Turns out everyone at VLDL has a different spelling for the name of the Dragon of Schmargonrog in their heads and hearts 😂
How should it be spelled? You tell us!
I trust Lorqu1n's ears: Tyrelion
❤
Tur'ællien the Fierce!
Lol, my ears have been very wrong before! I tried to find [the dragon] in a skit but couldn't. I didn't ask Rob for the spelling but he didn't kick off at Tyrelion so I took that as correct 😂
With several umlauts and an unnecessary apostrophe, clearly 😁
@@Lorqu1nI don’t think it’s ever been written in any official content before lol.
Only in my lore building notes.
DM - "You wake up with a point if exhaustion from staying up too late spending time on you phone, you know how it is..."
Me - watching VLDL DnD at 3am
Go to bed now! 🌘
Congrats on your point of exhaustion 😂 But it is worth it 😄
Lucky for us, this only applies to d&d and not in real life.
It's 5am here now. I need next episode! 😠
I'm guessing that Bodger is exhausted from trying to focus on reading while Bob is having his 4 hours of "alone time".
GM: “If you fight Tyraliun you *will* die”
Translation: “I have just spent all my free time for three weeks planning Tyraliun into the campaign and I will *not* allow you to kill him here and now.”
Ah, don’t worry! I’m sure his true threat, Groundtree Sky the ancient and well established threat will fit in his place.
@@onecoolboy98 I think it was skygrountree but yes. This
The bit in LOTR:Fellowship where Gandalf says "This foe is beyond any of you!"
I dimension door a portal into the dragon's mouth, and feed the dragon my remaining magic beans along with some dirt. 🫘
DM: "It doesn't even need to swallow, the beans are consumed. As the dragon begins to breathe in to use its fire breath, it suddenly explodes, revealing a massive red beanstalk that had coiled itself inside its stomach, and is now growing from the corpse of Tyralian, the draconic deity, and blessed by the divine blood it drinks, the stalk begins to grow in all directions, pulling clouds near to the deadlands as it establishes portals to the sky realm deep within its roots. Heaven and earth in this area collide, and all manner of heavenly bodies begin to warp the ground into a new plane of existence within a 4D20 mile radius around the decreased dragon. You now find yourselves surrounded by all manner of vine, cloud, and stream, and as the earth begins to ignite beneath your feet, you quickly scamper up onto a large stalk root. The clouds are drawn to the heart of the earth and become a thick fog. Welcome... to a new land in Azerim; a Firmament that has long awaited its existence... A sentient plane that will someday be known as... "The Sky Wilds".
Well, if it has hitpoints, it can be killed. It's a matter of whether the price is worth it though.
Rob's GMing makes me want to play TTRPGs in a way that all other dnd content doesn't even come close to
I have been running a 13 year campaign using a different system. Watching this made me start running DnD too!
This comment. 💯
Absolutely, I got into D&D in the first place and later DMing from this channel, keeping Rob as a great idol
@@grouchingtiger Moving to 5e from a different system seem like a backwards step.
Same
The group saying "shing shing" as Bob took out his pretend swords made my heart happy 😊
It was awesome!
"F*** around and find out fireball noises" is one of the absolute best captions on this one. If y'all aren't watching with the captions on, you definitely need to! Great episode guys!
I forgot! Thanks for the reminder!
Have you ever noticed that almost every episode of D&D on this channel has at least one comment about how good Rob is as a DM? 179 episodes have already been released, and people are still writing about it. I think that says a lot!
Cause he is. The guy made me find a d&d group that ive joined about a year ago. The dm isnt close to what rob is. But still its fun as heck
Same goes for me. Ive been dnding for a year now. Had the opportunity and took it.
"that spellbook? Rightfully yours!"
Except it's Leathold's and he just wrote his name in it to fool elven customs 🤣
Baradun: "To beat evil you need to know evil"
Bob: "Yeah I AM evil"
Fire Giants: "What?"
Bob: "What?"
I feel Rob on the door time. I spent over a week painting a miniature alchemy table for a BBEG encounter. I pointed it out and the players were like, "Oh that's nice I guess." And just fought as normal.
See, you are a nicer person than me. My immediate thoughts on this are, fine, BBEG uses ranged magic or otherwise triggers a massive explosion of the tables contents. Then roll a butt-ton of dice for what kinds of effects and damage are going to burst forth from the scattered flasks.
But I am petty that way.
didn’t they use the door in PVP?
@@martinajurickova5750 pvp was shot after this, based on Bodger's hammer having abilities there that it it does not have now.
@@karategirl084 Oh they exploded! That was the fight's gimmick. Whole room full of alchemy stuff along the walls and tables... muahaha
Poor Rob getting so excited for his entrance doorway...that none of us could really see! Love the greenscreen cutaway for the reference to it! 🤣 awesome episode as always
Rob admitting his wasted time on the door just because of nerdy enthusiasm is so cute 🥰
I think Rowan might have forgotten he bought a fire resistance potion from clem's grandma for a hefty price
he said in the greenscreen that he’s invincible to fire, so he sure remembers that.
