They're all great. Love the show. But this guest and Ricky had an especially amazing game over this two parter. The way they described their components and casting / failures and successes made for a really immersing watch! Obviously huge credit to the GM. Deborah is clearly a master of her craft and the fun she brings to her table is infectious not just to her clearly delighted players but, also to the viewer as well!
Could not agree more. I've watched several other D&D campaign series on TH-cam and this is hands down the BEST and most well produced, entertaining, and immersive show I've seen. Deborah is a stellar DM and everyone involved, including the guests, play the game in a satisfyingly serious way but still have fun and laugh. Super enjoyable. ⚡
Ya, I loved Xander in this one. The character he plays here is great and his portrayal of X in the VtM: LA By Night campaign is also so much fun! Xander is totally amazing!
This is my second time watching through this series and I'm enjoying it just as much the second time! Such a great collection of people, and I love the way the guests start off reserved and unsure, but by half way through they're kissing the dice and celebrating Crits with the group!!
I like the story. I love the DM. I really enjoy the characters, and the players are great. The set is gorgeous and the props are cool. The technical side (sound, lighting, filming, editing) seems top notch. This show is awesome!
Technically, all Incapacitated does is prevent a creature from taking actions or reactions. (It basically loses its turn.) That's different from Stunned, which comes with an assortment of other debuffs that are closer to how the umber hulk fight played out. Also, Hypnotic Pattern ends if the creature takes any damage. (It's more of a crowd-control spell, not save-or-die.) That being said, I think the GM made the right call in employing the Rule of Cool to give the bard a chance to shine and wrap the fight up quickly once it was clear that the party had the upper hand.
LMFAO. I love this series. And I love when Julia Dennis (as Annabella in the show) casts Hypnotic Pattern in an episode. She always comes up with something goofy or fun for her image she's displaying. "Oozing caramel and peanuts everywhere..." 🤣⚡ #ILoveRelicsAndRarities
Just a few notes on the rules. That the players are doing which kind of holds them back. 1. When a fighter uses action surge, they get two more attacks because they are taking another attack action. So he should get 4 attacks in total with an action surge. 2. when a barbarian uses reckless attack, both of their attacks get advantage. 3. when something is under the effects of faerie fire, everything that attacks it with an attack roll gets advantage, that would have gone for both the players and the umbra hulk. Hope this helps, sorry if it sounded snobbish :)
And the character who casts faerie fire is able to choose which creatures are effected, not sure if he was actually choosing them or just thought that since they were in range they were also effected.
Rules wise I counted at least a mistake a round (missed disadvantage, failure to apply class features, etc.), sometimes multiple. But let’s be honest here, in the end D&D isn’t really about the rules. It’s about creativity and having fun with equally nerdy, goofy, creative people. And on that count this entire thing was a rousing success. Gorgeous imagery, wonderful interaction, and an engaging, inventive storyline... It’s honestly amazing. Deborah’s just so good at the things that REALLY matter.
@@ralenldupuis1814 I agree so hard. Deborah is amazing as DM and all the cast play their characters so well. Lots of heart and love for the game in this series. Makes me wish I knew more people who played.
@@Syndromesan - Faerie Fire does *not* let the caster choose which creatures are affected or not; it's an AoE glitter cannon. But Veros and Beryl should have gotten Dex saves to avoid the effect, like the Umber Hulk attempted. Or Rikki could have at least tried to place the cube so only the umber hulk was in it, not them. > Each object in a 20-foot cube within range is outlined in blue, green, or violet light (your choice). Any creature in the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a Dexterity saving throw. For the duration, objects and affected creatures shed dim light in a 10-foot radius. > > Any attack roll against an affected creature or object has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected creature or object can't benefit from being invisible. Fortunately, high-stakes tough combats isn't where this series focuses, so the ton of mostly-minor rules mistakes (and a dose of poor tactics) don't affect the big picture much, and we still get the character RP. But in case anyone's wondering about how this combat could have played out differently following the 5e rules: Beryl's an Ancestral Guardian barbarian so hitting a creature lets her give it disadvantage on attacking anyone except her. (Her AC of 12 is lower than she'd have wearing no armor, with just Unarmored Defense for AC 10+0(dex)+3(con) = 13. Maybe she's wearing leather armor that lowers her AC? And her HP of 42 is a lot lower than average for a lvl5 barbarian with +3 Con, so it seems she got pretty unlucky with her d12 hit dice: 12+3 at first level plus 4x (1d12+3) averages 53. 14:00 - Like (almost?) all creatures with extra stuff that happens on their attack, panther Pounce can only knock the target down if it hits. Since the initial attack missed, no need for a save. Since the Umber Hulk made the save anyway, no harm done. It should have had advantage because of Faerie Fire, though. Unless it averted its gaze, then FF just cancels disadvantage for a straight roll. Not sure what stats they were using for the panther; a regular panther has a -2 Cha save, and being a ranger companion doesn't change that to -1 unless there's a magic item we don't know about. A panther as the companion of a lvl5 ranger does have a +5 to hit modifier. (It also has a climb speed, so probably shouldn't have to roll to climb trees while carrying a small creature.) 