A Brief Intermission | Altheya: The Dragon Empire #28

[@wtff]

Random, but I'm watching both this and Aerois at the same time and I just love seeing how much Rhiannon has come out of her shell.

[@chantalelizabeth3505]

The Rowan impressions are making my day!

[@IndigoF0X]

I know! The early episodes of Aerois make her seem like an entirely different person

[@Russianninja956]

At this point I'm following several different TTRPG live plays and I think I'm most excited for this one every week. Great setting, great cast, amazing DM! For the Empress!

[@freddie4613]

@russianninja956 which is the best of the others you're watching? (Looking for recommendations)

[@Russianninja956]

@freddie4613 As you can imagine Critical Role's stream I keep up with. Penny Arcade has done some fun ones. Acquisitions Inc. The C team is technically over but is hilarious and has some great chemistry. The Black Dice Society is a Ravenloft game run by B. Dave Walters and is more horror themed. The Glass Cannon network does a Path Finder 2E stream which has shorter eps and I'm currently catching up on. It's fun but can be frustrating at times. LA by night is a Vampire the Masquerade live play with a killer cast and some stellar role play. Hope this helps and roll on!

[@SLTX757]

⁠@@freddie4613not OP but others I’m watching are Critical Role (D&D), Natural Six (D&D), Oxventure (D&D, new campaign starting in the fall), and Chaotic Neutral (short D&D series, Call of Cthulhu one-shots, playthroughs of RPG board / card games). All are great and different in tone, but at the moment I’m enjoying the Call of Cthulhu one-shots, maybe because it’s an interesting system that I’m a bit newer to than D&D 5e!

[@TizohTV]

At the mention of crownrend.. "Ahh... little demon.." Where my HR adventures started all them years ago. Still to this day one of my favourite item's

[@DanCoffee]

Pulling a nice open, yet subtle "Don't you know who I am?" at Dante's. I like it.

[@KHitsuga]

"Someone not as... Guided" Nym really stretched to be nice about Xanthius

[@demilts]

Daisy in Dante's shop was so cute and funny! I love her energy with everyone.

[@ana_d_73]

The House of the Dragon I've been waiting for ❤❤❤

[@RossMKitson]

Great to have them back after the mini hiatus. Normally interim episodes bore me, but I enjoyed how this flowed. Stoked for next week and whatever bonkers mechanics Mark has devised.

[@amyheath8261]

I love the dad nature of Gruff. He tells off a demon gun.

[@Zathurious]

Xanthous is the only one who can comfortably wield that pistol. Coincidence? Maybe that's his relic weapon.

[@terryotoole3265]

Man I was going into withdrawal !! They're back (mostly) and as terrific as ever!!!!😁🤘❤👍

[@annereynolds7930]

Thank you for timing your mini hiatus for when I was out of town and wouldn't have been able to watch :) I look forward to this stream every week and have been slowly working my way through your Aerois campaign as well. Great job, High Rollers!

[@juliemichellerobinson1841]

So I know Mark is doing his own rules for Masterwork, but just in case anyone is interested, in 3.5e masterwork weapons gave you a +1 to attack but *not* to damage. They were a prerequisite for the crafting of magic weapons.

[@SACII9899]

Love the sommelier vibe

[@seamusobrien1381]

Keep culdra and carry on, mugs, shirts, banners yes!

[@ryleighgaddie3463]

I discovered you guys when you guys had Jen and Aliona as guests, and now I'm working my way through Arois while waiting for this campaign to have a new episode. At least based on what I've seen so far in that campaign, (they've just returned from Astral Space) Mark's key to balancing encounters is to have a campaign where the most dangerous fighters are given to the lowest Rollers! Instant Balance! Just add bad luck! I wonder if Ophelia and Daisy will be as powerful but unlucky as Aila and Sentry

[@tenebraebr]

Intermissions are good, I loved this one!

[@25Dzone]

Congrats on 200k subs!

[@blackh9604]

Loved the character interactions this episode!

[@magley64]

FOR THE EMPRESS!!!! FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!!

[@1Lanavis1]

Now I'm curious what would happen if Rhiannon drank Xantheus. Would it taste especially good, bad, or otherwise flavorful? Would it hurt her? Or provide a benefit of some sort if she drank enough?

