Love the after show
i think dave has done a wonderful job so far with the characters in this D&D show feeling inclusive, i enjoy a lot that there is prejudice and bias in this world but that these people exist regardless. seeing the apothecary be nonbinary was still something that felt wonderful and that i felt seen by
i love how they pretty much only get natural 20s when it’s for the dumbest rolls
So DnD then lol
As a non-binary I was hype as fuck about the apothecary, love representation and they were an awesome character
Love the editor isolating Dave at 5:05 hahah
“In a fantasy world the monsters are easier to identify” goes hard
the dnd campaign has been a slow burner for me but by these last couple episodes im fully invested and im looking forward to each new episode. i hope this series goes on for quite some time, im loving it ^^
Random question but does anyone have the Discord link? I accidentally deleted the email with the invite lol
You should be able to find the invite under your patreon profile!
B. Dave Walters doesn't miss
Nick did slime so dirty with the baby mario comment😭
the Lil Shyd tradition of Isogashi.....cause they're so busy mending pots
amazing episode and respect the convo at the end. have loved every character you all have created
I really love B.D's take on inclution!
s instead of a t. itll save you a headache in the future.
How is no one trying to revive Celenia? Great EP tho
The after the episode discussion was great. DM Dave you are so cool
God Dave is so sick. Really love how he roles with the punches here. The boys throw him a god damn curve ball every epp
who the baddie laughing in the intro tho haha
Coke head striga
the prince is the prince from vinland saga i hope he becomes the season 2 version
Saying the top half of a horse is called a Bojack was such a funny Dave joke
I totally get what Stonebeard was trying to do by swinging on the prince but every time he did I still got pissed off 😂 but I respect the thought and was also wondering if Dave was gonna pull some shit like he did with Sensei Water Lotus and just embarrass Stonebeard 🤣 swinging on Petracor was too much tho 😭
while i enjoyed the earlier episodes of the show where the boys mainly focused on portraying themselves as honest and valiant heroes with deep emotion and tragic backstory, i think it is SO yard coated that its ended up coming to a place where these four come off as the most incompetent, aloof yet still highly skilled enforcers of safety. i dont know whats gotten into ludwig but his recent expression of stonebeard, especially compared to SB previously to the battle of layko (sorry if misspelled), is probably the hardest i've laughed at any yard content ever.
it's also hilarious to me that slime, the class clown of the previous two sagas, has taken a backseat to the comedy in this run. he's still very entertaining, but watching aiden and ludwigs dynamic, down to the silent tug of ludwigs whiskey cup, is comedy gold. i feel so privileged to get to view these episodes a week prior to the poor youtube watchers
as a non binary person, i loved the apothecary
Same they were awesome
as an autistic person i love that we get some representation the jokes are all great lmao
Wtf is bros hat
Trilby
Great nick ep
My theory is that stonebeard since using the cannon trick twice has gotten permanent brain damage lol, his character has become so stupid and impulsive and alcohol dependent lmao. And im sure its just lud wanting to role-play stronger into his flaws, so it's all fun
Don't forget the self administered projectile to the brain
My fucking chest hurts talking about fucking the queen as her self and shit is the hardest I’ve laughed this whole series
I personally loved the apothecary as a non binary who always for some reason makes my character in baldurs gate a non binary tiefling
this was my favorite episode by far, love it!
“I rolled a 20, I just don’t know what that means” classic DnD with the boys
I love this series it’s genuinely the best, I just wish they would at least mention that the princess is preserved for resurrection 😭
same
this episode was everything i needed right after being admitted to an inpatient, vibes are good
"Does it please the seed to see an apple?" This episode was a good balance of humor and progression. Really enjoyed it. Loved Aiden's flight description of the teleportation and the face moment with Roan hearing a voice. Stonebeard's dumb nat 1 face is S tier. Also the prince reminds me of my brother almost verbatim, even though I see people saying how on the nose it is. It is a bit more exaggerated obviously but that is highly accurate to how he is with his niche interests and fixations (mythology, music history, etc.). I love this show. I feel empty whenever I have to wait for the next episode.
seeing slimes shirt im so scared to see what the bottom text says
Bro the amount of times Nick takes credit for Aiden's good rolls
"i swing on him" is the greatest stonebread quote since "i get into the trebuchet"
The conversation about representation is interesting and important. I loved the non binary character. They were hot and witty and culty, baddies are baddies for a reason 💅 diversity in representation is important but this doesnt feel like bad rep as someone from that group. The autistic stereotypes were way more on the nose but you guys are playing DnD, self owns get a pass surely.. I really love this show, if anything the only valid critique is you guys have to figure out how to not accidently retcon amazing lore building youve already done.
