I'll tell you when I'm tired.
I'm tired.
Never change Ophelia
1:06:40 for future reference
"Shopping....Browsing...pitying "
She was so real for this.
High rollers went from managing entire naval forces in space to camp management and I’m here for it. Mark is a legend.
Is that up on he podcasts?
I discovered this channel with the Baldur's Gate 3 one-shot and I fell in love with Mark's DMing and then with the cast. I don't have the time to catch up on the previous campaigns, but be sure I'm gonna follow this one to the end !
Also, I love the fact that Mark takes from other systems as inspiration for homebrew rules that bring more to the narrative with the travel rules, the Devil's Bargain and the crucible dice.
Keep up the great entertainment !
@LordCafeine You might already be doing this, but just in case. If you want to see more of Mark (and some of the others) DMing, it's worth checking out their short campaigns and one shots. Lots of fun, without the heftier commitment of their main campaigns. You'll also see prototypes of some of the homebrew rules Mark uses in Altheya: The Dragon Empire, it's quite neat to see them evolve.
I'd recommend Rogue's Gambit (12 eps) for sheer chaotic heist shenanigans in Waterdeep, and the Lord of the Rings (2 eps) if you're a Tolkein lover. They've done a lot of one shots but some of my favs so far are; Dungeon of the Mad Mark! (a meat grinder dungeon escape, which is a good intro to various characters that the cast play), Darkest Before Dawn (Kim DMs various horror one shots), and Purs of Strahd (a cute 1980s small town investigation with some scooby-doo & stranger things vibes).🐈⬛
The podcast are brilliant and a easy way to catch up so you can listen and go on with your day. I implore you to watch or listen to campaign 2. And Light Fall was when i started Mark is my favorite dm
@@joshiroplaygames4070 I'm listening to the podcasts and/or videos while I'm working and commuting so I might just give campaign 2 a listen if I have the time !
@@library2952 Thanks for the recommandations ! I will take the time to listen to some of them for sure.
@@LordCafeine Honestly, campagin 2 is one of the best pieces of media i have ever consumed. Well worth the time to enjoy this epic journey.
Also ... ONE OF US; ONE OF US !
"This is some real D&D shit" IT IS, MARK, AND I AM HERE FOR IT
the realest
I got so excited when Ophelia bought the sunglasses. Its probably because she's a dhampir and the sun is bothering her, buut i like to believe that Rhi is going full Alucard.
(From Hellsing, not Castlevania.)
@ProstyProtos I hope it's abridged.
@@ProstyProtos I can see both happening
She's going for a very enthusiastic walk.
I have a desperate need for that Bing Bong shirt #justiceforbingbong
Who doesn't love a full 3 hours of pure entertainment! Love these guys... who doesn't?
you'd be surprised by the amount of grumpiness in the comments
@@itsflowersideI knowww you'd have thought I'd have learnt my lesson to stop reading comments on these episodes by now

Very cool that Tom unknowingly chose the spells he gained at level 3 by choosing a body part.
Hey High rollers. A couple of weeks ago, when I finished playing Bardur's Gate 3, I was introduced to your channel for the bd3 campaign. I was immediately impressed by Mark's style as a DM. I am now trying to catch up your new campaign and be impressed again by you all. Soooo brilliant your role-playing. Now I am about to start my first dnd campaign as a Newbie DM. Wish you all good.
I loooove all the camp stuff and the logistics. Also the fanart is incredible holy shit - Ophelia is clearly a favourite
Awe reminds me of when Sentry was learning to cook.
Whenever I hear Rowan charging in am like "you got this bard bro!"
Matt's DMing is on another level this season. First the Crucible and then Zantheus' subclass RP pick about his flaw. Love it! I think these are fun ways to keep things fresh for experienced players.
Zantheus and Ophelia's conversation was also fantastic. The tension, the subtle manipulation by Zantheus (which I love!! He's so shifty about his past and I am here to see how that develops), Ophelia hearing his heartbeat and I think she was practically shaking from the hunger. Great roleplay.
I cant wait for the moment we get ophelia licking blood of the floor after a fight, just like bing bong would have wanted XD
Every bodies face when the said “it makes me hungry” at 1:58:26 hahaha (apart from mark’s exceptional dm poker face, of course)
Just want to say how incredible everyone's fan art is!! From the monochrome sketches to the digital scenes to the animations, you are all AMAZING!! And one more thank you - to the High Rollers for creating characters that we can fall in love with. ❤️
Just wanted to thank High Rollers. You have re-ignited my passion for D’n’D (played for several years, vas a DM for 15 years, but career took precedence), now I’m starting a new campaign with 5 other friends, and I couldn’t be more excited. Much love from Denmark. PS Ophelia is awesome!
Åh... DENMARK REPRESENT!
'Ophelia will clean it' incredible image 😂
"You hear a faint giggling on the wind... KEKEKEKEKE!"
