[@setarcos42]

​@@truehath Yeah it is a pretty harsh spoiler

[@aldoesagood5316]

Guys, having watched all the episodes up to this point, I can confidently say that this is one of my favorite d&d shows, but not for the reason you might think. Let me explain. If anyone reading this is interested in getting into d&d or knows anyone who’s interested, please don’t point them to one of the mainstream series. Send them to a series like this first. This series is representative of what a d&d game should be. It’s one thing for a series to have flashy intros, slick layouts, and movie-quality production, but at the end of the day, that isn’t really what d&d’s about. It’s about a group of everyday people getting together, playing their own way, and having fun throughout the entire experience. Too many people who have seen only mainstream d&d shows get upset or frustrated that their own experiences aren’t like that of the mainstream shows or they feel like their sessions aren’t up to the standards mainstream shows set. I think the Dungeon Dudes and their friends laugh together and seem to enjoy themselves overall more than any other show I’ve seen or listened to, and it’s because they’re really just playing for themselves, not trying to put on a show. The fact we’re watching them and also having fun is just icing on the cake. Hope this post made sense and someone gains something from my little spiel. And lastly, thank you, Dungeon Dudes, for your continued efforts and for bringing enjoyment to us all!

[@devin5201]

Yeah I saw a video on this same topic but with specifically Critical Role as the central focus cuz while the show is indeed an spectacle of talent and rp well not everyone is a professional voice actor able to seamlessly transform into the character.

[@robpaul7544]

I agree. And would like to promote Miniwargaming who also have some great rpg shows. Their campaigns are shorter and easy to get in to. Their second season of D&D Heroes of Harinburg is running now.

[@Raastoff]

AlDoesAGood. Spot on! I totalt agree. This is like real roleplaying dnd!

[@SoyDrinker]

@@devin5201 I can understand the idea that most home games won't play out the same way Critical Role does but it's pretty dishonest and flat out wrong to act like Critical Role is a big production where the players aren't enjoying themselves and are just putting on a show. Critical Role first and foremost is a game between very close friends who are having an incredible time and are emulating their personal home game.

[@devin5201]

@@SoyDrinker That's very true, I apologize if I worded it in such a way, my message is supposed to be that the way Matt Mercer and the rest of the CR group play is fundamentally different than the way most other dnd groups would play because as actors their idea of how to enjoy the game leans more toward heavy RP and character development.

I am brand new to DnD and watched some of your videos to study up before my second session. I watched this video just to see a few real world situations to learn from, and ended up watching the whole thing! My wife even sat down next to me anf got sucked in too. Pretty soon she was holding my phone so we could both see it. You guys did a great job on this. Even non-DnD folks enjoyed it :)

Rewatching this, three years laters, and few hours before I'm starting my Very own Drakkenheim campaign, I can't help but feel emotional. it's amazing how much was already there at the first moments (Sebastian incidents, Veo's hunger), and even more amazing how much the setting and the players have evolved. Thank you very much for this amazing series, I hope you're all doing well, and I can't await for the return of 3rd Season!

[@imaalias2162]

I'm rewatching the series. Everyone is great, but I can't get enough of Joe. He's straight up hilarious.

[@sparks3705]

I realize I'm very late to the party, but just wanted to chime in and say I'm so glad I finally found my way to Dungeons of Drakkenheim. I've watched a lot of the Dungeon Dudes videos and had an assumption on how the adventure and roleplaying would go but this exceeded my expectations greatly! You guys put on a great show. All three players seemed to get into their characters really well and Monty does an outstanding job DMing with great descriptions. You can certainly tell you all are great friends and it really shows in the play experience. I felt like I was in on the action with all the cutting up and just having a good time. Can't wait to continue watching! Cheers!

[@rickau]

I'm 24 min in and enjoying it immensely. I struggled to hit 10 minutes with CR so these guys have got something special going on already. I got put off watching any D&D streams because of CR. Glad I decided to just go 'fuck it' and watch this one anyway.

"I'm Sebastian Crowe and I'm here to rescue you! ". I loved that part! Might have been missed by the other players though. 😂

[@colbynelson2760]

I am in love with this group!!! Like Gloomstalker + Shadow Sorcerer = awesome stealth combo, love the princely guy whose actually good at stonework. All we now is a potion salesman or someone to learn healing spells and we’re solid!

[@ryboflavin42]

Only potion inspectors in this group

[@Dack.howaboutyou]

Hehe, yeah. From a power-gamer point of view, a cleric, or maybe even a well-played/built-druid, would make this group really unstoppable... if a bit more cliche and "on-brand", trophe for D&D-groups. Heck, even a Swiss Army Knife, off-healer/blaster or something like a Bard, Artificer, Paladin, Warlock, or whatever other fancy newish sub-class-tricked-out character could bring that versatility & healing to make this small group more of a standard-4-PC, 5e-powerhouse-party for sure. However, it might be just as interesting, perhaps more-so, to see them running it the way they are [instead of doing it more 'by the book', in relative safety of having a "well balanced party composition"]. Having 4 players instead of 3 though also might shift the entire campaign emphasis on spending more time stomping enemies quickly in combat rather than doing more roleplaying/exploration/social (non-combat) stuff that smaller groups tend to spend a bit more time doing. Just my armchair 2c ;)

I've gotta say, this is one of the best D&D groups/campaigns I've ever seen. It's not cringy at all, and it's great to see that everyone in this group gets along, talks intelligently (in and out of character,) and no one is awkward. Everyone seems to have a fun time joking around while still sticking to the main goal/story. Monty, you're also a great Dungeon Master! I look forward to watching more of these.

