    I did this starter kit with my son, I wish I had listened to this first. I have listened to the Phandelver series, very useful.
    In this one you point out several possible things about the setting that never even crossed my mind. We’re both new to DnD and I find it hard to balance just imagining/describing, against, managing the reading and game. There’s just too much paperwork in DnD, it takes away from the game play.
    Listening to this now, always good tips.

      Oh that's great, I love to hear it! There are definitely more rules light systems out there that kind of just get out of the way and let you have fun and tell the story. Sometimes I look a good crunch but lately I've been gravitating towards simpler systems myself

    Story and appreciation time!
    I am a first-time DM. I watched ALL of your videos about running LMoP and was preparing to run it for a group of first-time DnD players. After discovering DoSI, I pivoted and decided to run this one instead. It's shorter, and seems much simpler for a first-time DM. I've watched a lot of DoSI running videos, but I just found this one right in the nick of time! Your videos are truly some of my favorite learning tools because they offer ways to improve pre-written campaigns that aren't major changes. Some of the changes that other UA-camrs offer are sometimes too daunting for a new DM like myself, that I wouldn't feel confident trying them out. The suggestion that the ship captain first notices the comet is SUCH a good detail and one that doesn't require a major rewrite and I will totally utilize it this weekend. Anyways.. I'm almost done with this video and I'm gonna keep going through your series. Thank you for your videos! They are fantastic resources.

      Thanks, happy to hear it. I put off making this series for a long time but ultimately decided to do it because I want to meet new DMs where they are, and this comment helped me feel like I made the right choice. Thanks again

    If I have 6 people, what are some ways I can speed things up a little? I dont want some people to have to take a back seat and potentially miss out...

    • @RdotDoyle
      @RdotDoyle  3 місяці тому

      There's a lot of tips and tricks out there for how DM's can speed things up. My favorite is I try to always announce who is "on deck" or up next in combat so they can be ready to act when it's their turn.
      What you don't hear very often is it's not entirely on the Dungeon Master to make sure everyone's getting enough time in the spot light. You are outnumbered 5 to 1, so I would also express this perfectly legitimate concern and enlist the players to help you make sure no one gets stuck in the back seat and feels like they're just along for the ride

    Why do you expel people with a “right wing world view”?
    Kind of a jerk move as that ostracizes a large portion of the population…

      yeah i also found that comment to be a little alienating. if a player is not a suitable match for your group, then they are not suitable regardless of your political viewpoints. just because someone is "right/left wing" does not mean they are good/bad for your group. i have participated in fantastic groups with members who actually disagree vehemently on pretty big issues, but that doesn't mean we can't escape together and enjoy each other's company.

    Why does it have to be “right wing political talking points”? Couldn’t it just be “political talking points in general”?
    I was watching your series on DOIP and figured I’d watch this as well but if this channel segregates folks based on their politics outside the table then I’m sure I can patron someone else’s effort to explain these sources. It’s a shame too.
    Unless you would like to clarify what you meant?

      In my experience, there's a certain way of thinking that seems to trigger people to anger when consideration of others comes up. I don't really want to get deeper into it here, so if you disagree to the point you can't watch the rest of this playlist, no hard feelings. There's plenty of content out there

      @@RdotDoyle you got deep enough in your content to dismiss half of a nations rational. All I’m saying is don’t go alienating your audience on a fledgling channel like this. It seems you may want to take a page from your own book and practice consideration of others feelings.
