Don't let anyone say anything bad about RUclips shorts cause I found you guys through RUclips shorts and it's the greatest treasure trove of Dnd content I've ever come across
I would say same, while I hate how youtube tends to shove them down our eye holes, I wouldn't have gotten to a few different dnd channels if it werent for them, and would be contentless for work XD!
That's also how I found them and lemme just say I've never laughed so hard in my life and that chuckles the clown and torbek have become my favorites in days
The reason sailors distrust bananas is because they excrete some chemical as they ripen which makes other fruit ripen faster, which hastens the spoiling of whatever fruits are stored for the sailors to eat and places everyone in danger of developing scurvy
Actually all ripening fruits and vegetables produce it, it’s just that bananas when they do turn, turn quick and they release a lot more than most than they do.
Also, from my uncle who was in the french navy, sailing in the caraibean, bananas often have a parasitelike plant on them which gives you la dingue idk how to say it in english but it's a pretty bad diseases. It's at the top or bottom end iirw, this is why u gotta cut it big just in case but normally u see a black sting
Fun fact, because most people don't know this: The bathroom/toilets on old ships were at the head of the boat (the front where the pointy part sticks out), and only the captain would have a private toilet in his quarters, though passenger rooms might have a chamber pot. That's why bathrooms are sometimes called a head, literally because of where they were placed on ships. The reason they were placed there is because the water would flush out the waste when a wave hit, so you wouldn't have to clean it yourself.
@@andywap3 No that is a corruption of a french term that became the naming convention of it. The french called that deck 'la poupe' which just referred to the stern deck roof. So over time it just became corrupted by english speakers, much as english is a corruption of french and german to begin with, la poupe just became the poop and hence the poop deck.
I love and can't get the idea of frost being a dm describing everything to it's most detailed thank you y'all for being such great characters and people
Fun garden fact: unlike most farm animals, rabbit droppings are considered "cold", meaning they do not need to be aged and can be used to garden immediately 🌱
Additional fun rabbit dropping fact: the harder rabbit droppings you usually see are twice digested because they eat their own 'soft' feces to absorb all its nutrients.
@TWay-xn9dm I’m no expert but as I understand it, raw manure shouldn’t be used to fertilize a garden or especially a farm because such manure is full of all sorts of bacteria and viruses from the digestive tracts of animals. These microbes can transfer disease to the plants, or more importantly any person who eats fruits or vegetables contaminated with fresh manure. To prevent this, manure should be composted with of without plant detritus so that the decomposition process heats the pile enough to kill off the worst of the bacteria and viruses. This can take a few weeks or months depending on a lot of factors. “Undercooke” manure is how you get E. coli and listeria outbreaks.
So, I've watched all the witchlight campaign thus far posted to RUclips. But, this is really good. I've watched a ton of live play d&d and this group is one of the best. Especially for the comedy.
I am half an hour in and I realize that they are in the same room, like he handed him the shell and my brain said "oh, look they have identical shells in their rooms." I am so silly
I am so fricking happy that RUclips decided to throw your shorts at me. I do not play D&D myself but I love love love watching other people play it and you guys are just so funny and entertaining! I love it!
derek was right on that note about the birds. after about 50 or so miles from land, birds become very scarce. occasionally a stray seagull or hawk might be seen huntin further out, but its rare to seem any birds after 100 miles from shore.
Mace continues to amaze me with his acting skills. Hell they ALL do. Just got up to date with Once Upon a Witchlight, and dipping into Stradanya via the podcast.
Man every person in this group has a different style of DMing and I love them all. Derek’s deadpan and descriptive delivery that is so hilarious as a player is so chilling as a DM. I’m already feeling the eeriness and suspense of this campaign and I feel like we’re going to be in for a difficult journey.
I know this was completely a joke by Queenie BUT from a medical perspective when treating someone with hypothermia NEVER USE BODY HEAT! It’s just going to make you cold faster and then you’ll both have hypothermia. Wrapping them up in something that conserves heat and keeping them need a fire or heat source is a much better option. Stay safe out there everyone ❤️
It might not have been 100% a joke. I know that in survival situations sharing body heat is one of the best ways to stay alive so it could be misrepresented information instead. Either way good on you for providing solid information
1:02:03 Barnabos is *Terrifying* when he is mad😀 Especially at 1:03:51 ! 2:07:13 I can not explain how much I love Mace’s laugh! It makes me so happy, and I’m pretty sure everyone agrees. 2:11:31 Jornir is 8Ft!! Wtf?! Good god. 4:11:53 OMG WHY U GOTTA PULL AT MY HEART STRINGS😭😭 QUEENIE IS TOO SWEET FOR THIS WORLD
49:55 "Barnabos, what is it with you and bananas?" "Bananas are bad luck!" Somewhere, far away, one Gricko Grimgrin cries out and holds his heart in anguish.
