I can just see 200k people wandering about every convention they go to, staring at everyone's right hand. And then, "Ah ha! You're Puffin Forest, aren't you?" "Ah, nope, sorry." "Dang it!" *continues searching*
I wish I could meet you in real life Ben. You seem like an awesome person. You rolled high on the charisma in every upload. I adore your content; best Dungeons and Dragons content on the internet (even with the fierce competition like Critical Role, Adventure Zone, Animated Spellbook, etc). Your videos are just so personal and heartfelt, that no matter what you decide to talk about, whether it's giving a cat a character sheet or are describing your character pissing in a bucket, I am just as intrigued to hear your story; as weird as that may be. You have the best personality and I love it. You stay you, Puffin-Forest. I love ya.
Yup! Agreed! What makes your vids so entertaining is that it feels super personal and fun. Like hanging with a friend and chatting bout funny scenarios they’ve had. Keep up the great work! Lol if I ever see you at a con or something of course I’d thank you in person and get an autograph! ... um... if we ever figure out what you actually look like! :p
Well, you could have cried while watching the episode... Tears of laughter. (Seriously, he didn't tell us ahead of time he was going and didn't do a face reveal. How could he not see that his plan was coming up all 1's.) If this were Fate, it would have had a challenge rating of mediocre, and he's still failed it. (Obviously, he decided to just opt for "just failing" instead of "succeeding with consequences".)
Small stupid story: My friends and I are playing my custom Fallout DnD and I had them cross a lake. My Ghoul (who always seems to roll a Crit Fail) rolls a Critical Failure and crushes a Mirelurk nest. Mommy is very Angry. I rolled a D10 ( bad idea) and there were 7 Mirelurk hunters and a very Angry Queen. The Mutant already made it across and is swimming back and killing Mirelurk with his Shishkabob. The synth was trying to swim back to shore while shooting more Mirelurk. All the Mirelurk want the Ghoul dead. The super mutant decides , after throwing his Shishkabob into a Mirelurk, that he would like to jump up and Smash the Mirelurk Queen's head with his Super Sledgehammer. His Player has been complaining and hindering his party ( to the point of almost letting the Ghoul die because he didn't call him friend), so I decided to make it a roll of 100. If he got a 100 he would instantly kill this Boss Monster... He got a perfect 100... So the Mutant defies physics, jumps from in the lake on to a Monster as big as a house, and with one hit of his Super Sledgehammer sends shell and meat flying out of the lake and on to the shore, where he lands safely. Whenever someone questions him, he reminds them of the Queen and a Critical 100.
You're my favorite D&D content creator because you really know how to tell a story and deliver punch lines of the funny moments without it feeling forced. You're very talented and have subtly given me pointers in my own delivery. Thank you 🤩
Sounds like fun, I totally would have said hi if I was there. And knew what you looked like. And wasn’t star struck by people like Matt Mercer, Projared, Commander Holly...
Ale is a type of beer. It's the heavy foamy kind like most craft beers. Lager is the lighter kind like most cheap stuff you buy in 12-packs at the grocery store.
Its 4:30am here....and I absolutely adore you. All your content has brought me back to DnD I'm running a campaign now and you have inspired me to keep going on Love hearing your words of wisdom 😂
Geeze man I see you comment on literally every channel I watch regularly. This is getting weird. I mean you even comment on the smaller channels I watch. This seems strange... or you are just a cool dude who's into cool stuff. That might also be it.
You're part of why I got into D&D if it makes you feel better. You popped up in my recommended list ( I watch alot of animation videos ) and from you I started checking out Critical Role, then D&D Beyond, and then had my first session early last month. So thank you 💙
Not sure if anyone else noticed but this episode had a lot of extra detail, like the facial expressions where much more Anime like and I believe I noticed a few faces that were inspired from, Well Done Puffin on the improvements! Keep up the good work!
