Players love tormenting DMs asking details about minor characters. You ask them for a NAME when they're in disguise and the sheer unmitigated panic can sustain me for maybe a week.
you might want to know that matt has a list of typical racial names behind his screen ready in case the cast ask the name of a random NPC. he revealed this in his GM tips series
That is the Jester way! All with the purest intentions, she accidentally believes in her imaginary friend so hard he becomes nearly a _GOD,_ she stumbles her way into gaining the favor of her very dangerous absent mob-boss father, doops an ancient magical Hag into a completely one-sided deal with the power of friendship (and mind-control), defiles a sacred statue and nearly gets arrested at every turn including a Mission Impossible level foot chase but makes a SOLIDLY CLEAN ESCAPE. Out of every outcome of all her shinanigans, the most bizarre and irregular one is her backstory that forced her to leave her home to avoid arrest/execution for pantsing the duke guy. If that played out in-game, _it just straight up wouldn't have happened like that and she probably would have been fine._ Tell me I'm wrong.
I LOVE how you draw the characters actually reacting when the cast members are dying, it's so good to see lmao (aka Fjord, it's always Fjord- especially in the moth clip 🤣) ❤️
computerscare actually in Media both sexes’ armor is to sexualize the character. It is less apparent in male armor than female, but it is still there. Most protagonist armors I can think of show off the man’s rippling muscles, which simply wouldn’t work as well as real armor. Bonus points if the character is ripped like a pro bodybuilder. Again, it is much more noticeable in females but still males are affected too.
Travis, Laura, Sam, and Marisha are honestly all Agents of Chaos when they want to be xD Grog and Scanlan were completely chaotic and now it's Jester, Beau, and Nott as the Chaos Crew XD
Jester is absolutely the type of person who would jump off a cliff and then try to figure out a way to land on the way down. I love how she throws herself into these situations with no plan and just bullshits her way out of them.
It causes me an almost palpable pain from some emotional nerve, but I have to leave the room during awkward parts of movies too so its mostly just me. Still love Jester but sometimes...that "I'm way too sober for this" is pretty accurate for me a lot of the time.
Just the fact that she went into this almost on a whim with no plan and somehow managed to bullshit her way out of any consequence on her part is honestly inspirational. Like I can't tell how much of this is Matt knowing the player and giving her some leeway and how much is purely Jester genuinely managing to stay one step ahead despite making up almost all of her moves on the spot.
God watching this never gets old. Everything from the animation to the editing to the absolute legendary choice of music is just so perfect from beginning to end 🤣🤣🤣
The way Laura talked when she is trying to say something but doesnt know what to say and just word vomits LOL Comedy Gold! "Dont- shoootANYthing WITH a BUNCH of MOUTHS ok GuhBYE!"
Jester: "Bwa... Uh... I am... Uh... Fellow person in the army that we... Who are we again? Oh yeah. I totes fit in here." The entire army after failing their perception checks: "Huh, normal thing here. Here's our entire scheme."
Amazing! Glad to catch another one so early! Keep charming our hearts with delightful degree, For it is Jester Lavore that we love to see, Combined with the humour you add to the scene, We're left watching for details with eyes so keen! (I particularly liked the implied large scale detonation, instead of showing it onscreen. Nice touch!)
@@jesterssketchbook Happy to help :). Poetry and rhyming still brings so much life to the fun of role play that it's perfect for the TTRPG community. Would you be ok if I shared where I play my bard? I'd love to have more people hear the story we tell on stream and the rhyming that definitely happens.
So I'll admit that Jester's Sketchbook is not 90% of what I look at on RUclips. But it is exactly 90% of the anticipation I have when I log on to RUclips. I am absurdly delighted to find a new one, and I watch every single one every single month, at least. And it makes me happy. ...tbh I'm not sure why I'm telling you on this day and with this vid... But thank you! No Jester. That is not butt-thankyou.
wow thanks Dan, i have youtubers that give me that feeling too - to hear you feel that about my videos is crazy - glad i bring enjoyment to you with my scribbles!
I have to say you're probably my favorite crit role animator. You manage to add so much extra humor and life to the scenes for a truly hilarious result
I swear to god I love Jester and Laura is practically my D&D spirit animal but sometimes when she pulls this shit I wanna shake my first in the air and go "SHE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!"
This is excellent! You rock! Just a thought, have you ever thought of doing a cool fight scene where some one gets the coveted "how do you want to do this"? And animate the super sick destruction of a foe.
ive done a sound-edit of beau versus Lorenzo - focused on the fighting moves and destruction, so eventually it will get animated. Im just enjoying the comedy ones as i learn to animate at the moment tho
@@jesterssketchbook (not to discourage you from doing this, but if you ever work on a commercialised series, please do not work for free. It would be a waste of talent, and downright disrespectful not to pay you for your time)
Just binge watched your channel. Amazing stuff. Please make more. You should send some of these videos to the crew, maybe on Twitter. Laura'd love them all. (I'm Italian, sorry for eventual mispells)
She left just as she arrived.... really weird and awkwardly
lolool deddd

