Me, patiently waiting for the POV Response of Penelope: 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I have a partial script for one but I am just struggling to make it feel like it's entertaining enough to be worth making! 😩 Maybe I'll revisit it in 2024!
@@GinnyDi Don't force it!
@@GinnyDi don't force it we will love any content
omg pun game is on POINT!Glassholes? Walkie-Shiitakis? amazing!
We aren't good at planning, or thinking about the consequences of our actions, or keeping secrets, or being respectful to powerful NPCs..... but we are very good at puns 😎
The four pillars of D&D: Combat, Exploration, Roleplaying and Punmanship.
@@WildfireMagni PUNMANSHIP!!!!! THAT IS SO GOOD AHAHAHAHAHA
It's my respunsibility to make puns.
@@GinnyDi I am seriously likely to make these NPCs specifically to steal your puns.
I love the sentences you can say about D&D campaigns out of context. Last time my parents asked me how my campaign was going I got to reply ‘well, last week we kidnapped a teenager.’
It’s fine, it’s the Warlock’s teenager. We were rescuing them from the cult the Warlock and all her family were raised in due to the Warlock having seen enough of the outside world with the party to realise that this is legit a cult. We just decided to get the teenager away from the other cultists first, worry about convincing her that the cult was dodgy later.
In my last session we performed surgery on a vulture
I brought what was essentially gillyweed into a campaign and it happened to be found in a particular cave. About half of our group were in the same English class and so we started talking about the “weed cave” before class started
My party gave spiked coffee to an invading army
My mom asked me how my games were going. I told her I took down a giant by beating him with a spiritual longbow all by myself.
In my last session I set a house on fire with an ice spell.
I don't have an explanation I got a nat one and already had a reputation for arson. My dm is evil
The living mushroom hats/pets that let you communicate long distance and trash talk people without them knowing... and you call them "walkie-shi-talkies"? That's brilliant!
Wait...
1) they're "walkie talkies", like the communication devices that are probably mostly obsolete at this point...
2) they're "shit-talkies", because they help you trash talk people...
3) and "shiitake" as in the type of mushroom.
Oh my god! That's a triple entendre!
Actually, walkie talkies are still in common use among emergency personnel and security guards, since they can find themselves in positions where they can't get effective cell service and they have to just make quick transmissions and don't have time to dial the phone or page through a bunch of contact numbers. They just need to talk to their back-ups and supervisors by pressing one button.
Thank you for sharing your player tales! I especially liked the "Walkie Shiitake's". 😁
I love them 😁! Does Jesse have those written up somewhere?
I literally scared the cats, I LOL'ed so hard at that.
I did literally laugh out loud. That one was too good.
I love that it's a triple entendre.
I took 3d6 psychic damage from that one, and that was after going "ew, ew, ew, NOOO" at the super creepy description 😂😂😂
PLEASE MORE STORIES (if you want!)THIS WAS INCREDIBLE
Yes!!
I love hearing people talk about their characters and stories from the campaign!
Would love love LOVE to hear more stories!
"My DnD character killed her Dad"
Haven't we all?
My D&D character killed her dad as part of her backstory lmao
not mine, mine, I hope, is already dead. ok my character can be the grandpa of all because is old
It might have been Pathfinder, but I had a classic trope, sorcerer with unruly magic she didn't know how to control. Just. Fireballed the hell out of her family. Mind you we weren't an RP heavy group and this was... many years ago, I was still pretty young so. But it's definitely happened to me.
I just want to say that I appreciate the heck out of your content. Thanks for creating a wholesome community. Also I really love learning more stories about your characters. Will watch that in whatever form it ends up taking.
Thanks Jordan!!
When Penelope rages, the enemy gets GNOMERCY!!!
In the light of recent events I want to remind you how appreciated you are and how much I love your content and the community you have fostered.
I second the motion
Third that motion. Ginny's videos inspire me so much and encourage me to be a better player.
That's a really impressive paint job, the attention you paid to the little details - like the stitching on the hood, apron, skirt, and knife sheathe, or the cool glowing effect on Beast Penelope's eyes - really brings the whole piece together. Your work here is all the more impressive considering your claim of having 'minimal painting experience' a year ago (though the figures you painted then were also really well done), you must have gotten in quite a bit of practice since then to paint a final product this good! The sculpt on the mini is incredible as well, there was clearly great care taken to so perfectly encapsulate the essence of the character.
