Hey could you not casually drop spoilers for adventure modules in your videos. It keeps happening and one of the people who have signed up for my game which hasn’t had it’s session zero has mentioned he saw this. Hell I’ve picked up adventure path spoilers from you and I am very suspicious of another player in a game, When it comes to his unexplained hostility towards certain people in dragon heist.
The drama is infectious. All of the players turned into shakesperean actors at the end. Also, i'm happy that the *gulp* guy from the media skit came back.
@@slamkam07 You clearly never played with people who can actually be the characters they portray. Jacob is exaggerating in this video, but damn I love when Pathfinder stops being a game and starts being a drama.
I have it where if you actually sing at the table, whether it’s good or bad, it’s a Nat 20 automatically. It’s scary putting yourself out there to sing like that so I reward people for being brave enough to do it.
I was able to avoid thinking it was talking about me, but then he pulled out a guitar, and I got flashbacks to the time I composed violin music on my computer for my D&D character to play (they weren’t even a bard, just a sorcerer with a fiddle)
If the guy playing the bard just straight-up improvised a song instrumentals and all right in front of my eyes, I would not be mad at him. Stripe shirt Jacob has no soul.
Honestly, I love players that do this. Not only does it let me know they're invested in the game, but that energy is contagious and a it gets the rest of the table excited, and leads to some great roleplay moments. I usually award bonuses for this.
idk, I've played with a couple people like this and they end up taking up 30 minutes to an hour of the session just doing their stuff. It should've only taken like 5-10 minutes. As a result 1/3 of the entire session was dedicated to them just in those moments, and it's only like 2-3 moments.
@@unknown_10453Sure it can slow down the session, but honestly the important thing is that they're having fun. When players go all in on the passionate roleplaying it makes me happy because a lot of the time from what I've seen in, non professional DnD groups, is just kinda static straight facing all the time time, and it tends to make the session a bit cut and dry. I do try to encourage my friend group to go ahead and do it because watching people be passionate about roleplay, something a lot of people who don't play tabletop believe to be very childish, gives me a large amount of joy.I know not everyone thinks like this, but that's just my take on the whole thing.
I mean... we're all just playing adult make believe with dragons for a few hours each week, right? Might as well let the situational emotions fly if you've still got them to feel.
@@slamkam07 I play in a table full of over dramatics (me included) and thats like 80% of the fun for all of us. No one needs "skill" to roleplay a character. It's a game, not a job. Let people have fun 🤣
Honestly, I'd love for a person at my table to have the confidence to be overly dramatic. Just as in the video, it's contagious. Just need that one that dives head first into character and we'd be doing the same thing in no time.
jacob: my players often compare me to you (we look sort of similar and act sort of similar as well), and have been feeding me your content for the past few years. we've been running rime of the frostmaiden for just shy of two years at this point, and this video absolutely sent me into the stratosphere. its a wonderful crossover between your world and mine, and i genuinely enjoyed this. keep being awesome
I just appreciate how Jacob has almost 3 quarters of a million followers and he did a skit with some shots out of focus and still uploaded it because he understands his audience couldn’t have cared less lol
I think this was legitimately your best Production skit yet. No fourth wall breaking for the most part, Not that that's a problem, Add extremely gripping. Dude this was a masterpiece
@3:35 I love how you had a reaction shot of just the dude's hair getting blown. Like there's a fan in the room that I can't hear because of good editing!
Maybe it's just because this feels familiar to my dumb/delightful players but this might be my favorite video you've ever done. I'm pretty sure it's the hardest I've laughed all year. I think the hair blowing slightly in the wind while you shouted "they found us!" was probably my favorite part though the weird bellow into initiative roll had me rolling too.
During a tense moment in one of my campaigns, it was revealed that my character and the character of a shy player were half-siblings. Without looking, I reached out my hand for them, and they grabbed it and squeezed it. It was one of my favorite moments in the whole campaign.
How to make a video that explains the epic feeling of taking the role seriously without having to say how it feels... better to feel it as if you were part of the story, incredible video, it made my hair stand on end remembering all those moments like that. I loved
Hahaha this I think is my favorite thing you've made, Jacob. It really connected with me and showed what I MOST love about playing rpg's with the homies. Also the end legitimately had me screaming with the characters
Another beautiful sketch, Jacob. I never thought one man band style DnD sketch comedy would be one of my favorite kinds of videos on TH-cam but you consistently hit such a high bar of quality and I enjoy every video that comes out of your channel. Keep up the great work Mr XP
The pacing of this video emulated exactly what happens in real life...the beginning was really annoying and I thought "oh no, is this Jacob's first lame video?" but then I started to crack a few smiles as the overdramatic characters were being cute...then by the end, I have goosebumps and am choked up and screaming right along with the characters. SO GOOD.
[4:57 - 5:39] DM: "That was really nice. Also, your song lasted 42 seconds, so divided by six seconds per round, that'll be seven rounds spent performing and taking no actions."
3:35 nice touch on the hair wind. His luxuriously cared for auburn locks blew carefree in the spring breeze, their delicious chestnut scent dispersed into the meadow like the forgotten whispers of yesteryear.
The wind blowing through the hair was the most subtle "oh my god my sides have been ejected into orbit" bit I've seen in a long time so thank you for that.
I've gotten so used to these skits that I've subconsciously started differentiating the Jacobs. To the point that I was surprised that two of them had the same d20-sword tattoo. I was only surprised for like 50 milliseconds, but still.
This is so us. I love the sessions where taking the couple of HP bars is second to actually playing the characters and experiencing the thrill of roleplay as a group. One deep dialogue between my Aasimar Sarenrae cleric and atheist barbarian about purpose in life meant for me more than actually fighting the demons in this game.
The best part is that the drama doesn't take away from the gameplay, it adds to it. At the very end, when they're all pushed off the edge, the one supporting ans pushing that narrativr still had a plan to save them. Sure, they could've just casually said they could do it, but this way, they all got swept in by the narrative.

