High Rollers: Aerois

[@HighRollersDnD]

Hey all, just to let you know that we're listening! The pre-stream chaos banter will be back in future YT VODs, and oh boy, the chaos in Ep 144 will more than make up for this week :D Clear Skies!

[@B0nd07]

Thank you for listening and letting us know. Looking forward to the next one!

[@joshuabryan3692]

One small note too, I don't think this is in the Aerois youtube playlist currently either. Probably matters very little but still would be nice. Thanks and have a nice day.

[@eman7blue]

thank you so much!

[@B0nd07]

I don't know, jumping straight into the dun-dun and recap feels kind of "cold" to me, especially for the first one in the new studio. I would prefer keeping in the intros and pre-game banter in the future. [Edit] To a lesser degree, I also miss the donations, at least at the end.

[@eyesReMiXeD]

same!

[@sambirtill1330]

Same!!

[@Ghillie_Monster]

I went and watched the VOD on twitch to get that sweet, sweet banter

[@utopiaoflove]

I’m gonna offer the counter point that I liked it, because it makes it feel more like watching an episode of something on Netflix or any of those streaming services.

[@guardianbear6635]

Definitely agreed, I was immediately confused and "cold" is the perfect word.

[@eman7blue]

Really surprised that the beginning banter was skipped, was looking forward to seeing yall talk about the new studio and being back in person for aerois finally :(

[@stumbling_]

You can check out their vod on Twitch, it’s free

[@Edrysian]

@@stumbling_ I'm just playing catch up. It's not on twitch anymore. Do you know if there's anywhere I can find it now?

[@alexmcenroe203]

kinda miss the chaos at the begining, but oh well, nice job on the studio!

[@hannahbeingdumb]

Id love to see them keep it around, but the studio is really cool

[@stumbling_]

There must have been some reason as to why they didn’t. It wasn’t like the before bit was exclusive to online, they’d do it back before the pandemic. I’m pretty sure it will show back up next episode though.

[@hathatyl]

Yeah I went to Twitch to watch the before, then switched back to this

[@BarryLancaster]

I love the episode and am so happy you all get to play together in person, but I definitely miss the pre-game banter and just the general interactions between you all and with the Twitch chat. It made everything more real and without it, it feels little impersonal if that makes any sense. I usually can't make it to the streams, so see it on KZbin has been my only way to do so. So it feels like I'm missing out on something now that it's not a part of the upload anymore, which is a bit of a bummer. Either way, I'll still continue to watch and enjoy every bit of Highrollers, just wanted to share my thoughts.

[@MystWalkur]

I watched the twitch stream so I knew you guys were getting rid of the chaos in the beginning but I do miss it. I normally catch you all live and then watch it here again so I'm glad I can still see your guy's beautiful chaotic selves (Streamlining it tho is super classy and professional! I just have a hard time with change 😅)

[@EchoRegalia]

I hope the preamble chats come back! To me its an important part of d&d and d&d shows. Feels cold and sudden, almost corporate to go right into it! But do whatever you guys wana do of course! Studio is amazing and so nice to see you all in person with each other again :)

[@YamiYaiba]

I'm sure it's been said in these comments enough, but I'm sad to not see the chaotic banter at the start. Part of what makes y'all so great is the banter and shenanigans. Jumping straight in line this felt...cold, and made me immediately miss the remote setup instead of enjoying the new studio.

[@GwydionAE]

I was wondering why this one was so short. I'm not going to lie, I really miss the intros and reading of donations. It's the primary reason I go to KZbin over just listening to the podcast (as I have no real chance to actually watch anyway). But I wanted to see the new studio, and it looks lovely! Great work on it - it really paid off! But I was hoping to hear some insights or see that initial excitement over the reveal, but it seems, if there was any, it wasn't included. Sad...

[@Crispi1260]

Couldn't agree more. I get a lot of pleasure out of seeing the intro and outro chaos, and there is often something discussed in the outro that is rather interesting or funny. I started with the podcasts but am now going through the old episodes and seeing all the awesome stuff that I missed! It will be rather sad if these things only stay in live.

