Very excited to finally be able to start the Campaign. Some technical issues will be resolved next time, for instance: - My mic is clipping here, the software we used for the call annoyingly turned it up, it's fixed now. - We'll have a Battle Map where you can see our cameras as well - We already are on most Podcast apps, but we will be on iTunes as well in the next couple of days - We're looking at implementing a natural 20/1 counter for people just for fun Any other suggestions let me know! We deliberately don't roll virtually, so people read out their rolls for the audio only version.
Whoever's idea it was to merge two of my favorite things ever in mtg and DnD.. Hats off. This is amazing. LOVED the character intro at the start, both audible back stories and the cards. Keep doing 3 hr long sessions please!
incredible job guys, dnd is dope. Merchant, you are scaling the ladder and are currently my favorite content producer when it comes to MTG and would love to see more of this!
You know what you need? You need a nice friendly Orzhov rogue/wizard. Just sign on this parchment here, don't mind the fine print, just your standard form...
Absolutely new to DnD but wanted to have a look at it for a long time now. Seems like a perfect opportunity to jump in with you guys. The introduction of the characters already gave me goosebumps. Really brought them to life! Seems like I've got three hours less to sleep now :D
My group is also playing Ravnica D&D and its going well. We have a Boros Minotaur fighter, a Selesnian Loxodon Paladin and Elf ranger and a guildless human Rogue. I was going to play a female human Boros cleric but changed at the last minute to play an Izzet sorcerer (cause the DM said he'd like it if we had more guild diversity). My Sorcerer, Talion Morvein, is chaotic neutral (like any Izzet mage) thinks he is very intelligent and charismatic but is easily bored and so far his favorite spells are presdigitation (cause its fun to say and you can do fun things with it like I cleaned a rat the Loxodon was chasing when we first met) and produce flame (I'm hoping to run into a lady NPC trying to light a pipe so I can produce the flame and ask "need a light?" in a charismatic manner). The rogue and Minotaur are first time players and the rogue is trying a bit too much to go against the DM's railroads so he can create a more enjoyable story for himself (not realising there is a whole group also playing) to the point of breaking one of the key rules of DnD: He spilt the party. He decided he and I would wander off to meet some Dimir agent contact of his (so my mage spent an hour in the smelly and damp sewers with nothing to do except play with his flames) and then tried to bluster his way into a prison to interrogate someone inside and almost got us arrested. Finally he took off to another part of the city to look for goblins to intimidate while the rest of the party followed the main questline. We finished our second session in a sewer (again) but at least we got to fight some roaming Golgari zombies and my sorcerer rolled high hit rolls with his produce flame and max damage each time so he's happy he finally got to burn stuff!
Gotta say I'm loveng the roleplay from Lockin. Kash is a very pompous, entitled, arsehole and I love it. It was wonderful watching his efforts to secure a private room fail so badly. Pretty sure if he just followed Deru in the first place without complaining he would have had a much less 'fragrant' night's sleep.
Really excited for this campaign, MTG and DnD in one! Love the Ravnica setting, and I'm thinking of grabbing the book myself for my first game as DM. You guys are a great bunch of players, Craig seems like a really fun DM to play with.
INCREDIBLE! GREAT JOB BY ALL! Merchant this is the most fun ive EVER had watching a you tube vid. This will be the thing I look forward to EVERY WEEK. hats off to the DM. great NPC play. great description. GREAT JOB EVERYONE.
so happy about this. I missed the first 2 hours on twitch, then didnt hear the end ( i was SUPER tired after a long day) Awesome that its on UA-cam on Sunday, cuz Mondays is my only day off!! Woot! Beer opened, G&G on the phone... MTGA on the computer... perfect!
I really like the overlay, the idea of playing D&D in the MtG setting, and the crazy races. I don't know when I'll make it through this video, but I like it!
Hey Merchant, I started watching your new D&D campaign "Black Blades" on your other channel and someone recommended this series. Looking forward to it!
Thx for the upload! Missed the first hour of the stream yesterday so it´s good to have it here on YT. Already looking forward to the next episode. Cool dungeon master, interesting characters and quite educating too...didn´t know these tiny goblins have to eat that much. It´s also nice to see some well known faces outside of their standard business. I would watch it all at once even if it was twice as long.
