Rave Reviews | Skill Check S1E2

The gang goes to a rave and fills a man, consoles a robot, and kidnaps two kings to get a car battery.

Featuring Charlie, Ryan, Drew, Matt, Danny, Caleb, Chase, Chelsey, and Aaron

[@pemo01]

Missed opportunity for Shark to name his last hitting attack "CASE CLOSED" ahaha

[@Erikgf]

i love how for the most part chelsey is pretty quiet but never misses a chance to fuck with Foray

[@TobyPiller]

They’re all so rude too him😂

[@NegaTimeYT]

@@TobyPillerhe deserves it.

[@Monadic646]

Is this guy not even their friend in real life? Seems like they all hate him personally for no reason lol

[@Crazytreepig15]

@@Monadic646I think they’re all just messing with him. When he went quiet, him and Chelsea were laughing about it

[@facemonkeys]

@@TobyPillerhe’s literally ruining the game. My man Caleb is getting so furious every time he’s not the main character his eyes are literally twitching

[@animalcrossingRaiyna]

Charlie's character is so good for essentially being a joke character. Seven, Hugh and Shark are my favorite characters so far.

[@zachpullara5048]

Yeah, I think Sevens my favorite

[@storystrider]

Vested Skillcheck DM here - Stay tuned for episode 3 when we get some backstory bombs from Hugh!

[@Azim1019]

Yeah, but I would also have Hemp in that list too

[@PeefSpogdarSonofPeef]

Shark is an absolute treat and I'd say Hemp is in my top 3 for sure

[@mauricioperez6424]

​@@zachpullara5048Se7en fucking rules

[@xszefox4188]

Hemp Pumbo is such a fun character and the person (I don't remember the name) role-plays him so damn good

[@tyehl8831]

aaron

[@tylerholder8222]

The characters are great but the DM carries the creation of this story pretty awesome to see someone so good at story telling especially when I’ve never played d&d

[@storystrider]

Vested Skillcheck DM here - Thank you so much for your kind words, you've made my week!

[@Choooooooooch]

the dm is also super handsome

[@coreynj]

Most people have lost all respect for him due to massive controversy that happened, but if you can overlook that and want to hear the best DM probably in DnD history, look up Arcadum.

[@Jquezzie]

this isnt arcadum@@coreynj

[@bamlosers7795]

​@@storystrider bro, you are not him lmaooo

[@Sklen34]

It kinda became a little convoluted towards the end, but was a very good episode. Also, Caleb toned down on the whole mcs thing, which lightened the mood

[@dogekingchris2190]

I still don’t get why people are so pressed about that. I also don’t see how he’s acting like a main character. He’s playing his character. It does annoy me that he interrupts the other players sometimes, but the other players are also annoyingly quiet apart from hugh, hemp, and shark.

[@Sklen34]

@@dogekingchris2190 it has been some time, but from what I remember, it was mainly on the first episode

[@PenguinInVagas]

@@dogekingchris2190Hypocritical of you to not understand why people are pressed about him playing his character then turn around and say others playing their character is annoying

[@DavinMiltan]

Can we have the map always visible? If you have one for the situation. I think it'll help us visualise the situation a lot better. Thanks for the show

[@Blafina]

I would like this as well

[@anon-lw6rn]

ditto

[@yournotthatguy4459]

me 3

[@GwainSagaFanChannel]

Agreed

[@RadicalEdward_115]

Yes

[@bradyengland9037]

Can't wait to see if Foray keeps his 24 hour no speaking promise lmao

[@GwainSagaFanChannel]

Silent protagonist

[@ShadowknightEX]

Being that he has been doing a Nicholas Cage impression (albeit maybe by accident) i will now imagine his role in Willy’s Wonderland

[@carlosbeltran9059]

Love the intro and how quickly the crew has found their footing in this. Can't wait to see how long this Skill Check journey goes!

[@tamale_tamali]

seven is an absolute fave for me. loving this series, keep it comin!

