But that's not where our story 182 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,240 takes place. No, no, it takes place over the 183 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,160 Kabuki Isles from the Heartland. Through the victories of 184 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,400 Campaign 1, the heartland had began to regrow because, spoiler 185 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,280 alert, it was devastated by Christo during the first 186 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,960 campaign. Now it is regrowing. 187 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:13,440 So we've taken the campaign takes place 404 years from 188 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,440 campaign one, where we are now using a city hub system where 189 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,560 basically this, this one main city. 190 00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:24,520 And then there are smaller towns surrounding the main city, and 191 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,520 the main city of the heartland is Bolderis, where the story 192 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,320 will start and take place. It's a big, huge city, and 193 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,160 there's a lot of unique biomes here. 194 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,800 And a quick thing I want to reference because we're doing 195 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,520 this new sandbox format, is that I left a lot of empty negative, 196 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,120 negative space on this world map because I want to fill it in as 197 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,400 we go. One of my pitfalls in the first 198 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,720 campaign is I filled out the world map before even session 199 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,560 one and it really like limited on like where I can what I could 200 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:58,120 do and tell the story, the locations we can go because I 201 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,840 had this whole continent and they pretty much just stood 202 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,120 right here the whole camp. Yeah, I felt railroaded for 203 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,720 sure. Yeah, so oopsie daisies. 204 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Yeah, but we have come up with some cool biomes and what the 205 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,360 help of the players here. If you would like to talk about 206 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960 some of the areas they contributed to, I sent their 207 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,680 notes and implemented into the world directly because this is a 208 00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:20,600 collaborative storytelling. Dan, why don't you talk about 209 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,120 something you made? Sure, yeah, if you're looking at 210 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,040 the forest, that's definitely one of the main products of my 211 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:33,200 character that need to be there for for Boram, Rock Head Forest. 212 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,960 But probably more north of Rock Head Forest is going to be the 213 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,600 the swamp, the marshlands, all the wetland kind of looking 214 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,960 areas where Boram comes from. I'm not going to say too much 215 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,840 about that, but I think you can maybe guess by the name and the 216 00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:59,440 Biome what my character might sound like so that that is where 217 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,680 my family grew up in the north more. 218 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,600 There's more historical background to my family that 219 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,000 will be revealed. But the main thing I asked Tony 220 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,840 is like, just give me a four so I can have a swamp. 221 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,800 I just need a swamp that I come from and I'm good. 222 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,760 And Abbacadi. So I gave it to you. 223 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280 Yeah, yeah. I definitely wasn't bullied into 224 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:22,960 doing it. Yep. 225 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,520 I'm I'm very grateful he gave me the bare necessity, just about 226 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,840 that, right? Thank you for allowing him to 227 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,360 play the character he wanted to play, man. 228 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,120 Yeah. So yeah, the world is going to 229 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,840 get filled out the more the hero's adventure to it, 230 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,240 adventure within it. And then this map will be 231 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,240 updated live with each session to reflect the changes and new 232 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,440 discoveries. Because the heartland is 233 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,640 relatively in infancy, because it was completely devastated 234 00:12:54,640 --> 00:13:00,240 from the first campaign, Bolderus is the only fully like, 235 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,560 thriving city. There are tons of small towns 236 00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:06,920 and Hamlets and smaller civilizations, but Bolderus is 237 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,800 the only major city and the small villages support it and it 238 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640 supports them. And the city is only about 200 239 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,880 years old, which is really not, which is still a baby within 240 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,520 itself for those cities, but most so it is a melting pot of 241 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,240 all different types of species and races and there's a lot of 242 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,840 unique areas. So we'll look at that map in a 243 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,000 minute as we want to talk about the fantasy setting. 244 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,760 So the fantasy setting is remaining the same. 245 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,560 It's going to be the same fantasy setting as campaign one. 246 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,120 We're not going into steampunk. We're not going into like spell 247 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,400 jam or anything like that. It's going to be that same 248 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,400 classic DND style that we stuck with in the first campaign. 249 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,440 Just slightly more magic, slightly more development. 250 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,160 Yeah, yeah. Where's your character kind of 251 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,160 hail from without giving too much away? 252 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:05,880 If I'm, if I'm not wrong, the main city ports think is where 253 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,680 my my family is based. But I am definitely in Balderas. 254 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,600 Oh no, yeah, I am in Balderas. My family's from Balderas. 255 00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,440 Thank you for the help. You're raised. 256 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,600 That is what I can give away is I come from one of the founding 257 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,960 families of Balderas. OK, drama. 258 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:34,160 There is a lot of drama, but I am a part of a family from there 259 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,880 and Baldaris is my home and I and I love it. 260 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,040 I love it. They're very much. 261 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,280 What I'll put before we exclude our. 262 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,280 Characters, but I'm born and raised Baldaris. 263 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:53,120 Swamp Guy and a city girl and wherever Jared's from. 264 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:03,840 I am from the top left portion of the map which is this forest 265 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,520 area right here is called Woodvane. 266 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,840 It is given this name because it is a spawning green labyrinth of 267 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,600 like shifting forests. There's only the locals know how 268 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,560 to get in and out of the city. That's kind of cool. 269 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,360 Very. Cool. 270 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,600 Yep. So people get lost, huh? 271 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,720 Yes, so that's their it's been kind of a fortified area because 272 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,600 the locals are the way to get in and out and it's pretty it's 273 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,760 pretty good stronghold for for them and why they've prospered 274 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520 for so. Long and it's hidden from the 275 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,960 world map. Why? 276 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,000 What are these question marks? Yep, can't. 277 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,160 Can't say much more than. That question marks, I just 278 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,080 thought they were little squiggles. 279 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,520 Another question, definitely question marks, yeah. 280 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,720 Alec, what about your character? Yeah, so my character is 281 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,160 actually not from the Material plane. 282 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Kassel is from the Faye Wilde. So he has lived on an entire 283 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,440 entirely different plane of existence. 284 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,040 Yeah, it's funny. It's, you know, this whole 285 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,920 thing, campaign one happened 404 years ago and Castle is I, I 286 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,400 guess I'm not going to give anything away too much, but he's 287 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,720 older than that, but he's just lived on a different plane. 288 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,880 So he was just not here when it happened so. 289 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,720 So I do have a map, a world map, my interpretation of the Fay 290 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,280 wild, but it's nowhere near done and I don't think rough draft. 291 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,800 For sure. It's super rough draft, but it's 292 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,520 I don't think you guys, at least in the first arc, I don't think 293 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,360 you're going to touch actually going to the Fay wild. 294 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,880 Maybe like a maybe. It depends what you guys what 295 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,120 you guys do it. The Fay wild is tied into the 296 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,240 story because a lot of characters back source, which 297 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,160 we'll get into later perhaps, but there is a map for the Fay 298 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:07,920 wild. That's going to be my 299 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,560 interpretation of it. I don't like how the Fay Wild is 300 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,440 really portrayed in raw DND. So similar to what I did, Shadow 301 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,400 Fell is what I'm going to do with the Fay Wild. 302 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,800 I've kind of put my own spin on it. 303 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,640 So going to the campaign, it's like your Fay Wild works like 304 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,160 you, freaky man, because it's going to be my interpretation of 305 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,800 it. Now, a biggie. 306 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,240 This topic might make some listeners angry. 307 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,520 They might make him excited. Some people might be on the 308 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,000 fence about it because they don't know. 309 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,280 They don't know how to feel about it because it's too new. 310 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,880 But this, we're going to talk about the rule set that we're 311 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,840 using for campaign too. This is a biggie. 312 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:53,160 So we're using the 2024 rule set or 5.5 or 20245 E, whatever you 313 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,560 want to call it. We're using the new books and 314 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,680 there's a lot of controversy around these books. 315 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,440 And I personally think that the controversy lies like why people 316 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,160 don't like it too much is all for all the wrong reasons. 