I’m watching this to refresh my memory before season two, and I genuinely teared up at the end when bug’s friends cheered for him. Such an amazing season. It’s amazing to see your heroes at work.
I came into this not knowing a single thing about D&D and came out with my heart so full and SOBBING. This was amazing and I am so so so excited for season 2.
Yeah, I really love how accessible they made it. There's just as much to enjoy for people who've never picked up a die as there is for experienced campaigners. I hope it inspires some people who might have previously been intimidated, to try the game themselves.
100% agree, the only "experience" i have is from Baldurs Gate 3, but watching it being played for real, with the amount of freedom it gives is soo much fun. I know how much work this took, and season 2 will take a looong while before it comes, but yeah i'll be waiting just like you
Yep, after BG3 i had the little D&D bug in me, and seing this made me really wanna check more of this type of game I'm right now binging Critical ROle's first Campaign it's soo fucking fun
damien being so nervous about this and then it being such a banger is so heartwarming. he hit it out of the ballpark. i watch a shitload of other campaigns and am a TAZ/D20/CR fan, and Damien's storytelling is up there with the other great campaigns. so proud of the goober
Damien loves DMing lol, literally can't contain his excitement over his players choices. My entire group including myself are new players and our DM allowing us to explore the funny moments and laughing with us, such as Damien does, has been the highlight of the sessions. We once had a moment where a guard was suspicious of our group carrying around some fancy rugs we had acquired (legally) and I did the jedi mindtrick "These are not the rugs you're looking for." Rolled like a 23 total and the DM handled it great, literally just repeated the phrase back in the guards voice. So awesome. After watching a lot of other campaigns, I've come to the conclusion that this is my favorite. I love Damiens story telling and the groups great characters.
Props to the editor/editors this truly felt like a singular video. The story was seamless without transitional distractions. Honestly if I wasn't paying attention when it changed chapters I didn't realize it had most of the time. So much love to the editors and love to Damien for creating this amazing journey for all of us to go on. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I put this on on my tv and unless you really pay attention you can't see the episode chapters but I figured I'd notice and said "I'll watch the first episode and then I'll go to bed". About 15 minutes into episode 2 I figured I must have gotten far enough by now but I didn't know for sure lmao
dude another incredible thing the editors did was add SOUND EFFECTS! I absolutely adore the immersiveness, this is so incredible. the thought of someone watching this whole damn thing and taking a few minutes to find certain specific sounds (that some people may not even consciously notice) for every audible action is just so insane to me. absolute dedication.
honestly, I had this playing in the background and didn’t even realise that I was on the third episode until I checked the chapter index. I am accustomed to watching critical role, so I am used to 4 our episodes and didn’t realise that I wasn’t still in the first episode.
someone else commented that they would love to see some of this story animated.... perhaps you'd be up to the task???? your animations are incredible!!
It’s crazy that they played EXACTLY what I thought they would. Shayne: bonkers ass character Amanda: Mom character Angela: Playing as Angela Chanse: playing a sassy dickish character with a praise kink
When Angela said “I don’t think the name is gonna come from you Dolores” and then Angela using “Sword of Heroes” it really showed growth and development for all the characters, and the naming of “Castle Gunthar” it all made my heart grow and I can’t wait for season 2
Damien is genuinly such a talented DM. The pure emotion during the bit of 4:16:12 pulled me right in and made me truly invested in a character that was barely introduced less than a minute ago. His storytelling is immaculate.
Oh yeah, that “I’m scared” was so perfectly delivered, it actually broke my heart. Genuinely, you can tell this whole project is a product of love. Would love for Damien to start DMing on his own channel if he wants to keep doing this, because he absolutely has every skillset to do it. Although of course writing a campaign and running sessions is an insane amount of labor for someone who’s already working their ass off as it is.
1:27:11 I don’t know why but I love this little song. It makes me tear up a little. Cause you know Chanse was thinking about his friends and his adventure-mates!
