@@redbatty7705 I don't know how often he's done it, but last year on this channel he did dnd with some of the other cast, so he's definitely more farmilliar with it
The fact that Lady Applejack kills Vecna in the show with a d20 when everyone was about to be doomed, THEN does the exact same thing IRL is pure poetic justice. Amazing.
IKR....Gaten's face when he saw it was a Nat 20 was biblical. I have been playing and DM'ing for nearly 35 years....IT NEVER GETS OLD when something like this happens.
B Dave is fantastic. There are several phenomenal ones like himself out there like Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Mulligan, and Matt Mercer off the top of my head.
Not only that. But theyre playing late game dnd characters. There are so many class features that all do different things or change other things and theyre just dropped into this not know how to play at lvl 1. So DM being able to push the story along while juggling all these class features and rules is nuts
@Migtonomus 6 months late but YES. B Dave is the type of DM that thinks level 20 is just the beginning. He thrives on max level storytelling with demigods as his PCs.
By the way I didn't know the actor was 15 I thought she was older so yeah forget anything about Erica and Dustin dating but as best friends they have the perfect chemistry
Not really, no. I have been a DM for 30 something years, and I can tell you right now he wasn't trying hard at all, he was DMing in a lazy, uninvested way. Not a smart choice if you want to entertain a group of casual players.
@@Cavpal He was very entertaining, the others started slow except Gaten, he was hooked from the start, but that just spoke more about their personalities...and this was the first time for me, seeing a DND game and yet I was hooked from the beginning

The DM was excellent. It's very impressive how he was able to introduce and explain game mechanics to inexperienced players while simultaneously keeping the story moving along at a reasonable pace.
for anybody watching this later, the chat during the livestream was mean as hell and calling this boring. one thing you should understand is that dnd is slow. it’s really fun and interesting though but you’d only understand if you were there, playing. also the DM (dungeon master) isn’t trying too hard. the point of dnd is that it’s a rpg (role play game). it starts off slow in the first session as the DM is creating buildup but it gets a lot more fun the more sessions you play. and i’d understand if it doesn’t interest you, but stop calling the game boring and uninteresting. very mean. just don’t watch, damn
for the most part I agree but I think the DM's trying just enough imo. It takes a lot more to guide people through a one-shot especially if they don't have any experience with DnD to the point where they can't tell the difference between the dice.

I've never played Dungeons & Dragons and never watched anything like this, but it seem fun especially when you have creative and funny people to play it with.
I've never played before 2 weeks ago & they've got me DMing the game. It's not about rules or knowing everything. It's just about having fun. My group is all 1st timers & family. You get the chance, just dive in & don't worry.
I would recommend "Acquisition incorporated" or "Dimension 20 fantasy high" on youtube. 😁 I wouldnt be surprised if you find Dungeon masters that you like better than this guy, people like Chris Perkins, Brenan Lee Mulligan or Matt Mercer. 😇 If you want to play with a bunch of friends, I would get a hold of a players handbook and a Dungeon Masters guide 😊 and DM a game like I did. Great great fun.
can me salute the Dungeon Master ? he's basically giving a bunch of Beginners half trolls a good story guiding them, reminding them of the specificities of their feet / classes without it being overbearing for them of sounding to schooling. he's great.
i love how you see Priah slowly come out of her shell and get a little more comfortable throughout the game. I think it’s her first time playing if i can remember, and it’s so sweet and comforting that Gaten encourages her. I am very much the same way doesn’t matter if there is people around me that i know.
I love how Gaten is always trying to include everyone especially anyone that’s shy like Natalia and Priah. We need more people like him, I do everything by myself at school from eating lunch, to doing math problems, and no one has ever done anything for me like what Gaten does.

@@rarrnee5150 Finn never seems all there. He’s got really bad anxiety which I think you can see in his foot shaking throughout the video and how it slows a bit throughout.
