Me: "He has a plan"
Nate: *doesn't even consider the possibility that he might lose*
Me: "He has a plan"
Nate: *takes his shotgun instead of a pistol*
Me: "He has a plan"
Nate: *makes idle chitchat with Bellows about how he's going to kill him*
Me: "He has a plan"
Nate: *announces his Hesitant hindrance*
Me: "He DEFINITELY has a plan"
Nate: *loses the card reveal*
Me: "...he has a plan?"
Bellows: *shoots Nate clean through the chest*
Me: "He... has a plan..."
Nate: *keels over*
Me: "He has a plan, right?"
Doctor: *holds up arms in an X shape*
Me: "I'm starting to think he might not have a plan"
Johnny has consistently played DM's pet. Whenever he's not behind the screen, he's doing everything he can to support the one who is. I think he deliberately made Nate to die to sort of prove the stakes.
@@discordlexia2429Johnny uses they/them, the character Nate uses he/him.
@@discordlexia2429 Agreed. It was so rough, but thinking back on it now I'm pretty damn certain Johnny knew that Nate was going to lose against Bellows. Maybe not that Nate would get killed, but definitely that Nate was going to lose. I think Andy might have had a good idea about it too, but that could be his brilliant acting as Bellows.
But also, I believe in the weird west dead PCs can become undead and come back, so he might have been planning to die as OP said, so he could have the hilarious concept of an undead gravedigger.
nah pretty sure nate is some sort of undead
I like to imagine that as Nate crumpled to the ground, the last words escaping his trembling lips were a final "aw, beans..."
Instead of a bright white light that some people claim to see when they've had near death experiences, I like to think Nate sees a vision of his wife Juni holding a big pot of beans, welcoming him to the dinner table. "You're just in time for dinner, Nate, I've made your favourite." 😢😭
@@dee... I love this so much. Can this be canon please?
This is headcanon for me now.
@@dee...Well, I *wasn't* gunna cry. But now...thanks for that.
I'd like to point out the irony in the fact that the first character death in the entire Oxventure canon is a character played by *Johnny.* 🤣
You know that is a fair point.
I sure hope carzon will be okay.
I assume you mean player character, because *loads* of (non-player) characters played by Johnny have died in Oxventure 😉
Those poor orphans...
Johnny wanted the Oxventure world to be more difficult and with consequences that they made themself the first consequence.
I love Jonny's character in this one! 'The fabulous jerk sisters' 😅
Edit: Oh no
yep - never thought I'd see the day one of these would happen on Oxventure
@@mynameiswritinwater It is in tune to the more realistic gritty setting. But who knows maybe Nate is under a hexslinger spell and "zombie"-slave comes back after bein shot. ^^
@@nowhereman6360 aware of what the system can do (I play and master it myself ) - i simply did not believe the way the meta- group dynamics would ever wander down that road. There's just never been something this permanent in any of the Ox-RPG stuff, and it never seemed likely. The RPG stuff is very comedic, quite laissez faire and "lets have a fun narrative" driven
@@mynameiswritinwaterI thought it feels a bit like Blades in the Dark but I don't know much about any of the game mechanics in general lol
Nate could be a harrowed in which case thats mostly just going to annoy Nate.
I love how Johnny has kept the Oxventurers from dying for years but Andy kills Johnny in episode 2 😂😂
I wonder if it was planned. There was no saving rolls or anything or is that the game mode where there are quick and easy deaths?
@@esteban280889 The duels in Deadlands have even rules to prevent savings. The setting itself is grim and deadly - and duels are even deadlier.
@@esteban280889 It clearly wasn't planned. Nate drew against Bellows by chance, and everyone looked even more surprised when Nate died. (Johnny looked less surprise, but only in the sense that you got yourself in a sticky situation and know deep down there's no way out)
@@mar_speedman may not be fully planned, but definitely trying to get himself killed. You wouldn't chose that disadvantage in character creation and put yourself in harms way otherwise
@@esteban280889 Well you see, on the one hand, it does kinda look like Nate had a death wish.
On the other hand, Johnny genuinely seemed to forget that particular disadvantage, and remember it part way?
