Dungeon Master Mike Mearls leads Paul Wight (The Big Show), Joe Manganiello, Travis Willingham, and Ron Mathews on an epic level 18 adventure. -- Watch live at / dnd
Look at this. The Pinnacle of Manliness, just an absolute ocean of testosterone and beef. 100% muscle and sex. And he's DMing 4 big dudes or something.
@@SPACEHARICE Now think about other beefy guys out there, who are afraid to ask the cool nerds who are able to play D&D the whole time, if they might accept them :D
Travis: "The last time you saw me, I had helped Vox Machina..." Me: *Immediately pauses the video because I'm on episode 101 of the VM campaign and am NOT about to hear any spoilers from Grog himself.*
Everyone Else: It's so cool to see Grog and Arkhan together again! Me: HOLY SHIT THE BIG SHOW IS PLAYING D&D! I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW! Seriously, this was great. I don't typically like combat heavy games, but with Jocks Machina I wouldn't expect anything less. PART 2!!!
There are a few times where the camera shows him talking, and vapor comes out of his mouth. If we didn't see him vape on camera, I would have thought it was an effect or done for show
Paul Wright has pretty much done live theater for over 30 years all over the world. He's talented and should definitely be on Critical Role on a guest spot. I would love to see Matt DM a two parter with a female member that could be Pike, Keyleth, or someone brand new.
@@Nakall Most likely all you'd get for your money would be a polite conversation possibly with some slightly mocking joke at the expense of the "jock".
(Sorry for necro-ing) The one point I'm surprised and a little sad that he was rules-light was the Finger of Death on the dragon. I was so ready to laugh my arse off. Arkhan: "68" Mearls: "The dragon lets out a brief chuckle as the negative energy passes through it harmlessly" Arkhan: "Well fuck"
*Stares intensely* I WOULD LIKE TO RAG.......no no no. Lol. That part had me laughing hard. That and Grog literally getting talked down to by the actual Giant of the group was just great.
@@caffeinesystem You'll love the one shot in January. Vox Machina is playing the time gap between when Grog draws the void card and when they get his soul out of Pandemonium
@@caffeinesystem You'll love the one shot in January. Vox Machina is playing the time gap between when Grog draws the void card and when they get his soul out of Pandemonium
paul wight never breaks facade of being paul wight, he pokerfaces every big laugh he choses to because of all them years of wrestling hes learned to laugh inside, im sure hes giggling histerically
53:00 I'm imagining the three of them (who take the damage) trying to dodge, with the Half Giant holding up his shield, Bieber running back and forth, and Grog doing a pirouette.
Can we have a live action movie where Joe, vin diesel and travis play their characters and it’s just a fantasy action with comedic one liners and constant masculinity competition
Vin Diesel just claims he plays D&D but according to Joe, no one in Hollywood knows who plays with him so it might just be him trying to earn cool points.
@@jt808ful Oh I believe he has played. That much was obvious from the one shot. He was a fun player to watch and got fully in character and understood the rules like a pro. It's just that Joe has apparently invited him to play and been rejected, and Joe doesn't know anyone who currently plays with Vin.
I gotta tell you, watching WWF and WWE as a kid, I never thought I'd ever see Big Show in a Dungeons & Dragons panel. It's like a pleasant fever dream. I honestly wish I had friends who played D&D.
Joshua Broughm besides, Arkhan mentioning that if the hand had ‘wish’ in it, Grog wouldn’t have done the same thing, kind of squashed the argument. Lol
When they were each naming what they saw in the light, and it was going through before Grog's turn all I could think of Grog saying was "I see Vax'ildan".
"You see each of your companions armed and ready for battle..." *Grog gives Arkon the stink eye...* And then Big Show starts with the intimidation check. Grog: *squeaks for once*
This was everything I’ve ever wanted. Also, Travis’ laugh fucking kills me always. I don’t care what anyone says, he’s the CR cast member I’d most like to have a beer with.
