Great episode.

Loved the prospect of trying random potions.
I love Zak's sound effects and voices.
I'm not so sure cutting Satine in half would have worked well, especially after the worm potion wore off. Probably something like this: "The worm potion wears off and Satine promptly dies because someone CUT HER IN HALF!"

Too bad the gnoll it a tree and died, I was looking forward to Zak's impression that playing out.

Lastly, I enjoy the voiceovers at the beginning and end over the music that was not to my taste.

Good episode, I'm glad that Bobbi is holding up, it was a rough first/second adventure for her. Hopefully they get some 'dungeon time' and then get out.

I'm not so sure cutting Satine in half would have worked well, especially after the worm potion wore off. Probably something like this: "The worm potion wears off and Satine promptly dies because someone CUT HER IN HALF!"

While that is a possibility it could have gone something like, "The worm potion wears off and suddenly there are two exact copies of Satine because someone CUT HER IN HALF!", just sayin'.

Great episode though, my favorite parts of the show happen when someone does some random shit like in today's episode just to see what happens.

Fabulouso. I feel the pornstar element of the game ramped up a bit more than usual this week thanks to the "outnumbered 3 to 1" and this not being KK's first time in a dungeon with Bobbi comments. Then there's the mental image of the pair of them trussed up and only wearing metal bikini's, Conan style.

The D&D was strong this week too, what with Satine getting turned in to a worm thanks to Connie's experimentation, then eating and spitting out a gnoll, I'm not surprised the rest of the gnolls freaked out and legged it. I have been wondering why the party's cleric turned tale and ran for it though, this looked like one of those occasions where she'd have been really useful.

Looks like we're going to have a rescue attempt in the next couple of episodes which should be good, will the trapped players try to escape? while the rest of the party get there in time? can their dice rolls suck less this time? Holy gnoll dungeon Bat fans! I don't know about anyone else but I'll certainly tune in again next time to another thrilling episode of "I Hit It With My Axe".

I got turned into a worm once......I got better.

 

[Satine Phoenix]

HAHAHAHA I almost forgot about this part! I loved it. I was SO FREAKED OUT that I was going to be "THAT GUY"... The guy that keeps getting killed oVER AND OVER. I already have horrible luck with rolling dice. Having to make another character isn't much fun. I'm still quite attached to Mirror.

 

[Elijah Newton]

"they would know, they're from Canada."

heh. I'm not going to debate the merits or realism of the idea, I just like that this is the qualifier.

 

[DrTrevelyan]

Man, I know it's been said before, but I have to say again, that Satine Phoenix is the hottest thing to walk on two legs.

 

[ThaBenMan]

Oh man... I thought it was going to be a death sentence for Satine when Connie decided to try a random potion on her (which could well have been poison or something even worse). But it turned out to be really fucking AWESOME when she turned into a GIANT FROST WYRM! Love it!

hehe. You'd kind of be like the Bard character from The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. If you haven't seen it, watch it. You might sympathize with him.

I think I watch this show too much. The second I saw that they edited it I knew where and why it would be trimmed.

And note to self: don't try at home....unless I find a good wattage and a device that doesn't have a heavy variance with a soft touch fuse just in case it does over charge. Where is my current detector?

More importantly, is that d6 damage while inside the worm considered an attack or just being in a hostile environment?

 

[rddj623]

Really cool stuff. Glad to see that the girls didn't get eaten, or killed as of yet. Two captured, three free. We'll see where this goes from here...

Nice!

Another really good episode, I'm really enjoying the great vibes in the room. Everybody grooves off of each other really well. It is making me much happier than the game I'm currently playing in. I want Zak to by my GM!

Anyway, the Trooper6 MVP! Now you'd think it would go to Satine...who was a badass worm...um wyrm! But actually the award goes to Connie! If she hadn't done some experiments on friends, it may have been doom for all involved.

Why is Mandy heading back to Vornheim?

Waitaminnit...how many of our crew are Canadians?

Also, I think Zak and Mandy are dating...just a vibe I'm getting...is that true?

Heh--Zak and Mandy have been dating and living together for over 4 years now.
I had my reasons to "run off" and I wasn't heading to Vornheim--just in that direction to start with. Someone's gotta look out for Mirror's corpse y'know what with the flesh eating Gnolls about.

Man I liked this episode.
And not just because it reminded me of the time my cleric was fed random potions, 2 of which turned out to be 'Longeveity' before a healing one turned up, resulting in me playing the rest of the campaign as a 7 year old half-elf.
Also not because of the humor garnered from the idea of Kimberly's enthusiam describing her 'dungeon costume' and noting it's not the first time she's been in a dungeon with Bobbi.
And not just because of the idea of burying someone in a snowbank as a survival technique being found valid because the proponents are Canadians.

But really all these things and more, particularly Bobbi's accusation of Zak being mean like her brother, and Satine's...unique take on the party's recent foray into dog and dog-like shotputting. This series has become my favorite Wednesday pastime.

Hey all, I just discovered "I Hit It With My Axe" earlier today and blazed thru all 34 episodes in a marathon session... well, with a few breaks in between! I'm seriously loving it - all of you seem to be having a lot of fun, as well as really connecting with your characters and each other... and as any good DM will tell you, that's the heart of the game right there!

I have to be honest: when I first stumbled across the site, I thought it was created as a cheesy way to sell websites/films starring the ladies who were playing in the game. But I was very quickly and happily proved dead wrong. I think the most telling transition happened for me after about episode 10, when I completely forgot that most of the people playing the game were in the adult entertainment industry and I just saw them as happy folks having a fun time playing a great game.

I really have to compliment Zak on his DMing style and communication skills. As a long-time DM myself, I've had a lot of fledgling groups also, and it takes a delicate hand to keep things going smoothly: making sure the newer players are "getting it" and staying on track; keeping the more experienced players from getting bored while the newer folks are guided along; planning encounters that are balanced and challenging but not overwhelming; keeping the energy level up so that everyone is "in the moment"... there's a LOT to juggle.

I also like the "guest star" format, as it gives some fresh insight and a different energy with each personality. Sasha came off as more cerebral and curious, Justine was more energetic and into the storyline, Gia saw it as a "girls night out" type of fantasy party, and so far Bobbi looks like she really wants to jump in with both feet and kick some ass. (And wow, does that woman have some amazing charisma going on!)

Looking forward to many more episodes - great job, all!

Woot! I'm glad to know I still have accureate relationship vibes even through the internet. By the way, I think you two seem like an awesome couple.

Next big mystery: Will Mirror ever get resurrected?!
