Action Surge Episode 8 | Natural Six D&D Post Show

While the team might have a fireside moment to rest (and a chance to level up), there's still plenty to talk about in this episode for Action Surge. From discussing our new abilities, we delve into the importance of battle tactics, the pressures of decision-making in the heat of the moment, and how Harry has to adapt to our ever-evolving (or lack thereof) strategies.
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.

Level 5 baby! I love this show so much. Knowing and loving everyone for their own individual projects and having them all in one place is something I didn’t know I needed. The flow of each episode makes everything easy to digest (I’ve found it difficult to watch other D&D shows in one sitting but can easily sit and watch an episode of this without issue). Harry is an amazing DM and the rest of the cast are amazing players and you cannot tell that there are first time players in the cast. And Action Surge is such a great addition to the main game. Being able to hear how each player and Harry think through moves in the moment and as characters is such a benefit to understanding motives in the main game as well as being gifted with ‘what if’s’. I, the me not the character, love how there’s not a single moment/character I do not like. I can’t ever imagine getting bored with this show. I can’t wait to see where things go ❤

This means so much to us! Thank you

[@Martina_320]

Love the action surges as much as the episodes. And all the other content on patreon. I hope we will keep you going for a very long time, because my life would be so much more boring without Natural Six. Thank you for all your work and wish you all a very lovely day.

Also liked seeing the miniatures this time around. It makes it easier for me to visualize who is where doing what during the battle and what the options are for I to disengage/hide (I - the character, not myself). Of course the fact that the scene was crafted gorgeously was a plus! Looking forward to next session.

Level 5 hype!

[@stacieransom5677]

Loving the show, so far. Hoping to see more monster combat at some point but I enjoy the creativity and clever actions these players come up with in the moment.

[@martin2998]

Action surge is a fantastic idea. I love hearing how everyone felt and what they were thinking at certain times. Thank you for the amazingly entertaining content. Sorry my pockets aren't deep enough at the minute to be a Patron

There are some awesome spells at level 3. As someone who played a Druid until level 11, I got the most use out of Conjure Animals, Call Lightning, and Dispel Magic. Wind Wall is pretty fun too.

I'm a bit behind with watching AS, but I just watched this. I love Action Surge! It's so interesting to hear everyone's thoughts about what happened in the episode. Love that there's the weekly change between Story episode and AS. The minis can't be praised enough. Marks painting job is fantastic 👏🏼 The whole scene looked amazing. Can't wait to see more mini action in the future.

I am discovering how much fun it is to watch these folks develop as players, as the characters simultaneously develop in the game. At the first ep, I was thinking Alex would obviously be great fun to play with. Looks like such a fun dude from the first moment. After severl sessions, I honestly think Hollie would be the most fun at a table for me and my play style. Would happily play all day with her. All around super cool group. Not to mention other channels, but I have seen other online games where I didn't feel the same sort of 'want to be at the table'.

[@MegaMad11]

This show is so brilliant.

[@NewAge374]

I had a feeling level 5 was going to come up, definitely after a fight this big! Loved seeing some new actions and spells still, like Dolly's multiple knife stab and Kelnyss's summon beast. But I still have some questions about what every character's full arsenal is, even don't know their subclass of some. Is this part of spoiler territory? Raidion - School of Illusion Wizard Kelnyss - Circle of Wildfire Druid; I wonder if Fizban's extra Dragonborn racial abilities are implemented for a Gold(?) one I - Arcane Trickster Kobold Dolly - College of Eloquence Bard is my best bet Endellion - can't figure out what kind of Fighter she is

[@emmagardener]

That roly poly was WILD! 😂 great episode, cant wait to hear the conversation at breakfast in ep 9 after that fight- oof!!

[@grantsvoiceongames1992]

AHHHHH! A Wild Action Surge appeared!

[@justinhill8170]

I would love harry to do something on how he prepares for a session. Like his particular style of preparation

[@sirephlyrrian6242]

oh no, Ben has access to fireball D:

[@Ben_D.]

heh heh.. ya.. gonna be drama.

[@tamaraklein1208]

DnD babaaayy!!!

[@daeronsingollo4131]

Let's goooo! Action suuuurggeeeeee

[@CraftedCampaigns]

Funny you should mention a Tarrasque... 🤐😬

[@NaturalSix]

👀👀

[@esteban280889]

glad they finally level up. then need some health points badly.

[@JonahLoeb]

Well now you kinda *have* to fight the Tarrasque at some point.

[@deadstroke82]

Death saving throws should be unknown to everyone but GM and player? No one knows after first saving throw how close to death character is. Maybe unless another player is at their side, then 3 knows the roll? Im omly at the first ep, where the npc went down

[@NewAge374]

I believe it's a house rule for extra tension, they might have mentioned it in an Action Surge episode. Definitely works

[@howllol7101]

shalele

[@SirPigglezWorth]

If the cards are not a Deck of Many Things then I have no fucking clue what they do other than 1d6 physic damage

[@Playradise]

I'm currently level 12 in Vecna Eve of Ruin lol