@@Underleaf76 Since you always round down, it's even 1 dmg less, because he accidentaly brushed his pink die with a 7 and made it an 8 instead, which he counted as 8, not 7. At least I assume it was an accident, but with Arkhan the cruel you'll never know.
We've learned that high level one shots with legendary magic items was never meant for streaming. We also learned that that the players don't care and make it a party anyway. Seriously, I believe Paul is completely new to 5e and yet he did amazingly at portraying his character.I don't watch WWE but he was honestly so good!

Back in the eighties and early nineties when RPG was rare in Denmark, I was an old-fashioned carpenter, Thai-boxer, SEP-member, playing MERP and Rolemaster. Pretty hard to find a group amongst my friends...
I love seeing everyone together at the end. Such excellent groups and players! I loved the stream of annihilation for its themes, but this stream made me wish even more that I had enough time to watch every group they showcased!
I have missed Grog So much. Arkon... always great fun to have around Paul Wight/Big Show not THIS is the gem i was not expecting!! Fucking amazing And who does not love a popstrar send up character with a unicorn called Moonwalker?!? this is going to be amazing #JocksMachina !!!!
This was really cool I love seeing games like this with a very atypical cast It's so cool how this game can be accessible to anyone and everyone love it
I was expecting a raven crow sound when ravens were mentioned, but then I realized that the DM isn't Matt Mercer :D (or Liam O'Brian) and that I've been spoiled.
The Big Show 😍 he picked up on things really fast and well. Idk if he's played before but geesh he was amazing!! We really need a series of this please someone make this happen. You can have my money!!
when you realise why Paladins are among hte hardest DMG dealers and even leave frenzy babarians in the dust. just imagine them getting a crit on a lvl 4 smite, against a undead.
Beneteus der graue Wolf when i DMed a huge campaign for a while, one of my players was a vengeance Paladin. At level 11 he average over 100 points of damage a round when he went full nova with haste and vow of enmity. Any time he Crist he would hit that third level smite, it was fucking brutal
when you crit, you double dice damage 5d8 smite counts as dice damage paladin has 3 attacks, 2 regular + 1 hasted 100 points of damage becomes slightly more possible
This was a lot of fun to watch... I'd love to see them all play goblins next time..still melee characters, but goblins. on a side-note, you can totally tell that Ron Mathews actually knows what he's doing.. he sounds like a pro gamer
This was such a good game to watch. More enjoyable than anything else on TV or streaming. I wish there were more big scale events like Stream of Many Eyes and The Descent.
When suddenly Travis doesnt look as big as he does on Critical Role
Freeze014 I was thinking the same thing.
He is so tiny...wee Travis!
Freeze014 no one looks big next to big show
chase green, meh I've seen bigger...
It's crazy. He looks so slim and tiny in that round.
DM: "You are in ShadowFell, dark desolate plain of The Raven Queen"
Grog: "VAX? THIS IS YOUR BEST PRANK YET!"
Kaneis Cares this needs more likes lol
I was like "Vax cameo?!"
Kaneis Cares your name reminds me of my own in a weird way...
Dragon: “Join us and forget Tiamat.”
Joe: *loads breath weapon with religious intent*
Hahah. I just picture grog looking at him and slowly backing away knowing what is about to happen.
Look at this. The Pinnacle of Manliness, just an absolute ocean of testosterone and beef. 100% muscle and sex.
And he's DMing 4 big dudes or something.

Oh how I wish Sam Riegel were here, for whatever purpose.
Because he just adds that layer of ridiculous.That is perfect in any party
Playing Scanlan.
That would have been awesome, all tanks and the halfling... hahaha
Just imagine : the same team with Sam as DM
He's the true definition of chaotic lol.
I'm a half-giant, I'm 14 feet tall, and I'm playing a Rogue/Thief.
He says it with such a straight face 🤣
The Big Show is amazing.
Paul - "Only a moron gets off the path."
