Ha, yep! I listen to Vox Machina on Critical Role, and had been meaning to watch Deborah as a DM for a while. The Bernthal clip prompted me to actually have a listen
As much as I like your comment, lets give this woman some credit...she is Matt Mercer in female form. Well without the amazing hair admittedly but still this woman is killing it
@@somethingsomethingsomethingdar - Saying how cool the set is (and joking that it's Taliesin's living room) doesn't take anything away from how well Deborah did. Both can be acknowledged.
SO GOOD! Deborah Ann Woll is a treasure. Such an amazing performer and DM. Everyone else was equally as great. The interactions between the players was so seamless and fun.
The most compelling thing I find about Deborah's DMing and this whole R&R thing is that it's all very whimsical. From the setting and the choosing of the items at the start to elements like the door that needed a joke to open. Also, her versatility to portray different characters and voices is very good. This is pretty good actually and it's fun when the players have fun.
@@SplitGoose that's a misnomer, most actors are very good at playing many different characters but only get cast as one type, for the sake of box office spoils. I will say though she is extremely committed to her strong choices and sells them well!
@@bortzgreg No, I understand typecasting. But the majority of actors can only play one character very well. It takes a top level actor to play multiple characters convincingly.
Reminds me of Dumbledore lol "hey Harry here's this thing that might be literally life saving but I'm not gonna give you actually any details as to how or why"
@@millersj They still have Twitch, but yay for this! "We regret to announce that effective March 31, 2019, we will be closing Alpha." www.twitch.tv/geekandsundry
I've been playing D&D since I was eight years old and I am just shy of fifty. Yes, that long. I haven't played D&D with my buddies since spring so I thought I would fire up some UA-cam D&D videos while I worked on our current campaign. I remembered reading somewhere that Deborah Ann Woll played D&D and that led me to this video. Once I started it....I got nothing else done! I even paused it, grabbed my lovely wife, restarted it and had her watch it with me. I would have paid money to a theatre to see this. THIS is what D&D is supposed to be. I get it that we all play differently but I believe Gary Gygax would tell Deborah and her merry band of adventures that he is proud to see his legacy played so artfully, full of life, mischief, and camaraderie. Bravo!
Lots of (fully deserved) love for Deborah Ann Woll and her amazing DMing skills, but I thought the rest of the cast killed it here too. All the PCs are distinct and well realised, everyone committed wholeheartedly to the RP, which makes for a really fun game to watch. Props all round, and I am really looking forward to future episodes.
Something I LOVE about the set design is just how open and immersive it is; the enormous rooms with incredibly eye-catching and unique props that are visible but deep enough in the background to not be claustrophobic. And this is absolutely magnified by the player dynamics! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Debora Woll isn't using a DM screen but instead just has a notepad to her side, as well as the players having very minimal player-space, with nothing too in the way or out of place, stylistically. These are all just fun aesthetics and eye candy, but I am super impressed with all the work and thought that went into this episode.
"A dirty 20, my favorite kind." I love D&D, I've played off and on for 20 some years. Always something new (to an individual) even if it's old. Had never heard 'Dirty 20', but it's efficient and spot on. Nice!
Matt Lillard somehow thought: "I wanna be the guy that senses supernatural stuff, I see no reason why this could end bad for me." To be fair, he has a much better grip on his psychic skills than his role in 13 Ghosts.
@@SgtNuker He was easily my favourite character. The only other rolls I know him from are Shaggy from the Scooby-Doo!-Franchise and Stu Macher from Scream, though.
@@rettwoods Now that you mention it, I think I remember hearing or seeing that he was in Twin Peaks. Never saw She's All That, but have at least heard of that movie.
Matthew Lillard is the best cheerleader I've ever seen in a gaming group. Every time he praises someone with *Well played* , the video gets that much better
This was outstanding. Great DM. Great players. Excellent camaraderie. No grandstanding. Cool puzzles and sets. Yes, this is my new favourite. Great work, everyone!
