Trott is a great DM Support. He takes the lead when everyone else is silent and passes ideas on to them, or just recuses himself from the action, which subtly tells everyone else it's *their* turn now, do something pls.
Brett Symons oh Keyleth... I love her, but she was quite irrational at times. Beau is also great, and I’m thankfully she’s not as rash. I love Marisha, thanks for the insightful comment. That was something I didn’t really notice. Travis is also a great help as he makes sure others are listening as well as being quite attentive (even if Fjord can be fjorgetful at times)
@@Badartist888 I feel like at the very beginning of CR Campaign 1, it was Taleisin that directed the group a bit, as he had ultimately the most tabletop experience there, besides Matt. Though, he did it in significantly more subtle ways.
Coming back to this...I have come to love his current unknowing troll method of ending a narration with "Umm..." as if he has more to say, but that's it. Still cracks me up!
starting in a dungeon is a good way to make sure the characters are working together and bonding in the first session, otherwise they have no reason to meet/stay together.
Rewatching on third of February 2018. Observations: 1 - Since when was Mark’s hair so short? 2 - Trott still has his Lego hair. 3 - I didn’t even notice the change in Jiutou’s voice in later episodes. 4 - Elora without Wildshape. She actually uses Shillelagh! 5 - All of them seem so nervous about RPing on camera. Strange to see how far they’ve come. 6 - I forgot how cool this starting dungeon was! 7 - We never saw the end of that puzzle with the stars and the levers. :-( 8 - It’s mad how big this has gotten! Tiny acorns, and all that... 9 - Mark’s making small mistakes on the rules side of DMing, ones which he - and I - learned from. 10 - This is conjuring up some great memories of watching the early episodes live in my room with some good food. Thank you all for starting this and seriously getting me into D&D. I wouldn’t have watched critical Role without this, I wouldn’t have started a campaign at high school without this, and I wouldn’t have met my first new friend at college without this. Thank you so much.
Trott: "I'm Cam Buckland... I don't give a Fuckland!" Kim: "D...Does that normally work, do Humans find that funny?" Trott: "Yeah, it... it usually works..." ...LATER THAT GAME... Trott: "What's your name by the way?" Matt: "Trellimar" Trott: "Ah nice! I'm Cam Buckland" *Puts hand out* Matt: "I don't give a fuckland, Cam Buckland." Kim: *Big smile and laugh* I like to imagine that the Tiefling found it funny when the Drow said it back at him as well, not just that Kim's still laughing at it.
+Force2Reckon Man... What an age we live in. You no longer need to watch a video. Just find that one guy that makes a summary of it all. There's always one in the comments.
this guy is an excellent DM. To be honest i haven't gotten to play an actual game yet myself, due to a lack of people who want to play with me. I have however watched many many streams and VODs of people playing, and so far this guy is the best i've seen. Somewhat adheres to the rules, while still being great at knowing when to let them slip for the fun factor, and also being quite descriptive, while not going overboard. Good at suggestion to keep the party moving, while not railroading them. He's even great at knowing when to shut up and let the party have fun with inter party interaction, and when to interject to keep them from spinning in circles. Well done mate, well done. Hands down my fave d&d VOD.
I have to back Branden Leemings suggestion of Matt Mercer. Critical Role is one of the best DnD campaigns I've ever watched. It's a group of incredibly talented voice actors who have been playing a campaign for about 5 years now. They play every Thursday night at 7PM PST at twitch.tv/geekandsundry. Vods can be found on the Geek and Sundry website at geekandsundry.com/shows/critical-role/

Starting out for the first time. Gotta catch up but its pretty daunting knowing how many hours there are. I love it so far tho and wanna get into DnD myself now.
Came here from Critical Role's Ep. 21 and adding this entire campaign to a new playlist, wish me(and others?) luck on this adventure we are very late to!!
I'm so excited for some real D&D 5e on this channel! We've seen some pretty spectacular journeys and cosplays in Yogquest, but now we get to see some REAL d&d :P
+Cytrillex BagelsMan There are alot of channels with D&D content on. Critical role is one, Dawnforged cast is another. It's easy to find if you look for it!
Just saw Mark on Critical Role so decided to check this out, and how did I not know about this sooner!?!? Kim's in it and I used to watch her videos a bunch! Uggggggh well there goes all my free time watching this first campaign.
