I love how the title blurb to each video is different and acts like a cold open without spoiling anything about what's in the video. It's so clever!
Honestly a great idea for a channel the world of podcasting has grown pretty dull as a whole there’s several hours of the day I use to listen to podcasts that’s now open that this will now take part in filling
Americans do have shape shifting accents at least I do because I’ve lived in New York New Jersey California Oklahoma Texas Washington Washington DC Virginia Maryland and Missouri so my accents change with whatever phrase I’m using basically
Tom is brewing sth special here. I really like the recurring intros. Reminds me of the Simpsons:)
😊😊
Cronky Bungus' bomb fumble is Simon's grenade incident just in an alternate universe.
The idea that once in every universe there is a version of the Cronky Bungus Bomb Fumble is very discworld.
holy shit it is too
Nice throwback
I was surprised that none of them made the connection.
it's a canon event
Simons "no I prefer missionary" was absolute gold!
i wonder what the "jester position" looked like in his mind lmao
Gotta love Hulmes going somewhat realistic, and then immediately being followed by the Bunguses.
I do believe that the plural of 'Bungus' is 'Bungi'
My favourite thing in anything is when Tom does a character that goes "It's me, [Character Name]" in that one voice
It's wonderful and all of them are incredibly good boys and/or girls.
Simon's absolute fumble and the incredible preparedness of Tom made me howl!
Fucking amazing
When Simon said to roll for Colin's Agility I thought Tom might make it up on the spot and maybe the video would cut after a sheet had been made, but damn he prepared so well. Good omen for the channel's success with such a high quality GM at the helm.
Makes me sad for all those prepared characters that never see the light of day he makes.
The first voice had me dying.
If anyone is interested “mörk borg” is Swedish and means “dark fortress”
Or in English: murk borough!
The one time swedish actually sounds exactly like it does in the muppets
I'm swedish and I didn't even notice that until you said it, I thought it was just some wacky rando
What a beautiful language
when tom talked about MÖRK Borg i think it was probably with ben i thought it was just mork borg didnt think it had a meaning but i was just like sure thats a name but now i see on the video title the swedish version of Ø Ö which i didnt catch at first cause im norwegian so i was like hang on a second isnt that swedish the name isnt just nonsense its just brits beeing terrible at pronouncing things
I can already tell this is going to be my new favorite channel
Me too I've been so deprived of dnd roleplay call of cthulu and such I've rewatched all the old series so many times at this point I'm so happy
same!!! i just finished the disintegrator and it was amazing!
Oh yeah, me too
@@tom8636 I never watched these rp videos until this channel, ive been missing out
“A naked man should never touch his sister” “I’m never sharing a pair of trousers with you again Ravs” “Peer pressure” So many phenomenal lines from Simon this episode
“What about your character though?” X2
Praise be to Collin the Duck, he who will lead the feathery revolution!
You'd have to be Quackers to not support our Ducking Overlord.
I love the fact that Lydia just keeps making stuff up about Simon's character and he just rolls with it!
Simon set a precedence for how hilarious this campaign and future campaigns are going to go, and I am here for it.
"how about your character though?" Oof.... Simon starting out with a drive-by headshot lmao
8:07 Fun that Simon and Lydia decided to show up and RP as Bouphe and Osie.
The Duke and Jingly John is the best possible combination of Mark Hulmes and Angory Tom I could possibly imagine
I fucking lost it when the jingles played while he got the shit kicked out of him 😂
Crunky Bungus will be played by Warwick Davis in the film adaptation of _The Goblin Grinder_
What a star studded cast! Cant wait for more.
Crunky is my favourite character in any tabletop game. Too bad he was so short lived.
he died as he lived: bungusing it up
As short a life as the fuses on his bombs.
Simon has such a quick wit, always a pleasure to see him in a roleplaying scenario.
Simon's comedic instincts are just too good. the world needs him to be unleashed.
A Tabletop roleplaying Game, run by Tom with Simon _and_ Hulmes? This channel is like paradise!
Petition to have each of Tom's intros gradually tie into eachother into an extended cinematic Angory-verse
25:00 Simon asking why they want to save the king is super monty python LMAO
Lydia is a national treasure that must be protected at all costs. Mostly from herself, but protected none the less
The Simon and Lydia duo, across the channels, across the ages, across the many magical moments, is such a beautiful combination of hilarity and chaos.
Jingly John is my new favourite tom character
Would've never expected Mork Börg as one of the first games on any channel. This is gonna probs be epic.
"I mean, a rat could have bitten it off...you never know" - Very much appreciate that Jingle Jam oneshot reference
You can always guarantee that any session Tom DM's will be glorious chaos and nonsense.
