DUNGEONS OF DRAKKENHEIM is coming to Kickstarter in 2021! We’re partnering with Ghostfire Games to publish the complete adventure for Fifth Edition. Sign up at www.drakkenheim.com to get the latest updates!
Please guys, let me know what is the main theme song od Drakkenheim! I am getting crazy about it. I am not able to find that song anywhere!
My second time through as I'm getting psyched to run my Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaign. Thank you Monty, Kelly, Jill, and Joe for the inspiration to get me rolling as a dungeon master! This will be my second campaign ever!
Can we note, "I'm tired of this royal stuff" -P.J. but he is literally a prince
Maybe him taking time away from home is for more then just the "right of passage" of killing things :)
PJ is such a boss 🙌
I enjoy Pluto Jackson so much. Good fun, but also a good character at the same time. Sebastian and Veo are great characters as well. So many memorable moments in this campaign
Man, it must be so hard to prepare challenging encounters for these guys. Everything dings off Pluto, then either Veo does 90 damage in one turn, or Sebastian disables 2/3rds of the enemies, or they bullshit their way out of the fight altogether. That look of utter defeat on Monty's face when they execute helpless bandits is priceless.
That's the fun of dnd
Killer Queen (wasteland in the city version) - for best effect, read along while listening to the original song:
[snap snap snap snap...]
"She keeps a big pile of flowers in a pretty lily pool
"Let them eat light" she says, just as her eyes start to drool
Undeads and herbals
Time to find the royals
Any time, an adventure job that you can't decline...
Family pics and signet rings
She wails about her lost facing
Extraordinarily strange
She's a killerrr Queen, bow-fire, she's turning green
Magic haze with a laser beam
Guaranteed to fry your eyes -- anytime!
Ooh, recommend to get away
Carry baggage, argue all day
Wanna try?
To avoid complications, she got away from her old block
Who needs a castle when you can live it up in a tower clock?
Met a man from Caspia, wants to find her familia
Then again incidentally she got shot in the side...
Veo came naturally from kitty folk (naturally)
While Pluto thinks it's all a joke
Sebastian can figure a way...
She's a killerrr Queen, bow-fire, she's turning green
Magic haze with a laser beam
Guaranteed to fry your eyes -- anytime!
[solos]
Mirror the light, she's blind as a bat
But now remembers the pussycat
Fifteen years out of her faculties
Restored when brought down to her knees
She'll absolutely fry those eyes! Those eyes!
She's out to get you!
She's a killerrr Queen, bow-fire, she's turning green
Magic haze with a laser beam
Guaranteed to fry your eyes -- anytime!
Ooh, recommend to get away
Carry baggage, argue all day
Wanna try?
Roll the dice!"
+ + + + +
Happy holidays to you all :)
this is amazing!!!! love it!
10,000 XP to the Bard.
You truly are a Legendary Bard of the Mercury School! :-D
*Slow Clap*
I hit the like, but it's more love ❤️💗❤️
I've been binge watching this campaign. Every table needs a Joe. That said I love this team's dynamic; as players, and as characters.
The moment I realized the Queen cast Sickening Radiance was the moment I realized I am not being cruel enough to my party.
"I've had enough of this royal system" said the prince of caspia
1:42:35
Sebastian: "I'm gonna talk to my muscle over here"
Pluto: "Yeah, she's outside"
XD
Can I say, I love the way you DM... you let them have their fun and talks, but wrangle them in at perfect timing. Also, combat is fun and you let them dictate enough while reigning them in where needed. A perfect balance in the DM role and the PCs not pushing too hard makes this great! Love watching you!
The Pluto sweater is perfect, by the way. I'd like to think Pluto himself wears that when back home.
I have been binge watching this campaign for how interesting and how amazing of a job Monty does in making a world that is GTA or Saints row esque(a sandbox) with so many chains and quests and recurring characters to have to keep track of from a voice perspective, a personality perspective, always guessing what the players are suddenly going to do differently ‘this’ time. I’m behind but I’m definitely supporting this patreon. I would write a full review of so much beautiful character development each player is endeavoring to make. There’s amazing inter character drama ‘and’ on the fly comedy, and on the fly reaction and sudden realization- as if a choice that means nothing in our lives is ‘still’ just as impactful to the player as the character.
