Totally worth it for the added effect. I'd understand not doing it if it wasn't recorded and nobody other than them saw it, but in this format.. they def should commit like this more often. So good.
Tbh I'd rather see Ethan in drag make up! The lion is way too over the top. It's TOO "real" and tbh I think him in just basic drag is funny enough and omg I remember when he was feeling himself in frenemies when he was in drag lol. I guess the lion covers up too much and would be nicer to see his face
you guys have been talking a lot about how these types of videos never do well, and while they’re gonna always get less views than a normal episode, i think they’re so much fun :) thank you crew !!
Even if they get less views this is the lighthearted content we all need more of. The podcast tends to get a bit depressive at times and we need some of this to balance it out :)
I would like them to do this with someone that has a lot of experience show DMing. No offense to Ian, I don’t think he did bad, but it’s a tall order to ask that he keeps them on track AND tells a fun story. They need someone who has done this a lot and can fine tune the murder hobo tendencies
But only maybe if they take it a little more seriously haha. As a DM myself I've had these players at my table and I can feel Dan's frustration at times haha. But would absolutely LOVE more of this
I will personally watch this 100,000 more times to get another episode. The art was so great and the whole video had me captivated. Please please make this a regular segment on the show.
Between Ethans full makeup, the fact that his name is Tiger the Lion, the smacking of his hammer on the table, and never breaking character is just so fucking funny to me
As a huge nerd and DnD fan and veteran listener of various DnD pods, this was great. Almost every campaign I've listened too the first handful of episodes are always a little bit awkward and uncomfortable as players learn their characters and their characters relationships and goals. With that being said, with this as a one shot the crews organic chemistry in Real life really carried the learning to play phase but with continuity this show would be such a hit I really hope you guys find a way to work this into a series. These campaigns can grow and evolve into such amazing stories.
Ethan’s mic in the braid is killing me. also I love to see our beloved intern Ian so much in his rightful position at the head of a table. he did awesome and is so funny, he would’ve been hilarious as a an actual character/player too i just know it. please do more eps like this 🫶🏻 so fun
Ethan has an incredible skill of finding amazingly talented co-hosts that mesh so well, with unique personalities, and are freaking FUNNY. I am grateful to see them all play a part and let them shine today. More more more! Ethan, you are a director of comedy and you have found your players.
Sometimes I think he should sometimes take more of the hint of the "yes, and" improv golden rule, and let his crew shine sometimes. Sometimes, he tends to interrupt them or shoot down their ideas.
@@woofiewill No, Ethan has golden sense of something boring and unfunny. When crew starts talking boring bs I feel happy and relieved when Ethan stops them. Also when Ethan goes to the bathroom it’s getting so boring (especially when AB starts talking some irrelevant shit that only he cares about). But when Ethan sees something funny that happened to the crew member and starts to interview them it’s super funny (like AB’s story about threesome, or Zack’s story about shitting on the lawn)
This was an epic episode, innit? I mean how many nat 20s did y'all throw out there?? (Weights in fish?) Love these characters, and I really hope we get to see them again in future campaigns! Also, shout out to Ian for his masterful DM performance and hoping for O-live's fairy druid to make an appearance next time. ✌️& ❤
Rarely do I watch an episode of ANYTHING on youtube from start to finish to completion - this was SO entertaining! I kept having to pause it to go be a stupid adult, and I would find myself thinking about where the story was headed and looking forward to watching the rest. You also inspired me to want to play with a group of friends. Great job! Please do more of these! Hats off to IAN for being an amazing DM (setting the bar super high btw) and to Dan for keeping the group on track!!
Please continue this campaign!!! I will become a member to watch more of this!!! And I have held out on becoming a member for 5 years. I need more H3 D&D!!
Loved it! Quick tip; with interactions that only certain players should hear, like the animals, make sure that you make clear that none of the other players should know what is being said or are able to speak to the creature. This adds a bunch to the role playing aspect since the players must relay the message in character!
@@rayrayray better mics and lights will do the magic. I’m not into it but if these two improve I will watch, I think there is much of comedic potential.
omg i thought i would hate this episode, but after listening to the story telling, im blown away at how ive used my imagination to conjure images of the storry being conveyed. loved it so much im watching dnd games on yt now.
