Technically, following the actual rules of the game, that's not how the spell works. Since depression is a state of being and not a command. But there's also the rule that literally any rule in the game can be overruled by the dungeon master, so if your dungeon master is cool with it and thinks it's fun, then yeah, it works. Which is THE greatest part of DnD imo. Sure, there are rules, but we're all just here to have fun, so don't let the rules get in the way of that
@@KlausiboyZ If someone did that at my table, I would probably just point out it needs to be an order and proppose "depress" instead of "depression". I think it's good for novice players to be pointed out when they missunderstand some rule to help them get used to both reading and understanding what the rules say instead of getting used to do things ignoring the rules, but I also think it's even better to help them find the way to do what they want (or at least the closest thing to what they want) following the rules instead of just saying "no, this isn't how this works so it doesn't work". Either way is fine, if I wasn't DMing I would probably let it be since it isn't game breaking in any significant way, but I prefer to leave the "any rule can be overruled" thing for situations where the rules are unclear, when they are causing an argument or when someone tries to use a spell or skill for something that makes sense even though it's not specified in the rules of said spell or skill.
@@garethvila5108 I would personally also not really let it work this way in my own campaign, but I also recognise that I tend to be a party pooper with rules, so I try to be more lenient as long as it's enhancing the experience at the table and not breaking the game. In a campaign I wouldn't allow it, because it sets precedens for further into the campaign, but in a one-shot I'd point out that it's not how the spell would properly, but go with it because it's just a one-shot. As for turning depression into a command, I think I'd look for a better word than "depress", since that doesn't really (in my opinion) translate to "become depressed". It can just as easily be "cause depression". I'd probably go with the command "despair", as that (in my opinion) achieves a similar state, and is an action that inheritly must affect oneself. As for anyone else reading this, who thinks I'm taking the fun out of it by being technical and specific about this: this is part of what I personally find fun, and I only indulge because it seems people are willing to discuss the technicality. I still believe that the way to have fun is different from table to table
I love how Paul and Bartholomew had these deep intricate backstories that got woven into the story and Jaiden was just like DRAGON ACOD FIRE MOUTH SHOT
yeah seems bout right. seems like atleast once per session atleast one person consumes, intergrates, grinds against something they shouldnt cause they had no idea what else to do. sometimes all three, and not neccessarily in that order either.
16:06 "for the restraining order, for moving in next to me" wait, that's achualy a good way to mess with someone you really hate, so they literately cant help but break the law
I think by getting restraining order, you accept the terms that you can't willingly try to get close to that person either, and if you do, that nullifies it?
@@arkangyal8024 Yeah from my understanding if you have a restraining order it involves you willingly avoiding the person, and if you try and play games with it it can be revoked.
As a D&D player, this was 100% accurate to how a campaign can go. While yes, Mark getting acid-blasted in the face was the funniest part, the best part about it was how you included Slimecicle and Ranboo's reactions to it with Jacob's shocked face, because sometimes the reaction is the funniest part of what happens.
Yes, reaction to it matters the most, and it was a legit tactic to deceive into getting a free hit, let alone acid breath (almost looking like Jaiden's character was throwing up to the Manager, and their reactions made me have a good chuckle too XD)
Can we just appreciate that Ranboo and Alpharad’s characters both have enemies and want to search for them whilst on their journey and Jaiden’s Character is just enjoying life and giving people turtles.
I love the fact that Jaiden's character has almost nothing to do with this storyline, she's just here for no real reason and gets a lot of story beats going just cause she's bored. I'm living for it.
I watched the vod of the actual campaign. There was actually some backstory stuff with Zoot's patron and the wand (Her character's class was a warlock), but it seems she cut that out of the animated version for time constraints.
Ranboo’s character asking if the others are new and then Jaiden saying yes is amazing, but the fact that Paul said “ I wish I was “ was absolute masterpiece. This is hilarious.