Anyway. Essay over. I am loving this.
Although I’ve been following you guys for years in absolutely loving your 5e content, I’m FINALLY sitting down and watching this and it has not disappointed…what a true table looks like…genuine friends, wonderful story, awesome creativity and Monty rocking the DM role. I’m hooked!
Dungeons of Drakkenheim is on hiatus for the holidays. We will return January 14th, 2019. Note that this is a MONDAY, an exception to our regular Tuesday air time. This will continue the following week on Monday, January 21st. We will be back to our regular Tuesday nights on January 29th, 2019. We want to thank you so much for following along our adventures, and we will see you again in 2019!
i know i heard it in 1 of your videos but how did you guys make that awesome map?
Not soon enough...
I like how Jill is playing with her Santa hat like a cat would, batting it around 🤣
21:40 that moment when even a most unserious party gets hit in the heart. God knows I'm DMing for a party that isn't easily moved by drama and/or horror, and I love it when it finally reaches through their humor wall :)
I always enjoy watching him set up the festivus pole of initiative.
Am I the only one who doesn’t particularly trust river? She seems devious to me...
I agree.
I just find it ironic how they almost grovel for her approvel like the Rat Kings grovels for the Three Ghost's approval.
@@zionich Rat King is best King.
The reason for River being devious is simply because she is a tiefling... Yes, she is taking orders from the Amythist Academy, but her presentation seems shifty mainly because her tiefling heritage doesn't strike well with others...
It's kinda like a person from a country that burps in the chef's face to compliment them when that isn't the chef's custom. It appears rude and off-putting.
zionich YES YES YES! 😂
This episode showed exactly how decisions in D&D can take you somewhere where you would never expect to go. It was a lot of fun.
Pretty good that you guys are still in Oscar's house, because you need to ask for the haze immunity potions or River will be angry :D
I find it awesome how both parties can shift the story's direction:
The players keep leaving one shot NPCs alive, then use them to further the story, derailing Monty
Monty can simply call a random encounter or say "a lover boy in the hooded lanterns has a big mouth" to uproot all their plans.
And yet, not one ounce of metagaming amongst any of them.
I think Joe/Pluto is missing an opportunity with saving the Queen of Drakkenheim. Its 15 years since the comet fell. There's potentially a princess of Drakkenheim some place of marriageable age. Prince of Caspia and Drakkenheim and who knows what after that? Putting himself in direct line to the throne of Drakkenheim? That's gotta be worth more than a couple chests of gold....
Love the game so far, its really getting going :)
I was thinking this too. Pluto is def husband material lol.
@@sphinx19l The perfect husband for a queen who wants to continue to rule her kingdom in her own name. Pluto would be too busy fooling around to bother governing the country! :D
@@philipped.r.6385 the kingdom would have the lowest troll related problems of any kingdom in recorded history 🤣
Bwahahaha
Great show. Gotta say this is the most engaging campaign I've listened to behind critical role. Surprised not more viewers, but please keep it up.
And where are you guys from. I hear a lot of a-boots (about)
We are from Toronto Canada and we don’t know what you’re talking aboot. ;)
@@DungeonDudes Lmao A-boot, Sore-y, and others. I'm from Michigan in the US, so your accent isn't very jarring to me, but I can tell the inflections when I hear em. Also you guys are awesome! I love this campaign because I could easily see myself being friends with this group. Especially Kelly, Evil dead, rick & morty, Blink-182. A true man of culture
I so need Joe to say something along the lines of "Sebastian, buby, I'm your white knight"
Kinda need Joe to quote Owen Wilson... His empathetic voice sounds so much like the actor imo
2:24:some seconds
I'm-ma be *pissed* if Petra is the mole and Anson is the good guy.
This is my new favourite stream.
I'm pretty late to the party, but this setting is amazing.
I love the fantastical elements, the fact that magic is completely baked in to every square foot of Drakkenheim. This campaign has inspired me more with ideas for my own campaign than any other.
