[@seaneastman6475]

You guys definitely captured the DM frustration. That said, letting the new players burn down the tavern is actually a necessary ritual and shows them that DnD isn't limited like a normal video game RPG and you can in fact go on a murderous rampage if you want, just don't expect to get away with it.

[@nlm6183]

Haha this is so true. Although this is exactly how we ended up with one player being branded as a thief in the first 5 minutes and another made our first mission to make enough money to get her out of jail. We ended up leaving her there because she really didnt grasp the concept that you cant just kill everyone you dont like. Love D&D.

[@ChromeKong]

Thought the same thing. Just let it have severe consequences. Some questgivers could have escaped the fire and forced the „heroes“ to take quests in order to not be delivered to the authorities.

[@emilys.6787]

Thank you so much for the wonderful show in Hamburg last week. I think my friend 'Barbara' (Bärbel actually) will be stuck with that name now. Both of my friends were so afraid that you'd talk to them because they only have little English and the sound made it a bit difficult for them to understand you at first, all of us ended up having a really great time. You created such an incredible atmosphere and it's honestly so impressive how you managed to work all of the audience information into your sketches even if our answers weren't really helpful. It's lovely to see how Hogwash has evolved since the Fringe. From the sketches, to the bread throwing, to your singing, it's simply brilliant. You truly deserved the standing ovation and the roaring applause. Have a wonderful day!

[@Emma_W_]

This sketch is so utterly brilliant - the plot, lighting, editing, soundtrack - I actually started leaning towards the screen. And the characters too! Suits is so well done. With this level of nerd it would be easy to say it's Hog - but the seriousness and the annoyance is pure Suits (and there's not enough laughing for it to be Hog!). And the tiny expressions make it look like Suits is getting these wee flickers of joy from his friends getting into it (even if it's Hog suppressing a laugh 00:58). Very convincing. I love Suits. Aodghán is also pretty great and convincing here. Not arsed and angry but also accidently letting himself get into it, but completely himself in the end. And Chris - here I actually think the bully from the 80s does work as a contrast to Suits, like the set up of them both not being into D&D works. As a character himself... I don't know. The glance at the camera when he thinks he's got high charisma is funny and makes him feel a bit real. And because he's playing a character you don't see so much actual character so it kind of hard to judge. Though the ending with Chris's 'whoa what a quest' feels kind of jarring and a bit caricaturey. Am I saying anything interesting? No. I just wanted to acknowledge it is difficult really. Like you are trying to set up three characters who in different scenarios are always two against one and the dynamics of who the two and one are has to be able to change. I rewatched all squatters and can't really think where it's like three individuals all different against each other. Maybe nearer the start (of episode 2)? Or in this one when C & A are arguing - a great moment. Like I've seen others say I think Chris being if not loveable then at least likeable is good. Like I get the other two are arses at times but they also have moments where they're not so awful or you can see why they're like that (low self esteem, low prospects, very narrow lives). And personally - I don't know why Chris has to be so stupid. I don't know why everyone has to be so mean either 😂 though I'm getting used to it. And with this sketch they actually didn't seem just mean. I've said this a few times now - but this is my favourite squatters to date! I really enjoyed it!

Good FAHnalysis there! I also thought this sketch was really good, but a bit more difficult to tease out the Squatters characters from their D&D characters (multiple levels of acting!). Like many FAHns (I think) I'm trying to figure out where they're going with Chris' character and what version of him "works best." (I did rather like it in Episodes 1 & 2 when Chris seemed to be the polite people-pleasing one with a properly-adjusted moral compass - but then he turns to the "dark side" a bit at the end of Ep. 2 and it feels a little bit as though they've let him "fall" from there.)

​@@anonymous_selkie Ah, thank you for taking the time to read it 😅 I am certainly one of those fahns wondering about Chris! Picturing original Chris in this, it does still work. It's just different. They just seem to so easily completely capture their other characters (Anne, Oisín, Barry, McCormacks, Mrs Geraghty) but maybe it is the needing the characters to play different role in different scenarios that's the difference here (or thinking about it again now maybe I'm wrong about that and it's not necessary with the right characters). Anyway, I enjoy things by analysing and thinking about them. The squatters sketches are giving me lots to think about! Thanks, fellow fahnalyst!

This sketch seem familiar! Almost like this happened in one of your Patreon Live Shows! I wish I understood Dungeons and Dragons! It looks really fun!

[@noiJadisCailleach]

So... Foil Arms & Hog is going to New Zealand, right?

[@SamFAHntha]

They were here in March! I'd loooove to know when they're coming back too.

[@sophstar15]

Good for Hog for writing this sketch, I can tell it’s his idea! Very interesting

[@SamFAHntha]

Something tells me "Finally it's accurate" was Foil's idea but who knows 😂

[@SamFAHntha]

Well okay FAH knows but ya know.

Love the lighting!!! That and "kill everyone and destroy everything" Nah. The pit of despair is from Princess Bride!!!!

