I ANIMATED My D&D Campaign | MISTWIND Ep. 1

[@ayeoops]

thank you all so much for the massive support on episode 1 of MISTWIND! i was so scared that no one would watch it. in the future i think i'll re-open my patreon for those of you who want to help keep me afloat as i work on more episodes, but for now- thank you so much for watching

[@carlanaranja]

Loved it!!! I can’t wait for the next episode

[@pyeitme508]

WOW!

[@yuliatulsa]

it's so coooool

[@vistams2990]

this is actually a really fun idea! I didn't even think about the fact I could play dnd BY MYSELF?!

[@EKLyons]

Same! I feel like that kinda defeats the purpose of our being a ttrpg… BUT idk

[@Yorue_Art]

Me either! I've never played before, but this video makes me want to start my own playthrough!

[@HettycTracyn]

Literally just a book, but with extra steps

[@kitsune_heart]

There are also ttrpgs for 2 player games between a Gm and player if you're looking for a smaller experience or don't have a bigger group.

[@EKLyons]

@ Thanks for sharing this information. Mind telling me any examples of those ttrpgs?

[@joddlyn4342]

16:20 this is Charles. Charles likes his personal space. Eleonor also likes Charle's personal space.

[@thediaryofafallenstar]

ughhhh i love this dynamic!!! and charles, despite the chaos, will always love and care for eleonor (platonically or romantically, whichever it is) 🥹🤍

[@matthewmelendez7051]

“Characters are only as smart as I am.” AMAZING line. Coming from someone who is dealing with a -1 in INT IRL but loves to play smart characters. I feel that

[@Alextruong0912]

Gosh, I feel that too.

[@goldenspiral6008]

I also relate, but in my case that stat would be charisma. My favourite classes are bard and sorcerer, so I tend to play with charisma based characters, but that's my lowest stat irl.

[@kunzine]

STOP WAIT THIS IS SO INTERESTING I NEED THE NEXT EP ASAPPPP

[@lynweiss3837]

9:51 The way you talked about Eleanore wanting to go to a gentlemen’s club and previously talking about how you don’t really want her and Charles to become romantically involved, im just over here like praying for the gay

[@tiaxnoir]

The amount of hardwork you put into this was incredible. I really enjoyed this!

[@ayeoops]

im glad !

[@Ria.M_draws]

oh my god! knowing that the story direction is based on rolls makes it even more exciting! 😭😭😭😭

[@-ari-25]

32:16 WHATTTTT. this is actually so addictive 😭 I don’t know much about d&d or you channel, BUT THIS HAS ME INVESTED. And I just want to compliment your art real quick because MY LORD, your art style is so juicy, that’s honestly the best word to describe it lol. But seriously, you are incredibly talented and I hope you know that. God bless you and Jesus loves you.❤️🙏🏼

[@BrenGamerYT]

This is such a delightful project, I can tell how much effort had to go into it! The pitch of "yassified Jane Austin with elves and tieflings" makes me smile.

[@draw-budmarkio2675]

Solo RPG gamers rejoice!!!! Also, sounds like a great concept! (Along with your art and all, fingers crossed that it becomes more popular!!!)

[@Cocoakalypso]

I'm so invested. Also loving Charles for not fully understanding the situation but still asking "what do you need me to do."

[@situngkirnathan]

Picking a spellcaster class in a settin with no magic (yet) is wild. I love it.

[@HonkLoser]

Nobility typically do documents related to their businesses or things relating to management of their land or servants. Seeing as Charles has next to none of that, I could see why he would want to keep busy.

[@ayeoops]

can you elaborate? bc i definitely need to do more research but sometimes it's hard to figure out which specific things to look up

[@jojoslameerrand9305]

​​​​ you mentioned bridgerton in the video so to use that as an example, Anthony's "job" as viscount is managing the lands they own, collecting rent and taxes from farmers then investing that into businesses. We dont see this aspct but from the Charlotte series we can see some of their land. The Bridgertons are "middle" nobles title-wise but they're implied to have the most money so Anthony would be a shareholder/have equity in multiple businesses as representative of the family. The Featheringtons are new money and AFAIK don't have land which is why they were constantly having financial problems, exacerbated by how the marriage market works. Their storylines are the best example of the business side of noble "work" TLDR they were landlords doing landlord things.

