24 rats cause it gets 24 turns instead of 1
An action economist i see
On the other hand, each rat deals only half of its already abysmal damage to the swarm, and the swarm can hit all 24 of them in one turn, without an attack roll, and for considerably more damage. I'd argue the fight depends almost entirely on where the swarm is in the initative order.
It depends on how many rats it takes to do an action, like if it takes 3-4 rats to hold a weapon or use an item. That's not to consider the multipliers you might get if you add more rats to each action. 🤔
@@aptom203 _[swarms don't take half damage (at least in 5e), so] (scratch this part, they do actually have resistance, but that's meaningless, I'll explain further down_ the difference is each rat only has a +0 to its attack roll, and the swarm has a +2, with both the swarm and each individual rat having an AC of 10. The damage is inconsequential as it will always be enough to kill one rat for the swarm, and 1 point of damage for the rats' bite, which, uhm... 1/2 rounds up, back to 1 point of piercing damage.
The rat swarm also can only attack one creature at a time.
24 rats win, no dif.
The swarm acts with PACK TACTICS! WHY DO YOU GIVE EVERYTHING PACK TACTICS!!
please someone animate the intro into a little goblin shopkeeper XD
I read this comment as I got a football ad and I was like “huh. Why would anyone want football animated into goblins?” And now I have that imagine in my head thank you
@@tr-st_me_bro and now I imagine an anime centered around football...but it's a fantasy world and the goblins are the underdog team XD
I'm no animator but that'd be amazing, on it.
@@Eryniell OH MY GOD YES WE NEED THIS
i will try my best
The "It's a jar" gag reminds me of when a GM said, "There is a gazebo in front of you" and the party members said, "We attack the gazebo!"
"It's a *gazebo*"
"I shoot an arrow at it!"
"Okay, you killed the gazebo. IT'S AN INANIMATE OBJECT"
THE DREAD GAZEBO!!
“You wanna be inside and outside then buy a GAZEBO!”
@@thenewtriosguy i hope someone made an actual monster statblock out of it
this is why I love D&D (I need someone to DM for me I have multiple character sheets filled out but have yet to actually play the damn game😭)
I can't decide which is worse, the fact my party WILL kill ANYTHING that has a chance of being evil, or that there paranoia is fully justified by my actions
The latter. You made them this way!
Time to step it up, let me introduce you to the toilet mimic.
Eh, just switch it up once in a while, make a really sus character that it turns out would have shortened the campaign by like two weeks; they'll second guess themselves for eternity if you do it erratically enough.
@@cal.cipher...9820 thank you for helping me torment my party more
During a campaign we split the party 1 too many times. As we tried to split our DM said, “an invisible force pulls you back together”. Later we wanted to cross a ravine so we threw one party member across and used the invisible force to drag the rest along. The beauty of DnD :D
Your DM must have hated that.
🎶dont you know, you never split the party🎶
I'm a bit surprised it didn't just pull them back to the rest of the group.
@@rolfs2165 as a DM I would have ruled that way 😂
@@rolfs2165 right? gravitational force of multiple party members would be greater than the gravitational force of the single party member that was light enough to throw.
I have a theory. I'm thinking that bikini-armor has been completely misunderstood. They were really ment to be a secret armor that one could hide beneath clothing but people went "sexy armor yey!" instead.
Someone went with the idea of it being enchanted armor, so it essentially generates a forcefield around the wearer, increasing their AC massively.
I always thought they were just cosmetics. I haven't played a game where it was equippable stat armor.
@@Nyghtking I mean, mage armor is a thing in pathfinder/dnd.
In TES4 Oblivion you can cast shield spells on yourself, but you can instead have clothing enchanted with shield spell.
On practical side, ig skimpy armor will make one very agile, since even light armor, as i understand it, is closer to heavy clothing.
I thought it was survivorship bias, where warriors returning from battles reported their injuries and they made armour to protect those areas
Bikini armor is just an incomplete armor set
Regarding the "city hires adventurers instead of the guard" thing, I was running a game and the players asked the guard captain why he didn't just send guards to do this.
Oh boy, they learned a lot of TMI about managing a police force in a small city. The guard captain told them that three of the guards were off duty due to injuries, one was sick, one was on maternity leave, four guards were out of town transporting a prisoner, and the rest were needed to actually patrol and do gate duty. "This is a one time problem," he told them. "It's cheaper in the long run to hire a group of adventurers than it is to train a half dozen people and keep them on the payroll and set aside benefits and pensions."
They never asked "Why us?" again.
Thing is, I'd wondered the same thing as a player, and thought about a logical explanation for it, a few years before. I was so happy to be able to rattle off the guard captain's rant. 😄
temp worker vs. full time worker. Genius!
I've always played this as the Lord or who ever is trying to use the party as a dubious expendable off-bbook asset, so they can keep their own hands clean.
also adventurers are expendable
@@williamozier918 Fair
@@michaelklaus this is true
last time i played dnd, i said “i mount the sheep” because i wanted to tame it. the dm horribly misinterpreted what i meant and put head down on the table, sighed, and said “no you do not.”