Also Monty's DM style, and creature preference.... And even certain elements of lore (like the fact that all the beastfolk, tabaxi, ratling, gnoll, kuo-toa etc. Have this common resistence to delirium and connection to the city.... In my campaign all beastfolk pre-date the godchild races such as elves, human, halfling etc. And have connection to the ancient lore). So elements of this game actually transpose well in to my own.
Great stuff guys. Definitely top of my list now.
I've started a new campaign that is basically a dead rip-off Drakkenheim.
It was placed within my homebrew world, using elements that already existed in the previous campaign and giving the players their own influence created a mini adventure
(Due to scheduling comitments/I'm the DM and my wife went back to work after maternity leave...4 of 6 PCs couldn't make the only day I could do).
So now one of the two remaining players backstory elements involved an airship that disappeared in a wild magic storm.
It's returned 3 years later covered in a mineral known as 'Unstable Eridusk'
Eridusk is an established mineral, but the unstable variety acts more like delirium.
The other character had ties with the sky pirates that discovered the ship.
And the ship isn't as deserted as you'd think.
So now you have a faction of information brokers backing the sky Pirates, a faction of monks that are communicating with a survivor on board, a faction of Wizards trying to study the Eridusk without letting any faction gain access, a faction of orcs trying to use it to unite a hoard as a major WMD and a soon to arrive faction from the Imperium that lost the airship to the storm 3 years ago who's outlook will be that it should be destroyed before it reaches civilisation.
As soon as I watched Drakkenheim I realised that Monty's style was just masterful and something so different from my usual method that I wanted to try my own Drakkenheim-ish campaign.
And this is turning out to be such a blast with my players.
Having 5 grey-area factions that players can simultaneously get behind and disagree with and having them literally stop in their tracks trying to parse through the information to make the best decision out of a murky situation is amazing and I'm so glad I found this.
I'd definitely buy the source book if it ever got released.
They didn’t take a single point of damage during that clocktower fight. Holy crap.
I think Pluto's reaction to grab his folks and retreat was a good idea, people don't retreat enough in these games and he had a very compelling reason to do so. But Sebastian insisted on trying his thing and going back to grab him after he finally freed himself must have been frustrating a little bit. Of course Kelly is a cool polite person, but I know I would've found that irritating. I'd have resolve this situation as : "You wanna try some creative tactics before retreating ? Fine, but I'm outta here and I have a very good reason to do so !"
Agreed, the rp was poor this episode compared to other episodes… it took me out of the story… Kelly plays his character perfectly, Pluto acts too much like a beta , no prince fighter would act like that, I realize he must keep the peace because this is a production and not a true dnd experience. I’ve seen people throw down and pc fight each other because it made sense for rp reasons.
My biggest frustration is the constant distrust of Pluto. I get that he's a foreign agent but he's as much a part of the team as the rest of them. Them freaking out over the ring could have been the straw that made Pluto leave the party. Imagine having saved your friends' lives, taking countless blows for, and beside, them and then being treated like a dirty thief. (When the other two have stolen his loot before. Like when Sebastian took the ring that Pluto found in the sack of meat from the troll ambush). It's just frustrating to see, especially since this is the second time they have confronted him with distrust.
Typically it's all great and good dynamics though. And I do understand them being prickly about the Queen, even though he's like 80% right that she's too dangerous.
@@IronEntropyI agree Veo was ready to kill Pluto for some ring (that he earned by tanking the "queen's" blows). She would rather kill her friend than surrender a trinket from a thing that is more monster than person.
No way would I step up for those 2 until they show they earn it.
Poor Pluto always giving away loot and gold to be treated like that🫤
It took me until 13 &1/2 minutes to realise Joe's sweater said Pluto on it.
I'm glad I found this now and I don't have to wait for the next episode, because the suspense is real!
Even better is finding it two years later, my next three months of work have a soundtrack.
Dynamite with a laser beam!
I have been catching up on this. I've loved every moment and learned a bunch. I have been playing dnd for years, but never able to do much other than DM. I'm learning about how to describe combat especially.
I just got caught up after watching these all week. Amazing and so much fun! You guys are awesome. Can I just say that Veo is a freaking monster wrecking ball?
