Was not prepared for that D&D Beyond ad. Legit took me a full minute to recover when they went into full advert mode.
Everyone needs a paycheck. I honestly laughed when they went into ad mode because I thought it was a new intro at first and it caught me off guard. Good on them for making a decent, funny ad, got my attention.
@@Tomoose736 I was mid-way through skyrim when I put this on to listen to and I legitimately paused the game to watch the advert
It was genius
So good
"STARBANE COMES ABOARD THE SHIP AND WE HAVE A FIVE COURSE MEAL WHAT DO YOU COOK HIM????" Might be my favourite quote so far
Honestly, this was one of my favourite episodes of high rollers. I felt like this was the episode which made it clear that the sandbox element Mark has talked about in the past is a legit factor. When they were making the ship and meeting the crew, when they did the timeskip with downtime activities, and in the characters listing everything they could possibly do, which is a lot.
One other episode which had a similar feeling, at least for me, was the spell clash episode. I though that was really fun and really cool, and it felt like Aerois was a proper, breathing, living world.
Mark is briliant, his players are briliant, and I honestly hope we see more these proper downtime and sandbox elements again in the future.
2:23:56 is the first collective High Rollers breakdown. You’re welcome in advance.
that was great live
I had so much trouble keeping it together
this episode was amazingly hilarios and that ending just perfected it. i love this episode
I laughed so hard it hurt.
@@rackaloss Same. And MAN did it feel so good!

Any moments I missed? Comment them here!
Alex I just want you to know that you are doing gods work and it is greatly appreciated.
Nova: "What day is it?"
GM: "The days don't have names, they're numbered."
Quill: "It's Three."
It was in fact 6.
The ship is amazing AND is a tribute to NIGHTFROST in a way, this is a very good episode
I agree
I audibly gasped at Lucius making sure to honor his little shady friend... Thank you. I still miss him. I also live for actual roleplaying, so this was a DELIGHT. Smeek is still best boy.
I love Trott's strait face. He's used to watching everyone break down around him.
If only Torman could have survived his introduction. He would have made a fine crew member.
I was having a crapy day but Mark's little mental breakdown over grammar at the 2 hr and 20 min point made it so much better. Thank you Mark.
Kind of felt bad for him. His players are heartless.
Start: 6:15
Break end: 1:40:30
Overwhelming gratitude
Thank you kind person
You are a legend
Cheers
it is very appropriate for Lucius to grow from his tragic experiences. Well done Trott.
I love when mark is RPing the cook and she says "officers ought to be eatin' first", the party didn't get it, but southern American in me totally got it right away. Great DMing tbh
Been binge watching this for a month now, love y'all's stuff. Working on catching up :3
1:19:30 - My players owned an airship once. They decided that any prisoners would be tied up securely and hung over the side, so if they managed to get loose they'd just fall to their death. They were not a very Good-aligned party.
1:42:37 - "Stormchaser Dai-Gurren! Who the hell do you think we are?!"
2:42:07 - "Aarakocra... Strange, lots of blood on this one." "Indeed. Mostly my own."
"I want to research self help books and how to get over entire family deaths" *A kindly old priest sits down with Lucius and spends 4 days alternating passing him tissues and holding out a bin.*
I love it when Rhiannon breaks and it causes everyone else to break and they spend 5 minutes absolutely dying.
Oriya becoming a sky pirate sounds amazing
If Nova’s an engineer, does that make her a... enginasi
She should be referred to as Enginova.
yes
that is so fucking bad...but admittedly funny...
I would of loved it if you hired Rosemeadow as your doctor. She seem's to know what she is doing and could make potions for you.
Yes!!!! Maybe in the future if they get two skilled hirelings :D
But she's in Kaliesrest
she's literally an ocean away from them
Wow all the game mechanics of the ship, crew, rooms upgrading it and stuff are really cool. Trott's design was really good, too.
I once heard a quote from a wise man about modern art, that I was reminded of by smeak. “ I once saw a man drink a bucket of paint, vomit it on to a canvas, and sell it for a depressing amount of money “ - shad from the RUclips channel: shadiversity
Wait isn't shad jazza's brother ( jazza is a art RUclipsr ) I think I remember seeing him in one of his videos and thinking if he watched high rollers
God Shadiversity comes across as such a twat and I hate him.
He's so smarmy and slimy, it's actually insane.
.
SHAD FTW!
Hot person: Breathes
Nova: *Dreamy sigh*
I love how right after she was swooning over the orc, one of the ship-builders asked if they could send in the other guys, and autocaptions translated that as "send in the other gays".