But also, I'm beginning to wonder if Nate's already a zombie considering his earlier behavior. He's awfully careless, and has trouble breathing while sleeping. Old man troubles? Or zombie? We'll find out, I guess.
Johnny walking off deadpan in the end with Jane muttering "What is happening?" and Andy grinning like a cheshire cat was just magnificent! Chef's kiss! 😙🤌
I can't tell if Andy was in character as Bellows or not with that grin and knowing we have to wait a week for the rest of this. Andy as Bellows is bone-chilling. The voice, the sort of crazed smiling, and the music make it absolutely terrifying and amazing. I can't wait for more.
@@SolaScientia to me it just looked like he was immensely enjoying himself! 😆
@@katfromthekong414 That too. I just rewatched that whole last bit. It's so sad, but it's so masterful. It gives me the same sort of vibes I get from him when he's all "oh, oh no" in Fear Academy and such. He does evil so damn well. I actually swore at him at the end when he did that grin at the end.
@@SolaScientiaAndy's whole Bellows character made me genuinely tense up due to the creep factor. He is the most unsettling character in any "oxventure presents..." show ever (and that's saying something because we all remember Flannery). Seriously, massive props to Andy for that chilling ending. Also Johnny as Nate did a perfect job from start to (premature) end. Johnny is an absolute hoot with the characters they create.
@@dee... I really got chills from Bellows. He plays Corazon so casually and light that it really is a big change when he's sneaky and more evil. I love his Edvard since Edvard was quite different from Corazon, and the bit where Edvard pulls out a frag grenade in the foundry is such an epic moment. Now seeing him GM and play absolutely evil character is truly phenomenal.
I've loved all of Johnny's characters. Kasimir is still one of my faves.
Delacy and Nate is the double act I didn’t know I needed in my life
Edit: I should really keep my thoughts to myself until the end of videos.
Oh... Oh no...
Knowing Deadlands... Keep a little hope.
That was such a good edit. 😆
you really jinxed this one, Michael
Oops
The journey of realization Andy's face goes on at 51:45 when Garnet points out they never discussed stakes for the game is a thing of beauty.😅😅😅
They could just retcon she bet the $200 she should have had from the first job, since they all forgot about it.
That's an annoyed Perfectionist right there, swearing on the inside that he forgot. And it had to be Jane who pointed it out.
It's early in the campaign and it's a crowded field but I think Andy's given us a real contender for most hateful villain
That’s true since his villain made my blood genuinely boil which is a first for a oxventure villain
That voice made me shudder so much. Loving just how dark this is
i want him dead so much my god. the voice andy gave him was bone-chilling.
The music just adds to the sinister air. Andy playing him is perfection and I really got chills watching this one. Even when he was back as the GM saying how they'd leave it there for now felt so evil to me. I need Garnet and Delacy to get real creative with how they kill Bellows. I somehow have to wait a week to see how this plays out.
@@SolaScientia agreed I'm going to need a looooooot of dynamite and also bullets and maybe knives to go in hin
28:15 “It’s from Paris!”
“… Texas.”
Laughed almost as hard as Johnny, love how Jane just had that one ready to go
It was Luke who said both Paris & Texas - Jane just laughed at a similar time
Andy is doing an amazing job with this villain. His voice and expressions are legitimately unsettling and threatening. I don't know if we've ever seen him go dark like this, but it's incredible to see.
Gave me chills!
I wanna know what music they cut in for the villain, definitely adds that extra dread to an already unsettling character.
@@haravikk The music is so damn good for it. What I noticed on my 2nd viewing is that we first hear that theme when Johnny is explaining fear levels to Jane and Luke (and the audience). Hearing it then and knowing it's Bellows' theme is really good.
As a Texan, Luke’s “it’s from Paris….Texas” line killed me 😂
As a former resident of Madrid, New Mexico, that definitely gave me a chuckle.
@@inscrutablemungus4143 yeah, as a former resident of Paris.... Texas, this amuses me greatly :D
@@marhawkman303 I love how America has all of the Walmart-brand European cities.
@@inscrutablemungus4143Hey, Madrid NM is a lovely town! My parents' house is decorated with paintings from there.
