I know I’m 3 years late but, Monty’s GMing style is great, the cast is great, an awesome watch, ty everyone 🧙🏼♂️✌🏻
I’m 4 years late, and I think exactly the same !!
@@philippel.9086 lol… same?
@@waybe869 same! 🍻
I was literally about to say the same thing, just another year later! 😂 Also excited for the battlecam!
Don't worry. I'm 4 years late of sitting down and actually watching it.
Audio and video was out of sync for this episode due to a bandwidth issue in our recording system. We have a fix which will resolve the issue for future episodes. Thanks for your understanding!
What's your streaming/record setup? Is your laoptop actually able to handle 2 cameras, 4 mics, OBS, stream, and recording? That's impressive
@Justin Bassett -- We're streaming with 3x Logitech C920s cameras. Audio is 4x SM58s microphones connected to a Mackie mixer. We're using a maxed-out 2015 MacBook Pro (not the one you see Monty using on stream). The issue seems to be the USB hub we were using to connect all the devices at once. We're going to run a bunch more tests this week to make sure we've got it ironed out.
Thanks! I'd be interested in seeing what you guys determine, I've been thinking about ways to record my home game too
Thanks for letting us know, thought it was me and kept troubleshooting my chrome. lol.
@@PaiOeShi me2;p
I like Monty's style of dm-ing. One of my personal faves.
My first AL game was DMd by him and I couldn't agree more!!
@Paulo Cesar Corsetti he was playing out of 401 games when I met him bit that has since been torn down.
Yeah i enjoy Monty's style. I wish i could play with these guys.
I can sometimes see the dm encounter framework but it doesn't detract but in a cool way ads to the scenes. Enough info to set the scene but no flowery exposition to make me fastforward
I’ve based my style off of his and Matt mercers way of suspense… while throwing in my own spices of dramatic voicing and showy arm flails to give more umph to emphasize my story
"The second level is another story" 😂 Brilliant
BEST BIT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shut up and take my money on a guide book to Drakkenheim....lovin every little taste of this setting Monty.
Thank you!
Seriously though I'd like a playable campaign thing for this setting
This had been going on for about a year. There's a lot of information already. I'm on the end of episode 2 and there's a map with a good key, player stats, guild contacts, a little bit of city history, and building maps.
It would make for a great campaign book.
Your wish is coming true
Five years ago this amazing and awesome campaign started. I watched every session with a smile. I'm rewatching them now with my Drakkenheim book in hand to see if I can learn how to run this game for myself.
Monty, Kelly, Jill, Joe, you guys rock!
Thank you so much!
I’m right there with you!
I thought of doing the same thing, but this campaign has so much, I'm already so far behind on the actual campaign itself, let alone having the time to rewatch from the beginning.
I really like the professionalism of the setup and the DM style, but also that this feels like a real game between real players, good banter etc. Also shout out to my fellow canucks, I saw thats Roots sweater!! :P
"What else are you planning on doing in the city?"
"...Sightseeing. The city is beautiful at night..."
"Yeah, I booked my tickets a long time ago..."
:') My DnD group can't lie either :')
This is *THE* game to watch in my humble opinion.
lol pluto starts @ not comfortable with beating up the scientist and stealing his homework. At the end he is `decapitate the wizard, kill the aprentice and burn the house to the ground`. This is good D & D.
#characterdevelopment
Dyrty Barstud go to the winchester and wait for all of this to blowover
I’ve never watched a D&D game. My mum & Dad used to play in the 80’s always looked a lot fun. Monty’s imagination and narration is amazing.
*sounded like a lot of fun from the top of the stairs after I was sent to bed!
Walk up to the mansion and knock on the door.
It opens.
"Hello! Have you heard about our lord and savior Bahamut"
You just try to make an honest living, with honest necromancy, raise a family, and those academy stiffs have a huge problem with that!
You mean like "raise" a whole family?
Yes all at once.😂
"why where you there"
Party: how obviously can we lie?
I know I'm numerous years behind, I will catch up!
Enjoyed ep1 a lot!