Baa means NO. Ferals can’t consent and for another thing *DM rant continues like this for hours*

Fun Fact: Blueberry actually **is** a damage type in D&D. The only monster that deals blueberry damage is Sheldon, the Blueberry Dragon. Sheldon has an attack called Blueberry Fling. It has a range of 60ft, has +7 to hit, and deals 2d6+4 blueberry damage. It can be found in Misplaced Monsters: Volume 1 😁
That is very useful considering there is a dnd quiz at my uni soon
Githyanki Bear Totem Barbarian: I resist all damage types! You can't hurt me!
Sheldon:
From the witchlight module; Custard is another special damage type
@@puffaliaz fuck yeah lets go, um homebrewing Ambrosia Wave now. Its tidal wave but dose custard damage instead
I was about to say wild beyond the witchlight
The whole "what if dnd races were real races" thing reminds me of a time I was at a halloween party and I overheard this girl telling someone that her costume was her dnd character, so I, a fellow dnd nerd, came up to her and asked her with no context, "what her race was". She was black.
I quickly clarified after seeing her expression, but not before I *died* inside.
And that's why it's important to think before you say anything. It lessons the likelihood of situations like that
@@seeleunit2000 Or it gives you crippling social anxiety. Think in moderation, kids 😂
The animation Click is talking about was called “I like girls” iirc, really good. A friend of his described it as “how lesbians appreciate women” and I was not aware this was why he went on indefinite hiatus, that sucks! That animation was great and so was Jocat.
Further information, it was a parody song, fully animated, and yes, was entirely inclusive of body types. Gotta love the internet for bullying people for not being picky about what defines an attractive woman.
Further further information THEY DOXXED HIM AND HIS FAMILY the internet was a mistake our cat boy is a national treasure why would they do this
Funnily enough that "How can a guy liking girls that much seem so gay" thing is a big part of Philosophy Tube's latest video, and I fully expected JoCat to make an appearance ... But alas...
@@sirleo003 it's so weird that some of the bullies latched on to the idea that ' he made liking girls gay'
"I'd get sick of it after 3 days without being able to wash"
The wizard, king, bard, nobleman, literally every civilization since like 2000BC:
"HATH THOU NOT HEARD OF A FUCKING BATHHOUSE!?"
I actually read up on a lot of bathing stuff for a campaign my friend ran. Recommend that you read up on the history of soap. Interesting stuff, though how the Romans did it kind of makes me wanna vom, ngl. But if we can have modern post-16th century soap readily available, I'm all for it 👏
@@Gloowie12345what do you think is the difference? animal fat is still used in traditional recipies. Or which part is the one you struggle with?
Plus, people may not have bathed often in medieval times, but they did wash themselves. Instead of the giant chore of filling and warming a huge tub, orfinary people used wash clothes and buckets. Very efficient :)
I love that "healthcare via magic" is such a selling point lol Man, screw the system in US :P
I'm against the communal sponge on a stick used to clean the undercarriage and left in a bucket if water for the next guy
The entire thing with Jocat was a bunch of terminally online weirdoes looking for something to get mad at. The video was a gender swapped parody of Lizzo's "Boys" song that was literally "all body types are beautiful" but with the way people reacted, you'd think he committed some kind of atrocity.
Breaks my heart
Man canceled for being too straight: he loves women 😔
They think he made being straight seem gay and they're worried that that means that they, the straights, might be gay too if they enjoy it. The only way to be straight is to shit on things that aren't exactly the way they 'should' be.
People were also mad that he did a trans charity stream when Hogwart's Legacy came out. His promo video for it says that he wanted to use his privilege as a cis man to help trans people and so transphobes and people who refuse to read another book went after him.
Was this back when the video came out? How did I not know about this?
34:08 Click actually told this story once before in more detail, he threw some like a barrel of gunpowder or some explosive in a fire place rolled a 20 blew up the house, himself and one of his party members
I'm pretty sure he was playing that same character who opened a pub in every village they were in and got so much gold from them compared to the other PCs that the DM had to introduce inflation.
@@LoremIpsum-dp1li Yeees, good old Basso Diggle!
That's not how a 20 should work, though. The scale for this sort of thing is how close to your intended result you get, not how much damage you deal.
I think I may have to disagree with the whole “playing characters that are too different from you is really difficult.” I’m a pretty serious person in real life, yet my favorite kind of character to play is the whole “stupid, no planning, unlucky” type of character, just because I can distinctly act differently from how I’m used to. I always have trouble playing serious characters because I feel like I’m not role playing enough in-game.
Yes, same. I'm a programmer and I have to think things through and make logical decisions. I prefer to play a character that comes up with a half-baked plan, kicks in the door, and hits someone with a big axe.
The amount of sexual innuendo in the original book, Dracula, is wild. Mercy-bearing stakes being driven deep into heaving bosoms, etc. There’s a reason that the librarian made me get my parent’s permission when I wanted to read it at 14-ish
And that's still the sanitized version. Apparently the first draft was way worse! (Or better, depending on your perspective of course)
One of my favorite parts is when Mina tells Lucy in a letter that she "love[s] [her] with all the meanings and tenses of the verb." Personally, I don't know how to interpret that in a way that's not at least a little gay.
