They haven't upgraded their armour for a long time. As much as I love how High Rollers is VERY story driven, I would like to see some inventory changes. Most of them often forget they even have useful items in their bags.
Well really the classes they picked don't lend themselves to upgrades Monks use their fists druids can't wear or use metal armor. warlocks don't wear much armor and can generally buff themselves, and I wouldn't trust their "cleric" with anything magic.
Trell has got the wrong DC on his character sheet (it seems he did not update to reflect the increased proficiency bonus). It's probably worth double checking everyone has all of their stuff up to date. Another thing I saw in a recent stream: Cam's Spiritual weapon and Guardian of Faith spells are also NOT concentration. I don't know what he read on his spell card that made him think it was - possibly the school, they are both Conjuration spells.
I would love to read a side fanfiction about how comander paylor helps nelistri (please mind the spelling of those names) being in command of a spire. That could be so fantastic.
I can literally see Cam trading all his clothes, weapons, armor and gear for the armored death machine, hopping in with a big smile on his face and it completely breaking down after taking 3 steps... Cam peering out of the broken pieces with a single tear
well seeing as how Jiutou has trouble finding good food, here is a little help describing her much sought after noodle dish. "Noodles: boiled and or fried, paper thin strips of a simple dough, served in a spicy broth or sauce. The dough is typically just flour, eggs, and oil."
keep up the good work lads, you inspired me to DM my first game, which everyone seems to be loving (for the two sessions we've got together for so far)
My ex was kind of like that with Harry Potter. His reasoning was that he'd been bullied all through high school for his huge fantasy books, then after he graduates HP is published, gets popular, then suddenly reading and fantasy are super cool.
Perhaps Mark shouldn't be too surprised that the adventurers are a bunch of cheapskates - gold has been extremely limited in this campaign, and with so many squishy characters they are chugging potions constantly. I do think that that can be an interesting element to a campaign, but it is kind of wasting the potential of the genie character if the team never has the money to buy anything. Ultimately it is Mark's decision to make when it comes to drops and the rarity of items like healing potions, but I won't pretend that I'm not a bit triggered when Cam traded an Immovable Rod for 9 potions and a weapon upgrade (trading a wondrous item for practical, but not flashy, upgrades and necessities is just kind of sad, isn't it?).
OHHHHHHHHH MAAAAARK. If this situation gets put on the backburner, which it seems it's gonna be, I'd bet you the broken sky will try to offer them cures in exchange for their allegiance.
It's kind of a shame that Cam didn't die. Cam is my favourite character, but Jiutou killing Cam may finally have forced Kim to do some really good character based RP, and it also would have been hilarious and mortifying in equal parts.
Looks like yogscast store does ship items to Russia, yay! (it wasn't few months ago) Thanks for the sale, I am looking forward to getting highrollers t-shirt
First 5 minutes: What happens when the primary healer decides to do something stupid. 9000G? The OxVenturers probably have that in a lake... Or is it on loan to a dragon? 🤔
Good job as always people. The Winter Spire is coming under control, Jiutou is losing control, and Cam almost died not once, but twice. What more could we possibly ask for? Keep up the good work Mark, and good luck to everyone moving forward. Note: Mark, I have a small request. I expect you to just ignore this (this is your campaign, after all), but just hear me out. Do you think that you could give Matt/Trellimar a way to get back to his normal age in the next session or two? I mean, it was hilarious that this happened, but I'm not sure how I feel about this in the long run. Trellimar had so many good interactions with other people (namely Cam), including times like when the Mermaids wanted him over Cam, and the whole "romance" with Sylval, and that sort of stuff is going to be impossible of he is a teenager again (by elf standards, anyway). Plus, we already have a teenager who was once an adult in the party, no need to expand on the joke. But hey, that's just my opinion, and this is your show. If you don't want to do anything about it, I'll just get past it and continue enjoying the streams. Thank you for time.