Gaten and Joe seem really into it, but Finn seemed a little anxious at first but warmed up as it went on, same for the one who plays Erica (I forgot her name im sorry) I think this was probably her first time playing
A D&D (or any other role playing) game with a good GM (Game Master, or DM Dungeon Master) and a good group is a weekly 2-4 hour guided improv/mutual storytelling. Nothing like it, and it can be one of the best experiences in the world. A bad group and/or a bad GM can make it no fun, but keep looking till you find a good one. It is worth it. (I'm 55 and been doing it since High School. Never stopped, never will.)
@@taylaparaha8628 Don't worry ! There are two ways to roleplay a character : the "My character says/does [action/sentence]" way and the 'playing the role' way. You don't have to play the role, you can just describe the actions and words ^^ play this game, it's a fun experience with a good group.
this is literally the most entertaining thing ever. i never thought i would enjoy seeing a bunch of people play DnD for an hour and a half but here i am
This DM was killer??? Like I was expecting this to be at least a little stilted & awkward but I was fr so entertained. It felt like I was tagging along to someone’s actual home game
I think the DM told the story perfectly and they all genuinely seemed interested and excited, especially Joe and Gaten. I don’t think people realize it’s a story telling game, an rpg, so the DM played his part perfectly! Even the cast played into it and acted to their roles.
Gaten should be a screenwriter as well as an actor. He's so good at storytelling off the cuff! The bit about what colour the death light was was beautiful!
I feel like maybe they were aware of Stella before the game or maybe they just are naturally good role players since they did seem to know the NPCs and have some sort of chemistry with them.
@@DanieleFisichella Genuine question how was that a roast? 😅 I just specified that as actors they probably are good at roleplaying, given the profession they chose etc .
@@demogorgonking8593 (spoiler alert for everyone else) I feel like something might happen to Max now since she's been escaping all the visions of Vecna, like shes been getting super lucky. I don't wanna believe that she may die but you never know. 😢
54:25 - 55:02 is my favourite just Joe being so protective of Stella and fighting over sacrificing to save her with Finn and saying what's up to vecna is just gold. I actually can't
He also seems to have a wonderful imagination. That speech to the undead & what he said about death & the orange sunset light he radiates was great. You could tell he was actually enjoying this.
@ONLY COURAGEOUS PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO WATCH MY VID thats an odd advertising campaign. good luck with that. I didn't click the link to your channel, btw.
as a dungeon master, i have to say gaten did WONDERFULLY. they all did well, but he stood out to me. i don't know how much expirience he has with dnd but he was very in touch with his character and i would love to have him at my table
Finn's reaction to the Lady Applejack 20 at 1:19:25 gave me a huge 1st season Mike vibe. That happy akward kid feeling to him because of how invested he was by the end. Nostalgia hitting hard😂
Idk why people are saying they look bored in this or that they don't want to be there. I can't really tell with Priah, but the others seemed pretty invested. They were always asking questions, building off of each other, and acting in character. All of them got excited about rolling high and doing damage too. Maybe it's just some people not understanding the game, but to me, they seemed to be having a good time (especially the longer it went on). I had a lot of fun watching!
"Can't really tell with Priah" shut up??? Finn looked the most uninterested if you wanna play like a fool. Priah just seemed to concentrate more- why single her out? The shade in your comment? You're an actual piece of shit
To me they seem to be concentrating, rather than looking bored. I got the impression that Gaten was the only one who had much experience playing D&D, so the rest of them were just thinking hard to keep up with all the twists and turns of a game that they weren't 100% familiar with.
@Boss Like she was probably really nervous!! Dnd is really fun but there’s a lot of elements to it and a lot of ways you can be criticized for getting something wrong so playing for the first time in front of such a big audience must’ve been kind of hellish ngl. I’m nervous enough for joining my first campaign next year and it’s just with some of my closest friends
Very interesting how he slices up the rules into narrative, just asking for rolls based on options he gives to the players. Feels more choose your own adventure from their perspective, with a focus on roleplaying and letting them feel like they're in control without really knowing how any of this works. God level DMing.