If my math is correct, as of episode 49, high rollers has 194 hours, 44 minutes, and 41 seconds of actual gameplay (including non-canonical one-offs and stuff). That's roughly 8 days (straight). Good luck to those of you catching up. (And props to those of you that have.)
Well fantastic!! After watching Mark on Critical Role, I'm super excited to have a new D&D show to watch. LOVING what I've seen so far - great DM, super engaged players, and a cool setting. lol now to settle in for the next two years worth of shows....my god...I have so much catching up to do...what have I gotten myself into....
rewatching it from the beginning in anticipation for elora's storyline, it's so amazing to see how far everyone has come, through confidence and roleplaying and comfortableness being on screen and the character development! THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!
So you're a fellow critter then. Wasn't last night/ this morning's episode awesome. Critical Role was the show that got me back into D&D, still not sure if that's a blessing or a curse LOL. sighned Wolfbaine3 AKA peter Calcutt
Peter Calcutt I wasn´t abel to see everything because in my time zone it passes at 3 am and I had a apointement in the morning, but what I saw was amazing I was a little worried ffor Liam at first but he did great, not only that it was great to see the new side of the players as they adapted to diferent character and roles in the group. On other note I know this would be impossible, but I would have loved to see Scanlan and Obby interacting it would be hilarious and while we are at it Grog and Tarvis ( the really inteligent guy, babysiting the idiot, a sorta kraven edge situation) and Deva and Vex with Deva acumulating a ton of debt but puting it in Vex name and her having a small aneurism when the rest of the group forces her to pay because they need Deva for some reason or other.
Sounds to me like you are another mad Brit, just like me. well maybe slightly less mad since i got up t watch it at 3 am and do every week. your ideas for character clashes are awesome.
+Yogscast Live I really should have recorded my reaction when I realised you replied! So happy! This is the video that got me into D&D and I'm glad it did! Thanks!
I just finished bingewatching the third campaign, Althea the dragon empire. Next episode comes out tomorrow. But I NEED MORE! So I want back to watch their preciously campaign. I cannot get over how tiny they all look. xD So tiny and innocent xD This is gonna be awesome! :D:D:D
Big fan of high rollers, decided to ease my thirst for their adventures by watching Lightfall. what a treat. and omg they all look so different and so cute!
Killua Zoldyck while there aren’t that many episodes of it compared to this I recommend Outsidexbox and their d and d series as I found that quite funny and laid back
I spent what little free time i have nonstop watching highrollers, then I caught up so I subscribed to twitch so I didn't have to wait for the latest vod to be uploaded. Now I'm suffering withdrawal since Highrollers was the only thing I've watched for weeks. So here I am ready to do it all again!
I discovered this group in Aerois and after catching up, thought I’d give their other campaigns a listening to. So far, loving the characters, and during the break, that “Diggy Diggy Hole” really caught me off guard, but I was not disappointed 😅
It's silly how much I adore this show. Just came back and remembered that I felt exactly as confused as everyone here when I started watching, having little to no idea what D&D was at the time. Love these guys!
Just getting round to watching High Rollers. I was going to start S3 but thought I'd better go from the beginning. Only 8 years of D&D to watch... see you on the other side... *clicks play*
my grandma passed last night... now its 3 am.. and still cant sleep. so i came back too my safe place.. too find comfort.. and hopefully some sleep... ty Trott Katie Kim Matt Tom and Mark. this play list.. i swear i have watched the first 30-40 episodes 5-10 times by now some even more. u give me so much comfort. through rough times. from all of my heart thank you.
Me: *decides to watch these after Mark's guest spot on Critical Role* This playlist: *goes on for days* Well then, I know what I'm going to be doing in my free time.
Interesting. Kim and I have characters of the same race. (I play a Tiefling Warlock by the name of Eramanth, but his friends call him Eram.) And Critical Role is actually what sparked my interest in D&D. Side note: Technically, Jiutou could have simply cut through them (probably easier than how Cam did it), because Tieflings naturally have claws, courtesy of their demonic heritage.
+Damon Fyrian Looking at the handbook for 5e it doesn't appear Tieflings get anything related to having claws. Given I am sure a DM could adjust that for their own players.
