1 more thing I could thing of in the next adventure- THE RETURN OF SPLUG!, I know you said they found him dead, but I think that he should return fully decked out in armour and attack the drogans (coltaine mostly) for leaving him behind. possibly ressurected by a young wizard/cleric hoping to find out what happened in the keep?
With the battle difficulty I feel that I should point out that without a controller doing his/her job they were REALLY hard, In no way am I saying they needed a better party but the moment sorrow let loose the fire burst on the zombies, the entire battle just went uphill and only lost ground in small easily re-established amounts if the game was played right. the battles were hard and would be daunting to new players. I agree completely.
@DenzaMan That's a good point. Jacques was a good controller, but he wasn't with the party long. The next controller they had was Zook, and druids are terrible controllers.
Perhaps at each area you could put up an image of the map. I know when I listened to this I had my copy of the module out to better visualize the battle.
I think keeping the videos to 10-15 minute lengths would be best. As you said, it's less intimidating than an hour-long video and it's easier to find your place if you have to leave and come back.
You guys really made an awesome thing here. I look forward to watching your future adventures.
@Sport351 I think putting up an image of the map may be the way to go -- I'll comment more on this in an upcoming update video. Thanks for the feedback!
I don't really have anything really constructive to say. I like the format as it is now, and I can't wait for the new season. I trust in you to make all the right choices :)
As for favorites:
NPC - Dwarven Blacksmith (by far)
PC - I liked Zook (was it Zook?) The lynx druid 9again, he was a druid right?). I aways imagined him transforming into a kitty rather than a proper battle shapeshift.
Favorit battle - the graveyard one, and I'm still hoping on a death knight from it.
I like the longer videos personaly. But better for YT I would say 10 to 15 minute vids might be better.
I recomend putting a collage type video to watch. Just D&D type picks. Not everyone just listens to the videos. I think people trolling on YT might need a visual since they can't continue to troll while listening. Even screen captures of what the player sare doing, if your using the online tool.
I might do up the characters as well with a pic, so people can see there stats and stuff.
Yeah there should be a basic outline for the npcs the players meet. In a module anyways. If the module is not complete then why buy it instead of creating your own. "Oh heres an outline, fill in what you need." I would rather get the report.
You were forced to do full rests after each battle. that can't be right.
You guys made it fun. Which is what RPGing is all about.
I think that even Chris Perkins when he ran it had to change it because the players were knocked unconscious.
Awesome, I was wondering what happened to thomas i acutally didn't mind him talking.Also I remember the session where thomas's character tryed to jump over winterhaven.
By the way i much rather have the hour long parts because it simplely makes navigation much easier.
Well done, everyone. You guys made listening to the campaign very enjoyable. You should get some royalties from WotC for the great PR for D&D.
I got the impression that you were running the adventure with maptools or some other VT. If that is the case, one improvement to the videos would be capturing the VT. Combat would be much more interesting if we could see the PC's and enemy's postions.
yo i love watching your vids and your group is awesome but one thing i want to ask for you to do for your next campaign is put pics of not you but what you imagine your character's looking like weather its a drawing you all make or some random art you find.i am just curious as to how you all saw your toons in your heads
PS:COLTAINE IS A BOSS!!! HE'S SEEN ALL THIS SH*T! HE'S LIKE I WILL SURVIVE ALL!!
@zslayer24 Thanks! Coltaine is pretty badass. I'll look into getting some character art -- I don't want to infringe on copyright, so we may have to make our own.

@Rhykker Well I do find them rather enjoyable.
It will take time though, hope you'll be releasing the new season by the time I'm done. GL HF, fan greet to the drogans!

10 to 20 minute "video" are good. I know some people want real video, but I don't really like that idea. I maybe the only one that feels that way.