I'd love to see the 'camp comfort level' mechanic worked into Baldurs Gate, that'd be an excellent feature.
I love this show and this channel and these delightful nerds
I really enjoy watching High Rollers with Chris Trott and his friends
Loved the stream and loving that I get to watch it again, keep it up guys, especially trott and rhee, I’ve got to say that you guys are smashing it with the new characters 🎉
Me, a southern American, listening to this brit at 51:23 sound just like some people I know. 😎👍
I watched all the episodes for this campaign so far and went back to watch the 2nd campaign. Wow what a difference don't get me wrong still great content. However this campaign looks and feels much more improved, awesome job and thanks for the entertainment!
I really appreciate Mark and the players calling out the problem of teen suicide. It's a problem in too many families.
Rhiannon Frost is so damn charming! :D Her laugh is everything!
So if Ophelia's parents provided livestock for the Haus of Blood, does that mean they WORKED??? Or did they only supervise a bunch of Percivals? Or is she like the child of a peasant who was able to move up to no longer have to work and just doesn't know that only aristocrats are "favored by the Grey Father" to have a life of luxury and all the others work during their lives and after their deaths? I want to know more about this culture and what is considered work vs hobby, like sewing is certainly work and can be terribly hard if you are in a sweatshop or even in a situation where you are just a seamstress cutting and sewing all day or merely mending clothes all day, but if you love creating beautiful clothing and seeing it on people it may feel like creating art. There are things that the living dead could certainly do with orders, but I don't see how they could design new creations of art or clothing or scientific discovery which can all be fulfilling but require a lot of work and training to do.
I feel like Daisy is very much inspired by The Stormlight Archives books. I mean, a red haired girl that likes to draw and has a bond with a being that grants her power and is slowing recovering his memory because of the bond? That is literraly a Knight and Spren pact. And a "Radiant" blade to top it off.
I didn't think of it in those terms but I like it!
she's blonde not red-haired tho
Watched Live! Leaving a good comment for the algorithm. Awesome, fun episode.
I'm thinking that I definitely have a type. With Aerois, my favorite character was Ayla. Now, definitely Ophelia. Possible Xena obsession making itself known.
Katie doing a Sam Riegel 🤣
love you all so much, mark you are amazing.
Love seeing you guys doing so well with the channel and growing so much. Favorite way to end the day is listen to your campaign vids.
It's kinda dark, but I'm a bit disappointed you didn't name the episode "shots from the grassy gnolls" or something. Maybe that's too American of a reference though.
Bing Bong is actually canon, Shadowheart references an funny imp in the new epilogue.
Katie is wearing a bing bong shirt.
Gaaaah the cliffhanger why must yall hurt me this way 😭
51:50 , 53:00 Shopping episodes are always Goated

I need to learn to stop reading the comments of these videos, I love you guys and most of the community but I've found a surprising number of the dnd community as a whole are surprisingly toxic, and unfortunately it isn't separate here.
Love the story so far though!!
Flee Mortals is great, I got to read it more thoroughly and either use its version of monsters for my current campaign or any new one I might start.
Ophelia be like: “Anything you want to tell me”
What I hear:
Dumbledore: “Is there anything you wish to tell me?”
the xantheus stuff at the end of #4 kinda reminds me of karlach's infernal engine? i know tom's made a couple video game jokes/bg3 mechanic references throughout the campaign, i wonder if thats part of xan's secret past
It also reminds me of the dark urge
@yimyam7615 oh I haven't played that through yet so I'm mainly spoiler free on that. Hope to connect the dots soon
I could watch an entire video of Rowan shopping
I take offense to Mark's southern accent in the general store... mostly because it's accurate and I wish it wasn't.
congrats on the independence! :)
I'm enjoying the Forrest Gump dwarven retail helper :D
So jealous that Mark has a natural UK accent and can also do a near-flawless US accent
The self controll of ordering and buying food and not having snacks in person
I wanna get internet famous to I can play d&d with these lovely souls
Top nerds here. 10/10.
Soulknife Rogue???? Yessssssss! I've never seen my favorite Rogue subclasses in a major stream before!
it's not a major stream, but the Mistletoe campaign by joefudge has a soulknife rogue, and mark is apart of the cast!
Last episode the gang got a level up. Were we supposed to know how that went down? Or are we learning the sub classes as we go? Did I miss a part?
Mark mentioned a preference for it to be revealed organically through story. You haven't missed anything, they'll just get to it when they get to it. :)
So I'm slightly confused about the split... are any of the High Rollers no longer Yogscast members? Or is it more of a same staff, separate finances/operations deal?
From my understanding, the only people who are part of a Yogs is Kim, Trott, and Tom. Mark was a "content creator" like Trott and Kim but I assume his content is only HR which means he has left the Yogs officially.
Tom is an editor, and then Kim and Trott remain as content creators for the yogs
I think all it means is Yogs no longer get any cut from HR and HR gets no aid (hosting HR streams, finance) from Yogs
BING BONG !!!
