Y'know, I feel like Dragon Friends does the additional NPC voices through Ben, Edan, and guests so well that it's kind of disappointing that other podcasts don't do the same.
I've currently started on Dungeons & Daddies*, at the suggestion of someone on the Dragon Huddle, and yeah. It feels weird not to have an 'additional voices' person, after mainlining DF for a while.

*Not a BDSM podcast.

Having a dedicated NPC person really is the secret sauce that DF has over all other podcasts. The fact that Ben takes so much delight in loving with Dave's notes makes it so much better.

Honestly Ben is so good at it that it's kind of disappointing when he isn't there. Edan's good at it too, but Ben just takes a puckish amount of pleasure in it and really sets himself apart


I've also been listening to Not Another D&D Podcast and it's great too, but so wholesome compared to dragon friends in how the players are so supportive and enthusiastic about pursuing the adventure that the DM presents them each week

I had to stop for a second at 'so wholesome' when I recalled that the first episode starts with how they're not going to have a discussion about Dragon Pussies, and then proceeds to talk about Dragon Pussies for a good 3 minutes. That said I think NADPOD is my favorite Podcast currently though I am hearing a bunch about Dungeon Daddies in the past week.

For better or worse, NaddPod doesn't have a Michael Hing trying to get one over on the rest of the party.

e: I listened to a few Dragon Daddies too, and I wanted to know what they all looked like. Turns out you need to specify "Dragon daddies podcast" when searching it, or you just get deviant art accounts and videos about Spyro 1?

ee: Oh yeah its "DUNGEON daddies." Well, you live and learn.

And yet dungeon daddy dave is conspicuously absent from the cast, hmm

Dave said in the dragon huddle that the twist set change in the last episode was Ben's idea; I wonder what Dave was going to do on his own? I suppose I could just ask him, there's a group for that now, but I'm too lazy to look for the post again

Oh hey, looks like they managed to pull the entire group up for Hell Freezo-s Over, The second season. (Probably because they're streaming for DnD officially, to promote new upcoming material.)

It would be great if they can keep Ben around for the entire season, (since it's paid by DnD and all.)

That was an excellent scene, and Hing offering Top Cat's House as the location was the icing on the cake.

Also Ben and Hing agreed on-stream to do a new FTAGH this weekend, and they would certainly not deceive us, the loyal audience, about this kind of thing

I know it's very hard for them to do these days what with being functional partners and members of society and poo poo (the cowards) but I'm always sad after listening to a new FTAGH knowing it's who knows when until another comes.

i dared to hope after the most recent one, because they'd figured out a remote recording setup that allowed them to do episodes without having to physically be together, but, well, i guess not

i mean i'm not earnestly complaining that they prioritize their lives over the free podcast that i haven't joined the patreon for, it's just always a nice treat when one comes out, because I've finally finished listening to them all (in reverse order, and man, the first episode is pretty rough at points)

Ha, I knew that already. I would have said that Ben's character choices were influenced by that, but I know from listening to FTAGH that his love of Hanna-Barbera voices runs much deeper, so it's just beautiful serendipity I guess

Forcibly continuing the adventure and almost getting killed after everything is over is really the hallmark of the Dragon Friends, though

He’s simply trying to prevent an evil cult from fulfilling a prophecy that would spell doom for the world, by any means necessary (that just happen to involve some light wanton murder). What could be more good than that?

It feels like it used to be possible to describe episodes as peak Hing, but as of today's ep I think that line graph has gone fully exponential.

The only thing more burned down than Daggerford are Dave's notes.

I can't wait til the Dragon Friends and the Beef babes finally meet up, especially after today's Beef Babe episode.

I am curious to how Hing will react when he hears that Bethanee has a currently unsigned contract to help murder the Dragon Friends for the now vengeful Kithercy. Assuming Kithercy doesn't immediately try to kill Freezo, or vice versa
