GRIM HOLLOW, THE PLAYERS GUIDE: bit.ly/35RlYPr

PATREON: / xptolevel3
TWITTER: / xptolevel3
DISCORD: / discord
Shia LaBeouf is a challenge rating 25 monster. You can't just simply expect him to appear that early in the campaign!
He's a reoccurring adversary, that is only at the beginning for foreshadowing purposes, the party isn't intended to fight him yet, just hint at his connection to the ponies and their fetish for castrating humanoids.
@@futuza ... what kind of homebrew campaign are u running
If the players truly had options you'd let them wonder into the end-game area of the northern woods if they so chose.
Our DM actually threw Shia LaBeouf at us at level 6. Gunslingers are just unfair. Killed him in one turn (of course he didn't stay dead, but still)
@@terrenaven that clearly wasn’t Shia. If he died in one turn must’ve been a fake
"Time for a spooky campaign"
Translation: Let's play Curse of Stradh.
I was low-key thinking of doing this
Someone in the party: "I already played this like 3 times...."
I was thinking of a more original game werein the party faces off against Ghost and mostly incorporeal undead. The all play Artificers based in a major urban land scape with magically crafted packs and wands. They use said Arcane packs to trap the ghost for a fee. The ongoing joke would be they are actually an over glorified pest controll start up bussi- Ohhh wait, this has been done before....
yeah our DND group this XD
One does not simply play Curse of Strahd
I'm running a grim hallow game now. It's good to be serious. But also to have comedic relief every once in a while to lighten up the mood
I'm doing the opposite for halloween this year. I plan on next game having the necromancer go wild with skelebones, and then for halloween night run a game where everyone plays as skeletons wreaking havoc in the town. I think it'll be awesome.
does the BBEG have his peepee and his butt
That’s my ultimate campaign; overall depressing but has moments of humor... Far more realistic than some over the top fairytale.
Me too
It's impossible to keep shit straight with my new group. At most it descends into Tales of the Crypt in zero coma.
What the DM is saying "Let's do a spooky, ambiance game!"
What the players are hearing: "Let's crank up penis jokes and cultural references by 10000%"
Every body gangster till theres a spooky dnd one shot where everyone is an edgy elven rouge with 2 levels in warlock
nah, Blood Hunter (Profane) Tiefling!
Is this a reference of something? :O I mean, what's the theorycraft behind this?
Why elven?
@@futuza Because Elves.
Why do they have to be specifically red colored?
>Castle of the Two Sisters
>Illuminated by moonlight
"What is this? MLP?" I thought.
BOY WAS I IN FOR A SURPRISE.
I know right. I shared the video on a Server before watching the entire thing with the comment. "Hmmmm. Castle of Two Sisters." Then the references kept coming.
Me to XD
Now I'm just imagining Starswirl spamming fireball.
I was going to type something about nightmare moon but then he actually pulled out a mlp book. Didn't think he was actually referencing from mlp. 0.0
I once was searching for D&D stuff to buy and somehow I stumbled across a D&D themed My Little Pony set.
Hot take: the mechanics of DnD don’t encourage people to take horror games seriously because they’re meant to be empowering. Make them use a homebrew commoner class so they have 1d4 HP and no weapon proficiencies, that’ll make them act like horror protagonists.
Or play Call of Cthulhu
Ravenloft AD&D was pretty good. Grim Hollow is OK, but yeah, after a few levels in, there is just no edge.
Just play CoC
If your doing homebrew horror theme dnd campain (possibly a one shot), I have two perfect monsters for that. (False hydra, or maybe a swamp hag),
If your using one of those monsters then have your player's play as new characters but as children aspiring to become real adventures.
@@negative6442 Yes yes. CoC is the scariest shit because you actually start off as a fucking commoner who has to constantly strive and put themselves into 'ass danger' in order to actually git gud. Sidenote, I probably dedicated more time than I should've on my current character.... one ascension and max stats (as of now) of 125...
people: I will watch this
XP To Level 3: It was an add the entire time!!
I laughed, not even gonna lie
@@davidhollowelljr949 thank you for laughing
You thought it was a funny skit, but it was me, Ad-Sama!
I liked the video because of that reveal
@@futuza yes yes yes yes
I will use all of this knowledge in my upcoming Halloween session. Mind Flayer Dreamcrabs here we go
Mind flayers are cool
sans
I was thinking Shia LaBeouf immediately... I absolutely would have been that person 😂
I ran a spooky shia labeouf 1 shot in our curse of strahd game once and it fit in almost too well
You’re walking in the woods. There’s no one around and your phone is dead
_Actual. Cannibal. Shia LaBeouf._ :'D
My second-ever creative exercise to get into DMing was based off of Shia LeBeouf. I actually pulled off a very impressive nightmare sequence which left my players legitimately freaked out.
quiet, quiet...
