Pluto Jackson this entire fight “That’s not fair Big Linda” “Cmon Big Linda” “Seriously Big Linda?” Like a combat of ole foes. I love this! After this excellent battle and commentary, imma need a Pluto Jackson’s Guide to Monster Hunting. Then the eventual Veo’s Guide to Drakkenheim Cuisine.

You should add a stat block for "Bigger Linda" in Pluto Jackson's Monster Journal......Hint Hint a good plan for the next kickstarter...

Never a good sign when you start piecing together what the monster can do, and the DM just cackles like a madman

My take on Big Linda based on the description: So she's the Tarrasque now, mixed with a black dragon and a zombie T-Rex

12:48 the magic moment when you realize Wilhelm wastes stuff with his crossbow, and Pluto has a Hackmaster +12

Dude, I love the rat prince plush. It sits on my end table next to my bed. I'm just worried he's gonna try to eat my manling flesh someday.

So happy! Just finished the episode before this and though "man, I really want to see them fight Big Linda!" I also backed the $500 tier on the new kickstarter! I couldn't pass it up with all the extra stuff you are adding. I am currently deployed and I missed by DoD rewards by one week. Luckily I should be home before this next one ships and the wife is keeping the DoD one safe and sound! Thank you all for your content and love having something to listen/watch while I am over here.

"Life finds a way" love it. Hahaha

What a battle! Loved how Monty can take a creature and give it a really scary spin. Early on, I was calling out, “Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!”

Spoiler What an epic Caspian duel!!! Elias popping out of the rope trick and reminding the group that they have responsibility for their judges. Classic!!!

Jill’s multifaceted expression while Monty is describing the severed limb being held in the grip of the other arm 41:20 gave me the gigglesnorts. The frown that extends with each sentence of Monty’s description, followed by the eye pop of surprise about the circumstances surrounding the limb reveal, and a little bit of side-eye wariness, mixed with a lip pinch. Sometimes that woman makes faces that are simultaneously perfectly contextually appropriate, adorable, and hilarious that I just can’t. Had to rewind a couple of minutes to catch up on the scene.

That was the BEST evil DMlaugh ever !😊

Jill making any character: I have family that I will fight for ferociously, I love food, and I'm somewhat beastial in appearance. Kelly making a character: I had a traumatic experience when I was younger that I must overcome. This experience left me with an enemy that I must face. Joe when making a character: hehe I'll be really weird, a little out of it, and have huge connections to powerful places!

This campaign is one of my favorite series to watch! I'm a huge fan of Jurassic Park, and all of the references and nods to the film made me smile so much lol.

With the spell Unbind Gravity, I would not be surprised if Monty build a Sans fight against the group

Big Linda doesn't even look like a T-Rex anymore. Looks rather like the New York Zilla monster that some people mistake for Godzilla

Jill is the most creative player. I’ve modeled a character after Veo for another campaign. I’m always impressed.

17:45 That was the evilest DM laugh I've heard in a while, and as a DM I laugh evilly often! That sent shivers down my spine and made me smile at the same time, love you guys!

That evil DM laugh. 😂 Oh this is going to be a fun episode

Truly beastly episode, Big Linda is now the standard by which all other Kaiju level monsters will be graded.

I can't stop imagining Big Linda kind of ungluing from the deep haze

I really love the approach of roleplay the Ranger class by Jill, and all in all, all of the players have a unique approach to roleplay the characters. I have prepared 3 characters for 3 different campaigns 1. A Ranger after Jill's approach. 2. A paladin after Kelly's approach as Wilhelm and 3 a wizard after Joe's approach as both Pluto and Wrath

Wish you all were playing in person at the table in Monty's basement. Love their terrain.

Monty: It looks like Big Linda has stepped on some ratlings. Players: Is this where my plushy came from?☹️

Monty made bigger Linda horrifying to fight jeez. Monty has to have a lot of trust in his players to not die to throw a ginormous teleporting and acid spewing dinosaur at them

Not Pluto just casually dishing out 90+ damage in a single turn with all the swag ever

I can't wait to get Sebastian's book to make an official Paladin of the Fallen Fire! :)

I noticed Your add in Critical role last night. It was fantastic 👏. Right as the break started. Should help the kick starter a lot! 24:30. I had stated this before about the Dragoon. They could lose a big Ally although if he could repair himself the question is how long would it take

Monty seriously needs to be cast as an evil villain in every upcoming movie and tv show. That sinister laugh was so genuinely devious and I love it

Monty’s evil DM laughter at the horror of joe was one of the best thing I’ve seen in a long while

1:19:00 in Wilhelm should have just used a bonus action to fall to his knees and cry lol

Isn't Jill just the best player? Have you ever seen another player so excited/jovial, while so close to their PC possibly dying? It's awesome and really speaks on the trust they have in Monty as their DM, 'cause cheese-n-crackers, dude! What the hell? "Big Linda"...? More like "Bologna" with these abilities!

YES! It has been a long journey but I have FINALLY caught up with Drakkenheim. And damn it has been a hell of a ride.

This is an evil laugh from the bottom the black heart. Love Monty.

I love my rat prince plushies so much!! I love that y'all grabbed yours to show off lol

Yay!!! So thankful for this new episode today.

They should have stipulated that the castle was off limits for this duel

Could the Paladin be hunting Veo's dad?

Really would love to see big Linda 2.0 on the mini table. Gg dudes another great episode as always

Everything about the Royal Rouge's hunting Biggrt Linda is what I'm here for. Well worth the wait!

