Honeywood Hassles - NPC D&D Compilation 1

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

Since logging this in my usual style would take ages, I'm using this as a chance to catalog the actual numbers on how many rolls these guys make, how many they succeed on, how many they fail, and how many 1s & 20s they roll to mathematically prove Ben is *Cursed.* There will also be a section that's just rolls they don't call out, I can't see on the dice, or which we don't know/can't tell are passes/fails. *Ben Van Lier:* 53 rolls (47 d20s, 3d4s, 2d6, 1d10) 1, 18, 12, 19, 8, 12, 13, 1(d4), 11, 1(d6), 14, 3(d4), 16, 1(d6), 18, 1(d4), 8, 19, 1, 3, (9, 4*), 4, 18, 20, 3, ?, 10, 19, 16, (5*, 12), 10, 5, 20, 18, 10, 1, (17, 18*), 6(d10), 18, ?, (20, 13*), 16, 6, 4, (8*, ?), 17, 10, 17 Successes-19 Failures-17 Natural 1s-7 (one for his first unofficial roll, four on damage dice) Natural 20s-3 (one of which still failed because PVP, another of which he didn't get to use because Disadvantage) Unknown/Unspecified Rolls-6 *Rowan Bettjeman:* 42 rolls (39 d20s, 2d12s, 1d6) 18, 15, 11, (4, 1*), (12, 12), (6, 6), (11*, 12), 20, 11(d12), 3(d12), 11, 13, (4*, 6), 19, 18, 6, 10, 11, 18, ?, (13*, 19), 8, (15*, ?), 5(d6), 10, 3, 17, (18*, ?), (10, 6*), 19, 4, 7, 10 Successes-16 Failures-12 Natural 1s-1 Natural 20s-1 Unknown/Unspecified Rolls-3 *Adam King:* 32 rolls (30 d20s, 1d8, 1d4) 20, (20, 2*), 16, (2, 17*), 1(d8), 5, 16, ?, (8, 8), 16, 8, 14, 7, 4, 10, 6, 18, (12*, ?), 4(d4), 18, 20, 17, 18, (16*, ?), (9, 14*), 7 Successes-13 Failures-10 Natural 1s-None Natural 20s-3 (two being his first two rolls, one of which he didn't get to use because Disadvantage) Unknown/Unspecified Rolls-3 *Alan Morrison:* 22 rolls (17 d20s, 5d8s) 15, 7, 6, 13, 6(d8), 19, 13, 8(d8), 8(d8), 11, 8, 5, 7(d8), 14, (17*, 1), 7(d8), 13, 19, 13, (7*, ?) Successes-9 Failures-5 Natural 1s-1 (not used because Advantage) Natural 20s-None Unknown/Unspecified Rolls-2 *Conclusions Thus Far:* Ben has rolled the most 1s, albeit mostly for damage, but considering Adam hasn't even rolled a 1 yet, Rowan has only done so once, and Alan did once but didn't have to use it; Ben's definitely got shit luck. He's also technically tied for the most Nat 20s with Adam, but only one has actually been a success. Part of it also has to do with the fact he rolls the most (about as much as Alan & Adam put together). Alan has low-key performed the best while rolling the least. The failure rates are pretty close so far, with even Ben having more successes than failures. However, if we count his 1s on damage as failures, then he actually has failed more often than he's succeeded. His constant attempts to punch Greg while drunk are also a notable factor, since they auto-fail if Greg doesn't allow him to hit him, which he never does.

It's actually because Ben disrespected the dice gods At 1:20, "they're all dice... they're all the same."

[@jeleeson]

Three years later and I can't help but laugh hysterically at Rob, - at the very beginning of it all - pondering that Ben's dice "might be really lucky".

[@davidcraddock7414]

This is genius. Adding cut scenes into the actual gameplay is genius. I've never been so entertained watching a D&D game

[@chuanli7526]

I couldn't possibly imagine a group of people more suited to do this than viva. They've got the characters, world building, props all there already, they've been acting these characters for years over countless skits, they've got the budget and crew to bring it all together, and they've got an entire channel and viewer-base built around similarly themed content. It feels like NPC D&D is the perfect culmination of viva la dirt league.

[@RivalsAdventures]

well i was think about watching the series again. guess this makes the decision very easy. who wishes we could get this length every week. NPC D&D by far the best D&D campaign on youtube.

[@1asnyd]

I was going to make this same comment of my own , then I kept looking at the comments and found this one. Now we all know why Ben has the luck that he does. I wonder if he or they have looked at this footage and realize what he said in the beginning.

[@RSProduxx]

who ever has been playing p&p rpgs for many years knows that dice are NOT all the same... oh nooo, they sure aren´t...

[@tyrellthiel2201]

My old D&D party got our "stoic and of a singular focus monk" player a set of HOT PINK sparkly dice as a birthday gift. He hated them, until through idle rolling he realized those dice LOVED him

[@ferisera]

@@1asnyd One of the more recent episodes (probably about 2 episodes before Confucius joined) has Ben and Adam talking about how they actually watch the episodes, as opposed to Alan and Rowan who don't. They were wondering just which side of the table the guest player would end up joining. :D Like there was any doubt.

[@tivanic6242]

Before this series started i never would have imagined myself watching a D&D campaign online but here i am rewatching it for the 4th time and it's still not getting old. 10/10 content, great job VLDL!

[@t3m444]

i feel the same

[@gabrieljoseph2159]

I am loving it. I'm pausing it and rewinding it so that I don't miss any of it. The Dungeon Master is great. The guys are great. I would prefer that they play like normal. You can tell by their stats and their characters that they take this more serious. When there's not a camera on them, it'd be better if they were playing a game with the camera on them unknowingly. So they were more natural. All these corny jokes that they laugh at every one of them. I can tell the Dungeon Master gets a little frustrated sometimes. Cause you're just being too silly. Don't get me wrong. I love them and I love this I just wish they would play like I know they play windmill and watching they should do this more often this is cool. I always wanted to play Dungeons & Dragons were some friends but I never had friends that would play. They were all too cool for that shit. Everybody was practicing how to be super fucking cool.