317 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,920 I think a lot of people don't like the art in a book. 318 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,960 That's a separate conversation. I personally think half the art 319 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,200 is whack and half of it's great. It's really 5050 in the book. 320 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,960 If you flip through it, some of it's gorgeous, some of it just 321 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,840 looks like absolute buns. That's up to you, but the words 322 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,440 in the book are really good. I like a lot of the new rule 323 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,440 changes. I think it makes combat a lot 324 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,000 faster. It makes it much more 325 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,040 interesting. I think Marshall classes get a 326 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:34,360 great buff where they're not just so much as hack and slash 327 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,600 or if you're not a Battle Master Fighter. 328 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,880 There's so much more that you can do that really speed things 329 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,120 up and keep it interesting and give them more agency, 330 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:45,400 especially early on. And I really think that if the 331 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,960 2024 rule set, because I haven't seen a campaign use these rule 332 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,840 sets yet, I'm sure there's one or two out there. 333 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,560 I really think we can do it justice and I feel like if we 334 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,280 play it more, people might like it when it's portrayed in the 335 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,480 right way perhaps, or portrayed differently. 336 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,520 What do you guys think about it? I don't, I don't know if I have 337 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,160 much else to say about it. I think it's a good system. 338 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:13,160 It's nice because you can plug and play old races and classes 339 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,120 and subclasses if you wanted. Like I'm going to be playing the 340 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:20,520 original, the original. I almost said the subclass, the 341 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,280 original artificer to start until we get the new rules in 342 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,520 December. We were supposed to have them by 343 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,400 now, so I'm a little upset about that, but yeah. 344 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,040 They were supposed to come out in August I think. 345 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,160 It was, yeah. And right, did they push it 346 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,400 back? They did push it back. 347 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,560 It did. So it'll be coming out in 348 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,520 December. I already have it pre-ordered. 349 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:42,600 I've had a pre-order for a while and right now I'm just Tasha's, 350 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,360 I'm Tasha's almost said it again. 351 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,600 Artificer. I'm Tasha's artificer and it's 352 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,800 it's really easy to just plug and play. 353 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,880 That's the original way that I that was in Tasha's Cauldron 354 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,960 where they made it official. It came before. 355 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,720 That I think it's an Eberon. It. 356 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,800 It's also. Adds to the subclass. 357 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,080 Yeah, I don't I. Don't I think. 358 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,000 I think it's added subclasses. You might be right. 359 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,960 Yeah, but if you look on D and the D&D Beyond, it does say 360 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,680 Tasha's Yeah thing. But. 361 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,080 But real quick one, the IT it definitely a lot of the the 362 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,520 spells and things like that make it the ambiguity. 363 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,640 I can't even say that word I could say last night there. 364 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,760 Ambiguity the. Ambiguous rules on some of the 365 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,840 the spells is definitely cleared up a lot, which is a bummer for 366 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,960 someone who likes to thread the needle a little bit like myself. 367 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:47,240 But I will say we since this is session zero and this may be the 368 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,920 in first introduction for a lot of people, we should probably 369 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,080 say what we're playing because we've said our character names, 370 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,320 whichever we're from Dan. Just I just said it right. 371 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,960 Eluded what? He's coming through, yeah. 372 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,480 Well, we're kind of going broad into specifics, so maybe we 373 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,520 should save. Yeah, like Dan mentioned, 374 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,320 Octopus, Sir, But yeah, what we'll save that for. 375 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,520 Yeah. Because people want to do what 376 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,160 the characters are. But like, what do you think 377 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,560 about that's true the new rules? Yeah, what do you? 378 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,400 Think Well, I am. I am definitely the newest. 379 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,800 Although I've dabbled here and there, I've been kicked out of 380 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,920 many D&D campaigns. Now I I'm seeing. 381 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,080 You know this during the interview process. 382 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320 Do we know that little fat dog? She's she's a. 383 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,800 Bad girl, that's why I picked her. 384 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,400 She loves PvP, she just likes to literally just fight the other 385 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,320 players. So it's my. 386 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,480 Favorite on the table on the table, by the way. 387 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,840 Me and Alec are definitely funny. 388 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,360 We're definitely funny. If anyone's going to be me and 389 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,640 Alec for sure. But yeah, you, you said you're, 390 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,760 I mean, you, you have played a little. 391 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,240 So you know the basics of D&D, but this will be your first time 392 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,640 with 2024, right? Yeah. 393 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,280 So I I haven't gone too in depth on what's changed and what 394 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,480 hasn't. I like that there are new things 395 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,560 coming in. I like when rules are cleared up 396 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,320 because although I also like to thread the needle a little bit, 397 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,960 I'm a big fan. Boulders gate helped like kind 398 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,600 of align things for me. I love piling grease and fire to 399 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,720 make things explode, but that's sometimes not always the best 400 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,360 thing. So I from what I've heard is 401 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:38,600 that there's a lot more structure on the rules and like 402 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040 how you, you know, run in combat. 403 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,680 So that might be good. Other than that, I know next to 404 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,440 nothing. So I'm just excited to try out 405 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,760 the new one and hopefully help people see if they like it too. 406 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,600 Yeah, I, I, I think it's going to honestly go over great. 407 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,880 I think it's going to open, open some eyes and new perspectives 408 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,440 to the rule set. I think if they listen in. 409 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,040 Yeah, I think a lot of the issue is people don't like change. 410 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,480 Yeah, I think it's horseshit, to be honest. 411 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,800 Absolutely horseshit, and now that I know that Dan's playing 412 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,400 the old version of his class, I almost think it's only fair that 413 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,280 I get to play the old version of my class until Dan has to play 414 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,800 the new. Version until I Yeah. 415 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,080 No, no, no. Then we said look. 416 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,520 Aiden. Transfer over to the 2020. 417 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,760 No, no, no, So I did give you the option. 418 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,840 The only thing you want to play the 2014 version or the 2024 419 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,600 version, but you have to choose in the beginning. 420 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:36,880 Dan should have had his character by now. 421 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,440 Was it the coast of fucking shit in their pants on that one? 422 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,120 And Jared's doesn't exist is being approved but I allow him 423 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,280 to use that but he doesn't have an old version. 424 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,280 Oh wait, so I can play the old version of my class? 425 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,400 But you have to be it that path like that. 426 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,200 What's the word Skill tree? We'll call it, right? 427 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,920 The level progression you have to follow that you can't choose 428 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,080 to use the 2024 version whenever you want. 429 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,680 OK, OK. Yeah. 430 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,720 And if you play the new 2024, you can use 2014 subclasses if 431 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,280 you like. That's always on the table 432 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,360 because they are backwards compatible. 433 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,600 It's only like what the level progression? 434 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,240 Really don't like about the whole. 435 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,520 The Divine Smite and we'll talk about this. 436 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,920 Yeah, Wow. I think it's a very good about 437 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,480 it. Just wow, just talk about my 438 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,320 characters abilities. He's like, we'll see guys. 439 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,720 You're playing for. Later, right got to leave. 440 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,200 What mine is. Let. 441 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,600 Me drop. Yours off that. 442 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,360 While we're there, well, if you were listening to the live 443 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:42,200 stream, they technically no OK. Yeah, of course. 444 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:42,880 So. Right, I'm dropping. 445 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,240 Home brew rules that are yeah, happening, Tony. 446 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,160 Yes, we have 4, a total of eight, well, seven. 447 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,840 We have 7 rules that we're putting into effect. 448 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Four of them are home brew. What did you tell us about the 449 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,320 first one? Yeah, the first one is one that 450 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,120 we kind of adopted late in the campaign. 451 00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:03,720 One, we all really liked it and it's great. 452 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:10,400 So potion rule is if you take it as a bonus action, you would 453 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,800 roll for like the outcome. So like if you're taking health 454 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,640 potion, you would have to roll the whatever D fours to get the 455 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,640 total. But if you want to take it as a 456 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,240 full action, so instead of like attacking or something like 457 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,600 that, then you can get the entire great benefit. 