17:20 - Balm of the Summer Court is only a bonus action like Xander just said; Rikki can still take an action like casting a spell on his turn! I like that he describes what it looks like when casting a spell or using a class ability; I wonder if he got so wrapped up in this one that he made it sounds like something that would take his character's whole action. :P 20:52 - Speed boost isn't part of the official release version of Balm of the Summer Court (XGE), only the temp HP part. Was this recorded some years before it went up on youtube, and they're using a UA playtest version of Circle of Dreams? Xander said it was a "new" subclass, but even the officially published version was in Xanathar's Guide to Everything (nov 2017), so is this game much older than the 2019 date it went up on youtube? Also, Balm of the Summer Court isn't a spell, it's a magical class ability. (It seems to be common for people to say they "cast" abilities, but it's rarer for people to actually call them spells.) 22:00 - That potion was poison *immunity*, not just resistance like the Protection from Poison (2nd) spell? I thought Rikki was just giving narrative flavour to casting the spell, which is 1 hour non-concentration. Probably he was, but they mixed up the details of the poison protection. If Ionos were a level 8 ranger, Land's Stride would let him not take damage from non-magical thorns, but they're level 5 so that part is correct. 26:36 - Becoming incapacitated (by the confusion effect) prevents concentration on a spell, so no, RAW the spell would not still be there. (The "conditions" section of the rules fails to mention this effect; it's only in the spell concentration rules that incapacitated is mentioned.) It is something the Umber Hulk "magically" does, according to the stat block, so gnome cunning advantage does apply. (Dropping faerie fire seemed tactically unwise in the dark where Veros and Beryl can barely see. Even without that, it's a great spell in a fight with multiple people making attacks. Or it would be if they remembered to use the advantage, and he hadn't splashed it on his allies, too. But if Beryl keeps going reckless, it'll have advantage on her anyway, and the light lets her see.) ---- 27:12 - Hypnotic Pattern is an incapacitate that breaks on damage. Against a single target, the worst time to cast it is when your other teammates are "ready to go" and the druid has already cast an AoE damage effect that will trigger on the creature's turn. Also, Beryl is on its back so she needs to save against it; no way to place the area so it'll include the umber hulk but not beryl. (Unless you pick a cube that's mostly underground, just sticking up into the umber hulk.) 28:30 - Incapacitated auto-fails str/dex saves, but not Con. 30:34 - Fluffy didn't attack this turn. I wonder if they checked the ranger rules and found out that RAW, Fluffy doesn't get to attack unless the ranger gives up one of their attacks. Otherwise IDK why he wouldn't continue to have Fluffy attack, instead of just getting ready. 32:15 - incapacitated doesn't give advantage to attackers. Only Stunned and stronger conditions do that. Seemed like the DM and players were all ready for this combat to just be over, though, so that works. RAW, they could have all readied actions to do a burst of damage; break hypnotic pattern right after it loses a turn, except moonbeam... 44:08 - Druids are proficient in Wis saves, so Rikki's bonus should be the same as proficient Wis skills like Survival (+7). The +4 is probably his Wis ability mod, forgetting it was a save not a check. Or looking at the wrong place on his character sheet, since he did it again for later saves. (Opposite of what often happens on Critical Role, where Matt asks for a check or for their ability modifier, and some of the players typically add their save modifiers; even when it's more than +5 so it definitely can't be an ability modifier.)
Yessss. I love that she brought back the 4e term Bloodied. There are some things I wish they kept from 4e. New people wont even know about some of these things. Minions being the other.
For everyone who sees the relics and rarities screen pop up every now and then, I'm pretty sure it's an issue with TH-cam which causes the first frame of the video to repeat throughout. It's happened on some other videos I've watched as well and is usually fixed if they reprocess the video.
The different lights kinda reminded me of the emotional spectrum in Green Lantern. Red for rage, yellow for fear, blue for hope, purple for love and green for will. Veros against the money bunny is a battle of will. Sexy bunny is love. Riki was rage. Annabelle faced fear. And the scoot brought hope (food) for the starving bunny family?
SO pumped for the new episode, but a quick note: the way you guys are titling your R+R episodes is *super* confusing. "Part 2" and "Episode 3" BOTH being in the title makes it seem like this is episode 3.2 - the second part of the third episode. When in fact it's not. It's the SECOND part of the SECOND R+R episode (if we are defining episodes by the full episodes on Twitch, distinct from each other so far by their guest cameo changing). For clarity, this episode should be labeled as Part 2 of Episode 2 - or if you really need to count the partial episode uploads to TH-cam as their own "Episode" on TH-cam, you would need to take away the "Part #" section and only refer to them by Episode number. I thought you mis-uploaded at first and only clicked the video to leave a comment - I hope other people looking at their sub box don't make the same mistake! R+R deserves to be seen by all interested nerds, Ms. Woll is paintin' worlds like Bob Ross. EDIT: Looks like G&S went back and retitled the R+R episodes so that the episode sequencing on TH-cam is clearer. Thanks so much, Geek & Sundry team!
@@MinTubeDk If you're talking about the Twitch episodes I mentioned, don't worry - they will be delayed, but not missing or skipping any episodes. (In this particular case, it seems they just made the title of this video confusing, but this is in fact the next sequential video in the R+R series on TH-cam.) It looks like Geek & Sundry's current uploading MO (since their Alpha service powered down) is to upload their shows to TH-cam on a delay after they are aired live on Twitch. Think of Twitch like live TV/cable and TH-cam is like Hulu - you can catch the show on Twitch first, but rest assured that the fresh episodes will show up on TH-cam in time. EDIT: They just don't split the episodes up into parts on Twitch and air the guest cameo session in a single block, if that helps to clarify.
I really am loving the show! Deborah is super-imaginative as DM, the players engaged and enthusiastic, I really like the whole "guest player" concept! I just wish they knew the rules a bit better....
i didn't play any table rpg for nearly 10 years now but i'm having a lot of fun with your videos! you're all looking like really great people, continue like this! thx from a french ex-player!