"I am Sebastian Crowe and I've come to bargain." :p
I love that when they’re discussing entry plans they’re just standing outside this dudes house, but I love this campaign already
I know it's already been said but the DM is Masterful. I love his style and descriptions of the fights. This game felt like one I'd love to play through myself. One thing bugs me from first adventure... How come none of the players reacted when the DM said that the "giant rat mother" had something in it's stomach that seemed to react to magic when it was cast... I thought that meant they should have cut open it's stomach.... Probably more delerium in it's stomach ....and this is just one of the best D&D games on UA-cam. I really felt myself transport to the places the DM described in my head. Hats off to the Dungeon Dudes
Good catch. I didn't notice that.
Eric Rogers I noticed then forgot about it just like the players. LOL
I believe he was referring to the acid bile it spewed out reacting to the fire from Fire Bolt.
I caught that and also thought it was delirum also.
Really loving the show so far gang. I'm pretty picky on the live play I watch. Pretty much it's only Critical Role at this point. I need grid and minis to hold my interest and most live play shows seemed to have completely abandoned it, so I appreciate the Dwarven Forge and the rest of the physical accessories. Don't move away from it!
I think the physical setups and your great chemistry makes you guys unique among a growing sea of live play. It really comes across that everyone are great friends outside of play and have probably played together before. This is a good thing. You're not a random group of internet personalities putting in a shift. It feels like we're actually watching your home game and you guys are having a blast.
Crazy seeing this comment...I ..just said close to the exact same thing after watching the first episode tonight.
@@DarkLordShadaou I just started watching this too. In the first episode I didn't miss the table top to be honest, the narrating was so good... my theater of the mind had a good enough picture
Now, that was a huge step above the previous episode. Loved the pace, and the mystery keeps getting bigger, I really liked it.
And, I want to congratulate the players, their characters actually feel kinda real and entertaining. Loved it too. Keep doing the awesome work, please.
I'm obviously going to the next.
Thank you! We're learning more with each episode and improving. A live setup is a much different beast than what we're used to doing (both from a game play standpoint and a video production view)
@@DungeonDudes It's good to see I (we) aren't the only ones learning something with your channel here. Life is about learning, and I appreciate you guys being so nice and open about that.
I love me some big meaty story hooks. Though having played enough games, you can't please all the factions all the time. I am excited to see that come to a head as the game progresses. This was a pleasure to watch.
The party coming up with several plans, deciding on one, and then defaulting into combining all the plans as soon as something goes wrong. Truly, the most DnD party of all time.
"Roll for intiative" - Monty
"It went well !" - Sebastian Crowe after trying to convince a rogue wizard to join his ponzi scheme
Again kelly's scorching rays XDD
The old "warning shot" excuse XDDD
I swear i can relate with my instances of failed spell attack rolls lol
Ha! "What you do is natural. Forest fires are natural." Awesome line!
"The second level is a another story." Literally laughed out loud.
Loving the campaign. It's a lot easier to consume than Critical Role and way easier to invest in the characters seeing as there are less than half of what Critical Role has. Can't get enough of this.
Late to the game. I only recently started listening to games while working and such.
Been a fan of Monty and Kelly for useful, fun and analytical tips for a long while, and yet never checked out their games.
Gotta say, very glad you cats are doing this and even more happy that I have so much content to catch up on!
Let's keep rollin'!
For some reason, I've been sleeping on this for forever. On the bright side, that means I get to watch it all now :D
Great role playing, love the characters and the cast.
After binging so many of your build and ranking videos -- great work, btw -- it's awesome to see you in action.
Also, Jill's cat ear beanie is just the cutest thing ever. I'll have to find one of those for my partner.
2 years late to the party, but I'm really enjoying this campaign so far. The setting is an interesting, almost survival horror type post apocalypse city, which almost reminds me a bit of Vermintide with the rat elements and just the decrepit state of everything. Monty as a DM is just.. top notch. He's so chill and ready to run with just about anything the players do, but knows just when to jump in and move things along. The way he sets the pace of this game while subtly encouraging the players' shenanigans is an endless delight to watch. Gonna see this series to the end, and then watch your new one!
I know this has been on here a while, but I've just started watching this campaign... And I love it!
"Don't talk to the zombie" (this amused me 😁)
Hey, Pretedigitation is the cantrip to use for dry cleaning on the go. Take care, it can remove color, maybe some material.