[@cosmichooligan]

This is great. And I love how everyone is in their own kinda costume . Major fan of this and this series actually Inspired me to start d&d. Thanks guys

[@raphaelzakhm7310]

Welcome to the game! Always good to see new people entering in one of the best hobbies in the world!

[@AhermitsView]

Fall to my knees "My godhood"

[@nolanhowell7518]

GREAT JOB DM! Keeping everything on pace and allowing for goofiness is so good here. Cant wait for episode 3!

[@lucaswood7166]

Yo the check is so skilled in this series!

[@Felipe-go6vl]

I’ve never sat and watched or played dnd before so this is all completely new to me. I have loved this, I think the curator really helps brings this all together and keeps it interesting

[@lucasguillou9741]

I love this series so much, I’ve started getting interested in DND recently and this is so sick

[@eduardocabrita2862]

Way better than the first episode! Everyone is getting better at their roles and more confident in their characters. Caleb is learning how to co-op bit by bit, druid and the bard are starting to have their own moments in the game and two amazing character dynamics are being born between the paladin and the wizard and between de barbarian and the rogue.

[@majorkrizpy9939]

I like Calebs Character NGL.

[@weavelcow9596]

Love the personalities from the players in this, a wide range of players makes these super fun to watch.

[@ColossalNakk]

This is so imaginative for other people to use on their campaigns. Love the storytelling guys!

[@pedrostormrage]

2:02:14 "I have a weight capacity of 180 lbs" So Seven is gonna be the perch for everyone they manage to recruit (it's kinda amazing the party size increased by 2 on this episode alone). A goblin weighs about 50 lbs, so there's still capacity to recruit two more of those.

[@brianenriquez5581]

“Explaining the nuances of Borat” lmao

[@MrRevash]

great improvements on the roleplay from every cast member! again, gotta love Seven even more ahhahaha

[@khasethor]

The fairy fire gave you guys advantage besides the fog cloud, but I guess it would not matter. Anyway, awesome content, I'm already so invested in your characters and the story!

[@Afatdragon]

I was thinking the same thing 😂 I thought the fog might imply disadvantage and was thinking it was going to be amazing senrgy but they immediately kill it anyway 😂

[@YellowishOnion]

Charlie's dry attitude is the funniest... Also seven is the most on character here!

[@AKCDawn]

Watching this is gonna become a weekly routine for me, I already know it.

[@Carlos-db7up]

I am really loving this. the entire cast is lovable and funny, really creative and lovable. Keep it up!

[@lordopjp4526]

dude was so flabbergasted that goblin spoke common he broke character

[@user-pm7sy1dc5n]

whenever you guys plan on actually doing it live it would be nice to flash some art done by the community at the end of the session. its really cool to see what some people can do(sometimes capturing a shot from something in the sesseion within the session) and gets everyone involved, and a nice easy cooldown content

[@jaguarsmith4257]

There's so much passive aggressiveness between Caleb and the DM 😂

[@sinlessdeath4536]

This is so good and well crafted but will we ever see Charlie explode someone by expanding from there innereds

[@rarestparrot547]

He did in this episode

[@jacobneal8221]

This campaign is giving me borderlands 2 vibes and I'm digging it

[@eckolecko2130]

What y'all did to B-Ass was an utter violation 💀

[@storystrider]

Haha I'm also partially to blame. I named a character "bass". After that, it was all destiny.

[@althafpm645]

​@@storystrider just started my binge watch of this series, if your the DM your doing a freaking amazing job!!

[@Num1koolaidman]

I’ve been enjoying this like a lot of other people! I hope at some point Charlie realizes he told the sentient hand they could be friends, yet forgot about him the next turn 🤣😭

[@matheusgomes5188]

Hey guys if i can suggest something. I think it would be great if you guys uploaded the episodes on Spotify too. I think a lot of people would be interested in having that there. In my case i always listen to podcasts while working so spotify always works better than youtube for those times you cant pay full attention to the video itself.