@@martinajurickova5750Well, he said it during the green screen filming. That doesn’t mean he remembered it when the table top part was being filmed. 😂
Starting to realize just how long Greg, Bodger, and Baradun have been away from their spots in the normal game. At this point, they would be replaced by placeholder NPCs to give out the same quests.
Greg probably replaced by Fred Orchardson (Hamish) constantly giving the quest "Greg's Sheep have Run Amok" and telling the same histories about Honeywood. And Fred is surprisingly better than Greg as the local friendly hub quest giver.
Bodger could be replaced by either Baelin or Fred's (Hamish) Wife. Simple enough to smith the "common" items anyone could do it really.
Bardun isn't just replaced by Leothil but by a Simulcrum of Leothil (the new Acting High Sorcerer doesn't have time to enact his plans AND save the game world in Bardun's stead ... plus gives Rob the chance to just walk around Honeywood or game events like Baradun and not be as much of a jerk about it ) And Leothil (Rob) is better at saving the world than Baradun ... just Baradun does it MORE since he was never burdened with administrative work.
Fred and his Wife obviously get replaced by the Muggers Bernard and Charles who now "mug" orchards and then double the mugging by selling the "mugged" produce for coins. And it turns they are better at selling vegetables than Fred.
The Muggers ofc are replaced by 2 geese that go around mugging people. The 2 geese are also way more intimidating and have more success at mugging.
So ... those 3 being away on a journey, and the gameplay experience in Honeywood is actually more efficient.
Greg and Bodger make it back to Honeywood just to find the town is thriving. The store is doing great. People are lined up at the blacksmith. Fred and his wife's relationship are almost perfect (they've take over greg's house and both are busy with their better jobs). The muggers are raking it in and have made a fortune. The geese are the most intimidating muggers ever (even successfully mugging The Watcher and The Dragon.)

"huge mistake roars"
"F*** around and find out fireball noises"
God, Lor, I LOVE YOU! Don't forget to turn on the subs, guys!
Adam’s MVP, saving them from multiple fireballs that aren’t from him this time 😂🎉
"HEY... I'm the only one that fireballs my friends."
Welp it's 5:04am and my alarm goes off at 6:15am. I will take my one level of exhaustion.
It’s inspiring to watch these virtuosos take Rob’s setting descriptions and instantly create the dialogue that brings it alive for their characters. Pure improvisational genius!
"fuck around and find out fireball noises" is my new fvorite subtitles quote, I loled so hard at this, thanks Lorquin 😂😂😂
"Free of charge - except you've gotta pay for it" 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
So, assuming I’ve got my time zone math right, it’s now Friday in NZ, which means … happy birthday, Rob! 🎉
Ooh! Happy birthday to Rob 🎊
Happy birthday!
We better sing the song! He loves it! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ROB~
Happy birthday, Rob!
@@Vermouth_19 What if we add his astrology sign to the song for extra flavor?
This series got me into dnd, Started playing with some other foreigners in Beijing and this week I'm DM'ing my first session. Cheers Rob and the Dickheads.
Perception through the roof, guys! 😂
Racism is... Bad.
Baradun: "...I suspected as much."
In that case, i will never race again.
Bodger speaking giant should be like Dory speaking to whales in Finding Nemo :D
I find it funny how bodgers speech mentioned baraduns spell book being rightfully his but we know he stole it at the start of the campaign 😂
Was listening to your Epic NPC podcast from a few weeks ago and I 100% agree that this D&D channel really has brought some depth to those characters and I can see (especially with Bodger) how it informs how you play them in the Epic NPC series.
Ben is unknowingly creating an advantage charisma check for Bob with a player character known as Horatio by training Whotsit's performance.
Oddly I am very invested in the "Will Bodger craft something?" saga (ignoring the shield he crafted over 100 episodes ago)
bodger trying to remember stuff is some of the funniest stuff I have ever watched
if the ring had worked in a situation where the giant red dragon was diving... momentum would suggest that as he breaks off the attack, the giant steaming pile of dragon 'leavings' would continue on his previous trajectory... meaning that the party would be in the splash zone.
Bludgeoning AND acid damage.
Bodger reading a book on strength should also raise his intelligence
I mean are we sure it isn't a piture book?
This is the first episode I’m watching as it released, finally finished watching every single old DND episode. Loved it!
Welcome to the weekly wait club
Its funny watching Baradun continually trying to upgrade that spell that the party is never going to use.
They can't use it, they might need it later!
@@Veelasiren Exactly, its too precious to waste, got to save it for an important occasion, which will never happen because the spell is only useful in hindsight.
