HMMMMMMMM See how out of place the sketch felt when ONE chap is missing??
This is how a campaign feels when you are late/ or don’t show up. #twosketchesthatmakeyoufeelguilty
Could the actor not make it?
It's actually mindblowing how much that changed the dynamic.
Indubitably
Hello
My sincerest apologies for my tardiness and temporary lack of presence. I discovered the most delightful purveyor of pastries along the way, and I felt like it would be most forthcoming of me to purchase a few delectable delights for those who I've spent so long engaging in fantasy stories with. Would it be too forward of me as a player to request that the DM turn back the hands of time that were set into motion during my absence, in exchange for my offering of a few icing-covered circles of dough? Topped with a fair share of sprinkles, of course.
Can I just say respect for putting a spin on this gag that could easily get tired but making it different each time so it doesn't get old.
Indeed
Undoubtedly
@@0Arcoverde not to be a grammar nazi my dear chap but it seems the word you are trying to spell is indubitably. Good try nonetheless.
@@DragoonZell Not to further correct you, good sir, but I believe that they _did_ mean undoubtedly, which is still a word.
@@callmeobsequious Quite right good chap.
By episode 100, he’ll be closing the fabric of the universe instead of the handbooks
Hmmmm!!
This channel simply evolves the universe in ways we never imagined...
He‘s gonna close our handbooks
I like how it's 3 books.
Looking forward to him somehow making it 5+ books. :D
i see you everywhere. Why
He didn’t even bring food. It’s literally the one rule when late
Aint it another rule to not kill PCs when they're not there?
He brought beer. That counts, right?
@@pur3demon0wn he was late and didn’t call ahead. It’s free game there
He did bring beer/coffee/tea.
I don't really get this rule. You are running late so people expect you to make a detour and be even later?
"Chap number 2 state your counter argument!"
*absolute silence*
"Blimey, he makes a good point."
perfection
Reminds me of when Ferb and Perry went to debate camp.
@@benlyon5118 or the penny singing in Spongebob.
*silence*
Patrick: That penny has the loveliest singing voice.
In one of the campaigns I’m in, when someone is absent we use the excuse that my wild magic bard sneezed (or something of the sort) and they get transported to some random plane of existence. This has resulted in lore progression, awe, and tremendous amounts of traumatic experiences.
Honestly one of the better ways to explain a players absence that I've seen
@@quendi5557 and the clever thing is, our dm found a way for it to make sense other than “haha wild magic go brrr”
@@lime_forrest1451 nice
@A random person Who is random essentially yes
Oh I am absolutely using that with my group from now on. I was getting really tired of coming up with new ways for characters to get knocked out or captured after scouting on their own. One of my player's character's soul is currently corrupted by wild magic from the Astral Plane, and that wild magic is effecting everyone else's characters when they are near him so the way this would perfectly fit into my story is just *chef's kiss*
You are a life saver!
"Enters a bonkers" is the only acceptable way to rage anymore.
🤣
"May I bonkers, my dear man?" "You certainly may, good lad."
I'm curious, what do Americans think "bonkers" means...? 🤔
Give me a barbarian with a monocle and JUST bow ties going "it seems i am entering a bonker" or something of that sort
@@yuki97kira Okay, I'm *_really_* going to need an answer on what American's think "bonkers" means now. Because *_"Going_* bonkers" means "Going crazy" (i.e. Raging). However, "bonk" is also a verb that means "having sex", so "a bonker" is someone who is "having sex", hence what you've just written means: "It seems I am entering a person who is currently having sex." 🤣
"What did I miss?"
"You died!"
"What?"
Gut hurts. Send help.
Sadly this has happened a lot in my games. As a DM I try to start a bit late so everyone's present when we start, but often the players say "I can control his/her character meanwhile", at the point we even have a "babysitting company" where players assign their characters to the most responsible character/the one they trust the most/Know the character very well (I must clarify I've been running a campaign with 10 players from level 1 to 20 since December of 2020), signing up that if they die it's not his/her fault, and they leave instructions for some specific cases~
bro that sounds like absolute hell, how on earth can you withstand 10 separate turns in combat (without even counting enemy turns)
@@mail9897 its very simple. Only 4 actually show up.
Yeah that is completely how it should be done. Ironically dropping characters out somehow works I have seen, but it still disturbs some Immersion and Realism aspect of me deep down in my soul...
@@mail9897 If players are actually held responsible for the time spent durring the game, a turn should never last longer than a minute or two, and you can enforce that as a DM if combat starts taking too long. (and unless a combat is threatening or worse, it should likely not take more than 2-3 rounds)

I love these chaps
Kinda wanna see what happens when the chaps have irl grudges
Dm : you are deceased
Chap 1 : rightfully so
Chap 2 : why?
Chap 1: bcs i burnt your biscuits
Chap 2 : you are a disgrace
As an Englishman I can confirm that this is indeed how we play D&D. Alright chaps, carry on.
Fastest click in the west.
Not even close.
LMAO the triple book close. Well done, good show
Rewound just to see it again
0:53
Was a little worried that player two wasn't even going to make it at all but I'm glad they got him up to speed.
