Clear & Present Danger 🎁 | Oxventure D&D | Holiday Special | Live at MCM Birmingham 2023

The festive season has arrived in Geth, and bellows of pain are ringing out across the landscape. Prudence, Corazon, Egbert, Dob and Merilwen realize too late that they have bitten off more than they can chew with this one... or is it the other way around?

Shout out to the camera operator for that quick zoom out to display the height of the lighting rig at 20:00 , loving your work

[@NicoleTheDodo]

Yeah that person was on task for us at home!

[@sirbrandalf7813]

Super helpful, give that man a raise!

[@WizzyMcWizzyton]

18:46 Similarly, that quick pan is beautiful.

[@Carrrnage]

Corazon's "You owe me rent" line is genuinely one of my favourite in the entire Oxventure. Just pure Corazon.

[@MrMessyy]

I feel like a companion series is required where Johnny gets to debrief/decompress about the events of the latest session. A D&Debrief if you will. "Mage hand massage the back of its throat" probably needs to be unpacked

[@cosskkee4483]

i love the fact that egbert has had the crowbar brought up twice before this in previous adventures and still gets the same reaction of why do you have a crowbar

[@QuinnMallory-od1hw]

Crowbars are very handy things, never understood the reticule about Egbert having one, must be mike's favourite combat gaming weapon.

[@isabelleclavering4397]

Honestly, why WOULDN'T you have a crowbar?

[@timt5381]

I have a walking stick gorilla bar. It's great. Also holding 6kg of solid steel with a hooked end gives me a sort of confidence; it also wrenches stuff!

[@currentlyeatingpies1274]

This was certainly an event. I can't wait to see a giant skeleton decorating Necropolis on Sea.

[@matwetton]

how dare Johnny deny the return of Nudence

[@kyrothegreatest2749]

Her clothes couldn't melt if they weren't on to begin with

[@elizabethlougee6322]

I came to make this exact comment lol

[@SpectreRyder]

Give us Nudence!!

[@nahuelmat]

It's her battle form. In the inevitable fight against Liliana we'll get Nudence

[@BlackMoonHowls]

Artists, go.

[@ZRobertson91]

Johnny after realizing the giant will help fight Lilly Anna - "Oh no, the consequences. They're here again!"

[@QuinnMallory-od1hw]

It's not a whale, but like Jonah they pulled the kapper off. I look forward to the update, giant skeleton at necropolis on sea? Or flame grilled whoppers?

[@AngelBeatYunara]

"How did it go in the end?" "...Rectum."

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

At least on their way out they haven't encounter a Sphinxter blocking the last gate

[@ryadinstormblessed8308]

The tradition of Prudence forgetting she's a werebear continues...

[@wills9]

As is tradition. For Prudence's sake could you remind me, I mean her what eposide or general thing about that was.

[@WizzyMcWizzyton]

@@wills9If I remember, the werebear things was in High Moon, when she was but in Fast And The Furriest. It’s pretty simple really, she just turns (voluntarily) into a werebear on a full moon.

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

Right up there with Egbert forgetting he can smite, Dob forgetting Jack of All Trades is a thing, and Merylin forgetting she can turn into more things then a Cat, Bear, and Giant Octopus.

[@LeeDeeThe1]

@@SirStanleytheStumbler I think the Merylin thing, at least at the beginning, was intentional

[@daviddaugherty2816]

@@SirStanleytheStumbler She turned into a shark once. It was almost very bad.

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

I have to applaud Johnny's optimism- it really sounded like they were hoping that after entering the Giant's digestive system, the Oxventurers will choose to leave the same way they went in:) Happy holidays everyone!

[@SolaScientia]

Johnny knows them well enough to know that they were going to go inside the giant (I really didn't expect that even though I should have), but not so well as to not anticipate that everyone going go to go out that way.

[@mar_speedman]

To be fair, it was the only way out once the giant stood up. Going back out the mouth is one thing when it's lying down, but climbing up all those stomachs when the giant is walking is much harder

[@nudgificator]

Right? When they said "I legitimately didn't plan for this" I just thought 'well how *did* you expect them to get out of a giant?'

[@milese3620]

I assume they were hoping Sebastian would be used to fly them out like the eagles in LOTR

[@Joe90h]

Wow, I can't believe the payoff to Corazon's famous ball of magnesium he's had since the Oxventurer's guild began was so underwhelming!

[@QuinnMallory-od1hw]

Pirates do have cannon balls, so not a stretch? Now does he have a second one?

[@5t3phan]

I've got to say, props to Johnny for running this sort of adventure knowing full well the sort of jokes it would cause. Especially with a live audience! That takes guts!

[@torgranael]

They outright stated in the video that he didn't think it through. He had no idea they were coming until they it was too late. 🤣

[@lem0navalanche]

Hiya, small friendly reminder Johnny's pronouns are they/them ​@@torgranael

[@5t3phan]

@@torgranael I think that was probably in parts a joke, they've played with this bunch long enough to know what would come of it, especially considering they canned another idea for having too much potential for feet jokes.

Merry solstice everyone! This was, uh, this was quite the thing. Poor Johnny.

They only have themselves to blame. Seriously, how could they put someone into a stomach and not see where and how this would end?!

[@BlackMoonHowls]

Happy Hearth's Warming.

[@ericingraham5597]

Just thinking how different this would have ended if Prudence used her were-bear claws to open up a path out.

[@laterkater4213]

One of these days Jane is going to remember that Prudence is a werebear... Not today though. 🤣

[@phoenixcierebiej9763]

​@@laterkater4213Egbert will remember he has Misty Step first

[@daviddaugherty2816]

She could've done a sneaky bite attack on the way out, see what a giant werebear looks like.

