Sentry is honestly a top tier role player that whole sentry not understanding naming conversations and then putting in all that effort to come up with mathew I love it honestly
Honestly true whenever they're all dressed up they seem to glow you know? (And sorry to mark if they don't use they/them pronouns didn't want to assume and they seems most versatile)
Some of my favorit bits [SPOILERS] 7:19 "Lasagne" 15:07" Orcs are smelly" 15:38 "Dorc" 33:30 Quill noise 36:20 "I don't like to give any of my characters flaws" 43:29 Matthew 45:54 " No I fell in a puddle" 49:07 "I'm your son" 49:49 Sentry don't really get the game 52:31 Families aren't always easy 55:09 Aila being Aila 58:26 Trott working through Lucius problems in DnD in DnD 1:04:45 "River dance" 1:05:52 Exploding dice 1:07:38 Quill really hit a nerve 1:08:44 "Don't hit me" 1:12:30 The most Rhiannon round ever 1:30:38 Mommy and daddy are fighting 1:35:56 "Mommy, mom mom" 1:52:52 "I never passed out before" 2:00:07 "Chris Trott corrected Kim" 2:08:00 World's fastest river 2:11:13 Matthew's tragic ending 2:13:20 "Not everyone" oof I mostly did this so that I could go back to my favorit bits. But I tought some people might also find it helpfull, so here you go😊
This is incredible. I love the detail that once Quill has discovered the trick of making up a personal history with NPCs, the go-to tactic remains that Lucius's character specifically is their friend and just the most popular guard ever.
Oh my god, the crew just straight up bullying Mark is just golden! I think this is the most awesome and funny one-shot of Highrollers that have ever been!
Some of my favourite lines: 2:00:32 "I always knew you had a kind heart, 'Evil Spirit'." 2:07:55 Sentry - "The log from earlier, is that still there?" Rosemeadow - "No, It's floated away!" Sentry - "Oh no!" Quill - "How far?" Rosemeadow - *rolls* "...One hundred and eighty miles." 2:11:49 Quill - "[Matthew is] In the river?" Rosemeadow - "Uh huh." Quill - "W- uh... at the rate that the water is going... Matthew's gone." Rosemeadow - "...He goes sixty miles downstream."
As soon as Blacksmiths and Bakers came up in conversation in the main game I desperately hoped they would do a nested DnD session. 10/10 worth every second of it. nothing like being a player playing a character trying to play another character
I was kind of worried when I clicked this and the vid started but as soon they started creating the characters I was rolling with laughter (literally my neighbors started knocking as I was laughing so loud). I feel sorry for Mark because the crew was derailing this so hard yet it was spot on. I remember introducing my non-nerd friends to D&D and its exactly how it looked. Great episode! I love this show!
14:10 Lucius and Aila sharing a brain cell Edit: I'm loving Katie's approach, putting all her points into Strength and wanting her talent to be fighting things. Such an Aila move. Also Sentry thinking humans are filthy with shit in their hair and scared of the dark is hilarious. Double edit: this whole thing is hilarious. I love the idea that Quill with his super high insight can tell Lucius is fucked up so he's trying to be kind, meanwhile Nova is just really into the RP.
Awesome rp from everyone. The Lucius trauma is great! Quills terrible voice and playing into trotts rp! Alla incapable to imagine things and playing herself as an orc! Sentry faking human stuff as Mathew and her terrible rolls! Nova all about the rules and her character looking exactly like Alla! Marks perfect rp as rosemeadow! So much fun!
Lucius “ Orcs are smelly” Also Lucius: Has a half Orc as a first mate Also I feel like we’re learning waaay more about Lucius’s dad more in the this one shot than the whole campaign lol 😂 I feel so bad for Rosemeadow Okay last edit I don’t promise: I wanna see them be level 20 in this game and their all master role player and Rosemeadow is a master SM. I want them to be like the canon critical roll/high rollers in Aerois lol
THE PARALLELS (Aerois spoilers) - It’s so funny how Quasar and Dargal are arguing considering Nova and Quill’s inter party conflict - Matthew dies first….. YOU KNOW - People consistently getting Dargal’s name wrong because everyone mispronounces Qillek 90% of the time
This was honestly so perfect. The level of roleplay from all of the cast was absolutely amazing. Especially the part about the river had me laughing in tears for a good while.
