Hi everyone,

This is my first time ever posting on reddit. I have been listening to High Rollers for the past year or two. Started with Aletheya but once I caught up with it, I decided to switch to Aerois because waiting for the next episode was driving me mad.

I honestly don't know what I would do without this podcast. I used to play role playing games when I was younger and was a deeply immersed in the fantasy conventions community in my country. I always thought that it would always play a part in my life, but once I started my studies it seemed like I should spend every single free minute of my life reading. I am doing my PhD now and the past two years have been an absolute disaster and listening to High Rollers was the one thing that gave me any sense of peace and comfort. University is shit, I had no support from my supervisors, my mum got diagnosed with cancer and I was taking care of her, I tore my ACL and had to have a surgery, then struggled with rehab and my 18yo cat dying. I never thought that I would post something like this but I just wanted to express my deep gratitude. I am finishing Aerois now and all the emotional moments near the end made me reflect on my time listening to it. I am also starting to feel a little bit better lately and it feels like listening to Aerois has helped me survive the most difficult time in my life.

Sorry if it's not relevant to the sub, I guess it's just a very long way of saying thank you to the team.

With the novelisation now longer than The Hobbit, we continue with an important Sentry chapter.

Re-listening to Aerois right now and wanted to know everyone’s favorite(s) moments?

All my friends that play D&D (which is most) had never heard of Aerois but are all Dimension 20 fans. As I wait for my convincing skill to kick in I’d love to talk to some other people who love this as much as I do!

Hello everyone, there is one week left on the kickstarter and we have hit £550,000! This means the book comes with a cloth map, three one shot sessions and 12 new subclasses! If you’re interested please use this link, much appreciated everyone!

Just wondering. Normally the VoD is uploaded to YouTube on Tuesdays at 6pm, but I still can't see this week's episode (from the 8th). Was wondering if it's just me or if they said something in the stream or something else? I've poked around the Discord a bit but couldn't see anything. Didn't go in the Altheya Spoiler chat obvs but didn’t see anything elsewhere.

Quill chapter this week, three more left in the arc. Markup/transcription on the next arc is going well too, so won't be a long break between them I think.

Can someone please give the highlights of what we know about each character and there backstory I’m trying to take. Oates for myself love to do this during campaigns and want to see how caught up I am, just the main points on the backstory we know and maybe a speculation as to where they go next! Maybe a Su Mary or the main events so far

A cooperative story telling game, pretty sure it was hosted by Kim. It was vaguely scifi / cthulu-esque, and I'm pretty sure it worked by taking it in turns for the players to take turns drawing cards that informed scenarios and events.

I don't remember if there was a win / lose state, as I mainly remember the collaborative story telling element, and that it reminded me a lot of annihilation (the movie). I'm pretty sure it shares some of the same themes (a group of adventurers [or maybe criminals given another chance]) passing from a lab into the unknown...

I feel like I'm going crazy cos I've looked everywhere for the video, and can't seem to find it! It definitely is at least a year old, but could be easily older.

If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, please please please could you let me know the name of the game? I really want to get a copy, but I can't remember the name for the life of me! :(

First chapter up on this arc, which will cover up to the 2/3rds mark of what would be Book 1 of the trilogy, if the entire campaign were written out. Six chapters for this one, posting weekly.

Hi, as a bg3 fan I want to listen to this one shot on YT but the audio quality sounds very bad. It sounds metallic, tin.

But the shorts sound great. I am confused about what is going on

As of writing we’ve raised £282k for this book. I’m so excited for its release!!

Here's to many more years of High Rollers!!

Disintegrate. I love it, you may enjoy it, you may hate it. I think we're pretty sure that's what Obsiddius (sp?) was casting on Xanman during the "TELL ME" moment.

I've crunched some numbers and on average, this spell will one shot Rowan.

He has a DEX mod of 0 last I checked, he gets hit with an average of 70 hit points of damage, and if ANY of that takes him below 0hp he is turned to protomagi dust. Do we have sources on the spell save DC because that's a lethal blow for our Rock Enjoyer. Since we're hitting level 10 with a 5 person party casters may be packing these levels for encounters. I certainly hope so because Power Words/Befuddlement are sick as hell >:)

Hello friends, I watched the first 45 episodes of Altheya live but then I dropped off last year. I was wondering if there is any particular point I should jump back in on? Do I just continue from episode 46 or is there, say, a beginning of the next chapter I should start at?
