Matt: “We will find out next week”
Me: “No, I’ll find out in 2 minutes because I’m 115 episodes behind”
Ikr, we will catch up eventually lmao
it feels so hopeless but we're trying our best HAHAAHDKJ
I've been watching one or two a day, so I'm catching up. I hope your journey goes well comrade
I just started Sunday, and my ... GOD so many, but I'm obsessed. Just started my first ever DND campaign a month ago, having never done it before, and I've become obsessed, so now I'm going down every DND rabbit hole that exists. But I WILL catch up someday!
@@matt8627 first time DM? That's rough, same boat here. Can I offer you some tips? I know a few websites for a free virtual table top, mapmaking software, a site to generate statblocks and etc etc

Never underestimate the power of MEMES
Marisha is the queen of giving an in depth description of what she's doing and then rolling a sub 10.
Right? I don’t understand how the game culture is still stuck rolling after the description of anything. Resolve the whole thing first, then describe it. Tell your DM the goal you want, be told what roll you need, make all the rolls, and inform the RP with it.
Especially persuasive style checks. It’s so much fun to RP rolling a modified 0 or a nat 20.
“What brings you to town?”
*roll 1 on deception*
“DEFINITELY NOT HOOKERS SIR. NOR DRUGS. STRICTLY TRADE BUSINESS DEALS… INVESTMENT NEGOTIATIONS, NORMAL BUSINESS THINGS.”
Works for both rolls honestly.
Better than giving a full description a d then "nit doing any of that"
@@demonzabrak two reasons for that, one so you cant change it to something absolutely insane on a nat 20 because you already stated what you wanted, or on a nat 1 making it seem less important, perhaps first state what ypu want to the dm, then describe what happens after the roll
@@darkestrose9989 I am uncertain we’re on the same page, and I expect that’s my fault, “perhaps state what you want to the dm first” is literally what I said to do before rolling, which I also said should happen before describing the attempt. My example joke was unclear. I blame myself for wanting it to also be a joke.
Another example with less forced humor then.
Say Travis was playing an agile duelist, and wanted to use the environment to move through rough terrain. Instead of saying a long explanation of all the cool flips and slides and whatever he wants to do, he says “I want to use acrobatics to move through this terrain without it slowing me down.” Matt gives back a “DC 17 to succeed, DC 7 to not fall down” and once Travis rolls, he leans into the result for the RP.
It takes player buy-in to work, but if you’ve got it, I have more fun personally, and you might too. It’s also not what I see happening in most games.
That’s all I wanted to convey. If it seems less-fun for your table, don’t do it. Games should be fun, and I don’t see many other people talking about different things to try to have more fun.
She’s the queen of cringe lol
It's always Thursday when you're this far behind XD

I'm hoping Jester keeps swapping salt for sugar, to the point where every time they go to an inn they've been to before, someone has to roll to see which ingredient their food was made with.

@@bartholen I think that deep down, Sam and Scanlan are eerily similar.

I love this show
Tbh they're not having any more fun than I've usually had every time I've played RPGs . They only do their accents half the time . (...Which is pretty impressive !) But the key to a good game is a high quality DM who goes with the players when ever possible. (I think I've been lucky in my rpg'ing over the last 30 years or so, as I can only remember one really bad DM ) you know the sort ....they become the angry god DM and don't bother to use good storytelling to direct the players in the right direction when idiocy prevails .....or they refuse to follow carefully laid out plots.

So they had a bag of holding and bag of colding in the last campaign. So you could say that Jester has a bag of molding?
Somehow the pastries are always stale. It's a new magic item, a Bag of Day-olding.
Any baked good placed in the bag for more than five minutes becomes stale. After one day, the item will spout mold. If a moldy item is eaten, DC 5 CON save or become poisoned for 1 day.

Actually its better for you than gatoraide. It gives you back more electrolytes. Also it's delicious, if you can eat pickles why not drink the juice?
@@blunk778 I once chugged a jar of pickle juice.
Football players drink it before games because it helps with cramps and is high in electrolytes. I spent many year disgustingly drinking that stuff before games 🤢
I like to think that Matt practiced his gnoll sounds in a mirror for a week before this session, and he's so proud of his efforts that he uses his laughing sound at every opportunity to show it off.
Oh he definitely practiced. You don't get that good by not practicing.
The sad thing is, my laugh sounds exactly like that..

