      Keep the DnD content coming! I was so sad when you said you were putting an end to it a while ago. Everything has been fresh, fun, and with the same fantastic people we all love. Keep it up Merchant!

      Brilliant. The combat had great flow & you gave real personality to even the lesser characters. Loved it. Hope you can be part of other campaigns too, definitely as a dm but also as a player.

      Great dm’ing, you even gave rules to the die game and you actually got the characters to play a round.
      Congratulations mate!

      @mallemout 3 года назад +3

      Very happy to see you DM-ing. That was a wonderfull first introduction to your DM-ing style and skills. Very much like how you use your voice. To quote a certain half-ogre "That was really good. That was fun. I like that. Merchant, you should hire him, for shows"

    I've never played DnD before, and had only heard about it. Since the start of the Icewind Dale campaign I've been getting into it, reading the lore and designing characters, and I've convinced my friends to start a campaign which has been so much fun. Thanks Merchant for properly introducing me to DnD :)

    Runaway Robot is bloody brilliant, he was a great choice. Hope he appears in future campaigns, either as a dm or player.

    Great intro to the campaign, stepping it up at the production level is fantastic. You can definitely see the DM behind Merchants playing style. Awesome DM, Hugo and Francis dynamic is very enjoyable, well rounded characters. A very promising campaign! Congrats!

  • @_claymore
    @_claymore 3 года назад +5

    I really liked the description Hugo gave to Vee about the drink, really nice scene :)
    great to see another dnd game! super cool dynamic now: one week we get freezing cold, the next we get blazing hot (well, at least later on, eh?)

  • @nikoboivin
    @nikoboivin 3 года назад +11

    As much as I love Merchant's DMing style, this is a really refreshing campaign and I think I will absolutely love to have them alternate. RunawayRobot's dming is super on point and I can't wait to see how the campaign turns out! Super good call on all the cast as usual!

    Hey! I’ve never played dnd before. I’m really into baldurs gate 3 and I’m invested in the lore and they keep referencing events from Avernus so I knew I had to check out what actually happened. This is the first ever dnd game I’m watching and I’m excited! 🎉

    Oh how the intro reminds me of the old Guildgates series. Crazy how that´s so long ago that it´s kind of nostalgic now.
    Very hyped for the new campaign.
    Edit: Also big staff energy from ThyrixSyx.

    @deathbare5306 3 года назад +3

    You all have some good chemistry, but man your campaign really needs a "kick the door down" character to balance the passive ones. All the characters feel like they want they want to curl up in a ball and hide.
