[Bonus] Kingdom Dad Monster - Ep. 5 - The Butcher's Bill
🕑 Added 2024-07-10 19:18:25 +0000 UTCThere is no time to hunt this year, as the fearsome Butcher approaches the lantern light of Nadpod. Join the Nadite people as they face their first Nemesis battle.
5 Survivors will face the Butcher in order to protect all that they’ve built. And look at it! Look at how big our settlement has gotten! So many fancy new buildings and innovations. Nad Pod is getting too big to fail. Or so we hope.

Also, as always, this map is being illustrated by the ever talented, Sage.
---
THE NEMESIS
A Nemesis is a special, pre-scripted fight that progresses the overall story of Kingdom Death monster. This being the fifth year, means we fight our first nemesis - the Butcher.
Look at this nasty dude. He uses faces as lamp shades.
Matt here, just saying this is one of my early miniatures. Freddie dunks on it in the video, and he is right. You can’t really tell those are faces on the lamps, can you? First off, I dont have clear lines between the skin and the glass, and the contrast is too weak. The skin really needs to get darker in the shadows and, the OSL effect isn't nearly bright enough to sell that they are lamps and... look, if we survive long enough to refight this guy, I will touch up the paint job. Okay?
THE FIGHT
This is the layout of the battle. As you can see, the 5 survivors are placed on one edge, with the Butcher standing menacingly in the middle. To the bottom right, you find our savior, the Nightmare Tree.

Our dear Dr. Ges, doing their best to fend off the swinging cleavers of the butcher.

Woke Campus somehow evading the Butcher by laying down behind a tree.
Finally nasty card we all are grossed out by. Pretty cool art if you ask me.
Next Episode, a radically changed Nad Pod settlement will fight another GORM!

