The beginning fight couldn’t have gone any better. They burned a gerblin alive, then froze and shattered him to death. They cut one in half down the middle. They chucked an ax 25 feet and killed one instantly. No damage taken, minimal property damage. I know it was practically a tutorial, but holy shit that was efficient.
First of all, I find it amazing that you put managed to reply to a me on an 8 month old comment. Second of all, I’m sure you do because that is the only reasonable explanation for this
@@locke8579 My inbox is empty most of the time, because most of the time I’m not able to ruin your life as much as I want. You made the wrong enemy all those years ago.
This podcast changed my fucking brain chemistry. It's going to be fucking wild starting over, both with the weird starting shenanigans and antics, and seeing when it finally gets the ball rolling proper. To all, new and returning, I wish y'all the best in your endeavors. May you laugh until your face is red, and cry until your eyes are shriveled.
Coming back for my 4th watch through, and every time it's been at very different points in life, and I 100% agree on this changing brain chemistry. It always gives something different to take with you, and I can't wait to see where I am by the end of this for the 4th time and Amnesty for the 3rd. Hope you enjoyed your 2nd listen, and cheers to your eventual 3rd
I finished this series more than a year ago, and after a while of not listening to any podcasts, I decided to come back. Just hearing, "The Adventure Zone!" and that intro music sent chills up my whole body. Your podcast has helped me through so much, thank you all!
If you're new to D&D and you want ideas of how you can improvise as either a Player or a Dungeon Master, then the Adventure Zone is probably one of the best series to watch. The McElroys take a pre-made module and just run away with it.
bruh, the sponsor/messages segment at 1:18:30 was 10 minutes long. 2 sponsors, 2 messages from listeners, and a behind the scenes update, and I, a first time listener, wasn't bored. I can tell these guys do a podcast for a living because the sponsor readings sounded like a regular conversation and didn't make me dread listening to it, unlike some other ones I've heard. I will be returning to this podcast in the future!
I got the first two graphic novles of this series (by Carey Pietsh, highly reccomend) and I'm ready to listen to the actual campaign. Can't wait, let's do this.
The fact that the other goblins say not again when Justin, impersonating a goblin, says he got horny from killing tells me that that goblin on the bridge definitely had some secrets we didn't know about
I know, like. I love ya Crit Role but holy shiet divide them up a little better. Like an hour an episode. Sitting down for more than one 4 hour episode is *hard*
The funny thing is most episodes are averaging 3 to 5 hours. I can now sit for long periods of time cause it was quite the task watching all of the episodes
@@EzekiesAcheron You could watch on youtube, and stop during the break, which usually happens about half way through, and then return to it the next day or whatever and pick up after the break...?
My friend DM’d a DND campaign based entirely on this arc as my first DND experience and I loved it. Bought my 13yr old brother the first book in the series and he loved it so much I bought him the other two books for Christmas. I think it’s time to start this podcast for real.
I think I need to listen to this again. This podcast had my in tears from laughter and by the end tears of sadness and joy. The best dnd podcast to ever do it
God I remember when I started listening to this series a mere 4 years ago and everything sounded so confusing...Cantrips? dafuq is that? Saving throw? Um...sure I guess?? And now years later I'm playing BG3 and D&D on my own and am excited to revisit where it all began
Revisiting this series again, I loved it so much back then and the love is very much still here now, just the intro alone shatters and reinforces my heart
Came to listen because I have been reading the comics, just finished “The Eleventh Hour” tonifht, and learned that “The Suffering Game” releases in a few months. I NEED MY FILL UNTIL JULY!
I bought the adventure zone, the book, and I loved it so much that I had to see what else the authors had done (since it seemed like people loved these boys). This lead me right into the Loving arms of TAZ and MBMBAM! Love them so much. Thanks Nashville bookstore!
I found an audio clip from episode 63 from a camp camp animatic and I got so invested in the audio I needed to find to original series and here we are :D
I remember playing this campaign my first time, we didnt get past the dead horses bc we got ambushed and I passed out and my friend kicked me to death on accident
As someone who has played D&D before I love hearing everyone learn about the rules and stuff and I think that it’s adorable and wholesome to see family playing together :)
Shout-out to @zonksdraws on IG for recommending this to me! These guys are hilarious, "my goal for you in this adventure is to invent the Taco" 🤣 "what's your race?" "Uhhh, white." Had me dying lol
you guys sounded like you hated it in the moment but as someone who has listened to this all the way 3 times now I've gotta say... I LOVEEEEEE the story its soooooo good. I play dnd regularly and its fun and we have a decent story but i aspire to be able to world build the way you do. I am so excited to hear more from all of you but mostly with griffin as the DM
3:46 I actually played with Gary Gygax at one of the first GenCons in 1982, and he was looking pretty long-in-the-tooth, then... He died, I think in 2008, so that's straining credulity.....
@@catsoul3022 Eh. I got interested in Critical Role instead, and my brain doesn't really like when I mix stories, so I think I only got through a few episodes of this. Might come back to it eventually
![The Seeds of Conflict | The Ravening War Ep. 1 [Full Episode]](/img/n.gif)
I've only watched the first 8 minutes and I've think I've discovered my new favourite series.
"What's your race?"
"White"
Had me dying.
It gets so much better man. I know you’re three weeks in now. But hoo boy get ready.
One of my personal favorites is: "His name is spelled T-A-A-K-O."
"Are you naming your goddamn wizard Taako?!?"
You could HEAR it hit them.
Listening to this for the first time even though I've been telling myself "I'm gonna do it" for about 2 years now
I might be too biased to say this but its so worth it, I hope you like it!
Same. I tend to dislike dnd podcasts but ive run out of stuff to listen to lol
First time too, wish me luck!

