High Rollers: Aerois  

"After all, what is a wayfinder if not somebody who returns lost things" Beautiful

Did Mark just invent the World Wide Web in Aerois?

1:44:14 I LOVE LOVE how DMs can use Truesight to see so much into other characters and the world itself. Really makes you realize how creatures who have it innately must see the world in such facinating ways. Also the entire sequence of what he sees in the forest and what is woven? Amazing.

Man, that multiverse explanation gave me goosebumps and teary eyes. Im just thinking about them seeing my players standing on their pirate ship, facing a terrible mindflayer admiral

The scene with Dawnweaver was so incredibly cool!! Absolutely love the Web of Eternity, what a concept. Chills!!!!

I... LOVE. Episodes like this. Episodes that delve DEEP into lore. That give the world--and the stakes--proper scope. That make shout-outs to Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein, and many, many other worlds. And Mark pulls it off so well! Props to Critical Role, but my DnD home will always be with High Rollers. SO excited for next episode.

"I think I can make animals really smart" My mind just thought a chonky talking big cat

Your explanation of the multiverse is very similar to how it is in my campaign when I had one of the gods explain it to the party (how fitting). But because this was a deity of the hearth and home, I used the metaphor of a house. The entire universe my players had seen, every world they have been to, every experience, etc... imagine it all being inside a single house. Nearly every house has similar interior spaces. Nearly each one has a bedroom, a living room, a toilet, etc. What differentiates the houses is how each of these rooms in designed, its size, what furniture is inside, etc. The same is true for the house that is our universe, standing in a neighborhood of other houses. Each with a differently furnished living room, each with a different look to their material world. Each house has their rooms placed differently, just as each universe has their cosmology differ. Each house has their own inhabitants in their own social structures, just like how each universe has different gods in different pantheons or systems, but these systems can still feel similar, like 2 families that both have 2 children and 2 parents. Same family structure, completely different people. And if 1 universe died, the house would burn down. If the ties to the rest of the worlds was not severed, the other worlds would burn too, just as a fire can spread to different homes.

Finally caught up to you guys! Took the dash action on all of my 131 turns to get here! I probably died from levels of exhaustion 70 episodes ago...still here in spirit...

1:31:28 love how Tom just disappears into the void here

2:39:45 "I am my scars!!" Jokes aside really one of Marks great moments of storytelling. And with great players as always and Trotts Music on point big time.

And this is Aerois, it has only one connection because it's just our game. And this the Forgotten Realms, it has many connection points because it is an official setting that everyone plays in.

The true sight scene was absolutely amazing!

I like big bulbous back bits and I cannot lie

“This giant spider appears and say ‘BE NOT AFRAID” that is literally some biblical angel shit,

I love when mark dumps a bucket of lore on us

"We need a spaceship that can break through time and space and the fabric of reality" Just strap the Starbreaker to the front of the twin star longbow and go really fast and believe in it really hard

this is possibly the best episode of HR i've ever seen! Absolutely loved it!!

Mark has this beautiful ability and intelligence to create amazing moments and worlds like this

Dude Mark using the truesight to describe everyone was sick as hell Starting at 1:43:47 Ok I’m gonna add another piece to this comment, this reminded me so much of the episode with Root, when they reveled everything about how Aerois has the world engine, MARK MAKES THE LORE FEEL SO BIG. And of course I love all the PCs, you guys play them so brilliantly, this is absolutely my personal favorite dnd show I’ve watched.

Finally I caught up! Can't wait to see what happens next

Foaming at the mouth and crying ‘cause Kim said it best. The Greek Mythology vibes are killing me, please feed me more

High Rollers: Into the Aerois-verse

Three months of binging the chapters and I'M FINALLY HERE.

There were so many chills this episode I feel so giddy

The Lore, the emotions. Was crying at work over Rosemeadow.

So it just occurred to me: how does quill fly and use objects if his wings are attached to his hands?

For the unfimilar. If you right click the bonus in DND beyond you can choose who sees the roll and switch between adv, disadvantage and regular roll. The same method can be used to access crit DMG on damage rolls

This episode was so good! The cool combat, the deep lore 👌🏻

It's just like in dragonlance! The woods surrounding the tower of high sorcery. The one by the inn.

So this is what sentry can do when she’s actually able to hit more than once a fight

Mark! You missed your chance to put a nights of evening star teaser in!

Spoilers HOLY HELL AMAZING LORE MARK. Since the end of CoS I've been wondering how Aerois would(n't) fit into things. And that truesight scene was amazing. I was just waiting for someone to say 'follow the spiders'!

Classic high rollers, there I am marvelling at the amazing lore in this episode and then BAM. Mr Pu. I peed a little bit 😂

I honestly was hoping we would get a light fall cameo

I'm in love with this episode. I love Aerois, but the little easter eggs that Mark dropped were so awesome. I love you guys!

Me: Working Mark: "You are so much like him..." Tom: "...Dont say that..." MY LITTLE WEAK HEART 😭 I'm crying at work. Thanks high rollers 💙💙💙

I mean this with all possible respect: Mark F*cking Sherlock Humes!! Best world builder and writer of any online 5e stream I have ever seen.