After this I can't wait to see the first Aerois episode in the new studio! The online sessions are also great, but there's a special kind of energy when you're all sitting at the table together. Loving it!
I listened to the podcast but wanted to come over and tell you that I loved this. It was so meta! I especially loved Marc being so true to character and not dm’ing it like he usually does (which I also love). A bit more shenanigans is a cool thing for this one-off.
This was absolutely brilliant on every level! As soon as this idea came up in the stream, I wished you would do it and you really took it way above and beyond! This is why High Rollers is the best DnD show - being able to roleplay within a roleplay, while staying perfectly in character, squeezing in so many beginner memes and inside jokes and Mark handling it all amazingly like the master DM he is
I love when you guys are all back in person I still love the online ones but these just have a special energy that makes me want the chaos twins back even more
I may just be weird (I’m weird), but I haven’t consistently laughed that much in a while. Really should not have listened to this on headphones while shopping - laughing out loud by the carrots and seeing people slowly move away…
What a hot mess; I love it. I can’t wait to see the second episode where Aila has to make a fancy dress for the mayor. The fact that a dice roll made Sentry a guard. Sentry and guard are synonyms so it was just so funny.
It feels like the Christmas toy one shot was barely a few months ago and now we get another one shot Christmas masterpiece. I wonder if any incredible merch will arise from this one.
I feel this one so much. Played a chaotic one shot of Kobold's Endeavour that turned out very much like Rosemeadow's game. Players realised my weakness, found all the loopholes 😅😂 Such a laugh. Fab job guys. The inception levels were amazing. When Trott's character asks how the new guard knew he had a mom and dad... ow my heart. Poor Lucius! 😅😍
My group used to have a joke where at every tavern, there was a grizzled adventuring group that was playing a game called Houses and Humans, and one time, a tavern party went meta and had their H and H characters play Mansions and Mimics. I miss those times.
2:15:28 Mark admits "I guess I can say I'm a decent Dungeon Master". Mark that is the understatement of the year. When I think of my favorite DMs to watch, Mark Hulmes is definitely top 10. You are at the level of Matt Mercer, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jasmine Bhullar, B. Dave Walters, Katie Mae (@okkatiemae I don't know her last name), Mike Meers, Aabria Iyengar, Liam Obrien, Becca Scott, there's probably others that are not coming to my mind right now, but all of you are amazing at story telling, world building, and setting the tone and keeping immersion in my book. There is a reason that so many people keep tuning in to High Rollers to watch/listen as well as other projects like Nights of Evening Star. It is ok for you to say, I am a great Dungeon Master. Some are better and worse at voices, but while voices are fun, the real fun for me is the story, the love, the pain, the triumph over adversity. Don't sell yourself short. Anyone who can run a homebrew campaign that spans years has to already be amazing at writing/story telling, and to keep an audience for this many years, I think you should come out and admit, Mark Hulmes is a Great DM!!
Poor Mark. They did not make it easy for you. With friends like that ;) .... ( You look lovely by the way!) Also, poor Rosemeadow will never want to GM again. *Hugs*.
I always listen to this in podcast format, but for this episode I just had to come watch it on video it seemed like it was going to be too funny to just listen.
How does Quill drink a glass of water? Does he turn his head sideways and pour it in his beak? Does he dip his beak into the cup like one of those desk toppers? Does he try to drink it normal like a real person? I need to know how this works!
Might Mark be interested in uploading his homebrews to change the MLP ttrpg to Bakers and Blacksmiths on his patreon or something? I'd love to run this in my home game. This feels like such an excellent opportunity to do some ridiculous in character bonding.
