High Rollers: Aerois

[@philcompton8192]

I decided I wanted to learn to play D&D so I started listening to this podcast. This was my first D&D experience ever. That was early August and I just caught up today. I've listened to 4 years of Mark describe Aerois in 2 months. Great job Mark (and everyone). Thank you for being so inspirational with your story telling. My kids (10 and 7) have also gotten interested because of your podcast and now have me trying to DM for them. :)

[@Lucky13Ravens]

As a DM I love Mark's style, he is truly a skilled artist and Godhead. Just some friendly advice. Rome wasn't built in a day, most DM's over prepare in their first campaign. Don't stress it. Everyone learns more no matter how long you play. Just have fun.

[@BigCheddarMC]

The appearance of Zam Zim Zimbaloo absolutely made this episode for me. Mark came up with him in Rogue’s Gambit after the player’s shenanigans and nonsense pushed him over the edge. Seeing him appear here is so perfect given the level of silliness in this episode - Mark reaching his tipping point into madness again. LOVE HIGH ROLLERS. NEVER CHANGE.

[@salamanda550]

"The little flumph that...really shouldn't have" Made me cackle out loud. Perfect degeneracy.

[@keyfire]

I loved this for so many reasons. Never change High Rollers into something hyper-professional & serious! It is exactly those moments of above-the-table shenanigans and friendship and laughs that set you apart. Dropping little jokes for each other. The true d&d homegame experience! It just feels lovely seeing a bunch of friends having so much fun. (The serious stuff is also fantastic bte, but less of a unique selling point! Other streams also do that very well too...)

I just remembered my alarm/fear when reading the title of this episode, and I didn't even imagine the possibility of the chaos being out of game. Instead of the fire nation attacking, we got a dumpster fire of irl banter. 1:49:36 Spa time for callused Lucius and Thalia soft hands 1:52:13 Quill's continued struggle to build this fking box and buying the next copy pains, which I don't at all understand as an american 1:56:35 Zam Zim Zimbalar 2:15:18 monkaS Tom is alone 2:20:20 The lads come back 2:26:00 Trott looking at Kim's notes lmao

Tom: "when we run out of things to sate her" that line killed me XD

I really hope that line won't end up being foreshadowing for her defecting to Hadar. She's literally got a near perfect mindset to accept his offers.

Watching tom take the goblin out of the cage in the first half and watching rhi panic in the second half while he tries to keep a straight face is peak comedy

[@graygarcia4175]

I love the laughy rp/tangent episodes as much as I love the cryey rp episodes, and that is a lot.

[@graygarcia4175]

I WISH a 160+ session long epic story would end with a wish for a spa day and everyone just chilling. No, wait, I wish life would do that. Sigh.

[@spectra20000]

I just knew Kim was laughing to herself about Horizon becoming the ship's saucer section like in Star Trek TNG.

[@azguarder]

They’re back missed this so much last week!!

[@BryanBrake]

I nearly choked on my water when Kim 'whispered' at around the 36:00 mark.

[@PariahCary]

It's hilarious going from Nights of Eveningstar, where everyone is so complimentary and gracious toward Mark as a DM, to watching these chuckleheads 100% commit to fucking about, much to Mark's chagrin

[@cyranojohnson8771]

The Robbie Williams reference FTW. :D I had literally forgotten about that video until that moment.

[@nanospeed2550]

I didnt know the reference and I am overwhelmed with regret for looking it up. One of the most horrifying MVs I have seen in a long while... 😭😭😭

So watching this on the following Sunday I get these on Thursdays on youtube. I survived a hurricane! I'm so glad to have my power back on and I can enjoy this

[@amira-uf5yj]

Would argue that the chest/fridge should be evocation as it evokes cold, but transmutation I guess makes sense. Great episode everyone!

[@tenebraebr]

Jesus Christ this was a chaotic episode. So much fun! Love it!

[@Isabeau_Navarre]

🤣🤣 coming back from break shenanigans reminds me of my session last month that took 3 hours to actually start because we couldn't focus, were playing KZbin clips, chatting, and searching the Build A Bear website lol! The best part is as soon as I played the Who Wants to Be A Millionaire sound that happens when they focus on a question, we all were able to focus 🤣

[@Tometh28]

So happy to see SPOILERS: . . . . . . . Zim Zam Zimbaloo from a Rogues Gambit return!

