    Just a little advice for people who may not have that much experience with ice and snow. If you have to for some reason cross over icy lake or river and you aren't sure the ice can carry you: crawl, don't walk. That way your weight is distriputed to wider are which makes it less likely for the ice to break. Just a friendly advice from the north.

      Also take something that could help you get up in case you do fall in.
      If you fall and manage to get up, roll away from the hole to a direction you know was safe.
      If you need to help someone else get up from the ice, don't go any closer than necessary and offer them a long scarf or branch or something.

      Here's some advice from the South: take a running start, then glide with your whole body across the lake at high speeds. That way he weight is still distributed and you'll cross much faster.

      These sessions are the high quality combinations of game session realism while still being highly entertaining and funny. Tough balance.
      There are other realistic D&D session channels. But you know, for me, there's a bit too much realism and they come across as ~cringe (imo, only). Not here.

      @@AyarARJ yeah - the balance is all about ‘seeing the fun of being a player’ and ‘seeing the fun of being the character’. Neither is always serious - and since it live rolling of table play, the VLDL acting crew (including guests and Rob) is actually improvising ‘their characters’ and improvising ‘funny player to player table talk’ too…. It takes a lot of skill to build off of each other and make it entertaining. Yes - Sometimes they need to be a bit ‘more focused’, but on the whole - it make for way more entertainment than a ‘more serious’ campaign. This is the magic of VLDL D&D. - we have fun poking at our characters, each other’s characters, each other, and ourselves….. also: lest I forget - turning on subtitles adds even another layer of humor [[poking fun at everyone -you rock too - Lorquin ]]

      Chainmail is surprisingly not that much of a hindrance when swimming. The dispacement negates a lot of the weight, and unlike clothes, it doesn't get soaked making swimming harder. There are quite a few videos of people swimming in chainmail on youtube.
      Freezing on the other hand... yeah, burning the hut down should have been a death sentence, in freezing weather, especially in a snowstorm, wet clothes doesn't dry in front of a fire anytime soon, and wearing metal in subzero temperatures makes you lose body heat FAST.

    well, that's actually what we call them in French

      Similar in German, although not the wing part. Fledermaus roughly means flutter mouse after a couple of centuries 😬

    I believe the trick if you fall into icy water is to then go roll around in the snow. While that sounds nuts, it freezes the water solid so it doesn't pull the heat away from you as quickly as it would in liquid form

    So, Grinns clothes are soaked through with freezing water, he's wearing chainmail, they are standing in a graupel storm next to shelter containing a bed and warm clothes. Baradum: "I burn the cot to the ground". I think Bodger is getting competition :-D :-D :-D

    • @sya8109
      @sya8109 2 роки тому +1

      Yeah I was a bit surprised by that. He could have asked Bodger to break a chunk of wood and used that to start the fire 😅
