Man are D&D comments always this weird?

Perry Gray

This is how you know its old, no 6-7 joke

Riley

Ts so devastating I got a fucking Patreon subscription

Hannah

Well the character is based on him so Rone is also a misogynist!

Bake Mo

Historians are still trying to figure it out 😭

Stokes Henry

What did you mean by “EPISODE 13 OUT EARLY ON PATREON!”

Bake Mo

Can’t wait for the next episode of saves lool this was crazy!

Gabriel G

From when he met with the crossroads chick he’s just attracted more to dead chicks

Justankitty

Hey Coots play Nutshell by Alice In Chains

Tyler Kirby

What does zipper 3 think of Selenia?

Bake Mo

Leonis turning into stone beard from war

Melissa Smits

If Aiden cries I cry, I've been pavloved

Melissa Smits

We need a full animated series I can picture everything so well

Melissa Smits

I had to pause at 33:00 because I WASN'T EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS

Ben Zed

Question for anybody who is more experienced with DND: What sort of dice throw makes the most sense at 44:10? Like, clearly Dave threw it before that bit 😂 but I'm curious because there didn't seem to be any interaction beforehand (or, if there was, it was cut, lol)

Ben Zed

28:03 I feel like this must be referencing the Always Sunny bit: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1eSvpKYVDoI&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD

Jacob Jaeger

GEORG NAT 20 TO TAKE THE CRAB

C0sm1cH4z3

Hehe funny snek language :]

surma

I love you b dave my shayla

Pob

Leonas and Roan only have days to live so I would assume no

Sean Privett

The pirate accents were the best part about this arc! So so funny

Porridge

Knowing BDW has access to the Yard account and is invested in giving more insight to the episode is such a good sign that we'll get more of this. Truly, I've enjoyed these episodes as much as I've enjoyed D20 and CR. They're not comparable because they're all so different from eachother, but I feel as excited to watch a new episode of this as any of the others I mentioned. Also, masterful play to make Aimen roll that 3rd death save. If he makes it then it's like he clutched up, and if he fails then it's a statistical anomaly which is just straight up funny asf. 10/10 roleplaying, I simply can't glaze y'all enough.

Sean Privett

Constantly and consistently, Stonebeard is the dumbest motherfucker to ever play d&d

ALEX BREEDON

Dave just the fuckin goat idk what else to say

Hoodie

I was expecting the assassin/shapeshifter/motherfucker to impersonate the princess

Ryan

Have they mentioned whether or not there’ll be a gap between this episode and the next? (IIRC episode 12 is basically the end of S1)

Nick Pettit

RIP

Hark

6 7 con saves

Logan

12 Episodes in and it's still getting better. Huge props to DBW, the boys, and whoever else is behind helping with production

Jordan Mark

What a great DM for this series. BDW suits the boys so well.

justin martinez

Y does Nick want the princess to die again?

Echo

i’d have to assume it’s all in post

Anthony Lacerba

Dude them all doing it together had me dying

Matthew Cramer

Actual goated campaign.

Tim Egbert

6 7

Jbuck

47:23 67

Chewaii

Also not the neverafter(d20) music playing at moments. Is BDW playing music live or is it all post?

StarlitMia

I hope more animations come out. The end of the fight would be so cool animated.

Liam Flynn

L Stonebeard as usual

rem

I'm so invested in this i just want selenia and leonas to be happy

rachel

SPOILER// sorry but selinias final death save rolling perfectly into the center of the table is crazy

zobug

and to all of the people who liked my comment last episode... My bad

BlopsGaming

yalls pirate voices are so funny

zobug

so when i said selenia please dont kill yourself you're so sexy i did mean it

Lance Smith

PURE CINEMA!! Hats off to everyone man!!

Skeemsty

"I guess crabs got you" was right there

Ryan

I should not have opened comments before finishing this episode 🫩

Andy Hegewald

We NEED more Yard DnD. This is peak. Posts twice a week would be so cool

Peytwenty

I'll never forgive Aiden for letting Selinia Die.

Aiden Taggart

Yard boys this is the most amazing series I ever did damn see I tell you what

mirshazam

luds dream sequence becoming part of his lore was absolutely incredible

Emily

b dave walters is insaneeeeee i need to watch every single d&d campaign he’s ever dmed he’s awesome

Emily

Love this series so much, I’m starting my first ever campaign this weekend!!!! I’ve never been interested in d&d before and since episode 1 I’ve just been hooked :)

Nicholas Yoder

Aiden is so goated at this shit man

wendal

holy fucking cinema yall r goated

wendal

dude god bless B Dave Walters holy fucking fawk

wendal

yerp i wonder why its happening it looks like its only slime and nick shots

Luis Diaz

yall see them lil white speckles or thats just me?