458 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,680 So if it's like 10 D four, you're getting all 40 of that 459 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,160 plus whatever the the modifier on it is. 460 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:40,320 So we all really liked it and it's going to be we're bringing 461 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,920 into campaign too. Yeah, and by the way, potions 462 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,320 are all potions are not bonus. Actions. 463 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,560 That's why 2024 I was using health as an example but like. 464 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,760 There may be potions that I give you guys that will be you have 465 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,600 to take on a full turn because of the benefit that you can get 466 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,640 from it or I mean, it's like a lot more liquid. 467 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,560 I might make it like, you know, funny burden. 468 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,200 I've got this to do yeah. We're. 469 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:11,000 Turning into a bird once and that was a full turn of mine. 470 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,760 Man, I I'm really glad I brought this big gulp health potion. 471 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,840 Just just smiling. Just. 472 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,600 I'll be there, I'll be there in a minute. 473 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,800 I'm a crafted key all right pack bro. 474 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,640 That way I can just have it on my back. 475 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,040 Oh my God. Yeah, there you go. 476 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,840 Just get a little sip. I'm so happy we're doing the 477 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,960 Perkins crit, by the way. Yes, so #2 we're doing Perkins 478 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,360 crit, we're bringing it back. So you're gonna, if you roll a 479 00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:42,760 crit, you're gonna get full damage and then you roll another 480 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,600 dice to see what the extra damage is. 481 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,240 So Kylie's maybe new to you but normally when people crit they 482 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,280 will roll again and then add the add whatever damage. 483 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,760 Just double the dice. This Yeah, they'll double the 484 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,240 dice. This one we're you do full 485 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,520 damage for the first one and then the second one's your 486 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,800 addition. So it's which is kind of cool. 487 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,520 It just makes crit, it's consistent, more damage if you 488 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,640 crit this way, which is kind of fun, and it's just more 489 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,120 exciting. So the full wording on it is you 490 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:19,760 do Max weapon damage, so if your weapon does 1D10 it, it's 10 491 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,760 damage plus whatever you would roll normally. 492 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,040 So we'd roll 1D10 plus mods. So if you roll 717 damage. 493 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,200 Sweet. OK. 494 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,640 Dan, why don't you get the next one? 495 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,120 Yeah, this is one that Alec came up with last season. 496 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:40,680 I was going to say last campaign where we forego movement or are 497 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,840 able to use a bonus action to do checks in combat. 498 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,800 It just helps clean things up. Bless your soul. 499 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,680 I was watching that wind up too. Like it was real bad exercise 500 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,880 right now. Right. 501 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,560 So Kylie, what how how it works is like, there are often times 502 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,320 like moments where we want to know information in the middle 503 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,680 of combat, but it becomes really messy when, you know, we're 504 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,440 constantly asking him for information and it just slows 505 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,880 things down. So now we made it where, OK, we 506 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,160 can just use a bonus action or give up all of your movement in 507 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,000 that. Then you get to roll that check 508 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,040 like, oh, wait, can I see if they have a vulnerability on 509 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,960 their leg or something? You know, can I see if there's a 510 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,960 way out of this mess As we're fighting that kind of stuff, it 511 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,360 helps. It helps make combat more of a 512 00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:38,840 puzzle as well. So it's not just we have to hack 513 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,760 and slash out of every situation. 514 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,320 Yeah. And maybe the most exciting one 515 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,800 for you is the 4th humble rule there. 516 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,800 I was bullied into this one. I did not wanted to give you 517 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,960 guys this one at all. I was bullied. 518 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,240 Why not? Just fuck you. 519 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,280 That's why, Dan, All right, if you really wanted all the honest 520 00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,840 reason. If you want all the honest 521 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,280 reason, that's why. It's a free feat. 522 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,040 Everyone gets a free feat of their choice as long as their 523 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,480 character is fits. Is it a prerequisites? 524 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,040 You get a free feature. So Kylie, one of the things that 525 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:21,840 Armos had in the first one that I took was, was it inspiring? 526 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,040 What? Was it called hiring? 527 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,280 Leader Yeah, it was something like that. 528 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,400 So basically Armos consistently was doing a 10 minute speeches 529 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,320 to give everyone like extra temporary hit points and Tony 530 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,600 would make me try to role play it so many times and after a 531 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,720 while just got ridiculous. So then by the end of the 532 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,440 campaign I was doing like full monologues on on stuff, which is 533 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,360 kind of fun. The next three rules are already 534 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,280 rules in the game, but we are choosing to implement. 535 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520 The one I'm choosing to implement is encumbrance. 536 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,880 Because we are using a main city hub where characters will live, 537 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,800 I'm enforcing encumbrance. So I will be loose when it comes 538 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,200 to like, like you don't need to do wait time. 539 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,120 Strength is what you can hold. But like if you find a chest of 540 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,120 gold or you find something that is noticeably heavy or you have 541 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760 also the venturing gear that you think you may be out of the city 542 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,440 for a week or two, I will make you keep track of it. 543 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,400 And I will force you to like have carts and things like that 544 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,720 to travel with and to take care of. 545 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,600 And I will, if you guys say you're going to a cave, OK, and 546 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,040 you have all this camping gear, are you leaving the giant card 547 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,680 that can't fit in The Cave outside? 548 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,880 How are you hiding it? What are you leaving with it? 549 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,760 You know, and those things are at the will of the environment. 550 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,120 So if you're in a dangerous area and stuff like that, things 551 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,720 could get stolen, destroyed, missing. 552 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,240 Because you guys are going to have this next rule. 553 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,000 We are using the bastion system in this campaign, which is 554 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,880 basically, if you don't know what the bastion system is, it's 555 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,920 basically you have a house. So the Azeros is written, it 556 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,960 says it's a safe place where the DM can't touch. 557 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,200 That is not true. We are not playing with that 558 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:11,640 rule, but you can fortify it. You are in a city, so it's not 559 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,160 going to be like, oh, a bunch of goblins attacked your house, but 560 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,320 it is going to be something that you can upgrade. 561 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,280 It will give you benefits because we're going to be using 562 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,560 downtime in this campaign and we are following the calendar of 563 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,640 Harpdos. So there's going to be events 564 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,760 that happen on specific days. We're going to follow the 565 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,400 holidays. We're going to keep track of the 566 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,240 dates and all that. We're trying to keep to a true 567 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,120 D&D campaign, like you would play at your table for people 568 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,520 who don't stream their campaigns. 569 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,560 We're trying to make this as honest to the table as possible. 570 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,120 Table, table to podcast, I would call it, you know, like for, you 571 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,320 know, from farm to table. So we're doing table podcast to 572 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,720 table, you know, or table to podcast. 573 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,800 That's what we're doing. And the last thing is that all 574 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,840 dice rolls and boss fights are going to be made above the table 575 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,440 because I've warned these players that death is much more 576 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,440 prevalence in this campaign. Now, I'm not trying to go out 577 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,040 and kill you right off the bat, but if the boss gets 3, not 20s 578 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,640 in a row, I don't want to make, I don't want to be called 579 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,200 getting fudged on. You know what I'm saying? 580 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,640 I don't want to say I'm fudging rolls. 581 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,520 Everything is going to be made above the table and we're going 582 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,360 to let the we're going to let the dice tell the story. 583 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,760 OK this. Was also, per my request, more 584 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,520 so of a logistic thing because I want to be able to just see the 585 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,400 damage and if I forget, look back and do the math without 586 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,280 having to ask. Tony, we we've wasted so many 587 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,200 minutes re asking stuff in the podcast and that's also going to 588 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,880 just help us keep all the information ready and available 589 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,760 for us. And it's more exciting for us if 590 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,960 all of a sudden it's like the boss attacks you. 591 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,960 Oh, no, we all react before Tony even says it's a 20 or something 592 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:52,680 like that. Yeah. 593 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,120 Yes. So for the encumbrance, so 594 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,840 you're saying if I get like a pocket dimension and I throw all 595 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,320 the gold into it, but I'm good at that point? 