I'm excited

[@CACTINER]

If my DM wasn’t prepared for the campaign but instead showed me a music video of how they were going to prepare. I would completely accept it.

[@adrienaline4894]

Nup, it would have to slap half as hard as this minimum (the extra 100% is just gravy)

[@yourstruly2983]

This is still more prep than that *one* player does...

[@Healcraft]

@@yourstruly2983 yeah really, real D&D is not critical role, players are expected to put as much effort into it as the dm, the dm doesnt have to write a literal novel before starting

[@vintage-radio]

same

[@Frankenberryoneone]

I can't wait for Tom as DM to say the words "On the horizon of this forest path you see a group of dark cloaked figures slowly trudging towards, what do you do?" :D

[@furygeist]

If they roll a nat 1 but are able to sing Perception Check word for word and ham it up, it automatically becomes a nat 20. But ONLY for that encounter. I wish DMs would insitute a performance based Hail Mary for a very specific Nat 1 that turns it into a Nat 20 upon completion. It can only be used in either a very specific encounter, or once in the entire campaign. Not the session, the entire campaign. It has to have very specific trigger and the player has to be do screwed by that nat 1 that they might die. And when I say once in the entire campaign, I don't mean for each player. It's one Hail Mary for the entire party, and they have to agree on the use of it. Make it almost like a divine intervention thing.

"KARATE BY THE OCEAN" HOLY SHIT THAT LINE GOES HARD AS FUCK

Cool shit

Dat mix tho. Honestly I'm in awe of the production quality AGAIN.

Can we have a behind the scenes walk through of Mr Cardy's production process? :D

[@tomcardy1]

@@tyranneous You are very kind, and I really appreciate comments like these even on little info videos like this because I do love to get lost and spend time making it sound as hectic as I can! Yes I am keen to make a walkthrough, which songs should I do?

Legit.

he's also got a new haircut that makes him look even more not like a cop.

"He is also the one without a girlfriend" it killed me, amazing song mate.

That's a long road from just being the guy playing background music live, to a player, to the DM! Amazing!

​@@calliopeshif7581It's because the Dragon Friends cast occasionally call Dan Harmon Dungeon Daddy Dave.

"Best friends till the very end" - I hope somebody told Gareth.

I started listening to Dragon Friends because of this video. Thank you for spreading the word!

[@Musicman3812]

I don't know what dragon friends is But I'm definitely gonna be listening now

[@moondancer89]

As someone who's been listening since 2016, it's a wild fucken ride.

[@willpulford8893]

Very good podcast, bunch of comedians play dungeons and dragons badly, with live music and audience, and a great deal of improv. It's fun for people who don't like d&d (like me) and for people who do

[@willpulford8893]

Just realised you may like some context So edan and Tom need no introduction the video is more than sufficient in that The two people they video with are David Harmon, who has been the DM for the series since the start, and Ben Jenkins who has played all the NPC characters. In season 2 he was away so edan took over, and then Ben returned for the season finale and ever since the two of them have done NPCs together So this is really cool news that Tom cardy (who did the live music from I think season 5 onwards? Benny Davis from the band the axis of awesome did it before) is getting a bigger role, and edan is taking a leadership position But it's also kinda sad, that Ben and David are leaving, since they have been so involved for so long

[@BlackKara]

Buckle Up.

[@alyssa-star]

_adds yet another D&D podcast to the queue_ for Tom

[@Ravenkell8]

Had never heard about it, now I have to listen to hours of dnd content! I'm so mad, I'll have to really get into it and learn character and shit!

Dragon Friends is genuinely so good, you're in for a treat

[@fabian6087]

Alternative title: Hey, I do work here.

[@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450]

This song has me wishing we could have Edan and Tom DM'ing on a tabletop rpg campaign, that'd be so cool, it makes me a bit sad they're both so busy right now to do that.

You can do it in three but it's hard to drink that much

The true facts are so real. I think having a ttrpg group means that you just learn the weirdest things about people.

[@victoriadauria8904]

I started listening to the dragon friends because of your perception check video and have really enjoyed it so far so I'm super excited for the next season! I'm all caught up and ready!

[@nickmurphy2936]

Hell yeah HELL YEAH EDAN AND TOM LET'S MUTHAFLIPPING GOOOOOO. And I loved the bit with you rolling dice on his back, and calling out Ben "the man of two voices" Jenkins was astounding.

[@mayac1105]

YES!! YES!! Everyone take this as a sign to go catch up on dragon friends its so good

[@Stolanis]

So you're telling me that two men who have no children are coming together to create something that is going to require a great deal of co-ordinated effort, emotional investment and probably many sleepless nights?

[@prophetzarquon1922]

If they're lucky, it'll spawn new things, too.

[@CelticShae]

Your music always makes me feel better. Not in a snide, superior way, but it's genuinely funny, and so relatable. I love that you have no shame about your own eccentricities and weirdness. It's how I live, too. Keep flying your flag, friend 💗 Also, happy Valentines Day! You're one of my KZbin crushes.

[@Neceros]

Tom, please read a book called *Dungeon World* or *Apocalypse World.* You can find free copies online, but the books are cheap. Specifically, I urge you to read the GM sections of said books. It destroyed my old way of GMing and freed me up substantially to just GM. Do not make a plot. Make an outline, make some bad "Fronts" like an umbrella corp, or a big bad guy, a slow moving disease, etc. Something that is the main culprit of story. Make outlines and possibilities, but let the players write the story.