@@inscrutablemungus4143 There's an American band, Little Feat, that has a song to that effect, at least in Texas: ua-cam.com/video/ZqlzgXGD2fg/v-deo.htmlsi=JDARptLNNCd_U4cJ
Andy is doing an incredible job.
He is so far considering like Ellen with Teatime Adventures and Mike with Blade Runner it’s his first time behind the screen rather than in front of it
Yeah come on Jane!
Indeed, love the voices he’s using and the descriptions of all the characters.
@@oxfanblink4115Blade Runner, I thought?
@@leeeorama Thanks they are probably similar in some ways though
Andy is legitimately terrifying.
Andy's character work sent chills down my spine, especially as Bellows - absolutely terrifying stuff
I knew Deadlands was going to be great, but I had no idea how immersive Andy's acting and descriptions would be! He is absolutely killing it! I'm really looking forward to next episode.
@@dee... I love all the games they've played and all the various characters we've met (both player characters and assorted NPCs by various GMs), but Andy's portrayal of Bellows is perfection to me. He fully leaned into it and absolutely nailed the voice and the mannerisms. The others are damn good, but something about how Andy portrayed Bellows puts him a step above with that character. I can't wait to see how the next episode plays out. As bone-chilingly evil as Bellows is I can't wait to see more of him. I hope we get to see Delacy vs Bellows, because Luke and Andy playing off each other in character is going to be a treat.
Absolutely. I actually went „holy crap“ in that scene. I watched the episode twice today because of Bellows (and the ending).
Did not see that coming. But I personally don't mind a riskier and darker approach to storytelling. It could lead to some great moments that would not be possible in Oxventure.
Definitely.
Same. I was on the edge of my seat during the dueling section and actually had my hands over my mouth. I also legit teared up. Andy as Bellows is now one of my favorite character portrayals by any of the group. Sheer evil perfection.
It's part of what I loved about Luke Gming Blades! Can't wait for more! I've always been a sucker for high stakes stories.
@@ceilingfanenthusiast6041 Yeah, even when Luke DM'd a D&D session, I found him to be much less forgiving that Johnny.
This isn't a knock on Johnny, mind you. They are just usually more forgiving than Luke was then and on into Blades.
And now Andy seems to be the same. You can still have fun and be entertaining, but it's important to remind players they aren't covered in plot armor.
@Pseudowolf i completely agree. I loooveeddd Blades tbh. Luke managed such an incredible dramatic and tense tone. I was genuinely really invested in the stakes. I almost wish Johnny got another chance at Dming because Oxventure has been firmly established as having a goofy tone. They're a great player and I would love to see them show off what they can do as a GM!
I feel bad saying it because I really don't mean to knock Johnny as a GM. Ultimately though, Oxventure started as a one off. I love it and find it hilarious, but I'd love to see a serious campaign led by Johnny.
Johnny: No PC will ever die in my campaign!
Luke: No PC will ever die in my campaign!
Andy: No PC will ever die in the first session of my campaign!
1:25:52 I was already laughing from the awesome sound effects of the gun fight, especially the blood squirting out of the carotid artery... and then Jane absolutely killed it with "oh no, his white suit!"
That was her inner Prudence 🤣
@@ivykiz That's why Prudence wore red ;)
On a meta level, this whole episode was really elevated by how lax and chill the rest of the Oxventure has been so far, giving me a false sense of security. The thought of a character death never even crossed my mind, and while Andy was doing an incredible job at selling how intimidating Bellows was, I kept thinking "lol they're gonna clown on this guy soon." This was all done so amazingly well, from the music to the performances and everything else.
I know, right?! I was expecting Bellows to be absolutely owned by Nate and it would be super funny. At worst I thought maybe Nate might get injured and that would also be funny. But damn, I was not ready for a death! And Andy's sinister portrayal of Bellows just got darker. Bellows is legit an amazing baddie. I'm hoping they take some gruesome revenge to get justice for Nate.
It really helps to drive home that this character is an actual threat. And while I like Nate, I'm actually kind of hoping that Johnny comes back with a new character because Nate being 100% dead and not coming back somehow would really elevate the fights in this campaign.