I'm at 1:50:15 and I have 2 follow-up questions so far: 1- what happened to the surviving boros guy ? no questions for him about the attack ? 2- Did yall forget about kash's "detect magic" incantation, or did it just not "resolve" ?
You can stretch black guilds a bit but they're never really well aligning with the goals of the other guilds. Though I would have thoroughly enjoyed Merchant playing a Dimir Matrix spoof.
Glad to see you enjoying yourselves :) I often love the story lines of reworked DnD, especially in "worlds" that I enjoy such as MTG's Ravnica, but the "live" learning and exploring, the adlib, the confusion, aren't always for me. I shall catch a few more episodes, and see how the fantasy evolves. Be well, stay merry and blessed.
I am super happy to have found this!! My friends and I just started our adventure into Ravnica, and I've been dying to see how other people are using the material!
God I'm super jealous of you guys being able to all call in and stream D&D together. I DM my own group however i definately can't do anything like that with them, it's like wrangling horny cats.
So, I'm setting up a group myself for this, and I'm legitimately looking forward to what my players come up with. So far I have... a Gruul Minotaur Barbarian, someone undecided leaning towards Azorius Paladin or a Rakdos Bard, and I don't know what the others of the group are rolling. I'm kind of hoping for someone to roll Dimir because it'll be neat to play with that around the rest of the group.
Excited to see someone running a Ravnica game and that layout is spot on amazing! Hope you don't mind, but I'm definitely going to steal that idea and make cards for my PCs.
POGGERS This is awesome, my friends are just now getting back into MTG and we've been putting D&D on pause for a while, but we've been wanting to run Ravnica so this'll be awesome to watch!
OOOH! Another Ravnica D&D stream! The second I have found in the last few days! UA-cam is FINALLY learning what I REALLY want!!! BUT THERE'S NO PLAYLIST FOR ME TO SAVE, NOOOOOOOO!!! Wait! Is that a good thing or should we all be worried???
Shame Ol' Reg couldn't save that boros grunt. I love when my player's do my work for me; woulda been nice to have a little callback later in the series where Reg sees the fella again.
Appreciate the stream! I've been looking for some inspiration into my Ravnica module! I will admit I thought Merchant was one of the Super Mega guys until he started talking.
I just started a session a couple of days ago and I'm going to binge-watch your series to get a better depth of the game, I made a dragonborn Paladin so, DEUS VULT.
I was really hoping when it came to the 3 bedrooms, Kash would have said something along the lines of "I was hoping I could sleep with Talora but I guess that doesn't solve sleeping arrangements"
Merchant, you are super awesome! I love your content/work and look forward to all your videos you upload each day. Keep doing what you're doing and keep being awesome!
The guildmasters are known by everyone, they're the leaders of that specific district. Its like knowing who the Baron of some random county, to keep with your feudal analogy.
@@macaronipanda9516 Except that specific district. the tenth district, contains pretty much every major landmark of Ravnica. The chamber of the guildpact, the very building they entered stands in the gateway plaza the very place where later Nicol Bolas will invade Ravnica. The destruction of that building will start the war of the spark. This is not some minor of province this is the heart of Ravnica, the representatives may not be the guildmasters but they represent them, in the guild council, the highest ruling body of Ravnica.
Love it. Great job all around. D.m. is solid with npc's. Reg is great. Nuff said there. I can't really say more than what everyone else has said about him. Very good job on Deru. Solid pencil pusher. Lol i love the constant lecturing and scolding. He may not be the fan favorite (ahem...Reg...) but he has a lot of character to him. Aseres is dope. Solid first character. Well done. I definitely see the character every time you speak. Kash is hilariously cocky...like any smart izzet should be but he has a suave kinda air about him that is unique to izzet I feel. Most izzet are wild and smart (like Farnsworth from futurama lol). Kash is smarter than you and doesn't have to constantly remind you of it. Whether you know it or not doesn't matter lol. And Talora is a solid character. Ironically the least "normal" character, a simic hybrid, feels like the most "normal." Good job channeling them outgoing, defiant, youngster vibes
Now that you mention it I can't take it anymore lol. Might have to pass on this series. I myself say a lot of "like" and "you know" and "I mean" but holy crap this guy, every other word

Is this going to be a long lasting campaign or more like a module or a pseudo one shot?