I honestly don't know how Mark wears that thing for so long. I can go like an hour in one before I'm just drenched underneath. Those things get hot even when you got AC
Sentry is honestly a top tier role player that whole sentry not understanding naming conversations and then putting in all that effort to come up with mathew I love it honestly
Lucius: "How did you know I had a mum and dad?"
Rosemeadow: "Because everyone does."
Lucius: "Not everyone..."
The awkwardness of first time roleplayers that has been captured is too bloody accurate.
Mark, you're really the Centaur of attention!
i hate it
Loving the Rosemeadow Mark, you look BEAUTIFUL 🌟
I know right
Honestly true whenever they're all dressed up they seem to glow you know?
(And sorry to mark if they don't use they/them pronouns didn't want to assume and they seems most versatile)
Super robot Sentry's version of a human is brilliant: dirty and afraid of the dark 🤣
Rhi looks like if Cruella DiVille had a daughter that turned out to be a complete angel.
EDIT: Someone needs to cast this woman in Descendants!!
OMG this is so good/bad since the actor who played her son (Cameron Boyce) passed away
Poor Lucius is in dire need of therapy 😢 and of course Nova is a rules lawyer min maxer 😂
Some of my favorit bits [SPOILERS]
7:19 "Lasagne"
15:07" Orcs are smelly"
15:38 "Dorc"
33:30 Quill noise
36:20 "I don't like to give any of my characters flaws"
43:29 Matthew
45:54 " No I fell in a puddle"
49:07 "I'm your son"
49:49 Sentry don't really get the game
52:31 Families aren't always easy
55:09 Aila being Aila
58:26 Trott working through Lucius problems in DnD in DnD
1:04:45 "River dance"
1:05:52 Exploding dice
1:07:38 Quill really hit a nerve
1:08:44 "Don't hit me"
1:12:30 The most Rhiannon round ever
1:30:38 Mommy and daddy are fighting
1:35:56 "Mommy, mom mom"
1:52:52 "I never passed out before"
2:00:07 "Chris Trott corrected Kim"
2:08:00 World's fastest river
2:11:13 Matthew's tragic ending
2:13:20 "Not everyone" oof
I mostly did this so that I could go back to my favorit bits.
But I tought some people might also find it helpfull, so here you go😊
You awesome!
@@pr_manager the "not everyone" moment was so incredible. Soul destroying and hilarious all at once.
@@lorde_spooky definitely!
Thanks! :)
Bless
Was on the podcast, came here to watch this all over again for the physical madness of it all
Same
This is incredible. I love the detail that once Quill has discovered the trick of making up a personal history with NPCs, the go-to tactic remains that Lucius's character specifically is their friend and just the most popular guard ever.
Y'all totally need to play this again where you level up and all the aroes characters have a year of experience of playing Bakers and Blacksmiths
Oh my god, the crew just straight up bullying Mark is just golden! I think this is the most awesome and funny one-shot of Highrollers that have ever been!
Some of my favourite lines:
2:00:32 "I always knew you had a kind heart, 'Evil Spirit'."

Can we get some "Crying's a free action" merch please?
It's actually a reference to another stream. Only Perkins can make them.
It's actually a reference to another stream. Only Perkins can make them.
I'm dying... was out walking in the snow, and laughed so hard at "crying is a free action" that I fell into a snowdrift... gods...
Trott just derailed the entire campaign through backstory :)
High Rollers, has been getting more and more meta and crazy, as this year has gone on, and I love it
Mark looks absolutely g o r g e o u s
Omg Mark as Rosemeadow is beautiful!!!