I'm loving the new crew here, an Orc doctor, a human, halfling, aasimar and Guardian as hirelings, and a group of Beast walkers as the main crew, with Oriya as captain atop it all! Man, airships are a HUGE responsibility, hope you all do well in keeping ship and crew united. Loved all the new lore, giving insight into questions that have been unanswered for the longest time and I'm surprised that any information on Hadar was available, him being the 'Dark hunger' and so forth. I just have one question, are Beastwalkers like the faunus of RWBY? They certainly seem to share some amount of similarity. Thank you for the episode, and can't wait to see what happens next.
I have a dnd campaign where through wild magic our friend made our ship sentient. It’s name is Betty. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
This episode was such a delight. Love myself some good RP downtime
Edit: OMG IM DYING! MARK YOU ARE A GOOD, WE APPRICIATE YOU AND ALL YOUR HARD WORK xD
The mystery girl really seems like it is Chris Trotts sister lol even from the moment we meet her. In the vision they only confirmed his fathers death and no one seems to even consider talking about his sister.
I had the same thought!!!
Omg the brainstorming of the ship options i love them all, gonna steal them for my world
i discovered this beauty around 1 month ago - never played or even watched a D&D campaign before this but i am in love. Mark's world building & ability create a scene/atmosphere using words is amazing! im hooked & happy to know i have over 100 episodes still to go :D
"Did you just ask Nova if she could learn something?" Broke out laughing.....
Smeek: *pulls out Quill's feather*
Smeek: *starts writing romantic novellas*
I feel like his romantic novellas would feature a goblin dating a wild elf woman with lightning powers.
I'm dying. When mark cast a spell using his "necromantic power" my screen protector came off and scared me
GET SENTRY INTEGRATED INTO THE SHIP LIKE A GODDAMN JAEGAR
I misheard sentry say " I can go see my home." as "I can go see my harem" and almost spat out my sandwich.
What kind of sandwich?
Bryan Cornejo totally roast beef. Calling it now
Sadly it was just a sad bologna sandwich with cheese.
Chaos Games ain’t no shame in bologna
Sentry: Guardian Pimp
watching this during the stay-at-home order and boy do i miss hanging with my friends in the same room
So glad they went with the beast crew. Cool having tough and strong animal guys and gals grafting around the ship.
Rihannon in barbarian attire. The world has reached a new level of awesomeness.
I really hope they go and get Veskin the tiefling barkeep from myrskyr to be the ships Cook
The title card for the ad hit me, I literally fell backwards, onto the floor, out of my chair.
Best DND beyond ad thus far. Honestly since Trott took over ads I've started counting pre episode as just as important content.
The hand split face salute is only offensive if the salutee omits the obligatory 2-finger acknowledgment. "Nyuk nyuk wiseguy eh?" would only be required in formal uniform.
I was late to discover high rollers, and I am catching up fast. And this episode was hilarious! I love watching you guys.
Regular ye olde spoilers and Campaign 1 spoilers
I kind of like how by coincidence there's a couple of paralells between the baddies in Lightfall and the party in Aerois. Not enough that the two are genuinely similar, just enough to have a chuckle at.
Stormchasers - Broken sky
Storm theme - Storm theme
Blue skinned woman with some loose connection to air magic: Nova - Phelania (Air genasi - Cloud giant)
Physically strong character with lightning powers: Aila - Varesh (Storm barbarian - Blue dragonborn)
Cool frickin airship - Cool frickin airship
Some shared thing which allows long distance communication: The messenger bracelets/rings(?) - The tattoos
So. What if Aerois eventually turns into a "Are we the baddies? We're the baddies, aren't we?"-campaign, the group for some reason decide to break the cradle (and let Starbane's full forces in?), they rename their group from Stormchasers to The Broken Sky and their symbol is The Cradle with a lightning bolt through it? :D
Don't forget the most important comparison:
Cam's nat 20 dick-Smeek's nat 20 art talent XD
@@wizzzard999 Ah, of course. How could I forget?
I think you might have out Sam Riegeled Sam Riegel with that elaborate DnD Beyond ad. Good job.
Omfg the ad
I love it so much
This tops anything Sam has done for a good long while IMHO
man i want some Aaron plumbus books now
or meet em in the future
Nothing better to get myself in the mood to DM a oneshot tomorrow for my friend! So many laughs this episode 😁.
How did trott not ask there favorite colour?
**Spoilers?**
I did not expect a propper design well done
I did expect barbie's glittering skyship or something
I feel Mark’s “I talk so much” rant in my soul
Nova experimenting with arcana on a ship - what could go wrong
Dammit, I’m already in love with the unskilled hirelings. Specifically Lanceion.(?)