My Warforged character found a new arm on an adventure and equipped it... naturally, the rest of the party had a slap fight with his old arm... which the Warforged was still connected to
I love coming back to this video every so often. Watched it a while back and now I finally also started playing DnD - as a DM!! So it's extra hilarious to see how you guys do the absolute most unexpected things lmao Can't wait to watch this again in a little while! :>
This video is absolutely insane. The story of the campaign is absolutely dripping with Charlie’s charm, ranboo being in a jaidenanimations video is something I’d never thought I’d see but I’m so happy about it. And this chaos is very on brand for everyone involved.
This kinda reminds me of an ongoing Warhammer40K campaign I've been running on and off for roughly 20years now. It mainly takes place on our made-up planet "Chronika" which is the only place the eponymous substance of "Chronika" can be found (like the Spice of Dune/Arrakis), and it's basically a potent explosive/fuel/DRUG/mutagenic/whatever MacGuffin you want. The battles have mostly been fought between 'Rogue Traderish' Tau+Mercenaries, Pirate Orks, and Plague Marines. Its pretty awesome.
the streams of this where it's just the reaction to Jaiden acid-blasting Mark's face is priceless, but this gave immense context and an overall story. Amazing.
The fact that Jaden made no mention of the backstory of her own character makes it even more funny, like, you HAVE to watch the full session if you wanna know about the *coin toss*
alpharad playing as a larry named paul seems so juxtaposed from his actual self but also so incredibly jacob-like. I can only imagine the incredible amount of hilarity that ensued when he roleplayed.
Yeah, i decided to join a dnd group with my friends(half human half animal, or humanoid characters) and created a Tortle named master Oogway. My first session we fight an owl bear. then beat it without anyone dying. We won because my friend said “dice go boing boing” the dropped the dice and rolled a nat20
Just screaming “DEPRESSION” is the funniest thing I love this so much. DND feels PERFECT for the channel combining those old story time vids because and the newer gaming vids in a way. I really like this. I kinda hope you guys do another one some day in the far future
I beg you, on my knees, please do more dnd videos. I adore this. This is both holy and sacred art. This is why the internet was created. It all peaks here.
15:32 I love that you actually used their laughter from the livestream of the campaign. This was an incredible video to watch Jaiden. Quality One Shot, thoroughly enjoyed, well done to the whole party!
8:23 i liked the part where the worm said "its worming time" and proceeded to worm all over the place. it was truly one of the worm moments of all time.
Once, I needed a new character, so I made a guy, and her backstory was that she was originally a chair, but was permanently polymorphed into a half-elf woman named Ivellios, and halfway through the campaign, she walked into an anti-magic field, causing her to turn back into a chair. Everybody else was so terrified to go into the field that our ranger had to handle the entire fight on their own, and it took almost twenty minutes to het the chair polymorphed back into Ivellios. That will always be my favorite character I've ever played.
Me and a few others did something similar to this recently My characters name was Brad Ward (Ryan Trahan reference) and he was a HUGE wild card. Also during this campaign someone became a theifling bard from reading a book about it because wild magic and they could now sing Symphony by Zara Larsson Also Brad Ward lore time! -He hates reading (He can read, he just hates doing it) -He has gotten 50 restraining orders (All of them were from stalking people, all of which women) Back to the campaign, there was a final boss attack that disabled all magic and BRAD WARD WAS UNAFFECTED BECAUSE HUMAN ROUGES DON'T NEED MAGIC YO
the burst in vtt's and other ease of use applications has made dnd 1000x more approachable for the everyman as well as giving them more places to play, its great! I want to play more in person but online is fine when I cant
I love how Mark specifically only had beef with Ranbo’s character yet decided to curse Alpha’s son. Either to deal with the lose of his own kid or bc Ranbos character didn’t have any loved ones to curse
I played Dungeons and dragons with 5 total students and a teacher as the master during summer school (3 weeks) and Watching this video makes me want to play D and D again :(.My team was very chaotic as well. here is the group's name cause why not: Raka: human monk and is clumsy AF (she missed and killed my character by accident), Yavelda (me) A Tiefling wizard who is a strong duo with Lavican who is a elf rouge, Luck who is a barbarian, and finally Leivilhar who is a dragonborn warlock and is the "here me out".
This perfectly encapsulates the spirit of D&D. A group who have no common interests are just roped into a story together, the DM taking them through a crazy adventure and the player chaotically destroying everything along the way until they succeed. Loved it.
I was holding my laugh all the way through but the "cast Depression" part just killed me. I think I saw that clip floating around awhile ago but completely forgot about it until I watched this video. She literally emotionally manipulated the main antagonist before blasting his face with acid point blank. It takes a lot to shake Charles Slmccl like that and she did it in like- 10 words or less. Girl is an actual menace to society and her social anxiety is the only thing keeping all of us safe. If she somehow picks up Charlie's extroverted energy in these prolonged DnD sessions, we are DOOMED.
I doubled over from laughing when she said she pulls back, and acid sprays him in the face. That truly is the best thing ever. Also I love playing D&D with my friends, it’s so fun!
Gotta love how high fantasy Jaiden and Ranboo went with their characters and Jacob just went, "Imma be Larry/a salary man"