PurpleAlzir It doesn't say in the handbook, it's in the flavor text for their race if you look up the race specifically (not to mention every Tiefling mini I've seen to date has had claws of some form or fashion).
PurpleAlzir But she has two (possibly three, including the DM) veterans at the table. So she has help. It's ultimately up to her and the DM, though, because not *every* Tiefling has claws long enough to be usable.
Ive watched every episode of Crit Role and the Unexpectables that is currently out and I missed the days of binging DnD vids of one campaign. Those days have returned. And by the gods have they returned with a dynamic entry teifling.
Came over because of something Matt mentioned and I have to say I'm really Impressed by both the DM/GM and the players. Having watched some of the other yogs stuff and not really finding it interesting this is really well put together. Kudos to you sir
Yeahhhh. I’m watching the entire light fall campaign again after like 4-5 years. Now I have to deal with the heartbreak of Matt/Trell leaving after episode 40 😢
Here Feb 7th, 2024. High Rollers just celebrated their 8th anniversary, and is on the 10th episode of their 3rd campaign. Excited to rewatch from the beginning!
I love this show. Several months ago, I was looking for something to watch and I remembered Martyn talking about playing dnd. So, I looked up "Yogscast dungeons and dragons" and found this show. Now, I'm all the way caught up, and am watching three dnd shows- This one, the #wafflecrew (Dice, Camera, Action), and I'm 29 episodes in to Critical Role. I love it and I'm so thankful that you guys started this. It's gotten me closer to my friends and has sparked my imagination again.
This is what I wanted from the Yogsquests. While they're funny, they're too linear. Throw out all of that fancy decor and just play some dnd. Nothing beats the "I'll just set up a camp right away" moments from their dnd podcasts.
I'm glad they have this going now! I feel like Yogsquest is more of an ad lib comedy adventure movie in the sense that even though it's d&d you kinda know they'll succeed in the end, but that doesn't ruin the fact that there's a ton of hilarious improv from the characters that flows off of a d&d style roll based system. Yogsquests are more wild, while this was very gripping. Both are super awesome in my opinion! Two different approaches 😄
+VengD Don't forget the epic battle between Lewis' Warforged and a weak goblin, where every turn they would lash out at each other and miss for like a solid 10 minutes,
literally just finished catching up to this series yesterday, and haven't been able to find a d&d series as good as this one.... sooooo, I'm rewatching it :3
I should be cleaning my house but this is so much better. I've never played or really watched dnd before. It's nice to see it from the beginning and learn a little bit about it all. This makes the idea of me joining in at my local bar's dnd night a little less frightening. Please keep this around it's great!
Surprised they didn't figure out the puzzle. They were supposed to pull the torches down in order with the gold markings on the ground. Ie: Left, right, left, left from Mark's pov
+Kiero Vance™ (Kyrobolt) When they pulled the first two correctly, Mark said it clicked, when they pulled them both at the same time he said it clicked differently, which would mean they did it wrong and the mechanism reset. Mark also said the gold paint was probably put there for a reason and it was the only other thing in the room
+Colby Shepherd They could put YogsQuest on there as well, but I don't think that there's enough content to justify making a whole new channel. A playlist on the other hand, that'd be nice if they haven't already done it.
+thmsbarber when ever i hear it i think of that guy you called mirack from that one game about dragons you know with tooes heroes that that are called like dragondrawn or someting
I am starting Lightfall THIS MOMENT, I have never watched before, I came here after all of Aerois and what there currently is of Altheya, and I am so excited! See you all on the other side!
A couple months too late for this but damn, Mark Hulmes is a great DM. I thought he was good in the Hat Films Star Wars roleplay but he's turned it up to 11 for this series and it's fucking awesome.