Wait a minute.
Did Jacob *actually* buy a Tails of Equestria book just for a bit?
...Or is he...
A brony!? *Goosebumps end theme plays*
-Or he just has a niece or nieces or something and used it for the bit.
Edit: Holy crap it’s always the ones you never expect to blow up that do.
" is he...
A brony!?"
Thats the spooky dnd stuff I came for!
You stare into the abyss and out comes
A brony!!
Nooo!!!!! I bought it for the bit I swear!!!!
@@XPtoLevel3 sure sure.... i believe you....
@@XPtoLevel3 that's what they all say
20 seconds in, "The Castle of the Two Sisters."
Was that just a My Little Pony reference?
4 minutes in, "Can we not take Tails of Equestria seriously?"
Well... I guess it was...
First mistake: Not switching to Call of Cthulhu.
it is pretty mutch a given for halloween
call of cthulhu goes hard
@@AubinGaming00 It really do hit diffy
No need for CoC really, you can use just about any system for horror.
@@HuffleRuff
You can make soup in a puddle. You can microwave instead of bake. Doesn’t mean it’ll taste as good.
My favorite part about these skits is when they show people cracking up from the sheer silliness
Tales of Equestria- my little pony, friendship is DARK NECROMANCY!!!
Friendship is Sorcery
Friendship is a slow and insidious killer
Friendship is witchcraft.
@@durnsidh6483 UA-cam it.
You won't be dissapointed(?)
did the XP to lvl 3 gang just call themselves out?
0:41 This pretty much happened to me in a dnd game once. We were in a fight and the DM was alluding to an "unknown entity" that was approaching.
By the time it arrived, half the table was convinced it was Squidward.
I love an early Halloween episode!
Especially when everything in the skit is painfully accurate lmao
Idk if October 21st is early for Halloween
Not gonna lie, Jacob does look proper horror writer with that getup
It's okay if you lie, we don't mind
*I T W A S A N A D T H E W H O L E T I M E*
Never saw it coming
Wait...so im not the only one who has an irrational fear of Shia LaBeouf?
actual cannibal Shia LaBeouf?
quiet, quiet...
Theres an Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf warlok patron homebrew.
It's pretty solid tbh
If you didn't get the joke, there's an elaborate old skit on UA-cam about Shia LeBeouf being a psychopath killer.
Does that fear divide us?
I believe that fear to be in fact really rational
"He's following you, 'bout thirty feet back. He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint. He's gaining on you! What do you do?"
pee pee punch
Yolo. Cast darkness. Use my devil sight and MAIM THAT BITCH
running through the night *from shia lebeouf*
If you want something really scary just give the edgy player a rouge and the minmaxer a mystic
Ahh yes... Mystics... Mr. "hey you, youre a pacifist now"
Why would you give them red or do you mean Rogue and not rouge that’s is the French word for red
@@ceptonte
Why it was a question
Like why are you telling me to shut up
wtf
lol WoTC is like " fuck it, its the rouge class now."
You wanna give the edgy player red makeup? 😉
Then again, depending on what kind of edgy they are they might like that…
When describing what the crap tasted like I was expecting it to be described as tasting like G-Fuel.
I heard the castle of the two sisters and knew where it was going
Jacob: doesnt start with an add
Me: something...is amiss... oh its gonna be grim hollow
Esit: didnt see the mlp joke comming
2:48 - "Natural 1, if you wanna describe _that,_ DM."
And this is why when I want to go spooky, I run Call of Cthulhu.
1:47 with how 99% of these videos play out I'm convinced this is her default expression.
I ran a horror game 3 days ago and one character had a horse named Shia LaBeouf so when I heard "you see Shia LaBeouf" I honestly laughed. And my players act like that all the time. Ive heard them say the almost exact same things sometimes, like "but arent the plants alive?"
So good job, a perfect representation of an average horror game, at least the few I've experianced.
I was waiting for the big reveal that this was a MLP thing when I heard ‘Castle of the Two Sisters.’
It makes me want to actually put a campaign in Equestria and not actually tell the party.
I've already got ideas for MLP reference characters in my campaign, and I'm (most likely) not going to tell my friends. I'm excited to break out my Sombra BBEG.
