Yeah that's true. College Humor has 14 million subcribers and dnd isn't even at 500k. Wizards is lucky that everyone else grows their brand for them for free.
Honestly seeing Dael on the thumbnail made me lose my sh*t. I was never expecting to see her alongside these people but I couldn't be happier! She absolutely deserves to be recognised and appreciated on this and I look forward to seeing more of her in similar things in the future!
It was good of Jeremy to keep his mouth shut when Gabe used a reckless attack on a ranged attack. All of us DMs should take a page from him while playing at other's tables.
And for him to keep his mouth shut when Reckless applied to the second attack of that turn. But hey, we've all been cool to players to showcase them in their hour of triumph. Right???
@@MddnickReckless applies to all melee Strength attacks that turn, you just have to decide during your first attack. But it shouldn't have applied to either thrown attack regardless.
A rousing adventure with copious quantities of fun and shenanigans. Also dinos, direwolves, giants, castles, acorn birthmarks, runes, Professor Antoine LeClerc, and squirrels. What's not to love? (I was lucky enough to sit in on most of this live via Twitch at Gen Con, and it's eminently satisfying now to see it all straight through beginning to end finally. You guys do rock the caz, all of ya.)
I'm probably the only one, but shoutout to David Ewalt for mentioning this panel happening in his "Of Dice and Men". I wouldn't have found this recording if he hadn't mentioned BLeeM in his recounting of Gen Con 2023. I came to this video expecting Brennan, but am staying because of Erika. Always a joy to see those two play together!
I love that that had a table and miniature sponsor and did it all theater of the mind, and they had a camera on the dice box by they were mostly using dice that utterly failed to show up on camera.
@@MainlyMortal This is no brainer to experienced DMs but this item or the blood fury tat are going to surprise new ones. Why waste ink on something that shouldn't be in the game when THAT person is gonna to ask for these then whine that 'it's a item in the book'.
@@andrewl9191 then each and every encounter is balanced to ONE and only one party member. If your party is one person with main character syndrome and a bunch of people who love playing supports this is okay but, I'm reasonable sure that friend group is toxic. I do think I just stumbled upon the right use of these. Single player D&D.
@@ChryssaBL I don't understand what you're trying to say here about one party member. You're worried that a monster won't survive a single round of combat. Just don't make them die. Surely there will be others fighting as well. They can deal damage too. Just don't let it kill the monster. Keep going. I'm always struck by how people post different places "My bbeg didn't even last through one round, they just piled on all the damage." Just don't let it die. If you had it set at 200hp (or whatever) just throw that number out and keep going until epic stuff happens. It doesn't have anything to do with a single player or character. You change numbers based on how many players you have, right? I play with 6-8 routinely. There's no way I can run a Beholder (as an example) at only 180 hp. It would be destroyed by a group of 8. How do you figure out how to place it correctly? I don't know, double it? Set a number at 300 or 350, and see if it feels right. If they get to 3 turns, or maybe 4, and they're getting close to that number, keep it. If they blow right past it on turn 2 but it should be a harder fight, just increase it again.
I’m gonna wait for the reprint with ai generated imagery removed if that is coming for Bigby. Honest to god if you’re gonna raise prices for the book you can at least make sure that the stuff in it was made by people
I'm also on the reprint train. Luckily there's plenty of ways to access the content until that day comes without having to pay WotC's exorbitant prices.
@@groble Not likely. Algorithmic image generation was not advanced enough at the time that the art direction for that book was happening to have been put into it. If there was any non-human imagery in it, it was overshadowed by other ongoing controversies re: the OGL.
Good panel playing. Imagine if upper management were fans and were here too? Nevermind wrong company. This isn't Larian. God forbid people who cared ran things. Somebody has to stay behind to count the gold & monetize things. This will never be that kind of small company.
I bet it felt super awkward DMing to people sitting on your left and right instead of in front of you. Too bad couldn't do a \__/ arrangement because even the players are constantly looking away from the direction of the crowd.
I miss the time of Force Grey, both the players and Mercer or Perkins directing, some games with a much higher quality. No intent to offend anyone in this game.
Like going into this as a fan of 3 or 4 of the cast, and knowing its constrained by the time slot of a convention panel... its OK. Its not amazing. But it can't be said to have killed the medium, that seems crazy.