I actually bought the Mork Borg manual/rule book because of how awesome you said it was Tom. I was so pumped up thinking about how cool it must be that I forgot I don't have literally any friends and you can't really solo role play... I mean you can.. but I think they call it 'mental sickness' at that point.
Really cool book though, I recommend it to anyone who actually has friends and all that jazz.
There’s a thousand different discords with people looking for GMs to play with. TabletopObscura, Harfrost and TheHorribleDecember to name a few of the ones I’m a part of. If you want to play that’s more difficult, but it costs nothing to jump on those and ask.
I also bought it after Tom mentioned it. It actually has a separate solo ruleset you can buy called solitary defilement. Haven't given it a go but looks cool
@@Winter-ut3bb Sounds less like a RPG and more so an act of RPM... if you get my meaning. I'll have to check it out though. I mostly looked at the pretty pictures and then thought "Man, I bet this would be fun" then put it on my bookshelf. So I'll have to give it a more thorough read. Does sound like a depressing way to spend time... which apparently I'm into, but maybe that's a bit too far for even myself.
You're in luck there's a solo play supplement for it called Solitary Defilement
Oh boy, I can't wait to see more of Krunkey Bungus in future episodes!
Simon, Ravs, Lydia AND HULMES!! this is an iconic group (love seeing hulmes outside of high rollers stuff!)
Hulmes being absolutely exasperated at Ravs shenanigans
Simon and his bloody bombs/grenades, the universe is really trying to tell him something.
Crunky Bungus and the talking duck is genuinely a KZhead GOAT moment for me 😂 absolutely hilarious 👏🏻 🦆
3 Minutes into the episode and I'm already laughing my ass off, so happy to see roleplaying content getting its own platform!
The real mystery is why this was'nt done sooner, can't wait to binge the lot!
I think I almost died laughing just about the whole time
Off to a cracking start. The world gives off strong Heavy Metal vibes, and the characters are absolutely insane.
For the whole last 10 min of the episode I kept having to pause and get my breath back because I was laughing so hard it hurt.
Always lovely seeing Mark as a player!
Honestly he was kind of terrible in this. He kept saying "no" to their attempts to improv. He needs to learn to relinquish some control when he's not the DM.
@@FrostedCreations can you give example?? I didn't notice anything, at least I just put most of what hes done to his character's personality and liked how he was so committed to acting like a snobby controlling lazy used-to-be nobility, as opposed to another person in this character... I could see other people just "going along" with what everyone else is doing, not committing to the character
@@Gunnarr123abc That's called "My guy"ing and it's not good for helping to have a fun game. In the bar the others offered multiple suggestions to deceive the people in the bar, like when Lydia asked him for coin to bribe them, but he just said "no, my character wouldn't do that". And to help he just said "well my character is used to getting his way" without actually doing anything to help. I get that he's playing a posh twat but it leaves everyone else helpless and struggling to work around that character otherwise the story doesn't progress. Also when Ravs tried to kill Simons duck for no reason other than that's what his "crazy" character would do. Fortunately he got punished for that, but what if he had succeeded? Suddenly a fun character Simon had created would be dead and Simon would have no choice other than go along with it.
I'm still watching, but in that specific situation, Lydia asked for way too much silver for a bribe, which Mark's character literally didn't have the money, so I don't think it was him denying improv, it was a situation that wouldn't work. (He even says in another exchange a couple minutes later that he's "not as rich as used to be")
This is gold, the bonkers world fits the crew so well, can't wait for the next ep!
49:44 this is when we can see the life trying leave Tom's eyes because of the fumble.
+4 hours of content uploaded in one day + the episode on toms original channel. Praise Sigmar
"Why does spiced wine come in a bottle" "Because his wife died"
Congratulations - "Jingly John" is now worse than "shark doo doo doo doo"
Really exited to see mark as a player rather than a DM for once, must be refreshing for him. So far tho, amazing characters
The only actual play I’ve watched through (over and over again) was Yogsquest 4, a Star Wars EOTE campaign run by Tom, I was so excited when I saw this man’s face at the head of the table! Also Simon is endlessly funny, I’m so excited to watch this campaign
Lydia's line at 26:01 was so good. "I have 197 silver. Well actually, _you_ owe my 197 silver and I really need it right now" Its so good, I gotta use that in obe of my games one day.
A man in a Ghost shirt playing Mörk Borg. That's two of the best things from Sweden. RPG:s and Metal Music :)
Oh man the cast choice for this series is fantastic. All people I love, and I'm really curious to see how they all do. This is gonna be a lot of fun isn't it!
