Leboosh: "Even the flowers hang their head when it gets dark." Breathtaking session ya'll, *sobs in a pile of feels*

[@Kadarin187]

I felt Mace so much when Chuckles cast comprehend languages. That is the universal sigh of all DMs out there.

[@fading_echo1017]

That ending... Brought tears to my eyes. My heart is actually hurt by this man and now I need to wait longer to find out what happens next.

[@DJHardtune]

dandy actually wiping her tears once she noticed she was done for. that absolutely did it for me. rest in peace kavir as well, but man, that emotion just killed me!

[@ocktohpus6264]

Not Dandy having her Scarlet Witch moment. The tendrils of red light, the "you are meddling with powers you cannot comprehend" line... utter chills. And the act of desperation from Kavir... goodness MACE

[@ocktohpus6264]

OH NOOOOOO THE ENDING

[@jellyhappening1458]

You guys owe me financial compensation for this ending

[@CaseyShontz]

Us LoA viewers need to file a class action suit for emotional damages for this and Witchlight 41 & 46

[@dylancrouch273]

Mace is brutal

[@Noir-st4sx]

[@skurose4554]

This episode is the equivalent of getting witchlighted episode 41.... such an emotional roller coaster but we love that emotional roller coaster, Thank you Mace for such a great session and I can't wait to see what the future holds ❤

[@bowtiebazaar263]

ooof PTSD from Witchlight 41

[@Mightymajin]

No, I think this might be worse

[@ladytigri247]

Or episode 46 😢

[@CaseyShontz]

Oh no we got Witchlight 41’ed

[@austinbutcher8106]

Tht ain't dandy anymore thts the archon

[@maulbearbby]

What an amazing episode. I commented this on a previous video, but massive well done to Arya for creating a wonderful arc and characterisation for Kavir. Obviously we don't know what may happen in the future, but having this happen now felt so poetic and RIGHT, especially with the build up over the past episodes digging into his history and his final act of sacrifice, which was incredibly done in the spur of the moment. Masterful storytelling and acting from you all.

[@Gourdgon]

You’ve heard of getting Witchlight 41’d, now get ready for…🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 getting Stardust 10’d!!!!! I’m crying 👍

[@sleepyproduction7166]

I haven’t started with light yet, found this channel, started with icebound and immediately loved it, now I’m here and I keep hearing witch light campaign.

[@AzurePearl1996]

Witchlight 19'd for me

[@derptato959]

God damn the ending got me crying harder than any sad anime. RIP my guy. You were a great character.

[@hshkabnirraz]

🙏

[@Mightymajin]

And now between this and episode 41 of Witchlight, Icebound has become the lightheaded and less intense campaign

[@sleepyproduction7166]

I haven’t started witchlight yet, I started with icebound as my first introduction to DnD and this channel. What are you talking about? My favorite of that, Skrimm, has nearly died twice now and has 2 death roll saves left before he is out completely.

[@thomassomeone4868]

me, episode 7: wow leboosh and kavir’s friendship really makes me smile :) episode 10: “Even the flowers hang their head when it gets dark.” me: wow that was heart wrenching and I don’t know if I’ll recover :)

[@Hufflehotty]

"you can prepare all you want but you can never prepare for Micky" best quote ever during combat as Mace tries to go after his ship!

[@jordynf833]

Mace I'm a 23 year old man and that ending brought me to tears.. thank you for such an amazing story so far I can't wait to keep watching the rest that I've binged in 1 week

[@itz-Ender]

The ending kills me, but I love seeing a story where, for once, the heroes seem stuck, and lost. Bravo.

[@natepettit5788]

This is the best storytelling i have ever experienced. Great job to you all, and keep up the good work. RIP Kavir😢

[@tormoronic]

I can't believe how much psychic damage that I have taken this day, I need to lie down. Leboosh just cannot catch a break. So good, so so good, inspired characters and storytelling. STOP MAKING ME FEEL THINGS!! 😭

[@anamethian666]

There better be an animated version of this entire campaign. I'm willing to pay for that

[@BlizzardSnowMew]

While I agree and it would be super awesome, that would be on the order of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars given that there are 17 3-4 hour episodes.