This was so much fun. As someone who has definitely neglected reading fiction in my adulthood, it scratched my brain in just the right way to imagine/visualise the scenarios being described in game. I really hope we get another one next year! Have a great break guys, you deserve it :)
An insanely star studded supporting cast revealed at the end! Shout out to Raephemel, Allison(Ollie that one day), Cam, Jorel, & Tall Skeleton what an amazing group that brought so much extra life to this production.
Ian killed it as a first time DM! I don't usually like DND casts but I was locked in. The full makeup was so worth it and looks amazing! I'm dying to see a session with Olivia so bad
Weirdest thing I’ve tuned in to, as I have no context as to what any of this is. But much like the poker and not understanding that, I will stay tuned for the entire thing. Update: LOVED IT
I’m not even 20 minutes in & this is the best H3 I’ve seen in a long time, I could see this being a hoot even with guests getting involved. Huzzah! Well done!
Please do another Dungeons and Dragons video in the future! This was so refreshing. I personally have never played but its something i would be interested in now. I love all the dynamics between everyone and the costumes were amazing. I also love how they included extra creators for the art!
Omg today was my last day smoking before a much needed sober break. But I factored in getting high with this last episode. Thanks for not disappointing lol
omg Ian looks so stressed! being a dm is a big deal especially when it's his first time!! I very much appreciate the effort everyone put into this! gj guys!
This episode was AWESOME. I loved seeing everyone get so into it, incredible outfits. Shoutout to Ian for being such a natural DM! And to Tall Skeleton and Jorel for the animation. Y’all really killed it with this episode. I can’t wait to see you do this again with Olivia! She would kill this. Edit: just got to the credits. Cam worked on this, too??? Hell yes! Shout out to him and the other artists. Everyone who contributed to this deserves all the flowers. 10/10 vid
Thank you for having me on this project!!
Thanks for all you do for the show dude!❤
ethan attracts the most talented people!
W TALL SKELETON
🐐
That's sick! What did you do on the show? The intro, or?
Its so nice to see Ian in a main role, its been a while scince hes been on camera this much and ive missed his humour.
He's just the best, isn't he folks? 👏👏👏👏
You got me with your username 😭😭😭
I got cheated on and thought you’d all be gone, but thank you so much for this.
Love Ian ❤❤❤
RAWEST OF THE RAW
I now understand why Ethan couldn’t get his eyeliner off. This costume is so extreme. I’m obsessed. I love that he fully commits.
I love that he is such a costume girlie
Totally worth it for the added effect. I'd understand not doing it if it wasn't recorded and nobody other than them saw it, but in this format.. they def should commit like this more often. So good.

Weeds out the real fans from the casuals
Y cause it’s dumb and only appeals to children. This was worse than watching The lion, the witch and the wardrobe movie.
@Alex-ml3zxnarnia is awesome
@@CalibreCross”real fans” left in droves over the past year. The only ones left are sycophants that can’t think for themselves. Kind of like you.
it's so trippy seeing him as a lion warrior and then looking at his tiny hands 😭😭
*tiny paws
Humongous *
IM FUCKING CRYING
Tiny claws 😂😂😂
This was incredible. Most I've seen Ian smile in a while.
Ethan's makeup was amazing. Loved the art incorporated into it. Very very fun.
I CANNOT believe this is Ian’s first time as a DM. He’s a natural! Everybody crushed it
With the contacts, AB is Shay Jetty

He made some of the art for it!!
@@starkmensvag4629 that makes so much sense! his aura was present
I just miss my old friend
@@mhmyuh some birds just aren’t meant to be caged
Please, Ethan and the Crew, if you've ever loved us, if you've ever considered us family, please do another episode of this.
I would like them to do this with someone that has a lot of experience show DMing. No offense to Ian, I don’t think he did bad, but it’s a tall order to ask that he keeps them on track AND tells a fun story. They need someone who has done this a lot and can fine tune the murder hobo tendencies
Same.another episode please ❤
Lmao
But only maybe if they take it a little more seriously haha. As a DM myself I've had these players at my table and I can feel Dan's frustration at times haha. But would absolutely LOVE more of this
Agreeeeed I loved it soooo much!!!!!
ethans english/creative writing degree has prepared him for this moment
you mean his chatgpt degree
What I thought at the end of his opening speech
I will personally watch this 100,000 more times to get another episode. The art was so great and the whole video had me captivated. Please please make this a regular segment on the show.
