The Storm Giants - NPC D&D - Episode 215

[@ziggybrady5170]

I’m so excited to see how bodger manages to con a giant into giving him a body part this time 😂

[@duicic8541]

Persuasion roll? And GUIDANCE!

[@drowemos]

Is ,"hit them in the face until they give me what I want" really a "con"?

[@mr.truffles9294]

Perhaps this time he'll ask for a nipple

[@michaellane5381]

By establishing divine right of his grandpa's hammer lol.

[@hrekkah1g]

He literally talks their ears off.

[@durrellward1770]

Gotta respect the amount of thought and planning that's been going into the campaign since the very beginning. Great stuff!

[@KRONOS1909]

Even more than that, I love his ability to give out little tidbits here and there and not just do a big lore dump in one episode. That kinda restraint in such an interesting and intricate story is commendable

[@TheSeeer-e8w]

Yeah def a lot but it’s not that hard (besides coming up with an original story)

[@Eliathebakingfaery]

Lots of love for Lorquin and the subtitles ❤ also lol for spelling the names differently each time 😂 I'm sure at least one spelling was correct at some point

[@ReJoyce1]

My favorite part of the episode 😅

[@salemwildfire]

Lorquin is the true hero of the campaign. Has VLDL hired them yet?

[@Longwing70]

Lorquin could also be the BBEG, we just don't know.

[@vectrom21]

The storm giants could have an australian accent, because they live "down under" the water.

[@andrewparkin4036]

To start with...gold star ⭐ to Lorquin for the captions of the Storm Giants names and for matching Ben with his variations of them too, the guy rocks. This has been an amazing campaign fellas with nothing left out amd even if it is im sure Rob can shoehorn it into the girls campaign somewhere...(Rob quietly puts down a stack of A4 paper that has 1/4 of a side story for Greg where he's reunited with Poppy but doesn't get to use it and instead makes it so Daffodil finds Poppy abandoned on their quest instead) Rob just smiles while cursing under his breath.. loving it all, Happy Christmas to everyone there at VLDL.

[@mimig474]

I like your thinking 🧐

[@JaidenBurcht]

I am Dutch and I was about to ask of the giant names are bases of Dutch names, but then Rob said it himself. Love it😂

[@kathrina3339]

And maybe Ben could know Dutch pronunciation, I guess his surname sounds Dutch.

[@MrLordi27]

And, of course, the Dutch accent is German for the non Dutch people

[@freemen667]

I still can't get enough of the Laptop stand. It's been a joy to watch Rob hold it for so many years )

[@sarahmk9587]

Maat being the ancient egyptian concept of justice, truth, balance and order (and more as it cannot be translated as only one) being picked up here as the Giant Concept of abiding by their culture and nature is a very cool implementation - love it! :D

[@iAelon]

It’s also a Dutch variant for friend.

[@MrDavidMoyer]

7:20 The difference between the girls' campaign and the guys' campaign right here. Girls: "Don't worry, Arrow, we won't let you drown. We got you." Guys: "Head first! Head first! Head first!" Classic Bob. 🤣

[@dvjolly19]

it feels so nice to be caught up and to be able to watch this 2 hours after release =)

[@nivalshade]

17:20 DM vs the captioner, place your bets now!

[@mr.truffles9294]

5 platinums on Lorquin

[@OsuchinRiberu]

The entire segment about the storm giant names (17:18 - 18:30) is 100x more funny with subtitles. That subtitle guy did such a good job catching all the back and forth mumbling and adding his own comedic spin on it. 10/10 subtitle performance 🤣

[@Eliathebakingfaery]

Currently drinking hot peach tea, cheers Adam 🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵

[@SMASHem715]

I think when they are done with the campaign they should do a giveaway of the written notes signed by the cast THAT WOULD BE AWESOME

[@michaellane5381]

Or a trip to Baradun Mart(a new video bit where they get to be an extra and/or buy limited merch made as props).

[@SMASHem715]

@michaellane5381 i would buy a snorkel away shirt

[@Veelasiren]

Alan and Rowan's brief notes will be peppered with insults aimed towards each other and tiny hands flipping the bird.

[@dregoth0]

'Powering Up the Dark Lord' is my new favorite euphemism.

[@kiro4279]

Ayy this is definitely going to go incredibly smooth and diplomatic with no complications!

