I love Mike calling himself “the quarterback in the college football team” so confidently as if he knows what those words mean
He was the lead footballman
He did well! Passing yards, offensive plays, touchdowns, Super Bowl. Sounded like he knew his stuff.
@@responsibleaccount3918 He uses the -1 wisdom modifier in Hitman™
Mike Channels his inner clown.
YAY SPORTS!!
He was the primary sportsperson on the prolate-spheroid-throwing-and-or-running coalition
I just wanted them all to gaslight Brad so hard that he became convinced his name was actually Greg.
I wanted someone to call him Brad and then Mike yells "It's Greg- I mean Brad!"
Honestly that reminds me of G-ma/Grendan from Drawfee's drawtectives.
And that he killed a chicken with a man
Luke: Mistakening calling Mike's character Greg and getting frustrated with himself.
Andy: Intentionally calling Mike's character Greg and Mike getting frustrated.
Mike: Plays the jock who's supposed to be the college alpha
Andy playing a nerd: *Bullies him*
@@mar_speedman Luke: Killian, with his intelligence and his knowledge of wolves and… his strong biceps… and his dreamy blue eyes…
Brad and Madison: 🤨
@@mar_speedman I read it more as a Philosopher King, but maybe that was just vibes Luke was radiating...
So do Andy and Mike just have that kind of friendship, or do they genuinely dislike each other?
Probably because hes wearing a light jacket with "Greggs" on the left breast....
I am so incredibly in love with the fact that Ellen and Andy's characters have surnames and Mike's just doesn't. His name is Brad. Exclusively. Full name? Brad Quarterback In The College Football Team.
Andy was such a good sport, really pulling for Eric even when his character's life was on the line
Andy's character arc is so on point for the Poindexter who steps up to be a good selfless man.
So many pulls that would have led to absolutely hilarious causes of death, like Andy possibly dying from trying to know things about wolves.
"trusting fully in your knowledge that wolves just want cuddles you go out and try to cuddle the wolf. You suddenly remember 'Oh wait, that was a children's book' moments before you are savaged by a wolf"
I was sort of hoping for Brad to somehow twist his ankle so spectacularly it led to his immediate death, because man, what a way to go.
“Sadly you turn your ankle over a root, spraying bone shards over the entire area with lethal force. One lodges in your brain, RIP Brad”
I would have loved to hear the explanation of Brad dying trying to flip off the shore.
"I flip the bird to the wolf"
Ah, so it's not just Egbert who has a -1 WIS modifier 😆
Mike is actually pretty smart, he’s a really good journalist. It’s just funny to play a silly character
17:30 when Erik single handedly chooses the survivor and tells them what's going on without needing to say a word, total unappreciated MVP
I love me some Dread! I ran this same scenario for some friends a few years back, and at one point two characters were fighting over control of the single oar that was the only even vaguely weaponlike thing they had. They alternated for something like 17 consecutive pulls, both unwilling to back down, before one of them failed...at which point the other character gained control of the oar, swung it at their opponent to fend them off, and accidentally (?) cracked their skull open, sending them tumbling unconscious into the Colorado River to drown.
That was the funniest thing I've read in a while! I love it! 🤣
If there was anybody else left, I hope they (in character) had some sort of "WTF" moment.
I never expected Killian to be a hero
I love this channel so much. To think it now exists because of the seed that was planted when you all did a D&D session as a fan request for reaching 1M subscribers.
2 mil subs on oxbox, but yeah it has branched out well into good content and a fun sister channel in oxventure, it has been a journey watching it grow and everyone having fun together
I love the "Don't Be a Dob!" poster in the background 🤣
Also the “guy went on fire” poster too.
Yes! That was my favorite part of this whole video.
I only just noticed them towards the end. Paused it for a sec to make sure that's what they really said. Haha.
I absolutely love that Mike wears Greggs merch as a varsity jacket
I find it interesting how this game is almost as much of a challenge for the GM as it is for the players, like how Luke could theoretically have had to explain how Madison looking around with a flashlight got her killed.
The batteries just explode
I was so sure Andy was the Werewolf…Luke kept hinting to his unnatural strength.