For my campaign, we either start with someone else first for their little role play moment, and if the player has arrived then we can move on as usual. If we can’t have that happen, our DM uses the very helpful “Missing Character” table (not entirely sure what it’s called, but it exists).
Our half-orc barbarian/monk was found by a band of children and was forced to entertain them or be poked by very sharp sticks until we found him and rescued him.
You know it's going to be amazing if he starts with the chaps
0:37 the casual dice drop here is amazing!
OK, there have been enough of these that I officially declare that the chaps need their own playlist
I've had this happen to me once and luckily I gained consciousness so I was still in the campaign😁❤
What exactly hapend it ?
Can you maybe tell to us ?
@@user-fp8ux9uj1m Yeah of course!!😃
So basically I was around an hour or 2 late and of course the weirdest guy in the group asked if he could play for my character the DM agreed and...he did exactly what the video had said so I rolled for death saves and somehow I rolled a lucky 20 and was never late to another session again😁
I caught myself filling the HMmm for the late chap. Quite amusing!
The complete and utter disregard for that die roll was the cherry on top.
We’ve had several characters miss sessions in our campaign. But we each had a “default combo” to use even if we didn’t have their character sheet.
So far, we had to use:
Warlock: Hex Eldritch Blast, while flying on his broom.
Paladin: “War Hammah!” Smite if it hits.
Monk: Activate Jump item, leap 15’ into the air, grapple and stun whatever he lands on/drags down.
Mine (never used) was “Zephyr Strike Booming Blade, with my Tressym Kitten using the Help action on me for Sneak Attack damage.”
What kind of multi class monstrosity were you?
@@devinbuettgenbach2941 Rogue-Ranger. Arcane Trickster-Horizon Walker. Ranger gives Zephyr Strike and Planar Warrior, Rogue gives Booming Blade and Find Familiar.
End game is 12 levels Ranger, 8 Rogue. He also has Steady Aim for when he’s low on HP and flees to the back of the party.
Glad to hear that Ranger multiclass is a “Monstrosity” though! They never get recognition or fear…
My gosh...You were a multiclass monstrosity, and I laugh at the Monk Jump Item and then grapple stun what he happens to land on...LOL.
@@mitchellslate1249 And said Monk… is a Dwarf. Able to grapple enemies 15’ in the air. He hasn’t used his 15’ reach tattoo yet either, so he can technically grapple enemies flying 30’ above him.
Also, no love or recognition yet for a Tabby Tressym Kitten?
@@mitchellslate1249 Said Dwarf is now titled The Dragon Piledriver.
Imagine this:
_The DM’s Plan: Once the Dragon is bloodied, it will flee._
_What actually happened…_
The arena in the city is evacuated, to trap an Adult White Dragon under Wall of Force. Roars can be heard from within, and a couple icy breaths creep over the edges of the stands. Suddenly, the Dragon is loose, bloodied, and flying low towards the horizon. Hot on its trail, a Dwarf leaps off the top of the arena, 15’ into the air, stretches his hands (Eldritch Claw Tattoo), and slings himself onto the dragon’s neck with a drop kick. With a sudden cry, the dragon’s eyes start to fade, and it falls, head first, the Dwarf upright due to how he grappled, into the ground in front of the arena.
Had a session where the dm himself was late
Luckily another player was an experienced dm so we played a one-off instead. The dm later turned up (he had overslept) and played along
As one that hails from the land called England, I must say this is a most excellent portrayal of both the dry, humourless nature of British "humour" and the complete lack of empathy we feel towards anyone who isn't directly in front of our face. Good show, my dear fellow. I bid you good day.
When one party member of my campaign is late, we just say that they are not present for the session for a reason, one example is that, the character of the player who was late was so excited to get into combat that he accidentally cartwheeled into a tree and went unconscious for the combat
Lol. I was sincerely hoping the "Hmmmm"s would cut to the empty chair! Glad you didn't disappoint!
I was that late player...
And I come back to my characters best friend's funeral
**Shows up.**
Sorry I'm late, line was longer than I expected. *Pulls out food for the group and the DM*
So did I miss anything?
Your died
@@AntonsVoice oh, **Pulls out character sheet** dang guess I won't bring food again then.
the "what" is so real though 😂😭
Man I would love to play a game with the chaps. They're amazing.
While they're fun to watch, they certainly don't seem fun to play with.
The campaign I DM only has three players, so if one is missing it’s a pretty big deal! The one I get to play in has five, and we all have another character that is close enough personality wise that we can trust with our character if we’re gone/late. If combat breaks out that same person has played your class before (usually) and takes care of basic combat.
Well, Silence is Gold they say, like the Golden Dragon who didn´t say anything.
Chap 2: blasts I forgot the food
Chap 1 and DM: you are about to be deceased then.
I love your jokes. They are so cleverly funny.
And despite them having certain gags, they don't feel repetetive.
I've had something very similar to this happen. Team went down a waterfall on a raft and hit a magic circle which was fine except the wizard who's race tag read "Abberant". He went splat. Player gets there asked what he's missed and gets told his character went splat and died before being brung back
I just love that chap 2 comes back just in the end of the hmmm session, just when i truly thought he wouldn't be in the video.