I used to play D&D years back in 2nd ed. Worked for WoTC for a couple years even. However, the only D&D content I can't pull myself away from is the videos you make. I sincerely thank you for creating hilarious and entertaining videos that make me smile each time I finish one. :)
I kind-of want Ben to slowly make his animation style more realistic until he just starts randomly using traced images of his face out of nowhere and people are just like "What the heck is going on?!"
Thanks for putting these videos out. They are fun to watch. I've been going through some personal stuff lately and having a hard time, so its been fun to watch them it keeps my mind off of things.
"I already do that... without the drink!" I'm becoming more and more convinced that you're my long lost twin or some cliche backstory like that. Who needs to drink when you're oblivious most of the time anyway, right? :'D
This GUY is quite possibly the best uploader/content producer in my 32 years on this Earth. I absolutely GET the humour and love your delivery - pure joy - I put you on repeat at times just to have you fill my room - that er sounded less creepy in my head, but I'll be damned if I backspace key those lines now. We be Adventurers - we don't reroll... except when rerolls are allowed - then well - I guess we do. ... hides.
As you were describing your plan to be noticed I thought to myself, I don't think he's even shown his face how would people notice him... oh they didn't.
I'd say hello to you in an instant. I think you're one of the most relatable D&D content creators on the internet. Not in a weird way though. Just in a normal, totally respectful, "I appreciate the work you put into your stuff," kind of way.
I absolutely love your content! I can honestly say I spend more time watching your videos than anyone else. It's all the voices that you do, they keep me laughing!
I just realized the reason the new avatar for Ben is off to me is because of the thick lines he uses now for his avatar sometimes. It's not _bad_ It's just different. Keep up the experimenting dude, love seeing you try to improve!
If it's any consolation to you, I'd have recognized you at that event. Your video on D&D Adventurers League inspired me to go to my local comic shop and start playing. Bought the PHB, bought dice, and jumped in. Before your video I didn't know Adventurer's League was even a thing. Fast Forward about two months, and I'm a League Dungeon Master, and I'm also DMing weekly homebrew games with friends. Thanks Puffin Forest.
"They gave us beer... or ale." Ale is a type of beer. most American beer is a different type called "lager." Generally you can tell the difference if they serve it warm or cold: if they serve it warm its probably ale, if it's served cold then its probably lager.
Most Beer in America is served cold regardless of ale or lager. It’s easier to keep beers just the same temp as each other, though you are right ale should be warmer.
you currently operate under the misconception that you can avoid Crucifixion?? ... nice to know that the fire of my hatred for pathfinder will keep me warm in the winter of my life.
Don't know to be honest I really enjoyed it I even moved from 3.5 to exclusively Pathfinder ( I went and play the newer DND but none of them appealed to me) but for some reason it and 4 are looked upon like the Antichrist of the game series
Heyo. Just wanted to say as a D&D fan your videos are awesome. I love seeing your animated shows and I find them often halarious and relatable. Especially with some of my DMing sessions and the occasional real life conversations. Please keep making more? Your UA-cam personality is awesome xD
Kinda cool to hear about the roll-player characters walking around as townspeople. Seems a bit more dignified than the stock standard booth-girls other events have. Bless d'n'd
Legends of Smokey Fur he said it in like the last video he put up so just check those. If you're too lazy though he just had a random name generator and mixed 2 together
There was a convention I went all the way to the US (from Asia) in order to meet a specific UA-camr, I almost chickened out at last moment but I managed to walk up, say hi, and then just stand there in silence not sure what else to say and staring blankly into space as he walked away So I think it's safe to say I pretty much nailed it
How I got in to dnd is that my older cousin is obsessed with it and even has a podcast for dnd and she sent me a starter kit (which we still haven’t finished because she is the dm and she lives in California while I live in Colorado) and some dice, and some other handy tools, then I made some friends who played and got some of my friends into it so yeah, I love dnd and I love your videos, I really wish I could play a campaign with you, they all seem to be fun and abstract!
