High Rollers: Christmas Special 2020 | Valla's Wish

[@pawncube6787]

Plushie Quill might be the greatest idea Mark has ever had.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Needs to be made into merch.

[@kamaljohnson2200]

"Might". heh ahh hah hah...... Oooookaay

[@isaacmcmanus3666]

Unrelated, but IM Eric Rosen approves of your name.

[@pawncube6787]

@@isaacmcmanus3666 I made this name with that in mind. I got this structure on a game and I decided to make a screenshot of it and it kinda snowballed.

[@elvertosbron6657]

I need it

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

This is the first episode of High Rollers I've watched. I've been a fan of Mark for a while now, originally seeing him in Far Verona as the Chaplain. After several weeks of watching him doing an amazing job DMing Nights of Eveningstar, I saw this and decided to watch to see if I'd like the groups dynamic and whatnot. This is an awesome group. I'm going to have to go and watch from season 1.

[@mallerman7515]

Just so you know, campaign 1 does not have Rhiannon or Tom in it. Tom comes in later in the campaign. It's still very worth watching though.

[@tommymalloy8693]

in my opinion light fall was great, but aerois easily tops it.

[@rozu7772]

Just wait until you see Trellimar! Best character in campaign 1!

[@TheCatBehind]

Campaign 1 has the advantage of having Kim who is only starting to learn DnD tho and it's honestly why I got hooked in the first place :D

[@ethancaldwell2422]

Enjoy the ride man. It's a long and emotional one!

[@CaptainInvisible1]

Not finished the episode yet, but I hope they don't end up being taken by H.A.D.A.R (Household Agency of Disposal and Assorted Recycling).

[@MrKitKatHart]

This is a work of absolute mastery. Both from a creative point of view, a business point of view and even a personal point of view. Even the RP. Mark was so invested in this last scene you even see him shed a tear. This, my guys, is acting at its finest.

[@thatlycantomboy]

As someone who used to work at a... ahem, “Non-Copyright Construction Bricks” store and used to construct nerdy crap on my break time, I am beyond thrilled by Nova. Additionally: _Who made that thumbnail, oh my god_ Also, I think I want a Quill plushie more than anything in the world.

[@wierdpeopleotherdude1422]

ThatLycanTomboy my god I love my “non-copyright construction bricks”

[@angriestjoker]

Guess what new merch is coming on Sunday 😬

[@samarndt6505]

This is one of the best, most wholesome d&d sessions I've ever seen. Well done to all (Mark especially). It was truly a joy to watch.

I feel like I should let you know that D&D is not always like this but if you'd like to do this type of thing then RPGs are the way to go.

I want a one shot where they all became children and have like a kids next door adventure 😂

To see Mark so emotional is magical. :) To see these fellas so taken by it is heartwarming. Thank you, High Rollers. Merry Christmas

[@wierdpeopleotherdude1422]

This was amazing just the detail and references in this one shot is absolutely fantastic

[@theeutecticpoint]

Damn you Mark, humanizing the villain, making the main story more than a simple good vs. evil! THE FEELS!! Truly a master of storytelling! Fantastic game everyone!

[@lyrsglassblossom]

Just donated!❤ Sadly not through jingle jam, I meant to watch your original stream and donate then, but I completely missed it (we're working quite a bit of overtime this time of year, especially during covid...) Since jingle jam's over I donated directly to the Mental Health Foundation, it's still you guys' achievement tho. Dnd has been helping me for years fighting my PTSD and all that comes with it, so it kinda feels like a donation to metal health brings it full circle💖 Thanks for everything you do, have a safe and happy holiday season!❄🌠

[@yellowdemon2746]

This is absolutely brilliant! mark is literally the best DM out there.

[@aliciacharline]

I love it when the DM pulls shenanigans and the players respond accordingly, the look of sheer glee on Marks face is exquisite

[@GeneTay07]

This has got to be one of the best Christmas HighRollers specials yet, dare I say the best one. After such a shitty year, this has got be one the best ways to end it off. Props to you HighRollers for being such amazing people and brightening up my year. Simply amazing and glad I found you guys this year!