What an incredible cast for a D&D game... it was enthralling and so entertaining Deborah Ann Woll as the DM is amazing... no other words to describe her fantastic story telling ability... so engaging I really hope that this continues...Deborah Ann Woll and the Geek & Sundry team have created something truly captivating
As someone who just recently started playing D&D, i'm so glad to have this show almost as reference. It's just wonderful, and DAW is for sure the best DM ever
That farewell by Matthew was awesome! I got chills with how well everyone brought the story to life together. Binging this whole show today. Cant stop won't stop.
This is my first time experiencing / watching any significant portion of a D&D campaign, and goodness… I’m just blown away. The creativity, the immersion, the preparation of materials, lack of judgment, embracing this world and story… I have no words. Thank you for this, team, and excellent job all… especially Deborah, the DM!
Superb production quality. Very impressive. The set is gorgeous! Deborah Ann Woll's acting chops, man, shifts in her physicality, voice, mannerisms all small but effective. She's great as a DM. Her level of preparedness is quite remarkable too! She's so engaging and fun to watch. Different from both Mercer and Colville. The cast is so great too. Xander was wonderful on Shield of Tomorrow. a total natural. Matthew Lillard was hilarious. I'm looking forward to discovering all the others. Also excited about Charlie Cox, the daredevil himself to show up! Like so many others, I've been wanting to watch this ever since it was announced. Anyone know if this going to release weekly on youtube? or is this a teaser like the Calisto 6 Episode drop. Also still waiting for TBD RPG to come on over!
Didn't know that Charlie Cox was going to be on this, should be good. Personally waiting for Kevin Smith, just to see him play a character that speaks more than 5 lines lol
The urgency, the almost unnoticable tremble in Deboras voice and her colourful descriptions had me on the edge of my seat. The response of Sarah was exactly what I expected and still it gave me litteral chills and made me quite uneasy. I am godsmacked by her narration! Of course this only works so well because the players are seriously roleplaying and detailing their actions, which is great fun, I point to the moment that berries and coins were shared on the boat :) And how could I forget this absolutely fabulous set? Absolutely impressive and immersive I LOVE this!
What I love about this episode: I love the set and the props, but more importantly, I love how much the people in this video love the set and the props. I love how quickly and effectively Deborah Ann sets up the scene (the editing helps, but maybe a bit too much). It's awesome for one-shots and time-limited sessions, especially in the beginning when players tend to take their time looking around and settling in. That being said, I would've appreciated one-minute intros for each character, or better yet, a brief summary of how each character behaved during their last (fictional? pre-gamed?) adventure. I love the creepfest that begins at 24:48. Deborah Ann does a great job. I love the players, too, Every single one had a few amazing moments. I'm gonna go rewatch that interview with Matthew Lillard now.
Apparently this was recorded months ago, so forgive me when I say that I am only just now learning of this. HOWEVER, can we all just agree that having Matthew Lillard in this is AWESOME!!
@@SplitGoose I'm only guessing that there was a delay between when this video was recorded and when it was put on UA-cam. I guess that based on most of the comments saying people couldn't wait for this to finally air.
This group is killer. Great RP which is why it's so entertaining. Debra is killing it. I have watched this many times over the years and link back to these videos for people who play in my campaigns for them to get an example of what real RP is. Fantastic. You need a new season. Best on the internet, bar none.
I really enjoyed this. I found the scenario to be well prepared, the participants convincing, and the episode overall very entertaining. Ms. Woll, in particular, was an exuberant, relaxed and easy dungeon master who painted a very rich world. I'm looking forward to the future episodes and hoping the members reveal more of their backstory!
Wow! I enjoyed Deborah in True Blood and Daredevil / Netflix Marvel series. BUT she is so freaking amazing as a DM! She is definitely one of the best (if not THE best) out there. Some of these types of shows are scripted for the sake of telling a good story, but you can tell this one is a real campaign, and she is masterful at directing the players through the story. I'm going to have to binge the rest of the series now!