@brianroberts783 Mina has *big* bi vibes. She's definitely into guys, and loves Jonathan a lot, but there's no way she's not also a little hot for Lucy.
I dunno, I mostly think it's only innuendo if you're specifically looking to interpret it through that particular lens. I don't think it's actually that overtly or obviously specifically sexual innuendo. But I s'pose maybe for the era it was written in it was. I should read more written from that same time period, perhaps, to better weigh it.
(Like the zookeeper with this wife and Mina meeting the one other guy at the train station that one time and them both like acknowledging that they were attractive people but she was already spoken for and off-limits or whatever was probably more obviously sexual in my opinion than the vampire slaying. But maybe that's just me. Lol)
One of the first fictional books to be about romantic vampires was in... 1872, predating Dracula? (Carmilla)
A lesbian vampire aristocrat was going around feeding on ladies of the night.
I need to read that *coughcough*
As a DM myself I keep my players on the edge when I request dice rolls. Once I asked the party who is the first to walk into the tavern. I made them roll a dexterity check. They failed and in turn they were bodychecked by a large enthusiastic dog who licked their face and demanded cuddles.
That's beautiful. 😂
A skill check you want to fail! I would definitely cuddle and pet the pupper.
Having been recently head-butted by a gentle giant St. Bernard... this sounds like the best day ever.
My first solution to the party trying to visit two towns at once is to let them.
Both groups arrive to find the towns empty and ransacked, as they investigate they suddenly regroup.
Checking the map they confirm that neither group got lost, both locations are the same town, this could be a natural feature or an effect from whatever attacked.
Where they exit is dependent on which exit they take.
best part about the vampire piston is that if you roll high enough for the perception roll, you hear the screaming of the sizzling vampire dying over and over again
im gonna be so fr that shopkeeper that's completely unhinged trying to put boobs on frogs would be an amazing character.
reminds me of the crazy witch from Eragon that was trying to prove that frogs did not exist.
Dr. Mefesto from South Park likes to asses on everything. Multiple asses.
this sounds like an Oglaf comic
The frogs need boobs in order to wear the bikini armour!
Frogs get boobs with some pollutants.
A few weeks ago I was playing D&D with my brother and dad and we came across one of those evil, soulless wizard-turned-demons (I forget what they're called). My chaotic "good" elf wizard character ended up being the only one at the top of a ravine when it showed itself, so it tried to get into her brain. It asked why she wasn't scared of it killing her and she replied, "Oh, I've skinned goblins alive because they had prisoners. I can do it again if need be. It's fun."
So the creature paused and stared at her for a moment before asking if she was single 💀 XD
''no a whiteboard behind the DM''
you get candy for killing enemies.
if you kill a good NPC you drink a tablespoon of hot sauce .
Also: Government hiring the party because they're more expendable than soldiers. They've put time and money into training these guys, and their families are going to complain if they die. Have the bunch of random nobodies, most of whom are probably orphans anyway, deal with the phase spider.
Very historically accurate to medieval warfare
Those are called conscripts.
Yeah, basically "expendables"
welcome to Night City, Shadowrunner!
50 gold to a bunch of nobodies or the waste of a trained guards, the armour and weapons. Not to forget the widows/ families would surely like compensation or pension.
Yeah, it's called hire a mercenaries
I gave my group a rat.
They somehow gave it an AC of 20 and made a special crossbow for it, and just launched an AC20 rat at anyone that they needed to distract.
My DM made the mistake of letting me befriend a big rat. She held the record for most kills in the party for quite some time
In my campaign, last session, we ‘adopted’ a goblin, which the dwarf now has in a bag of holding tied around his neck, and that now has a blunderbuss. So he starts combat by his beard unloading a shotgun now.
And this why D&D is the shit.
Minsc: I am proud to see someone give the deserved value to our smaller scrappier fuzzier friends and that it has proper protection to boot. Boo prefers to go commando as it were
This is amazing
the "rolls in combat vs roles out of combat" one really reminds me of a dnd oneshot I watched (Ranboo's "Mystery of the Train" for anyone wondering) where they rolled a nat20 to have a very moist handshake. Beautiful
I just had my first every dnd game today and we’ve already have amazing moments such as:
-Red heads are canonically demons
-Our warlock not knowing what elves are
-A goblin failling critically 3 times

Almost all of our campaign is homebrew. There's a God named Autom who merged multiple worlds together into one (basically an excuse to mash our favorite Fandoms together)
Recently my character dazed (socerer that always wears a poncho) was in the wings of fire section of the world AND ACCIDENTALLY WOKE DARKSTALKER UP. (Everything was good though, we managed a persuasion check to get him to not wipe the entire party.)
Might I also mention that the dm had an npc named Astra. Who is automs child. Astra ended up almost murdering dazed because they fell into a hyperfixation. I love dnd so fucking much.
Oh hello, fellow wings of fire fan!
how'd you accidentally wake darkstalker?? was he free from the mountain the rest of the game?
Most TTRPG systems have an explicit rule that states that the DM/GM/ST is the only person in the game allowed to cheat.
