Oxventure D&D: Wyrdwood | Chapter 8: Friends & Falsehoods - Part 2 (Season Finale)

[@KaneA87]

I love Mike's characters. A Paladin who doesn't Paladin. A criminal who's never done crime. A cowboy who can't cowboy. The only Kobold in costume. Now, a pass agg Barbarian. Low-key genius, every time

[@dee...]

He is chef's kiss 🧑‍🍳🤌 level of comedic genius.

[@davidhand9721]

I don't see how you can say "genius" after the first 30 seconds of this episode. That was an epic stupid move.

[@LiquidAwesomePersonified]

"there's throwing a bucket over your house.... and then there's being in love..." Robin is my guy.... God bless you Andy you magnificent bugger.

[@tino9718]

1:43 Andy: "I love when we make decisions as a group." 14:35 Andy burns all the bodies without any discussion …

[@thomaslane1547]

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, which is likely _why_ Morven is so fond of those group decisions...

[@RotimerJinsingtee]

Haha, yup, I really like Andy's RP but it's certainly rich of him to complain about doing things without consulting with the rest of the party

[@Nine_Crows_Down]

Thats Morven for ya ​@RotimerJinsingtee

[@_mels_]

Season finale already! Time sure flies by, it feels like just yesterday we got introduced to a gang of normal adult man who turns into a highly efficient killing machine whenever he's unconscious, a snarky lawful evil wine aunt, the mom of the group who deserves so much for dealing with the rest of them (or at least please give her the best cider you have), the only actually normal character who is unlucky by virtue of being in this party, and a luck pervert

[@consolescrub4031]

I feel like Prudence is the outwards face of Jane while Willowfine is the one who comes out on the trips to Disneyland and such. (Both are united by their painful honesty.) Such an interesting group, it'll be very exciting to see what they do next. I feel we have yet to experience the great potential of the passive-aggressive 'support' ring between Morven, Cressida, Lug and "it is what it is" Happen when something bad happens to a stranger while Willowfine actually tries to cheer them up.

[@Amaranthyne]

I feel like you could shorten Cressida’s to a wine Karen

[@darthspytalis1]

When the next season

[@thebpphantom]

"With the understanding that this is happening once because of this cool cinematic moment and will never become 'A Thing'." /applaud/

[@Verminatus]

This is absolutely the only way to do this as a spur of the moment thing.

[@eilidhdodd95]

Johnny has absolutely smashed it out of the park with the new setting, I have so many questions about everyone’s backstories and everything. Can’t wait to see what else Johnny has up their sleeves for the team and wine Aunt Cressida is my new favourite Ellen character. She’s such a good roleplayer

[@ashleewright6373]

When you're playing Wyrdwood and suddenly the message 'Invaded by dark spirit Egbert the Careless' pops up.

[@NemoTheShark]

Morven and Cressida both cast shade instead of Invisibility 🤣 Absolutely awesome season, sooo glad we're getting another - and more Deadlands YESSS! I literally screamed at the reveal 😅🎉

[@Mary_Studios]

Morven and Cressida are either going to kill each other out of annoyance of the other or are going to become friends and judge the rest of the party.

[@HTee03]

Robin not getting any honey broke my heart 😭

[@backstreetcuttie2995]

I know, they better get him some Honey soon it I'm pretty sure there will be a riot in the comments. Poor dear sweet Robin has more than earned a bit of honey... I mean..Cressida or Morven could have easily got some while invisible

[@dominateeye]

@@backstreetcuttie2995 Choosing to believe that Wyrdwood Season 2 will open with some ominous event happening that we will come to understand over the course of the season and then it transitions into a pool of yellow liquid that is then disturbed by a Robin hand scooping up and shoveling honey into his mouth

[@dee...]

Justice for Robin

[@icklew6085]

Chiming in, just to voice my agreement that this new series far surpassed my expectations. The Oxventurer's Guild got me into D&D and shall forever have a place in my heart, but I cannot wait for the next series Johnny has dreamt up and seeing this new band of miscreants ruin all thier well thought through plans.

[@conlon4332]

I was confused for longer than I should have been by "thier", it's such an obvious typo of "their". But yes! I've loved Wyrdwood so much, can't wait for the next season! It's so much fun and I love Johnny as DM! I came across Oxventure with the amnesia two-shot, that was so much fun but I love Wyrdwood even more! Do you think Johnny will be DM for the next series? I know they're not in all of them.

[@dominateeye]

@@conlon4332 Oxventure settings tend to keep the same DM, so you should expect Johnny to be at the helm of Wyrdwood Season 2, definitely. Deadlands Season 2 looks to be the next series that will be debuting, and Andy was the Marshal for that Season One, so he'll almost certainly reprise that role there.

