By God, Johnny as Harry Du Bois is _perfect._ No, seriously; their beard 'do is incredible, obviously, but the blazer, the tie, and even their _nose,_ make such a perfect fit. Check out the photos of them doing The Expression, and...yeah. Wow.
Can't wait for the fan art of Prudence victoriously emerging from the flames--Khaleesi style. Fully clothed, of course. this is a family show, after all!
It didn't start as a family show of course, but after the orphans were creamed and used as mortar, only families are left to enjoy the show. 🤣 Puns for the kids, splatter-fest for the grown-ups.
Looking forward to re-watching this, having caught it live. Took my very excited son along, whose enjoyment was only enhanced when it turned out that Johnny had given one of the NPCs the same name as him.
my god. we've been in deadlands for so long I'd forgotten how insane and chaotic a normal oxventure is. They hadn't even left the starting tavern and i was already struggling to breath through the laughter.
Aw, beans, Johnny has Nate themed dice now. (Dolphins do have something that enhances their echolocation underwater, incidentally, it's called their melons, and I strongly recommend not looking it up on Wikipedia because of the choice of illustrative images)
I really want a "Hook Horror House - Do you like your odds" shirt! 2.5% chance of being killed by skeletons while purchasing it is a deal I am willing to accept!
Johnny many adventures ago when responding to Prudence's question about mortar 'It's orphans boss'. Johnny this adventure, 'I'm not prepared to immolate a boy'.... wonder what changed?
i think its because the orphans were "off screen" when it happened, so they didn't have to describe the process EDIT: they said on their dead space stream that the kids were named after real kids they knew would be watching, and they didn't want to upset them
I'm not sure I've ever seen so many facepalms from Johnny from just one session like this. I now really need to know just how derailed this one got compared to what Johnny had planned. I mean, I'm not at all surprised that it went to pure chaos since I'm used to them, particularly Dob, Egbert, and Corazon, just going with whatever pops in their heads first.
I had a moment of "oh my goodness what on earth has Johnny done to their magnificent beard?!" before my brain reminded me that I started playing Disco Elysium last week and I did, in fact, understand that reference.
I went from not knowing a single thing about ttrpgs, to watching oxventure, playing divinity original sin 2, to taking an interest in the actual rules, and realising they never learned the rules 😭 except maybe Andy and Ellen
That actually blows my mind... me and my sister saw this live (our first time) but we'd been watching them online since episode 1 released. As a great cop once said: "welcome to the party, pal"
As a side thought, maybe using physical tokens to track inspiration wouldn't be a bad idea? Like you did with Bennies in Deadlands, because Ellen in particular seemed to forget she had it when she whiffed the roll to throw the rock.
With how off the walls this group gets, I wonder if they ditched the rule of inspiration being yes/no. With some of their hijinks and how frequently Johnny hands it out, they could do with banking them.
I have seen this episode in parts so don't trust my memory 100%, but wasn't that rock throw roll a Dex roll? Would've passed if she added 10 to it, as pass without trace was still active then.
Ah, hook horrors. My players started calling them "birdles" (bird-turtles), and it stuck so hard that name became canon for my setting. Edit after video: Johnny's expressions are definitely the best this episode.
Not only did Eggbert invent and patent the steam engine, but at 56:00 Corazon proposes the first Hook Horror fur-suit. Ironic that the world’s first fur suit would be for a fur less creature.
I like how when Mike says he rolled a natural one, Jane leans over to check if he really did. We all know that Mike would lie and say he rolled a one if he thought it would be funny.
1:11:20 to see Johnny realise that they're the only person with empathy left in the group as the others talk openly about plentiful animal cruelty 😢 Then 1:14:50 when Johnny finally loses the will to live/attempt to provide a moral compass to the group anymore😭 (Love you Johnny 💖 and hilarious as always gang 😁)
@@pinkcowqueen absolute dimwitted error by me, apologies to you and them, genuinely not sure how that crept in (though Ellen making the same mistake in the vid makes me feel very slightly better about it)
So let me get this straight... Johnny's not prepared to immolate a boy, but they *are* prepared to have sixty skeletons turn a building full of orphans into mortar? LOL
Someone mentioned under a similar comment that these two were named after children in the audience. Killing unnamed NPCs off-screen was fine, but graphically describing the murder of two audience members may have upset them, so Johnny decided not to risk it.
@@torgranael That was a coincidence. Johnny almost certainly did not know that those specific kids were in the audience. Although, TBF, when you name an NPC with even a vaguely common human name, there is a probability that someone in the audience has that name...
@@andrewb1921 No, someone asked about that during their Halloween livestream and Johnny said that they’d been introduced to two kids before and decided to name the NPC’s after them. They said something along the lines of how they’d decided that while killing a bunch of unnamed and unseen orphans off screen was one thing, killing a child onscreen while their tiny namesake was probably in the audience was another.
Dob pacing turns to see Corazon, "If we take a percentage, this could be a very profitable venture... I'm not in the room", he says before slowly vanishing.
Love Johnny's outfit in this one - they're looking so snazzy! (but also: just really loved this adventure, very much reminds me of a session I did not particularly long ago)
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get to this as I was next door at the Disney 100 Exhibition while this was happening. I’m very glad this has turned up on here.
Egbert eats the flames and enters dragon for.... human force mode and gains some human like skin patches around his body subsequently gaining a power boost.
Missed out on the meetup sadly, but me and my sister were buzzing that we got to watch you guys play live! Definitely one of the most chaotic episodes in a while 😂
I mean, I do not _regret_ visiting family instead of going to this and the Mighty Nein reunion live as originally planned, but eleven minutes in and I'm already a little bit not _not_ regretting it🤣🤣
Hook Horror House: Do you like your odds? (One in forty **will** die)... 1 gold piece. As a T-shirt design, it goes hard. WOTC probably own Hook Horrors though...

