Incredible work--the storytelling, the fits, the minis, the whole production is first rate. All the emotions. PLEASE announce a second season (maybe featuring Baccha?!)
"Zombie Sangeet: Undying Love On The Dancefloor" sounds like a film I would watch.
Laddoo Auntie with the Sharpshooter crit! Love it.
Awe Jasmine you broke me. I was choked up, but as soon as you started so did I. All of you did such an incredible job. I loved getting to see a story told through your collected culture. Desiquest will be missed.

Thank you so much!!
Every aspect of this actual play has been amazing and I'm so glad the finale is here.
I absolutely NEEED another season oh my god
in these captions we have: La Duante as Laddoo Auntie Lord Dewanti as Laddoo Auntie but by far my favorite is "let me tell you" as Laddoo Auntie
What a great ending!!!!! Thank you to all the DesiQuest cast and crew for allowing us to be at the table!!!!
This entire production was a great take on a desi DnD setting! Gives me a lot of motivation for the One shot I'm trying to host for my Cousins this summer! ❤️
May this be but a season finale with many more stories to come.
We're at the finale already?! This was so fast, I loved every second 🥲
Such an incredible Actual Play series. The love that’s gone into it from everyone in front of and behind the camera is evident. Brilliant storytelling from Jasmine that weaves in a culture I’m personally unfamiliar with in such a beautiful way. Both entertaining & educational with superb RPing from everyone that joined the table throughout. Congrats all on an excellent season.
Amazing work👏 Thank you to all, in front of the camera and behind! You all made something special🌿
I would love to see this Candela Obscura ad with Sitara and Charlotte in CR's stream break rotation
What a wonderful conclusion to a lovely journey. Thank you so much for inviting us along!
I have never been so sad for the conclusion of a show…ever. It was amazing and fantastic, thank you
An amazing finale to an amazing actual play series!! Thank you for sharing this delightful story with us. hoping for a season 2!!

You and me both!
I missed the first Kickstarter, but I hope you'll manage to do another one and make a season two. Congratulations on a wonderful project!
Aww a beautiful finale and adventure, hears to more desi quests, exceptional rep of all cultures and drinking chai with friends 🙏🏾❤️
This was AMAZING! Why'd you all make me cry at the end? Please please please don't let this be the end!
This was amazing! Hoping for a season 2 or at least more stories in this world.
I'm not even caught up but let's go bb! such a great cast and show Its bittersweet tonight is the last premiere night
How do I join the chant for season 2???? I'd love to see these characters have more adventures! Murkha "Oh, I'm doing good, I'm just living in a fire tunnel" lol and "my reflection looks absolutely incredible" extra lol Laddoo Auntie and Sitara making me tear up at the end there ("THAT is the person I'll stay with 😭but also the comedic timing of "it was in the other one?" and "I can hit people with any shoe"🤣). Ash's finale Inflict Wounds was amaaazing!!! Jasmine that ending speech 😢❤ What absolutely stellar cast, guests, and crew! Amazing work and I hope everyone is so so so so SO proud of the incredible thing you've all made together. THANK YOU for sharing it and here's to more in the future!!

Our pleasure! We made this for all the nerds but especially the desi ones :)
Desiquest is incredible! Thank you for keeping it available, as I've only just discovered it. Thank you for amazing storytelling, tying culture into TTRPG, and making it truly your own. I hope Desiquest comes back...after all, there is still more to do!
Amazing series! I have enjoyed every episode. This was truly a new and unique experience to watch. It was very obvious how much fun you all were having. Jasmine I have watched (as far as I know) every ttrpg show you have done and you are consistently fun to watch. You are a great DM. I look forward to more from you.