This got so succession pilled

Poor will lol
Damarin, known to the otters as Slippery Slope
Dr. Jess and Bufo were my favourites, why do my favourite characters always die! Ugh.
Will Chang
I ducking DIED laughing when Will and Freddie get into it about survival. Love this energy
David ortega
True, but it's also funny how much they're bullying him
sybillium4
They're all boss fights. It's a boss fighter game. They cheat and fudge the rules so much though it wouldn't matter
Ian Francis
Nah, Will is justified in popping off lmao
Generalnuke
Need shields and full armor sets for the boss fights.
Juan sandoval
The same way you hit a stone column with a rubber mallet. You can hit it, doesn't mean it damaged it.
Roy Kruse
Poor Will
Caleb Jud
Poor Will :( I feel bad but he also asked about various other ways to not die but didn't ask about survival :(
Ian Lies
Is the file called "1" for anyone else? what did i won?
ADoubleEgg
Yes except all of them are Joseph
Jared
Why’s everyone so mean to will??
Charleen Lamphere
Combining pommel horse with actual horseback riding is a sport called vaulting (not pole vaulting lol) I used to do it. It's a lot of fun! Everything from handstands to the splits on a running horse. 😄
Yoka
I can’t share photos here but I made a family tree I posted to the discord chat. Joker baby was changed to moana but there was an unnamed character so I guess it could be that one. Jeremy Christmas , dark Brandon sweet James and babe mawdeep all come from boofo hero of the hunt line
Quinn
hated when everyone talked this episode
Devan Kranz
JUSTICE FOR DR GESS!!
Quantum OFZENTRIX
Id find it so annoying to play this game, why is it that you can hit a thing and not damage it
Walter Meyer
UPDATE: it was in fact ep.2 @"1:12:00" (one hour, twelve min)
Don Jon
Come on guys, i am hurting for more of this content. I lay awake at nights pleading into the abyss for a new episode. The wait feels eternal. The pain, oh the pain, please i beg you satiate my impending madness.
Can & Robin
I believe every character has a lifetime reroll, not one reroll for the entire game. But i love the stakes and i think this series is great
Logan Child
Completely understand over here, libations and dungeons and daddies is HOW I ROLL!!!
Joe
Anyone know when we are getting more of this? I need it 🤣
TipToembleWeed
Ganna reply to my own thing here and say I’ve had some wine and lost track of what I was talking about halfway through
TipToembleWeed
Idk how to swing this, but yall are creatives: my attention really leaves with the combat in this game, but settlement stage is really fun. I like that it starts from ground zero figuring out things like language and if it’s one to eat people and that the unknown world is scary and dangerous. And as an audio viewer, it’s more interesting cuz yall have more time to improv without life-threatening stakes
Haley Kuehner
I was scrolling for this lol, I see your username everywhere
Worlds Nerdiest Strongman
Is the boofo lineage just a twisted version of the Joestar family ? (Jo Jo’s bizarre adventure)
Louis Frohock
I binged all these today and wow I’ve loved it makes me want to get it
Robert Kitchen
I finished season 2 and decided to get on Patreon. And I'm so glad I did. These kdm ones are worth it alone. The story is great. I'm looking to get the game myself now lol. Can't wait for the next episode and hope this gets a long run.
Tim TaterT0ts
I have now accidently said "Theyre trying to hack? Someone get under the table!", out loud at my IT job because of this
Alex Russell
Yes please more of this :)
Josh Perry
When are we getting more??????
Zac Watson
I really hope this series becomes a priority for a few months I’ve listened to the whole thing like 4 times now
Preston Maples
Please more it’s so damn good!
Walter Meyer
Fun fact. Master Smeef is indeed Bufo, Hero of the Hunt's grandson. It's in ep.3 I think but Bufo-debeppo and Gorm Defeater have a kid and Dr. Ges and someone have a kid. It's the only double feature so far of fertility but it leaves some hope for the BUFO line
Tatty Gash
Been thinking about signing up to the patreon for a while, finally joined for this show, absolutely love idea of the game and the mechanics, but the story and comedy is peek daddy nonsense! Keep it up!
Arkrigths
Yeah please more
Tinyhumanbrain76
When next dad monster? 👀
Tinyhumanbrain76
PLZ MORE KINGDOM DAD MONSTER!!!! WE WANT MORE PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ!!! Its amazing!! We must have moreeeee
London Mickens
I don't know why it took me so long to listen to this series. It’s one of my favorites now.
ea-nasir's seventh favorite wife
i got great news for freddie, pommel horse + actual horse is a sport, idk if its olympic level but it is a sport
Philip Enders Arden
Can we get a talking orb once every six episodes or something?
Rebecca Brent
I still can’t believe how much enjoyment I get out of listening to a podcast of a board game 😅
Kay M. C.
I hate how strongly my mind was blown by the drama of “it’s wet for the first time.”
Mitochondria
Orb is my favorite character I sure hope nothing happens to him
Maxine Hayes
I feel like this game is severely affecting Will’s mental health😂
Danny Baker
Anyone else having trouble playing it? I can only listen to the Live Listen version
Arkole Blake
Spoopy pupper NEEDS to have scrappy doo voice. Freddie make this happen please?
Arkole Blake
Sonof Boofo was one of the first 10 unnamed survivors they found after the first hunt. Freddie named them before the first ‘bed dance’. Boofo de bepo was the first child born in the settlement after mamma daddy and Boofo, hero of the hunt consumed the love juice. Holy crap I’ve listened to this series too much. Lol.
Matt
Very first rules error 😂😂😂. They constantly screw up the rules of this game
Unkie_Fresh
I would love to draw all of these creatures, they are flipping amazing
Jiggly Cyanide
Mistakes are A-ok, cause the passion is clear!

Relistening while collecting flowers in Ghost of Tsushima so I can dye my Samurai clan armor. You just never know what the day might bring.