I'm imagining Egbert is just confused the entire adventure because he doesn't believe in ghosts
I paused about 20 minutes in to come down here and check someone had mentioned it.
Jonny “Eggburt’s drink goes up the wall at 30-35 miles per hour.”
My brain: “So Eggburts movement speed?”
One of those funny timing things happened when they mention the train a train happening going through my town blowing it's whistle.
Me and my sister were in the audience, and we literally whispered the same thing to each other 😂
**chef's kiss**
The drink is on a moped
"Trains don't sink, Egbert." - Merilwen.
Actually, I've seen photographs of one that did.
They may not sink _often,_ but they apparently really don't _float._
A Japanese train got… sunk?… by a U.S. submarine during WWII (commanded by one of America’s surprisingly large number of WWII badasses who cheated on their eye exams to get into the military).
I imagine, somewhere in Geth, a Tabaxi's ears keep perking up during this adventure
And he doesn't know why
“With your immence strength and momentum” reminds me that Prudence is still a werebear.
This doesn’t get mentioned enough
I think you mean it gets bearly mentioned.
@@consolescrub4031 Are we going to start with the grizzly puns now?
Because I love it.

@@daviddaugherty2816 I think we definitely have but I must ask with the space there, why the big paws?
By God, Johnny as Harry Du Bois is _perfect._
No, seriously; their beard 'do is incredible, obviously, but the blazer, the tie, and even their _nose,_ make such a perfect fit. Check out the photos of them doing The Expression, and...yeah. Wow.
i think thats the first time they shaved (part of) their beard in the better part of a decade
edit: twelve years
A bit risky. I feel like Harry DuBois as a Dungeon Master is just one failed check away from believing he's literally a god.
How did they also find a perfect Kim too?? Who was that person?
@@octochan I know, right!?
u r a rokstaa!!
So sad! When Johnny mentioned a beak I thought it was the return of the swan with Corazon's face, the Coraswan!
Oh, it's coming. And the vampire cockatrice, also.
@@thomaslane1547 And also Bob, the wannabe adventurer. It’s going to be a full on Bob-mageddon when he comes back.
I am still waiting for Shed to come back. I feel he faked his death...twice
Ellen making the comment about most taverns being haunted after they visit immediately gave me flashbacks to Merilwen’s Meat Grinder™️
It's so easy to forget, but Merilwyn is, in fact, the member of the group that has committed the most war crimes.
@@madestmadhatter I will never forget
It was a combination of Grease and Spike Growth, so Corozon should shoulder some of the responsibility for the meat grinder.
If you're scared at any time, you owe 1 gold

