OH... I'm laughing so hard,....Kelly: ".......Mild Death" , Joe: "pffffft...standard warning labels, pay them no heed..." adlib hilarity at it's best

[@Maninawig]

Wrath: Hey guys, I am so much of a better negotiator than my sister... that 100GP potion you wanted, I got it for 99gp and 10sp!

[@SmokeSolo1975]

Sebastian Crowe riding a Unicorn has now been surpassed by Wilheim taking control of a Wyvren.

[@willeyeam1241]

I don’t think anything could surpass that.

[@gabebaum6527]

Watch Kelly's next character take control of a full dragon

[@RicardoMoralesMassin]

Excuse me, what about Sebastian and Veo riding a giant mechanical dragon next to Pluto flying down on a gargantuan Minotaur?

[@theomegapotato370]

I just caught up with Shadows of Drakkenheim today and this pops into my recommended.

[@CMVray]

Same here

[@galdramann2478]

I watched this series first and just recently caught up with Dungeons of Drakkenheim. So good to get more episodes!

[@nathanbartlett2770]

Make sure you watch the untold tales of drackkenheim aswell there really good

[@firelordsinger9666]

Buuut dont you wanna rewatch mid way???

[@jeffs3706]

As much as I've loved the Untold Tales, this is like getting to see old friends again. Glad you're back!

[@MarcoMontaltoMonella]

Best D&D live campaign online. Period! ❤️

[@EriolDiethel]

It's wonderful to see all the team together! Every chapter it's unique and the epic Wilhelm's entrance is absolutely memorable. Thanks for your amazing work and welcome back Jill, we miss you but I'm sure your baby will be an adventurer with a super mum like you :)

[@euansmith3699]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-hoooooooooooooooooooooo! Kelly, "It feels like months ago now..." :D Also, Kelly is the only one who can pronounce "Wyvern".

[@scruffyscruff]

Just found out that we literally play D&D at the same time you guys do! In the other side of the planet...

[@EMTwombly]

Welcome back, you have been missed! Jill, you look absolutely radiant!

[@euchiron]

Aqua Expurgo makes me think of the immortality serum from Death Becomes Her. "NOW a warning!?"

[@theorycrafters7281]

Never thought I'd say this, but it's so nice to go back into the shadows. So ready to start backing your kickstarter, ive gotten so many amazing ideas for my own world from watching you guys.

[@alexanderbglass]

Glad you’re back! Knowing people with little humans to level up, didn’t think I’d see this group together for a year. Sounds like there is a very good partner in the mix.

[@jakeholmes9296]

My warlock has repelling blast and I love it so much. Being able to move creatures 10ft with no save is so much fun, and can be so clutch in lots of situations

[@couryrussell7653]

I would loveeeeee to see the wyvern come back up later and become Wilhelm’s trusted steed later within this campaign!! That would be soooooo dope!!

[@aaronmudd5064]

I picture the gang just taking the boat overland with Rudi rapidly rowing it through the soil like a cartoon character.

[@darktrent182]

I was cracking up when River was talking about the former Archmage of Drakkenheim. I'm kind of amazed that Kelly didn't react to that.

[@walth5409]

Bruce being an Eldritch Kitten playing games with Tasha is the headcannon I need

[@Patrick-ng5js]

I’m recovering from surgery and was very glad to see this!

Used Jill's maternity leave to watch Dungeons of Drakkenheim, still 12 episodes to go though 😅. And all the side ones 🙈 Thanks for all the fun times! Welcome back Jill! 🎊

[@abracadabruh7420]

Lucky you, I don't know what I'd pay to watch 'em blind again...

[@alexinfinite7142]

I get to drive a lot for work. So I was able to binge the HECK out of the series 🙃

[@hasalmenot1011]

Thank you so much for following up on KZbin, livestreaming is nearly impossible for us. We really enjoy the Drakkenheim campaigns, the settings and player interaction is just great. My thanks to Jill who inspired my spouse to try D&D for the first time. As a rogue she had great fun, but it's little bit frightening on how much she enjoyed sneak attacking.

[@mikecarson7769]

Welcome back! Fun and educational to see how you managed the transition back into Episode 22 - - and admirable how you adjusted the delirium contamination system - excited to see the next episodes!

[@thewarpandrealms9889]

I like to think Monty only said studded leather armor due to the glamor 😆

[@chrisanderson2368]

Ahh, so good. Real nice way to bring it back to the og crew.

[@kparish05]

Waaaahooo! ... also, I really had not realized how much I missed this campaign and crew.

[@lesio80]

I'm so glad you're back to your "regular programming". This show is always a great inspiration for me. Congrats to Jill and her young one

[@TheCubetree]

I just saw this pop up and was like "Waaaait?! Wasn't it supposed to be like only a few weeks break?" :D Well, in the meantime I started with Dungeons of Drakkenheim and am now at Episode 25. Thought I could manage to catch up, but did not have enough time unfortunately. But I am glad that I picked up this campaign from all of those available on KZbin. You are an amazing group!

[@psoren423]

Yay. New episode. Congrats on the new “level 1 human”.

[@GaryBoyles342]

Oh man, that intro always gives me goosebumps.

[@JABO95SA]

It is a grand day indeed.

