We're giving away FREE DICE to ALL physical backers of The Crooked Moon! These Pumpkin King dice are perfect for Halloween and are Kickstarter exclusive, so time is running out!

The first thing Gideon did upon breaking out of imprisonment was make a "I fucked your mom" joke and then snapped his captors neck, and that's why he's the best Avantris character
I love that when Gideon has to be honest about his past, he starts swearing a lot. That's actually a very real thing people do when they're saying something difficult, essentially attempting subconsciously to seem more tough. Mace really is very good at drawing you in to how his character feels.
Let's see Torbek being traumatized, Gideon being bloodthirsty, and Gricko being Gricko, all while Forst and Kremy try to keep the party alive. Yep, it's a normal Once Upon a Witchlight episode
Nikki: "The sand begins to whirl" My head: just like the classic 1990s film the mummy Nikki: and scarab come out and surround you My head again: just like the classic 1990 film...
The minute I heard all the colors of the horses my brain snapped realizing they’re the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and the one missing is death which makes sense because it is technically an “end” to time
The feeling of sheer panic and distress Mace must have felt when Nickie said she'd Dread both of his back to back Nat 20's will probably haunt him for the rest of his DnD days.
The fact that none of the hags backstories were in the module and you managed to tie this all into prime is so cool! So many props to Nikki for this it was absolutely wild
Omg what??? That's shocking! It seems to fit so well into the story. But it also makes sense why she stumbled a few times, where as she normally reads things pretty clearly. It's because she wrote it and had been reworking it probably multiple times, and her brain was starting to skip things. It all makes sense now! 😆
*Finishing BDW and the nightmares of Har'Akir yesterday* *Going back to Witchlight today and the gang are in Nekbhet trudging towards a spooky temple to learn of the horrors of the evil beings past* I'm back in the fucking building
With how amazingly Gideon did against the tri-cobra compared to previous battles, I swear that snake had to have some clown blood in it. Shout out for Chuckles! 🎉 😂
Ngl when Kremy was explaining how he wants to die on good terms and be a jazzy skeleton in the afterlife my brain went to the song “remains of the day” in that scene from corpse bride if anyone remembers that scene
2:43:55 the way andy just starts grinning while mace (gideon) starts talking about his escape is amazing. its that perfect expression of "lettem fuckin rot"
the gang: walking through the desert, about to pass out from the heat my brain: "It's about time someone reminded Derek how getting levels of exhaustion feels like"
When Kremy rolls his dice and Rich starts explaining the swamp that envelops them... That is one of the most epic moments of putting yourself into the game. Richie describes it so well and paints this picture that the others are just beholding. A true DM moment of understanding the world he creates.
Hearing Gideon's backstory (I'm new this is my first watch through of any avantris content so this is new info for me) and hearing him say now that he's lost 10 years of his prime and he won't let anything stop him from having fun now really painted the pixie kiss different for me. Kremy loves this himbo so much and he's jealous sure but he also knows what Gideon's been through and respects his need to be wild and free (from a certain point of view, they are absolutely still married and Gideon knows and loves it) Idk just made it even cuter to me his jealous cooking bc while he may not be STOKED about the degree of openness to their marriage he will not admit to but desperately loves, he does love seeing Gideon being himself and happy and knows he could never be replaced as the main love of Gideons life no matter how many "pixie" wives he may have as well.
I pushed out of my mind that this is where we get Gideon's backstory. Mace has me so emotional that I'm ready to unalive ALL the hobgoblins. Fantastic job guys
Oh boy I sure feel safe watching this episode that starts with a content warning unlike every other one where twig ends her adventure early and Torbek shows up in a terribly upsetting way 😅 time to watch anyway and have my heart broken
Oh I LOVE that at 3:09:06 Nikki says the statue sees the determination “in yourself” for freedom because sure, it could be referring to the whole party. But the phrasing really makes it sound like Kremy’s only determined to save himself
On rewatching the freakin 2022 Yuletide special the ending made my jaw drop because of the foreshadowing for this specific episode?? Being in a snow globe the entire time, and in this episode being in an hourglass the entire time?? NIKKI YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN
@@TheRandomWelshie Yeah and we will definitely know exactly how Twig is doing and not just spend an entire section of very stressful combat and then ending the episode with no mention of her fate during that entire time despite being with the party(send help)
This has to be the most exciting combat we have seen in this campaign. Right next to the battle against Torbek. Love getting to see Kremy use his shadow magics so much, they are so cool
Now I understand why Gideon is so eager to fight, to go first, he's living his life like nothing matters, he's not going waste anymore time. He's gonna do what he propose, no matter what it takes. Also love that he still calls Gricko: Little green.
