@herschefelicity640 I have literally told all my friends and family, even those that do not play DnD to watch this series. I have even organized a watch party with my brother and sister.
I hit like before I watched it 👍 they talked about it in the wrap up to betrayal. The numbers just stayed up or they would have stopped, hopefully they stay motivated here too
It amuses me that Amanda, the newest player at the table, is IMMEDIATELY a monsterfucker, just out the gate. RESPECT. For the record, this is meant as a COMPLIMENT. ;)
fernie just being a bumbling idiot of a giant, dolores being a momma bear with single horny divorcee energy, koda bursting into a sword song, and angela just being angela. love this so much.
It's like when you finish a kitchen shift - hot, thirsty, SO tired of the day... wandering to the bar, ordering a pitcher ... and just downing it yourself -- from the pitcher -- almost in one go ... AHHHH. Better. So, what're we having?
I loved it, it gave me big Deadpool vibes from Hawkeye vs Deadpool lmao: "Four hot dogs, please." "Oh, no, thanks, I'm not hungry." "Fine. Four hot dogs, please, and none for my friend."
The fact that Bug says to Fernie "oh so it's your eyesight that's bad" about the squirrel/girl thing and then later Fernie rolls a NAT 1 for perception in the forest is so fucking funny
Holy shit, Bug is amazing. Having Angela just constantly talking and filling silence with awkward muttering to herself, and misplaced one-liners is just a whole thing unto itself.
You realize damien didn't actually make the campaign. He actually took it from a 3.0 campaign D&D already had and reskinned it and added some stuff to make it seem his own it's not. Any hard-core D&D player knows the campaign he's "made"is fake. Also let's talk about how they only do this for clout. Even Damien has said I don't rreeeeeaalllyyy like D&D however it's ok and fans dig it so we play it.
@@lolwut6666 Don't be a gatekeeper. Hardcore players don't look down on others for running/playing the game in different ways or for different reasons - hardcore players want as many people as possible to play and love this game, so it continues to grow.
Damien has found his calling, this is like the 10th time I watched these so far. The campaign is fun and alive, the cast is perfect and I could ask for nothing more.
Shayne channeling his inner toddler, Amanda channeling her inner mom instincts, Chanse being the cool older sibling, and Angela being a literal goblin = chef's kiss 😘 Edit: Damien being THE voice actor and lore master aaaaaaaaa
I just adore how when Gunthar was introduced he kept asking Dolores and koda to keep Bug away from him but like Bug instantly won him over in the carriage and they just are best friends now with Bug cuddled up next to him just chatting and I feel like Gunthars energy is just “I just found this, and if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.”❤
"What does that look like to you?" instead of "How do you want to do this?" is such a breath of fresh air. Critical Role has had such a huge effect on DM style over the years that seeing Damien having his own style which takes good ideas and tunes them to fit him just shows how much of a natural he is.
"What does that look like to you?" is the same as "How do you want to do this?" mechanically speaking. It is a good idea, for sure, but it is literally the same thing, just worded differently. NADDPOD does that too, but says "Finish him!" a la Mortal Kombat.
It’s Dimension 20. Damien watched a lot of Dimension 20. He even did the “bup-up-up-up” thing when he was counting the damage on that first attack. That’s Brennan 101. Not saying that’s a bad thing, though. I LOVE D20 and I think it’s an incredible source to take inspiration from. I just found it really funny that Damien did the same little noise Brennan does when he’s counting dice and I had to say it somewhere.
I didn't expect the halfling grandma to be the horny character that hits on everybody but I'm all for it. Also love Bug's personality of being insecure wanting to prove themselves but not really having to cause everyone is just so supportive. I'd expect her big bad to be one that plays exactly on those fears.
