I have found through trial and error that sometimes a story within a story can be a fantastic plot hook. Having a piece of lore or legend in your world that all or most of the players know (maybe some believe and maybe some are skeptical) and starting them in that moment of discovery that it is real and right in front of them. Then allowing them to figure out this is just part of a bigger story can draw them in to need to discover the rest.
That's a great idea! Love that
In my current campaign, a letter was sent to each player and it had an offer of adventure, fame, etc. But once signed the paper had a timer on it. In universe some characters signed it last minute having no prep time, other had weeks before the timer hit zero. Regardless when it did they all got teleported to a far away land, they were given a speech by a giant who ruled the land and they were all put in line and branded marking them a citizen. Soon after they find out they are on a series of floating islands connected by gigantic metal chains. Likely with no way back. I really liked that opening and I hope whenever I do another one I can make it as memorable.
duuude that's epic haha. Love that so much.
I like this a lot, because I think people miss the importance of storytelling hooks in DnD…
But I think when people say hooks in the DnD context they mean providing incentives for players to investigate somewhere, or otherwise interact with some sort of world/plot element.
Yep! Agreed. I think its about making your players interested in your world and making them WANT to keep going
"leave the thing on the thing" i laughed so much
It was a long late night and I was struggling LMAO
I think the best hook i have done for campgain was simplh saying " we are dammed by cursed blood to be all pulled to picth black, we are all siblings by our shared curse".
That's gorgeous 😲love that writing
0:49 Tobias multiclassin’ into necromancer huh? Prodigy.
shhhh its a secret
0:49 must be cold
@0:48 Forget dragons! The next kingdom in Westeros should be built on the back of Tobias, the King's Displacer Kitten.
LOL this made my night. Also....winter is coming....
@@TheFantasyForge I'm Canadian, which is practically Wildling territory, so....
@@GregMcNeish That's wildling territory in my eyes!
The last part of the video made me realise that an “actor au/behind the scenes” clip would be funny, where Forge is a flame-headed actor speaking in front of a green screen. Every time he flubs a line, he looks off-screen and apologises to D&D monsters and the entire casts of Indiana Jones, Star Wars, the Hobbit, etc. who are supposed to come on next but keep getting delayed by his mess-ups. And they’re all like, “It’s cool man,” because at this point they’re a regular guest on his show. Meanwhile Forge’s long-suffering editor is the camera man.
Idk these videos are great and I’m invested in this channel. Thanks for another great video!
Omg that's genius haha. That's like Wreck it Ralph status lmao.
Appreciate the love! :D
0:48 "whatever this is" indeed!
Love your videos! Love the quality of your animations and your voice!
Appreciate the kind words! :D
Fantastic video. Love it. Only wish they were longer! I could listen to this stuff for hours
aw shucks I appreciate that
Yet another BANGER. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the love! :D
all this advice has been so useful and really helped me create a good campaign for my players thanks.
Glad it helped! Appreciate the love!
:48 :49 😻
😁
3:43 I think this was an inside joke between the GMs, who each were quoting "Avatar: The Last Airbender" opening. Aabria and Matt opened with "Water. Earth." before that in there campaigns.
LMAO I do remember Matt doing that. Never saw Aabria do that. If that's true that's amazing lmao. That means the next Airbender is here...
@@TheFantasyForge Ok, I double checked it. Brennan the GOAT made it first and than Matt and Aabria started to troll a little :D
Waiting for Air now
Thanks for the video. I do struggle a bit what these bullet points mean combined. How could it look in a campaign? It feels still a bit too abstract for me, some help would be much appreciated ❤
Yeah definitely! What's your campaign theme/story? For example if it's a necromancer rising, what if they witnessed the first rising? Or if it's about dragons, what if they see the first dragon to return in 1000 years. You can start in the action, make them care about some NPC's and make them witness something happen to someone they care. The necromancer takes an NPC or family member. The dragon destroys a home town. Anything the connects them to the story in a way that is done through action. Hope that helps
@@TheFantasyForge yep, that helps a lot! Thanks!
@@TheFantasyForge i had a similar problem, which is why i came to the comments lol. i think more concrete examples of how to apply them to dnd would add a lot to another future video of this style!
@@yuvvy Hey that's good to know! I'll have to make one of those! Stay tuned
First
Started DM-ing recently , you helped me a lot !
@@user-wv7li9jt2x Glad it helped! Appreciate the love! :D
0:48-0:50 Tobias vying for the iron throne.
