If you have any suggestions for timestamps please tell me!
See you next time!
I feel like people don’t say it enough how much we collectively appreciate these little time stamps, they make it so much easier to revisit your favorite moments from all of the campaigns. Basically, thank you very much for doing this, from the viewers
@@pranavr4017 ahhh thank you (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
Hey, I’ve seen you from JRWI!
@@anonymousnlonely3315 yup!
I see you’re back at it again!
Thank you for the timestamps!
Laira: "This is a lot more people than I'm used to dealing with."
Wurd: "That's alright, just picture 'em all naked."
Laira: "That makes it _worse!"_
Refering to chat as wurds lackeys is the best use of chat
💯
He's the boss
I like how much of chat basically roleplayed being Wurd’s lackeys, it’s adorable
"I am old but I am still dragon"
Quite a badass quote.
Especially because dragons get stronger as they age
And then they get weaker and die. Usually.
@@alexandrudorries3307 Dragons are like lobsters, they don't suffer degradation on age. Functionally immortal barring non-natural deaths.
@@tommenno I guess this is true, though only because broad application of the term ‘dragon’ to a variety of creatures has basically rendered it taxonomically meaningless.
Some takes on dragons are functionally (or literally) immortal but, given the context established within the story, it
seems that dragons in this setting do deteriorate as they age and it can be inferred that they would eventually die of natural causes.
Edit: Trust me - I’m probably a bigger dragon nerd than you are.
@@alexandrudorries3307 I mean, I'm just going off the 5e ruleset my dude, don't gotta swing your wyvern wang around.
Time has passed since the necro hunt exactly 37 years as this takes place in 253 and necro hunt was in 216. This also means 45 years have passed since the golden cay as that took place in 208
:0
Damn they old
I’m just imagining middle aged Renee and Luna drinking wine together, that would be adorable
@@anonymousnlonely3315 Nathaniel: watching time pass him by
Nathaniel: “ my face betrays no emotion.”
@@stelladecoris2137 Old man Woulverine Enoch
The fact that we get another campaign with an all-new cast and a new region of Lustrous Expanse with a distinct atmosphere, yet the same adorable DM with his very comfortable and engaging style is a miracle!
Looking forward to the next part of this journey
30 secs in and the editing and production is SICK
Production? Could you please explain?
(To the tune of Wellerman by Nathan Evans)
🎵There once was a place called Elythni
And from that place, our adventurers be,
A ragtag gang, started with a bang
With the help of a cer-tain (BOSS)
Soon the tournament's won
By our heroes having jolly good fun
Got the bag, captured the flag
And took that heart in tow
But just before they claimed the prize
The people of the town were quite surpised
As black ooze rained down from the skies
They must defend their home (BOSS)
With help of hammer and steel
Our adventurers they did not yield
They saved the town, with their skills profound
They still have a ways to go🎵
A great song and one I would definitely be singing to cheer on our heroes!
@@cybermadness2503 Glad you liked it :3
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is so good!!!
Love for Jocat, love for OSP Red and love for Fantasy! This campaign has all three! ♥ ♥ ♥
It also contain a player Kobold.
So it is even an extra point for me.
I felt like those old cartoons where the characters jaw hits the floor and their eyes bug out of their head when Wurd showed up on screen. 😍😍
Love how Necro Hunt's players all looked humanoid mostly like humans, but none of which were humans. And then you're not going to confuse any of these players for humans! Definitely tells the more playful and fantastic vibe this campaign is going to have versus the serious, almost horror vibe Necro Hunt had.
This is looking like my main watch list for the next however-long. Also that violin music at 1:35 after “The heart of Elynthe” was perfect, at the very least in timing
If I had a nickel for every cowboy character in a jocat campaign...
Yo the vod’s finally out! Time to watch it over a period of a week and a half
Also that Aaracockra design is lovely!
Ikr
I really enjoy this. It's more (how do I say this) digestible than critical role. It's fun, and somewhat less long
Post production is a hell of a drug.
I GET that. There's a group I listen to that sometimes ends up with like 6 or 7 hour sessions. I love when they do that, because it's a key indicator that an epic boss fight is about to happen, but HOO does it take a while to get through.
Goddamn Wurd was an immediate favorite
So hyped to see Red playing!! Such a huge fan of OSP
I just started watching OSPs Detail Diatribes about a week ago and then Figured i needed a new Actual play show and gave JoCats a click. What are the Odds Algorithm. "shakes fist at sky"
WAITED FOREVER! Yay! whole family enjoying this one. Thank you Jo and cast!
The story of the boss' spreads and becomes exaggerated and compounded in confusion as the koblds swear he turned into a dragon and fought off the blot and flew into the sky carrying ALL the civilians to safety before giving his last breath " tell my story!"