@@meh2510 I think that's why Baradun is upgrading it though. So he can just use it and it rewinds time, therefore not needing to use it in advance of a potential threat.
It's more like seeing him continually trying to upgrade the scroll until it gets destroyed by a Nat 1. Rob mentioned the scroll upgrade levels in a previous episode and it seemed like Baradun was very far from getting it to a "steal item" level.
This whole place is Rob saying, "Remember what I've told you or things are gonna go bad for you"
That makes me wonder if dragon poop would do damage. lol
Big thanks to Rob for the huge work.
Just an example
As a fan from Russia i see that Kuznesh was created from Kuznets (rus. -Blacksmith)
And knowing that Orcs have strong Russian accent adding more layers.
I'm amazed by Rob's solid approach.
21:50
"Go away!"
We already have a holy grail!
bob's special time should train strength and endurance
Watching the misfits at the same time really brings home the cause and effect of this living campaign. Well done Rob. Well done.
I love how the girls are trying to give each over the cloak but the boys just snatch everything offered, regardless of who would benefit the most. 😂
179 episode and it still feel fresh 👌
Citadel one shot? See how far they can go and if they make it all the way through maybe a little reward for the actual campaign and if they die it was just a collective dream, we've all had those before right?
A "What If" episode. 😁
To DM Robert Hartley: Don't feel bad about not having a camera on the little door. One thing about TH-cam now is I can turn up the quality to the max on my phone and zoom in on it to really see the detail. Great job, brother!
That door green screen was awesome. I've definitely spent way too much time on things my players engage with but for a moment. Glad to know it isn't just me!
Bodger turning into a bookworm is a rather unexpected bit of character development...
It's his midlife crisis.
Rob says he's dipping into Russian again, says three words in German, then dives back into Russian :)
Amazing person, Rob, the fact that he can do and knows these languages :)
Might as well make the giants Russo-German :)
Players hold up a sign saying we like giants .
ROB:That's not gonna work. But if I say that it will be another hour of them trying to plan , Bringing Djeoph out , Bob will explode one and ... That's three episodes and we're still not up the mountain
. Yes. That works.
*Any GM:* "If you fight this boss, you WILL die."
*Every Party:* "Wot? That sounds like a CHALLENGE to me!"
Every time lol
When players need to craft stuff:
DM: Yeah, crafting this weapon will take you several long rests after you collect materials worth about twice of what this weapon would be sold for at the vendor.
When the NPCs need to craft stuff:
DM: The druid spends like an hour crafting shoes, hiking and climbing gear out of random rocks and stuff just lying around, for a party of four, and doesn't even ask for money or anything.
Staying up reading a book to a point of exhauation - yes, we've indeed all been there, I loved the understanding tone in Rob's voice. XD
i love how its been almost 200 episodes and rob still has to play their characters for them
I believe it should be canonically impossible for Bodger to finish his book, because his "amnesia" would kick in every time and he'd forget what he read previously.
Baradun and the Dick Heads visit a peaceful ork village deep in the woods... considering their history, what could PooosIBly go wrong?
Bodger gets multiple STDs that require Wish to remove. Also, remember how each party member gets a wish? Did that ever get resolved?
Calling it now, Badgers goin to save the world by making Kelothac shit himself and die of embarrassment.
So proud of how much you've all grown in this since you began.
Y'all should definitely consider leveling up Whazzit perhaps tied in with Bob's leveling up as well as giving him extra training along the way, so that he in more effective in combat and tasks.
14:39 Damn, those are some rad murgols, Ajoh !
Hell yes they are!
Yes! And the one wearing bone armor is actually quite cute haha. I had to pause to admire them a bit longer
Testing fate with a TPK as the consequence... A total BAND thing to do.😂
Actually imagining them in the green screen skits as minis is a lot of fun.
I really like the idea of them showing up and trying to win the giants until they namedrop the cloud giant lady. First would be Greg "I am a cleric of life, on a mission to save our material plane and all lives in it from the new dark lord", to which they would ignore.
Then it would be Baradun: "I am the high sorcerer Baradun, seeking to regain my power and prestige to save the entirety of existence." but they also wouldn't work. Bob would be like "I am the Blad That Sings, destined to save all of your kind and hopefully get mad rich in the process". Finally, Bodger would be like "I am just their friend, tagging along with a hammer that rightfully belongs to me. Also, we met the Countess Whaterverzergrie" so they let them in.
I hope for the future, any time Rob pulls out a COOL MINI we should get a closeup/separate video showcasing them
So.. I never actually checked how many episodes there were in this series. I loved listening to this in my way too and from work, and yesterday I made the shock realisation I was caught up 😢
I kinda presumed given it was a few years old the story would have been wrapped up by now 😂 (Glad it hasn't)
A Futurama quote comes to mind "It took an hour to write, I thought it would take an hour to read"
And finally, me and my wife are going to watch an up-to-date video, which we had to wait for. Didn't want to use recaps, because each episode was a masterpiece! Now, on the one hand, we have this magical anticipation for every next ep. But on the other, there is no longer a 100% guarantee of awesome content for any evening.