This was so much fun :)
I was definitely thinking he was gunna end up being a werewolf too if he had lived long enough. Now we'll never know...
This is so tense that i bumped my own table and freaked out. CINEMA.
How does Mike keep making the best characters with the least amount of effort?
Tfw the answer to the question is contained within said question.
Maybe it's a lot of effort! Mike is my favorite role player in the group. Though my most recent DnD character has a sprinkle of Dob.
Probably in the same manner that Andy keeps making insufferable characters. Corazon has gotten better, I’ve not watched any of the second Blades series so can’t judge character development there. But I’ve got to admit, he plays them well.
Mostly it’s by playing the character not playing to win. Not to throw shade at the others they’re all great. But Mike and Luke RP well because they will make actions in line with their character that are detrimental to themselves or the team.
Mike also plays characters that are mechanical burdens. A paladin that never paladins, an aristocrat that refuses to work. He’s often a secondary villain to the group.
Andy does this to a slightly lesser extent, although is genuinely mechanically useful. I think Andy would be great at playing a villain and id like to see them play some form of PVP game where Andy is the villain, Mike à henchman, luke/Chiodini DM and the rest are the heroes.
I’d really love to see Jane do this more with prudence, lean into the evil, be a little less altruistic.I think she would do really well if she did evil stuff out of site of the group and started playing up the nice staff as a “facade”.
Ellen’s characters are usually “good/true neutral”, so I don’t think her characters lend themselves to creating obstacles too often. Usually it’s by refusing to do things against her principles. So it’d be cool to see Ellen make an even more principled character at some point. Ellen the paladin type thing, where the principles are more obstructive.
@@ironized I would actually love to see them do a one-off TTRPG where they've each designed someone else's character. Nothing crazily over-the-top or difficult to portray, but just because they tend to design characters who play to their own strengths and idiosyncrasies. This is only natural and is probably for the best, given how hard it is to improvise the psychology of an entirely new persona - which is why I think a one-off where they don't get to choose would be hilarious, switch the roles around a bit.
Nice of Ellen to have resisted that long to correct the Alpha wolf thing because I could see it in her eyes from the moment it was brought up
Mike and Ellen's reaction to Luke's "Bicep action" description at 43:03 had me dying!
i wrote a long backstory for killian that explained all this but he died before it came out, maybe i'll talk about it some time!
@@oxventureInquiring minds want to know!
Andy was absolute legend for trying to save Eric but effortless charisma of Mike’s character amazing too. Hats off to Luke for A+ adventure. ❤
Just to say, nearly all signal/emergency flares, including those fired from flare guns, are not only waterproof, but designed to fire underwater, so Brad having a waterlogged flare gun shouldn't really pose a problem.
I'm imagining Greg trying to survive while the Madeline screams laughs boos and comments from beyond the grave.
His name is Brad TT
This was great, and top marks to whoever did the editing! Those audio effects, and the actual non-stop distant howling in the second half was terrifying. I love the idea of oneshots like this. Any chance of Luke and Jane playing the campers from the other group? Did they escape their guide before he turned??
Would watch this, Johnny could join in as well!
@@kattnap92 Johnny should be the guide!
Ellen I love that you brought up the actual study of alpha was just wolf parents with their children
You just know that Andy/Killian was SEETHING in the background of this 😂
Greg was the worst in the group, kept getting asked for help and every time he would just blow everyone off and make Brad do it instead. Clearly he was the true monster in this tale.
You had me in the first half, ngl
*SPOILER ALERT*
Luke: "The jock is alive and well!"
Andy/Ellen/Most of the audience: *_"I've never been this angry"_*
"I'm checking on him and keeping him alive, but ive also got the hatchet at the ready." Thats pragmatic 😂
1:43:42 “and then, when the wolves come, we just… I dunno… throw rocks at it and stuff.”
“Mm.”
“And a hatchet!”
“Or…”
“On a string!”
“Mm-hmm.”
“I think I’ve made myself clear.”
Appropriately enough, this had me howling. Ellen’s pain at that point makes me think Madison being killed before she had to sit through “my plan is to put my hand in the werewolf’s mouth, and then, fingers crossed, also pull my hand back out” was actually a kind of mercy.
