"Matthew Mercer is so great he created an impromptu porn shop for one of his players." - A comment early in campaign 2 of critical roll. Monty: creates this masterpiece after Joe wanted to make a warlock that worships a cat. I absolutely love this, thankyou guys y'all are amazing

As someone that doesn't even watch Critical Roll, it hardly seems fair to compare an impromptu moment to something that was planned based on info from the very beginning of a long campaign. That said, we can agree that Monty is doing great work here!
This has become the rock of my fridays. I would love if they shared their character sheets could so we could follow along.

That "ding" from Pluto was a perfect quip after Sebastian's own "I didn't hear no bell". Veo was the MVP with tanking those hits/dodging damage and saving Sebastian's life twice
I'm a few episodes behind but want to say how much I have loved your content through the years! Happy to see Jill and Joe as parents having fun playing D&D!!! ❤ Dungeon dudes
Finally, an episode posted less than a year ago; I'm catching up! Amazing episode/arc everyone. The lore lore we've been getting in these past few episodes easily ranks among my favorite in the series
Sebastian gets MVP for face-tanking a freaking giant.
Even though that rule of death saving throws not refreshing when they stabilized was a mistake... I think it's actually a good way to stop yoyo healing and put more urgency when someone goes down.

I had a GM run it like that. It works pretty well to increase the tension, as long as your party is generally good enough to avoid death saves lol
Loved this episode. Mounty did not hold back. He gave then a few chances here and there, but he mostly went for it, specially when he attacked Sepastien after he died. Great session as always.
Great episode; Carmen San Diego references and even Rocky references. So exciting as the giant tried to make a yo-yo out of Sebastian.
Pathfinder has the Dying condition. That might be what Monty was thinking of initially. Or, like he said, a previous edition
1:09:37 - 1:09:47 That’s such a badass response
Newer go to a club with Pluto. He ends up having issues with Doormen.
Title goes hard

Very! It is time to start thinking about the names in Wrath’s book.
1:26:30 Monty had me spooked when he said death saving don't refresh, but that does makes combats even more scary if they didn't reset at short or long rests. That might be a cool idea to use for another campaign!! 😊

I use it sometimes. I generally think it's a good houserule, but I always make sure my players are on board. I usually use either it or my rest variant but not both (my rest variant is that you are limited to 3 rests per day, on an SR you can expend 1/4 of your hd rounded up, and on a long rest you can expend 1/2 your hd rounded up, don't add con to either, you regain expended hd when you go a full day without expending any. I say my rest variant but one of my players actually came up with it)
Damnit Sebastian, I’m a Doctor not an Archaeologist!
That guy was suppose to help! uhoh LOL Great episode lots of laughs mixed with sense of dread. thx all!
Yepee Yahee, Fate of Drakkenheim is back and this is good !!!!
Another amazing episode from the Dungeon Dudes, Jill, and Joe! Thanks for the amazing content. Can't wait for the release of Sebastian Crow's guide, already pre-ordered the PDF. Will be DMing an epic length 1-20 Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaign when my group finishes Curse of Strahd.
Excited for another Drakkenheim Friday! Your stream always helps get me primed for our Friday night game!
This encounter was a real catastrophe for Sebastian. Monty was a real cold killer this combat.
1:39:24 Finally we heard that bell of rumors! Nobody has heard that before!
We ran into the death save refresh thing recently too. We had been playing it as needing a rest. The DM and I also assumed we must have mistakenly carried it over from 4th.
Love this campain

If I didn't know that Monty is really good in getting protraying characters' emotions, I would've thought he reeeally wanted to kill a player character
excellent episode! The fight had me on the edge.
Cool shirt, Jill!
I love this campaign! Also if the that says didn't reset when healed man that would be brutal.
Great fight. Thank you.
Thank you!
So much fun.
I’m a bit late, but Veo Hayha is now a legit thing
You guys are the balm to my soul! Thank you so much for your content. I wonder about your thoughts on a divine soul sorcerer and order domain cleric combination? Intention is spot heal and blast.
If this was BG1\BG2, Sebastian would have exploded into bits and gone for good after that crit 😂 great episode!
Schneesturm... I just caught Sophia's last name lol
1:36:23 The Ginny Di callback! 😅Joe's the best ::chef 💋::
Isn't the shadow sorcerer feature not work because of criticals? Not that it mattered because of the DC. I love listening to this at work helps pass the time during nightshift. Such an amazing campaign.
Damage...36-24-34....what a winning hand
Vortex warping a giant? He is a madman rping the blood loss
When this was first announced I wonder if it would end in PvP, but I was thinking more along the lines of different sides of the civil war less one pc working for the BBEG. Imagine Pluto having to kill Wrath.
I found myself rooting for the frost giant here...
I thought the same thing with death saves and told my players the same thing just last session. Turns out it's a 4e rule. Huh.
How much of an archer culture? There currency is functionally ammo copper is working darts.
(Spoiler) I imagined the fight with the Giant in the Attack on Titan art style, especially Pluto’s killing blow on the giant.
Hey hello my lovely friends I have the biggest question for you. Can you twin counter spell? And how would rule it if yes?

@@codemaster2861There are two reasons: RAW: Never in the description of Counterspell does does it say it "targets" anything. It does affect one creature, but it never specifically uses the word target. RAI: Because of the way combat works in D&D, there is never a case where two spells are being cast simultaneously. Even if I counterspell your counterspell to my banishment, there is still an order of operations, and we resolve things in that order. So there will never actually be an instance where two spells are being cast at the exact same time, so there isn't a second target for the counterspell

@@aidandunne5978 I mean if I have seen you counter spell before I could intend to preemptively twin counter spell incase you do fire one off. I just think it's a cool way to add to the abjuration specialization of a sorcerer and since everything does happen "simultaneously" you would see them start to cast a spell not what spell but a spell bc of somatic spell components

@@codemaster2861 the issue is that their counterspell does go off after yours, so there is no target for your twinned counterspell when you cast it. You could preemptively cast any action or bonus action spell, but because of how reactions work (you cannot cast the spell without the triggering reaction) you cannot preemptively do something that is a reaction only. Even held actions occur on a trigger, and if that trigger never goes off, the action is lost For reality sake, we do say everything happens simultaneously, but that's not actually what happens, hence why we have initiative order: all this occurs within 6 seconds, but initiative determines in what order they occur within that time

Ok, do you know if it is edited? I mean how is Kelly counting dice so fast? It is been like that for a while now, but he rolls around 10 dice and he says: "it is 39", about a second after rolling.
Lol, KZread tells me you're playing World of Warcraft.

Followed you for 2-3 years until the adventurers fought a roach-fly and crawled into a painting. Then I got sidetracked and started watching Critical Role. Now I come back and notice that you are focused on cats. As a dog person this is highly disturbing. A Drakkenheim without dogs is like popcorn without salt if butter is meant to be cats.
