I’ve already raved about the performances, set & minis… now let’s talk about the editing. It’s insane. The shifts in focus between characters as everything plays out, the changes to voices & the added sound effects *chef’s kiss*. Don’t even get me started on the music. It’s just sooo good! Yet another incredible episode with everyone bringing it! Love the way the combat is shown. Again the editing is masterful. I hope we haven’t seen the last of Luis, but either way I’m excited for the next episode.
"baccha is wise" delivered so gravely and calmly made me laugh out loud. loving this series so far, what an absolutely stacked table and a beautiful story
I think I've said it on literally every episode of every story with Luis in it, but holy Hell he's so good. Everybody is. Omar's picking up literally everything that was dumped on him and just... deciding to be better? And then paying that forward to Ash, directly? And the Aunties. Always the Aunties. Jasmine's repeated walking of the line with the big-Adventurer blunt-force swings working out and simply... not because that's not how the really well designed mechanism worked... It's great. And the production value. And the minis. And the little post-production action set pieces with the minis. And the NPCs being fully fleshed out characters who are responding to the actions of the PCs. Beautifully executed. And everybody taking psychic damage from Namir's "Oh, Uncle..." Perfection.
I continue to love this so much! Everyone is having such hard hitting moments! Priya surprised me so much with her tirade against Rocky- and looks like she surprised Sithara too. I hope she comes back as an NPC throughout this journey, I really enjoy their scenes together!
Loving this campaign! Checked it out when I saw Anjali who was so great in EXU and Candela and then Luis showed up! Now I'm a fan of all these other wonderful people too!!
They are really picking up steam as a group. It's so fun to watch build. I feel very lucky to be here as it unfolds and not finding hidden gems months later 😅
I wish I could binge this! Love all these characters and Jasmines npc's are so good - when she tore into who she thought was Rocky on the ship.... chills!
I am LOVING this series it’s such a beautiful story, but also a stunning representation of a culture, and on top of all that it’s educational!!! You guys really did your big one with this❤️
Just- wow. The set design, the music, the explanation overlays, the minis, the plot, the character beats, the football play-by-play effects on screen... The universe is made of tiny stories, and this one came out brilliant. 🧡 Aaand there's a fourth one?!
I hope you guys can sell and find a way to market those minis. I wish more Indian inspired minis existed. I’ve only found 4 in 3 years of looking, have made a few on heroforge but that’s gets wild
Ready for the finale with a fresh bag of jalapeño chakri from gharana. They really at the best flavor. **Edit** I sit corrected. The orange para are dee-vine.
Rules nerd notes: 1:47:55 - Just FYI, spell attacks can crit in standard 5e rules. That's not a house-rule. The OneDnD / 5.5 playtest (or whatever they're calling it) was at one point going to change that. Maybe you were thinking of that and had decided to house-rule it if it did change. But I think you're playing standard 5e, since I think Anj said Guidance was 1 action. (OneD&D was planning to change it to a reaction, last I heard.)
PRIYA GOING OFF AT ROCKY MADE ME GASP.
I felt like I was on the boat experiencing it first hand, ready to shout "hit him!" XD

Love Rekha and Anjali's amazing plays and Jasmines brilliant descriptions of Vehaar. Remember y'all "Tortles are people too" haha

Okay but why did Priya defending Sitara make me cry 😭we love women supporting women!!!
I figured she wasn't actually a bad person, but gosh. 🥺
Seeing Persephone on the sneak peek of next episode makes me so excited. The little cherry on top of such a great episode.

