One day we need 4 experienced DMs as players and Rowan being the DM, just like the skit. This is excellent. Pure charisma from everyone.

"The skeletal dragon does not respond to your gestures of friendship..." Players: why is there a this our first encounter? DM: because you all maxed Charisma and you need to remake your characters.

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

This was SO MUCH FUN! Will is an excellent DM and such a fun addition to this team! He fit into the dynamic so well and we were so pleased to get the chance to play with him!

[@Sirfinchyyy]

It's cool to see Rob on the other side of the screen from time to time. Also, with all of the game breaking combos Will thinks up, you guys are really lucky that he didn't bring any of that to this game😂.

[@Lark1610]

I want a drip straight to my veins of Will's energy. His attitude is infectious.

[@tommasoarnaldi5605]

[@sinafey7030]

ah yes, will perfectly matches the crazy of VLDL team xD

[@kdavidsmith1]

I think you're confused, @VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD, that is most certainly Hamish DMing and not "Will" whoever that is.

[@Dominus4776]

He dm's so much. It was to be nice to just sit down and focus on one character instead of the whole world

It's not just a Rob thing, when DMing You basically have to herd cats Just to keep everything on track

[@PhilosophyOnTheNightbus]

When I rewatched Ben saying that a 🍆 "is really small nubbin", I realised that Rob answered "Well..." and made a gesture as if he was opening his belt 😂 (32:23)

Ben’s so the George of VLDL. Amazing underrated mad skills. Except there’s no Ringo…I guess Adam and Alan are Paul and John (no particular order, fight amongst yourselves), and Rowan is Elvis…

[@caesarmedina8489]

I think Ben has found his calling. The necromancer class was made for him. Not only would he not have to worry about rolling ones, any ones he does sees will put a smile on his face. Either the enemy has failed on their saves vs him or his allies likely to die soon, and he can make minions out of them. It truly is a win-win for him.

Seeing Rob talking about the dice curse after having seen their abysmal DnD session they released yesterday is hilarious 🤣

[@ancapftw9113]

Does she have kids? It might be a literal mom move, which she learned from dealing with them.

[@NotTheAbhi]

She has been dealing with those chaotic bunch for a long time.

[@PhilosophyOnTheNightbus]

@@ordermind I felt a bit sorry for her during this episode... The boys (mostly Adam & Ben) were often fooling around, not listening to her and teasing her (often linked to the mediocre results of her inexperienced playstyle) and the DM did very little to calm them down a bit. Her saying "Can I speak now" is not passive aggression, it's a diplomatic way of saying "this is getting to much for me, shut up and show some respect". I know that the boys aren't doing that to be mean, they just sometimes get caught in a collective vibe of "we're-boys-bantering-on-the-schoolyard".

​@@PhilosophyOnTheNightbus personally, the boys fooling around is the best part of these DnD episodes.