596 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,720 Yes. OK, Cool, cool, cool. 597 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,120 Yeah. By the way, question that should 598 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,480 have been answered Ash yesterday, what happened all? 599 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,120 Oh, yeah, What happened all the way? 600 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,160 I mean, you have access to it. I mean, we didn't we're. 601 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:19,400 Almost there with it. Wait, do you have access to it? 602 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,760 We may have to do a one shot. Yeah, right. 603 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,840 We may have to do a one shot. So here's a question I want to 604 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,440 ask all of you live. Are we live right now? 605 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,440 Are we? Yes. 606 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,640 Or because we talked about it, we're going to debate about it 607 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,800 now because this is something that I want and it's something 608 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,640 that we discussed last campaign that out was thrown out the 609 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,360 window because the dice rolls are being made above the table. 610 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,640 So there's full transparency for boss fights and key events and 611 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,440 things like that. And by the way, this is our 612 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,200 attack rolls and Dex and like saving throws with masters, not 613 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,120 what's behind the door or, you know, story stuff like that. 614 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:05,920 Should we keep death saving throws hidden between DM and 615 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,199 player so that other party members? 616 00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,760 Because that was 4 of you don't know if like someone's on life 617 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,000 support or not. I like the idea of that. 618 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,800 I don't know if everybody else does. 619 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,400 In the first campaign, we decided to keep it above table 620 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,239 for the excitement, but I think this is going to be a more 621 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,560 serious, toned campaign. They're still going to be a lot 622 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,239 of comedy, it's just what we do. But I think I think it would 623 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,840 help with some of the serious moments if if it's between 624 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,280 player and DM. How do we role play that without 625 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:47,719 obviously just saying like? What I would do as so say if you 626 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,400 passed or failed, right, if somebody wanted to use, so we'll 627 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,639 talk about one of the rules that we just set, wanted to forego a 628 00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:58,280 bonus action or movement action to investigate somebody like, 629 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,360 hey, Dan is down 30 feet, what can I tell? 630 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,680 I want to make a, a perception check to see how he's doing. 631 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,280 And depending on what he rolls, if he rolls like really high, 632 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,120 he'd be like he's spitting up blood, which means he's not 633 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,000 doing good, which means he probably failed that last check, 634 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,360 right? Or like if somebody failed like 635 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,120 2 out of three of their roles and they go to check on him, 636 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,240 like what do I see? I'm like, he's puddling blood. 637 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,520 Like blood is starting to just ooze out of him. 638 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:30,160 Say Dan, Dan's down, right? What is Dan role-playing that 639 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,680 isn't so like it where we were running into an issue with this 640 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,520 last one is that dance down and he's like, help, I'm playing 641 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,120 like profusely. How does that not portray what 642 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,720 he already rolled as opposed to rolling it over the table? 643 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:47,080 You know what I mean? Like I feel like his his 644 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,560 performance is going to tell us exactly what's going on. 645 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,680 I think it's up to the other players to role play it. 646 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,800 Personally, I think it's. I agree. 647 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,080 Yeah, if he's so conscious now. We don't. 648 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,960 I don't. I'm not role-playing shit. 649 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,160 If I'm down, you guys got either save me or not. 650 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,520 And that becomes a dramatic part of the podcast, you know what I 651 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,680 mean? No, no, no, no. 652 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,200 Yeah, obviously we're going to try to save you, but I mean like 653 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,920 the if you're down. Are you? 654 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,240 Just can you not talk because I feel like if you whatever you 655 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:17,840 say tells us what that role, I don't. 656 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,520 Think any of us talked? Well, I don't think Campaign won 657 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,760 any of us. Once we were knocked unconscious 658 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:23,880 and doing death. Same Rose. 659 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,000 None of us talked. It was only like me mean like if 660 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,720 we were like getting like fucked up or something then we would 661 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:30,520 talk about. I don't know. 662 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,800 I remember Jared going help me, help me. 663 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,240 That. Was Jared not getting stepped on 664 00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:40,520 by a giant lizard? And he's like help me. 665 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,760 That was Jared talking, not Armos. 666 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,000 I don't know exact instance you're talking about, but that 667 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,440 sounds like me. Maybe a little bit. 668 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,440 I mean, that's sounds fun to me. I think I didn't want to do it 669 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,200 in the middle of a campaign, but I I don't think if we started 670 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,240 with day one, I don't have an issue with it. 671 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,480 I don't have a preference either way. 672 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,360 I just want to make sure that like it's more interesting doing 673 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:04,440 it this way. Like, I think it's more 674 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,880 interesting for us, but I just want to make sure it's more 675 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,880 interesting for the listener. Yeah, well, that's for us to 676 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,320 figure out right now. My votes doesn't do it. 677 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,520 Under the table. Yeah. 678 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,520 If you're under the table, put your hand up. 679 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,480 If you're above the table, keep your hands down. 680 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:30,000 I don't wait under the table, So what what I would do so in the 681 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,840 in the sound effects, I'd probably put like a negative 682 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,400 sound effect on it, like a dreadful one or a hopeful one, 683 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,240 but never won't actually say anything. 684 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,200 So death saving throws will be under the table from DM to 685 00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:48,120 player, and it's up to the other adventurers to decide if he's in 686 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,640 good condition or not. Figure that out. 687 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,600 Awesome, love it. I love it. 688 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,320 I think that's great. So with that effect, we went 689 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,400 over the Bastion system. They're going to have homes. 690 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,760 If they choose to buy one, it's going to be their home base. 691 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,800 If they want to do Dow time activities, it'll be done in 692 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,680 those locations. There's going to be world events 693 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,400 that happen. So if they want to wait for a 694 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,520 holiday or like there's a heist on the 17th, right, they may 695 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,360 have a few days. So they may it'll be easier to 696 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,600 do time skips if the players don't want to just like fill out 697 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,520 three days of adventure and they want to just like, hey, I want 698 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,000 to do downtime towards this goal or whatever, you know, I want to 699 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,600 get this item or gain this ability. 700 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,600 So the next thing I'm going to introduce is the XP system. 701 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,680 So we are still doing milestone leveling. 702 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,600 I will level you up at the appropriate times. 703 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:49,480 Every monster in this in DD has XP and I'm going to award XP to 704 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,720 the killing blow and keep basically just keep stats on 705 00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,760 everything. How many monsters you guys kill? 706 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,080 How much gold you have accrued throughout the entire campaign? 707 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,880 Kind of like awards that you'd get at the end of a Mario Party 708 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,920 game. They're. 709 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,440 Doing all the stars is what? You're saying? 710 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,720 Yeah, yes. So at the end of the campaign, 711 00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:14,080 in four years from now, we're going to see, oh, Alec has got 712 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,600 the final blow on all these characters Or, And then when I 713 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,640 award cool moments, when you do something really cool, I'm going 714 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,280 to give you an XP value. So like if Dan did like a cool 715 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,800 backflip over a monster to kill another monster, I'm going to be 716 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,280 like, you're awarded 50XP points. 717 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,120 It's just flashy numbers. It's just flashy numbers, but 718 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,840 I'm going to give you XP and at the end of the campaign and even 719 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,440 at the end of arcs, we're going to like show like the point 720 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,120 system to see where like everyone is. 721 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,240 It just gamifies D and DA little bit. 722 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:45,280 I think it's going to be a lot of fun. 723 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,080 It's just something that going on in the background a a way to 724 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,320 keep score for bragging rights, but it will not affect your 725 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,480 characters directly. Or the story. 726 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,200 I'm going to make a new character. 