TheUrbanGoose

When you publish your next supplement will it also be based upon a campaign of yours and why is it Icebound? (Icebound is the best, absolutely amazing work Derek)

Dice Queen Kululu

I hope you are all staying warm. What are your favorite things to do when it's cold out and you don't have to leave home. I like to drink hot coco and read or write.

Misstrickster

Would you rather try to survive Drakkar or try to survive Borovia?

pomegranate_poser

WFRP: Does Jasper only see his relations as resources to the point he would turn balto in to a witchhunter if the situation called for it to save his own skin or for the coin?

Jam

Andy (and Nikkie if she’s in attendance)! As a former theater kid, did you have dream roles? What’s your favorite production you worked on?

Ghostinshiningarmour

Has Queenie been wearing shorts this whole time?!?!? How did I not notice 😭

crystal_knyght

If your character could make a change to their appearance (through magical means or otherwise) what would that change be?

Lunar

Is there an au you would want to see the icebound crew in?

Nedarb

Derek is where the campaign is currently what you expected and have the parties decisions made a huge impact on where it is or could be

TheUrbanGoose

Would you consider playing everyone is John again sometime, was recently watching through your older videos and that was hilarious, poor John.

CEOTHEFALCON

Can we just talk about how there's only one episode left of beneath dark wings, after a year and a half of catching up on so many campaigns I cannot wait to see caprece lose his virginity after 40 episodes 😂😂

Eliza

Do any of y'all have a favorite Shakespeare play and/or character? Which one and why?

Reader_of_Runes

Derek, how has Icebound evolved and changed since it began? What surprised you that wasn’t originally planned?

Jacky_alltrades

Did Lethera the Proud have any unusual features (other than being a green dragon)?

AuraofOra

Where should I go to find shipping information if I wanted to send gifts to y'all? And on a totally unrelated side question, what's your favorite size for zip-up jackets?

FreyjdEdge

Derek did you come up with all of Quibly's pet names for Portia in the spot and which was your favorite? I've been trying to get my husband to call me his Cozy Enigma for weeks

Lord & Lady Deathstrike

I found it in the about section on Twitch 😊Hopefully it is still accurate 🤞

UnicornTownGoingDown

Heyo crew! Excited for another stream! If you wouldn't mind reading out every nat roll you make so I can record it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Derek: 2/5 (40%) Mace: 2/12 (~17%) Mikey: 1/7 (~14%) Nikkie: 0/0 Andy: 0/6 Richie: 0/7 Link to spreadsheet of all rolls in wiki channel of Discord.

Catherine Grzywa

I’ve downloaded the Conspiracy Mouse and can’t wait to have her pop up in TCM campaign I’m GMing! Where (& or how) would you have a party come across this familiar? Any other initial encounter ideas for the dimwood familiars in Druskenvald? (Also for context the party has just taken out The Crimson Abbott)

Pidge Platinum

Not really a question, but I wanted you guys to know that I used your ‘A Folk in the Road’ one-shot module to successfully run a one-shot for the very first time as a DM last December. 💜 Thanx guys for the chance to run it for my group.

Eve

Question for the whole group. I'm trying to expand my library so I can gain some inspiration for my future campaigns. Do you guys have any specific book recommendations?

Mc_Whitty

Would you all ever consider doing a one shot with all your more serious but still slightly goofy characters ( like tishen with frost and vandrys)?

FreyjdEdge

Did the guys mean to match shirts today?

Linguist

How do you guys decide where everyone sits at the table for the different campaigns?

beccasocks

What is everyone's all-time favorite comfort food?

MaDoRoMi

Finished CoS(was really good) and I started Beneath Dark Wings and I have a question for Richie: if you shaved right now would you immediately start looking like a bright eyed boy again?

hi hi! who hosts the campaigns? and what are your recommendations for a group who wants to start streaming? we mostly want to start for ourselves/remembering good moments but it would be cool to have viewers haha!!! love you guys !! 🫶

Fruity_Historian

Just finished Shroud over Saltmarsh - absolutely loved it btw! How would each of the SOS characters would do in Icebound-like climates?

