What a great first session! That fight is really difficult for level 1
PCs and you guys nailed it. Really excited to watch this game continue.
(Also, the break and intro music is excellent, 10/10, amazing job Travis
Savoie)
Let me know if I missed anything!
big legend !
Artemis says hi!
you missed every second
Danke internet person
How dare you stand where flando stands
I mean no disrespect
A classic first fight where half the party is down because they're at level 1 😂
I think they are level 3 craig has his animal companion he is rude to.
@@hadeszero4526 Jacob said they don’t do massive damage until level 3, and also Colton followed up by saying something about massive damage at level 1 being super bad…combined with their hit points, I’m almost certain they are level 1. I’m certain they aren’t more than level 2 though.
Dougan's hold: you could set it on fire and only improve it
Very cool to see your group’s experience with this module! Can’t wait to see how their story progresses :)
I've been using your videos but watching arcane arcade for months and months maybe even a year at this point! It's cool to see crossover!
@@natedillow1725 Me too, I never expected Bob to watch Arcane Arcade streams.

I’ll usually have to miss this one in the future, so this is probably the only timestamp comment I’ll be leaving for this campaign. Sorry, folks.
Tah
YOU KNOW TOO MUCH!
Absolute G
No wait… absolute UNIT LIFE SAVER EVEN
When they talk about how cold 10° is, but you're German and think about Celsius :/
-23.3°C = -10°F
We use Celsius in Australia too :[
@@FieryFlamingFajitas everyone uses Celsius except for murica :D
@@woptigaming8951 🤣
I use Kelvin, you pleabians 🤨😬 bwahahahahaha
Coming back for a rewatch a year later and man, this is a amazing campaign. Not just the module, but the people and characters. I can't wait to experience the laughters and tears again as the campaign goes on😂
My DM gave Sephek like 150 hitpoints since we were level 3 at the time, ranger went down twice and we only won because the warlock had chill touch.
Bro excuse me xD
i read chill touch as chili touch lmao
Sephek doesn't really need a buff even fighting a level 3 party
I’m currently running icewind dale rime of the frostmaiden! It’s so cool to see another party and DM’s take on the story. I’ve only run like 4 sessions of it but we are loving it so far.
Im also running it and i agree 100% with you, this is awesome i have 2 partys who are at different stages of daleing and they couldn't be more different.
@@jenkseboy I think it's so cool running the same module for different groups... it really never is the same adventure twice
After hearing Colton's description of his eldritch blast I realized he is playing Diana from league of legends. Respect.
Oh my goodness. I didn’t even realize.
vegan with human bone dice either doesn't not compute or is super hardcore commitment. I can't decide.
Alls fair when it comes to dice.
This is incredibly down-to-earth I love it.
The music during the break has turned into the theme for the party in a Wildemount game I'm playing in. So to me it has become the Arcane Anarchy's theme.
I love the artist. Of the break music my favoirite song from him is where dead gods lie for toa
@@pgmr6304 that's soo good, prolly my favorite one tbh.
"Papa, today I met a boy with no eyes" is a horrifying sentance to hear from your child. Stealing that for my own campaign ehehehe
I'm running this campaign for friends, they're finally lvl 4. I've been waiting to see how your version of this tale will go! I'm so EXCITED
One thing's for sure, if I ever play Rime of the Frostmaiden, I'm going to play a Light Domain Cleric, an Evocation Wizard, or a Sorcerer with lots of fire spells.
Sooo, a regular sorcerer.
*Cries in empowered burning hands*
Do I know of any monsters in the underdark that would cause rock slides
Yes, they're fearless... They're cunning.... And they are known as kobolds
I'm dying laughing. Jacob that delivery was perfect
Dude the Beadle and Grimms stuff is amazing, definitely gonna save up for some of their stuff
Dear God new characters in this module is going to be Hell.
At 53:37 someone said in chat, "If only they have a drunken monk goblin named Fizwick." I can't reply to a live chat message, but if somehow whoever it is out there is reading this message, just know that I respect you and that I also watched Rime or Reason.
i also have a stroke trying to think up names on the spot
While the Platinum Rime of the Frostmaiden B&G set is sold out, the Silver is still available!!!!
Everyone when the bear dropped to 0: I have a question for god…WHYYY!!!
This is exciting! I'm level 6 in ROTFM so I love seeing how another group would approach this adventure.
yeah the average temp in bryn shander is let's say 10 degrees? In the book the average is actually -40 with a windchill of -60 lol. That fucking place is cold
personal headcannon everyone in ten towns sounds like they're from Minnesota, oh yeah buddies
As a Minnesotan, I approve of this.
Me and my friends finished this module a few weeks ago. Not my favourite (because I HATE SNOW, among other issues), but I look forward to see how Jacob runs it.
This is going to be an interesting party, I'm excited
I really loved this stream! Everyone did a great job with the story I can’t wait for more!
