Приєднався 25 сер 2014
Dad the Dungeon Master has been a DM for over 10 years, but only found Dungeons & Dragons in his early 20s. He began writing short stories around the same time and the creative spark only grew from there. He began his UA-cam channel @DadtheDungeonMaster in early 2024 with a short story "The Ruby Wizard" being published shortly after. He hopes to inspire others to play D&D and show creatives that dreams can be achieved by dedication and hard work.
As a laborer in a factory, he dedicates precious free time away from his family to create informative and entertaining UA-cam content. His long format videos aim to simplify what can be complicated campaign module material in the hopes of aiding Dungeon Masters in more efficiently running their campaigns, while his shorts are aimed at capturing the culture of the game.

Great recap! This is getting intense, cant wait to see how it ends. Love the joes dragon borne arch. Krrp it up bud!
@mandalors3378 Thanks man! I really appreciate it!
It seems the Nat one has overridden every other thing he thinks he’s hidden
Excited. Just did session zero. Your advice has paid off well so far, and i am certain it will in future. I have also watched some of your DMing tips videos. Very handy. I have tried to watch other channels and i am sure they are good in some technical way, but you reach me on a different level. Im a hyper veteran player, i have played many systems but I am also very new to DMing. From my perspective I feel like you speak to that part of me, the player who just wants to make it great for other players. Which is probably what all good DMs are. Not sure, but it sounds right. Thank you for your inspiration! I hope you keep making content 😊
@@chellybub Thank you so much! That is incredibly kind of you. I'm very glad to be able to help. And you are right, DMing is a gift, carved with love, that we give to our players. I'm sure you'll do great! I look forward to hearing some stories from your game!!!
Guys I think he’s hidden
This guide has been amazing! I really like the flow to the missions you suggest, i was feeling a little overwhelmed when reading ch 2 and 3. Thank you for posting this! One question, doing cragmaw before the other side quests, what reward or info did you have the druid give the players for taking care of the dragon?
@@icard92 Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying it. I just had her tell them that while she couldn't offer them anything other than a place to rest, the dragon's hoard, while modest for a dragon, would be plenty of riches to justify the effort.
Excellent video! Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!!!
Nat 1 is nat 1 doesn't matter if you have other abilities
@philliprainer hard to believe, but rules as written, nat ones are not automatic fails on skill checks in fifth edition
Yeah I hate when dms make nat ones auto fails, someone who has perfected their trade having a 5 percent chance at failing the simplest tasks makes no sense, raw all the way
I get modifiers not being put into account when a Nat 1 is rolled, but a class feat is a class feat. And it clearly states that you can't roll below a 10 on proficient ability checks. I think it would be a bit too mean as a DM to negate a characters class feat. It's a Rogue ability for a reason, they have to be sneaky and shit ya know.
It depends on the dm not all dms use nat ones as auto fails
@@emeralds8569 Sure, but if your going to not use 1s as fails don't use 20s as succeeds. They go hand in hand.
I have the same bag
Good shit. xD good reasons i dont play D&D
Did he try to hide when there was nothing to hide behind? Cause that's what it sounds like...
@@AtomicF640 he seems like the kind of guy that would try that bull crap lol
Hahahahaha
Youre a man of many talents!!! Remember that the number of UA-cam viewers aren't a measure of your artistic mastery. The best measure is the quality of the experiences you bring to others in your life.
@@jed3544 I really appreciate that!
🤣
And i was already planning on having them need the approval of several pit bosses, that was a good idea. But I know my groups will want to take on Tiamat lol. I might have them take on Windfall and an avatar of Tiamat to see how they do.
That sounds awesome! Make sure to let me know how it goes!!!
Thanks for this guide! Both my groups are about to enter this chapter so the timing is perfect! I really enjoy your thoughts and ideas.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Avernus as a former paradise. I'm not at all sure I can accept that. I'm rather fond of Ed Greenwood's version. It's not really key to the adventure, though. I would come up with a more diabolic name for the place. "Belvedere" sounds like a place for tea and crumpets. Given that the starting exchange rate of talons to soul coins is 300 to 1, and the hell machine had sixty charges, plus its inherent value, I would think the players could sell it and bribe their way to the office door. Of course, riding in on the hell machine could cause all sorts of the wrong questions. Mortals almost certainly aren't supposed to be in possession of one. Any players would have to be insane to want to meet my version of Tiamat. "Of course you may have the Hand of Vecna. I'll just need you to do me a favor later on."
@@TheOtherSteel yeah, the paradise thing was a hard thing to swallow. Those are all great ideas! They wanted to keep the vehicle to get back to the portal.
Been loving your guides for this campaign. Helps me a ton.
@@matiaswillison7719 Thank you! I'm really glad to help
good video!
@@CharlieDouglas Thank you!
They are also one of the few creatures that are vulnerable to piercing damage. though only from good aligned creatures specifically. I only know that because I needed a creature that was weak to piercing for a puzzle.
@@DBfan106 nice tidbit!
