When Luke said he didnt have much Schooling and Andy started, "There's a train travelling from the east coast..." I seriously thought he was going to give a maths problem.
The train left at 8:00 AM and is traveling at 200mph it reached it's destination at 1:00 PM. How many passengers were on the train? Delacey: 'visible confusion'
yep great cast, good story : and as a fashion aside : Jane's waistcoast is utterly awesome, Also love that these are the most amateurish trainrobbers ever - they are not even hiding their faces^^
"I don't have much...schoolin'" "It's more of what you call a practical test, son." "...oh." "There's a train...it's travelling from the East coast out to the West coast.... at 45 miles per hour, with another train leaving New Orleans heading west-northwest at 22 miles per hour..."

@@colinspeirs Well kinda. Deadlands Classic is like the grand pappy of Savage Worlds. Pinnacle Entertainment Group simplified the DLC ruleset for their miniatures skirmish game The Great Rail Wars, which also used the Deadlands Weird West setting, and then they realized that that would also make a great RPG ruleset, so they released Savage Worlds in 2003, which already was a universal rpg system. They also released a sort of conversion guide for Deadlands with Savage Worlds. Then there were a lot of other Savage Worlds editions since then, and a couple of editions for Deadlands for Savage Worlds, and other Deadlands settings and even more stuff. SW is definitely my favorite RPG system, and it has been like that for almost two decades now. :D
Andy telling Luke he'll be shooting at a penalty, only for Luke to immediately respond "will I though?", was just Andy and uncanny dodge all over again. Pretty sure the similarity struck Johnny given they started cackling afterwards
@@dallydaydream Wonder if Egbert’s cow god not sure how to correctly spell his name is omniscient enough to give him a bit of deserved Karma in a universe completely separate from Geth 😅
I wish he’d have been slightly tougher on Mike with his back-to-back snake-eye rolls though. Mike got off easy for a double crit fail. I can see how, as a new GM, Andy might not have been prepared to let them fail, but I think it would’ve been quite funny for the first job to be an absolute blunder and they have to try again to earn the quest giver’s trust.

I love Luke's violence. Everybody always talks about Ellen and her war crimes as Merilwen, but nobody ever talks about Luke and his famous lack of mercy as Mario Maker Link.
Loved the Buster Scuggs reference with Arlo. It's fun how Mike is playing more or less the opposite of his usual shenangians-heavy character by playing an overly serious fellow this time. Meanwhile, Luke's also going opposite by playing a teenage Joe Pesci.
@@TheRealCodeBlack Well Edie can't exactly cast animal friendship. Befriending all animals becomes quite a lot easier when you can cheat! lol (Also, I don't think sasquatches in D&D would count as animals either)
@@mar_speedmanYeti, the closest thing to a Bigfoot in the D&D 5e Monster Manual, are technically Monstrosities, and are described living like gorillas. They’re able to speak - most don’t know languages because their local dialects of Yeti - and usually chill out in the mountains hunting goats and deer and the like. In hard times whey will raid farms or towns for meat, since they’re obligate carnivores. Ape, in the animals section, could fit better, at least with a more chill Bigfoot. It’s meant to fit in for most non-human great apes like chimps, orangutans, or gorillas, so a grounded Bigfoot isn’t out of the question.
So are we thinking Delacy has a tragic backstory where his parents were murdered and he had to set out on his own? Or... a terrifying backstory where he actually murdered his parents and is now on a long term rampage?
@@IndianaMiller82Think it likely originally actually came from when Andy and Luke talked about DCOM First Kid and got to the bit where main agent Sam goes to a bar instead of staying at the White House and imagined what was happening because of Sleepy Joe whose too old to still be part of the service but still hasn’t retired 😂🤣😂🤣
Yeah colt gets all the press but the Remington was in some ways better. Easier to swap cylinders for fast reload and a bit stronger. Cylinder swap was more inportant in the cap and ball days where it took a lot longer to reload.
these accents, of varying quality, all mean the world to me, and I will be devastated if anyone started feeling sheepish at some point during filming and pulled back
Although if Luke needs his character to have his voice break, I wouldn't mind... ...Not because I'm not loving the voice, but because I'm kind of worried about his throat while listening to it.