I love that they have these other games to take risks with. Oxventure is the comfy, funny, chaotic comfort food of their TTRPs. Everyone must be protected to derail another day. It’s fun to introduce new games with higher stakes where they can take chances.
@@Pseudowolf YES! I've played 5 characters in my current Hyperborea campaign... and I've had 5 deaths. Yeah, I got better the fifth time, but only that one.
I dunno, Bellows felt to me like a lethal man from the very beginning. I did hold onto hope that he would spare Nate, but I didn't once expect that Nate would kill him. In fact, I'm not even sure Delacy could kill him. Well, maybe he could with Garnet's help at least
I knew Andy would enjoy this game system if he tried it. Glad he brought the group along for the ride. =)
Andy has established that he isn’t pulling any punches in this game, and I am here for it!
Props to Andy for an absolutly terrifying villian!
Nate calling the place a "real shithole" and then Johnny just laughing into their hands after that is priceless. I love that it isn't censored. I think my favorite type of reaction is when the player's eyes get really wide. Johnny at the fear level being 4 here. Mike back in Blade in the Dark when Lilith falls on the Chauncey actor in that play. Andy's acting is amazing. I love his portrayal of the man with consumption (I'm just picturing Doc Holiday as portrayed by Val Kilmer in Tombstone). Them forgetting to talk about stakes is also brilliant.
Oh man, the music playing when Bellows rides up and walks in the saloon is amazing. I might have sworn when I realized that Nate was drawn against Bellows right at the start like that.
It's a tense moment, but Garnet having "power points" made me laugh a lot, because all I could picture was actual PowerPoint presentations.
Aw, I love Garnet and Delacy thinking of ways to protect/help Nate. Oh man, Andy playing Bellows is absolutely brilliant and I'm getting chills from it.
Holy shit! I can't believe we have to wait a week. I'm legit tearing up. Just...wow. I'm speechless.
Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of PowerPoint presentations too 😂
Justice for Nate! Justice for Nate! We demand justice! I hope Delacey and Garnett absolutely destroy Bellows. I need to see Bellows turned into the consistency of an exploded can of beans!
@@dee... I cannot wait to see what they decide to do to Bellows. I have a feeling Delacy isn't going to want to wait around for the other duels and try to kill him legally. I want to see what other hexes Garnet has and if we'll get another exploded Sasquatch situation. I wouldn't say no to them doing a bit of torture before the exploding.
lol they are heavily self-censoring. Johnny for example, almost every other word out of their mouth is cunt or fuck outside Oxventure stuff. And Andy and Luke say fuck a lot on their podcast.
@@masondeross I know. I watched Johnny and Aoife playing Bloodborne back when Johnny was still at Eurogamer and they both were swearing a ton, lol. I couldn't do what they do and have to censor myself, because I swear so much when gaming (and when not gaming, to be honest) that it's practically instinctive.
I'm just used to there being a bleep when they let something slip, particularly in their D&D vids. One of my favorite Oxbox vids is a very early one of Andy and Jane playing Adam's Venture and Andy is so frustrated by the end that he tells the guy that he "fixed your fucking windmills" and it's not been bleeped out.
36:40 for anyone wanting to see Johnny's 😱 reaction
Love Johnny's immediate "What?!" reaction to the fear level being 4 whilst Luke and Jane are joking around. It makes the reveal that Johnny knows what the fear level mechanically means even better.
Also RiP Nate. You were gone too soon. Hope Johnny can create a new character and get their ass back to the game next time. Not that I think they wouldn't, but still.
Thank you for burying the spoiler further in your comment - wish others had done that coz I watch on mobile and the top comment gets shown, and it spoiled the ending for me 😭
Aaaaaaand Andy worked Arthur Morgan into the story as Garnet's poker opponent. Naturally.
It could also be doc holiday
It was more Doc Holliday he actually did a Tombstone quote and was mimicking Kilmer's portrayal
@@joshuarose1381 Glad to see I'm not the only one who was picturing that. I loved that bit. Seems every Old West town needs at least one person with consumption.