See the character sheets: dndbeyond.link/yt_GiantSizeGenCon
I like that YT's algorithm has learned to bring anything Brennan Lee Mulligan my way 😂
That's nice of Brennan to come to small studios like this
Brennan.
Where him snacks? I see no snacks, nor rag to wipe sweat, on the table
You do realise this is a live show at a convention right??? Its a stage not a studio.
Yeah that's true. College Humor has 14 million subcribers and dnd isn't even at 500k. Wizards is lucky that everyone else grows their brand for them for free.
Damn he's just a guy, these is what he like does all the time... so shady lmaooo

What else is Dael in?
Matt Colville’s Dusk and her own YT though she travelled the furthest for this. She is Australian
She's also great in "The Eldritch Lorecast" a podcast.
I think she also was in a dungeon dudes one-shot.
"and you can't laugh or smile while you do it"
OH LIKE ERIKA HASN'T BEEN ON BREAKING NEWS BEFORE 🤣
I’m surprised there aren’t any comments about Erika’s and Luis’ rogue and ranger twins being an homage to Critical Role!
Damn, they ARE the Vex’halla and Vax’ildan of the game!
I'm largely here for Dael, though honestly the whole cast is amazing!
Dael Kingsmill on the big stage is a treat!
amazing cast across the board of course but *especially* delighted to see Dael on the larger dnd stage. more of that please.
Yes, yes, YES please!
I’m so happy Dael is here, this is incredible
"I have eaten but at what cost" I almost fell out of my chair. LOL!!!!!
It was good of Jeremy to keep his mouth shut when Gabe used a reckless attack on a ranged attack. All of us DMs should take a page from him while playing at other's tables.
Not to mention I think someone used Sacred Flame with an attack roll?
As a player, you should only suggest a rules interpretation that benefits the party lol
And for him to keep his mouth shut when Reckless applied to the second attack of that turn. But hey, we've all been cool to players to showcase them in their hour of triumph.
Right???
@@MddnickReckless applies to all melee Strength attacks that turn, you just have to decide during your first attack. But it shouldn't have applied to either thrown attack regardless.
@@jtim2 If he is playing the Giant subclass that came out, he can use rage on thrown attacks.
came for brennan, stayed for dael
I only knew about it because of Dael mentioning it, but she did mention Brennan and I knew I had to check this out.
Talk about an all-star cast! And it's particularly delightful to see Dael Kingsmill join their ranks.
Wow, so much fun! Great to see Dael onstage, along with the inimitable Brennan Lee Mulligan. What a freaking treat!
Jeremy just losing it, giggling, almost the entire time... you love to see it!
Gabe absolutely NAILED those one liners!
The pride in Crawford's face at the creative casting of Thunderwave was priceless🎉
Get this man some damn almonds, stat!
Have to admit, It was fun seeing Jeremy pop off! This man Dee n’ dees real good.
Amazing..! I love Luis, Gabe, and Erika. Brennen and Mr. Crawford are genius. Dael did a great job.
That was some awesome storytelling and roleplaying! Thanks for sharing this online for people who weren't present there :)
Did Ericka just basically pull out a rubber chicken? That's such classic vaudeville/medieval jester comedy and I'm totally here for it!
Seeing Dael swinging with the actual play big-dogs is always bound to be a delight!
Yes, they should be honored to share the stage with the loremaster of ancient mythology :)
At the 'bring our DM, BRENNAN LEE'.. I answered, top of my lungs: 'HEEELLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!' !!! XD LOVE his energy and enthusiam
lol i can hear Liam O brien’s laugh in the audience haha
time stamp?
lol really?
This was my absolute favorite part of any Gen Con I’ve ever been to!
Absolute joy to watch!
This was wonderful to watch. So much fun.
A rousing adventure with copious quantities of fun and shenanigans. Also dinos, direwolves, giants, castles, acorn birthmarks, runes, Professor Antoine LeClerc, and squirrels. What's not to love?

I can't believe I've only just now found this. Losing my mind at Gabe and Luis doing the fastball special....
Looked at Luis' character build. What a fun looking build.
For those who only listened to it, where can we find it? Or if you could give a quick sum that would be awesome
@@guyfromdubai there are links in the description ^^
@@seven-cats-3 Much appreciated!
@@guyfromdubai no worries!!