The structure of the visions and the temple is amazing! The hag of the future first, depicted initially as a child, the hag of the present as a middle aged woman, and the hag of the past as an old crone, reversing the time line as each story went on and then the reveal??
Gideon is a such a fun study on masculinity. The positives: strong, protective, supportive, confident, daring, stoic. The negatives: Insecure, Loud, Prone to anger and violence, Impulsive, has a hard time communicating. Whether y'all meant to or not, the dares that are put before Gideon "or you're a b*tch" actually demonstrate the flaws with his character in a really fun and compelling way, and getting to see him open up in this episodes showed a lot of growth with that characters' arc. I'd love to see something similar for Gricko, some growth beyond being the comic foil. Some emotional/serious center in there.
Gricko already has this centre though. He loves his friends, to the point that he can ignore some things that they do (he was telling Kremy at one of the episodes that Frosty and him ignore enough of things already and he won't let Kremy's antics slide this time). He is kind, despite still being a flawed person ( he was, originally, the only one who was kind to Torbek and treated him as an equal and cared for his well-being). He loves his daughter more than anything ( the way that he was upset when he remembered that Hootsie was taken, the way Gideon and Kremy say that he will kill them if they just leave Hootsie in the kitchens in the hag's house). He has his religious beliefs as well. He is more of a silly goofy character, yes, and is often used as a comedian of the party, but he is no less complicated than the others.
Personally, I'd like to see some growth from Kremmy. He's by far the most dishonest and selfish of the group. He's willing to lie to and gaslight his only friends if it gets him what he wants. The only truly precious person to Kremmy is Gideon, but that hasn't stopped him from tricking and magically compelling him multiple times now. Hell, this entire campaign was caused by his own shady choices. I know it's all for the lulz (and some of it was hilarious), but I think his flaws far outweigh those of the other members of the party.
The moment where Andy figured it out... the energy that I got caught up with was so great! I am FINALLY caught up. I started watching Once Upon a Witchlight to understand the Chuckles shorts and by now I am hooked.
For the story of the past Gideon's was perfect. For the story of the present I was also thinking torbek had a story about his current predicament and how being surrounded by people he trust sets him free and the story of future could have been Griko and the eventual future that Hootsie will grow up and be independent on her own, and griko would be free once he learns to accept that she too will grow up
Kremy casting his spell is EXACTLY how I have been wanting to just use my fog cloud 😅 but none of the party members ever let me use it. Quick escape from combat that im just over with
2:20:30 it took me a minute to remember where I’ve heard of the ones that lived in the darkness before there was light, and then I remember it’s the Alien Dark Elf’s from that second Thor movie no one remembers about
Nikkie: "Yes, 8 of you. The 5 of you, Twig, and the 2 little mushrooms." Me: But...then where's Hootsie, and why is Gricko not panicking-? Mikey, later remembering Hootsie randomly and interacting with her: 😁 1:36:52 "Who needs dreads when you've got Kremy?" Did he get that spell with the most recent level up? It's fittingly twisted XD lolol
Grecko- I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am an empath. So I am uniquely qualified to tell you he died in terrible agony. Me: have to pause the video due to not being able to breath
At 1:28:45 when nikki says someones behind jormir had me diein, i have adhd and thought i had a diff campaign playin for a sec. Also andy bein an amazin human bein and encouraging nikki to be an agent of chaos and fuck up the party was adorable and exactly the type of encouragement we all need every day
How I would love to turn this into a novel. All of you bring your characters to life so well, and Nikkie sets the scene so perfectly. I have very much enjoyed this series thus far
@@thehatman9636 I know right?! even if I didn't get to write it, I want a graphic novel now of Once Upon a Witchlight so bad. I feel in the beginning with the twists of dread would be such a cool visual
How is every comment not in praise of that "long-scarfed it" joke? Everybody's creativity was in top form this episode. I suppose it's just a high bar.