The Blot kind of reminds me of the titular Dark Water from "Pirates of Dark Water" but in a weather phenomenon vice a sea-based scourge.
Also Buck: "ORE NO TURN! DRAW!"
Enemy Team: Laira what do you have?
Laira: Ice Knife!
Enemy Team: No!
Loved Necrohunt and Golden Cay. Get your popcorn ready! 🎉
"That incident last month" is going to be a running joke
1:37:30
“you’re going to use your skills to advance”
SKILL CHALLENGES! Honestly one of my favorite parts of this.
Didn't get to catch it live, thanks for posting he vod man, this lineup looks stellar
jocats dnd sessions give me a reason to live
literally made my day just seeing this thumbnail pop up, I'm so ready for more of Jo's DMing
I like Wurd immediately, he reminds me of Greed
Rewatching the series again because... I want to marry it, but I've spent so long just seeing their portraits, I've completely forgotten their full body artwork! First time watching I was just enjoying it, but now looking back I just realized all the little details in their full artwork.
Buck's Big Blind is a roulette wheel, and you can actually see his card holster at his belt.
Wurd is wearing like skin tight stealth outfit under his fancy coat (I used to think he wore like a three-piece in there).
I didn't realize Fritz's tummy was out and her arms are wings (I used to think her arms and wings are seperate).
And Laira looks a lot more elegant than I expected, her outfit is streamlined and neat and the colours are so fitting with her character, twigs and everything. I feel like her character is the kind of person that I'd be too shy to talk to.
God they look way better in their full artwork than I imagined. Don't get me wrong, I understand why we don't have it at all times, it's pretty large and the screen will be cramped, but man am I glad I came back to the start and seeing the full artworks.
That was a perfect introduction to the campaign and its cast while also keeping a magnificent sense of pace 👍Everyone did a great job and the art was fantastic!
It is ,right now, my dream to play a campaign like this. Holy crud this looks amazing
You don't know how happy this makes me that your on campaign 3
I am only at the 16 minute mark but I am calling it right now, Wurd is going to tease the shit out of Fritz just to fluster her
I’d like to say that I was about to go to bed and then saw this. I hate I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to watch it but also looking so forward to it
HELL YESSS!!! Been waiting with eager anticipation! Thank you for hosting JoCat, and thanks to the players for being such a great cast!
my dad is a grafic desinger and i have seen my fair share of his work. but this is insane, and i LOVE IT. keep up the good work.
Literally so excited. I haven’t been able to see the streams so I’m here for this! This looks like a great campaign with a bunch of great characters!
I assume Laira is a Shifter right?
Wurd is a Kobold.
Buck is a bugbear.
And Fritz is a Aarakocra.
Yes, specifically a cat type shifter.
DUDE!!! The speech bubbles when each person is talking is soooo helpful! :D watching this while I work (hopefully
)
Anyone else have "Surfin' Bird" in their heads while Fritz and Wurd worked together? Just me? Right.
Interesting party comp. Looking forward to this.
Love how Fritz has a more anime type look instead of the more accurate one
I can’t help but think of that kid robot maker kid from Asterisk War when it comes to Fritz
oh god Logan is doing the the lizardfolk voice
I couldn’t be more happy
already enjoying this group so much!!! looking forward to the other 4 tests they are probably to be given
I just found the series and i love it. Definitely gonna binge this in the next couple weeks.
Really like the style of DM'ing and all the players sound like fun characters, good mix of roleplay and just having fun. Never played before but this convinced me to try and persuade some of my friends
This is such a beautiful setup. I love everything I see. Great cast, great GM. I feel the effort. 🙌
Started watching this just as my birthday was finishing up. Great late present for me to find JoCat!
Jo cat: welcome one and and all to the lustrous expanse where magic and monsters taverns and tarrasqs and yes even dungeons and dragons are reality today i bring to you a tale of such wonders where a small group of upstanding individuals use thier might their swiftne-
Me: I CAST FIREBALL
You are an amazing DM. I've truly loved every campaign you've created. And I've loved every player that's taken part in your world.
I don't think I can add another D&D show to may schedule at the mome- RED FROM OSP!? FUCK YES!
This is an absolute delight to listen to
I loved that around 22:00 the chat just turned into ROCK AND STONE drg references
P.s. WE FIGHT FOR ROCK AND STONE!
Elias the dragon is a MASSIVE mood
I've finally started watching these and oh my god do I love Wurd so much already
Fritz is my fav! That voice, those decisions... Yup! Fritz all the way!