Ellen playing Madison and looking at the camera like Jim from The Office had me cackling
Also, Mike knocked it out of the park, as always. My god he had me absolutely dying
Who's Jim?
@@coyoteartist the American version of the office has different names.
@@Anna-Lise Aren't the two basically completely different shows that just share the same premise
@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor basically its like skins, queer as folks and a few other shows american producers decided to bring state side. the first season is always the closest like the original(unless its something like kitchen's nightmares then its different from the start) but it quickly gets turned into like all american tv shows.
@@Kris-wo4pj I didn't actually know of any of those shows, I am not knowledgeable about most television at all regardless fo where it's from, especially sitcoms.
Is no one considering Andy's character's hands would be soaked in blood. I mean he put pressure on that gut wound, then threw a football and read his book.
You're right, he cheated with that 100ft throw and made his book all sticky for the next future slasher-victim that reads it.
The eyeroll during character intro was delicious
Made the spectacularly bad decision to start watching this late at night. Now it's 11:30 pm, I have goosebumps and chills running up and down my body, and I'm hearing phantom wolf howls even though the video's stopped. Cheers, Luke and crew! Hopefully my inevitable nightmare won't impede my ability to sleep *too* badly...
I was a bit skeptical of the jenga mechanic, but it genuinely added a lot of tension and risk. I would love to see more of this!
Amazing! Would 100% watch more of this 🤣 thanks guys! 🐺🐺🐺
Our pleasure!
Ah yes, Dread. The first few minutes of which are fun, and everything past that is a tense battle of wills between you and the tower of blocks.
This was amazing! Who would have thought that Brad (known to those closest to him as Greg Bradley) would be the only survivor. He probably channeled his anger at the fact that he wouldn't be able to use the hatchet in a string tactic and just went ahead and killed the werewolf like nothing.
The use of music for the Jenga pulls was brilliant. It always seemed to creep up perfectly.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the masterful music editing: every pull had me on the edge of my seat that was so tense
Kudos to Luke for some genuinely chilling descriptions during the session!
That ending was great. Brad is eternal 😂
PS: A varsity jacket with a logo of Brad and his wolfs aka "The Brad pack" would be nice 🤔
I've been playing a lot of The Quarry so I'm getting big Supermassive vibes from this.
I thought the exact same thing! I was like: Does this feel a bit "The Quarry" or is it just me?" 😅
@@1breakerbox844 I was actually wondering if Luke expected them to leave Eric behind and do the "twist" of him being a werewolf with his shades showing up.
I actully thought killian was one since the dm kept mentioning how much stronger he was then people assumed
@@princeOpalite3650 That would've been a great twist!
Really hoping there’s a sequel to this where we get to see Greg as a pro athlete supported by his Wolfpack
o no! brad somehow convinced cillian that alphas are a thing and it replaced the actual facts of wolf pack dynamics he learned!
Well it rather depends on how you mean alpha wolf.
The look on Ellen's face during that bit 😂
@@coyoteartist I mean the framing was of a singular alpha existing and dominating the other wolves when the actual alphas are just the parents of the pack. If another wolf pack came in, they would simply kill off the other pack all the way to the pups.
@@travislyonsgary However by virtue of saying the parents are the alphas, you've still defined the pack as having an alpha. Now the one study I sawr referenced did say that in the case of say a new male coming in after the death of the previous male and mating with one of the previous female pups as well as the mother, then you have a situation where the daughter would be subservient to the mother but in charge with her own pups, thereby making it plausible to call the mother and her new mate the alphas.
@@coyoteartist The Druid pack had something like that yes. Usually jueveniles disperse to find their own mate and territory after spending a few years in their original pack helping to raise their siblings. The Druids had multiple mated pairs(which is genrrally a preferred term to alpha, since its more accurate) as they were as I recall over 32 wolves and the elk population was very high. They also occassionally went for bison. So you can have a lineage situation basically with a lot of communal raising of pups. Little is known about the situation though as those numbers require a lot of food and we as humans have kind of mitigatdd the ability for prey populations to get thag high usually.
The male you are referencing I believe was a dispersal wolf, who mated with two females in another pack. They do that sometimes and try to form a new one.
This was awesome, lots of good fun. Really appreciated the spooky, tense sounds.