39:22 the way Derek just immediately accepts that and says "Okay" is way too funny to me, oh god. "I hate you, so no." "Okay," Derek, bestie are you alright, you accepted that so quickly sjsbdjbdn Gods, Gideon telling his story nearly made me cry-- I'm very glad Kremy comforted him afterward (being an amazing husband) because holy hell, that shit is rough to repeat. I have PTSD from small things, I break down trying to talk about it, trying to repeat a story like that would be impossible. This entire party just needs, like... All the hugs.
I always love how Andy thanks Nikkie after every session. I do that for my own DM after every session. He’s someone I really look up to and respect, and overall he’s a kind and wonderful person. My husband made his very own D&D table with a projector for maps, places for cups and chargers and such forth, and I make it my priority that every time we have a D&D session I cook us a group meal. The last one was a make your own taco buffet, the one before that was spaghetti and garlic bread made with a garlic and balsamic vinegar sauce/aged Parmesan cheese that it’s baked in, as well as homemade burgers and a few other meals. 🫡 A lot of them work overtime and I want them to have fun and relax. Two just entered college later on in life; and we all know that hunger struggle most of us go through during college. Plus with inflation it’s even harder. So this is my way of giving them leftovers for later, and a nice home cooked meal where they can sit down with friends to relax and have fun.
You seem like an incredibly thoughtful and caring person! Going through college myself, I know I was so grateful for the chances I got to have a hearty, home-cooked meal. Your cooking sounds so good, and I'm sure your kindness makes an even better garnish.
@@lmtea Thank you so much. ☺️ I struggled being able to afford food all through college. It go so bad I ended up in the hospital and needed a surgery. 😂 But, they’re my friends; and I would do anything for them. I would do the same even if they weren’t. I feed the maintenance men and some of the managers here at my apartment as well. It’s usually when they’re out in the sun for a long time. It’s better to work on a full stomach than an empty one haha. I just want them to know that I’m there. They take time away from stressful jobs and classes so we can meet up for D&D. I’m always stocked up on Ibeprofen, probiotics, Tylenol, etc. So if they ever need any medical supplies if they start to not feel good during the session. I’m just happy to be a part of something that I love so much, and that I get the chance to share it with everyone.
@@chandlerlowler9006 Sometimes all it takes is a helping hand and to have someone who will listen; someone who will care. And I would do that for anyone. I don’t want to live in a world without kindness. That’s not a world to me. Unfortunately, that is part of the world that drags most of us down; but that doesn’t mean that I can’t try.
Aw my group doesn't have the same cool setup but we do a group meal every week (as adult schedules allow) and it's literally the thing that gets me through the week.
Me: oh look a nice campaign about a carnival. Bet I'll have plenty of time to catch up. Me few weeks later: that got dark and now I'm waiting to watch episodes
I absolutely loved this episode! The flavor of the hunger of Hadar spell was so glorious! Also I kinda feel bad for the hags now, their stories are so sad!
Todays a great day for legends of advantris, binged all the episodes over 2 weeks and my merch was delivered today, yes yes a good day to chill and watch some witch light
Crazy?! I was once crazy too! I wandered into a temple; all twisty and dark it was! And the doors! They're blocked by riddles! They whirl around in my mind and drive me crazy!
This is such an amazing episode, I LOVE the storytelling and the way you guys interact it’s just incredible! These are by far my favourite characters of all time
2:15:05 god, all of this is just so, SO, good. AWESOME rp. And right before the notorious ep 46... idk if im ready for whats gonna happen next (im not lmao) but at least im almost caught up? I guess?? We'll see.
The background for all of the witches broke my heart… it doesn’t excuse the things they’ve done by ANY means, but it is tragic. Because if they had gotten help, if they had been able to heal before their pain overtook them, so many lives would be spared. I might be misunderstanding the origin stories a bit But it does seem to imply that the hags all were normal women at some point with normal lives and normal dreams If Endelyn hadn’t been kidnapped and tortured, or if she’d gotten help to heal from her trauma once she escaped, she may have never drank the potion. And if Bavlorna had been able to have children (I’m assuming that she is barren) or if she was comfortable with adoption, or if she understood that a bloodline isn’t the only way to have a legacy, or that no one really needs one, she wouldn’t have become mama Lorna and hurt so many people.
I may have caught this episode on Twitch, but I've gotta watch it on RUclips, too. Gotta show that support! Love you guys! Thank you for all the laughs.