It was definitely Doc Holiday from Tombstone. He directly quoted Doc multiple times
Yeah, definitely thought Doc Holliday
I really love how Benjamin Bellows was introduced in the saloon. The mood was incredible and super creepy. Really well done. All of it. Amazing! I think this episode set the mood for the series extremely well. Love it, thank you! Also, I really loved Johnny‘s absolute dedication until the end. Superb.
Andy is really good as a GM/Marshal. Just killing it.
Killing Nate, too.
can't wait to see Nate come back harrowed, fingers crossed they do it🤞 love the concept of an undead gravedigger, and honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was the direction Johnny wanted to take all along 👀
Was wondering if he was all along. Maybe his plan is to "die" so he can sneak around?
I agree with you that it's likely the direction intended all along, but do wish it wasn't as I'd actually like a sense of danger in the games and doing this would go 'One out of one' for dead PCs being bought back.
The Harrowed does make a lot of sense too. As a character Nate hasn't really shown any strengths, everything they've done has just been the bumbling old guy. This kind of character works well in books but less so in RPGs, and with a point-buy system like Savage Worlds you end up wondering where they've spent the points they got from the obvious hindrances. From what we've seen it's not combat, physical, social, intellectual, magical.. or anything which has turned up in the first two sessions- and he should be roughly on par with those who sling guns or hexes.
Now having a nice old guy who's intent is to die early and come back Harrowed? That's a character that fits in more in terms of power, means the party fills two of three 'weird' Deadland slots (Jane's Huckster is already there, Harrowed is missing, Mad science may be too close to Edvard) and adds some nice storytelling fun on the way as well as giving Andy a nice way to make Bellows scarier.
I've played RPGs for long enough to be familiar with character death- but do think it could have an extra bit of 'Oh noes!' if you've had official artwork drawn and sold merch with the character on it.
@@normal_vector I dunno, it doesn't look intentional. Maybe Johnny intended to play Nate in a carefree way that would end up with him dead, but I don't think the particular way he died was scripted. Not unless Johnny and Andy acted the hell out of all the random coincidences that lead to Nate's death
@@mar_speedmanI'm not sure what you meant by coincidences? Johnny put Nate's name in the hat, chose to use a shotgun *on his back* for a quickdraw contest (when he could have borrowed a pistol like the convict did), all knowing that Nate was a real liability when it comes to shooting. Also, Johnny made it real clear on the train that Nate's body is a ruin and even just falling over could kill him. At that point I had a feeling that Johnny would place Nate in harms way to provide a good story beat
@@alexharrison2743 Nate might be a bit reckless, but he's not that incompetent. Johnny was probably just not expecting to face Bellows straight away. That's what I mean. Nate happened to, on a roll, face Bellows. Or at least so it seems
This campaign of the Oxventure crew has been fantastic so far. All the players seem to be loving their rolls judging by how well they play against each other. Andy is doing a wonderful job as the Marshal. His storytelling and voices are top notch.
I never thought I'd see the day where *that* happens in an oxventure role playing campaign. This is so insanely good and I can't wait to see where it's heading. Definitely going to need so much more Deadlands.
At this point I am convinced Nate has been harrowed this whole time but the tension for next week is still killing me omg
I'm guessing the other two isn't in this adventure because they had to go to therapy after witnessing garnet explode a sasquatch lol
I bet the reason for one of them is horse related trauma 😂
@@backonlazer791 omg I completely forgot about that. It's such a good bit!
The tremble in Andy's voice at that "thanks for watching" at the end almost breaks my heart more then the minutes before!
Whoever did/chose the music for Bellows did an amazing job. It compliments Andy’s acting so well.
I’m not too concerned about the end, Johnny’s a good role player and Nate’s reaction at the end screamed a sort of Mark of Cain sort of character. Especially all his stories about all those dangerous jobs that he somehow survived.
Fascinating whenever a fellow SPN fan pops up in the wild. I completely agree with you.
Jane's character should get a copy of "Expert at the Card Table" by S.W. Erdnase. It's the original bible for card cheats.
In-setting Hoyle's is essentially the book that Hucksters learnt their magic from, which I guess is why she mentioned it.
she has a copy.