I can't get over the dynamic of the party, We got two characters that are the funny names, and two normal sounding names. Bonus points for Priah using Lady Applejack in both the show and IRL. It feels great.
I absolutely love the fact that Gaten is the only one (apart from the Dungeon Master himself) out of the group to wear a Hellfire Club t-shirt. God I love him
This was lots of fun. It was great seeing Gaten as into it as he was the Christmas one, and great seeing Joe so excited by the game as well. Glad Finn was less purposely troll like as he was in the Christmas one. Priah seemed a little unsure but it was pretty awesome when she threw the nat 20 like Erica did in the show. XD Would LOVE to see (even if it took some serious work to plan) the ENTIRE cast take part in one big D&D finale adventure at the end of Season 5 (and bloody finale include Noah & Caleb - but especially Noah considering Will spent an entire season wanting to play D&D and getting ignored). :P
Yeah it was cool to see Gaten rocking the hellfire club shirt, which was my favorite addition in this season. Joe is also funny just like his character in the series
Gotta agree with you re: Finn - he really needed to be reminded (a couple of times) at Xmas, that there were other players in that game who shouldn't have had to compete THAT much for the ability to simply participate. Took me a few tries to even finish it, due to his limelight hogging ways. Yikes....
I love how Lady apple jack came in at the end and absolutely DESTROYED Vecna! It's also cool how in the Stranger Things 4 series she actually did help the fire club win. So this is very full circle!! Love it!!
@@void8016 he loosened up at the end. He's a shy Brit, not very well known over here yet, the whole American experience is new for him and it shows. He also mentioned in interviews that he is not into this game. He handled it very well but it was obvious it has been forced on him. But I hope all this exposure will blow up his career, he is extremely talented.
@@susivarga7303 Feels like Priya is the one that isn't into the game or likes it tbh. Joe got into the character at 16 mins in and kept on having fun lol
I love how Joseph also plays the audience at times. Like when they're really getting into a scene and he goes "mm love it." or "you're all amazing." I love how he can enjoy the game from both aspects. I'm new to RPG's. I plan on trying D&D after my current adventure is done but I just love to see that type of enthusiasm along with Gaten. I LOVE how into it he gets. He's definitely a veteran in this game, yet so nice to encourage the shyest of players to let loose and come along this adventure, sorta like a comforting blanket ensuring you are safe. Then there's the GM. AMAZING. He can truly set the scene and embody whatever villain or NPC needed. I enjoyed this experience. Felt as if I was there as well.
59:35 When Joe says “Don’t suck my light!” then realised how awful it sounded 😂 Finn’s like “…what!?” This whole thing was so funny and joyful to watch, I love them! 🥲❤️
so excited for this and joe being in it! so keen to see eddie in volume 2, we need more joe content especially with joe saying he didnt undertand d&d this is gonna be hectic
The fact that Dustin and Erica were the last 2 left and lady applejack rolled a nat 20 right at the end is soooo perfect. I want to see what the book is but its a one shot
It's great to see. And although many groups are of like ages (based on friend groups) it's not that uncommon to see a wide range of ages around a table. Especially if it's a game intended to introduce new players. I'm in my fifties and the last game I was in (it did happen to be D&D) the other players were aged 12-17.
I can only image what Season 5 is gonna be like. My mind is already blown with what they have achieved so far and where the story line is going in the Season 4.
Finn: "I'm going to go ahead and let them know that there's a hoard of undead coming towards us." Gaten: "thank you." Finn: "guys. There's a hoard of undead coming towards us." Gaten: "are you serious right now 🙄 this is what I've been waiting for💅"
I am just so impressed by the Dungeon Master. He guided these newbies in such a way that took none of their agency. And he helped them without ruining the gameplay. Some DMs can get too intense. While I know he was briefed to be chill because these are kid actors, I wish more DMs would run their games with kindness like this especially with newer or more casual players. B. Dave Walters just gained a new fan in me.