Frost: We mean no harm, snake! We just want to pass through peacefully. Don't attack us, and we won't attack you. Gideon: Fuck that shit. Taste my fiery fist!
I won’t say much but episode 46 on twitch as a VOD if anyone wants to catch up entirely. I recommend preparing yourself mentally, this campaign is getting darker it seems.
Listened to this again during work (because I am addicted) and realized, they will never read Roslov's letters because these people don't read unless it's absolutely necessary. 😂

Torbek saying "we hit rock bottom and we picked up shovels" is the motivational cross stitch I didn't know I needed
What so funny to me is I’ve said something along these lines before- but to smaller stakes lol,
I had a moment of “he is me, I am him”
The first thing Gideon did upon breaking out of imprisonment was make a "I fucked your mom" joke and then snapped his captors neck, and that's why he's the best Avantris character
I read this as gricko somehow and was thoroughly confused.
@@cruciblelord6326ah yes the green child managed that
I was mixing this up with another campaign, from another group. Rip Gideon the Undented~!
I love that when Gideon has to be honest about his past, he starts swearing a lot. That's actually a very real thing people do when they're saying something difficult, essentially attempting subconsciously to seem more tough. Mace really is very good at drawing you in to how his character feels.
I do this when talking about some of the harder stuff I've been through, Mace is amazing
Kremey after casting his swamp dimension: “Run fellas!”
Gricko/Mikey after running deeper into the swamp: “You never specified where Medium Green!”
“YES, I DID LITTLE SHITTY GREEN! NOW TELL MY HUSBAND TO GET OUT, I NEED HIM TO HELP WITH MY GUMBO. AND TWIGGSY!!”
When Gricko said "I think I found the problem" while checking Torbek's tubes I fully expected him to say "they ain't no gas innit".
PLEASE
😭😭😭😭😭
Mmmmmmm hmmmmmm
Frost: We don't mean you any harm
Gideon: Good thing my name isn't we
Gideon would fight even if there was no threat
Let's see Torbek being traumatized, Gideon being bloodthirsty, and Gricko being Gricko, all while Forst and Kremy try to keep the party alive. Yep, it's a normal Once Upon a Witchlight episode
My new favorite quote: "We hit rock bottom and picked up shovels." 😂😂
Nikki: "The sand begins to whirl"
My head: just like the classic 1990s film the mummy
Nikki: and scarab come out and surround you
My head again: just like the classic 1990 film...
😂😂
I'm surprised none of them made that reference!
Starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz 🤣
Everyone's hair looking like a pantene commercial in this one, all luscious af.
literally! I was just thinking that same thing, I was like damn, drop the haircare routine guys.
@@emememememememememe True, im so jealous right now🥲
literally every single strand is GLOWING its insane
The minute I heard all the colors of the horses my brain snapped realizing they’re the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and the one missing is death which makes sense because it is technically an “end” to time
Not just that, but the three riders of Baba Yaga
During the snake encounter when kremy gets out the dice I feel he missed the opportunity to say snake eyes
Damn that would’ve been good
Man I can't wait for the next episode where nothing bad will happen and everyone will be ok
Nothing at all, just goof-goofs and handshakes, 🥲
Biggest of oofs
I mean you could say that for any episode. This whole series is a heckin' roller-coaster.
@@TrashFire_Masonhahah yeah 😅
Ep 46 is on twitch and based just off of that, the campaign doesn’t seem to have any light-hearted episodes anytime soon.
The feeling of sheer panic and distress Mace must have felt when Nickie said she'd Dread both of his back to back Nat 20's will probably haunt him for the rest of his DnD days.
Torbek's other side i have started to call Kebort. Torbek is honestly one of my favourite things ever.
Shouldn't that be Kebrot? I made a comment about this too, in a previous episode! 😊 I like that it has the word rot in it!
@@vampirelogan YES! I think im partly dyslexic so sorry 😅
Personally, I prefer to refer to him as Gore-bek, but we can all agree that character is incredible.
Torbek is my Emotional Support Bugbear even Kebrot.
@@Ravensinkwell "Torbek is flaaaatered but Torbek barely gets enough emotional support Torbek so Torbek is not sure he can heeeelp you!"
I started wheezing at the same time as Mace after Mikey said "I especially know because I'm a Gemini."