Regular would be too much perhaps annually
I don't have Instagram, did they post the art there?i want to see each one in detail😭
@@Qu33nMusic maybe like two or three times a year? Something that doesn’t over do the segment but still gives content every once in awhile.
They gonna see 300k views and never pre record a single thing that requires this much effort ever again
I'd watch all of them too, it's relaxing
As an Ian Stan. I’m so happy to see him so much.
Ian enjoyers eating good today
More Ian the better
Same!! Ian’s my favorite crew member. Glad to see him more
Sorry but didn’t Ian support Kanye? A known anti semite?
Wasteland gang rise up
Dan and Ian are just so awesome. This episode really just reminded me how much they bring to the show. I couldn’t imagine h3 without them!
Ethan should wear that to the next poker tournament
Between Ethans full makeup, the fact that his name is Tiger the Lion, the smacking of his hammer on the table, and never breaking character is just so fucking funny to me
Holy fuck 1:38:15 is fucking sending me
The fact he hit the laptop once then proceeded to smash it is so good
I lost it when Tiger the Lion started barking like a dog 😂
He's kinda antagonistic for a paladin, a lot of times it feels like his chaotic allignment clashes with his oath :D Great character!
@@Makujah_yeah he picked the wrong back story for his character. Ethan is very chaotic by nature lol
everyone avoiding eye contact with ethan makes me think they're freaked out 😂😂
Dan did say he looked scary 😆
What eye contact there are no eyes 😂
Nevermind sorry there are eyes but still lol
Of course there are eyes 😂 are you LOOKING 👀 😂 it's so funny to see Ethan's "ticks" in the Lion character 🦁 🤣
I’m freaked out,, I can’t imagine how weird it would feel in person lmao
Incredible cast, immersve editing - so much fun!
This is my favourite H3 content ever, for real. PLEASE do this again. We need a Part 2.
As a huge nerd and DnD fan and veteran listener of various DnD pods, this was great.

These campaigns can grow and evolve into such amazing stories.
Also it would be criminal not to do this again w/o Oliv
Can you recommend some DnD pods?
The lion mask really brings out Ethan's hazels
It’s the black eye makeup 😍
Ethan’s mic in the braid is killing me. also I love to see our beloved intern Ian so much in his rightful position at the head of a table. he did awesome and is so funny, he would’ve been hilarious as a an actual character/player too i just know it. please do more eps like this 🫶🏻 so fun
Amazing ep. Ethan's character going on braggadocios monologues in the middle of danger is fantastic lmao
You can tell Ethan is a balders gate player and Dan in a IRL d&d player 😂
Sooooo true
Baldur's
@@coconejococonejobladders
Dan’s transition from “british” to new yorkian/italian accent when he is introducing his character is absolutely sending me
That and Ian's English sounds more Irish at times 😄 They are very entertaining, though! 😊
If u can call that british😂
😊
Even morphed into southern lawyer too😂
All I heard was Australian hahaahha
Ethan’s costume is so amazing this whole set is so cool I love this
Ethan has an incredible skill of finding amazingly talented co-hosts that mesh so well, with unique personalities, and are freaking FUNNY. I am grateful to see them all play a part and let them shine today. More more more! Ethan, you are a director of comedy and you have found your players.
Also that lion mask is KILLING ME.
Sometimes I think he should sometimes take more of the hint of the "yes, and" improv golden rule, and let his crew shine sometimes. Sometimes, he tends to interrupt them or shoot down their ideas.
@@iLove2Laugh76 my husband got a VR set and put this video on before giving me the headset to try out. I was JUMPSCARED my Lion-Ethan
@@woofiewill No, Ethan has golden sense of something boring and unfunny. When crew starts talking boring bs I feel happy and relieved when Ethan stops them.

But when Ethan sees something funny that happened to the crew member and starts to interview them it’s super funny (like AB’s story about threesome, or Zack’s story about shitting on the lawn)
@@BB-xl3ov completely disagree, I think ethan is the worst part of the podcast. He's constantly cutting off his crew and yelling at them lmao
Did i understand a single second of this? No. Did I enjoy every second? Yes.
