New running the game video next week! Monday probably!

[@Calebgoblin]

groovy and tubular (groobular)

[@ericdewald8948]

Yusss! That gaming philosophy!

[@Reformedhillbilly369]

Reformedhillbilly here. Love the new monsters and mechanics. So does my table. Keep up the good work. Also, wanted to say thank you for making me a fan of The Sandbaggers. Watched it with my wife and she loved it. It gave me the confidence to share with her some of my favorite movies I never thought she would like (Magnificent 7, Casablanca, Nice Guys). Now she loves them too and we can talk about movies in a new way. Thank you. You surely are a river to your people.

[@madsam7582]

Whoo, I'm about to get FG so I can run Traveller over Discord! A massive percentage of the way I run is based on things I learned on this channel!

[@SpaceSoups]

[EXCITED RESPONSE]

[@mcolville]

Should have said "that protect their vision."

[@king_hawthorne]

Thank you for your service to the Hot Vampire Agenda!!!

[@BrianDiehlZA]

Super appreciative of all the tireless efforts of the MCDM crew! Thanks for all the good stuff!

[@matthewshroba1511]

That mad max adventure sounds pretty great I gotta look into that.

[@rafaelbrandao4059]

I like how you REALLY leaned into the Thousand Psychic Wars for the raiders. Taking the stuff you love and putting it in our games.

[@patrickhayes2639]

"Make him HOTTER" is the best advice, I love the Count's artwork. As well as all the statblocks and nifty things to be found. Keep it up!

[@Pyre001]

2:55 "And grouping them like this [...] makes them sort of like bands!" I love the second album by The Spectral Undead.

[@rafaelbrandao4059]

Their work really solidified by the second album.

[@iankirkwood9005]

I just love this! The monsters are incredible, the enthusiasm from Matt is so good to see. Wizards of the Coast has been releasing subpar products lately so seeing MCDM pick up steam is so awesome! Great products every time they’re available!

[@LotharTheFellhanded]

Wasn’t sure about the time raiders until I saw the art. Four armed githyanki types, ala the Green Men of Mars! I love it.

[@micka190]

Dang Matt, I've been using/reskinning these in my Curse of Strahd campaign, and you're constantly releasing *exactly* what I needed *after* the session I needed them 😂 I might just yoink that Vampire Lord for Strahd!

[@starlightsanguivore]

I got unreasonably giddy over the BÖC quote, heh- you guys do great work with this stuff!

[@jebgordon6608]

FYI Michael Moorcock wrote the lyrics to that song it was one of his multiple collaborations with BÖC. Though I will always associate this song with finding the Loc-Nar in Heavy Metal.

[@johnrechtoris9796]

​​@@jebgordon6608 I previously had no idea that song was a Moorcock collaboration. Thank you! And @Ashtana, so did I! And I know exactly what I am listening to next after this video.

[@tehHighwayman]

Coming in with Count Rhodar von Glauer like, "oh, you think he's metal? Hold my umlaut" then gives us the Time Raiders and melts our faces off! If these two dope things did not deserve different packet drops what else is waiting for us?!

[@alexpohlman8773]

A couple of people have pointed out the BÖC reference with the time raiders, but I loved the Pink Floyd Easter egg with the hags (three different ones)! As always great work, can’t wait for the full book!

[@eduardobarrancos1273]

GodDammit uncle Matt. I've been in a vibe of detatching myself from 5e and trying to hook my friends in playing other ttrpgs, but now I want to play 5e so muchhhhhh! Thank you, MCDM crew, for the hard work!

[@bean2562]

I've been wanting to run a oneshot with Gnolls but found the vanilla version to be underwhelming, so I have been secretly waiting for the MCDM redo to come out, can't wait to run them in game.

[@danakospanova52]

Guys, you are making History!😆 The book, the experience, the community - it is all something from another world!🌏❤️

[@tannerbennie1062]

Is it just me or does everyone else get super jazzed seeing matt get super jazzed?

[@Ozai75]

Matt has an infectious charisma that whenever he gets excited about something it spreads to other people. So don't feel alone you're not the only person that feels that way.

[@tannerbennie1062]

@@Ozai75 true, one of those people where it feels like your buddy is talking to you rather than someone on KZbin

[@ericdewald8948]

The video quality gets better with each time. Well done over there MCDM team.

[@digitaljanus]

Damn I just used some gnolls. Guess I'm going to have to bring in some more! ;-)

[@Sparrow141420]

So excited! I've been using a LOT of the stuff out of these packets and it is smooth, fun, and my players are surprised and impressed when stuff goes off! Minions have allowed me to simulate huge combats. It's working well for us, especially as special events and story situations where I want everyone to feel and be awesome with an epic level of drama and this book has really helped me bring that in.