Misstrickster

Derek, Nikkie and Andy, have you seen the new game Quarantine zone. It is like papers please and super fun. I think it's only single player but it would be fun for a game night.

Jacky_alltrades

When will Shroud over Saltmarsh return? (if you can tell us, please!)

Cobalt Bluewaters

If you could rename one common object/thing, what is it and what would you call it?

Smalls

Hi there! I was curious what campaign has the most canon Avantris lore? I'm watching Shroud Over Saltmarsh and there is a lot of references to Beneath Dark Wings and Prime so it would be cool to put all the lore together. Thank you for the stream <3

vibeveg

would you rather be immortal or invincible?

ineptMagikarp

Derek! I'm going to try to run a short campaign with the Herald of Fear as a villain. Do you have any quick tips on finding the sweet spot of instilling legitimate fear without outright curb-stomping them?

FreyjdEdge

What is your favorite misunderstanding of words (besides ocelot) ? My sister misheard th word comeuppance as "cummuffins" and sexual innuendo as "in your window"

Voluntary Bubblehead

If you could fuse any of your pc's together and play as the fusion, who would you pick?

Rhi

Hey y’all!! So excited icebound is back! What’s a good way to introduce your friends to d&d?? I’ve been wanting to try, but don’t wanna overwhelm them

leperdpaw L.

I was knee deep in BDW and now I'm here lol

Shadowofthemist104

If the icebound cast was to fight each other, who would win? Secondly, if all of your characters were to fight, who would win?

After all of the tales you’ve had showing the dangers of them, if given the chance would you make a deal with the hag in the hut in the woods?

Lizzieannc16

Watching to see y'all play live but I'm not caught up on Icebound so it's all spoilers lol. But wanted to ask what is your favorite character/campaign ever?

MossBrick

How do you guess handle your daily schedule when streaming so long into the night. Yall are basically a 3rd shift crew. I dont think i could handle it. Yall super humans

Ace Hudson

I just want to say the scream I scrumpt when derek called nikkie to the table was so disruptive my mom came in to check if I was ok 💙💙💙 so happy nikkie is back to be queenie!!!!!!!

Reader_of_Runes

Am currently watching Saltmarsh for the first time and I am loving it it has such an amazing theme and characters. Any plans on continuing soon?

Have you ever read the Eragon series? If so are you excited for the tv series that is being made?

Fans

Do you guys have any recommendations for oneshot campaigns that are good for dnd beginners? I've never dmed before but i really want to run a campaign for my friends when we all meet up later this year!

Tastydoomtime

If you could constantly radiate an AoE effect what would it be? (It can be turned off and on)Ex: a pleasant smell, or a healing effect that effects both people and objects

Joules

If you could play a different character or even the entire cast from another campaign in the setting of icebound, which would it be and why is it stardust?

Rw_candle

I don't know how Taishen is still alive, I think he's failed every save he's ever had. On that note do you have any ways on handling players rejoining after a character death?

Ace Hudson

This one's for Mace: are ants animals?

Final Frostasy

Any kenichi readers in avantris excited for the sequel?

Bookfairymel

Hey so why do you guys think it’s okay to make me sob two days in one week?

-

I rewatched COS 21 before this episode because I thought nothing in this ep could hurt me that much. Thanks for proving me wrong. But for real, thank you for this amazing RP!

Free

Do you have any advice for dm-ing digitally? I’m dm-ing the crooked moon for my group online next month and both excited and nervous!

NeoBoy

I have a question for Derek and Nikki: What the fuck

Goomba Sushi

Could skrimm have used graveyard jack to foil the princess’s plans

Lucky Short

Whats the best how to train your dragon film?

Drayka the Dragon

Hey Derek, knowing now how this episode is breaking everyone's heart. how hard was it to keep quiet through so many delays?

