"High Rollers DnD ... is dead to me"? Oh no!

[@danielsprague2652]

The persona that Tom asked to join 5 minutes before the stream is dead to you?

[@timothydornan6517]

Alacrity

[@grandmastercultistofben]

Grundle murderer was prone.. so would only get half his movement

[@arcticwiz2249]

Yeah trott is dead to me, Like lmao

[@evertime123]

"---is dead to me" GREAT START MARK

[@SilenceIsGolden2721]

"YOU KILLED GRUNDLE!!!" - Best part of the episode imo. LuL

[@frockrock774]

SilenceIsGolden2721 the best part of every episode

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

That dude done fucked up.

[@Beerbones928]

Tom, remember that Bertie takes half all physical damage while raging. Resistance to slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage.

[@evertime123]

And has advantage on strength checks

[@lencol583]

I want a Mamba's Mercenaries Jacket on the store haha

Always have the PHB open or a spellcard ready when casting spells... sleep does not have a saving throw!!

[@BaldGuyDennis]

Yea looking for this comment

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

You dare question the almighty DM?

[@cearulcarpenter104]

Can I please get the party's stats. I want to make them NPCs in the dragon heist campaign I am running.

[@stevenmckenna745]

Spoiler alert... Burty dives through a window, action hero style landing as he smashes burned face into the ground and proceeds to almost pumble him to death. So awesome, so sad and so funny. Trott does something that isnt just a fail, it's the kind that can only be called trotting(always so funny see how they go).loved his chase scene tho.

[@maxwelljohnson6185]

Kinda late, but I'd call this a classic Chris Trott error.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

I imagine that when Bertie is waiting, he just goes into standby mode and doesnt move or blink at all. Just perfectly still, 0 brain function, somehow still breathing without his chest moving at all.

[@slikshot6]

*Gives Bardic inspiration with 50d6 laying on the table* "And thats my turn"

[@Kicksticks]

57:53 YOU KILLED GRUNDLE

[@TheHappyZappy]

I love the just Constant media references :b

[@alstonjacobs4934]

What if we split the idle champion dice into thirds. The players get 2/3 (rounded up) and the DM gets the last third, also unspent dice do to the DM next round. That way its about calculated dice roll (instead of like 50 dice to players to almost always win contest)

[@Raven7744]

Or that for each 2 dice spent by the players the DM gets one

[@Mrjohnnyturtle]

TEAM VALOR

[@MaliciousGrim05]

Oh man, like everything that could have gone wrong did haha

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Whiskers is the nicest feline in existance....or a double agent. Either way, I approve.

[@sixthballad5531]

In Rogue's Gambit, you only get natural 1s or natural 20s.

[@theattercopworkshop9990]

SMH Trott... the hubris. Hilarious.

[@crzyrapidgorrila9180]

Stand on one hand and lift rocks with your special gift

[@TheVideomasterg]

1:35:08 wait wasn't his bonus action the disengage? does he get two bonus action per turn?

[@alstonjacobs4934]

i think mark said later he has move action, regular action dash and cunning action to move

[@Xanthromire]

cunning action is a bonus action and unless this guy is special he only gets the one so he'd only get 60 tho bertie still cant keep up

[@HighRollersDnD]

Disengaging allows you to move full distance without provoking attacks. (30). Move action (30). Action Dash (30).

[@songwritertom]

High Rollers DnD disengage doesn't allow you to make full movement however

[@4N0081s]

Disengaging allows you to move you normal distance without incurring opportunity attacks. The effect is what you gain from disengage. You don't get to dash with disengage. otherwise why would you ever take the dash action if disengage offers exactly that and more.

[@annabelle629]

1:22:00 Alacrity - a lack writ e thank you guild wars 2

[@adrenalineunlimited]

Attack of opportunity Aquamamba!

In re watching I just noticed mark wearing a Far Verona shirt

[@optimus2200]

Trot .... you make me want to skin my face out of frustration !!! geeee .... the patience of this table is over 9000.

[@ybot1]

This is more Johnny English than James Bond

[@ParadoxNerdHLM]

I mean, based on what happened when I played "Dragon Heist" Berty's still isn't the stupidest way to end up getting arrested

[@jamesbeam8554]

Just thinking ... Grundle ate the worm... he murdered a friend too!

[@jasonjase8661]

You guys are the best D&D group on the internet.... Yet good roll or bad f-off with the cocked dice. What kind of trays are you all using. The only time I've cocked a dice is when I went nuts and the dice missed the tray and landed on a shag carpet. Anyways my rant aside keep up the good work

[@bonodienoes8993]

1:50:30 from i have watched. Including all of the campaigns ice watched. Including current campaigns. I have to completely agree with Mark. 😂

[@Sirhc223]

What's the music playing at 1:26:20?

[@Shadowbandits]

Mark let the one guy disengage and dash, he should have only been able to move 60 feet, not 90 :(

[@statickaiinaweirdworld179]

Man, soon it'll just be Mark and Tom playing DnD. So busy lately...

