Honey I Shrunk the Peasants is one of our new VivaPlus exclusive shows - you can go watch Episode 2 right now at vivaplus.tv 🌟 Episodes will be dropping exclusively over there weekly! Don't worry, our main campaigns aren't going anywhere on TH-cam ;)
Get 20% off an annual subscription of any tier with the code SAVE20 for new members!
ah, so I can only watch them over there? Guess I should cancel my TH-cam membership(on the main VLDL channel) since content is going to be on a different platform. No sense paying every month for...what...the permission to access a handful of emojis? I genuinely thought the membership had some sort of *purpose*.
Watch the recorded livestream. They can't do the things they want at YT membership, this was one of the reasons to make VivaPlus.
Don't forget to take a look at DC20, it is trending very fast within the community, using an action points system instead of forcing people to a bonus action, reaction and 1 action that are not interchangeable.
@@Seelenschmiede yeah, it just sucks bcus I thought the membership was worth it and then it just turned into an entirely new subscription service that I have to get, so I might as well cancel the one here. Just feel like I wasted money when I could have supported them differently from the beginning if I had known the YT membership was going to be pointless
you just killed my enthusiasm congratulations.
"exclusive shows"
It's sad to see you guys go this route.
I was hoping you guys would do what CR does with Beacon where the series first air in their service and weeks or a month later air for free on TH-cam.
But no you guys had to go the exclusive route.
I like your content guys but I can't support this, if it was like Beacon i would understand, but locking content behind a paywall, I can't support this.
"Oh, no. My identical twin brother Byron. Dead as I live and breathe. But fear not, for I, Tyron will avenge him."
XD CLASIC!!!
I hope for one of these Bored oneshots, Rob writes and acts out one of Ben's scams and then they do an actual episode of it.
I'm all for this! A very creative idea. I love the thought of watching a D&D Ep whereby they decide the story based on their characters reactions, but then we also get a skit based on how that D&D story went 😅 If that's sort of what you meant aha.
Especially if Ben is along but pretending not to know! ...like his logic videos
Ooh yeah, heist style
Intentionally choosing to roll Bob's dice is like dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.
The face Alan made immediately after Rob said “they’ve assured me they are up to the task” was great.
Britt having a mini doll of her self was the most in character thing I ever saw in RPG!
Only halfway through the video and already it is so meta. The Bored character Alan standing at the register depressed and asking himself why he is still there.
In addition, Alan and Adam being two of the oldest characters in the series both rolling a nat 1 one on hope is just perfect. They have both been crushed so thoroughly by Rowen that neither one has any hope left.
12:52 “the 5 Ds of Dodgeball.. dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge!” 😂😂😂
Rowans short romance novel called 50 shades of hammers
I just want to say I love you guys and all you do I have watched every dnd episode and so many other skits I always forget to like but will always watch you guys
Sounds better than Greg's movie spin off. 50 Shades of Garlic
Boger needs to appear out of now where to give this bunch an inspiring speech abut his hammer. I imagine Rob is now deducting temp hit points by this time.
It is his rightfull hammer.
50 shades of rightfully mine
I adore these mini-campaigns. The halloween one was a banger.
I knew Rob was screwing around when he said.. "We are not playing in the dungeons and dragons, we are gonna be playing the Pathfinder system!"
Pathfinder 2e is an arguably better overall system than D&D5e, though.
@@thomasbecker9676 I agree 100%
As much as I love VLDL I think DnD has waaaaay too many rough edges and it drags everything else down. Weird rules and mechanics that rely heavily on house rulings and the DM fixing things on the fly.
Idk if Pathfinder is “better” in terms of output, story, and gameplay but I think it’s a better game system for sure.
@bbodyboi this explanation genuinely made me consider trying pathfinder someday after I handle being a decent DM in Dnd (newbie). I love the duality between: "Pathfinder is objectively better" and "heres what I think is wrong with Dnd, this is why I enjoy pathfinder" in this comment 😂
@@unteleportedbread3023 oooo how exciting! Good luck homie, I’m sure you’ll be a great DM in no time!
@@unteleportedbread3023 PF2e is crunchier, so it's not as easy to start as 5e, but in longer campaigns, it outshines 5e.
Of course, I still yearn for the days of 3e.
I just imagine the discussion at 21:00 being five piles of clothes and tiny voices yelling from each one
I love how rob has “gold shirt game master” under his name😂
Byron and rowan are both gone because byron is the one delivering rowan to fiji on his bike.
LOL I love this one so much. Sooooooooo chaotic :">
And Techstore Adam is being a experienced survivor is so perfect :">
Of course he rolled a one. He's sitting in Ben's chair.
Outragggeous!
Brynley can just turn on that evil manager persona like a switch. Impressive.