Actually Dwarves are from Norce mythology, and they weren't short. In the original mythos they were human sized, all male, couldn't be in sunlight, and reproduced by literally building babies with human flesh and magic.
And yes I plan on making a DnD campaign were the Dwarves are all asexual, homoromantic wizard black smitchs.
They were short but generally between 4 and 5 feet and occasionally over 5 feet not 3 feet like many media portray these days.
Not sure where you got the rest of that from as even the Nordic documentation we have doesn't mention that much detail about the dwarves. It only really talks about a handful of dwarves like Sindri.
@@LGBTQLegendand at least german legends talk about heroes meeting the daughters of dwarfs.
Would be funnier if they reproduced like cells do
reads: "the Dwarves are all asexual, homonecrotic", blinks. rereads. Must have been the thing above about building babies out of human flesh
Okay but that just sounds like magic vampires
37:05 Fun fact: having to share a bed at an inn would actually be historically accurate! You wouldn’t pay for a bed, you would pay for a spot in a bed.
3:45 considering some ancient warriors would run into battle completely nude with only an axe and a shield, I like to imagine this sorta armour came from them not being able to get adventuring jobs in more modest parts of the realm, and deciding to cover up as little as feasible to actually be allowed in the local taverns
34:00
In my first one shot with my friends, i made it so they would have collars that will teleport them to a common location if they separated from each other more than 600ft. This meant that if they tried to split, they couldn't go too far before being Tp'd bsck to the rest of the party.
It also saved me from that guy who always wants to leave the party and go solo adventuring for no reason other than being overleveled.
JoCat's "I like girls" is a certified banger and I'll never forgive the asshats who decided to make hating fun and whimsy their whole personality.
Completely agree. Jocat was great
"There is a fork in the road"
"I pick up the fork".
"oh, first time anyone realised that, its gold, btw"
23:55 , The movie is called "Hero" , its from 2002 but it still holds up .
If you haven't seen it and have the means of seeing it , high recommend . (preferably blind)
You're describing the light novel "Campfire Cooking in Another World." The lead character's special skill lets him access an online supermarket, with the items being delivered instantly by magic. It has an anime adaptation too. He gets a portable gas stove. His slime familiar eats all his trash. It's very wholesome.

The artist who made the bikini armour post was harassed after posting it.
According to the artist they posted it after some WoW players threw a tantrum over a sexy incubus being added to the game. (it was also based on a real outfit lol) So they were okay with succubus but incubus was too "gay" and they wanted it removed. The post was meant to be a silly thing for artists' own community which was familiar with the situation but it blew up and people started harassing them because of it.
Which is so dumb. The Sayaads are both hot, Succubus and Incubus. It’s ok to be horni but I’m really embarrassed at how immature and stupid a lot of my fellow wow players are. You could even on launch talk to a trainer to only summon succubi. Their fragile toxic masculinity can’t handle the thought of a male lust demon seducing them in PvP when succubi could seduce straight women as early as launch. But even some who didn’t PvP whined. Like bruh.
that's basically how the harassment of JoCat started, when the parody reached outside his own usual audience.
I agree with the reply to the og post shown both, both is good.
That's completely screwed up. Not imagine exposes a lot of hypocrisy. Honestly, I think people really need to learn the concept of don't cyberbully someone.
Has the concept of netiquette and basic human decency gone totally out the window ?
People can be such asshats.
PS: And I honestly think we could definitely use more guys in bikini armor to make things much more fair.
click just missed the perfect opportunity to introduce his plushies as familiars you can get for yourself lol
I was DMing and the rogue asked if he could roll for stealth. He was the only player with a high enough perception to notice a secret passage and in a classic rogue move decides to not tell the other party members about it. I told him yes but since he was in the middle of the group he had disadvantage. I'm thinking "There is no way this guy gets away with it." He proceeds to roll TWO nat 20s.

You're not wrong
Including those who don't play LPG games - my daughter and son-in-law do, I'm useless at anything like that - and only have a vague idea of what you are talking about.
Whenever i have a bad or harsh day is literally my go-to channel.
We had a „no legs“ Situation too in one of our older campaigns. We where trapped in the underdark and my cleric was constantly arguing with our Paladin, cause we followed pretty different gods. During a really unlucky encounter with a gelatinus Cube the Paladin lost both of his legs. Since our last healing spells where not able to regrow his legs the „Half-Orc-Backpack“ was born. My dragonborn cleric was the only one strong enough to carry him and we had a blast roleplaying this duo of constantly arguing guys, forced to work so closely together, not being able to get rid of each other :D
Fights got really interesting too:“Turn around you damn lizard i cant hit anything like that!“
24:50 I find Lawful Evil more dangerous than Chaotic Evil. Lawful Evil is like Darth Vader, Chaotic Evil is like the Joker.
I find the best way to encourage players to add more detail if they're being vague about what they're rolling for is to be equally vague back. For example, I had someone in a party that had just entered a cave say "I roll for Investigation." So I replied "The cave is investigated."
This, but a little more helpful if they roll well. The ability to spot small things if their focus is large is much reduced. But large focus investigation might earn them a hint in the right direction.
Also depends on the character. Sometimes you have to work with someone if they are playing a character smarter than they are.