Leave them alone Jacob, Jacob and Jacob are just having fun.
I'm on Jacob's side
Ngl Jacob kinda shined when Jacob almost fell but Jacob grabed him legendary
@@Saltinmente98Really? I think it's clear that Jacob did way better.

It is absolutely not infectious. It is cringey over-acting that rips you out of the world way too easily.

I know what you are referencing, but I forgot the name of the video - what video do you mean by "the media skit?"
If you’re playing a bard at my table and bring an actual instrument to perform with, I’m giving you inspiration.
I have it where if you actually sing at the table, whether it’s good or bad, it’s a Nat 20 automatically. It’s scary putting yourself out there to sing like that so I reward people for being brave enough to do it.
If I play a rouge and steal from your house do I also get inspiration?
No this would be so annoying to deal with at a table
@@flamevortexI’ll play a barb and break some things with you 😂
Wait until it actually happens to you
Overly dramatically yelling clearly game-y terms like die roll numbers will never not be the funniest thing to me.
How is that funny?
@@slamkam07 Humour is subjective.
@@slamkam07hooooly fuckin buzzkill
This is the opposite of every Barbarian asking the DM politely if they can rage.
@@slamkam07 It's the juxtaposition of acting as you would in character while discussing out of character concepts
"Skooma...like from Skyrim?" 😂😂😂 Fucking killed me
Dagoth ur: we got to cook skooma neravar
I have called the Tabaxi in my DnD group a Khajiit more times than I'd like to admit 😅
It was so good.
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!
A newbie DM I was playing with had skooma as a magic item that had a +15 to all stats.
"a turn is six seconds."
" :( "
and rule of cool is forever
The cheeky Feather Fall at the end was actually kinda epic
Ikr I cheered with them
Best spell (after Fireball)
"Cries out in pain!"
"I casted Silence"
"He cries out in silence!"
"Nice"
This is so accurate as a DM 11/10
He pulls out a piece of paper and writes AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH On it
@@mikeloeven "He also writes 'AAAAAAAAAAAAuuuuugggghhhhh...' as he falls to the ground, dead."
_Cries inwards in pain!_
I was able to avoid thinking it was talking about me, but then he pulled out a guitar, and I got flashbacks to the time I composed violin music on my computer for my D&D character to play (they weren’t even a bard, just a sorcerer with a fiddle)
That's awesome. Were you happy with how it turned out?
I don't know, I think that's kind of cool.
as a musician, I get it. we spend so much time learning it, we may as well
That's cool dude, honestly I (as the dm) love it when my players go super hard into rp
sorcerer with a fiddle. very cool idea
If the guy playing the bard just straight-up improvised a song instrumentals and all right in front of my eyes, I would not be mad at him. Stripe shirt Jacob has no soul.
He does! Watch til the end!
They all clapped.
Maybe if he did it for like 2 times a session, for 3 year straight, then you might.
I wouldn't mind the attempt if it sounded good and worked well. But if they mess it up it crashes every illusion the setting is supposed to support.
@@slamkam07 Just stop, dude. This is getting so pathetic, it's sad.
"THEY FOUND US!!!!"