1:02:01 Caleb and Nott have some sweet deceptive synergy going... Note how Caleb quotes as paying "17 gold" and proceeds to count it out. Nott comes in and starts scouting the place; inquiring about the items in sight. Nott points out that Caleb drops a coin and he hands 16 gp to the shopkeeper, not realizing that he's just been shortchanged... Sneaky...
Did the same with the horse just about. hahaha
Christopher Lane certainly tried.
Holy shit I never noticed
I'm pretty sure they set these up between episodes, but they're great to watch.
Back in ep. 1, Nott suggests a number of scams to Caleb, including the "copper pot." Then in ep 2, they pull the copper pot scam on Jester, selling her a fake magic pot that's supposed to turn copper into gold, using his temporary transmuter ability to have done the reverse.
F1R3 BR47 Why’d he point out the dropped coin though?
Me: "Wow, I find it odd that the human-gnoll can mimic gnoll sounds so well!"
Meanwhile, Matt: *gnoll noises*
Rewatching C2 knowing all of the charcters’ backstories is amazing to see hidden references or behavior things you only notice looking back. Anyone else rewatching?
I finished the campaign and immediately went back to ep1 to rewatch...
They ask Molly sooooo Little questions, the otters always seem too distracted to notice matt and talisien hinting about his mysterious background.

Jesus Christ Travis is unleashed from the shackles of 6 int,, it's so wonderful seeing him plan and be all tactical and shit!
alfredisthename My husband and I have a theory that part of why he’s so amazing as Fjord is he was so bored with that 6 INT. Whatever the reason, totally agree. Loving him and all these new chars.
I think he had fun being smashy-smashy, but it IS maddening to play someone who can't relay the ideas you have as a player
Their first campaign originated as a one-shot, so Travis, having never played, wanted a simple class that was easy to play and didn't require much understanding of the game. If he had known what their game would become, he might have been more adventurous.
I think it's naive and/or projecting thinking that Travis did NOT have fun with Grog (but who knows, I haven't talked to the guy myself either) :) That being said I can totally see having more fun with a tactical character after having played a barbarian for so long ^^
Tho you gotta admit he's a mite squishier now than he was before...

After watching Travis be Grog for 115 episodes, I love seeing his intellect unleashed finally.
Also, they made a mistake sitting Laura and Sam next to each other.
I love them sitting together. I wonder the reasoning for the seating choices though.
The brilliant and beautiful kind of mistake.

"I've got a jar of ears, I've got a jar of ears" - Jester at some point, probably
This was my Lizardfolk carrying body parts in his pack going 'Heads, shoulders, knees and toes, I'VE GOT THOSE'
Ears, Ears, come and get your ears over here.
You need fingers? I've got you! How about them toes, eh? Freshly pickled and locally sourced toes
“And you’ll never guess what’s inside of it~”
“Is it ears?”
“Yes”
Take one down, pass it around, 98 jars of gnoll ears on the wall!
"well, my social anxiety is getting the best of me i'm taking a walk goodbye" thank you caleb, i feel so seen
The timing and recall of Sam to drop the "well, are we going to be a Fjord explorers or Fjord escapes?" I did a spit take of hot coffee. Lmao brilliant!
I always skip all of the breaks to save time, only to end up at the fan art and pause all the time to get a real look at those amazing drawings.

That is what I do...
Backstories aside (at this point), Caleb & Nott seem to have been the most honest about their immediate pasts i.e. they admitted to being sneak-thieves, liars, burglars & con artists.
Caleb's been pretty honest about the goblin thing hehe
@@cadence8977 *random citizen "Hmm, that little girl seems a bit odd."
*Caleb "SHES A GOBLIN!".
@@TheKingjames57 Exactly 🤣🤣
Honestly tho there’s really not that much going on with buea
Just thinking back, in a previous episode Beau obtained the new mission to aid the system in removing injustice. The first thing she does after? Buy drugs and commit mail fraud
Nobody changes overnight, lol.
Her mission is to find corruption in the system and what she did there will help with that in the future.
Man they have such a good time filming these.....
it's like their own little fjord fiesta
You got me, I expanded the comment for this 🤦♂️

@@soltrie9124 Thank you!
@@LouiseVangsted np!
@@soltrie9124 Thank you. I guessed it had something to do with Ford but I didn't know expedition was an actual Ford model.
Nott, "Are we fjord explores, or fjord escapes?"
Best line ever.
Inescapable replies. yay
for spells he needs to fjord focus
"Well I'll be part of the Fjord Expedition."
During combat he is an Fjord exploder.
And if he gets steak or called out on bs, it's Fjord Taurus.
watching The Mighty Nein for the first time and i’m unintentionally watching this one on its fifth anniversary
Nice I'm watching near 6th anniversery
"I would like to spend about 20 gold worth of incense. Do you have that much? I don't mean cheap shit."
"What kind of establishment do you take me for?"
"Well, it's a barn, ja?"
"Touché" 🤣
I love how Fjord instantly became the leader of the group.
Typical high charisma chars.... Why do i never have high charisma... :P
Even with him being a half orc with a phylactery inside of him which causes him to get weird powers and strange dreams he is somehow the most normal and kept together person in the group