@@drcatspaw fair enough, my example was more for players who roll a skill check without specifying why they had done so.
@RustyShackleford101 Oh, then certainly! lol Or you can go supper specific but on something they clearly didn't mean. "You investigate and find that your shirt has exactly 14 buttons, is made of a fine woven canvas material, it....."
@@RustyShackleford101 best practices is just asking “why?”, But your way sound way more fun
11:40
They’re not mammary glands, they’re venom sacks. Reptile people need a lot more food than humans because they don’t store fat. This means they need large venom sacks to keep up with the amount of hunting required for survival.
This implies that sniddies are a hunting adaptation, and bigger sniddies would at least imply greater capacity for venom production. If we go by the anthrocentric idea that only females have breasts, this implies that female snakefolk are significantly better equipped for hunting than their males.
What this means though could be interesting. Do they band together in communities where the women hunt for the community and share? Will the men latch on to a woman to get her leftovers, either as a partner or as a stalking nuisance? Do the men simply have other adaptations to hunt instead of large venom sacks?
@@PanthereaLeonisMaybe the females are vipers and the males are constrictors. Though with snakes, females are usually larger, so maybe the males just hunt smaller prey.
@@PanthereaLeonis sniddies
@@PanthereaLeonisThe venom sacs in males could be...lower, they would have to smaller. But perhaps an organ could be used to make targeting the venom more acculturate like a spiting corba. Maybe some sort of snenis if you will. Males could have developed tactics to blind their prey before moving in for the kill.
@@PanthereaLeonis All adults in the species have venom sacks. Also, the sniddles are used to fight for dominance in the community. The adults secrete a nutrient paste from specialized oral glands. So they feed the children of the community by kissing. They don’t understand why humans think kissing is romantic.
I came up with the idea of what to do with party splitting to visit two towns - make it one town, but with a story of two districts arguing about the name of the whole town and never found the solution, so they named their respective parts of the town differently - and roadsigns shows a direction to the towngates which opens to each one of them
The JoCat controversey is insane to me. It's such a no win situation. He was critisized for liking women too much and critisized because his like of women being too gay. It's so nuts to see come up all the time on Twitter.
About the "I roll persuasion" thing - in a game I played, one of the characters did this sort of by accident with a leadership roll (he was really excited about getting to the next room where combat was happening). My GM just went with "ok, so you stand up in front of the group, strike a pose and declare "LEADERSHIP!" before leaving the room. Everyone feels inspired by you, but they have no idea what you wanted them to do, so they're just going to hang out."
With the "I only prepped one area and they are going to both options" problem there is an interesting one time use option: Use that one place for both.
Either lampshade it and have both towns hate each other, or have absolutely no agnolegement of it and have the NPC's utterly oblivious to the other town being exactly the same.
Players pick up on it?
Make it into a plot point, one town is entirely made of mimics/the entire second town is displaced in time/wizard bullshit.
basically desert bluffs vs. night vale lol
Or some kind of space anomaly
Or it is one town, but split in half and both sides hate each other
I'd simply let the group of players who were the most keen on splitting up walk into a gang of highwaymen or (if they're high level with good gear) a powerful monster as a roadblock and force them to flee, with a small risk of one of them dying to bad luck in the process. The other group meanwhile has a great time in the town's tavern and whenever the party decides to move on from the town, it turns out the town is a dead end that only serves to equip the group for their next adventure, where the first challenge is of course to take down the highwaymen/monster that's blocking the other path and can only be taken on by the FULL party (-1 to account for potential loss during fleeing).
Or don't even bother lampshading it, tell your players that you only prepped one place and you'll use the same map for both (and might change it later when you're done with the other).
To be fair, if you find a child alone deep in a massive dungeon, that’s probably a monster
The joke to murderhobo character reminded me of a character I made to handle murderhobos if I ever ran a DnD game. He's a lizardfolk who carries hand-crafted potions, magical gear, and usual mundane items. Get on his good side and he'll give a code that gives that player a discount and access to a secret shop. Try and attack him and he'll slam dunk your ass to the ninth level of Hell and follow for even more ass kicking without a second thought. His backstory is he was part of an elite squad of mercenaries, with his job being the armorer and scouting out rough waters and thick swampy areas, so you mess with him and he can call his buddies on the murderhobo to "finish the job". I always try to give him veteran vibes when the players interact with him so that the ones with common sense can catch on that he's more of a badass than they think.
Around 35 years ago, when my children were growing up and we played as a family, against another family.....My Bard character, half-elf, was ambushed by creatures appearing from behind the tapestry in a banquetting hall. My DM was not the most efficient, and rolled for damage before checking what i had in my hand. It turned out i had been playing my penny whistle at the moment of attack, and we had to decide that my metal whistle caused fatal injuries by piercing the attacker through the eye and into the brain. My Bard refused to play that instrument again.
That could have been a really cool accidentally cursed object!
The secret to play dnd in your 40: you’re married to another dnd player ans you’re friend with a couple who plays dnd. You have to play remote with fantasy ground and zoom because you live 12 hours apart…. (Same time zone) So basically, we only have to deal with 2 schedules and we are all understanding about kids distractions.