Going through all the old streams and catching up. Derek is such an enjoyable DM to watch, very observant of all his players. So excited to see where this campaign goes.
They're the five stages of grief when it comes to the Golden Egg, aren't they? Skrimm - Denial; Barnabos - Anger; Taishen - Bargaining; Queenie - Depression; Jornir - Acceptance.
They were on that voyage for like 3 months and Derek said that Queenie had been running up and down stairs very frequently serving grog, queenie's legs have to look like Miriko's legs from mha by now
wow, another series i don't have the time to watch but will inevitably keep rewatching the first episode every few months wanting to watch it then seeing another campaign i need to watch
@@mikestrousemace is a comical powerhouse. He might miss some of them but when they land they are solid. Don't diss any of them I bet they do a lot better than you could.
I do wanna say that the Boatswain or Bosen is actually below the ships Surgeon him and the cook share the same rank it's Captain First Mate Quartermaster Surgeon Cook&Bosen Then the others There is also Powder monkies who are the people who get the cannon powder also the Cannoneer who is what Matt Mercer called the Master Gunner and there's also the Cabin boy aka Cook's Assistant. But the way the Cargo is normally put on a ship is that things that need to be cold are sent down to the deck above the bilge because it's actually very cold down there then dry goods gun powder and many other things of cargo are on the next deck up and normally there's a crew deck where they normally have net cots or just normal Canvas cots strung up in a bunk bed fashion ;p
i love this so much!! Skrimm is my favourite and this was so wonderfully creepy, the thing where they rolled high but kept finding nothing added to it so much and the ENDING!!
just finished binging once upon a witchlight and now im watching this and I have to say that Derek's storytelling is absolutely amazing and I am absolutely blown away!
omg same! Mike is extremely talented in his character writing that all his characters tend to become my favorite with how funny and well written they are
Not even an hour in and I already love this. The way everyone speaks and acts is awesome. The characters are really alive and different, as one would expect from a massive immoral work camp prison!
I love Barnabas's accent. Flushing out parts of my homebrew campaign while listening to this and I've done made 3 NPC's that are way to much like him. I must be careful...lol
Got here from Once Upon a Witchlight, and the horror/survival vibes are quite the departure from how goofy everyone is in that game- and y'all do it so well! Especially Derek, I'm impressed how he can go from being so comedic in that game to slowly building up the creepy moments in this one. Can't wait to watch more of Icebound.
Ik it's almost 3 years later but after watching other campaigns you guys due I decided to start watching this. When jorn asked if the guy heard anything strange. Then Derek the dm clapped his hands then I heard nothing through the video. After 5 minutes I realized my headset died. I thought that was impeccable and hilarious timing in real time for me lol. I just thought to share that to anyone reading these comments and maybe if some members of the cast read this I want to say thank you for the work and content you guys have put in over the years. It makes my day a little better if things are not going well. Best of wishes to you guys
Wow! I just got into D&D with a group of friends. I was looking for a campaign to take example from and I stumbled upon this mighty fine session. Thank you for making this and I will see to sticking around for the shenanigans.
they're pretty good for sure, especially if you're looking for a more natural home game experience. here's also some other suggestions if you're looking for more live play to consume: critical role is great for a more serious but occasionally funny campaign dimension 20 can't be recommended enough. they're a comedy focused dnd series from people that worked in collegehumor with 2 free campaigns on youtube, and lots more with their subscription service, dropout. brennan lee mulligan is an absolutely brilliant dm; without making this comment too large i could type an entire essay about him. if you're looking for an audio only experience you can check out Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDPOD) for a similar experience also with collegehumor employees, can't recommend them enough. also lastly there's a newer d&d podcast called Worlds Beyond Number that absolutely takes the audio medium and flips it on its head, it is an incredible experience. i recommend headphones for that one, the detail in the background is mind bogglingly amazing, 4 episodes in their new campaign and i can't recommend it enough hope you enjoy avantris! ❤
The dynamics of this group.... just absolutely PHENOMENAL. I love the way you all interact with one another, and the amount of effort and commitment poured into your characters! Absolutely amazing, excited--if a little trepidatious---to see what Derek has in store for the rest of the campaign! Well done, all of you. :D
The Ellis Cooms bit is perfect for a short I laughed so much Edit: I have to time stamp so I can replay it over and over 1:37:30 "for the entire week?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am surprised about how much I like this episode. I've never heard of this channel before so I wasn't expecting much but it's friggin awesome. I've already laughed myself damn near to tears. I'm definitely going to keep up with this campaign.