Beau, to Molly as a joke: "Oh my god you killed your entire family!!!"
Caleb: O.o
Gentally sad Liam didn't have Caleb actually react to Beau's words. XD
If you watch closely you can see Sam's eyes dart towards Liam
It's just a saying.
I watched both Liam and Matt for a reaction there, and man, their poker faces are flawless. I couldn't spot any sort of clue from either of them! Sam, on the other hand... XD It's so subtle, but his tiny reaction there gives me life!
Verity58 This needs a spoiler warning
Vax: I walk away.
Caleb: I'm going on a walk goodbye
Who thought it was the best idea to send the drunk goblin into the scary cave? LMAO
“Well my social anxiety is getting the best of me, I’m going to take a walk, goodbye”
BIG MOOD CALEB
Massive mood
ALL THE MOOD!!!
The entire M O O D
A WHOLE ENTIRE GIGANTIC MOOD
@@StormageddonTMS the end all, be all, MOOD
If I had a dollar for every time Matt describes a jaw in a fight Id be a rich man :D
Also if you had a dollar every time he says ''kind of''
*_T o o t h y m a w_*
Or "they're kind of hard to read in general..." with a failed Insight check or "it doesn't seem to do as much damage as you'd expect." when they encounter something with damage reduction... Yeah, it's great. XD
That you would Sir, that you would.
honorable mention for "shoulder" and "form", too.
I love Matt using the title "Starosta". It is from Czech (or Slovak) language and means literally Mayor of a town :-) He even pronounces it correctly, except for a stress which is on the first syllable here in central Europe.
The same thing is with Vecna, it is also Czech word and means Eternal (feminine form). It fits very well :-) It is nice to hear them using Czech words.
We have the same word (Starosta) in polish since it is also a slavic language :)
@@SariinMade That is lovely to hear them use words from our languages, isn't it?
Sam “I’ll go on this Ford expedition”
Me who’s kept a straight face while listening to this at work until now: 💀
"What kind of an establishment do you take this for?"
"Well, its a barn, right?"
"Touché."
My favorite moment ever.
My favorite part is right after that when jester says, "I mean there are people getting chopped up and eaten but if you really want a cat..."to kaleb
Who else decided to catch up now during the Corona outbreak?
Enoro same
yup
Ditto
Yeah that sums it up
Yes
"Oh this hasn't happened as long as I've been here, and I've been here most of my life, here in Alfield."
I love the fact that Matt is giving rural towns folk different country accents, and Thaddeus is one of the best with his run on sentences.
God, I love this episode. The whole Alfield arc, five through eight is probably my favorite of the early campaign. Perfect mix of terror, badassery and absurd comedy-of-errors.
Sets a pattern for next 130 odd episodes
Killing baby manticores.

"I don't know how they found me. They were very clever. I was sneaking all the way down, and they still discovered me."
**giant log swings slowly from the ceiling**
"That was after they discovered me."
"I can look for traps too, but I don't know what they look like."
("What did the one look like that you got hit by before?")
"Big piece of rope, probably should've seen it."
**checking for traps**
"With disadvantage?"
("Because you're drunk.")
"Uh... so... 0. Wait, no, I did the math wrong, 10."
"Alright, so one path goes wiggity-woo, and the other one goes jhibbity-jhao."
"No traps. Oh, wait, no, yes, there were traps."
"Why would you have 1,000 ball bearings?"
"Oh, this is a Sneak Attack?"
"Does that expose me? Do I hide again? How do Rogues work?"
- The best party Rogue in history
Being a cute (ugly) little goblin makes up for all of it
I want to copy this and safe it forever.
I couldn't tell if he was actually drunk or just acting REALLY well...
I fucking lost it at the confident "no traps." after clearly finding a trap
Just ironing out the kinks! Just ironing out the kinks!!😁
I need more Thadeus in my life. I can't get over Matt's redneck voices
Beau: "Omg you killed your whole family"
Everyone except Caleb: *laughs or atleast smiles*

@@DimaJeydar Youre welcome, my comment didnt spoil anything, just pointed out an observation
@@gabrielarchangel2658 we’ll see
@@DimaJeydar also you really can't complain about spoilers on a 4 year video. Thats like getting upset by someone saying that they didnt think the explosion at the end of Predator holds up to today's standards of cgi and you getting mad because you haven't seen it. If its a 4 year old video read comments at your own risk.
@@ummmmmmwat427 I can, because I’m watching this in chronological order. It’s not a self-contained story so your analogy would rather sound like “someone complaining about explosion at the end while watching the movie with me”. People have to assume others in the comments haven’t seen future episodes yet. And the solution is easy: just mark the comment as a potential spoiler for the future, which many people do. Just not everyone.
The fact that Marisha wears her "sleaves are bullshit" tanktop while Matt has a long sleeved shirt on just kills me 😂
I like they were worried about Lara cussing in the beginning because of "the kids", but the shirt is fine. I assume the kids can't read.
and the fact she put a shirt with sleeves on later on in the episode