Also, come on Matt! Have you people STILL not read the rules to adventuring?: Rule #124- Do not EVER drink a potion that you do not know the effects of, especially in the middle of combat.
I'm not going to forcibly do anything, that's not the point of the Dungeon Master. I'm there to adjudicate the world around them. If the PC's want to find a way to "age up" Trell, they can do so. Same if they want to find a cure for Fenris Curse. But the players have to choose to do those things.
Okay, that's fine. Whether you want to give them the option to do it is up to you. You just keep being one of the best Dungeon Masters I've ever seen, and keep us entertained regardless. Thanks for at least taking the time to read my comment.
i can't believe they didn't try to get 2 or 3 vials of the cure for lycanthropy. c'mon, it's a genie guys. EDIT: yay, they did ask. wish trott didn't sell the rod though, cause he should have bought a second maybe and just have a portable ladder
THE REPORT SIR!!! The grass is most definitely green The air is free of pollution There is a sweet lass here to see you You have no appointments The monsters are overrunning all sectors but HQ is clear
I FUCKING love this show! I'm currently catching up. As a fellow DM I admire Matts creativitiy in his story, NPC's and details. The crown reactions to Cam, or a Genie shopkeeper who invites buyers are just examples. I do have one question though: is there any chance you could share the price list of all the items? I have a similar Magic Item merchant (not a Genie) and this list would make my live waaaay easier
It's really unfortunate that they just defaulted to using Elora's Dire Wolf stats instead of getting out the Monster Manual. If they had, they'd have discovered that Winter Wolves are actually IMMUNE to cold damage.
Does the djinn prevent you getting items he sells or money for his wishes? Because his wish was 3000 but upgrading nimbus was 4000... Wishing to upgrade nimbus would be cheaper.
PirateDion the Djinn doesn’t like giving out wishes regardless of the wish (if its like how Djinn are in lore then every wish a Djinn casts slowly kills them, because they take a fire that resides in their bodies that represents their life force and gives them immortality, break a piece off of it and use that to grant the wish)
Mark: "Carpets that fly in the air!"
Me: " Man I hope they never fly over a pit of acid."
I just finished that episode!
hehehehehe *trollface*

" what if we cut her arm off"
" Well, it would certainly disarm her "
Jan Alltaer aihhhhh
r/technically the truth
That is the only way to disarm a monk
"Trell wolf...teen wolf" - unintended GM foreshadowing is great.
They haven't upgraded their armour for a long time. As much as I love how High Rollers is VERY story driven, I would like to see some inventory changes. Most of them often forget they even have useful items in their bags.
Pretty much why I did a part of this episode, give them a chance to upgrade their gear but seems they didn't fancy it except Cam.
I swear they had more magic items than that. They use the bronze gryphon pretty often, but wasn't there also a circlet of magic missile?
Wand of Magic Missile which Elora has. Assuming she wanted to keep it.
Well really the classes they picked don't lend themselves to upgrades Monks use their fists druids can't wear or use metal armor. warlocks don't wear much armor and can generally buff themselves, and I wouldn't trust their "cleric" with anything magic.
+gmac MacWilliam my god no. he will eventually find ways to make his healing magic hurt
I'VE HAD AN IDEA FOR MERCH!! Crownrend arm warmers!
Adam Milne yes
Adam Milne I'll test them I'm always cold
Before we can get too excited. We need Lord Hulmes' opinion
True
What about a Granymere scarf as well?
I DONT CARE HOW LATE IT IS, OR HOW TIRED I'LL BE TOMORROW, I WILL WATCH THIS!!!
ikr?? 3h after midnight WORTH IT
Joe Weatherby its high rollers.. It's worth it! 🙂
Yeah. long story short, I fell asleep after 2 hours...
I know that feeling bro
hahaha thats what europeans have with critical role
First we had granny trell. now we have teenage trell. what a great day this has been.
How about a teenaged granny trell. :3
xselinisx Teenage pregnancy is a major issue amongst young drow couples.
