The girls: have great back stories. The guys: literally a garlic farmer, blacksmith, some denegrate elf and a jerk sorcerer 😂

[@abigailroderick2275]

What? Did you not hear Bodger’s backstory and how the hammer that is RIGHTFULLY his upon his grandfather’s deathbed, was taken by his own brother?! Baradun the ex-high sorcerer. B.O. from the Bladesong family, aka B.O.B. And Greg… literally just a garlic farmer.

[@Ejpon]

To be fair their backstory is literally the entire Epic NPC Man series, but yeah, girls backstories are looking really epic

[@chinnsky9706]

I prefer the backstory of the guys… its more humble and low key fantasy rather than fantasticle being over fantasticle being but everyone has his preferences

[@mr.truffles9294]

Rowan did point out when they were quarreling about their characters that they had no choice of the matter. Where Bob Could have chosen a healer. But what did he chose? A rouge.

[@Kreubs]

I'd wager it's the who's done a lot more jerking than the sorcerer

Rhi is so awesome. I love how into the role she gets, her character is hilarious and that accidental spell cast was just amazing

[@leickrobinson5186]

My favorite part of the opening is her “Ha-hah!!” as they slow-walk forward. Makes me smile every week. 😄

[@mikeycisar2665]

[@yoshilu7451]

I love Rhi, but I don't like Horatio. I don't know if that's entirely unintentional, though, considering all bards are generally annoying to an extent 😂(if you've ever played with one, I dare you to defy this hypothesis😂)

[@AlexanderosD]

She's totally my favorite! Love how she's jumped right into her character and the campaign!

[@iangametion]

That brief sudden sad backstory from phoenix just caught me off guard and made me sad😢

[@ICWiener007]

Me too, i even started to cry myself 😢

[@cloutic]

Same! Unexpected for sure.

[@zjoee]

I don't know how they could all resist giving her a hug when she looked like she was about to cry haha.

[@mistahanansi2264]

Geller is so creepy that even the bad guy is like “Geller, get the hell out of my house…” 😆

[@neowolf09]

"First of all Galler get out of my house" 😂😂😂

[@theq86]

Funniest line for this episode. I get the impression Geller is exceptionally off putting even for Darkwood standards.

[@jobiwan991]

Good to see Rob got to use the Bonecaller subplot that he would have typically just had to throw out when the guys campaign totally ignored that plothook.

[@duicic8541]

One thing, though - which species is he now? In the BATD campaign, Bonecaller is a High Elf of House Sylwyn. Here, he seems to be human.

[@boragozyt]

Large, broad guy, who's moving very fast and not wearing armor, who also has pale skin? Someone check on Bodger's brother...

[@mctv6829]

This is getting so good. Giving the ladies their own table was definitely the right decision, and the whole vibe is different from the guys. Less about action more about story and characters.

[@lambentlamprey]

Horatio gets plenty of action 😀

[@lomiification]

The vibes are different I think because the boys are making up new lore on the spot, and demand rob follow it. The boys also move really really slowly, because there's a comedy retract every minute or two, for a 30s segment

[@OdinsHarem]

Yeah, I love it!

[@keyboardSmashed_]

Namedrops, crossovers, and backstory, oh my!

[@Dynamic_Pear]

Rob is such an incredible story teller

[@atimidbirb]

"What do you meaaan, of course we are vampires, we have ze accent!" 😂😂😂 God I love the girls so much

[@Ryuujiish]

that accidental casting was basically wild surging outta nowhere! theyre really in their perfect spots of seats!

[@theq86]

The differences between the two tables is so apparent: Rob divulges important information at the boys table = Alan, Ben and Rowan just nod. Rob divulges important information at the girls table = Diligent note taking all around.

[@mdansbyjr]

19:43: Actually, Bubblé might ACTUALLY have heard all the stories of Bonecaller as a warning from friends and family as she left to explore the surface orld!

[@researchotaku]

Alternatively, since everything is so new to her, she probably asks a lot more questions than a regular land dweller. So if someone mentioned Bonecaller in passing, she would be more likely to ask more follow up questions.

[@Longwing70]

Maybe only because Ellie did socials for the guys and so actually saw all the episodes of BatD.

[@lambentlamprey]

OMG Mum, just because there's a necromancer on the surface, it doesn't mean I'll run into him. The surface is pretty big. I will be FINE.

[@overthinker8706]

This Trak'el is giving me Yaris Goldhorn vibes. I hope misfits aren't getting manipulated into something here.

[@applejuice8271]

17:07 the way Phoenix was actually tearing up🥲

[@hawkname1234]

I noticed that! She's a good actress!

[@JBAGrim]

The Geller Giggle will never stop being funny. I hope he becomes a permanent pet that follows them the whole campaign.

[@theq86]

If I had any artistic talent I'd love to illustrate Horatio wrapping Geller up in his bedroll.

[@mr.morelock]

Me? I'd much rather see him locked in a cage with Djeophe...

[@Nurichiri]

That perfect DM character change between Tris'kal and Geller at 17:45 though!

[@tjrobards]

Great rolls by Phoenix! It was cool getting that backstory from the failed save.

[@stranger83]

WAS THAT AN INVITATION? NOT TO YOU! 🤣

[@pclouds]

I wonder if Britt would riot and burn the house down if Rob kept her out for longer.

[@carledwards9477]

The storytelling in these episodes really makes things pop. I feel that the background is so much deeper for these characters than in the other D&D. Not to take away from the guys - theirs is fun, but this has more heart. Fun and some darker bits - awesome work!

