Trott knows exactly what he's doing, hes played this game as a player and DM'ed Curse Of Strahd in private games... Hes gonna do some ridiculous shit. You can already tell Trott knows Barovia lore because he's playing a character from that world.
I am SUCH a fan of the man of few words Xiros. It is a character that isn't the easiest to do right, but when done right, is so so SO fun to watch. when Xiros said "we play his game" I got chills down my spine it was such a good delivery! Kudos!
Everybody is it killing with their character play! Loving Kim in her Tabaxi (shadow domain?) cleric. Loving Trott providing his bardic introduction to the story. Excited to see Tom making a complete character switch with a brooding, provocative fighter. Rhiannon, bringing light and color as she always does. Happy to see Katie a bit more on the foreground, being a wild elf in Aerois isn't easily a prominent role. And Marks storytelling really sets the scene with these dark stories (it really brought life to Lightfall descent)! Looking forward to the next episode!
I work at a grocery store and I'm the only source of income for my family currently. Recently I've been working 50 hours every week and I've just been exhausted. Today was my only day off this week, and I woke up to my boss texting me and telling me I had to come in for 4 hours. 4 turned into 5, then 6, then 8, and finally 10. I worked 10 hours with no break today and I was on the verge of breaking. I was laying on my floor crying, when I checked my phone and saw this upload. You guys have been a constant source of support and entertainment for me, and I can't thank you enough for what you do. I wish I was able to catch your Livestreams, and I wish I had money to give you guys as a way of thanks, but I do cant do either these days. Seriously I thank you from the bottom of my heart, keep up the amazing content!
Stay strong and thanks for putting in the hours so all of us can live "normal" in these times. Also fuck a system that isnt prepared for situations like this and makes great people like you slave away!
I know it doesn't help when you're at your lowest, and things feel close to breaking... But you are an absolute rockstar. You working so hard, dealing with panicking communities, you are keeping everyone fed. Your family, and the customers who come in and give you a hard time. You are well over full time hours, I'd demand overtime pay. It's what you've earned. Thank you for your endurance, we absolutely need you.
Loved it! You all did so well with the stream. Can be so awkward sometimes speaking over one another in groups I've been part of, but you guys managed it really well! Loving the theme and can't wait to see how the story and characters develop
Such a great start. I just bought the campaign and will be DM-ing it soon for a group of friends. It will also be my first game as a DM and I wasn't even sure where to start with it and this has helped with so many ideas and creative ways to go with it. So excited to see where you guys go with it!
@@Dave_L913 Honestly my biggest question isnt why its more just how? Like each greatswords about 1.5m long if not a little longer, where the hell are you storing 3 of those in a way that you can still fit through doors
I'm wondering if it's not a coincidence that Paultin (a Vistani) was revealed to have an ancestor in DCA called Jesper (or Yesper, I've seen both spellings used online), and Chris is playing another Vistani bard called Yesper. Although Yesper is a sample name in the Curse of Strahd adventure book.
Well this is awesome! I literally ran my first game as a DM ever last night, and we are playing Curse of Strahd! I cant wait to follow this along! My players made it to the dungeon in Death house, but haven't started exploring it just yet!
I've had trouble getting into high roles bc I like to start at the beginning and that's kinda a intimidating number of episode (same with CR but they had a 2nd campaign) love this new campaign
With Tracadia from the Unexpectables being based on Curse of Strahd and PuffinForrest doing videos on him Curse of Strahd campaign...I was curious about learning more about the campaign. So I'm glad the High Rollers are doing a campaign! :D
Same here. Big time fan of all three though I didn't know that about tracadia (out of the three the unexpectables is the one I'm newest to). So looking forward to this.
1:32:33 - "What is it like, not having a soul?" "What is it like _having_ one?" Barovian soullessness sounds like it has some superficial resemblances to the autism spectrum.
Oh snap I just finished playing CoS this past January, right before everything went down. That campaign went for a little over 2 years, so excited to see what these guys bring to it!
