SO EXCITED that folks finally get to watch this!! 🥰 Really looking forward to passing on some funds to Doctors Without Borders!
I have been really excited to watch this!
My worlds collide, science education and make believe... but like in a fun a and cheeky way, not a deny evidence kinda way
why tf did i think u're from great britain?!🤦u dont sound like an american to me lol😂
A Forrest Valkai and Ginny D crossover?!
So cool!!!!!
It's just Ginni Di and Her Royal Misfits!!!!
wait, my favorite atheist scientist also plays TTRPGs? YES!! And Ginny Di? YES, again!
edited D&D to TTRPG. Yay for Kobold Press!
"I am not 6000 spiders in a human suit"
That is a very specific denial.
Sounds like something that 6000 spiders in a human suit would say.
Ginny Di and Forrest Valkai..
The collaboration I didn't know I needed.. 😂😂😂
Forest, Ginny, and Catieosaurus all together!? With friends!? Playing TTRPGs?! Supporting my friends over at MSF?! Yes! Yes to all of this!
As a lifelong D&D player and longtime Forrest subscriber, I'm so stoked for this. 🔥
So, Forrest is playing a doctor without boarders... nice.
Gotta love Forest playing a doctor without borders to support Doctors Without Borders
Forrest looks like he’s in an Agent 47 cosplay. Dripped out.
Come back.
I don't even know what that means.
Enjoy it with me.
I beg you.
Lol, he has way too much hair, and he smiles.
47 doesn't smile.
This was so much fun to work on
Oh Sh*t, Ginny. Brought in a ringer have we?
I don't watch DnD games and don't feel like giving it a shot at this exact moment but I love Forrest valkai and doctors without borders so have this comment for old man Algo Rithm. Hope you all have fun
Watch it anyway.
It's way beyond my kin.
I remember wasting time on more trivial.
"As currency?"
I immediately thought that too.
Jesse AND Forrest!? This is my favorite video on the internet.
I'm so thrilled that my atheist/humanist/skeptic and RPG worlds are colliding!
Been a big Forrest and Ginny for a long time and was recently turned on to Jesse as well.
Edit: I commented too fast! Didn't even realize a third world! My Unprepared Casters world with Amelia!
Make way on Mount Mercer for Jesse's face, right alongside Ayengar, Lee Mulligan, and the other DM legends
Hear hear!!
HARD AGREE
46:22 forrest miming eating throughout this interaction is killing me
Jesse is giving Fraser Crane and I can't handle it 😂
I'm so excited for this, such a cool initiative and using Tales of The Valiant to do it? Yes!
Great start everyone! Seems like a fun and cooperative table.
I’ve been more excited about this than any of my usual live play content.
GINNY!!! ❤❤❤❤ Oh, and hi Forrest... 😜
This was a lot of fun to watch! Great job, team! I came for Forrest Valkai, but I stayed for GinnyDi. That said, I really enjoyed the performances of everyone else and Jesse's incredible DMing!
I have acutally donated to doctors without borders last week so unfortunately I can't donate again right now but I really really love that you use your platform to help other people!
Victor strikes me as a Dapper Dan man.
How fun! I enjoyed this. Came for Forrest stayed for the rest.
I love this! This is the greatest thing happening on the internet right now.
This is awesome and I had many laughs! The production and art is top notch. I can't wait for more episodes!
Forrest and Ginny in the same project? This is awesome! Next you'll be telling me that the Milo/Lindsay/Forrest crew is doing a crossover with the DnD Shorts/Ginny/ZacSpeaksGiant crew where the scientists are giving DM advice and the DMs are doing video essays on cool science, all while CasualGeo and Clint's Reptiles are in the back laughing their heads off with the rest of us. Yes, yes that is my idea of perfection. Yes, it is objectively correct.
I am so stoked! I never get time off to watch this stuff but I have the day off! Time for wings and dnd!
Holy crap, I know half of these people! So cool!
The Rival Rapport and Furtive Friend banter is so natural, I cant tell if its all improv talent or method acting.
The chemistry at the table was magical and very easy to get into character! It also helps that each one is distinct from one another and well fleshed out, so everyone knew how the social dynamics would go!
