So, Jim's kiss with gaulders tower is probably the greatest play in D&D ever

[@josiahklein70]

I wish he had said, "I'll show you yours if you show me mine."

[@commentor981]

i must have missed something.. how can he do that when it has 10 min cast time?

[@brianseguel5308]

@@commentor981 I think they just missed that, maybe it was just a Daerns instant fortress (which is three stories tall) with a little bit of flavor towards what can be considered as "ground" placement

[@jackt.3331]

@@commentor981 I would like to think something like that is up to the DM. Also, I feel like a few of these things are loosely scripted. D&D is about fun with your friends and frankly if someone in one of my groups pulled some slick shit like this I'd let it slide too lol.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

commentor981 Pat Rothfuss Style Bullshit Retcon: Jim already had it readied as a Held Action because he was about to do it as part of his performance before Lich Jim came back out. Realistic Answer: Rule of Cool frequent supersedes RaW, especially in these type of Live Games.

[@kingstewy]

There should of been some perception rolls with the devils. Galder's Tower takes 10 minutes to cast and has verbal and somatic components. The very fact that he was casting spells during his show would make casting this spell not possible via RAW! And, yes I know he is the rule designer.

[@emessar]

If the "real" Jim Darkmagic is a lich, doesn't that make him slim Jim?

There are so many spectacular moments from this show, but Pat Rothfuss delivers one of the best moments in AI history at 41:00 telling Omin Dran to be a better person. The descent of Omin from opportunistic to evil was long and slow, and Viari offering him a chance to redeem himself was delivered masterfully.

[@sweatband100]

I agree, such an incredible character moment and I loved the way Omin responded with a sarcastic remark and then a thoughtful handshake.

[@reubenfromow4854]

THAT KISS DUDE

[@alchemicpunk1509]

Gotta say, Anna has at this point mastered roleplaying the Lawful Good Dupe without sacrificing the integrity of her character. I think the trick lies in Evelyn being too morally absolute and pure to actually comprehend the inherently corrupt and evil nature of cold, hard capitalist corporate culture.

[@ROYBGP]

What do you mean? It's literally the most typical paladin thing. She's still great just saying your point is dumb.

[@eduardomoreiradias]

The funniest thing about this whole video is that Mike tells Jerry that the number of the beast is three sixes, but at that very moment Jerry had rolled a six for the third time during the game.

In real D&D games, the rules get misremembered all the time!

[@BostonDeadHead]

Last comment I promise. Lol. WOTC knows what they are doing by inviting Wrestlers to play. They have amazing improve talent. Wrestling is already like larping. So it works really well. Hyper RPG has a new D&D show coming out that fuses wrestling and D&D together. This will be big. Because wrestling has a big fan base especially with tweens and teens. This will bring in a whole new generation of D&D players. I'm in my 40s now I haven't watched wrestling since the Brutus The Barber beefcake days. But wow do wrestlers make for great role players. I do love how D&D is mainstream now. When I first started playing in the early 80s you didn't tell anyone you played. It was played and talked about behind closed doors. Even though a ton of us played.
