Tuckers Kobolds with the status conditions, I absolutely love this combat!

Recent Dungeon Dudes videos were actually a spoiler - when kobolds were mentioned a couple of episodes ago, I thought this might be coming!
Kelly always forgets how lucky he is
Kobolds are always the best for a good slapstick comedy episode. lol
I love how Monty’s description of the dragon left us feeling of power and legacy. I completely missed the illusion. Monty is such a story teller. Then all hell breaks loose with the Kobolds. Classic and nuanced. 🐺
Someone needs to paint Wrath dramatically like an anime character standing over the kobold as he blasts it into oblivion
LOL I love the banter between y’all, and how forgetful everyone is. Don’t forget- Rudy can heal with her axe.

such a unique dragon encounter! great job Monty!
Finger of Death on a Kobold 🤣🤣🤣
Now that Sebastian Crowe's is out you should do a tier ranking video for the Apothecary 🙂
Will we ever see banter between Wrath and Pluto? I feel that would be fairly epic…
Super fun episode; luv the riff on Tucker's Kobolds! The homebrew statuses are really interesting; it did feel wierd to me that the weakened condition affected spells (Rudi's Magic Missile). To mo, it seems like frailty of body shouldn't detract from spells. Just a thought...

Casting a spell needs verbal and somatic components, if the body is weakened then the somatic components of the spell is weakened also.
While some of the numbers on the conditions likely need tonning down (looking at you, burning) the overall flavor has been lovely and super fun. Hella glad to se yall implementing it

Disagree, DoT has to be seriously cracked to make someone spend an action extinguishing it because of how short most combats are. I think it's just worth be cautious with how *easy* is it to apply big burn
57:55 Joe is such a gem. I laughed so hard when he cast that spell.
I binged and caught up. Now I have to wait for new episodes. :( I haven't found anything that compares to the fun and entertainment you folks bring to my life. Keep it coming!

Im almost caught up and I feel that, I still watch CR occasionally but I've found myself not caring about the current campaign much, nights of evening star has long since ended, and I stopped watching Tabletopnotch after the sudden change in the player group. This group is the only one I find myself eager to watch these days

@@Sp4rt4nSl4ya I tried CR and couldn't handle the constant swearing. Highlighted how refreshing Monty, Jill, Kelly, and Joe keep it clean. I'm an adult. I swear when situations justify it; but the constant, gratuitous use of the f-word gets annoying. Im currently looking for other groups to follow. I want real RP, not tons of bells & whistles, and trained actors. Suggestions welcome.

@@bemommyb I don't mind the cursing, it's the constant horny talk and the way current social issues are much more heavily reflected in the world and characters than in their first campaign. I watch for a good story and fun antics, while they're great actors it truly feels scripted these days, like they're trying to put on an actual performance and sell you something like a used car salesman. One of the driving factors steering me away though is the general community, you can't voice a single complaint without getting berated by their toxic fans, I really like the community here because you could actually have a proper discussion about things without being told to go somewhere else.

@@Sp4rt4nSl4ya Good insights on CR. I completely agree. I watched a little Dimension 20. But I love my Dungeon Dudes. My husband is even engaged.
I cannot believe how often the Dungeon Dudes latest episode mirrors what I have planned to run in my next game. It makes it look like I am just using them for my ideas. Damn you Monty.
“Yeah the triple dragon makes sense now 🤷♂️” 😂
LOL. Here I am, on vacation in the Caribbean, watching the 2nd half of the episode. Talking to the characters, laughing, and entertaining the staff with my reactions. Palm trees, beach, and Drakkenheim. Letting my nerd flag fly high!
Maybe I have already said it, but I love the outro music.
Seeing a weakened Rudy climb a tree, I wonder if the Weakened condition should give you disadvantage on Strength checks and Saving Throws in addition to dealing half damage, Though I could see that possibly being a bit too much of a debuff
@lauramcmillan9592

Yeah, I would do that *instead* of half damage. Or maybe roll a d4 and subtract it from all of those.
Meepo: nice nod toThe Sunless Citadel!
I just want to say, I am really enjoying the new conditions you two have created. I think it adds a lot of flavor to combat and exploration. 💜
super feature with fight in trees. I will try to do that for the next adventure I have to be a dm in. Always wonderful to hear your humor and interaction.
1:12:00 "Team kobold, blasting off again!"
Excellent and thanks a lot for the show. Please never stop this !
Tuckers kobold came to play? AWESOME status conditions also? PERFECT
I imagined wilhelm engulfed in the cloud of poison growling: "I´m Batman"
Great job to everyone involved! I love how Monty handled the kobold, and also the level of heroics the players had their characters perform; everything became larger than life!