Trott's musical que's in this episode are so good especially for Rosemeadows transformation

I love the true sight description. I got so excited... And then scared 😳

Does anyone else think that Grazz't the Demon Prince is the one who is working with/ influencing Mesmera or is behind the curse. Quil saw a 6 fingered black hand grasping Thalia's neck..... Grazz't also has 6 fingers.....

Great ep! Vorpal no Also Adventures and Academia looks amazing!

Excellent as always. I wonder if Mark used the Domains of Delight supplement to help with the Feywild? Thinking of getting it myself.

Whatever Rosemeadow chooses as her name, I would always call her friend ❤

Man, I love the spiderverse.

The images of the places and other heroes, such as the fight on the train and the scene before that, what was that a reference to? I haven't seen other HR campaigns, Im actually just finished catching up now, and they seemed to really enjoy it.

OMG Rosemeadow is the next AVATAR!!!!!!!! XD

i wonder if here Mark spoiled a little bit of the next campaign 02:17:07 exciting!

If you have seen previous comments you may have guessed it, and here it is….. 12th post hoping Vessicks the Kobold shows up

THE FINGERS

Not me going back to the intro to see Aerois misspelt as Aeoris hehehe

MrPU's corner of the multiverse

Most meta episode

I really enjoyed the Critical Role reference in the episode. Does anyone recognize the other Easter eggs?

Glorious

SPOILERS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I feel like the best name for Rosemeadow is something connected to Aerois, like Siaska, or her favourite Aeorisian flower. She might have the memories of her family but she'll think of Aeoris as her true home.

Can someone explain what the broken mast on the freshmerch store was? I couldn't watch live and I missed it!

What microphones are you using? Such great quality sound :D

Rosemedow Prime!

2:57:50 quick everyone get youtube converter ready and download all the episodes before they are gone

Someone has been watchin final space :D

I can't wait untill that coin saves the day when they meet HADAR!!!

What are the riders called do they have a statblock somewhere?

So I've taken a break from this due to mental health and have fallen behind, but now I've got to run an Aerois campaign just in case things go sideways

What an epic story! You're the best DnD Channel!

Daaaaayyyyyuuuuum, dis shit is so good

High Rollers are the best ever. So pumped for their studio.

The music in this episode is top tier. Between the true sight moment and meeting Lady Dawnweaver, I'm mesmerized. Mark really painted a descriptive picture this whole episode. Loved it more than when Sentry and Lucious saw Hadar for the first time. AND Mark got choked up, he couldn't even say Rose Meadow's name!! I'm in tears.... Amazing job.

This was an interesting episode. While I think Mark attempted to raise the stakes by implying that the Aerois universe is just one of many, but the party's failure could lead to the destruction of other nearby universes, it really felt to me like it did the opposite. The picture that Mark painted of Kalas throwing the world engine into the Far Realm with Hadar was an incredibly bleak one, and it painted a stark and depressing picture for the future where everything that exists would be consumed. He hinted at the possibility that Hadar may be strong enough to move to other universes, but it still makes the heroes' plight seem less... crucial than it did before.

Would you mind if I used the Nexus web in my campaign

That was a fun episode. But since you connected Feyrune and Ebberon... there is only one answer for Rosemeadow's name: Larue. For those that don't know Larue is the Unicorn mother of all Unicorns in the Feyrune lore. She is the daughter of Selune the goddess of all nature and intelligent animals/creatures.

Big fight next episode. Scared to find out how Mark will truly play the undead duo if he claims he wasn’t playing them smart. Although it makes sense RP wise, maybe the undead duo underestimated these foes but now they know their abilities they won’t make the same mistake. I believe out of everyone Sentry can survive without a head since her life comes from her matrix in her chest and the only downside is she’ll be under the blind condition

Nice

Heroes on top of a train with a wizard duel wielding wands, does anyone know who Mark is making reference to?

Bawling again!!

I missed something! What's Bismuth doing here?

Sentry is so fucking cool

..... is she just Madame Web.....

Mark really said "if I can't cut your heads off Ill explode them and if I can't pierce your hearts I'll make em melt"

I've just caught up, looking forward to finally being able to watch the stream without spoilers xD

divine being? becoming gods? interesting 🤔

Mark you are truly a master story teller and I'm so appreciative for this series!

_Why does it _*_always_*_ have to be Spiders?!_

Where is the episode they are talking about

I love how much fun y'all have with the ads!!!

I love you guys, followed for years. Keep up the good work

And we never found out about George Jetsons parents.

Have binged to being as close to live as I can aka unable to catch the live ones so vod squad for me until school holidays

I loved this episode

2:21:51 I was really hoping for a Campaign 3 teaser or a Campaign 1 Reference but was not disappointed.

Bravo, Mark. This is why you're one of my favorite DM's.

Loved the callout to a certain group of Mighty Heroez

Oh boy, the Multiverse...

Matt Mercer, eat your heart out! Jesus christ Mark!

Can anyone tell me what dnd universes mark referenced?? I’ve only ever watched high rollers and would love to know

just finished this episode, Seraphy Rosemeadow
