The adventure that everyone dreams of playing - until they actually play it

I mean, I kinda love this adventure. For one, it's basically D&D goes Indiana Jones. Lost cities, jungles, racing other factions... it's a very fun thing to pitch to players :) Second, I love how it leans into the inherent silliness that D&D sometimes rails against. Dinosaur races? Hell yeah. Goblin battle stacks? No doubt. All the weird shit in the tomb? Why not, let's go! Been prepping to run this for a group, and it's been a delight to read.

My group just finished ToA tonight, I was a player, not the GM. Our GM really cut things back, as we are more story driven rather than dungeon dwellers. After listening to your recap, I'm very glad with how our GM used this as the backbone for our story but added a bunch of his own ideas as well as things that related to our characters.

Your channel is criminally underrated. Your content is funny, concise, and the production quality is above channels with 1mil subscribers

I was just thinking about getting ToA. Everything has aligned perfectly.

Oh, this is a pick-me-up after a terrible day at work

This guy deserves so many more subscribers.

I just noticed Port Nyanzaru is in the shape of a dinosaur. That's adorable.

Nice, actually running this for my group now. Accurate as always lol

5:47 😂 I have never laughed this hard at a well-done echo effect and I'm instantly hooked. Helps that I'm planning a similar adventure and already interested but I sing your praises! 🎉 Well done 👍

This is such an underrated channel, wish you to be blessed by the algorithm

I call the Soul Monger a vacuum cleaner because it's easy to explain it like that. :D

Really hope you've got more content on the way, mate, I love this channel! Watching your "So you want to run..." videos on repeat: the editing, the comedy - they're just such good quality 💪

Phenomenal rundown vid!

Dude I just decided to run this yesterday - are you a mind flayer who has been reading my mind to maximize my loyalty as a subscriber?

Great video! Insanely entertaining!

Hi. I recently saw your videos. And I think they are really really good and even getting better over time. I like the newer ones even more. I can understand if you are getting tiered of KZfaq. And that making them takes a lot of your time. But I just want to say, that I, and a lot of other people had a great time watching. And I really hope you continue. I wish you all the best

The "Let the body hit the floor" jokes crackt me up. I need to watch the videos more than one time because english is not my mothertongue, so I don´t understand everything at the first time in that speed.But I really enjoy it :D I love the small gags (same with "Downtown" in out of the abyss). Cool video and funny explanation!

I remember running this game and the players didn't give a flying f*@k about the Death Curse and I had to make up a new plot hook. It devolved into Monster Hunter: Chult Edition. 1 player got a Chocobo for her race animal. (Which costed 2K gold) 1 player got a Yoshi-saurus. (A rare breed that requires combing the jungle) 1 player got a telepathic talking triceratops. (Basically donkey from Shrek). 1 player got Blue from Jerassic World. My players loved the level 1 to 5 short adventure. I decided to retcon the Death Curse from happening. The villain of the game was essentially the Undead IRS whom the Warlocke and Sorcerer made a pact with a Lich whom resided in the jungle. I changed it to Azalin Rex because I couldn't pronounce the module's official Lich character for a few months. So on a side note, the players became wealthy individuals and took their mounts with them back to the Sword Coast. The "Jurassic Battle Swingers" made a name for themselves... or JBS. The players named themselves that because they wanted to avoid a zombie Horde and the Fighter suggested using dangling vines I muttered as filler description. Then had a chance sequence of a giant murder pterodactyl which I ripped off the giant eagle from Curse of Strahd. After that, the table made 'swingers' jokes and I had an NPC joked about their actions. Then I find out a week later the Bard proudly repeat the name in public. "We'll swing there, and everywhere. Got a old lady who needs help, we'll swing over there." - Bard. After killing me with their humor. College life was about to ramp up. So I wrote a final badass race which had 3 players knocked out the race. To which the Bard was the one to win for the team. The players loved it, I got to read the end of the adventure. And we'll return to these characters once most of them graduate. Chult is one hell of an awesome location.

