1:57:30 I watched the OTHER D&D series before this one, even though this one is older. And now when they're getting ready to leave the inn in the morning and Rowan says "Wait, wait, just before we go..." just for a second there I'm expecting him to say "Let me tell you about this hammer, which is rightfully mine, and my brother stole it from me..." LOL.

[@sparrowflyaway]

Hey Rob, can I just say, your acting, for both Freddy sitting there looking TERRIFIED while the others skirt the edges of activating that curse of silence or whatever it was, and also the person from Wraith being devastated about the city being gone, absolutely brilliant. Also being able to roll with that impromptu questioning session so smoothly, amazing. You're a fantastic DM for these VLDL DnD games, and I hope you continue to DM many more for the Dirt League :)

Poor Rob is suffering from a classic case of his Players doing everything they can to derail the campaign. Keep up the great work, the story seems to have great depth. I hope the team doesn't get to far off track. Can't wait for part four.

Nah, the trick is making them feel like they're taking it off the rails when you actually have even larger rails buried deeper under the first ones...

You players only think you're derailing us. Any good DM will have enough idea what needs to happen to offer you ways to get back on track without you noticing or let you fail and enjoy the evening of being able to make up shit and screw with your players and call it a feature.

Really love the "Rowan Manager" moment when Zaza realized the necklace: "I saw something ..." 🤔😁. Waited for Alan to go "What are you doing Zaza. No Zaza, you can't run."

[@adammullarkey4996]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Rob's talent for improvisation? Like, at 1:36:40. Alan: "I dream of hunting in the wilderness." Rob: Describes a meaningful dream which is relevant to Taurok's backstory and the present situation, and directly related to the dream he previously described for another character, with barely a second of thought. EDIT: And then again at 1:37:57, with Britt. It's uncanny.

[@EmeraldVideosNL]

So the guards tell about multiple tieflings being murdered that shared physical traits with Barb, and ALL partymembers ignore that info?! Omg!! That goes so against my D&D instinct. 😂
