Rogue breaking character because of the loot table and having to pay out for a rope they broke is an absolute truth and I'm so glad to have seen it happen live action.
True. First thing I noticed playing(late '70's, early '80's{yes, I'm old}), people got sentimentally attached to items they first acquired(bag of holding, etc.) early on, and got, ah, emphatic(?), when the items are lost, destroyed, broken, misused...

What's funny is I had just clicked over from a video "D&D Rules everyone gets wrong", and this is one of them. XD So if the other video is right... Rowan got it wrong anyway.
Hope season two has these awesome characters meet the awesome characters from the NPC D&D. Just in passing. Love, love, love both and this is an amazing series. 🍻
I always disagree with the rules lawyer about shaleili - the half orc could never have let go of the staff because she never was allowed to start casting heal in the first place
It's also why I Home rule that you can cast "up to one leveled spell on your turn" to help simplify it ^.^ Also found it hilarious that Rowan cam in with "Ready action" for the rogue cause it was what was going through my head as they argued about "not my turn" ^.^
Showing these skits to my friends (even the 3.5 purists) was so fun. We all laughed, there were many moments we said “yeah, that’s how it is”, and it was just fun.
Fagrim and his idential brothers Tagrim Hargim Margim Bargim Lagrim Zlagrim Ptargrim (The P is silent) Are my favourite! H M and B are not clear if they died on screen or it's just different pronouciations of one name. I'm pretty sure they were dying off screen though XD.
Don't hate me, but I've never played D&D before (not much of a roleplayer), but this series definitely has made me appreciate it a lot beyond being "just an RP boardgame".
I'm sure I mentioned this on some of the individual videos as well, but the music for each scene is so perfectly chosen! It is amazing to me that you managed to get 30 minutes of REALLY good content filmed in only three shoot days. You all are so impressive and talented.
The Goliath and the rogue are my favourites, a pity Britt kind of disappears in the later episodes but I guess it's hard to get the full party something to do each episode. Here's hoping there will be many more seasons and I hope everyone will return for those too.
"Not my turn" is why I allow party combo's out of initiative order (within reason of the initiatives each player rolled). The rogue can say, "I lock eyes with our Druid and gesture to move to the side" and if they have any movement, actions, or bonus actions left I'll allow them to use that. They can't move a tremendous amount but up a portion of the movement so things like this can happen. One of the rogues in my current campaign combo'd with our artificer as they were close in initiative and he nodded to the artificer towards a target. He cunning action hid with a 30 and moved into a sneak attack position while the artificer used thunder wave. They described it as a the rogue sneak attacking with his rapier and then backing up as the thunderwave was cast. Because of the failed save, the bandit was knocked back into a wall and couldn't opportunity attack the rogue. Giving players fun ways to have combat is exciting.... and it saves SO MUCH TIME when they are using their turns together lol. *I extend the same rules to the Enemies and NPC's as well, giving players an added level of difficulty to combat when fighting coordinated opponents. If you want to implement it, I recommend allowing less freedom to those who have a larger initiative difference to keep believability and not sleight party members who rolled well on the initiative. Example: The 2 initiative bard may only be able to use a small amount of movement when it's the 20 initiative Barbarians turn, but may have a greater amount of movement they can use when it's the 5 initiative Fighters turn. Also encourage players to indicate when they want to act alone or combo with nuanced language like "I lock eyes with x character," or "I act alone this turn," or "I garner my strength for a solo all in" and etc. The players love it so far. Lastly, It helps to encourage them by having an allied NPC attempt to combo with them so they have an example.
I love seeing the kickstarter add. I checked it, and the community KILLED IT! Well done, everyone, I can't wait to see what they do with that kind of funding. This is going to be EPIC.
The part about the player who wrote the biggest backstory forgetting everything tied to said backstory and everything that’s happened in the game so far is a legitimate pain. I personally has to CONSTANTLY remind people, especially the people who are already thinking about their next ten characters.
They keep the gameplay honest. I'm impressed that they actually used valid cases from 5e though. They're explicitly correct readings of the rules which get glossed over frequently too. Without a couple solid rules lawyers to cut them off, the munchkins will turn your campaign into personal jerkoff sessions.
@@CtrlAltRetreat Yes and No, While a rule's lawyer can raise an objections, It is the DM which is the arbitrator and in my opinion the one which ensures the session does not (how did you say) turn into a jerkoff session.
This was a fantastic series. That being said, actually, you can cast two leveled spells in the same turn as long as the other spell is a reaction. For instance, say you cast Hold Person, and the target succeeds the saving throw, you can use your reaction to cast Silvery Barbs even though it's still your turn. The only thing you can't do is cast a leveled spell with a casting time of one action and a leveled spell with the casting time of a bonus action in the same turn. In addition, you can actually use two bonus actions in the same turn. One of the bonus actions simply replaces an action.
Crunch's 'player' is the sort that used to drive me crazy. 'Like, dude... you're 'in' the game, pay attention to what's going on. Tagrim's player would be the one who took a long time to learn his lessons but... hey, he's at least aware of what's going on. This is parody to perfection.