The fact that none of the hags backstories were in the module and you managed to tie this all into prime is so cool! So many props to Nikki for this it was absolutely wild
There's a connection to Prime? You'll have to elucidate me on that. Don't worry about spoiling me.
@@Prismatic_Pixie I would if I had also seen prime! I just know because it was brought up during the live and during Avantris and chill
Omg what??? That's shocking! It seems to fit so well into the story.
But it also makes sense why she stumbled a few times, where as she normally reads things pretty clearly. It's because she wrote it and had been reworking it probably multiple times, and her brain was starting to skip things. It all makes sense now! 😆

God- that performance... The emotion in Gideon's voice and expressions when he talked about his imprisonment was so- just- wow.

Oh boy I sure feel safe watching this episode that starts with a content warning unlike every other one where twig ends her adventure early and Torbek shows up in a terribly upsetting way 😅 time to watch anyway and have my heart broken
I’m so concerned right now.
IM SCARED
And what about the one where Frost literally f$cked Gideon?
I don't know why, but something about Torbek being the favorite toy, it's so sweet I teared up a little.
Compared to the 3 hags Gid is a strong soul he didnt take his anger out on losing his years on others instead he lives his best life with his mates
I believe that's the line that separates a hero from a villain
Oh I LOVE that at 3:09:06 Nikki says the statue sees the determination “in yourself” for freedom because sure, it could be referring to the whole party. But the phrasing really makes it sound like Kremy’s only determined to save himself
Richie's "God I'm rolling HOT tonight guys." really helps channel that rambling, gambling man energy

@2:34:11, Andy being incredibly excited and yet somehow completely silent as to not interrupt the DM moment sent me to the moon
Oh boy I can’t wait for next episode where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will go wrong and we wont all be questioning what the future of witchlight will be!
Yeah me neither. Nothing could go wrong. I cant wait to see how Hootsie is doing and what she does and I think that absolutely nothing will go wrong.
Yes and no creatures will throw the campaign as we know it into jeopardy AT ANY POINT! Just your casual shenanigans
@@TheRandomWelshie Yeah and we will definitely know exactly how Twig is doing and not just spend an entire section of very stressful combat and then ending the episode with no mention of her fate during that entire time despite being with the party(send help)
one can only imagine Torbek's poor therapist
edit: the whole gang's poor therapists
This has to be the most exciting combat we have seen in this campaign. Right next to the battle against Torbek. Love getting to see Kremy use his shadow magics so much, they are so cool
Now I understand why Gideon is so eager to fight, to go first, he's living his life like nothing matters, he's not going waste anymore time. He's gonna do what he propose, no matter what it takes.

Nice to see the start of the next great Avantris campaign, Sandbound
I like the comment but it took it up to 70 so I unliked to keep it at 69 👌
The moment where Andy figured it out... the energy that I got caught up with was so great! I am FINALLY caught up. I started watching Once Upon a Witchlight to understand the Chuckles shorts and by now I am hooked.
Finally hooked 40+ episodes in? 😅
For the story of the past Gideon's was perfect. For the story of the present I was also thinking torbek had a story about his current predicament and how being surrounded by people he trust sets him free and the story of future could have been Griko and the eventual future that Hootsie will grow up and be independent on her own, and griko would be free once he learns to accept that she too will grow up
I had the same thought. When Gricko started the story of the present, I was surprised.
Kremy casting his spell is EXACTLY how I have been wanting to just use my fog cloud 😅 but none of the party members ever let me use it. Quick escape from combat that im just over with
The wizard in me says do it anyway, they'll figure it out
2:20:30 it took me a minute to remember where I’ve heard of the ones that lived in the darkness before there was light, and then I remember it’s the Alien Dark Elf’s from that second Thor movie no one remembers about
I feel like Kremy was showing off as a warning to Gideon not to mess with anymore pixies 😂
Nikkie: "Yes, 8 of you. The 5 of you, Twig, and the 2 little mushrooms."
Me: But...then where's Hootsie, and why is Gricko not panicking-?
Mikey, later remembering Hootsie randomly and interacting with her: 😁
1:36:52 "Who needs dreads when you've got Kremy?" Did he get that spell with the most recent level up? It's fittingly twisted XD lolol
NIkki counting down the time is giving me strandaya flashbacks. Still haunts my dreams
Grecko- I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am an empath. So I am uniquely qualified to tell you he died in terrible agony.