Once again fantastic content, this Patreon is amazing!
Pedro Machado Figueira
Isn't life funny? Haven't I spent two weeks in California this year because of work I would've never understand the whole sweet james thing (I'm not from the US). I feel blessed that it all led to this moment
John P
I am curious if they went first (due to defending home) instead of the Butcher if it would have changed much. They could have avoided the mood. I actually love all of the rules errors. I think that is a hilarious and fun part of the KDM experience. It is great hearing everything playout and I always have a smile on my face while listening to the podcast.
Lea
Or maybe Kill lamppost
Lea
Im surprised they haven't done something like Cill Wampos yet 😂
Lea
I think they either edited it out or it was the midnight sword thing that wasn't supposed to be used
cheese biscuit
every time freddie says munting i lose 10 years off my life
Taylor
I am supremely entertained by this series! Give us MOAR!
Casey Norman
The two genders. Ball gazers and sword wielders
Levi Mock
If another child is born, can Freddie canonically make the newborn Bufo "Hero of the Hunt" reincarnated and just chalk it up to orb magic shenanigans? Could be a way to keep the Bufo line going.
Jasper Hulme
Will was robbed!! Can't say how excited I am to see how he'll be robbed next episode 😀
Running Ryden
I believe that is how it works. Roll to hit, roll again to wound. Anthony says in episode 1 that this is probably the most confusing part of the game (which is saying something given the complexity).
sybillium4
No, you choose the level of a monster when deciding the next hunt. There's only 3 levels, and technically a 4th legendary level, but these guys are very, very far away from fighting a level 2
Adam Petra
I'm really enjoying this series so far. Way, wayyy too much whining from Will, fun episode otherwise.
Bradward Jones
Dude Matt totally reminds Freddy about HIS survival. Then Freddy comes at Will saying he shouldn’t have to be told! 😂 Will was robbed this ep.
Scloop
Couldn't spot the weapon error, what was it??
AutumnBeFallin
The Chuck E Cheese joke Beth made was gold
gilmobb
Matt and Freddy destroying me with the one two punch of their gags. This is such an incredible series - the improv is incredible!! Matt your minis and descriptions rock!!!
Teehea
So deeply feeling Will’s pain this entire series
Robbie Rodriguez
I love this series!
BörkBörk
Orb! Noooooooo!!!
McCall
I actually really loved The Orb. RIP
Creekie05
So, do you have to move to the second level of the monsters if you have fought that monster before?
foolishfrogs
the teet sucking took me OUT
DankLord420
This shit is so good "....hey."
Chris
Personally, I love how salty he is getting about it lol.
Zoe Wrath
GORM GORM GORM GORM
Zachary
Im so glad they are doing this series, love it!
Darryl Holiday II
I listened to that Intro twice through before moving on. Idk I enjoyed it a lot I guess.
Yoka
Well yeah they are telling a story! They follow rules in the game and such. It was a slip up obviously but yeah sonuv boofo was one of the starting survivors the starting 4 founders met. No related to anyone even if now boofo calls this person “son” and sonuv boofo refers to the sybling as sister
Emily Leith
I also think about Sampson's hair too much. It is an interesting story. 🤔

Santiogo Strumph
Just figured out i could comment I LOVE THIS SERIES AND SEASON THREE IS AMAZING much love
Keith Rodriguez
Matt could break every rule and I’d be like THATS THE FUCKING WAY ITS PLAYED NOW
Yoka
No one noticed fredie cheated xD
Yoka
I’m sorry but can someone please explain this to me? Because I was sure son of boofo was the daughter of boofo called boofo depepo and they changed their name to boofo prime became male and died. So boofo has no other children
William Cumpose
I AM WILLIAM CUMPOSE.. SEE ME
Donovan Perea
So help me god if Freddy doesn’t name a character “Buffo: Episode Six - Return of the Buffo” next episode….
Eric Willey
I did not think this game was player vs. player but here we are I guess.
Gurpgork Baksheesh
Have these guys actually equipped any skulls yet? This is like the third one
Adrian
Is the song at the end available somewhere?
Mac Q
Is it a roll to hit the monster, and then a roll to wound it?
Kelly Hardik
Just throwing it out there that munting is unfortunately a thing and I don't like to assume but I'm gonna guess you dont want to use that word 😂 please for the love of all you hold sacred do not Google it
Nathanael Rogers
I love this so much
Robbie Lowry
So happy this is back!!
Rargona
He keeps trying to make character driven decisions and the game always punishes him for it. I hope he never gives up, it’ll pay off will I’m sure!
Seth Miller
Billiam Compost
Erin Gill
does munting mean getting drink/throwing up from drinking too much? i saw another definition, and i dont think it was that, lmao (tw: corpse things... don't look it up!)
Alec Horn
Name recommendation: bastard of Boofo, one of his illegitimate children
Josiah Muskrat
BOOOOOOOOFFFOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOO

* Spoiler * Wow Will cannot keep his characters alive

By the end of this campaign, everyone will be playing characters whose names sound vaguely like "Will Campos". 😂

YAYYY NEW KINGDOM DAD MONSTER
Sydnie Schreiber
As an equestrian, Freddie, they do indeed have a sport, in the Olympics, which is gymnastics on horse back 😁 it's called Vaulting. Also, horses have their own Olympics run by FEI
sybillium4
Listened twice, i think they caught it actually. Generally speaking there were so many rule errors and misplays, they'd really benefit from a do over it might be the worst yet regarding gameplay
King Anvl
Guys… I dont think Matt is human

Literally ITS ENTERTAINMENT it's great, rules are ALWAYS guidelines to Fun
Brent Limyansky
Do you know what the "endgame item" was they were talking about in the beginning? Even with them calling attention to the error, I don't know enough about the game to figure out what it is...
sybillium4
A lot more than one mistake has been made lol, it's been a rulings nightmare but it's just for fun so
Ari Cohen
I love how this is just animal farm
Ari Cohen
I’ll wait as long as it takes

Thanks for catching this! It's been fixed.

So good, been loving this in combo with the call of Cthulhu

I remain loyal to the buufo lineage. They shall return to power one day.

Please make this more than once a month. Please.

Justice for Dr. Gess.

I knew Dr. Gess was going to die but it still kinda hurt
Sebastian Frantzen
Glad to see they are taking a moment from their side show, to focus on the stuff we are here for! 👏
Mark Maloch
Y'all are honestly some of the funniest people I have ever listened to. This series is phenomenal!
Thomas Jones
Hey Matt, do you think in the next episode you could add a family tree? I think it would be cool to see how the legend of nad pod grows. This series, sort of reminds me of the founding of rome, we saw the reign of boofo, now we might be in the era of woke campus. the fans could even start sport betting on player characters too to make freddie happy lol.
Goodbye Nostalgia
Lord, I love this series so much
Andrew
I’ve never felt more “shut up and take my money” energy before. I love this so much.
BmovieBimbo
I so appreciate this dropping today, provided some needed laughs 🩷
Benjamin P Parson Gomberg
Yeah, I’d be kind of annoyed because Matt seems to remind everyone of the rules and what they can do except will. And the only reason they were even out there was because Will thought they could use the sword and Matt didn’t check it until they were already engaged in battle. Ah well.
Kuko Creations
I still laugh every time I hear "Paul Atreideeeznuts"!

But guess what? Christmas comes every year. So we can get up to 5 more buufos.

Jiminy Christmas is the sole survivor of the buufo bloodline. And he's "immortal" so the buufo bloodline should have 5 more years until the next murder.

Kayla S. Pingree
YAAASSSS. (I adore the opening of this one, as well! Ignore the rules lawyers, you guys are awesome!)
Barf Drinker
Awww Matt doesn’t have the newer model of the butcher. That one is so much better than the old chicken legged version.

God I hope you’re joking.

I was just relistening to the other episodes of KDM and got confused with how rolling to hit works - they roll to hit the monster, then roll to hit again? Maybe I was only half listening…