Now that it's out there, i feel like it's a good time to speculate on what had kept Alan at TechTown for so long. I'm guessing they have lax background checks and it was one of the few jobs that wouldn't dig up his career as an international jewel thief.
Rob should be consider a red shirt peasant because Rowan confuse him for one when he wore a red shirt
I wish they said at the beginning that the rest of the series is behind a paywall.
I wish too
It's the first line in the description but I understand
@@blufudgecrispyrice8528sadly, no description is shown when on YT mobile app
Ye.. thats sort of a scam if u ask me... I always thought these guys were like sincere and down to earth..and understanding... but as of latley... im not so sure anymore..they are actors..so they can show you what they want so to speak...
I’m a TH-cam monthly subscriber and a VLDL Patreon supporter. I do my watching on a smart tv. As far as I can tell it won’t let me navigate to the website. Also, the description text doesn’t show unless I drill down to it. So, I’ve watched one episode and now I’m out. Disappointing.
I love how much effort rob puts in anything dnd
Glad it shows!
nice to see, Alan's back in TechTown🤩
Number crunchy? No wonder our big axe welder isn't here lol 🤭
rob could do audiobooks. he does a good job with voices and telling the story.
I have! Just one for now and it's not released yet, but watch my platforms for when I announce it.
@@RobertHartleyGM awesome. thank you.
You got me with that Pathfinder joke. After Britt and Adam confidently declared their HP, I thought, "What, really? I was 100% sure it's a joke. Are you serious? But he said 9th level, no it couldn't be true, but... " 😅
And yes, the only thing I know about Pathfinder is it's more rules-heavy
That and the numbers are way higher and a ton of feats to remember.
Oooh, I like VLDL branching out into other TTRPG systems. If you ever start a Vampire: The Masquerade chronicle, sign me up! 🦇
"It's number crunchy..." Is that why Rowan and Ben aren't there, because they couldn't assure that they were up to the task? XD
Out of all the campaigns I have seen till now Adam is by far the best player. His gameplay is most entertaining and he studies his character well to come up with best strategies and combos.
Naaaah dude Ben seems to be always having a great time and typically engages with everyone ❤ to each their own but Ben and Batbob are wonderful
@@bbodyboi I like Ben and all of them, but I don't think they have full understanding of their character. They don't come up with out of the box solutions as often as Adam. Example Baradun creates a sexy dragon to lure away the dragon attacking them.
@@amit53shukla to each their own but tbh I hate uwu dragon and djeoph lol it’s easy to come up with out of the box solutions when you are a reality warping sorcerer haha
For anyone who enjoys this first episode but is still on the fence about Viva+, episode 2 is hilarious and the 3rd looks even more unhinged lol
Man I was so excited for another ttrpg series and then I find out its a preview for an exclusive show.
Rob: You see a bunch of cockroaches come out...
Me: (Singing) Welcome to Joe's appartment...
So crit is Hope == Fear even if both are 1. Ben would love this.
I’m really glad to see Brynley playing! I was hoping she would be in more skits and stuff!
Okay this was insanely fun! Loved Brynley. And hey - you all just described what you are wearing, so I have expectations for greenscreen! Especially Allan's outfit.
WOOOT BONUS EPISODES! Loved and still re-watching the Halloween episodes (honestly was so cool) and the video game with bobs mom
Loving the sound effects. (Especially the wobbly shelves around 9:06.)
Lmao, Adam literally in crisis over the D12 hope and fear dies.
These are so much fun. I wish I could join something like this one day. Too cool you guys film it for all of us
Brynley: oh oh i'll change
Me: DARN IT!!
I was actually hopping you were doing pathfinder lol I haven't actually seen PF2E played xD
whaaaat? soon we'll have a different show for every day on this channel
That would be nice! 😍
Wishful thinking lol
Adam is in the Ben position using a die Ben regularly uses. So he is going to be rolling well i take it.
I love love love you guys but I just can't with yet another subscription. Everything is a sub now. I'm tired, man. I wish you all the best but I think I'm going to tap out.
Agreed. I love these guys but I'm so tired of everything involving yet another subscription service.
I'm so happy to see Brynley here bc I really loved her in Taskmaster!!
You had one job, Ellie.... LOL!!!!!!
LOL I'd like to see Rob playing a TTRPG for a change. Adam appears to know what he's doing he could run the game. :D
Coming soon...
@@RobertHartleyGMOooooh!
Rob remembers the 5 Ds of dodgeball 😆 12:48
brynley and rowan shared the same braincells for being the horny party members in the bored games hahaha
Jokes on them, i have 2 mini knives in my work clothes/lunch box.
One of them looks like a great axe, with a smaller back blade as well, and the other one is the shape of a hatchet, i have also kept a chef knife shaped one in my wallet, before that was a mini boxcutter.