There is some comfort to being obscure, Puffin Forest. You can do you without asinine judgment and still be loved by your friends. Nothing is as cool as being loved by people you like and love personally.
"Hey! Lets go to that convention! It will be super cool if fans will recognize me!" *never shown his face on camera* Well... I always thought these D&D adventures were just made up or at the very least very overdramatic for storytelling purposes... But hearing this... I'm not so sure anymore xDDD PS: you are great! never change!
You actually can see him if you really want to. He talks about the time when he played as a character called Abserd. As of right now there is a multiple-part series of videos where he's actually playing that game. So you can watch the actual game he briefly discusses on here. It's a 360 degree video that you can rotate until he appears on screen. I think he's to the right of the DM if I remember correctly
Is it just me or is this the best video Puffin Forrest has put out yet? I mean, I'm not just saying things and I don't hate his other stuff, but this felt like his deliveries were a lot funnier, the way he told the story felt more comedic, the animation seemed better and more expressive.... IDK if it's just me or what, but this seems like a notable step up from the Obelisk Encounter and his other videos I've been watching recently.
Do you have any advice for someone forwhom watching your channel has made them want to play DnD? But has no friends and lives slightly left of the middle of nowhere.
Hey, you prob wont see this and idk if you did get into it, im assuming yea but Roll 20 and discord groups are 1 way of doing it without all being together
3:25 You should have asked them about which creators they were fond of. Instead you just walked away. 4:21 Why didn’t you talk to them? Ur vids are still fun
It would have made my day to have meet you there PF. Always enjoy your videos and content, your unique style of DND is so refreshing, I bet Gaming with you is a blast!
Hell last weekend I went to game shop where in the back they had different tablet top games, a few of those folks knew your vids. Make a stop down here we sure enjoy it
Man, I didn't go as i found the $200 price tag prohibitive, but if I knew you would be there I would have gone. I can't help but love and loop your videos, ever since I saw my first one in Dec 17 and it got me to walk into local Burbank store and learn the game. Fastforward six months and I DM 2-3 times a week, play 1-2 times, organize, and volunteer at convention AL play. I would love for a fan meetup if you actually are aroumd the SoCal/Los Angeles area regularly or on next visit!
I understand how you feel. I went to comic Con where I live, and some famous people, who I admired came to the convention. I was so nervous of meeting them that it took me two hours of circling around there panel to finally gain some confidence to talk to them.
I watched that event! Well a good portion of it live! Glad you could make it and wish I was still on the west coast! Oh and you're a famous person to me man!!! Keep making them videos and I hope to see some new ones covering all this new content they're coming out with in the fall!
Dude if you came to a convention near me I'd lose my mind punching out fans (who probably were just there for some other reason completely) just to meet you in person. I love your stories and animations.
Ah, that Puffin, thinks he's real people. So adorable.
*person
He's cute. Wanting to play with the big boys and all...
ÖzkanGaming Koçak r/woosh it’s supposed to be like that.
@@zrotsin6899 oh ok I didn't realized the joke and would appreciate you saying so instead of wooshing me

It's joke about the aaracockra flyn who he had shown in his videos.
"Y'know, you kind of sound like this weird guy I'm subscribed to on UA-cam. Goes by the name Puffin Forest."
"I heard that he likes to F#%K turtles!"
I spent an hour one day trying to do an Abderd voice prepping for an NPC in a game. I like to think I'd be able to pick Ben out by voice alone
@@ellisgee4196 yes him and his group are so infamous even the heavens call out the turtle f#$*kers glorious name true role models for the youth
I love how “never seen a famous person in the wild” implies he’s seen one in captivity
Me too puffin forest, me too
"It's a magic drink that makes you make bad decisions and forget things."
"I already do that without the drink."
Don't worry. Thanks to that impromptu hand reveal, I'm sure you'll be recognized much more in the future!