Thought the sword would be the remote control 😮

[@anonymous_selkie]

Wonderful cinematography and a very funny, silly sketch! I think we all know there was some personal experience behind this one... Has Hog ever succeeded in leading the other two through a D&D game that they enjoyed? Also, this is the second time Suits has proposed a fantasy scenario that ended in an unfortunate fire [Squatters Ep. 1, the inrerview scene!]. Will this be a recurring easter-egg for the character? 😁

Wahey!

[@EmmaLiza]

Gee, I wonder who wrote this one…

[@Rood67]

For a few minutes, this took me back thirty years. I wish there had been more.

[@katharinaeveliina]

Good morning!:) I meant to ask you if you enjoyed your day off in Köln or Hamburg (totally forgot to do it at the M&G), but then I saw your Patreon post this morning. 😁 The tour looked like a lot of fun, especially the merry-go-round. 😁The only ride we took was an elongated train/bus ride home after the Köln gig due to the last train home being cancelled… Being in bed by 5.15 a.m. is nothing I’d recommend. 🙈 It was well worth though since we had a lovely evening with you guys and you found a new live show fan in my sister. 😁❤️

[@KitKat-FAH]

So glad your sister enjoyed the show ❤

Oh my god you poor thing 😢

[@prishanicoorey7065]

Foil’s character should earn more charisma for that last move😂😅👌🏼

[@willthegeek1815]

Since VLDL have their own d&d channel, why not FAH?

[@wendycairoli3964]

Is this a sign ? I've just decided this week that I wanted to try D&D and become a GM. Are the gods telling me not to ? 😂 Excellent sketch !

[@davidjennings2179]

No, go for it! It's great fun if everyone buys into the fiction for a bit and can be a brilliant escape after a week of work. Best of luck, hope you have a good time.

[@hedgeandhue]

Prepare to be hated by the questers on a regular basis.

[@wendycairoli3964]

​@@davidjennings2179Thanks for the encouragement! I'm going to a roleplaying convention in my city this weekend to see if I can find useful info on starting this journey. It's a bit intimidating when you're a total newbie 😅

[@wendycairoli3964]

​@@hedgeandhueHahaha I'm looking forward to it!

[@rojprakash5161]

Nice use of the dice for transition there. Can't wait for more episodes. Squatters has such a bro vibe, I'm excited to see how a woman's voice can add even more hilarity to an already hilarious scenario.

[@gamesturbator]

I swear they need to team up with Viva La Dirt League!

[@ElizabethLoyle]

As a DM, I can 100% confirm that parties will do anything Other than what you expected.

[@frostyblade8842]

This video perfectly echos the sentiment of 'its easier to turn DnD players into your friends that is to turn your friends into DnD players'. I very much emphatise with Hog here, the struggle just isn't worth it and sessions with people that aren't passionate about their characters just tent to suck. One schmuck is fine since you can either reform or boot him/her. But more than that just needs to disaster. Never gove out pre made characters, since your character is the main way you interact with the world and people just wont care if they dodnt make themselves

[@Nurichiri]

And the very first thing they "get" is "it's what my character would do".

[@Ensign_Roque]

The show in Hamburg was really great. I really loved the 'comming home' sketch and the one with the suitcases😅. Some really tall freaks sat in front of me so I could see only about 1/3 - 2/3 of the stage. 😅 Well at least I could hear you. I really loved the singing too. I wonder what songs are sung in the english version? The meet and greet was really lovely 😅 if I can say that, because I was actually quite scared. I'm really actually quite the introvert and pretty scared of crowded places and meeting people I don't really know. So I guess it kinda sucked that it was only a such a short meet and greet but on the other side it was good because when I'm scared I have trouble talking or don't talk at all 😅 Traveling by public transportation was quite the nightmare. With the train being 90 min late and me taking the wrong bus two times 😅 and then after the show, the bus line to my hostel was canceled and I didn't know that. So I was roaming the streets because I thougt they had just put the bus stop somewhere else and in the end I walked like an hour or so to my hostel. 😅

[@sarah.bea.]

Re the introvert thing: Isn’t it funny that they bring out the best in us? I‘m on the spectrum but I plucked up the courage and went to the gig in Cologne on my own (I was so panicky!). Then I actually made some “liveshow friends” and we had the greatest time. I even managed to not completely freeze when meeting the lads and got some lovely photos. Social accomplishment of the quarter for sure ☺️

[@Ensign_Roque]

​​@@sarah.bea.That's awesome that you could make some friends! 😊 I bet the show in cologne was awesome. Haha I was quite frozen when I met them

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Not even a minute and the players have already gone full murder hobo. Ain't that just how it goes sometimes?

[@foilarmsandhog]

With great power...

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

@@foilarmsandhog Comes great potential for arson?

[@Ensign_Roque]

😂 hahaha, that's why playing games is so awesome and fun!

[@Ensign_Roque]

This sketch was really good. Especially the part where the two hecklers went on a rampage at the beginning. With setting the tavern on fire 😅🤣 LOL Poor Hog at the end 🥲 his friends are not worth it. Maybe he should planned the game on a day no match ia on? That reminds me of a game that my big brother used to play on the SNES somewhere in that RPG was a npc guy hidden in a town and when you talked to him, he lit himself on fire, for no particular resaon at all. My brother had a savepoint in that city and let him lit himself up at least every day once when he played that game.😂😅