Also because of the size Rob gave, buttons are now the size of shields. So you could take a pants button for a metal round shield of decent size (bigger than a buckler)
This was a pleasant Friday surprise! I love the Bored TTRPGs glad to see you folks to more of 'em
Within the first minute Rob explains why Ben is not here as well. Appreciated that 👍
I like this system, easy to understand and pretty innovative.
wait, so we can't watch more of this one shot unless we pay for another website subscription? well, that sucks, i was looking forward to watching this one. fate doesn't favor the unemployed.
Or anyone who doesn't want another subscription. Wish I could see (not as in watch) the content before I subscribe at least so I know what I get.
@@M.Datura the beautiful thing about youtube is that it's free so anyone can watch it. i'm not saying they shouldn't start their own site, but they should think about all their fans, not just the fortunate.
@@breckingames5107 I was not disagreeing. Just supplementing. Don't need to be unemployed to not have the money for another subscription (and by "another" I'm referring to the amount of subscription services that exist rather than the amount any single person is subscribed to).
Hahaha when you said pathfinder I was like oh wow good for them
I wondered why no Rowan or Ben. It became clear when it was more number crunchy 😀and then I realised, I was messed with.
First of all, this is NOT trolling or sarcasm: I enjoy this channel WAY more than critical roll. I eventually stopped watching Critical Roll because I feel like I'm watching some cheesy Hollywood types play, yeah the acting is good, but the content sucks (In my opinion). This show has a great DM, decent acting, fantastic plot, interesting scenarios, a wide variety of game types, some serious stuff, and some that are heavy with comedy. This is just great entertainment, this is the kind of shit I can just keep watching forever.
I get excited they're doing Pathfinder. Then disappointment.
I ❤ the fact that most the girls constantley confirm the fact they dont watch the azarim campaign....😂😂😂
YAY Pathfinder system!!!
Actual character building and nerdy spreadsheets for your level progress!!!
God it's a shame what happened to DnD, removing racial traits and bonuses made every character way too similar.
I need a little bit of realism to make a universe feel real and a halfing being as strong as an orc without magic, items, or careful planning is just wrong to me.
I would probably have walked out of the theater if Frodo starting physically overpowering orcs in combat like the non-hobbit members of the fellowship.
Really need a vertical face down camera to show the table. Great fun!
Wait, they're doing a bored one-shot *without* Rowan? That's kind of outrageous.
"We are gonna be playing in the Pathfinder system, it's notorious for being a more number chrunchy"
Ah! Carry on then.
Rob's like a kindergarten teacher managing a class of pottymouths. :)
such an awesome idea for a one-shot! I can't wait to watch the rest on Viva Plus
Mark this campaign under: DOA (Dead On Arrival)
Rob: "We're not Critical Role."
Also Rob: "So anyway, we're playing Daggerheart."
Daggerheart is not Critical Role
Oh no, we can't let Rowan know Alan is back at work
Smaller people ... miniatures....have smaller bills. Paycut Bonanza!!!!!!😅😂
Your damn right, I'm watching this again even though I've joined the viva+ peasants 😎
"So they all created a level 9 Pathfinder character" ... Yeah, no way hahaha! Now I want to see a pathfinder game GM by Rob! But I don't think the guys/gal will enjoy the system as much, but since they're doing homebrew setting one can hope. Still happy to see more people playing more types of TTRPG, what Mork and Bork someday?
I GMed a 3-shot in Pathfinder already. Available on my channel.
@@RobertHartleyGM Niiice! Going!! Thank you!
Completely unbiased, but that was a flawless ultimate choice of hope dice on Adam's part
Everyone knows that cheese is the epitome of hope
Having just finished the Bored SciFi TTRPG yesterday for funsies, I can't help but wonder how many times Rob has watched "Dodgeball" 🤔
Attention: only this first episode is available without paywall.
I watched pretty much all of your content before. I noticed the increasingly aggressive merchandise and advertisements (even on Spotify!), but I was fine with it. It's free quality content and you guys need to make a living as well.
I draw the line in this case, though. I wouldn't have invested my time into an episode if I had known beforehand that the remaining content would be exclusive to yet another subscription.
[---> Correction edit: in the following text I mentioned that there was no hint to the series being exclusive to VivaPlus. That's not true as the description does contain a short information. However, it was misinterpreted by me and might be by others as it doesn't match the usual behaviour on VLDL D&D. I keep the old text below for context only and refer to the following discussion for further details.]
It's quite questionable that this is only mentioned at the very end of this episode. A simple "teaser" or "sample" would have been much more fair to your viewers. Very disappointing.
It was mentioned in the description. Luckily the rest of our content will always remain free here on TH-cam. We like to give people a chance to see our exclusive content by sharing the first episode, that way audiences are able to make up for themselves whether they'd like to pay to see more, or stick with the free content.