This needs to be a thing, loved the costumes! And we need part 2 for Olivia to make an appearance
This was an epic episode, innit? I mean how many nat 20s did y'all throw out there?? (Weights in fish?) Love these characters, and I really hope we get to see them again in future campaigns! Also, shout out to Ian for his masterful DM performance and hoping for O-live's fairy druid to make an appearance next time. ✌️& ❤
Regular series pleaseeee! This is so well done! Would love to see Olivia in the next one
Itd probs be so hard to make this consistently but I wish
@@chancelord8052so true but I feel like an annual segment ?? That could be doable
As a theatre girl she'd yes and so well!!!!
Saturday adventure pod
So sad she was sick :(
please for the love of god, make this a regular segment, like a few times a year. this is amazing

Hats off to IAN for being an amazing DM (setting the bar super high btw) and to Dan for keeping the group on track!!
The greatest moment for me was when AB made a twilight joke, and Ethan got it. 😂❤️ love you all
ethan’s costume and prosthetics are SO SICK
I was dying during the gamersupps ad, ethan just staring down the camera in full lion makeup while talking about gamersupps lol
He’s so sincere I cannot handle it
Ironic they still have a gamersup sponsor considering the owner just had hassan on his podcast
@@ericthomas9005 Business is business, after all.
@@ericthomas9005you think GameerSupps wouldn’t sponsor the podcast because schlatt and Hasan are friendly?
GamerSupps has all the essential nutrients for a healthy mane
Please continue this campaign!!! I will become a member to watch more of this!!! And I have held out on becoming a member for 5 years. I need more H3 D&D!!
Not a D&D girly, still really enjoyed this video. My favorite part was seeing how much fun you all had together - and Zach got his headliner!!!
We do need the segment to come back so Olivia can have her performance of a lifetime!
Loved it! Quick tip; with interactions that only certain players should hear, like the animals, make sure that you make clear that none of the other players should know what is being said or are able to speak to the creature.

Thank you Ian
Happy Holidays 🎄
Hope you don't get sick ❤
I love Ethan casting "Compelled to duel spell" after Ian just said the enemies are scared and backing away for the first battle lmao
IAN THE SALARIED DUNGEON MASTER 🔥
I really loved Ian’s presence in this episode. He managed his role so well. I don’t know much about d&d but I’m sure he had to prepare a lot.
Man it really sucks that these sorts of episodes don’t do very well. It’s so nice when the crew is just hanging out having a good time 😭
Episodes that involve the crew always are my favourite, even if the topic is something I initially didn’t expect to be interested in
DnD is so niche tho
@@wanderoutdoors6094 playing pretend is universal
Yall better put this on repeat over break cuz I want a whole series if this
I'll be honest, I didn't think I'd enjoy this because I've never played D&D but...I'm really enjoying the adventure the crew is taking us on!! 😂
We
Everybody watch this five times so they keep doing it
On it
🫡
I will be watching this 5 times a day until they come back from break 🙈
But it’s terrible
@@rayrayray better mics and lights will do the magic. I’m not into it but if these two improve I will watch, I think there is much of comedic potential.
New comfort episode unlocked
already watched it 5 times 😂😭
Thanks!
omg i thought i would hate this episode, but after listening to the story telling, im blown away at how ive used my imagination to conjure images of the storry being conveyed. loved it so much im watching dnd games on yt now.
Critical Role is a great DnD show if you haven't seen it before.
Literally my thoughts exactly!!!
TFS at the table is one the funniest and best campaigns I've ever watched/listened to, highly recommend if you like the vibe of this video.
Please make this a regular series! This is so high production. Great job Ian, and happy holidays to everyone at H3💚❤️
Dan hitting us with the "oh and yeah I have a pistol" just for it to miss from 5 ft away is awesome
This was so much fun. As someone who has definitely neglected reading fiction in my adulthood, it scratched my brain in just the right way to imagine/visualise the scenarios being described in game. I really hope we get another one next year!
Have a great break guys, you deserve it :)
ah finally, i can watch this uninterrupted and with good attention, please more podcasts like this!!!! even casual dnd sessions would be awesome
So curious to know how Ethan's kids reacted to his costume, it's incredible!