@@dochollowday8288 Correct. Hoyle was the first huckster, and the secrets of hundreds of hexes are hidden in the text that only other hucksters can recognize.
She isn't a card cheat. They use trickery and deception. She uses devils and magic. You are suggesting she buys a book on close up magic, when she is a wizard.
She could, if it hadn’t been published in 1902, a little over 20 years after the setting of Deadlands.
… IF THIS IS HOW THE SERIES BEGINS, I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE IT GOES! Amazing Marshaling, Andy!
I absolutely love how the flashback system has wormed its way into the minds of players to the point that it came up both in DnD (with Corazon wanting to flashback installing elf-proof locks on his captain's quarters) and now in here. It's such a good Blades mechanic and Luke trying to use it to his advantage here is honestly the best
Only 10 minutes in and absolutely cracking up. I love Delacey; I relate to Luke as a player so much. Nate is so adorable. Jane is wonderful as always.
Andy is a great Marshall.
Don't get too attached to Nate.
*Nate was so adorable
You know, I wasn't really worried... until I saw how little of the episode was left. Cause it was not going to get wrapped up that quickly. Which meant a cliffhanger.
Everyone was amazing. But cannot tell you how relieved I am about how Andy/Bellows dealt with Delacey at the very end.
Side note, that gunshot sound effect that we hear BEFORE the description starts? *chefs kiss*
So glad someone noticed that, it's so so so good
That smile on Andy at the very end. Oh my goodness, that was the best smile.
What! Just what? Ahhhh! I am at a loss for words. It was a fun watch, but at the same time I need to know what happens next! How can you do this to me Andy!? Ahhh I can't wait until the next episode.
~Ps~ But yeah, ya'll are wonderful and did a great job XD
Johnny rolls up a new character. :D
It's crazy to me how believable Andy is as an old timey western personality. That and how hilarious Jonny is as old characters.
Loving Andy's vaguely northern train conductor accent
I love Jonny as not a dm. Knowing that things are bad because of knowing the rules is funny.
Goddamn was not expecting the kind of direction this just took!! So excited for next episode to see what happens 👀 Loving Garnet's sneaky hexes btw
Andy, I had no idea you could be this scary and threatening.
Goddamn this was tense.
Can we give props to just how amazingly well Andy plays Ben Bellows?! The character is soooo despicable and sleazy, while being intimidating in his tone and that little evil smile. Masterwork of acting with this one 👏 Bravo!
"I'm going to enjoy this, Nate" gave me CHILLS. Andy had my heart racing with his portrayal of Bellows. I was so tense by the end of the video! It's the first time ever in any "oxventure presents..." videos I felt legitimately creeped out. I mean, Flannery was a weird creepy voldo-esque son of a B, but Bellows is alarmingly calm and sadistic. I hope we get lots more Bellows in the next episode!
I am loving the extra camera work and editing. Everyone seems to be really getting into their roles. As for the end? Bl**dy ell!
“This place is a s***hole!” caught me so off guard I cried! 😂😂😂
Luke’s character reminds me of The Kid from Unforgiven
This episode has a Quick and the Dead feel to it.
And l swear thou were supposed to get paid like $200 each for the train test 😂
Was it money for the heist or for the adventure?
@@derschwartzadder
I’m sure in episode 1 they were to be paid for the heist…then a lot more for the bounties .
I’ll have to rewatch it now 👍
I am more reminded by Miyazawa Kenji ( personality:carefree traits:physically strong) but this is anime. ^^
Haven't seen the Quick and the Dead in a while but I'm pretty sure some of the characters are direct references. Definitely remember a convict character dueling in the movie as well.
@@Felixplays_456
Oh you’ve got Gene Hackman like character running the town.
You’ve got Sharon Stones character even if she lost.
You got Lance Hendrickson character the loud mouth.
Only person missing was Russell Crowes character .
Even the doctor who declared them dead 🙀
I love that lukes changing the voice. Delacey was alright but thats not sustainable
i did NOT expect that, nor did i expect how brutal and quick it was. i sat and cried for 5 minutes once the episode ended.
andy, you're NAILING IT. edge of my seat the last 5 minutes. absolutely incredible.