This has been my nostalgia watch, I have fond memories of watching this for the first time as my intro to DND. So glad others are picking this up and seeing how great a story it is
Came here from seeing Deborah on Adventure Academy. Worth it! 5 minutes in and she’s got me hooked. I really can’t wait to see more and I’m actively watching right now.
I'm so glad this got posted to UA-cam! Watching the way Deborah tells the story with her entire body is so inspiring. The way she uses her hands to describe things that could be quite mundane makes it exciting and fascinating the whole way through.
I found your show by accident and I’m blown away. I couldn’t get enough, I binged the whole thing as fast as I could. I’m amazed at how compelling you all made this D&D campaign. I never knew you could play the game like this. I think every single member of the cast and crew has a right to be extremely proud. The cast had me rolling over laughing and then the next thing I knew I was white knuckling it with nerves. Finally, Deborah Ann Woll is a treasure trove of story. We are all exceedingly lucky to have her telling them and I, for one, hope she never stops. Her style as a Dungeon Master was so giving and compassionate whilst still making sure the narrative marshaled on. It takes a great actor to share a stage well, but for a dungeon master to hand over the spotlight to her players as she did, truly remarkable. Ive no doubt you’ve inspired a lot of people to play the game because I’m certainly inspired to do so. And I’ll aspire to DM like Debora Ann Woll and play like Tommy Walker, Jasmine Bhullar, Julie Dennis, and Xander Jeannette. P.S. I’m sending this to all my friends and desperately crossing my fingers for season 2. Cue Annabella’s bardic inspiration!
Mercer shows how to make highly engaging campaigns! Woll shows how to make highly engaging one-shots! So glad there is so much room in the geek universe!
The thing i love about Deborah Ann Woll is that she is not just a great Actor and Dungeon Master, but she is extremely intelligent and combining all that makes her an awesome storyteller
1 Corinthians 8;6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. Also I want a season 2 of R&R Deborah is a jem.
Um how did I just find this I love it so much! Deborah is an AMAZING DM! PLEASE BRING MATTHEW LILLARD BACK FOR A WHOLE SEASON! THAT GROUP CHEMISTRY WAS GREAT!!!
This was very good, Deborah Ann Woll was electric. I'm glad it came to youtube, as much as I think everyone deserves to be paid and such, Alpha isn't going to have the same sheer amount of audience that this deserves.
A shining example of how this type of content should be done. Marvelous in so many ways, from the cast to the set to the editing and more. Also shout-out to this comment section for being so wholesome and unlike typical UA-cam comments. But that's just a G&S thing mostly.
Wow, Deborah Ann Woll is so freakishly quick as a GM! :O I cannot even comprehend how she is doing this! Amazing! This is a level I have to strive for very hard... just, no words! Loved already her adventure within the Stream of Many Eyes but this one is just perfect. I also love the players though I feel like some of them still need to find their footing and presence. But overall an amazing show! Thank you, everybody!
Well done - from concept, to design, to on-going story continuity.... and DAW is beyond good in this, she brings it. Looking forwards to more of these.
I just found this and my girlfriend and I have been litterally glued to it at the edge of our seats when the baby cradle starts to slowly sway......you have us hooked now
That's the best RPG in UA-cam... Omg I really love this, the caracters, the actors, and the master... Omg, THE MASTER, she's AMAZING... Pls continue with this!
Wow. The wait was worth it. I've roped my better half into the world of DnD and since we've started watching sessions we agree this was the best we've seen. DAW is an amazing DM and the entire group is great.
Very captivating!! Good job guys!! Can’t wait for the next one!! Hats off to Deborah!! The first time she interpreted the possession of Sarah’s body.... gave me chills!! 🥶👍🏻
OK: I looked it up for anyone who is late this series (as I was): Tommy Walker: Veros, a human fighter; Xander Jeanneret: Rikki, a gnome druid; Julia Dennis: Annabella, a human bard; Jasmine Bhullar: Beryl, a half-orc Barbarian. The DM is Deborah Ann Woll. And they are all wonderful. Rikki and Beryl stole my heart almost immediately; but the entire ensemble is great!