I wish I could play with you fine folk!
Pluto got a little shady there for a second.
"What did you do?!"
"Maaaagic..."
Then Pluto kettles the Queen :D
Thank you for the hours entertainment you provide
Pluto is such a pal taking the help action
Merry Christmas guys......really lookin forward to dungeon dudes content in 2019.
Just started binge watching after finding a lot of your Dungeons and Dragons Guides online! I used to play 2nd Edition and 2.5, so trying to learn/relearn the mechanics of 5e through this story is super fun!
Jill displaying her cat like nature and playing with the end of her christmas hat is so funny to me
Mourning for our lost Lenore
Veo when confronting queen Lenore- Let me go pluto, and hold ma hoops!
Then later: HAY! You leaf mah Queen alone!
This is such a fun scenario with so many possibilities, you guys are absolutely killing it. I get so invested in the party decisions and lore! I'm trying to get a group together to play for the first time ever and all of this is a huge inspiration, so I wanted to give you guys a huge thanks. Keep up the amazing work!
Happy holidays to all of you, can't wait for the next episode in 2019
Have never wanted the Holidays to go so fast before as I'm totally hooked on this! Hope you all have a great break!
the begining of this is a reverse of the woman yell at cat meme and im losing it 😂
Pluto had the best ideas and kept getting shut down.
Should have left the queen in the garden.
When that failed, should have put her in the suitcase 😂
Wishing a happy holiday season to you guys, both the four of you in the liveplays and the people making it run smoothly! You happen to be the crew who restored my interest in D&D, so I hope you'll keep doing that for many more! The more potential players and DMs out there, the easier it'll be for all of us to have fun like you do!
Another great episode, Dudes!
The sound was really good this time. Keep up all the goodness!
Wow great drama filled episode. Thank you for this and happy holidays to all of you. See you in January!
Her Royal Highness’ matched luggage!
Take only what you NEED to survive!
1:30:22 "I hope he takes it personally." So...what yoou're saying is that you think the halfling will survive the onslaught by the gloomstalker?
Caught up in your new campaign so going back and watching all these. I love it. You guys are by far the most entertaining group I have watched. It would be awesome to have a drakkenheim campaign book to buy.
This episode was so much fun!! Thank You Dungeon Dudes!!
has been binge watching these like crazy. omg cant wait for the next episode
Great episode. Gonna miss you over the break but I still hope you have great holidays.
Awesome game guys!
Kinda sad that Pluto did not have a Santa hat on his helmet.
Fun fact: we spent 10 mins before the episode trying to rig Joe (Pluto) up with Christmas ornaments on his helmet, no matter what we tried they either fell off or were too loud. I assure you, effort was put in.
@@DungeonDudes you see its commitment like that makes you guys such a joy to follow.
Dungeon Dudes clank clank clank clank....
Kelly should have been wearing an elf hat to go with his ears.
Dang, I’ve feel in love with this. I’ve binged this at work and at home, and I’m learning a ton about GMing (and roleplaying) just from watching you guys!
I’m really impressed with how Monty keeps all the characters straight, and how he keeps the factions, player narratives, and overarching setting in place with the characters running all around. I’m doubly impressed he can somehow weave a story out of those disparate moments and odd player decisions… like the rat prince, Cora probably seeing Petra’s brother, and the constantly escaping Queen’s Men rest in peace).
I’m also very impressed with the players. They’re roleplaying amazingly, and are willing to avoid straight min-maxing to play those characters to the fullest. Like Pluto not always defaulting to lightning, or Veo occasionally running away when she could just pump out attacks. I’ve only met a handful of players who like doing that, and thought I’d never see another to play with, let alone a whole table full.
I’m so happy to see you having so much fun together. If anyone ever asks me to point them to a great example of DnD, this is where I’ll send them. Especially since you show how accessories enhance the game, but aren’t the game itself.
Thank you so much 😊
1:38:45 Veo finds a cat toy to play with...
Just found this and it’s amazing going to be binge watching both campaigns for sure
Just caught up. So excited to watch the next episode. You guys got me into dnd. Just joined my forst campaign two weeks ago.