I realise now that, with the way things are, Cam is the one who looks like a responsible adult. (Which is ironic because he's cam)
"what if we were to cut her arm off?" "well...it would certainly *disarm* her" xD
'Do we have anything that can amplify Nelistri's voice?'
If only they still had that mace from the start...
Hot damn, Sverier is the best. Gotta love that Frost Giant.
At this rate by the end of the adventure all of the characters will be teenagers
RNG really does want this to be a teen drama show I swear...
three teens and a granny
sanddry Oh god a fellow conspirator! Well met.
It's just fate attempting to make the kid-rollers fan art as canonical as possible.
sanddry does this mean that High Rollers will turn into an anime eventually?
Trell has got the wrong DC on his character sheet (it seems he did not update to reflect the increased proficiency bonus). It's probably worth double checking everyone has all of their stuff up to date.
Another thing I saw in a recent stream: Cam's Spiritual weapon and Guardian of Faith spells are also NOT concentration. I don't know what he read on his spell card that made him think it was - possibly the school, they are both Conjuration spells.
-> "Getting an antidote is our main goal now"
-> Meets magic trader, doesn't immediately try to buy an antidote
I'm seeing that as a comedic scene. lmao
For some reason I love it whenever they go to the Djinn or the Unicorns patch, its really satisfying the way Mark describes it
Sending stones? Not rocky talkies?
I would love to read a side fanfiction about how comander paylor helps nelistri (please mind the spelling of those names) being in command of a spire. That could be so fantastic.
I too would like this.
I can literally see Cam trading all his clothes, weapons, armor and gear for the armored death machine, hopping in with a big smile on his face and it completely breaking down after taking 3 steps... Cam peering out of the broken pieces with a single tear
well seeing as how Jiutou has trouble finding good food, here is a little help describing her much sought after noodle dish.
"Noodles: boiled and or fried, paper thin strips of a simple dough, served in a spicy broth or sauce. The dough is typically just flour, eggs, and oil."
"I can make you a tiny magic merchant somewhere" Cam becomes Gilmore xD
:O AU Camfiction!
You know, I'm like certain that Crisp Trott aspires to become Gilmore.
WizardOf hahaha crisp trot😂
Just have a body swap episode XD
so now its a happy fighing family two parents, cam and elora, and 2 teenagers, the demon child and treel
Treel counts as two people. Ahem..........Granny Treel.
xselinisx a real extended family
That elven mage was concentrating on like 3 spells during that fight.
What's with you Mark and having elfs lose an arm? First the Autumn spire and now the Winter spire.
Too much Star Wars.
"A belt that makes you more like a dwarf! you could grow a beard!"
Critical role flashbacks
"A sword that steals life force?"
More flashbacks
TheWatersof Nyra make a con save
Success: you fight it off
Failure: you die on the spot
Grog seemed very dwarven already, all he needed was the beard!
All the Natural 20s for Birthday Boy Chris Trott.
We'll see how many he can handle.
That's fucking gold
Good on you mate
Just finished Curse Of Strahd, such great content. Loved Mark's Character a lot!
i can't believe that cam was almost killed by an afk player. HAHAHAHAHA
Kim's takes a vacation for the Lunar new year and Jiutou nearly kills Cam while she's away. :O
She wanted to kill him so many times, and now it finally happens, sha's not there. She gon' be PISSED XD
It wasn't Jiutou though, it was Crownrend.
@xselinisx Same difference :^)
Oh shit, Trell took a potion of longevity... Good thing he's an elf!
Why did I leave it so long to actually listen to Halfling Camp? Jesus buggering fuck I've been missing out
hasn't trell been wearing a mask for 3 episodes
Enjoyed this episode. Game/combat play moved along pretty well this time.
keep up the good work lads, you inspired me to DM my first game, which everyone seems to be loving (for the two sessions we've got together for so far)
My ex was kind of like that with Harry Potter. His reasoning was that he'd been bullied all through high school for his huge fantasy books, then after he graduates HP is published, gets popular, then suddenly reading and fantasy are super cool.