Ok. I'm fairly certain that Deborah is now my favourite DM. I've been a fan of Matthew Lillard since Hackers so I enjoy watching him, and what a group! What a show! This is excellent and I can't wait to see more.
Thank you so much for putting this on UA-cam. As everyone has mentioned, the set is beautiful. DAW is an amazing story teller. It is an absolute joy to watch these people play.
I am in love with this! Deborah Ann and everybody in this production did a fantastic job! Everyone! Keep this series alive with tons of love and support! I would do that too!
Oh my word! What an a brilliant idea this show is! I absolutely love the set, Deborah’s storytelling is engrossing and the whole theatrical experience is amazing. Bravo!
Wow guys! This was amazing, all the work put into the show is onvious and fantastic. and detail in post of pictures during to show a visual is amazing! & dice cam!! Can't wait for next week!!
That may have been better than anything I've watched on television in years! Deborah, you are an amazing storyteller - please, write something that I can buy!
boy oh boy i really like the intro how they sit on a set and interact with it. good jobs guys the game is also fun to watch i kinda hook to this series
I really enjoyed this, I usually struggle to integrate puzzles into games but I felt like this was a fun whimsical way of doing it with puzzles that were more fun then trite or unsatisfying,

Anyone else come here from Real Ones with Jon Bernthal?
Sure am! My kiddos want to give DnD a try, and my DM skills are weak. Gotta level up and DAW is awesome 🤘🏼
Literally watched the pod before this and didn’t expect to be so deeply entertained. You can visibly see the passion she was talking to Jon about.
Yep 😅
I'm just sad that it took me this long and that there isn't more.
Ha, yep! I listen to Vox Machina on Critical Role, and had been meaning to watch Deborah as a DM for a while. The Bernthal clip prompted me to actually have a listen
Yuuuuup
So nice of Talisen to let Geek and Sundry film in his living room.
Don't be redicoulous, this is clearly his basement where he performs all his dark rituals
@@Fallingthalia No no, his basement is not fit for the sight of mortal eyes. Were we to look upon it, we would be consumed by unholy fire.

called it!
I had watched it when it came out but hadn't since and the clip you're talking about brought me back to it!
Deborah Ann Woll's performance while keeping the game flowing was inspirational. A marvel to watch.
Not sure if it was intentional, but nice Daredevil reference.
ISWYDT
SO GOOD! Deborah Ann Woll is a treasure. Such an amazing performer and DM. Everyone else was equally as great. The interactions between the players was so seamless and fun.
I just enjoy how excited Deborah is to have her own dnd game for us to watch.
Her style is very inviting.
Yeah, Its one of the things i have enjoyed must about this series, why i am hoping for more, Deborah's literal joy in playing.
Seriously! I'm so happy this is a thing, it's amazing.
She truly is loving this. She is very engaged with everyone on twitter too.
Is this techinically DND? I know it follows the rules of it but its not medieval fantasy
Deborah Ann Woll is an amazing storyteller. That's all I wanted to say.
I have been playing D&D since I was 10 and I am 50 now. I can say without any doubt Deborah is one of the best Dungeon Masters I have ever observed.
Deborah: cackling, gargling and snarling as a demon
" can I cast?"
*in her normal voice* "yeah sure" *still on growling position*
She's freaking adorable
Do you have a time stamp for this moment??
@@mariavendora5545 28:28 I believe
Such a DM move
The only thing louder was the gears stripping in Deborah's brain.
The most compelling thing I find about Deborah's DMing and this whole R&R thing is that it's all very whimsical. From the setting and the choosing of the items at the start to elements like the door that needed a joke to open. Also, her versatility to portray different characters and voices is very good. This is pretty good actually and it's fun when the players have fun.
@Hector Lewis Which is still a suprise, given a fair majority of actors are only good at ONE character.
@@SplitGoose that's a misnomer, most actors are very good at playing many different characters but only get cast as one type, for the sake of box office spoils. I will say though she is extremely committed to her strong choices and sells them well!
I noticed that too, this kind of game suits her very well!