Come to think of it, is this the first time Ellen's played a character in a campaign that doesn't mechanically reserve a subset of NPCs for her to interact with if she wants to? (Speak with animals/plants in D&D, Ghost Whisper stuff in Blades) Meanwhile, after playing a strictly fisticuffs character, Jane's back on the bargaining with spirits for power wagon - Only seemingly it's got more mechanical representation here than it does in D&D, Mike continues to play characters completely distinct from every character he's played before, Johnny continues to play old characters and Luke... Apparently enjoyed playing - and voicing - murderous orphans in Blades as NPCs so much he based his Deadlands character on them.
I got so very nostalgic when Garnet revealed her powers for the first time to blow up the enemy, reminiscent of Prudence showing off Eldritch Blast all the way back in the very first session. Jane's characters have a tendency to make quite a splash in their introductory episodes lol.
Finally got time to watch the video with a nice glass of bourbon 🥃 Silas and Delacy's dynamic is immediately adorable. Kudos to Mike, what a range of characters!
I went low-key insane when i heard the music when they got back from the break; immediately recognised it from the waiting screens from Morgan Mondays, what a throwback.
Agree she hit the ball out of the park again. But you do realise Edie is brand new compared to Lilith and especially Merilwen so it should be too early really to say wether she’s better than either
Agreed. Ellen is usually my least favourite. She makes interesting enough characters but I think she struggles more than the others with being put on the spot. She went all in here though.
Mike always makes such excellent characters. Simple premise with a small twist (in this case fear of horses) allows for endless growth. It's very entertaining.
Sounds like Victoria should put her efforts into seeking a land trust - with the help of Joey Lawrence! Seriously though, great start to yet another amazing Oxventure series. Andy you're already killing it, along with everyone else in front of and behind the cameras. Can't wait to get my deck of Oxventure cards, if only for the case that describes clubs as "the other one"
I don't follow many live play series, but after that, this may be the first one I stick around for. Not bad at all for a random youtube recommendation! The fact that I'm a deadlands fan from way back really helps. Great job!
I’m looking forward to this. Andy is such a blast as Corazon, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he does on the other side of the screen. I set my notifications for this 😃.
Long time follower here. I love Oxventure DND and Blades in the Dark. But this was absolutely amazing. Andy did a helluva job gming. And you could tell everyone enjoyed themselves. I cant wait to watch all of these episodes as well. Keep up the good content, everyone!!!
"This video is sponsored by these dice covered in lots of crazy steampunk junk" Every player: *squints intensely at the dice every time they roll, trying to work out what number they got*
The Oxventure crew is spectacular, but Johnny is particularly delightful. It's always so clear how excited they are for everyone to have fun and feel awesome
I love Jane's characters. they're so good in a way that's simple, but you can tell Jane has thought has thought about them as a character alot by how she performs them
@@fwbean119 I was just confused why she went straight for the deal, instead of using her normal PPs... I've already seen a huckster die due to lost deal he did not had to take. Also, I love how no one bat an eye on the sight of obvious magic in a world that should have no magic at all.
Great first episode, love the characters so far, especially Luke and Johnny's. Ellen's accent is also cool, and definitely fits her persona. Looking forward to seeing each character get more screen time in the future episode(s). Good luck and great work Andy for DM/Sheriff role on this.
This. Is. GREAT!!!! What a fantastic first episode- nearly 3 hours and it just flew by. Also, the chat was on point today with some really great puns- hats of to everyone. Looking forward to next week!
I'm glad that Andy stood his ground when Ellen tried to persuade the guard, even if Ellen looked annoyed by it. My biggest issue with the DND campaign at this point is that there's nothing to stand in their way from solving everything in nonsense ways. It's fun sure, but there's got to be some seriousness and feeling of danger to keep it together. There's not a chance that you'd even get the opportunity to persuade a guard of this nature, they wouldn't even hear it.
I knew I would be anyway, but I am HOOKED already. Absolutely fantastic work from everyone, and Andy is absolutely crushing it! Can't wait to see where this all takes us, pardners!
I'm not a fan of the western genre so I came here to see the Ox Gang but didn't expect to enjoy the gameplay itself. I should have known better. The game itself seems fun, and the players are having such genuine joy roleplaying these characters. And I'm loving the accents. Can't wait to catch up on the rest of the series.
Did you see the one shot they did for Cyberpunk? It was GM'd by Mike with Jane, Andy, and Aoife (from Eurogamer) as players. It was good! I'd love to see the play a full season for Cybperunk or a game like Call of Cthulu though!