727 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,800 So with that, before we talk about our characters, I want to 728 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,880 open what Boulderis looks like. So we talked about this hub that 729 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,280 the players are going to be living in and coming back and 730 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,440 forth to. And I spent a lot of time on 731 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,560 this and I will be polishing it up as we go along. 732 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,040 But this is the city of Boulderis. 733 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,400 It is a huge city map with many different districts and with 734 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,720 different many different biomes. And you have, you know, upper 735 00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:28,040 classes, middle classes, lower class farm districts, and 736 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,560 everything is neatly inside these walls. 737 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,840 So this map is also detailed enough that we can zoom in at 738 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,320 high quality because it's also a map to walk around and traverse 739 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,400 through. So if there's ever anything 740 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,440 happening within the city, you will be playing directly on this 741 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,720 map here with alleyways, different buildings, buildings 742 00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:51,760 that you can enter in. There's also an underbelly of 743 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,120 the city which is found over here where there's like, you 744 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,680 know, mines and things like that where people harvest like coal 745 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,840 and mine for different elements. There's a whole city structure. 746 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,240 There's a nice little cemetery. We have the stacks over here, 747 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,400 which is a group of buildings where some of the shadier or 748 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:16,800 outlandish races hang out like skunkins or tobaccys or anything 749 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,720 in those nature weird, weird critters who want to stay away 750 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,400 further away from town. Now the thing I want to say 751 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,080 about this city, and of course we have the city center, which 752 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,360 is the town square where all big events will be held in. 753 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:37,800 This city does not have a king. It is not a king and queen 754 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:38,960 system. I'm forgetting the name. 755 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,440 What is that called? Oligarchy. 756 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,760 Oligarchy. Yes, it is run on a type of 757 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,640 democracy. There are five major guilds in 758 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,960 Boldaris and the five guilds come together for all major city 759 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,560 decisions and pretty much just put everything up to a vote. 760 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,560 And there's all these different guilds within the city and I'll 761 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,000 briefly go over them if you'd like. 762 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,280 Give us the basic idea of each Guild. 763 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:11,160 So each Guild represents a different ideology or a no, no, 764 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,040 no, no, it's not. The Fighters Guild, like 765 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:19,160 fighters and martial classes may be more partial to 1:00 because 766 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,880 of what they represents, but they're not like specific or 767 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,600 fighters major, whatever. So the five guilds of the House 768 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,440 of Arms, which is more of the military and where martial 769 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,920 classes would lead towards there's the Tower of Scholars, 770 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,200 which is more of the intellectuals and more people 771 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,120 who our favorite of the arcane through study. 772 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,520 They're the ones that actually take care of the city. 773 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,440 Like like future proof things. They see how like, oh, if we 774 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,640 build a building here, how would it affect the rest of the city 775 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,160 and kind of keep things with a with an even flow. 776 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,400 Then there's the Observers of the Astral, which is a 777 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,840 relatively new Guild within the five which observed more of the 778 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,520 like they observe the stars and outer worldly things they keep 779 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,840 they bring everyone humble that they are just a small part of 780 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,200 the world of Hebraea and their decisions affect a bigger and 781 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,560 grander scale. Then there's the Abundsmans of 782 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,440 Dragons, the abundsman of Dragons, which are those who 783 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,360 speak for Dragons because Dragons are very particular 784 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,800 about their land and if they're making any major changes to the 785 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,400 world, how will how would it affect Dragons? 786 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,720 Would it offended Dragons? Would it and broach on their 787 00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:35,680 territory. So whenever a major decision is 788 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,760 made, they kind of speak for them like hey, if we go in this 789 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,160 forest and kind of like, you know, tear down the forest for 790 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,840 lumber, green Dragons might be pissed at that. 791 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,280 And they keep everyone in check because Dragons can level a city 792 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,800 very easily. You know, although there are 793 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,000 evil Dragons, they do like to keep people around because it 794 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,320 also benefits them. It's like a give and take and 795 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,360 they speak for them. And then lastly, we have the 796 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,840 nature's branch, which do the same thing as the buzzword of 797 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,880 Dragons, but on a nature level. So like once again, leveling a 798 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,640 forest, how would that affect wildlife, the endemic life? 799 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,720 How does things that happen with inner city will affect everyone 800 00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:17,040 around the city through like nature and and things like that. 801 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,320 So all of these different representations kind of keep 802 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,520 everything in a kind of like a massive quality control check to 803 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,000 make sure that life is good with inner city as well as out of it. 804 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,960 Because they don't want to piss anything off because they just 805 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,200 came out of a like a world cataclysmic event. 806 00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:38,880 They know that a great force can come in and take him out at any 807 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,240 time. So they want to keep everything 808 00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:43,840 balanced. And that's like what the goal of 809 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,640 the five guilds are. So there are people within the 810 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,120 city that fund these guilds, like when they pay their taxes 811 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,480 or donate, they'll donate it in the name of like the House of 812 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,520 Arms or the Tower of Scholars to kind of gain favor. 813 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,280 And you know, if they don't like what one Guild is doing, they 814 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,120 can potentially get like pushed out or like the leaders of those 815 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,560 specific guilds can get pushed out. 816 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,320 And there are smaller guilds within the city, but they don't 817 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,520 have that political favor that these guilds have. 818 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,920 Like the smaller guilds there are fighter guilds there are 819 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,360 like brawler gills is like underground thieves gills and 820 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,640 stuff like that that you would find in a normal ZZ campaign, 821 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,880 but they're not. They don't have that influence 822 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,640 that these guilds have. They're more like clubs. 823 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,520 Pretty much, yeah. It's the best way to put it, 824 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,800 yes. This is the city of Balderas. 825 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,040 I put a lot of work into it. I try to make it as detailed, 826 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,440 that we'd be polishing it over more as we go on. 827 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,120 But yeah, everything has a reason for where it is. 828 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,960 And I, I don't know. I'm kind of proud of it. 829 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,880 Kind of proud of it. I think it looks pretty cool. 830 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,240 I like it. Yes, and you it'll. 831 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,680 Be fun to figure out what's going on in this city. 832 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,640 Can't wait to break it. You can change. 833 00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,840 The city, I think I just saw Vivian there. 834 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,760 There she was. So when we play, there will be 835 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,240 tokens, yeah, there will be like mass of people. 836 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,720 I hope roll 20 doesn't break on us, to be honest, with the 837 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:11,360 amount of assets that we're uploading to it. 838 00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:13,440 But yeah. I love how. 839 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,080 Tiled it is. I love walking around in, 840 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,640 especially in D&D. My favorite thing is just like 841 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,040 walking around places and learning them so. 842 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,520 How do you feel about shopping episodes? 843 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:31,680 Oh, I love those. I love how stupid people can get 844 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,480 and then it just pays off in the end. 845 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,560 Like if someone wants to get like a cup of water or something 846 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,200 like that. I still don't know what the cup 847 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,920 of water's for. I can't believe we didn't ask 848 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:42,480 that question. It's just a component. 849 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,000 It's just it. Was a component. 850 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,720 What? The simplest spells. 851 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,800 I think it was which? Which bold or something? 852 00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:55,880 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Did he get a cast wish? 855 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,600 Did he find a way to cast A wish behind the scenes? 856 00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,400 Oh. Man, the mobile you've been 857 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,480 waiting for. Let's talk about our characters 858 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,200 and we're start off with the newest member, Kylie. 859 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:20,080 Yes.

She's reserved, but she has been 864 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,360 very desperate to have friends and people around her while also 865 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,560 maintaining the fact that she is, you know, well to do. 866 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,400 She has face to save in the area. 867 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:57,960 So if she gets a little excited, she she, she gets flustered and 868 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:02,200 then she calms herself down and she's back to her normal noble 869 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,800 cadence.

