We're launching a Kickstarter campaign! The Crooked Moon, a folk horror supplement for 5e, is coming this October! Become a VIP and unlock exclusive rewards including a Chuckles enamel pin: get.thecrookedmoon.com/

If you are here because of Chuckles the Clown, he shows up in episode 2 about an hour in, but trust me there are plenty of laughs to be had before that!!

Fun fact: bananas are in fact berries and thus would qualify for good berry

came for chuckles, stayed for the chuckles

1:02:39 is the start of the green child bit "No this is an adult man you're looking at. It's an adult man. It's an adult man goblin."

I finally decided to start watching the series instead of just running into the shorts on repeat. Needless to say I'm so far not regreting it one single bit

Hearing "my fucking LEGS Gricko!" genuinely made me lose it every time. Great first episode over all

“Yes going into the swamp where these frog people will be totally out of their element.” Underrated and hilarious.

You don't meet in a tavern, you wake up in a tavern... FINALLY SOME FUCKING VARIETY!

gideon, throwing up: gricko: 🧍

Players: *vibing to the RP of the journey* Nikkie: *This is taking too long, I'm bending time and space...*

I like her stumbling through the opening. And I'm not being facetious. A lot of the popular series for DND involve actors and people who are paid generously to focus solely on a campaign. She comes across like a really fun, good, NORMAL DM. Refreshing to watch a campaign and not a production.

I desperately need an animation of this entire podcast- no more shorts, an entire 3-hour long animation of this podcast

Why did it take me a 3 hour session to clock "Frosty the Tiger"... I am ashamed, puns don't normally take this long to register. My thanks to Gricko for reminding me that "Uncle Frosty says breakfast is the most important meal of the day" XD

I love Frost and Gricko’s friendship 🥺

After seeing all the shorts about chuckles, I've been waiting for this series to come out!

2:21:47 The smug grin on Derek's face and the pure disgust and horror on everyone else's is so valid

"Tom you have a very lovely singing voice! Don't give up on your dreams!" "He's an asshole!" "Oh I'm sorry I hate you Tom~..." Gricko is officially my favorite

me: *trying to eat dinner* gideon: *vomiting up his bones*

1:19:16 the warlock: explaining why he wants to die after knowing his patron is okay 😢 Tom outside: 🤠🪕🎵🎶

Torbek dying: "O-OKAYYY- EUNGGH *nuhh* eunghh" Frost: Don't do it, no no.

The “I want to die” moment made me laugh so hard I cried 😂

The group discussing everything in grave detail The old warlock just wishing they would shut the hell up so he can go to bed

"Help me with my fucking legs, Gricko" Absolutely lovely

I love the range of characters Derek can do frosty is such juxtaposition from Bitsy I absolutely adore it

(1:56:22) My F*cking legs Gricko!! (this bit continues for a few minutes) (1:58:07) Gideon describes everyone's issues and Gricko's standing there with his intrinsic value

"are those good odds?" "Eeeehhhh... no" That delivery was perfect

I'd be ecstatic if somebody animated that whole booster seat bit. I was luaghing so hard I thought I was going to throw up

Aww, it's so nice seeing a group of perfectly kind and genuine adventurers helping out an old, retired, rich warlock find his patron so he can die in peace. I'm sure they have no ulterior motives and are just doing it out of the kindness of their hearts ^w^

Came for Mace laughing at everything, stayed for the emotional rollercoaster. And Mace laughing at everything, the man is a friggin mood.

I love how the bad guy is named “Remmy Garoux”. It’s a funny play on Ruegaroux. These gator/Louisiana references surrounding the lizarfolk character are amazing!

me, having seen a few of the shorts starting the episode: haha might watch this funny little show for a bit me, having finished the first session: *i am suddenly very sad and very obsessed*

Just started watching and ill have to admit. They are good at marketing because i never would have watched this but the shorts ive been seeing for months and the fact that ive enjoyed every single one has finally made me fully visit what this channel has going on. Good on them

2:13:58 I have never heard a laugh in my life that sounds half as close to a police siren as this one does

Frost has to be my favorite so far "My fucking LEGS Gricko!"