The cut-in of the actual alarmed laughter from the D&D session is SO good
That surprised me like what the whole session was recorded?
@@patu8010 The audio quality suggested they did it over Discord or the like, so probably? Especially as professional content creators, it would be in their benefit to record it

@@PremoProjects I absolutely agree. I wish I had her skills haha.
Hello it’s me that one weirdo who commented 6 days ago just found out we have a very over powered character in our party that can manipulate time and space and he’s a cat (side note my monk accidentally hurt his brother in law but he doesn’t know that ) but yeaa idk what’s going on with my party now but in the next few sessions we will be getting another op person who’s from another dimension and he’s one of my oc 🙃

14:08 DEPRESSION
“I’m so sad”
Dang
I just love how obvious it is that Alpharad’s character seems modeled after that one gym leader in Scarlet/Violet lmao
Yep, Larry
That was literally my thought and it’s awesome and honestly probably looking too bad as a blonde.
Wasn’t expecting the deceased wife bit
My first thought exactly. Though I couldn't remember the name of that gym leader till about halfway through.
Larry. It's Larry
Larry when he eventually snaps from Geeta's overwork.
And Larry is definitely based of Yoshikage kira from jjba
I just gotta say, I'm barely a minute in and Jacob as Larry already killed me.
Jacob's character and story were really good. He made it look like a life of average US citizen

It's also really on point with the whole "you all meet in a tavern" and players straight up telling each other's backstories as if they were in a therapy session

I’m surprised they didn’t laugh when she used the Command spell to force depression.

Charlie took the classic talking sheep oneshot and completely disregarded everything but the sheep itself I love it
I loved the part when the Worm said "It's worming time!" Truly one of the clay monsters of all time.
That just sounds like something charle would have said lol
For real
Legit assumed this was a joke with how often it's said, groaned and then it happened. Had to come give you your like xD
I love how Jaiden just became a psychiatrist and casted depresion on Mark then obliterated him with acid blast in his face
So we all gonna just ignore the fact that Jacob chose to be the D&D equivalent to Larry from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet or
Yee
Tis great
I knew I wasn’t alone
Bro I was legit in the gym battle on my switch when I watched this
not only that but I'm 100% sure he made a Barbarian Business Man.
this was simultaneously the most compelling story and the most meme-like D&D experience I've yet seen
Classic DnD adventure.
My Warforged character found a new arm on an adventure and equipped it... naturally, the rest of the party had a slap fight with his old arm... which the Warforged was still connected to
My favorite part of this is you can tell exactly when they failed rolls 😂
That's the best part
Alpha boomeranging his axe must've been a Nat 1 for sure XD
I’m just imagining how awful the rolls for the goblin must have been when he jumps off the edge TWICE😂🤣
I just wanted to say does Alpharad’s character look like Lary from Pokémon scarlet and violet
@@yvosyfofj1759 yeah that’s the point
I love coming back to this video every so often. Watched it a while back and now I finally also started playing DnD - as a DM!! So it's extra hilarious to see how you guys do the absolute most unexpected things lmao
Can't wait to watch this again in a little while! :>
I love it when the worm said “it’s worming time” and wormed all over the place causing Zoot to scream. Truly the clay of all time.
The best clay of all time
I agree
such a good piece of clay
Thought this was a joke until the worming time
I really loved how you snuck in Grog, Pike, Vex'ahlia, and Keyleth at the start of the bar scene.
This needs more likes. That was really wholesome.