FlamingOranges

Sankofa is gonna have them crucified by their assholes for letting selenia die

june

and i need everyone to imagine aiden cradling his lover, dave b walters.

Joe

Yes they went on record saying they did theirs first! but it happens haha

Dylan Franke

They should have given those death rolls to slime he was the only lucky one this ep. Either way made an amazing episode, everyone did a great job.

Bailey

bald lud lol

Dakota Hornberger

Losing my shit at the fact that they all have the fucking plague and their first idea after the fight is to go back to the nexus and spread it across the whole planet

Nicole

I don't think this is Lud's intention with the reckless choices but I really think that Stonebeard saw so much death and destruction in the war that it's numbed him to life as a whole and made him make riskier and riskier choices just to feel anything at all, because who cares life is meaningless

dawnek

I wanna give a standing ovation for Dave, not just as a dm but for his voice acting. That latrine line sent shivers, a+. Loved this series so much and can’t wait for season 2 in 16 years

Manoo

the pirates are an all time goat bit

John John

Do they know that critical role also has a tiny pixie named Thimble in their new campaign? 🫨

Dylan Boerboom

Slime not saying anything and just putting his head in his hands was the correct reaction

Gabe

Stonebeard blowing his shit off smooth was amazing haha. All that build-up haha. Immediately with that dramatic follow up too :( Aiden's acting is so fucking good ㅠㅠ and the crab assist was awesome.

Ray Fay

Comin home with acid burns and their son's dead girlfriend

Pearce Bland

I’m running my friends first campaign for them and learning so much from how Dave manages this campaign. The guys are the most chaotic group that could possibly do this 😂😂

Shaun V

That art of Leonas and Selenia actually hits

Danimal

Poor coldcock just got the shit kicked outta him and brought home a dead body wtf does Mrs. Coldcock think

Iver Willems

Insane episode

Ray Fay

Last episode, towards the end, it was mentioned that Crossroads members were helping fight back against the cultists attacking the city, presumably because the cultists were killing indiscriminately and those Crossroads members, like, live there.

bub

why is the set radioactive on only one camera. also the show just keeps getting better

Francisco Diaz

Am I crazy or were the crossroads mentioned out of nowhere? I don’t remember them from last episode at all

OrphanCrippler

Actually incredible storytelling by Lud and BDW for Stonebeard's nightmare. It just keeps getting better as they get more and more into it. Special shoutout to BDW for having to somehow reign the guys in and being able to DM with the insane situations they put themselves in.

Angel Bunb

Aiden’s sad acting is so good it made me forget how much he hates dogs

Ussom

I'm starting to think Stonebread is suicidal

C0sm1cH4z3

I want Leonis to roll to give the apothecary a magical brain aneurysm and they die instantly and I hope he gets a nat 20

Johnny

this was the best episode yet I cant wait for more, also stone beard what the fuck was that

Julia Boyce

I cant wait for animations of this series the bits are so funny!

RaitonBril

i believe the plan was to learn more about what really happened with project hammer & anvil before contacting coquette to "turn herself in." could just be a bad timing thing cuz there's a lot going on and they haven't learned too much more about it other than possibly the exact location

Kae Makia

turtle time!

Chance McCall

BDW is truly a dungeon MASTER it is a gift watching him navigate these fellas

Marci Vox

we know this was filmed awhile ago cause nobody made a 6-7 joke at 47:28

Andrew Greathouse

Holy shit absolute cinema

Blake Hill

holy shit they really hit their stride. the last three episodes have been phenomenal

Daniel Lopez

I loved the pirates at the end being shockingly politically intellectual. they really CHOSE the pirate life

Grant Caddell

This series is truly better than any movie. BDW is the freaking man and the boys are doing a fantastic job. This episode was such a banger too. Love the after show so much too, please give us more. it’s so cool to hear the bts how Dave makes the sausage. I love how ludwig plays d&d, he just gets it.

Ashley Marie

Cried this time, good episode

FlamingOranges

selenia's saves, stonebeard's dream, georg's animal handling, i have never seen so many perfect rolls in one sitting before. this one is for the fucking history books. also why do they seem to have forgotten they have another sending stone for coquette or however you spell that woman's name, that's another crossroads member they can speak to besides the one rone knows about. am i forgetting something? although if dave didn't bring it up its probably for a reason

DM B. Dave Walters

Honestly, because I didn't expect him to fail twice and it was far more dramatic to see what happened - BDW

Goblin Witch

Imma throw up if Celina dies

Katelyn

why am i genuinely so sad right now WOW

FlamingOranges

I nearly threw up laughing at Georg's dream

Goblin Witch

20 minutes in and Stonebeard shooting himself is absolutely crazy, like bro get a therapist or start drinking again cause the withdrawal is making you jump into cannons and shit

DM B. Dave Walters

Thank you! -BDW

Evan Hattenburg

20:49 omg dave is the goat

octjankus2

unintentional 67

Bbaaii

peak

Fang Undead

I'm really confused. This was a fantastic episode and I'm stoked for the next one but, I thought Selenia had 2 rounds? Why did she get three death saves then? Regardless, had me in tears

Sunny D

The way they straddle the seriousness with their humor is perfect

C0sm1cH4z3

Yoo we got a content warning where they dont immediately joke about the thing theyre warning about lmao let's go boys!