I can just see 200k people wandering about every convention they go to, staring at everyone's right hand. And then, "Ah ha! You're Puffin Forest, aren't you?"
"Ah, nope, sorry."
"Dang it!" *continues searching*
the DM Lair And when we finally find him, we are so star struck that we fail to talk with him ... yes, sounds like us.
That makes me think of that Spongebob episode where he was partially in the commercial, which leads him to believe everyone recognizes him.
I know right?
And now he has done a "face reveal" so we know his face for the next Stream of Many eyes.
"I've never actually shown my face before."
Doesn't show his face in this video either. 😂
The Master? I've heard stories of you. Far back in New California.
@@ncrtrooper1782 We can’t expect God to do all the work.
WHEN'S THE LEFTHAND REVEAL???
Maybe that was a stunt double? We will never know.
He has hands like the Fallout 4 guy! ermager could it b same person?!
I'm waiting for the pinky toe reveal like a true fan.
Baby tooth reveal!
UTERUS REVEAL??!?!?!!!!!?!?!???!??
Puffin is always drunk confirmed.
LOL - Yeah, I think that's more likely than "not knowing this alcohol of which you speak." 😃
the DM Lair he doesn't know what it is because alcohol is his water
Disnot Hsi I hope not... :)
the DM Lair even the water in his body has become alcohol
Maybe he is is like the reverse of Sam Vimes of Ankh-Morepork- his body overproduces natural alcohol, rather than not making enough.
A wild famous person appears!

Underrated channel. Easily one of my favs
I was about to go cry myself to sleep but then I saw you uploaded so that plan is on hold
Well, you could have cried while watching the episode... Tears of laughter. (Seriously, he didn't tell us ahead of time he was going and didn't do a face reveal.

Memes and Hearthstone everything okay, Mate?
Why cry yourself to sleep when you can drink yourself into a stupor instead?
Kelly Martin it's cheaper. Like 100% free
Jack Linde he should wear bright blue clothes
an accurate representation of me trying to ask someone out 4:13
Yeah happens to me too
Hooray! Ben is so coowl 'cause he's just like us!! Awkward, forgetful and nobody knows him! Yay! You're the best!!
3:10 Hand reveal!
So he's white
4:25 I just know I'd do this.
Well, unless it's you Ben. We can be awkward together!
I have done this! Frequently!
i can do that, i usually don''t get out of home.
but how would you know it's him if you don't know his face like he mentioned?
I have done that x'D
I'd like to think that I would be more confident than that, but I'm honestly not sure.

Ale is a type of beer. It's the heavy foamy kind like most craft beers. Lager is the lighter kind like most cheap stuff you buy in 12-packs at the grocery store.
Actually, the main difference between Lagers and ales is in the fermentation process.
Olli Koskinen You're right. I don't really know all of the details involved. I was just speaking generally about how the end results tend to turn out.
I can't be the only one who has no clue who that apparent famous person is right.
Tyler Gehring fairly certain its the kid from scott pilgrim vs the world.
Its 4:30am here....and I absolutely adore you. All your content has brought me back to DnD
I'm running a campaign now and you have inspired me to keep going on
Love hearing your words of wisdom 😂
Get home from work. Login. "New Puffin Forest video posted 12 seconds ago". Yeah, tonight's gonna be a good night.
Well now we can recognise you by your hand! I mean... I guess it was your hand?...
fool, that was Bigby's
Or Vecna's

Great point! First he shows the hand, then in another video the arm. Will we get an ankle next?!?

Years. And years
Face reveal. Otherwise, how will people stalk you?
XD
He has his actual face in other dnd faves he's in on other channels.
Other channels focus on other people, so his cameos don't show up enough for people to recognize him at a glance.
Well, theres Nerdarchy Spelljammer series where you can se his face for a couple hours every week...