Ranboo”i am gonna Be a cat”
Jacobus”i am gonna Be larry”😂😂
This video is absolutely insane. The story of the campaign is absolutely dripping with Charlie’s charm, ranboo being in a jaidenanimations video is something I’d never thought I’d see but I’m so happy about it. And this chaos is very on brand for everyone involved.
same im so happy theyre in a jaiden vid :]
Indeed
The greatest trio in DND history
I love how you could feel the exact moment people rolled 1's without someone calling out "OH MAH GAWD IT'S A ONE!"
Nothing quite like half a halberd boomeranging back and hitting you in the back.
"they decide to eat the clay" oh my god that is not only hilarious but also absolutely something my overthinking party would do
i think you can do Letterly anything.
This kinda reminds me of an ongoing Warhammer40K campaign I've been running on and off for roughly 20years now. It mainly takes place on our made-up planet "Chronika" which is the only place the eponymous substance of "Chronika" can be found (like the Spice of Dune/Arrakis), and it's basically a potent explosive/fuel/DRUG/mutagenic/whatever MacGuffin you want. The battles have mostly been fought between 'Rogue Traderish' Tau+Mercenaries, Pirate Orks, and Plague Marines. Its pretty awesome.
the streams of this where it's just the reaction to Jaiden acid-blasting Mark's face is priceless, but this gave immense context and an overall story. Amazing.
SHE ALSO GAVE HIM DEPRESSION!
Istg. Mark needs to come back as a vengeful undead she did him EXTREMELY dirty even by dnd standards.
This the best animation I’ve ever watched better than any animation from Disney or Pixar
where can i watch the stream for this
The fact that Jaden made no mention of the backstory of her own character makes it even more funny, like, you HAVE to watch the full session if you wanna know about the *coin toss*
Is there somewhere you can watch the full session?
@@firegirl2003 i just watched some reuploaded vid of it tbh
Dude I can’t believe she hinged her own story on a coin flip with the devil
alpharad playing as a larry named paul seems so juxtaposed from his actual self but also so incredibly jacob-like. I can only imagine the incredible amount of hilarity that ensued when he roleplayed.
YEA
1:36 IS THAT LARRY FROM POKÉMON
TRUE
Yeah
I said that first but we were thinking the same thing
It’s Jacob/Alpharad’s DND character.
@ichigostar56 well I know that
Jaiden is the type of person to roll a nat 20 and still lose

Yeah, i decided to join a dnd group with my friends(half human half animal, or humanoid characters) and created a Tortle named master Oogway. My first session we fight an owl bear. then beat it without anyone dying. We won because my friend said “dice go boing boing” the dropped the dice and rolled a nat20
Or really emotional

Ah, yes.

