Action Surge Episode 4 | Natural Six D&D Post Show | D&D 5e

From the sweet taste of caramel to the even sweeter taste of Dolly's vengeance, episode 4 was a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Join us as we dive into the fun and chaos of The Festival of Benediction, to some intense saving throws behind the DM screen.
In this episode, the team breaks down everything, from the improv of homebrew madness to how Harry masterfully builds the world when the party decides to go totally off the rails.
Action Surge is Natural Six's fortnightly post-show debrief, where Dungeon Master Harry and the cast break down their favourite moments, their regrets, and any theories from the Dungeons and Dragons session they've just played, as well as adding their thoughts and hopes for future play. #NaturalSix #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #actualplay

As a DM, I adore the life players breathe into my world. Every unforseen action leading to a new location is exciting. Every character and space I have to improvise adds to the atmosphere. Due to them, the world breathes, and grows, and lives. Gosh, I love DND

[@jackusmaracus]

I don't know why, but it never occurred to me that we might get multiple series of this. Hearing Harry speculate about the characters' progression across several potential series has me feeling really grateful to be here right at the beginning and able to follow this journey for however long it lasts. I'm really enjoying all of this and I definitely want more!

[@CraftedCampaigns]

"I enjoyed not having the minis"... Alex... I'm deeply wounded! Even though I really agree with all that you said... still wounded! 😂

[@Dead-EyeJuncan]

Join us next time for more adventures of Spoon Dragon and Popcorn Boy. Same bat-time, same bat-channel.

[@Iron-Buddha]

KERPOW!!

[@Martina_320]

Love to hear all your thoughts and insights and Harry's bits of 'what might have happened. I appreciate very much that you take time to make also these action surges besides the normal episodes. Thank you for sharing this with us and wish you all a very lovely day.

[@NaturalSix]

Thank you so much!

[@raymondf3670]

This was so cool. I have enjoyed every episode to get to know the background of what they all was thinking so awesome.

[@JayMoyles]

I had my first ever D&D session last weekend after watching this series every week, and I had a blast. Decided to play a Rogue after being inspired by I’s disappearing act on the battlefield and his antics. Thanks for a great experience so far, loving the show!

[@DrStrange-6T0]

Rogue Life 4ever!

[@Myriad727]

One of the many things I love about Natural Six is that the world lore is a mystery (no guidebook, no plethora of knowledge readily available), so I enjoyed hearing player theories as I have a few of my own. I was in a campaign recently that was a homebrew world of the DM's and I'd rolled a knowledge domain cleric for it. It was a challenging choice, at times. 😋

[@sirephlyrrian6242]

i love how Alex has all those theories and speculations anout the lore, because i'm also so invested in "but what REALLY happened with the gods?"

[@valkyrie_wyvern]

I loved the Action Surge, it was really good and amazing! Also, with a touch of caramel!

[@AndyBarbieri]

Commenting for the algo, but also because I'm loving Natural Six Tuesdays! Enjoying these peeks behind the curtains in between the story episodes, which add a bit of depth and context to the creative process as well as adding the thoughts of the cast on the playthrough. Looking forward to next Tuesday already!!

[@thehawk8084]

natural six has been my first foray in D&D and I’m grateful for being shown how amazing it can be! Thanks gamers. ❤

[@NaturalSix]

It's out pleasure to welcome to the world of D&D, you'll never want to leave!

[@nanar_]

Action Surge is such a great pit stop between actual episodes. Looking forward to next Tuesday! 🥳

[@ElleSatterfield]

I love seeing everyone start to get more into the lore of a new world. It’s interesting to hear what their theories are and to see the look on the DMs face as they craft their theories. You never know if they are 100% on point or so far in the other direction and that makes it fun! I (the character, not the me) actively planning on building his own high chair is hilarious. I secretly want ‘I’ to end up with a bag of holding for nothing more than snack and high chair carrying. 😂 As always, wonderful episode and can’t wait to see where our chaos gremlins crew adventures take them next episode! ❤

[@Ghosh009]

As someone who’s never played D&D but has always admired it from afar, I am grateful to have such a masterclass in how to play from watching this show

[@ActorPete]

Great campaign, great chemistry. Loving it so far! You guys are ace!

[@darrenbrayshaw4094]

Loving this content so much. Long may it continue.

[@NaturalSix]

We certainly hope so! - Hollie

Action Surge! Let's Go!

Druid needs to remember wild shape!

[@esteban280889]

Harry talks about them not being able to derail, and I got to say its nice to see a group not trying to push the limits - as apposed to oxventure which are always trying to derail adventures.

[@ulfhazelcreek8108]

I really enjoy these discussions. Thank you!

[@Auridus]

I really love these videos! Obviously, the story is interesting and the characters are intriguing, but the talks here really feel like they heighten the experience.

[@mrgame1357]

Every Tuesday is the best day of the week with Natural Six!

[@Matt-cz6ti]

I’m really loving this series. Recently started DMing for the first time taking inspiration from Harry

[@richnewt]

Couple of weeks behind, but I hope the guys read this. Regarding maps and preparing minis in advance; not everything needs to be an elaborate 3D terrain with character specific minis to add something to the game. Don’t forget even the biggest names in dnd actual play started with grid paper and a pen.

[@shankbeezy]

I love a Natural Six Tuesday

[@tolkienfan7]

I love getting to hear all your insights and thoughts about the episode - me and my DnD group have these same kinds of conversations!

[@aggressiveloaf6900]

Watching it on a Friday, love the series and campaign so far.

[@causewhynot6485]

Holy Hannah love this show!

[@Ben_D.]

Would love to sit at a table with Alex and Ben. Great players.

[@gareth4009]

So I, the character not the me, is basically Alex Jordan but in D&D 😂

[@justincasebro1567]

I rolled 83, not even close to 160. Great stuff lads.

[@roswaldwalton1147]

For me, I find a lot of the way Raidion behaves reminds me of myself before I found out I was autistic. Not everything but his exploration of the world is very familiar.

[@wolfranger5526]

And now we return to story time with harry. In which harry tells a silly story.

[@herz5159]

Rolly Polly score so far: Hollie 2 Aeofie 1 Alex 1

[@MorinehtarTheBlue]

That coma thing implies to me something that isn't true in the rules. It's 1d4 hours after stabilization and that time can't be applied to long or short rests.

[@Philipbr]

Speaking of subclasses, do we know their subclasses?

[@ArchAngel_M81]

I don’t understand what the roll at end is for.

[@NaturalSix]

Fun. It's just for fun - Hollie

[@wolfranger5526]

​@@NaturalSix That's a bullet proof reason. One of the reasons I keep watching this campaign. Fun.

[@jazzyb9488]

Ok everyone what did you roll? I got 122 👀

[@Natwail]

Darn, only 106

70. There was a nat 20 in there but only 70...and I chipped a glass d4 in the process 😞

Fantastic content, lots to think about... looking forward to next Tuesdays episode already! 🥄💚 🍿