I've started a campaign in Sigil with Vecna as the stated big bad, I gave the olayers the "Glitch" mechanic from the Turn of Fortunes Wheel so that even if they die they come back. When Eve of Ruin came out I was disappointed with the secret mechanic, I decided it'd be much more interesting to flip it on its head. In my game Vecna is trying to create a convergence, and he's basically announced it in Sigil- HOWEVER nobody knows what that means or what it will do, it's a *secret* one that's so big it's spreading across the Planes, and the more people know the secret exists, but do not know the secret, the more it empowers Vecna. I've also made his cult almost omnipresent. They saw it in Sigil, they left to Spelljammer, and are seeing cultists of Vecna attacking the Temple of Ptah on Bral.
@@TiberiusTheDM that sounds awesome!
Wait, what program did you use for this? It's so cool
@danielalejandrorodriguezot3259 so for the video, I used app.ltx.studio, and for the music, I used songgenerator.io. I was very happy with the functionality of both
@DadtheDungeonMaster thank you!
Okay…that was pretty cool
Question - How did you deal with The party acquiring the sword of Kas since one the players is Kas? Could the Kas player use the sword as if it was his own?
@matiaswillison7719 The player that is secretly Kas played it cool and acted like he didn't care who worked the sword. The rest of the party doesn't know yet that he's Kas, but we have discussed him revealing himself to the party and trying to talk them into working with him to defeat Vecna. He obviously won't tell them that he wants to take Vecna's place, and he will still betray them and take the rod once it is finished. We haven't completely decided yet though.
The oldest trick in the book!
dude I am getting my nephew with this hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
I assume they are doing a hard mode dnd as RAW is "Roll four 6-sided dice and record the total of the highest three dice" linked this cuz a few people were asking
@@daleklamert8865 Actually, RAW is 3d6, House Rules (Homebrew) is 4d6. If you want to play AL, you use 3d6, according to the DMG.
My Table always does 4 and drops the lowest. I even let them reroll 1s.
This is the way
DM humor at its finest.
It's one thing to kill a player with one failed save, but only rolling 3d6 for stats? Criminal!
You don’t roll 4 and drop the lowest?
Each table has different rules
@@just_echoanau it was a question for a reason-rolling 3d6 straight up is really brutal and leads to some characters with really poor stats sometimes
The fuckin crash bit when he realizes got me rollin
Around more experienced tables it's typically, "Alright I need you to roll 3d6." "Beans."
I find it funny that he says "five thats not so bad" and then they are character stats 😂
Thanks for doing these videos DDM. I'm preparing to run this starting in the fall and doing pregame research. Truly appreciate it!
@@bryantursk7637 Thankful that I can be helpful. Thanks for the feedback!!!
Kenku. Kenku forever!
@@TheOtherSteel ah, the cursed ravens.
@DadtheDungeonMaster Hawks! Kenku are hawks! The only valid art is from the AD&D 1e Fiend Folio. </little dog growling>
@@TheOtherSteel alright steel, let's have it. How old are you?
@DadtheDungeonMaster Fifty-five. 😇 I'm a dinosaur. I'll go eat some ferns with the other duckbills.
@TheOtherSteel lol, I had a feeling. I've got a buddy that let me borrow and read through his original dragon lance stuff. It was amazing! There was a lot of good content back in the day.
That was actually so sick!!
@@alexsharek7645 Thank you!
By the way, although it's not going to have a very big impact on the number of visualizations, I would add "Gibbet Crossing" to the title and also to the description. If someone really looks for advice for Gibbet Crossing, they would be more than happy to find this video 😉 I know they will probably look for "Phandelver and Below", but just in case.
This series of walkthroughs for PABTSO is pure gold 👌 Really worth having many more visualizations. I am now finishing the campaign with my group (already near the end of the last chapter), and I wish I've had all this advice beforehand. Keep on the good work 💪
Thanks for the feedback. It really means a lot to me!
This is awesome! 🤩
@@StormySkeyesCreative Thanks!
Now you know how Constantine feels.
I went into the game completely blind too, frankly I was shocked by how much I had actually missed my first play through.
@@martinmarvinii3139 I know!!!
Is that a JOJO'S reference .rohan kishibe
Lord of the Rings Sauron he shouldn't be involved throughout the campaign in my opinion it's better to see Whispers of him and the results of him pulling the strings
@@Amyas80s Totally true, this campaign doesn't even have that. The whole thing is totally separate from Vecna until the very end, unless you adjust it. Changing it so that he's the one pulling the strings is a perfect solution.
That is so helpful ! Thank you !
@sbn.4608 You're very welcome! Thank you for the feedback!
I've been watching this series for the past couple days, getting excited to run Phandelver and Below. I didn't realize you weren't done however. I guess I have to wait for the next video. Great work this far 👍
@KingofCanada22 Thanks man!!! I'll keep them coming!
Back in the day on playstation 3 we had this thing called playstation home. Was a social game. I ended up spending around 1k on it for houses, clothes etc