In case anyone's curious about how the 5e rules work: Going reckless gives you advantage on *all* your attacks for the turn. Fortunately Beryl still hit, and Deborah reminded her about rage bonus damage this time, since she missed it on some attacks last episode. Also, as an Ancestral Guardian barbarian, hitting a creature lets her give it disadvantage on attacking anyone except her. 8:34 - Veros and Beryl should get Dex saves to avoid Faerie Fire. Or Rikki could have centered the cube so at least one of them wasn't in it. If the Umber Hulk is tall enough, he could put it over their heads. But probably not; orienting the cube so its centered above the umber hulk with one corner sticking down into its space (like an inverted pyramid) would work well. Still potentially a good move since it's dark, and it will already have advantage to hit Beryl this turn anyway since she attacked reckless. And maybe it'll keep its attention on the meat shields instead of the ranged attackers that aren't confused, so they can hopefully end the fight before anyone goes down. 9:52 - Sleep doesn't scale very well with level: as an all-or-nothing spell, it often does nothing for level 5 characters, especially against one tough creature. The umber hulk had been "bloodied", but I got the impression from the DM that it wasn't much below half HP. An average roll on 5d8 is only 22.5, and the melee attackers did more than that. Fortunately the melee characters were still at full health so it didn't put them to sleep either, but I wouldn't be surprised if the umber hulk wasn't the lowest-HP creature in the area, unless Annabelle picked the target area better than Rikki. Still, trying to crowd-control in this circumstance (both melee characters Confused, and it's about to be the Umber Hulk's turn so it's ok to use something that breaks on damage) is a good plan, just not the right spell for the job. Hypnotic Pattern could have worked (if she could avoid incapacitating allies with it, although it does break on damage.) In episode 1 we saw Annabelle use Shatter on a single target; if she doesn't have any good non-AoE damage spells, maybe that's why she went for it? (Pretty clearly Julia is somewhat new to 5e and maybe TTRPGs, so the occasional swing and a miss is going to happen more often.) 14:00 - Like (almost?) all creatures with extra stuff that happens on their attack, panther Pounce can only knock the target down if it hits. Since the initial attack missed, no need for a save. Since the Umber Hulk made the save anyway, no harm done. Also, I'm curious what stats they're using for the panther. Seems like it's a beastmaster ranger companion, but they're letting it attack on its turn without costing the ranger even a bonus action to command that. (Original 5e ranger beastmaster had pretty bad action-economy costs.) A regular Panther has +2 Str without athletics proficiency, but they added +4 for its athletics check last episode. A beastmaster companion adds the ranger's proficiency bonus to attack, and damage, but only to saves and abilities it's proficient in. A panther only has perception proficiency and stealth expertise, no special saving-throw modifiers. It has -2 Cha, so I wondered if they were using stats from a beefier cat that also has Pounce, like a Lion or Tiger which have Cha -1. A panther as the companion of a lvl5 ranger does have a +5 to hit (its +2 str plus the rangers +3 proficiency bonus, instead of a basic panther's own +2 proficiency bonus.) A lion or tiger has a +5 attack bonus on paper, so if they didn't apply the beastmaster adjustments then that would match. That wouldn't explain the athletics modifier, though, with lion and tiger having +3 Str. 17:20 - Balm of the Summer Court is only a bonus action like he just said; Rikki can still take an action like casting a spell on his turn! Funny to see this narratively flavoured as a literal skin-cream balm, rather than the usual metaphorical meaning. 20:32 - Beryl's AC should be 13 if she's not wearing armor, since she's a barbarian; 10 + 0 (dex) + 3 (con) = 13, which is already really low for a front-line character. Maybe she's wearing leather armor or something that lowers her AC even further and stops her from using Unarmored Defense? :( A breastplate would give her AC 14 + 0(dex) without interfering with any barbarian abilities. Since she didn't attack on the previous round, and didn't take damage, her rage would have ended. (The umber hulk went for the giant rat instead of any party members, so at least it contributed by taking a hit for the PCs. Beryl's HP total is quite low, 11 below average for 12+3 + 4x (1d12+3) = average 53 for a lvl5 barbarian with +3 Con. 20:52 - Speed boost isn't part of the official release version of Balm of the Summer Court (XGE), only the temp HP part. Was this recorded some years before it went up on youtube, and they're using a UA playtest version of Circle of Dreams? Xander said it was a "new" subclass, but even the officially published version was in Xanathar's Guide to Everything (nov 2017), so is this game much older than the 2019 date it went up on youtube? Also, Balm of the Summer Court isn't a spell, it's a magical class ability. (It seems to be common for people to say they "cast" abilities, but it's rarer for people to actually call them spells.) 22:00 - That potion was poison *immunity*, not just resistance like the Protection from Poison (2nd) spell? I thought Rikki was just giving narrative flavour to casting the spell, which is 1 hour non-concentration. Probably he was, but they mixed up the details of the poison protection. Rangers get to ignore difficult terrain in some cases but not this, so it was correct to cost Ionos extra movement. They can ignore it when travelling for more than an hour in favoured terrain, but not tactical movement running through instead of around briars. For that he'd need the lvl8 ranger ability Land's Stride, which lets you ignore nonmagical difficult terrain, and move through nonmagical plants without taking damage from their thorns. But they're only lvl5. 24:40 - Deborah's ruling on this surprised me, ruling that it costs Beryl her whole turn (action) to get up on the monster's back. I'd have though this would be movement + grapple (costing one of her attacks). Using her bare hands instead of her axe is probably going to do less damage as well, so other DM's I've watched (like Brennan, Matt, or Aabria, or Jasmine herself years later) would probably have gone with the player on this to let them at least still make one attack for the turn, or figure out if they were going to create some effect other than damage with what they're going for. Bare hands would be unarmed strike, 1 + rage + str vs. 1d12 + same. Maybe Deborah's being more conservative here because Beryl's trying to use this to attack without having the umber hulk's eyes in her field of view. Overall I really enjoy Deborah's DMing, and one ruling I disagree with doesn't change that. Still, feels like a bit of a mis-step to me, especially with Jasmine's character not getting to do anything on her previous turn. 26:36 - Becoming incapacitated (by the confusion effect) prevents concentration on a spell, so no, RAW the spell is not still there. (The "conditions" section of the rules fails to mention this effect; it's only in the spell concentration rules that incapacitated is mentioned.) > Gnome Cunning. You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic. The umber hulk confusion effect is indeed magical, so gnomes do have advantage on it. "the umber hulk can *magically* force it to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw, unless the umber hulk is incapacitated." Also, dropping Faerie Fire reminds me: they forgot to apply advantage for Mr Fluffy and Ionos's attacks. And for Veros, although if he was averting his gaze then it just cancels disadvantage. 27:12 - Hypnotic Pattern is an incapacitate that breaks on damage. Against a single target, the worst time to cast it is when your other teammates are "ready to go" and the druid has already cast an AoE damage effect that will trigger on the creature's turn. 28:30 - Incapacitated auto-fails str/dex saves, but not Con. Moonbeam is radiant damage, not fire. 29:05 - Hypnotic pattern simply ends on damage, no save required. That's what Xander just read out loud. Deborah was thinking of other spells like Tasha's Hideous Laughter where damage does allow another save (with advantage), not automatically breaking the effect. Really easy to hear what you're expecting instead of what someone actually said, especially while also thinking DM thoughts about everything that's going on and the story that's coming next, not just this rule question. 29:45 - The umber hulk is incapacitated, so even if Ionos could see its eyes, it couldn't force him to save against confusion. (But the characters maybe don't know that, so it makes sense they'd still be trying to avoid eye contact.) 30:34 - I wonder if they checked the ranger rules and found out that RAW, Fluffy doesn't get to attack unless the ranger gives up one of their attacks. Otherwise IDK why he wouldn't continue to have Fluffy attack, instead of just getting ready. 32:15 - incapacitated doesn't give advantage to attackers. Only Stunned and stronger conditions do that. Seemed like the DM and players were all ready for this combat to just be over, though, so that works. RAW, they could have all readied actions to do a burst of damage; break hypnotic pattern right after it loses a turn, except moonbeam... 44:08 - Druids are proficient in Wis saves, so Rikki's bonus should be the same as proficient Wis skills like Survival (+7). The +4 is probably his Wis ability mod, forgetting it was a save not a check.