Grog (Challenge Accepted!) - "I start to..."
I LOVE that Joe is as much of a Critter as the audience. All the inside jokes landed perfectly.
He played since a young age but had nobody to play with
@@SPACEHARICE Now think about other beefy guys out there, who are afraid to ask the cool nerds who are able to play D&D the whole time, if they might accept them :D
Bieber MJ Timberlake and his Unicorn mount Moonwalker, lmao
This entire session was great. Especially great to see Arkhan and Grog once again!
Damn it arkan...didnt see the double cross coming
"Love me me some fried unicorn" dnd quote by The Big Show.
The Brobarians ride again!
Selene Dion?
Travis killing it the very first moment he opens his mouth... Such a fun guy.
Travis: "The last time you saw me, I had helped Vox Machina..."
Me: *Immediately pauses the video because I'm on episode 101 of the VM campaign and am NOT about to hear any spoilers from Grog himself.*
I was at about 110 when I found this. I did the same thing, had it in my list until I finished the campaign.
JUST did this exact same thing myself, and I'm on ep 98. Saving this for later.
I was sadly back in the 70s when I stumbled on this video lol the climb was worth it wait. Besides, what a great climb it was.
idrc1415 right? Crazy to think that in a year I’ve finished VM and am caught up on M9 just waiting for more lol 😂
Please if anyone sees this comment, do exactly what these people suggested. Pause immediately and finish campaign one. You'll thank them all.
Everyone Else: It's so cool to see Grog and Arkhan together again!
Me: HOLY SHIT THE BIG SHOW IS PLAYING D&D! I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW!
Seriously, this was great. I don't typically like combat heavy games, but with Jocks Machina I wouldn't expect anything less. PART 2!!!
Josh Kaid yeah right ? I grew up watching the big show.
There are a few times where the camera shows him talking, and vapor comes out of his mouth. If we didn't see him vape on camera, I would have thought it was an effect or done for show
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL ITS THE BIG SHOOOOW!
@@tomkvideo ya but dark sun is played abit diff i think cause he didnt know what dice did what
he's also a huge destiny fan. though I'm not sure how he feels about it now that Bungie has become the new EA.
"We make it through this adventure, we all go do his dream ok?"
All 4 of these dudes did amazingly, but Paul Wight killed it. He's a better actor than I ever thought.
the wrestling scene takes a lot of acting
really
Paul Wright has pretty much done live theater for over 30 years all over the world. He's talented and should definitely be on Critical Role on a guest spot. I would love to see Matt DM a two parter with a female member that could be Pike, Keyleth, or someone brand new.
Vann Jarmon I would 100% love to have Paul Wight on CR!!!
Kayfabe babay
We're playing LVL 18s!
Everyone: Oh dope big powerful moves!
Me: This gon be a lotta math
I love seeing old school players helping new players, this is how we grow the hobby. No judgements, just encouragement
4 massive buff dudes playing D&D and crushing stereotypes!!! Gotta love it!
While at the same time playing on the stereotypes by playing big buff dudes :D
I pity the "jock" that walks up to them and say they are nerds playing D&D..
Wait no, I don't pity them. In fact I would pay money to see that.
@@Nakall Most likely all you'd get for your money would be a polite conversation possibly with some slightly mocking joke at the expense of the "jock".
@@Evija3000 I don't know, if Paul was having a bad day someone might get tossed..
I am very aroused
Mike is a great dm. He doesn't go strict on the rules and makes everything super fun and interesting with deals and such.
(Sorry for necro-ing) The one point I'm surprised and a little sad that he was rules-light was the Finger of Death on the dragon. I was so ready to laugh my arse off.
Arkhan: "68"
Mearls: "The dragon lets out a brief chuckle as the negative energy passes through it harmlessly"
Arkhan: "Well fuck"
Dafydd Williams it was a time thing
These aren’t supposed to be very long
He also formulates himself like Mercer much of the time.