Playing with Jeremy Crawford is like having the players handbook with you
1:57:19
Counterspell is in the PHB and he doesnt seem to know how that works.
Look, let's be honest, this was BEGGING for a Jack the Giants Layer joke.
Absolutely loved this!! 🥰🥰🥰
This was awesome, everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and entertain others at the same time. Everyone was on it for sure.
That was wonderful fun!
I shall sacrifice a bag of almonds tonight in honour of Brennan going without for several hours 🏛️
OMG DAEEELLL
Looked like a fun game to be there in-person, sorry I missed it!
So glad to see Dael joining these events!!!
I need Gabe Hicks to be in everything ever
This was truly Amazing
loving the fantasy soap opera vibes
I love that that had a table and miniature sponsor and did it all theater of the mind, and they had a camera on the dice box by they were mostly using dice that utterly failed to show up on camera.
The horror of eight dire Pomeranians
That was brilliantly fun!! 😂
This was a lot of fun.
Clearly they called in the big guns
1:04:00 There is a Tenacious D music video that would give you sort of an idea of what that might look like: "___ her Gently"
So we're all Dael fans huh?
Dael!! 😍
Love how Rigby and Bigby was our ancestors inventing multi-boxing
wooo! it's dael!
Brennan's French accent is still one of the funniest things he's ever done, I can't take anything seriously when he pulls that out
DAELLLLLLLLLLLLL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unbelievable
Just chillin watching the intro
Does anyone know what this event was listed as in advance of the event? I'd love to catch something like this at Gencon next year!
Damn, the nova potential on that bloodshed great sword. How is a DM supposed to ensure a bbeg survives round 1 of combat?
easy, dont give your player a bloodshed greatsword
@@MainlyMortal This is no brainer to experienced DMs but this item or the blood fury tat are going to surprise new ones. Why waste ink on something that shouldn't be in the game when THAT person is gonna to ask for these then whine that 'it's a item in the book'.
Simple. Give the bbeg more hp? Like on the spot. You don't need to make something die when you reach a predetermined number of damage.

Fake outrage is fake
Pretty sure there’s AI art in the Keys from the Golden Vault too.
I wanna see AI take a run at Bigby's Hand. That might be truly terrifying.

i see they got Erika to do The Voice
i love you guys
I’m simple
I see blm, I watch
Is it bad i had to keep myself from cheering?
1:48:15 Bovine intervention.
33:47 did she just cast “fugg cloud?”
Good panel playing.

This will never be that kind of small company.
How do I find such events in the list?
This should have came out along side storm kings thunder.
Stonebones can help with hidden lore, but not with the lore of being hidden.
I bet it felt super awkward DMing to people sitting on your left and right instead of in front of you. Too bad couldn't do a \__/ arrangement because even the players are constantly looking away from the direction of the crowd.
Feels like jeremy crawford is doing a bad george takei impression lol
lmfao look at how hard they had to blur the AI "art"
Ghaaaa. To support or not to support…
my dog eats raw chicken, bones & all every day. Just saying. Raw food.
Game theory? Like the RUclips channel?
The constant camera wobble is gets more annoying the longer I watch, but I guess you have to make allowances for a small amateur production like this.
Who invented yellow dice with yellow numbers...
Why are people buying dice that you cannot read?
I bet this game would be a thousand times better played as a VTT game....I wonder why they didn't do it that way. (Sarcasm)
I miss the time of Force Grey, both the players and Mercer or Perkins directing, some games with a much higher quality. No intent to offend anyone in this game.
Wow....RIP D&D
Was the sight of females too unusual for you?
@@dhdurhueur-qe5pnYeah, I mean TWO WHOLE WOMEN?!
I'm genuinely interested in what about this makes you think D&D died?
Like going into this as a fan of 3 or 4 of the cast, and knowing its constrained by the time slot of a convention panel... its OK.
Its not amazing. But it can't be said to have killed the medium, that seems crazy.
Too scripted, and way too obviously at that.
Have you ever seen or been to a convention panel with live play?
You don’t play D&D do you?