this comment is vibes. appreciate you!
Persephiroth as a guest!!!?? What!!!!??? Thank you Desi Quest for giving me everything I needed.
I continue to love this so much! Everyone is having such hard hitting moments!
Priya surprised me so much with her tirade against Rocky- and looks like she surprised Sithara too. I hope she comes back as an NPC throughout this journey, I really enjoy their scenes together!
That dialogue with Ash telling him "you are not just responsible for fixing things but also the people you make obsolete "
*namir, right?
@@ikeekieeki yeah
This show continues to be one of the best actual plays- the acting the editing and the minis. Its all incredible
Tortles are people too!
Loving this campaign! Checked it out when I saw Anjali who was so great in EXU and Candela and then Luis showed up! Now I'm a fan of all these other wonderful people too!!
Check her out too in The Ravening War! She’s excellent there (like always)
@pebblepabble554 yes it's on my list! So much to get through!!
Kinda crazy how these episodes just keep getting better and better huh?
They are really picking up steam as a group. It's so fun to watch build.
I feel very lucky to be here as it unfolds and not finding hidden gems months later 😅
one of my favorite episodes of the season, and possibly of any TTRPG that I've ever played in
I wish I could binge this! Love all these characters and Jasmines npc's are so good - when she tore into who she thought was Rocky on the ship.... chills!
You could watch all the episodes as they drop... then when the season is over have your binge-session!!!
What a beautiful roller-coaster of emotions in this story.
Murkha's figured it all out. Bunty Uncle is the BBEG. :D
I love how Murkah as an artificer is being played =D I am eager to see the apparent turn about next episode though =O
Gasped OUT LOUD at the end lol, such good storytelling and acting!
I wasn’t sold on jasmine after coffin rush on d20 but this show has completely changed my mind. I’m so glad I gave this a go my new favourite x
Catch me throwing myself at the druid of decay to finally realize my dream of becoming one with Moss
41:00 absolutely took me OUT. 😂😂
💯, great episode! Echoing everyone else's comments, but also adding "those glasses" 🕶️ Jasmine, those glasses! Fab Fab Fabulous!
OMG, the mini of Soha is astonishing
Exciting!! It's 2:17pm Wednesday here in New Zealand and I've just finished work, lucky me to see the premiere 🤩👏🏽
We do it for NZ!

The sets, the props, the acting, the story. I don't know what I like better. This is such a great episode.
Thank you to everyone that made this possible. I cannot wait till the next episode
I am LOVING this series it’s such a beautiful story, but also a stunning representation of a culture, and on top of all that it’s educational!!! You guys really did your big one with this❤️

Aaand there's a fourth one?!
This show is so amazing! The ship and forest maps look incredible and the on screen pop-ups add so much to the viewing experience!
This is such a great group of players, and I'm so glad the show got made.
I hope you guys can sell and find a way to market those minis. I wish more Indian inspired minis existed. I’ve only found 4 in 3 years of looking, have made a few on heroforge but that’s gets wild
This episode was EVERYTHING. Incredible work DesiQuest cast and crew!!!
Has everyone liked the video yet? 😊 Gotta show the folks some love for being tantalizing ❤
Best show of the year for sure.
Went in to this blindly and left in tears! Absolutely fantastic!! 10/10 Would watch again!
Every one at this table is a master of emotional damage 😅 but also of belly laughs... and little swoons.. 😊
I look foward to each episode so much! I love the world, the characters and everything that took place to make this happen
That river with the trees is easily one of the most beautiful tt sets I've seen so far. Love this (and the series) ❤️

I feel like a craps mop would be very handy for moving minis across the table.
sick minis!
okay someone needs to edit these subtitles cause Rehka absolutely does not say "she fucks it" after taking the woman's card 😂
This map is so amazing
Oop, im late but im here, let's gooo
Has anyone had the dum maaro dum song in their heads since spotting those sunglasses?
Laddoo Auntie take the wheel 😱
I have to wonder if Luis had flashbacks to BLeeM and Asmodeus when he went to redeem Soha.
Ready for the finale with a fresh bag of jalapeño chakri from gharana. They really at the best flavor. **Edit** I sit corrected. The orange para are dee-vine.
As a Chilean I have to ask, is soja the desi version of la llorona?
Sounded like with all the weeping.
27:30 or a DECK save, if you will :P
I have ordered two boxes from Gharana so far, so I can attest the product placement has been super effective😅
Why does their sons being the same age make me cry 😭😭😭
Because it’s so freakin cute
MVP Priya is canon
Omar is making me want to play an artificer & I've never ever been interested in this class
Artax!!!
Why does he talk to his tail...?
They need to to bring Aabria on. There’s a whole chain of Iyengar yoga studios!!! Would love to see Arasha Lalani too!!
Arasha Lalani playing D&D would be such a gem. Advantage on all deception checks 😂