@@hiimreyna long campaign :)
@@MerchantTV POG
please add subs
Not possible sadly, subs for a 3 hour weekly show would be a whole job.
Merchant has the distinct D&D advantage of already sounding like a fantasy character in real life.
As does AliasV
Right? For someone that playing for the first time she got in her character really well.
And kind of the perfect voice for a goblin at that (no diss).
His goblin voice is fantastic
dude merchant that goblin voice is spot on man goddamn 10/10
He could voice a barbarian, like Grog Strongjaw!
Just to be safe, I'm gonna overanalyze everyone's actions to figure out who's really a Dimir spy....
What is Dimir?
@@l0ker507 sounds like something a Dimir spy would say...
@@l0ker507 Dimir is one of the Ravnica guilds, known for its spies.
Who is dimir?
@@Sullenslime kinda missing the point there..
Wizards needs to have merchant do some voice acting for planeswalkers in mtga, you’d be so good for like a Karn or Sarkhan
He seems a good fit for Angrath, in my opinion.
Just make a goblin plansewalker
@@eidolon9012 I see what you did there
Merchant was born to play this goblin
Sounds more like an orc
Everyone else: Interrogating prisoners, scouting out locations, thinking up plans
Reg: B R E A D
Whoever's idea it was to merge two of my favorite things ever in mtg and DnD.. Hats off. This is amazing. LOVED the character intro at the start, both audible back stories and the cards. Keep doing 3 hr long sessions please!
Wizards of the Coast owns both
incredible job guys, dnd is dope. Merchant, you are scaling the ladder and are currently my favorite content producer when it comes to MTG and would love to see more of this!
You know what you need? You need a nice friendly Orzhov rogue/wizard.
Just sign on this parchment here, don't mind the fine print, just your standard form...
Jayska Teag happy?
Your soul is mine! Muah ha ha ha! Err...oh you didn't sign it...heh...um...I'll just take this back now.
No, we need a GRUUL!
Well shit, guess I'm staying up till 2am then
Absolutely new to DnD but wanted to have a look at it for a long time now. Seems like a perfect opportunity to jump in with you guys. The introduction of the characters already gave me goosebumps. Really brought them to life! Seems like I've got three hours less to sleep now :D
Prison holding the most dangerous criminals in all of Ravnica: guarded by a handful of guys
I've made a drinking game out of all the times the DM said "Ahm". I shall soon ascend to Valhalla my brothers!
may your blade never dry from the blood of enimeis and the drinks of comrades .i will to soon join my brother .hail..
🤣🤣🤣 that's too funny
My group is also playing Ravnica D&D and its going well. We have a Boros Minotaur fighter, a Selesnian Loxodon Paladin and Elf ranger and a guildless human Rogue.

Pretty sure if he just followed Deru in the first place without complaining he would have had a much less 'fragrant' night's sleep.
Amazing. So much potential here. I almost peed when that dude was casting waterknot
Really excited for this campaign, MTG and DnD in one! Love the Ravnica setting, and I'm thinking of grabbing the book myself for my first game as DM. You guys are a great bunch of players, Craig seems like a really fun DM to play with.
INCREDIBLE! GREAT JOB BY ALL! Merchant this is the most fun ive EVER had watching a you tube vid. This will be the thing I look forward to EVERY WEEK. hats off to the DM. great NPC play. great description. GREAT JOB EVERYONE.
I've never played but I've been reading about dnd all week. After watching this campaign I can't wait to get into my first game.
Merchant much respect from using the flavor text from tenth edition goblin pikesman, I also like tenth edition goblin areonauts flavor text
so happy about this. I missed the first 2 hours on twitch, then didnt hear the end ( i was SUPER tired after a long day) Awesome that its on UA-cam on Sunday, cuz Mondays is my only day off!! Woot! Beer opened, G&G on the phone... MTGA on the computer... perfect!
reg and derus chemistry is what i live for
My man Merchant with the Seahawks gear, that’s what’s up🤙
I really like the overlay, the idea of playing D&D in the MtG setting, and the crazy races. I don't know when I'll make it through this video, but I like it!
great stuff! and shoutout to the DM--usually a thankless job, but pvt managed some good energy and variance in his descriptions and dialogue =)
Dang, those character introductions were sick. I'm loving this already.