The single frame of relics and rarities one white that keeps popping up is indeed bothersome, but good show regardless. Story is most important overall, but I have to compliment G&S on the set, stage lighting and audio. It's a plus to have these elements of the show executed so well.
I only wish these were longer, maybe 2-3 hours long at least. Each episode currently feels like they get short far too early (i.e. it is very weird to have short DnD sessions cus it takes time to get things done)
Good episode so far. Could hope for a more organized title like Relics and Rarities | Episode 2 - part 2 | The Trail of the Hidden Ones (feat. Sam Richardson). It's fine though. I'm just an organizing nut. xD
Faerie Fire: / 8:33 / Any creature in the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a Dexterity saving throw. The two party members were not given the opportunity to roll the save throw.
When Ricky used his Balm of summer court dice what ability allowed him to increase the speed of the person he used it on? One of my players is a Circle of Dreams Druid and I have never seen that
Ok can someone please help. I would love to watch the full game but cannot afford Alpha or twitch or whatever is required and now I am seeing part episodes and odd names, can you tell me this please. Can I watch them all on You Tube like I do critical role? Thanks. :)
Carabus 03 - AFAIK there have been three episodes total on TH-cam: Episode 1 The Haunting of Benthem Manor (1 part) and Episodes 2 & 3 (Trail of the Hidden Ones 1 and Trail of the Hidden Ones 2). It looks to me like they're planning on a regular TH-cam release.
This seems to be the official Relics and Rarities playlist (which I got by clicking on the Geek and Sundry youtube profile link in the description under the video, then "Playlists", then found the link under "created playlists": < th-cam.com/video/JcaxZbUjfaY/w-d-xo.html > It seems to already have all the guest interviews, so that might be a spoiler, and if you watch the guest interviews ahead of the ep you might also spoil some details from the ep, but whoever is managing the list seems to be inserting the episodes in story order and before the matching guest interview. The TH-cam release schedule for new episodes seems to be every Monday. Enjoy!
What is Xander's (blue hair) character? I understand he is a Gnome (maybe even Forest Gnome?) As a race but what is his class? Based on that Umber Hulk battle and last episode, he appears to use vials but he focuses on healing/ medicine checks but he fights with spells like Enhance Senses - Owl Wisdom and this episode he used Faerie Fire... So I am torn between Artificer because of the vials as his "component bag" but maybe the vials are his arcane foci for some magic class... Oh, wait! He used Druidcraft on the seed and he made Goodberries last episode so he is a Druid. Nevermind. So our party consists of Gnome Druid, (Race) Bard, maybe Human because of lack of Dark vision, (Race) Barbarian, and (Race) Fighter. The Fighter is obviously Tommy (pretty boy) because he used a shield last episode but he also uses two-handed weapons. The Barbarian obviously because of the Raging. Finally, the Bard because of Lute and Bardic Inspiration. Now all I need is Races
Greg Putnam Since the fighter also lacks dark vision, my best guess it’s: Gnome Druid, Human Fighter, Half Orc Barbarian, Human Bard. Honestly have only seen a few episodes though.
dude theres a lot of communities online. None of my friends hold even the slightest interest so its what I did and its great dude. Try /r lfg on reddit or just roll20 website both have a lot games for beginners
The blonde girl in the middle clearly doesn’t understand meta-gaming. She is always trying to react to what she hears instead of what her character would know.
They're all great. Love the show. But this guest and Ricky had an especially amazing game over this two parter. The way they described their components and casting / failures and successes made for a really immersing watch!
Obviously huge credit to the GM. Deborah is clearly a master of her craft and the fun she brings to her table is infectious not just to her clearly delighted players but, also to the viewer as well!
Could not agree more. I've watched several other D&D campaign series on TH-cam and this is hands down the BEST and most well produced, entertaining, and immersive show I've seen. Deborah is a stellar DM and everyone involved, including the guests, play the game in a satisfyingly serious way but still have fun and laugh. Super enjoyable. ⚡
Ya, I loved Xander in this one. The character he plays here is great and his portrayal of X in the VtM: LA By Night campaign is also so much fun! Xander is totally amazing!
I don't know the Guest but I understand he was new to this, i Just looooved how he got into it. Loved it so much!
This is my second time watching through this series and I'm enjoying it just as much the second time! Such a great collection of people, and I love the way the guests start off reserved and unsure, but by half way through they're kissing the dice and celebrating Crits with the group!!
This is my first time watching this and it's just magical
I love Julia Dennis's face when she looks at Deborah talking, she's so in the story it's pretty cute
I like the story. I love the DM. I really enjoy the characters, and the players are great. The set is gorgeous and the props are cool. The technical side (sound, lighting, filming, editing) seems top notch.
This show is awesome!
This set is SO COOL! It’s totally transformed from last episode, and the sunlight LED bay through the plants looks amazing!!!
Technically, all Incapacitated does is prevent a creature from taking actions or reactions. (It basically loses its turn.) That's different from Stunned, which comes with an assortment of other debuffs that are closer to how the umber hulk fight played out. Also, Hypnotic Pattern ends if the creature takes any damage. (It's more of a crowd-control spell, not save-or-die.) That being said, I think the GM made the right call in employing the Rule of Cool to give the bard a chance to shine and wrap the fight up quickly once it was clear that the party had the upper hand.
I'm loving it. Awesome DM, charismatic players and a wonderful adventure... Give me more! I want more!
LMFAO. I love this series. And I love when Julia Dennis (as Annabella in the show) casts Hypnotic Pattern in an episode. She always comes up with something goofy or fun for her image she's displaying. "Oozing caramel and peanuts everywhere..." 🤣⚡ #ILoveRelicsAndRarities
i love the show and the amount of work going into production seems insane, hope it is a smashing success so we can enjoy it for a lot of time
Been playing D&D for 38 years and I must say Im really enjoying this show.
Just a few notes on the rules. That the players are doing which kind of holds them back.
1. When a fighter uses action surge, they get two more attacks because they are taking another attack action. So he should get 4 attacks in total with an action surge.
