Nerd Poker

Each week, under dark of night, in a dining room in Encino, a group of warriors (nerds) play Dungeons & Dragons (poker for nerds) and you’re invited to attend!

The Fog Campaign - Episode 25 06/25/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 25 We've had a grand ol' time talking to a creepy fish man about the worms in his pocket, then let's-a-go paddle out to the terrifying fissure in the bay in a creaky ol' boat! Sure an otherworldly fog is tumbling out of it but this boat is probs super safe! For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 24 06/17/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 24 Well, now that the little nightmare worm is in a jar, it's time we got some rest. The question is- since all beds thus far are either assassin traps or muddy spots on the ground- where? And the big question looms- do we kill the interplanar priestess, go for one last score, or risk both? For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 23 06/10/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 23 Finally our crew of sneaky thieves get to see what's behind the tinkerer's door, and wouldn't you know it, it's horrifying. Will we get to use the combat grid, or will we just feel attacked emotionally? For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 22 06/03/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 22 As the crew enters into the deceased gnome tinkerer's workshop, it appears ol' Nimblenubbin had some dark secrets to hide. Not the least of which- this looks like Brian's college apartment. Luckily Brian's player character has otherworldly sleight of hand bonuses!

The Fog Campaign - Episode 21 05/27/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 21 Our crew is meeting up with Maude Nimblenubbin to try to make peace. Which will be difficult given that we killed her husband, or as one of us asks- "We didn't do anything to her husband, did we?" Perhaps this will also provide some kind of lead towards... "The Priestess." For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 20 05/20/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 20 The murderer! We may have just cornered Gnome Jack the Ripper, AND Dan is mutating Ken again. The kind of classic Nerd Poker shenanigans you know and love. But do we keep the murder harness? Or are those too hard to sell? For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 19 05/14/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 19 Our heist crew has done it, and escaped the abandoned temple with major loot. Sure they're locked in a shack in Soggytown, which sounds like the world's creepiest country song, but they're on their way to sell their spoils to the Thieve's Guild as soon as they can get through the murder fog.

The Fog Campaign - Episode 18 05/06/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 18 It seems like a pretty standard treasure room with a gigantic heretic god's statue staring dead-eyed at everyone. So it's time to grab the super chill astral plane skeleton and book it out of here! For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 17 04/29/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 17 Of COURSE the treasure vault has three gelatinous detritus tubes full of toothed leviathan tongues. What podcast did you think this was, anyway? We now take you to a party of scrawny detectives trying to wade through walls of plasmatic murder. For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 16 04/22/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 16 We delve into the ancient sahuagin where things start off very Giger-y and fillopian-y. There may be undead fish people, ancient mud leviathans, and other classic things that happen with failed saving throws. Can we get some sick loot without Dan turning one of us inside out?!

The Fog Campaign - Episode 15 04/15/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 15 There's a bit of unpleasantness with this bounty hunter to deal with, hopefully everything is chill now that we spared his life. The whole ruining of his reputation is probably no big deal right? Then its off to investigate a way to our next vault heist, and to suffer a deeply unsettling, or depending on your feelings perhaps adorable, cascade of Kua-toa NPC voices.

The Fog Campaign - Episode 14 04/08/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 14 Assassin our assin! The crew hunts down, corners, and puts the smack down on this drow bounty hunter, AKA Dan's bastard of a drow #632. Hopefully he'll explain himself and we can get to our next heist! For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 13 04/01/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 13 The antics return to Brian's dining room, where the drow bounty hunter is now the hunted. Will he escape through the fog or be brought into brutal submission and be interrogated? We all know how cool drow are, so he's probably just a chill dude who will get away.

The Fog Campaign - Episode 12 03/25/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 12 It's time to strut out of the thieves guild and take a breather at the inn. Yeah yeah yeah we might have a target on our backs because we blew up the giant house of Dellsmouth's crankiest creep, but it's time to eat omlettes and probably maybe hopefully not get jumped!

The Fog Campaign - Episode 11 03/18/2025

The Fog Campaign - Episode 11 Wooo we have a gnome mech and blew up a mansion! Time to sell some loot and celebrate. Hopefully we haven't upset the natural order of things too much and none of the other rich people in town are like, suspicious or whatever. Time to go dump that babysitting job on the Thieves Guild! They'll love it! For 3 bonus episodes a month and more, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/nerdpoker .

The Fog Campaign - Episode 10 Well, now that we are straight up annihilating the mansion, tactics shall change. It is time to drop the facade of robbery and pretend we are heroes!

The Fog Campaign - Episode 9 Now that the two magic swords are secure, it's time to bust out of this old drow's mansion with the spoils. Bust out through- well let's see- the back door guarded by cursed statues, the windows protected by death wards, the basement we flooded with the entire ocean- or hey what could POSSIBLY be the downside of just marching back out the front door?

The Fog Campaign - Episode 8 It's time to dust our hands off and go all in on looting this wine cellar! A big old treasure chest is only a door away! But uh, what's all this with the kobolds?