wow, this is great. I am always on the search for RPG shows, having fell upon Critical Role by accident, and binging every episode (which took a loooooong time). I was currently watching the Dice Camera Action: Curse of Strahd DnD campaign run by Chris Perkins (trying to fill the showhole left while I wait for the next ep of Critical Role to come out) when I stumbled onto this. Apparently the DM here made a guest appearance on On Dice Camera Action as a PC for an episode. Anyway, here we go! Great so far! :)
4/1/2021 - starting my journey here. I'm a CR addict and needed more D&D... obviously Mark is great and since he was on CR I decided to give this a go. Hello crazy Rollers! (or whatever you're called)
why didn't you make it a 6... cause then it could be any combination of "out of 1'insert 0's'" sooo.... like 666/1000... for example... then we can confirm trott is satan... now, lemme ask you this... 666/1000 is 2666 less than 3333... so.. confirming my suspisions... the number 3333 has 3 "3's" in it... thereby confirming trott is illuminati
Woah weary travelers, I am here to give all those taking the trek through Lightfall 6-7ish years after it came out guidance so you don't have to search through hundreds of comments from years ago to find the break BREAK: 1:53:17
Trott is a great DM Support. He takes the lead when everyone else is silent and passes ideas on to them, or just recuses himself from the action, which subtly tells everyone else it's *their* turn now, do something pls.
Brett Symons oh Keyleth... I love her, but she was quite irrational at times. Beau is also great, and I’m thankfully she’s not as rash. I love Marisha, thanks for the insightful comment. That was something I didn’t really notice. Travis is also a great help as he makes sure others are listening as well as being quite attentive (even if Fjord can be fjorgetful at times)
Yes, Trott is amazing! In this campaign and every one to follow I know he is and will be awesome! He plays his characters so well!
@@Badartist888 I feel like at the very beginning of CR Campaign 1, it was Taleisin that directed the group a bit, as he had ultimately the most tabletop experience there, besides Matt. Though, he did it in significantly more subtle ways.
Coming back to this...I have come to love his current unknowing troll method of ending a narration with "Umm..." as if he has more to say, but that's it. Still cracks me up!
I love the juxtaposition of Trot being really nice and helping Kim learn the game, and then in game her character super disliking him, lol.
+Vrikrar i like kims character.

So do I.
+Vrikrar i had to look up juxtaposition and i feel very dumb.
+Ben W. M. What is it
Ben W. M.
I wouldn't, it's a weird word, lol.
Real quick, I'd just like to express how much I appreciate Mark for not starting this in a tavern.
starting in a dungeon is a good way to make sure the characters are working together and bonding in the first session, otherwise they have no reason to meet/stay together.
I started my homebrew session at sea on a boat
Being honest I was DMing a party of 1 sometimes 2 the other player is inconsistent with showing up
Classics are classic for a reason....
@@Lenny-ue8hk I started my first session at Ram Ranch!
It’s June 7th, 2020. I am just starting my journey on this series. I am so excited.
Aye! June 18th here! My life was starting to feel empty since I caught up on Critical Role. Figured this was the closest show to it
Nice! I got to March 2017 ish then I just ran out of time and kinda forgot about it, so I’m starting from the beginning!!
11/27/2020 caught up with crit role so starting this
12/3/2020. Starting my time with high rollers
5th of December 2020
Rewatching on third of February 2018. Observations:
1 - Since when was Mark’s hair so short?
2 - Trott still has his Lego hair.
3 - I didn’t even notice the change in Jiutou’s voice in later episodes.
4 - Elora without Wildshape. She actually uses Shillelagh!
5 - All of them seem so nervous about RPing on camera. Strange to see how far they’ve come.

Trott: "I'm Cam Buckland... I don't give a Fuckland!"
Kim: "D...Does that normally work, do Humans find that funny?"
Trott: "Yeah, it... it usually works..."
...LATER THAT GAME...
Trott: "What's your name by the way?"
Matt: "Trellimar"
Trott: "Ah nice! I'm Cam Buckland" *Puts hand out*
Matt: "I don't give a fuckland, Cam Buckland."
Kim: *Big smile and laugh*
I like to imagine that the Tiefling found it funny when the Drow said it back at him as well, not just that Kim's still laughing at it.
Gimme a stealth check.
"It's a 4!"
I just see him going into the room shouting
"Dagger! DAAAAGGER! WHERE ARE YOU!"
"You can see this writhing mass, like a heart of vines"
Are they thorny vines? Could it be, saaaaay, a Heart of Thorns?
Matt steals the Urns and not the Potions...

rewatching it from the beginning in anticipation for elora's storyline, it's so amazing to see how far everyone has come, through confidence and roleplaying and comfortableness being on screen and the character development! THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!