[@e.samuelcrecelius2236]

Huge credit to Lorquin-I think Beatrix was spelled differently every time? 🤣

[@1nsertRand0m]

☕ Wow, Kelothac is basically Avatar! And oh but I wanna Baradun to be High Sorcerer... And his best friend as The Other High Sorcerer! Also I'm really proud of Bodger, he is so diplomatic here - such a long way from the beginning where he just said all things that weren't needed!💝

[@OrgangrinderYT]

love the Dutch touch 😀. Thanks for using our language in a positive way 😛. If you ever want something translated to dutch(like a player handout or something) let me know 😀🤜.

[@mattesonmorgan2177]

One of the protagonists subclass alone is empowering the BBEG. Beautiful.

[@OllyJC]

31:28 Baradun Has forgotten his bestie proving once and for all, they are not besties.

[@andyryan4484]

I'm loving how Lorquin is spelling the names differently every time

[@xyzabc4574]

This standing ovation is for the subtitler. You rule. \m/

[@thedeaddutchman4277]

So because we are giants in the real world you based us on giants?.... Approved!

[@JustAPerson-vm6ez]

🇳🇱 gang

[@Shadow-hm3uq]

He based giants on you, not the other way around, but yes.

[@stampsu]

This christmas sale is definately gonna give me some Steam damage

[@OLDmanBOB]

I have been promoted from a binge watcher of this series to a weekly watcher. I had finally caught up.

[@scottybeats5328]

when I DM'ed in my discord, my nephew would have his screen shared for our audio to play (often on loop) while we were playing. I'd share my screen of Macromedia Flash, for the maps and characters/board and the immersion was amazing. there's so many tracks to use. from wilderness, beach, open waters, taverns to anything misc and in between. With that said, I wish Viva would have a sound guy for that. That way the players could hear and get a better feel. Immersion!!!

[@beyondmaintenance]

All I really care about is the doll in Bodger’s arm. Greg’s quick doggy paddle to show his accelerated swim speed is an accurate representation at depth, I feel no need to fact check.

[@Bricksgaming710]

Lol Bob. I'm so backed up😂

[@HenryBrown89253]

Rowan trying to catch up on an entire campaign with no note-taking is killing me 🤣🤣

[@petertyson4022]

Great figures. Good story. Bob did well with he's dice. 👍

[@CB-yo5px]

16:54 lols ikr, that kiwi accent… lolol 😂

[@Twillek1019_]

I just love the inconsistent spelling of Beatrix in the subtitles XD

[@theurbangoose9962]

I really just love this campaign and can't believe it is going to be over next year. So exitedd for what you'll do next

[@gustymaat7011]

Maat is the good one!!!!!! Yeay! 28:05

[@lucashowes5996]

Randomly woke up and this was uploaded, hell yeah!

[@Archermit]

I strongly suggest if you're not using subtitles, you turn them on for the part where he refuses to spell the names....some shade thrown!

[@tjrobards]

I feel like Baradun Wild Surges as often as a teenage boy... well never mind. My condolences to Rob for keeping track of them since the beginning.

[@zackallen76]

In a digital VR game, Ben's dice are still going to suck. 🤣😅

[@royalejappie9222]

Very cool Rob for the Idea that giant names are mostly Dutch! I am Dutch but I have no idea what that would sound like…

[@Rebel_Lord_Taron]

Hell yeah! This is the quest that we needed! Hello from Texas!

[@NGBigfield]

This is what helps me sleep at night!

[@domzdaman373]

Ahh man… great episode guys! One criticism though.. We’re definitely going to need more Djeoph and Uwu Dragons. That’s really what the people are here for.

[@TiltedTaste]

Love the Subtitles correcting Rob about the "Fire Damage" and it just said Heat Damage in subtitles every time hahah that was funny to me

[@JetEyeMonkey]

Bodger only needs a part of giant? Isn't.. hair a part? Finger nail clippings even? Maybe a tooth?

[@jasterogue5438]

♨♨♨♨♨♨ Hot water

[@Mrs.ragnvindr31]

Happy Holiday indeed!

[@heartwagon]

Sherlock Holmes randomly on my head: Discombobulate

[@HeartBreakBonez]

8:33 Lorquin put Hot Water emotes in the caption 😂 \_/

[@leonestello]

Oh yeah... 💁♨️

[@causechaos1313]

I am still waiting for "MOMMY, MOMMY, MOMMY!"

[@rasmushp2733]

PROPS to the fucking subtitler dude, well done with that naming part xD

[@Drhazemaze]

I really love you guys and your videos, you always make my days a lot better :)

[@mikemanson5496]

I can’t believe the giants didn’t comment on Baradun’s feather-beard when they brought up the wild surges. Missed opportunity!!