Can we just shout out the editors for a moment?! BRAVO!! The sound effects and music put in the background made it so easy to be completely immersed. I was genuinely tearing up by the Epilogue and the sound design had everything to do with that. Incredible work!
Damien is so incredibly talented and he warms my heart with his story telling. Shayne, Angela, Chanse & Amanda are beyond amazing creators, the energy they give in every episode transpires into their characters. The epilogue had my in tears 💜🤍🖤💚
just here to say i LOVED season 1! I was moved constantly by Damien's world building and immersion, everyone's commitment to their characters; the perils and development of characters, everything! I rewatched/relistened to episodes while i waited to be able to bingewatch the last few in the series - It was honestly such a fun series and rollercoaster of emotions at times; I honestly can't WAIT for season 2! Massive Kudos guys❤👏💪 PS: y'know if you ever wanna release a 1-off deleted scenes clip of Kevin's intro that got binned...👀👍
Shane's "cistern, or a brothern" comment absolutely killed me, and I honestly thought Amanda's description following that was going to be a joke about like "The Cistern Chapel". Love this series and the attention to detail for all the imagery ❤
How does Damien switch from different characters so fast? And he talks so descriptively like he’s reading from a book, but it’s literally just improvised. Hes so talented
this is like my umpteenth time rewatching this series and i've just noticed how fernie tells delores that her "scarf is worth so much more" at the outpost in episode 3 and like its such a quiet little wholesome moment that says so much about not only these characters but also how beautifully they've been understood and brought to life. like it's so natural and so subtle IM OBSESSED. this is truly my favourite thing smosh has created.
It's such a treat to have the whole season in one video like this. I'm impressed all over again at how it takes someone as smart as Shayne to play someone as mentally uncomplicated as Fernie, and I am so here for it.
Seriously the seamless transitions between episodes to create one long story is SO GREAT. Thank you for putting out this edited video as an alternative to a regular playlist. *applause for editors and producers* Can't wait for season 2!!!
watching them slowly get more and more in touch with their characters as the season goes on is so heartwarming to see!! the hero’s really come to life !!
What’s so good about this series as well as betrayal is that everyone is actually enthusiastic to be there! There was definitely a period of smosh games where it felt like people were just in videos but didn’t care about them whereas now it feels a lot more like people actually WANT to be playing these games and it makes the videos a hundred times better
i’m ACTUALLY CRYING at the epilogue. the character development and storyline is so amazing and i relate to all the characters at some point throughout the campaign. so excited to start season 2
This was absolutely great, genuinely some of the best actual play I've listened to/watched. I didnt watch Sword AF as it was releasing so this compliation was so great for the binge, and you guys all did such a fantastic job. 😊 While everyone killed it, special shout out to Amanda, who on Smosh Mouth was talking about how she really discovered a love for D&D - it really shows. And of course for Damian for some top-tier DMing. Congratulations to all the cast and crew, this was a total triumph.
It was my first full experience with D&D and I loved it! I just recently found this channel through Facebook and I had so much fun. Soon after I was already in love with all of you. And as a "side quest" I learn more English while I enjoy your videos :D (Thanks for the subtitles loll))
As someone who has never played/didn’t know much of anything about DND, please bring season two ASAP I love the characters and their stories and I can’t wait for more 😭
I just recently found you guys and ended up with this as my 2024 Christmas break watch. This has been one thing that has kept me going and brought me so much joy through the massive amounts of holiday obligations that are piled on me as a mom. I can't wait for the next one! I've always felt like the odd one out where I'm from and it has only gotten worse as I've grown up and become a mom. I'm so grateful to have found a group of like-minded peers who remind me... that I'm more than a mom, a teacher, and a wife. I'm a beautiful chaos goblin with nerd tendencies. 🥰
This is perfect! I've rewatched Sword AF countless times and now this makes it so much easier - I love this series so much, I can't wait for season two:')
This is my introduction to D&D and I’ve got to say, Damien is the best person that could’ve been narrated this entire thing. I am hooked on this now. I am watching this while at work and I feel like I am adventuring with them. I can’t wait to finish this so I can watch season 2. Keep up the great content and thanks for an amazing intro to D&D
Fernie is instantly my favorite character, and we must protect him at all times! TBH I didn't watch the series as it was being released (I got busy with my own actual play stuff and couldn't watch content for long periods at a time) but now that it's the holiday season, that's slowing down enough for me to watch the show!