Just learned of this today... Glad I have 9 months to listen to!
Same
Yup haha
Woo catching up
Just coming back after having watched them since they started (feels like forever!) and thinking about rewatching.
Oh, I have a year and three months to listen to
Oh my god D&D is taking over my life
Same
If your looking for one more DnD searies to fill up your week go to geek and sundry and take a gander at critical role rpg show.
So you're a fellow critter then. Wasn't last night/ this morning's episode awesome. Critical Role was the show that got me back into D&D, still not sure if that's a blessing or a curse LOL.
sighned Wolfbaine3 AKA peter Calcutt
Peter Calcutt I wasn´t abel to see everything because in my time zone it passes at 3 am and I had a apointement in the morning, but what I saw was amazing I was a little worried ffor Liam at first but he did great, not only that it was great to see the new side of the players as they adapted to diferent character and roles in the group.
On other note I know this would be impossible, but I would have loved to see Scanlan and Obby interacting it would be hilarious and while we are at it Grog and Tarvis ( the really inteligent guy, babysiting the idiot, a sorta kraven edge situation) and Deva and Vex with Deva acumulating a ton of debt but puting it in Vex name and her having a small aneurism when the rest of the group forces her to pay because they need Deva for some reason or other.
Sounds to me like you are another mad Brit, just like me. well maybe slightly less mad since i got up t watch it at 3 am and do every week. your ideas for character clashes are awesome.
2021 Goal: To be completely caught up with High Rollers by the end of the year- both the Lightfall and Aerois campaigns. Wish me luck!
How’s it going?
@@pinkpixels8806 im starting now, july 14 2022, hope to be done by end of 2023
Totally my favourite Yogscast Series!!
Thanks Freddie!
+Yogscast Live I really should have recorded my reaction when I realised you replied! So happy! This is the video that got me into D&D and I'm glad it did! Thanks!
D&D is great. Right now im playing a game with some online friends set in a comic universe.
+Not Datz how are you playing online?
on roll20.net :)
I just finished bingewatching the third campaign, Althea the dragon empire. Next episode comes out tomorrow. But I NEED MORE! So I want back to watch their preciously campaign. I cannot get over how tiny they all look. xD So tiny and innocent xD
This is gonna be awesome! :D:D:D
This is so nostalgic, 7 years ago, this stream was what got me into DnD
Always wanted to see how a proper D&D session looks like and this is shaping up nicely
+Vasha Uaifu you should check out critical role as well, its voice actors playing d&d
+Vasha Uaifu Lots of channels have such content! Critical role, dawnforgedcast are some examples!
+Vasha Uaifu Try searching for Acquisitions Incorporated
+TheCookieFlavaJAR or just YOTS or year of the squid(also DnD is excellent to listen to while doing something else)
ItmeJP's rollplay, he has several different DnD games and DnD style games on his channel...
I always loved how rolling a 20 is so amazing, yet you have the same chance of rolling any other number.
Well finally decided to watch high rollers from the beginning I’ve heard good things.
U will love it welcome to the family good friend.
I ALREADY LOVE TROTT'S CHARACTER, and ofcourse trott too
Who doesn't!
We all live trott and all of his characters
i find this really thereputic and calming. its really helping me with my book that im writing
What is the book about?
its a sci-fi thing kinda based of halo
TheSwaggyPotato nice, post a link here so i can see when its done?
ok
Just leaving a note from past me to future me when a relatively interesting book comes out..
Critical role brought me here with the mention of hulmes guest staring on CR !
Big fan of high rollers, decided to ease my thirst for their adventures by watching Lightfall. what a treat.
and omg they all look so different and so cute!
This is great, I've been looking for a funny laid back DnD series to watch! :)
Your lucky, I had to wait for all the episodes to come out, you get to watch 20 episodes on demand..... NOT FAIR!!! :P
HarmonQuest - get on it
Joshua Saputo Can recommend dice camera action on D&Ds youtube channel
Killua Zoldyck while there aren’t that many episodes of it compared to this I recommend Outsidexbox and their d and d series as I found that quite funny and laid back
I spent what little free time i have nonstop watching highrollers, then I caught up so I subscribed to twitch so I didn't have to wait for the latest vod to be uploaded. Now I'm suffering withdrawal since Highrollers was the only thing I've watched for weeks. So here I am ready to do it all again!