if you happen to be looking for the Carlfish moment, it happens in Episode 31 2:24:38 [[Edit] 3 Weeks later] after creating this to first say "oh, thank you for all the likes and positive words." I do mean that. I was surprised it got any attention but I am glad it helped many people find the bit they wanted to watch. Also, to further give more detailed if you are coming from the Carlfish Short which links to episode 1 of the campaign, the actual Carlfish moment occurs on the episode, 31, the youtube video is called - Once Upon a Witchlight Ep. 31 | Feywild D&D Campaign | Electrum Chef The short is actually split between several moments spread out over roughly an hour with banter, which "@theVercci" included in a reply to my post, so I thought let's break down each part. It's split up into a couple moments in Episode 31 Electrum Chef. 1:49:02 Kreamy asks the intro question to the short "You got the Crawfish, Right?" Which leads into banter which at 1:49:22 goes into the DM's Fairy saying she has either the carlfish or crawlfish which starts off some of the carl banter, such as all three carlfish are labeled "carl". But quickly goes back to the main plot story and character interactions/discussions and off the carl banter for nearly 30 minutes. 2:24:07 The part where the fairy cook hurriedly adds the Carlfish because she forgot and kreamy had to remind the fairy cook because she completely forgot as it had been 30 minutes since the first bits of banter. 2:24:34 The fairy cook says she completely forgot, and takes them out of their jars and puts them in the stew. (So the beginning of what feels like the main part of the short.) 2:24:39 Kreamy begins to asks "Oh god are they still alive?!" leading into the following Carl Banter. You can pretty much watch all the way through at that point, the short obviously had to cut some sections of the banter when Nikkie had to change the DM Music playing so she wasn't responding at first but states later she was "Listening to the screams die down of "Carl, Carl, and Carl"." 2:27:19 is when Derek begins to be a "Cooked Carl" in the last bit of the short plays out. I also included a copy of this info in episode 31 itself for those who wanted to see each little bit. I will probably do this for other shorts I just adore from time to time if people want more "short break downs".

2:21:38 I've never seen or heard that teeth/broken nose trick before today, but I'm LOVING IT!

Idk if someone's done this yet so, here's the poem at the start: Once upon a witchlight hour The sleeping queen stirred in her tower And through grand halls passed lock and key Came to her slumber, dreams of three The first brought laughter filled with with fright The second, love defiled by spite, The third a world of pure delight She welcomed these, they were her own But soon through porcelain lips a groan Her silvery dreamscape now forsaken To pain from which she’d not awaken Something blighted had come hither Fowl as nightshade creeping thither From yon the gravelike curse did whither The little prince wept in his spire His wounded heart had one desire A ballad from the dreaming queen Could turn his maelstrom mind sereen He vowed her rescue speech sincere But toys will be his shield and spear So he scoured for one whole year In springtime wreathed in parenthood The prince first found a toy of wood A dollset, beasts and wild things But listen close and each one sings A song of child, owl and bear A song that calls the spirits there A song for monsters with much hair When summer heat steamed like a kettle, The prince then found a toy of metal A rocking horse with ashen mane Around his neck was draped a chain It’s horn and eyes and nose shoot flame With mighty hooves and sturdy frame No better steed one could proclaim He searched from autumn's harvest throne The prince then found a toy of bone Lettered blocks, stacked to the sky When turned to words, could only lie Deceit known to the hounds of hell, Makes for a potent hex or spell Of souls, of sin, of shadowfell From winter’s chill, from peak to pass The prince then found a toy of glass Marble spun in measured motion Like careful thought, or certain notion Each glinting cats eye seeing all From stars beyond the cosmic sprawl To inner strength, and mind’s recall The day has come, no time for rest The fateful toys placed in a chest With stripes of white and stripes of red Just like a big top by his bed The little prince prepares a flower For either outcome, sweet or sour And makes a wish, for love, for power Once upon a witchlight hour (if someone has done this already or the channel wants me to take this down, just tell me and I will delete it.)

It’s finally here I’ve been waiting for this campaign. Can’t wait for chuckles

Who’s your favourite character? How did you hear about Legends of Avantris? My favourite at this point in the journey is Morning Frost! I found Legends of Avantris from a TikTok about Chuckles. ~ Inspired by Flando, whose timestamp comment I use every time I watch Critical Role. ~ Have a great week and if you found this useful give it a like.