Me: have to pause the video due to not being able to breath
Mace's face when Nikkie joked that she was going to dread both of his nat 20s, I nearly peed myself laughing!
At 1:28:45 when nikki says someones behind jormir had me diein, i have adhd and thought i had a diff campaign playin for a sec. Also andy bein an amazin human bein and encouraging nikki to be an agent of chaos and fuck up the party was adorable and exactly the type of encouragement we all need every day
I read this comment literally 5 seconds before the timestamp 🎉
1:42:25 Derek saying "find the kidney" was so funny
Gricko: :Kremy is all your fault.
Kremy: l know it's all my fault.

How I would love to turn this into a novel. All of you bring your characters to life so well, and Nikkie sets the scene so perfectly. I have very much enjoyed this series thus far
This would do great as a graphic novel, especially the drag scenes. 😂
@@thehatman9636 I know right?! even if I didn't get to write it, I want a graphic novel now of Once Upon a Witchlight so bad. I feel in the beginning with the twists of dread would be such a cool visual
2:57:36. Torbek screaming “How much?!?” Couldn’t stop laughing.
Avantris Group: looks in sand hole Gricko: lets yell at it and see what comes out. Gricko saying after seeing monster: HEY IT WORKED OH CRAP
Kremy's use of Hunger of Hadar is so badass I think I'll have to rip it off for my Warlock in our next campaign. Sincerest form of flattery etc.
The mushroom people are cute and how they communicate makes me think of a bard
This entire episode gave me "swoose bumps."
How is every comment not in praise of that "long-scarfed it" joke? Everybody's creativity was in top form this episode. I suppose it's just a high bar.
39:22 the way Derek just immediately accepts that and says "Okay" is way too funny to me, oh god.
"I hate you, so no."
"Okay,"
Derek, bestie are you alright, you accepted that so quickly sjsbdjbdn
Gods, Gideon telling his story nearly made me cry-- I'm very glad Kremy comforted him afterward (being an amazing husband) because holy hell, that shit is rough to repeat. I have PTSD from small things, I break down trying to talk about it, trying to repeat a story like that would be impossible. This entire party just needs, like... All the hugs.
Twig and the Mushroom Friends sounds like a psychedelic band of the 60’s
Krem is giving off Fear and Loathing vibes, “we had just made it back to avantris, we the sight took hold.”
I had a bard with an owl bear named McFluffy. I’m here for the wholesome Hootsie content ❤
I always love how Andy thanks Nikkie after every session. I do that for my own DM after every session. He’s someone I really look up to and respect, and overall he’s a kind and wonderful person. My husband made his very own D&D table with a projector for maps, places for cups and chargers and such forth, and I make it my priority that every time we have a D&D session I cook us a group meal. The last one was a make your own taco buffet, the one before that was spaghetti and garlic bread made with a garlic and balsamic vinegar sauce/aged Parmesan cheese that it’s baked in, as well as homemade burgers and a few other meals. 🫡 A lot of them work overtime and I want them to have fun and relax. Two just entered college later on in life; and we all know that hunger struggle most of us go through during college. Plus with inflation it’s even harder. So this is my way of giving them leftovers for later, and a nice home cooked meal where they can sit down with friends to relax and have fun.
You seem like an incredibly thoughtful and caring person! Going through college myself, I know I was so grateful for the chances I got to have a hearty, home-cooked meal. Your cooking sounds so good, and I'm sure your kindness makes an even better garnish.
Not all heros wear capes
@@lmtea Thank you so much. ☺️ I struggled being able to afford food all through college. It go so bad I ended up in the hospital and needed a surgery. 😂 But, they’re my friends; and I would do anything for them. I would do the same even if they weren’t. I feed the maintenance men and some of the managers here at my apartment as well. It’s usually when they’re out in the sun for a long time. It’s better to work on a full stomach than an empty one haha. I just want them to know that I’m there. They take time away from stressful jobs and classes so we can meet up for D&D. I’m always stocked up on Ibeprofen, probiotics, Tylenol, etc. So if they ever need any medical supplies if they start to not feel good during the session. I’m just happy to be a part of something that I love so much, and that I get the chance to share it with everyone.