11 months and I'm caught up! Incredible show incredible cast incredible Kyle 👏 Undoubtedly my favourite D&D series

Thank the lord
I've been waiting for this since your Tucker's Kobolds video
I loooove the music used for the jungle battle really perfect
Well done all! Thank you all! players, DM, and Kyle! excellent episode!
Monty clearly enjoyed this episode so much !!! :) :)
By far the funniest episode this year😂❤
Thank you for your fun video
I hope there is an animation of this encounter made, because it's glorious!
What a fantastic title! 😄😄😄😄👍
Power Word Misty Step slayed me 😅
Totally agree with everyone on great rendition of Tucker's Kobolds.
Good stuff, Monty, Kelly, Jill, Joe and crew! I have listened to every single one of your play sessions, and this one is way up there. Monty changing it up and borrowing a little from Kyle’s suggestion about the Kobold boss, and incorporating it so well with the magic dragon. Joe always makes me laugh my ass off. Gill metas very well and she’s low G funny, too. And Kelly also helped create Drakenheim...so, he sorta knows what’s going on. Ranks right now: Veo > Rudy Wilhelm > Sebastian Wrath > Pluto (but barely)
Let's GOOO!!
Awesome
1:12:00 has to be one of the funniest animated mental images from this campaign so far lmao. *Triple Kill*
I kinda hoped @ 1:00:15 Wilhelm (or Joe) would say "I love the smell of poison in the morning...it smells like victory!"
Could have done Steady Aim.... would have been nice to get Ballista-Sneak-Attack 😛
Monte 'Tucker' Martin is at it again
Up cast a lab through an artificer with progressively better equipment. For example a clerics would be med kit,stocked ambulance and then hospital complete with an Angelic nurse.
Sadly I was busy watching Seth's 11 part Traveller videos on Friday, as my DM decided to back burner our Friday night campaign and switch to Traveller. Good news is, that means I get a Drakkenheim Monday and can watch two shows this week!
In my home game I have a drake warden ranger who has a kobolt that turn into a dragon for there companion the dragon was called meepo. So now I know what would have happened if my player didn’t take meepo with them
55:40 if you could re create the voice effect Wraths talking in your head voive could gain some thematic effect.

Yea, Rath thinks the same few seconds later...
in dnd there is no filler arc's
Stealth and Perception the "god" skills.
Isn't a balista a big crossbow? And therefore shouldn't Wilhelm ignore the loading property?
Just curious, is it a house rule for Joe to be able to cast 2 concentration spells (invisibility and fly @ 17:22 ) at the same time?

He actually has boots of flying. He got them earlier this season. Using them does not require concentration.

Cutting down the trees in ancient forests... Well, there are a multitude of reasons to not do that. Remeber the Ents is LOTR, or forest elfs, druids or any other forest guarding creatures... Felling ancient trees is a crime against nature itself.
Horror as a genre dehumanizes humanity and makes killing, rape, war and violence acceptable. Change my mind.

I strongly believe horrors purpose is the exact opposite. If it’s goal was to normalize those things, it wouldn’t be horror at all. It’s intention is to make you feel terror by showing things that are terrible. It makes you uncomfortable because it isn’t normalized. Furthermore, the best horror has… none of the options you mentioned, and those are trademarks of very poorly made horror. I’ll admit I love many movies with death in them. But I avoid films that depict sexual assault. I love many that invoke dread and fear without resorting to violence. So honestly, this take on horror is, in my opinion, just missing the point of horror completely and if you’re mind can’t be changed, that’s on you and I’m sorry.
Woo! Kobolds my favorite little fellas! Also Amethyst GEM dragons would be neat patrons for the Amethyst academy 😉 Cant watch yet.Not done with SoD but had to chime in. Wait⚠️... why dont you Dudes do a 3 season animated series of the seasons you have done( when done with 3rd )? Alot of work but! Would LOVE to see the heroes animated, at least most moments etc. Have the animated series to launch on dvd, pay on your website to download digital. I would pay for that through a Kickstarter campaign etc. 🟣🟠" Drakkenheim Animated series!!! "🟠🟣
