  • William and Brian are standing as still as possible in an attempt to blend in perfectly with their surroundings, but aren't nearly as successful as the monster in discussion. D&D's Gargoyles are masters of espionage, have surprisingly powerful wings, and have sand for blood. Find out what else they get up to this week on The Dungeoncast!

    Can’t express how much I love getting to just hear the whole Shoutout to Demogorgon song every episode.

  • @justinmichael9043

    Y’all should do an episode about all of Will‘s favorite books and book recommendations for fantasy readers. Love you guys!

    Gargoyles should be categorized as Constructs IMO, but I think it has to do with how they exists in our world. that, and Magic the Gathering categorizing them as such. Great video as always, guys!

    • @TheMightyBattleSquid
      @TheMightyBattleSquid Před měsícem

      I think they should be categorized as mimics!

    • @TheSlackerNamedJack
      @TheSlackerNamedJack Před měsícem

      ​@@TheMightyBattleSquid Well, mimics are categorized as "monstrocities" so should they be monstrocities?
      I would say yes. Makes more sense than elementals or construcs seeing as they have a finite(ish) life span, have to reproduce, and can be selectively bred.

      From what I've seen they're pretty cool, not a lot of the designs are revealed yet

    If the party wants to cure someone of partial petrification, I think they should have to gargle Garg's gargoyle oil.

    5e is moving away from hard alignments so all modern creatures are "typically" an alignment

    Gargoyles glide, they don’t fly. We learned this in the 90s guys 😂

    @ZaiDrizzleDrop Před měsícem +1

    I wonder if they decided to make this video because Dungeon Meshi (A dungeon crawler/cooking manga/anime where the main characters feed off monsters to get through the dungeon.) had Gargoyles in one of the last few episodes.

    home owner associations in some parts are pretty strict about having gargoyles on your property

  • @EpicRandomness555
    @EpicRandomness555 Před měsícem +1

    So yeah the origin of gargoyles is from being a form of rain gutter spouts. But gargoyles didn’t use to be statues, just spouts.
    Back in the day they would put statues on buildings called grotesques, which were real ugly. And eventually grotesques were carved around gargoyles, and they became known as just gargoyles

  • @KingBluebonnet

    I will forever view the Jeepers Creepers villian as a form of Gargoyle.

    12:10 Nooo! Its "Oh no-" "Oh no!" Gargoyle: "OH YEAHHH" *Busts through the window and becomes the Kool aid man. Instead of Kool Aid, its filled with the blood and visera of the corporate employee's.*

    What if gargoyles fly because they are earth based & they use the planes geomagnetism to force them upwards like the repulsion of common magnets & they guide themselves with their wings sending the pulses that way ,
    Aka
    Falling with terran style

  • @heysamuelhere2733
    @heysamuelhere2733 Před měsícem +2

    Love using Gargoyles. But any experienced player just knows something is up the moment you mention there is a Gargoyle statue around. 😅
    The dragon refusings are stange. I am conflicted. I do think you should be able to use whichever one you want! The new models looks pretty cool. But they look quite generic instead of having the dnd feel to them.

  • @ShurikenSean
    @ShurikenSean Před 19 dny

    I love that because gargoyles don't get along putting statues on your building is like putting a scarecrow or fake owl on your house, possibly warding off actual gargoyles and kr scaring off those that might tresspass
    Though would also enjoy more neutral and good gargoyles, though that may be the 90s gargoyle fan in me

    I would play a Gargoyles TTRPG set in a gothic city with a focus on action and ancient magic vs. technology

    You know what's weird? I watched the 70's cult classic movie Gargoyles right before I clicked on this video.

  • @matthewbennett1972
    @matthewbennett1972 Před měsícem +1

    If I’m remembering correctly you couldn’t hurt Gargoyles without magic weapons or spells in AD&D

    For Illiam and Beard, thats a mini hell. Falling continiously for hours, possible days to weeks.
    The wind rushing around them, it'd probably be unable to sleep. Or eat or use the none existant bathroom.
    Then my mind went to "How would someone eat whilst sky diving precariously." The image of Beard just pulling out a bag of chips and non-chelounately just grabbing floating chips around him. Or face first in the bag. And Illiam "What are you doin- Aren't you going to share??" 😂
    Or Illiam uses magic on a water skin and psudo water bends it like Katar from the last airbender.
    I can also imagine our hero's just sleeping in the air like folks in space do. And when they finally land safe n sound. Next time they go to sleep, complain its too hard and miss the near weightlessness of it.
    Then the gross idea or attempting to use the bathroom. Not gonna explain those thoughts.
    😂 Random thoughts I apologize

    I'm doing the straud campaign and decided to use an aarakocra because I thought it would be fun. Except they don't have dark vision so I'm always lighting torches... anyways, according to aarakocra lore, they are enemies of the gargoyles but sad to see there isn't much qctual lore between the two. I figured if anyone had the info it would be you guys, so i guess it doesnt exist. it's time to write some 😂 thanks for another great show!

  • @retfavrepally9311
    @retfavrepally9311 Před měsícem

    You guys covered a sapphire dragon that had gargoyles and existed in the under dark to fight aberrations I think. I would consider that lawful good maybe?

  • @monkeygrabbrcastoutangel7755

    garglegoyle seems an easy fit for water gargoyles

  • @Silicon

    Great show as always. Love it. Love the whole new stuff you’re doing.
    A note, you keep referring to the new D&D books as OneD&D and according to folks at Wizards, that’s not correct. OneD&D was a (i guess now retired) name for their VTT + DndBeyond + the process that eventually led to the new books. But the new books are not called OneD&D. I think maybe it was more like the name of a project, and not the name of a product of that project, if that makes sense.
    Anyway, i guess there’s gonna be some confusion in the player community until people agree what to call this update. Is it 5.5? Is it D&D 2024?
    What do you think people will wind up calling it?

    • @Thedungeoncast
      @Thedungeoncast  Před měsícem +1

      With the newest reviews to the book I am definitely in the boat of "we are now moving into 5.5 D&D" . It pretty much parallels the same thing that occured with the transition from 3.0 to 3.5 D&D. So moving forward I'll be referring to it as 5.5 D&D. I think I've seen that starting to catch on in different places online, but only time will tell what we all end up calling it.