BUT WHATS WITH HIS HAIR?! JUST SHAVE ITTTTTT
None of these streams are rule heavy.
Big Show listening to the DM thinking "this guy is more creative than writers in the WWE"
Great name chris
@@hypergreedgaming9590 that’s his wwe name when he enters the ring still a cool name.
1:06:45 Matt laughing and Travis recognising it XD
I never thought I'd see Travis look so small but then you put him at the same table as the amazing Big Show and just... damn boy
Oh god I’ve missed Travis as Grog. And so far I’ve only watched the bit at the beginning but loving the connection between Arkharn and Grog again.
*Stares intensely* I WOULD LIKE TO RAG.......no no no. Lol. That part had me laughing hard. That and Grog literally getting talked down to by the actual Giant of the group was just great.
Right? I love Fjord and all, but I didn't realize how much I missed Grog until this.

More proof that D&D unites people, no matter what 'background' you come from, or what you look like
Truth!!! 🙂
"a hug... of radiant damage" gotta remember that one
Grog being called shorty... This is gold.
As soon as Travis did the Grog voice i was so happy i almost started crying... I miss Vox Machina!
Is that Matt Mercer laughing in the audience?? :D
OMG I HEAR HIM
I thought the same thing, and actually came here to see if anyone in the comments knew the answer!
Im also pretty sure i saw Deborah ann woll in the audience
I also spotted Maude Garrett in the audience
When?
"We're gonna need bigger dice."
Grog's little high pitch when he speaks to ulak keeps getting me!😅
The slow pan over to Joe after Travis introduced himself was perfect.
Am I the only one that wants more footage of Big Show playing dnd? He is such a funny and charismatic person and I've been a fan of his for years.
I want this as well his not really wrestling anymore so its something he could do to keep in the public eye
paul wight never breaks facade of being paul wight, he pokerfaces every big laugh he choses to because of all them years of wrestling hes learned to laugh inside, im sure hes giggling histerically
Ron Mathews is the best thing about this. Just so chill, funny, knows the rules and is helping others.
That slow camera pan was amazing.
53:00 I'm imagining the three of them (who take the damage) trying to dodge, with the Half Giant holding up his shield, Bieber running back and forth, and Grog doing a pirouette.
Paul Wight should totally do a Kratos cosplay, right?
He basically is Kratos cosplay.
Or Doom Guy in the new Doom game!
You won't see it coming, but I promise you'll know!
It's the Big Rogue!
YEAH ITS A BIG BAD ROGUE TONIGHT.
Ron White Yeaaaaah,its the big rooooogue, crank it up, turn off them lights!!!
Paul Wight would be perfect for the role of Grog in the Netflix live-action adaptation that's probably inevitable now.
53:52 was fantastic, that whole exchange. "I told you that in confidence."
Awesome session.
Can we have a live action movie where Joe, vin diesel and travis play their characters and it’s just a fantasy action with comedic one liners and constant masculinity competition
@bludrk returns If so someone please link the video!
@bludrk returns Matt actually created the Witch Hunter class, and Blood Hunter was what became of it after that initial one shot.
Vin Diesel just claims he plays D&D but according to Joe, no one in Hollywood knows who plays with him so it might just be him trying to earn cool points.
Peter Towns I believe in the xxx movie he had his dnd characters name tattooed on him and that was years before the one shot with the witch hunter
@@jt808ful Oh I believe he has played. That much was obvious from the one shot. He was a fun player to watch and got fully in character and understood the rules like a pro. It's just that Joe has apparently invited him to play and been rejected, and Joe doesn't know anyone who currently plays with Vin.
This is why you dont throw undead at 2 paladins
It’s like how my friend threw undead at my scourge aasimar sun soul monk and our other friend’s Vengeance Paladin
I gotta tell you, watching WWF and WWE as a kid, I never thought I'd ever see Big Show in a Dungeons & Dragons panel. It's like a pleasant fever dream. I honestly wish I had friends who played D&D.