@@theop1478 for anyone who still wants the answer to this question, he doesn't have his own yt but he hosts (technical term is "runs") and plays in a LOT of D&D games with a bunch of different people
Crazy how this session spontaneously was almost beat for beat in the battle portion to the show. Lady Applejack the wildcard glass cannon every adventuring party needs. Glad everyone looked like they had a fun time. DnD is such a fun social game and I'm happy to see it resurgence in popularity in recent years.
this video is an hour and a half, but it seriously feels like 15 minutes even tho there is so much happening here...... joe keery's catboy persona..... handstands at funerals..... finn and joe fighting over stella's love..... gaten's eloquent speeches about the balance of life and death.... real life paralleling cinema with lady applejack's nat 20..... it's a WILD ride and I love it
"Surprise motherfu...." 🤣🤣 I love how they got so into it the more they played. I need more! I didn't think this game would be my cup of tea but I'm all in!! That last 20 roll was so perfect 😂 The dungeon master did so well at making them all laugh and feel comfortable. Part 2? Pleaseee? 🥺
Since I’m seeing a lot of hate just wanted to say as someone who has never seen DnD gameplay or played the game I found this video really entertaining and cool and not boring in the least😂 I’m actually very interested in this now
It really is. I have played D&D and other role playing games like it since the 80s. It's so insanely different, I wish everyone in the world could try it. It's not just "fantasy" with orcs and elves and dwarves. There are super hero games like it, military combat games like it. Cyberpunk games (Shadowrun is my favourite role playing game of all). Vampire games. Spies. Space battles. Pick a genre, make a character, make an adventure. There's a structure, there are rules, and there are crazy dice to roll. But that's about it. It's all just a framework for this kind of crazy collaborative story telling that you can't even believe if you haven't experienced it. The best part of it, if you do it right, is realizing how incredibly creative you can be, how creative your friends are, and how crazy stories can just be born out of a group of people screwing around and having a good time.
I love the idea of this brooding Dwarf Death Cleric looking at a character like Vecna and quietly telling him his powers of fear in death are "Malarkey."
The ending was so perfect and so mirrored to the actual show it’s insane, I loved this, and also the one with Natalia and David, gaten and finn, both are so amazing, can’t wait for more 😃
ok but joe naming his character joe keery and the drawing being joe keery as a cat person is phenomenal

Gaten and Joe seem really into it, but Finn seemed a little anxious at first but warmed up as it went on, same for the one who plays Erica (I forgot her name im sorry) I think this was probably her first time playing
D&D seems like an improv actor's dream come true. So many characters to embody and winding story to push forward
A D&D (or any other role playing) game with a good GM (Game Master, or DM Dungeon Master) and a good group is a weekly 2-4 hour guided improv/mutual storytelling. Nothing like it, and it can be one of the best experiences in the world. A bad group and/or a bad GM can make it no fun, but keep looking till you find a good one. It is worth it. (I'm 55 and been doing it since High School. Never stopped, never will.)
I absolutely want to try so much!!! I'm a bit shy and that's been stopping me
@@taylaparaha8628 Don't worry ! There are two ways to roleplay a character :
the "My character says/does [action/sentence]" way and the 'playing the role' way.
You don't have to play the role, you can just describe the actions and words ^^
play this game, it's a fun experience with a good group.
To be honest I actually play D&D
Being a DM for many types of roleplay is great fun, you have to use your imagination and think on the spot quite alot
Taking a moment to appreciate Gaten and his wit, humor, genuine creative dude.
this is literally the most entertaining thing ever. i never thought i would enjoy seeing a bunch of people play DnD for an hour and a half but here i am
Yeah, turns out actual play shows aren't as popular as they've gotten for no reason 👀
There are a lot of really cool dnd podcasts and shows out there if you want to watch more! I highly recommend critical role or dimension 20 :)))
B. Dave Walters is on a lot of these types of shows! He's a wonderful player and DM.
Try watching Critical role season 2.
Critical Role is amazing I think you might want to check it out
gaten is such a nice dude bruh he always maintains eye contact and makes anybody speaking feel wanted
Well he did interrupt the DM several times while explaining the next scene... That kinda sucked.
