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 1 (with Jenny Zigrino) 11/26/2024

The Fog Campaign - Episode 1 (with Jenny Zigrino) A brand new adventure begins! We explore the haunted (foggy) seaside town of Dellsmouth and run into an almost-friendly fortune teller named Glendale, at her shop The Galleria! Glendale is portrayed by special guest, comedian Jenny Zigrino, who breaks out some real tarot cards and gives the characters fortunes that will actually influence their in-game experience. Get ready for some spooky horror in a new season of Nerd Poker! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 40 11/19/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 40 It's the big finale of The Mountain Campaign. Not everyone survives. Some of them do. Some of them sort-of survive. Everyone gets a freeze frame, cut to credits.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 39 11/12/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 39 Things are looking grim for our fearless Equaler, not to mention a suddenly very squashed Glibbles. But Bael is falling apart, and Kaiju Pishposh is holding it together. Perhaps there is still a chance! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 38 Things are looking grim for The Equaler as he wanders the labryith within Bael. And the rest of our crew continue to hack at Bael's outer parts.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 37 10/29/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 37 Whoopsie doodle, our fearless leader is trapped inside the minotaur demon Bael and is fighting for control. Meanwhile everyone else is kinda just trying to murder the hell out of Bael. Hopefully that ends well, because this is definitely the last leg of the final battle and it would be a shame to splatter the leader.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 36 10/23/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 36 So uh... if you banish a dragon to another dimension (another dimension, another dimension) then it stands to reason that there will be no consequences. So we should consider this all done! No way anything weird will still happen despite all the infinite death at play! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 34 10/08/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 34 Commence Operation: Pillar Babies! Ok we don't call it that within the episode, but the plan is to make pillars collapse around Furlknott the topaz dragon while he investigates his phony baloney non-babies. The big boss fight continues! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 33 10/01/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 33 Now that we have the world's creepiest lure technique in place (Sarah pretending to be an abused baby dragon) we might just have a fighting chance! As long as Glibbles doesn't botch 10-20 times. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 32 09/24/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 32 Here we go! It's Mordecair's Marauders* against Furlknott the topaz dragon. The setting: an abandoned village called Ferrentown. The crew: well one of them is a dracolich prone to madness now, so that probably won't end well. But other than that pretty cool stuff! Coming soon to our Patreon supporters and eventually Instagram: photos of the dragon on a stick being dangled over the party's miniatures.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 31 09/17/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 31 Welcome to the final confrontation! We could lay down traps to ensnate Furlnott, prepare long-range weaponry, or- hear us out- maybe we will just leave mutatated Pishposh to die and run away. That would be totally normal, right? Glibbles is into it, anyway. For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 30 09/10/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 30 The reached the top of the mountain, only to make things weird, then weirder, then seriously wtf did they just do to Pishposh? Now that a possibly much more deadly dragon than Glutt is on the way, it sure would be a bad time for one of the heroes to turn into a puddle of goo!

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 29 09/03/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 29 Now that it's time to rest, a real plan will surely hatch. Soon Knottfurl the topaz draon will return and everything will be fine because- well we aren't sure what Pishposh is doing exactly, but it's probably great!

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 28 08/27/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 28 Ken's roll at the end of the last episode turns out to be even wilder than everyone expected, and the dragon confrontation ends up weirder than anyone could have predicted (except maybe a couple of players who hint at some of it). Will THE EQUALER put the wyrms in their place?! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 27 08/20/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 27 Well it's time to tidy up that slightly messy situation we're in. Pishposh just have to free the impossibly trapped Topaz dragon (that Pishposh trapped) and the rest of the crew just has to smash the eggs that they probably need Pishposh's staff to smash. Hopefully nobody mean shows up to interrupt anyone! For merch, social media, and more be sure to head to nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 26 08/13/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 26 Pishposh will now make a solo attempt to recruit a gem dragon (nbd) while everyone else lies to Glutt and makes a mad dash for the village. Surely the village can defend itself and lend help to the party! Well wait-how well defended was it the last time we were there? Uh oh.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 25 We are back! Blaine and Sarah are ready for action, but for this and the next episode they had to Zoom call into Brian's dining room, as they got sick a second time in a row. But we couldn't wait any longer to get you an adventure! It's time to get down to some dragon deception, and stop those haunted Glutt eggs from hatching.

S6: Sorry, We Are All Sick 07/30/2024

S6: Sorry, We Are All Sick Apologies for the lateness, we all caught COVID and need time to heal before playing in person. We did record Patreon bonuses, those are on the way! /episode/index/show/brianposehnsnerdpoker/id/32352307

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 24 07/23/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 24 Alright alright alright, we're almost at the nest of the dragon Glutt sooooo- let's talk about what (and who) to destroy!

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 23 07/16/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 23 We're JUUUUUUUST about done tidying up this whole acid river / acidfalls business, with the top of Mount Dooks only a quick trip upwards. As long as this bone naga doesn't hypnotize anyone again, which it is definitely going to try and do, we just may survive. That's even better than "not a TPK!" As usual, Glibbles falls down.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 22 07/09/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 22 Well 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 07/02/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 21 The 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 06/25/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 20 We 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 06/18/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 19 Whoops! 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.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 18 06/11/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 18 Time 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 nerdpokerpod.com.

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 17 06/04/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 17 The 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 have a full crew for episodes 17 and 18. Thank you for your patience!

S6: Sorry For The Wait, We Just Wanna Stay In Person 05/28/2024

S6: Sorry For The Wait, We Just Wanna Stay In Person That'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. /episode/index/show/brianposehnsnerdpoker/id/31490417

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 16 05/21/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 16 Hopefully 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 05/14/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 15 Everyone 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 05/07/2024

The Mountain Campaign - Episode 14 The 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.