Damn Alan Wakes going to bankrupt me

The return of nudence
Nah, nudence is is canon since gnome alone 😂
Maybe tastefully revealed in a pg-13 way?
Did Johnny accidentally drop a hint for the next Oxventure series ?(when said Bismith is very busy right now)
The look on Andy’s face🙀
Looking forward to re-watching this, having caught it live. Took my very excited son along, whose enjoyment was only enhanced when it turned out that Johnny had given one of the NPCs the same name as him.
Aw that’s so sweet
Congrats you got to make it there
Logan or Harrison I presume!
@@Pizzaetertje Also congrats they made it out alive... I presume
@@TheYorkRoseshockingly, my son’s name is not Olive, so, yeah… 😁
my god. we've been in deadlands for so long I'd forgotten how insane and chaotic a normal oxventure is. They hadn't even left the starting tavern and i was already struggling to breath through the laughter.
I've missed the puns. They're always punny (especially Ellen) but they really go into overdrive during D&D sessions.
Auh, they didn't bring up the fact that Egbert doesn't believe in ghosts
Ahh the casual brutality of the oxventure, has been sorely missed (or avoided if you happen to be a passing orphan)
Aw, beans, Johnny has Nate themed dice now.
(Dolphins do have something that enhances their echolocation underwater, incidentally, it's called their melons, and I strongly recommend not looking it up on Wikipedia because of the choice of illustrative images)
You're saying a Google image search for "melons" could go wrong?
@@thomaslane1547 I wish the images were that enjoyable. Rather than, IIRC, disected dolphin heads.
Yikes! Yep, I'd be OK with missing that.
AHHHH IT'S US!!!!
That "AHHHH" legally counts as evidence of being scared. One gold piece to Corazon, please.

Well, as far as I'm aware, none of the orphans were immolated on the path to mortar.
Dob's chaos v.s. Egbert's order.
@@thomaslane1547 mortar needs a hot fire and calcium (and some other things that aren't as important.)
Ghost called Olive.
Necrotic corpse called Popeye.
Behemoth monstrosity called Bluto.

I mean, I'm not at all surprised that it went to pure chaos since I'm used to them, particularly Dob, Egbert, and Corazon, just going with whatever pops in their heads first.
He's not facepalming so much as "donning his actor's persona/staying in character"
I had a moment of "oh my goodness what on earth has Johnny done to their magnificent beard?!" before my brain reminded me that I started playing Disco Elysium last week and I did, in fact, understand that reference.
Ah the first Oxventure since they've all played Baldur's Gate 3 and now they're aware of mechanics.
It's in no small part due to the Oxventure, that I gave it a shot - one of the best decisions this year.
Never crossed my mind that BG3 might have taught them some things... excited for Egbert to use Divine Smite sometime soon!!
@@bigaj6901let's not get too ahead ourselves though
I went from not knowing a single thing about ttrpgs, to watching oxventure, playing divinity original sin 2, to taking an interest in the actual rules, and realising they never learned the rules 😭 except maybe Andy and Ellen
This episode kinda feels like the origin for the blades in the dark series
saw this live as my first taste of Oxventure, Johnny is a truly amazing DM and I'm really excited to dive into the rest of the podcast!
That actually blows my mind... me and my sister saw this live (our first time) but we'd been watching them online since episode 1 released. As a great cop once said: "welcome to the party, pal"
You should both watch the episodes and listen to the podcast!
ooooooooh,, welcome to the skelly squad. Here is your hammock (or however it is spelled) and make yourself comfortable in da hammer!!
Was totally waiting for Prudence to say "Hook What house?" When she went deaf
As a side thought, maybe using physical tokens to track inspiration wouldn't be a bad idea? Like you did with Bennies in Deadlands, because Ellen in particular seemed to forget she had it when she whiffed the roll to throw the rock.

