Thank you birb

I have never truly invested in an actual play but something about catching a story at the origin was appealing enough to give HR a shot. Jesus what a masterclass in DMing, RP, world building, and how to run the game when people are busy adults unable to attend every session. Round of applause to all involved. Truly the best actual play. Hopefully Mark knows that he is in the same league as Mercer and Mulligan.

please give aerois a try. its Highrollers second campaign its absolutely fantastic, had me yelling at my screen or by my self in my car when i listened to it on pod cast

I second this. Aerois is fantastic. Mark stands up there in the pantheon of DM gods. You also get to see Rhi go from full babby to queen titan in that campaign as far as her becoming a player. Sentry is maybe my favorite character from any game I’ve watched.

Everyone needs a friend like Rhi that dies laughing at your jokes

The way mark interjected in Xantheus' story just to add what I would describe as *essential* set dressing was just truly magnificent.

Just realized that both the Sunsword and Tobias wanted to send them 4 days away.

"The fire doesn't know how to be fire here" I thought I was listening to Jerry Holkins for a second.

_Imagine, if you would, a fire, but not a normal fire. A fire that probably hates its job, so it does it half-assed on good days._

God, that backstory reveal...! This must be what Critical Role viewers felt in the first campaign when's Percy's story get revealed. Dang it, if only Daisy was here! She should have been here. Would have loved to have seen her reactions, some insights from Nim.

It is rather unfortunate. At least Rhi is there but it's still rough that her character wasn't there for the story either.

Mark's face everytime he just listens expressionlessly is hilarious, he looks uncomfortable as heck XD

Xantheus: "and my fathers name is...Firelord Ozai" What a twist!! He was Zuko all along!

When Mark described vault hunting guilds I pictured the members going around the countryside and doing weird things trying to activate a vault. Like a high fantasy version of that scene from Everything Everywhere All At Once

Campaigns 2 episode 21 was called burning questions

I F***ING KNEW IT !!!!!! Screaming crying throwing up, so creative, so well thought out, I love this damn campaign. Mark, Tom, your minds. bro!

FOR THE EMPRESS!!! FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!!

This Proto-Magi vault concept is ringing all my bells and I'm totally going to semi-plagiarize it 😄❤😄

love the fridge reference. when someone casts detect magic on the stormchaser and sees the necromantic fridge... and the mystery guy ZZZ is actually now in this universe to make xantheus a fridge too. or at least get paid to 😂

The bit where they are singing...... I will leave the light on........that song....... leave the light on

I can't believe how invested in this story and world I'm getting. Here's hoping Ophelia doesn't come back during the ritual to dispell the curse.

Oh yes... Tarnished, are we? Unfortunately for you, however, you are maidenless.

i freaking love that we can see the two crucibles on mark's dm screen, also been loving their uses too, so cool !!

I listen to these episodes on full volume while I clean, and every time you guys say Percival or Percy, my cat Percy perks his ears 😻😻😻 Also the updated stats onscreen?! I was hoping our Undead Queen got a magic spec! I was leaning towards her multicasting to cleric or necromancy wiz, but warlock is going to be killer! I wonder if her pact with the Undying is going to get any Altheyan flavouring

Finaly finaly fully caught up after watching all of light fall and aerois then all the mini series and one shots highrolers has been my life for the last year absolutely love it keep up the good work

I just started listening to the campaign last week to get me through work, Now I’m all caught up and sad! Incredible storytelling

I loved this episode and the one before! Ophelias journey and Xantheus backstory are masterful storytelling. But I wonder, do barbarians not have unarmored defense in this campaign? I have thought about that before also.

They've done a couple of unique things with making Ophelia dex based and getting rage damage / spells etc. Don't think they've said explicitly what they've done (could be on Patreon sometimes things are there) but curious to see how this combo evolves!

Y’all are awesome. Just started Aerois because of how great Altheya has been so far.

Living in a bad neighborhood and hearing the sirens in the background makes me think something going on 😂😂

Ophelia literally becoming a DS3 ashen one and activated an ember on herself xd

'It'll be good to have a little man to eat'

35:20 Rowan’s words really cut deep, I was bawling my eyes out.

I thought the 4 Untethered that Ophelia came across in last ep were going to re-appear. My pet theory was that they were going to be temporary characters for the other players to inhabit for Ophelia's Greylands arc but she totally side-stepped them last time.

Xantheus, my boy!

Strange idea can we Xan a Ironman Arc-Reaktor 😅

I got my minis!!!! In the campaign I DM someone is a lionen so we finally have a mini for them.

Around 1:39:30 Tom invents a new game: Dnd words! Who's got a word you hear a lot in/only really get regular use in Dnd? In this episode Mark submitted "membranous" and "tendrils," and I would like to add "chitinous."

Love the new campaign

im loving this campaign!!

A DM skill Mark so subtly masters is creating intro scenes for new NPCs. Does he improvise them, or does he have planned scenes for each main NPC should the PCs stumble on them? It's like walking around a Rockstar game ⭐

Thanks!

Man Trott was hilarious this episode

Can we make it a fact within canon that The Greylands run on dial-up?

Non native English speaker here needing a bit of help. Is it "Greyfather" or "Gravefather"? I can't tell the difference when they say it, thanks.

This was such a good episode. Controversial opinion incoming. High Rollers is better than Critical Role. I said it. Prove me wrong. (I'm talking 2024. The Mighty Nein was fucking amazing.)

@ShonaCairncross-mq7kn

Hmm, Mighty Nein WAS amazing, but so was Aerois. While I am currently enjoying Altheya more than Bell's Hells from Crit Roll, both are near and dear to my heart and have their own standout moments of amazing content. Happily, our world has room for multitudes of stories and multitudes of different storytellers so instead of thinking "this one versus that one," I am more inclined to be thankful for them all. 😄

Has anyone noticed that high-rollers became quieter? It didn't start in this episode but I think I've been having to up my volume to hear it properly a lot more.

Spoilers: He's carrying a piece of metal alloy in his chest that is akin to something like active plutonium that is also considered extremely illegal by pretty much everyone. Oh and the church's more zealous members also considers it blasphemous to possess, and it's slowly killing him.

Can anyone add clarification on how Rhiannon casted Hellish Rebuke while she was in a barbarian rage? I thought you couldn’t cast or concentrate on spells while raging.