@@TheStartrek99 lets be fair if your Dm Isn't modifying Some Things about a campaign Book they arint really doing it right .... I always feel Takeing elements from Your players backstorty is important so you should always add Content or Modify Stuff to fit that into the module Like With ToA my Dm Implimented Charecters from my backstory into the campaign... he also added an entire dungon for us When we were helping an NPC return a Ring He had from the place he stole it from long ago ..... As a New DM I strive to be like that when I get the courage to run a full campaign insteed of oneshots .....
I am so damn hyped for a new Curse of Strahd adventure!! :D Also, I *need* Chris Trott to rekindle his romance with Escher. Please, ever since Falkon my heart has been broken for this poor boy! Loving all of the characters so far, and excellent job setting the mood, Mark!😊 Already enjoying the little twists you put into the story, and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this!!
The mansion scene is genius and I can’t wait to steal your take on it. It introduces the characters to Strahd’s obsession with Ireena while also revealing a weakness of vampires, all while creating an exciting scene instead of just describing things that already happened.
This is amazing!! I have not played Curse of Strahd, but I have the Castle Ravenloft boardgame. Looking forward to this story with all of you guys! Thank you for making working from home a lot more entertaining!
Wow. A new mini campaign? Awesome. I'm still working through Aerois vids, so hope I don't get too confused but happy to be able to comment on active episodes! Thanks High Rollers!
...wish I'd know this was airing back when it came out, the start of lockdown was difficult for me and I filled life with D&D, yet somehow I missed this!
Okay, Hulmes has become a vampire he looks about 17-20 years old in this video. Jokes aside, an awesome job like always and really enjoy the video, just what I needed right now. So thank you for your hard work all on the High Rollers :)
This was so good that I had to stop for a bit because my face hurt from smiling so much. Now that I've watched the other half, oh boy! I can't wait for the next one, no really get on it, I need me some more HR D&D, I love you all, these videos really make me so happy, thank you!
Loving this, our group is currently doing the same thing. Running through CoS while unable to play our regular homebrew campaign. My character Ceara is very similar to Xiros in the stand-off no nonsense sort of character, thought i'm playing a Shifter (so big werewolf vibes). Loving all the new characters and definitely going to keep watching this.
I love it! This is great, a new HR campaign and it's with imo one of the best villains ever! Woot woot. And please more post-session talks since it really interesting to see how you guys think when starting new characters.
In most DnD campaigns, the PCs plunge head first into danger. The best part about Strahd is that the players will be hesitant and terrified to investigate a single scream
LOL when trott held up that starbucks cup i died of laughter... to be honnest though i admit as a American it is such a need in our daily lives that starbucks could probs buy america
Watching this while I wait for the next Aerois episode and it's so good! Very different tone than main campaign, but horror is one of my favourite genres so I love it!
All of the ladies look like a million spooky dollars! Thank you for continuing to stream (unlike some other D&D streams I can think of...) It means more than you know. Can't wait for all the vampy goodness. Cheers!
Me, Newbie D&D player, Barley knows about Strahd: Eh, Let's check this out wonder what this Strahd is all about Strahd: **Makes an appearence** Me: **Intimidated levels instanly reached 100** I AM SCARED
i’m here from where trellimar had to leave the lightfall campaign, i needed a break for a little while and i was VERY happy to see y’all did CoS! y’all look so different from three years ago!
You presume that they're going to survive the stream. Oddly enough (very slight spoilers ahead) the sequel to I6 Ravenloft (which Curse of Strahd is based on) is called I10 Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill and it actually starts with the end of the first adventure, and having Strahd kill all the adventurers. Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume I also makes reference to a group of adventurers assaulting Castle Ravenloft and being destroyed too. Which kinda makes the canon ending to this adventure a TPK.
@@paulpenna5615 Also if a full party even makes it to Strahd. If they go exploring and end up in death house I'm curious to see how that would pan out.
