Campaign Structure
[edit]In addition to the three main campaigns, several short adventures and various one-shots have taken place between their airings or concurrently.[7] Each campaign is set in a "homebrewed" fantasy world developed by the hosts, including "Bahumia" (Campaigns 1 and 3) and "Eldermourne" (Campaign 2).[8] NADDPOD has also included live and touring performances, typically in the form of one-shot adventures.[6] Each episode is accompanied by music and sound effects produced by host Emily Axford.[9]