[@Neriadea]

Lug being like 'are you doing a human sacrifice? don't do thaaaat

[@donkthekongjr4670]

Deadlands season 2?????? Literally my favourite oxventure campaign!!!! I can't wait to see all of them again!

[@911couple5]

I’m with you lol. Johnny and luke are both incredible dms but Andy was by far my favorite. Plus I just love anything with monsters and guns

[@torgranael]

BitD was my favourite, but I can't see that making a return with how it ended. Deadlands is a close second place however, so I'm also hyped.

[@donkthekongjr4670]

I just hope they keep the original intro - it was so iconic

[@ShakaarGaleed]

Coincidentally, I've been listening to that very campaign on the podcast lately. Glad to see it returning.

[@LiquidAwesomePersonified]

Honestly, i think my favourite so far is probably blades in the dark - pretty sure mike ended that series with a kill count of like 12 and everyone else had a kill count of like 1 or zero.

[@tomgymer7719]

Can we all appreciate the Cinderella story that Milk Maid had. She married the local Lord! That's a catch!

[@crankycat3026]

Noo, I'm not ready for season 1 to be over! And with such a cliffhanger. Johnny has done an excellent job at creating this folk horror world with truly creepy enemies, like the white-cloaked Superior and intriguing characters such as Poor Man. I love the new cast of characters, and I can't wait to find out more about their backstories. Also, more Deadwood! Yeeee- haw!

[@N.BR500]

Morvin: “I GOTTA A JAR OF ASH! I GOTTA A JAR OF ASH!”

[@backstreetcuttie2995]

Omg I didn't even think of that 😂😂😂. And poor Robin is going to be soo confused...but I think that is just his usual state of existence at this point

[@DannyStrickland-g9k]

1:10:02...Cressida..."Did you know they were already dead?" Johnny pauses, turn his head and silently breaks the fourth wall with an impish grin. Chef's kiss !!

[@aquelegabriel]

Incredible finale to an incredible season! The original oxventure dnd was so funny in a chaotic way, very "sandboxy" kind of roleplay. And I still miss those characters and their shenanigans. But I also loved this more story-driven game, it's so interesting!! Congratulations Johnny for this amazing world building! ALSO, I'm VERY excited for the season two of deadlands. Andy did an awesome job with that, his NPC's were so creepy and scary. The first Horseman was so easy to fear and despise, a GREAT villain. The voices Andy does are so good. Can't wait for more of it. And, yet, even being so excited for your next adventures, I'll miss wyrdwood so much. Hope season two is soon. Love all of you!

[@nobodyfamousX]

I feel like they had to retire the old crew. Those videos worked well when they were part of the outside Xtra/Xbox channels. Now that they made it's own channel they need these more curated narratives to find new viewers without the baggage of all the crazy in jokes that had accumulated since it started.

[@CrimBlack]

From the mind of Merilwen's meat grinder comes the sequel.... Cressida's bone shatterer!

[@backstreetcuttie2995]

I mean technically we already had Merilwen's bone grinder when it came to that battle royal with the skeletons

[@sambridgett]

"You can't see my opinion, it's invisible" really caught me off guard. 😂 Fantastic series, I've absolutely loved this setting and character line-up.

[@thelbs6500]

"It's folk horror, not Animal Crossing!" really made me laugh - thanks, Johnny! 😂

[@AmberFrmThVaultGaming]

I want to see what Johnny could do with folk horror animal crossing now.

[@ApetureTestSubject]

What a fantastic season. I am intrigued and fascinated by The Poorman. I love all these characters, especially Robin. And I really am looking forward to what comes next. And more Deadlands!!! Can't wait!

[@aquelegabriel]

It always impresses me how Andy can create funny backstories for Robin out of the blue. The honey bit was SO GOOD. When Robin finally struggled to get control back because Robin love honey so much was, like, really good in explaining the character in a deep way, while also making one of the best jokes of the season.

[@justinbrazeal4983]

I loved this season! The Wyrdwood was on point! But I must say, I am STOKED for Deadlands Season 2!

[@J4Cinema]

This season has been in top form from start to finish. I was eager to meet everyones new characters and this world from the announcement of the OxVenture Guilds retirement, but I didn’t expect to love everyone and everything just as much as the OGs so quickly. I can’t wait for season 2 already and what you all have down the line for our new hero’s!❤

[@MrMessyy]

Johnny absolutely knocked it out of the park in this season, I hope they feel so chuffed to have made this incredible setting! Also, Deadlands season 2? You spoil us! ❤️

[@RetroHQ]

Loved Wyrdwood, looking forward to the next season. The folk horror meets DnD vibe is refreshing, and the story telling and pacing is excellent! Just don’t keep us waiting too long, please… 😂

[@AngelBeatYunara]

What an ending to the first season! Gods I love Wyrdwood and the entire party.