Non-D&D players: "It's like stepping on a Lego."
D&D players: "Ever stepped on a D4 caltrop?"
So glad I found this ☮️♥️🍀😌🎲
I discovered this group in Aerois and after catching up, thought I’d give their other campaigns a listening to. So far, loving the characters, and during the break, that “Diggy Diggy Hole” really caught me off guard, but I was not disappointed 😅
It's silly how much I adore this show. Just came back and remembered that I felt exactly as confused as everyone here when I started watching, having little to no idea what D&D was at the time. Love these guys!
Kill Count In Episode 1
Matt 0 Kills
Trott 2 Kills
Kim 3 kills
Katie 0 Kills
This is my fourth time re-watching this and it never looses any of its charm.
Just getting round to watching High Rollers. I was going to start S3 but thought I'd better go from the beginning. Only 8 years of D&D to watch... see you on the other side... *clicks play*
my grandma passed last night... now its 3 am.. and still cant sleep. so i came back too my safe place.. too find comfort.. and hopefully some sleep... ty Trott Katie Kim Matt Tom and Mark. this play list.. i swear i have watched the first 30-40 episodes 5-10 times by now some even more. u give me so much comfort. through rough times. from all of my heart thank you.
I feel like Cam is just what Hat Films condensed into a single person would be. (yes, its 2021 and im only just starting Lightfall)
Rewatching the series, waiting for sunday.....
Thanks so much for introducing me to DND!
Currently trying to find a DM, but so far no luck. D:
EBAY THAT SHIT
Roll20.net
Be the DM. Invite your friends to play :). Hell of a mantle to take up adn super rewarding to help your friends have fun :D
June 12th 2021 I have watched this whole series every year since it finished. We're doing it again boys
It’s the 19th of december 2023, watching this after I fell in love with dnd through baldurs gate 3 can’t wait to see this adventure through
Welcome to D&D, I hope you’ve been having a wonderful time with it ♥️
@@BooksToAshes me and my friends are 3 sessions into a campaign and we are absolutely loving it
@@theabsoluteidiot1550 Ah that’s awesome. BG3 and D&D are incredible, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed both. Best of luck to your campaign!
When Kim said "I'm happy to give that thing a yank..." I was half-expecting Trott to make a sex joke in the nature of his character.
When was that?
1:06:36
Me: *decides to watch these after Mark's guest spot on Critical Role*
This playlist: *goes on for days*
Well then, I know what I'm going to be doing in my free time.
Interesting. Kim and I have characters of the same race. (I play a Tiefling Warlock by the name of Eramanth, but his friends call him Eram.) And Critical Role is actually what sparked my interest in D&D.
Side note: Technically, Jiutou could have simply cut through them (probably easier than how Cam did it), because Tieflings naturally have claws, courtesy of their demonic heritage.
+Damon Fyrian Looking at the handbook for 5e it doesn't appear Tieflings get anything related to having claws. Given I am sure a DM could adjust that for their own players.
PurpleAlzir It doesn't say in the handbook, it's in the flavor text for their race if you look up the race specifically (not to mention every Tiefling mini I've seen to date has had claws of some form or fashion).
Damon Fyrian I am going to assume Kim doesn't know about that since she is a new player and the handbook doesn't say stuff about it.
PurpleAlzir But she has two (possibly three, including the DM) veterans at the table. So she has help. It's ultimately up to her and the DM, though, because not *every* Tiefling has claws long enough to be usable.
Damon Fyrian That is another factor. Either way they got through the vines.
Ive watched every episode of Crit Role and the Unexpectables that is currently out and I missed the days of binging DnD vids of one campaign.
Those days have returned.
And by the gods have they returned with a dynamic entry teifling.
Came over because of something Matt mentioned and I have to say I'm really Impressed by both the DM/GM and the players.
Having watched some of the other yogs stuff and not really finding it interesting this is really well put together.
Kudos to you sir
+Scion of Doom Thanks very much!
When I first watched this Trellimar was my favourite character.
Rewatching it now... Trellimar is still my favourite character, by a long shot
Yeahhhh. I’m watching the entire light fall campaign again after like 4-5 years. Now I have to deal with the heartbreak of Matt/Trell leaving after episode 40 😢
Now that my thesis deadlines are drawing closer, it's a good moment to rewatch all of High Rollers.