Well, they went in with practically no plan and it... kinda worked out?
With surprisingly little burny stuff.
That’s the majority of the games I’m in. It’s the best way to play 😄
Also one of the best ways for streaming a game too. I’m all for elaborate plans with jokes. But there’s something about the gang getting right to the action and trying to wing it with a last minute huddle.
Medieval tiberium☺.
As the three leave, arguing amongst themselves, Oscar facepalms, and mutters to himself "What have I gotten myself into?"☺
Jill is so adorable.
I'm twitterpated
Yeah, calling River "big blue cheese". That was funny.
Do tabaxi have toe beans, and can I play with them?
Meow!
definetly
Team name: The Potion Investigators. Great game, the characters are really fun :)
Haven't played RPG in ages. Probably 14-15 years. So it's nice to witness this unique atmosphere again. Thanks Dungeon Dudes and the whole 'Party'.
Great game. It made me feel as if I was watching an episode of The Legend of Aang, or Dragon Prince. You guys have the adventure, the action and the comedy rolling all over this show. Just one suggestion (I cast this as a spell) I suggest you guys put come acton music on combat scenes... please! Thank you!
I would love to hear Battle Music..... Sets the mood, you can feel the tension in the music
I love the improvised credibility Monty gives to cause-reactions or more like cause-chain reactions.
Overall, I like the campaign and its setting, gives me some Mordheim vibes, but the Dudes definitely make their own unique thing :)
"We're offering a potion inspection plan for all your alchemical needs. The subscription is 100 gold a month, but if you recruit 2 other people, it's free!"
Hahaha I can tell I'm going to love this. It's cool watching the guys I've been learning how to dm from in their natural habitat.
I enjoy watching this so much! I'm learning a lot and like how the joy for the game shines through those that are participating. Thank you, Dungeon Dudes!
The 1st episode was funny but this one is even funnier. Cat people for life!
Jill really leaning into the Tabaxi-taking-fish-as-payment angle added a lot.
love the cat people!!!
It's cool that the tabaxi is more interested in fish than gold. I just hope that she doesn't end up penalised for this - i.e. unable to get potions, item upgrades, etc.
In my last campaign I dm'd one of my PCs played a tabaxi and we home brewed a rule giving him advantage on death saving rolls since cats have 9 lives. It took some tweaking to keep it balanced but the player made an interesting and creative proposition that I had to incorporate.
We're on it Big Blue Cheese ~I'm crying~
Eyes of the dark. I was wrong then about the darkness spell. My deepest apology. I still had fun in last campaigns episode. I’ll check things out first before attempting a help, you really don’t need. Please forgive me.
@Dungeon Dudes, I have learned so much about how to approach situations in games, thinking outside of the box, and how to have a different appreciation for the game. Your videos are excellent, presentation keeps me paying attention, and seeing how passionate you guys are about the game, makes me feel the same way. Keep up the phenomenal work guys! I'm always waiting for your latest videos!
So glad I found this series, I'm super into it and love listening to you guys on my long commute or right before I go to bed when I'm trying to settle down 😊❤
This is a lot of fun. I've been surprised at how much I've enjoyed the first two episodes. This is a great party and so far you've kept the language down, and the wit around the table is fun. I'm really enjoying the bickering between the party. Great DM'ing, great players. great set ups.
All around good job, Dungeon Dudes.
Ahh finally get to watch this. Thanks for uploading the VODs, I’ll be able to watch live with friends soon. LET IT BEGIN
Enjoy :)
Hmm... Petra's faction gives off a Minutemen vibe, and the paladins are a little bit like the Brotherhood of Steel. I have an ominous feeling that River's faction is more like the Institute than has been yet revealed
Awesome! I'm just now getting around to watching all the episodes and I am really enjoying it!
"I'm Sebastian Crowe and I..."
I’m just curious, if/when this campaign is over will you guys ever release a guidebook or campaign guide of drakkenheim? I’m just curious because I’d love to use this city for a campaign or two.
We’d love to - putting out a campaign sourcebook is a big project! we’d probably need a lot of help from the community on how to go about doing it well.
@@DungeonDudes I am sure people would be behind it
@@DungeonDudes The biggest part is the play testing.
So far its looking like it works.