[@SamJohnson-q8l]

Charlie is to this team like Wolverine is to the X men, shouldn't be the main character but as far as we're concerned is.

[@joaoluiz6415]

This is the most fun show I've seen the entire year, and we're barely started. Spectacular all around

[@beancheez2905]

The goblin voices sound like Gummy the goblin from Adventure Time lol

[@ooo2birish]

"Don't forget the syphilis!" XD

[@user-pm7sy1dc5n]

who wants to bet caleb forgets and never uses that phone call?

[@Afatdragon]

I love how we immediately forget the fairy fire 😂

[@senseikirai561]

A lot of improvement from caleb❤❤❤

[@mistasp0t]

Ima need this to come out twice a week ngl

[@Evanz111]

Love how throughout this series, Charlie is seemingly living his best anime life, like when he persuaded his enemy’s heart to stop beating in episode one. Teenage Charlie would be so happy.

[@ManOfSteel6153]

Loving the new series! By far loving the synergy the crew has, and can't wait to see more. Favorites so far are Foray, Hugh, and Shark lol

[@maybeNaCl]

Love the series! Keep up the super amazing work!

[@DeathTK]

I’m loving this series

[@HeroesNFools]

i love how they used prestidigitation in all the wrong ways except the one use its used for al the time, cleaning up a murder scene XD

[@dannysanchez9140]

Ok is Caleb playing Foray? Because the problems other people see with him is literally just him playing his character.

[@zoso1up]

I do think he is being judged to hard in the comments,My personal criticism is I feel like he's not playing like a cleric.That said this is a good series,the good thing about DND is that everyone would play so differently this is a good start too a unique campaign

[@DFiBMusic]

The guy in the green hat is so good. Hemp. I am a DM. His balance of serious and goofy rp is really great. I love his little details he gives that don't disrupt the flow of the story.

[@Jeremy73950]

Hella excited for these very week!

[@aaronasissoard1098]

I wish I had friends to learn DnD with 😂 these characters are so great

[@eggboi7182]

Seven is my favorite. Even though I love Hugh. He's just so attractive I can't.

[@charlesfrazier2371]

Yea, Hugh gets me throbbin’ too ❤

[@l3xubuss]

I need this twice a week guys I’m really loving this

[@pawots6448]

I am loving the series so far!

[@emperortime4380]

I could be wrong but I think RAW, Dissonant Whispers would have made the golem run. It doesn’t impose the Frightened condition. It’s wording is that they just run away if they fail a Wis save. Also doesn’t require a shared language. It wouldn’t have done damage though since the golem has psychic immunity.

[@biliboom1]

What an amazing dungeon master

[@Burnt_Sock]

S E V E N looks the best in my opinion

[@sinlessdeath4536]

I am so happy Charlie exploded a man, I love this, I am so happy, I want more, this is entertainment at its finest

[@TruFire710]

The “wooooo” at the end lmfao😂

[@SomeDude096]

All hail the King of The Road!

[@Interrogame]

that opening is epic af fr

[@lilwhitemage]

Awesome! Loving this already so much

[@colinschmidt5534]

Only seeing 44k on Charlie’s video is wilddd 44k views is still crazy but if this was on main channel it’d have over a mil easy

[@MrRevash]

loved the costumes in this one

[@lightlymedicated]

the murder is hobo-ing so fast it's only episode 2 (i love it)

[@streetvybzswag1.067]

King of the road is basically a new gen Isekai protag

[@AMerrickProductions]

Bro the whole scene of B Ass killed me!!!

[@AMerrickProductions]

Hemp is my absolute favorite! Soo funny!!!

[@pinkgoth6]

shark cosplay is just nostalgia critic

[@CrimsonHeart3]

I think the names need to be reflashed every once in a while, 7 players names is tricky to remember We need concept art for dm characters, I have trouble picturing what's happening when hes talking

[@CCtheRapperman]

Not having an imagination sounds depressing af lmao

[@zappvz]

The Seven cosplay is so dope!

