Stardust Rhapsody Ep. 3 | Sci-Fi D&D Campaign | Cold as Ice

[@LegendsofAvantris]

Our first Kickstarter campaign, The Crooked Moon, is now available for pre-order! thecrookedmoon.com

[@bootboots8363]

Episodes 4-6 arent showing up for some of us, it says they are hidden

[@damianking2509]

2 hours of hot pyke and mafia mickey mouse and then another 2 hours of race sequences and terrifying penguins w episode

[@obelobato]

42:55 what's the name of the song that plays when they enter elysium?

[@d.darling.honeyboy]

i love that my french-studies poisoned brain finally realized that Leboosh probably is a play on words as a funky spelling/grammar silly of "La bouche" and i love that the all-consuming jelly is named "the mouth". its very clever and i love it so much

[@svaringer]

As a frenchman, I thought the play on words was that he's called "Le bush" because he's green and all xD

I fricken love the difference between Eldritch Chaos Ghost Clown Chuckles from Witch light, and the "refined for being a player character" Chuckles in the Spelljammer campaigns. It really Fillanders my Cereal.

[@davidcarnan1270]

*Philanders, but hell yeah

[@mionn_naofa]

I find it funny that the same Chuckles that is the unpredictable space clown is also the Chuckles who complains about slot machines because of something that's supposedly outside of his control. The irony is hilarious

[@BlizzardSnowMew]

I love how well Derek plays Leboosh's physical form, it makes him probably my favorite character design! The squelchy boots, the wiper maneuver he does, the absorbing, cleaning, and leaving behind stacks of plates, the bubble head thing he does to prevent fog, his fingers sticking together when he claps. It's great!

[@jamesmitchell7707]

"Nothing hungers for blood like ice" Absolutely the most metal thing Mace could have said in the context of a space clown throwing a pinata full of apple pies at wolves on an ice planet

[@ItsLexy]

So I'm not a big sci-fi person, I prefer fantasy, but Mace does an incredible job making me love every moment of this series and fascinated by his world and how it works. Good job Mace! 👏 👏👏👏

So true

I was half expecting Chuckles to start Scooby-Doo running on the spot during the snowball fight and just unleash a wave of snow.

[@n-z0]

Having worked in a casino, this is the most accurate casino in a tabletop game I've ever seen

[@catfoodzplz]

“1000 on girl just wants to have fun.” Absolutely fucking killed me. Y’all are so funny, I adore it.

[@Saf_Ibn_Sayyad_Bacon]

You're so funny 😁

[@theesingularity]

the way leboosh is just like 'COME ON GIRL JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN, COME ON!'

[@dimsunstuff]

The Boss sounding kinda like Mickey Mouse is amazing, and Derek presumably having a whole pack of new pencils just to break for sound effects has me cracking tf up

[@StarryIceW0lf]

As soon as the teaser for this campaign dropped, I was so stoked for a space odyssey, especially with the 80s-style intro and the music. It's been a delight so far, thank you

[@blastamaster]

Its more of a spin on cowboy bebop. Especially since pyke and rhett are literally just Spike Spiegel and Jet Black.

[@Crystan]

3:37:22 - Leboosh's clap was just too perfect. His hands getting all stuck together. Great visual aid there from Derek. Loved it.

[@BlazeNStar]

I'm literally just picturing The Boss and all the others of their species as pink plushie-like space bunnies but the ears are pointy on the ends.

[@cilewilson874]

But sounds like an old cartoon I've seen where a mouse was a big mob boss, but I can't remember the cartoon for the life of me. I just keep envisioning a pink mouse with pointy ears.

[@barrybend7189]

I think south parks version of Mickey mouse.

[@pulsarbeam3857]

i can only see them as the pink panther

[@flatMANWICH]

I was thinking space gremlins

[@matthewfenimore3820]

I definitely think of like a rat type of guy with like chinchilla looking henchmen 😆

[@theGazzer]

I seriously hope Mace sees all the complements he's gotten about his DMing skills, bc he deserves every single one 🙏🙏

[@sleepyproduction7166]

Yeah especially since there’s a few episodes where his friends joke ‘how to DnD’ or ‘finally learned how to play’ jokes

[@agenth1091]

LeBoosh loosing it all at the horse track killed me… I feel it only would have been funnier if “girls just wanna have fun” spontaneously combusted on on of the many ones that were rolled

[@undervoice3401]

Mace doing the uhhh every ten seconds is gold I feel like mace is what my brain does anytime I try to use it

[@Frickerdoodle]

Does anyone else adore Dandy and Chuckles' friendship?

[@doeohdeer]

[@Goldenage204]

When I hear the bosses voice I picture Mickey Mouse with a fedora cartoonishly smacking the dude

[@irishmudslide1544]

​@@NickolasRAnderson I'd argue that fantasy media has been far more popular in recent years than sci-fi

[@TwoGunToast]

Im honestly amazed they didnt automatically assume The Boss had bugged The Rhapsody

[@Drahven]

It's great watching Pyke descend into being Torbek by accident every so often

[@OkiGex]

I just image that when chuckles puts the bomb back in his hat, that it does a cartoonish muffled explosion and smoke slowly came out of his hat.