But I guess ut was the excitement
@@lenakingsleigh bruh
I want a friend like him
joe keery and chad handstands rivalry is the best thing ever
the way that priah rolls a 20 at the end just like how erica does on the show is just so satisfying oml
This DM was killer??? Like I was expecting this to be at least a little stilted & awkward but I was fr so entertained. It felt like I was tagging along to someone’s actual home game
@Manafae oh sick!! Thanks I’ll check it out!
Agreed
They're all such great actors. Priah and Joseph are a lot shyer than I thought, and they play very outgoing and outspoken chracters.
I think the DM told the story perfectly and they all genuinely seemed interested and excited, especially Joe and Gaten. I don’t think people realize it’s a story telling game, an rpg, so the DM played his part perfectly! Even the cast played into it and acted to their roles.
Love how Joe progessively got more into it the longer they played
I can't believe I watched the whole video despite knowing nothing about this game. I loved it
Watch Critical Role next, it might please you too (or some other D&D show that you might like!)
Lots of good things inside the role playing community
@@Oldstalk thanks! I will
Same tho- it looks rlly fun actually!
...showing that it is more about the story than it is about the game itself :)
Gaten should be a screenwriter as well as an actor. He's so good at storytelling off the cuff! The bit about what colour the death light was was beautiful!
OMG, agreed!!
yes and when he says he is sad to destroy the dead, he gives his character more depth.
we need more joseph quinn content!!!
No literally ive been watching so many videos just to see Joe 😂
I love his real accent. He does a perfect American accent on the show.
@@Niaxsimone NO LITERALLY 😭
agreed! i love him
Seriously!
I love that they had the universal D&D experience of latching on to some random npc that wasn’t supposed to mean anything to the story
I feel like maybe they were aware of Stella before the game or maybe they just are naturally good role players since they did seem to know the NPCs and have some sort of chemistry with them.
@@thilypad557 I guess they all are professional actors so that probably gives them some headstart in the roleplaying department of the game.
@@bragny you didn't have to roast him bruh
Happens every time😂😂
@@DanieleFisichella Genuine question how was that a roast? 😅 I just specified that as actors they probably are good at roleplaying, given the profession they chose etc .
How does this show get more and more epic with every new Season.. like whaat Vol.1 was INSANELY Good and im sure vol.2 will be amazing aswell!!
But vol.2 is gonna have more characters dying and what if Steve dies 😭 it’s not gonna be amazing if the main characters die
@@Itzjuniior i guess i know who is gonna die. But i wont spoil it for anyone
@@demogorgonking8593 Steve ya nancy my guess
@@demogorgonking8593 who do you think dies
@@demogorgonking8593 (spoiler alert for everyone else)
I feel like something might happen to Max now since she's been escaping all the visions of Vecna, like shes been getting super lucky. I don't wanna believe that she may die but you never know. 😢
I love Finn's aesthetic, leaning into dark academia. Honestly suits him
Joseph trying to not to laugh the whole time and Gaten having a blast is just beautiful 😂
The way Gaten is just loving every single moment of this, it’s so cute
He’s even wearing a Hellfire Club shirt! It’s too cute.
@@TokyoBlue587 Yes!!! And Joe is too lol
He’s so cute
54:25 - 55:02 is my favourite just Joe being so protective of Stella and fighting over sacrificing to save her with Finn and saying what's up to vecna is just gold. I actually can't
Joe and Finn saying baby baby baby to Stella had me dying
I loved when Joe started saying it like it was his part lol
Jealous of her ngl
Joe was like "stay away from my lady" 🤣🤣
When was this?
What was the time stamp 😂😂
Gaten has so much personality… it’s amazing to hear him talk and he must be so fun to be around!
He also seems to have a wonderful imagination. That speech to the undead & what he said about death & the orange sunset light he radiates was great. You could tell he was actually enjoying this.