Many people in my life play DND and I have been interested in playing, and Sword AF became my perfect introduction to it. Seeing the development of each character and the story being woven as a whole, I was truly impressed and excited. If he never said it, I would not have believed this was Damien's first time as a DM; he did such a wonderful job. I am so excited to see what Sword AF season 2 has to bring, and I am hoping the cast and crew ALL get their roses. Phenomenal job guys :)
Checked back on this, very stoked to see it fully captioned. I knew there was a reason to come back to Smosh after years, you guys are the absolute best!
I love how I've listened to 3 hours of this, have actually imagined it (something I usually can't do), and haven't even realized how much time has passed! This is awesome you guys!
This was absolutely impeccable. I teared up when fernie planted a seed in his forest, He’s the most gentle giant. And bugs ending too. He finally receives the praise and appreciation he deserves.
BRAVO!!! I was initially turned away from this idea of watching Sword AF, I’m not sure why as I’ve liked DnD content in the past. This full collection of the whole first season intrigued me enough to smash through it during work and now I am itching for a season 2,3,4,5 & beyond!! Very well done, great story telling and great creative character work from the whole gang. Keep this content coming, my favorite up to this point!!!
I wish I could double like videos. I’m somehow 2 hours in and I’m hooked. I have never been so interested in D&D in my life but they’ve made it so accessible and entertaining
Fayen: "I'm scared." *dramatic pause* *in hushed tones*: You can barely hear it over the sound of the crowd... This bit right here, this bit gobsmacked me. This is beautiful storytelling. This was supposed to be my "just listen and do chores" D&D show, but Damien is an incredible DM and everyone is so talented and I've gotten nothing done. Feels like I wasted my Adderall today. 😂
I’m so glad they combined the episodes so I can binge it all. I got through ep 3 on my own but got really busy. Finally I can watch the rest, and I just gotta say, 6:16:04 PLOT TWIST OF THE FUCKIN CENTURY, Damien you are my hero for this
I still absolutely love the end of season one. Sword of heroes, castle gunthar and Damien’s wrap up of all the characters and their returns home. Such a good end to season 1. A story that feels deserving of this ending, not just given it. Can’t wait for season 2. Amazing job everyone!! 🔥🤘🏻
Best Soap Opera Ever! I could feel every characters emotions, I could see heartache, the glory of the battles. I could picture every encounter they made with other beings of the campaign. This is 9 hours of the best thing I've ever had the pleasure to witness. I could just close my eyes and let my imagination conjured the story as it developed. Very well written. Just... thank you for this experience. 😀😍😀
As someone who is fairly new to D&D, this seriew has really helped me to understand just how fun the roleplaying aspect really can be. And Damien as a DM just exudes so much joy and their storytelling draws you in to this fantastic world thats been built. Bravo to the Smosh team for this, and very excited to listen to season 2! Definitely need to look into making this an animated series ❤
This was one of the best things done on Smosh Games, it was so well put together. Great work from Damien and everyone else who helped with the story, it was amazing and the characters were great from Angela, Chanse, Amanda and Fernie, I mean Shayne. Thank you for putting it into one compilation, I had just started watching it again
patiently waiting for season 2, love this crew and would honestly love a few guest stars that know dnd well (like the stinky dragon crew) to add either cool plots or just to be weird side quest characters. love this
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ❤️ i have been playing the absolute shiiiiiit out of the comp videos and this suddenly made my life of rewatching this series for an eternity sooo much easier.
