Imagine being in the D&D Club because you’re on the spectrum or have social communication issues, and within a few weeks have enough confidence to sass and tell off the school gym teacher bully.
That club was an absolute success.
"Like in swimming you have a winner" Yeah, _if_ you're racing. Did this guy never go to the pool just to enjoy being in the water? It's a whole different environment from what we're used to, and you can interact with it in cool ways that can make you feel powerful. No need for competition.
Which I think he was referencing why else would he say it? Hell every competitive water sport has a winner.
We actually just started a work DnD group. We've only met twice so far. The first time we just made our characters, and it was pretty rough as only 1 of us had any actual experience with the game. I've watch a lot of UA-cam videos, so I tried to take charge. I frequent our local gaming store to play MTG, and the owner suggested we could hire his son who DMs all the time. Work agreed and we had him over for the second session. It was a blast and we all had a lot of fun. We only get to meet once a month, but work is willing to pay for anything we need; books, dice, even whiteboards, whatever. It really is a great team building exercise.
The hell do you work?
Y’all hiring?
Good luck sounds cool
Honestly? At that age, imagination play is still super important for development and can help them come up with collaboration skills in later life. Heck, it can function more effectively for older life as it doesn’t require physical based cooperation but mental cooperation. Both sports and imagination play are good for social cooperation skills, but physical cooperation is often less important for higher paid jobs than mental cooperation skills.
DH: you whippersnappers should be...
Everyone else in unison: Ok boomer
"Have you completed Basketball?" Beautiful.
I've never played dnd before, but I love videos like this where dnd stories are told. Honestly I'd play it given the chance
These are both really cool stories! I love the idea of having an official d&d club at school, and the way it helps the kids on the spectrum is great. Sports are super valuable but I have learned that dnd has a lot of benefits too.
Running a session with coworkers would definitely take guts so good on that person to make it happen.
Funny coincidence, but the DH in the video animation resembles one of my old PE teachers in high school, down to the tall stature, the fit build, even the mustache.
Kinda feel bad for the sports guy in the first half. Some people legitimately have trouble understanding things like DnD or video games. They're just wired to pick up one specific thing and not deviate from it too much. It's usually something that is consistent as well having a predictable outcome, like get ball to goal get points, most points win or red wire has electricity in it, green wire goes to the ground, connect red wire to outlet, green to base.
Nothing wrong with someone being grounded in simple ways either. Sometimes you need someone who sees things in black and white when you're drowning in colors.
Success by the old tried and true “Toss the halfling” bit 😂
I honestly wish I had a D&D club back in my school. I'm differently abled with a series of mental issues like autism, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and OCD, and I was bullied a lot while also suffering from a lack of confidence. I really needed a boost in confidence that I could enjoy, but almost all the clubs and activities in my school were physically focused. I've always sucked at and hated sports, and I was just so done with being forced to join all kinds of physical activities from dance to gymnastics and cheerleading because my mom wanted me to stay active. I did join art club and theater as a stage hand after I finally got fed up with all the sports and put my foot down against my mom, making it clear to her that I HATED all the things she made me do because she was too overprotective of me and wanted me to stay active while also taking me away from the things I actually loved like drawing, reading, writing, and all kinds of nerdy stuff. Had my school had a D&D club, and someone had the curtesy to let it be known enough for me to actually hear about its existence, I would have defiantly joined. True, I probably would have been bullied even more, but I would have had a better chance at developing my confidence and social skills while also practicing math, a subject in school I, unfortunately, have always struggled with.
The fact that some gym teacher or whatever thought that it'd be a great idea to come to the place they were hosting the D&D game to recruit kids into playing sports over D&D really baffles me. I mean, seriously? How stupid do you have to be to think you'd find kids interested in sports by going to the library where they are hosting a D&D game and think they'd choose sports over something that actually interested them? And he deemed the kids who weren't immediately playing D&D as "the cool kids" is just pathetic. In my opinion, the gym teacher must have skipped working the muscles in his brain to try and pull something like that. Something I think would be PERFECT was if the DM included a villain based on the gym teacher just to poke fun at the gym teacher who his actions. Maybe make him a slaver who forces his captives to fight for their lives in death matches in underground fights? I dunno. Just spit balling here. Might be fun for the party to overcome a villain based on someone who tried to ruin their interest and make them do something they didn't want to do. That'd be a win in my book.
This DH doesn't realize how many athletes and sports personalities play DND today that's the thing it's not uncool or nerdy any more
Exactly, Big Show plays D&D
Not good dnd hot woke
@@MrGrimjaw Sir, is English not your first language? Because you strung together five words, but completely failed to create a meaningful message.