[@bluebird3281]

Will Wilhelm's one hundred rules to live by be in the Drakkenheim campaign book ?

[@alexinfinite7142]

Please please please please 🙏!

[@DungeonDudes]

Probably not, but I do plan to reveal all 100 once we conclude the campaign.

[@mattfitzgerald7836]

@@DungeonDudes Rule Number 100 - Always leave an opening for a sequel ?

[@WaLLy_]

I posted the list as a comment. So far we have no missed anything that has been said.

[@KnicKnac]

@@DungeonDudes Could they be flavor notes in the book?

[@isaackarr6576]

The trade pouch is a small bag you can make a deal with a strong mage for an item out of your price range. When the bag fills to the agreed upon price it switches with that item. If the item is sold out from under you you gain access to your new treasure purce. If you die the purse goes the the government and is taxes. Putting a hold on an item usually costs + 20% up front.

[@eran5005]

YEEEESSSSS FINNAALLLLYYYY Huge congrats to Jill for the new PC added to your party, but i am still real happy to see y’all back to the big campaign!

[@nielsvanoosten]

Spoiler!!! Wilhelm flying into battle on a wyvern might be one of the coolest things I've ever seen in dnd

[@legendarydigitize2523]

Gah hopefully he is allowed to keep it too

[@cdwarrior6582]

I mean dnd by it’s very nature always allows situations to one up any conceivable experience. That’s one of the reasons why I love dnd

[@Politizer]

Hats off to Kelly for making even a boring ability score increase be interesting and have roleplaying meaning.

[@jakstocks2452]

I'm so glad you guys are back. Congrats on the new level 1 party member! You guys always give me new ideas for d&d characters to try out. So thank you guys for the wonderful inspiration and entertainment! 🖤

[@captainthorrek262]

It's times like these that I feel bad for Monty and Kelly; how do you top Wilhelm jumping on a wyvern and riding it in midair

[@Axiom_Link]

So glad to have you back Jill!!! I hope the baby life is great and you crush the mom levels! I have been waiting SO SO LONG For this episode to come out!!! 😍

[@nielsvanoosten]

I started listening to drakkenheim at work during our second lockdown last december. Im so glad im all caught up now and can enjoy these shows when they come out.

[@Brannen666]

Whaaaaat you're back!? Sweet been missing listening to you guys in podcast form.

They each get three potions, and it sounds like they are ordering at a drive through!! Funny.

[@gabrielfacundini3610]

You guys don't know how excited I am to have you all back in the Shadows of Drakkenheim. Watching you guys play and just in general have a good time has not only inspired me and my friends in our D&D games, but has been a great way to endure these trying times.

[@Wurgy42]

Nice to see you back into the swing with the core again! Normally play on Tuesdays but have had a hiatus and was able to catch many of the Untold's on Twitch and of course we started back up on the 13th..heh. I can live with not live but end up staying up way to late watching you guys after we finish. :) Good to see you back and cannot wait for the adventure to unfold.

Nice to see you got the band back together. 😁

[@cattrucker8257]

Happy to see the team fully back. This is honestly your best crew setup, you guys and gal. The way the "lighthouse" is presented made me remember the Highborne ruins in WoW, they looked very similar - in a cool way. And the way Monty looked when Joe suggested flying in was fun to watch - not sure if he was caught somewhat off guard regarding his encounter plans or if he put on an act to better confuse the team, but those faces were gold at 1:29:30 onwards. Looking forward to the crowdfund campaign - I haven't crowdfunded anything in years, but your work so far may be enough to convince me, 'cause I want that setting book.

[@ledhyper4282]

Attach to a die roll for your turn to simulate slick terrain.1 You continue moving on other players turns against your own will but still provoke reactions. 2 You fall prone at the beginning of your movement. 3 You fall prone at the end of your movement 4 You fall prone from marshal damage. 5 You fall prone from magical damage 6 You are immune to the prone condition this round and attempts to knock you prone backfire.

1st... Fantastic 👏... 👏 👏... It's so very good to have you guys back! 4:35. Game Starts Spoiler..... Ohhh my they got a Wyvern. Please let them keep it. The old group would respect them more if they flew into the City on a Wyvern 😜😜

[@b.calvinsaul1909]

This happens to me a lot: I'm typing up notes for a D&D game I'll be running in about 17 hours, and what appears in my feed? The Dungeon Dudes release a three hour D&D session. So, they are trying hard to insert their creations into my head while I'm dreaming up a twist to one of my three concurrent plot lines or an encounter. More than once, I have uttered, "Yoink! I'm having that!", and stolen some idea, at least in part.

[@dastanghaedrahmati6977]

I hope Wilhelm tames the wyvern and it becomes his default mount.

[@cactoidjim1477]

I had to search for, "How long do finger and toenails take to grow back?" "The wound should heal within a few weeks. If completely removed, fingernails may take 6 months to grow back. Toenails may take 12 to 18 months to grow back. Injured nails may look different when they grow back." The teeth are actually easier to replace...

I think the purge contamination former being a divine spell was far more interesting. Need to look at getting the book, but just from the game looks like clerics and druids get a bit shafted. Healing potions everywhere and arcane methods of removing status ailments
