Brilliant. The combat had great flow & you gave real personality to even the lesser characters. Loved it. Hope you can be part of other campaigns too, definitely as a dm but also as a player.

Very happy to see you DM-ing. That was a wonderfull first introduction to your DM-ing style and skills. Very much like how you use your voice. To quote a certain half-ogre "That was really good. That was fun. I like that. Merchant, you should hire him, for shows"

I've never played DnD before, and had only heard about it. Since the start of the Icewind Dale campaign I've been getting into it, reading the lore and designing characters, and I've convinced my friends to start a campaign which has been so much fun. Thanks Merchant for properly introducing me to DnD :)

As much as I love Merchant's DMing style, this is a really refreshing campaign and I think I will absolutely love to have them alternate. RunawayRobot's dming is super on point and I can't wait to see how the campaign turns out! Super good call on all the cast as usual!

Hey! I’ve never played dnd before. I’m really into baldurs gate 3 and I’m invested in the lore and they keep referencing events from Avernus so I knew I had to check out what actually happened. This is the first ever dnd game I’m watching and I’m excited! 🎉

You all have some good chemistry, but man your campaign really needs a "kick the door down" character to balance the passive ones. All the characters feel like they want they want to curl up in a ball and hide.
