Rewatching and love lud pulling out his will ferrell here
lud made me actually cry laugh holy fuck
1:00:50 bro 😂😂
Fuck it I gotta say it - banger lud ep
Where is the episode about what they were doing with tom and kootz adventure?
damn maybe he can solo that table
It’s so interesting how you can tell how long between episodes it is cause like last episode thimble was talking to Roan saying “they’ll never believe you”
If it's a Duo session for the wild night out my dream guest to play Tahm Kench is Miles with all the poker stories those two have had together
Funniest episode to date!
I think at this point they need a 6th person in the room taking notes of all the plot points like a court stenographer to keep track of things.
I am SO glad the Johnathan Pork thing has stayed a running gag
love Dave
Smooth brain Stonebeard is so fucking funny 😂
Thimble was definetly shit talking Roan in the bath house cause he found out Roans "J.P."
im not bothered by it (writes a paragraph) but i think we’re at a point where the small plot discrepancies dont matter THAT much, but i fear if it keeps happening we will stray too far from the path to a point where it doesnt make sense. like im gonna make a masterdoc of the lore atp lol
I agree, they need a doc and some little scribe boy to sit in the corner and pipe up when they hit a plot hole
I can't wait until the moment when Roan cracks and lets himself be vulnerable for a minute and admits that he just wants his friends to know he's John Pork
They are absolutely not going to believe him, then make fun of him for daring to claim ownership of the work of the great John Pork
last ep said Thimble was watching over coots in the revolt in town to make sure nothing hypes up further And G.J was at the tree when stonebeard carved into it aswell so did she just go home? Also I thought elias was a githyanke that came w stonebeard as royalty from a different planet, is that still correct or is it a different elias? Minor plot discrepincies nonetheless
Still an amazing series, funny as ever, with everyones unique way of coming at it making it the most entertaining dnd series ive seen
Ludwig is so BIG for us, moving the famously heavy table when Stonebeard ran through the wall
40:50 They said Elias was the Queens brother but the King calls him brother in his diary? Lowkey the timeline got uber-fricked this episode. Still funny but the retconning was crazy.
they're in-laws so they could be really close?
Ludwig looks like a Jeff Dunham puppet at 1:02:44
Ya'll they obviously retconned some stuff regarding GJ since they ended up recording a solo episode with Slime that same day and the other episodes were recorded way back. I think now that the episodes are being recorded recently it'll be more likely they keep track of the details better. Also people complaining about the lack of progression of the story I don't think this is the podcast for you. I watch these primarily for the improv, RP, and jokes. And its apparent the boys would rather focus on making each other laugh than progressing in the story (which I personally think is fine since it's this show's strength). Only way I see them picking up progression is Dave hardcore pushing and railroading them, which I think would be detrimental to the product. I do think the pacing is an issue though and I think what does slows the overall pace is Dave not knowing exactly when to join in on or end a bit. I think the majority of the time he tries to interject or argue using a NPC, but sometimes it falls flat and bloats the bit. There are moments where he definitely sticks the landing, but sometimes I feel like the bit runs a bit too long rather than naturally coming to a conclusion so that they could move on to the next convo/plot point. I do think he's great as a DM since he is very accommodating to the boys, is cool with joking with them, and created an engaging world/story. I just wish he would let the bit die/ let the boys get a comment without him trying to cleverly retort. Here's hoping more frequent recordings will lead to fixing the details and building up that chemistry to strike up a balance on joking and letting a bit go. Side note, glad they changed how the aftershow works hearing "how the sausage is made" every time drove me insane.
watching ludwig huck aiden into a portal so good that it activated had me weezing, DND just keeps getting better as it goes
16 episodes in and you'd think their luck would change but they still just roll like shit unless its a random nat 20 on the most mundane thing ever LMFAOOOO
Thimble is with coots looking after her
boy these guys don't remember shit
Ludwig was electric this ep
I also have notes from rewatching episodes in short succession: I thought Elias was a prince from the Githyankee home planet and came with Stonebeard to repopulate/conquer Alexlon? When did he become the brother of the human monarchy? (Maybe brother in arms?) also, isn't his undead body in Mori, at the place that Princess Selenia turned into a Dahmpir? Last episode Dave called the capital Manva (Manvah?) so that should clear the name up. I also thought GJ was with Georg because Shozie and Georg didn't want her going on more missions but everyone else was encouraging GJ go on this mission? I thought they guys were NOT healed divinely by Horizon after the major battle in Leeko because Dave wanted it that way? Maybe it was just Selenia that wasn't healed/revived divinely so that death would mean something? Minor detail I (sort of) looked into and I think is funny: Dooyen wasn't mentioned anywhere I could find 😂😭 Overall: some holes and conflicting pieces but I think the story still turned out ok and works well. The episode (and all of DnD) is entertaining asf and I'm loving that this is even out and we get to watch. Actually makes me want to try out DnD
I think they could clear up a lot of the Elias stuff by just making him an adopted/blood brother of the Queen/King and just chalk up Stonebeard’s comment about the prince having Elias’s blood as Stonebeard being an idiot. Elias’s body being in Moray still makes sense; he joined the Terradin and died during the war. IMO I think everyone really needs to keep better notes and the boys need to think/plan plot elements outside of the episode more. That’s a common thing even in home games.