[@ayeoops]

yeah i guess i was confused by the comment of charles having "next to none of that" 😅 i didnt really talk about it, but he does own plenty of land in the countryside and has to manage it. but i guess in the video it didnt seem like it? the fault of a less than perfect script 🤡 he would be taking on the responsibilities of being a landlord, but his dad didn't because he hired a bunch of help to do it for him. (once again i have to research who exactly would have been hired to do this for a lord) i do have the book, "what jane austen ate and charles dickens knew" that i have to read through. hopefully they have a chapter for noble responsibilities

[@CosmicNova266]

“Rolling dice and doing bad accents” literally all my campaigns in one sentence, with the addition of bad jokes and insulting my characters height. All. The. Time. My gnome has become the base of ALL jokes

[@nevisnebis1207]

The editing in this video was so funny and also really good??? Not to mention I love Eleanor and Charles and the story as a whole, so well worth the wait 🫶🫶🫶 certified banger, worthy of being your most popular video and I hope it gets there

[@francislino]

THIS SHOULD TOTALLY BE A SERIES!!! ITS SO GOOD, IM SO INVESTED. I really see it in like an arcane style, and the setting is so good, the characters too, it has so much potential!

[@belinda1234-b8c]

You left me on a cliff hanger, I swear I was invested to the lore until you said this is the end of the video but anyways this was incredible work, the character designing and everything is just wow, the story boarding and the amount of detail you put to some of the animation is just incredible dude wow someone give her an Oscar I really hope your passion project goes well thanks for reading ayeoops❤

[@ayeoops]

tysm 🥹

[@tamarlevy5949]

i'm not that interested in dnd but when i saw the thumbnail & title i had to click because it sounded like such a big project and i was so impressed! the amount of hard work you must've put in for this video is astounding and your art is gorgeous. i really enjoyed this video! i hope it gets a lot of love

[@goldenhour97]

Omg, as an art student and a lover of roleplay games like D&D, I LOVED THIS! Please, I need more of this story and your narrative, and the beautiful drawings, AND The silly faces!

[@lordofgraphite]

13:00 When playing solo, do you still shout "I have darkvision!" To yourself, when entering dark places ? 😂❤ loving this btw

[@sashthesloth]

Oh this was so cool I'm not gonna lie, I had genuine chills when you had the doctor cast cure wounds. What an excellent scene and set up. I'm so excited to see where this goes!

[@SweetSummons]

That Matt Mercer hairflip tho ✨✨✨

[@SelmaRilliart]

It’s like I just watched the first episode of a cool series. This is a very interesting story and I want to know what happens next. And I also want to say that you are my favorite artist and I love watching and reviewing all your videos, they motivate me to draw more and that’s great. I would like to wish you success in your project and in the development of the channel)))❤

[@ayeoops]

glad u liked it! goodluck on your art journey :D

[@six.studios]

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW YOU COULD DO SOLO DND.... I HAVE TOO MUCH ANXIETY TO PLAY IN GROUPS.... AAAAAAAAA anyways im invested

[@GregGinger]

Fredrick is the conspiracy theorist who is right . I love him already

[@bodyartatlarge]

*Smashes the follow button so hard I almost drop my phone* I mean…I’m starting my animation journey, and if you ever want to make games together I’m here; and lots of others are that would be STOKED to play D&D with you. I get anxiety, and I’m the same way; but I was really lucky to find my D&D group who understands chronic pain and illnesses. Just because you have an idea doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. That’s what experience is; a collection of failed ideas until it slowly starts shaping into more. In your case, you’re already there dude. 😭 You took the plunge faster than most any DM would. You came up with an idea, you went with it, you made characters, you came up with names, you have the artwork, and that’s something special. Even if it’s just D&D for you. You did so well just because and I’m like 👀 I could NEVER 😭

[@feyral_]

I dont usually enjoy DND things but I absolutely love roleplay and storytelling. The universe you have come up with as well as the characters have totally drawn me in and I cannot wait for the next episode. Thank you for sharing this passion with us!

[@sskeletonhell]

oh my god I have a short as hell attention span but I was literally glued to my screen during this. I am absolutely IN LOVE with your characters and am sooo so excited to see how this story develops!

[@cassiemota3376]

As a forever DM that just found and started my own solo D&D campaign....I LOVE THIS!!!! The concept of Mistwind as this area where magic is taboo is so fun! Can't wait to see more :)

[@PreposterousArts]

2:09 MATTHEW MERCER MENTIONED 🤩

[@blorp2031]

This is like when people play chess by themselves but with more elves and gay people /j

[@redfox2339]

I have a dnd campaign and it's me and one of my friends (I'm scared incase i get judged and scared to join a party) it's so chill and I love how much we both have of the story, i would love to be a player in the future again but for now I'm being a chicken, your art and story is so pretty!! ❤

[@heyimsabs]

i almost cried when it was left on a cliffhanger and saw that it was only posted *one day* ago😭😭 I cant wait for the next episode!!!💕

[@EnpiYT]

god it's only been 2 videos and im already SO INVESTED!! I NEED MORE!! love the art, love the characters, and love the setup of the story so far!! when i realized charles went on a walk, eleanor begged for help on the streets, i knew he was gonna appear and i was so hyped, that's my GOAT!!

