Morgan and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
"I; the character, not the me" has got to be a t-shirt LOL
I want to hear "I, the character, not the me." Every week please 😂 running gag number 1 unlocked
Poor guy will get this as a verbal tic after the season.
Gonna be a t-shirt at this rate
Take my money!!!
I got such goosebumps when voices played. Especially the "we warned you" part. So creepy. You guys are doing so well
I had to go back and listen again. Amazing!
An iconic moment and it's only episode 2
Listened to it 3 or 4 times just to make sure I got it all, the look on everyones faces 🤌🏻💋
Graphic on the screen during the landslide was SO helpful. This session was just perfect. I was literally on the edge of my seat.
The production quality of this is just phenomenal! Incredible story as always but I was honestly just completely blindsided by the big pre-recorded voice track setpiece
It's really refreshing to see the players all know the basic rules, can calculate their attack modifiers, saves, DCs, and remember their skill set. Other unnamed professional players have been playing for 11 years and still dont know what 'Advantage' means and need it explained regularly.
I was so absorbed by this I left my suitcase on a train
We're happy you love the episode, but we're not happy to hear about your suitcase, I hope you got it back! >_< - Hollie
@@NaturalSix I did, thank you!

Thanks KC.
Yes Please Pin! Thanks KC
I can't get over the fact that this is episode _two._ Many would be warming up to the world, and y'all are retrieving the corpses of the gods.
My favorite bit may have been imagining Seb setting up the speakers for The Moment, giggling over how much Aoife would jump out of her skin when it happened.
I like seeing how Aofie and Ben get emotionally into the game.
2:26:04 “Morgan rolled a 1” made me choke on my drink 😂 absolutely loving this so far, keep up the amazing work!
Always enjoy looking at fresh and new Actual Plays. I am enjoying this group very much. Will keep a close eye on this campaign. Thank you @NaturalSix for allowing us to join you on this adventure.
I have never been so invested in a session. Something about the stakes, the vastly varied personality types, the immersive flavor. It is top tier and I constantly think "Ooo how's it gonna be when they get to "point a,b,c"!
Dear lord, the *moment* (out of context: poking orbs) was executed so well. Chills, really excited to see how this goes
I wish these were weekly! Missed you guys last week :(.
I am loving the idea of having each show every other a week. I do listen in spurts so I have time to digest the episode and then get a lovely Action Surge for the behind the scenes. You guys are doing an amazing job. I'm new at D&D. I didn't know the players could do anything and have the DM on their toes. It sort of like a game of chess.
Yes and no. It's more like interactive, cooperative story-telling. Though it can get competitive! Still, all in good fun.
I’m just loving this. Harry is a fabulous story-teller; and his players are so engaged! Top class.
They're not engaged. Harry is talking non stop, constantly. They're barely playing at all. Harry is clearly an excellent story teller, but freaking heck let the players participate!
Oh my days! That one poignant moment was an absolute triumph in set up and execution!
If you know, you know.
Excellent again
Okay, 20 mins in and the people and music has sold me.
This is so cool. In my current game my Eladrin is part of a warrior house that guards a rift that is open between the Shadowfell and the Fey Wild. So when then said "we will be prepared" i was i am like heck yeah we will.
Love to see initiative being used for things another than combat. At the edge of my seat the whole time the landslide was in play
I listened to this on podcast, the sound quality is really good and I would recommend it if struggle with time to watch length video, like me
I’m absolutely loving the story and how much variety there has been in the gameplay! And the voices “moment” was top tier! Can’t wait for the next episode! Also, as a Xenoblade fan please tell me that the name “Antiqua” is a nod to Melia haha
Relatively recent D&D player, only started in October, but I'm loving the game and loving this channel
Same here! I've tried a few actual plays (some more famous than others!) but this one oozes quality. Very excited to catch it in its early stages!
Ditto, though I do consider myself a Critter lol. I can't wait to see where they take this.
Just finished my first listen and I’m already jumping in for a second round, this episode was STELLAR!!!!! I loved how haunting and stressful the story has become with these new revelations. Everyone at the table played their characters to perfection, especially I, Radion and Endellion. I DON’T WANT TO WAIT TWO WEEKS AAAHHHHH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just finished watching this episode, and I have to say it was spectacular. Harry has done a phenomenal job of making story super engaging and it’s so fun to see the gang interacting together. I normally struggle to sit through long episodes of anything, but gobbled this down in one sitting!! Can’t wait for more 🤩
This episode was AMAZING! I was so invested the whole way through. The voices was sooo shocking and I loved how it was a great moment for the viewer to be just as surprised as the player. Also really loved the landslide! Usually there is only rp and battles so this was quite unique and sooo fun. The graphic for it was perfect to follow along. So freaking cool to see my name in the credits. Can't wait for the next episode.
