Fun fact: Gabriella is a recurring character in my campaigns. She’s a merchant who appears in dungeons at random, sells magic items at a markup, and kept grubrat’s skeleton to make fun of him.
I had a DM who, in one campaign, had a similar recurring semi-magical merchant character whose appearance (the DM warned us) always signified that the entire campaign would get more deadly (and player death/TPK more likely) if the players decided to continue in the direction they were going. He (the merchant) was always morose and talked unprompted about each player's inevitable and gruesome demise while also talking shop. "Do you have bookmaking supplies?" "Yes. I hope they will be of use to you in the time before you are cold and unbreathing forever."
I've started just making a designated "pet-baby" character for my players every game. That way they stay focused, rather than trying to get their hands on every goblin or kobold they happen across.
@@n.s.mcmahon6180 The gods don't want you to know this but all the monsters you meet in the dungeon are free. You can just take them home if you have improved grapple and a bag. I myself have 3 kobolds
I might have made a young bandit into my wizard apprentice once. I never learned his name but I called him Tenser and made him carry everything for me and fight. He eventually was allowed to learn a couple of cantrips by the DM.
I remember being so shocked when I first saw it then broke down laughing. Zee has such a rhythm going in how he speaks that episode and then BAM! Blood everywhere, gargling, Gabriella being so pleased she's still invisible, Zee begging for her to pass him the potion. Caught me so off guard.
The 2nd edition monstrous manual has, among the actual artwork credits, 2 people (Tim Beach and Doug Stewart) credited for the invisible stalker picture. The picture is entirely blank.
Yeah, it used to be on here didn't it? Did he remove a bunch of videos and make them Patreon exclusive? I definitely recall seeing all of these, and I've never been a Patreon user. Edit: This was answered in another comment. He removed a bunch when UA-cam flagged all animation as "for kids". Sad
@@randalljones8708damn, I always wandered where his prestiditation, fireball and some kind of videos on escape went. Shame they're gone, hoping zee rereleases them now that youtube is stable again... somewhat-
3:05 a mage using the key phrase "spell book".... that sounds like a horrible idea.......... and disaster waiting to happen. Like a barbarian using the key phrase "and then i hit them with my AX!" ...
Love the implication that the flying carpet was fast as hell, when in reality it only does around 9 mph, or not even 15 kmh. Bikes go faster on a regular cruise than that.
My group captured a Goblin and were going to interrogate him, he was wounded so the bard healed him. He took this as a sign and pledged himself to the group, and thus the entire table's favorite NPC, Sneeze, became part of the team. He caused soooo many problems because he couldn't stop eating random things, but everybody loved him anyway. One time 2 of the players couldn't join us, so I was able to use goblin shenanigans to cause a side adventure for the 3 players that made it. The events of that session ended up having a huge effect on the way the story played out.
There was one episode that got hidden that meant a lot to me, talking about creating things. I hope that sees the light of day again, i know other people I'd love to show
So that was where all the Gabriella stuff was. it seemed wierd you put out the template as if it was going to be a series then never saw any of it again.
Just so you know, my players liberated a group of goblin Slaves from an orc tribe . I made Gabriella the representative of the goblins and cut a deal where the goblins get paid to help the party. So far so good!😂
For some reason I remembered of my evil goblin wizard (that was very good at magic but bad at being evil) on an evil campaign. At some point we were selling a some stolen goods, and I asked "what would be a lot of money ?" and one of the guys a rogue with a merchant background said "something around 3 gold coins" thinking of the stolen goods. My goblin took that as being the a stondous amount of money, so every time we did something I would ask for 3 gold coins. It escalated to the point at the end of the campaign where we took a king for ransom and when they asked what we wanted I cut everyone yelling "3 GOLD COINS" It was fun, because my character was bad at being evil, but the minmax build was so good that people usually keept me around for that (the most powerful evil being in the group being an idiot), something like Veigar from league of legends.
@@cashclam1126 Cause this was back during that dumb "Kid Mode" Phase of UA-cam where they would take down animator's work because it looks like it is for kids so they were forced to either set it to kid mode (Which gets no ads) or remove it / say its full adults only
UA-cam went on a bender some years back of 'anything animated is for kids', and having them not flagged as kids content got your nuts put in a vice. Zee as such hid a lot of things and left a lot more off site. This is where things like the fireball spell video went.
@@tanall5959 it was so much worse than that. UA-cam started flagging animation as for kids without the creator's consent, then punished them because the content wasn't suitable for kids.
That big guy is like "I only know Gabriella for less then a day, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this dungeon and then myself"
Some of these animations feel like they're either from an alternate universe or if I was in a coma, and doctors were trying to summon my consciousness from the abyss with audio from your videos.
In one of my campaigns we have a carpet with a teleportation circle stitched into it. we keep it rolled up in a bag of holding. The dm balances it by utilizing a lot of dungeons or important locations that are functionally demiplanes, which prevents its use during certain sections. very convenient since we have a well established base and like going back there between outings
This is hilarious in that Gabriella is basically a non-character on your channel. I remember her from one episode, because you've taken all of the episodes with her down I'm assuming. It kind of goes to show that this strange celebration of 'our favorite characters' is definitely not for newer people who have been watching you for several months only, which is cool in that I'm getting to see some hidden stuff I never saw before, but sad to know that there's so much not available to see.
The animated time lapses are always beautiful. Unique to see but makes so much sense when translating techniques to different mediums. You really do raise the bar for quality in this niche area of content.
@@Eddie42023He got Doxxed; essentially his personal information was leaked and jerkwads started sending him and his loved ones death threats and other unsavory things.
Reminds me of a goblin from when an online group I was with during lockdown played Lost Mines of Phandelver. Long story short, a sole surviving goblin offered to show us where the bandits the goblins worked for were, and get us around their traps. The Warforged (I think he was a druid) decided the safest way to do this, since we were going into a town, was to put the goblin in a chest carrier like an infant and bandage it to disguise it at an "injured gnome" ally. The goblin put up with several indignities along the way, including being menaced by my wizard's "wolf" (her terrier familiar) that it was terrified of. Then our dwarven barbarian died...and the player asked the DM if he could play the goblin, as a rogue. And that is how the goblin became a full party member and got out of the baby carrier.
Yeah, "Divine casters don't have known spells, they know all of them" is one of those pieces of information that everyone doesn't know until they do know, and then they take it for granted. I'm just lucky I worked at a game shop for a couple of years and had to explain that enough times that it stays at the front of my mind.
A random goblin being adopted by the party is always awesome, it happened with the last campaign I ran. Now he is happily married to a treasure hunter.
Claric was my first ever class, used it to get a taste for magic play. Played a charisma build as my first character, just to see how far charisma takes you.
When I saw the thumbnail of the video I thought this was a spell that summoned a massive parade run by goblins that completely disrupts whatever was going on in the game
My one irl dm who happened to be a rpg horror story creation machine fought with me for an entire day over whether or not I knew all my Druid spells. Thank you good sir.
Even with the one of Gabriella at the end I've already seen, BRAVO. I love the little goblin and this was great to see, I was wondering if she was in more than just that episode.
Gabriella is LIFE!!! I definitely made a bard named Breccia loosely based on Gabriella, and every time I bring her out she’s everyone’s favorite character!
Funny enough, another way to read Invisibility rules is that only things that are currently on the person become invisible. So no items appearing/disappearing when picked or let go by invisible person. Of course, even this could be abused. Like making invisible traps, by dropping stuff around.
A point on Clerics: you could easily make an entire team of Clerics and have a fully fleshed out party. Clerical Error would be a great name for the campaign.
The way I'd rule Magic Circle is that it has to be inscribed on a surface that are charged by the natural magical Leylines connected through the earth. That's how you get from place to place. You're transmitted through the magical current that connects from one place to the next. The deck of a ship wouldn't work because the wood is dead, but on a giant tree it would.
You know that 80ft per round is only 9mph or 18mph if you're double moving every round. So you're really not going that fast compared to modern times lol
“I’m using prestigination, this is not permanent. This is not vandalism.” Is just a fun line
"I don't care if it speaks...netherese"
Don't know why that line cracks me up so much, probably the pause.
Fun fact: Gabriella is a recurring character in my campaigns. She’s a merchant who appears in dungeons at random, sells magic items at a markup, and kept grubrat’s skeleton to make fun of him.
This is perfect
Reminds me of For the king game
That's so wholesome
Just out of curiosity what lvl is she.