[@DH-xw6jp]

The guys were working with pre established characters that were not designed for a DND world, so it makes sense that it would be harder to mesh

[@neodigremo]

Funny thing is I have found these characters a lot shallower than the guys so far. Probably due to the fact we have had barely any time to flesh them out and so there just is not as much material to work with to now. Not to take away from the girls but we just haven’t had a chance to get to know them.

[@hmthisisit]

Maybe, but personally I attribute this mainly to Robert who, due to the more attentive and mature nature of the girls, can finally direct storytelling more in the way he envisioned. I mean, even the NPC's feel on the higher end of the background depth spectrum from what we've seen so far. However, as nice as it is not having Rowan getting lost mid dialogue, it's this chaos thats the other campaign's whole appeal. From there we get iconic sequences such as "Yarris Goldhorn confronts 5 morons" or "I told you you were locked in here with us" and much, much more. I'm sure this group will have such moments of its own soon, but they'll be of a different kind.

[@carledwards9477]

Strangely, I feel that I know more about them in the D&D realm than the guys, but from a D&D perspective. The guys had their own world but it did feel like they were not quite the same as in the NPC world. That's just me, and that's why I truly enjoy hearing other people's perspectives - it makes me rethink stuff I thought I thought!

[@GM_Zig]

If I wanted depth, I'd be watching Critical Role. I'm here for the Lake-mountain-beach-cabins, Pologizing, undead uncles, horse facts, etc

[@henryhawkins8951]

100% relate to Britt going for the Longest Road in Catan! Also Rob - "Has anyone got wood for sheep?" 🤣 Can't beat the classics!

[@sparkselm173]

Did the Misfits just start a D.D.A.R.E. (D&D Abuse Resistance Education) program?

[@jorgebarriosmur]

As for the accusations against Baradun - I would vote for following the old tradition of "Guilty until proven innocent" when it comes to him.

[@Vermouth_19]

Loreeeeee I keep saying the roleplay is amazing and this one is another great example. Really happy with the direction this campaign took ❤

[@nylaofarda4875]

This feels like a therapy session for all of the Misfits

[@ryan1258]

Its basically weird seeing everyone taking notes instead of just the one at this point.

[@theq86]

To be fair the others started trying lately. (Makes me wonder if they saw girls doing it and followed suit.) Alan had the insight that Lathil is bad.

[@jeffaltier5582]

I watch each campaign for the men and women for two different reasons. The guys are great for being chaotic and not taking things too seriously. The ladies are more focused on the prize and character building. Both are really fun. Honestly, the ladies are more like the D&D groups I played with in the past.

[@Trying.To.Hug.TheWORLD]

Phoenix is so cool! Don't cry, Sneaky! *hug* Thanks for the emotions! ❤💙

[@benmottram7395]

Honestly I love the chaos that phoenix brings as Sneaki lol such a funny play through so far 😂

[@AlexanderosD]

Rob has some top tier campaign progression abilities. Tying the two different campaigns together while wrangling both parties to stay on focus, is a DM master skill in itself!

[@aschaff3995]

Rhi's accidental spell, and admitting what was on her mind was excellent. Goodwork misfits

[@TheShnitzel]

I'm totally in love with Phoenix, she's so adorable. Those puppy eyes when Sneaky was crying 😭

[@mdansbyjr]

19:09: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN! (Nice overlap, Rob! Yet again, you show how epic a DM you are!)

[@marijnschotsman5122]

Whaaaaat, that is the best crossover ever wtf.

[@jimmyhuang3676]

The vibe at first gave me flashbacks to how thoroughly things messed up when the dudes were invading Skabatha's tree house. But interestingly, this time the house owner is not directly hostile to the intruders/player characters, and the fight might be avoided. I wonder how the story will go. By the way, with the vampires' chain of command, does that mean a vampire practically has control over all the spawns of his/her spawns?

[@astrobotnautics5291]

Oh man, I'm going to have to rewatch this episode at least 4 times to figure out if there are any hints as to these character's alignment or what this could mean for BATD. And props to the mind-reading, that's a fantastic way to introduce some of the character backstory to us. I'm really getting sucked in.

[@yumiulrich4eva]

Phoenix crying really broke my heart 😭😭😭

[@jasonwestermeyer645]

I loved the 4th wall break and thumbs up from Phoenix when it's mentioned that D&D is legal gambling!

[@nataliedunn5239]

Yes! Confirmation that it was Bonecaller! Also I just wanted to hug Phoenix, she looked so sad after Sneaki was made yo to cry.

At first it felt like not much was happening, but, this is VLDL, something will ALWAYS happen! 😂 - Looooving the tie-in with the boys story! Makes for a great full bodied story in one go. I knew it was already happening, but this one brought it into a timeline I could follow: yay! - The PSA: I am in stitches right now! 🤣🤣🤣Had to pause the episode since I was not able to follow it anymore. 🤣 - And biggest one of all: Noooo, Gellerrrrr ... don't run awayyyyy! I truly hoped for more of his creepy-ness to outshine any conversation into itself (if that makes sense 😆) Phoenix/Sneaki almost crying ... I FELT it! I wanted to grab her and put her in my pocket for safekeeping. Everyone has their own story, off course, but hers, in this moment, sounded so desperate, and she became so fragile ... With Arrow I know the story made her more bad-ass, she is realy leaning into it, finding creepy stuff cute and so on, but Sneaki made herself bad-ass through her loss. This episode is amazing! A lot moer fleshed out it feels like. Thanks Misfits!

[@valalkuino3123]

Man, because this is all happening in the same world, I think the final battle with Laethil or Kelothac would be a mega table episode where all of the adventurers are like just there and it would be amazing! Can’t wait for that but at the same time, I wouldn’t want this series to end. I mean it can theoretically go for eternity anyway. But yeah, super excited now that we have 2 things going in 1 world ❤❤❤
