listeners! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

If progress is to be made towards the lich's keep, first this small sample of his army must be dealt with. And if you're looking for some classic decaptitations, boy do we have an episode for you! | |||