Kelly your face at 1:23:39. Aw man I felt that 😂

Pretty excited you're playing with Dael Kingsmill next week! I'll try not to miss. Also, fun to see that you met Ginny Di. D&D content-creators...a small world!

Half way through and Monti's Maniacal Laughs are great. It's almost like he WANTS them dead.......

I'm something of a tracker myself. Well played Wilhelm

I love Dael! Her mythology videos are amazing, and I loved Wolfgang. Really excited for this.

Absolutely loved this episode. Nice change of pace from all the political discussions of the last few episodes. All of y’all with the Jurassic Park references, the tactics, the boss fight, it is 👌🏻 Brilliant on Monty to deliver such an incredible rematch against an iconic monster from the 1st season. It was worth the hype! Would love to see a Big Linda miniature some day.

I feel like this is the second time someone's tried to weaponize Aqua Expurgo. But I can't remember the first....

Totally missed the “must go faster” reference with the cart scene

Vejo teasing Linda is the most Vejo thing ever. I loved it 😂

Gave my son my rat prince 💛

I love Monty’s evil dm laugh

Omg the big kinda shield is intense!! Go Jill go!!!

Would love a big Linda mini in the new Kickstarter haha. Been watching you guys since the beginning, and loving every second, keep up the great work.

This is definitely similar monster hunter tracking, research and combat in a nutshell

Took me up until 8 minutes before my game of Dungeons and Dragons starts but finally completed watching. Yay go team, can't wait until the next episode drops on Friday well done guys Big Linda epic battle. OOOOhhhh 2 incoming DnD games! :)

Great job everyone. Super fun welcome back. Hope you had fun at GenCon.

I recently looked back at the old Kickstarter campaign when I received my pledge and I regretted a little that I didn't go for a higher tier before. This campaign I went for the top pledge, I couldn't just pass up all the cool and awesome new things you guys have/are making! Edit: The one I regret most not getting is the Rat Prince Plushie! I'd love it if it came back as a add-on.

Quick question, what level are the player? :) I kind a miss being able to seeing the stats and level of the PC's

Well shit. I just spent the last few days sick and binge watching this whole season so far that I haven’t had the time to watch prior. Now idk what to do with myself now that I’m caught up

Welcome... to Delerium Park 🤣🤣🤣

I love the rats

I‘m sure when there‘s a third kickstarter you‘ll include a mini of bigger linda

Omg the Jurassic Park references 😂.

Hey dudes I don’t know what’s going on but even with alarm settings obeying subscribed I didn’t get any notification about this awesome episode being released! So happy for you both and all the amazing content! Happy I’ve been able to follow from the beginning

Only at the time of the beginning of the Big Linda battle, but I wonder what would happen if they tossed a bottle of the delerium antidote up for Big Linda to swallow.....

Half way through the Big Linda scrap and all I can do is imagine Wilhelm wrapping the dream blanket around her head. Hoping it would seperate her head from her body.

Want those Rat Prince plushie!!!

Having not seen the end of the episode yet, I'm wondering throughout this battle of why Veo and Wilhelm seem to be helping Pluto when he is supposed to be fighting the creature himself per the rules of the Caspian Duel. I hope he doesn't get disqualified

Upgraded force cage your friends can move the bars by hand.

Love all the Jurassic Park references!

I wonder if they shot golden delirium arrows at big Linda. Or fed them to get. What would happen? Right? Lucretia says golden delerium counters it

I love the content so much! Is there any chance for us to get willhelms rulebook?

Executeing God's council from a far country is possible

I hope you guys add a statbock for Big Linda (and maybe Bigger Linda as well) in the new book. Definitely want to this her at my players lol

Ahhh I love his little snaggletooth!

Statblock for Big Linda or we riot!

"Pluto Jackson's Tour of Queen's Park Garden"

The question is will Big Linda be in the new book?!

I created a warlock whose profession was woman shoes salesman. His patron was a woman's boot. The campaign arc was for him to find the woman that the shoe fit. He proceeded to ask every woman to put on the boot. It would scream obscenities about stinky feet every time someone's foot went into it. The right foot hasn't been found yet.

These poor people had to fight Bigger Linda twice

Spoilers pluto is an honest to goodness action hero

Big Linda really deserves the BIG now... was that the stats from Drakkenheim, or did you add some extra fun stuff, Monty? Also, will the bonus live stream also be on youtube, eventually? (I dearly hope so, you guys works way too late for my european butt ;) )

Make a dungeon map that is just a picture of kyle's thumb and put it on screen at the end of the night.

A teleporting Godzilla..........yah.......that's terrifying

Very epic Jurassic Park raid boss.

I really really want to see a stretch goal of a collosal big Linda model!

I enjoy this series except two things. 1) The storyline seems kinda railroaded 2) Alot of these monsters have 1 slim way to unalive them.

King with a broken xbow... Those broken parts should be in the box. Nothing needed for the king...

You know what's funny? Kelly helped create this. Soo many regrets.

I wonder if a torch 1 fire damage would stop the regen like a troll

I love my rat prince stuffy

Unfortunately, Veo shouldn't have been able to cast shield against that attack of opportunity. She misty stepped that turn.

"we are in trouble"

Are those plushies dope? Yes yes yes.

I fear for wrath if the silver order or fallen fire find out he a assimar they try to kidnap him. Assimar would be seen as a blessing by them since they both religious faction who would want him to Join their side.

What is awesome is your new kick start was advertised on Critical Role this week

apparently they forgot about the observers sitting in a rope trick.

I want a Ratprince, yes yes, lol