I am disappointed cam didn't run and jump off the edge of the spire then turn into a raven, that would have been cool.
Nalistri is one of my favourite characters
Happy late birthday Trout
Start 4:25
Break end 1:39:33
These battle scenes are like something out of one piece with how long they are
I love Mark's DMing, it's so fun to watch!
Just finished catching up with all the episodes and tomorrow will be the first live one I watch, so fucking hyped.
18:22
Trott, with those hand motions.
I'm not sure a horn is the only thing you blew. ;)
Halfling camp! Huzzah!
Perhaps Mark shouldn't be too surprised that the adventurers are a bunch of cheapskates - gold has been extremely limited in this campaign, and with so many squishy characters they are chugging potions constantly. I do think that that can be an interesting element to a campaign, but it is kind of wasting the potential of the genie character if the team never has the money to buy anything. Ultimately it is Mark's decision to make when it comes to drops and the rarity of items like healing potions, but I won't pretend that I'm not a bit triggered when Cam traded an Immovable Rod for 9 potions and a weapon upgrade (trading a wondrous item for practical, but not flashy, upgrades and necessities is just kind of sad, isn't it?).
I think he kind of forgets about adding gold into the campaign.
OHHHHHHHHH MAAAAARK. If this situation gets put on the backburner, which it seems it's gonna be, I'd bet you the broken sky will try to offer them cures in exchange for their allegiance.
It's kind of a shame that Cam didn't die. Cam is my favourite character, but Jiutou killing Cam may finally have forced Kim to do some really good character based RP, and it also would have been hilarious and mortifying in equal parts.
The fact that she isn't even here would be very unfair for Kim. Her character would get horrible consequences for something she didn't do.
Looks like yogscast store does ship items to Russia, yay! (it wasn't few months ago)
Thanks for the sale, I am looking forward to getting highrollers t-shirt
I like how whenever someone fails a stealth check with a really bad roll DMs always make them much louder then if they just walked normally.
Mark says Rhiannon in this episode, I am gonna take that as a foreshadowing...
He was subconsciously plotting it all along...
There is nothing wrong with Buffalo. they are big, muscular beasts.
Thrax Sablescales Noble too, and honored greatly by native peoples.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. I thought you'd like to know that.
Also known to possess a 9 Int score.
Hank everybody has a water buffalo, yours is pink but mine is blue
First 5 minutes: What happens when the primary healer decides to do something stupid.
9000G? The OxVenturers probably have that in a lake... Or is it on loan to a dragon? 🤔
thank GOD cam finally asked the Gin about something to fix the werewolves... I was going a bit crazy haha
Djinn*
did trell get his armor resized if not lets say he did the jin said he would do it for free
2:01:13 The dice roll sounds like that Windows XP beep. Anyone know what it is called?
I feel like the djinn would have been able to remove Crownrend as part of buying it
1:12:20 there rolling initiative and theres only three PC's rolling and im like "there has been a disturbance in the force"
Please tell me im not the only one thats excited about fan art from this stream?
I'm late to seeing this due to school work, but I'm excited to know that I share a birthday with Mark!
Man, I wish I had friends nerdy/cool enough to play D&D with. High Rollers and Critical Role make it look like so much fun! T.T
Check online. Lots of groups on Roll20 to play with, HighRollers SUbreddit & Discord always looking for peoples.
Oh wow, thanks! I'll definitely give those a looksie.
I know I’m a little late to the party but check LFG subs on Reddit, you can usually find a good game there.
If I had a nickel for each time a High Roller got de-aged I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it is weird it happened twice.
Love the genie and shopping episode, shame that Jiutou isn't present.
I'm so ready, had work yesterday and didn't get to watch the stream
i love how the group is slowly but inevitably turning into a hoard of angsty teens
Good job as always people. The Winter Spire is coming under control, Jiutou is losing control, and Cam almost died not once, but twice. What more could we possibly ask for? Keep up the good work Mark, and good luck to everyone moving forward.