2. when a barbarian uses reckless attack, both of their attacks get advantage.
3. when something is under the effects of faerie fire, everything that attacks it with an attack roll gets advantage, that would have gone for both the players and the umbra hulk.
Hope this helps, sorry if it sounded snobbish :)
And the character who casts faerie fire is able to choose which creatures are effected, not sure if he was actually choosing them or just thought that since they were in range they were also effected.
@@Syndromesan actually they choose what color the affected creatures glow in
Rules wise I counted at least a mistake a round (missed disadvantage, failure to apply class features, etc.), sometimes multiple. But let’s be honest here, in the end D&D isn’t really about the rules. It’s about creativity and having fun with equally nerdy, goofy, creative people. And on that count this entire thing was a rousing success. Gorgeous imagery, wonderful interaction, and an engaging, inventive storyline... It’s honestly amazing. Deborah’s just so good at the things that REALLY matter.
@@ralenldupuis1814 I agree so hard. Deborah is amazing as DM and all the cast play their characters so well. Lots of heart and love for the game in this series. Makes me wish I knew more people who played.
@@Syndromesan - Faerie Fire does *not* let the caster choose which creatures are affected or not; it's an AoE glitter cannon.
But Veros and Beryl should have gotten Dex saves to avoid the effect, like the Umber Hulk attempted. Or Rikki could have at least tried to place the cube so only the umber hulk was in it, not them.
> Each object in a 20-foot cube within range is outlined in blue, green, or violet light (your choice). Any creature in the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a Dexterity saving throw. For the duration, objects and affected creatures shed dim light in a 10-foot radius.
>
> Any attack roll against an affected creature or object has advantage if the attacker can see it, and the affected creature or object can't benefit from being invisible.
Fortunately, high-stakes tough combats isn't where this series focuses, so the ton of mostly-minor rules mistakes (and a dose of poor tactics) don't affect the big picture much, and we still get the character RP.
But in case anyone's wondering about how this combat could have played out differently following the 5e rules:
Beryl's an Ancestral Guardian barbarian so hitting a creature lets her give it disadvantage on attacking anyone except her.
(Her AC of 12 is lower than she'd have wearing no armor, with just Unarmored Defense for AC 10+0(dex)+3(con) = 13. Maybe she's wearing leather armor that lowers her AC?
And her HP of 42 is a lot lower than average for a lvl5 barbarian with +3 Con, so it seems she got pretty unlucky with her d12 hit dice: 12+3 at first level plus 4x (1d12+3) averages 53.
14:00 - Like (almost?) all creatures with extra stuff that happens on their attack, panther Pounce can only knock the target down if it hits. Since the initial attack missed, no need for a save. Since the Umber Hulk made the save anyway, no harm done.
It should have had advantage because of Faerie Fire, though. Unless it averted its gaze, then FF just cancels disadvantage for a straight roll.
Not sure what stats they were using for the panther; a regular panther has a -2 Cha save, and being a ranger companion doesn't change that to -1 unless there's a magic item we don't know about. A panther as the companion of a lvl5 ranger does have a +5 to hit modifier. (It also has a climb speed, so probably shouldn't have to roll to climb trees while carrying a small creature.)
17:20 - Balm of the Summer Court is only a bonus action like Xander just said; Rikki can still take an action like casting a spell on his turn! I like that he describes what it looks like when casting a spell or using a class ability; I wonder if he got so wrapped up in this one that he made it sounds like something that would take his character's whole action. :P
20:52 - Speed boost isn't part of the official release version of Balm of the Summer Court (XGE), only the temp HP part. Was this recorded some years before it went up on youtube, and they're using a UA playtest version of Circle of Dreams?
Xander said it was a "new" subclass, but even the officially published version was in Xanathar's Guide to Everything (nov 2017), so is this game much older than the 2019 date it went up on youtube?
Also, Balm of the Summer Court isn't a spell, it's a magical class ability. (It seems to be common for people to say they "cast" abilities, but it's rarer for people to actually call them spells.)
22:00 - That potion was poison *immunity*, not just resistance like the Protection from Poison (2nd) spell? I thought Rikki was just giving narrative flavour to casting the spell, which is 1 hour non-concentration. Probably he was, but they mixed up the details of the poison protection.
If Ionos were a level 8 ranger, Land's Stride would let him not take damage from non-magical thorns, but they're level 5 so that part is correct.
26:36 - Becoming incapacitated (by the confusion effect) prevents concentration on a spell, so no, RAW the spell would not still be there. (The "conditions" section of the rules fails to mention this effect; it's only in the spell concentration rules that incapacitated is mentioned.)
It is something the Umber Hulk "magically" does, according to the stat block, so gnome cunning advantage does apply. (Dropping faerie fire seemed tactically unwise in the dark where Veros and Beryl can barely see. Even without that, it's a great spell in a fight with multiple people making attacks. Or it would be if they remembered to use the advantage, and he hadn't splashed it on his allies, too. But if Beryl keeps going reckless, it'll have advantage on her anyway, and the light lets her see.)
----
27:12 - Hypnotic Pattern is an incapacitate that breaks on damage. Against a single target, the worst time to cast it is when your other teammates are "ready to go" and the druid has already cast an AoE damage effect that will trigger on the creature's turn. Also, Beryl is on its back so she needs to save against it; no way to place the area so it'll include the umber hulk but not beryl. (Unless you pick a cube that's mostly underground, just sticking up into the umber hulk.)
28:30 - Incapacitated auto-fails str/dex saves, but not Con.
30:34 - Fluffy didn't attack this turn. I wonder if they checked the ranger rules and found out that RAW, Fluffy doesn't get to attack unless the ranger gives up one of their attacks. Otherwise IDK why he wouldn't continue to have Fluffy attack, instead of just getting ready.
32:15 - incapacitated doesn't give advantage to attackers. Only Stunned and stronger conditions do that.
Seemed like the DM and players were all ready for this combat to just be over, though, so that works.
RAW, they could have all readied actions to do a burst of damage; break hypnotic pattern right after it loses a turn, except moonbeam...
44:08 - Druids are proficient in Wis saves, so Rikki's bonus should be the same as proficient Wis skills like Survival (+7). The +4 is probably his Wis ability mod, forgetting it was a save not a check. Or looking at the wrong place on his character sheet, since he did it again for later saves.