Faragrim reminds me of the bard in an old low budget dnd movie I watched years ago. DORKNESS RISING it was called. The guy playing the bard used an identical character sheet every time a bard died. Once his party was saved by hiding behind a pile of dead bards. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way that this ends, with the Barbarian saying "Oh... that's right." Was played flawlessly. Tone of voice, posture, facial expression - everything about that snippet was absolutely perfect. Despite the context it made my brain immediately start bouncing through a dozen or more different story ideas... all of them as cool as the last. He really can pull off a "makeup villain" if he can maintain that demeanor for a feature length film. His expression showed, very quickly, in the time it took him to say three short words, confusion, consternation, fear, and foreboding. It tells you, without needing the words, that all of his friends are about to die. The _way_ that he delivered that short, simple statement was a flawless mix of sudden understanding, and in equal parts the realization that he had made a horrifying mistake. The fact that this happened, without the intent to do so, immediately shifted everything from half an hour of laughter and fun - to a sobering tone of dread. It felt like the very start of an epic, but terrible, story to come. Absolutely astounding.
Core channel members: Britt Scott Clark, Ben, Alen, phenix, Adam, Rowan, Ellie, and last but nowhere near least Rob the fantastic Dungeon Master. Masters of your trade. Absolutely astounding!
11:15 evertime i watchedd this/listened to this i wondered why his voice reminds me of someone and i feel like swooning. and now i realized that he sounds like Cary Elwes in Robin Hood: Men in Tights in these seconds. to my ears, at least.
Need an episode with a luck/bad luck or a fumble for Targrim obviously (sorry if i missspell the name) where we can see the actual giant dice crushing him :v
My first campaign I was a Dwarf Warlock and I crit failed an attack and critical hit myself in the face with my axe. I did actually survive, but I definitely didn't live it down. We laughed about it for the rest of the campaign pretty much.
... I saw bits of the "Warcraft" movie last night on TV. Seriously. Your makeup is *at least* as good as theirs. The effects with the advancing black veins are *even better*. Incredible. Just... incredible.
As someone who's watched an ABSURD amount of these videos... I'm stunned to say the Rogue is by far my favorite character in any skit. The attitude and acting is perfect for a rogue and the French accent just seals it 🤌
I always thought of it as the characters getting healed by the cleric during a long rest or say if you have a ranger then he forages for herbs to heal with etc
"I, unlike you guys, can survive alone", says Zlagrim the 'who-knows-how-manieth' identical brother of Fargrim, who had to replace the previous wizard that died in way less dangerous situations. Bro, you can't even survive "with" them, your chances without them aren't even 0% lol 😂EDIT: Demokas' "bish, what?" face after that line just killed me 🤣 Though, that's what I like about this part. Almost all newbie Wizards think they're the sh*t because of some cool spells and overestimate themselves; but what they don't get is that a) those spells are limited in their preparations and daily uses, and b) Wizards are still glass cannons that die easily. It's nice to see these problems represented in a series. Love these guys ♥

@@CtrlAltRetreat Yes and No, While a rule's lawyer can raise an objections, It is the DM which is the arbitrator and in my opinion the one which ensures the session does not (how did you say) turn into a jerkoff session.
This was a fantastic series. That being said, actually, you can cast two leveled spells in the same turn as long as the other spell is a reaction. For instance, say you cast Hold Person, and the target succeeds the saving throw, you can use your reaction to cast Silvery Barbs even though it's still your turn.
The only thing you can't do is cast a leveled spell with a casting time of one action and a leveled spell with the casting time of a bonus action in the same turn.
In addition, you can actually use two bonus actions in the same turn. One of the bonus actions simply replaces an action.
I'm so happy you guys made a super cut of this. I didn't get all the notifications and had missed them. I love your guys work.
I hope we'll see more of this!
I have never played D&D but I still watch every video
Half orc is my fav character in this series. She rocks !
seeing the barbarian be friendly and talk normally was a trip lmao
Byron's acting is just next level haha what a guy
The rope thing was petty as hell, but they're screwing over the rogue so it's fine!
I really hope they write several seasons for this show, it’d awesome! I love all of these characters, and you guys’ acting is great!
Crunch's 'player' is the sort that used to drive me crazy. 'Like, dude... you're 'in' the game, pay attention to what's going on.
Tagrim's player would be the one who took a long time to learn his lessons but... hey, he's at least aware of what's going on.
This is parody to perfection.
Faragrim reminds me of the bard in an old low budget dnd movie I watched years ago. DORKNESS RISING it was called. The guy playing the bard used an identical character sheet every time a bard died. Once his party was saved by hiding behind a pile of dead bards. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
gotta admit, the make up and prosthetics in this is $%^&ing great. i cant even recognize half the actors even WITH their voices.
The way that this ends, with the Barbarian saying "Oh... that's right." Was played flawlessly. Tone of voice, posture, facial expression - everything about that snippet was absolutely perfect. Despite the context it made my brain immediately start bouncing through a dozen or more different story ideas... all of them as cool as the last. He really can pull off a "makeup villain" if he can maintain that demeanor for a feature length film.