happy belated birthday, trott
2000 GP FOR SENDING STONES! I GOT MINE FOR LIKE 200!
Inflation is a bitch.
WHATS THE LINK TO THE SHIRTS I NEED THAT SHIRT SO I CAN SHIW OFF TO MY FRIEND
i can't believe they didn't try to get 2 or 3 vials of the cure for lycanthropy. c'mon, it's a genie guys.
EDIT: yay, they did ask. wish trott didn't sell the rod though, cause he should have bought a second maybe and just have a portable ladder
Oh fucking shit! Cam is griffindor Elora is hufflepuff trell is ravenclaw and jiutou is slitherin
Trell seems like a slytherin as well.
If I make map pieces do you think they would use them if I sent them in.
That Ace Ventura moment though.
I wouldn't have been able to resist the tank
2:26:42 wow didn’t know cam had those types of kinks.... but then again this is cam buckland we’re talking about
THE REPORT SIR!!!
The grass is most definitely green
The air is free of pollution
There is a sweet lass here to see you
You have no appointments
The monsters are overrunning all sectors but HQ is clear
Amazing, another episode without Kim, always the best
Holy shit that was the most perilous wet willie of all time
Also I always like it when Mark is the one to read my donation, as it forces him to plug his own channel. Win.
Robe of many colors?? Shit's getting biblical!
Isn’t the Spiritual Guardian basically a Patronus as it is?
Argh, I'm almost caught up... just waiting for the next VOD to upload.
Does anyone know where i can get a copy of the list of magic items that Mark uses, I run my own campaign and this would be very helpful
ImRyanTBP there's a list of magic items and their prices in the dm guide.
Quite sad to hear there will be no more Binwin Bronzebottom anymore he was quite the character definitely a fave of mine, a bit like Cam with you guys
yay angsty teen trellimar can join angsty team juito this shit is gonna be halerios
I FUCKING love this show! I'm currently catching up. As a fellow DM I admire Matts creativitiy in his story, NPC's and details. The crown reactions to Cam, or a Genie shopkeeper who invites buyers are just examples.
I do have one question though: is there any chance you could share the price list of all the items? I have a similar Magic Item merchant (not a Genie) and this list would make my live waaaay easier
Oh wow I guessed his price for the mask correctly!
They should have asked with the bag with infinite space if they could put beds in it and live in it
Up to your con modifier + 1 minutes until you start suffocating yes
Holy shit! Marks pen spinning skills at 3:05:20
Has Cam ever used the Blessing of the Trickster?
A few times early on but it has been some time!
Does Elora still have the magic Missile thing? She never used it she should sell it
Woooooo! Tiny Trell!!!!!!!
GUYS!! Simon got his yellow teapot!
Drinking random potions gives me nethack ptsd.
It's really unfortunate that they just defaulted to using Elora's Dire Wolf stats instead of getting out the Monster Manual. If they had, they'd have discovered that Winter Wolves are actually IMMUNE to cold damage.
25th comment was late for stream so I waited till now. love you highrollers
teen trell? best i could ask for this episode tbh
Anyone knwos where i could find that price list? Thanks in advance.
Does the djinn prevent you getting items he sells or money for his wishes? Because his wish was 3000 but upgrading nimbus was 4000... Wishing to upgrade nimbus would be cheaper.
PirateDion the Djinn doesn’t like giving out wishes regardless of the wish (if its like how Djinn are in lore then every wish a Djinn casts slowly kills them, because they take a fire that resides in their bodies that represents their life force and gives them immortality, break a piece off of it and use that to grant the wish)
Also the djinn sets the cost based on the wish itself. If you wished for nimbus to be upgraded you would probably be asked to pay 4,000 g.
So... Glyph of Warding on his body, is that even possible?
Ask to trade the cloak for potions...cures
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that Fenris killed Dathamir...