I grew up in a very culturally absent area so when my son was old enough we just all play together. My son and I take turns DMing
Even in the same HOUSE it's hard to make 4 schedules fit lol
Even more fun is once old enough (12 ish probably) you can get the kids in on the action too 👀
Just for fun, I'd make it so that the characters talk in-game if their players talk to their children, so the entire party just has these imaginary kids that sometimes pop into existence.
@@AiyetoroFeligrus My kids first game started when they were preschoolers. A very short and simplify version, but we realised that my daughter is a natural role player and my first son is a barbarian…. My youngest will probably be a DM one day because he hates when his character gets hit, but he doesn’t mind if monsters get crush… so start them young.

I would like to travel to a world where the emotional support demon is real.
On my last DnD session our rogue got instantly one shot by the final boss before he could do anything, and our wizard summoned a crab to replace him. The crab finished off one of the boss' minions and got hailed as a hero, while the party mocked the knocked out rogue.
I can't imagine how much that stung
Unless the rogue's player got to play the crab. In which case, direct upgrade.
Inns with just one bed are actually somewhat historically accurate. Most inns weren't hotels with separate sleeping rooms, but would have one large guest room. Inns in smaller towns and villages (-> fewer guests per night) often just had one big bed, which was useful when the night got cold, so the guests could warm each other
That sounds awful. One big bed sounds like a lot of assaults to me.
13:35 That sounds suspiciously like a Bill Hicks joke about driving while on LSD. He had a car (that was very fancy for the 90s) that had a voice that would announce the car's status (and other things). At one point, Bill and his friends were all tripping and had to pull over. Someone opened one of the doors and the car said "the door is ajar", and apparently Bill and his friends spent the next several hours puzzling over how a door can be a jar.
30:11 This is why, when I DM, the players don't get to decide what kind of roll/check they do. If they want to do something, they tell me what they do and I tell them what/if to roll. It avoids things like this. Plus, sometimes you can pull a fast one by giving them a check they don't expect
If LOTR has taught me anything it's that there are no dwarf women and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground.
Pratchett hypothesised that as all dwarfs are bearded, certainly only bearded dwarfs have ever been seen, therefore the ladies are also bearded, and wear chain mail and leather. He reported dwarf dating can get confusing down in the deep dark.
My headcanon IS, that some of the dwafes WE saw probably could BE female given, that the women of their Kind are indistinguashable by Other races from the men and IT would BE very practical to Just pretends to BE Male to Outsiders instead of facing sexism and Other bs. IT would really fit their suspicious secretiv Nature. Like dem gimli IS pretty much the only gender Swap of a Main characters I have ever Approved of mostly cause ITS genuinly interesting and could BE canon

For three hours a week for one of my dnd campaigns, I am a /devout/ monarchist. I would die for my kings. I am the head of the royal guard. I have and will continue to follow the nobles into whatever dangerous situations they get into and pull them out of it.
Then the session ends and I go back to being a socialist.
I have this with religion; almost all of my characters are deeply devout. Me? No thanks!
The secret millennial desire to serve a leader that’s actually worthy of respect
5:18 I did something like that in Pathfinder, playing an Alchemist. I had an familiar that I forced to carry a lid of a pot above its head, and loaded it with a ton of explosives and than made it run into the enemies. It was a glorious explosion.
Rest in peace Hugo the 4th.

It's called prestidigitation and it's art.
New player: I'm going with asian I guess.
DM: So an asian human, asian elf, asian orc. I can keep going if you want.
Well it works for dragons. Asian dragons are different than European dragons.
@@elaexplorerlike African swallows being different than European swallows.
I don't know dnd, what's asian? D'ya mean assass-in?
I'm currently doing a campaign in Pathfinder's Tian Xia, and the first people the group met were a group of dwarven monks. They had arrived millennia ago and integrated into a Tibetan-style monastery. Stone and metalworking skills evolving over thousands of years into a unique cultural art style.
@@FelidaeEnjoyer I messed up and accidently spelled asian wrong. It was supposed to be a joke based on the first meme.
Now it's joke time: I think you mean Asiassin.
19:11 Yes, you can. That's how many kobolds create their lairs. They make tunnels in which tall people have to crowl in order to pass, but kobolds can pass just fine, and then they spear to death adventurers while they can't move. For creatures with suck low int scores, kobolds at least are ingenious in their trap-making and lair-digging
Good ol' Terry's Kobolds...
@@TyphinHoofbun Nothing more terrifying that a group of kobolds in their lair (Tucker's kobolds also showed that). Other monsters might be more destructive, but a group of kobolds with enough time and a little bit creativity, it's truly a sight to behold.
Specially if using diseases (kobolds use dead animals' entrails to cause infections with their weapons and traps), it can become terribly destructive in a dungeon crawl, since without lesser restoration, it can cause truly devastating effects if left unchecked (also, the diseases part of the DM manual doesn't get used a lot, which is a shame, because it could be really interesting for some gritty campaigns)
It's also more realistic; after all, why would you design entryways and hallways for creatures who aren't meant to use them?
Kobolds probably just dig out a tall-enough tunnel that they can stand in it, and leave it at that.