@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD Thank you for getting back to me. I checked again and yes, you're not wrong here. Sorry for that, I will update accordingly.
That being said, I have watched all of your campaigns and one-shots. So I'm quite used to your once-a-week, episode-by-episode schedule. When I read "Catch the rest of the series over on VivaPlus!" I understood it as "available von VivaPlus right now if you don't want to wait the usual release cycle". Hindsight makes this now more clear but I'm pretty certain that it's easy to fall into that trap. Especially as you've previously told us that you guys "stay on TH-cam".
Your clarification is therefore much appreciated.
As mentioned before: I love your content and watched most of it. But I find the current monthly fee for VivaPlus to be somewhat expensive compared to (or in addition to) bigger streaming providers. I like to think that I'm doing a small part by subscribing to both your channels, watching your content (and thus the ads) and making sure that I upvote most of the time.
However, I also feel that the amount of ads and marketing has increased recently and it's starting to get annoying:
- A noteworthy percentage of clips time is now ads (e.g., 20s of a 90s in the latest VLDL skit)
- DnD campaigns are getting interrupted inbetween for merch in addition to the parts at the end
- There are generic ads at the beginning of many podcast episodes on Spotify (which are not even targeting VLDL!)
All this in addition to TH-cam ads, which in the worst case can interrupt a 30-minute episode every 7-8 minutes for 30-40 seconds *sigh*
@@anoth3rTale nah it started with the aggressive ads. Then it was a 1 week thing. Now its this series being locked. In 3 months they'll have the last arc to the d and d campaign behind a pay wall right when it starts its final arc, thats almost guaranteed.
Sad corporate money tactics got to them.
@@anoth3rTale Back in the day, you got a folder in the mail that told you what movies would be shown on TV, at what time and on what channel. You had to wait for thát day of the week and thát time, turn to thát channel and watch thát movie. Every 25 to 30 minutes during the movie they would pause and run commercials, usually around 10 minutes or so of 10 to 15 second clips of different products. This was the time to get snacks and drinks and go to the toilet. If you had to pee outside this time window, you would have to: hold it, miss part of the movie or piss yourself. This commercial break is how the TV channel earned most of its revenue.
Just saying...
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD Well, I feel tricked. Who reads the description before watching the video?
Another thing... You expect everyone to be able to pay 5,- a month for every youtube channel they watch?
The premise of this game sounds so fun to play
I WANT Bob's dice!!!! lol with the bats
Adam is going to do terrible, he should have burned bens dice when he grabbed them and cut off his hand. This is the beginning of the end for baradun....
YEAAAAH LET GOOOOOO! I love these short stories
Wow, i didnt even put it together that Brynley was in Bored before! I've seen her in those skits before, but havent put it together until now!
Rob should wear the gold play tech shirt.
props to sound effects person!
i actually love this dnd channel so much that i just might subscribe to viva+
This is not good to say that the youtube content won't change then show videos that are basically only a teaser to the subscription service.
I love when they use the Techtown IP for DnD YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I'm disappointed i won't be able to watch the rest of the series.
HouseHold would be the perfect system for this
Oh wow. I do love the setup already ^^
Oh my god! Perfectly timed for the start of my weekend!
Third shifter?
So hyped for the rest of this one shot!!
I'm excited you're doing a homebrew based off Daggerheart, which is an interesting new system I've been following the development of.
I wonder if Rob will ever produce his one shot scenarios for fans to play one day
Probably!
Lol the start already chaotic
Brynley is THE GOAT
I'm beginning to suspect that Redshirt Adam likes getting pay cuts and being told that he's a naughty boy.
Well, at least there are plenty of free options out there. Natural Six, High Rollers, and etc... Good luck with pay to view model and thanks for the years of entertainment before this. Best of luck to you.
Our main campaigns and other one-shot will still be free on TH-cam. We have another FREE one shot coming soon.
I hope that one day they play a one shot with the Dread system. Which is essentially rather simple because it’s just a pull from the Janga tower. If it falls then the person who tries to pull a piece knocks the tower over dies.
I love Dread and have pitched the idea a few times...
Super bummed we get Ryoko instead of this. I would so much rather see this!
Thanks for teasing the real life peasants, could've just kept episode 1 on Viva+ and spared us the marketing tactics. 😅
So from what Alan said this was recorded before the Alan quits video!
Only at the beginning and already need to comment woohoo so excited Pathfinders going to be exposed! I am super curious if it's one or two considering he mentioned number crunchy would be probably more so on one, which is the system I'm more used to
LOL they got me good
I thought this was meant to be weekly? It’s been a month and we only have one episode.
Rowan isn't here because he's on his 8th vacation for the week. How'd he do it? We don't know.