Can we just appreciate the sounds the editors put it? Like the horse running and neighing, the wind, the birds, the doors creaking, the whistling etc. It just brings everything to life

I’m so excited for this series and I plan on writing down important/funny moments from every episode! If you watch critical role you might know what I mean. Please enjoy and comment if I have missed anything :D
Shaynes history with dice in this will absolutely run terribly well with this! Plus his character is top tier comedy. And Damiens natural DM air is gorgeous, I can't wait for more!!!
I can tell Damien put a lot of effort into this and he did such a great job with making the setting come to life, it was fun imagining what things looked like!
I think there's a natural transfer of skillsets between improv actors/comedians and D&D. I always describe D&D to new players as "It's like Whose Line Is It Anyway?, but the only game is Scenes From The Dice." And we all know Amanda is nothing if not an improvisational artiste.
I just have to say, I am so very happy that there are closed captions for this video, as someone with auditory processing issues, this makes the difference between understanding and enjoying a video ❤
damien pointing out garland is in fact a name while looking at angela bc in the 2 truths 1 lie episode he said his parents almost named him garland and angela questioned if it was even a name💀💀
Fernie is right, you can choose your family. You have mother Delores, little cousin in honors Bug, Cousin Koda who is definitely a drama king, and youngest kid Fernie who everyone has decided to protect.
That sounds amazing! Another option could be a bunch of images set as a slideshow advancing as the story goes on, I assume animation could take some time to complete.
Every DM needs a player like Angela with a wide eyed wonder and appreciation with how the DM and other players contribute to the narrative and the ability to have amazing contributions as well
HUGE shoutout to the editors! It was such an immersive experience with the background noise, the music, the cuts between the players, everything. Also great job to the art department on those character drawings. I hope this never ends, I love it so much.
Angela playing a boisterous goblin and Chanse playing an elegant elf are just so on-point; i remember a funeral, i forget who was the cadaver, where Chanse was described as having biblically-accurate eyes; the ethereal beauty of elves can also be a bit unsettling to other races
This was amazing! Someone should animate this if it hasn’t been done yet. They’re all so good at describing the scene and characters, it would be so awesome.
I was thinking wooden Bastion (Overwatch) but Baymax fits so much better. Also holy f*ck, I completely forgot that show existed, thank you that nostalgia trip. 🤯
damien's storyitelling is like reading a book and realizing you're really enjoying it after a paragraph. this is great. i hope some smosh members guest in the future episodes, that'd be awesome
Yeahhh I’d love if other cast like Arasha or Tommy pop in for NPCs or something! Damien is doing a really good job with it though! I’d hate for him to be coming up with all these new voices every single time a new character pops up lol. But I guess that’s kinda what the DM is for?
Legit so many moments where I had mad visuals making me burst out laughing 😂 That was a huge one. Also loved him ordering a cask of ale and lying flat in the back of the cart
As someone who has never played D&D, and knew nothing of it until this video, I now want to play D&D. Damien is such an enthusiastic story teller, he should volunteer at libraries reading books to kids. And also I WOULD ACTUALLY DIE FOR FERNIE AND CANT WAIT TO SEE HIS CHARACTER PROGRESS.
There are many websites dedicated to finding groups and with online tools now available it is super easy to get into. I hope you do. It is my all time favorite hobby
I need another episode of this immediately. 10 days is too long... This was so wonderful. Every cast members' creativity shines in this group, playing the characters they're playing.
Keep this series afloat! We may start at Episode 1, but we should reach Season 10! Also, big props to the art department! 3:02 - Bug 3:45 - Dolores 4:39 - Koda 5:30 - Fernie 46:36 / 46:43 - Dolores: "I haven't... _finished_ in a long time." Koda: *"Jesus* Christ." Bug: "Holy shit! You just Eldritch Blasted someone, and you're -cumming- cause he touched your head!?" Fernie: "We haven't finished, we're not there yet, guys!"
I love how much Shayne is playing into the wooden warforged character, not just in the speech but also in describing how even things like perception would be different
Good idea to get the proffessional voice actor to be the DM. Also fun to see people who make characters for a living actually like, make one and just stick to it, hopefully this will be fun for everyone.