Anna Killingbeck

Anyone who thinks D&D isn't peak storytelling needs to watch this episode. Masterful job everyone, I'm deep in the feels right now. True art 💕

hypno clops

I just joined and im already crying

Bookfairymel

I can only take so much crying in one week!

Clorique

so… what now?

Bookfairymel

I’m on episode 9 of curse of stradhanya! What’s something I won’t understand until the end?👀

Cardboard_Clementine

I have been waiting SO LONG FOR HONEY TO COME BACK JUST TO RIP MY HEART OUT IN 1 HOUR. my question is How could you (to Nikki and Derek)

Greg Moore

Most impactful speech?

Lunar

Are there any other DND channels ( campaigns you watched) that you would want to be apart of / explore their world? ( Dimension 20 critical role etc)

97piecesof8

If two of your PCs could meet, which two and why?

Voluntary Bubblehead

Is the return of Twig and the loss of Queenie the law of equivalent exchange?

Rambles

Not a question but I appreciate the boys being willing and not ashamed to cry on camera.

beccasocks

What's your favorite ice cream flavor to grieve with after an episode of Icebound?

Cardboard_Clementine

Thank you Mikey for knowing what I meant. Bonus, my brother got a new dog and I suggested honey because of this campaign and that's what they picked :)

Elle Chappell

Hey y’all! I’m currently working my way through witchlight. What campaign would be a good companion one to listen to while also listening to witchlight?

hypno clops

Who do you think will pass next?

T.R. e'Frogue

If you could get a top level prosthetic/sci-fi implant to aid or replacement a limb/organ, which would you pick?

Kalias Sondrie

I have been going through Beneath Dark Wings and I have one episode left and I'm truly enjoying it. I think that Toa might be my favorite of Richie's characters and Iris my favorite Nikkie character. My question is, can you please do the finale like right after I listen to the final episode on YouTube so I'm not waiting in agony like everyone else who has also been waiting patiently? (Pretty please Mikey - if you do I'll show you around the Rainforest Cafe in Phoenix)

TheRandomChild

We tease but we love you all! You're amazing in your range and puttiong all your heart into these scenes even though (I'm guessing) It could be harder for you all to play than us to watch <3 I know I've said it before but thank you for being you

Joules

My mom's been watching you guys with me and was flabbergasted by your emotional responses to Queenie's death, not being a theater kid like the rest of us. Can you think of other times you guys have cried playing DND?

Joules

y'all answered this just as I sent this

Joules

Do you guys have any wine recommendations? Do you prefer white, red, fruity, dry?

Fancy Frogmouth

Which realm within the realm of Kaldheim do you think your Icebound characters would be most likely to die in? Sorry the MtG brainrot wnd the Avantris brainrot are quite entangled.

Joules

Do y'all have any favourite winter memories you'd like to share with us? Did any inspire anything in Icebound?

Michael Morgan

Mainly a question for Mikey, is there anywhere you have a breakdown of your demons and fiends (specifically like Raum)? Wanted to potentially use him in my crooked moon run to offer a dark bargain and I want to know my entity

MaDoRoMi

Don't know if he'll see this, but Mace I want to let you know that you never miss whenever you play Taishen. That speech to Barnabos was beautiful.

Sean

Honestly Derek. Could you please tell us the DC for the remove curse scroll 😁

Looneylounna

For everyone What would be your character favorite flower?

Slowbleed

Even though the ancient silver dragon brothers got B-slapped to pieces, are they down there gathering themselves back together ??

GhostSpectr7

Have you ever read the Eragon series? If so are you excited for the tv series that is being made?

NeoBoy

Not a question but let’s acknowledge how badass nikkie was this session: shows up, rolls nat 20, leaves

Vasilios Zanakis

What is the highest level character you guys have played in D&D?

Kendra.saurus

Is there a NPC from any campaign that you'd die for in game?

InvertedRain

In Shroud over Saltmarsh session 0, Andy said Kaiyo has a lot more inspiration from Luffy than Tanjiro, what parts of Luffy did you implement into Kaiyo?