No, it's during our reveal. 894 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,760 I was like, I didn't know I had a tail. 895 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,360 So do you have one of those thick dragon tails or is it like 896 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,600 a whippy devil tail? Oh, whippy devil tail. 897 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,400 One that just smacks you real fast. 898 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,400 She's kind of concealed behind her cloak. 899 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,800 She you don't see it too often, although she's quite visibly a 900 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,640 tea fling. She tries to keep, you know, 901 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,800 herself nice and proper, you know, all together. 902 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,880 Her tails not going everywhere unless probably overly excited 903 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,560 then maybe it's swinging around like a dog which I think would 904 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:54,240 be fun. But other than that she she is 905 00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:58,680 from the Sharma family but they do not fully claim her. 906 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:08,200 The she's seen as more of like help to the family so Vivian 907 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,720 doesn't. Matter reel back, reel back, 908 00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:11,200 reel back. Yeah. 909 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,120 That's all we'll say. That's all we'll say, but she 910 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,640 loves people, she does some weird things, and she's fun. 911 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,440 Dan, bless their yours. Wait, before we move on, I want 912 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,000 to know what's so being that this is going to be like your 913 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:33,600 first long time campaign, what is a goal or a desire, whatever 914 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,480 that is as a player that you really hope happens either just 915 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,200 as a players alone or with this specific character. 916 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,720 Without giving too much away. Yes, for myself, I hope I can 917 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:53,360 actually complete a full character arc that I enjoy 918 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:54,760 'cause I know my character's goal. 919 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,000 I hope I reach that goal. I will not share it unless you. 920 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:03,560 Jesus. And I, I hope I can go through 921 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,720 that whole arc with this character. 922 00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:10,880 And for this character, I hope that she is eventually able to 923 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,800 open up and be friendly towards others. 924 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:17,760 Just allow herself to be the person she she likes, not just 925 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,960 the person she has to show on the outside. 926 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:29,400 Yeah, very nice. Bo ram, Bo ram Duma Rey also got 927 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,720 a French last name. They're all. 928 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,640 I was talking to Tony. I think about this. 929 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,280 We all unintentionally like, threw little things into our 930 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,360 back story that I think all somehow intertwined perfectly 931 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,880 with one another. And I was like, oh, my gosh, we 932 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,080 got someone with a French name, Alex and the Faye Wilde, which 933 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,560 will relate to me in some way. And maybe something in my back 934 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,120 story might relate to Jared, but to be determined, I'm not going 935 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,160 to say anything about that one. I. 936 00:51:57,240 --> 00:52:00,480 Just want to say one thing about that of course yours does 937 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,720 because you gave me a 20 page fucking back story dude first of 938 00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:09,520 all you gave me 5 pages like extra small, no spacing, double 939 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,560 sided. OK Don't even go there dude. 940 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:16,560 OK, if I showed you ands compared to everyone else's. 941 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,280 I care about my characters. All right. 942 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,840 So Beau Ram, he, what I can't tell you is he was born into a 943 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:31,040 family of druids. So he lived in the swamps his 944 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,160 whole life. And for whatever reason, he's 945 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:42,200 had some issues of his own that make it difficult to stay in the 946 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,560 swamp. And he's venturing out to try 947 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,760 and solve a bunch of his problems, which there are many 948 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,240 of in his life. And he's a human artificer. 949 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,120 Don't know if I want to say much else outside of that, but maybe 950 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,920 you guys can come to conclusions. 951 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,720 You know, an artificer being born into a druid family. 952 00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:06,680 What that might mean for his back story. 953 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:12,000 He is a bit rugged, a little rough around the edges, but 954 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,240 still likes to dress up and try and stay clean. 955 00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:23,080 But he never can. Smokes a lot, gets into some 956 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:28,440 trouble, but not purposefully what I want my goal for, my goal 957 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,760 for Bo Ram. So Menace, Menace last campaign 958 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:37,080 was obviously he had a really good arc, but he was still very 959 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,440 one note. He was like, I want to do good, 960 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,280 I want to prove myself. That's what I'm doing. 961 00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:48,120 You know, Big thing going into this campaign for me was having 962 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:52,400 a bunch of secrets that we all kind of held to ourselves and 963 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,120 then got discovered as a campaign went on. 964 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,680 And that is just going to be more fun to do. 965 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,840 But for Bow Ram specifically, and what I want to happen with 966 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:07,640 this character is I want there to be a really big struggle to 967 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,560 be vulnerable with other characters. 968 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,280 That didn't really happen with Menace. 969 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,320 I want like minutes was like I wear my heart on my sleeve. 970 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,640 This is what's going on in my life. 971 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,760 I'm crying over everything. You guys should. 972 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,600 Why aren't you crying with me? Like that's minutes. 973 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,680 Beau Rams very much going to be like he's loud, he's boisterous, 974 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:32,360 but he he wants to figure things out on his own and he thinks he 975 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,280 can do everything on his own and he needs to discover, you know, 976 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,800 maybe I can be vulnerable and let people in and maybe there's, 977 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,640 you know, there are other people out there that I can connect 978 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,240 with. So that's that's I think all I'm 979 00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:54,040 going to give away about them is, you know, very vulnerable 980 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,680 guy, but doesn't show it on the outside. 981 00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,200 So I just I just want that to happen with Boram and I think 982 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,400 I'm going to have a really fun time. 983 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,840 He's got a New Orleans accent. Hello. 984 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,640 What does that sound like, Dan? You'll know Session 10 TuneIn. 985 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,840 For that. Gambit. 986 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,440 Right, no long I've been waiting for this. 987 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,360 Yeah, I'm just, that's literally Dan. 988 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,720 Dan just wanted an excuse to do a Gambit accent. 989 00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:27,000 So that's what he's. Going, oh, maybe you know what? 990 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,760 Maybe I can actually share some of my preliminary. 991 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:31,840 I'm gonna well, I'm finding this Jared. 992 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,720 You talk about your character. Algos, Are you ready? 993 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:37,240 Yeah. Yeah, you go first. 994 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,720 I'm pulling up my stuff. OK, yeah, no worries. 995 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:46,760 So yes, I am playing castle. Amber Leaf Castle is a autumn 996 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,640 Aladron. He is from the Faye Wild, as we 997 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:54,080 previously talked about. There are obviously four. 998 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,120 Well, I guess maybe not obviously if you're not familiar 999 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,760 with the Faye, but there are four courts within the Faye 1000 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,880 Wild. There's the autumn one, which 1001 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,840 castles from. There's the winter, spring and 1002 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,920 summer I might get. I might kind of save the I mean, 1003 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,440 I'll kind of talk about it. Like I said, he's a fall ladron, 1004 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:18,440 so he does have a fair to tan skin tone, golden blonde hair. 1005 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:28,320 He doesn't really put like flowers or leaves or anything in 1006 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,560 his hair, but he does like the symbols that represent the 1007 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,080 fallen or I mean the autumn court. 1008 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:40,240 So that is like leaves, bare trees, stuff like that. 1009 00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:43,960 A lot of that does represent the core and his religion. 1010 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,080 He is a paladin. Like I don't know if I've said 1011 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,920 that he is a paladin that he does worship the God Sahani Moon 1012 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:58,080 Bow. So his symbol and of the church 1013 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:03,040 is like a moon with like a weird like Crescent shape that like is 1014 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,360 over it. He's tall. 1015 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,480 And like I said. So one thing about Aladrin's are 1016 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,240 you can change the season that you are. 1017 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,160 I think Tony and I kind of talked about it and we, I mean, 1018 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:22,000 even though I can do it on a long rest while I'm trancing, I 1019 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,840 think we're going to do it based off story if that ever comes up. 1020 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:31,800 Right now I don't plan on changing which Aladrin season he 1021 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:36,280 is, but because he is a fall Aladrin, his eyes are like that 1022 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,640 forest colored like bright green. 1023 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,840 But yeah, very excited. I think it'll look really cool. 1024 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:49,720 And that is Castle. What was your thoughts going in? 1025 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:56,120 Wouldn't create your character. Yeah, so I wanted to play 1026 00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,040 something that was mainly again, but I didn't want to just play a 1027 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,680 fighter again. So I also thought the Paladin 1028 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:08,680 story was really cool. So I wanted to have some sort of 1029 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,880 spell casting paladins. They have a little bit, they get 1030 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,240 to do smite. And that's kind of what Tony and 1031 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:18,400 I were talking about earlier about the transition from 2014 1032 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:22,480 rules to 2024 rules is the paladins Smite I believe counts 1033 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,440 as a spell spell slot. Yeah. 1034 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,600 So spell slots are now counted towards smite when in the 1035 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:35,560 previous versions they weren't. So one of the main things is I 1036 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,120 didn't, and I kind of talked about this during the live 1037 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,400 stream. I didn't want to do like drill 2 1038 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:46,920 point O. So we I'm I'm going to have to 1039 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,640 try to find that line where he is a paladin. 