I think I may be adding Damien to my list of favorite DMs. He did so well! This is so chill and light hearted. I adore it so far. This is also a perfect short first session to show to friends who are interested in playing D&D but dont know what it looks like yet.
became immediately clear within the first 10 minutes that Fernie is a role Shayne was born to play
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING HAHA. he is playing a himbo, just as God intended
He can play out his fantasy, being tall
He's playing the iron giant but... Not iron
BAHAHAHA
0 of this cast has any knowledge of d&d
For those new and familiar to dnd. We have to keep this series alive as long as possible. Please. The cast and crew have worked so hard on this. Let show them that we love them!
Yesss please!! Let's keep this going
@herschefelicity640 I have literally told all my friends and family, even those that do not play DnD to watch this series. I have even organized a watch party with my brother and sister.
@@cusmazxious i love this so much! That's a great idea

This. I'd love for this to become a new Critical Role or Dimension 20.
I’m so proud of this cast and crew. 😭😭😭 I hope you all enjoy our passion project!!!
Love it! Also Character sheets released when?
I enjoyed it immensly. Btw you're a master at handling NPCs.
I would’ve never thought it’s your first time DMing if you didn’t say so in the video! Great job man!
Absolutely! Love tabletops!
Thanks for DaMien-ing! I love that you're having so much fun :)
It amuses me that Amanda, the newest player at the table, is IMMEDIATELY a monsterfucker, just out the gate. RESPECT.
For the record, this is meant as a COMPLIMENT. ;)
People who are new to D&D tend to go wild in my experience
fernie just being a bumbling idiot of a giant, dolores being a momma bear with single horny divorcee energy, koda bursting into a sword song, and angela just being angela. love this so much.
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go"
~ Oscar Wilde
Honestly the chemistry between these characters is great! You can tell that all the players are having so much fun. That’s what dnd is about
“I’ll have four meads, what is everyone else having” is such an underappreciated bit
It's like when you finish a kitchen shift - hot, thirsty, SO tired of the day... wandering to the bar, ordering a pitcher ... and just downing it yourself -- from the pitcher -- almost in one go ... AHHHH. Better. So, what're we having?
I loved it, it gave me big Deadpool vibes from Hawkeye vs Deadpool lmao: "Four hot dogs, please." "Oh, no, thanks, I'm not hungry." "Fine. Four hot dogs, please, and none for my friend."
The fact that Bug says to Fernie "oh so it's your eyesight that's bad" about the squirrel/girl thing and then later Fernie rolls a NAT 1 for perception in the forest is so fucking funny
Dolores flirting all episode just to turn around and go “oh no he’s dumb” KILLED ME 😂
she had to tho bc otherwise "i'll write you" to "alright you"... she'd be deceased with that 100d20 piercing damage to the heart
Shayne kept rolling the lowest roll will never not be funny to me LMAO
After the last series, Dice are truly his greatest enemy
someone should give him loaded dice so he has a chance of at least getting a 6
@@reinforcementpandas5502 frrrr lmao I think Fernie could get away with it
Shayne playing that character and rolling that poorly had me laughing so hard. This has got to be the best thing I’ve seen out of Smosh Games yet.
he has such murph rolls haha
25 minutes in an Shayne is already almost drowning. That boy has got a running gag and he is holding onto it.
Yo!! Good callback!
ah yes, a joke 30-something years in the making
They do say the best comedians pull from real experiences....guess Shaynes only experiences is drowning and So Random XD
Holy shit, Bug is amazing. Having Angela just constantly talking and filling silence with awkward muttering to herself, and misplaced one-liners is just a whole thing unto itself.
Normally I'm not an Angela fan but she straight up embodies her character. Fantastic choice.