What?
I mean... What?
DnD is so fun. We've been playing with our friends online for years. It's a nice break in the week. The fun thing about a campaign is how off the rails each group goes 😂😅
I Can't Wait for the Next Show!
Gods, I hope Jesse does some audible readings someday. His voice is so soothing....
I think he'd be an amazing audiobook reader
just noticed the "river and sea" inn!! that's so clever omg. i'm so hyped for this, you guys even did constumes!!
It makes me happy that you picked up on that!
Awesome start!! I have so many questions that I hope get answered as we learn more about the characters and town. Can't wait for next week's episode, sounds like it'll be🔥
I never thought I'd see Ginny Di and Forest Valkai together in a video. This is great
FINALLY!!! Been checking every day to see when it's premiering!
Jesse brings a wonderful energy to the table as the GM, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves 🙂
HELL yeah, this is gonna be awesome!
This is delightful and unexpected! I very excited to go on this adventure!
Me too.
I think this will be great thing.
I've been waiting for this sooo long (not really but it felt like a long time)
Amount raised was briefly $420. Next target, $666!
Put this on to go to bed to last night. Woke up this morning and now my FB feed is littered with posts from train enthusiast groups 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone else not getting notifications for these?
been subscribed to Forrest for awhile now and almost always watch his videos as soon as they come out and for some reason the one with the DwB fundraiser is the only one ive missed
I absolutely love this. I really hope it gets more attention! 😊
HYPE HYPEHYPEHYPEHYPE IM SO HYPED FOR THIS!!!!
So awesome! Congrats folks!
I love that so much of this is dedicated to feeding the doctor like a starving cat
So excited to finally see this!
This is sooo amazing!! Please do another episode
I'm leaving some time stamps for myself:
00:04:05 - Introduction
00:06:48 - Amaritha "Ritha" Janis
00:08:27 - Dr Victor Vindeca
00:10:01 - Eloise van der Graaf
00:12:21 - Gwen Copperplate

00:17:49 - Kirke Counterfire and Ember
I LOVE THIS!!
Awesome game guys! Hope the fundraiser goes well.
I have been playing ttrpg’s for years but never really been interested in watching others play as a show. Since this was you and it’s for charity I decided to give it a chance, and I’m so glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it from start to finish. I’m looking forward to the next episode :)
A “children’s game” Forest?!
I used to give you 10 / 10. Now you get 9.76 / 10. 😢
One might consider that all "professional sports" are children's games that adults get paid to play so that other people can watch.
No, why at 1:00 in the morning? 😅 Stupid timezones. Something to watch on the train tomorrow I suppose...
Great session! I can't wait for the next one!!! Yeeee hawww!!! 🎉🎉❤
Hey Forrest, I can prove God. Look in the dungeons and dragons book deities and demigods. 🎉😂😮
amazing
I loved every second of this video
Watched all of Gutsick Gibbons Field work fundraising stream to now watch this one. Yeah
I love it
Can i just say THAT MUSIC IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
Yeeesssss, I’m so hyped ❤❤❤
I'm "In the Mood!"
1:55:25 After such a serious moment, this absolutely killed me
I can't believe I caught the live show, unfortunately I will have to come back to watch. My connection is bad and at dinner
What an awesome video to wake up to on my birthday!
Happy bday!!!
Happy birthday! I didn't get you anything.
@@RenegadeScienceTeacher I beg to differ, your channel is an awesome gift to science enthusiasts everywhere :)
I rolled 27.
You are 27.
@@series3113 depending on which dice you rolled, that's pretty close!
I turned 21 on the 13th :)
I also started my first DND campaign yesterday! My character is an Eladrin Elf Wizard
I knew Forrest and Ginny were going to be in this, but I didn't know Catieosaurus would also be here. I don't typically watch these D&D live play videos because they're long, but I think I'll have to give this a watch. I think it's going to be a fun time.
P.S. I didn't quite recognize Charlotte at first, but then I realized who she is. I know her from her TikTok videos, so it's cool to see her here too.
👀👀
What?
This is a thing?
That's crazy.