I just wanted to say that something i would love to see in these episode is the subtitles. As a non english native speaker sometimes i lose some words and having subtitles would help me so much retracing what i loose and don't understand, of course i am not asking for subs in every language, just english subtitles (that are not automatically generated) would be something i'd love to see!
Now i'm going to shut up and watch the show :)
That set-piecey section in the latter half was crazy, really enjoyed watching that play out. I was really hoping (SPOILERS for that section!) M would be passed the rope towards the end to drag them over the line 🤣
Thank you very much for uploading it here, couldn't stay yesterday for the whole session and cannot wait to see the rest.
It was so dramatic and gripping, Harry is the best narrator and all the characters are also absolutely perfect.
Wish you all a very lovely day.
this story is incredible. Can't wait to see what the PCs will discover next - if Morgan survives ;-)
In regards to the two saving throws lost I would be remiss not to point out that is the autocrit that does that.
The autocrit specifies damage from a creature that is 5 feet away (i.e. adjacent to the target).
AoE's and range attacks only cause one saving throw to be lost. So certainly not all the time though at DMs discretion might be applied in this case.
This episode made me cry. I'm going to enjoy this campaign so much... I'm so happy that I discovered and subscribed to this channel, and this campaign is going to be so good.
Love the chase. Love to see well executed alternatives to combat
Such beautiful storytelling, absolute gutwrenching sorrow too. I and Parvas had me in tears! Can't wait to see where this is going. Bravo
I like that there is a structure to each episode which makes the larger story easier to follow...
Okay, but why is this one of the most fun series I've seen in a while? Great job, everyone! Looking forward to this!
I had a DMPC in a 3.5 game, could not roll a save, could not hit with an attack roll, had to make a casting roll for some of her magic or take damage (strange alternative caster option), she almost killed herself. Morgan just reminds me so much of her, the dice gods do not approve of some DMPCs.
The avalanche is a Great encounter Harry, you really make it clear that this is largely a learning moment so the players can both familiarize themselves with different encounter objectives and also familiarize themselves with their kit and capabilities. Great design
I love Alex. I'm 5s into this video and I don't know anything about the content, I just love Alex.
The orb bit between the flash of an argument and the big tree was gold
Such an emotional beginning. I definitely want to hear/see more about the gods of this world! The rolls at the end were all over omg, so stressful!
Morgan is just having the WORST day.
Interesting approach to make the characters privy to a world-shaking revelation at the beginning of the campaign. I'm actually intrigued to know how the group will use and handle this knowledge going forward. Harry's homebrew is top notch, and Reliquiae is such an interesting world. I really can't wait to learn more. I'm also desperate for the group to get their first taste of running amok in civilisation. What will happen when I (the character, not the me) finally speaks to a shopkeeper?
I (the me, not the character) loved the pre-recorded section as a gimmick to really drive home the events of the temple. What a note to end their exploration on! Hollie's decision not to search the room and instead look out of the window, as her character would, is top tier roleplaying without the metagaming. How can she hate D&D when she's so good at it?! And the chase sequence genuinely got me worried that Harry was going to wipe out the entire party in the second session, but his control of the table and the flow of the action really impressed me yet again. Eagerly awaiting Session 3.
Well, that was a rollercoaster of emotions!! What an AMAZING session 2! ❤ The Orbs! 😲😱😲 💯
This may be my third time watching... but can we get a massive shout of for the background music! Sets the tone, the mood and the ambience so well
The part when the voices played was amazing, I love it. The next episode can't come fast enough! Hopefully it's this week.
Oh man what a fun watch this was, with such a great group of characters (both in-game and out)! Can't wait for the next one.
I love the show but as an observation. Someone should remind the Druid that he has wild shape and could have turned into a large beast with a 40 foot movement speed that could then move 80 a turn and carry someone while doing it.
Still great and fully enjoy everyone playing, look forward to see how this works out.
Part of me wishes I'd not discovered this until next year so I could binge watch.
This episode was incredible!! I found myself so drawn into the story and emotion (the RP is getting better and better), even tearing up a little. The descriptions of the environment and the characters in this situation really helped me to see the world and understand the affect of what was happening (HELLO, THOSE VOICES??!). Then, OH THEN, just when I thought things were winding down a bit as the party moves forward, BAM! That was soooo unexpected and fun! I can't wait until the next episode!
I love that everyone is having fun. This was very exciting and thrilling to watch, well done everyone.
Well done you lot! This story just started with a BANG and keeps on going. I'm looking forward to more time spent with you.❤
Absolutely incredible storytelling… loving this campaign so far 🎉
The wait felt SO long, I was gagging for the next episode, so happy it’s here! Thank you.
