D&D Ryoko's Guide Ep 3 ft.

[@Vermouth_19]

I’m getting more and more convinced this is the best oneshot you ever released so far. Please have more guests as a DM so Rob can catch a break every now and then and being a silly goof on the table.

[@Just_a-guy]

The problem with this idea is New Zealand. I think it wont be that easy for others to go literally other side of the world for one shot.

[@Vermouth_19]

@@Just_a-guy there are good DMs who live in NZ and Australia. I'm not expecting them to fly people down there every time, that'd be unrealistic.

I feel like Ben is just playing the Death Knight but in plant form. 😆

[@ambidextrousarchery]

YES!!!

[@Lark1610]

Rob being angrily surprised how long it took Ben to understand the X Position is not Rob the player, is Rob the DM of NPC D&D, who had to deal with that for 4 years and counting.

[@marsrocks247]

Omg Rob is straight up dying inside laughing at Ben for not getting X gonna give it you like I spit out my drink wow that is funny.

Good thing Bodger wasn’t there to make the Wizard feel even worse. “Locket, locket, locket, locket…”

[@PhilosophyOnTheNightbus]

Thank you so much, especially for the lorquinesque extra jokes! I wish I didn't get the reference "elbow-deep in a corpse" tho. Imgur ruined me. Gotta rethink my life (anytime soon)

[@krypto7653]

Ben's undead voice acting is OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD!😂

[@bryanabbott6169]

I hope someday Will will be able to swing by again, for another one-shot (as a DM or a player).

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

We hope so too! Was awesome having him join!

[@jocosesonata]

Will Will be willing to do another one-shot? I hope so.

[@Crow-Fly]

Ogg was very brave to open up emotionally, especially to strangers, good job! Also he's very trusting of the crew, that's nice :)

Ben probably needs a lozenge after speaking as the plant for the day! 😅

[@atomiczam4066]

This whole time I just wanted Rob to mention something along the lines of, "Have you ever heard of the Red Harringbone Dragons? This Mort fellow reminds me of them for some reason."

[@Nurichiri]

Oh yeah, Mort is not suspicious at all. Either he will betray the group or he'll wind up being the biggest hero of the NPCs.

[@keyboardSmashed_]

Another brilliant episode! Ben finally getting the X Position joke made me lose it 😂

[@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD]

Slow boi Ben

[@gent_Carolina]

​@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD Hush you! *BEN has made the most memorable character in the group* . Envy is not a becoming look for those claiming to be friends. 🤨

[@lytsedraak]

@@gent_Carolina In the D&D campaigns it's not the first time I heard Ben say the words "I just got it". The submarine is another example and I think there were other times as well but I don't recall the exact examples. I don't think the jest was fueled by envy, but more by it not being the first time this happened.

[@Varrick111]

Rob's reaction to Ben. Just getting the exposition joke was so raw. I laughed my ass off. Perhaps this will truly show Rob the levels of breadcrumbs he needs as a DM.

[@Just_a-guy]

You mean beating them with bread so they see it? :D

[@Lark1610]

There is leaving the breadcrumbs and there is force-feeding the whole loaf of bread. With Epic NPC D&D Rob is running a 24-hour foie gras manufacture.

[@thomasbecker9676]

@@Lark1610 Ben wouldn't get the foie gras reference.

[@ronarion9646]

He heads right through the front door..... I really wanted Rob to say something like "Well you could've opened it first" in that voice.. it's perfect for it! 😂

[@MurMurYoutube_Astra]

12:02 Even when Rob isn’t a DM, he is a DM

[@Super_Ammo]

Once upon a time, all the people at the table knew how to play...

Topping from the bottom

[@jeroenimus7528]

Being a GM is like being in the Maffia. Once you're in you can never really stop, you know too much... 😂 That said, being a player at someone else's table provides valuable insights which only improve your game once you eventually end up back as a GM.

[@baseline2589]

Rob still the best DM DMing from DMing, while being DMed while holding on to his DMing, thus understanding DMing us, him DMing while being DMed.....well DMed Rob well DMed. Still and always the best DM ever!

I picture the turtle as having "meditated" because he fell on his back and nobody could get him up.

[@AlexanderosD]

"Leylines! The thing! He said the thing!" 😂 Astute DnD-ing!

[@Name.Random]

Had to pause the video a couple of times, needed some time to laugh 🤣 Ben has so much fun with his creepy character! Good choice for a oneshot, it would be very difficult to play such a character in a long run though

[@mastershake11711]

This guy is a fantastic DM. Its also been a lot of fun to watch Rob get to play with the group for once. Great series and cant wait to see whats next!!!

[@simplykarin]

X position reminds me of submarine.

[@basildestiny]

I love this short campaign. Waited all day for the upload! I was laughing like Rob when Ben made the X Position connection. I thought Ben was laughing with Adam because he got it. Still lovin' the devotion to these characters they've made. So fun! PS I like that Britt's handbag is featured in the outro.

These characters are great. I wish this was more than a one shot.

[@ralhamami]

Been watching on Viva+ but had to come here to say it. This ensemble is so great, man. Their characters are hilarious, and Will is so much fun. It's cool to see Rob in player form, and get all this great variety. Feel like we've been spoiled between this, the other one shots, the Misfits campaign, and the original of course. Love it.

Hi Rob & Viva 🕸🍁🧛‍♂ can you reveal to us whether this year's *Halloween Oneshot* will be on KZbin or only on Viva+? Cause now that the first leaves are falling I am slowly getting excited to watch it soon - and I don't want to get my hopes up in vain.

[@mrbaab5932]

It was 101 F an hour ago where I am at, lol.

[@lytsedraak]

Are they planning a Halloween Oneshot? I know one happened last year but I wasn't aware it would be a recurring thing. It would be great to have another spooky oneshot though, but preferably not with Bored this time. I'd love a Halloween oneshot with their Darkwood counterparts.

[@PhilosophyOnTheNightbus]

@@lytsedraak I loosely remember Rob saying he'd be willing to create a halloween campaign if Viva booked him, but I'm not 100% sure. I had hoped that my first post would get enough upvotes to attract the attention of the Viva guys and get us an answer. But maybe the Viva+ subscribers or those who follow them on social media know more about it already? Yeah, it would be awesome to have a halloween campaign take place in a new setting. Now I feel a little greedy cause we already have the awesome Ryoko oneshot. Do we know how many episodes it will have? Maybe it will be over just before halloween, so that there is a little hope left?