(Opposite of what often happens on Critical Role, where Matt asks for a check or for their ability modifier, and some of the players typically add their save modifiers; even when it's more than +5 so it definitely can't be an ability modifier.)
I love this series so much! Everyone is absolutely fantastic - can't wait for the next episode!
Yessss. I love that she brought back the 4e term Bloodied. There are some things I wish they kept from 4e. New people wont even know about some of these things. Minions being the other.
Bunnicula?! Wow that takes me back! Awesome reference!
Bucket list item: game with Deborah Ann and the folks from R&R. This is a fun series!
Right?! I would LOVE the chance to play a campaign with Deborah as DM. She's so good.
I would love a roulette episode where multiple people come in and giest for fun
For everyone who sees the relics and rarities screen pop up every now and then, I'm pretty sure it's an issue with TH-cam which causes the first frame of the video to repeat throughout. It's happened on some other videos I've watched as well and is usually fixed if they reprocess the video.
This is so good! Excellent group of players, and a really amazing DM.
The different lights kinda reminded me of the emotional spectrum in Green Lantern.
Red for rage, yellow for fear, blue for hope, purple for love and green for will.
Veros against the money bunny is a battle of will.
Sexy bunny is love.
Riki was rage.
Annabelle faced fear.
And the scoot brought hope (food) for the starving bunny family?
At first I thought it was gonna be deadly sins-greed, anger, lust…doesn’t explain the hungry bunnies though.
This show is so good. Never stop making this show
SO pumped for the new episode, but a quick note: the way you guys are titling your R+R episodes is *super* confusing.
"Part 2" and "Episode 3" BOTH being in the title makes it seem like this is episode 3.2 - the second part of the third episode. When in fact it's not. It's the SECOND part of the SECOND R+R episode (if we are defining episodes by the full episodes on Twitch, distinct from each other so far by their guest cameo changing). For clarity, this episode should be labeled as Part 2 of Episode 2 - or if you really need to count the partial episode uploads to TH-cam as their own "Episode" on TH-cam, you would need to take away the "Part #" section and only refer to them by Episode number.
I thought you mis-uploaded at first and only clicked the video to leave a comment - I hope other people looking at their sub box don't make the same mistake! R+R deserves to be seen by all interested nerds, Ms. Woll is paintin' worlds like Bob Ross.
EDIT: Looks like G&S went back and retitled the R+R episodes so that the episode sequencing on TH-cam is clearer. Thanks so much, Geek & Sundry team!
I totally agree!
so seeing it only on youtube i am missing episodes of the show?.. great :(
@@MinTubeDk If you're talking about the Twitch episodes I mentioned, don't worry - they will be delayed, but not missing or skipping any episodes. (In this particular case, it seems they just made the title of this video confusing, but this is in fact the next sequential video in the R+R series on TH-cam.)
It looks like Geek & Sundry's current uploading MO (since their Alpha service powered down) is to upload their shows to TH-cam on a delay after they are aired live on Twitch. Think of Twitch like live TV/cable and TH-cam is like Hulu - you can catch the show on Twitch first, but rest assured that the fresh episodes will show up on TH-cam in time.
EDIT: They just don't split the episodes up into parts on Twitch and air the guest cameo session in a single block, if that helps to clarify.
@@MinTubeDk no just getting them later
I guess you could just check the episode part and ignore the rest :)
Wonder whats with the logo constantly popping back in for a frame like a subliminal message. Weird, but am enjoying the show!
Hahaha! I thought that was my TH-cam app freaking out because I downloaded the video using the offline feature.
Another lovely game. Really felt like I'm in the world. Brilliant effort from everyone involved.
Beryl for president! Love the style and obvious fun that everyone is having.
I think using a craps whip (stick) is something the RPG community needs to adopt. Well done Deborah! :D
I really am loving the show! Deborah is super-imaginative as DM, the players engaged and enthusiastic, I really like the whole "guest player" concept! I just wish they knew the rules a bit better....
i didn't play any table rpg for nearly 10 years now but i'm having a lot of fun with your videos! you're all looking like really great people, continue like this! thx from a french ex-player!

You see five lights. "There are Four Lights!" J.L. Picard
Those are the best DnD games I ever seen.
I know next to nothing about DnD but man I love this.... I'd love to actually play with ppl
Deb would run incredible Vaesen adventures.
Reckless attack applies to all attacks on the turn.
they are so un-maximized i love it xDD
This is great, I hope it will continue into eternity!
Annabella should have told the rat to "GO FOR THE EYES, BOO!"
GO FOR THE SAUSAGE!
Love the fighter player, and the quemistry with the barbarian player is superb
I love this series so much!
I love watching Deborah torment her players :D
Never played but really loving this :)
such a charming story !
In case anyone's curious about how the 5e rules work:
Going reckless gives you advantage on *all* your attacks for the turn. Fortunately Beryl still hit, and Deborah reminded her about rage bonus damage this time, since she missed it on some attacks last episode.
Also, as an Ancestral Guardian barbarian, hitting a creature lets her give it disadvantage on attacking anyone except her.
8:34 - Veros and Beryl should get Dex saves to avoid Faerie Fire. Or Rikki could have centered the cube so at least one of them wasn't in it. If the Umber Hulk is tall enough, he could put it over their heads. But probably not; orienting the cube so its centered above the umber hulk with one corner sticking down into its space (like an inverted pyramid) would work well.
Still potentially a good move since it's dark, and it will already have advantage to hit Beryl this turn anyway since she attacked reckless. And maybe it'll keep its attention on the meat shields instead of the ranged attackers that aren't confused, so they can hopefully end the fight before anyone goes down.
9:52 - Sleep doesn't scale very well with level: as an all-or-nothing spell, it often does nothing for level 5 characters, especially against one tough creature. The umber hulk had been "bloodied", but I got the impression from the DM that it wasn't much below half HP. An average roll on 5d8 is only 22.5, and the melee attackers did more than that. Fortunately the melee characters were still at full health so it didn't put them to sleep either, but I wouldn't be surprised if the umber hulk wasn't the lowest-HP creature in the area, unless Annabelle picked the target area better than Rikki.
Still, trying to crowd-control in this circumstance (both melee characters Confused, and it's about to be the Umber Hulk's turn so it's ok to use something that breaks on damage) is a good plan, just not the right spell for the job. Hypnotic Pattern could have worked (if she could avoid incapacitating allies with it, although it does break on damage.)