Love the detail of Nate having sleep apnea, so they're in the carriage like "...is he dead" 😂 As someone with sleep apnea and who has a lot of family with it, this is hilarious to me
So excited to see Andy in his element! Can't wait to see all the wild west shenanigans from the crew. Genuinely so hyped, I've cancelled all my Friday evenings for the next six weeks.
Loving this so far, the characters and accents are all great! I particularly love Johnny almost immediately settling on Benoit Blanc, but I should have expected that after their Weird West stream 😂
Just wow. What an amazing story, what amazing characters and what an incredible group of people. Seriously, every story you start shows how much you grow and learn and how much each member compliments the other members' playing style. I laughed so hard when Delacey shot that dude in the knee ... didn't really see that coming. Pure gold.
Love how Mike makes characters. Paladin with negative wisdom, cowboy with a fear of horses 😂.
Mike does hate on the horses, canonically.

Hopefully DeLacy gets a throat lozenge at some point in the campaign
Right after he started speaking I was like, oh he's committing to THAT voice? Well that's going to be a problem by the end of the episode lol.
I'm hoping beyond hope that there's a reveal that Delacey is putting on that voice to seem more intimidating or mature or something.
My guess is someone tried to hang him, but it didn't take.
At least with Delacy being 13 Luke has an out if it gets too much - 'his voice broke'

@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor I thought I added him... my brain does not work sometimes. Will now edit. Thank you
Sounds like Victoria should put her efforts into seeking a land trust - with the help of Joey Lawrence!
Seriously though, great start to yet another amazing Oxventure series. Andy you're already killing it, along with everyone else in front of and behind the cameras. Can't wait to get my deck of Oxventure cards, if only for the case that describes clubs as "the other one"
I don't follow many live play series, but after that, this may be the first one I stick around for. Not bad at all for a random youtube recommendation! The fact that I'm a deadlands fan from way back really helps. Great job!
I'm really looking forward to 3 hours of whatever this turns out to be!
basically poker.
Andy is an absolutely incredible marshal
Having a lot of fun watching andy getting his chance at supernatural red dead redemption 😉
Alternative name for this episode: "Only Fools & Horses"
I’m looking forward to this. Andy is such a blast as Corazon, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he does on the other side of the screen. I set my notifications for this 😃.
Long time follower here. I love Oxventure DND and Blades in the Dark. But this was absolutely amazing. Andy did a helluva job gming. And you could tell everyone enjoyed themselves. I cant wait to watch all of these episodes as well. Keep up the good content, everyone!!!
"This video is sponsored by these dice covered in lots of crazy steampunk junk"
Every player: *squints intensely at the dice every time they roll, trying to work out what number they got*
The Oxventure crew is spectacular, but Johnny is particularly delightful. It's always so clear how excited they are for everyone to have fun and feel awesome
I played SO MUCH Deadlands when I was in high school. It makes me so happy to see you all pick it up.
I love Jane's characters. they're so good in a way that's simple, but you can tell Jane has thought has thought about them as a character alot by how she performs them
I love how Johnny‘s voice sounds like Tom Hardy’s Bane when they’re pretending they’re chewing tobacco
The frog detective
My sleep deprived brain read this and went "wait, nonbinary Bane? I don't remember Tom Hardy's Bane ever pretending to chew tobacco either!"
Love that when there is anything magic Janes brain automatically translates it to "Demons"
To be fair, that is pretty much what the Huckster's whole deal is
@@caseybaker7935 I see why she picked it then. Girls a walking oujia board.
Almost all magic in Deadlands is influenced by demonic/hellish powers. So it's a good take on the subject.
Yeah, her brain was absolutely right in this. Hucksters face a demon, or manitou, in a battle of wits for their power.
@@fwbean119 I was just confused why she went straight for the deal, instead of using her normal PPs... I've already seen a huckster die due to lost deal he did not had to take. Also, I love how no one bat an eye on the sight of obvious magic in a world that should have no magic at all.
Cannot Wait to find out that Silas is skilled at riding and horse rearing and easily becomes a horse whisperer
I absolutely wouldn't be surprised to find out that Mike sunk points into horse skills *because* of Silas' fear of horses.
Why does this feel so aggresively on brand for Mike 😆
The music sting picking up as Delacey takes the reins was just [chefs kiss]. Love that sh*t
1:03:31
I am in love with Ellen’s character and accent. Looking forward to more of this!