Bug is absolutely my favorite character
literally the alcohol line between her and shayne (fernie) was so good
Let’s all point out the faces she makes are priceless and you can just imagine bug is just as expressive when fangirling over her heroes
Fernie knowing what a museum is and not knowing what a squirrel is, peak Shayne Himbo energy
I LOVE Fernie, he’s so dumb
I’m so proud of Damien for all of the effort he put into this. We are all so lucky to get to see this group of ridiculous humans play D&D.
Facts this is gonna be great 💯

Yeah imagine getting paid to play dnd. So cool
I’m about to start my first campaign as DM too!
If this series keeps going for a while, they should all dress as their characters while filming an episode
Shayne’s would probably just be him as a box robot with the cardboard markered to look like wood
I was hoping Shayne was gonna go "the chosen" edge lord on us...
Even better, team up with Corridor Crew and make a collab episode of their DnD series!
Yes that’s exactly what I said as well
They could probably have live sessions as well, but im just looking forward to the fanart!
I just can't get over the fact that Shayne's VERY FIRST ROLL to this was a Nat 1.
He literally is Fernie, I don't know what to tell you.
It was so fitting for his character! Cracked me up.
ok
squirrel girl rhymes
Shayne "protecting" the Dryad that charmed him by hitting the other one was a genius move. It's also perfectly in character as the himbo.
Damien has always given the vibe of being a great DM but seeing him do it is so so much better 🥺
I'm sorry but this is so frikkin cool
Damien has found his calling, this is like the 10th time I watched these so far. The campaign is fun and alive, the cast is perfect and I could ask for nothing more.

Angela is gonna kill it!
It's lore meister thank you very much
Oh this is definitely a good description of why I was seeing it all work SO WELL.
@@codydaigle4354oh, absolutely right, my apologies!
7:38 fernie and bug looking in opposite directions in perfect sync for who Krungar was calling dumb was PEAK

definition of an inside joke
Very violent. I like it.
Ah yes the B99 reference gotta love that😂❤
I love spotting a random B99 reference in the wild!
I so want Angela to continue blaming the crossbow for everything lol
I mean, sooner or later Bug is gonna probably loose his anus from a crossbow accident like Ketchum
I want Bug to be really bad at everything 😂
Even IRL
Crossbro*
I love how every character is just themselves except for Shayne being a giant
also Amanda halfling 😂
Wdym shayne IS a giant
Shayne has a giants heart
This should not be that funny 😂😂😂
your telling me a dumnass himbo is NOT Shayne ??? XD
I love the contrast between Amanda playing a shorter character and shayne playing the tallest one
"What does that look like to you?" instead of "How do you want to do this?" is such a breath of fresh air. Critical Role has had such a huge effect on DM style over the years that seeing Damien having his own style which takes good ideas and tunes them to fit him just shows how much of a natural he is.
Exactly the same thought I had when I heard him say that, I love it
"What does that look like to you?" is the same as "How do you want to do this?" mechanically speaking. It is a good idea, for sure, but it is literally the same thing, just worded differently.
NADDPOD does that too, but says "Finish him!" a la Mortal Kombat.
It’s Dimension 20. Damien watched a lot of Dimension 20. He even did the “bup-up-up-up” thing when he was counting the damage on that first attack. That’s Brennan 101. Not saying that’s a bad thing, though. I LOVE D20 and I think it’s an incredible source to take inspiration from. I just found it really funny that Damien did the same little noise Brennan does when he’s counting dice and I had to say it somewhere.
@@alfombra1054 lol I noticed that too! Love seeing different dms take inspiration from each other :)
@@roro_is_tired9975 ikr? it’s like a weird cool DM multiverse coming together
Angela fucking in awe of Shayne’s description of Primal Savagery is the best lol 😆
@43:25 in case you were wondering.
I love it because it also fits in character with Big being a massive fan of Fernie as well!
I can’t wait for fernie to start his literacy arc
Ah yes the basic education arc
fernie fr gonna save the world
Shayne choosing to be the most himbo character ever is so great 😭 everyone falls into their roles so naturally, I loved every minute of this!
quickly becomes everyone's favorite
Literally everything about it is perfection
My fav character so far lmao
I honestly thought he would do the dumpster wizard and either be a wizard or a wild magic sorcerer
That or the chosen
I LOVE how much Angela loves Shayne's character
Amanda playing a tiny character and Shayne playing a huge one is wholesome.