This is a great story, what a awesome web you have weaved.
Like my 7th rewatch of this series. Still the best
1st time going through. See ya at the end.
Still getting caught up on the show do this comment is a bit late but, i love the show irs quickly becoming my favorite d&d liveplay/podcast. Been listening to it at work and its been a blast. Keep up the good work guys. Been watching you guys since your 3rd or 4th video (i believe) youve come so far 😭
Oh no, I thought there was gonna be more after this episode 😂 the story is awesome
We're back next week!
*Title is Killer Queen*
Me: *Knuckles voice* Oh no.
*crazy noisy bizzare town plays in distance*
"Lets take the Queen with a fragile mental state to a necromancer we hardly know that we know was kicked out his organization because of his questionable actions."
Am I missing something here? Honestly, I don't understand.
Not just that. Let's leave her alone here. Especially after he became very interested in her relationship with thr Lillies. They are gonna come back and he is gonna have turned her into a grow lamp.
So I have just started playing D&D (first game was Monday) and I absolutely love your videos. You guys have prepared me so well for my fist encounter as a Druid. I am now de facto healer. I love this stream!!! You guys are so funny and entertaining. Monty, Kelly and Jill keep the laughs coming. Joe is my absolute fav! Like how can you not love him? I know I still have a long way to go but I am grateful that you put this on youtube. Thanks Dungeon Dudes!
I am just watching through these now. This series is so funny!
Looking forward the rest of the playlist.
What a tense moment on which to end the session! Especially with a holiday break between the crew and their next game night.
I'm glad this is going to continue soon!
Episode 11: Horror at what happened to his knees
1:45:00 - Im surprised nobody said "it's not you, it's me".
Enjoyment level 15/10. Excellent roll playing.
The colour...it burns...cold and wet, but it burns...
\o/ so hyped for Monday. Keep up the good fun guys.
I am finally caught up!! I can't wait to the see the next episode!
Go through slaughter stone square...? Bad veo! Bad kitty!
Awesome as always. Happy holydays my dudes.
Eeeeey! I got the same Christmas sweater as Kelly Crow!
i lov Pluto's bad rolls
HO YA that was clutch but worked out real good ! I just CAN NOT wait to hear what the quack doc says after those fiew days , but also hope they mention to him that giving her the crystals is not a good idea , gosh such a good episode there were so many things that could have been a mess but turned out quite good ^^ .
I honestly was thinking what about Sebastian’s dad for the queen. Low humble place to hide and all his enemies that know him are dead and can get the rats to look over
Around an hour and a half, the halfling had lost her mind.
2:02 I'm screaming give her aqua delirium
This episode was great
Wow. Intra-party conflict, royalty, moles, and the list goes on. All I can say is, Monty you are a forgiving DM. ☺
All this arguing about who would get the ring made me think of this:
"One ring to rule them all,
one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them. "
I really love all the banter and the intra-party conflict. It feels like I'm playing Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights 2 haha! You're so good at improvising one liners and jokes on the fly! I'm so glad I found your channel a few weeks ago!
Playing on the Holidays .. Such Gamer Resolve. Its like three days from X-mas
Pluto says he needs buckets. I instantly think of him leaving the city with every wooden bucket he can find with his arms looped through their rope handles.... and one on his head like a helmet.
Joe is freakin hilarious.
Super interested why the queens damage was radiant instead of what I thought of necrotic! Hope I get to find out :)
Today is the day! Drakken-hype
Imagine the look on Pluto's face when Sebastian said "Maybe we should have told them to stay"
Love how every one has a Xmas sweater :D
Love this story
Wooo! Just finished catching up on CR from last night, and just as that finished a new Dungeons of Drakkenheim appears! =D
At this point, I am mostly curious if anyone's gonna die and bring a new character, and at which level they are going to end *this* campaign :) Good stuff!
Just porkchop if you need me LUL
Okay Sebastian definitely killed that dwarf back in the tavern
This is getting intense!
At 11:19 Veo starts playing with the ball on her hat in the way that a real cat would ^_^
23:05 Jill turns into an actual cat