I actually had a thought along that line. Run a team through the first Final Fantasy but each crystal is a different D&D campaign. The earth crystal being Curse of Strahd since the Earth fiend was Lich.(a powerful undead is close enough for me). Then something fitting each of the other elements.
My group played CoS a few years ago, I was a tiefling warlock and the others were a human paladin and a dwarf war cleric. Excited to see how you guys cope with the horrors!
I feel like we get so few Xiros' in streamed D&D campaigns. one 19 in his stats session 1, but two 7's. Three swords, no other weapons. He knows what he's about. Jokes aside, I'm starting to see why people love COS. It's kind of like LOZ: Breath of the Wild. At the center of the game setting, there is a huge castle full of fatal terrors and an ancient evil king. While there's plenty to do and plenty of quests to go on, you know your end goal as soon as you start, and it's destroying that ancient evil. The protagonist(s) can technically go and try to fight that evil whenever they feel ready, and they will either succeed or die trying.
Been watching a yt fella called puffin forest narrating his experience playing this module. Only just stumbled across you guys doing this, so am catching up now. Also Mark been a little while since I last saw you on cam, must say fella you looking very youthful mate. To the rest you're looking as wonderful as I remember. Regards.

I like it how trot keeps switching between lucius and yesper
Tears in my eyes when Shadow says to the soulless barkeep "My heart breaks for you, friend."
Proper props to Yesper for keeping the roleplaying afloat
I like that one of the players is taking the place of something that is typically the job of an NPC, getting the group together.
Trot has DM'd Curse in his own time as well as been a player in it himself at times. He knows his shit.
Love Trott's accent accent in this. Yesper is such a cool character
I like how yesper almost always sounds like he’s on the verge of crying 😂
I would be too, Curse of Strahd is an excellent story, but I just reeeally hate being the one playing it. It sucks to exist in Barovia lol
That's the trauma speaking through him
"sorry? ...Sorry..." 45:50 the delivery on that line holy shit
Loved it! You all did so well with the stream. Can be so awkward sometimes speaking over one another in groups I've been part of, but you guys managed it really well! Loving the theme and can't wait to see how the story and characters develop
Kim's RP is already gonna be my favorite of this campaign I can already tell!
The moment Chris brought that voice from his heavenly face I knew I'd be watching every single episode ❤
Man, Kim voices a perfect cat lady. Looking forward to more!
Can’t wait for mark to scream “what is a man” and throw his glass across the room.
I understood that reference
“A miserable little pile of bonds, ideals and flaws!”
A miserable pile of secrets!
Kim looks great. The Goth look suits her.
She went through that phase once
Agreed
Katie's hair tho 😍

Has 3 greatswords strapped to his back somehow. Yep definitely a DnD character.

Gotta one up those witchers! They only carry two swords.

Me: "Who the heck is that?"
if it wasn't for the voice.. I would've had no idea it was really him.. Was sooo confused to begin with
Hi hair looks good tho
Adds flavor for me that Cam and Mark were guests on the Dice Camera Action Curse of Strahd campaign. OH the dark tales we shall see! Two thumbs up!!!
I'm wondering if it's not a coincidence that Paultin (a Vistani) was revealed to have an ancestor in DCA called Jesper (or Yesper, I've seen both spellings used online), and Chris is playing another Vistani bard called Yesper. Although Yesper is a sample name in the Curse of Strahd adventure book.
Well this is awesome! I literally ran my first game as a DM ever last night, and we are playing Curse of Strahd! I cant wait to follow this along! My players made it to the dungeon in Death house, but haven't started exploring it just yet!
I love this!! Great Idea Mark. Start something new while we're all stuck at home looking for good streams.

Mark's clean shaven face is like that episode of Schitt's Creek where Mutt shaved his beard. Um, we didn't talk about this.
I needed some extra TTRPG content. Thanks, my dudes.