I was in legit tears after that. Andy's portrayal of Bellows is bone-chilling and the music just adds to it for me. I can't believe we have to wait a week to see how this plays out.
A week?! We have to wait a week after that?? Hell naw, we need revenge or Nate the Immortal Grave Digger or something right the heck now!!
@@SolaScientia right?? the music was PERFECT, such an unbelievably harrowing experience, and we're only on chapter 2!!!
is it friday yet?
I am so glad I didn't go into the comments because I didn't expect that ending at all and I was flabbergasted. Loving all the characters so far, and Andy plays the NPCs so well, Bellows is such a chilling performance. I can't believe I have to wait a whole week to find out how this ends.
The bacon and beans betrayed Nate. "Meat strips du juor" will never be the same.
That was intense, I can’t wait to see where this series goes. Im absolutely loving it so far.
I will never emotionally recover from this
Wow, Andy is not messing around. This is absolutely incredible, I can't wait for the next one
I think it's hilarious that No Security Deposit Bill is keeping Humble Ned.... Despite the fact that Delacey told Bill that Ned was dead... and the whole kneecapping deal.
(Rex Randall? You mean Doug Dimmadome of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome)
OH MY GOD. And that smile from Andy at the end! This was an amazing session and I am so excited for the next!
I feel like we're teetering on the edge of the big plunge into the the true Weird West. My Blades in the Dark character is a cowgirl-esque Ghostwrangler and this series is just what I needed to give me some fantastical cowboy inspo.
Andy as Bellows reminded me so much of Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian, absolutely flipping horrifying. Brilliant stuff!
We think Ben is the villain but really its Andy for making us wait a week to find out what happens next
Andy was absolutely incredible and terrifying as Bellows in this and I'm honestly in awe of the direction of this new series!!!!
Bellows is legit my favourite ever "oxventure presents..." villain. Andy did a freaking AWESOME job. I can't wait to see what next episode holds.
Andy is basically living his The Quick and the Dead fantasy, isn't he? Luke revealed that Delacy was inspired by DiCaprio's character last week, and now this competition happens. Love it.
This is perhaps the only Western reference that I would get, and Andy immediately used it. I love it.
My therapist is going to know about this
Wow... just wow. i will not spoil what made me go wow but its something i did not expect :)) Great episode, cant wait for the next one! Bravo Marshal Andy.
Marshal Andy.
"the quick and the dead" and "thombstone" movie references from Andy are awesome.
If any GM was going to do it I had a feeling it would be Andy... or Dob being Dob...
Crap I have to wait a whole week now to find out....
They've always been good, but damn, the acting of the group keeps getting better and better. The accents, the expressions on their faces. It's always such a delight to follow the adventures of the oxventure team.
This series is quite frankly, amazing. Andy is perfect as a Marshall and as a GM, plus the players, Johnny, Jane and Luke's characters all complement each other so well. So thank you for that your awesome people you.
The father-son dynamic between Johnny and Luke is quite fun. (Sorry I forgot the character names)
Edit: what is happening?!?!
God, Andy makes *such* a good cowboy, it's incredible
Hi welcome to Deadlands it's the second episode and the comic relief is in a death match with the Big Bad.
Doc Holliday stopped by the Quick and the Dead on his way to Tombstone. The crossover I never knew I needed.
I don't even know how to wind down from that, i'm so keyed up! Absolutely incredible work from everyone, i'm so excited for the rest of this series.
Nate? Nate! Naaaaaate!
Wow Andy is really doing a great job with this. Makes me want to try Weird West again if it's still on gamepass
Excellent Metal Gear Solid reference! Was just about to write it until I saw your post!
It's wild you said this, because I had the exact same thought and it IS still on GamePass, and it's the Series X|S version, no less! I downloaded it while watching the second episode, and I'm just sad that its story probably won't be as amazing as this was! 😂 I played like the first hour or so of Weird West maybe a month ago, and I thought it was great, but not enough to drag me away from the veritable smorgasbord of new games that have dropped on Xbox & PS5 this year, whether they're on GamePass / PS+ or not. I'm glad this gave me an excuse to jump back into it...