What I did *not* expect was Luke simping over Killian and Mike becoming the ultimate Chad.
Absolute Chad Brad
Is anyone else curious on why Killian was so freakishly strong or is it just me?
All those encyclopedias
Between this and their previous party play of Werewolf, I wonder how the gang would do with a Werewolf: the Apocalypse game run by Andy or Jane. Maybe Ellen?
I'd so like to see Andy DM something, I think he'd be a natural at it just like Johnny and Luke.
@@jameslowenberg8275 I’m thinking we’ll see Vampire the Masquerade before that, also the new edition of Werewolf isn’t out till next year, and these guys tend to stay with current properties.
@@richardbrown3055 Jane would totally have to be the DM for Vampire the Masquerade. I personally would really like to see how Luke would run a whole season with teams on Gravity Rip.
Spoilers
I love that Brad was the only survivor even though the chat was adamant that Mike's character would definitely die
Of course Brad was going to be the final girl...
I immediately regret reading this.
@@ApesWithEgos Don't you mean Gregg?
The tension was incredible, and the irony of that ending was absolutely delicious. Thrilled with the new One-Shot Wonder series, looking forward to more!
Andy sets himself up as the competent expert.... which is one of the "will definitely die" character types in horror.
Flaregun shooting into a werewolfs mouth sounds a lot like The Fifth Elephant
Just out of curiosity, did you actually mean Fifth Elephant, or Fifth Element? There is a book called The Fifth Elephant, so I just wanted to be sure.
@@codmanout9861 the pratchett book. Vimes shoots a firework in the the villain werewolfs mouth and it explodes him
@@roryk101 Cool, thanks
One of the most well executed Oxventure videos yet! Undeniably tense
This was brilliant omg!! Killian absolutely cracked me up (so like me in highschool). He's reciting Howl at the great student union open mic night in the sky now... shine on, you crazy diamond!
Super excited for this whole new series, and especially for the sublime chaos that will surely result from having Liv Kennedy and Luke Westaway in the same room! Thanks for all the wonderful videos!
Brad staring down the camera less than 8 minutes in with a look that screamed “These f*****g nerds!” 😂
Brad? Do you mean Greg? ;)
Absolutely amazing. You guys are amazing roleplayers. Luke is such a good DM.
Edit: Just finished it. Brad is a true gigabrad.
You mean Greg?
Gregabrad
Kudos to whoever did the sound editing on this one.
That's a fun twist on skill checks- I can't wait for the regular D&D Oxventure to come back, but at the same time, looking forward to more One-Shot Wonders! Looks like you found a really interesting format with this one:)
This is the evolution of the channel i never expected, but fully wanted lol
gotta give props to the producer for the sound work, A+
I love Ellen's laughs beyond the grave. The death were so unexpected. Just wow. Excellent job, guys.
I warned yooouuu!
Unexpected deaths are most deaths in Dread.
Could you please transfer the Gravity Rip video to this channel? I'd love to see more Gravity Rip as well. Gotta know what Chase Racerson and T-RAY-C got up to after killing Chad Everglide
Right out of the gate the side eye is strong just for the characters introducing themselves XD
The editing on this video is **chef’s kiss**
I love the football-spinning bookend lmao, Mike is endlessly entertaining. Madison was pretty amazing, I love how Ellen clung to that hatchet lmao
you could say the odds were ''stacked'' against them...
I'll see myself out
I love Mike‘s dedication to the roleplay.
5:00 I like Ellen's face when Luke says " forest of the grand canyon"
Wow. That was good. Probably the most harrowing game of Jenga I've ever seen! Well done all!
Now I want a call back in Oxventure of Merilwen pulling out some blood-soaked jerky to perform an Animal Handling check!
This was brilliant! The last session of Dread that I saw was with Johnny Chiodini…that ended up being more comedy horror. Love the sound effects edited in-gruesome! 🎉
The tension had me sitting at the edge of my seat - especially in late game with so many pulls. The game is aptly named XD
So much fun to watch! Thanks, gang!
Glad you enjoyed!
This was nail-bitingly stressful till the very end! Including (spoilers!) Mike/Brad pulling a final jenga piece to see if he can spin a football at the end of it all lol. Well done everyone!
