Shayne "protecting" the Dryad that charmed him by hitting the other one was a genius move. It's also perfectly in character as the himbo.

[@loyalty5207]

"What does that look like to you?" instead of "How do you want to do this?" is such a breath of fresh air. Critical Role has had such a huge effect on DM style over the years that seeing Damien having his own style which takes good ideas and tunes them to fit him just shows how much of a natural he is.

[@mr.moviemafia]

Exactly the same thought I had when I heard him say that, I love it

[@MannyNamiro]

"What does that look like to you?" is the same as "How do you want to do this?" mechanically speaking. It is a good idea, for sure, but it is literally the same thing, just worded differently. NADDPOD does that too, but says "Finish him!" a la Mortal Kombat.

[@alfombra1054]

It’s Dimension 20. Damien watched a lot of Dimension 20. He even did the “bup-up-up-up” thing when he was counting the damage on that first attack. That’s Brennan 101. Not saying that’s a bad thing, though. I LOVE D20 and I think it’s an incredible source to take inspiration from. I just found it really funny that Damien did the same little noise Brennan does when he’s counting dice and I had to say it somewhere.

He's a surprisingly calming influence on her. She's less manic and more focused. This'll be good.

DMing ain't easy. Man this dude killed it great job

I hope we eventually get an animated version of this. I need to see Fernie chugging a barrel of mead

[@michaelmacdonald334]

It worked for Legend of Vox Machina! 😁

[@heathaze2062]

i wanna see fernie face down in mud so bad

[@theawesomegamebox513]

YES

[@alexbo5089]

And face down in the mud blowing bubbles

[@ricardoperez2821]

That sounds amazing! Another option could be a bunch of images set as a slideshow advancing as the story goes on, I assume animation could take some time to complete.

[@dinorecto6671]

Every DM needs a player like Angela with a wide eyed wonder and appreciation with how the DM and other players contribute to the narrative and the ability to have amazing contributions as well

[@Moss_butt-da-_-alien]

I agree, Angela is all around awesome

[@Naomeme]

I am so excited, I don't know how we're gonna manage with a release every like... 2 weeks? A month? HELP

Commenting so I get notified

[@Jaece-bu6be]

I have rewatched this probably about 5 times now bc I want the second episode to come out so bad! And I’m just so excited that I can’t help but rewatch lol

[@sarah-zv8ld]

I'm already loving this. everyones characters and the world damien built are all so much fun! I hope this continues

[@MadTomPlays]

Now we just need the costumes and this will literally be the best D&D campaign ever.

[@renthehag]

I’m trying to imagine the arts department building a gigantic wooden Iron Giant for him to climb into 😂

Angela's face when Fernie uses primal savagery is me whenever someone does something cool at the dnd table

[@MistyJadeYT]

This is SOOOO good. Honestly better than I expected somehow. You guys really playing the part of your characters and Damien is a really good DM. I'm loving this I can't wait for Episode 2

[@DurggenMsCurggen66]

This was great. Seriously if Smosh made a separate DnD channel, I would subscribe.

[@mianancarrow1330]

Yesss a Smosh DnD channel would be amazing

[@alayoncito001]

As long as it becomes a recurring series I don't need another channel

[@FoxoftheCosmos]

Fernie got that Baymax energy and I'm enjoying it

[@Roblitzo]

I was thinking wooden Bastion (Overwatch) but Baymax fits so much better. Also holy f*ck, I completely forgot that show existed, thank you that nostalgia trip. 🤯

[@gooey_gumdrops]

This needs more episodes ASAP! I am in love with this series!!

[@3rdboywonder]

I'm so impatiently waiting for the next episode!! Love these characters and theyre such strong bases and it makes me so excited to see how they grow and develop over the course of the campaign!! Please keep making these!!

[@katiepine3493]

Shayne as a gigantic wooden robot who doesn’t know what a squirrel is is hilarious

[@JSmellerM]

No, his perception is 1, so he simply couldn't pinpoint where Chanse's character was pointing. Also 'girl' doesn't rhyme with 'squirrel'.

[@jadenmichel3441]

i’m already too emotionally attached to this series

[@hatstephla1769]

I’m already in love with all of these characters and if anything happens to them I will riot

[@day9811]

fernie's already living in my head rent free, if something happens to any of them i might not actually survive watching this campaign

[@edsgirl9290]

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched an entire KZbin video through without skipping anything. It was such a blast to watch and I love every single one of the characters. Can’t wait to see more.

[@Syd448]

After watching all the fan art in the live stream yesterday, it’s time to spend my day restarting this campaign from the beginning ❤

[@Negromancer1reapalot]

Angela’s mouth being agape while Shayne describes transforming is priceless

[@snarkbotanya6557]

Fernie is an absolute treasure. We must all protect the big dumb cinnamon roll.