Thank you guys for exesting and bringing so much joy in our lives! And yes, the new Bodger ring was a thing that finally worked as a 100% seller for my friends, so keep up with shenanigans (Rob, stay strong)!
I know this session was recorded months ago, but happy belated birthday, Rowan. Hope to see your guy's life after 40 video! 😂
Rob thanks so much, you have inspired me over the past few years to embrace GM'ing. I thoroughly enjoy it and want to thank you for inspiring me to take it to the next level for both the players and myself. These videos bring me joy on a thursday. Thanks to you and all the guys at VLDL. 🤩
Why do people never think "why do I need to worry about this scroll being the only copy? I've got a pen and paper, I can write down everything and make another one"? I mean, yeah, there might be magic infused into it, but if he knows what that magic is and is able to tinker with it then he can write a description of what that magic is and how to tinker with it. He doesn't just have to write the words on the scroll. It's also too bad that Greg isn't an artificer anymore. He had a Xerox machine at one point...
I got mugged twice...it was great, thanks y'all.
Ben flat repeating Rob's descriptions, as Bob, had me giggling. It felt very "annoying little brother on a roadtrip," fun when you aren't on the receiving end. 😅
It immediately reminded me of Britt. She did it in Misfits several times.
boys just be boys, no matter the age :D
Just watched the latest episode of Misfits. And now I am blessed with this
"Do we have any kind of plan?"
Best time to ask that? PROBABLY before the rest. Or that rest. Or that one, Rob gave them enough chances.
Worst time? After you realize you needed a plan.
the lads trying to 4 man an ancient dragon that takes 8 heroes to take down would be funny as
If anyone haven't been watching the Ladies campaign, it's surprisingly relevant. Don't know if that was intended or a coincidence
guess, Rob just didn’t want all his scripting go to waste
Orcish is shmadding sh shmo sheverything, and giant is talking BIGGER.
VLDL has the best cannon!
Please get us a close up of the table for minis and terrain! Would love to see it all in more detail :)
Rob should make a book of all his rules and stuff. Maybe call it "Robs Big Book".
It goes without saying that the midroll muggers ad wrote itself. Pure merchandising gold.
"Do we have any kind of plan?" Dude, do you even D&D?? Who has time for plans?
I've been watching the supercuts from the beginning cause I can't get enough of this series 😁❤
I love how Bodger mentioned Laethil's spellbook while pointing out that it's rightfully Baradun's. A pity no one noticed.
When Rob asked for a spellcheck on the massive sign Baradun cast over his head (at 20:53), I thought (at first) he was checking to see if the sign was spelled correctly. Let's face it, it would'v be funny if Baradun misspelled the words on the sign, and that triggered an attack....but it was only to check for a wild surge.
These are legit my fav videos on YT by far, thank you guys
Imagine them doing all that work on the new set for a table top game and then NOT one person thinks, “Hey maybe we should put a camera focused on the actual tabletop.” 🤦♂️
Finished watching since no. 97 when i stopped till now in few days...
Still fun to watch, even though (will be using Char names) Bodger keeps totally forgetting about his polymorph hammer rolls, Baradun does not read Scabbatha book (and constantly forgets about wild surges), Greg does not use those floating weapons that can attack during bonus action (forgot the spell name rn) and Bob is just... Bob :)
"Just a meat crayon" - such an under-rated line.
30:49 Happy birthday Rowan!
A table cam would be pretty cool for seeing the awesome minis.
6:25 thank you guys for the years of entertainment! Love you guys. I look forward to the next creation. *waves bye* 😂😂
Wait, Baradün stole his spell book... It's NOT rightfully his!
That was one hell of a door
German to English: weiss schweihut weiss lasiert=white sweat hat glazed white
Eins Zwei Drei= one two three.
I wonder how many languages Robert knows thats so cool
Fun Fact: in lotr all the famous "elvish" blades were actually forged by the dwarves for elven kings.
I've been rewatching all these waiting for the new episodes each week, rob is an amazing DM
If you fight the big angry dragon you will die is basically telling them to not press the big red button.
you did the german counting quite well. Gefällt mir.
ROB, German is a crisp accent, not a _slav-enly_ one.
The giants don't have big tusks in the way like the orcs, good sir. 💌
When is a door not a door? When Rob spent a half hour trying to get through a model one.
Yes! Use the mini sets as the green screens! You will all really be in the environment!
Above dwarven standards as giants are somewhat bigger than dwarves, and therefore, everything of theirs is above dwarven standards
One more chapter = a level of exhaustion.