Saw this live as my first ever show! Those yet to see this are in for a right laugh!!
That was so hilarious! Poor Johnny lmao
Oh, we never got to see Egbert's amazing train engine :(
Ox crew instantly putting Johnny through their paces 😂
4:26 Corazon: "I start licking the wall." Me and my Baldur's Gate 3-brain addled mind: "STOP licking the damn thing!"
Schnozberries taste like schnozberries.
Ah, hook horrors. My players started calling them "birdles" (bird-turtles), and it stuck so hard that name became canon for my setting.
Edit after video: Johnny's expressions are definitely the best this episode.
Video starts at 00:00, don't even worry about it
(But if you want to skip to the show it's from 02:05)
So sad to see this is airing while I'm still at work today but glad I'll be able to watch it once I'm off work! HAPPY HALLOWSTREAM EVERYONE!!!
Always love these and always eagerly look forward to the next session.
Love seeing everyone have so much fun.
Luke and Andy have done great Jobs GMing, but I really missed Johnny as GM
His acceptance that he really has no control of the situation and just rolls with it is gold.
Corozan: It only costs 1 gold piece.
Rust on the Harbour: oh, that’s to much.
I don’t know about you but I can’t wait to purchase my very own bottle of Egberts buffalo sauce!
Real-world merch idea
Under the title: burns like Dragons Fire, in and out😂
And Prudence is once again COVERED in gore. 🎉
Not only did Eggbert invent and patent the steam engine, but at 56:00 Corazon proposes the first Hook Horror fur-suit. Ironic that the world’s first fur suit would be for a fur less creature.
... did Roll and Play know what they were signing up for when they supported this session??
I like how when Mike says he rolled a natural one, Jane leans over to check if he really did. We all know that Mike would lie and say he rolled a one if he thought it would be funny.
New Feat: Squid Reflex. The First round of combat you can cast Grease as a free action without using a spell slot.
Ok, I know that's a corazon joke, but I'd get that feat sounds silly. Infini grease!
How adorable is ellen, love seeing her smile
Every time I watch these I end up laughing out loud. I love these wacky games!
Is Johnny Dressed up as Harry from Disco Elysium? That's the best cosplay I've ever seen! xD
Happy Halloweenmas!
The haunting of hook horror house !
Dahm now I want a plushie Hook Horror. XD
That is a smashing Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau!
So Egbert and Dob are Shaggy and Scooby, Corazon, Prudenamd Merilwen are Fred, Daphne, and Velma
45:27 I suppose it's natural to die if someone kicks you in half...
Saw this live and is going directly to my "see when sad" list next to Stop Hammer time.
Killer episode indeed XD
Love Johnny's Harry duBois cosplay, it's perfect!
At least it wasn't a group of paladins getting meat-grindered
I love the idea that a haunted house is needed in a world where you can't throw a brick without hitting three undead, two fiends, and an abomination.
Dob with an umbrella questioning a ghost? Didn't know he was a parasolchologist...
Great cosplay Johnny! Lieutenant Double-Yefreitor Harrier Du Bois would definitly be into role playing.
"Hook Horrors" with a British accent sure sounds a lot like something else to these American ears lmao
Heck yay I love you prudence when you calmly walked into the fire saying I trust you. Was the best thank you that was amazing
Liked on, "Don't Dolphins have like an organ or something that goes like 'Eeh dii dii deet deet di'." And how!
the gasp i gusped seeing this upload! had such a bad day and i instantly feel better. thanks all

We were there so very happy that we got to part of this
Everyoneesleintheworld: “I, too am not prepared to immolate a boy”.