Putting Mike in charge of the stealth mission ended EXACTLY as I expected it to.
Great first episode, love the characters so far, especially Luke and Johnny's. Ellen's accent is also cool, and definitely fits her persona. Looking forward to seeing each character get more screen time in the future episode(s).
Good luck and great work Andy for DM/Sheriff role on this.
I actually write for the company that makes these books. Ive been wanting y'all to do Deadlands for some time! I'm so glad to see it!
I feel like there needs to be some more appreciation for Andy's [redacted] growl sound effect. Well done, sir.
This. Is. GREAT!!!! What a fantastic first episode- nearly 3 hours and it just flew by. Also, the chat was on point today with some really great puns- hats of to everyone. Looking forward to next week!
Luke's kneecap twist was AMAZING
As someone who grew up watching old westerns with my dad and pawpaw this is everything to me! Can’t wait to see the rest!
I'm glad that Andy stood his ground when Ellen tried to persuade the guard, even if Ellen looked annoyed by it. My biggest issue with the DND campaign at this point is that there's nothing to stand in their way from solving everything in nonsense ways. It's fun sure, but there's got to be some seriousness and feeling of danger to keep it together. There's not a chance that you'd even get the opportunity to persuade a guard of this nature, they wouldn't even hear it.
Oh man I can already tell Luke and Johnny's characters will be my favorite! Great storying telling by Andy!
I knew I would be anyway, but I am HOOKED already. Absolutely fantastic work from everyone, and Andy is absolutely crushing it! Can't wait to see where this all takes us, pardners!
I'm not a fan of the western genre so I came here to see the Ox Gang but didn't expect to enjoy the gameplay itself. I should have known better. The game itself seems fun, and the players are having such genuine joy roleplaying these characters. And I'm loving the accents. Can't wait to catch up on the rest of the series.
You guys are getting more comfortable with character acting. It's a lot of fun to watch.
First time seeing Andy GM. This is amazing. So proud
Silas was really channelling Egbert during those snake eyes rolls 😂
Coming back to rewatch this again and I reeeeeally want Oxventure to tackle Cyberpunk or Call of Cthulhu
Did you see the one shot they did for Cyberpunk? It was GM'd by Mike with Jane, Andy, and Aoife (from Eurogamer) as players. It was good!
I'd love to see the play a full season for Cybperunk or a game like Call of Cthulu though!
It's great to see Johnny getting to relax and enjoy the shenanigans!
They deserve the break with what they’ve had to put up with for 6 years as the usual DM for Oxventure
Love the detail of Nate having sleep apnea, so they're in the carriage like "...is he dead" 😂
As someone with sleep apnea and who has a lot of family with it, this is hilarious to me
The acting in this episode has been amazing, congratulations everyone!
2:00:36 "I will handle this with subtlety and tact." - Mike "Explosions" Channell
"ᵒʰ ᵇᵒʸ" - Jane.
A great first episode. An amazing cast of characters and Andy fits the GM seat perfectly.
Saddle up folks, time for some chaos in the wierd west.
AND THEY'VE CHANGED THE CHANNEL BANNER AND ICON TO MATCH OH MY GOOOD
Silas and Delacy are the best characters so far, just for the chaos ^^
And good work on the costumes, especially the ones for Mike, Jane and Ellen
Andy absolutely killed it as GM!! His world felt so real, authentic, and immersive.
Edie reframing “Pretending” and “Lying” as “Acting” in Delacy’s mind, sparking a love for the theatre and The Arts in general
So excited to see Andy in his element! Can't wait to see all the wild west shenanigans from the crew. Genuinely so hyped, I've cancelled all my Friday evenings for the next six weeks.
27:30 - "Ma'am im starting to share your concern" LOL. Love his character so much hahahaha.
Loving this so far, the characters and accents are all great! I particularly love Johnny almost immediately settling on Benoit Blanc, but I should have expected that after their Weird West stream 😂
Just wow. What an amazing story, what amazing characters and what an incredible group of people. Seriously, every story you start shows how much you grow and learn and how much each member compliments the other members' playing style. I laughed so hard when Delacey shot that dude in the knee ... didn't really see that coming. Pure gold.
I’m predicting at some point we are going to have John Marston NPC from Andy. ❤
GM Andy is what I’m here for
Definitely Marston and an Arthur Morgan npc.
andy's style of facial hair makes me believe he has a plan