I laughed every single time Colton did that "wOaH" thing whenever they talked about Beadle & Grimm's.
i hate it when ppl say "without further ado", so im glad there was more ado
Colton’s character didn’t almost die in the first game for once (at least from what I saw)
And no Logan to die >.>
What an intro! I think that's the first time I've stayed through the whole "We're starting soon" section.
17:30 It's Auril! She's here to discuss additional sponsorship if you make her the good guy!
Love your stuff.... Wish you would add images of the creatures you are battling.....
Proper progress and an epic battle in the first ep, great job.
craig: I want to taste dnd... well there's the hero's feast book soooo cooking episodes when?
My DM has the book and throws bomb ass dinner parties every other month
I was like please say a candle that smells like Dugans hole 🤣 lmao
I've been watching 10 minutes and am already shivering
I haven’t played 5e and I have some experience DMing Pathfinder and Starfinder and this series got me super interested in playing 5e. Excited to say that I’m DMing Rime of the Frostmaiden starting next month. :)
Well how did it go?
How did it go
Think I started watching this 8 months ago, but it’s only now that I finally officially got into D&D, and have gotten some weird itch for Icewind Dale :)
When they’re talking about anything under 30 degrees being too cold.. I live in Upper Michigan and it usually dips to -30° at the coldest. We’re literally on the border of Canada!
Not throwing shade, just wishfully hoping to one day flee the real version of Icewind Dale lol
I'm from Virginia and the coldest I can remember it ever getting here is 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
That was braw! I’m running this campaign, in my game Sephek was captured and holed up in BrynShander. I think he needs to break oot his cell and seek revenge! Great stuff Dude
I wonder how the secrets will reveal.
Rpg Music Maker's RotFm music is main theme for this campaign to me too lol.
Just now watching this, it's REALLY good so far, gotta say the disconnecting and reconnecting sounds made me think my computer was going wild LMAO
Amazing first fight!
Huh…so Icewind Dale is…ICEolated you say? And the sun has given the earth the COLD SHOULDER? Do the frostmaidens wish to rip the earth ICEunder?
Sweet, I got Icewind Dale for christmas and am running it soon
Might help us viewer if you put the character's name and class up ... at least until we become familiar with them.
That's pretty much how our Sephek battle went, except we met him out on the tundra. He downed our fighter in one shot, and nearly downed our warlock before the rest of us took him down.
@@wesdean9128 It went very differently for me any my group, without knowing his weakness the druid in our party used bonfire on him, which he failed his save against. And then we just killed him, our rogue did go down. But otherwise it was way easier for our group xD i used a grapple to keep in in the bonfire's space and because am playing a tanky barbarian i was luckily able to stay alive while holding him there. I don't think he healed once in the entire fight xD
Living in Minnesota I've actually slept out in negative 20 F conditions, inside a tent too. It sucks. You wake up every hour or so shivering, and have to adjust, or get up and move around so you can get your blood moving. Worst I've ever been out in is negative 40 (with a windchill) and at that point you can get frost bite in under 5 minutes on exposed skin.
Also, Jacob, when describing the cold, it starts with your fingers going numb, they become lethargic, hard to move. Then your arms and legs don't want to move, like they've fallen asleep and you get pins and needles. Then your thoughts come slower. That's the scary part. Your thoughts start coming slower and you think to yourself, wow, am I dying? The scary part about it is that since your can't feel anything, that thought isn't a shocking or frightening thing. You just kind of go, huh, this is what dying feels like. I've never been that far into hypothermia, but I've heard some stories from family and friends.
Anyways, good luck on being a new father soon!
Then there's paradoxical undressing or whatever it's called, where you think you're hot and start taking off clothes.
Followed later on by hallucinations.
If someone put on more and more clothing, could they survive colder and colder temperatures or is there a limit to how much clothing helps keep you warm? I know there is a limit to how many pieces of clothing you can wear before you become a ball of clothes, but up until that point, does wearing more clothing help you survive colder and colder temperatures? Or is there a limit where putting on more clothing won't help anymore?
Frist time watching a dnd campaign of you'res, you are a excellent dm.
Whos gonna tell em?
Tell him what
Honestly the echo made the ad even better.
Enjoying the stream 🙏
53.00 timestamp for personal.
At about 1:02:56 a song comes on that Jacob stops really quickly. I've been looking for what that song is for a week now...I can't seem to find it...
I felt like it reminded me of Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, but I've been through so much Neverwinter Nights music that I'm pretty sure it isn't from that.
I realize I'm 8 months late to this, but I pride myself on listening to every fuckin' OST out there and I'm pretty sure this is from Divinity: Original Sin. Search for "A single drop of magic" and tell me I ain't right! :D
@@atnasingetnamn2887 wow, thanks. I can see why it would have the feel of a Neverwinter Nights song lol…I may have to use that in my campaign. Still going 8 months later, we’ll see.
@@jlaw131985 My pleasure! It's a funny coincidence because I'm going to DM for my first time ever soon, and I've been picking out NWN2:MotB tracks since it has some really good ones- that's why your comment caught my eye :)
@@atnasingetnamn2887 I love Mask of the Betrayer so much.