Watching this again, all in one go was incredible. Just a spectacular show, amazing story and 100% the perfect cast for it. Thank you, Smosh, for pouring so much time and devotion to this, we love it.
I was just watched another content creator plays DnD for the first time, it got me interested, I've always have an interest on this fantasy adventure RPG thing but never really have a chance to play DnD since it's not very popular in here. Suddenly Sword AF pops up on my UA-cam recommendation and poof, it got me hooked on DnD for around 2-3 weeks now, I really want to start my own campaign after bingewatching this series. The cast of Sword AF are all amazing, I think they're doing great in creating their character since it made me felt connected with them, their chemistry on each other are also felt real. I love all of our main characters, made me want to do adventures with them too. I just figured that these cast were also having another content too which I'll watch while waiting for SAF S2. Other than that, the DM, my guy here doing an awesome job in narrating the story, giving life to this series, the worldbuilding is perfect, very fantasy like, but also making a lot of NPCs that are good too, bonus some backstories, also doing very well in acting and voicing lots of characters, I personally think it's some very cool skill right there. A lot of appreciation also goes to the whole team that put a lot of work on this series, the music, the character design, the editing, everything mixed into a bowl resulting in a soup of masterpiece. Thank you so much for Smosh Games on making this lovely content. I can't wait for season 2 now.
I love how funny this is but I won't lie, the serious moments are really what draw me in. Seeing the cast build characters that want to do right and grow together is so fun for me
I’m new to the community of D&D and watching all of this sent me through loops of emotions, it was amazing seeing everyone come up with so much! I can’t wait for Season 2 💛
Perfect timing for the perfect video! THANK YOU! I'm working on a project and this being posted is the best thing ever, just made my day 1,000 times better!
The fact that I just spend the last weekend watching the whole thing and I finished YESTERDAY for you guys to post it all in one video!!! LOL binge again will be SOOOOO Much easier
I’m already tearing up at Bug’s epilogue and then seeing Angela getting emotional over her baby’s growth and happy ending just sealed the deal. Bug is everything I love in a protag. Plus he shares a name with my cat :) ❤
Amazing!! Like I cannot express how I felt about this. It’s so well done and emotional in a way. I gotta give props to all the people who worked on this amazing series, the cast and of course Damien who truly is amazing dungeon master and awesome at immersing us in the story that he was telling and the voices? Spectacular. I’m so glad I have been part of this. Excited for season 2!
I’m watching this to refresh my memory before season two, and I genuinely teared up at the end when bug’s friends cheered for him. Such an amazing season. It’s amazing to see your heroes at work.
You did not just use the term hero
I came into this not knowing a single thing about D&D and came out with my heart so full and SOBBING. This was amazing and I am so so so excited for season 2.

My entire group including myself are new players and our DM allowing us to explore the funny moments and laughing with us, such as Damien does, has been the highlight of the sessions. We once had a moment where a guard was suspicious of our group carrying around some fancy rugs we had acquired (legally) and I did the jedi mindtrick "These are not the rugs you're looking for."

After watching a lot of other campaigns, I've come to the conclusion that this is my favorite. I love Damiens story telling and the groups great characters.
Props to the editor/editors this truly felt like a singular video. The story was seamless without transitional distractions.

The "backstory episode" may genuinely be my favorite piece of content Smosh Games has ever produced. The story is genuinely really good.

Fernie is instantly my favorite character, and we must protect him at all times! TBH I didn't watch the series as it was being released (I got busy with my own actual play stuff and couldn't watch content for long periods at a time) but now that it's the holiday season, that's slowing down enough for me to watch the show!
Many people in my life play DND and I have been interested in playing, and Sword AF became my perfect introduction to it. Seeing the development of each character and the story being woven as a whole, I was truly impressed and excited. If he never said it, I would not have believed this was Damien's first time as a DM; he did such a wonderful job. I am so excited to see what Sword AF season 2 has to bring, and I am hoping the cast and crew ALL get their roses. Phenomenal job guys :)
i watched this entire thing over a span of 24 hours. I have never had any interest in D & D but omg this was fantastic. I am so excited for season 2!