In episode 1 we saw Annabelle use Shatter on a single target; if she doesn't have any good non-AoE damage spells, maybe that's why she went for it?
(Pretty clearly Julia is somewhat new to 5e and maybe TTRPGs, so the occasional swing and a miss is going to happen more often.)
14:00 - Like (almost?) all creatures with extra stuff that happens on their attack, panther Pounce can only knock the target down if it hits. Since the initial attack missed, no need for a save. Since the Umber Hulk made the save anyway, no harm done.
Also, I'm curious what stats they're using for the panther. Seems like it's a beastmaster ranger companion, but they're letting it attack on its turn without costing the ranger even a bonus action to command that. (Original 5e ranger beastmaster had pretty bad action-economy costs.)
A regular Panther has +2 Str without athletics proficiency, but they added +4 for its athletics check last episode.
A beastmaster companion adds the ranger's proficiency bonus to attack, and damage, but only to saves and abilities it's proficient in. A panther only has perception proficiency and stealth expertise, no special saving-throw modifiers. It has -2 Cha, so I wondered if they were using stats from a beefier cat that also has Pounce, like a Lion or Tiger which have Cha -1.
A panther as the companion of a lvl5 ranger does have a +5 to hit (its +2 str plus the rangers +3 proficiency bonus, instead of a basic panther's own +2 proficiency bonus.)
A lion or tiger has a +5 attack bonus on paper, so if they didn't apply the beastmaster adjustments then that would match. That wouldn't explain the athletics modifier, though, with lion and tiger having +3 Str.
17:20 - Balm of the Summer Court is only a bonus action like he just said; Rikki can still take an action like casting a spell on his turn!
Funny to see this narratively flavoured as a literal skin-cream balm, rather than the usual metaphorical meaning.
20:32 - Beryl's AC should be 13 if she's not wearing armor, since she's a barbarian; 10 + 0 (dex) + 3 (con) = 13, which is already really low for a front-line character.
Maybe she's wearing leather armor or something that lowers her AC even further and stops her from using Unarmored Defense? :(
A breastplate would give her AC 14 + 0(dex) without interfering with any barbarian abilities.
Since she didn't attack on the previous round, and didn't take damage, her rage would have ended. (The umber hulk went for the giant rat instead of any party members, so at least it contributed by taking a hit for the PCs. Beryl's HP total is quite low, 11 below average for 12+3 + 4x (1d12+3) = average 53 for a lvl5 barbarian with +3 Con.
20:52 - Speed boost isn't part of the official release version of Balm of the Summer Court (XGE), only the temp HP part. Was this recorded some years before it went up on youtube, and they're using a UA playtest version of Circle of Dreams?
Xander said it was a "new" subclass, but even the officially published version was in Xanathar's Guide to Everything (nov 2017), so is this game much older than the 2019 date it went up on youtube?
Also, Balm of the Summer Court isn't a spell, it's a magical class ability. (It seems to be common for people to say they "cast" abilities, but it's rarer for people to actually call them spells.)
22:00 - That potion was poison *immunity*, not just resistance like the Protection from Poison (2nd) spell? I thought Rikki was just giving narrative flavour to casting the spell, which is 1 hour non-concentration. Probably he was, but they mixed up the details of the poison protection.
Rangers get to ignore difficult terrain in some cases but not this, so it was correct to cost Ionos extra movement. They can ignore it when travelling for more than an hour in favoured terrain, but not tactical movement running through instead of around briars. For that he'd need the lvl8 ranger ability Land's Stride, which lets you ignore nonmagical difficult terrain, and move through nonmagical plants without taking damage from their thorns. But they're only lvl5.
24:40 - Deborah's ruling on this surprised me, ruling that it costs Beryl her whole turn (action) to get up on the monster's back. I'd have though this would be movement + grapple (costing one of her attacks). Using her bare hands instead of her axe is probably going to do less damage as well, so other DM's I've watched (like Brennan, Matt, or Aabria, or Jasmine herself years later) would probably have gone with the player on this to let them at least still make one attack for the turn, or figure out if they were going to create some effect other than damage with what they're going for. Bare hands would be unarmed strike, 1 + rage + str vs. 1d12 + same.
Maybe Deborah's being more conservative here because Beryl's trying to use this to attack without having the umber hulk's eyes in her field of view.
Overall I really enjoy Deborah's DMing, and one ruling I disagree with doesn't change that. Still, feels like a bit of a mis-step to me, especially with Jasmine's character not getting to do anything on her previous turn.
26:36 - Becoming incapacitated (by the confusion effect) prevents concentration on a spell, so no, RAW the spell is not still there. (The "conditions" section of the rules fails to mention this effect; it's only in the spell concentration rules that incapacitated is mentioned.)
> Gnome Cunning. You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic.
The umber hulk confusion effect is indeed magical, so gnomes do have advantage on it. "the umber hulk can *magically* force it to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw, unless the umber hulk is incapacitated."
Also, dropping Faerie Fire reminds me: they forgot to apply advantage for Mr Fluffy and Ionos's attacks. And for Veros, although if he was averting his gaze then it just cancels disadvantage.
27:12 - Hypnotic Pattern is an incapacitate that breaks on damage. Against a single target, the worst time to cast it is when your other teammates are "ready to go" and the druid has already cast an AoE damage effect that will trigger on the creature's turn.
28:30 - Incapacitated auto-fails str/dex saves, but not Con.
Moonbeam is radiant damage, not fire.
29:05 - Hypnotic pattern simply ends on damage, no save required. That's what Xander just read out loud. Deborah was thinking of other spells like Tasha's Hideous Laughter where damage does allow another save (with advantage), not automatically breaking the effect. Really easy to hear what you're expecting instead of what someone actually said, especially while also thinking DM thoughts about everything that's going on and the story that's coming next, not just this rule question.
29:45 - The umber hulk is incapacitated, so even if Ionos could see its eyes, it couldn't force him to save against confusion. (But the characters maybe don't know that, so it makes sense they'd still be trying to avoid eye contact.)
30:34 - I wonder if they checked the ranger rules and found out that RAW, Fluffy doesn't get to attack unless the ranger gives up one of their attacks. Otherwise IDK why he wouldn't continue to have Fluffy attack, instead of just getting ready.
32:15 - incapacitated doesn't give advantage to attackers. Only Stunned and stronger conditions do that.
Seemed like the DM and players were all ready for this combat to just be over, though, so that works.