2:03:17 you don’t know how loud I bursted out laughing when I heard “help me with my fucken legs gricko “ and it’s like 4am

these are actually the sickest race/class combos, accents, and character designs. came for chuckles stayed for literally everything else

Frost and Grinkos calm and kindness with the fairy was so sweet I can’t. That scene got me ngl

how’s no one talking about the Lexi part at the very end?? that was HEARTBREAKING. damn near brought me to tears:(( excellent voice acting on Nikkie’s part

2:59:09 i came for the clown and now I'm crying wtf this was the saddest death EVER

The "do you need a booster seat for your green child" killed me

The greatest bit in this is "gricko my fucking legs gricko help me gricko what the fuck my fucking legs gricko"

Everyone came for Chuckles, I'm here because of "Do you need a booster seat for your green child?!?!" ok but chuckles is hilarious too :D

i just love that Mace laughs with his whole body, i honestly think that hes gonna pop a blood vessel every time he laughs

Any other party would have probably attempted a medicine check or casting a spell, but the fact that you guys spent so much time on that swamp bit is both genius and hilarious at the same time

"This is actually a goblin, an adult man. This is an adult man you're looking at.... you're looking at an adult man goblin" -Frost This has to be one of my all time favorite lines in the whole campaign!

"I seem to have intrinsic value" "I'm glad you finally see that about yourself" Frost is a true friend

2:55:11 Frost is concerned Gricko is flabbergasted Kremy is on the verge of laughter Gideon has had enough Hootsy is dead

"Yeah he's a right old asshole but the boy can play!" I love them yelling at Tom LMAO!

I love the dynamic between Kremy and Gideon.

i think my favorite part (at the moment of being like 2 hours in) is that they all just unanimously refer to Gideon as a "skellington" & not a single one of them notices or bothers to correct it to "skeleton"😂😂😂

“I would need to win a hand every two minutes and it would have to be a double or nothing every single time… for 8 hours” This followed by Frost interrupting a serious conversation with the exact odds of that is absolutely golden

2:29:0 poor Nikkie just reaching her limit and pretty saying "shut up nerds, I need to progress the story" lmao 😂😂

Is anyone else imagining this whole game taking place at night in a Borderlands version of a Louisiana swamp? Because between the music and the accents, I'm getting a lot of really strong vibes, and it's freaking awesome!

Warlock: and I don't know how to do it Gideon: we have to kill chuckles

i love how much griko loves hoopsie like at 1:11:19 he's like "hoopsie its almost your birthday we have to throw the biggest part" while the rest is dissucssing the matter at hand

So seeing shorts and watching 99% of the funniest d&d play ever, I WASN'T READY FOR LEXI!!

2:14:01 that extra long wheeze from Mace in the silence had me dead🤣🤣

Holy shit, Nikkie, that voice acting at the end gave me SHIVERS 😱 I'm loving this campaign so far!

I love how almost every time Mace laughs he looks like he's eating his character namplate bio thing

Ran through Matt's content. Sprinted through Brennan's content. Saw Chuckle's, about to saunter through this by the ambient music.

2:21:42 'ya gotta do the trick' *C R A C K*

1:21:41 no punching people to death he says. Oh Gricko, if only you knew what’s coming.

2:58:08 my fucking heart. I came here from KZfaq shorts I didn’t want to cry.

nikkie's ability to perfectly impersonate an old man is terrifying, i love her

Thank you all for introducing me to D&D Beyond, i absolutely love the character creation and digital dice rolls. PS: I don't see how Nikkie uses so many voices, I can barely do 2.

I feel like Mace's barfing Gideon was the single most realistic piece of roleplay in the episode. Thanks a lot. I lost a sandwich to that, you bastard.

i'm only halfway through and there are so many things i love about this already: - debate over what counts as a 'giant' pumpkin - the wood carvings - considering bypassing the entire campaign and just smothering an old man to death - the singer in the soundtrack being a guy just standing outside the house

Saving this for myself: 2:21:46 I love everyone's reaction

man this DnD channel needs to be so much bigger than it is, it is so good, so funny, and so entertaining to watch! I have always wanted to try DnD but I am introverted and need very close people to play with so it is rare for me to actually try but watching your videos makes me really want to get into it!