BING BONG
I imagine daisy to look like Kenny from south park whilst wearing that blanket :D
Rowan's got charm 😎
2:16:00 so... Gnolls on the menu then for Ophelia? :P
I think i need a man named ragnar to bring me a big comfy blanket
RHI FOR THE VIBES
So...this world has wrap-around shades but hasn't invented a bell you can hang above a door?
They must have heard stories of an imp who was employed as a door bell. Who went travelling with explorers never to return again.
@@jamesmnaylor Exactly. Because of this door bells have a bad reputation in Altheya.
The last episode Mark said he didnt only have to use the fate dice negatively against the players and while i think thats good to stop a player vs DM mentality I don't that's how they should be used, especially with the flavour of the system. It makes sense that they have the fate on their side sometimes (when the players use it) and sometimes fate is against them (when the DM uses it)
where abouts do you get your miniatures from? I am looking to get some but can't find a good place
I think they may be from Hero Forge.
❤❤❤ Hearts for the stream, and now for the record of it. Would record be fit term to use? Oh still ❤❤❤!
congrats on becoming indepdent
cool
Am I crazy or is it weird to ask someone for trust? Then, when they ask you for trust, you say "nah I'm good"?
Bookmark: 2:01:00
1:10:30 This whole section I swear, these guys always get me to die laughing, haven't done that in a while
Just watched Mark’s twitch stream about the MCDM RPG and you really can just see people deflate when they miss 😫 Can’t wait for no attack roll.
typhene (?) is fucking awesome
I've been wondering of Tom's characters last name sounds like Oregon (the US state) Ore gone is how its pronounced.
Congrats on going Independent!
52:25 how many hands are your feet 😂
oh gnoll really shouldve been the title lmao
Is Mark a secret Texan?
... Is this hardcore dnd😅.. fun to watch but it straight up seem scary, specially earlier game
It's the third campaign they are LOCKED IN
Can you buy Rhi's high rollers xmas jumper anywhere? 👀
Not any more. The merch store had to close. There are no current plans to re-open it at this stage.
@@Crispi1260 Ah that's a bit sad 😥I definitely support my peeps given the chance, and merch in return would be a gift from the gods 🙏
As an American I always forget you guys are not. Until Mark does that accent.
Marks American southern accent hahaha
I'm loving everything about this campaign except for that pronunciation of Tiefling, it's just wrong to my ears. Love the game though!
there's a reason for it, if you'd watched the episode
@@itsflowerside I did, still sounds wrong.
Tiefene (spelling?) is a lovely story but I kind of like the lineage of tief "low, deep" which is German and has it's own proper pronunciation.
I used to pronounce it tie-fling before I knew what the word was. So it isn't exactly a fun reminder for me.
Then again I wasn't very fond of the way they pronounced genasi in Aerois either and I learned to tolerate that too.
@@MorinehtarTheBlue It's there and I get it, but I don't have to enjoy it. It just feels like he changed it just to be different which is not a good reason in my opinion. Not saying the show is bad or anything, just that I have a thing with purposefully mispronouncing words.
@@aaronapley258 I'm kind of confused at your response honestly. Seeing as what I said was that it was pretty but not compelling.
I'm not trying to persuade you that your wrong because I am in fact agreeing with you.
Yarrow is the Old Men from Hellsreach, isnt he?
Some free and probably superfluous advice: Shopping episodes (and for me > 30 minutes of shopping qualifies as such) can be pulled off by only a few streams (and even CR shopping episodes bore me unless Pumat Sol is involved). Fantasy is a form of escapism; shopping is what we do every week.
This is probably the wrong place to post this but whatever, I'm so fascinated by the different trajectories of roosterteeth and the yogs. The americans centralised and grew and competed while the yogscast seems to be spreading out into a larger and looser connection of friendships that spans half the content creators in england. My favourite empire in history is the british empire, because you can tell a man's-(archaic, gender neutral) quality by the way they die, and when the time came the british let everything go instead of trying to cling on in an endless series of civil wars to reclaim the fallen glory. When rooster teeths budget got tight it imploded but I don't see the yogscast leaving a trail of destruction even if it goes broke tomorrow, anyway I guess I'm in a wierd mood but this is my Contemplation on Death and Glory.
i hope play warhammer role-play
They’ve already done one,earlier in the year I think
Is Tom a coffeelock
first lole
what do you mean commander shepard is a woman
Loves these guys but episode starts at 1:04:00 :(
Im sorry?
@@yimyam7615they're talking about the shopping
Eh, campaign seems off to me. Not sure how to express it. Anyone else or just me?
it's been 5 episodes, give it a chance? the story has literally barely started
It's definitely stepped down several notches, but I feel that makes sense as we've just come from the ridiculously epic level 20 stuff.
Introducing new characters like this will just have to take time tbh. Now they're out of Tutorial Town I'm sure it'll pick up!