[@sequoyahwright]

Nice BOC reference, MC! My favorite track from the Heavy Metal OST.

[@aqacefan]

4:17 Holy Screaming Yellow Zonkers, that is some Michael Whelan level art!

[@tafa_matai3184]

Every time you reference A Fire of Unknown Origin, I 1) Scream, 2) Giggle Obscenely, or 3) go out on the album immediately

[@geekparkingonly2802]

Always happy to catch a BOC reference

[@relhaz4326]

Oh hey, I'm finally going to watch the video before reading the entire blurb in the email xD My players groan when I mention new Colville monster's as I cackle with glee.

[@noahblack914]

3:47 The little laugh as you're saying Jriffin makes the dumb joke even better

[@Shovel_Cat]

Thank you all for being you, and doing the things you do.

[@TnTyson81]

I'm really enjoying the release decisions for Flee Mortals! Good job everyone :)

[@viscerallyfemme]

Now I'm gonna have to blast blue oyster cult when the time raider appear in my campaign!

[@stevedodd6773]

By far the best thing to do. BOC rules KO!

[@romantheflash]

Testing the Furious Road was so much fun. I love Flee Mortals. Packet 4 like every packet is epic!

[@sleepingbee8997]

Never run gnolls before, but I’m starting a hellish, cult infested campaign, and mutated demon-dogs will be perfect goons.

[@jacobs483]

Please extend my thanks and high praise to the rest of team, Matt. I am so personally excited to run the gnolls and fiend. My campaign heavily features a demon-infested wilderness punctuated by points of light. Your gnolls were already similar in theme to mine, making them a natural fit. Thank you so much! Christmas came early for me this year.

[@WilliamIcenrose]

Wow, that was fast! And just in time to spruce up my gnoll ambush I'm running in my campaign on Saturday, too!

[@DungeonsAndDrams]

Literally just finished with gnolls in my campaign on Monday… 😢. But the main bad guy got away so they’ll be back

[@digitaljanus]

Last week for me! But I'm already seeing how to bring them back...

[@MrThewalkingdead]

"Make him hotter". I need to remember that next time I get character art done.

[@jriggan]

Yay🎉 Merry Holiday’s Happiness Galore!! Thanks

[@denniscastello504]

A Blue Oyster Cult reference!! I love it!!

[@SoulisStar]

This video is the perfect level of hype. First I got the email for the content. Now that I’m done work and find this great video. Thank you Matt

[@hippocampus6514]

"They all have psychic scars... Because their scars are all on the inside." Nooooo... "Veterans of a thousand psychic wars!" Aaaagh!

[@Wraithing]

lol - a KNAC and Sea Hags mention slipped on in there. Made me smile 😄🤘😎

[@treymclemore3418]

Do we…do we have to fight Von Glauer? After seeing him I’m starting to think maybe being a vampire slave isn’t all bad.

[@Dusios]

Oh that vampire art is amazing!

[@aemorion]

Every time I watch these videos, just the sheer inthusiam Matt has for the content of the video makes me excited to play dnd. Keep it up matt! Only keeps getting better and better!

[@aidenrobley504]

Delivering the packets as the book is being made was a great idea, and I love these videos getting me excited for the newest packet.

[@shortseater9379]

im about to run descent into avernus and i CANT WAIT to run the gnolls

[@evelynminer8568]

he said "guys gals and nonbinary pals" and yet that hot vampire guy is still the queerest thing in this video. love this sm

[@bouncingbean]

Thinking the same thing! 😁💜🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[@pranakhan]

I was just thinking about when the next packet was going to come out yesterday! Like clockwork, much gratitude! PREORDER IT MORTALS

[@legendzero6755]

Lots of awesome artwork on these

[@romicmi]

Seeing your excitement is infectious and it's hard not to get caught up in it. I love your stuff and your advice has revolutionized my game. Thank you so much

[@tamagomuffin]

Hot damn! and now having seen the video, just damn. time to run an adventure!

[@borkware]

That Tüsker Dü is pretty cool!

[@ericjkier]

A few things, I think you may have cast greater healing word on my soul, I've even got temp HP to spare. 2, I know I already paid you for this, and I'm on Patreon, but I've gotta watch a stream so I can hock more old people currency at you. I love all this stuff. Next month I start my homebrew campaign and this is going in it, all of it.

[@magicalgirl1296]

Matt's incredible enthusiasm for these buggers is infectious.

[@bagamer13]

You are a hero, Matthew.

[@scrunkus]

So happy to support you guys! Keep up the outstanding work!

[@davidmorgan1608]

I love the approach you are taking with these monsters. There’s loads of creative juices infused in every one, and watching these videos (and Running The Game) has given me a thousand ideas to incorporate into my campaign. I’m the same age as Matt and have been playing D&D since 1981, but the amazing content you’ve produced has improved my game 10x over! Thank you.