Would they not notice from that fact that everyone is ponies?
In the famous words of M. Night Shyamalan, "What a twist!"
"Wait, were in a forest. Shouldn't we be surrounded by life?"
"Yes... You should be.... Still dead quiet."
that beginning reminds me of another episode⠀
"you go to the castle"
"did we say we're gonna do that?"
I mean hey, glad to see the Tails of Equestria games mentioned. It's a fun module
Wait that's an actual D&D module?
@@JT_Lich well kind of. It's kinda its own thing. Like pathfinder is different from DND while using the same ideas.
@@concordiaharmony2302 It does have its own Horror adventure called The Haunting of Equestria. They also did announce they will be making a full 5e supplement for MLP
@@josephdellavecchia7828 oh sweetness ^^ Thatll be fun to play with
@@josephdellavecchia7828 really i cant find anything about it online can you give me a link?
"Towards the castle of the two sisters."
Hmmm, I've heard that name before, but there is no way Jacob has watched that show, right?
3 minutes later
"C'mon guys, this is Tails of Equestria!"
Ah, so I guess he has.
>"It was an Ad the whole time!"
Well, this does make me want to buy a book. Where can I get that tails from equestria book?
"It was an ad the whole time!" Scariest part of the video tbh.
Want to scare your fellow players? Tell them that you're playing a Rogue with Expertise in Animal Handling, Arcana, History, and Nature.
?
So your basically just playing a ranger
@@bomberfett3439 How dare you? I would never stoop _that_ low.
"Tails of Equestria" livestream when?
I'm just envisioning a bloodhunter in a swamp chowing down on fecal matter with his bare hands while the Goosebumps theme plays.
Shame there aren’t any horror d&d games
Strahd “am I a joke to you?”
CoC: Yes, Strahd, you are.
As soon as you said castle of the Two Sisters I knew you were playing an MLP game.
I find playing music really helps create an atmosphere in ‘spooky campaigns’
When you said "The Castle of the Two Sisters," I immediately thought of MLP.
Does Jacob think Friendship is Magic? Apparently yes he does
Yup. Definitely an “oh no he didn’t” moment.
Oddly enough, I’m running Curse of Strahd tonight and my Tails of Equestria books are coming in the mail tomorrow. There was no connection between these two things until this video happened.
I do call of Cthulhu for my Halloween one shots. Players have loved it every time. It’s and easy game to learn and it’s a lot of fun!
when he said "castle of two sisters" I was like: MLP?
I still don't understand why they didn't have Wizards of the coast make the MLP rpg WHEN ITS OWNED BY HASBRO
"It was an ad the whole time"
Surprised Pikachu Face
This is how I like my ads. Introduced as quality OC which transitions shamelessly into full on advertising. 10/10 will watch again
Sometimes you gotta make your own horror.
Back in the day my group ONLY played in Ravenloft except for me, so when I offered to run a game set there for halloween they were all excited.
Imagine their faces when the mists covered covered them then cleared to reveal...a vibrant colored field of flowers and trees and...animated chocolate bunny's?
The domain was a combination of Candyland, the Wizard of Oz and Charlie and the Chocolate factory with a little bit of Hazel and Gretel thrown in for spice.
They found that the town's people had all been turned into life sized gingerbread cookies, that there was no source of non-candy food or drink at all.
They fought Dire gummy bears, the lollipop guild (dwarves driven insane who used giant sharpened lollipops as axes), the tinman (an iron golem) and eventually William the Wonked the supposed master of this domain, a mad elf wizard that lived in a secluded candy castle, that unbeknownst to the players served as the prison for Hanzel the MORBIDLY obese cannibal that craved naught but human flesh.
"Castle of the Two Sisters"
"Tails of Equestria"
Bucking knew it
Plot Twist: It was your droppings the Blood Hunter tasted.
I got to say, this is a heck of a lot better at getting me to notice an ad product than just mentioning a sponsor before or after
Me: hears castle of the two sister's
"Is this tales of equestria?"
"Their pee pees and their butts" I love Spencer
Cant wait to see what you guys end up doing for Halloween
You got me in this video. This is exactly how our d&d look like (mayby not DM much, but player's reactions 100%). 3:17 best fragment
About 2 minutes into the video i say to myself "They should play GRIM HOLLOW for the Spooks."
4:30 IT WAS AN ADD THE WHOLE TIME!!
Me looking down at my dice, oh look a 19 wisdom check
"It was an ad the whole time"
Yeah, we're used to it on this channel, we don't mind
“Castle of two sisters.”- Hang on a minute.