What is fantastic about you guys at oxbox and oxtra and now oxventure is you genuinely seem to be having a great time and all of you are splendid in your own unique ways. Truly a powerhouse crew where everyone is complimentary to everyone else. Thanks for all the years of service and hopefully many more years to come.
This was a really neat game, and I'd like to see it revisited with Jane and Johnny playing.
This was Awesome. Tense & nail biting, but undeniably awesome. 🎃
Brad makes me miss Barnaby.
Mike is amazingly accurate as Brad, which is great as I doubt that he has much experience playing American football.
i liked lukes DMing, i hope blades in the dark someday gets a podcast version of it, had to make a break from the oxventurers and i am so hyped to have a few "new" episodes for my morning commute to work
Spoiler
Cant believe we actually saw some character deaths this time. I can already tell these one-shots are going to be great, especially with fewer players so everyone has time to shine!
andy is my hero!!!
wish he went out swinging but being the only person trying to save another is just as good
I love that everyone keeps calling Brad "Gregg" 🤣🤣
This lived up to its title a lot more than I expected.
I love Mike's roleplay. He often plays such "jerks" and it is fun seeing him lean into it cracking himself up with how obnoxious his own antics are.
Andy, as always, is spot on. Playing Mike's foil and being annoyed by his antics.
I was a bit surprised that Ellen called the leadership role. Good for her. She usually lets Andy it whoever do that so that was nice to see. Plus her eye rolling at the beginning was adorable.
Anyway, I've basically just started watching this but i love seeing how you guys have branch out creating new characters playing different RPGs.
I forgot to mention Like. What can i say, he is just a really good DM rolling with the antics and creating his world for his players to explore.
Good luck with your future projects Luke. I do how you continue to drop by as a guest in future Oxventure antics.
I have to suspect that Brad's first words to his parents when he got home were: "AstroTurf IS grass!"
That was incredible I didn’t know how I would feel about it being Jenga based but there was some major tension during some of those pulls 🎃
This is the most intense game of Jenga I've ever witnessed
Who was in charge of the background sound? I swear it was getting me anxious when there was no actual consequences for me, and only elimination for Brad and a couple of nerds.
I suspect it was Luke. He said before he was very proud of this video, and I completely agree with him. This might be the best content across all three channels.
Totally saw the werewolf coming once I heard silver pendant.
Luke really said "YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US!" huh xD
Love this. I want another episode of this one. New characters, new scenario and new horror.
25:57 ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
Brilliant work all round, but especially on Luke's part. He's such a good GM. Great judgement, adaptability, storytelling, the whole nine yards. And he's so effortlessly charismatic.. The transition into Eric Mode was the icing on the cake,
I wanted Madison to be the final girl so bad but I also kinda had a feeling it wasn’t happening lol
Honestly the the fact that the "dumb jock" was the "final girl" is kinda ironicly fitting
This is the first time I have seen a TTJRPG.
Man this is such a throwback to my first TTRPG game, which was Dread. I ended up toppling the tower to save my friend's character, who was my character's twin sister. It was a lot of fun, a thunderstorm rolled over halfway through the night which really set the mood.
Great fun! It’s been wonderful seeing Luke getting better and better at GMing, and I can’t wait to see what indie RPG one-shot is next!
14:42 World record performed in the NFL is 76 yards thrown in 1993 during the Quarterback Challenge.
56:10 Irony here is that Andy's character knows "loads" about wolves, but Luke is an unreliable story teller and doesn't know "loads" about wolves himself. In the wild wolves don't have an alpha. The leader of a wolf pack is actually just the breeding pair, the rest of a wolf pack consist of off spring hence why the leaders are the breeding pair. When the offspring is ready to head off and create their own pack they do just that once they find a mate and entirely different wolf pack is formed with a new breeding pair.
It may have been a big win for the jock character
But your nerd audience knows that it was still a nerd player that actually won and a nerd GM that allowed it lol
Loved this! Didn't realize that Jenga could be so tense!
You clearly haven't played Jenga with really competitive family and friends.
Whenever anyone said rapids, all I could think about is rubber dinghy rapids from Four Lions. Great game.