Essentially transcribe the DM notes and mods developed in play into your introduction, story line and room descriptions.
These recordings will be a great aid in this (and could be converted into a book form with some work)
No DM actually runs the adventure perfectly by the module, since no module will be perfectly written to fit in their realm or to give the correct balance for the team of adventurers taking it on.
Jersey Dragon I love this idea. I’ve used all the information from most of the videos dungeon dudes have put out. So a campaign setting would be amazing
@@DungeonDudes I'd love to help. Thinking of using Drakkenhiem as the center for my next campaign.
Dungeons of Drakkenheim Episode 2: Home Invasion
I know I'm late to the drakkenheim party, but Jill, Joe, and Kelly remind me of how my old group back home would problem solve and Monty reminds me of how we would all DM when we rotate through the "hotseat". Absolutely love the home town gaming group feel. I hope to keep following you all for many more years to come!
Feels like a real game, like what I expect (hope) to achieve in my own basement games. Fun and laughs.
Just started this series, and I love how Kelly almost immediately went into the intro Monty said his name. It's the fun minor hiccups like that that make me feel like it's not scripted at all and I love it.
Thank you for your content. Being new to the hobby and watching your videos really inspires and makes me feel at place even more with each one of these. Much love dudes ❤
Great series! I’ve never played D&D but will now. Cannot wait to see what happens next.
Honestly can't believe how good they do this. This is better than any audio book I've heard.
Just started this series, I’m hooked. I’ve been a fledgling dm for a few years now but watching a seasoned DM and group go at it, can feel my power growing 🧞
This episode had me cracking up. When I do my taxes, I'm going to put "potions inspector" for my occupation.
These guys are hilarious! This style of Dungeons and Dragons really fits the game that I play with my friends at home! Great job guys and really entertaining! Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
Thanks so much for watching!
40:36 funny you say Steve Jackson who created Munchkin.... then there is me the guy that created GURPS lol
I know I'm super late to this but I'm already in love with this setting, ya'll are killing it!
Revisiting this campaign before I finally move on to the ‘Shadows’…finally. It’s just as entertaining as the first watch….awesome DMing by Monty, wonderful RP by Kelly, Joe & Jill and a genuineness and passion by all four of them. It’s such a joy to experience and it embodies a DND table at its best…true community, fun and fellowship…exactly how it should be….so excited that I finally met the group at PAX unplugged recently and so proud that they are now fully represented through DND Beyond. Keep up the amazing work, guys. I’m a lifelong supporter and fan!
Ah this series is so encouraging to me, thanks
Kelly's personality is so different here. In their prepared videos he just seems nervous but here he actually has one. :D
I just started watching this in 2021 and I’m kinda mad it took me this long to get into it :,( . You guys are doing awesome. I love the “real game” feel, it’s so casual, making it some peak DnD for me. CR is brilliant but this is definitely scratching my itches. Monty is so meticulous and quick on the improv draw and It’s glorious.
I've only just started listening to Dungeon Dudes and I'm really enjoying the guides and the playthroughs. For me, that fact that Kelly and Monty 'practice what they preach' is a very big deal. Keep up the good work all and thanks for making me a better GM!
Finally found time to watch this series. Very happy I did. I would love to have a group like you all. Hats off. Great series so far. Have a feeling I will be 'turbo-nerding' the rest.
Didn't realize shield stops magic missile! I learned something new today!
I love this. This is how my games go. This feels very real.
I love, love love this session! I'm glad that I have y'all as an Inspiration for running my own D&D Campaign
Started with Shadows of Drakkenheim, jumped back to this campaign: love it all. True fun D&D role-playing. Love the player interaction and that even with other characters, there are some similarities 😁.
26:58 please tell me that the Tourist’s Guide To Drakkenheim, which features all of Pluto’s addendums is going to come out in the next kickstarter. Joe!! You have work to do! And Jill, please add all the best places to scout out Veo’s best places for food!
Another great run! Thanks for sharing your fun with us. I especially liked the deliberate sense of self-aware theatre that you include in your game, like the walk-away at the end where they are bickering about their options and roles. I'm definitely looking forward to more of this story. It's a great adventure without taking itself too seriously. Also, I have to applaud the party for keeping their options open in this strange environment. You folks are being humane and practical in equal and interesting measure.