As soon as Blacksmiths and Bakers came up in conversation in the main game I desperately hoped they would do a nested DnD session. 10/10 worth every second of it. nothing like being a player playing a character trying to play another character

Rhi's perfect RP with the name had me on the floor. Absolutely brilliant😂😂😂

Lucius “ Orcs are smelly”
Also Lucius: Has a half Orc as a first mate
Also I feel like we’re learning waaay more about Lucius’s dad more in the this one shot than the whole campaign lol 😂
I feel so bad for Rosemeadow
Okay last edit I don’t promise: I wanna see them be level 20 in this game and their all master role player and Rosemeadow is a master SM. I want them to be like the canon critical roll/high rollers in Aerois lol
Or luciuses unconcious biases.
I love that Lucious realized his racist bias and stopped himself. More people should consider doing that.
SEE players giving even VIRTUAL DMs a hard time!
Mark and Rosemeadow go drinking after the support group.
I do love the time of years when Mark dresses feminine
What better gift for holiday than Mark crossdressing
🤨
its really sweet how lucius tried to make everyone a big family in the b&b game because all his are dead
"Arriya is different....shes one of the good ones...."
Oh gawd! Lucius sounds like my grandpa.
I feel so bad for Rosemeadow in a strangely meta way 😂
Trott and his rolls are giving that Key & Peele D&D sketch
THE PARALLELS (Aerois spoilers)
- It’s so funny how Quasar and Dargal are arguing considering Nova and Quill’s inter party conflict
- Matthew dies first….. YOU KNOW
- People consistently getting Dargal’s name wrong because everyone mispronounces Qillek 90% of the time
I enjoy seeing Tails of Equestria being used as the basis for BnB.
Also, mark was gorgeous as ever here. Many hearts!!!
That was a really riveting DND session! Happy holidays to y'all!
Amazing as always and Mark DOES look fantastic.
Rosemeadow: Anyway... Okay...
Love this so much lol!
This was honestly so perfect. The level of roleplay from all of the cast was absolutely amazing. Especially the part about the river had me laughing in tears for a good while.
After this I can't wait to see the first Aerois episode in the new studio! The online sessions are also great, but there's a special kind of energy when you're all sitting at the table together. Loving it!
I knew as soon as Rhi named her character that this was gonna be a weird episode for me
I listened to the podcast but wanted to come over and tell you that I loved this. It was so meta! I especially loved Marc being so true to character and not dm’ing it like he usually does (which I also love). A bit more shenanigans is a cool thing for this one-off.
I hope the new studio has some soundproofing, i forgot how echoey the in person games were! Excited to get back to them though.
This was absolutely brilliant on every level! As soon as this idea came up in the stream, I wished you would do it and you really took it way above and beyond! This is why High Rollers is the best DnD show - being able to roleplay within a roleplay, while staying perfectly in character, squeezing in so many beginner memes and inside jokes and Mark handling it all amazingly like the master DM he is
I love when you guys are all back in person I still love the online ones but these just have a special energy that makes me want the chaos twins back even more
Marks cosplay are always way to good.
this is so meta i love it!
I may just be weird (I’m weird), but I haven’t consistently laughed that much in a while.
Really should not have listened to this on headphones while shopping - laughing out loud by the carrots and seeing people slowly move away…
What a hot mess; I love it. I can’t wait to see the second episode where Aila has to make a fancy dress for the mayor. The fact that a dice roll made Sentry a guard. Sentry and guard are synonyms so it was just so funny.
I just simply love you guys, you’re all awesome people. Thank you for sharing your fun adventures with us all
PLEASE PUT "CRYING IS A FREE ACTION" ON A T SHIRT I NEEED IT!!!
It's already a lot of t-shirts. I think the quote originated with Chris Perkins in DCA.
@@MusesWhim oh cool! 😊
Amazing, I was hoping they'd do this as soon as it came up in a previous stream. I love how Sentry roleplayed a human, pure gold from Rhi
My human skin is so cold!
Crying's a free action.
It feels like the Christmas toy one shot was barely a few months ago and now we get another one shot Christmas masterpiece. I wonder if any incredible merch will arise from this one.