[@neocyke]

As far as Jane is concerned, Prudence has a pointy sword, eldritch blast and that's it.

[@sabretoo]

Johnny's hair is looking especially lovely in this session

[@laterkater4213]

Johnny mentioned on their stream that they'll be filming a new Oxventure season next year. I wonder if we'll finally be returning to Necropolis on Sea? 🤣

[@nahuelmat]

They gotta deal with Liliana first. Maybe Dob can marry her?

[@wills9]

In their first Light Day episode they ate their enemies in a delicious Light Day feast. In this one they were consumed by their friend. The more things change the more they stay the same.

[@andrewbyrne2173]

I think your definition of friend, differs from mine!

[@BlackMoonHowls]

Happy Life Day.

[@dallydaydream]

I was already impressed by Johnny's idea to do a DnD take on "The Fantastic Journey", but Ellen's absolute genius play at the end just elevated it even further

[@Amaranthyne]

A true stroke of genius that played well into the joke of who was tastiest.

[@patrickj]

Can't wait for Oxventure to return with a full season :)

[@SolaScientia]

I feel like this is an extremely strange episode of The Magical Schoolbus. I really thought the giant had appendicitis based on where Johnny was indicating on their side. Did not expect multiple stomachs like a cow has, lol. I really should have known better than to have expected the Oxventurers not to go inside the giant. I love that they recruited Harko to go after all the Egbert clones. Johnny is so, so done with all their nonsense. I cannot wait to see how Johnny reworks things to take the giant into account. It's going to be hilarious and epic.

[@julienthijs1271]

If the giant dies, at least the imagery of a gargantuan skeleton next to a ravaged battlefield will be quite epic for the final

[@SolaScientia]

@@julienthijs1271 That would be so awesome. I really can't wait to see how Johnny writes the giant into the main arc.

[@flyingfork6]

Can't wait for this. My personal favourite dnd group

[@dee...]

Samezies

[@magley64]

Definitely my top 2... I really like Johnny's narrative/fun based approach to the game. Not being too married to the rules but also not letting things go completely crazy. My other favorite is high rollers. Where Mark Hulmes is much more strict about rules in comparison, but still creates a fun experience for the players. Their crossovers are among my favorites.

[@156football]

​@@magley64 interesting to hear! I love Johnny, and oxventure is easily my favorite, but my only issue is they never put the party in actual risk, in however many years he's never downed an adventurer, that's fine and great and fun, does high rollers tend to put the party in more danger? I'd love to check them out if so :) thanks for your recommendation!

[@workingclassk9]

​@@156footballVLDL DND is my other dnd fix (Viva la Dirt League). Theyre a kiwi group.

[@magley64]

@@156football the high rollers have definitely been in peril. Their last campaign was 190+ episode 5 year home brew adventure from level 2 to 20. I binged it in about 6 months. I fell in love with the characters and the players, and it was an emotional roller coaster. It's called Aerois. They have a new adventure they've started recently called Altheya. Do check them out.

[@dragonsword8247]

Of course, the "added log" refers to the tree trunk that was used for the battering ram and nothing more

[@catoninetales]

This one was weird but undeniably funny. Also, it doesn't feel like Christmas without the annual Giant's Large Intestine Bobsledding Event.

[@isaiahb605]

To be fair, Johnny gave the oxventures another piece to play with, and didn’t take his own previously mentioned advice from the video “7 ways your players will ruin you” (or some title like that).

[@ApesWithEgos]

Magic School Bus ain't got nothing on ya, Johnny.

[@_underscore_9271]

I still can't believe johnny really thought there wouldn't be issues with a vore session

[@nahuelmat]

A gift from La Vauche Mauve!

[@julienperin9956]

Johnny was gavis-conned out of that stomach situation

[@MerricMaker]

Thrill as the Oxventurerers (except for Prudence) get to fifth base with Harko the giant.

[@karichhoy]

Whelp this went "places" lol Poor Johnny 😂😂😂

[@Spytefull]

Ah yes. The Christmas vore episode. Jokes aside, this was a good session, always love myself an Oxventure!

[@kainschilde209]

The upper intestine is the small intestine, the lower intestine and colon are the large intestine. It goes by diameter.

[@torgranael]

Harko has his mouth wide open for the party. Space comes down and everyone on Geth have oxygen masks so they can breathe. Conclusion: The giant doesn't need to breathe. Also, the party need new masks since theirs have wrapped through Harko like he's a jewel on their existential necklace. Also, it's kinda funny that they were genuinely considering letting the party's clothes get eaten by acid, before realising how much NSFW fan art was about to flood Reddit if he said yes. That sudden panic says it all.

[@Storm0483]

Bold of them to assume that’s going to stop reddit or Tumblr from drawing what they want

[@causewhynot6485]

Made my day thank you I’ve missed oxventure so much

[@Icam_here]

great oxventure and poor Johnny. guess this a lesson in why you need to think about the exit plans your players might make

...Probably for the best nobody at the table remembered that magnesium is used as a laxative (specifically magnesium citrate is used in medical settings to clear the bowels before operations, apparently) And, honestly, I have absolutely no sympathy for Johnny here, this feels like it was a hell entirely of their own making - what did they think would happen?

[@StonyBlack81]

Johnny, you are absolutely amazing!!! I love all the adventures you come up with, and how the party manages to screw up each of them. Definitely the best dnd group out there. Love you all!!!

[@NivMizzet89]

This episode plot really is Johnny falling into their own trap, isn't it?