Loved the stories too btw, it's always great to get a peek into the insanity that goes on at other tables - helps make me feel better about the bedlam at my own (one of my players just attempted to bribe the grim spectre of Death with his homemade 'pulped-slug wine', and there were several times during the multi-session quest to gather/heist the ingredients for this vile brew that the ridiculousness nearly became too much to bear). I wonder how the Myconids back at Penelope's village will react to the 'Walkie Shiitakes'?
I always love hearing other people's DnD stories. Love the minis, too.
Walkie-shitake's killed me
Ah so this is the story you mentioned in the dungeon dudes video
Your penchant for chaos and silliness has definitely bled into the most recent episodes of Drakkenheim. Everyone's been so giggly lately, especially given the seriousness of the setting... complete with the dead dads too lol
Love the content Ginni!
It’s so funny because I think Eva was probably the least silly character I’ve played in some time! But I can’t fight my nature 😂
Oh my gosh this might just be one of my favorite videos of yours! It feels like I'm talking D&D with a close friend and just chatting about our campaigns and I love it! More of this please!
I created a gnome barbarian for my partner to try D&D. She's now a permanent member of the party in our Rime of the frostmaiden campaign. Luminous Button Mushroom Brewmeister Guzzlemead is from the town of Goodmead, and in our campaign bees collect mushroom spores to make honey, which a gnome community harvests to make mead.
Everyone just calls her Button.
i am obsessed with The Town Council and I hope y'all continue to have amazing hilarious misadventures together for many sessions to come!
Heh. "... sow chaos in peace." Excellent. 🧙♂
Love this style of video! Hearing the antics of other parties is the second-best thing about DnD for me (participating in or officiating such antics is first), and the visual of the minis being painted was a great pairing. I also love the DMing and roleplay advice videos but a sit-back-and-relax video is a nice twist
Loved this. Also, content where you paint and tell stories means that you get more minis painted and we get stories so it’s a win win.
Jesus, that's at least a triple pun. Walkie shit-talkies. Walkie shitakes. Walkie talkies...you continue to be epic.
I played a Gnome Bard, and when I gave Bardic Inspiration to people, I would say, "I Gnome you can do it"
Walkie shiitake is brilliant.
Please please please do more of these, I love watching videos of people talking about their dnd characters
This has to be one of my favorite videos you've made. I adore hearing joyful storytelling. And D&D stories give wonderful ideas about where to guide my own games or how to plant seeds, as a player or a DM.
I love this kind of video!! It's like hearing a friend telling me about their table and I'm all ears 🧐👂
Also: I LOVE twin goddess minis and loved seeing you painting them! 💖
An old technique that can enhance the realistic look of your painted minis is to mix a tiny bit of brown and black paint into some thinner. It should be almost like water. Take a brush and glaze it over the mini in a sloppy mess. When it dries every nook and cranny will be shared in by it like a professional did the job!
i.e. "use a wash", which is what she did in the video?
I love that you have a separate mini for your rage form.
I really enjoyed hearing this super condensed recap of your campaign. I get to hear the story beats and enjoy the raw creativity of DnD without having to listen to like 7 3+ hour sessions. The beats that you remember and tell us feel very much like the beats I remember and think back on fun campaigns I've played.
Would love more videos about the wild stuff your games get up to! Seeing the minis being painting is nice too 😊
i was smiling the whole time through listening to your party’s stories. it sounds so chaotic and fun! the walkie-shiitakes especially got me 😂
Story time with Ginny might be one of my favorite formats ever.
That was really good fun to watch. Thanks Ginny Di. BTW awesome paint job
This is amazing (both the story and the painting) and the combination of the two is even better than the sum of the two parts. Can't wait to see more (if you decide to do more). Thanks for sharing!
Please make more videos sharing tales from your dnd table! I love hearing about what’s going on in other peoples dnd games and getting a glimpse into their fantasy worlds 🤩
Loved this vid, SUPER fun, & the "backdrop" of mini-painting was great!
This was awesome, story time while painting minis is a surefire hit! And what a cozy video just in time for the holidays!
This is so fun! I love hearing the stories and it's so calming to watch you paint!
Your stories are always so wonderful. 💜
This was so fun! I'd love to hear more of your DnD stories!! :D
This video was awesome! Also, I have never played DND before. I plan to someday.