[@marshmallow81723]

i know soooo little about dnd but im SOOOO INVESTED !!!!!! i love the idea of lenore being like "come on hun we've got another ball" and frederick is like "But babe the Voices...."

[@lordofgraphite]

This is so gooooood, especially love the relatable notes "I couldn't be bothered drawing this" hahahahaba ❤

[@chwlips]

OH my gosh I SO need to draw fanart of these two🤭I love their dynamic sm. Also, YOU ARE SO TALENTED!!

[@Zosalot]

Oh my gosh. So you inspired me to play solo D&D because my friend's schedules are all over the place, but I want to see my characters and explore my world and stuff! You introduced the concept of solo dnd to me way back and I actually started animating my D&D world too and then this comes out you are such an inspiration and I'm busy atm but I cannot WAIT to watch this and shoutout you when I make my own agh the creative flow is so exciting I'm so pumped! Your art style is awesome and detailed and I love the story and characters. What sweeties!

[@coffeniffler4]

yas, it is so hard to find free time for everyone. Especially on studies XD

[@Mr.Mustach]

This is amazing, the story is already great so far, and the nice touch of uniqueness of making it that magic is myth is just wonderful. I hope to see many more great stories from the world of Mistwind!!!! P.S this makes me absolutely motivated to work on more of my campaign for my players, so thank you 3000!!!!

[@egguu2644]

STOOOP THIS IS SO GOOD!! Don’t worry about taking too long on making more episodes take care of yourself and take your time :))

OH MY GYATT I CLICKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW IT 😭😭😭 i've watched ur old dnd character designing lives before and thats kinda what got me into the whole concept at first so SEEING THIS NOW IS SO AMAZING IM SO HAPPY 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@SPEEDRAYCERE]

This is such a fun idea and your art is rly amazing. Fantastic vid

[@AltPlay]

I'm invested. I love just how much of Eleanor's family's backstory has created this world for her. Can't wait to see more.

[@GeraldMountaindew]

The character portraits are beautiful and the style of the video reminds me a lot of dingo doodles' fools gold campaign series. I'm excited to see where this goes. It's also neat to see how someone else's solo campaign plays out. The fact that magic is new to this world means it gets to develop with the characters which I'm eagerly awaiting

[@angiewan105]

A new thing to maladaptive daydream about!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I really hope u update soon I wanna binge 😭

[@dovelyn1519]

WAITTTT THIS IS SO COOL IM SO INVESTEDDDD!! IM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE THIS IS SO WELL DONE!!!!

[@angelsofu69]

YES more eleanor lore !!! This was such a fun story and video :D I need episode 2 omggg I also really appreciate the visuals you drew to make it seem more clear of what was going on, if that makes sense lmao--now i'm hyped to do my own dnd campaign ✨ can't wait to find out more soon

[@ines7375]

pls pls pls i'm so invested on those two characters rn

[@skynixart]

absolutely phenomenal video! All the work you put into it definitely paid off! can't wait for part 2!!! ✨

I love your character designs, I can tell how much you care about and how much work you've put into this dnd world! THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING!! Can't wait to see what happens next episode!! ❤:)

[@birthdaybash690]

the little doodles of brennan and matt are so cute HAHAHAHAH

[@ScritRighter]

I actually play solo DnD from time to time when I am planning out an adventure for players that I DM. Especially when it is an official module I want to run/ rewrite. Experiencing it as a player first and then discovering what encounters kinda suck and what types of loot are lame is really fun. What surprises me most about running solo DnD is how a story and cool roleplay moments just 'appear' whenever I run the game honestly. That means not pulling punches when the players characters get low, or retconning an event that happened (even if it was super unlucky). Either way, I get a very good grasp on all of the NPC characters as well as how certain combat encounters or other things are meant to be run. Makes it a much better and more prepared experience for my players. My preferred way of playing DnD modules is to make a single player character and allow certain NPCs to be convinced to assist them as sidekicks. I'm very combat and challenge oriented when I play, and running through with an underpowered party leads to some tense and incredible moments. There have been times when I thought it was over until the bad guys just happened to roll poorly on the final hits and give the good guys a chance to clutch. The only downside is that it's kinda hard to talk about these adventures with other people since it's not really a 'shared' experience.