I beg you, on my knees, please do more dnd videos. I adore this. This is both holy and sacred art. This is why the internet was created. It all peaks here.
The use of deception to acid breath on Mark was GENIUS! That’s exactly what DnD shenanigans are!
I honestly thought she was going to smash him not gonna lie
This is one of the best campaigns and just- stories I've ever heard
15:32 I love that you actually used their laughter from the livestream of the campaign.
This was an incredible video to watch Jaiden. Quality One Shot, thoroughly enjoyed, well done to the whole party!
Is the live stream uploaded somewhere?
Where could I watch the stream?
@@austinmiller8356 just look up jaiden dnd and it'll show up
Same question as the other two people
I actually have never heard Ranboo laugh so loudly before. He's generally more quiet
8:23 i liked the part where the worm said "its worming time" and proceeded to worm all over the place. it was truly one of the worm moments of all time.
LOL
EXACT SENTENCE I WAS THINKING
def a Charlie thing to say
Once, I needed a new character, so I made a guy, and her backstory was that she was originally a chair, but was permanently polymorphed into a half-elf woman named Ivellios, and halfway through the campaign, she walked into an anti-magic field, causing her to turn back into a chair. Everybody else was so terrified to go into the field that our ranger had to handle the entire fight on their own, and it took almost twenty minutes to het the chair polymorphed back into Ivellios. That will always be my favorite character I've ever played.
A campaign I was in had someone play a wild magic chair person and a similar situation happened. His name was Chari
CHAIR
🍔
Me and a few others did something similar to this recently
My characters name was Brad Ward (Ryan Trahan reference) and he was a HUGE wild card.
Also during this campaign someone became a theifling bard from reading a book about it because wild magic and they could now sing Symphony by Zara Larsson
Also Brad Ward lore time!
-He hates reading (He can read, he just hates doing it)
-He has gotten 50 restraining orders (All of them were from stalking people, all of which women)
Back to the campaign, there was a final boss attack that disabled all magic and BRAD WARD WAS UNAFFECTED BECAUSE HUMAN ROUGES DON'T NEED MAGIC YO
It's crazy how dnd and other TTRPGS have become a whole cultural phenomenon in recent years. It's so incredible to see
Wild what can happen when it's not being called satanic anymore
the burst in vtt's and other ease of use applications has made dnd 1000x more approachable for the everyman as well as giving them more places to play, its great! I want to play more in person but online is fine when I cant
@@rob98000 TBF its still called satanic its just those people arnt that popular with the wider public nowadays
I love how Mark specifically only had beef with Ranbo’s character yet decided to curse Alpha’s son. Either to deal with the lose of his own kid or bc Ranbos character didn’t have any loved ones to curse
Can I just say I love that Paul is just some guy in an "adventuring" suit? Simply amazing.
That's Larry suit from pokemon
Reminds me of when Wilbur (Soot) wore a suit to an outdoor water park
paul is just larry from pokemon violet
Larry from pokemon
He just needs to start his adventures using the Adventuring pistol!
I played Dungeons and dragons with 5 total students and a teacher as the master during summer school (3 weeks) and Watching this video makes me want to play D and D again :(.My team was very chaotic as well. here is the group's name cause why not: Raka: human monk and is clumsy AF (she missed and killed my character by accident), Yavelda (me) A Tiefling wizard who is a strong duo with Lavican who is a elf rouge, Luck who is a barbarian, and finally Leivilhar who is a dragonborn warlock and is the "here me out".
The character arc between Paul and Luap are better than most Hollywood stories nowadays.
We can’t forget the Mark Thompson plot twist! 😂
Yeah but honestly a bit predictable
I guessed it as soon as the sheep spoke
This is why I love DnD. The amount of story telling honestly can go in infinite ways.
So true!
But only if you have a DM which alters the story on the way to make funny or stupid actions possible 😅
This perfectly encapsulates the spirit of D&D. A group who have no common interests are just roped into a story together, the DM taking them through a crazy adventure and the player chaotically destroying everything along the way until they succeed. Loved it.
Me encanto el vídeo de jaiden muy buen video
I’ve just joined my first D&D campaign and somehow the most stressful part so far is creating myself a character 😂
I was holding my laugh all the way through but the "cast Depression" part just killed me. I think I saw that clip floating around awhile ago but completely forgot about it until I watched this video. She literally emotionally manipulated the main antagonist before blasting his face with acid point blank. It takes a lot to shake Charles Slmccl like that and she did it in like- 10 words or less. Girl is an actual menace to society and her social anxiety is the only thing keeping all of us safe. If she somehow picks up Charlie's extroverted energy in these prolonged DnD sessions, we are DOOMED.
Wait is this the “I love you “ into acid Bakst sucker moment??
Jaiden, Alpharad, Ranboo, AND Charlie? What a great mix of people to play a first DND session with🔥
For real
Fr

LMAO ranboo and jaiden just radiate that similar awkward yet hilarious energy

I doubled over from laughing when she said she pulls back, and acid sprays him in the face. That truly is the best thing ever. Also I love playing D&D with my friends, it’s so fun!
It was the best thing I could have ever hoped for. I was hoping she did something like that so bad and she did and I’m just so happy 😂