(Sees the book) - I friggen knew it.
Best crossover ad ever.
I knew there would be a Grim Hollow ad somewhere, but I was stuck to the screen. I was compelled to see how fantastic the transition was. Then it hit me, the whole video was an ad. Glorious.
this may be one of the funniest videos you've made god damn, i lost it at "Is he just shitting down the woods?"
" This was an ad the whole time"
i hate you i hate this i hate myself for laughing
Wizard: “I cast fireball”
You can throw all the ghost and incorporeal undead at me if you want to, but I know my Artificer with a special pack and wand attached ain't afraid of no ghost!
This video reminded me that i have to prepare for my game this weekend. So thanks Jacob.
When Werewolf: The Apocalypse meets Mage: The Ascention and you try ST'ing for a party of mages and weres
The moment you said castle of two sisters, i knew.
what makes the best spooky game is the unexpected one
in my star wars group we were playing our normal game around Halloween. we were told about an abandoned sand crawler to salvage, we got there and the jawas had been slaughtered years ago, their bodies stuffed down an elevator or stuck in the refining forge. we looked in the basement and the DM had paper to do body crunching noises. then we had to fight skeletal makeshift droids
.
none of us expected a spooky game as it was just our regularly scheduled game, making the horror more impactful
I'm DMing a Halloween one-shot for my friends on the 25th. And since it's in the spirit of halloween, it's got spooky stuff, but is mostly just dumb silliness(since our campaign is usually in a more gritty setting). The party will happen across dumb skeletons that speak common, just bickering to each other. There will be an overdramatic vampire boss, a Lich Skull that follows the party making halloween puns. And each character gets their own Halloween-themed magic item.
UMM UMMM UMMMMM ACTUALLY
There IS a horror-themed TTRPG based on my little pony. So ACTUALLY you're wrong.
I'm asking for a friend but what is this book
@@alexradion4210
its an old playtest made by fans i think. it was a game called 'poor unfortunate foals'
Right before you mentioned the castle of the two sisters I was thinking this would be a fun twist on an MLP campaign... I thought it was a coincidence but you're just that powerful.
my curse of strahd cast:
a mentally unstable artificer
an evil bard
a vengeance seeking druid
a completely normal warlock
a dwarf that lives/fights in a barrel
a rogue that just...does rogue things
This is by far your best video. Not that your other videos are bad, but this... ‘‘tis genius
The second he said Castle of the two sisters I knew
It's Shia the freakin' Bean, say it right or pay the price.
bro, that nat 1 was the perfect role to punish your party, you probably should have given him some kind of harmful sickness for eating poop
M Night Shyamalan should take a seat because that was the best damn twist I've seen.
"Castle of Two Sisters"?
"Dark Forest"?
....
This is My Little Pony isn't it?
I am pleased.
"It was an ad the whole time"
When is it not?
I feel this so much.
Last year I wanted to run a Ravenloft one-shot, and within five minutes my friends ruined the mood so much with their jokes that I couldn't remotivate myself to continue. At least they apologized for it.
It didn't dawn on me until right at the end of the sketch that this was a Grimhollow ad the whole time. Well done.

You made it dude!
Visible confusion
Me: Ayee got here early.
My brain: Yes, but you won't know what to comment.
I knew doing a pure horror game of DnD wouldn't work so instead, for a oneshot, I had the players start in a Hallow's eve festival where everyone was celebrating, but as the sun set and the moon came out, the story became darker and darker with actual monsters showing up among the costumed villagers. I didn't know if it would work at first but by the end of the night I actually got a few good scares out of them. I think the problem with "horror" oneshots is that there's usually not enough buildup of tension or suspense for the characters, so I decided to have more of gentle descent into fear and chaos.
i ran a horror game where the party has no prior memories of how they ended up in this ritsy town with the mayor's mansion on a hill. they were cordially invited to a ball where they danced and would roll a perception check every so often until they noticed different things being off like the faces of the dancers having cracks in them and the movements being somewhat mechanical until the lights flicked off and all the dancers vanished. the mansion no longer looking as immaculate as before the party explored and found various marionettes and dolls being manipulated by strings. they followed the strings into a den of webs where a demonic spider was manipulating them from.
I once held a quest where they had to investigate a village that ended up pretty much as a ghost town in a matter of days.
In there, the players managed to find a place where they could hear sobbing, after forcing some locks they found a group of four kids, sick and starving, they we're being sold as slaves soons but haven't seen their captors in a couple days so they were having a real bad time.