Her snarling possessed scene around 28min was great
@@bortzgreg No, I understand typecasting. But the majority of actors can only play one character very well. It takes a top level actor to play multiple characters convincingly.
And to think Matthew Lillard wasn't even using 1% of his power.
ZOINKS SCOOB 😨
It's actually pretty genius introducing special items without entirely giving away what they're for. SO GOOD
Reminds me of Dumbledore lol "hey Harry here's this thing that might be literally life saving but I'm not gonna give you actually any details as to how or why"

Great DM. Great players. Excellent camaraderie. No grandstanding. Cool puzzles and sets.
Yes, this is my new favourite. Great work, everyone!
So glad this is going on UA-cam now. Honestly a smart move on Geek and Sundry's part now that Critical Role is it's own brand and company.
Also Deborah Ann Woll makes this great!
Totally agree. I'm glad CR is doing well, and I will attempt to watch as much as I can. BUT ,,, Yes, hmmmm, this will do nicely.
And it's definitely something different both in tone and in presentation, so that it's not just "us trying to have our own CR".
What was it on before?
Woah that was THE BEST gamespace reveal ever! I think I'm gonna love this show
I need that in my house now
They have to pay rent though. Taliesin Jaffe owns it.

More of this is coming to UA-cam, right? Because that was hands down one of the best sessions I ever watched.
Mercer shows how to make highly engaging campaigns! Woll shows how to make highly engaging one-shots! So glad there is so much room in the geek universe!
The thing i love about Deborah Ann Woll is that she is not just a great Actor and Dungeon Master, but she is extremely intelligent and combining all that makes her an awesome storyteller
nice, I was hoping they'd bring this to youtube after seeing that interview with Matt Lillard
The pacing of this show feels nice and brisk. Quite a bit happens in a short amount of time. I love it!
Oh gods YASSSS! I’ve been waiting for this show for so long!
Ms Woll is such a treasure and an amazing DM!
Definitely hope this continues for ♾!
1 Corinthians 8;6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Also I want a season 2 of R&R Deborah is a jem.
Jasmine, Matt and Deborah just get me all in my feels. Shout out to Deb for being an INSANELY GOOD DM. 20/10
Um how did I just find this I love it so much! Deborah is an AMAZING DM! PLEASE BRING MATTHEW LILLARD BACK FOR A WHOLE SEASON! THAT GROUP CHEMISTRY WAS GREAT!!!
The production quality on this project is insane. And omg Deborah is such a good DM!!! I can’t wait to watch the rest of these!
Thank you for making this available on UA-cam! I'm incredibly excited about this campaign!
This is top quality DnD! 5 stars! 10/10! Amazing, emotional, artistic, just fantastic!
This was very good, Deborah Ann Woll was electric. I'm glad it came to youtube, as much as I think everyone deserves to be paid and such, Alpha isn't going to have the same sheer amount of audience that this deserves.
I'M SO HAPPY THIS IS FINALLY ON UA-cam
Watching Debora DM is a true pleasure experience. One of my favourite DMs and storytellers ever ❤
A shining example of how this type of content should be done. Marvelous in so many ways, from the cast to the set to the editing and more.
Also shout-out to this comment section for being so wholesome and unlike typical UA-cam comments. But that's just a G&S thing mostly.
Wow, Deborah Ann Woll is so freakishly quick as a GM! :O I cannot even comprehend how she is doing this! Amazing! This is a level I have to strive for very hard... just, no words! Loved already her adventure within the Stream of Many Eyes but this one is just perfect. I also love the players though I feel like some of them still need to find their footing and presence. But overall an amazing show! Thank you, everybody!
I mean tbf she is an actress... Would be pretty dissapointing if she was bad at improv
Well done - from concept, to design, to on-going story continuity.... and DAW is beyond good in this, she brings it. Looking forwards to more of these.
Just getting into the whole DnD scene and am loving it. Everyone does such a marvelous job here!!
same here I'm late to the party but it is such a treat to see this level of interaction and just shear fun from so many different ppl
I just found this and my girlfriend and I have been litterally glued to it at the edge of our seats when the baby cradle starts to slowly sway......you have us hooked now
Watch out Matt Mercer, Debrah Ann Woll is hot on the trail as being one of the best DM's!