I would literally give my kneecaps just to play for one single session with these guys

I love the fact that the imaginary death of clown spawning an inappropriate clown ghost brought most of us here. Its like what the old stories used to say "when God kills a clown he creates a gathering"

1:57:39 "spread your legs! spread em Frosty!" - Gricko 2022

Damn I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty bummed about Lexi I really had hope Gricko could do it but I really appreciate him relaxing her with the Hippogriff wings that was a lovely gesture to put her mind at ease ❤️

2:21:44 the pure horror in everyone is amazing.

❤️ Thank you for uploading! What a talented group!

After seeing a bunch of shorts I decided to watch the full campaign. I just love how Nikkie gives the players room to play out their characters and when she steps in she does it amazingly well. So fun to watch. Everything just feels so genuine like no one plays it for the camera, just a bunch of friends playing DnD.

In the beginning, I thought Hootsy was like, a baby owl, just following them, but no, it’s an owl bear I also unironically have an owl plush named Hootsy from when I was like 8 😂 Edit: turns out, Hootsy is also 8 years old lol

im always seeing Chuckles, Torbek, and Gricko pop up on my tiktok, so i finally found the campaign so i can watch the entire story. thank you for all the laughs so far and very much looking for many more to come.

I’m at 1:34:25 , when they said, “Just a bag of beans” I got really excited. Are they THAT bag of beans. Cause that is a really fun item

I've been seeing the shorts for these all the time and have been WAITING for the vod to come out, and the art for Gideon whew hi sirrrrr

"My fucking LEGS" "Fucking TENT" this is the most I've ever laughed 🤣

"Chuckles! Honk Knight! I will figure out a way to give WINE TO HELL if you kill Klutzy!" That line sounds so badass

Came for Chuckles the Clown, stayed for the mind blasting quality and nonstop humor

The party refusing to leave the house, and then being even more adamant about staying after the dm begs for them to leave is absolutely classic lol.

Ok but can we talk about how absolutely gorgeous and professional that opening was? Genuinely seemed like it would be for a movie!

I love how the party goes from these insane hilarious moments, to an actual bit of a tearjerker right at the end of the session. I think I'm hooked on this campaign already.

Dude wait- why is this so high quality???? The intro?!? IS PHENOMENAL!??!?!!! I never thought the clip of chuckles talikng about chlamidia would have started here lmao

Good god, I love Gideon’s laugh, regardless if it’s in character or out of it.

I came for Chuckles, but I'm sticking for Nikkie. Good lord, her acting is on POINT! Lexie had me on the edge of my seat!

ALRIGHT, you've won me over with your shorts. I'll finally watch the long version

"Does your green child need a booster seat" made me burst out laughing!

The "Gricko being a child" incident reminded me of something that happened in the Pathfinder campaign I'm currently involved in. Our Bard is a goblin. A pink goblin named Gursmf. But his gimmick isn't that he's horny. No. His gimmick is that he doesn't know he's a goblin, and is scared of all monsters. Including goblins. Show him a mirror, he will go "EEP!" and try to hide. So recently, we found out that non-green goblins are an endangered species. So we need to explain to little Gursmf that we need him to make "more little pink people." That's the words of an NPC, not one of the characters. Now, the session before, Gursmf had got an apprentice, a young boy of about eight. Now, since Gursmf isn't aware that he's a goblin, and is a bit unclear on distinctions between races in general... well, not long later after we told him about "needing more little pink people," he proudly presents us his apprentice, now doused in pink paint. Shortly thereafter, we had to clean the boy up, send him home, and give Gursmf "the talk." In the end, our NPC let it slip that there's a yellow goblin with a similar psychological... "condition" that we can set Gursmf up with. So hopefully, we can save the species. But none of them will know that they're goblins.

Ik this is only the first episode but I love how Gricko acts like a naive child and all his friends are completely nice about it and don't make fun of him or yell at him for his clueless thoughts

Mace’s laugh has to be one of the funniest and entertaining laughs ever! He just does not give a sh!t and just laughs his @ss off and I’m here for it 😂