To answer your question:
D&D universe - get a prestidigitation cantrip and you are set. Warming and cooling food and drinks, changing the taste and the look of meh food into awesome, cleaning or soiling a cubic foot of space at once (you can slowly "vacuum clean" your way around bigger areas) which can be used as a shower, and also creating small temporal trinkets like fidget spinners, keys, various knick-knacks... yeah, with that, i would go immediately.
And then the Pandora from JC's Avatar. Hell yeah to glowing jungle and tall blue people! Fingers crossed that i would be a scientist with their own avatar. The best of both worlds really

"Whuups! Zhat vas not Medissin!"
as an actual field medic ("Tactical Nurse" in my case, as per designated title) I can attest that's exactly how you play one, 100%, especially to your friends.
you can be the freaking Desmond Doss in and out of combat, but when it comes to curing one minor boo-boo, you fail it in the most catastrophically comical way.
kudos to your friend.
At the time of this videos release, there has been a small resurgence in JoCat bullying because some dude thought it would be a good idea to use the poor guy as an example of why he thinks men can't be sexual without being seen as harmless. Jo wasn't aiming to be sexual, he just wanted to make a cute little video about how all women are beautiful in their own way. The fact he just happens to enjoy having a feminine aesthetic is just a coincidence. His fiancé certainly has no complaints about it.
once played a witch half-fay character. She had 20 charisma (High roll on creation + class bonus + my mom being DM.) I was the default for charisma stuff, so I was both the only healer and the only person who could talk to people
So an introvert group and you were the one extroverted friend everyone hid behind
Healers gotta be assertive to tell others when to stop doing stupid shit and getting hurt.
I'm also the high charisma/healer one in one of my parties! (Fallen Aasimar Paladin) I acquired a wondrous item yesterday I'm *very* excited about because it's potentially going to bump my charisma to 22 😅

5:15 If I summon a skeleton, and it pulls this off, I'd do anything I can to make it stick around for the entire rest of the campaign.
It deserves it.
The "campaign inspirations" one was probably funnier than it should have been, since I've seen my fair share of 'historical documents'. My mind immediately jumped to the most common forms of historical documentation we have: legers and personal correspondence. And now I want to see what the resulting campaign looks like.
"New mission: transport 28 sacks of potatoes, 10 crates of wolf pelt fur rugs, 5 goats, 3 oxen, and a the deed to a farm to White Castle, which is owned by our lord's new son-in-law. Then, act as couriers for the new lady and her best friend, as she wants advice on what colors of sheets look best in summer."
To all my GMs... reuse your plots. Reuse your campaigns. Best game I ever ran decided to run again a few years later. It's even better for me because of the nostalgia. I also get to see how other players handle things.
Imagine buying "magnetic bikini armor" thinking it will keep attacks at bay but instead it really just pulls in all the attacks. Good news is the enemy no longer has a sword, bad news is it's made friends with your liver
That (sort of) helps because it draws the weapon to the only protected area.
I thought of a centaur eloyai the wellhung , walking in and asking for a sock armour size magnum.
Of course in a upper class British accent,
it's made friends with your liver is a banger line, my friend
is it because the sword is magical and has an ego all its own and is a terrible influence to all they know?
Here's a better idea to deal with that solo murder hobo lady.
Turn her into a fugitive and change the campaign slightly to force the other players to be her transport. Now instead of an asshole that's bent on ruining the campaign every time you give them an inch, they are a player controlled antagonist with limited influence that the other players have to keep in check. This forces the problem player to find creative ways to interfere and actually learn the game, and it creates emergent problems for the other members to figure out how to deal with them on their quest.
Unfortunately, that recquires them to be a reasonable person and a good sport. In my experience, this kind of problem player is rarely either of those things...

I just got an D&D idea: All the party members are goblins stacked on each other pretending to be a human. Their goal is to be let into a movie theater but the staff won’t let them so they have to sneak into the theater. (My apologies if my grammar is bad)
We had a barbarian with a 1 in int. The DM made us have to remind him to breathe once in a while
I love that so much 😂
I like the idea of a modern dnd, the archer just has a gun the druid is just a furry/cosplayer and etc.
So cyberpunk?
@Mode… actually fuck were in cyberpunk.
@yea! kinda. i forgot cyberpunk existed
For the gate that lets small creatures in (medium if you duck/crawl) but keeps giants out, could go with a portcullis with just-wide-enough bars protecting a heavy gate with a doggy door.
We had a friend called Scooter, who could break any DnD game within 5 campaigns. Each session, he would ask a "can I do this" question once or twice during that game session. By the time the 5th game session of that campaign rolled around, the questions were starting to make the game master narrow their eyes and scowl some as they began to see what horrible shenanigans scooter was up to.
We called it the Scooter Ladder, or "How to create a nuclear bomb in a medieval fantasy game setting and blow the party up in 5 game sessions."
Oh no you’re absolutely right the anger/hatred rabbit hole is getting worse because it gets more clicks so people are in-turn behaving more hostile because they’re behind a screen “anonymously” and their reactions reflect the content they consume.