[@ayeoops]

yea it's tough too since there's a certain stigma around solo play already in the community and people get turned away when you mention it. there's a niche on youtube that rose up in the past couple years of people recapping the plot of a book or tv show with a chart of characters on their wall. i actually did it myself and found success with that on another channel. so i thought, if people are willing to listen to me recap a couple books for 3 hours (yes my vid was 3 hours long 😭) then they might be down to listen to me recap my solo campaign. some people blog theirs or do an actual play like trevor devall but i dont really journal everything in narrative form or do amazing improv like devall, so this is what works for me!

[@ScritRighter]

@@ayeoops Yeah, in a way I see playing solo DnD as a way to write a story which you do not have full control of as the author. It's a good exercise which can teach you how to kill your darlings and adapt your storytelling beyond the things you initially had in mind. Writing a good conflict which feels like it puts the characters in danger is often pretty difficult, but solo DnD kinda introduces that with the d20. Just the other day, I had my cast of characters nearly TPK in an ambush from one of the warlords of Avernus. Very dramatic moment which ended up in the death of one of those characters and shook the resolve of another. Now the main character needs to pick up the pieces and push forward. He's helped another character overcome death prior in the story, and he'll do it again.

[@ayeoops]

that sounds awesome (not for your character tho 😭) it's giving when people love to break their oc's heart and give them tragic stories

[@gabrieldaily3969]

It's one of the best videos i ever watched. I hope you continue doing this kind of videos. I LOVE EVERY DETAIL OF THIS CONTENT

[@GrimGoblinLives]

I'm enjoying the concept and rooting for the main characters already :)

[@Bugbear_Library]

Amazing way to tell the story, and difference in art/sketches shows that everyone is human and You dont need to ''polish'' everything to perfection to tell the story, a quick sketch is more than enough. Cant wait for next part

[@Harper_333]

YESS FINALLY!!! this turned out so good!

[@cabbagecollector618]

OMG THE MEN 😩😩❤ YOU DRAW THEM SO SCRUMPTIOUS 👹🫣

[@so.mewhatchaoticsquid-god212]

Solo DnD works so well as a KZbin format! It's very nice listening to you narrating what happens and animating it. Plus your drawings are incredibly beautiful!

Eeee eeeeee~I loved this so much. It's cute..Everything is cute for me ✨️😭✨️

[@dedarkbison9209]

This is so awesome Wish I could do this. Love the characters and the world hooked for the whole campaign

[@froggo5190]

OH MY GOODNESS!! I love this so much! Your art is so good! And I really like how the story so far. It has a promising future ;), the world you shared with just a 33-minute video is a great setup for a great story :).

[@herdagur6256]

i love d&d and i love your art style so this is a match made in heaven for me 💞 no pressure, but i can’t wait to hear more!!

[@Boomzie23]

I LOVED listening to your Solo DND. I’m invested and can’t wait for the next 😊

[@hiroibwah]

I like how most artists have this kind of art style

[@CamelRoach]

This is so real, mostly cause 1. I do this too. 2. Me and my friends don't have our timezones or free time aligned. And 3. It's literally just writing a story but dices makes some choices to you, which is an easy escape for a fun story or just for people that have a hard time making choices.

[@kavlan453]

This is so fun! It's such a great setting spinning together elements of other well-known settings and the characters feel like the perfect people to be exploring it, I'm excited to see where it goes! (Also don't mind me literally studying the way you draw people because I love your art style and want to get better at drawing people myself)

[@chimeranick]

Whoa! Great storytelling, and solid spot for a cliffhanger. I'm left with a feeling of wanting to know more, like at a the end of a chapter of a book. I'm looking forward to the next part of the story :D

[@Theseus7445]

Ngl the moment you mentioned Percy i was fully immersed in the vid

[@allisarcadia]

I can't wait for the next episode! I know how much work goes into illustrating and animating this all as well so thank you so much for sharing your passion and skills with us. I feel truly grateful. ♥

[@archerofthewood8533]

This is such a cool concept omg, I want more of this storyline, it's just writing/storytelling with dice and other fun stuff, it's so cool! This is a similar concept to what I'm doing in my campaign right now with the whole, there's a bunch of other stuff going on that no one really knows about it and the party is finding out about it, so this is really really cool to see!! I'm gonna watch this all the time while I write, it's a really cool story so far and it's just the right amount of information that I can focus on it while also doing something else, which is awesome!! Also all of the drawings and animation is so impressive!!!

[@itzelwisteria1819]