1040 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,840 He is on a mission. He's very serious and determined 1041 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,680 to right the wrongs that were committed against him. 1042 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:03,960 But you know, Alec is a very light hearted, I like to crack 1043 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,400 jokes. So that's really where that 1044 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,240 stemmed from. Trell and a lot of the other 1045 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,880 characters that I've played, whether it's our one shots or 1046 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,200 you know, Halloween sessions or something like that. 1047 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:20,680 So trying to find the difference in keeping that difference and 1048 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:25,600 not blurring the 2 characters is like really my only goal that I 1049 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,200 have right now with like playing a new character in campaign too. 1050 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,400 Well, I'm excited to. I'm excited to hear more about 1051 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,280 him as he we get into it. Yeah, yeah, very excited. 1052 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,960 Having someone from a different plane of existence makes things 1053 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:39,840 very interesting. I thought that would kind of be 1054 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:44,200 cool, right? Because he is, he's like 1000 1055 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,600 years old or something like that. 1056 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:50,440 I haven't like I have it written down somewhere, but in you know, 1057 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,960 we can now also kind of talk about this. 1058 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,600 The Fay wild time, like shadow fell time is different, right. 1059 00:59:55,600 --> 01:00:05,360 So he's not super old, but he was alive like wow, Drell Armos 1060 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,280 and Menace were going around in Umbrella, but he was just in the 1061 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,960 Fay living his life. So kind of having. 1062 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,760 That as he comes to the Material plane and being like, wait, 1063 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,880 what? Like the last time I was here, 1064 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,320 like, what are you talking about? 1065 01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,840 So it's going to be interesting. And I think that story in itself 1066 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,240 where that little subplot line is going to be kind of 1067 01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,560 interesting. Well, little note I'll add about 1068 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,000 the Fay wild is that there's no my little spin is that there's 1069 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,000 no day and night cycle in the wild. 1070 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,640 It's whatever the season is for the related to the court because 1071 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,720 the courts are the dominant presence in the Faywell. 1072 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,320 So like the summer courts always daytime, you know, and winter 1073 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,640 it's always night time. And then areas are areas around 1074 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,680 those courts will follow depending on where they are. 1075 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,720 So some areas are permanently in night, some areas are 1076 01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,880 permanently in twilight. So time is perceived differently 1077 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,560 there. Yeah, yeah. 1078 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:04,840 Very. A little interesting, a little 1079 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,760 food for thought, yeah. All right, go for it, Jared all. 1080 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:15,680 Right. Mylan Vaxson, he is a red panda. 1081 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:26,640 He is the size of a halfling cobalt, so about 3 feet tall. 1082 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:31,200 So he's a tiny little guy. He's exactly what you think a 1083 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,520 red panda would look like in a humanoid kind of form. 1084 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:41,440 The characteristics that are that I brought over, that I, I 1085 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,920 talked about, if you watched our last episode, is that his right 1086 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:51,400 eyebrow has like a, a scar on it, which is the same thing that 1087 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:54,920 Armos had. Bisexual. 1088 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:55,920 Yes. Yes. 1089 01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:07,280 No, that's my carrier. But yeah, so that's one thing. 1090 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:11,400 So I mentioned this in the episode yesterday that we did 1091 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,760 where I just, that's just one of those things that I wanted to 1092 01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,600 bring over with all my characters is just have that as 1093 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,280 like a fun characteristic. But where it's gonna be 1094 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:27,520 different is that he is a scion and his eyes are different 1095 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:28,760 colours. So what is it called? 1096 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:33,600 Heterochromachromia chromia. Yes, that's the one. 1097 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:41,400 So his left eye is a normal kind of, you know, golden color. 1098 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,920 And then his right eye is actually where the scar is as 1099 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:49,760 well, is a kind of a glow's teal, faintly. 1100 01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,880 So his. Red pandas don't exist in D&D. 1101 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,600 Yes. So the way that we're flavoring 1102 01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:03,480 this is that he's a tabaccy. Yes, we use the Tobaxi race stat 1103 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,960 block and flavoring it as a red panda. 1104 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,720 It was the closest thing. So rather than making a whole 1105 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,520 new subclass, I'm like, Oh yeah, red pandas could do the same 1106 01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,760 things that Tobaxis do and they have climbing speed and all 1107 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,400 that. So mechanically he's a Tobaxi. 1108 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,800 Same thing what we did with Menace. 1109 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,400 He's a Minotaur, He's gnome. We had gnome athletes stats, but 1110 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,800 he's a minotaur flavor in the sameator. 1111 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:26,920 Yeah, we're doing the same thing. 1112 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:31,920 So for someone who has no idea what a scion is, what is a 1113 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:37,040 scion? They are the I think the only 1114 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:42,800 intelligence based class in the game is that no I guess Wizards. 1115 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,320 Wizards. Yeah, me. 1116 01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:49,480 Wizards, Artificers, Wizards. Scions now. 1117 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,240 Oh, are they OK? OK, yeah, Scion. 1118 01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:57,040 So they're 100% intelligence based, which they can have four 1119 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,760 different subclasses. One of them and they, what they 1120 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,120 do is they use their mind to interact with everything. 1121 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,960 So they're, you know, psychic in, in some way. 1122 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,800 Either they can move things or manipulate their body in certain 1123 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,040 ways or manipulate the environment around them, which 1124 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,760 is kind of interesting. So they, they can do a lot of 1125 01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,160 different things. There's four different 1126 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,680 subclasses. Each one is very different from 1127 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,800 each other. You can be an intelligence melee 1128 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,520 and that's what I was gonna say is that they're the only one of 1129 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,640 those. But I guess articipers, I guess 1130 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:33,040 are kind of can be that with with certain ones of their 1131 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,200 class. But regardless, they're new, 1132 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,720 they're fun. I know a little about them and 1133 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:41,920 I'm just excited to to kind of mess with it. 1134 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,040 Which will be cool. Eldridge Knights would like to 1135 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,040 have a word with you, Jared. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 1136 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,480 Nice. But what I was saying about his 1137 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:56,640 eye, his eye and his scar and his eyebrow and also his right 1138 01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:05,240 ear are kind of frayed as well. And the they glow in that teal 1139 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,840 kind of thing. So the teal is to kind of give 1140 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,200 off the psychic kind of vibe. I didn't want to use purple 1141 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,480 since it was kind of already overdone and I wanted to use 1142 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:19,800 something kind of fun and new. But like I said before, he's 1143 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:26,480 from his wood vein part of the continent. 1144 01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:33,600 And yeah, the reasoning behind my character is I wanted to do 1145 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,520 something completely different than Armos. 1146 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:43,040 He Armos was vengeful, angry, nothing got in his way. 1147 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:48,760 So this character is going to be a massive departure from that is 1148 01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:54,040 the is the idea. So hopefully turns out well from 1149 01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,360 what I created in the back story. 1150 01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,360 I put a lot of work into it and I hope that it pays off. 1151 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:06,280 We'll see. But and I'm so excited. 1152 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,680 But yeah, there's a lot of a lot of complex behind that little 1153 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,760 behind those furry, furry exterior. 1154 01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:17,480 A lot of complexity behind this red panda ears. 1155 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,200 Right. And by the way, I love red 1156 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:21,520 pandas. So that's why I was like, I got 1157 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:25,160 to do it like, yeah, I got to put so much like I was like, OK, 1158 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,360 well, what do I, what do I want my character to be? 1159 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,520 And I was like, well. What is, what is, what is your 1160 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,640 goal for this campaign with this character besides just being 1161 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,920 like different from Armos? I mean, that was really the, 1162 01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:41,720 it's so hard to like almost had just every story you could I 1163 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,720 would want to tell ever like a venge, like a revenge story. 1164 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,800 He kind of started off as a blank canvas and became a 1165 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,200 complex character, which I think was really cool. 1166 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:59,760 So this one, yeah, I think he's going to be a little bit more 1167 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,160 focused on what I want to tell the story. 1168 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:06,800 I don't I don't want to say too much about it, but also have fun 1169 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:12,520 along the way and not be as I felt like Armos had to be kind 1170 01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,240 of like the leader in in a lot of ways, not like that we he had 1171 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,240 was leading, but like he was always like, all right, here we 1172 01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:20,120 go. We got to go this way. 1173 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,080 We got to do this. You know, this, this one. 1174 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,360 He's going to be more of a kind of taking a taking a back seat 1175 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,800 to to doing that. You may have to go and run after 1176 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,360 him and chase. We have just a paladin over 1177 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:31,480 here. Exactly. 1178 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,000 So I don't know, just trying to do something completely 1179 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,920 different was was literally the biggest goal and hurdle and 1180 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,480 everything about it has just been trying to trying to just do 1181 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:45,840 something new. Yeah. 1182 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,880 All right. I did want to share this for 1183 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:51,440 Tony. We do, finally. 1184 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:52,960 Yeah, it's right there.