And then it was never revealed

Have you returned yet

@Samantha Smoot Thank you very much
Man this show could’ve been called My Dungeons, My Dragons, and Me
Thank God it wasn't

And thus begins my annual pre-Candlenights relisten.
I’ve seen quite a lot of fan content about this along with reading the graphic novels, so I think that it’s about time I listened to this
Listening to this for the 9th time it never loses its charm for me
Re-listening after probably 3 years.. feels insane to come back and experience it again.
came across this because someone made an animatic of one of these. I gotta say it looks very interesting.

Always love coming back to listen to this towards the end of summer and finish somewhere in the winter (I like to pace it so it lasts)

My mom introduced me to this series about a year ago on our way back from a swim meet and I have become addicted to it
Revisiting this series again, I loved it so much back then and the love is very much still here now, just the intro alone shatters and reinforces my heart
Kept seeing some stuffs about the adventure zone for like, a few years straight and I'm finally giving in and watching it, horray to me
I'm biased, but this series is super worth the listen! I hope you enjoy :D (Plot gets crazy awesome as the story goes on!)
@waterbelow0degrees how’s it coming along for you?
Came to listen because I have been reading the comics, just finished “The Eleventh Hour” tonifht, and learned that “The Suffering Game” releases in a few months. I NEED MY FILL UNTIL JULY!
my friend recommended this bc even after 3 years im still struggling a bit with dnd and i juts dmed for my first time today!
Listening to this for the first time. So far, funny, and enjoyable. Buckling up for an adventure!
Welcome to the adventure zone
You’ve been here as long as you can remember
And you’ll be here much longer
Walked to waterstones today and was grabbed by the graphic novel. Brought it home and I'm dying so had to tune in to listen! You guys are amazing
Welp. Time to relisten to one of my comfort podcasts....again...
I doing that rn
Aaaaand here we go again!
Anyone in 2024 reliving the magic that was this campaign again?
this may be a really long podcast, but boy do i recommend it to anyone who wants to watch if even just a little bit. it is so worth it
All right here I am ready to attack this monster of a podcast let's go episode 1.
This is my second time listening through, never gets old
I thought this was gonna be an animated series but was not disappointed. Yall be clownin 😂
Got the comic, adored it, then found the podcast. I’m super excited :)
I bought the adventure zone, the book, and I loved it so much that I had to see what else the authors had done (since it seemed like people loved these boys). This lead me right into the Loving arms of TAZ and MBMBAM! Love them so much. Thanks Nashville bookstore!
Excuse me but do you know what dungeon game they are using for the podcast?
What these guys got a book
time to listen for the fourth time because im getting the Itches
I still wonder why there isn't a full animated series on this
There are graphic novels but an animated series would be sick
I found an audio clip from episode 63 from a camp camp animatic and I got so invested in the audio I needed to find to original series and here we are :D
Watching this for the first time after a month of telling my self I have to watch this later then forgetting to actally watch it.
i feel like every D&D player's catchphrase is "Each???"
Watching this because I saw a picture of one of the characters on pinterest and I asked who it was, and was recommended to watch this