[@shareworthy5720]

Now I gotta delay sleep a little longer! Haha

[@qwertyqwertysson9736]

Beertits is my new favorite character after frank and dudelia

[@jatsantsa]

Why is Adam using Bens dice?

[@Frazzledragon]

The music was too loud and distracting in this one. It felt too invasive, while Rob described the environment and introduced the Council.

[@samuelrosander1048]

1:35 Rob, I'm surprised at you! You know that water under extreme pressure would have squished them like bugs! Back to studying the properties of water at depths...

[@shaknaisrael5271]

But, a teleport displacing matter should also cause something bigger than a pop of air. If that doesn't happen, then the physics of pressures in this world (canonically a video game world), are not our own...

[@kratinpande9956]

Man the sound effects are so good.

[@midnitepagan9118]

We used to call when wiping out in heavy seas "Doing the Tumble dryer"

[@storytellerplays]

Surely the "Washing machine" makes more sense 😂?

[@midnitepagan9118]

@@storytellerplays washing machine agitates. Tumble dryer makes u do 360s 😁

[@mr.truffles9294]

☕ For Baradun

[@jankarieben1071]

Happy Holidays Dirt League and Friends!!! 🍻

[@dampfwasi]

15:24 Asking for a body part without first telling them about your grandfather's hammer? Rude

[@marijnschotsman5122]

Love from the Netherlands here!

[@CuttingWords]

Giants are the coolest.

[@rubysilver3299]

Loved Greg’s little doggy paddle. Or is it a sheep paddle? Do sheep swim?

[@aeowrynn7950]

I can't get myself to swallow hot water. Tea is fine but just water? Nope. It's weird to me always that Adam is able to drink hot water.

[@caesarmedina8489]

I hate to say this but, Gryffindor and Slytherin represent! I take it wizards come back as giants when they die?

[@Marduniattv]

Daan, Beatrix, Diederik, and Gerrit 😂

[@viva_la_nature]

"Who does he wants revenge against?" Really?

[@rorybutler7961]

Baradun has had Ben’s rolls and Rowan’s knowledge this session

[@WithTheBears]

So if you were in a bubble of air at the bottom of an ocean, thats the pressure of THE OCEAN pressing in so when that bubble of air collapses...I mean we all remember the submarine thing right?

[@cactizach1363]

I think ben would love the song "critical fail" by oneshotbard

[@danielrees4359]

Did you see that?!? He's black smoke behind the eyes!

[@w0nd3rnut]

Does this mean Baradun's not so secret, not so sneaky spell time each night was also powering up the dark lord since they were micro-aggressions?

[@uocor2.085]

timing couldn't have been better!

[@shadowriggs2016]

Fun trick from personal experience.. cold and you ain't got hot chocolate to warm your body up get a nice glass of hot water and drink it and it will warm your body up

[@knutzzl]

yes, us Dutch folk are giants

[@mikefleurie3480]

The future is now... They have the vr thing. ARcana it even fills in blanks in the dwarven forge you own and you can even do your green screens inside of it and plan different layouts if I remember right... They had a kick starter a few years ago

[@GUSRG]

3:10 Regarding D&D in VR mentioned on. There are some solutions like Tabletop Simulator and VRChat. If you have the 3D Model and the knowlodge to import to the table, it can be insanely fun to play on VR.

[@kemzal]

Wait a minute... I wonder if the acts of revenge in The Misfits campaign power up Lacothac? 🤔

[@michael_pilot]

Poor cleric Greg who doesn't know what adults are talking about... 😇

[@kysersoze3767]

Oh.....foretold....not four toed! 😅

[@turtix1029]

The giant in the thunmnail feels AI, hope thats not the case

[@berkekadircelik6282]

AI can be used if it makes the job easier.

[@Alacernovum]

Mom, the giants are Dutch again!

[@CB-yo5px]

Adam didn’t roll for wild surge after magic bullsheet #2 ish I think …? 😂

[@Israelmadruga]

He has special armour that allows him to swim if I remember correctly

[@alphamanlk]

Is it just me or have they forgotten they each have a ring with a spell slotted in them?

[@Zephyr_Chmura]

I'm genuinely not sure, but doesn't the thumbnail feel AI? (Not Baradun obviously, but the rest of it)

[@De_Wezel]

18:25 Giant names are based on dutch language, conbined with some keyboard mashing... As a native dutch speaker, i feel sorry for your keyboard. Dear lord how much mashing did you do??!?!😅

[@ronaldking1054]

Bodger as a protocol droid. As insightful as C-3PO?

[@HarryBGamer2570]

What's the music title/link that starts @ 13:10