Only 8 minutes in and I can already tell that this is going to be dope. The cast is great! Wishing there was some golgari at the table though :D
Woot... an Izzet caster... My favorite Guild. And really great character concepts overall.
This series should get me through the next week of quarantine
Merchant. Reg is by far my favourite character you have played in your campaigns.
Hey Merchant, I started watching your new D&D campaign "Black Blades" on your other channel and someone recommended this series. Looking forward to it!
Only three hours long? REEEEEEE
Thx for the upload!
Missed the first hour of the stream yesterday so it´s good to have it here on YT.
Already looking forward to the next episode.
Cool dungeon master, interesting characters and quite educating too...didn´t know these tiny goblins have to eat that much.
It´s also nice to see some well known faces outside of their standard business.
I would watch it all at once even if it was twice as long.
i bet the izzet wizard was working on a secret bread recipe
I'm at 1:50:15 and I have 2 follow-up questions so far:
1- what happened to the surviving boros guy ? no questions for him about the attack ?
2- Did yall forget about kash's "detect magic" incantation, or did it just not "resolve" ?
Black is my favorite color and none of you went with a black aligned guild, FeelsBadMan. Cant wait to see where this goes though.
Same, was hoping for a Dimir or Orzhov (Rakdos might have been too much to ask for lol) to spice things up, but still down to watch.
You can stretch black guilds a bit but they're never really well aligning with the goals of the other guilds. Though I would have thoroughly enjoyed Merchant playing a Dimir Matrix spoof.
How do you know none of them are dimir spies?
I purely wanna be a mushroomancer so golgari is a huuuge lean towards since my friend is DMing a new campaign
Happy now?
Glad to see you enjoying yourselves :) I often love the story lines of reworked DnD, especially in "worlds" that I enjoy such as MTG's Ravnica, but the "live" learning and exploring, the adlib, the confusion, aren't always for me.

A great start guys, I really enjoyed it and can't wait for more! I like the characters and how well you all work together and play together already.
I am super happy to have found this!! My friends and I just started our adventure into Ravnica, and I've been dying to see how other people are using the material!
I love the frames used in this. And the Characters too!
Right I want to know the program and how they did it.
Fantastic. Glad to see a robust guild & party dynamic.
Just from the start, I like the idea of alwaysturtle. Edit: 4:47 "Well guess what? Screw them!" it gets better and better
Totally buying the book now
Yay! Will be drawing inspiration from you all while I draft my first attempt at a Ravnican adventure.
God I'm super jealous of you guys being able to all call in and stream D&D together. I DM my own group however i definately can't do anything like that with them, it's like wrangling horny cats.
Thank you for the intro, because I'm 100% here for d&d thanks to syx and have no idea who anyone is lol.
I didn't even know I wanted this, then I immediately discovered that I needed this.
A new DnD stream for me to follow religiously? Sign me the fuck up, that shit is addictive.
So tempting to make fan mtg cards of things from this campaign
Do it! We'd love to see them
@@MerchantTV DAMN Well guess that make my choice for me. So was not expecting a reply.
imgur.com/H3puP96 Base off imprisoning effects and the Paladin of Atonement.
Your role playing of Old Reg was fantastic! Really brought him to life in a hilarious way
You guys have some great chemistry, looking forward to seeing how this develops!
I give bread the sauciest look of all time is my new favorite Merchant quote. 😂 cant wait for ep 2
So, I'm setting up a group myself for this, and I'm legitimately looking forward to what my players come up with.

Never seen a game of D&D so pretty cool and it was in magic so felt familiar. Love to see more guys
I know I'm super late, but wooooooooooo a ravnica dnd game! Just a little upset with the lack of selesnya or orzhov guildmembers. :c
With that intro alone Aseres might be my favorite.
Excited to see someone running a Ravnica game and that layout is spot on amazing! Hope you don't mind, but I'm definitely going to steal that idea and make cards for my PCs.