@@chandlerlowler9006 Sometimes all it takes is a helping hand and to have someone who will listen; someone who will care. And I would do that for anyone. I don’t want to live in a world without kindness. That’s not a world to me. Unfortunately, that is part of the world that drags most of us down; but that doesn’t mean that I can’t try.
Aw my group doesn't have the same cool setup but we do a group meal every week (as adult schedules allow) and it's literally the thing that gets me through the week.
Me: oh look a nice campaign about a carnival. Bet I'll have plenty of time to catch up.
Me few weeks later: that got dark and now I'm waiting to watch episodes
Witchlight got darker than midnight. I've got chills
I absolutely loved this episode! The flavor of the hunger of Hadar spell was so glorious!
Also I kinda feel bad for the hags now, their stories are so sad!
2:05:05 For some reason seeing Mikey shove tiny plastic Bananas in his mouth was very funny to me
Todays a great day for legends of advantris, binged all the episodes over 2 weeks and my merch was delivered today, yes yes a good day to chill and watch some witch light
Crazy? I was crazy once, they threw me in a desert, a blazing hot desert, a blazing hot desert with knickbats and knickbats make me crazy
Crazy?! I was once crazy too! I wandered into a temple; all twisty and dark it was! And the doors! They're blocked by riddles! They whirl around in my mind and drive me crazy!
49:50 yeah I caught that "I" too, Kremy. Not sure if Andy did that on purpose or not
This episode is captivating from start to finish. Nikki's deacriptions, the music, the tension, it's fantastic!! I can't wait for the next episode
Idk why but mace making a OP reference talking about Gideon going Gear 5 makes me so damn happy
This is such an amazing episode, I LOVE the storytelling and the way you guys interact it’s just incredible! These are by far my favourite characters of all time
This has to be my favorite group of people to watch, the way they can derail a serious moment always makes my sides split with laughter.
2:15:05 god, all of this is just so, SO, good. AWESOME rp.
And right before the notorious ep 46... idk if im ready for whats gonna happen next (im not lmao) but at least im almost caught up? I guess?? We'll see.
Kremy having a domain expansion is awsome.
The background for all of the witches broke my heart… it doesn’t excuse the things they’ve done by ANY means, but it is tragic.
Because if they had gotten help, if they had been able to heal before their pain overtook them, so many lives would be spared.
I might be misunderstanding the origin stories a bit
But it does seem to imply that the hags all were normal women at some point with normal lives and normal dreams
If Endelyn hadn’t been kidnapped and tortured, or if she’d gotten help to heal from her trauma once she escaped, she may have never drank the potion.
And if Bavlorna had been able to have children (I’m assuming that she is barren) or if she was comfortable with adoption, or if she understood that a bloodline isn’t the only way to have a legacy, or that no one really needs one, she wouldn’t have become mama Lorna and hurt so many people.
2:41:14 time to listen to Gids tragic backstory as a bed time story
"Get them gains, just like the Carlfish" love that throwback
I may have caught this episode on Twitch, but I've gotta watch it on RUclips, too. Gotta show that support! Love you guys! Thank you for all the laughs.
Frost: We mean no harm, snake! We just want to pass through peacefully. Don't attack us, and we won't attack you.
Gideon: Fuck that shit. Taste my fiery fist!
I won’t say much but episode 46 on twitch as a VOD if anyone wants to catch up entirely. I recommend preparing yourself mentally, this campaign is getting darker it seems.
Listened to this again during work (because I am addicted) and realized, they will never read Roslov's letters because these people don't read unless it's absolutely necessary. 😂

I love yalll yall inspired me 😊
Well no wonder Bavlorna hates Skabatha the most. All Bavlorna ever wanted was to have children, whilst Skabatha regretted ever having them, and killed her own grandchildren.
Love the distressed faces at the hags' stories. Very much similar to my own.
I'm enjoying the laughs while working at this point I've got my coworkers listening while we work
Torbeck: Torbeck has peace of mind, for now!
Judging by Mikey's expression, I'm guessing he shit his pants two or three times during the description of Kremy's Hunger of Hadar.
the Cobra hydra thingy was the last Carlfish remaining...you Monsters!
I love listening to y'alls videos while playing BG3. It gives me inspiration for my campaign.
Its spectacular to see a visual guide on your creative journey in this video.