*host grunts* *joe grunts back* *just them grunting at eachother* - a masterpiece
I‘m sorry but Lady Applejack is the most badass in ST. Erica would end Angela immediately. But anyway, they‘re all stunning 🙏🏽💙
@ONLY COURAGEOUS PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO WATCH MY VID thats an odd advertising campaign. good luck with that. I didn't click the link to your channel, btw.

Am Ende kackt die Ente Bre🦆😎
Yeah
Heyy I just wanted to tell you I accidentally disliked your comment and then I liked it 😭 I just woke up
as a dungeon master, i have to say gaten did WONDERFULLY. they all did well, but he stood out to me. i don't know how much expirience he has with dnd but he was very in touch with his character and i would love to have him at my table
THE FACT THAT LADY APPLEJACK ROLLED A 20 IN THE END AND KILLED VECNA IN THE SERIES AND HERE HAS ME SCREAMING
Finn's reaction to the Lady Applejack 20 at 1:19:25 gave me a huge 1st season Mike vibe. That happy akward kid feeling to him because of how invested he was by the end. Nostalgia hitting hard😂
My favourite thing is that Joe gets progressively more and more into it as times goes by, I love it. By the end, he's so engrossed lol
Idk why people are saying they look bored in this or that they don't want to be there. I can't really tell with Priah, but the others seemed pretty invested. They were always asking questions, building off of each other, and acting in character. All of them got excited about rolling high and doing damage too. Maybe it's just some people not understanding the game, but to me, they seemed to be having a good time (especially the longer it went on). I had a lot of fun watching!
"Can't really tell with Priah" shut up??? Finn looked the most uninterested if you wanna play like a fool. Priah just seemed to concentrate more- why single her out? The shade in your comment? You're an actual piece of shit
Priah seems like she wasn’t sure at first maybe a little nervous but eventually she warmed up to it and enjoyed the story telling aspect of it
@Boss Like i think priah is just shy, she seemed like she wanted to participate but was hesitant to
To me they seem to be concentrating, rather than looking bored. I got the impression that Gaten was the only one who had much experience playing D&D, so the rest of them were just thinking hard to keep up with all the twists and turns of a game that they weren't 100% familiar with.
@Boss Like she was probably really nervous!! Dnd is really fun but there’s a lot of elements to it and a lot of ways you can be criticized for getting something wrong so playing for the first time in front of such a big audience must’ve been kind of hellish ngl. I’m nervous enough for joining my first campaign next year and it’s just with some of my closest friends
Very interesting how he slices up the rules into narrative, just asking for rolls based on options he gives to the players. Feels more choose your own adventure from their perspective, with a focus on roleplaying and letting them feel like they're in control without really knowing how any of this works. God level DMing.
Loved that the DM wasn’t afraid to get totally into the characters. Thought this was a lot of fun!
These kids are actors, not odd for them to see someone acting so was prolly easy for dude to get into character
I can't get over the dynamic of the party, We got two characters that are the funny names, and two normal sounding names. Bonus points for Priah using Lady Applejack in both the show and IRL. It feels great.
Gaten is an amazing player. I think he'd be great as a guest on Critical Role or Dimension 20!
Omg that would be insane, this needs to happen!!!!!!!!
Agreed!!! Have you seen him on the Lost Odyssey sesh with Deborah Ann Woll as DM??? I LOVE that one the most I think!
I absolutely love the fact that Gaten is the only one (apart from the Dungeon Master himself) out of the group to wear a Hellfire Club t-shirt. God I love him
Would have been cool if they all had
Pria is wearing the hell fire jacket like the one the gm is wearing :)
ほんとうですね😊😊❤❤
彼のTシャツ姿が嬉しい❤❤
Joseph is the cutest human I’ve ever laid eyes on, omg we need more of him!!! 🥺😭💜
This was lots of fun. It was great seeing Gaten as into it as he was the Christmas one, and great seeing Joe so excited by the game as well. Glad Finn was less purposely troll like as he was in the Christmas one. Priah seemed a little unsure but it was pretty awesome when she threw the nat 20 like Erica did in the show. XD
Would LOVE to see (even if it took some serious work to plan) the ENTIRE cast take part in one big D&D finale adventure at the end of Season 5 (and bloody finale include Noah & Caleb - but especially Noah considering Will spent an entire season wanting to play D&D and getting ignored). :P
Yeah it was cool to see Gaten rocking the hellfire club shirt, which was my favorite addition in this season. Joe is also funny just like his character in the series
Gotta agree with you re: Finn - he really needed to be reminded (a couple of times) at Xmas, that there were other players in that game who shouldn't have had to compete THAT much for the ability to simply participate.