Checked back on this, very stoked to see it fully captioned. I knew there was a reason to come back to Smosh after years, you guys are the absolute best!
Angela’s enthusiasm is so infectious, I love her. Bug is such an endearing and relatable little guy.
I love how I've listened to 3 hours of this, have actually imagined it (something I usually can't do), and haven't even realized how much time has passed! This is awesome you guys!
I am so proud of y'all for creating this series. And thank you for the compilation of the first season! Can't wait for season 2!
This was absolutely impeccable. I teared up when fernie planted a seed in his forest, He’s the most gentle giant. And bugs ending too. He finally receives the praise and appreciation he deserves.
Did i just watch all this in a day?
Yes. Yes i did.
7:40:20 onward is the greatest villain reveal. It made me feel angry as well. Damian is a fucking genius.
Oh God, I am so not ready. I'm at 4:09:07
The speech is INSANE! I was in shock- it was honestly so freaking good❤
I loved it, it was very Metal Gear villain.
I felt genuine rage during that whole interaction. That made me realize how amazing of a DM Damian is.
BRAVO!!! I was initially turned away from this idea of watching Sword AF, I’m not sure why as I’ve liked DnD content in the past. This full collection of the whole first season intrigued me enough to smash through it during work and now I am itching for a season 2,3,4,5 & beyond!! Very well done, great story telling and great creative character work from the whole gang. Keep this content coming, my favorite up to this point!!!
I wish I could double like videos. I’m somehow 2 hours in and I’m hooked. I have never been so interested in D&D in my life but they’ve made it so accessible and entertaining
2 episodes in and this is one of the best campaigns on UA-cam because everyone's character just works and the improv is excellent
Fayen: "I'm scared."
*dramatic pause*
*in hushed tones*: You can barely hear it over the sound of the crowd...
This bit right here, this bit gobsmacked me. This is beautiful storytelling.
This was supposed to be my "just listen and do chores" D&D show, but Damien is an incredible DM and everyone is so talented and I've gotten nothing done. Feels like I wasted my Adderall today. 😂
So happy to have this compilation 😊. I love listening to Sword AF and BAF Legacy at work. ❤
I’m so glad they combined the episodes so I can binge it all. I got through ep 3 on my own but got really busy. Finally I can watch the rest, and I just gotta say, 6:16:04 PLOT TWIST OF THE FUCKIN CENTURY, Damien you are my hero for this
This is hilarious. The frog dude who went from haver of seggs to maker of beds had me crying 😂
Amanda’s first campaign was a fucking success I was so impressed at her creativity
This is amazing now we need a second season
@@sarab4241 Is that when they said they start season 2?
Welp apparently not
I still absolutely love the end of season one. Sword of heroes, castle gunthar and Damien’s wrap up of all the characters and their returns home. Such a good end to season 1. A story that feels deserving of this ending, not just given it. Can’t wait for season 2. Amazing job everyone!! 🔥🤘🏻
This brings me great joy. Thanks to the crew, cast, and Damien for their time and efforts making this hilarious journey.
Best Soap Opera Ever! I could feel every characters emotions, I could see heartache, the glory of the battles. I could picture every encounter they made with other beings of the campaign. This is 9 hours of the best thing I've ever had the pleasure to witness. I could just close my eyes and let my imagination conjured the story as it developed. Very well written. Just... thank you for this experience. 😀😍😀
I am SOOO excited for season 2! I can’t wait.
This is cinema, this is so mexican, salsa and most importantly, yes!
bug has gotta be one of my favorite characters of any dnd campaign ive experienced ever. hes just a precious little guy who wants to be a hero
As someone who is fairly new to D&D, this seriew has really helped me to understand just how fun the roleplaying aspect really can be.