I hope they will be of use to you in the time before you are cold and unbreathing forever."
the disclaimer of "here is the starting line (I am using prestidigitation this is NOT permanent this is NOT vandalism)" is so neat.
This is a Casey Neistat spoof and it’s hilarious
Gabriella & The Dumb Boys is basically every D&D group when the players want to adopt every monster they come across.

my favorite Gabriella moment is during the invisibility animated spellbook when she stabs Zee in the neck
It's a great moment

"Too much?" -Gabriella
You don’t need to illustrate invisible objects. This is genius
The 2nd edition monstrous manual has, among the actual artwork credits, 2 people (Tim Beach and Doug Stewart) credited for the invisible stalker picture. The picture is entirely blank.
@@samuelgreen308 how many artists does it take to draw an invisible stalker? Two, one to draw the border and one to not draw the monster!
He could have also only used the sketch/lineart for the invisible characters/objects
Whenever I think of Teleportation Circle, I always envision a Stargate because of the whole sigil thing lol
First sigil... locked.
Does this mean we may get the older Animated Spellbooks back?

You have to be very careful not to say the S-word while you're standing on the rug in your inner sanctum.
That's probably why they set it that way. So they could be sure he'd give the carpet back.
Not gonna lie, but Gabriella has always been my favorite character of this series. There are a few contenders... but contenders they will forever be.
Love the implication that the flying carpet was fast as hell, when in reality it only does around 9 mph, or not even 15 kmh. Bikes go faster on a regular cruise than that.
This made me smile. Being able to see these old episodes with Gabriella again was great. The new stuff was fun too. ☺

The music with the animation works really well. I love it ❤ Big props to your team
It's so good to see these older animations back! >w

I have been looking for BoogieBounce ever since the magic carpet episode seemingly disappeared. I can die peacefully now.

A point on Clerics: you could easily make an entire team of Clerics and have a fully fleshed out party. Clerical Error would be a great name for the campaign.
This is everything I wanted, needed, and hoped for.
The way I'd rule Magic Circle is that it has to be inscribed on a surface that are charged by the natural magical Leylines connected through the earth. That's how you get from place to place. You're transmitted through the magical current that connects from one place to the next. The deck of a ship wouldn't work because the wood is dead, but on a giant tree it would.