[@Beerbones928]

1:11:38 "ugh" "OOFH" *"AAUGH"*

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

The burned man couldnt have moved 90 ft. if he Disengaged from Bertie. He would have only moved 60 ft. 30 for his movement and another 30 for his Bonus Action _or_ his Action to Dash since he would have had to spend one of the two to Disengage.

[@roboelite5446]

Were working on turning me into a mega zord because im a juggernaut construct and everyone else is halflings and gnomes.

[@tobyhardcastle6830]

why does the aqua mamba chase remind me of Master Shifu running

Keep touching them until Mark shouts at you...such a great thing out of context.

[@arcticwiz2249]

Man.....dude escaped with 1 hp and trott did a big whoppsie So sad.

[@Durzo]

I am one of those D&D players that Trott is driving insane...he plays all characters with Int/Wis of 3...maybe combined...

[@Dinuial]

Not just you. I have yet to see a game where I haven't wanted to pinch his damn head off.

[@pinkpixels8806]

He’s having fun?

[@Durzo]

Maybe...but all of his characters should be different. They all seem to be incredibly unwise disaster magnets. This fit Cam Buckland very well. Not some much his other toons.

[@alphaprawns]

Durzo It's D&D, it's not meant to be played perfectly optimally at all times. Characters like this are fun.

[@Durzo]

alphaprawns I am not talking about perfect play. I have watched all High Rollers streams. All of his characters behave like this, maybe with the exception of Dead Reckoning. Five out of 6...

[@Ghryst]

Goliaths are not just "slightly tall humans", they are not 6-7 feet. Goliaths are between 7 and 8 feet tall.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

The he is a very short Goliath. Solved. Teehee

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Dunno if you knew this but your reply is still in the person's notifications even if you delete it. Just a heads up on that.

Well played.

Even if he does, he will live on in our hearts

[@grandmastercultistofben]

I dont understand why he was arrested..... could they not explain they were attacked at the party??

[@theundeadcowboy8970]

wheres katy

[@Durzo]

She is taking a streaming break, unfortunately. High Rollers suffers without her fully engaged, in my opinion.

[@Jayzor92]

Current headcanon is that Fleur messed up on that jump and just went... "Fuck eet." then just left.

[@smittyo0]

Uhhh. They barely have enough players as it is. They should get a bigger group. Three players a week just isn’t that entertaining. Probably fine to play but watching needs more. Especially with the number if people watching. There should be more actors.

[@pinkpixels8806]

smittyo0 I disagree completely. High rollers works so well in my opinion because it’s just a small circle of friends playing a game they love. It would suck if it was like critical role where almost every week a player is absent because there’s too many of them.

[@hona6924]

Where's Aerois?

[@morganwaas4868]

It comes out on Thursday like it always has

[@McSenkel]

Is dead to Mark.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Aerois is on the other side of the astral sea. It takes time for the broadcasts to reach Earth.

[@ZaxPBG]

Watching this again cos it's great; but Mark using Aqua Mamba's catchphrase over and over is poor form; for DMs, don't do this, it takes it out of the player's hands to use at their own timing.

[@sonnyboh]

Again, Where is Fleur?

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Camped out on a roof waiting for the perfect shot...only problem is that the intel got mixed up so Fleur is on the wrong rooftop.

[@gyrrakavian]

Don't worry, Mark. Our D&D party is about as insane. We had to reset the world to prevent it from ending Sunday, and the reset button erased two of the characters and cost everything the party had to obtain from the mysterious merchant. We had gone from 5% story completion and skipped to 95% story completion in 3 bad decisions and with the party at half the level they needed to be.

[@memelord-ny6fv]

So how did that happen

[@crowdazzle8054]

The only thing I can think of is Kim being a cousin of whiskers and Trott is fireganase and he says I'm not stuck here with u "snaps fingers lights him self on fire like the human torch" then all u hear is Kim character go "AAHHHHHHH" then guards run to the cell with buckets of water

[@lilianempls]

Started with a 5.25 minute add I couldn't fast forward through from Dennis Prager-blech blech blech

[@StilltheAp0llyon]

"I end your turn prematurely because I want to do something else." Mark is a fun DM, but I wouldn't put up with that. Very disrespectful to the players.

[@tobyhardcastle6830]

At a normal game I'd agree but I guess he has to do this differently for the cinematics for the audience, they have to consider our enjoyment while normal games should indeed be all for the players

[@StilltheAp0llyon]

@@tobyhardcastle6830 And having chess players fist fight to capture pieces might be more exciting, but then it isn't chess anymore, is it? Trying to "play to the audience" and delivering trite, planned "action" is the antithesis of what I want in D&D show and if that is what Mark was trying to do then he should be ashamed of himself for such abominable DMing.

[@tobyhardcastle6830]

@@StilltheAp0llyon I don't believe that adjusting the order that events are narrated is as game breaking as fist fighting chess (although I still found HP's wizard chess to be a game of chess). All I was saying is that in a normal game a DM may be expected to sacrifice smoothness and continuity to balance getting to each player, but when publishing a professional work there is an expectation on the DM and the players to produce a higher quality product, which may require them to adjust the narration order