@@jlaw131985 Likewise! It's hard to go back to for me, because all the extra levels and feats are hard to jump straight back into, and I never liked NWN2s UI/Controls much...
But it's by far and wide the best NWN expansion, and there's some really standout writing in it.
I think the encounter, and the music, in the Astral Plane is my favorite :) I'm trying to fit that music in haha!
does Spenser have a plus 1 sword? dueling is only a plus to damage.
So what are the classes? I am having a tough time figuring them all out. Help would be greatly appreciated!!
Organized from most certain to least certain.
Alynstra = Hexblade warlock
Immolation = Paladin
Lazarus = Ranger???
Kezira = Not the slightest clue
@@michaelfinnerty7240 Thanks!
@@michaelfinnerty7240 Kezira is most likely a blood hunter. Spencer once mentioned that she’d played Kezira before. In September of last year, a post was going around on Twitter, where you would list characters of any class you’d played. If you check her blood hunter…

@@michaelfinnerty7240 Lazarus is a mystery.
Based on the presence of the Bear and the fact he used a bow I’d say Ranger of some kind but the bear could just be counted as some kind of companion and he could just be a fighter or something
I joined our party on session 2 after the original party lost a member to unforseen circumstances and another left due to heart conditions... We just defeated the frost maiden @ level 11 last week... and are working on rebuilding ten towns this week after 2 years of playing going to have to find another group to play with cause our DM is going back to college 😭😔😭 I'm so proud of her
Sorry for your loss
Going to give this playlist a try.
Did Jacob change the temperature of icewind dale for a reason? Page 11 shows that due to Auril's curse, average temperature is -49f.. and the wind chill drops it by 80 degrees... so like -120f
I know this is way late, but he probably just didn’t see it. Also, like he said, he hasn’t dealt much with cold temperatures so he probably doesn’t realize how warm that is relative to how cold things can get in places like that
This is my first ever watching a full game! I’m excited
this is the first time ive ever watched anyone play dnd this cool
Missed this live, but I’m super excited to simp for the goliath lady
awesome podcast
so sad i missed it Live, super excited for the campaign though!
Face to face games are great! Fun stuff
Damn man, I thought I was a subscriber. I missed this live!!! Urrrg...
Enjoyed the first episode can't wait for the next, also that beadle grim box set is fire 🔥
Here we Goooooo! = )
is two gnomes in a trenchcoat dungeon dudes ? ! i think two gnomes in a trenchcoat IS dungeon dudes !!
never played an TTRPG, but ive played a good bit of cRPGS. watching these vidoes is fun
You know a Campaign like Icewind dale would be a good time to play a ranger because surely most terrain would be considered Arctic
This was played by a very nice DM. That fight can TPK easy at level 1.
You lot are great to watch 🤣
I can't tell if Lazarus's pronoun tag means any/all or none, or something completely different ^^"
Seems very “what’s gender?”
@@jlaw131985 gender? I hardly know her!
I'd interpret it as unknown gender. It's a fantasy realm, so it is easier to imagine characters that don't have gender due to strange mutations.
"the bear's nozzle"
16:30 a hidden creature enters the hallway roll initiative
Well I got 10 days ago and 5e 2014 starter set, then day 1 it was character creation
Day 2 was preparing
Day 3 I played with my siblings
Day 4-10 I restated the adventure and did in 7 days the entire adventure will get this for my birthday since Wal-Mart never has this in stock according to the website
2:26:02 (for personal use)
My god what is the music called at the start of the video? It woke me up from my nap due to how awesome it is.
Lazarus's call should've sounded like the Nazgul... Missed opportunity that I'm sure Jacob noticed
Yooooooooooo I’m excited
Does arcane arcade have a twitch schedule & if so where can I find it cause I have over looked it?
someone: you see a super pale----
me: VAMPIRE!!!!
The Warlock lost Hexblade's Curse when he went KO. The decapitation crit is a lie!
What days will these be streamed??
Every other Saturday.
10 degrees is beautiful weather in normal people temperatures
Is there a podcast version ok your games?
So.... When will episode 2 be?
thanks for this, , I have been wanting to stream my game but my group is like, Nah.
Where can I find these headers they’re wearing?
Yo what the fuck is this? I fall asleep to league of legends and 7 hours later I wake up to the 2nd hour of this thing.
i'm suprised that there are welsh words on the map like bryn = hill. Maer = Big
Are you guys in BC?
you look like a capable bunch. Dude with mangled face, hunched person missing arms and legs, noble lady?, and goliath ✔. lol
Hey Jacob What did you guys use for the party’s characters appearance?
If you mean the art, Cerisila#0751 on discord is our artist for this game. She does fantastic work
Just for clarification, they started at level 3 in this? Due to the beast master having a bear in session 1.
Game starts at 16:40
Bro what happened to Tim I can’t be the only one wondering
2:11:27
just a time stamp for me, sorry :)