lol omg
Oh how the turns have tabled lmao
Well... That's just revenge for all the times the players ask ask about nameless NPC number 36....
I feel like I prep more as a player than I do as a DM for this very reason.
you might want to know that matt has a list of typical racial names behind his screen ready in case the cast ask the name of a random NPC. he revealed this in his GM tips series
I appreciate that Jester seems to have gone for a more "historical" interpretation of Drow armor lol. But seriously nice work!
thanks Sentinel
Newman reference?
Taking inspiration from "Tusk Love" perhaps.
I love how Jester falls ass backwards into everything and still lands on her feet.
Luck is a hidden stat
That is the Jester way! All with the purest intentions, she accidentally believes in her imaginary friend so hard he becomes nearly a _GOD,_ she stumbles her way into gaining the favor of her very dangerous absent mob-boss father, doops an ancient magical Hag into a completely one-sided deal with the power of friendship (and mind-control), defiles a sacred statue and nearly gets arrested at every turn including a Mission Impossible level foot chase but makes a SOLIDLY CLEAN ESCAPE.

@No Chance Without Pasta Hahaha, someone's gonna think it was Tiamat cultists (Didn't some people from C1 have connections to that?)
@No Chance Without Pasta Just imagine that being brought back up after this long and they have to fight a dragon goddess
@No Chance Without Pasta Arkhan was a follower of Tiamat, too.
I love how Jester started the conversation with a British/American accent and by the end of it was back to her normal voice. xD
hahah so accurate
It's great acting because Laura is such an amazing voice actor she could easily do another accent but messes it up to stay in character
"What the f#$k was that?"
Yeah, me too. I adore Jester but damn that Tiefling is so damn chaotic lol.
"I don't know, but I'm way too sober for this."
If that doesn't show that dark elves are really just like everybody else... XD
The Traveler picked her well.
Ya so far I could imagine a chaotic party with grog, scandline, jester so far as alot of fun
@@trueRocc Counterpoint to that. a party with Scanlan and Jester, but with the bonus guests of *Fearne* and *Chetney.* LET CHAOS REIGN!
Kryn guard: "So can I help you?"
Jester: "Oh yeah I'm supposed to operate it"
*Stumbles backward into ballista, accidently setting it off*
I LOVE how you draw the characters actually reacting when the cast members are dying, it's so good to see lmao (aka Fjord, it's always Fjord- especially in the moth clip 🤣) ❤️
fjord has a really good "this is going terrible" laugh
I like how you can deduce jester is trying to sexualize her character again because there is a woman soilder right behind her back in a full boy armor
well spotted
armor is just armor
@computerscare I actually misspelled "body" armor :__)
computerscare actually in Media both sexes’ armor is to sexualize the character. It is less apparent in male armor than female, but it is still there. Most protagonist armors I can think of show off the man’s rippling muscles, which simply wouldn’t work as well as real armor.

Blueberry shortcake i’m a fan of the touch that she definitely got her idea from that shitty smut novel she read
Man that hair flip is just dangerous
People say that Sam is an agent of Chaos, but JESTER is the protege of Chaotic Neutral incarnate.
Travis, Laura, Sam, and Marisha are honestly all Agents of Chaos when they want to be xD Grog and Scanlan were completely chaotic and now it's Jester, Beau, and Nott as the Chaos Crew XD
Jester-pure Chaos
Nott/Sam- Chaos but with Direction
Awe the Traveler at the end.
Jester is absolutely the type of person who would jump off a cliff and then try to figure out a way to land on the way down. I love how she throws herself into these situations with no plan and just bullshits her way out of them.
I Mean She Could Always