This is so good! It took me several days to watch it in instalments, but boy is it worth it!
loving the show so far. It seems some presentation details are still being ironed out so here are my two cents, if you'll have them:
- either use a D&D style game/world map to represent where players/NPCs are in the world or
- enhance the presentation of the digital HUD thing going on in the bottom left..I think even an arrow at the outer border of player/NPC circles to indicate their direction would be a huge help
I'm only 1/2 way through this episode and already, well done!
I was saving this to listen at work today. Such a fun episode.
Somehow my ADHD self managed to get through the whole lot with only a couple of breaks. What an episode.
Also “that” moment was incredible. You know the one I mean right? With the orbs.
Also that end was epic, what a cleverly designed encounter
Watch at 1.5 speed. I watch all actual plays at 1.5 speed. Can't watch them otherwise and it doesn't affect the quality especially.
So much fun, and that whole landslide portion was nail biting!
Another excellent episode! Well done all of you.🤩
As a individual, who is getting back into DND after several years away im really enjoying this campaign so far. 👍
As a fighter for several years being a meat tank, justice for Morgan XD
I love the landslide part, it was so immersive!
Great stuff yet again. Loved those crazy voices by way of magical orb!
24:57
all the lotr nerds watching
"mellon!"
I had to scroll way too far in the comments to find this!
Poor Morgan. He’s had a hell of a day.
You are compelling storytellers, this is truly excellent
loving the visual tools.
Awesome session! Loved it!
Great episode, you are all awesome.
Good stuff!
Looking forward to the next, and the post show reactions 👍
Morgan constantly being in danger of death cracks me up.
What a leader. 😅
Made even funnier by the dressing down he gave Raidion about claiming to be the leader in Session 1.
This was phenomenal! Thank you so much! Can't wait to see what happens next ❤
You guys are doing great, keep up the amazing work
Great session
Hate to admit it (and will probably get flamed by everyone), but I think this, so far, is better than Crit. Role. The plot doesn't get weighed down with unnecessary banter.
I would say that depends on which CR campaign. Blanket statement? Disagree. C2 and C3? Mostly Agree.
I don't necessarily agree. I love the banter between the characters in CR. Especially in C1 and C2. C3 lost me quite quickly, so I definitely agree there.
With that said, I love how fast this has gotten the plot going, and the characters seem amazing, so I definitely look forward to getting to know them.
I agree wholeheartedly. Crit takes itself a little too seriously at times and gets bogged down in the _performance_ - my adhd brain can't get through it even though I like it for the first ~hour or so.
This is just a little lighter or more relaxed but the performance and story is still there and strong.
No flames here. I was excited by Natural Six because it was different from Critical Role, which I can't watch.
I'm a fan of both & honestly I'm liking both equally so far.
Ok, I have to say it...
Trouble in Paradise? hahaha
This is ridiculously entertaining
The music is so excellent, headphones are a must.
Thanks
This was awesome!
Great stuff
I mean... The production of this is insane and the story quite promising hope for the best
Morgan needs his own comedy spin off!
Would it be possible to add a character list of the NPCs to the description of the episode?
Like a running list of characters that have been encountered and a small summary that could be referenced?
I haven't seen anyone comment on the amazing landslide sequence yet! I loved the machanic. Great job Henry. Was the homebrew chase inspired by anything?
AMAZING 😄
Love those avalance mechanics
Fu..cking..chills
Yes. Just... yes. And thank you.
Love the game so far! Is it possible to get a transcript of the recording? It was really hard to understand in parts but really cool!
There needs to be an animated series inspired by this campaign.
😂morgan is some kind of superman, because if someone got hit by a landslide, its basically impossible to get out of it again😅.
What a fun table! I would love to join as player No#6 - I’ll roll a cleric !
I tried playing along, but during the running scene I would have rolled a 1 on EVERY turn except the first and last! To make matters worse, I’d chosen a Halfling character, so his speed was only 25ft. Lol
This is pretty ambitious, taking this approach so soon. I just think that it might have been more impactful if we as the watchers got to know a bit more about the virtuous before this event came about. But as for the party.. none of them seem to be very religious except for the druid, so I respect the choice of using this event as a catalyst for the plot.
I'm hoping we'll come to understand the importance and the reach of the Virtuous as the world begins to change around the characters in future episodes. Though the reaction of their clerics alone did it for me. If you really want to demonstrate the impact of a character death, show it through the ones left behind.
Going to make a bold prediction, by the end the antiquer (spelling?) will become the new gods (and for a twist one of the party does). Would be a neat twist.
I saw some theories floating around the discord that Raidion is a former/fallen god. Not sure if there’s any actual evidence but it sounds cool
Are there any notes or anything published about this setting or campaign? I love Homebrewing most of my own things but some things from this i'd love to borrow/steal for my players.