[@GaldirEonai]

It'd be the vampiric equivalent of Four Loko.

[@LavenderAndDaffodils]

I started watching Altheya and caught up to waiting for episodes weekly, I'm watching Aerios now too!:D (Episode 28!!)

That's my goat, take this bardic inspiration 🎲

[@aramere3650]

Quick! Reinforce the barrier!

[@corneliuscarver8547]

🫡 thank you for doing your part!

[@Stormrider1138]

The myth, the birb, the legend

[@BigCheddarMC]

Birb is the word

[@Sirfinchyyy]

Welcome back gang! Wow that character growth from Gruff... If he doesn't get knighted soon, he should consider starting his own order. For the Coat of Arms: the background:2 birds grasping a fish, flying in a circle. The foreground: 2 lions flanking a house, but slightly more focused on facing outward (toward the front, away from Gruff) and an image of Gruff, front and center, with shield and staff, in a battle pose that says:" you're not getting past me!!" The image of Gruff could be more non-descript, the image would be less about Gruff specifically and more on the idea of defending something.

[@chrishughes-adair1319]

He wanted that gun the second it dropped out the bag...just the look on his face.

[@travisboothe5670]

Can we get a Gruff is Roar t shirt?

[@travisboothe5670]

[@Sirfinchyyy]

Pls, make the visual that moment where Gruff landed the "killing blow" on that Demon❤.

[@justinwelburn8746]

I missed you guys

[@Anansilaaraña]

Waiting for Xantheus embracing the Dark side.

[@danih.5675]

I cant believe im caught up! Guess i have to start one of the other two campaigns

[@daeins]

So hyped rn omg

[@lexgray42]

rawrsome episode!

[@jasonreeves1826]

I have a mixed Celtic pantheon in my homebrew campaign setting, and Ceridwen is one of the deities I included. 😁

[@yuzik01]

"I don't like a demon sitting in someone's pocket" ...says the celestial sitting in someone's pocket 🤨

[@Sirfinchyyy]

I can picture the "demon gun" scene as if it were Shawn, from Shawn of the dead, using the winchester, with the group trying to stay behind him in a panic... don't know why.

[@AmzzNotFound]

Today is a good day 😁

[@spaceslime21]

No capes!

[@Sirfinchyyy]

"But they look"---- NO CAPES!!!

[@dadriangreen6179]

Daisy was hilarious during this episode lmao

[@leonkirk5280]

I think the small piece of armour that Mark was referring to is a Rondel, or Besagew.

[@amyheath8261]

I love Ophelia’s voice

[@Israelmadruga]

Cheers!

[@lpbigD4444]

Id have spent every dime i had in dantes lol - good self control

[@amyheath8261]

I thought the Rowan impressions were excellent! Same with Mark’s Lucius impressions.

[@andrewbraun5642]

Ah,O,O,O,O,O,O,O! Hype!

[@izzy_apex]

FOR THE EMPRESS! FOR THE ALGORITHM!

[@QuiteBlackpilled]

This shit is so good you guys

[@Flummiification]

is the keyboar rattle new? dont really like it beeing picked up

[@ranensol8457]

Is the circular plate on Gruffudd's armour called a "Besagew" by any chance?

[@tessraiten2484]

The combo of no face thumbnail and the episode title scared me 😅

[@whgarbage456]

Lucius had the fey crown lolol

[@thegurem]

Let's go

[@BearlyArcane]

Trott had the trotts?

[@Phalcon777]

Xanthos needs a new accessory Point spinner that allows him to use the gun to deliver spell attacks so like he can cast a fireball through the gun and make a shot and then he would like the shot would blow up into a fireball

[@takofficially]

Woo

[@joeivo911]

Is Altheya part of the dnd world? Like is baldurs gate in this world? I’m new to dnd so I’m not sure. Also is there a place to find out lore on altheya? Thanks

[@stevenmckenna745]

So dragon mail fine? 1:09:29

[@newmoon776]

They should be called Knights of Northveil

[@jayswaytogame9472]

I think should call there tavern the pillars of the planes because they are all connected to the planes

[@isaacb4229]

The "armellie?" That was a nice nod to John Wick.

[@cthomashand]

This good. Ya.