@Hector Lewis oh im aware, Ive seen her a couple of times now. She was a great npc
Matt has GM’d her before in Force Grey DnD series. Obvious she knows what she is doing ( has also GM’d for one of the special DnD weekends). 💕💖
She also GM’d Mercer in the Stream of Many Eyes
She should DM for him
@@ariannaravenmcclare She already has, in "The Stream of many Eyes" Oneshot.
That's the best RPG in UA-cam... Omg I really love this, the caracters, the actors, and the master... Omg, THE MASTER, she's AMAZING... Pls continue with this!
Deborah Ann Woll. Is an amazing DM. Her story telling in this adventure is amazing
Wow. The wait was worth it. I've roped my better half into the world of DnD and since we've started watching sessions we agree this was the best we've seen. DAW is an amazing DM and the entire group is great.
Very captivating!! Good job guys!! Can’t wait for the next one!! Hats off to Deborah!! The first time she interpreted the possession of Sarah’s body.... gave me chills!! 🥶👍🏻
I thought she really hit her head on the table.😧
I just came from Geek Bomb in the middle of the video with Deborah because I didn't know this existed but I'm am really happy it does.
Omg I love this DM. She makes event for anything
OK: I looked it up for anyone who is late this series (as I was):
Tommy Walker: Veros, a human fighter; Xander Jeanneret: Rikki, a gnome druid; Julia Dennis: Annabella, a human bard; Jasmine Bhullar: Beryl, a half-orc Barbarian. The DM is Deborah Ann Woll. And they are all wonderful. Rikki and Beryl stole my heart almost immediately; but the entire ensemble is great!
That laugh at 3:10 actually can cure every problem in the world. 100% perfection.
I think my day was made a lot better!
Ok. I'm fairly certain that Deborah is now my favourite DM. I've been a fan of Matthew Lillard since Hackers so I enjoy watching him, and what a group! What a show! This is excellent and I can't wait to see more.
Cereal Killer.
@@kosto7845. Ah, a man of quality! 👌
Thank you so much for putting this on UA-cam. As everyone has mentioned, the set is beautiful. DAW is an amazing story teller. It is an absolute joy to watch these people play.
So good the use of props and music really grabs you into the session
So looking forward to this! Glad to see its up on UA-cam now!
Top notch DM with a strong rule-of-cool vibe. Great party dynamic too. Very good storytelling on both sides of the table.
Matthew Lillard makes for a great start. CAN'T WAIT for Kevin Smith's episode. You know that's gonna be some kind of fun.
I am in love with this! Deborah Ann and everybody in this production did a fantastic job! Everyone! Keep this series alive with tons of love and support! I would do that too!
Oh my word! What an a brilliant idea this show is! I absolutely love the set, Deborah’s storytelling is engrossing and the whole theatrical experience is amazing. Bravo!
I had to re-visit this campain, such a group, such a campain ! I think I'll have myself watching and learning from this many times again...
Wow guys! This was amazing, all the work put into the show is onvious and fantastic. and detail in post of pictures during to show a visual is amazing! & dice cam!! Can't wait for next week!!
I have absolutely LOVED Matthew Lillard since Hackers came out. He did so much with his character in that movie.
Love the parallels between this and Haunting of Hill House
That may have been better than anything I've watched on television in years! Deborah, you are an amazing storyteller - please, write something that I can buy!
wish granted!
Aaaa thank you for making this available, I've wanted to watch this forever!
She's the kind of GM i would want.
Such a treat to watch.
boy oh boy i really like the intro how they sit on a set and interact with it. good jobs guys the game is also fun to watch i kinda hook to this series
I've never cried during a d&d game, and the scene between Sarah and Mary made me tear up. Well done!!
I really enjoyed this, I usually struggle to integrate puzzles into games but I felt like this was a fun whimsical way of doing it with puzzles that were more fun then trite or unsatisfying,