[@keyfire]

Hell yes! My favourite. I want it to be a thing that whenever the party want to hire a random wizard, it is always zip zop zandalore himself that they find to do the job. No matter what world they are in!

Zan Zom Zimbalan cone of colding that old lady is still one of my favorite mark dm moments to this day

[@teelehansen4995]

I watch 3 dnd streams and it's things like the 2nd half that make high rollers stand out. I love the chemistry between you all and I totally get the reference of the buying the next part of a kit. There's a few things in the US that are similar and they always cancel 2/3 thru the collection! 🤣

[@emielbroeders8199]

Just whatched episode 148 back. Lucius: ''We can cut some time out just by giving all the money now and that way she won't be waiting for us to pay her. Then Qillek can send a remote message if we know what magic items we want.'' some time later...... Qillek: ''at this point just take the chest, I'll empty it out. I'll just keep pouring the gold until there's still some left.'' DM: ''How about you give her 10 000 and the rest you'll keep'' Love this show 🤣

[@BlackShadow1991]

[@arcticwiz2249]

"You don't get clockwise transitions then poses" Wait what, Sailor Moon? Jojo? Anything with a magical girl transformation???

[@frantisekvrana3902]

There is a case to be made that the Chest of Preserving should be a Necromancy school magic item. After all, the effect is equal to that of the Necromancy spell Gentle Repose. Chest of Preserving preserves "Food and other perishables", while Gentle Repose preserves "Corpses and other remains". What is food but corpses of animals and plants?

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Approximately 600...that is a heck of a workforce of that nature.

[@GothicKitty1313]

Mark asking everyone to leave the room is such a power move honestly, like 'nah not for you, Tom time now' 😂 also so much note taking during the vision, so much.

[@charlesstevenson2033]

I'm certain Azaria is becoming a lich.

[@T3hIluvatar]

Exactly my thoughts. Funny how they just finished an arc that was all about 'undead bad' but when Azaria raises a bunch of forced labor it's perfectly OK :D

[@ultimatedemon2]

The unhinged tired episodes are my favorite

[@jacobyoung4442]

It really felt like mark was tryin hard to plant the seed, that Petal, could be a potential leader of the Astoria

[@Sorenzo]

For a commoner in most D&D settings, 25 gold is months' worth of savings. Think about it: You can get basic food items like beer, bread, soup, etc. for a few coppers. Housing costs silvers per day - according to the official 5e rules, consuming 2 silvers per day is a "poor" lifestyle, which is what most commoners (laborers, mercenaries, petty merchants) fall into. So imagine making, say, 3 silvers per day working at a farmstead or a smithy or a store. You spend two of them. You'll take 10 days to save up a gold. In a year, you save 36. So a 25g chest for a 5e commoner would be like me buying a gaming rig. It better be a nice chest!

[@Scott_Burton]

Revealing more Star Trek Nerd than Kim. TNG season 1 Episode 1, Encounter at Farpoint, the saucer and engine sections were separated. Even moreso, most published materials prior to TNG indicate that this was possible in many earlier generation crafts, going at least as far back as the Constitution Class Cruiser (which includes the NCC-1701 USS Enterprise, as commanded by Captain Christopher Pike and later Captain James Tiberius Kirk.)

Lucius can cast wish so why can’t he just turn a piece of furniture into an admiral they need? He uses the spell polymorph and mark can make him do a int check. DC 13, but anything higher then 13 can create a really good and badass admiral

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

It isnt like Lucius to waste something like a wish spell on something so frivolous. It would be like accidentally wishing he was a bird man. He would never do something so wasteful and reckless.

[@mme.veronica735]

@@Blasted2Oblivion He has 9th level slots. He can just cast Wish with that, but that kind of wish isn't capable of casting True Polymorph which is what would be needed to transform a chair into an Admiral permanently. Could've learned it though

@@mme.veronica735 I was going for a joke but it is cool to learn that kind of wish doesn't do True Poly.

[@wyattfrye8262]

@@Blasted2Oblivion I appreciate the joke, but I’m sure with some word play he can get a scroll of True Polymorph with the help from Quill and Nova. If he were to get the scroll then that’s when he rolls the 33% to never cast wish again (which I’m sure he’ll roll fine enough to not lose the spell) and Parell will have to take care of the admiral since she’s a wizard