[@finestcustard5647]

What was the exchange at 1:13:27 all about? I don’t know much about D&D so I’m confused lol. What was the DM about to call Caleb out on?

[@storystrider]

Hi Vested Skillcheck DM here - I didn't realize he was doing a bit at first - it was a callback I think to an earlier moment between the two of them. I thought he was saying the rules state that he can't talk when it's not his turn but quickly realized that's not the case. Combat gets a little strange sometimes when you think about the fact that the whole round happens at the same time within the same 6 seconds but there's a turn order so I generally try to be flexible on talking during battles especially because that's some of the best one liners (literally everything shark says in battle is a perfect example). Once I realized he was being silly I dropped it.

[@Evanz111]

@@storystriderThanks for reading the comments and explaining that! I’ve been following this show but missing a lot of the nuance in mechanics and interactions, so it was cool to see you here replying to comments!

[@dominicsizemore5618]

Seven is my favorite will there be merch??😅

[@Red2332]

If Caleb wasnt here this would be even better lol but it's great regardless. Excited to keep watching and catch up.

[@lenardEkko]

idk if this changes throughout the vid but the ambient music is a tiny bit too loud

[@TheBelac58]

The Caleb half joking about it and half meta gaming for real really kills the vibe

[@Pandacuisine]

'D"#" is this one, right?' It still cuts me after decades.

[@t3mpo785]

intro was fire 🔥

[@-electrochapati-5501]

W caleb such an improvement from last ep

[@vistins]

I really love these and I can see some people starting to bring their characters to life. Once everyone is nice and loose and a little more comfortable I think the role play from this group could be fantastic 💯

[@kirbbeans9583]

tbh chase has the perfect voice for a robot like seven

[@luizaugusto6532]

Foray gang is out here man lets go

[@gorwooken9338]

Should’ve yelled, “Motion to Dismiss!”, as Shark was axing the golem in the crotch.. 😭😭😭

[@LeoGreer]

Amazing stuff, bud!

[@Minecraftondvd]

I feel like it would have been better if we figured out what was scaring off the goblins rather than it be told by us

[@COOCOO11642]

Will this be available to listen to/ watch on spotify?? So I can listen at work...

[@alext6933]

Not including Andrew hug bees in this is very unfortunate

[@spyt6353]

Holy that intro is fire :D also i would appriciate if there werent that many cuts, i know sometimes things just go nowhere and some jokes dont land, or maybe foyle talks too much, but it kind of brakes immersion for me. Obviously it might be just me maybe people dont have the same sentiment :D

[@PeefSpogdarSonofPeef]

Wish Danny (Valar) would participate more.

[@laag5887]

Loving the series! Would love to see more stats like health in combat, tho.

[@unidentified2117]

Gonna catch up eventually lol episode 2 hwre we go 💪🏽

[@jetstreamsam2607]

Would have loved if they defeated the golem with a rising revengeance rules of nature style.

[@epicthief]

Coming back after the stream to 👍 and comment

[@TristanSoupListan]

can't wait to watch this banger

[@leocrino5144]

hemp is the goat

[@ShadowknightEX]

So am I the only one who thinks Velure looks like the Gigachad meme.

[@thebookofeli1105]

I love this, but god damn Caleb makes this so awkward and tense for everyone. Dudes got massive main character syndrome and the whole "uhm actually" personality thay just sucks the fun out of things. Like no one likes a rule nazi, and no one needs passive aggressive litte fits when things arent going his way. I really hope the DM has a good talk about it to him.

[@CrimsonHeart3]

Agreed but I also feel the DM has made some mistakes, caleb just sucks at expressing it in a non hostile way maybe

[@themanhimself5650]

the YT experience is just as good

[@omarpedrin5686]

i save a special day to watch the extended LOTR movie because is to large and now im here watching the season casualy

[@AnArmadillo]

I love this so much lmao