This can't be a thing.
No way.
They invented this.
That's a fact.
This was so much fun! Made me long for my D&D days. Why did we have to grow up?
Well, you don't have to grow out of it. I've played pen and paper with people of almost all ages and it never stopps being fun, no matter if your 16 or 61!
@@falvlynn2303 I'm not the one who's grown out of it. My friends did. I would still love to play, but finding a group to play with has proven impossible.
@@mlp6646 That's really sad ...
Have you ever considered palying via video calls with people not-near-you? It's not totally the same, but it saved my pnp groups during covid lockdowns, and it gives you way more options for finding a fitting group.
The Slimy Doom.
That's fucking brilliant.
game on !
i cant wait
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVEEE THISSSS AND ITS ANOTHER DND SHOW TO WATCH. me and mine watch DnD shows all the time and im so loving this one! Forrest is the one that told me about this show, but im very much looking forward to getting to know the rest of these people too ^0^7💛💙
Let's go! Forrest and D&D!
Ahhhh!!! Y’all’s!!!
I cant see "initiaGive" without thinking of young frankenstein "SEDA-GIVE?!?"
The way everyone looked into the camera in the beginning felt like they were about to present theyr newest line of hightech crypto potions :3
Donation sent
I feel bad for sabotaging the view count, but I'm banking these so I have a good number of hour long videos to watch during work.
The worst thing about this is that we have to wait a week for the next chapter
Aren't you cute?
I happen to agree.
I only know Forrest and Ginny, I don't even know the game, and yet I'm so excited!!!
Been a Ginny Di fan for a few years and was just intrusive to Forrest like a week ago. Clearly God is telling me something.../s
Intrusive? In what way? Did you read his diary or something?
I'mma start saying intrusive instead of introduce from now on just to confuse people
At 1 in the morning? Sign me the fuck up
Theurge and a "dragon person" is not in TOV yet, where can I read about these two?
(The "Theurge" and whatever the "dragon person" is. I want to know what they are and can do)
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
She used the beast-folk hybrid in TOV. The Theurge is an established kobold press class, that we used for Kirke. 🧡🐻
@@JesseJerdak *beastkin 😘
hi! I play Kirke! you can read more about the Theurge class in Kobold's Deep Magic Vol. 1. Kirke's race (whose name shall become known a little later in the game) is a sort of homebrewed version of Tales of the Valiant's "Beastkin" lineage, which is basically just a humanoid version of any animal you can think of.
@@JesseJerdak Thanks this info has caused me to buy Deep Magic Vol 1 and 2. These new classes (Theurge and Witch) seem pretty cool! I got to see how it works with my ToV Players Guide book.
@@Cavatica Thanks for the answers they helped out alot!
was already a fan of your science education and atheism activism stuff so this venture into one of my favourite youtube pass times made it the trifecta of awesome :)
Give those doctors borders❤
Awesome! Unfortunately the time zones means I can’t watch live
Early D/Nat 20 is insane😂
I hear about D&D all the time (redditors mainly) but I have no clue about what it is, I assume it’s like this so I guess this would be a good introduction to it.
It depends on the people you have playing it; that said, yep this is similar to most of the games I have been in.
this is Tales of the Valiant, which is a different system made by a different company (Kobold Press), but the basic premise is basically the same: create characters with certain powers and abilities based on their race and class, and roll dice to make decisions!
Usually a bit more combat from my experience 😅
Let's f■cking GO!!!
Forrest Valkai plays the sophisticated edgelord
Should someone cast Detect Evil or Detect Undead on Forrest's character?...
Starving, very pale and waxy, looking for places with plenty of...helpless people in need, and refused to stay at the Temple immediately?
Suspicious, very suspicious...
This is an incredibly advanced intro to D&D.
It didn't resonate as a whimsical child.
But I envision it's allure.
I guess companionship is the price to hell?
I was gonna cry, i thought the timer said an hour
🙏
Ginny has managed to make the most aggressively straight female character I have ever seen.
I have so many queer ladies, I figured I should diversify at some point 😂
Is there anywhere that I could get a dice tower like those tankard towers? They are very cool!
