[@RyuzakiHirokai]

I think a lot of people get hung up on fighting being the center point of dnd, and many DMs are always trying to push forward to the next battle, but I think this episode is a perfect example that dnd doesn't revolve around fighting or even lore. Dnd is truly about character interaction and time together with friends. I think Rob knows this, and more people in the community need to be reminded of this as well.

I love how the guys decided to keep on through the enchanted spiky terrain and getting brutal amounts of damage even though they clearly saw they can't slash through it or dispel it. Rob must have been crying inside his head, wondering why they didn't take the river or the higher road. Sometimes the players turn the easiest obstacles into a major and dangerous encounter while the DM just stands there with a Pikachu face :D

“I got a log!” That one killed me 😂😂😂😂😂

[@CrazyDeeDee]

Well that was fun 😁 you guys are extremely entertaining. Loved the banter and can't wait for the next episode 😊👍

[@zingsid]

OMG 😱, I'm so addicted to this particular series!

[@the_womble_king4357]

This episode had me in tears. So funny. I loved the role playing skimming stones.

[@BeardedDragonite]

this episode they did bugger all except skip stones and get lost and I loved it

[@TerraDoctor]

No matter what they try, NPC's will be stuck in a loop!

[@Fortnewem]

I just love how they get distracted with a rock skipping competition when they're supposed to be looking for wolves! 😆

[@RobertHartleyGM]

And on a time crunch...

[@Fortnewem]

@@RobertHartleyGM is there a better time for rock skipping? 😆

[@lewcrew]

these are the funiest videos i've found on YT in a long time XD

[@ryanholmes1970]

Perfect mix of actors. Very entertaining. Thank you

[@elirantuil5003]

"Thats offensive to the skimming community" I died

[@Ch4os4ever]

Splendid episode as always. And as always I would like to recommend the DM to run "expedition to the barrier peaks" with the VLDL crew next time or the one after, that module would be absolutely hilarious.

[@RobertHartleyGM]

I prefer my own worlds rather than modules but thanks for the suggestion.

[@Ch4os4ever]

@@RobertHartleyGM I understand, and certainly the module itself has a terrible bland story and motivation, but the setting itself is what is incredible, I am trying not to spoil for anyone also reading the comments but if you could come up with a great story that runs on the "setting" and its "themes" if you get that... it could be very fun to both run and watch. I am only suggesting that because I really think that, and for a setting that Gygax (May he rest in peace) came up with in 1976 it was way ahead of its time. I also know there is a 2019 remake of it for the 5e of DnD that may be better to adapt. Thanks for the repply and whatever you come up with I certainly will keep watching because you and the VLDL crew are awesome!

[@Nic19771]

These are huge highlights in my week! ❤ Love them!

[@Blu_nji]

I really like Bob in this NPC Series! He's the most hilarious!

[@alaxandergw3245]

This whole series is pure gold. I love this format and you guys are awesome!

[@isaachopkins7557]

Absolute love this. I wish there were more people on KZbin that do this

[@Frostelion]

Rob's stone was called 'cut scene' because it was unskimmable..

[@RobertHartleyGM]

*Slow clap*

[@HatakeHachiko]

Loool they just went back in circle 😂 what a twist

[@katherineminor3402]

Circles don't twist.

[@hillbillykoi5534]

Best DM ever to allow for the rock skipping haha! Never had that before in a session.

[@RobertHartleyGM]

You got be in tund to when your party wants a mini game.

[@tomkelly00]

>goes on an adventure >Spends most of the time off the rails doing things like skipping stones

[@HonorKnight]

This is great.. this makes the characters feel alive from their original series which is awesome!!

[@gogroxandurrac]

A great example of random stuff that can happen and become fun because it's rolling a die.