And Damien as a DM just exudes so much joy and their storytelling draws you in to this fantastic world thats been built. Bravo to the Smosh team for this, and very excited to listen to season 2! Definitely need to look into making this an animated series ❤
This was one of the best things done on Smosh Games, it was so well put together. Great work from Damien and everyone else who helped with the story, it was amazing and the characters were great from Angela, Chanse, Amanda and Fernie, I mean Shayne.
Thank you for putting it into one compilation, I had just started watching it again
Chanse really understands his colors and it shows 👏
I was literally about to rewatch the season today, this is perfect to prepare for my first campaign coming up!
This series is like 9 hours of Beauty and the Beast on crack and i LIVE for it.
patiently waiting for season 2, love this crew and would honestly love a few guest stars that know dnd well (like the stinky dragon crew) to add either cool plots or just to be weird side quest characters. love this
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ❤️ i have been playing the absolute shiiiiiit out of the comp videos and this suddenly made my life of rewatching this series for an eternity sooo much easier.
Watching this again, all in one go was incredible. Just a spectacular show, amazing story and 100% the perfect cast for it. Thank you, Smosh, for pouring so much time and devotion to this, we love it.
Absolutely had a blast with this first season, can’t wait for season two!!
The amount of Emotion I felt watching this omg this was amazing!
I was just watched another content creator plays DnD for the first time, it got me interested, I've always have an interest on this fantasy adventure RPG thing but never really have a chance to play DnD since it's not very popular in here. Suddenly Sword AF pops up on my UA-cam recommendation and poof, it got me hooked on DnD for around 2-3 weeks now, I really want to start my own campaign after bingewatching this series.
The cast of Sword AF are all amazing, I think they're doing great in creating their character since it made me felt connected with them, their chemistry on each other are also felt real. I love all of our main characters, made me want to do adventures with them too. I just figured that these cast were also having another content too which I'll watch while waiting for SAF S2. Other than that, the DM, my guy here doing an awesome job in narrating the story, giving life to this series, the worldbuilding is perfect, very fantasy like, but also making a lot of NPCs that are good too, bonus some backstories, also doing very well in acting and voicing lots of characters, I personally think it's some very cool skill right there. A lot of appreciation also goes to the whole team that put a lot of work on this series, the music, the character design, the editing, everything mixed into a bowl resulting in a soup of masterpiece. Thank you so much for Smosh Games on making this lovely content. I can't wait for season 2 now.
I love how funny this is but I won't lie, the serious moments are really what draw me in. Seeing the cast build characters that want to do right and grow together is so fun for me
I was literally just looking at starting this series, so a compilation is exactly what I needed! Perfect, thanks!❤
I’m new to the community of D&D and watching all of this sent me through loops of emotions, it was amazing seeing everyone come up with so much! I can’t wait for Season 2 💛
Perfect timing for the perfect video! THANK YOU! I'm working on a project and this being posted is the best thing ever, just made my day 1,000 times better!
This one is so amazing to just put in the background, the story flows so well it's even hard to say when an episode changes.
The fact that I just spend the last weekend watching the whole thing and I finished YESTERDAY for you guys to post it all in one video!!! LOL binge again will be SOOOOO Much easier
Kudos to Damien for being an incredibly engaging DM! Such a fun campaign and he goes with the flow really well too
Already rewatched it twice, but now that it's all wrapped into one video i guess i have to again. Loved this so much and so excited for season 2💚
I’m already tearing up at Bug’s epilogue and then seeing Angela getting emotional over her baby’s growth and happy ending just sealed the deal. Bug is everything I love in a protag. Plus he shares a name with my cat :) ❤
Amazing!! Like I cannot express how I felt about this. It’s so well done and emotional in a way. I gotta give props to all the people who worked on this amazing series, the cast and of course Damien who truly is amazing dungeon master and awesome at immersing us in the story that he was telling and the voices? Spectacular. I’m so glad I have been part of this.
Excited for season 2!