[@KalebArts7965]

I wish, that would be amazing, this and Once Upon A Witchlight would be amazing animations

[@captainshiloh831]

y’all are CRIMINALS for that episode title i hope you know

[@ALoversRose]

They announced on stream what they were going to title it. I'm just as upset now as I was then.

[@FeyWyldPagan]

"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar." Wash, pilot of the Serenity

[@shadowstrikera5227]

Before watching: Man, this series is great. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the entire crew. After watching: Damnit. No, Kavir......😢

[@warmaster5214]

i know im a little late but can we talk about how chuckles has grown so much as a character going from haha im random to trying his best to save kavir and lebouche and actually like actually cant wait to get out of his ship to make sure they're alright

[@grammarkaiser8683]

I love that Chuckles knows what he is and that his state isn't necessarily a desirable outcome.

[@preciousangelwings]

omg.... that title was so accurate and yet mysterious and not even a contemplated idea of what it iluded to until you finish the whole session. My GOD!

[@alyn.m]

There were points in this episode where I was just whisper screaming at mace, literally begging for him not to hurt them anymore. This is hands down my favorite campaign I've seen. Just 10 sessions and I'm crying real tears over the the death of a party member. This is beautiful, all of you are doing amazing work.

[@ICE_MAN0826]

Mace: *Finally sees the chance to off chuckles with space battle* Chuckles: "NOT TODAY!" *Clown mischief stops attacks* Mace's inner Gideon: "CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKLLLLLLLLLLLLLLES!!!!" 😂😂😂😂

[@panicedtether3375]

I will say that Kavir was probably my favorite character in this campaign. Arya played him incredibly well and I hope we may get to see him on the channel again bc he is an absolutely fantastic actor

[@DannacusMaximus]

I am a 26 year old man, who listens to d&d podcasts whilst walking his dogs to pass the time. Mace and the crew had me in FLOODS of tears out in public 😂😭 So heart-wrenching and emotional, that ending cut deep, and my god, what beautiful storytelling! Im torn between listening to the next episode right away, and giving this episode the respectful break it deserves. Damn

[@DevilsDiceDm]

Gotta love the way the algorithm works. I was getting teary eyed at this beautiful ending and as I was about to look for ep 11 the first video in my recommended was a compilation of tumbler memes and a cake that said "you've aged"

[@Dinahsaurs_]

This episode wrecked me. Hoping we'll see Casey and Arya back again soon, somehow.

[@nina8020]

Absolutely love Stardust! The emotions and the way that you portrayed them in this episode made my heart (and me) cry. Amazing job!!! This was devastating, you will be hearing from my lawyers, thank you ❤

[@jonoroba1]

I'm not crying, I just have sand in my eyes

[@colorcodedcoral533]

I love how often the players will say something and then Mace will just make it canon. Like the oranges and cashews thing. It was such a small comment off to the side, but Mace immediately made it part of Auggie's character. Amazing.

[@NirvashTypeTHEANGEL]

1:34:00 I was watching this after hearing about Roosterteeth being shut down, then Chuckles made the Puma reference from Red vs Blue. I both laughed and cried. Damn it Mikey.

[@presentlycrescent]

Me: wow, Kavir is my favorite character! He’s so cool and awesome! Me, finishing this episode: *hey LoA, what the fuck*

[@BrinIoca]

I just started loving him this is so fucked

[@ladytigri247]

Ahh clever with the title … just a fair warning to everyone , make sure you are strapped in and have plenty of tissues for this episode. You’re in for one heck of a ride ! It’s a show stopper you will not forget ! 💔😉

[@nyxmyers8734]

When are we going to get Rhapsody merch? I want a Pyke and Rett star crossed lovers shirt! Mace thank you for an amazing fun campaign to watch, I am loving this.