Good. You should stop being like that.

I know its a skit but you actually have a really nice singing voice
Watch his other song videos, rogue with mobile feat, when the bard gets the last hit, etc.
Good singer
I thought the same but with his acting
It's great how there is a clear distinction between dramatic voice and "normal" voice, and it's clear when each player is converted.
Hes doing a little jig, a dance, a groove, a little prance
Loving the wisps of hair blowing from the "THEY FOUND USSS!!!" scream. 👍
3:31 The hair breeze as if your own loud voice was blowing it, killed me 10/10
Exactly the dramatic antics I would expect at a D&D table. 10/10 sketch
"Not looking good, and our fate is yet to be seen / I'mma cast Shatter, DC 14" is honestly pretty good.
At first I was surprised all the players could sing so well, but then I remembered they're all Jacob
I laughed very hard at this but I often have to remind myself it's just him yelling alone in his game room
That much drama is infectious and I would absolutely try and match it in my games
The hair blowing from "THEY FOUND UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS" was top tier. Nice hair btw.
4:45 I appreciate the Jojo poses.
I play at a table of actors. We're there for the dramatics 😅🤷♀️
"-cries out in silence" "nice" is such a good table joke.
THE WAY THAT ENDING ABSOLUTELY GOT ME HYPED. WE NEED TO SEE THIS PARTY AGAIN
I was NOT expecting to see this party again. This was hilarious.
Which video were they first in
@@jzh4805 Watch the "D&D in every popular tv show, movie, or internet series" video if you haven't.
The wind effect from the yell, "They found ussssss!!!" That was gold right there sir. Inspired.
WOOOO!!! I WAS NEAR TEARS AT THE TPK AND CHEERED OUT LOUD WHEN YOU SAID FEATHERFALL!!!
Bro, that transformation on 4:08. Pure hollywood essence

This is entirely why you have to all be on the same page about what kind of game you wanna play.
@3:35 I love how you had a reaction shot of just the dude's hair getting blown. Like there's a fan in the room that I can't hear because of good editing!
I as a DM am all here for the drama. MAKE ME CRY WITH BOTH JOY AND SADNESS, MY PLAYERS!
Jacob, you gotta drop a full shatter song now! That was incredible
People, give this person more recognition
It’s not like I ever don’t love Jacob’s stuff, but watching the party slowly connect was so much more genuine than I was expecting
3:34-3:37 The way his hair “billowed” from the scream killed me 💀
Now THAT'S my kind of dnd session! I love it when a party turns a by-the-book-campaign into something unique, beautiful and kinda cineastic. Awesome.
2:10 "Skooma, from skyrim?" This will forever be my favorite quote from Jacob. This quote is just the best
Maybe it's just because this feels familiar to my dumb/delightful players but this might be my favorite video you've ever done. I'm pretty sure it's the hardest I've laughed all year. I think the hair blowing slightly in the wind while you shouted "they found us!" was probably my favorite part though the weird bellow into initiative roll had me rolling too.
that bard casted shatter with a dc 14 save, if they're fighting the duegars they're like level 8 or so. man has a +1 cha as a bard, lets go.
Uh, technically it'd be a +3 to CHA since the DC starts at 8 🤓
During a tense moment in one of my campaigns, it was revealed that my character and the character of a shy player were half-siblings. Without looking, I reached out my hand for them, and they grabbed it and squeezed it. It was one of my favorite moments in the whole campaign.
I like how even the less dramatic players have to begrudgingly admit the song was good and applaud it

