Just getting into D&D and Dungeon Dudes has been an amazing resource! I’ve also been checking out a few campaigns on some other channels, and I look forward to yours the most! Absolutely the most entertaining and natural. The DM should start awarding Inspiration points; these players bring the characters ALIVE. Bravo.

It’s great that as a new player you found this channel! Out of all the D&D/RPG channels I’ve watched this one is the most realistic & natural. So many of the ones I’ve seen have encounters which are obviously scripted to make sure they are more entertaining. While all the decoration, costuming, props & scripted encounters on other channels can be entertaining to watch…they cause many new players to expect all gameplay to be unrealistically like that. But channels like this one shows what good gameplay looks like. However even though it’s extremely realistic…if you don’t have a good DM as well as a good group of players your gameplay either won’t be as good or at least won’t flow as smoothly. A good DM can keep the game flowing well despite having a couple new or bad players & a good group of experienced players can keep help a new a game flowing with an inexperienced DM. Hope you find a good DM & group to enjoy learning to play the game.
I am really enjoying this campagin. A good dm with good players😀
I'm loving these and look forward to watching these every Friday. This campaign is now my background listening at work. Especially for a non-professional production, you guys are doing amazing; keep it up. I also love that Jill's cat ears are getting bigger and bigger with each episode, lol. Love and Aloha from Hawaii! Also, you know what I think would be great? If you guys did a 15-20 minute "debrief" of each episode talking about the game mechanics involved in the episode as a teaching tool so we can learn from watching practical examples from the episode!
I love the constant gag of Pluto's armor just getting covered in horrible muck, grime and everything inbetween when all he wants is to be a shiny, noble knight lol
just noticed Jill's/Veo's ears adjust as she moves her head. that's awsome haha and congrats to Joe/Pluto on joining the head adornments.
Excellent story-telling guys. I wish my group was as on the ball as you are.

I haven't played D&D in like 20 years or so....got AD&D stuff and wizards+priest spell compendium (~10 books, shittons of spells) in my bookshelf. When I found out about the Dudes, I kept digging into my old D&D rules and online SRD and am sloooooowly getting addicted again. Great job guys....this series is great on audio-only too while traveling. Keep on rolling (the dice)!

Cloaks are cumbersome and would hook, drag and get in the way (especially if he tries manipulating the playing pieces). He might get away with a smaller cape, but it probably would still interfere in things.

Yeah I've been finding myself looking foward to this episode a lot, excited to see what happens in Drakkenheim. Really like this setting, makes me want to use it in a campaign. Also love these players, one of the first D&D streams that the players seem to know to play D&D well... haven't facepalmed once watching combat like I usually do with other campaigns. Also should turn on subs on twitch ( like take my money already damnit)

No dogs here! Hyenas are not members of the dog or cat families. Instead, they are so unique that they have a family all their own, Hyaenidae. There are four members of the Hyaenidae family: the striped hyena, the “giggly” spotted hyena, the brown hyena, and the aardwolf (it's a hyena, not a wolf).

Feliform is a suborder which includes cats. While not exactly the same species that are closer in relation to cats. They split between hyenas and cats is similar to the split between humans and apes.... Even though we are more closer related to chimps and bonobos.
"What if I am a hero?" *dramatic music picks up* LOL Perfect timing.
The camera placement for this one is excellent, loved the way the map was displayed. It could be better if there were zooms and what not, but the production value is very good. Love it!

There are so many little Easter eggs like that sprinkled about! I thought the fox, hen, and grain puzzle by the river was hilarious.
How D&D should be. I'm a new player and spend every day watching your videos. Thanks so much for the countless hours of entertainment and inspiration!
I love the idea of running a game that takes place in this massive urban-scape. Gets my gears turning for my own homebrew stuff.
Awesome job guys! Like everything you do, this is first rate all around.
I am officially hooked. Great job!
This series brings a lot of joy into my day. Kelly's "hot dog" joke around the 50 minute mark actually caused a laugh that made my own dog stare at me like "you're losing it man."
You guys are so much fun. Props to the DM for creating such cool stories. Gj.
Another great episode, thanks for doing these!
The language coming from the Falling Fire preachers gives me such shivers. This is the language used to convince people to sacrifice themselves for some divine goal. I guess this makes me a suspicious fellow, but I'm definitely intrigued to see where they go.
Loving this campaign, totally hooked! Keep it going 🙂
I am loving this series. The situations and challenges are so varied... and every session has some tense combat that could turn badly with just a few bad dice rolls.
Alright. I look forward to this video on Fridays now. Keep up the amazing work!
This is fantastic. You guys are awesome :)
Just found you guys. Love your gameplay. Very witty bunch! Y'all get plenty lol's from me throughout each episode. Monty, you're a top-tier DM. Thanks for the fine work & entertainment!
“Not all dogs go to heaven.” Kills a gnoll

Love "at this moment im gonna have you all do a stealth check", both of them eye pluto's dice on the roll!
She knows someone that she has nicknamed "Styx" and they'll help them cross the river, huh? If it were me, I'd say, "No thanks. Let's take the long way around. I'm still alive, and I've no reason to cross the River Styx just yet."
Campaign is getting spicy! Excited for more. Hope ya'll are having fun.

1:05:05 reminds me of the bridge riddle where you have to figure out how to get a fox, a chicken, and grain/chicken feed across a gap without anything dying or losing any food. I think it was also in poptropica. Did any else realize the relation too the riddle?

Great show. I'm very impressed and find the role play and tactical decision making of non actors a refreshing change from the over the top antics of critical role. Well played and well DMd.
I love how Pluto (the prince) was like "I know someone famous!" When he saw Crow's name on the blacksmith sign 😂😂😂 what a goofy but somehow expected thing for him to say 😂😅
Loving this series!
wasn't able to catch this one (College stuff) but glad I can still watch the recording! I'll try to make it to the next live show.
I'm a bit behind, but this is great stuff! The setting just breeds crazy stories that could go nowhere or be huge. Do it to it!
Been a follower of your tips and review videos for a while, but since backing the KS and beginning to read the pdf I thought I'd better start watching and am do very glad I did. Monty's gnoll laugh was perfect.
Bro that Knoll laugh is perfect! 😆You must have practice that lol
Been watch this while on my paid vacation from work. Your my new tv series and I'm gonna be so mad when i finish drakkenheim videos
Im so pleased Pluto got another dog pun in there. "Did you here my line?"... I heard it Pluto... I heard it.

Watching this way late, obviously, but I've been struck in this and the first episodes with how good a DM Monty is. The players are really good, too, but I like the atmosphere he sets - challenging, but you always get a sense that he loves it when his characters get cool moments and wants them to do well, without making it seem easy. Really good social intelligence and something to learn from and emulate.
Love your work guys! You're doing a great job. One piece of advice. Don't let your clothes match your backdrop