I would especially be wary of spending cash on it now what with the new changes coming soon potentially and the industry and economy in general being so chaotic... those big hardbacks are a fairly big investment and honestly they're laid out pretty terribly even compared to the older versions which may have not been written as well as 5e, but at least you could find things in them (spells etc).

[@Shane-The-Pain]

What he said. Same for me.

[@DungeonDudes]

A few common questions we got during the stream: *When will video on demand be available?* Video-on-demand episodes will be available publicly the following Friday after the livestream. *What level are the characters?* The characters started at 3rd level. *How were ability scores generated?* We used an array of 17, 15, 13, 12, 10, 8, plus racial modifiers. Some of the characters had small tweaks to tertiary stats to better represent how they plan to roleplay the character. *Who did the art?* Each player drew their own character art. Kelly and Jill drew the artwork for the opening. *Who did the opening narration?* That was our good friend Hundred Year's Boar. Check out his KZbin channel! *Where did you source the music?* The music and ambience is by Tabletop Audio. You can find their original, 10 minute ambiences and music for your games and stories at tabletopaudio.com/ *Where was the third camera?* We didn't have a camera on our Dwarven Forge setup tonight. We record our regular episodes using DSLR cameras, which require additional hardware to use for live streaming. Instead, we're using two Logitech C920 webcams to record the live stream. In future episodes we will have a third C920 camera in place and we're confident our stream setup will support it. The video in the first episode was a bit over-exposed as we forgot to disable the autofocus on the C920s. We'll correct that for future episodes as well.

[@tianixtv]

fantastic! also the light is way strong!

[@DungeonDudes]

Yes, it was a last-minute mistake with the camera settings. We'll have it fixed for future episodes.

[@matthewdylla6090]

Dungeon Dudes about the shards, if they're from the meteor. How do you justify the statement by River that they can't be cracked, forged or cut but they're all pieces of the meteor assumedly? Short of each "gem" only ever being the size it is... doesn't make much sense given the general way precious gems like diamonds work so if it's pressured magic then it should be just as viable an option as for normal gems. The way they work makes it seem like they're living things with a sort of plant membrane but if that's the case they should be able to be grown larger or amplified in strength. I hand it to your group you made an interesting material here but it doesn't make much sense outside of the "it's magic" justification which personally is never satisfying.

[@DungeonDudes]

@Matthew great comment! Delerium is indeed a magical material, and there's much more to it than "it's magic"... but these are secrets yet to be revealed! You're on the right track with your thinking though...

[@jwraper1498]

2:07:00 the player gets a critical strike and gets 6 damage on a 2d10 roll. It just doesn’t feel special like a critical strike should be, especially when the next player immediately does maximum damage on a plain ol’ regular attack and kills the Giant Rat. I recommend using a house rule for crits that I have found works very well. If a player gets a critical strike; allow them to do maximum normal damage and the roll once for extra damage. It guarantees that the player always gets to deal a massive blow. Nothing is worse than getting a critical strike and then rolling two 1’s.

Became a patron as a thank you for your amazing 5e guides on this channel, but am so glad to be able to indulge in this campaign and get my D&D fix during this tragic quarantine. Thank you for all the work and creativity!

Seriously, I can't even begin to describe how much I love this show! If you're looking for a DnD-liveplay to watch, this is the one! I promise you, you won't regret it. It's a mystery to me why the whole internet isn't filled with fan art at this point.

Love the setting Monty.....dark, brooding, delicious. Give me more.

Dudes... I have been watching your channel for a while and had no idea this existed. SO EXCITED!

[@Kaeridan]

I just discovered this and I'm in love with it.

[@ron.c.koster]

Woow i can finally watch!! Sadly your live eps are around 2 am around here

Well done guys, enjoyed it and great content with your other videos, best wishes for the future and growth.

What a cool campaign premise. It’s like the West Marches meets Roadside Picnic/Stalker. And a bit of Dark Souls thrown in.

I just came back to this vid after a year and congrats on 200k views. That is amazing for a 3 hour video of a board game in some canadian nerd's basement :)

Nice! That was a great run and atmosphere, and the characters played off each other in fun ways. Good A-V production qualities too. I like seeing a small party run -- it's so intimate and there's more time for everyone to get in their dialogues and witty banter. It will be interesting to see how the party gets along until someone can learn a healing spell... oof, tough way to start! Thank you for sharing your fun with us, and I'm looking forward to future episodes :)

I’m a bit late and I just found your guys’ channel but you guys are great! I tried to watch Saving Throw’s streams in my off time away from playing and it got boring. I watched this first episode and *BAM* instantly attached. I love Monty’s DM’ing, the theme/setting/story, and especially all of your role playing! It’s so amazing and I can’t wait to watch more of this amazing campaign

I just started watching this in 10 minute intervals while i smoke. 😅 I'm a pathfinder homebrewer but i already love this channel.

I was with Pluto on this one the whole time. They were on a clandestine mission, which they accomplished. They are so close to completion and Veo/Sebastian are jeopardizing the mission. AMAZING first episode you all! All of you are clearly having fun and none of this seems forced. Add one sub to your total please. I wish the best for you guys and thank you for all the laughs. 😁 Post Script, Thank you Kyle, Clayton, Chris, tabletop audio, 100 years boar, and dwarven forge.