There, appreciate it. 1187 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:56,960 I just said, you know you're having some trouble before. 1188 01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,240 We're already on it. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. 1189 01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:03,320 We got we got Bo Ram's official character art, so I wanted to 1190 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,440 show you what Bo Ram looks like.

This is Boram, very original 1195 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:26,760 character. He throws cards, you know the 1196 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,160 cuts, makes things go boom. Is this the eyes shining? 1197 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,040 Yeah, dog. Oh no. 1198 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:35,200 I. Thought you just get lost in 1199 01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,279 them, that's all. Yeah, definitely, definitely. 1200 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:39,000 Yeah. That's that's who I'll be 1201 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:43,680 playing, you know, truly original character like a rat. 1202 01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,600 The rat, the same thing. Look at the rat. 1203 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,399 I'll share. I'll share Bow Ram while we're 1204 01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:53,960 here. We don't have the other ones, 1205 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,120 but we do have bow ram. They are. 1206 01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,479 I can show that. Yeah, Dan was really. 1207 01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,920 He said he was going to be pissed if he didn't get to go 1208 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,760 first. So he's like, I'm fucking going 1209 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,520 first. Fuck you guys. 1210 01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:08,279 And we're like, all right, man, geez, it's not that big of a 1211 01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:10,520 deal. So you guys are finally seeing 1212 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,680 the true side of Dan when it comes to session? 1213 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,040 Yeah, dude, it is rough, man. Wasn't because nobody else had 1214 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:21,120 their sheets yet. This is Boram. 1215 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:26,560 Are his eyes purple? His eyes are a Violet color. 1216 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:34,160 Oh OK, yes, he's a smoker. Got this dirty blonde hair in a 1217 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:39,200 bun kind of mess trench coat, these gloves that are kind of 1218 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,000 special bunch of potions and stuff. 1219 01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,960 And he's, I think I mentioned it in our little Kickstarter video, 1220 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:47,960 but this will be for everyone now. 1221 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:53,520 So these, this is kind of just a reference to like white linenite 1222 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,480 or just white linens that you might see in New Orleans back in 1223 01:09:57,480 --> 01:10:01,040 the day. And I just wanted him to look, 1224 01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:04,920 you know, messy, but trying to look good. 1225 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,880 You know, even though he's constantly messy in some way, 1226 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,800 things are unbuttoned, things are wrinkled. 1227 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:15,800 He still likes to wear nice things and try and, and dress up 1228 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,360 because he never got to do that in the swamp. 1229 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,680 So that's, that's a bow ram right there. 1230 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:27,480 You're human, artificer. I really like the design, I love 1231 01:10:27,480 --> 01:10:29,160 the belt. I was worried he was going to 1232 01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:34,440 like be over encumbering and like too bulky but he nailed 1233 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,680 everything. Looking sleek and slim lined. 1234 01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,200 Looks really really cool. Yeah, we don't have art for 1235 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:41,880 everyone just yet. We're working on it. 1236 01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,200 We took our time to find a really good artist. 1237 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,400 I want to say yeah. Yes, looks great. 1238 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:52,560 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Kylie's is next and then 1239 01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,040 Alec has his, and then I think mine's going to be one of the 1240 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:59,800 last ones done and then Tony's maybe after if he gives me some 1241 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:03,000 kind of design that he wants. I'm totally cool with what I 1242 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,320 have man. I'm not a, I'm just a 1243 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:08,200 background. I'm just a background but the 1244 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:11,800 the reason why it's taking so long is that he is he 1245 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,840 self-taught He does this for just started doing this for a 1246 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:22,360 living. He lives in Brazil currently, 1247 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,960 and when I talked to him last, he said that they were like 1248 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:31,440 doing maintenance in his little area and they shut off his power 1249 01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:32,800 for like a day or something like that. 1250 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,520 I couldn't believe that. I was like, Oh my God, that's 1251 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:41,440 crazy. So he's definitely worth every 1252 01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:43,520 penny so far. His talents are he's very 1253 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:48,880 talented, so very excited. Do we know what his name is to 1254 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,800 shout him out? I just know him as Jay. 1255 01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:57,280 Yes, we have his What's the artist station link we can put 1256 01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,200 in the description.

And just to recap, so we have a 1259 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:09,880 human artificer, we have a red panda scion, we have a Eladrin 1260 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:11,720 Paladin, and we have a tiefling Rouge. 1261 01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,280 We have a pretty diverse party. I like it. 1262 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,080 We're kind of all over the place and I like it. 1263 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:17,880 I love it. I think it's going to be great. 1264 01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:22,360 I will not be launching ADMNPC from the start. 1265 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,560 If the guys recruit somebody along the way, I'd be happy to 1266 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,360 join the adventure in that way, but we're not going to start off 1267 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,440 off the bat with like a Reginald or anybody. 1268 01:12:30,440 --> 01:12:32,720 I don't want to fall to the just like, dude, we don't want to 1269 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,880 drill 2 point O Like Alex said, he doesn't want to do that. 1270 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,360 I don't want to fall to a Reginald 2 point O as well. 1271 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,920 I feel like it would just be another one of those. 1272 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,160 So I want, you know, but when they mean a new character, if 1273 01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:48,320 they want to, you know, bring somebody along, I'll ball before 1274 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:49,160 it. Yeah. 1275 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,920 And I believe that's everything as we come through a close out 1276 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:57,040 right radar. Yeah, I. 1277 01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,560 Got so happy, by the way, that Kylie's playing a rogue. 1278 01:13:00,440 --> 01:13:02,320 Yeah, that's going to be. Great, that's going to play a 1279 01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:07,440 rogue. And they went inside and it was 1280 01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:09,240 like Kendall would. Be crazy, right? 1281 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:11,040 And then Kylie joined, she said. Rogue. 1282 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,040 I was like, yes, we got one. Nice. 1283 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,320 I also would like to say that if you are just starting off on 1284 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,880 campaign two, you have not listened to campaign one. 1285 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,960 Don't worry, fret not, this is a standalone story from the first 1286 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,960 one. There will be some minor 1287 01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,680 callbacks, but this is its own story from the first game. 1288 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:34,000 It is not a direct continuation. There will be some Easter eggs 1289 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,320 for those who have listened to the first campaign. 1290 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:41,240 There will be some perhaps returning favored favorite NPCS 1291 01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:45,320 returning in here and there as Easter eggs as a part of the 1292 01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,840 city, but they are you do not need to know. 1293 01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,720 You do not need to have listened to the first campaign and know. 1294 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,240 And I'll give Jared a little bit of reprisal, a little a little 1295 01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,400 respite here. There would be no key returning 1296 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,000 character Ross the. Jazz Rat is back, baby. 1297 01:14:05,480 --> 01:14:09,600 Let's go. He lived 404 years just to show 1298 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:14,160 back up. Yes, the Jazz Bandits will 1299 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:19,600 always live on, but yes, so it is its own story. 1300 01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:21,320 Fret not. You do not need to listen to the 1301 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,480 whole first campaign, but I encourage you to do so. 1302 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,440 And the last thing I'll say is, Kylie, welcome aboard. 1303 01:14:27,440 --> 01:14:28,440 We, I Oh, yeah.

So I'm really looking forward to 1306 01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:35,680 it. Very excited. 1307 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:41,320 Yeah, it should be good.

It's been too long. 1312 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,600 Oh I can't wait to annoy the hell out of Alex's character. 1313 01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,800 Probably, yeah. That's exactly how I see all. 1314 01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,920 Those health potions, cuz you're gonna fucking need them. 1315 01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:05,640 Don't smite me please. My poor teacher can't take it. 1316 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,320 Yeah, what's your HHR Wizard Level 1? 1317 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:15,520 Not a lot. I'm sweating about the first 1318 01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,280 session is going to be good. The first session is going to be 1319 01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:17,920 good. I can't wait. 1320 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,640 And with that said, let's give our most. 1321 01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:23,880 Let's give our most. Kylie, goodbye. 1322 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:25,200 How's that sound? Oh. 1323 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:33,400 That's offensive.