His expression showed, very quickly, in the time it took him to say three short words, confusion, consternation, fear, and foreboding. It tells you, without needing the words, that all of his friends are about to die. The _way_ that he delivered that short, simple statement was a flawless mix of sudden understanding, and in equal parts the realization that he had made a horrifying mistake.
The fact that this happened, without the intent to do so, immediately shifted everything from half an hour of laughter and fun - to a sobering tone of dread. It felt like the very start of an epic, but terrible, story to come. Absolutely astounding.
The orc flip was amazing. That's a talented acrobat they hired!
Everyone's amazing in this. High quality production and wonderful sets
Core channel members: Britt Scott Clark, Ben, Alen, phenix, Adam, Rowan, Ellie, and last but nowhere near least Rob the fantastic Dungeon Master. Masters of your trade. Absolutely astounding!
Chu fuckey nasshole! You're forgetting byron, byron has been there since the beginning
Can you tell me who is playing the bald blue guy and who Ellie playing as?
I love this final "roll for initiative" xD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Tall mysterious and hooded," and the dwarf cuts in with the purpose of a giant. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
11:15 evertime i watchedd this/listened to this i wondered why his voice reminds me of someone and i feel like swooning. and now i realized that he sounds like Cary Elwes in Robin Hood: Men in Tights in these seconds. to my ears, at least.
Need an episode with a luck/bad luck or a fumble for Targrim obviously (sorry if i missspell the name) where we can see the actual giant dice crushing him :v
The P is silent
At this rate, even if you spell the name wrong, it'll end up right for one of the Brothers Grim.
As long as you get the grim part right any spelling is right for alphabet-grim.
My first campaign I was a Dwarf Warlock and I crit failed an attack and critical hit myself in the face with my axe. I did actually survive, but I definitely didn't live it down. We laughed about it for the rest of the campaign pretty much.
Gosh I’m rewatching this again and I absolutely love these characters, y’all always do such a great job! Much love from Texas!
That dwarf sure has a lot of identical brothers lol
rip fargrim, talgrim, palgrim, balgrim, yalgrim, zlagrim, and ptalgrim😢top ten saddest anime moments, i cried every time
Hours after watching this, I am bursting into laughter at the sound of *algrim screaming after being hit.
... I saw bits of the "Warcraft" movie last night on TV.
Seriously. Your makeup is *at least* as good as theirs. The effects with the advancing black veins are *even better*. Incredible. Just... incredible.
20:50 Incredible sets! Wow! Looks like you rented a whole cathedral.
I love when they have Phoenix, Tameka, and Emmett join the usual gang in these skits. ❤
No joke I got into D&D recently thanks to this channel.🙏🏽
Outstanding work. Can't wait for season 2!
I have always conceived it as the turns all happen at the same time just that those with a higher initiative roll start like 1 second sooner
This series make me want to play dnd 😯
I actually got a few of my online friends to play together after watching viva la dirt. Pretty fun ngl.
@@Hitoshuratdn Wow bro ❤️
@Wilma imagine being a bot
love the guy who plays the barb... hes.... killing it ;)
The rope scene. The level of pettiness. XD Im dying!
The mighty Kraken killer, being killed by a rat is the best.
The cast for this is so great!!! all of you did such an incredible job
As someone who's watched an ABSURD amount of these videos... I'm stunned to say the Rogue is by far my favorite character in any skit. The attitude and acting is perfect for a rogue and the French accent just seals it 🤌
Phoenix Cross and Tameka Sowman Vahatau are both gorgeous, just gotta openly simp
I always thought of it as the characters getting healed by the cleric during a long rest or say if you have a ranger then he forages for herbs to heal with etc
"I, unlike you guys, can survive alone", says Zlagrim the 'who-knows-how-manieth' identical brother of Fargrim, who had to replace the previous wizard that died in way less dangerous situations. Bro, you can't even survive "with" them, your chances without them aren't even 0% lol 😂EDIT: Demokas' "bish, what?" face after that line just killed me 🤣
Though, that's what I like about this part. Almost all newbie Wizards think they're the sh*t because of some cool spells and overestimate themselves; but what they don't get is that a) those spells are limited in their preparations and daily uses, and b) Wizards are still glass cannons that die easily. It's nice to see these problems represented in a series. Love these guys
♥
Lol "glass cannons."
Perfect description for wizards, must remember it!
I’d love to play D&D with you all. It’s a something I’ve always wanted to do but never had anyone to play with. At least I can watch this. My thanks.
The ending makes it clear no one there takes note taking that seriously.
I gotta good feeling about Ptargrim the Great's chances in season 2.
I like how Rowan wasted his whole turn just to lecture the rogue on readying an action 😂
-not my turn skit
pretty sure he shot a guy on his turn.
He told her, then showed her. He took his turn lol.
Fun series indeed, glad there is something fullfiled with fun and parallels of original DnD.