There was a very noisy boy, two girls one pretty, one with visible injuries and a very silent kid that never says anything, just communicated moving his head.
They rescued them but still had to continue the quest so they brought them along.
After fighting weird deformed monsters all through out, the party realized someone was messing with dark magic and eventually tried summoning something but miss gauged the ammount of "sacrifice needed" taking himself and the entire town along with him.
At some point the party split up and so did the kids, when meeting up one of the girls was missing, the pretty one, when asked about it the kids seems confused, specially when the mage said he had promised to keep all four of then alive.
Then the quiet kid, confused, finally started talking and said, "but when you rescued us... We were only three"
And right as i was about to call for an initiative roll, i saw the "unnerving reflex" on two of my players as well as a lot of confusion and surprise in the other two.
I someone managed to make the noisy kid's roleplay in a way that the player interaction wasn't odd for the other kids, while never having the other kids interact with him.
And as they finally figured that out, i called for an initiative roll for the quest's climax.
It was one of my proudest moments as a DM
Love the usual content, but I was crying throughout this. I'm still trying to breathe. Oh geez. This is basically how our call of cthulu campaign went before we all gave up and went back to dnd.
One of my PCs ran a scary homebrew game as his first time DMing. It was actually real spooky.
I was in what was planned to be a spooky game the night before Halloween, which got derailed because the DM had a card player in the tavern with a magic item he rolled on. It was the Deck of Many Things and he used an online generator to draw the cards. He thought we'd be scared, but we went for it. Ended up spending all night drawing cards. What's funny is the generator was broken, so none of us ended up getting anything bad. As soon as we quit because it was time to log off for the night, the DM draws one more card out of game to see what happens. It's Ruin. ;)
Was a fun night of Russian Roulette. Half of the party jumped from level 5 to 9. Our Ranger is deciding if his cards were so good that he's going to retiring from adventuring.
In my current campaign, I unintentionally once ran an incredibly scary session (according to my players). The campaign focuses on an invasion of a swarm of creatures called Svärmfa from a faraway universe. Svärmfa are basically like slivers from MtG: highly adaptable to absolutely any and every situation they come across, and they share these adaptations with other nearby Svärmfa.
The players were on an island that the Svärmfa had a colony on, and were camped out for the night. They had leomund's tiny hut up, right in the middle of a village of slaughtered orcs. The players kept waking up during the night, but couldn't figure out why. Eventually, a player rolled high enough to figure out that a bunch of fully invisible Svärmfa had surrounded them. I was just playing this group of the creatures like I thought they would act: stealthy, waiting in ambush, striking from just out of reach. The players eventually figured out how to deal with them, and used AoE spells to cause the Svärmfa to drop their invisibility.
I was pleased with how the players got out of the situation. What I didn't expect was how apparently terrifying this ability was. The players seemed deeply concerned about the prospect that the Svärmfa could just be invisible anywhere, and have been on high alert ever since.
the beginning where the video said 'this video is sponsored by...' bla, bla, bla, I thought my headphones weren't working, and so I turned my volume up to max, and so when the video then started, my ears died.
The fact that it was an ad the whole time scared the hell out of me. Quite the twist M. Night.
I love it. That was probably ly the best advertisement I have watched in a long time.
Glasses Jacob proved the Clark Kent effect works
As someone who loves horror punk, it's nice to see Halloween as fun spooky stuff, like, it's more of a horror comedy, and that fits DnD pretty well
Me and my friends mostly homebrew and almost always play horror campaigns and one shots. We have our main campaign on sundays and then do something we call Friday Night Spook Shots, where we do horror one shots playing ourselves, and take turns GMing them.
We’re obsessed with horror I don’t think we know how not to turn our stories horror
There was a one-shot I played in where the twist was there was a changeling that would capture, then masquerade as a party member one by one. It eventually turned out to be Shia Lebeouf, and the monk in the party, after becoming a double amputee, was the only one able to damage him. Best 3 hrs ever.
Oml I was just running a “spooky” DnD game for my scout group and this literally all happened plus they set the Tiefling on fire and tried to interrogate flesh golums
Lol, this is ironic because one of the first adventures I did with my players (when we were transitioning from Lost Mine to my homebrew world) was one where I created a beast for them to fight based on that song. Their "anger" when they figured out what I was doing approached Dad Joke levels of fun-rage.
I have the same refrigerator. The ice dispenser door doesn't make a tight seal and you end up with a ton of condensation dripping into the little tray
"It was an ad the whole time" has the same energy as "We're sponsored by G Fuel now."