Holy shit just found this dnd run and it's so good... I'm gonna put the hours in n catch up, thanks yogscast loving it.
yeah its an amazing series good choice!
I finished campaign 2 just a week ago, but need my HR fix. Starting over again and I love it!
Here Feb 7th, 2024. High Rollers just celebrated their 8th anniversary, and is on the 10th episode of their 3rd campaign. Excited to rewatch from the beginning!
Ah, yes. Ritualistic blood sacrifies. Right before going to sleep. I've made a GREAT CHOICE!
I love this show. Several months ago, I was looking for something to watch and I remembered Martyn talking about playing dnd. So, I looked up "Yogscast dungeons and dragons" and found this show. Now, I'm all the way caught up, and am watching three dnd shows- This one, the #wafflecrew (Dice, Camera, Action), and I'm 29 episodes in to Critical Role. I love it and I'm so thankful that you guys started this. It's gotten me closer to my friends and has sparked my imagination again.
This is what I wanted from the Yogsquests.
While they're funny, they're too linear. Throw out all of that fancy decor and just play some dnd.
Nothing beats the "I'll just set up a camp right away" moments from their dnd podcasts.
exactly, just some good ol' DnD.
I'm glad they have this going now! I feel like Yogsquest is more of an ad lib comedy adventure movie in the sense that even though it's d&d you kinda know they'll succeed in the end, but that doesn't ruin the fact that there's a ton of hilarious improv from the characters that flows off of a d&d style roll based system. Yogsquests are more wild, while this was very gripping. Both are super awesome in my opinion! Two different approaches 😄
+VengD Don't forget the epic battle between Lewis' Warforged and a weak goblin, where every turn they would lash out at each other and miss for like a solid 10 minutes,
+ImpulsiveZombie XD
+VengD yeah, be me and teleport the endgame tree god into the sun by getting a couple of 20s
literally just finished catching up to this series yesterday, and haven't been able to find a d&d series as good as this one.... sooooo, I'm rewatching it :3
Matt Mercer having Turps 2.0 (lol) as a guest star this week brought me here. Pretty pumped to watch this series :D
I'm so late to this party but like. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ALREADY!
Saber Queef Welcome! I am just starting this series too. Its gonna take a long time to catch up XD
Kyle Veley I kind of did it in less then a week....
Adorable Penguins O_O
Is that even possible? Like, seriously. I did the math at one point and it would take like 5 days non-stop to watch them all.
...*Whispers Thanksgiving break*
Dedication
About 3 hour long parts? Good bye life. Wait, why am I saying bye to something I don't have?
Is it rekt if it's yourself?
roast yourself challenge lmao
good bye whatever life I'm going to have.
Great DM,
great players,
great D&D to watch.
Hey, I'm getting my first D&D handbook tomorrow, and I'd just like to say thank you for having fun, and letting us have fun along with you!
I should be cleaning my house but this is so much better. I've never played or really watched dnd before. It's nice to see it from the beginning and learn a little bit about it all. This makes the idea of me joining in at my local bar's dnd night a little less frightening. Please keep this around it's great!
Surprised they didn't figure out the puzzle. They were supposed to pull the torches down in order with the gold markings on the ground. Ie: Left, right, left, left from Mark's pov
wait...how do you know that???
+Kiero Vance™ (Kyrobolt) When they pulled the first two correctly, Mark said it clicked, when they pulled them both at the same time he said it clicked differently, which would mean they did it wrong and the mechanism reset. Mark also said the gold paint was probably put there for a reason and it was the only other thing in the room
+Evan “Moon Jerk” Phillips Holy shit, you blew my mind irl ( not kidding) FUCK you figured that out so well !
That's what I thought but I had to pause the video
Oh God, every time he says Arak, all I can think of is the Middle Eastern aniseed spirit...
+Ruaridh Maxwell yup!
And I thought I knew random trivia...
+Ruaridh Maxwell or Iraq but you know....
Hahaha and the main boss is 'Osama min laden'
+Supya67 Fair enough. Though the way he says it, it sounds a lot more like عرق ᶜaraq (the drink) than العراق Al-ᶜirāq (the country).