1:10:45 its the scanning before that gets me
1:05:00 wasnt elias the mothers brother? also 1:07:28 we've only seen thimble goad roan about being john pork since he took the bullet for cold cock
Dave forgetting about Thimble 💔
My dads a lot like stonebeard except he doesn’t hit walls he hits me
1:01:00 😂😂😂
Top 3 ep.
The John Pork conspiracy sent me and the Roan casino reveal. And the way B Dave Walters jumped into it. This guy is such a master at improv and world building. Thanks to The Yard too because I have been getting into more of his content and what he does. Checked out his Patreon too! :D Anytime Aiden as Leonas talks about Selinia, I always get misty eyed ㅠㅠ
The absolute worst part of dnd dropping is waiting 7 days for the next.
I want to compliment the DM again because he definitely deserves it: This is such a cool system of royalty and such a unique scenario! Creating different houses through a union and the king and queen going to war about the succession because they agree their child isn't a proper heir? So cool. Also very not sexist in the succession line or the powers of the queen or the princess, which I really appreciate.
There were plot holes that maybe filled in next episodes, like when did alias became brother of queen , did he not came with stonebeard years ago, also thimble was with coots outside
I think that’s a different elias
Stonebeard dropping some bars this epi
Thimble was in the bath house
holy shit this episode was so funny
21:03 we saw that nick...
Pretty sure he just read the dice big dawg
Leonas is actually gay 🤓 FOR —-
The internet's definitely lying cuz we've seen Thimble alive and well, and tormenting Roan
Also GJ was with the group
This shit just keeps getting better, I love it.
Patreon video player make me wanna die. Am I stupid or does the video downloader like not work very well.
Yeah man, pretty rough on mobile unfortunately. The YouTube upload a few weeks back was so nice
ludwig was electric this episode
nick laughing at him was contagious
These YouTube viewers aren’t paying attention man. Thimble was on the train and helping with the crowd
I love this show, the jokes, the caracters, all of it. Whet I think bothers me is how much small and bigger stuff goes missing between the episedes - gold coins, the plague, thimble, GJ , news about the princess etc. I know that there's a lot of time between those episodes and it's not like you have videos ready to review before next recording, but maybe AI can make notes or something? I just feels like a lot of wasted potential for what is an excellent show to be a truly great one. And I would not be saying this if I did not cared about the show. You can get with more of those for me, I'll still watch it and have fun, but it hurts just a tad.
i think its the little things that really make or break a show like this
Ludwig must have been concussed before this episode
I swear Thimble was both ALIVE and harassing Roan because he knows that he is john pork and then was also watching Coots to prevent coots from starting a crazy revolution. Also I thought Georg had GJ in his shell from last episode? Was that smaller bit retconned so the Georg solo ep will presumably make more sense now?
no i just forgot cause there was time between these and i like leaving her at home, and i think dave forgor too sometimes we forget stuff cause the shooting schedule but shoot more consistently as you can see because of people's hair growing, but yeah we can be a bit more on the ball about minor plot stuff
No hate, but there were a few details that got lost in the sauce. GJ was with Georg last ep. coots and thimble were left with the mob outside the castle. Roan explicitly told the group about his disease money gambling. Just leaving this here in case it helps as a reminder. Also if it helps, I also don’t remember what the name of the city was (or if it was explicitly said). Yard DnD is peak
ITS DND DAY!! I LOVEYOU ALL AND ALSO LIFE AND ALSO BOOBS!!!
okay wait they forgot like 5 different details aa
Probably one of the funniest episodes and bits the yard has done yet. This should be in the next best of Yard yearly compilation. They really leaned into their roles the whole time and Ludwig getting more unhinged by the end 😂
I can't believe Georg would gamble away a dragon's hoard, let alone his baby mama's. Or maybe he didn't and that's why he's in debt? Either way, I'm curious to see where that line goes.
We finally got the reason to why they were healed from the deadly 7 day killing posion 😆. Finally a plot hole filled. I can finally sleep
I lost it at sir Yuengling!!!
Nobody going to say she is preserved 🤣
Mass moves mass
i am ITCHING for the georg episode. im taking a day off for it
Despite all the past crazy shit, I think this episode might actually be Ludwig's masterpiece
Forgot Ludwig was a theater kid this has been a stark and exciting reminder
I'm so sad they completely forgot the bit they were running with Thimble and Roan
Could’ve sworn thimble was watching coots to make sure he didn’t start a socialist revolution
they definitely did, and I'm pretty sure GJ was with georg in lilshyd as well
Bro what was Ludwig on this episode holy fuck I’m crying
Binged all the episodes in the past week at work and now I’m fuming that I gotta wait for more
Thimble was in the bathhouse
10/10 should've gone with beeg shyd
Ludwig peaked this episode!
Baron Oakenshield sayin "Lets up those numbers!"
generational episode
am i smoking weed or does the laugh on the title screen kind of sound like cinnas laugh lmaoo
im smoking weed and it still sounds like cinna
We saw thimble during the bar fight when stone bread was telling the guys about his intimate escapades to attain his third nipple.
Also he’s told nicks character twice no one will believe he’s JP
16 weeks later and it is still worth the wait. great job guys
David’s fit is wild. Never seen tank top with a blazer.
That’s a cloak dawg
Who's the fucking loser with the glasses haha !!