@@ninjadrew1033 It's fiiiine, they're practically GODS!
"Scoot. Scoot. You need to scoot on out of here. **dabs** "
"Scoot. **one handed shoo-ing** "
It causes me an almost palpable pain from some emotional nerve, but I have to leave the room during awkward parts of movies too so its mostly just me. Still love Jester but sometimes...that "I'm way too sober for this" is pretty accurate for me a lot of the time.
Just as the Traveler intends.
Just the fact that she went into this almost on a whim with no plan and somehow managed to bullshit her way out of any consequence on her part is honestly inspirational. Like I can't tell how much of this is Matt knowing the player and giving her some leeway and how much is purely Jester genuinely managing to stay one step ahead despite making up almost all of her moves on the spot.
I believe the phrase that best describes this phenomenon best is, "If I don't know what I am doing, then they certainly don't either!"
God watching this never gets old. Everything from the animation to the editing to the absolute legendary choice of music is just so perfect from beginning to end 🤣🤣🤣
Standing at attention to the Traveler is the icing on the cake
0:50 Jester.exe has stopped responding.
just a slight stumble :D
Now just need Jester vs the World, Jester fighting all exs by confuzling them with polymorph, perfection.
:D
I LOVE THAT MOVIE
@@mrunknown138 Same! Such good movie!
@@Grimrai悲壮ライPlay my favorite scene is when Scott jumps through the window. (I think i watched it more then 10 times)
I love Caduceus' blank-yet-permanently-puzzled expression.
the outside world is weird to Firbolg eyes :D
I love how you draw them. Their facial expressions are just amazing. Perfection.
thx sly
I lost it at 0:45 "I did not think this out"
1000% on point.
FAN GIRLING OVER THE FACT THAT YOU USED "BRITISH GRENADIERS" AS THE MUSIC FOR THE SOLDIERS! SUCH FINE QUALITY IN THIS VIDEO!! HUZZAH!
I remember Math saying: they believe that is really your name and now just feel sorry for you.
lolol Nancy McFancypants was BELIEVED? i forgot that part lol
You never fail to bring so many more layers of comedy with these animations. So fantastic.
1:27 This is amazing! I love that quick cut of music with the superimposed hair-swoosh. Perfect comedic timing.
And she's hot.
The way Laura talked when she is trying to say something but doesnt know what to say and just word vomits LOL Comedy Gold! "Dont- shoootANYthing WITH a BUNCH of MOUTHS ok GuhBYE!"
yup theres a reason they hire her for voice-acting - her talent is immense
I would love to see the cupcake incident in your art style! I hope that's on your list of things to animate!
hmmm, that hag WOULD be fun to draw (thinking emoji)
The facial expressions are soooo good!
love the ballista shot! good work
Jester: "Bwa... Uh... I am... Uh... Fellow person in the army that we... Who are we again? Oh yeah. I totes fit in here."
The entire army after failing their perception checks: "Huh, normal thing here. Here's our entire scheme."
I loved the results of the ballista shot
Amazing! Glad to catch another one so early!

and thanks i always need inspiration

Would you be ok if I shared where I play my bard? I'd love to have more people hear the story we tell on stream and the rhyming that definitely happens.
Wow, these just keep getting better and I love how you show the rest of the gang, trying to keep it together, while some plan goes terribly downhill

I love that Nancy McFancypants is her go to Nom De Gare
"I am far too sober for this."
I have to say you're probably my favorite crit role animator. You manage to add so much extra humor and life to the scenes for a truly hilarious result

lololol
The music... I lost it. Please make more ! This is the funniest stuff I've seen .😂😂😂

"Dudedudedude... check her out..."
lolool
@@jesterssketchbook lol I knew there was gonna be a comment like this bro
I'm just waiting for the scene with water sking Jester from episode 101 lol
"Oh, I've got a name. And, it's a [soldier's] name, too."
0:23 That dude reaction man. Gets me every time.
The animation is great, of course, but I love the additional editing as well. *Chef kiss* Most fan animations/animatics don't do that.
Amazing as ever. Keep up the good work :)
0:44 DM: What’s your name?
PC: Uhhhh…
DM: YES! *That’s* what it feels like!
i wonder why matt put her on the spot like that? hmmmm
xD
We need more of Jester & Nott detective work, particularly A Hole in the Plan would be especially fun to see
Ahh fantasy armour. How I adore thee
This is SO GOOD OMG
I am so happy that you make this art, it is amazing how hard you work. Thanks you it’s so nice to know that Try to make these animations

ahhh i love artegan at the end just watching this go down
Your animations are always so good!!!
Thanks Jake, always good to hear Critters enjoy my scribbles
@@jesterssketchbook I think the best is the blank expressions you give the characters. They're always hilarious and always catch me off guard.
You get better and better every video it’s nuts to watch!
This is so adorably animated :D thanks for making it!
Man this moment is made so much more fucking funnier by your editing and background visual humour. Really this is amazing!
I literally have tears in my eyes and my face hurts from smiling XD This was way funnier than what I imagined
apologies :D
YEEEEESS! You have NO idea how long I have been waiting for another one of these animations!

Love your animation work of this... Keep up the good work.

Love iiiiiit! Your animations are always so awesome, but I love the extra details, especially the little Traveller salute at the end.
haha thanks Mi Mo, glad you enjoyed it :P
Ahhhhhhh thank you for another amazing upload! :D
I loved that scene. Thanks for this.
When is the Kickstarter for this Amazon prime series?
idk but id work for free :D
@@jesterssketchbook well I bet plenty will be glad to pay to see more. If a patreon link would help more of these get made then drop that link!

The Traveler be praised.
The "rolls 21" killed me that was hilarious
lol thanks Owen
Is the music in the end the british grenadier march version from Deponia? Sounded so odly familiar... :)
its the british grenadier but not from Deponia
I got into a two-week fight saying hair whoosh work irl. On the last day talked to a girl I know to do it. We took this man for his lunch.
Omg this is amazing
That was great I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel
likewise :)
I love your animations so much!!!
whoa thanks Appa
There's a McFancypants in all of our groups, Jesters just an OG version
see you next time critters!
barely audible jester: oww my pancreas!
lol the pancreas bit isnt even in that episode - i just liked how random it was xD
@@jesterssketchbook ohh i definently got a chuckle out of it, i had to rewatch it cause i thought i heard it but i needed to make sure lol.
Always love seeing you have a new video! And I love how your channel has grown. Keep up the good work!
thanks glenn - its easy to put the work in tho - i love the mighty nein so much :D
Perfect, as always