[@alexward9787]

This has to become cannon as some weird dream they all had as they pass thru a place more so consumed by hadar

TIS CANON ! absolutely wonderful episode and people, as always

[@5hadow5talker]

This has got to be the cutest one shot yet. Also, what is with Trott's characters getting their junk misshapenned? This happened in lightfall too with Salabalad + Trell

[@piratewhoisquiet]

tbf I think he rolled a nat 1 on an "endowment check" on the first episode of aerois, so Luc was already the opposite of Cam in that regard

[@almondsai7214]

@@piratewhoisquiet I still can't believe he rolled a nat 20 on cam then a nat 1 on Lucius

[@rogue_arcana9171]

Petition to get quill plushies. I really want a quill plushie with a squeaker now

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Lucius definitely has Proficiency in Hair Braiding. Maybe even expertise.

[@Thankfuldead]

Come on mark, you really gonna make me cry for the Christmas special? I have a weakness to family stuff, craving something I’ve never had I guess.

[@EverlastingEclipse]

Interestingly enough, I play an awakened stuffed animal in one of my games And quill is making me think of it

[@gabe7622]

Quill: no Mark don’t turn me into a marketable plushy Noooooooooo

[@PaulStarhaven]

I do hope that at the end, Starbane , Siaska and Valla eventually just get a house somewhere and live out family adventures

[@ZandyrBier004]

I’m watching this 3 years later in spring and the wholesome opening descriptions have brought me to tears while at work

[@elizabethtravis7332]

Ten to one Mr. Callus hand-paints the little tin soldiers as a hobby.

[@gabrielrussell5531]

Fun fact: There is an actual Autobot named Sentinel Prime. He played a big role in Transformers: Animated where he was a huuuuuge jerk and I loved him. (In that series any Autobot who led a team was ___ Prime.)

The REAL question is whether or not Callus also had this dream. I can't believe how perfectly all of the characters, PCs & NPCs, translated into toys/pets. And funny how Quill needs to be rescued from Xarkira again

[@wierdpeopleotherdude1422]

So I thought of an amazing reasoning for wanting to go back when the echo of ciasca (I don’t know how to spell it) asks them why yo go back It is this: there can’t be “happy days” when there is no bad or terrible days to go with them as when there is no sadness there is no way for a day to be considered happy: so let me ask you all a question what is happiness when there is no loss, when there is no crying, when there is no heartbreak, there is none there will be no clear sky’s after the storm there will be no light there won’t even be true happiness only a feeling of missing something there is a reason we feel emotions and they help us stay alive they help us regulate are existence so back to my question, what is happiness without sadness? Remember people look for the days ahead even if there bad in your eyes there a blessing in others. Always look at the future for the clear sky’s that comes after your storm

Aila probably wouldn't need to throw Qillek forward so that he lands back inside unless they were going really fast like 70+ kmph. If she threw him forwards he would land in front and get run over.

The title confirms it i thought her name was valor... like the valor of battle not valla

[@pamspray5254]

OH MY GOSH this is even more perfect considering that their toy-types reflect their ages! Tin toys a bit like Sentry, were very common 100 something years ago. She's the oldest! Not to mention that well-kept metal toys are still around today. Barbies have been around for 50 something years at least. Action figures have also been around a long time. These two types would also last a fairly long time too, reflecting the slightly longer than human ages that elves in this universe have. Legos, oh, sorry, brickmasters, are a bit of a weird one here. Brickmasters are a bit younger than Barbies, if memory serves, but other than that don't really reflect Nova's age super well. But they do reflect her interests perfectly. But Quill? soft boi plushie? Well that's just perfect! Our birb boy is 3 years old. And stuffed toys have the shortest lifespan, being much more prone to damage by agents like dust, mold, or simply falling apart. Perfectly representative of the short lives of Aarakocra.

But yeah, I'm fairly certain he's said a that this particular campaign itself isn't going to be published. Sorry, but I hope that answered your question.
