    The first four chests they got at the start was basically the pre order DLC that the game launches with lmao

    Jacob's DMing got hands. Every NPC seemed like a complete person. Nobody seemed like set dressing, these are all real people in my head. I'm inconsolably excited for more.

      Thank you, I really appreciate this! NPC's have been my weakness as a DM for a long time, I've never felt that my NPC's were anything more than just jokes, set dressing, people who tell the plot at you, or people who need something from the players. I love creating scenes, writing fun rules, and making monsters. But when it comes to making characters that feel like real people, I've always struggled. I worked hard to make the NPC's in this game feel more real than in my past games. So just wanna say I appreciate this comment

    When I saw that Caius was a warlock, all i could say is "of course Spencer is playing a warlock again" can't blame her tho, i love them too

    • @XPtoLevel3
      @XPtoLevel3 6 місяців тому +22

      Hell yeah, warlocks are awesome. Though I’m also here to “um actually” this comment cause the only other warlocks Spencer has played are Lamarcia from Evenfall, who was crossclassed and also not really her main character to the campaign, and Rosealie from Saltmarsh, who was also crossclassed and also was like 4 years ago.
      All to say that she has a very cool character here and I’m really excited to have her playing a warlock, cause I’ve RARELY got to see her do it.

    Audio mixing needs improvement. Its often hard to understand some guys. Cranking the volume up only makes the ears bleed, when you guys laugh.

    • @PandaKnightsFightingDragons

      That's pretty normal sadly. It's either the quality of their mics or a conscious decision to offset ppl (mostly Jacob) randomly getting really loud

    Guys, the sound quality could use some work. I need to turn my volume all the way up to hear Jacob clearly and Anastasia's player at all. But then somebody will make a loud noise or several of you will talk at once, and I'm deafened. I know that's mostly a budget issue, but the stream is almost unwatchable... or rather, un-listen-able.

    Guys, could you please make the audio a little bit louder? I am listening to you on headsets with max volume and it's still quiet.
    As a consequence, when youtube plays an advertisement or when someone sends me a message it's super-loud :(

    Hello Jacob, a question for the DM, can you weaponize Floating Disc? If I am able to cast it within a space that is to small for it to fit, will it crush all the soft and squishy things occupying that space with force damage. If the answer is, yes of course, what would you like me to roll for damage when cutting someone in half in this fashion?