"he was a really weird looking horse" WAS HILARIOUS
Hey he brought us the whole way here! Lol
I didn't expect the halfling grandma to be the horny character that hits on everybody but I'm all for it. Also love Bug's personality of being insecure wanting to prove themselves but not really having to cause everyone is just so supportive. I'd expect her big bad to be one that plays exactly on those fears.
All the characters have personality, I loved Chase's tag lines.
I'm just hoping he's wearing some sort of, uh... underclothing for his horse half. She's at the right level to see /everything/ otherwise.
Delores sounds like a mom that finally got a chance to head out on her own with her mom friend group.
14:27 dolores going "oh my god" at every gunthar description kills me every time
Dolores' fascination with the Gunthar is my favorite thing in this episode. "I haven't finished in a long time.." KILLED ME
Angela peaking over the DM screen every couple minutes is hilarious
peeking*
Damien’s barkeep voice awoke something in me
Edit: I’m sorry, all of the voices he’s doing is awakening something in me
No same 😭
Watching Shayne nod and smile to himself at 5:21 when Damian started to introduce his character is the most wholesome thing ever
Always a joy to watch Shayne shine.
@@DamienHaasTV NO WAY- i’m actually dumbfounded rn my comment got replied to by one of my favorite people
@@DamienHaasTVShayne could probably go full murderhobo and still make it entertaining enough for a full episode (don't give him that idea though)
The character synergy is just incredible, I could watch Bug and Fernie all day
At first I was thrown by the seat changes from legacy to this, but now I’m so glad Shayne and Angela are next to each other lmaoo 😭
Can we just appreciate the sounds the editors put it? Like the horse running and neighing, the wind, the birds, the doors creaking, the whistling etc. It just brings everything to life

Yea it's gonna be a great practice for him and you can tell he's having fun.
Best comment ever 😂
ok but can we acknowledge how AWESOME the character art is like wow
Loved each one! So amazing!!! 🤩
its absolutely stunning!!!
I would LOVE if they popped up more often. Like little portraits popping up on group shots/solo scenes

Chanse/Koda: “maybe shoot the target.. the first time…”
Angela/Bug: “👁️👄👁️”
Fernie is right, you can choose your family. You have mother Delores, little cousin in honors Bug, Cousin Koda who is definitely a drama king, and youngest kid Fernie who everyone has decided to protect.
I feel like the further we get into this campaign, Fernie and Bug will become really good friends.
I can also see a friendly(??) competition brewing between Bug and Koda! I wonder how far their spats and one-upping would go.
I hope we eventually get an animated version of this. I need to see Fernie chugging a barrel of mead
It worked for Legend of Vox Machina! 😁
i wanna see fernie face down in mud so bad
YES
And face down in the mud blowing bubbles
That sounds amazing! Another option could be a bunch of images set as a slideshow advancing as the story goes on, I assume animation could take some time to complete.
The best part of was Fernie being so clueless they literally couldn’t be charmed.
This is like hearing a book while watching the characters have dialog live. Beautiful idea whoever came up with this.
Rewatcher here. DnD is supposed to be like that! It’s so much fun, it’s like a choose your own adventure. Highly suggest you try it!
Now we just need the costumes and this will literally be the best D&D campaign ever.
I’m trying to imagine the arts department building a gigantic wooden Iron Giant for him to climb into 😂
Fernie is an absolute treasure. We must all protect the big dumb cinnamon roll.
Every DM needs a player like Angela with a wide eyed wonder and appreciation with how the DM and other players contribute to the narrative and the ability to have amazing contributions as well
I agree, Angela is all around awesome
Shayne's character, immediately, is exactly what I expected from him and it's perfect.
