H Williams: Matt: 'You haven't seen a door mimic before, because I don't hate you that much.' It was at this moment, I realised my DM was an awful individual.

Brad Rigney: As a DM I put my group into a room where all the doors were mimics and only the window was the only real way out, and the players loved the encounter. However my players have a history of jumping in to the belly of the enemies, including that of a black dragon.

McDom023k: When he said that I started to feel bad. Then I remembered I did tell them there was a mimic in the room, the party just assumed it was one of the 30 chests ^_^

Noximus Jamaicanus: "Ya''all motherfuckers need Sarenrae"

Josh Haworth: I finally got a freezeframe where I could read that. Sam is the best kind of player.

Lieke Bes: Sam's eyeroll at 21:15 when he realises Vax and Keyleth are probably going to have one of their emotional talks and Laura grinning at him xD

Simon Walton: I highly doubt that "roused" theory. He has made fun/mocked of Liam's pulling aside peope for little special talks in the past…at least on three ocassions Sam has made fun of it. \n\n And he seems to KINDA do the eyeroll again when Liam/Vax pulls Laura aside at 1:32:16

BiggySn1p3r: Taryon is the best negotiator ever. That store owner is going to be pissed when he finds out all he got was a rotten egg, 2 guards with broken jaws and beer all over them, puke in the front of his store, and he gave away his potions for free.\n\nI have a feeling he is going to be a big bad villain who shows up out of nowhere on the back of a Tarrasque.