Oooooo can’t wait for more of this! This new campaign sounds sooo cool
@53:55 "can you touch me again cat?" truely horrible
already love the characters. Thanks for doing this
Soooooo hyped. I already love these characters
Shadow Beyond the Veil, dope naming convention...I've got an Air Genasi Sunsoul named Tall Cloud Cut by the Sun :)
Maybe after you guys finish this module you could continue the same parties adventure just in a different module
You presume that they're going to survive the stream. Oddly enough (very slight spoilers ahead) the sequel to I6 Ravenloft (which Curse of Strahd is based on) is called I10 Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill and it actually starts with the end of the first adventure, and having Strahd kill all the adventurers. Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume I also makes reference to a group of adventurers assaulting Castle Ravenloft and being destroyed too. Which kinda makes the canon ending to this adventure a TPK.
@@paulpenna5615 Also if a full party even makes it to Strahd. If they go exploring and end up in death house I'm curious to see how that would pan out.
I actually had a thought along that line. Run a team through the first Final Fantasy but each crystal is a different D&D campaign. The earth crystal being Curse of Strahd since the Earth fiend was Lich.(a powerful undead is close enough for me). Then something fitting each of the other elements.
Trott's voice reminds me of his character in dice camera, action
First time Katie hasnt played an elf of sorts hehe. (Minus dungeon of the mad mark) I like all these characters.
My group played CoS a few years ago, I was a tiefling warlock and the others were a human paladin and a dwarf war cleric. Excited to see how you guys cope with the horrors!
I feel like we get so few Xiros' in streamed D&D campaigns. one 19 in his stats session 1, but two 7's. Three swords, no other weapons. He knows what he's about.
Jokes aside, I'm starting to see why people love COS. It's kind of like LOZ: Breath of the Wild. At the center of the game setting, there is a huge castle full of fatal terrors and an ancient evil king. While there's plenty to do and plenty of quests to go on, you know your end goal as soon as you start, and it's destroying that ancient evil. The protagonist(s) can technically go and try to fight that evil whenever they feel ready, and they will either succeed or die trying.
This sounds like it is straight from darkest dungeon and I love it!
Wow love the interesting twist and changes for this campaign!
Sounds like this campaign would be great for a witcher type character
Mark's hair looks SO different! I just came from a re-watch of DCA and I can't believe how different he looks! Kind of reminds me a bit of Escher tbh.
What?! This is completely replacing the main campaign?! Gasp!
Ho I know, I always skip the first few minutes so there couldn't have been an explanation as to why they're playing this and not Aerois
@@mme.veronica735 the sarcasm is amazing, i love it hehe
Mme. Veronica thats very complex sarcasm my mind is over. heating. please. Be. Simple. Thank. You.
Wait, this is replacing the main campaign? Whose been doing the main campaign these past 3 months?!? Le gasp 2!!!
OMG I love Kate's hair
Been watching a yt fella called puffin forest narrating his experience playing this module. Only just stumbled across you guys doing this, so am catching up now. Also Mark been a little while since I last saw you on cam, must say fella you looking very youthful mate. To the rest you're looking as wonderful as I remember. Regards.
im gonna dm curse of strahd for the first time so i figured id watch this to help me out so far this is a good playthrough
I'm here from Eveningstar! Super late but glad to be here now~
Listening to the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Elfsong Tavern theme whilst watching this, perfect ambience.
44:49 Me Warforg Fighter Centurion TITUS. Decimus Legionis: Is this the devil?
MD: Yes.
TITUS: I charge to grapple the devil!
1:46:53 TITUS: You again! I punch the devil in the face.
I am really liking the streaming setup the more I watch it
Is anyone else in love with the DM’s bookshelf?
yup. actually inspired me to re-jig my office set-up.
WHO IS THIS !!! what have he done with mark !!! Dim darn doppelgangers !!!
I know right his hair looks so different and his amazing beard is gone
Finally caught up on Aerois, now I have Strahd to binge-watch >:D
Does anyone else notice that the font for "curse" is just a slightly modified Doom font?
I mean that font has been around since 90s clip art babe.
Its ok, I think its a 2000's baby showing itself