RAW, they could have all readied actions to do a burst of damage; break hypnotic pattern right after it loses a turn, except moonbeam...
44:08 - Druids are proficient in Wis saves, so Rikki's bonus should be the same as proficient Wis skills like Survival (+7). The +4 is probably his Wis ability mod, forgetting it was a save not a check.
Like Ricky's flavoring of his Druid circle abilities!
The set is pretty awesome.
The single frame of relics and rarities one white that keeps popping up is indeed bothersome, but good show regardless. Story is most important overall, but I have to compliment G&S on the set, stage lighting and audio. It's a plus to have these elements of the show executed so well.
I am 100% going to use that encounter in my games
41:59 "...and you are terrified"
"oh, yeah"
XD
Annabella and take care of herself... and she'll take the yellow. YAAS 💛
Shoutout to the notification squad!
Notification Squad 🎉
I only wish these were longer, maybe 2-3 hours long at least. Each episode currently feels like they get short far too early (i.e. it is very weird to have short DnD sessions cus it takes time to get things done)
I now know why I don't have a DM group, my gut reaction at 48:48 - "What do you do?" ....I wait 4 seconds....
Around 44min...did DAW just reference Bunnicula!? Hell yes!
Go for the sausage!!
The Shove attack is a Str: Athletics vs Str: Athletics or Dex: Acrobatics to either push the target 5 feet or knock it prone.
guys... i just love you. :)
I had to lol when sausage was mentioned
Good episode so far.
Could hope for a more organized title like Relics and Rarities | Episode 2 - part 2 | The Trail of the Hidden Ones (feat. Sam Richardson). It's fine though. I'm just an organizing nut. xD
Faerie Fire: / 8:33 / Any creature in the area when the spell is cast is also outlined in light if it fails a Dexterity saving throw. The two party members were not given the opportunity to roll the save throw.
can we rename the episode to episode 2 part 2? because its pretty confusing....
Reckless Attack affects all attack rolls made for the round.
When Ricky used his Balm of summer court dice what ability allowed him to increase the speed of the person he used it on? One of my players is a Circle of Dreams Druid and I have never seen that
The 5ft movement boost per die was when the subclass was Unearthed Arcana - it didn't carry through when it went 'live' in Xanathar's.
Ok can someone please help.
I would love to watch the full game but cannot afford Alpha or twitch or whatever is required and now I am seeing part episodes and odd names, can you tell me this please.
Can I watch them all on You Tube like I do critical role?
Thanks. :)
Carabus 03 - AFAIK there have been three episodes total on TH-cam: Episode 1 The Haunting of Benthem Manor (1 part) and Episodes 2 & 3 (Trail of the Hidden Ones 1 and Trail of the Hidden Ones 2). It looks to me like they're planning on a regular TH-cam release.
This seems to be the official Relics and Rarities playlist (which I got by clicking on the Geek and Sundry youtube profile link in the description under the video, then "Playlists", then found the link under "created playlists": < th-cam.com/video/JcaxZbUjfaY/w-d-xo.html >
It seems to already have all the guest interviews, so that might be a spoiler, and if you watch the guest interviews ahead of the ep you might also spoil some details from the ep, but whoever is managing the list seems to be inserting the episodes in story order and before the matching guest interview. The TH-cam release schedule for new episodes seems to be every Monday. Enjoy!
Dead lights reference, nice...
Why am I still being haunted by the image of those poor starving bunnies even though I know they were an illusion?
35:46 there are four lights!
What is Xander's (blue hair) character? I understand he is a Gnome (maybe even Forest Gnome?) As a race but what is his class? Based on that Umber Hulk battle and last episode, he appears to use vials but he focuses on healing/ medicine checks but he fights with spells like Enhance Senses - Owl Wisdom and this episode he used Faerie Fire... So I am torn between Artificer because of the vials as his "component bag" but maybe the vials are his arcane foci for some magic class... Oh, wait! He used Druidcraft on the seed and he made Goodberries last episode so he is a Druid. Nevermind.
So our party consists of Gnome Druid, (Race) Bard, maybe Human because of lack of Dark vision, (Race) Barbarian, and (Race) Fighter. The Fighter is obviously Tommy (pretty boy) because he used a shield last episode but he also uses two-handed weapons. The Barbarian obviously because of the Raging. Finally, the Bard because of Lute and Bardic Inspiration. Now all I need is Races
Greg Putnam Since the fighter also lacks dark vision, my best guess it’s: Gnome Druid, Human Fighter, Half Orc Barbarian, Human Bard. Honestly have only seen a few episodes though.
He is a druid who casts spells like an artificer but that is mostly for flavor...
Oh! Nice Monday surprise ..
Oh, can't find Episode 2 ..
Oh man, is this crazy, but I would let that creature stare at that caramel and I'd just walk away. x]
Subliminal message at 7:50!
didn't catch what you're throwing down at 7:50
However I did spot something just past 11:01✨🦄✨
Just wondering what version of a ranger was being used here
I thought reckless counted for all attacks?!?
Nice episode. Weird subliminal messages through out the show was kinda weird though.
I can watch Julia forever and ever...such an angelic face/anime.
Go for the sausage... the guys “holy SHIT NO!” ... the ladies “oh, intestines obviously” ... ...
What's up with the subliminal flashes of the logo? Trying to make us watch more? 😜
is there no R&R today??
DAW is a genious
Damn! Annabella gets dark!
man wish i could get into D&D. unfortunately all my friends...they uhh...yeah i dont think theyd like it.
dude theres a lot of communities online. None of my friends hold even the slightest interest so its what I did and its great dude. Try /r lfg on reddit or just roll20 website both have a lot games for beginners
43:00 ... Jessica Rabbit?!
? if incapacitated, doesnt monster lose DEX to AC ?
should have upcast the sleep spell
Fluffy should've gained advantage for flanking and the fighter should've gotten disadvantage for averting his gaze.
warhammer does 1d8 not 1d6
I feel like the barbarian is role playing great but needs help on the mechanics.
25:53
if you are going to break up the episode up into parts have a recap or upload the hole thing
The constant flashing of the white title screen is so annoying and gives me a headache. I already like the show, stop trying to brainwash me.
The blonde girl in the middle clearly doesn’t understand meta-gaming. She is always trying to react to what she hears instead of what her character would know.
For a improv guy Sam was boring as hell.
This is so good! Excellent group of players, and a really amazing DM.