I started listening to the audio only and then switched to the video half an hour in. Nothing could have prepared me for that fuckass hat on Stonebeard
redthorn rolling a nat 20 with the chaplain & the setup & reveal was all time
they really are just button mashers
Lud cutting off dialogue actually added a lot to the timing of the plot beats funnily enough
my eye twitched when ludwig said isogashii
Not him forgetting kintsugi... he really did switch and is Chinese now
I enjoy the aftershow so much
B. Dave Walters is legit the goat!!! He needs more appreciation
the chemistry he has with the boys & his willingness to yes and them pretty much all the time (and even call out slime when he’s out of line like in this ep) is phenomenal
Lol isogashii 忙しい means busy. Ludwigs best japanese. He meant to say kinitsugi 😂😂
He's not speaking Japanese, he's speaking Halfling and Stonebeard learned about it during his time in LilShyd
im really grateful for the end convo actually! because i was a LITTLE (like only a tiny bit) nervous that redthorne's whole thing would become "haha look at him he's doing the autistic thing" so i'm glad they've discussed that
dude i cant prove it but im so convinced redthorn is behind it all i do NOT trust that guy
You’re right, it’s always the child’s fault when their parents divorce
I really liked the end segment
Fire Episode, and fire and important discussion on the after show. Keep up the great shit
Great ep, I laughed so hard at the Prince just manically laughing at being swung at instead of actually reacting. It adds to his character so much.
Also Roan’s happy memory being his parents going off to fuck his bully’s divorced mom made me crack up too
Dave's improv skills are so damn good
What’s up Trevor
"Coming.." oh Ludwig
Can't believe they forgot Stonebeard killed the love of his life in a game of Mori roulette
Good LORD he is getting some real mileage out of that hat
Favorite Dave episode
I wasn't aware there was a controversy. I had nothing against the apothecary being a villain, I loved how badass and powerful they were. I just wanted some kind of redemption arc because I wished we could keep them around and not killed and gone from the story so quickly. No hard feelings, though, I'm sure we'll get a lot of cool new characters that we can look forward to. And I agree: Show all kinds of characters doing all kinds of things.
I love how much the B. Dave is able to humble Slime. Both through characters on screen and off, every time Georg gets an attitude he's immediately shut down cause he knows he's out classed.
Dave is for sure my favorite dm I've watched and to deal with this chaotic to is impressive honestly
They have to stop calling him a kid when Celenia was his twin and presumably the same age
they made it uncomfortably clear celenia was very young when she was introduced if iirc lmfao
I don't know if it's okay to what it is say so I won't, but I can certainly remember a franchise horror film where a gay Asian character is killed first and hoooly shit. Wonder if that's the one and they did end up changing it, because the timing works, or that's just a common enough thing to have been asked for on one movie and actually happen in another around the same time. Either way, what a sucky note to get.
12:26 "cumming" -Ludwig
This was Dave’s funniest ep he really is starting to nail their humor and chemistry! Honestly this episode was incredible I can’t remember a time where I was watching a show and gotten this locked in.
A 1 on that roll was chaplain Epstein and they’d be fighting to release the scrolls
I KNEW IT!!!! The events leading up to their first session ARE canonical to the current story. obviously GJ confirms this, BUT this is a solid confirmation.
I think the response to the nonbinary thing is because in general they don't show up unless they're villains so they're worried that will be the full extent of the representation but based on everything else you've done I don't think that should be the expectation.
Stonebeard's axe is such an amazing plot device
Holy shit he really did move that table a LOT. I remember the boys talking about how heavy it is too LMAO
This one of the best episodes of the whole series ngl
1:01:10 nice dice stacking Nick
I like the audio editing choies so far in this episode
Usually the first comment I see says: best episode yet.
Best ep yet
I’m glad they acknowledged the hat
please give this win to the fujoshis and let aiden fall in love with the prince
i’m sorry but leonia is endgame honey💅
these wall charges are def making up for the lack of trebuchets in this castle
Lud lookin like Games Dean from VGHS
Why are they all dressed like amateur DJs?
It looks like Ludwig is gonna start Yodeling in the middle of this episode
Can't wait to see aimen fall for the hot prince to cope with losing Selenia
The identical twin of his first love, surely that would make him fall in love!
I'm not going to watch this yet but thanks for posting early
Archie my dawg thank you for getting uploads back on track 🤝 perfect time to eat lunch and watch.