Seen Root, Unrooted and Witchlight and the range you guys have for character acting is so great, this is such a good first ep and I love all your characters so much 🙌💜
Oh, I'm really glad they fixed the mic early on in the session. I initially stopped watching because of that, but I'm really interested in a survival DND story!
Been wanting to do a more sea or coastal travel focused campaign for ages as a thing to revist with my group and this is giving me quite a few ideas in that vein and I'm so pumped to catch up on this
Finally, I've caught up to current and watched every episode of icebound! Now i can look throught the playlists.... oh... oh god... so many hours of incerdible laughs and stories and heart-felt moments and amazing characters. I'll be watching forever. Cant wait for more icebound, I'm on the edge of my seat!! yall are the best.
having just started this series today, id like to point out that human flesh does poorly in most composts due to the bioaccumulation and bacteria that would be found in frostbitten human flesh.
as soon as i saw this one yt short on one of these videos I knew I had to start binge watching the whole series now im watching once upon a witchlight and I cant wait for more of this
just got finished with all the current stuff and Root (which I may play in the future myself) and I just want to say on the frostbite part that it has lead me on a little internet journey. So apparently most the time treatment wise, you need warm water and all that jazz to treat it and apparently frosbite can recover most the time unless it's super deep and kills the tissue. If the tissue dies after assisting with the damages, it "can" recover unless it's so severe that it might cause infections just by existing like making tetanus easier to get. Frostbite is quite the fascinating injury and I am lookin forward to the series' events.
Taishen is like Spyro(Artstyle) plus Iroh(Humble personality). I feel like Andy inherited a Goblin from Mickey and Ritchie inherited his Spirit Halloween voice. I love everyone's characters!
Wow. I am absolutely hooked. I never actually watched 5 Hours of DnD actively. Usually it just runs in the Background when I work but the tension in this one kept me transfixed. Can't wait to see this campaign to the end.
1:44 this is my first time seeing Andy with short hair and I'm....it's not bad but he looks like a young college freshman versus how he usually looks which is more,,, rugged? he cute tho
I love both Queenie being the sweet and innocent southern gal, most times, and Skrimm being just like Booker that the moment someone says something to derail his fun and enjoyment he has the same, "I'm sorry, what?" reaction most people would have to that kind of information. Andy and Nikkie have some of the best character moments.

Half the reason. Smell was another, wind came from aft to fore so it would blow the smell away.
Is this also where the term, "poop deck", comes from?

they're pretty good for sure, especially if you're looking for a more natural home game experience. here's also some other suggestions if you're looking for more live play to consume:
critical role is great for a more serious but occasionally funny campaign
dimension 20 can't be recommended enough. they're a comedy focused dnd series from people that worked in collegehumor with 2 free campaigns on youtube, and lots more with their subscription service, dropout. brennan lee mulligan is an absolutely brilliant dm; without making this comment too large i could type an entire essay about him.
if you're looking for an audio only experience you can check out Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDPOD) for a similar experience also with collegehumor employees, can't recommend them enough. also lastly there's a newer d&d podcast called Worlds Beyond Number that absolutely takes the audio medium and flips it on its head, it is an incredible experience. i recommend headphones for that one, the detail in the background is mind bogglingly amazing, 4 episodes in their new campaign and i can't recommend it enough

Okay, but... why is Jornir beginning to be the Eeyore of the group? 😂
Makes sense, with his introduction he seems like the sort to ‘settle’ for things. This is something familiar.
His description says he sees versions of the apocalypse I feel like that would make anybody feel like that 😂
The ship sections reminds me fondly of the Obra Dinn, just so delightful.
The Ellis Cooms bit is perfect for a short I laughed so much
Edit: I have to time stamp so I can replay it over and over 1:37:30 "for the entire week?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"He doesn't like you touching that wood!" 🤣
Can you explain it I genuinely have no idea what they're talking about lol
@@GSBlitzenit’s a sexual joke
@GSBlitzen it's a joke about ejaculation lol
Please explain, I couldn't really hear any of it and I didn't understand what I did hear
Their first campaign I watched was Witchlight and I'm so used to Mace as Gideon that this character is such a startling but lovely change
I am surprised about how much I like this episode. I've never heard of this channel before so I wasn't expecting much but it's friggin awesome. I've already laughed myself damn near to tears. I'm definitely going to keep up with this campaign.