I love the drawings of all the side characters, it’s such a great touch
An insanely star studded supporting cast revealed at the end! Shout out to Raephemel, Allison(Ollie that one day), Cam, Jorel, & Tall Skeleton what an amazing group that brought so much extra life to this production.
This episode reminded me why I love this group of people. Please do more of this.
Ethan: I stand for justice, but kill the wolves and birds, let’s talk it out with the goblin imps
Love that Cam got to be involved!
When?
@@babybellecheese9946lol the bird that got caught by the spiders
@@babybellecheese9946 He contributed to the art
I’m so thankful for a full episode with Ian on camera
Tiger, the Lion raised by Elks, first of his name.
And last of his kind.
Ian killed it as a first time DM! I don't usually like DND casts but I was locked in. The full makeup was so worth it and looks amazing! I'm dying to see a session with Olivia so bad
well now you simply have to do another one so we can see Olivia in her full druid fairy glory
This was the greatest thing ever, guys. I know this shit will get zero views like all the high-effort episodes do, but I loved it, thank you.
Weirdest thing I’ve tuned in to, as I have no context as to what any of this is. But much like the poker and not understanding that, I will stay tuned for the entire thing. Update: LOVED IT
I’m not even 20 minutes in & this is the best H3 I’ve seen in a long time, I could see this being a hoot even with guests getting involved.
Huzzah! Well done!
i NEED more of crew D&D pleeeaase
the rewatchability of this is much much higher than regular eps too!!
This was legitimately so fun, please do more things like this ❤
Wow Ethan costume is insane, I wonder how heavy it must feel.
I’ve been in a dark place all week. Thank you guys, this cheered me up
I hope things get better for you! Angels on your body!❤
❤❤❤
❤🫂
angels on your body ✋✊✋✊
❤❤ family
Living for the mic placement in Ethan’s hair.
Ian is a legend for this. The lion costume is truly a highlight. Cam helped with the art!
6:28 “jorking it” not even 10 minutes in and dan has me dead
"So youre a religious man?" "...no" 😂😂😂
This also made me giggle
as a Cuban I am 0% offended by AB doing the accent but it was also really bad hahahaha
I was more offended at him not wanting to do it just because he didn't want to offend anyone.
Isnt a universal thing that it’s a made up accent and Cubans do not sound like that
Ya he drifted from a NY Italian mobster to coooooba but that’s why we love him sm
@sweetttdisposition I feel like the accent is so far removed from Cuba and is literally a "scarface" accent.
Ethan’s mannerisms in this costume is the funniest, mind boggling thing
We need another one with fairy Olivia musical theater skills 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ethan’s makeup and costume is insanely good I’m so impressed!
Please do another Dungeons and Dragons video in the future! This was so refreshing. I personally have never played but its something i would be interested in now. I love all the dynamics between everyone and the costumes were amazing. I also love how they included extra creators for the art!
I have to say this is my favourite thing H3 has ever done ❤ Ian is such a natural storyteller, such fantastic work everyone!!
I have never experienced DND in any aspect of my life ever, and I fucking loved this. Thank you for always delivering 🙏 family
Finally got round to starting this ep after a busy Christmas, loving it so far! 😂
This might be the coolest ad break ever
Ethan’s lace is LAIDDDD 💅🏾 chew diva 🤏🏽
We need a part two. They never figured out what happened to the lunch/snack guy that they went on the quest to find in the first place.
Can we PLEASE get this animated 🤩🤩🤩
I love Ethan and ABs costumes lmao. I’m glad I waited to catch up on the show and watch this.
Omg today was my last day smoking before a much needed sober break. But I factored in getting high with this last episode. Thanks for not disappointing lol
I’m also taking a much needed break soon! We got this fam peace & love
Good luck on y’all’s break! You got it! FAMILY
I'm on day 3 from cigarettes, day five from weed! Cigarettes is permanent, weed is just one month ❤🎉
i'm high af myself bru
Drugs are bad
I love how Abs ears are on backwards
Enjoy ur break H3! We will miss u for these 2 weeks, but we need u refreshed for 2025! Enjoy! Happy Holidays ✌🏻❤️🎄
Everyone's character is fun to imagine, but a 4' Love with a beard is my favorite.