I've found my heaven
I really love how everyone really just throws into this all the way, and has fun with it. The table banter and the plays have been great so far.
I thought the Cthulhu sessions were gold but this has managed to take it up another notch. Between this and the Games Night revival what a time to be alive!
I rewatch yogsquest probably every 6months knowing there's going to be a pipeline makes my year
Suggestion: Dolmenwood (it's amazing) (Simon as a Grimalkin would be fantastic) AND / OR Stygian Library OR Gardens of Ynn using 'OSE' AND / OR Deep Carbon Observatory You'll love em!
This is the most fun I have had watching an online TTRPG. Such great interaction and no five minutes deciding what to do with a bonus action. :D
Having all of the disintegrator in one go has already spoiled me. I've always loved the yogs in TTRPGs, and need mooooooore! This channel must be such high effort so super well done and masses of appreciation to everyone involed
The voice combined with the dead eyed stare Ravs does for Cardinal Kettle will haunt my dreams, probably my favorite character in this despite how little he talks
I've found myself doing the 'Jingly John' voice as my default mocking/spoof voice now, thanks Tom. Thom.
OMG that was the funniest series of misadventures I've ever had the pleasure to lend an ear to. My bladder was less pleased as it tried desperately to contain itself. Cheers.
Lovely, just lovely. Nothing beats the madness of a full table of yogs. :)
That Tom character sheet future sight was genuinely impressive.
Holy shit you're actually playing OSR rpgs!? This is a sight to behold. I'm beyond excited.
Simon's voices have me rolling good god
Omg, this is the funniest scenario I've seen in my life... I can't believe this isn't pre-written comedy!
Tom has got to be a sound engineer's worst nightmare.
I used to be salty that games night pivoted to wargaming but now we have mystery quest who cares!
After the bomb incident leading to Colin the Duck having a pre-written character sheet, I will never underestimate Tom's near-precognitive levels of preparedness for RPG shenanigans.
Heard Tom geek out about MORK BORG on a stream once, couldn't be happier to have seen this video title, this is gonna be awesome!
Ah excellent mork Borg, great system
You know it will be a great game wen it takes about 6 mins to get thur the chaos of saying ur characters So hyped
The instant roaring of flames kicking in when Tom decides that "yeah, it's all on fire now too" was gold
I've already binged all the content, and now the empty hole in my chest eagerly awaits the next upload with a deep-set hunger.
"I hope you get excrement in your eye hole" Will live in my head rent free forever
"it was perfect everything down to the last minute details"
You always got that one guy who cant roll with the group
My favorite part of this video is when it came out a day after the channel came out
You guys absolutely demolished this, good to see some Mörk Borg love out here!
That bomb blunder fucking killed me man. Great ab workout.
tom covering his face after the fumble and learning how much damage a bomb does is a feeling every GM has experienced at least once
Just had the tought at 41 mins that the religious Ravs dipped into sewer water with an open wound from ducky taking out his eyes
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you “The Swedish Death Metal of RPGs.” 😂😂😂
Howled with laughter the entire time. Can't wait for the next episode🤣
Holy shit Holy shit this is going to be so fecking good. *This is a comment, for the Angorythm*
Just gosh darn incredible, had me burstin' out laughing like how Bungus bungled and burst from the bomb
This was the most chaotic thing I’ve ever seen and I loved every second of it.
This is the most I've laughed in a long time. Great stuff Tom :)
Holy hell, that nat 1 and then the Collin the Duck intro. Most hilarious thing I've seen in awhile.
More Mork Borg please! Best TTRPG I’ve played in years
Really enjoyed this and actually laughed out loud! Keep up the good work 👏
The one time I played the game, I bit the old, blind man that kept licking the eyeballs in his hand and "worked" for the countess, to death with the creator of the oneshot as our dm
"Mörk Borg" is "Dark Castle" in Swedish BTW.
fantastic episode 1
So the odd thing is, that there is a cardinal duck, but there is also a cardinal bird, so they were all right.
This was fantastic, I'm so glad ya'll roll with the punches so well, in the spirit of the game for sure is the way to go. I'm excited for the next run in MÖRK BORG
Love this so far, one of my new favourite channels 😂😂😂😂😂 All of these characters are hilarious.
Rip in piece, Crunky Bungus.
I laughed so incredibly hard watching this. Thank you so much. I don't think I'll ever get economically conjoined twins out of my mind.
This is amazing. I never knew that this channel is what was missing from my life until I watched this episode. Please never stop making these. Tom you're such an amazing DM and anything with Simon turns to absolute gold, paired with Ravs, Big Lyds and Hulmes just makes this such a good group for an adventure.
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel ever Tom, thank you!