[@thatlycantomboy]

foaming at the mouth screaming shaking with excitement! I’ve never been so excited about a “scene change” in my life. THEY’RE IN THE STUDIO LADS, WOOOOOO

[@heccmcgee4352]

1:10:20 Kim trot and rhi's camera froze here and I absolutely love the freeze frame here. 10/10 joy levels from these lads

[@eyesReMiXeD]

Missing the intro banter and the Donos! No talk of the new studio or anything, :(

[@level_breaded5364]

“Don’t you know the valkirian empire is evil” “from my point of view the storm chasers are evil” “THEN YOU ARE LOST”

[@Stormrider1138]

Awww man, I really wanted the pre-amble before the opening cinematic. That opening intro with everybody talking is great.

[@digitaljungle7154]

1:40:50 Mark nailed those Obi Wan lines, god damn!

[@superkamivegito5499]

New studio looks awesome! Saw the VOD on Twitch already but still super excited!

[@Jade.S]

why am i crying? just seeing you all in this new studio is making me so emotional, here from lightfall day 1

[@pauraiccleary6900]

Mark went above and beyond in this session. He's an incredible DM 😊

[@johnmathison2927]

I’m only on episode 71, but so excited for you guys! Had to watch the start just to see the new studio!

[@RossMKitson]

Great to see the studio and in person play, with dice! Like many I missed the pre-intro banter, despite it feeling more professional. And Ri's tattoos look amazing! Not sure why they seemed more apparent sat in a line 😂

[@andrew6821]

Please put back the beginning before the dun duns. And the donos in the middle.

[@excusemeprincess8252]

Missing the pre dun duns and donos was sad but loving the new studio and in person excitement!

[@phatpat63]

Congratulations on the new place. I think y'all deserve it, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of Aerois and campaign 3 here!

[@wafflesarelove5801]

dnd in person? thats a concept ive not heard in a long long time.

[@Kicksticks]

Gotta say its super weird not seeing all the banter at the start and donos at the end. I like the concept of cleaning up the recordings but I think this format isnt the way to go for videos. Though the clean cuts could be a good way to make the podcasts better.

[@stumbling_]

The podcasts have always been cut like this maybe they wanted to try it with the KZbin channel? Or maybe someone else edited them.

[@Kicksticks]

@@stumbling_ Yeah im aware......the fade out they're doing now will make it easier to edit the podcast together.

[@thewholehorse7140]

I've been watching this series since early December of last year, I'm on Episode 123 currently. It's great to see once I catch up in a couple of weeks I'll be able to you guys back in the studio again!

[@Fish_-ce6kk]

That whistle from Mark around 14:50 sounded EXACTLY like the falling rock sound from the old legend of Zelda games

[@RobAllenB]

I love how the Stormchasers have become pro at adding hilarity to every epic boss fight.

[@dregoth0]

Diamonds may not melt in lava, but they do burn when exposed to oxygen at high temperatures.

[@MrOmarkhaledbadr1]

Congrats on the studio everyone! You've earned all the success coming your way and I wish you all the best. I also hope the feedback in the comments shows that the pre show banter and donos are very much appreciated by the community and it's a shame that they've been cut.

[@FyreDrac]

I do miss the chaos. The donos not as much. But the chaos was one of the parts that let us all see you guys as people vs just as the characters and i like that. Idk, still a fabulous episode as always though. Will just be an adjustment

[@mme.veronica735]

Ahhh Nice hot lava and magma just what I needed after a BLIZZARD swept through Canada. In the middle of april.

[@zavierboyles]

I got a wave of shivers when Mark/Root said "Till all are one" 1:49:47

[@lewismorland5725]

Definitely hoping the intro and donos come back to the KZbin vods but switching to and from twitch will do for now! So glad to see you guys back in person in the new studio!

[@aod.42091]

everyones hair looks amazing and the new home of the highrollers looks awesome

[@poisonedoak6563]

Oh yeah, Nova got rid of her war crime gas spell! Now she just has the war crime spell “throw an entire army 100 feet in the air”

[@ostermillerjeffrey316]

Wow, I'm a podcast listener, but I had to see the new studio. Very nice work! Love the show!

[@shieldsister7302]

New studio looks amazing! So happy for y'all!!!