Incredibly deceased is my new way of explaining death at the table
That _"What"_ at the end was so perfect
Me as a DM: oh man you missed the treasure room. Everyone already chose one treasure, you luckily got the last one, it's an amulet of protection from bees.
Hello bees 😁
Hello, dark bees, my old friend...
The Chaps is my favorite D&D skit ever and if my character dies in my current game I'm gonna make the chaps as a character and play that
The fact that the "what?" didn't seem to have the accent is the best omg
Number Two would have been there if the DM did a session recap 😔
Ah but doing that would of taken one minute and two seconds! Which the chaps would have to experience a TPK once again.
Hmmmm
@@OneShotQuesters hmmmm this is true. These lads will have to figure out a better system 🧐
@@alexapinter8714 mmmm quite
I dare say you chaps are indubitably the best and this sketch was brilliant. Cheers.
By episode 100, he'll be folding the fabric of the whole universe close instead of the handbooks.
I never get tired of the chaps, please make these videos more often
"What did I miss?"
"You died."
That escalated quickly. Lol
Keeping an identical editing structure was brilliant. The silence made the recurring bit funnier, and this one always has me wheezing anyway!
Another very amusing Chap-ter of this series. I love your sketches dude!
Bro so late he missed his own funeral🤣
THERE BACK, I love how there names are chap number 2 and number 1. Love
Idk how, but duke makes the best "im dying on the inside" faces omg
I am the player who’s late.I’ve come back to my party having me married to a grunt bard named Kermit the frog who always sang Rainbow connection
Damn, that end got me to laugh
0:53
Good show! Jolly good show!
Learn from the example of Mark the Red, last of the Blood-Fire Berzerkers:
DM:- Ohh right...He is there.
Skit: HMMMMMM HMMMMM .... HMMMMM
Me: Fails fortitude save and dies from Laughter Damage
That last “what?” was too real, I felt it in my DM bones
Every time the chaps says “what”, I always chuckle
"Incredibly deceased" I can't wait to use that term in my campaign.
Time to bring snacks! They can't be mad if food is involved.
This is why whenever I DM I have this wizard who crossover into rogue who follows the party and whenever someone cannot make it but many others can those who didn't to come to the session there her characters got sent to another dimension temporarily.
YES! I was waiting for the HMMM part at the end and it was everything I hoped for
I love the triple book closing
Kinda wanna see the continuation of this skit... A retribution.
As the guy who was always first to arrive, I can say that this is extremely accurate.
Closing the three books got me. :D
The "what" was so unlike them. I'd think that he would just "mmmm" again but he didn't. It killed me
The look on Chap 2's face at the end is perfect.
0:54 when you come across three separate people on the road that don't know how to drive
This series of sketches is so silly in the best way.
"You died."
"What."
Damn near choked on my pumpkin pie.
One of my DMs runs it this way: when someone isn't present (whether late or couldn't make it), he treats it as if they were never there at all. And when they get back/next session, it's as if they had been there the entire time, and were never gone at all.
Number 2 is alway with you
I swear I missed only one session, but my character suddenly had wings when I came back.
Sounds like a story!
The way he says "DICEASED" is increadibly amusing.
Had to rewatch the book close multiple times. So good! In our campaign, we stuff the missing players into wine barrels. We’ve even sold the tiefling and half-elf wine
i like how he just dropped the fancy stuff we just got a simple "what"
The 3 chaps such a great skit. Keepem coming
The "What?" at the end was perfect.
Oh god, the triple book closing.
The Chaps are the best thing of this channel. And this channel has lots of good things.
I like how Chap Number 2 doesn't even bother to complain or something, he just goes "What?" As the episode ends, lmao
Once a member of my party was late (and didn't bring food btw). In the end, he had to bring the rest of the group out of prison and get us a good lawyer to proof that an invisible spell from a witch actually stabbed the leader, who was at the time in the same room with all of us, expect of the one who was late (in the campaign he was sick and in his room and didn't even know what happend or where we were)
The tri-book closing was a nice touch
Ever since I saw the empty chair for the first time I was looking forward to the "Hmmm" "Hmmmm" "silent empty chair" part :D
that "you died" was strong enough for Chap 2 to break his accent
I can't stop giggling at the "Hmmm" "HMMM" *silence* "HMM" "HMM!!!" *SILENCE BUT FASTER*
If you're gonna show up late, at least bring food for everybody
I love how the "What?" at the end drops the accent.
“Apologies for my absence, what did I miss?”
“You died!”
“Say sike right now.”
Hahaha you made my day! Happy Thanksgiving!
The editing/timing is so good on this lmao
I had to see that closing of the handbooks at least five times.
Hahaha! I never get tired of the HMMMMMM!-ers!
”Sorry for being late, what did i miss”
”You died”
”WHAT?!”
These are my favorite characters you do. So funny.
me: what did i miss
DM: you got kidnapped by a demi-god
"you died!" "what." will never not be hilarious to me.
"The dragon didnt fancy that."
"Sounds dodgy."😅
That triple book close was absolutely glorious