Before seeing vid: Grog & Arkahn settling their beef finally.
NO LESS THAN 10 SECONDS IN: HOLY SHIT ITS THE BIG SHOW!!!
Joshua Broughm besides, Arkhan mentioning that if the hand had ‘wish’ in it, Grog wouldn’t have done the same thing, kind of squashed the argument. Lol
I think you mean "WEEEEEEEEE-ELLLLLLLLLLLLLL"
When they were each naming what they saw in the light, and it was going through before Grog's turn all I could think of Grog saying was "I see Vax'ildan".
"You see each of your companions armed and ready for battle..."
*Grog gives Arkon the stink eye...*
And then Big Show starts with the intimidation check.
Grog: *squeaks for once*
when Beebs wings sprout and the celestial music plays in the background "Like Baby! Baby! Baby! Oh!"
Immediately scaring away all the enemies
This was everything I’ve ever wanted. Also, Travis’ laugh fucking kills me always. I don’t care what anyone says, he’s the CR cast member I’d most like to have a beer with.
17:00 Starts the guys talking about what they see. 18:17 Grog starts on the best thing to see to imbue hope.
7d8..... PLUS 30. Joe M. - "It's the hand of Vecna y'all."
*grog looks at Arkahn* I can do that too *finger of death*
7d8 +30 halved actually. And Shadow Dragons are resistant to Necrotic. Mike let him get away with that one. Should have only been 17 damage not 68.
Underleaf76 how do you know what he wrote down on his sheet for damage?
@@Underleaf76 Since you always round down, it's even 1 dmg less, because he accidentaly brushed his pink die with a 7 and made it an 8 instead, which he counted as 8, not 7.
At least I assume it was an accident, but with Arkhan the cruel you'll never know.
Plot twist: The Speaker from the Void is Cecil Baldwin.
I thought Ron brought so much flair to this session and he helped Paul really nicely with the dice, great player.
We've learned that high level one shots with legendary magic items was never meant for streaming.
We also learned that that the players don't care and make it a party anyway. Seriously, I believe Paul is completely new to 5e and yet he did amazingly at portraying his character.I don't watch WWE but he was honestly so good!
If hes new to dnd im suprised he knows about dark sun.
Paul’s been playing d&d for decades. Joe mentioned in a d&d beyond interview that he only got people who knew how to play the game.
Paul's in Joe's home game I believe?
It isn't... for standard stuff. At Legendary, you are in full on old style Tarrasque with all the bells and whistles territory.
Drink everytime mike says "staggers back". Loved to watch all the buff bros show how its done!

Buff Nerds Unite! Hema fighter and weight lifter here who's favorite characters are Barbarians and Paladins!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone: I attack with ______
Mike: "It staggers back..."
Patrick D'Angelo yeah he could stand to work on his hit reaction description just a little bit
Best lines of the night, ‘unicorns eating my ass now’, ‘where does the horn go?’ ‘In the abyss. And thats just the halfway mark!
This is one of the most fun and entertaining live plays I've seen. So good.
Yes! I have been waiting to watch this on RUclips! :D
#JocksMachina
I love seeing everyone together at the end. Such excellent groups and players!
I loved the stream of annihilation for its themes, but this stream made me wish even more that I had enough time to watch every group they showcased!
Strange that people don't realise Paul Wight (The Big Show) is a big geek just like most of us :)
1:01:20 Travis' face when he hears action surge and three more attacks! Lol!!!!!!
I swear, Travis and Joe are twins separated at birth.
Also Biebs is fucking Hilarious.
And Ulak is just pure awesome!
never knew how much i needed to see these guys play together. good show guys ;)
When you're so fucking huge you get away with calling Travis "Shorty"
I hear ravens and the raven queen and I’m hoping for a Vax reference. Doubt it will happen, but hype either way.
I think we all know Vax was the one who chose Grog for this fight.
"I serve someone. Just like our friend, the elf."
