High Rollers: DnD Celebration 2020 One-Shot | Perils of the Id

[@rolindahlquist3124]

Trott with the brilliant Michael Caine impression.

[@GalianMode]

I initially thought he was trying to do Del Preston from Wayne's World, until the tangerine part!

[@ozanesici]

This was an amazing one-shot. Great job Mark for making it and everyone else for being a good sport with the deaths.

[@rangerbobcat]

This group of players are Mark's regulars from the High Rollers channel. They've been triumphant and wiped out dozens of times as a team. If you haven't been up to the channel it is amazing. Kim Richards does really neat one-shots too whenever Mark is busy or ill. She does great horror scenarios

[@ozanesici]

Bruce Saul I have been watching since they started high rollers and the reason I found high rollers was because I have been watching the Yogscast from way back

[@rangerbobcat]

@@ozanesici Sorry, missed that . I found them about 3 weeks ago and have a lot of catching up to do.

[@ozanesici]

Bruce Saul I’m envious of that honestly

[@bookreaderman6715]

@@rangerbobcat honestly catching up on aerois was great when I first started listening, it was kind of sad when I caught up as I couldn't just go listen to like 17 episodes

[@ElderonAnalas]

i like the bringing over of the whole supply mechanic from IRONSWORN into this game, it's a really nice change and idea Mark

[@jasonmichel8698]

Katie has the most characters survive side stories and one shots

[@arcticwiz2249]

Probably because she plays the straightman to the stupid shit the party gets up to

[@pinkpixels8806]

That’s because she’s not a total idiot 😂

[@ktwolfsbane]

Was having such an off day and then this came out to youtube. I missed it during the dnd celebration and seeing this it makes me so happy you are all amazing

[@thebigbrainchannel6750]

You guys are the Best part of the day

[@Bertolucci_]

Hell yah!

[@tackywacky0517]

Really love this cast, the one shot, and the setting of this campaign book as a whole. You guys did an amazing job bringing the world to life! And your characters were just as love-able as always! To more adventures!

[@AoAD]

I watched this live, and I'm rewarching it again because I absolutely love how this went. Without revealing too much, Mark's personal touches to this are ingenious and very much in lore despite it being new.

[@quinnlee-newbury9003]

I was not expecting this to go into a sci fi direction when I saw it but once I heard "John Carpenter" I figured it would

[@MaliciousGrim05]

(Info because Tom asked about it during the session) For folks who don't know: Non-lethal is a thing you can do with ANY melee weapon in DnD 5E (dunno about ranged weapons). Spells generally can't be used for Non-lethal attacks. I know this because I play a monk that tries to not kill unless facing truly evil beings or monsters, unfortunately his party doesn't share the same sentiment, lol

[@lanceturner3733]

I ran this game for my players as a Halloween horror session and it was fantastic, thank you so much for the inspiration. all of you are brilliant by the way

[@MrHlum]

This was so much fun. It's nice to have goofy characters every once in a while.

[@yimyam7615]

Once in a while? Have you not seen the masterpieces of trotts?

[@MrHlum]

You're right about Trott. I just like that in this one pretty much everyone (except Katie) played a silly character.

[@bushbaby4421]

This was the an amazing one shot, and you didn't even have to rush the ending too much!

[@rippip6160]

Loved the changes. Well paced. Good job to Mark and the party

[@konstantinkoch6114]

"never split the party" exists for a reason :D

[@hldavid6108]

This One-Shot was amazing!

[@mast1665]

Using this as OneShot for Halloween. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@vampasha]

This was so good and not what I was expecting going into it. lol

[@lanceturner3733]

This is possibly the most lore friendly Easter egg mash up I have ever seen

[@diablofrag2177]

I literally bought this campaign to DM for my group yesterday, not even realising that these guys played it wowzers

[@josephbristow6241]

Oh my, that was awesome and honestly yes would make a fantastic horror movie. Absolutely brutal.

[@rozu7772]

The wifi was bad yesterday so I couldn't watch, but now I'm here and I can't wait to see what Matt does!