I have several character ideas in mind. Like a beastmaster ranger child of two servants of a noble house saved the life of one of the noble's kids when he was a kid and, in return, got training as a ranger but fell in love with a cruel fae that was emotionally abused for fun.
My ranger "gets away" from the fae as much as you can from a fae.
I think for flaws, he is still getting over the abuse, and he is super jaded, not trusting anyone or anything but his raccoon, which is my ranger pet. The raccoon has a thing for knives, and he is ok with the party because it is too dangerous to be an adventurer alone, I also have a character idea of a Twilight cleric who is really bloodthirsty, like he is in his words, "protecting the sanctity of the night." like he just wants to kill any vampire, murder, petty thief, monster or anything else he deems "using the blessing of night for perverse deed breaking the sanctity of night" to keep him from being just a murder hobo like he can't just kill everything for religious reasons but he really wants to kill the "filthy blood leech" ( aka vampire) his party has taken his prisoner for some reason ( this is just an explane I have played dnd yet)
Another character idea I have is a battle smith artificer only instead of making things through smithing, he makes plushes, and for flavor and backstory, his stuff taps into the power of the dream realm, and his arch wizard teacher is just super
exasperated. "Really, you tap the magic of the dream realm, and THIS is what you do with it!" "you are no longer my student," the arch wizard teacher says, just fed up with my character channeling his magic through plushes even though he is learning everything being taught, and then his parents are pissed that he lost his apprenticeship pretty much tell him no you can't home. And my character is super smart but kind of naive. is like all right I just need to prove my self to master and I will get it all back my teacher and my parents and then he goes off to be a adventurer also his steal defender is a really big ( for a plushy) griffin with wings but it can't fly as steal defenders can't fly in the rules and any time some brings up why dose it not fly he will just look at them like they are stupid and say slowly as to a child " it is a plushy"
Excellent storytelling LOL
"Walkie Shiitakes" made me LOSE IT lmfao
More of these video please! I love hearing about other peoples stories about their games.
Thanks for the table insight! That was fun and your paint jobs looked amazing!
Love short stories so much! Awesome :)
Absolutely loved this and would love to see more!
Amazing mini's and story! Imma be real, that is probably the coolest way I've heard a DM integrate a player backstory, well done to your DM.
Fantastic minis! Totally enjoyed the story. Thank you.
This was super relaxing to have on in the background while I was painting my own minis. Fantastic work on the Penelopes!
This is a cool way to share the stories. Thanks a lot. Also appreciate to hear such stories, because it just feels better to know that I am not just with a bunch of crazy people, but other groups experience to walk along the very thin line between extremely creative and pure chaos in RPGing too 😊 Unintentionally even 😁
I liked watching you paint and telling a story of the character. More of that please, when you have the time to do them of course.
If you do more of these i will definitely watch. Even longer ones, I'm sure this is a bit of a test run.
Love the story!
I wouldn't mind a little breakdown on all of the supplies you are using to paint. I find it interesting and things for me to keep in mind when I next attempt to paint a mini.
More stories please. Your creativity is amazing...
I think this is good content. I love talking about past TTRPG stories. It's like The Moth for Mystical creatures.
Your painting skills are *incredible*! They look so good!
This is fantastic!! I love hearing game stories and sharing my own. Ive seen people say before that those outside your game group dont care what your imaginary friends do but in my experience that just is not the case. I am already so invested in Penelope and the Town Council. Do they resurrect her Dad? Does the demagorgon punish them? Do they accidentally put anything unfortunate in the carnivorous bag of holding???
omg I loved this video so much, I always love hearing the tales of your and of peoples' home games, I hope it was fun to make and that you make more in the future!!
also 9:12 this is D&D culture and I love it so much LMFAO
I love your storytelling- thanks for sharing the fun of your campaign!
Seriously, how are you this talented??? Amazing stories, you can paint this well and sing like a siren... good on you Ginny!
I love the stories, and the mini painting.
I love this please do more videos like it
Impressive work with the minis.
I love hearing stories from folks' games, this sounds like an absolute joy of a campaign. Loved the minis as well, they came out great!
I have had characters become gods in the game and never had a game go over 9 months. Our games were fast paced combat oriented wish fulfillment games since we were teens. My favorite character, who lived on god-tier, but did not officially become a god, and unquestioned lord of the pantheon until 10 years later as an npc in our very last game. It was incredibly cathartic. At this point I'd play any game.