That ad was mental. Great job HR. Hats off.
"ThAnK yOU LuCiUs I WONT LET YOU DOWN."
"Nova we need to LAND."
Thank you for that, got a good chuckle.
With an airship now they can totally go anywhere and do ANYTHING, mark just set himself up to be unprepared for the groups shenanigans.
Dammut! The DnDBeyond intro totally brookstoned me
Quill's response, "The officer's get eaten first?!?" Slayed me too! I pictured an enormous roasted Turkey!! Lmao!!!!! 🤣😂🤣
I mean Eat The Rich, am I right?
I just realised that the moon and star masked woman and Nova telling Lucius to dance in the moonlight wouldn't happen
There isn't any moon around Aerois and it was mentioned in an earlier episode that they would have no concept of a moon
1. Valley of storms weapon
2. City of Glass
3. Dawn breaker
4. Solvein
Order i think they should go to these places
Honestly yeah, as s c a r y as all of these are,
Quill needs a weapon
Having played Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, this episode has been amazing, especially the officers part really felt like a light-hearted dnd version of Sunless Sea..
“Are books your drug?”
“Shh”
“Yep.”
Omg, I read "Legends and Liabilities" xD
So, the group and Chris Trott basically xD
Tomayto Tomahto.
aramere3650 i think you’ll find its Chris Trott and The Group? Ugh, people never get the band name right anymore, what kind of post-rock indie fan are you?
Accurate
Stormchasers. Hell to the Bloody yea!
the fucking opening D&D commerical has me fucking DYINGSJKDFMSDKFLSD
I LOVED the intro advertisement! I almost fell out on the floor at work!
The BEST ad ive seen in my life!!
1:43:00
Only few will realize that they ACTUALLY CREATED A FREAKING GURREN LAGANN GUNMAN SHIP!!! (aka. Dai-Gunzan)
Somebody please make that a reality!
That was the best ad I think I’ve seen in years
That interview sequence with the ship doctor was superb.

So sure the crew they could choose from were the survivors of the one shot mark did with the community
Best Beyond D&D ad ever :-)
I think a battle tactics or war room. Like the room where the senior staff of star trek went to discuss what to do.
I love broken high roller so much literally crying rn omfg
That was the best intro to a video ive ever seen
I can confidently say that the dnd beyond advert is way better than any done by Sam Riguel
High Rollers character sheet
Aila www.dndbeyond.com/characters/3607814
For some reason I couldn't put multiple links but don't worry once you connect to one character sheet you can access the rest by clicking the box saying Campaign: Aerois Campaign
I literally just watched this episode on twitch because i had caught up on youtube
I've enjoyed the episodes but I hit the like button on this episode PURELY because of the group breakdown. LOL
The only ad i have ever enjoyed watching
FYI the term bastard is not actually gender specific. Any child born out of wedlock is a bastard, regardless of gender.
The insult of bastard is directed at men because of the old inheritance laws where the oldest male child was the heir but bastards were ineligible unless officially recognised. Because bastards would often be older than "legitimate" children the term was used as a way to decrease the standing of male bastards so they wouldn't become a threat to inheritance. Since women only inherited if there were no male heirs it wasn't necessary to use in a derogatory fashion against them and was therefore never used against them in such a fashion, hence it is viewed as a insult to men.
Please remember the banshee in rose hall and the Hesper book and space mirror
All the wolf pack gets to sleep in a big cuddle pile with the captain
17:35 someone please tell me they also noticed Rhi in the background of that conversation.
That ad was absolutely hilarious
edit: "Vas'vorak" I see what you did there....
watching the series again and just realized that over half the part can live under water
Rhiannon struggling to pronounce "Archipelago" almost made me snort my orange juice out my nose...
Smeek is the best thing in the world. I love him so much.
The best thing that has happened to this series. The mental breakdown of everyone
When giving the roles to the different parts i half expected trot to start listing the requirements for the quartermaster then say 'Quill!' 'Yes! I will do well.' give him an odd look. 'I was just going to ask if you could ask someone from the messangers guild, like a brother or sister or something? I suppose you would do well too.'
OMG, I fucking died when Matt did the voice for the Flumph holy shit I died of laughter, and I love how it was granny trell too hahahahah.
Am I the only one wishing for Smeek to be the cook?
episode 42 the laughs, the universe, and everthing.
The DnD Beyond commercial made me hit like already!
Does Nova just fancy every npc they meet?
When nova asked how they feel about books I thought Howard was gonna say I can't read
Granny Trell still lives
I was not ready for that DnD Beyond ad.
break ends at 1:40:32 :-)