@@Dinuial yes!
The Vechna callout to Joe was great! And the camera pan. Just, perfect.
Travis is such a teddy bear :D
I have missed Grog So much.
Arkon... always great fun to have around
Paul Wight/Big Show not THIS is the gem i was not expecting!! Fucking amazing
And who does not love a popstrar send up character with a unicorn called Moonwalker?!?
this is going to be amazing
#JocksMachina !!!!
I love how everyone agrees that Grog's vision was the best.
By far my most favorite game watched!!! Please have these same players & characters back every year. Jocks Machina 4Ever!!!
Would love to see this exact group get together for many more sessions!! Maybe with different DMs each time. Love the characters.
This was really cool I love seeing games like this with a very atypical cast It's so cool how this game can be accessible to anyone and everyone love it
Anyone notice Joe's dice tray looks like it has Vecna's hand printed in it
Thanks for pointing that out. It's cool. 😎
I hear a mercer laughing
Man, what a fun session. Show was awesome at this, holy crap.
I never knew I wanted this so much. I want this as a full-fledged campaign series. Just this group right here. They are perfect 🤣
I was expecting a raven crow sound when ravens were mentioned, but then I realized that the DM isn't Matt Mercer :D (or Liam O'Brian) and that I've been spoiled.
Or Taliesin for that matter, his crow is amazing...lol
The Big Show 😍 he picked up on things really fast and well. Idk if he's played before but geesh he was amazing!! We really need a series of this please someone make this happen. You can have my money!!
I think they said he used to play dnd when he was a kid
He's in Joe's home game. Plays all the time.
I was wondering when grog was going to yell, “ vex where are you?”
*Vax
@@SomeKindaSpy Nah nah nah, Grog saying the wrong name makes it funnier XD
when you realise why Paladins are among hte hardest DMG dealers and even leave frenzy babarians in the dust. just imagine them getting a crit on a lvl 4 smite, against a undead.
Beneteus der graue Wolf when i DMed a huge campaign for a while, one of my players was a vengeance Paladin. At level 11 he average over 100 points of damage a round when he went full nova with haste and vow of enmity. Any time he Crist he would hit that third level smite, it was fucking brutal
Anthony Sampedro you can only do a maximum of 5d8 smite damage so that’s impossible but good try
when you crit, you double dice damage 5d8 smite counts as dice damage paladin has 3 attacks, 2 regular + 1 hasted 100 points of damage becomes slightly more possible
at level 11, paladin gets improved smite extra 1d8 radiant damage to any weapon attack, added to divine smite, 5d8 to a total of 6d8

Learning that my favorite wrestler of all time the BIG SHOW, loves dnd... I’m so happy!!!
So good! hopefully more will be done in the future!!!
The big guys getting the big numbers. This was awesome!
How am I a year late to this? Well, better now than never
This is amazing! I'm crying with laughter 8 minutes in
I’m so mad it took me so long to watch this! Big Show is ON IT!!! Hilarious 😂 we gotta have more Jocks Machina !!!
I love how straight away the Big Show was 'in-character'.
Such a fun one shot - but also i just noticed the SoME branded water...fancy!
This was a lot of fun to watch... I'd love to see them all play goblins next time..still melee characters, but goblins.
on a side-note, you can totally tell that Ron Mathews actually knows what he's doing.. he sounds like a pro gamer
This was such a good game to watch. More enjoyable than anything else on TV or streaming. I wish there were more big scale events like Stream of Many Eyes and The Descent.
Jocks Machina is amazing
Sure man
You coming with?
Roll constitution saves. :D
oh man, one of the most funniest groups I have listened to so far, lol
Travis Willingham is not only a national but an international treasure! I love Grog so much!
I love this dicefest. Sometimes one combat encounter can be so enthralling.
Big Show is an enormous man. Look how many dice fit in one of his hands!
Ron Matthews, now roleplaying as Neil Patrick Harris.