[@MIKELiscrazy]

Thank you so much! This is amazing and I love that while I’m running my game I always have a new batch of stuff to use! Cannot wait to use Von Glauer 😈

[@colinflanigan9153]

Monster Mashup! Gnolls, Abyssal Hyenas, Count Vampire Lord, Time Raiders! High Fantasy meets Science Fantasy! MCDM makes great monsters

[@osiriszoran2304]

Your books are amazing 👏 😍

[@DrWickermoon]

A Blue Oyster Cult reference of one of my most favourite songs, I appreciate that. :3

[@kurtoogle4576]

Time raiders are super cool design!

[@davidanddragons5339]

The lighting and camera settings look the best I've seen so far. Great job Matt's team and Matt

[@justinurbigkit9971]

Your content, in all of it's forms, inspires me and fills me with a Christmas-like glee. Thank you!

[@Haroldsavatar]

Yes you got me good with that line, their scars are on the inside! BOC so gooooood. This book is going to be 🔥🔥🔥

[@ReustersPlace]

Damn, I really love how excited you are about this… it’s sells Matt, it really sells… can’t wait to get the complete book

[@silasrobertshaw8122]

Von Glauer reminds me of the White Court vampires from Dresden.

[@Lishtenbird]

0:58 I like pets that count, they can do taxes during short rests.

[@esquinaroma]

I'm so freaking excited 🤩🤩🤩

[@David_Blake91]

That Vampire Lord is indeed HAAWT! And using "Veteran of the Psychic Wars"-lines to describe the Time Raiders? I mean I couldnt be the only one, who also associated that song with Githyankis, so yeah, I think it tracks! :D

[@jackdubois1512]

This is all so freakin cool. Thanks for all the quality work!!

[@samcarter565]

A nice ode to TNG with the Jordi visor Eyes

[@sammcclintock9084]

Your joy is palpable ❤

[@civ-fanboy2137]

I love the Blue Oyster Cult Quotes all over your stuff :D

[@BasementMinions]

"Make him hotter" very important feedback for any artist!

[@Bravebear333]

I love that song!!! Nice and thematic.

[@OleIngvarStene]

Please, let these shakes go on, I love it!

[@datalich]

Blue Oyster Cult reference? Love it.

[@Calebgoblin]

"ONLY seven packets!? And I, Bob Cratchit, am about to Raise Your Salary."

[@jmartin4396]

The Time Raiders look incredible! I immediately went to Thark in my head.

[@bronsonkim6652]

Make him hotter is such a good priority for vampire lords

[@mrTwisby]

Sweet! Looking forward to perusing.

[@Efstardian]

The packet is amazing. Once again you amaze us. Happy holidays to the team. You guys rule 🤯🤯

[@CODEFORTYTWO]

Hell yeah BÖC quotes! Ngl I've been waiting for you to quote Black Blade for the longest time

[@paulcrosslin6011]

Thanks Matt!

[@boabplz4107]

I'm really looking forward to the Flee Mortals Undead - new homebrew setting is an undead\zombie post post apocalypse.

[@gastonsuarez5320]

I love everything you've done for this game. Thank you!

[@o_double_t_o]

3:31 Hags = Fey “Lich” How have I never thought of this before…

[@civilbeard]

So much art in this one!! Fantastic!

[@StarWindEnergin]

Is the art supposed to be in the creature packet pdf files? I've never seen the art and just figured I was looking in the wrong place, but maybe I'm using the wrong program to view the pdfs?

[@civilbeard]

@@StarWindEnergin the art is in the "Concept Art" folder. There's no art in the PDFs.

[@StarWindEnergin]

@@civilbeard Thank you

[@Ravenicus]

I love all the Michael Moorcock references!

[@Serelenntidude]

I would love to play a TimeRaider.

[@thurianknight]

Love love love the Blue Oyster Cult references! 😀

[@MrDwaters88]

Im a few sessions away from the finale of Curse of Strahd. Strahd is notoriously squishy so I think I will just have to use the Glauer statblock.

[@Tachilen]

Those are dope!

[@vaporeonlvl1009]

The art is aweosome omg

[@ethanc2280]

Ran Stop Thieves for the first time tonight. It was a hit! I hope y'all keep doing those little games. Going to do the gnoll one next.

[@JoeAuerbach]

Perfect timing. I needed some neat monsters for next session.

[@knusperworks]

Thank you for the BOC reference!

[@rakbel316]

My players are nearing an encounter with a large Gnoll group attempting to summon their Demon Lord, so I look forward to using these Gnolls and their beasts relatively soon!

[@tomyoung9834]

So awesome!

loving those blue oyster cult quotes