2:11:50 OMG IM CRYING.... I HAVEN'T LAUGHED THAT MUCH IN A LOOOONG TIME
Trott derailing this whole campaign is my favourite thing ever
Role playing an RPG is pretty hilarious.
"crying's a free action". This entire thing was amazing
I feel so bad for Mark's voice after this. I'd be surprised if he was able to talk the day after this. Here's hoping he didn't hurt himself too badly
Oh don't worry the Rosemeadow voice doesn't do a dent. Voice was completely fine! :D
I feel this one so much. Played a chaotic one shot of Kobold's Endeavour that turned out very much like Rosemeadow's game. Players realised my weakness, found all the loopholes 😅😂 Such a laugh. Fab job guys. The inception levels were amazing. When Trott's character asks how the new guard knew he had a mom and dad... ow my heart. Poor Lucius! 😅😍
I love when they suddenly decide they’ve lost all intelligence
This. Is. Amazing. Thank you for uploading!
This is everything I hoped it would be.
Poor Mark, they are relentless in this lol
My group used to have a joke where at every tavern, there was a grizzled adventuring group that was playing a game called Houses and Humans, and one time, a tavern party went meta and had their H and H characters play Mansions and Mimics. I miss those times.
Honestly this scenario is one that should be played outside of the meta dnd in dnd scenario
I would like to cry as my character, what do I roll??? lololololol Trott playing Lucius to a T I love it.
I am here for this festive photo-of-a-box-with-a-photo-of-a-box-on-it nonsense. :D
I’m waiting for when they make an Aerois Netflix series and this will be the best episode ever.

So much fun and funny 😉 love it, thank gang!
Poor Mark. They did not make it easy for you. With friends like that ;) .... ( You look lovely by the way!)
Also, poor Rosemeadow will never want to GM again. *Hugs*.
Petition to make Mark upload BNB rules to his patreon or Highrollers Patreon
I think it's a slightly renamed/retooled version of the mlp ttrpg
I think because it's just a retool of the my little pony rpg it would be better if he just uploaded his changes.
This is gold
Rosemarkdow is too pure
Utter madness an I love it soooooo much!
I really loved the way the game got away from rosemeadow, and Marc just went with it!
Mark you are absolutely stunning sir/milady
This is amazing!!
Three lefties? Amazing
I love mark's oufit so much
Who is this gorgeous DM
Laughed so hard my stomach hurt at the ending
I always listen to this in podcast format, but for this episode I just had to come watch it on video it seemed like it was going to be too funny to just listen.
How does Quill drink a glass of water?
Does he turn his head sideways and pour it in his beak?
Does he dip his beak into the cup like one of those desk toppers?
Does he try to drink it normal like a real person?
I need to know how this works!
it's in bird person culture to carry around their special drinking straw XD
Crunchity Munchity of course
It was established early on but i dont remember what he said.
Rosemeadow is wonderful and mark is so pretty
Mark's gender play is always so adorable .
rhi looks like a hipster cruella i love it
Might Mark be interested in uploading his homebrews to change the MLP ttrpg to Bakers and Blacksmiths on his patreon or something? I'd love to run this in my home game.
This feels like such an excellent opportunity to do some ridiculous in character bonding.
Mark killin it!
mark dressed as Rose meadow looks just like my mom and i don't know how to feel
Tell your mom hi
Out of curiosity, what’s your mum’s phone number? Asking for a friend!
Get her to DM for you
Not me going boogey woogey the same time as Trott...
o'0H my jolly goodness! ... i lost the words to discribe this,
Welcome to dungeons and traumatics
Crying is a free action 😂😂😂
cryings a free action
Mark always droppen fire crossdressing
Xarkira Mark looks like he could be Katie's cousin. Change my mind.
I honestly don't know how Mark wears that thing for so long. I can go like an hour in one before I'm just drenched underneath. Those things get hot even when you got AC
practise!
This is so meta!