2:51 "I have to stain my hands with their blood?!..."
... said the murderhobo.
imagining you playing all the characters individually just adds an extra layer to this that made the the video even better
I feel like this is Jacob calling out his Players again, idk why
3:36 the wind in his hair as the other guy is screaming at him is a hilarious touch xD

The dramatics are so much of the joy of DnD lol
The fan work at 3:35 to Jacob 3’s screaming was top notch
I really...really wanna play with the dramatic pair.
The twist at the end really made it for me
"I use my reaction to cast feather fall"
🤓After he used his reaction to catch Olden!? 🤓
That was the other Jacob with the backwards cap.
I like how you can tell the DM prefers the dramatic playstyle from the beginning.
This was incredible and the party was great. The over theatrics is beautiful.
But what are Dwegar?
Duergar* Dwarves that live in the Underdark.
@@liumfekohar724They were clowning on how Jacob pronounces it.

1:05 sponsored segment ends
I'll take over dramatic players rather than under dramatic players any day of the week.
This is me, and I'm not sorry 💀
The best part of these videos is that the traits displayed, unless rude or detrimental, are portrayed as blessings rather than character flaws
[4:57 - 5:39]
DM: "That was really nice. Also, your song lasted 42 seconds, so divided by six seconds per round, that'll be seven rounds spent performing and taking no actions."
As someone who plays in a rp loving party, this shift from humorous acting to dramatic angsty dialogues is REAL
I would kill for moments like this in my campaign.
Some of the best moments in D&D are formed when players are being way too dramatic. Everyone gets a point of inspiration!
Jacob just casually coming in here and dropping probably his best song ever
love the plot twist at the end
It's super hard to sing good without any music, or even background sound. But god damn, Jacob did it! And well!
That original song you did was actually really nice, I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of original music arc from you, great video!
3:35 nice touch on the hair wind. His luxuriously cared for auburn locks blew carefree in the spring breeze, their delicious chestnut scent dispersed into the meadow like the forgotten whispers of yesteryear.
The hair effect at "they found ussssssss" was spot-on x') hilarious
4:48
I audibly shouted "GOD DAMNIT IT WAS A JOJO REFERENCE THE WHOLE TIME"
The hair blowing in the scream wind was such an incredible touch
3:34 I love that you can see a bit of Jacob's hair blowing in the wind as he gets yelled at.
That was an awesome moment. I love doing this myself and when players having fun roleplaying at my table.
The edge of the tower goes hard though
The wind blowing through the hair was the most subtle "oh my god my sides have been ejected into orbit" bit I've seen in a long time so thank you for that.
I've gotten so used to these skits that I've subconsciously started differentiating the Jacobs.
To the point that I was surprised that two of them had the same d20-sword tattoo. I was only surprised for like 50 milliseconds, but still.
Genuinely made me tear up a little there lmao. Great skit, really funny! Enjoyed it

the wind thru Jacob's hair when Jacob yells 😂😂😂
The “he is silenced” bit kills me! I have player that does stuff like that all the time.
Love how the players themselves had character development throughout this video and the party truly comes together at the end 😂
exact opposite for my players. one of them's mother got beheaded right in front of him and he was just like "oh no mom's dead"

“I pull out my lute”
(Pulls out a guitar)
Im pretty much guilty. And I don’t feel ashamed.
I can only imagine that filming this was an exhausting couple of hours...
Especially with my barbarian I described my moves this way, much more fun than "I attack four times and end my turn."