[@catswithlasers]

I feel like there was a missed opportunity to call the sphincter doors, "Sphincdoors"

[@DawnsonRPGs]

I think he actually said that in an episode of Nights of Eveningstar.

[@adrenalineunlimited]

I wish they had Tian-gong with the one word responses. "Sphincter."

[@HugoGlz56]

I tought Rianon and Kim's charaters where siblings of the She family.

[@scenemime]

Still not used to the no beard, I’m on ep6 or Aerois

[@mme.veronica735]

You'll probably be not used to his Halloween costumes as well then. Don't worry they're great just not what you'd expect

[@dominodance567]

Gives Bowser whole new meaning

[@velocitywolf4899]

I’m on like episode 38, keep working through it ;)

[@FyreDrac]

You never get used to no beard

[@scenemime]

@@mme.veronica735 JUST WATCHING THE HALLOWEEN EP AND AAAAA, I kinda love it tho

[@MrSciencegeek2]

Ahhh, Ironsworn rules. Love it!

[@bruitist]

41:25 Is that word meant to be "cephalopod"?

[@5hadow5talker]

Probably

[@Spac3_Duck]

Illithaad. This a Rime of frostmaiden creature or a Mark hulmes special. Just got to the end. Its a special. And a cool one at that.

[@kparish05]

Ash! Hopefully with a boom-stick! John Carpenter ( micheal Caine voice 🥰)

[@tachyon8297]

I must say tom that's a very good ben doing a professor imitation

[@maxwearecool]

The Jack Sparrow is strong in this one (Trott, bloody amazing)

[@RisaxTheImp]

If everything goes well, I hope to run this module in October or November of this year. I hoped to learn something from this oneshot, being a relatively new DM and all, but I have more questions than answers now. XD Though the supply dice might be handy, might steal that.

[@hathaway384_4]

Hmm, I may have seen your show, yes

[@TheKlawwGang888]

1:40:50 "marines! We are Leaving!"

[@amber82adams]

I was eating pickles during a certain fleshy part and almost chocked to death 🤣😂🤣😂

[@angelobenosa6009]

Lol Kim got tired of being smart Belle as Nova so she became Gaston

[@DemTacs]

With your efforts combined. I am the glacialking! ;P Poor, Kim. You can see, that she is trying to keep contianed.

[@DoddsyBoy]

Please please put up the stats for that Slaad-Mind Flayer combo. So so cool!

[@danceswithdirt7197]

In another stream he mentioned he put up a bunch of his changes on his Patreon (accessible to everyone) so the stats might be there.

[@angriestjoker]

John Carpenter? Team of researchers? Investigating a crashed meteor in a frigid land? I smell assimilation in the air 😆

[@mme.veronica735]

32:52 technically you can't sneak attack if the attack has disadvantage "You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and *you don't have disadvantage* on the attack roll" (pg 96 of the PHB) I mean this is rule is a bit mean because the rogue is already at disadvantage, but hey it's understandable. If you can barely make the shot you can't aim to hit vitals

[@mempool15]

Great stuff as usual!

[@joshualloyd6718]

For those that read Forgotten Realms, this party is very Knights of Myth Drannor 🤣

[@sacred_geometry6144]

What is the one shot boomer showed up in again?

[@HighRollersDnD]

'Ullo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6vGeqmnmd1kg6s - Kim

[@DmDango]

Trott has named his character after the director of the Thing that's a bit on the nose.

[@Ty_the_Druid]

MY BODY IS READY!!!!!!

[@Erisu90]

Lets us know where this is posted, perfect for Halloween!

[@G_BLASTER]

Trott's Michael Caine impression is almost as good as Steve Coogan's. Great stuff. Any plans for a full RotFM campaign once CoS is finished?

[@roleforfantasy]

Impossible in counter pretty fun to watch

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

The timestamps make it look like they spend almost 2 hours introducing the characters

[@noahwatkins666]

What die size did you use for supply die and did each player have their own die?

[@mme.veronica735]

d6 and I believe that was for the whole party but I could've been mistaken about that part.

