Hey could you not casually drop spoilers for adventure modules in your videos. It keeps happening and one of the people who have signed up for my game which hasn’t had it’s session zero has mentioned he saw this. Hell I’ve picked up adventure path spoilers from you and I am very suspicious of another player in a game, When it comes to his unexplained hostility towards certain people in dragon heist.
I have it where if you actually sing at the table, whether it’s good or bad, it’s a Nat 20 automatically. It’s scary putting yourself out there to sing like that so I reward people for being brave enough to do it.
The drama is infectious. All of the players turned into shakesperean actors at the end. Also, i'm happy that the *gulp* guy from the media skit came back.
@@slamkam07 You clearly never played with people who can actually be the characters they portray. Jacob is exaggerating in this video, but damn I love when Pathfinder stops being a game and starts being a drama.
I was able to avoid thinking it was talking about me, but then he pulled out a guitar, and I got flashbacks to the time I composed violin music on my computer for my D&D character to play (they weren’t even a bard, just a sorcerer with a fiddle)
@@slamkam07 I play in a table full of over dramatics (me included) and thats like 80% of the fun for all of us. No one needs "skill" to roleplay a character. It's a game, not a job. Let people have fun 🤣
If the guy playing the bard just straight-up improvised a song instrumentals and all right in front of my eyes, I would not be mad at him. Stripe shirt Jacob has no soul.
Honestly, I love players that do this. Not only does it let me know they're invested in the game, but that energy is contagious and a it gets the rest of the table excited, and leads to some great roleplay moments. I usually award bonuses for this.
idk, I've played with a couple people like this and they end up taking up 30 minutes to an hour of the session just doing their stuff. It should've only taken like 5-10 minutes. As a result 1/3 of the entire session was dedicated to them just in those moments, and it's only like 2-3 moments.
@@unknown_10453Sure it can slow down the session, but honestly the important thing is that they're having fun. When players go all in on the passionate roleplaying it makes me happy because a lot of the time from what I've seen in, non professional DnD groups, is just kinda static straight facing all the time time, and it tends to make the session a bit cut and dry. I do try to encourage my friend group to go ahead and do it because watching people be passionate about roleplay, something a lot of people who don't play tabletop believe to be very childish, gives me a large amount of joy.I know not everyone thinks like this, but that's just my take on the whole thing.
I mean... we're all just playing adult make believe with dragons for a few hours each week, right? Might as well let the situational emotions fly if you've still got them to feel.
Honestly, I'd love for a person at my table to have the confidence to be overly dramatic. Just as in the video, it's contagious. Just need that one that dives head first into character and we'd be doing the same thing in no time.
I think this was legitimately your best Production skit yet. No fourth wall breaking for the most part, Not that that's a problem, Add extremely gripping. Dude this was a masterpiece
jacob: my players often compare me to you (we look sort of similar and act sort of similar as well), and have been feeding me your content for the past few years. we've been running rime of the frostmaiden for just shy of two years at this point, and this video absolutely sent me into the stratosphere. its a wonderful crossover between your world and mine, and i genuinely enjoyed this. keep being awesome
I just appreciate how Jacob has almost 3 quarters of a million followers and he did a skit with some shots out of focus and still uploaded it because he understands his audience couldn’t have cared less lol
@3:35 I love how you had a reaction shot of just the dude's hair getting blown. Like there's a fan in the room that I can't hear because of good editing!
Maybe it's just because this feels familiar to my dumb/delightful players but this might be my favorite video you've ever done. I'm pretty sure it's the hardest I've laughed all year. I think the hair blowing slightly in the wind while you shouted "they found us!" was probably my favorite part though the weird bellow into initiative roll had me rolling too.
Another beautiful sketch, Jacob. I never thought one man band style DnD sketch comedy would be one of my favorite kinds of videos on RU-vid but you consistently hit such a high bar of quality and I enjoy every video that comes out of your channel. Keep up the great work Mr XP
Hahaha this I think is my favorite thing you've made, Jacob. It really connected with me and showed what I MOST love about playing rpg's with the homies. Also the end legitimately had me screaming with the characters
[4:57 - 5:39] DM: "That was really nice. Also, your song lasted 42 seconds, so divided by six seconds per round, that'll be seven rounds spent performing and taking no actions."
During a tense moment in one of my campaigns, it was revealed that my character and the character of a shy player were half-siblings. Without looking, I reached out my hand for them, and they grabbed it and squeezed it. It was one of my favorite moments in the whole campaign.
How to make a video that explains the epic feeling of taking the role seriously without having to say how it feels... better to feel it as if you were part of the story, incredible video, it made my hair stand on end remembering all those moments like that. I loved
The pacing of this video emulated exactly what happens in real life...the beginning was really annoying and I thought "oh no, is this Jacob's first lame video?" but then I started to crack a few smiles as the overdramatic characters were being cute...then by the end, I have goosebumps and am choked up and screaming right along with the characters. SO GOOD.
Man, been watching you for a long time and love all the videos you put out. But seriously your creativity and execution in your videos lately have been some of my favorites. Well done!
Dude you are so good at these. I forget it's just you halfway through every time. Please keep doing them. Drama is great. Gigachad is great. Keep it up!!!!