[@DanielYoung-x4r]

Know what would have been a real tear-jerker moment? When Kavir finds the drawing on Raesh (sp), he turns to R's mom & she says "do you remember when I had you pose so I could draw you three?" "Yes, I do, you could only get us to stop our space-dune-horseplay when you told Raesh that your drawings may be the only things you leave behind." "And then -tears up- I outlived him. -collects herself- After that, he decided to learn to draw. The first thing he shared with anyone was a recreating of that drawing, and he gave it to Soraiah (sp). He made a second recreation, intending to give it to you, but you had some silly fight before he gave it to you. -she hands a more rudimentary version of the drawing to Kavir- Soraiah was buried with her copy. I found THIS in his home this morning -hands Kavir a detailed drawing of an aged-up version of three teens in the same poses/expressions- It was his last drawing, and I think you should have it." -lookng at what could have been, Kavir has a total emotional breakdown & curls into a ball, which Laboosh carries back to The Rhapsody-

[@averyalderink6206]

just wanted to let yall know the joy I felt when I realized you were doing another space combat! I absolutely loved the first one and definitely got inspired to add it into my homebrew im running! RAHHHH SPACE COMBAT RAAAHHHH

I hate sand, it's coarse, it's grainy, it makes you sad😢 This was great guys,❤

Mace: you are hit by a space lazer Leboosh: is it attempting to grapple me? I love this campaign

[@erixouther]

Rett is the bass, Pyke is the sax, LeBoosh and Kavir are the guitars, Dandy is the synth, and Chuckles is the BPM

[@satyrsauce]

Watching this just before the SDR stream today... oh sweet, fresh pain

[@Simp-34]

This is actually the best thing I’ve ever watched. Everyone is so funny and amazing like I don’t normally cry at shows but I was genuinely sobbing at this. like damn😭

[@nearlytuna]

OOf that title choice is.. *chefs kiss*

[@TheMuseForge]

No matter how much you try to prepare yourself for it it just tears your heart out. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻

1:56:00 Chuckles is such a consistent trump card XD.

[@csquare750]

(As the camera pulls back at the end of the last scene) A gentle guitar arpesio starts playing, then a violin joins in and a man starts singing "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas.

[@soup1962]

I had to drop my project and rewind the video just to be sure, but somehow Derek counted out movement spaces in time with the background music cymbals. 2:54:30

[@dannywingo7108]

Kavir has become my favorite, I sure hope nothing bad happens to him

[@branflakestheDM]

Mace evil laughs and takes off his mask. He's actually George RR Martin.

[@Zanzoltan]

I just found you all last week. I am now watching as I work and laughing and having a great time. Each time you talk, you make me really want to look for a group to play old D&D. Great stream :D EDIT: I'm here, 4 months after. I already saw all episodes from "Once upon a Witchlight", and some specials, and I come back here, to see it entirely, as I'm now on day with this campaign too :D EDIT 2: I had forgotten the ending of this stream. Still hurts.

[@flamingarrow9502]

I didnt know i could gt emotional over a dnd video. Good job to the dm and players i can imagine all of this and its amazing.

[@jessicadurn276]

Mace, I love you for this. Mace, I also hate you for this. Well done, never do it again

[@harleytheno5583]

Me just vibing to all the Zuldazar music playing in the background ❤ This campaign has been an amazing ride so far. Keep it up, everyone!

[@boxturtlebruce6110]

The amount of star fox 64 reference in this series warms my heart

[@sobek1274]

I can safely say that this episode is the first to hit hard. That ending was absolutely amazing and so heartthrobbingly painful. Mace does an extremely good job at DM'ing and his stories paint the image in my mind clearly. Especially seeing how I listen to these while I am working. Keep up the amazing work Mace

[@MichaelCaswell-q5w]

For the second time in my life, something I have watched, has brought me to tears

Well done Mace, nice pulling off of the gloves

I could see the cast tearing up at this one but so was I. Kavir went our a hero, lets just hope we save our girl now.

Any time there's a space battle, my brain immediately starts to blast Ace Combat music; particularly a pirate metal version of "First Flight" from AC5 like a BALLER anime sequence.