[@BennyP1985]

Praise Cadence…

[@timogul]

Excellent work all, and kudos to Andy for being able to swap between characters so fluidly.

[@nobodyfamousX]

It helps that the characters are polar opposites

[@timogul]

@@nobodyfamousX Yeah, but they are also very unique, they aren't just "good Andy and bad Andy," Robin has an entirely different dialect and is always coming out with those goofy homespun jokes.

[@JoePlinkelton]

Wellity wellity well, now we have to wait. Johnny stepped up their Narrative Style exceptionally well! I loved it! The Sound effects have been great for that as well! And the Suspense of the Envelope Rolling got me every time!

[@emilyhill7622]

I stumbled across the 1st episode of Wyrdwood one day and have been engrossed ever since. And then you tell me these are seasons?!?! How long must I wait for season 2?? 😢

[@griffinraynor8425]

Awesome finale, folks! I've really enjoyed this setting and the horror a lot - that Superior boss fight in particular was super cool. Happen is my standout favorite of these characters so far but they're all so great. I love the heightened level of d&d combat everyone is doing. Super excited to see next season! And oh my gosh, Deadlands!!! Such a cool teaser, I'm super excited to see the gang again :D

[@LegendaryTalesandTrails]

Sad season 1 already ended. Beyond happy that Deadlands is making a return.

[@bugwandis]

Fun series, thanks everyone for their excellent contributions. Wasn't sure how I'd take to this cos funny is more my thing, but it was engaging and I was sat waiting most Friday nights. *SPOILER* . . . . Luke always having the star crossed romance

[@merepseu]

This one didn't try to kill him so that's an improvement.

[@KingChrono]

@@merepseuyet, didnt try to kill him yet.

[@ColonelHazard]

@@KingChrono that would be extremely unlucky if it occurred. Praise Cadence.

[@GuyThompson-u3i]

Can we have a Robin Oatcake anecdotes book please, for charity or something ideally, I'd buy it

[@ColonelHazard]

Next charity single needs to be about Robin's foibles and mundane misadventures.

[@loganberry32]

I absolutely love how snarky Morven is. And I love Jane’s characters (Prudence and Willowfine)

[@ApesWithEgos]

Very well done, Johnny et all. I am liking the rotation of series. Happy to be headed back to Deadwood. Curious if they'll every play the Masquerade...

[@KakumeiNHi]

Masquerade with Jane as a GM would mostly definitely be amazing 😮

[@EavingOLarkin]

Both sad that this season of Wyrdwood is over and excited to see the tease for Deadwood. Brilliant work all!

[@jessfx.cosplay]

What a fantastic finale to an incredible new world and story. Also beyond excited to see Andy dm deadlands again I literally squealed

[@ethanlappin]

I love that Robyn/Morven is basically living a fantasy version of Memento at times, suddenly coming to in the middle of a precarious situation with no choice but to quickly work out what's happening and what to do

[@ComHop]

Was Mike confusing their session for a Scooby-Doo episode? The sudden unmasking and expecting a full confession seems very Scooby-Doo.

[@backstreetcuttie2995]

Whenever Mike plays D&D, I feel as though he is just bringing out his inner Scooby Doo, and three stooges with Egbert

[@zakiNBG]

ned more stuff to watch. started to watch your DnD campains 2 or 3 months ago, and binge watched everything on the channel now. can't wait for the next campain

[@RecyllandHyde]

Fantastic first season and cannot wait for more Wyrdwood. But also….. YEE HAW MORE DEADLANDS HECK YESSSSSSSSS

[@KaneA87]

I wish you guys could just do an episode every 2wks continuously, like High Rollers or Natural Six. Loved the show, and I'm looking forward to more Deadlands

[@Speilbilde]

Morven when Lug makes moves: i love how we make desicions as a team Morven: explodes womans head without consulting the team I love her. If she doesn't get my boy Robin some honey next season, there will have to be consequences, surely.

[@SolaScientia]

The amount of sass they're giving Johnny at the start brings back the vibes of their original characters for a moment. Willowfine asking about pamphlets. Lug giving all kinds of sass like Corazon would have. Morven just being done with them all and doing that, followed by the incredulous expressions on Cressida's and Johnny's faces had me laughing so hard I had to briefly pause. "How did this fire start?" "Tinder." That delivery sent me into a coughing fit from laughing. Oh god, now Morven is trying to gaslight the brown hoods. I love that Robin causes as many facepalms as Morven, just for different reasons. The white hooded superior transforming (sort of) reminds me of the werewolves in Bloodborne, just minus the fur such. Not good either way. The Poor Man gives even more eldritch vibes than before, but I guess the fae folk are eldritch-y in nature anyway. Can't wait to see who's holding the orb. Holy shit. Deadlands season 2! Yes please!!! I cannot wait for it.