Sakina Ali

Give aidan an oscar goddamn that voice crack was insane

Spooder

He made them roll 3 times because he said people would arrive to help after that. So they more than likely arrived right after that 3rd death save. If he used the words 2 rounds, more than likely their place in the turn order is lower than the person who was rolling the death saves in the turn order, hence why even if they arrived on 2 rounds, they woild only be able to go when it is their turn, which was sadly after the person who was rolling the death saves

Sakina Ali

Roulette made me piss myself - stonebred has the worst fucking luck

salutatien

stonebeard’s nightmare recontextualising “i never lose mori roulette” is perfect, that roll was insane. it’s compelling how ridiculous and deeply troubled he is

ショートケーキ

How did that failed death save happen? I thought people were supposed to arrive within 2 rounds, but they had to roll 3 times…

Mikel

thay should have tried it!

Mikel

radioactive ipad from roan lmao. my fav ep yet

ThePhantomKeith

Someday when The Yard is very old and no one remembers it, they will still remember Episode 12 of the D&D series.

Noah Stapp

Can we please get an animated version of the yard dnd!!!!!!! Maybe a new Patreon for it??????

Malakai DeMoines

this one hits different when you watch while your girlfriend is working a double

Sara

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

rhinoquakes

"The Walt Disney Treatment" "But a lot less racist" B. Dave Walters is a beautiful genius

Trevin

Such a good ep!

Manmet Bajwa

That shit had me nearly in tears man wtf … 😢😢😢😢

Jelle Schraven

Dave losing his fkn mind laughing is gold

C

What a generational episode

Hannah

That Roulette could have gone on so long but instead Ludwig rolls a 1 IMMEDIATELY peak comedy

Hannah

That was brutal wtf I cried so much

DBRussell37

Also he talks about having lost people in the war... Yeah, probably people who died saving him after lit himself on fire and fired himself out of a catapult.

DBRussell37

At this point I REFUSE to believe that Stonebeard even fought in the war because there is NO SHOT he would have survived it.

MatchaMochi

Best episode yet

Patrick Miess

Looks like you, *puts on sunglasses*, Crabbed yourself. Yeaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Apollo the Human

Rip Selenia fr Real one

Kyle Grillo

Thee_N

I love all of these D&D episodes! All your characters are great and the story is so good! Love the DM too he paints such a good picture with words! Keep killing it boys!

Matthew Griffith

Time for the Leonas Radiohead arc

William SHG

Ludwig’s Mori Roulette, Aiden’s dramatic acting, the dreams, more Tahm Kench lore, what a banger episode!

Jesse

47:23 67 67 67🫴🫴

Bludgeon

Was ordering tacobell on the app and the the ding played after Stonebread blew his shi smoove off

DM B. Dave Walters

Nick's original conceit for the show was they try their hardest to derail me, and I just keep moving forward. I was just like...come at me; hahaha. - BDW

DM B. Dave Walters

We shot this WAY before that was a thing, which is hilarious. - BDW

DM B. Dave Walters

Y'all, I told you from the beginning episode 12 was something. Not going to spoil it just in case, but I have never seen the dice fall like that. You could hear a pin drop in the room. - BDW

Matias

Same 😔

Carbuncle

i literally did the hand movement and everything to myself alone in my room im so fucking far gone

Matias

47:20 🙏🙏🙏

emmagaming

TK??

jonny2shirts

banger after banger. Aiden crushed a serious scene that was bookended, and lets be honest mixed in with with comedy. Thats not an easy thing to pull off, but they all kept it interesting and engaging!

Adil Ahmed

Eat_Childhood

Get Aiden on broadway

steezfm

ludwig blowing his brains out the instant hes alone with slime is awesome

BradDeA

The boys keep trying to derail B Dave but he’s tanking it everytime

Tyler Yatos

James Hannon

I joined the patreon to see the after show and they don't disappoint. Love the debriefs.

Huey Wyatt

Virginia Engroff

WHY AM I CRYING HOLY SHIT

Ryden Kaye

my fav moment is lud trying not to crack as leonas talks to a dead selenia and says I L..L...liked her a lot (40:15)

Virginia Engroff

My jaw was on the floor in the first five minutes. And seeing Slime's face while the Apothecary is taunting him felt so real. I'm barely into the episode and I'm RIVETED.

Cyno73

If Stonebeard had pulled that off it would’ve been the biggest 720 in character development I’ve ever seen
