Reacting to the first ever campaign I wrote
Thanks for the delivery, hero....I really needed this for my plans.
My players have caught on to the fact that I will casually slip in foreshadowing in the discord server under the guise of random silly conversation.
I dont know how or why but combat rolls and Arcana checks are the only things i feel safe on rolling. Insight check with divination wizard, lucky feat, bountiful luck, and the Halfling Lucky race feature will net me like a 13 at best lol
Apocalypse Now reference was great
Took me a loop before I realized you've got a character named Pim shrinking things. Bro's Antman.
for being 6'2 zachs arms are fucking jacked (source: im 6'2 and have been trying to bulk for 5 months)
Considering how many groups only ever meet a handful of times before it breaks up, i very much appreciate levelling up each session.
30:48 WKUK mention ❤
It would be really nice if the friends of the casual dude that takes a long time in combat would make a few notecard cheat sheets to have in front of him as reminders of how sneak attack or whatever works in the game. I really love the way Zack reacted to this and I agree that jaut because this dude isnt a sweatlord for DnD, it doesnt make him a bad person
I still play the EXP system because I feel like if you go 2-3 sessions with no after game report, you don't feel too accomplished and your goal for leveling up is still miles away. But if you have a physical tracker when it's about to happen, you can mentally prepare for what you're gonna do or be able to be ready for it so you can hammer it out. I had player who was like 200xp away from level, we knock out a few baddies, she leveled up mid game but because she knew what she was after, her level up was like 10 minutes and did it while we were playing because it didn't interrupt anything. If you do milestone leveling, they sit there and wonder when that level up is happening, waiting to hear you say it and yeah it's a cool surprise when you do but... in the meantime it feels like no progress is happening to that goal
When that cute girl joins your group and you’re not sure how to act. So you just play Birds tribal or whatever
“Coffee and pastries the one thing you yearn for… other than, like, your family, I guess” lmao
Found you on tik tok and am starting to binge all your content. I recently starting DMing for my partner and all your stuff gives me so many ideas and inspiration
“Nessum dorma” from Puccini’s Turandot
Milestone is way better than xp based
The amount of eye contact that has been made in this video with the camera is uncannily nice.
Just flip the bag of holding inside out, dont need halftrack the destroyer. Just a bunch of rocks and shards of glass.
1. I agree that stunned should never be used on a player! However for a player? Go for it! Stunned my bugbear or beholder or whatever 2. I think xp has its place, such as in a dungeon crawl style game or a west march’s game, but any regular style home game? Naw milestones all the way 3. I don’t really mind a dm NPC (not a dm pc) where there character has a full character sheet and assists the players but never makes and big decisions and always appears less then the players, Matt colville has a great video on this where he talks about his dm NPC being portrayed without confidence and when asked what to do he simply says “idk I just heal people and try not to die” kinda thing, I think that’s nice because you can then fill a simple roll without forcing the party to have to pick a certain class because there scared of being weak without a healer or tank
I was not ready for the opening shot of Apocalypse Now in my silly DnD short. lmao
wait...είσαι Έλληνας;
When I heard points in charisma I immediately thought "Could be D&D or Fallout, either way is cool"
Cinematic masterpiece and it was cause he was pissed off
Ernest Scared Stupid was a hidden memory unlocked
Dang. I’m writing that idea down.
"All I gotta do is open this bag!" The king: "WHAT?!"
I wait at least 5 sessions irl before I ask about leveling up. Unless we fight a judge fight with lots of threats. My group doesn't do XP we do milestone, so my dm does it after story stuff.
Heres me who watched mostly roleplay campaigns when i was growing into dnd and uh idk where i was going with this but i have a character whos a gnoll chef gnolls being cannibals makes it really fun
My friend sent me this not knowing that another player in the party was a changeling... XD
Dude looks like he's constantly on the verge of tears
Sending this for the goon platoon snack fund. Please keep doing these man. Usually im not a big fan of podcasts at all but i cant stop watching these keep it up man!
Yeah? Saigon these NUTS
xp is just not a good system for D&D. Just let your players level up when it feels narratologically appropriate and satisfying. Works much better for RP heavy groups as well and you might actually see some play above lvl 10 without having to play the same campaign for literal years.
A DnD player's version of being blue balled.
If you ever need proof that 5e is Sci fi, you need only look at what they did to Artificer.
Hey! You DON'T need with the gnome!
Holy shit, I thought I was the only one who cared about the Arby's on Hollywood closing. I remember going there like a month ago for some of those seasoned fries and was crying on the inside.
The beginning of this skit is WORD by WORD how Deborah Ann Woll explained D&D to Jon Bernthal in their interview
The way you laugh when telling jokes and repeating the jokes with minor changes reminds me of Sam Hyde so much it's unreal lol
everyone knows being unable to do cool stuff is uncool my level 5 spells arent included at lv1
And that's how you know the campaign isn't actually over. There's a whole new series of story arcs planned by the DM. 😂
it sucks such a skilled actor is trapped on tiktok
The worst is when DMs have OCs.
You need to get to know the spectator. I DM at the local store and some people are very shy and the more they play the more they open up. I have one player who comes every week she barely follows the story, for her this is a time to get out with people, three years ago her husband died in an accident and this is her one day she joins other people.
What does saigon have to do with this video xd
i want a complete campaign about bily and Cletus.
I love to win DnD. I have to remind people how to win all the time when I play.
Oddly enough as a dm of nearly 20 years I have never sent my players to hell when they died. Highjacked to the astral sea or the fae realm yeah but never a tpk to hell. I might be too nice to my party.
halo music misused
Okay what the hell I was not expecting that sun lock in expression.
I called the guidance line before it was said. Coworkers bugged me to join for months and I finally went. I stopped after a few months as it alright but they drank and other stuff and that wasn't for me so being the only guy not drinking/smoking/vaping kinda killed most of it
