I love Mark's scaling. First we have a 300 foot main building on campus. At an average of 15ft per floor, and that's tall ceilings, that is 20 floors. Then we've got a 5k foot building that's "about the size of an American football field". A football field is 300 feet. 5,000 feet is nearly a mile.
lmfao I'm so glad someone else mentioned this I heard "5000 feet- it's basically an American football field on it s side up" and I had to pause the video like "...wait what? does...does mark think football fields are 5000 feet long, or does he not understand how far 5000 feet is?"

I'll confess I'd just sneaked a listen on podcast before the vid arrived. What a great episode. For a few moments I worried the intricacies of Mark's mechanics might overshadow some of the episode but the party love them so much that you kind of just go with it. He's definitely doing something different, which at the level they are playing is welcome (when combats take 3+ hours). Off road DnD at its best.
It was a success, but with a cost and those, from the storytelling perspective, are imo the most interesting type of results 😁Great session and for the algorithm!
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! It's the Wild Child from the Emerald Isle against the Bristol Bomber! Who will come out on top in this lightweight battle you didn't know you needed!? Jacksepticeye v. Rhiannon Frost! Only viewable on High Rollers!
Ok, Mark gave them the option to be delayed or lose hit dice. They chose to lose hit die, but then he still penalized them as being delayed by several minutes. Maybe he forgot, but that was pretty shitty to end up giving them BOTH penalties (yeah, I get they failed a roll, but he established the mechanic at the table as either-or and then ended up applying both).
the "i use hit dice to succeed" doesn't happen instantly, Mark clearly explained that it would still take some time and Kim even RP'd it as Nova boring the guards for several minuets talking about the history of food before they got through. (and even without them failing Quill can move through walls, he was going to be ahead of them in encountering things unless he waited for them to catch up, which he didn't)
Spoilers One of my favorite episodes in a while, overall the Vortensaar arc is amazing! Quill sneaking in was both really cool with the banish and hilarious with the locks, and Nova’s rooftop escape into the museum with OCTAVIUS the tech knight was cinematic as fuck, and taking out a guy in a single turn was fuckin intense. The hard-cut back to sentry and Lucius was also really funny.
1:04:40-1:04:55 -Making a point of squeezing out of the way and needing to "hold your breath" to avoid detection by a guard. Kim replies "I'm an Air Genasi" Mark's slightly "oh yeah" look" was hilarious. 1:19:20-1:19:30 Kim: "Here I am... Rocking like a hurricane." Good choice, but first to come to my mind was actually "Here I am, again on my own." 2:16:45-2:17:05 For the record the tallest building on Earth, Burj Khalifa is 828 meters or 2,716.5 feet. An American football field is 100 yards (300 feet) from goal line to the other. 5,000 feet is 0.95 miles (0.946968... actually.) [Hey if I will math it out, someone else will call me on the approximation, but logically rounded off] this is 1524 meters. Imagine how much different an American Football game would be if the field was 1,524 meters For easier reference for your part of the world, I understand Big Ben is 315 feet, the Eiffel Tower approximately 980 (Both of these are relatively easy to view for you compared to an American such as myself, as the journey to visit them is quite considerable for me)
I am liking this ark. But the ideas of how the city is and being ran and react to there actions makes no since. There should be almost no Valkyrian forces if they really pulled out of the city like the leader said. And in this ep. The remaining forces would never release a story so fake while there where 6 eye witnesses out in the public that would be completely reliable and would tell the truth.
If they know bad stuff is going to happen to the city, why don't they message Starbane and ask if he knows what Chansara is doing and tell him what is up. Make them wait.
Arcane Lock was dispelled, so if you're saying it should've been harder to pick the locks, it wouldn't have been. If you're saying dispelling wasn't technically necessary you could be correct, though other protections like the Alarm spell were also dispelled.
@@mme.veronica735 nha just laughing at the fact this the first time i've seen it used. Additionally going by RAW you dispel 1 effect per casting, which would mean it's possible the alarm was triggered by the dispelling of the lock, but eh details less enjoyable then show itself

This campaign has been such a wild ride. Thinking back to all the times they almost died along the way. This needs and deserves more attention.
1:40:07 the best joke of the episode...Katie scanning Tom and going "nerd"
I laughed so hard
“He’s fuckin sent us to another plane!! GET HIM!!!” - inquisitor that quill banished. I’m dying 😂

Thumbnail is amazing
Highrollers! Some of the finest individuals in all the land. Thank you all for all you do!
Love the usage of hitdice as a resource in this section of the campaign, I think it seems like a really fun mechanic to try applying elsewhere!
Tom's comment of, "it's like most inspirational saying written in comic sans" is amazing.
Ah man I love it when these solo mini-missions happen and the way these went were so damn good
me watching 2 months later on RUclips, WOW I never realised it was pre-recorded :P

Off road DnD at its best.
That reference to the Mordor nemesis system at the end killed me, I love how much I can relate to their humor with my own group's humor.
A 5000 foot tower!? That's over 1.5 kilometres 😂 bit more than any sports pitch, jeeeeeeez
Rhi looks soooooo good with this hairstyle and hair colour!
I look at Mark facepalming sometimes and I imagine how many times he’s like “Wtf is going on?” in his mind 😂
Ah, the pain of DM'ing with an Echo Knight's bonkers teleportation.
Tornado is probably my favorite character so far, which is saying alot since there's some great characters in this campaign.
I am finally caught up and now I have to wait for new releases with everyone else!
In a very, very similar boat. Was over a year behind and after bingeing for like a month I'm finally caught up and now... I wait... ;_;
I really like how the mechanics work for the city!
Really loving this arc! The mechanics work so well and Vortinssar is such a cool city!
Great episode, had me laughing the whole time but especially at Quill's mission with the doors 😂
For the longest time I stopped watching these on RUclips, I forgot just how much I’d adds to the experience!
i dont think that i have seen Tom so terrified
Love the wheelchair bro. Loving the inclusively for us "wheelie good" Beans
Yay! High rollers! Just what I needed tonight! X
Also, Shamsara is GOLD!
It was a success, but with a cost and those, from the storytelling perspective, are imo the most interesting type of results 😁Great session and for the algorithm!

an American football field is 100yard or 300ft or roughly 91.44m
Mark completely unaware they were back on "you wish you were a man"
Shamsara: The Misguiding Scar of Vortinsaar
Yay, so glad to have another session to enjoy
Another blessed friday
I'm so sad. I'm so close but don't have the funds to come see my favorite people. :( :( :( I'll stream the hell out of all of PAX.

Awe, Tom put some minimal effort into the upload (assuming it is Kim reading replies)
Were Tom and Kim competing on who would fuck the mission up worse??
Love you people
Also 5,000 feet is almost a american mile. 300 feet is football field
So.... Nova went nova?
Please make shamShara a thing
You break a leg so you end up in the cast
Just an fyi. 5000 ft is just short of a mile. Closer to 1 km
cool

hmm arcane lock, raises the lockpicking/breaking difficulty by +10. nah not relevant to this.