Yeah. They do it in order to take a break from all the physical activity, and to help their mental state.
@@Keiji555 Plus it can be a team builder or get-to-know your teammates activity.
I liked these better than the workplace d&d horror stories that were making their rounds in the Den of the Drake/Crows Perch/Critcrab circles the other month
Don’t ya love bosses like that? Seriously don’t mess with people’s hobbies.
My kids are athletes, my daughter is a track star and my son is a swimmer. They both also love D&D. DH clearly didn’t get it lol
To DH: “have you ever used your imagination”
DH: “is that new shape of Hockey stick?”
9:37 FOR THE KIDS, it's Entrapment, but Ocean's 12 also had a dance-like laser scene.
Thank you!
A while back I worked at a place that had an annual team building event where everyone from multiple offices came together drink a lot and play team sports. Being an indoor kid after a few years I was very tired of the sports or watching sports as my only entertainment at the event. So I put together a one shot. I figured I'd get a two or three folks to come play and we could pass a few hours killing goblins instead of watching I think it was hockey. I set it up and invited the spectators to play, no experience required, all welcome. The expected three people almost instantly became 8 people, using all my premade characters, over the course of the game 3 or 4 others just came and spectated. Luckily two of the players actually played dnd so they helped all the new people. And we had a blast. We needed up being rowdier then the sports fans in the same space and every one left with a smile. Though it didn't happen in my office I also heard some of the other started a regular work dnd group after the event. I left that job a few years back, but I hope that my dnd one shot left an impression long after the fact.
I worked at a psychiatric group home for boys ages 6-17! A counselor and I got the kids into dnd, wow was it an experience!
“How do you know who the winner is? Like in swimming?” Every team-based sport: am I a joke to you?
I'll take things that didn't happen for 200
2nd story: sounds like you ran a great game. Good job!
Reminds me of when my dad tried to get me to stop watching a cartoon. "Those people look like they are going down a stairs." "Yeah, those people are walking down some stairs."
I have an afterschool game.
Half the kids playing also play football.... (You have no idea how happy that makes me.)
I ran A Wild Sheep Chase (5e) by Winghorn Press for my work group. (It's my favorite intro to 5e DnD one-shot) Only a couple of them had ever seen a d20 before, but by the end of it, we were all having a ball. I'm now in a long-term campaign with a couple of them. (Our work group got disbanded due to funding and a reorg of the company not long after though :/ )
Football is just LARPing for jocks.
Ya gotta love it when the jock bullies of yesteryear’s tactics do fuck all to get their way.
That's all you can do in this world when facing bullies. Eyes forward, face stern, sticking to your guns and not letting them get to you.
4:50 as someone who both swam competitively and played ttrpgs in high school, I'm a bit bewildered about his befuddlement. When you're on a swim team, each of our victories adds to the triumph of the team. If you only have a *few All Stars* on your team, you're going to get beat
Smashmouth
Best line: Have you completed basketball?
Kids are savage without even realizing it!
I pack Semi Trailer Doors and my partner suffers from Autism. We started listening to Critical Roll about two months ago and he got really interested in DnD so with the overall manager's approval I got a group of people from work to play on the Discord App. We started about a month ago at level 3 and the party are now around level 5 and my partner is having the time of his life playing. His character is a blue dragonborn paladin that at level three started with 31 HP, the first session I put them up against some bandits where they were in an ambush position while the bandits were encamped. My partner had the idea of walking up to the fire from the shadows and using an illusionary spell made himself look fifty feet tall and scared the bandits so bad they ran away. He rolled a nat 20 and my hour to two hour long fight ended in five seconds, I awarded him a D10 inspiration die and gave all of them full xp for the fight that never happened.
That coach guy is such a sad person, even a 11 y old kid understands the world better than he does.
And then the class clapped.
on the matter of daily physical activity, I can agree with that. But the club isn't about that. It's about helping some introverted kids socialize and get out of their shells. It also builds rapport between the kids and the DM/teacher.
The Sports and the club have nothing to do with each other.
I don't know, there's an awful lot in this one that sounds too much like "and then everyone clapped"
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies 🎶
There’s plenty of dreary edgy stories on this channel too. They tend to get tedious.
@@arcticwolf137 That too, the horror stories start to blend together. I miss the days of Astoshan
Kind of the fantasy we all wish we did when we were told off for playing this, isn't it?
This was my impression as well. A lot of stories on this channel seem like they're written by edgy young teenagers for Reddit upvotes.
I love how after saying "laser grid", upon saying "Resident Evil", _I knew shit was real._ Granted, not as obscenely cheap as the movie did it, but still.
