วีดีโอ

This is already like the highest quality let’s play out there… but then the Lion in Winter reference out of nowhere wowed me. Cherry on top

This really is the best actual play on TH-cam. Just wanted to say Thank you guys for 94 episodes of pure gold. As always, can’t wait for the next episode. Happy Holidays to you all. Huzzah!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone

A very fun detox with some great reminders about time in our world vs. time in the secondary world! I will say David is underselling the Roman empire in terms of average person's personal freedoms, given most folks in it were not strictly like in gladiator and a lot of cities had people just doing their thing, not to mention all the rural land since even the cities of the era are not nearly what we think of them as today. He fundamentally misses one thing though with the focus on political theory: people often act irrationally and as motivated purely by what they think is cool, and you can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into in the first place. To sway someone you have to make the argument that appeals to them, not necessarily the argument that is the most morally or ideologically consistent.

A "Beyond good and evil" heavy detox, I can get behind that!

David is going to send the army of cats and the invisible stalker after Deyno. Mort is going to rule and convert all the Goblins to Thoth, Mike is going to ride an actual bolt of lighting, and Wolf is going to sit outside, in a folding chair, of AV yelling at others to get off his yawn! Oh, Jon will still be playing the role of the cat.

Finally getting to see Mort’s plan taking shape. #mortforking #kingmort

Fun session, fun detox! Really interesting discussion about the Beastmen vs. the Goblins / Rome vs. "barbarians." But it is worth considering that the Beastmen as a Roman analogue is kind of a skin deep comparison. They have the trappings of Rome, but they're not an expansionary imperialist force (in fact, that's the Goblins!) The Beastmen so far have only been portrayed as a profoundly isolationist militia. They don't even seem to want to reconnect with the in-universe Rome (Archontea). Their only real similarities with imperial Rome have been their military culture and cult figurehead. Having said all that, I do agree it's kind of shortsighted to spill all your beans about something that happened literally a couple days ago with a faction that vociferously opposes you keeping your coolest magic item. Anyways, have a safe and happy holiday! Can't wait for the next one!

First off, purrfect role playing on Jon's part! Second, I agree that there are some very interesting concepts here and I needed to watch twice to make sure I got it all. My biggest take away was David's point about the misalignment of the "game time" with "real life time" and its impact on what information the Club should be sharing. In real life, the Club discovered the aftermath of Neferet's attack on the beastmen in episode 85 which was posted on September 10th of 2024 (in case anyone is reading this way in the future...) and they returned to the chambers in episode 90 which was posted on November 12th of 2024. So it seems like a long time since the attack and the club's "cleaning out of the undead". In game time, I believe there was two nights of rest of elapsed time between the discovery and the return to chambers (Lothar had his "surgery" and there was a meeting with King Weskenim) and I believe we are later in the same between episode 90's action and episode 94's actions. In game time, the "Cliff Divers" have only been on the move for 48 hours or so. I am with David on keeping the information you have close to the vest. I appreciate the desire to have the LRCP as set of well trained henchmen but I am not sure you need to be quite as transparent as Ted wants to be. Thank you all for sharing your game with us. Wishing you all Happy and Safe Holidays and I am already looking forward to the new sessions in 2025!

D&D is a war game set in fantasy realms about power. Play 5e to have heckin good modern political opinions.

Id say the way we focus on the freedom vs order thing is itself pretty modern. It seems very important to us because we're formally free in a way medieval and roman people generally were not, but we're also confronted by a state that is much more powerful and 'present' in our lives than most romans or medieval people.

Deyno is in mouse-form isn't she? Would be funny if one of your cat finds her...

A discussion of political theory during the Detox… and I haven’t had my morning coffee yet. Heavy!😉

Why are you planning on killing Mother? Why not just destroy her phlactery? Hard to go on with no soul.

Great episode fellas. I was so intrigued by the title and was not disappointed. I cannot wait for another episode to drop on January 7th (that seems like an eternity...I wonder how many past episodes I can binge between now and then?). Thank you again for sharing your table and hope that you all have a wonderful holiday with family and friends.

According to the adventure, Steve has a 1/6 chance of being surprised. I'm sure you caught this.

Don’t make me wait until 2025!!! I need new 3d6 content now!!! Need new Need new Need new Need new Aaaaaagh trapped with the Baboon babies in the Library of Thoth!

Excellent work Gents! You should totally keep the alliance with the beastmen. Just so you can use them to take down the flying lizard.

All the episodes I've watched I don't think I've ever seen a fight.

Well played with the Lizard John - I was wondering if you were trying to insinuate to the party that it has a gaze attack (what do you do before you see it?). I was anticipating people scrambling for mirrors…

As I understand it, cats use hearing more than smell

All roads lead back to goblintown.

Cosmic Creepers 🤗😺

Command word pspsp is comedy gold Mike, you deserve recognition for that one

Episode 3 of David being filled with hot air (in game) Nm he deactivated his boots right away

Hey! I have that same runehammer sweatshirt!

Richard Barton should totally use Matt's pull-quote of "There's so much here.... there's sooooo much!" for the Arden Vul product page on Drivethru.

Ooohhhh shit. Last episode of delve 3! I'll catch up to you guys yet!

Incredible videos. Watch many times in prep for my campaign. Would love you to revisit sometime with your war stories and gm advice for the setting

Amazing episode!

What a cliffhanger ending! I really like Heliagabulus' new personality but it did remind me of poor Jost, alas...

Caught back up. The fungal caverns are awesome

Matt's mention of the Temptation Cave immediately made me think of Chief Wiggum and the Forbidden Closet of Mystery. 😆😂🤣

The return of Heliagabulus just makes the loss of Yost all the more tragic. His name in the Yost accent was on of the early highlights of the AV Club.

Can we please get t-shirts or coffee mugs with the new motto: "Why do something cool when you can do something stupid!" and the 3d6DTL logo?

I'm chuffed to bits that a little bit of the Dalton's is still with us in some shape or form.

Staying on target is legitimately a difficult thing to accomplish in Arden Vul, the mysterious cave/tunnel is so tempting! Will be interesting to see what the AV Club decides to focus on the next session, and what sort of shenanigans they get up to with the carpets in tow.

Great motto!

Stay on target, stay on target,... Which of the 17 possible targets were we targeting again 😅

*points at 3d6DTL* That's the one right there officer. The most criminally underrated actual play on the Internet.

Good and evil all subjective eh? I smell some reddit atheism... good episode though very fun as usual!

So glad to have had the day off from work to watch this session! The play was fantastic with a ton of problem solving and no combat. Hated Elvis’ timing but what a great scene that you set there Jon. That was the second best call you made in this session and the best one was awesome! Thanks for sharing your table fellas.

Real nice session guys, so many different ways to go about the fungal area now, can't wait to see which one you'll pick!

Another good one! Nice to see a long-lost NPC reappear! Great work with the voice acting Jon!

David! Yes! Keep using that chaos and show us more the AV! (Insert evil 😈 laugh) Great job guys! Mike, the line you said about being an adult and being use to being sad should go on a coffee cup.

My body is ready, inject the 3d6DtL into my veins! (Also, good to see you guys!)

The plot thickens! What a cool twist

Woah!!! That thing I wasn’t expecting was unexpected!!!

Just commenting! Very late to the party, I am just starting Dive 3!

That bell has to be the bell Anwir dropped in the chasm