[@freehugs5898]

I like to think that because chuckles was "turned" like a vampire, ma chuckles isn't actually his mom she's the one that turned him

[@71tofu]

It's how clowns propagate. Performing at birthday parties just allows them to find the strongest clowns to turn. Mind you, clowns are not, in fact, a force of evil despite the method of propagation. They are actually a force of extremely chaotic good.

[@joshuasucher6260]

I just realized the bunnies are the energizer bunnies

@@mr.malpractice6390 yup had one of our machines converted into one a few months back

[@Lockz1111]

They did say that they were real slot machine names lol

[@TheMuseForge]

I'm here at the end of the session just taken aback at how exhilarating that sled chase was and then how eloquently the story shifted into a genuinely enjoyable moment of childlike joy shared between the entire party. That was just so good. Great job Mace and great job everybody. Thanks for putting this out in the world for us to enjoy and be inspired by.

[@jrm0601]

Genuinely surprised they didn't run a perception/investigation check for any of The Boss's bugs in their ship. I would've been paranoid the second I enter the ship. Would be easy to hide a "spying" stipulation in the premium repair contract. After all, they were quick to put that lobster ad on the side of the ship lol. It still would've been funny if it's a minimum 18 roll and everyone rolls around 10 "everything's so shiny and new, you're too distracted to notice if there's any cameras recording your every moves" 😆

[@gmork1090]

My guess is they're okay if those devices are on board because it will add to the story later.

[@matthewfenimore3820]

Love the witchlight callback with the swoose down 😂

[@dancortese7960]

Ahhh the signature " That's very funny" or for anyone else, uncontrollable laughter

[@fredpeterson75]

Mace does an awesome job painting a picture of the casino and the outfits.

[@aurouralamia]

When they docked and Andy was saying "...who puts out a hit on someone like The Doctor..." I expected someone to say "Speaking of, what's with the blue police box parked here?"

[@cyanchaos4490]

The intro theme goes so hard!

[@williamh7106]

I'm disappointed Chuckles went with "Anthony Falcon" for the skateboard pun instead of "Tony Honk"

[@barrybend7189]

No Toby Honk.

[@ALPHAMITEE]

41:52 I was so hoping Leboosh would say "...Well, one of us is going to have to change." 😭😭😭

[@lem0nbell]

3:11:30” I have a good feeling, for once” I immediately thought of that one low quality video of the penguin walking towards a guy, floating into the air, and launching towards him like a missile while “I got a feeling” plays in the background

[@BlazeNStar]

Oh ya, the dr said that if when the experiment worked it could allow people to be able to recover from basically anything, so Perfect Jackson is probably definitly still alive.

[@Noblewolf09]

It may be crass, but I really hope ‘perfect Jackson’s’ first name is micheal

[@corvidalexander3618]

The intro is unironically such a FCKING BANGER I'm literally jamming out in class rn

[@Miss_Yaiko]

I was so hoping Pyke was going to have an andy in this series. As soon as you said he was another solar elf I started laughing. Love all the bebop refrences in this show.

[@reliablereview4723]

Ma Chuckles didnt raise no RAT!

[@Wofl737]

I’d say, a joke that Chuckles could’ve done was hold the head of the Dr. up into the air and say, “HEADS UP”

[@MollytheRen]

Shoutout to Mikey for mimicking the Batman movie Penguin when Mace asked if anyone spoke penguin. No one at the table got it but I did!

[@rawremnic]

After watching Uprooted and this, I’m convinced 90% of the jokes Mikey makes are purely for him and Richie. Bonus points if it makes Mace wheeze.

[@cryptidkai]

All Avantris campaigns are criminally underrated. These are the coolest, funniest, and most enthralling D&D content I've ever seen! Love the themes so much, especially the 80s space odyssey of Stardust Rhapsody!

[@Zanzoltan]

I'm finally getting to see this with time in my hands. I loved the last episode, now I need to get back into the fray of watching this great campaign :D

[@Nate_Alder]

This is better than Netflix.

[@sleepyproduction7166]

I can’t wait for old Hollywood to just collapse, KZbinrs making movies, and (some) streamers making original content. This is the new media, and the longer they keep talking down and horribly emulating it the more they lose. And I’m all for it.

[@tyhkB]

I feel like the snowman chuckles tore the head off and threw will come back as a superior mafia boss as like "Mr. Frost" Or "Mr. White" type stuff and be like a super threat to the party. I think that would be 1. Funny and 2. Super cool

Everything you could ever want can be found in Elysium, including a working soft-serve machine. But they only work fully while in Elysium, ithe machine would only MOSTLY work if taken outside. That's the nature of soft-serve machines.

Man, not me over here losing my hair over them not checking to see if the ship was tapped, like, I'm almost 99 percent sure the Boss put something in there as a just in case, like with the doctor.