The best part of ttrpg's are the wild stories. More please!
loved hearing about Penelope's adventures!
Sow chaos in peace! And loved the video! Keep up the amazing work!
I applaud your imagination and your artistic skills.
Thank you for sharing, that was so cool! And you are great at painting minies! Raging Penelope looks scary in an amazing way!
Amazing minis, amazing paintjob and amazing stories.
Yes, please tell me more! I got distracted from the minis just by listening to your story! ♥
This was great! More please! ❤😊
The ad's music caught me super off guard, as i'm doing a dimension 20 sophomore year rewatch and i was like KALINA OH NO lol
"Till his final breath" Killing him and reviving him wouldn't work because it is assumed that he would breath again after he got revived. Very good storytelling.
I love your videos. You've got a great, fun, calm aesthetic~
Your DM sounds AMAZING! Thanks so much for sharing!
I love hearing these stories!
I looooove Hearing about your campaign shenanigans and the Minis turned out sooooo cute 😍😍😍
I would love to hear more in game storuws, they're always so much fun to hear others tales and misadventures
This was really fun! I always love hearing good DnD stories.
Really enjoyed the stories going along with the painting. Hopefully we can see and hear more? Maybe with a certain Orc character?
great way to story tell, would watch more thank you!
Loved this chill video
Awesome story, always down for more actual play tales!
Nice and relaxing video! Thank you for all your hard work! 🎉
Love the Table Stories! Definitely appreciate not wanting them to be "work", but any time you feel like throwing one in rest assured we will be hanging on the edge of our chairs to listen. You tell a good tale - this one reminded me of Robert Redford in Spy Games, where he plays a CIA black-ops director about to retire, but he gets called in to give some background info on an agent he trained. He spends the movie reeling off yarn after yarn of "back in the day" stories that has everyone else open-mouth stunned. That was me through this video 🤣
I totally get wanting to sow chaos in peace. So happy you shared some of your home game stories with us. Can’t wait to hear more about the town council, if you choose to share more that is.
Yep this was awesome! Would love more game stories
This was great! It was so fun to hear about the fun side notes
WAIT I LOVE THIS FORMAT OF VIDEO!!!
Your table sounds AMAZING! I really hope that the table I’m currently at can get to this comfort level.
I want to say thank you for sharing your stories and teaching us all about DnD. I am interested in DnD and your video have been helping me out lately. Just want to say Thank you. And P.S. saw DnD in the castle trailer and saw you in it. Again thank you
> And the final battle was with a red dragon... ... ... -fly.
That was DM brilliance.
Thanks for sharing this excerpt of your own D&D adventures and your paint job looks great!
I got my second batch of your minis about two weeks ago but haven't gotten around to painting them yet. I haven't even painted the first batch yet. (Yikes!) Unfortunately, in my case, two of the minis were damaged during transport. One of Raging Penelope's tentacles had broken off and May Bell had lost one of her feet. I was able to superglue May Bell's foot back on. But when I tried to do the same with Penelope's tentacle, it slipped out of the tweezers I was holding it with, fell to the ground, and disappeared.
I turned everything upside down to find it, in constant fear of hearing a cracking sound if I should accidentally step on it, but it was like it had been sucked into another dimension. I started cleaning the floor, moving furniture and even taking off my clothes and checking to see if it got caught anywhere. Still nothing. Eventually I gave up the search and attempted to sculpt a replacement out of modeling clay, but realized this was pointless given my lack of experience and skills in the field.
I tried to forget about it and think about something else, but the missing tentacle just wouldn't leave me alone. Even such a small piece of plastic cannot simply disappear! Then I remembered that the rug behind my chair had tasseled edges that could easily catch a piece of plastic with lots of little spikes. I had already lifted and shaken the rug during the big search, but I had not checked the tassels. So now I did that and started with the nearest edge and found nothing. Then I went to the other end of the carpet and there it was! It had been stuck there the whole time! I glued it back on right after and now all the minis are whole again and tucked away savely in the box where I keep my "pile of shame" until I get around to paint them.
Sorry for the long text, but I just had to tell someone who would understand why this was such a drama to me.
I'm looking forward to the release of the third bundle of your minis and hopefully I will have painted the others by then.
Happy New Year 🎉
I thoroughly enjoyed listening this type of video.
This was so much fun!!!
Please more stories! Love the carniverous bag of holding.