You actually can see him if you really want to. He talks about the time when he played as a character called Abserd. As of right now there is a multiple-part series of videos where he's actually playing that game. So you can watch the actual game he briefly discusses on here. It's a 360 degree video that you can rotate until he appears on screen. I think he's to the right of the DM if I remember correctly
I'm lucky when meeting famous people. I just see them as fellow humans and ask how they're doing and of they're enjoying whatever event it is.
Never clicked so fast in my life.
Id have recognized thag melodious voice and showeted all of the praises upon you!
You should switch to a system that rewards "1"s.

But then his dice will start rolling high...
Is it just me or is this the best video Puffin Forrest has put out yet? I mean, I'm not just saying things and I don't hate his other stuff, but this felt like his deliveries were a lot funnier, the way he told the story felt more comedic, the animation seemed better and more expressive....
IDK if it's just me or what, but this seems like a notable step up from the Obelisk Encounter and his other videos I've been watching recently.
Knock knock its D E P R E S S I O N
I greatly enjoy your D&D videos & the stories you tell. I can't wait for the next video. Keep up the good work!
Do you have any advice for someone forwhom watching your channel has made them want to play DnD? But has no friends and lives slightly left of the middle of nowhere.
Hey, you prob wont see this and idk if you did get into it, im assuming yea but Roll 20 and discord groups are 1 way of doing it without all being together
i have been binge watching your videos for the last 2 days and am now going to go and try out some dnd.
3:25 You should have asked them about which creators they were fond of. Instead you just walked away.
4:21 Why didn’t you talk to them?
Ur vids are still fun
I don't... think you know how social anxiety works.
I enjoy your content that I evidently stumbled upon me day, have now watched all of your vids! Keep it up man
Give us dat face reveal bucko
man honestly this video was hilarious; I've watched several of yours, but this one earned my sub
Ben buddy it’s hard to find and praise you when we don’t know what you look like
your viedos have gotten alot better over the years keep it up I love your series
It would have made my day to have meet you there PF. Always enjoy your videos and content, your unique style of DND is so refreshing, I bet Gaming with you is a blast!
Liking for divine-perpetually-drunk-Ben.
I was cracking up the whole time though, that was just the best part.
Hell last weekend I went to game shop where in the back they had different tablet top games, a few of those folks knew your vids. Make a stop down here we sure enjoy it
That's awesome. Great story. I watched som live videos from that event maybe i saw you in the background. ;)
Please keep making these. They are great stories. You're fantastic.
If it's any condolence, I [BLEEP]ing love this channel, Puffin.
Dude I only listen to you and Zee Bashew as far as role-playing content creators go. You're totally a DnD celeb; KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 👍
I love dice, camera, action. Chris Perkins is wonderfully aweful and all the players do so well to stay in character and survive his tyranny.
Man, I didn't go as i found the $200 price tag prohibitive, but if I knew you would be there I would have gone. I can't help but love and loop your videos, ever since I saw my first one in Dec 17 and it got me to walk into local Burbank store and learn the game. Fastforward six months and I DM 2-3 times a week, play 1-2 times, organize, and volunteer at convention AL play. I would love for a fan meetup if you actually are aroumd the SoCal/Los Angeles area regularly or on next visit!
I understand how you feel. I went to comic Con where I live, and some famous people, who I admired came to the convention. I was so nervous of meeting them that it took me two hours of circling around there panel to finally gain some confidence to talk to them.
Dude i feel like you’d be an insane DM or just fit in beautiful and disastrously with my groups. Love your channel
I watched that event! Well a good portion of it live! Glad you could make it and wish I was still on the west coast! Oh and you're a famous person to me man!!! Keep making them videos and I hope to see some new ones covering all this new content they're coming out with in the fall!
Maan I wish I could have been there and gotten the chance to meet you, Ben! Love your videos!
Dude if you came to a convention near me I'd lose my mind punching out fans (who probably were just there for some other reason completely) just to meet you in person. I love your stories and animations.