Yeah it sickens and saddens me to see that the wholesome rabbit hole gets ignored and the anger rabbit hole gets more intense and more attention than ever. I hope someone or something can be done so that what happened to JoCat doesn’t get repeated.
JoCat's videos are what helped me understand how to play dnd. They were basically the reason why I was even able to start playing. They deserved to be treated so much better than they were.
40:09 last session our DM gave us a magic item that immediatly figured out how to exploit.
our second DM (we got two because the one that gave us the item is a first time DM and the other one helps her balance and shit) and me immediatlly told her to change the way it works.
btw the item was a stone that turns every solid thing it touches into gold (in a small radius) until it is removed.
our sorcerer immeditally realised we can turn someone's throat into gold and make them choke to death, while I realised we can turn someone's arm to gold and just rip it off, since gols is pretty soft and my character is very strong
Oh, here's a possible conflict based on the Vampire Engine concept: what if the vampire finds a way to turn one of the party of an NPC into their servant, and this results in the servant releasing their vampire Lord/Lady? As a result there could be an epic battle to put the vampire back and cure the vampire's servant.
My DM is a silver tongued Devil and i love him for it. Man can make us doubt everything by just going "are you sure?"
And this one time... I was trying to Impress this Elf girl at the Mages guild (everyone is on board and wingmanning my Dragonborn Druid to help him get together with her) so i remembered "hey, i have these Rubys, i can use this wish dragon to make them Earings!" He said he'd allow it but to word this VERY Carefully since the wish dragon is like a Monkeys paw... after a good 10 minutes of us discussing, i offered to trade away next Sessions Breath weapon Use for this wish to work as i want it... he Agrees...
Then tells us, "you had the right answer from minute 1, i just wanted to see how far i could make you go". So i traded away my Breath weapon for next session and made his job as DM easier for Nothing- i was simultaneously mad but laughing my butt off
9:49 Thunder damage is not electricity. It's shockwaves of any kind.

It made more sense when it was called sonic.
I'm with the "sonic is the logical name" crowd here. Thunder is thunder, it accompanies lightning, it is a very specific type of sound. Sonic covers all sound. It's like saying all fruits do apple damage. Why do you hate oranges and bananas huh? WHY?

15:30 speaking of dark campaign I ran this ancient punk campaign (already mentioned it in another comment, yes) and they players eventually ventured into the underworld as one does in such stories; didn't expect a thriving "necropolis" fashioned after Dark City and Metropolis;
it sadly broke my players; two didn't want to leave the family and responsibility behind they had there, the others didn't take well when I started to give npcs new personalities "over night";
12:15 => If you have poisonous retractible snipples, it even justify having boob armour. You protect a key trump card, while relying on your otherwise tough skin along with fantasy tropes to keep it unknown
That paladin must be a disciple of Hozier. "Worship in the bedroom" indeed.

8:30 spell for basic hygiene is _prestidigitation._ Healthcare is harder, but take one level of Druid and you get _goodberry_ to take care of food requirements and you can _create water_ for hydration (and hygiene too, pair that with _mold earth_ and you can make a tub). _Cure wounds_ and _goodberry_ can take care of most hurts. You'll have to dedicate one more level to get _lesser restoration_ to cure basic conditions (like poisoned or diseased). If you don't plan to adventure you're all set.
22:45 "True Polymorph" into a piece of candy or "Prestidigitation" on the chunks, after the NPC upsets the party, to turn them into candy-flavored.
The dungeon master could have a "curse of candymorph" in which a player who's been getting on his/her/their nerves turns into a piece of candy that any of the other players or NPCs could eat. Eating the candy would give the player or NPC who ate it a temporary but insanely powerful buff and kill the obnoxious player. This would incentivize the other players to kill said player in order to prevent an NPC from eatting the candy and wiping the entire party.
I didn't know Jocat got cancelled and now I'm really sad. Everything they made was so delightful. I literally watch the girls video on days I'm struggling with body issues because it makes me feel better.
Yeah me too. As a woman, I wasn’t offended by the video at all, in fact I found it amusing. I’m sick and tired of people getting offended on my behalf to cancel people who are just trying to make others feel better about themselves. I’m sorry you’re experiencing issues, and I hope things get better for you soon.
I wouldn't say canceled, more like bullied into leaving the platform unfortunately
Not cancelled. More relentlessly harassed by people who couldn’t handle the idea of someone saying “all body types are good”.
@@kitkatbreaker1270 Isn't that the definition of "canceling" someone?
@@jorvach9874 No. the whole “cancelled” thing was about people doing horrible things and being deplatformed. Jocat didn’t do anything wrong. Incels just got mad because he said he likes women of all sizes.
I was playing a campaign that only had two other players and none of us had any healing stuff, so our DM had a gnome healer NPC following us around. One session we freed a bunch of slaves, but to get them out of dodge we sent the gnome off with them and planned to meet up later in the campaign. Well, we were still down a healer, so our DM had us come across another NPC, this time a senile wizard, but we didn't realize it at the time so we beat him up and left him robbed blind on the side of the road. Anyway, I took his staff, and that's how my lizardfolk barbarian became the group's resident spellcaster and white mage.