Took me a few tries to even finish it, due to his limelight hogging ways. Yikes....
It's hard to play good campaign with more than 4ish ppl unless it's an experienced group who can do their turn fast
I love how into it they were getting!! The way Joseph seemed genuinely worried half the time! My giant nerd heart loved this so much lol
Fr! The way he jumped out of his chair when he rolled a 27, he was so happy, i loved it! 😆
Finn: "it's four...." **noises of frustration**
Joe: "you okay..?"
Finn: "I'm fine. You might not be, but I'm fine."
Which time
@@eminetoy5987 28:34
I love how Lady apple jack came in at the end and absolutely DESTROYED Vecna! It's also cool how in the Stranger Things 4 series she actually did help the fire club win. So this is very full circle!! Love it!!
joe was so concentrated the whole time 😭
Because he has no idea about DnD, he was trying to stay connected, poor guy.
@@susivarga7303 well he ended up enjoying it from the looks of it
@@void8016 he loosened up at the end.
He's a shy Brit, not very well known over here yet, the whole American experience is new for him and it shows. He also mentioned in interviews that he is not into this game.
He handled it very well but it was obvious it has been forced on him.
But I hope all this exposure will blow up his career, he is extremely talented.
@@susivarga7303 Feels like Priya is the one that isn't into the game or likes it tbh. Joe got into the character at 16 mins in and kept on having fun lol
@@TisseBon because he's an adult, Priya is a child. Cannot cover up her feelings.
The dungeon master is so good on this! Giving him all my respects!
Right back atcha, thank you!
I love how Joseph also plays the audience at times. Like when they're really getting into a scene and he goes "mm love it." or "you're all amazing." I love how he can enjoy the game from both aspects. I'm new to RPG's. I plan on trying D&D after my current adventure is done but I just love to see that type of enthusiasm along with Gaten. I LOVE how into it he gets. He's definitely a veteran in this game, yet so nice to encourage the shyest of players to let loose and come along this adventure, sorta like a comforting blanket ensuring you are safe. Then there's the GM. AMAZING. He can truly set the scene and embody whatever villain or NPC needed. I enjoyed this experience. Felt as if I was there as well.
Joseph is so adorable and wholesome, he’s having the best time. I hope he has the best life ever ❤️🥰
59:35 When Joe says “Don’t suck my light!” then realised how awful it sounded 😂 Finn’s like “…what!?”
This whole thing was so funny and joyful to watch, I love them! 🥲❤️
Amazing how lady applejack saves the day just like in the show
right that was perfect with a natural D20

and his intense head bob 🤣🤣
In the beginning I thought one hour of dnd would be to much. Now I'm sitting here wishing that they would continue. That was fun to watch:D
it is relatively short for a dnd session, my sessions are usually 3 to 4 hours
Lol yeah, I'm fr wishing they did do a second part starting with Joe picking up the book. It definitely did not seem like over an hour long at all 🤣
I finally understand why the party had campaigns lasting all day in the series lol
I’m so in love with Joseph😭💕
I think we all are
Welcome to the Hellfire Club 🥲😮💨😂😂😂😂😂😂
who isnt
Oh yes!
Aren’t we all🤧
The poetic genius that was the NAT 20 after her character did so in Episode 1 is amazing!
The fact that Dustin and Erica were the last 2 left and lady applejack rolled a nat 20 right at the end is soooo perfect. I want to see what the book is but its a one shot
Bro spoilers..
