Sometimes the existential dread is easy to handle, and other times it just sends you spiraling out of control. Sometimes you wake up as a hunter. And other times, you're a prop being hunted. It really is a metaphor for capitalism, this game. The hunters (or American consumers, if you will) are on the hunt for physical objects. They're on the lookout. Their entire focus is to find objects. And w...

Wow, 2 videos in a week. It's almost like once I leave work I have absolutely nothing to do. Hence why I went through the trouble of recording face cam for a video that will get at MOST 10 views. And yet again I am left typing into the senseless void that is a UA-cam video description that absolutely no one will read. I am very good at choosing what endeavors deserve my very precious time.

btw can i ask for the maps that you used for this campaign?
The vast majority of maps I used I pulled from posts in the r/battlemaps subreddit. If I recall correctly someone there shared a link to a google drive that had custom versions of most of the maps in the Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign
@@FigNewton7 thank you so much, hope this session goes as well as i imagine it to be in my mind lol
amazing ...
Wow. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawk that ending! Like, I've got no connection to the story or your party, but even I felt super bummed and emotionally invested when the twist dropped. I'd always been interested in the FH, read a few things here and there, and literally watched a 30 minute essay about the thing a couple hours ago. This was the only vid(s) I could find with a FH in actual play and both parts were really fun to watch. Sucks to see that you don't really upload much, because honestly, I really enjoyed watching your group play. Thanks a ton for the cool adventure and giving us a taste of what the FH can be like in a play setting. <3
That's so kind of you to say! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yo this is legitimately horrifying props to the dm
Cheers! I appreciate it :)
You my friend just jumpstart me to DM again after along hiatus of playing. incorporating the false hydra memory wipe into my player's journey by droping a hint along their joruneyis gonna be a thing. So thankyou a lot dude
Happy to help! It was a great time trying to figure out, "How do I made it feel like there really IS a person-sized hole in their memories?" I'm glad you're feeling inspired :)
it was a lot of fun watching this, the ending was great
Thanks for watching!
the banshees bussy haha
"I whack" Spoken Like a true warrior.
Just Barbarian things
Loved the subtle hints and the story telling. Good DM
Thank you!
16:58: that "it ate them" had me circling back
17:32 - Considering the party is wearing earmuffs, what ability did the Hydra use on this party member?
It used Dominate Person, which does not require the target to hear you like some other spells like Vicious Mockery
hi, where did you get the nice village map for foundry?
For pretty much my entire campaign I used maps that people uploaded to r/battlemaps. This one specifically is a map I repurposed originally called "Town of Annsgate" from u/OrangeMagic05
this helps me run a false hydra in my campaign, thank you!
That was an amazing encounter and the buildup was next to none. I am very much 'borrowing' ideas from this, thank you so much for putting this out.
Please do! Most of my ideas were borrowed and just combined to make something coherent. By all means take what you like and leave the rest
•~•)🍿
that fight was close
dang that cliffhanger was so good. loved that episode !
🤣🤣 This is a small town they must all be cousins 😂😂 I can breathe lol
This proves dms are a next level of evil
In the last video the animals saw the hydra. How do the animals see the hydra? I thought as long as the hydra is signing you cannot see it. This thing could be inches away from you singing an you will not see it. I thought the only time it stops signing is when its feasting or fighting.
As far as i know, scared animal or no presence of animal is one of the sign that there are false hydra around
I gave the hydra the mechanic that its song only effects creatures with an INT higher than 4, so most regular animals would hear the song and see the False Hydra. Just another way to drop a hint to the party
So the random potims theyre finding in weird places i understand thats theyre friend who died that assisted them somehow. But they dont remeber them. I was thinki g of running that idea in my own false hydra. But can i do that from the begining of the quest when theyre lvl 1? Im planning placing my hydra halfway through the campaign. But i want the surprise to be they always had a party member but they got eaten by the hydra when they got to town. But they dont remeber them. So all the quests b4 they just remeber finding potions an items in weird places.
That's exactly what I did and it's an excellent way to do it. I dropped this into a campaign of Ghosts of Saltmarsh, but the party was finding items way back in the very first module
@@FigNewton7 now is it them finding them odd items of this dead party member just they're memories trying to understand or place this individual but cant cause all of theyre memories have been erased "Wait why is there just random potions an items in this tent with us. Who's is this?"
@@jamescoleman1574 The latter. The lost party member was a cleric, so any time they should have remembered the cleric healing them with a spell, their memories were modified so that they just found a potion
@@FigNewton7 ok ty
Never tried dnd don't even know the rules just saw a video explaining what the false hydra is and wanted to watch people play it. It was great thx
man my heart broke by the ending! love how you did it!!! Im planning on using the false hydra on my players, any advice on how to do it?
Thank you! I appreciate it! My advice would be to plan ahead. I started this campaign knowing that I would use a false hydra later, so I was able to drop small clues here and there of what would have been Oksana helping the party. So they found healing potions during desperate times in odd places or everyone was healed by unseen magic after a challenging fight. I really wanted to give the players the sense that they had someone ripped from their memories, as opposed to just their characters memories, which meant the "memory re-write" needed to start early to have substantial impact for my purposes. I saw a video on someone's TikTok of using the artist's portrait to convey a missing party member and absolutely fell in love with the idea. I knew an artist who was a mutual friend of all of the players so it wasn't strange when they joined the call on discord to present their art, and that's when the penny dropped. The whole series turned out so much better than I could have hoped
If i run this, im going to have a party member randomly notice that their arm or leg is bleeding - ocassionally having their weapon in hand for some reason, and ill have them enter or leave areas where they werent before, like they were in a tavern, then ill explain that they have wrapped up in the chaple and are leaving the chapel grounds, as they had a run in with it and have completely forgotten the encounter and moving on from it. If they happen to jot down a mark on parchment if they see it, if they happen to be near its lair, ill have the paper absolutely covered in marks on both sides.
It you play with any sort of fog of war (not sure if you're on a VTT), maybe have an are already exposed, hinting at the idea that they've been there before
where is part 2 lol, i needs it.
Part 2 is live! ua-cam.com/video/qOzZv2yUrxg/v-deo.html
Nice Video :) I´m researching about the False Hydra so I can GM a oneshot about it. Thats how i found your channel. One tipp: work on your audio balancing. The music was way to loud at some points
Thanks for the tip. I didn't notice until after I had rendered, and re-rendering a 30 minute video didn't sound like fun. You live and you learn haha. Glad you enjoyed!
first
Hahaha the agony
Hey! I like this video feel free supporting me too!