(inset SpongeBob rainbow meme, with sign "imagination")
i went for improv and because i have played d&d and roleplaying then i was quick picking up on improv.
have you completed basketball yet?
Entrapment was the movie, not Oceans. ‘Just a heads up.
has DH ever played pretend before…he’s at a *school* YIRBEL LIVES!
DH bringing the big "peaked in high school" vibes
DH: hello fellow kids, do you want to play the sport?
kids: shut up boomer
"D&D is pointless."
Do you have a favorite TV show? 'Cause D&D is like that; except you get to write it, too.
7:46 I am not a wierdo... Forgot about last video huh 🤣😂
Why is throwing the Halfling always the solution.
I am looking for a group that has freer schedules and would love to contact a local school to start a game as a way to help kids with confidence and other things like that. But as a 21 year old guy that is not a teacher, I’m worried people would think I’m being weird or creepy. I’m a dad and think that most people are too negative about children and teen and want to let kids know there are adults that value them. I might reach out to a school but I’m worried I won’t be taken serious.
If the school has a counselor try talking to them to pitch your idea. And if you can talk to any of the other kids parents and get them on your side as well. Also if you regularly DM a group have your group write up a list of things they’ve gotten out of it and how it could help kids. Take those notes and any parents or parents signatures with you when you go to the counselor to pitch your idea. Then the counselor can suggest it to management and see if it’s something they’ll allow on a trial basis. Good luck!
@@JDStone-jg8cg Thanks for your suggestions!
Oceans 12, it was the night fox (Vincent Casssel) not catherine zeta jones :p gotta be that guy sorry
Catherine Zeta Jones was in Entrapment - to which he was referring.
More like Entrapment with Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean Connery.
So Constructo, you're telling me $80,000 and they gave us weather, a jungle, dice effects, and the ability to use audio files in game. And they only had the kickstarter for 30 days? idk chief something seems kinda off
What is the music with the intro called?
A boomer who is so locked into their profession. While there's nothing wrong with making sports your priority and trying to get students involved, but you have to know when to bring it up.
There's a way to sway boomers into playing DnD, but you have to come up with a campaign about a sports game. Football, baseball, basketball, soccer/football, it's doable.
That's not even a boomer problem. Try talking to someone who doesn't know or really care what DnD is and see if their questions aren't equally insipid.
I'm not even halfway through the video and i can't handle how fake the first story sounds
It sounds fun, even if it sounds just a bit too good to be true.
Woahm i'm 4mins in and super confused. Too many acronyms and maybe it's only me, but I sort of lost track of whats happening 😅
Imagine peaking at high school like DH. It's so stereotypical too. High school sports fanatic gym teacher thinks everything that isn't sports is a waste of time and doesn't get how teams work
Absolutely cannot stand folks like DH. Kudos to the kids for holding their ground.
are these stories taken from reddit?
Don't hate me for this bit, if felt like the first story was either faked or very embellished. Just my thoughts though
👍
nice to see you still havent fixed the way you read and that droning, oddly canted voice after all these years.
That's MyLo, a voice actor for hire. I have to admit, for a long time I was convinced he was a good text-to-speech app, especially since I've heard him on other UA-cam channels as well. He has the potential for great voices and emotion, but with the sheer volume of work he undertakes, I think he just ends up going on autopilot...
Can't blame the old man for wanting to help prevent childhood obesity that later becomes adult obesity and is much harder to combat if their bodies are already used to being sedentary. He's very patient compared to most older individuals when they don't understand something. DH didn't yell at them, he didn't actively try to make them stop, he sat down and tried to understand, he calmly expressed what he did not understand (and got treated like an idiot, so I guess learning new things is only for kids 🙄) and it sounds like because of the photo for the school paper (that DH took for that purpose) the club is now getting attention as a good thing.
I mean, going up to a group of people who are doing something explicitly to tell them that what they're doing is dumb and pointless and they should stop and do what you like instead is still a bit rude and annoying even if you don't scream and grab someone to drag them away by force...
Putting aside that the first story sounds like it never even happened for a moment...
Oh so when the nerds do it it's rude and is 'treating DH like an idiot' but the fact he was literally telling them that they are having fun wrong and what they like is pointless, that's just okay? You can be an asshole without raising your voice. The worst farts are quiet as we all know.
Typical macho cliche huh?
I dunno, I know some pretty cliché macho dudes who love DnD. It's more that this dude was just a douche lol
yup
@@smashbrandiscootch719 Fair enough.
@@juliagoodwin9510 Your assessment is also fair. There always seems to be **WAY** more toxic masculinity out there than healthy masculinity.