@@jiffysanchez it's in the first episode
I'm pretty sure it's the Book of Vile Darkness
Edit: I made this comment before I finished the video
lmfao the way lady applejack went from strolling like a clown to actually being the one to deal the final blow. It's so freaking good!
Can we just talk about Joseph sitting with 3 actual kids and is playing Dungeons and Dragons😂 This is hilarious to see outside of the show
It's great to see. And although many groups are of like ages (based on friend groups) it's not that uncommon to see a wide range of ages around a table. Especially if it's a game intended to introduce new players. I'm in my fifties and the last game I was in (it did happen to be D&D) the other players were aged 12-17.
PRIAH GLEW UP SHE IS SO STUNNING
I literally thought she was a new character in the interviews but I just now realized it's priah 😭😭

I am just so impressed by the Dungeon Master. He guided these newbies in such a way that took none of their agency. And he helped them without ruining the gameplay. Some DMs can get too intense. While I know he was briefed to be chill because these are kid actors, I wish more DMs would run their games with kindness like this especially with newer or more casual players. B. Dave Walters just gained a new fan in me.
Joe is hilarious! Also the hoster is great at accents and voices
B. Dave Walters does a lot of gaming streams. He's a gifted Dungeon Master and player.

The hoster, huh? 😂
@@theop1478 for anyone who still wants the answer to this question, he doesn't have his own yt but he hosts (technical term is "runs") and plays in a LOT of D&D games with a bunch of different people
I’ve never known anything about D&D, but this was fantastic. I really enjoyed it.
You should look into playing. This is pretty much like what most D&D games are like compared to a lot of other games you may see online.
Crazy how this session spontaneously was almost beat for beat in the battle portion to the show. Lady Applejack the wildcard glass cannon every adventuring party needs. Glad everyone looked like they had a fun time. DnD is such a fun social game and I'm happy to see it resurgence in popularity in recent years.
this video is an hour and a half, but it seriously feels like 15 minutes even tho there is so much happening here...... joe keery's catboy persona..... handstands at funerals..... finn and joe fighting over stella's love..... gaten's eloquent speeches about the balance of life and death.... real life paralleling cinema with lady applejack's nat 20..... it's a WILD ride and I love it
32:28 has me dying then when he stares at Finn saying “she’s safe there 😏
"Surprise motherfu...." 🤣🤣 I love how they got so into it the more they played. I need more! I didn't think this game would be my cup of tea but I'm all in!! That last 20 roll was so perfect 😂 The dungeon master did so well at making them all laugh and feel comfortable. Part 2? Pleaseee? 🥺
I love Joseph Quinn's facial expressions 😂❤️❤️❤️

I’ve never felt nerdier but watching this was the most fun I’ve had in a while
As someone who is used to playing basketball as a game, this is on a whole other level of creativity and intellect.
It really is. I have played D&D and other role playing games like it since the 80s. It's so insanely different, I wish everyone in the world could try it. It's not just "fantasy" with orcs and elves and dwarves. There are super hero games like it, military combat games like it. Cyberpunk games (Shadowrun is my favourite role playing game of all). Vampire games. Spies. Space battles. Pick a genre, make a character, make an adventure. There's a structure, there are rules, and there are crazy dice to roll. But that's about it. It's all just a framework for this kind of crazy collaborative story telling that you can't even believe if you haven't experienced it. The best part of it, if you do it right, is realizing how incredibly creative you can be, how creative your friends are, and how crazy stories can just be born out of a group of people screwing around and having a good time.
I love the idea of this brooding Dwarf Death Cleric looking at a character like Vecna and quietly telling him his powers of fear in death are "Malarkey."
Joseph is like the fun uncle hanging out with his niece and nephews at the family party
I love how the guys tried to include Priah as much as they could
The ending just proves lady applejack is the most powerful character to ever be in d&d
The ending was so perfect and so mirrored to the actual show it’s insane, I loved this, and also the one with Natalia and David, gaten and finn, both are so amazing, can’t wait for more 😃