[@Adeuceinthejohn]

Ima carrot

[@mizerablegit4720]

The only character reference i get is ash, Anyone care to explain the others?

[@Techstriker1]

What are Tom and Katie's character references? Kim = Ash and the evil dead Rhi = Quin from jaws? Trott = The thing reference.

[@PariahCary]

I know Tom's was Doc from Back to the Future

[@gyrrakavian]

High five to Kim for the _Evil Dead_ reference.

[@gusargoan]

You have obviously never been in a blizzard. If you can see it in a blizzard, you are very close, not an hour away. I was on a snowmobile in a blizzard. I drove slow and looked for signs. I thought I was close, but I wasn't sure. I tipped my snowmobile into the wind and slept under the tracks. The next day I woke up and was only 100 feet from my backdoor. The lights were on all night and I didn't see them. No way you would see a structure that was 1 hour away in a blizzard. I was following a river and turned up by a bridge. I veered right and missed a road that was by the bridge. I ended up riding uphill without out knowing it, which made me think I was off course.

[@Wunder]

Those are some long introductions

[@EverlastingEclipse]

Reminds me of when I lost a character to a mindflayer

[@chuckallerston9997]

The message says,Aaahhhh!

[@shanecarey9554]

Of these five characters, how many *aren't* references to real or fictional people?

[@The_Young_Lion]

What are those references?

[@TriangularPrism]

@@The_Young_Lion John Carpenter is a reference to real life director John Carpenter, as well as the character being Michael Caine and his roles Ash is a reference to The Evil Dead Quintessa is a reference to Quint, the captain in Jaws Doctor P. H. Decker is a reference to Doc Brown from Back to the Future I think Isla is unique? Either that or a reference to Isla Nublar in Jurassic Park, but that's a stretch

[@Spac3_Duck]

@@TriangularPrism PH Decker is also just PHD so his name is also doctor doctor

[@HighRollersDnD]

Isla isn't a direct reference to anyone like the rest of us are, but she had the Final Girl character tropes :)

[@shanecarey9554]

@@TriangularPrism Isn't there a "Dr. Decker" character in that game Lewis and Lydia play sometimes? I may be misremembering, and that may be a coincidental thing.

[@clairewatson857]

things we have learned: Ash is a top

[@wafflesarelove5801]

Who is John Carpenter based on?

[@legion2k111]

Michael Caine is the voice. The name John Carpenter is the same name as the director of many famous movies, 'The Thing' being somewhat relevant to this one-shot due to the whole movie taking place in Antarctica. Hope this helps :)

[@wafflesarelove5801]

@@legion2k111 that's what it is! I couldn't for the life of me place the voice but now that you said it I'm just thinking "some men, just want to watch the world burn"

[@jesseparker8878]

nothing against it, but what's up with displaying the pronouns?

[@mme.veronica735]

Why not?

[@lincolnsummers1235]

So people who are commenting/chatting on stream don't call someone by the wrong pronoun, it is nice to be clear and it is also just a nice touch to know some more about people

[@mme.veronica735]

@@Lukasaske While their pronouns are the same as their expression, it does confirm their pronouns are what's assumed because some non-binary people do present as their assigned gender at birth and their pronouns aren't obvious. Also it normalizes putting pronouns in places and I think that's neat. Mine are she/her if you're curious.

[@mme.veronica735]

@@Lukasaske ??? I literally do not see at all how mentioning your pronouns has anything to do with sexuality. Pronouns are a matter of who you are and aren't related to who you love.

[@juliemichellerobinson1841]

@@mme.veronica735 I think in this case it's a thing when they aren't just streaming on the HR channel; also because PC gender/pronouns don't always match player gender/pronouns, and especially some of the names in this episode are gender neutral (Ash could be either, Dr. P.H. could be either).

[@carlstar9349]

Are people so sensitive and pathetic on the d&d channel that you have to have pronouns? Maybe add age and allergies.

[@carlstar9349]

@@mme.veronica735 Yeah alright love.