SinkofDragonSoup

So is nikkie just back on the stairs listening?

InvertedRain

Can a monthly movie night be watching of the first episode of the One Piece live action for season 2?

Nebula Maker

Can you guys put new batteries in the fire alarm please?

SassMasterJM

Became a patron because of this episode, y'all've broken my heart. I know most PC deaths are planned; but if you could go back and reframe/redo any of them, would you?

Cobalt Bluewaters

What happened to the 2 other shadow dogs that the princess stole from the shadow veil cabal? Did she still have them, did they get freed or did Skrimm find them?

FreeHugs

Were Philip and adella inspired by Nick and Nora from The Thin Man and following movies?

Death_and_Time

I see Richie wearing a PirateBorg shirt have yall considered running something grimdark like MorkBorg (same creators and such a fun one shot)

Lizzieannc16

Don’t roll a…. You don’t say the roll Derek the rpg gods grant the DM wishes 🤣🤣🤣

Jacky_alltrades

Did the tribespeople lose their cold resistance? That they got when they were linked to the Princess?

Jacky_alltrades

Can someone please take those dice off of Richie? For everyone's sake

Lizzieannc16

How do y’all prep to get in the mind space for each character? How do you keep from getting them mixed together?

Lizzieannc16

Ive just started stardust rapsody but tonight's episode of Icebound makes me want to temporarily abandon that to start icebound 🤣🤣

Icy DragonFruit

Are you guys gonna fight 100 gorillas next month?

Looneylounna

Thank you, Nikkie for Playing Queenie, give her a sweet somber end to her story l will miss you here in icebound, see you in Stardust Rhapsody Anthem Much love to all

Regulation Enjoyer

Can we start a petition for Richie to get new dice for next session?

Jacky_alltrades

did the rage-affected goliaths shrink back when they died? or did they stay big? (and was this process at all similar to become a herald for other... beings?)

Blue Husky 2001

If you could have any fantasy creatures or beast as a familiar what would you choose?

UnicornTownGoingDown

2026 NAT 20 ROLL UPDATES Icebound is brutal in terms of the sheer number of rolls and I gave up tracking it live around the 4 hour 33 minute mark, so no updated total rolls until I can go through stream again with a fine-toothed comb. BUT! I still got some fun stats. -Despite how the end of the stream went, Richie actually rolled insanely well! About a 30% Nat 20 roll rate! -There's no beating Nikkie, though- she has a 100% Nat 20 roll rate for 2026!!!! -Mace has rolled the first Nat 1 of 2026, everyone give our resident lucky Irishman a round of applause! -Mikey has also added another 2 Nat 20s to his score. Stay tuned for updated stats at... some point? :)

Jacky_alltrades

With the changeover to Avantris and Chill - could you pin a link to the *patreon post* in the twitch chat? (so it's easy for patrons to swap streams, but people who aren't patrons can't see the post)

TheRandomChild

2 questions, How long have you been planning this and Where do you get the audacity! #thelionthewitchesandtheaudacityofthesebitches In all seriousness, thank you for an amazing session. Definitely worth the wait ❤️

Blue11

Update on the icy driveway saga?

Reader_of_Runes

Nikkie did you know that you were going to die coming into this session?

OpalEye 42

Nikkie, why did you step away from Icebound? Apologies if you have addressed this before

Lizzieannc16

Question for nikkie from one smut lover to another what's your favorite smut book/series/author?

StarlightCryptid

Mace do you think DMing Stardust Rhapsody improved your character development skills? Because witnessing you try to snap Barnabous out of his thousand mile stare seemed practically scripted in the best way possible.

Vasilios Zanakis

Would you guys ever consider making a campaign in which there is more of an open world setting? In the sense that the players choose where they want to go rather than there being a dedicated storyline?

GeodeKumo

Mace, is there any actual plan to do a Voltron or otherwise mech suit pilot campaign? Because I think you would do a FANTASTIC job running it. And I'd LOVE to see the characters the rest of you all come up with!