[@ItZoTom]

It was so nice to see everyone back together again! The maps and miniatures were 👌🏻

[@ElimLacuna]

lol 1:45:05 Aila's brutical critical. She's a delight. 91 damage in one attack. That's a whackin!

[@jonlottgaming]

I miss the intro and donations :(

[@hathatyl]

Yay we can actually hear katie when someone else is talking!

[@hallowednightyt6816]

Good to see you guys back in the studio now you guys can hit each other for real when you guys make mistakes lol

[@zachariahnye4953]

Ahhhh i have missed yoy guys dping things in the same room, the pase and feel are so amazing! I especially feel a difference in Katie who tended to get drowned out online but at the table is the best 🤩 keep it up, love you all.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I would normally do my trolly fake spoiler but I have to say that the set is amazing and I am excited.

[@seraphlord]

Grats on your fist episode in the new studio!!!

[@Kaardoron]

Aww... I really miss the pre-dunduns shit-chat as well as post-game. Hope to see it back for us in vod-squad.

[@justafox5356]

15:59 Are you absolutely sure? That does mean changing the bulb.

[@magicrob1839]

Dude the nostalgia of seeing you guys in this studio is sooooo good. Love it thx for helping me in dark times for myself so thank you. Also FIRST!!!!!

[@zephra5047]

They should call the skiff "The Cloud Chaser"...

[@travisbruton3356]

I very much dislike not having the banter before play

[@ItZoTom]

The smile on my face when the dun duns cut to Mark in the new studio 🥲

[@zgedge6473]

Am I the only one that can't stop looking at the uneven lights behind , its driving me nuts. Edit: mostly just when it focuses on mark the wide shot of all looks fantastic

[@blubbree2263]

The camera freeze at 2:28:57 for Kim, Trott and Rhi is the most wholesome thing ever :3

[@IamDemme]

Loving the new set and the energy with everyone in one place. I don't really care about the pregame banter, but switching to single-camera close-ups at the start kind of through me off because I like to watch the reactions of people at the table.

[@coltondickson3509]

Yeah for future episodes don't skip the banter at the beginning

[@mme.veronica735]

2:16:10 Looks like Tom's got a thing for bad boys with redemption arcs

[@Ozisl]

Aaaaahhh I love it all, congratulations! Seeing everyone react to each other, the beautiful set, all amazing!

[@joshuastride]

Awesome first episode in the new studio! Can't wait to see you take on Ghull'xor(?)!! Do echo some of the sentiments in this comment section that I did miss the intro & donations part of the episode, but understand if you guys want to proceed with the cleaner approach.

[@kellygingrich4302]

Studio looks awesome! Congrats! Definitely miss the opening and dono bits though.

I am very behind, and have a long way to catch up, but seeing this makes me so happy for you guys :DD

[@naughtydred8538]

I am so gutted the intro was cut. I've been plowing my way through really looking forward to the first intro in the studio :(

[@brunofranchini]

Owww the campaign logo is beautiful. A shame I never had the chance to get the limited black shirt as it was sold out before I got into the campaign.

[@PaulStarhaven]

I feel so bad for Trott, but dice curse is so funny.

[@dkwithaw]

Kinda miss the beginning chaos and ending chaos, as well as donation reading

[@slurptime1686]

Why is mark so good at an episode 3 obi wan reference wtf (i listen to the audio on KZbin music so i genuinely thought he just started playing the clip from the movie for a second)

Great! Now they have to fight Vulvagia. I hope Aila's hammer counts as a megaton hammer.

[@Techstriker1]

I agree with the many comments: I like the intros and breaks.

[@Scott_Burton]

First time in studio, repeated Kim/Trott/Rhi cam freezes. Well, tech issues to be expected. 54::47-55:00 "Play dead" for some reason I'm imagining when Banner hit the Rainbow Bridge in front of Fenris, and just Sentry stays down instead.

I love how they were just like you know etherealness and teleport would be way too easy. Things are supposed to be hard.

[@mme.veronica735]

Well it'd be a lot of walking to get to and inside of the volcano from the ethereal plane and we don't know if Vala's spell would work with the transition between planes when they go back to the material so they can do the thing to the volcano, could've ended worse for all we know