HUGE shoutout to the editors! It was such an immersive experience with the background noise, the music, the cuts between the players, everything. Also great job to the art department on those character drawings. I hope this never ends, I love it so much.
Yeah, those character designs were gorgeous.
Amanda being a halfling is perfect. Angela, the chaos goblin is playing a chaos Goblin? Also perfect. Whoever did the art is fantastic!
This is golden. I am already hooked. Also, I’m so glad Shayne and Angela are sitting next to each other. They feed off of each other’s energy so well.
Hahahahahaha can't wait for bug to get thrown across a battle as a projectile hahaha

This is Futurama in the forest and I'm so down.
You should see fantasy high or the unsleeping city by dimension 20 if you like modernized magic
@@Bubaiel true- it’s the same reason I love the Dresden files- spellcasting fights are cooler when guns are also involved lmao
I just love that Angela is named Bug. I expect to hear at least one Starship Ranger reference during this campaign.
Oh my gosh, I hope so!
That was my exact thought when I first saw that she was called Bug!
I wanna be a Starship Ranger!
@@DaelinDEven if it might sound strange!
i’m already too emotionally attached to this series
I’m already in love with all of these characters and if anything happens to them I will riot
fernie's already living in my head rent free, if something happens to any of them i might not actually survive watching this campaign
dude damien and angela are such an underrated duo, the conversations between gunther and bug had me SOBBING they match each others energy so damn well
This was great. Seriously if Smosh made a separate DnD channel, I would subscribe.
Yesss a Smosh DnD channel would be amazing
As long as it becomes a recurring series I don't need another channel
Good to see that Shayne's luck is still affecting his dice rolls with D20s
Angela playing a boisterous goblin and Chanse playing an elegant elf are just so on-point; i remember a funeral, i forget who was the cadaver, where Chanse was described as having biblically-accurate eyes; the ethereal beauty of elves can also be a bit unsettling to other races
This was amazing! Someone should animate this if it hasn’t been done yet. They’re all so good at describing the scene and characters, it would be so awesome.
I'm just listening to this and I can see everything in my head. I totally agree, this would be really great animated.
There have been a lot of scenes animated, but not the whole series
Someone please animate the whole girl-squirrel conversation
on it
@@Scrofarplease let us know when it's up 😊
.
Please comment in here when it's done
Don't post the link tho, UA-cam doesn't like when you put links in comments
Commenting so I get notified
Fernie got that Baymax energy and I'm enjoying it
I was thinking wooden Bastion (Overwatch) but Baymax fits so much better. Also holy f*ck, I completely forgot that show existed, thank you that nostalgia trip. 🤯
I love Angela's genuine amazement when anyone else describes something cool happening
She is becoming one of my favorite staff members!
squirrel girl rhymes
The roleplaying is great and the smaller party size is refreshing to watch. I think Damien is a great DM. Can't wait for more
Everyone: *trying to cover up their lame quest from the other party.*
Fernie: “WE DELIVERING THIS TABLET”
i am obsessed with fernie's lack of social cues. autistic king
@@lydiamarie9991 real actually
Shayne as a gigantic wooden robot who doesn’t know what a squirrel is is hilarious
No, his perception is 1, so he simply couldn't pinpoint where Chanse's character was pointing. Also 'girl' doesn't rhyme with 'squirrel'.
Damien has literally never been cooler. DMing is so impressive.
"We're not nerds, I dont read!" Thanks for making me spit out my coffee😂🤣
damien's storyitelling is like reading a book and realizing you're really enjoying it after a paragraph. this is great. i hope some smosh members guest in the future episodes, that'd be awesome
Yeahhh I’d love if other cast like Arasha or Tommy pop in for NPCs or something! Damien is doing a really good job with it though! I’d hate for him to be coming up with all these new voices every single time a new character pops up lol. But I guess that’s kinda what the DM is for?
I just need to see the chaos and shenanigans Spencer would bring to this!!!