Seen Root, Unrooted and Witchlight and the range you guys have for character acting is so great, this is such a good first ep and I love all your characters so much 🙌💜
All the characters are so interesting and enjoyable to listen to! The character art is fantastic too and I can easily picture this animated.
Oh, I'm really glad they fixed the mic early on in the session. I initially stopped watching because of that, but I'm really interested in a survival DND story!
Im sorry but whenever I hear Andy I just cant stop thinking of "Toooooorbeeeeeek!!!!"
Been wanting to do a more sea or coastal travel focused campaign for ages as a thing to revist with my group and this is giving me quite a few ideas in that vein and I'm so pumped to catch up on this
Dont think you cant hide "Chrono Cross -- Time's Scar" from me when they're rolling initiative.... love this so much
So i just binged witchlight and now on to icebound. Yall brighten my days at work
This channel, "legends of Avantris" has kept me grounded on the earth in a good way, i dont feel like my head is floaty, "anxiety"
Just finished watching once upon a witchlight and catching up before the hiatus. I'm so excited to continue
Finally, I've caught up to current and watched every episode of icebound! Now i can look throught the playlists.... oh... oh god... so many hours of incerdible laughs and stories and heart-felt moments and amazing characters. I'll be watching forever. Cant wait for more icebound, I'm on the edge of my seat!! yall are the best.
the spider thing is true. ive seen one of those nasty things. huge Brazilian wandering spider. very dangerous.
Queenie sounds like she ain't in Kansas no more
i just want to say i absolutely adore Queenie she is so funny
Only episode I've seen but I could see this making a very good novel or maybe even a show. Well done
Just found you guys after trying like 4,000 episode 1s that all started with 30-45mins of announcements. Thank you for getting straight to it ❤
Wow, this was intense. I love sessions with a mystery/horror vibe and this has made my day :)
Remember when shit starts getting weird immediately start using a buddy system. Never be alone
having just started this series today, id like to point out that human flesh does poorly in most composts due to the bioaccumulation and bacteria that would be found in frostbitten human flesh.
25 minutes in and I quickly understand the short of Jornir's "scarlet rage", it's a miracle he's not saying it already XD
I say that fondly lol
When Barnabos was asking for his shell, I was actually imagining him as a giant hermit crab-man demanding his home back from the guards, lmao
as soon as i saw this one yt short on one of these videos I knew I had to start binge watching the whole series now im watching once upon a witchlight and I cant wait for more of this
I found y’all through Instagram, and I absolutely love how your group fits together so well. And you have an amazing DM aswell :)
SUCH kind words. Thank you so much!
just got finished with all the current stuff and Root (which I may play in the future myself) and I just want to say on the frostbite part that it has lead me on a little internet journey. So apparently most the time treatment wise, you need warm water and all that jazz to treat it and apparently frosbite can recover most the time unless it's super deep and kills the tissue. If the tissue dies after assisting with the damages, it "can" recover unless it's so severe that it might cause infections just by existing like making tetanus easier to get. Frostbite is quite the fascinating injury and I am lookin forward to the series' events.
Bananas are bad luck because of the gas they emit, it makes other fruit spoil faster
It is such a testament to yalls acting that I’m home alone and getting such wicked heeby-jeebies
Taishen is like Spyro(Artstyle) plus Iroh(Humble personality).
I feel like Andy inherited a Goblin from Mickey and Ritchie inherited his Spirit Halloween voice. I love everyone's characters!
Wow. I am absolutely hooked. I never actually watched 5 Hours of DnD actively. Usually it just runs in the Background when I work but the tension in this one kept me transfixed. Can't wait to see this campaign to the end.
as someone who has watched the whole dang series its reallll weird seeing how everyone played their characters in the beginning.
Absolutely wonderful, glad i stumbled onto yall
We're glad you found us!! We hope you enjoy our shenanigans!
1:44 this is my first time seeing Andy with short hair and I'm....it's not bad but he looks like a young college freshman versus how he usually looks which is more,,, rugged? he cute tho
I love the trauma that the Crows Nest has caused Skrimm
"Ellis Cooms-"
"Ew..."
"....."
"FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK????"
Not sure how I got recommended your shorts but had to watch some long form, well done you guys are hilarious!
I love both Queenie being the sweet and innocent southern gal, most times, and Skrimm being just like Booker that the moment someone says something to derail his fun and enjoyment he has the same, "I'm sorry, what?" reaction most people would have to that kind of information. Andy and Nikkie have some of the best character moments.
Just caught up on Witchlight and am excited to watch these other campaigns! Love these characters already
Only a few minutes in and I am loving the vibes here, excited to follow the story to its end