2:47 OMG its an old style power hammer! Not as quick as the pneumatic ones we have today but its still a powerhammer!

This makes me wanna buy the module and run it- I know my players would hate it but in a good way

Sounds super fun up until the actual tomb.

This channel needs more subs wtf

Win or lose due to it, racing dinosaurs is never a waste of time.

Yo these are awesome, please do Storm King’s Thunder next!

3:04 lmao!

ALGORITHM LETS GOOOOO

This is probably really entertaining for people who've actually played the campaign.

Green DM: Evil cat people but the weaker Version: Me: Oh thank god !!!

great video

I wish I could like this 100 times! THANK YOU Green DM! 😊

Being a DM currently running this module makes the video even funnier

Finally a new one 👍

Ay these videos are pretty funny

I love these so much. Super helpful for my 1498DR campaign. Any chance we get SKT?

Welcome to the Jungle, we have Fun and Games ... and Dinosaur Races

hahahha amazing video!

We got to floor 5 of the dungeon. We booked it and barely detoured and I think the wizard contractor was still very very close to being dead. We did almost nothing in town except rent npcs. That tomb was just too wild.

That 8 minutes felt like an hour

Another one

This was the 1st ever game I played in D&D..... & HOO-BOY! what a mistake that was! *11 sessions in, a player playing a Homebrew sorceress w. Main Character Syndrome murders my character (a Monk with a Homebrew class) at Nangnangs temple then tries to pass off to the Yuan-Ti as an ally & get the team to surrender..... which fails spectacularly! Made to sit out the game but now in a 2nd session in a Homebrew campaign

I want to play this

But…. Racing dinosaurs!

A basement full of lobsters give me dark souls flashbacks

We made it to the door, We killed each other.

Idk maybe I'll play this module some day so I shouldn't watch it because of the spoilers. Watches it anyway. Yeah I don't think watching this video gives you a leg up...

6:03 Tsuyu Asui!!!!!!!

Deez are getting good

I played in this module as a cleric... and there was not a whole lot of obvious direction to the story that I noticed... or perhaps the DM didn't say much of it? I don't know I got distracted a lot by our guide being an utterly useless pos and never having enough cleric spells to keep people conscious.

I bought this to start running as a game in between games. In case someone can't make our typical session so players don't miss out on our current story. I was going to just fill them in on the previous 2 chapters of ToA and start them on chapter 3. They're currently level 5, very close to level 6 PCs. Looking for feedback here. Any thoughts?

Why not play tomb of horrors?

I have to admit that our current run through of Tomb is really throwing up issues. The difficulty curve is all over the place and we haven't really come across anything that has really been a stand out 'wow' event. The whole experience is traipsing through the jungle getting random combat encounter after random combat encounter. The GM actually faced a player rebellion over the complete lack of magic items as well. I don't know if it's intentional but we hit level 6 with a bag of holding, a cloak of resistance and a +1 shield. I did discuss this with the GM as it felt impossible that we'd missed all of these cool locations loaded with awesome magic items and he pretty much said 'there's nothing to find in the locations you've visited'. When I was sold the campaign it sounded like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones but it's been so weirdly random. We meet characters and they sound like they might be important to the plot then we never see them again. We go to places that seem like they'll be epic, there's a couple of combat encounters and nothing in the way of reward, just another dozen or so combat encounters to get to the next location. Maybe we've missed stuff (I keep telling myself that every week) and that's why the whole experience just feels a bit disconnected. In some essence the campaign has been reduced to a slog through a jungle as we just hack our way towards the Tomb, hoping to get the experience over as soon as we can do.

Yeaaah... this module sucks. It's one thing to make a punishing dungeon full of bad game design (some people want that so chef don't judge) but then it has the GALL to give you 0 loot for your efforts unless the DM goes out of their way to take the "option" the book clearly doesn't want you to take of letting them keep the god items. Which aren't great anyway!

Damn cool concept, but this campaign towards the latter half fucking *SUCKS*

5e Tomb of annihilation is garbage
