    When I saw that Caius was a warlock, all i could say is "of course Spencer is playing a warlock again" can't blame her tho, i love them too

      Hell yeah, warlocks are awesome. Though I’m also here to “um actually” this comment cause the only other warlocks Spencer has played are Lamarcia from Evenfall, who was crossclassed and also not really her main character to the campaign, and Rosealie from Saltmarsh, who was also crossclassed and also was like 4 years ago.
      All to say that she has a very cool character here and I’m really excited to have her playing a warlock, cause I’ve RARELY got to see her do it.

    Jacob's DMing got hands. Every NPC seemed like a complete person. Nobody seemed like set dressing, these are all real people in my head. I'm inconsolably excited for more.

    • @XPtoLevel3
      @XPtoLevel3 Год назад +41

      Thank you, I really appreciate this! NPC's have been my weakness as a DM for a long time, I've never felt that my NPC's were anything more than just jokes, set dressing, people who tell the plot at you, or people who need something from the players. I love creating scenes, writing fun rules, and making monsters. But when it comes to making characters that feel like real people, I've always struggled. I worked hard to make the NPC's in this game feel more real than in my past games. So just wanna say I appreciate this comment

    Guys, the sound quality could use some work. I need to turn my volume all the way up to hear Jacob clearly and Anastasia's player at all. But then somebody will make a loud noise or several of you will talk at once, and I'm deafened. I know that's mostly a budget issue, but the stream is almost unwatchable... or rather, un-listen-able.

      @@concernedearthling3353 Yeah but I would argue it needs an update. It comes from a time in D&D where money was tied to your XP and DMs actually checked for weight. Now that that’s not really so much a priority anymore I think it just needs to change. It’s so niche now it’s borderline useless as written.
      They gotta change the duration, change it back to holding weight based on spell/caster level, allow you to command it, or something but it remaining the exact same through 10 years of the same edition is criminal.

    Hello Jacob, a question for the DM, can you weaponize Floating Disc? If I am able to cast it within a space that is to small for it to fit, will it crush all the soft and squishy things occupying that space with force damage. If the answer is, yes of course, what would you like me to roll for damage when cutting someone in half in this fashion?