POGGERS
This is awesome, my friends are just now getting back into MTG and we've been putting D&D on pause for a while, but we've been wanting to run Ravnica so this'll be awesome to watch!
I like how merchant just talks normally for his character haha
Every time Reg says "Right.." I have to laugh so hard, idk if that's just me xD
Jan B. Same 😂
Aseres sounds like a night elf. Love it!
OOOH! Another Ravnica D&D stream! The second I have found in the last few days! UA-cam is FINALLY learning what I REALLY want!!!
BUT THERE'S NO PLAYLIST FOR ME TO SAVE, NOOOOOOOO!!!
Wait! Is that a good thing or should we all be worried???
Haha, Merch making his voice even lower for Reg.
Curved Rapier? That's got to be an exotic weapon.
Shame Ol' Reg couldn't save that boros grunt. I love when my player's do my work for me; woulda been nice to have a little callback later in the series where Reg sees the fella again.
whenever Lockin acts out of character i'm gonna say to myself "that's not very kash morgan of you"
well this is a lot more enjoyable than i thought it'd be. actually hilarious, imo. good stuff man. oh btw i'm glad you got the bread
Just me, or?.... Merchant friggin sounds like the Orcs in Shadow of War
This is fantastic! A great mesh of two of my favorite things done very well!
Man rewatching this I forgot how much I miss Ol' Reg.
YEESSS, UNEVIVICALLY YESSSSS!!! THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FORRRRRRRR!!!!
Appreciate the stream! I've been looking for some inspiration into my Ravnica module! I will admit I thought Merchant was one of the Super Mega guys until he started talking.

i wish i could be as descriptive of a DM as Craig
Hi there, was wondering what program you are using for the mtg frames and webcam setup over all?
YES. YES. YES. YES. YES! Saturday needs to come faster.
Thanks, now I have to listen to another great podcast campaign.
Who wrote the character backstories? They are so well written and you all nailed the delivery and voice acting as well. Talented narration.
This was great! Loved the Characters! Awesome Idea!!!
I was really hoping when it came to the 3 bedrooms, Kash would have said something along the lines of "I was hoping I could sleep with Talora but I guess that doesn't solve sleeping arrangements"
Cant wait for Merchant to voice act in the upcoming magic the gathering movie
Yo Merch! So excited for this!! Keep up the great work!!
Very late to the D&D train, but I’m excited for the Campaign!
Bread!
Merchant, you are super awesome! I love your content/work and look forward to all your videos you upload each day. Keep doing what you're doing and keep being awesome!
2:04:30 Wouldnt they all know who their guildmaster is? Isn't that like not knowing who's king?
The guildmasters are known by everyone, they're the leaders of that specific district. Its like knowing who the Baron of some random county, to keep with your feudal analogy.
@@macaronipanda9516 Except that specific district. the tenth district, contains pretty much every major landmark of Ravnica. The chamber of the guildpact, the very building they entered stands in the gateway plaza the very place where later Nicol Bolas will invade Ravnica.

Combat in 3d in first encounter - great start to D&D Maths ;)
If Pythagorean’s Theorem is
A+B=C ( all to the second power)
Then it would be 40+30=70(again second power)
A dnd stream where no one has colored hair? I'll have to check this out.
Jeff Heun 😂😂
wut
This is awesome Reg is just a shinning star XD
You know Merchant is playing the long game, he'll probably put that first ability score increase into STR and DEX to round them both out lol.
I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the DM is a homebrewer or at least a craft beer drinker?
That's a really good dm
It’s ok I’m only addicted to 5 D&D live stream campaigns. What’s one more?
I feel this haha
Critical Role
This was awesome! Hoping to see more. You just earned a subscriber
What is the program being used for the video? Background and frames with names… so much better than zoom… help please?
Great game and good role-playing . Only suggestion is the DM working on the "em"'s gets a bit nerve wracking after a bit.
Yeah thought the same. I am pretty sure that at this point he doesn't even notice.
Now that you mention it I can't take it anymore lol. Might have to pass on this series. I myself say a lot of "like" and "you know" and "I mean" but holy crap this guy, every other word
That overlay...so good.
OMG a dnd stream that I like finally 100% love you guys thank you