I need to pay more attention to your channel and twitter, had no idea my man Feltheleb was in this! Amazing quality!
love how runesmith plays ward with a 1920s gangster voice
i enjoyed every minute you guys are doing great please keep producing more
this lineup of players is insane I am so excited
Whoooo! Needed something to listen to at work, decided to finally check this out, and it seems like it'll be a lot of fun! Jo as DM is great, Red's great, and while I don't know any of the other players from before, they're great, too!
This might be the first time i was able to watch a DnD Session someone else is playing.
I dont know what it was, but something hooked me.
Besides the amazing DM and players who all keep the game engaging and moving, I think there are two additional factors why: 1) It is very visual, with cool portraits for almost every NPC and neat overlay; 2) This is edited from the twitch VOD, which cuts off the banter between/after the game and during the break, along with some other stuff that slows the game down, I suppose.
Glad you enjoyed it ^^
BRO I forgot House of Elynthi was releasing I’m so excited to watch this journey also Wurd is already my favorite
Edit: I’m currently playing as a Kobold and he’s stupid lol
Loved the first episode looking forward to the rest
I wish I was part in a group this invested and down to earth
So normally I struggle to get into new campaigns. It's not a reflection of the talent of the cast nor skill of the DM, but more of a chore to get hooked on the narrative.
This campaign start was different. I feel an immediate sense of intrigue around what is unfolding in the land and enthusiasm to see the party thrive (I would DIE for all of them). I loved the amount of detail given to the npcs to make them all feel living and breathing. I honestly cannot wait until the next installment and opportuinity to chant "BOSS!" at my screen!
Waiting happily for the next episode!
Spoiler:
I love that when the blot start appearing, the entire chat turns into Wurd’s lackeys
I typically dont like live plays, but this one grabbed me. The player characters are particularly engaging, and I am curious right from the get go as to where the plot will go. Will this be a weekly upload? Im invested
I’ve got a feeling I’m gonna love this one!
Time for a new advanture. I cant wait to see what will come next in this story
1:21:02
"How much Kobold could a Fritz chuck chuck if Fritz chuck could Kobold chuck?"
I love the Internet sometimes xD
Im just now watching this and oh i am so looking forward to seeing all of this campaign.
Had a heart attack when I saw runesmith
I've been looking forward to this!
*Wait where did those two hours go*
BOSS BOSS BOSS!
BOSS BOSS BOSS
The wait is over and my God am I so so happy
The story is fun, I'll definitely be enjoying going through the rest of the series that has been uploaded so far. I will say though I can't help feel like the very beginning felt a bit rushed, like it felt as though I came in late to the story. That's not a concern based off of how the story started, in my opinion, but rather, I think, my problem lies in how it was conveyed. I think a simple synopsis on how they joined as a group would have done wonders to help this. Just some constructive criticism on otherwise spot-on work. 🙂
Forgot how good Belkinus was, this was a treat
Almost can't wait for Session Two
YOOO HE SAID THE THING!!!
THE DUNGEON AND THE DRAGGIN!!!
the art is so amazing...
LOVE the new setup
I love how Buck's hammer is coloured like a roulette wheel, it really matches his luck ascetic.
I know i'm suuuper late for this, but i had no idea who the players were. Seeing Red and Runesmith, two awesome content creators i enjoyed individually, on the same DnD table is just the best.
I loved this so much
Callin it now Blue team is gonna come back at some point to help out in a time of crisis.
Oh Heck another long form campaign!
Poggers!
Jeez the intro too that last party member killed it for me.
@JoCat
This is right up my ally, it's too much fun.
When's the next episode due?
YEEAAAAH BABY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR WOOOOOoo
i love how chat took the identity of the various kobolds under ward and calling him da boss
I love this team very charming
Oh heck yea, a new adventure!
THIS IS GONNA BE FUN
Fritz has now inspired me to make a courier character for DnD.
Yes! New Jocat campaign. LETS GOOOOOOOOO
I love the awkward, duty-bound goody-two-shoes sorts like Laira, but she faces stiff competition from 'You gotta eat thunder and crap lightning' Wurd. That accent, man.
Took me nearly 15 minutes in to realize the Monster Hunter symbols at the avatar pics.
I totally want that arena map!
(Me) Ah I finally got around to watching this yay. 5:24 (Red) Hello I am Red I am one half of the youtube channel overly sarcastic productions. (Me) WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Ok first of all. THAT Red?! I heard everyone talking about them in the trailer for this and I was like. Oh huh she must be famous. Then I never got around to watching this. And inbetween the time of this vid coming out and now when I finally started watching it! I remembered overly sarcastic productions was a thing my friend showed me a few years back when I didn't have a youtube channel. So I went to subscribe to them and binged a LOT of their vids. Completely frickin CLUELESS. .... Oh I am gonna love this!