[@alexharrison2743]

Firstly, absolutely loved this finale, and my extreme curiosity at what Johnny's original plan was, means I'm going straight over to the OxClub Patreon! Secondly, Johnny's description of how the Shimmering Lady feels to touch, genuinely brought tears to my eyes (and again now just thinking about it) with how ethereally beautiful it was... Finally, Robin's heartwrenchingly endearing "Did you get any honey?" was the *perfect* line to end this season on - massive kudos to Andy for that inspired in-character improv, and to Johnny for so swiftly recognising that as the perfect note on which to end. I'm going to miss these characters and this setting SO much

[@turtleplop4901]

Enjoyed this season, really appreciate how Johnny has reined in magic or at least created a cost to prevent it all becoming totally broken..

[@yanntardif1665]

Poor Ellen's "oh my god" at 10:49

[@Icam_here]

what a great way to end the first season, such a chaotic start and a wonderful ending not sure what was sadder, the story with Happen and his fiance or Robin not getting any honey

[@iainperkins2085]

Sitting here wishing that we'd get more Blades In the dark and then half way through Johnny makes a clock...I guess I'll just wait until Wyrdwood warps into Blades lol Edit: Also, for the gaseous form trick, I'd remind the player where they are trying to appear from- the skull and behind teeth. This means you receive any damage your trying to inflict too.

[@abeingofpureenergy]

This season has maybe been my favorite ttrpg live play! Everyone knocked it out of the park, but special mention to Johnny for crafting a gnarly folk horror setting that has me itching to run one of my own, and to Robin, and his baguette.

[@dodgyrhubarb457]

Lug went all Egbert there in the beginning.

[@Derixyleth]

#HoneyForRobin Also, Johnny, I know you said in one of your streams that we should just borrow the system, but I still really want a full campaign book with all the monsters and the full magic system (with all your cards because while I could come up with interesting things, it wouldn't feel right). And lastly, y'all are fantastically entertaining and I love you all! I can't wait for next season!

[@dominateeye]

Luke wrote a tabletop RPG book himself called Gravity Rip; if Johnny didn't want to put the whole thing together themselves, they could probably get at least some formatting tips from Luke

[@kainschilde209]

Excellent series, guys. Everyone was on point with their characters. And Johnny? Wow. Also: DEADLANDS SEASON 2!!! F yeah!

[@masondeross]

15 damage one time for a permanent level 1 spell slot is a pretty good trade for any level, but especially a level 5 ranger who has like 2 level 1 spell slots.

[@masondeross]

Oh, ranger has more slots than I realized. I thought they'd have fewer because they don't get their first spell slot until level 2 instead of starting like other caster classes. I have never played one.

[@ColonelHazard]

@@masondeross the point still stands that for a half-caster character, an extra spell slot is a huge boon. Could only be better for a Warlock :D

[@aprilhoy4010]

So good, and so grossly unfair that the season is already over! I need more of this world and these characters!!

[@thundercookie3214]

I did not watch chapter 7 because I wanted to watch the finale in one big swoop. No regrets. It was amazing! You all put together a wonderful season and kudos to Johnny for the setting. I am a coward and really not good with horror settings, but Wyrdwood was just the right amount of spooky for me. I am looking forward to seeing what season two brings and in the meantime, I shall eagerly anticipate the beginning of 2025 and our return into the Weird West!

It feels like a more mature and grounded campaign but still has the fun and whimsy that we love in Oxventure. Johnny has done such a beautiful job with the world and the setting, it’s so exciting to see them create a world that feels so uniquely Johnny, I genuinely can not wait for more! It’s been such an exciting watch ❤

[@NosamTheWise]

The second Johnny said the cultists were trying to do a sacrifice I was like “it’s the shimmering lady isn’t it they’re gonna try and kill her”

[@Mary_Studios]

I had wondered the previous episode if the cult had something to do with the disapperance of the shimmering lady but I completly forgot about it this episode.

[@green_dragon_knight]

What a great season! Spooky but not going too far into horror to be very scary or uncomfortable with lots of jump scares etc. I’m glad it’s still got silly bits and comedy there too. I’ve enjoyed getting to know all the new PCs and getting more lore about the setting. I can’t wait for season 2!