4:45 I was entirely preparing for Shayne to be the one with all the swagger, so for it to be Chanse is a wonderful thing 😂
I have never wanted something to become animated so badly- I’m so in love with this series
FOR REALLL
Honestly the fact that this almost has 1mil views is fucking amazing! I'm so proud of all of them 😭🥰❤️
I’m already in love with the party dynamic, I think everyone can agree this series will be one of the best in recent times
I just can't stop imagining this 8 foot tall wooden robot screaming face down in the mud in the most monotoned way
Legit so many moments where I had mad visuals making me burst out laughing 😂 That was a huge one. Also loved him ordering a cask of ale and lying flat in the back of the cart
@@Jack-of-Hearts- just super still looking straight up lol
@@facelessjoker6866 so perfect 😂😂 i think Koda’s naming game and big brother energy is gonna be a huge way to offset that humour and I love it
As someone who has never played D&D, and knew nothing of it until this video, I now want to play D&D. Damien is such an enthusiastic story teller, he should volunteer at libraries reading books to kids. And also I WOULD ACTUALLY DIE FOR FERNIE AND CANT WAIT TO SEE HIS CHARACTER PROGRESS.
D&D is so much fun to play! Gotta find a group, but that's getting easier and easier nowadays.
Same here. I assumed I'd have to memorize and write down so many facts that it'd be this confusing mess of a game.
ikrrr, I feel like I'm walking along with them ❤
There are many websites dedicated to finding groups and with online tools now available it is super easy to get into. I hope you do. It is my all time favorite hobby
@@ben5676755especially since it's easier just to convince your friends to play. It won't always be a yes but many are willing to just try it
While Dolores is on this journey, i constantly think of her hands as constantly busy in a flurry of *passive aggressive knitting*
The way damien said " oh you will be helping things"... I can't wait for the plot twists in his story, and character, in typical damien fashion
I caught that too!
Starting as a delivery crew, I like it. It's even kind of like fantasy futurama with Shayne's Fernie alcohol loving warforged
Shayne is bender confirmed
I will die if Fermie says “BITE MY SHINY WOODEN ASS” at some point 🤣
Damien being a natural DM and everyone is just killing their roles. Love this!
I need another episode of this immediately. 10 days is too long... This was so wonderful. Every cast members' creativity shines in this group, playing the characters they're playing.
Damien killed it as DM and the whole cast was very enjoyable to watch. MORE. MORE.
The sheer audacity of having a set & table built specifically for this & still doing theater of the mind
@@BarbaraYagaWell, no. This set is built for their regular board game show like last year.
Keep this series afloat! We may start at Episode 1, but we should reach Season 10!
Also, big props to the art department!
3:02 - Bug
3:45 - Dolores
4:39 - Koda
5:30 - Fernie
46:36 / 46:43 - Dolores: "I haven't... _finished_ in a long time."
Koda: *"Jesus* Christ."
Bug: "Holy shit! You just Eldritch Blasted someone, and you're -cumming- cause he touched your head!?"
Fernie: "We haven't finished, we're not there yet, guys!"
Perfect party dynamics
That’s an RPG I wanna play, I love the banter 🤲🏼
okay but the sound design on this video??? SO EXCELLENT, i can't get over how talented everyone here is 😭😭
So so so good. Damien kills it as a DM and Amanda was great for her first time playing! So excited for more episodes!
I love how much Shayne is playing into the wooden warforged character, not just in the speech but also in describing how even things like perception would be different
Delores really giving us that kindergarten art teacher vibe
Good idea to get the proffessional voice actor to be the DM. Also fun to see people who make characters for a living actually like, make one and just stick to it, hopefully this will be fun for everyone.
Make sure you ask Damien to rank his favorite voice over works at Smosh-Con.
I think I may be adding Damien to my list of favorite DMs. He did so well! This is so chill and light hearted. I adore it so far.
This is also a perfect short first session to show to friends who are interested in playing D&D but dont know what it looks like yet.
