The Halls of Arden Vul Ep 66 - Old School Essentials Megadungeon | How to Irritate a Druid

Mortus J. Gobliano must invisibly navigate monkey-infested halls to discover his companions' fates, free some would-be food, and generally make Gerrilad's life a waking nightmare. Say one thing about Mort: say he's got chutzpah!

Trefko's sad monologue made me "awww" out loud. Also, to anyone on the fence about the Patreon-I joined it way back before I was even caught up on the delves and it was well worth it, even though there were some conversations I couldn't participate in. I recommend it 100%!

[@VisableVetetable]

Listener, this is your conscious speaking, like and subscribe

[@sweed84]

So many good moments this episode: 1. Trefko's getting a forever home 2. Mort's letter 3. "THE BAR IS CLOSED" 4. "Oh, Gerrilad 😍... go %^&* yourself."

[@laurenanumanum]

This week and last week were non-stop great lines.

[@Metal_Horror]

"You can definitely hear, echoing around everywhere, the sounds of baboons and baboons dying horribly as well." Matt: *YESSSSSSSS*

[@rubenrosario-rodriguez6490]

Why is this not more popular? I don’t watch much TV but I never miss your podcast!

[@cameronmaas2644]

Actually same though. I’ve learned so much about GMing and being a good player here.

[@Metal_Horror]

🤷

[@jaybakata5566]

Watching the video so you can see the facial expressions of the players and the DM, priceless. These guys are so good, so entertaining, so surprising. Better than any TV show.

[@laurenanumanum]

We watch on YT. The facial expressions make it even better. Plus maps! We did download a podcast episode for a trip and it was still great. I would advocate watching in general, but so much is conveyed well that podcast listeners aren't missing out. They could just have an enhanced experience if it fits into their life!

[@chris70723]

So true

[@jgbaxter]

Love how the trained assassin can’t assassinate anyone but everyone else can without rolling. 😂

[@guerintueno2066]

The issue of how the AV Club cleared the level of Halflings also comes down to whether the Goblins have secured the other entrances the boys and the Darlings used to get in that time. Haven’t heard much of it since then.

[@felswoop60]

The boys got a hairy nuclear bomb, now they just have to figure out where to aim it!

[@RagabashBinBash]

You are the most authentic team playing tabletop games on KZbin. A group of buddies playing old-school.

[@rrcabr]

I love Trefko already! Best AV club member now.

[@BaltoBruiser]

He has a long way to go to pass Jost or Njal in my book but he certainly a welcome addition!

[@CalamityCallie_0]

this one was reeeeeeeeally good.... such chaos

[@HighlyRegarded420]

Mort dies, WE RIOT

[@warduke42]

That's the spirit!

[@BaltoBruiser]

I was driving while listening and was laughing at the shear brilliance at the 14:00 mark that I almost rear-ended the guy in front of me. When Ted became a baboon whisperer at the 59:00 mark was awesome. "Bar is closed" and “Thatch out” What a lovely homecoming and I loved the way that Jon reminded the AV club that nothing is easy. Great episode thank you for putting this out into the world and sharing your game with all of us!

[@DieAlteBirne]

Let the ape guard the entrance. He has something to guard, and can smash Adventures and prove he is a mighty ape. And the goblins will feed him.

[@Dirus-Nex]

Yes!!! Great job guys! I think it’s time to use that book about taking care of baboons and to start making your own baboon army!

[@cavalier973]

Jon gave everyone a heads up on Discord; when you get to around the 16:00 mark, there will be silence until around the 19:30 mark as Jon reads Ted’s note.

[@cavalier973]

If anyone knows how to read lips, David is talking about something during the period of silence, but the sound is off.

[@ImreRides]

Finally the AV Club has a pet.

[@pateyler]

Another wonderful session!

[@chris70723]

50:38 “We already spent all our bad rolls” This made me laugh so hard. David tries so hard start chaos. So fun to watch. #makemortking

[@dgrayk]

😘

[@jideru]

My favorite actual play!