Ooh, this game's got some teeth!😮 Poor Nate.
Dead Man's Worth could be some sneaky foreshadowing for what's to come.. I'm excited.
Did Johnny literally create the least functional character he possibly could *hoping* this would happen, so that he could help Andy show off that this world is more dangerous?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. Johnny might not have hobbled his character with that intent, but might have found he wasn't liking the character the way he hoped. I've had DMs help a player "reroll a character"
@@CorwinAlexander He took every bad trait, seemed to have no useful skills, and consistently acted pretty much useless. I really do think he was deathbait.
@@CorwinAlexanderI definitely think Johnny worked with Andy to kill off their character, but I don't think it's because they didn't like playing him. Johnny was clearly having the time of their life as Nate, probably for the exact same reason Slim is having such a good time in the contest. I think they just wanted to kill a character off to show that the West is as dangerous a place as they say it is.
Yeah it definitely felt planned - from the moment Nate put their name in I thought it might have been the case but when Andy announced the first round line up and he hadn't made a show of randomising the draw it seemed like it had been planned since before the start.
Whether Nate somehow survived, or comes back undead, or Johnny is another character in a few weeks, or Johnny never returns, is a much more open question to me. I don't think Jane and Luke knew it was planned, but from Luke earnestly asking about next of kin I think they all knew it might happen, and I think they were always playing the cards fairly but knew it might well happen because of the odds of success with that hindrance against an expert?
Also!
Johnnys Pronouns are They/Them
Freaking wow! I didn’t see that ending coming. Ben Bellows is officially the most sinister and evil villain in all of Oxventures. I’m absolutely stunned.
Wait. Wha- wait. No. What? I- I am so... I have so many emotions right now
I love these. The thing that keeps bringing me back tho is how much you all genuinely enjoy playing w each other. Please never stop
“Can’t make an omelet without breaking a few Sasquatches.” Classic murder hobo logic.
Always loved Ox but the acting in this one -- wow! Super suspenseful!
i’m a little sad to see nate go, and i definitely felt for delacey, but jane’s reaction is just so funny. “what? what’s happening??” because they’ve literally never had a death before lmao
Chapter 1 was great, looking forward to this!!!
Oof. Excellent work from Andy, and from all the players, you all are doing amazing, but also the Oofest of Oofs.
There's a real Quick and the Dead vibe to this episode.
I can't believe you've done this!
Also, amazing work, well done all of you!
I feel like Andy went back and watched all the old Western movies and combined the bad guys to make this villain. His creepy ass voice, the smile, the mannerisms, they're all perfect.
Andy's Lancashire train conductor - cracking
This episode was a shot through the heart 💘
And Andy's to blame.
I love seeing Johnny play stuff like this.. They are such a good roleplayer
27:16 Didn't Victoria pay them each a significant first payment for acquiring the history train item?
That confused me as well tbh.
The Oxventurers are not know for their memory of things they've only just recently done.
@@BlandoGaming Yep. Well, not for _having_ such memories. :)
woohooo.. chapter 1 was great..
i definitely have watched it.
The Quick and the Deadlands
There are many things to say about this episode, and the Deadlands series so far, but most has already been said. What I'll add is that I love that Andy's NPCs react as real people would to the conversations and the things the characters say, rather than purposefully ignoring asides, or things the players say without thinking and then want to row back. Makes the towns and other settings feel 'real' - shopkeepers who aren't sure how to react to being threatened because it hasn't really happened to them before, guards who are actually competent and recognize when someone's acting suspiciously etc.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
How COULD you?! You evil bastard! And just look at Andy's smug, sanctimonious face at the end @1:37:55! Well played, all of you, and Jesus. Andy, you scary!
Spoilers if you havent watched the full video yet:
I genuinely thought johnny was gonna reveal that he had the tin bean plate stuffed under his shirt to take the bullet but uh... RIP Nate
Nate's a revenant or similar dead-but-not-really-but-yes-actually-dead person and gave Delacey his phylactory/anchor thingy. Its the Old West, these things happen! (Ghost Riders in the Sky intensifies)