I love this show!! So excited for this finale
Rules notes: 13:30 - A nat 20 automatically hits on an attack roll, regardless of AC and modifiers. (And nat 1 automatically misses.) This is separate from it being a crit: even if a grave cleric or adamantine armor or something prevents it from being a crit, it still automatically hits because of the nat 20. And a champion fighter that crits on a 19 doesn't make that an automatic hit. (Some tables house-rule that nat 20s and/or nat 1s are special on ability checks and sometimes saves. In 5e rules-as-written, it's only attack rolls.) --- Hellish Rebuke is a reaction spell. Legendary actions are things a "boss" enemy can do between turns, not reactions. But I guess you could homebrew a monster that can use up one of its legendary actions per round on Hellish Rebuke instead of spending a reaction normally, or something like that. Or as the only way it can cast Hellish Rebuke. And yes, wildfire spirits are fire elementals, immune to fire :) Scorching Ray damage is 2d6 per ray. I'm not sure if the +7 Anjali added was her spell attack modifier or what. Fortunately even the 12 she rolled on 2d6 was enough to kill the target so it didn't matter. (I think they're only level 5. At level 6, she'd get an extra 1d8 to add to the first fire damage she does on a turn while her wildfire spirit is out.) --- RAW, Divine Smite only works on *melee* weapon attacks. But ranger/paladin is a fun multi-class that's probably not OP if you don't take feats like Elven Accuracy for more crit smites. --- This channel divinity confirms my guess that Ash is a Life-domain cleric. The healing can't bring people above half HP, but it's quite a lot of total healing and great when multiple people are low. He can do it once (per short rest)? So they're level 5. Level 6 gives you 2 uses per rest. And it's not a spell, so yes it combos great with Spiritual Weapon. And nice, 1d8 + Wis (+5) = 13 is max damage. --- 40:45 - Bless should still be active on Auntie. It would only end on her if Ash lost concentration on it, e.g. if *he* got knocked unconscious. If she'd fully died and been revivified, there might be some question, I'd have to google that. But just going unconscious? She wasn't concentrating on bless (or anything else; she was raging), the caster was. And Bless itself doesn't say anything about special conditions for ending early on a target (unlike e.g. invisibility.) RAW rage ends when you're knocked unconscious; Jasmine allowing her to continue a frenzied rage instead of having to spend a bonus action to spend a new one (and having a level of exhaustion from the first one ending) was a generous way to support Luis's narrative RP about what his healing arrow did. Losing Bless instead is a smaller penalty but partly balances out that rule-of-cool bonus. --- 48:40 - Legendary resistances are totally separate from legendary actions. Most creatures that have one have both, usually 3 legendary actions per round, and 3 / day legendary resists. Spending a legendary resistance doesn't cost anything in the action economy, it just turns a failure into a success on one roll of a saving throw. (Just like making a saving throw in the first place doesn't even cost an action, despite narratively ducking and covering from an incoming fireball for example.) That's RAW; Jasmine may be intentionally homebrewing it if she doesn't like the (lack of) narrative explanation for how a creature would know it's spending a resistance. Or some mechanical balance reason. --- 1:04:00 - RAW, drinking a potion costs a full action, or to administer one to someone else. (Not a free object-interaction). A common houserule is that you can drink one yourself as a bonus action, especially at larger tables: when it takes a long time to get back to your turn, spending your whole turn drinking a potion sucks. --- Hellish Rebuke is a reaction to taking damage; normally you have to survive the damage to be able to take the reaction to cast the spell. But narratively, this isn't an ordinary mortal; maybe the body exploded in fire as it ran out of HP, or the spirit flailed around some. Inflict Wounds is a touch spell (big risk for the life cleric to run up and cast it!) Ash should get a dex save to take half, but maybe they didn't bother because either way he's unconscious but not insta-killed by going to negative max HP. ---- Very nice wrap-up to the campaign! Jasmine did a nice job of putting a finger on the scales (metaphorically) to make combat feel risky and dangerous, but still have the heroes survive. e.g. a generous ruling or having an NPC do some healing when some unlucky rolls had the party in trouble.
"Channel your inner Brennan Lee Mulligan" is crazy!!! 🤣❤😂 Where's that second season green light though?? 😎 Or do we gotta wait another 5 years? 🤪

You're welcome
pausing at 9:06 min to say, i think there was a miscount: 7+5=12, not 13. fingers crossed that 1 point won't be fatal later.
Season 2? :)
Looking forward to the finale of a wonderful story. Many rounds of applause for the talent wall to wall in DesiQuest. Thank you all so much .