[@passthegrits]

"Well done! You guys have... well... you know..." - Jon

[@laurenanumanum]

Classic.

[@Metal_Horror]

That Mort sure has chutzpah!

[@D_the_B]

Thank you guys for all of the entertainment through this AP! As always I can’t wait for next week!

[@kylegraywolf]

Avaricios and Darius the two-headed ogre.

[@jaybakata5566]

I love all 3d6 Down The Line videos! OMG Ted! Are you serious? Such a great plan/idea. I can't wait for the results.

[@warduke42]

I want ringside seats for the coming Monkey-Set war...

[@ionamilne3455]

Commute home sorted!

[@kennethmoore7770]

Ah, Jon left a loophole wide open for Mike, and he didn't take it. He should have said "I'm going to roll a d20, 1 is right hand, 2-20 is left"

[@bigbison5661]

He would've rolled a 1 for sure

[@timothyreal]

Great episode! So tense!

[@ImreRides]

What a session! Ted really showed off in terms of player skills!

[@warduke42]

The hardest part was resisting Mike’s pressure to ride the lightning!

[@laurenanumanum]

That was epic and hilarious, per usual. Spoiler Alert Excitement below! . . . . . . . Ted's letter idea was inspired and David's palpable excitement was hella relatable! Quite interested to know how that seed germinates. The interplay with Trefco's "conscience" was a delight and ever so clever. Matt's use of small creatures to absolutely *wreck* the place with surprise guests paid off satisfyingly. Darius is a regular Vanessa Williams- he went and saved the best (roll) for last. While Mike didn't go out in a literal blaze of glory he did get to mouth off like a badass. Lisabeth is saucy this episode and I am *here* for it! Plus, the gang made a new friend! Jon, props for the methodical increase in how exasperated Gerrilad was becoming at the escalating sh!tshow that was his level. This episode had it all. Quality fun and play here! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@cytosolic5303]

Great as always, but definitely one of the fun episodes of the season.

[@beezzaroll]

paused my Spotify to be here 😔

[@saundersnecessary]

Thank you so very much for posting these they are amazing!

[@horusofoz]

Best actual play on the Internet!

[@magdaleneabiuso65]

Matt, Cisco is definitely a brass player. I'm going with bass trombone.

[@Metal_Horror]

He's definitely a boner, alright. (That's what we called the trombone players in highschool anyway -- drumcore represent)

[@jvarga6776]

Took a break, came back to this episode, and immediately hooked again.

[@DiceTomb]

Are you a bit early today, or am I a bit late?

[@dungeoneerofphilosophyphd172]

Astounding episode from the AV Club

[@hazenmorin357]

Sound cuts out about 16:00 minutes in and comes back at 19

[@3D6DTL]

This has been fixed.

[@Muzgrob]

Allied Trefko, ruined their kitchen, killed a bunch with snakes and ghouls. Not a complete disaster like last time. Time to use him to clear out whoever Rango is to really pen Gerrilad in.

[@DanHowardMtl]

For anyone liking old-skool RPGs I'm working on a goldbox reboot for more modern hardware (3d graphics) etc..

[@LordCandyDish]

Love y'all's series, I've got a technical question if you don't mind. I've been talking with my wife about running a game for our nieces and nephews who live on the other side of the country, but have no idea how to get that started from a technical side. Are y'all using skype for the video call and owlbear rodeo for the mapping/dice rolling parts? I want to try to figure something out thats easy enough for me and some kids 10-12 to be able to figure out and possibly have it so that if multiple kids live together they can share the device/stream. Any help is appreciated, thank y'all so much.

[@3D6DTL]

We use VDO Ninja + Miro, but Skype + Owlbear Rodeo will work perfectly fine for what you’re aiming to do. Any teleconferencing app will suit: Meets, Zoom, Skype, Discord, etc.