I love to watch you guys! Great Players with interesting characters and a great DM.
Nice style of dming and im happy to see the minis on an extra cam now.
Looking forward for next week. :)
I am having a BLAST watching you guys (I just discovered your campaign). Wit, playing the game seriously but not taking yourselves seriously, powerful narrative, subtle and efficient DMing… I am 48, and this is making me want to go back to the table... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
After watching the first one of this and this one I can't wait for the module book! Also i'm laughing so hard from Kelly instinctively about to introduce himself when Monty first introduced himself 🤣
A group where "shiitake mushrooms" is an expletive, NO ONE bats an eye at "gently touch the knocker", and EVERYONE laughs at "the upstairs is another story".
I'm home!
So glad to find a stream that isn't vulgar, and where the players are actually in the room together. Thanks!
Monty clearly played Mordheim at one point and I'm here for it
I think he should have made that Deception Check at Advantage, for how funny the Potion Inspector thing is.
I love how the setting is basically magic S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Just checking outthis series now, so good, so enjoyable. Love the potion inspector deception idea.
Just found this series, this is great :D
I just DM'ed Lost Mine of Phandelver as a first time DM. And i am considering Dungeons of Drakkenheim as a continuation - A bit scared of the size though!
'Potion Investor' would have been a better idea. Prestidigitation can cleanse you from head to toe in a single cast, it really is an adventurers best friend. If you're a bit more mercantile a spell caster, you can even charge your party members a small amount for the service. If an inn can charge you for a bath, you should be able to charge a few coins for the same, am I right?
How did Monty keep a straight face during the "Help Me" planning? I'd be dying.
Had to stop the video at the start to figure out if the Erie sound at the start was the video or not.😐😂
Love this DM style & this group! Which I’m thankful UA-cam first recommended the first video in this series as the first video on this channel. This way I can start from the beginning of all the various Drakkenheim campaign series! Which with the length of each episode & the fact they are still making them…there will *always* be new episodes to watch!😂Or at least for a few months for me…since I’m disabled & am currently unable to do much due to an injury. This is a good distraction aside from other UA-cam content, reading/listening to books & working on future campaigns for my own group once everyone’s kids get settled into school including the one with their oldest starting college. I’m 39 btw. Since I suffer from migraine which can make visually watching or reading content it’s nice to have something else to listen to that is distinctly different from audiobooks. Especially since none of their voices or laughs are too loud, piercing or annoying even with my head starting to hurt.
Also…as a fellow female I love how when making plans the lone female is the voice of reason amongst the group!🤣🤣Also that the typically “low IQ fighter” both doesn’t want to kill another human(s) & makes some very intelligent technical observations/suggestions. While the supposedly “high IQ” spell caster makes comical suggestions for plans.🤣It makes for naturally entertaining, surprising & thus very enjoyable listening!!
This set of campaigns is so good I'm rewatching it.
Monty is (kind of sadly) the best most adaptive DM I have had the good graces to see. I can’t wait to catch up. Hoping Joe gets more into his chat from here.
I'm pretty late to the party but this is fast becoming one of my favorite campaigns, I really like the DMing style, and it seems like its just four friends having a good time which makes it feel more relatable than more of the high budget stuff :)
The sets really add to this, I'm extremely new to D&D and this is totally awesome!!
Kelly's deceptive "thieves?!" Part man XDDD
Got me good
I'm getting ready to watch episode 3, and I'm really hoping they level up between sessions. At 3rd level I would think they'd have enough after 2 sessions to level up, but I'm an old school gamer who hasn't been able to play D&D since the 3.5 edition. I really miss gaming, and watching you guys is making me miss it even more. I really am enjoying the story progression though, and you guys have such a cool setup. I look forward to watching you guys live once I catch up.
On a side note, I was so glad that Jackson didn't almost die again this episode ^.^
Been watching your videos for awhile now and finally got around to checking out this campaign. Monty you're a great DM. Your words paint vivid pictures. The setting is awesome and I love the PCs.
Thank you!
I've watched and listened to quite a few different real play D&D campaigns. This one is particularly entertaining. The story is really engaging beyond just the players, and the world is remarkably deep and interesting. I wish I found this series sooner.