So.... When's Matt Mercer going to make his guest appearance?
+animationguy1000 I'd prefer Sean Bean, he would die pretty quickly though
+animationguy1000 He did on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/criticalrole/comments/41n0gc/no_spoilers_another_great_dd_stream/
+animationguy1000 Matt should be a guest, but we need Kit Buss on as a regular.
+animationguy1000 also need Wil Wheaton as a guest, so he can fall in some acid :D
Mr Mercer is a godly DM.
Started watching this way back when, then kinda fell off.
Time to restart the journey, here we go!
Watching from the beginning again! I love seeing how Matt develops his RP skills through the series.
Please make a channel for this series, I can tell it's great
again...
agreed...
Yea yogscast DND channel
+Colby Shepherd They could put YogsQuest on there as well, but I don't think that there's enough content to justify making a whole new channel. A playlist on the other hand, that'd be nice if they haven't already done it.
Aria I'd just like cut up episodes, and a channel could help that
+Aria Also they could throw the Fighting Fantasys there too. There be more content than people realize.
The magical world of Iraq.
+Trogdor Man (supertrogdorman5252) i would argue its more like Aarak
exactly what I was thinking!
+thmsbarber when ever i hear it i think of that guy you called mirack from that one game about dragons you know with tooes heroes that that are called like dragondrawn or someting
JamesA Houghton Skyrim?
Dragonborn DLC. Also, Miraak, not mirack
Their world sounds like a Brandon Sanderson Novel!! I love it!!
I am starting Lightfall THIS MOMENT, I have never watched before, I came here after all of Aerois and what there currently is of Altheya, and I am so excited!
See you all on the other side!
this is bloody brilliant. where has this been all my life?
kindof reminds me of the beginning of Pillars of Eternity
Welp, Mark was so good on Critical Role tonight that I'd might as well start watching the game that he DMs!
A couple months too late for this but damn, Mark Hulmes is a great DM. I thought he was good in the Hat Films Star Wars roleplay but he's turned it up to 11 for this series and it's fucking awesome.
How the hell am I getting nostalgia from the start of 2016?
highrollers is good
This is gonna take a long time to rewatch.
I keep coming back to this campaign, it was so wonderful and and I love it so much. The characters will be with me forever.
wow, this is great. I am always on the search for RPG shows, having fell upon Critical Role by accident, and binging every episode (which took a loooooong time). I was currently watching the Dice Camera Action: Curse of Strahd DnD campaign run by Chris Perkins (trying to fill the showhole left while I wait for the next ep of Critical Role to come out) when I stumbled onto this. Apparently the DM here made a guest appearance on On Dice Camera Action as a PC for an episode. Anyway, here we go! Great so far! :)
For her first DnD session, Kim did a pretty good job at RPing
I love Kim's character! This is great.
Thanks Joshua!
Finally! A youtube show that gives the Guan-Dao some love. That weapon is seriously underrated.
4/1/2021 - starting my journey here. I'm a CR addict and needed more D&D... obviously Mark is great and since he was on CR I decided to give this a go. Hello crazy Rollers! (or whatever you're called)
Same here! Finally got caught up on CR after starting last March on C1 and needed something else to binge watch!
Here from Mark's appearance on Crit Role.
god I love Trott he's a solid... 5
Hahahahahaha, do you mean out of five or out of ten
+Isaac Norris that's what I was wondering
why didn't you make it a 6... cause then it could be any combination of "out of 1'insert 0's'" sooo.... like 666/1000... for example... then we can confirm trott is satan... now, lemme ask you this... 666/1000 is 2666 less than 3333... so.. confirming my suspisions... the number 3333 has 3 "3's" in it... thereby confirming trott is illuminati
Ryan Gil OMG.... you just blew my mind
Woah weary travelers, I am here to give all those taking the trek through Lightfall 6-7ish years after it came out guidance so you don't have to search through hundreds of comments from years ago to find the break
BREAK: 1:53:17
This just popped up in my recommendations, man what a blast from the past
These guys have gotten so much better at playing their characters in the past year
Here after the finale of Aerois
Trying out campaign one for the first time
It’s so odd seeing Kim play the fuck off char and Katie playing the sunshine char coming from Aerois
It's odd the other way too
